Just hold down on the screen somewhere and add an icon for Apex Actions->App Drawer. Dev changed it from being a fixed feature to being just another icon in preparation for making the dock fully customisable, but that means you have to manually place it now.

Theme making..

Hello all,

Very very noob question:

"I want to make a theme, but I can't find the apex folder nowhere on my S3, how come?"

I have read the whole FAQ about Apex launcher, but nowhere does it explains where to extract or place the theme.

Plz I need a reply with concrete data from someone who knows what he/she is talking about.

Thank you in forward.

[Request] it be nice to have quick settings pulldown from the right side of notifications like the tablets..

Not sure if its possible but it would b sweet
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
I think what you're asking for would depend on the ROM itself.
[Android Apps and Games] jbird92113:
(Request) This is one of the best launchers. I was wondering if one of the app drawer transition effects was a slide down effect.

Great launcher but recently been getting a lot of this.

I think if they can do gestures then this shouldnt be a problem.. Just a thought.. But what do i know..
[Android Apps and Games] dkownacki:
I love this launcher but i miss one feature. Is there any chance to add "own order" option of sorting in app drawer?

[Android Apps and Games] wozn:
You posted this in here and nova? Which did you buy?
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Gestures on the main screen are under the control of the launcher, yes. But anything to do with the notification bar is the SystemUI, which is part of the ROM. The launcher can trigger the notification because the SystemUI exposes an option for other apps to call for it, but if a gesture starts in the notification area, SystemUI handles it before the launcher even knows it's started.

So the launcher can be set up to have different gestures for accessing notifications and quick settings, in theory they could even be the same gesture in different parts of the screen, but that would only change behaviour when you start the gestures on the main screen. Pulling down from the top will produce whatever behaviour the ROM dictates, regardless of which launcher you run or what your settings in it are.
[Android Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
Maybe both? I also bought Apex. And Nova. And ADW. And LauncherPro (back in the days). Just for comparison sake.

[Android Apps and Games] Firnagzen:
Hmmm. Just curious: Is there a way of making a screen that is only accessible by gestures? That is to say, I cannot swipe left/right from the home screen to reach it, but must, say, pinch in from the main screen to jump to it.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Currently? No. Is it theoretically possible? Yes.

Not sure what you'd use this sort of thing for, but if you want it, the place for feature requests is in the user voice, link is in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] Firnagzen:
Eh. Mainly I wanted a place to display a bunch of widgets, but it's rather untidy, so I would prefer that it be normally inaccessible. Not that urgent, anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] Gambler_3:
The single most annoying thing about apex is that every time you change a transition effect the launcher has to restart, that does not happen with any other launcher.

The best exclusive apex feature so far has been the "new" tab in the app drawer for me. Its just THE most convenient way to keep up with latest installed apps as I dont like sorting the app drawer with installed date. The new tab simply shows apps installed in the last few days, havent seen any other launcher do this.
[Android Apps and Games] stargate125645:
Why is resetting a problem? It takes less than a second. I wouldn't be surprised if other launchers did the same thing and just didn't tell you about it overtly.
[Android Apps and Games] timpohladthomas:
Have you ever tried QuickDesk Pro/Beta? They can be found in the play store and can be set to be activated on a gesture or with the home button.

EDIT: Wasn't sure if I could post links to paid applications, so here's this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=QuickDesk+Pro
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
I just got an email showing that the request for "Re-sizing icons" has been closed. Before I get my hopes up, does this mean that they will be adding this in the next beta/release or does this mean that they've decided to scrap the idea altogether?
[Android Apps and Games] timpohladthomas:
Already implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] Gambler_3:
Not it does not take less a second for me and no other launchers dont do that its pretty obvious. You can hit the home button as soon as you change the transition effect and everything will be there on the homescreen.

Changing app drawer animation is even more annoying as first the homescreen reloads and then the app drawer reloads when you open it unless you wait a couple of seconds before opening it.
[Android Apps and Games] AlphaQ:
Add support for QVGA armv6 too sir :D :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Jac0verflow:
I think that Apex is the best 4.0+ launcher out there: it works flawlessly on my Nexus S (using Helly Bean based on 4.2.1) and it's good even on my Asus Transformer tf101g.

My only problem comes with the App Drawer layout on the tf101g 10" screen: I really like the "centered" apps layout, but margins are NOT responsive at all. Scrolling does not work.

I get it to work properly only swyping above the icons or removing the margin, which is annoying, because when using the tablet you often use the thumb to scroll through pages.

Also no margins at all is a fair option, but it's not so convenient: it looks messy and not so comfortable.

Anyway thanks for the hard work! Great app :D

Just hoping to see these little bugs fixed in the future, to get the perfect home experience!
[Android Apps and Games] hiandroid:
When I increase the icon size, icons in the first row gets cut and doesn't display properly
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
Thank you for the clarification. I am disappointed. I was under the impression they were working on a way to resize icons like we do widgets, independently and on the homescreen. I guess it would be more difficult to accomplish than I thought, maybe taking up too much memory for the launcher.

I don't want to enlarge or shrink ALL my icons, just a few. Back to using Desktop Visualizer I guess... if anything, I should probably move my votes over to backing up widgets. That way I can have all my custom sized icons with Desktop Visualizer saved.
[Android Apps and Games] timpohladthomas:
Ahh, my bad, I misunderstood the request.
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
Actually it was my bad, I misunderstood the feature that I voted on, hah. It clearly said make icons re-sizable like on ADW but I never really took the time to look into how ADW does the re-sizing.

