I agree, I make a ton of my own icons for Desktop Visualizer. If this functionality were built-in, I'd like it a LOT more. Having the added layers of an app to create widgets to represent icons is irritating and you have to create them all over again if you ever flash to a new ROM.

If they're going to add this, (big IF) they need to do it right, and do gutterless, edge-to-edge icons, and tell us the native sizes for our device and configuration as well.

I give feedback as promised.

On the XWLPF, after setting the build.prop following your directions, I noticed no black screen issue and the occasional lag when launching apps in home was fixed.

Sadly, only tested less than 24h. I messed up my phone and while flashing it, I decided to update to XWLPG as many said it was optimized for better launcher performance (written on an official samsung twitter account)

48h later on XWLPG, Apex launcher never was so smooth, without your mod.

So, maybe your mod works (test <24h) but XWLPG is a winner. Install procedure on LPF and LPG was the same: full wipe, /system format, restore apps with TiBu

That gingerbread theme android does published.. Awesome. Now an apex ICS theme from them or anybody else would be fantastic, it would allow anyone to replace stock Icons and wallpapers with the real Google goodness easily. There are adw and go themes for that, but those are a bit too intrusive for my liking (popping up in far too many menues and such).

hi guys, can anyone help with this query, i am running an app called root call blocker, the widget on the screen seems to not show the correct state of the app when i restart, i have had a msg saying its the launcher caching the apps image, can you let me know how i stop apex caching this image or so it wont stop the apps widget from working correctly?

I will paste my original msg below:

I have the app as being able to function in superuser.

When i restart my phone and it comes back on, the widget always shows as being off, if i go into the app te app shows as on (and was on when i restarted the phone)

so on my phone at least there seems to be a communication issue between the app and the widget, if i tap the widget, the green light comes on and the app is still on if i go into it, i can then turn the app off by the widget and works fine in the app, its just when i restart my phone the widget seems to just show as off regardless whether the app is off / on.

is this a common bug or maybe something just to do with my phone?

I am using a Samsung Salaxy S2, running AndyX v2.0 AOKP / Siyah 3.3.1

thanks

James

The answer i got back to my query was:

Its a problem with your launcher caching the apps image.

[Android Apps and Games] naguz:
ICS has forced margins/padding on all widgets built with newer SDKs. (ICS and above). That is probably part of the problem. (Se explanation of the problem here.)

Still, on other launchers (t.ex. ADW.Ex) the problems is much smaller. So Apex is doing something wrong in addition to Google idiocy.

However, Samsungs TouchWiz launcher ignores these new forced, so I'm hoping we CAN escape Googles ludacris, useless decision.

Pretty please fix this, dev. I don't wantto wate 30%+ o my screen real estate..
[Android Apps and Games] tyraelasd:
I used to love this launcher but now that Ive got a Galaxy Note, is so slow I dont know why, had to move to Nova ( I dont really like it but it works faster on my note )

Does any one use the Apex launcher, home screen gird gap is too big ?

My cell phone is SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 4.0.3

When i use widgets of digital clock, it show 6*1

but this widgets is 5*1.

I use nova launcher is show 5*1 too,but apex is not ? why

And in apex, gap between widgets is to big. I has setting vertical and horizontal gap to "NO", it's mean zero,right ?

So any widgets to show on home screen look to small :(

I've always been hesitant with themes unless it is built into a ROM. Do these themes slow anything down?

Swyped from my eVo
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Themes basically replace the default image files (.pngs mainly I guess) used by the original dev. So they don't slow down the performance or anything. Example: The folder circle can be made to glow orange instead of blue. The theme in that case probably changes just the color hex used for the glow. I've been using the Orange Apex theme and it's awesome. Same snappiness as the original Apex.
[Android Apps and Games] kris7272:
what about new beta?
[Android Apps and Games] ryanalan82:
Awesome I just put the red theme, gotta love black n red. The only thing I don't like is how transparent the folders are when they open up. I like how dark the folder background was when it opened so the folder icons don't sorta blend in with the icons on the home screen. even though it was the theme that did this, I was wondering if changing the transparency of the folders was going to be an option in the future of apex. you can change how transparent the app drawer is, so doing it to the folder shouldn't be a problem. apex is awesome, by far best launcher.

Notification Counter on Messages always shows me a 2

I could not find about it, so I post it here.

Please don't kill me! :rolleyes:

My biggest problem is, that the Notification Counter on my Messages show allways the Number (2)!

Better, it shows 2 to much!

Example: When i get 5 SMS, the Counter shows (7) and so on...

I have deleted the Apex-Data in Applikations, reinstalled Apex... no change!

