Thanks for pointing that out. Obviously dennisxl changed his update method. It never used to be like that. Did he mention this new procedure and I just missed it? He should get rid of the beta checking feature I mentioned earlier though. It's outdated and confusing now.

Hi there !

I'd like to report a minor issue. It's more a cosmetic problem than an actual bug.

On my Moto Razr i, the desktop overlaps the dock panel.

This makes an ugly transition between the wallpaper and the dock.

One half seems to use the transparency setting while the other half is black.

This problem only appears in the portrait mode, landscape mode works ok.

I attach the two screenshots to illustrate the problem.

The Razr i display is 540 x 960 pixels (256 ppi).

I can provide more information if needed.

Thanks in advance.

Is there any possibility that you could enable L style app launch animations? Including when returning to home from an app? Nova have implemented it in their beta but I am an Apex guy. Forever. LOL.

One FC I'm facing is when long pressing desktop to get into wallpapers. On first try, it FC's but is cool after that. Minor bug. I'm on stock LG KK rooted Xposed LG G2. [MENTION=2463901]dennisxl[/MENTION]

[Android Apps and Games] Dave77459:
Update: I returned from L to 4.4.4... L was just not ready yet and I seemed to do too good a job of finding bugs. :-/ I noted that the Wallpaper Scrolling doesn't work in 4.4.4 either. However, it seems to be an issue with how I use wallpapers.

I do not select them via the picker; instead, I use Tasker to set the wallpaper based on context. This results in non-scrolling wallpapers. When I use the picker in Apex, scrolling works fine.

I'm not sure if the fault is with Apex or Tasker. Any ideas on that? I miss my scrolling wallpapers!

Just wanted to say the new beta is working great mate. Very grateful for your work. Thank you.

1. The new android L animations work great, but are slow to react, as compared to the regular animations on the list in apex. I believe this is actually how it is on Android L too, so I will probably revert to one of the standard animations.

2. I see a lot of dropped frames whenever I enable wallpaper scrolling. This is on any kind of wallpaper. It also feels less responsive as compared to static wallpaper. Do you think you could look into this? I really love the moving wallpaper on screen swipe. I am using my LG G2 on stock LG 4.4.2.

[Android Apps and Games] subhani:
I see what you mean now. I can confirm that it doesn't work, the way you described it. But if you just want to put the screen to sleep then why not achieve that with the method I described instead, at least for the meantime. The app I use is called 'Screen off and lock', free on the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] bland.life:
Tried the slide up animation and noticed some things:

- As I close GMail the status bar turns transparent with gradient against the GMail actionbar color, then the GMail UI starts sliding down. Would be better if the status bar stays black. Ok, seems like its just the apps on Holo Light.

- When I go back from the recent apps screen, it slides down then the homescreen flashes once. Not that smooth compared to the System animation.

Haven't seen this asked yet so I apologize if it has. I'm curious if apex will be getting the white search bar option like nova has released recently? I just like how it looks but obviously not a issue if not.

[Android Apps and Games] joannaex:
I'm having this very same issue on my Nexus 5 (4.4.4 official ROM). No matter what I try I can't add an appshortcut in a folder in the home screen. It works maybe 2/10 times. Same with dragging one shortuct on another one to create a folder. When I drag the icon over the folder, the folder just moves away.

I switched over to Google launcher and it works fine so this is definitely an Apex issue. Major one I think. If I can't organize my home screen apps in folders it's useless for me. What confuses me is I don't see people mentioning this problem and I wonder if it's device specific. Any thoughts or workarounds? I really like Apex and I am willing to try anything before I uninstall and use another launcher. :(

Edit: I have Apex version 2.4.1
[Android Apps and Games] sancho_panzer:

[Android Apps and Games] Dave77459:
It is sometimes squirrely for me (Nexus 5, Android 4.4.4). My folders are in kept in the dock, and when I try to drop an app on, it will sometimes move the folder from the dock to the desktop, and drop the app in the dock. However, I can then drop it onto the folder and move the folder back.

Although... I can't make it misbehave any more, so perhaps this was fixed for me.

The strange thing is that with the same settings, the N7 displayed this bar correctly, translucid and "fade to black".

[Android Apps and Games] sancho_panzer:
You're wrong...

[MENTION=2463901]dennisxl[/MENTION] I can confirm this. I always had this problem on most recent Apex versions. For some reason Apex is keeping recent apps in memory (all launchers do it) and when you close some app with back key last recent app it's called instead of home screen. It's really annoying have to clear recent apps to solve this bug.

This doesn't happen on Nova and Google launchers.