Maybe I'll have to submit my own request and hope it gains ground, for now I moved my votes into backing up widgets and widget locations when backing up the homescreens. This way I can use DV to create custom icons and not worry about having to recreate them every time I do a wipe.
[Android Apps and Games] Pain_Deluxe:
Hey first , thanks :)

One Question. Every launcher on my G300 (CM9.1) was lagging (ok trebutchet works great too, but to low variations)

But this Launcher is so smooth on scrolling with many Widget ect.

Can someone tell me why Nova is lagging and APEX smooth as hell?
[Android Apps and Games] timpohladthomas:
Different launchers? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
Nope, you didn't misunderstand.

A lot of people, including me, had this implementation in mind, maybe because the initial feature requester mentioned "as go launcher", which is, as far as I remember when I used it in gingerbread time, how it worked.

I'm even more disappointed about it as I fought for this feature for a long time.

From this point, I think that creating another request on uservoice about it, is just plain useless.

Hidden Message Notification

Forgive if if answered, I used the search first......

I am using Apex launcher, Multipicture Live Wallpaper and Desktop Visualizr to create my homescreen. My problem is that I cannot see when I missed an email or text message. I have the dock hidden, and am using a blank .png for the icon that overlays the word "messaging" on the below screenshot. How do I get a notification to show up? If I unhide the dock, I can see a "3" or however missing messages I have.

Having a slight issue. Installed on HTC EVO 4g LTE s-off Stock rooted JB. Everytime I open an app through a widget and hit the back button on my phone, it reverts back to my old sense launcher until I hit the home button... It is quite the nuisance as I wanted this launcher to completely replace my sense launcher and I paid for the pro version which I cannot refund now. I love this launcher otherwise but this issue makes me just want to revert back to stock :(

You need to create it. When you are managing the drawer tabs, (Apex Settings->Drawer->Manage Drawer), you select to add a new app group, then when selecting the type, you select "New". This adds a "New" tab to your app drawer.

Has anybody experienced lag (and low fps) in the app switcher and app transitions with this launcher?

It seems like this problem shouldn't be able to be caused by a launcher but when I go back to the stock launcher, the problem disappears and all app transitions and scrolling in the switcher is perfectly smooth again. When I switch back to apex launcher, it's all laggy and horrible as **** again (sometimes instantly, sometimes takes a minute). Also, opening a folder and using the app drawer has the same lag. Sorry if this has been mentioned and fixed before, I searched!

Edit: it seems to only happen in landscape mode, so it may not be this launcher at all. Sorry! Ignore this post.

That wouldn't be default apex state. That would be app's own icon. If you set manually to app icon it wouldn't be themed if you set some theme.
[Android Apps and Games] Wilkesin:
It is. I found that a long press of the home key will also bring up the recent apps switcher and it works fine, but if you have the default hardware key customizations enabled in CM (which work basically the same as they do in Touchwiz on a Galaxy S3) then long pressing the menu key to get the 'recent apps switcher' is borked. The easy fix is to disable the hardware key customizations in Settings>System>HardWare Keys in CyanogenMod settings, but and only use the long press home key for recent apps, but isnt it weird that the other one just wont work (in portrait mode at least)?

Wish there was a way to get it sorted, but it is so minor that I doubt Apex folks will feel like spending time to look into fixing it. I'll get used to the new way of doing things. Carry on....

I installed Apex on my Nexus 10, runing stock Android 4.2.

The main reason i wanted Apex was to have a tablet UI, but it is not working. I even restarted the tablet, but i still have notifications on top and the home buttons in the bottow at the center...

Am I missing some step? how do i get it to work?

Noticed a slight bug, not really a big deal, but thought I would mention it.

Every so often when I return to the home screen from an app (or first unlock the device), the initial transition effect reverts to the original "none" setting. Every screen swipe after that applies whatever effect I have set at the time (Cube out, etc) but that first screen swipe does not display any transition effect.

This happens on my GS3 running CM10 Stable as well as on my Nexus 7 running Stock 4.2.1

Problem with shrinking widgets

Has anyone noticed on their device when they drag a widget over another, the bottom one shrinks but still takes up all the space it was before it did. For example, say i have a chronus widget on top and a google search widget below that is stretched all the way from left to right. If i drag the chronus widget over the search one, so the search one moves above the chronus one, the search widget gets resized. But if i try to resize it, it is still full length across the screen. The widget returns to normal size if the launcher is restarted.

Auto-rotates when set to "portrait only"

Hello,

I've just switched to Apex Launcher from LauncherPro, and love it. I will gladly buy the full version, however there is just one problem that I hope you may have a solution for. The problem is that the home screen auto-rotates even though I have set it in Settings/Behaviour/Screen Orientation to "portrait only". This is frustrating as I then have to wait for the home screen to re-orient itself when I wake it.

Versions are Apex version 1.4.0 from Play Store, Sony Xperia U phone with stock Android 4.0.4.

Someone had this problem back on page 475 of the thread, it was resolved as a conflict with Tasker, however I don't have Tasker or anything else that rotates the screen, to my knowledge. Would appreciate any ideas please.

Cheers, and thanks for a great app.

[Android Apps and Games] Ditamae:
Hey guys.... so I just upgraded to the SGS3. Had some slight lag in the app drawer on my HTC G2, but this is quite a bit worse. Maybe this is well known/documented... I've always hid my notification bar. But I've narrowed down the lag on the SGS3 (both in homescreens and app drawer) to this feature. When I don't hide the bar - no lag (or barely any). Hide the bar - lots-o-lag. Is this similar to what you guys see? Love Apex/love Dennis... this is just frustrating. :eek:

Oh, as an addendum - I get the exact same behavior with Nova. Lag seems directly tied to hiding/unhiding the notification bar in my experience.