What can i do? I'am the only one with this problem? :confused:

I hope, soon will be a folder function, built in!

I think it's more important as a Theme-Support!? :o

[Android Apps and Games] NiMH_999:
Great launcher. Thanks for the hard work. Only one request I would like to ask is "app search" in app drawer. Most of us have tonnes of applications in app drawer it would be nice to search for the app instead of scrolling through pages trying to find an app. Nemus launcher and go launcher have this useful function

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
It's perfectly smooth on my Note.
[Android Apps and Games] tyraelasd:
I cant agree with you, I was using apex launcher in my galaxy ace and it was far smoother than what it is in my note. Dont know why, Im running ICS official.
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Can't agree? This isn't a case of disagreeing. I'm saying that Apex Pro is smooth on my Note running ParanoidAndroid. That's it. If it's not smooth on yours, too bad.
[Android Apps and Games] aalupatti:
Has always been smooth for all roms i have used in my note too
[Android Apps and Games] tyraelasd:
I was just saying that sadly thats not my case. Good to know that yours works like a charm, Im just letting know that in the official ICS ( at least for me ) rom its not smooth at all ( I had to change to Nova becouse of this, not really a fan of it )
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
You don't need to unhide it. Just long press on the hidden app in the list and tap on the launch button.

Which file(s) did you replace?

Yes, you may choose your own folder background image in folder settings.

Could it be that you have 2 unread MMS messages by any chance?

Which part is not as smooth? Are you talking about homescreen transitions, drawer animation, or redraws?

SGS3 slow

i have bought Samsung Galaxy S III on Monday and of course tried an Apex Launcher as on my previos Galaxy S II....but i discovered that the Touchwiz Nature UX Launcher is much faster in app and widget drawer than Apex :( so i dont have landscape-able Apex but much faster Touchwiz launcher ....maybe touchwiz is HW accelerated and Apex not....

is it possible to improve ?
[Android Apps and Games] Phil3759:
I had that problem too with MMS. Always +2

I tried remove all messages and restore: same

Finally, it was 2 mms causing the issue. Even if I read them, they cause Apex show unread.

Deleted the 2 MMS and fixed it forever

As you have sms, it will be hard to spot the culprit, hopefully I had few mms to find the ones causing problem

Hi, I think the redraw has become slow after installing the beta. Many times I see that after closing an app, the desktop stays empty for a fraction of a second or probably a second. All I can see then is the wallpaper, before the icons/folders/widgets repopulate.

Let me know if you need more diagnostic information.
[Android Apps and Games] namurt:
think i've found a bit of a bug. i'm running apex launcher pro v1.2.1 on a kindle fire which is running gedeROM v1.55 (cm9). i have disabled the "persistent search bar" in favor of using one of the apex actions (app drawer) with a custom icon. i use this on all of my homescreens to access my app drawer.

the thing is, when i go to customize the icon for the apex action, the custom icon is showing up too large. i'm using an icon from kovdev's ics theme package. i have used this same icon previously with no trouble and it used to show at the correct size. now, however, it's "zoomed" in and just too big. unfortunately, i'm not entirely sure which previous version of apex was working correctly.

screenshots are attached. note the icon in the upper right of my homescreen.

UPDATE!

after further testing, i've noticed this only happens with apex actions and not regular app shortcuts.
[Android Apps and Games] Kussie:
So i've got what could be a pretty silly question. But i need to ask it regardless, does Apex cache the icons of apps? I've just installed some new apps and they aren't been skinned (Either at all or incorectly - ie wrong size). The only i've fixed it so far is to manually change and choose the correct icon from my installed icon pack.

So my question is how do i clear the icon cache if there is one?

When you say 'all your tabs' how many do you mean?

I can only seem to get 2 tabs and the widget tab?

This is all a bit misleading if I can't have more than 2 tabs in the app drawer.

I presumed multiple tabs means exactly that, multiple, as in 4, 5, 6 etc.........

Going to have another try but this was the only reason I bought the pro version.

Edit

I see now. Not exactly what I had hoped for but its OK I suppose. I thought the tabs would just all line up side by side.

Ah well it'll have to do

Edit 2:

On second thoughts this advertising of 'Multiple Customisable Drawer tabs' is very misleading. It looks like a ploy to get people to buy the pro version. Multiple tabs to me means more than 3.

Groups are one thing but they are all on the same tab.

Shouldn't be advertised as 'Multiple Customisable Drawer tabs'

Honestly, having ONE tab works just fine for me. I've broken my apps into three groups: Apps (which is just my uncategorized apps), Games, and Tools.