Looking at the link shared by eurochild, it is obvious that he isn't flatly 'wrong'. A number of people reporting this issue are reporting unanimously that a) it isn't a launcher issue, b) that it appears to be primarily plaguing nexus devices and c) that chrome is the main culprit but not alone in this behaviour.

I was only stating in my post that I have the same apex version as you and I couldn't reproduce this behaviour. Thereby suggesting that it may be to do with a combination of things like your device (nexus), chrome and any other variable. Although the first post mentioning this issue above stated it doesn't happen on google launcher or nova, this is not the case for those on the thread I quoted above. They do confirm it happens on launchers other than Apex, including stock nexus launcher.

Nova save the scale and fills completely all the widget, Apex not.

Adapting the widget for one second the graph is large like the widget, but when I stop to resize, the width is reduced compared to that of the widget

[MENTION=2463901]dennisxl[/MENTION]

Is it possible to choose app drawer opening animation? Instead of 'fly in', I think it would be more consistent to make it 'slide up' like the android L animation for opening apps. That way there is more consistency across the board, plus it is more intuitive for those of us using swipe up gesture to open the drawer.

Can't edit homescreen icons

I have a Nexus 4 running Paranoid Android 3.99

On current version Apex 2.4.1 and also tried beta version:

I cannot edit homescreen icons. The ones that I have edited before are still correct but new ones cannot be edited. I click on "edit" from the popup while long-pressing the icon and it lets me select the new icon. I have tried different icon packs and also tried selecting a photo and a cropped photo. In the confirmation dialog it shows the new icon but when I press "OK" nothing is changed.

I installed Nova and also tried the default launcher and both work fine. I also reinstalled Apex and tried from a fresh install.

I have googled and searched the forums and can't find a solution. Any suggestions?

A Basic Question regarding icon positioning

Hi All,

I have Apex Launcher Pro v2.4.1. I also have the latest versions of UCCW and Zooper Widget Pro.

I am designing a homescreen based on a piano keyboard, where information (Time, Date, SMS count, etc) appears on the black keys and all my icons for apps appear on the white keys.

Using Zooper Widget, I have managed to place the info readouts exactly where I need them (on the black keys), as positioning is set by x/y co-ordinates relative to the top left of the screen. However, icon placement is obviously limited to the Apex Grid. I have set my grid to 10x8, but this will not allow me to place the icons where I want them. So: how can I get them to appear exactly where I want them?

Do I need to use Zooper and/or UCCW to create widgets that incorporate the app icons? If so, how do I go about that?

Or am I missing something here? Apex specifies overlapping abilities, but us this limited to widgets and not icons?

I think I need a lesson in basic concepts - could one of the 'uber'-designers who populate this forum please take the time to help me?

Many thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] fcasoli:
sorry if I post again, but if you have a lot of homescreens, this feature is very useful:

If you move a widget from one screen to another, when you get to the screen to the extreme left or right, you can not continue to move to the next, but you have to go back.

See the picture, I want to move a widget from screen 4 to screen 1, I would lite to swipe in right direction so with two steps I complete the change.

But when you gain the screen 5 you cannot go to screen 1, but you must revert and go to screen 4, 3, 2, and 1...

I hope my request is accepted :silly:

I thought icons changed in the drawer would be in some way kept by the application unless changed back ( remembering the path to the icon file used, or possibly in the exported preferences at least ) but it seems it is not so.

I cleared cache of Apex and all reverted back to their default icons. Since clearing cache does not change preferences or setup of Apex, it was a surprise.

Is this a bug, or intended behaviour ? Although if it is the latter it'd be good to be able to export the customized setup or else it'll be a pain to change icons back and forth without a way to keep them...

wtf

Ok, just like many others, I am having problems with apex crashing after changing screen orientation. It also screws up the background image and zooms way in on it. Then I have to choose apex as my default launcher and hit always again and again and again......sometimes it does this randomly for no reason at all.

With that out of the way, I'll post what really bothers me. After going to the play store to see if others were having this issue, I noticed that it changed the date it was updated from july 23rd to july 12th. I tried to make a review and leave a comment but google play wouldnt allow me to. It said I was not able to post a review because I was using a test version of the app. I never once agreed to use a 'test' version of your app. Even your website says to go to the forums to try the beta versions of your app.

apex has basically become unusable and I will most likely be switching to a different launcher on account of the fact that this is not the first issue Ive had with you. many emails have simply gone unanswered. While I understand that you are very busy and probably get an overwhelming amount of emails (and this is why I never posted here complaining about that issue until now), this is the icing on the cake.

Yes, I know all this could have been avoided by using titanium backup or anything else. No, I didn't make a backup beforehand. Which is my own fault. The main issue is the whole test thing.
