Very nice app, but on my Nexus S running CM9 the opening drawer transition FLY IN/FLY OUT seems to lag a little bit.

This never happens on Trebuchet, while it occasionally does on Nova, but other than this, I think that Apex is the best ICS launcher.

I hope to eventually get a lagfix update. Excellent work, anyway ;)

I'm gonna buy/donate to that launcher which gets this feature first...
[Android Apps and Games] robbiekhan:
GoLauncherEX already does and it's free :p

I just prefer stock launcher's look and feel so with folder support it would be amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
Nemus also has it... but they have hardware acceleration disabled, so they lag like hell

Just install updates as normal - it will continue to work as it should. Android will see that it was originally a system app and will give the update the same "system level" access.

I really am thrilled with Apex...only launcher I've been able to comfortably use after being addicted to ADW EX for the last couple years. Lolz. Any possibility of adding the option to have the dock return to the default position after launching an app on one of the additional "pages"?

If you system language different from Apex language, then when you change screen rotation, language in Apex settings changed to system (if Apex doen't translated to system language -- changed to English).
[Android Apps and Games] albsat:
great job. Please clarify me if ...

how comes that Apex, like trebuchet or Nova launcher do not have "add the folder" option in the draw menu? is it against design principles of ICS?

I really find folders as practical, because I can group certain applications and have more space.
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
Put an icon over another one, this is a basic principle of ICS
[Android Apps and Games] albsat:
True, but Apex has this option only on Homescreen and not inside in the Drawer menu. I am intersted to have folders even on Drawer menu. That is why I am asking...
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Me too that way I can put all those pesky game icons in one folder called "Games".
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
HI everyone,

I dont know if it has been asked already and I didn't feel like going thru all the pages in the thread.

So I got apex from the market on both my phone and my tab and i am loving it, it's just on my tab I really would like to have a dock like on the phone version, I have apps that I want to access on every page of the launcher and putting shortcuts for them on every page is a bit counterproductive .

ADW EX had this function, but as a whole that launcher is totally outdated and apex is way better.

I would even be happy to have a toggle in the settings that enables the phone dock on the right hand side of the screen (in landscape). Doesn't have to be fancy (although fancy is nice :D )

Thanx !!!!!

Samsung Captivate, AOKP build 28 ICS

the fact is, sometimes it lags and sometimes it lagges less, but lag is still there. scrolling is buttery smooth in drawer, when scrolling between apps, not widgets

in widgets, it lags

Apex Launcher is one of my favorites. I'd love to see some new tabs in it:

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Due to Android limitations, backup/restore desktop items only backs up and restores app icons and folders, not widgets.

Sent from The Past into The Future via The Present. :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Nova has a restore widgets functionality. You reload things yourself (settings/etc) but it keeps the placeholders for you and knows what widget used to be there. Its a little buggy though. This may be entirely different than what you are referring to.
[Android Apps and Games] Leenks:
Im used go laucher + ICS theme minimalistic
[Android Apps and Games] DroidzFX:
What weather widget/app is that?
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Nova keeps placeholders but gets you to set up all settings again due to Android limitation. As you said, though, it's a little buggy even doing that much. Apex so far doesn't even try for this functionality. It's something I'd like to see, because placeholders are better than nothing and half the widgets I use don't actually need setting up, but unless something major changes I get the impression we'll never see full widget data restored.

I can be wrong. But the icon seems to be snowstorm. So I guess it is it.

Does this launcher support scrollable widgets? I tried using the scrollable news widget, and at claims that I need a launcher that supports scrolling.
[Android Apps and Games] bedtime_with_the_bear:
Apex uses the official ICS API for scrollable widgets so the widget also needs to support the new API.

Widgets using the Gingerbread scrolling method will not be able to scroll.
[Android Apps and Games] DarkOmnius:
Hello all,

I don't know if this been mentioned before and im not sure if its a launcher problem or a problem of my rom (ressurection remix 1.0) but on my galaxy s2 i get streched out wallpapers. For example when i pick an image from my gallery and set it as wallpaper it shows it like its zoomed out, like when i have a pick of a girl it shows only her belly instead of her whole body.

I tried uploading to the new beta version but that didnt fix this. Anyone who knows how to fix the problem?

Think there is a bug with the tablet transition.

When you are in landscape, when you scroll from the current homescreen it fades away, while the incoming screen kinda appears slowly from transparent to opaque. Thats not happening on portrait mode, it just scroll showing the blue big square arround the screen and not the fades/appear effect.

Hope I had explained myslef. Hope you devs can fix it, I really like that transition.

Do you have a Screenshot around?, use it with tinyeye!
[Android Apps and Games] Revelation_Space:
*edit* Actually, having searched through the thread it seems to be a common problem, which I assume means no fix for now */edit*

Sorry for asking what is probably a really stupid question, but I can't find the answer anywhere on the web, and the Apex dev doesn't have a contact email anywhere.

When the home screens are set to accommodate 5 icons across, Apex launcher doesn't appear to allow you to resize them across the full width of the screen, only allowing up to 4 icons' width across.

The resize box appears, and you can change the size as you normally would, but if you try to make a widget stretch across all 5 slots it just won't do it. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong it would be enormously appreciated. Using a Samsung GS2.
[Android Apps and Games] arvylas:

[Android Apps and Games] bagl0312:
Hello,

I had the same problem and the solution was to set a margin in the Homescreen settings:

Horizontal Margin -> small

[Android Apps and Games] Zeinzu:
The only issue I have with this launcher is every once in awhile when the app drawer is launched it becomes insanely laggy and/or has visual tearing through the icons as you scroll. Other than that it's perfect. If this bug gets tracked down and fixed I'll be moving back to this from Nova.

I really like the all customize options in APEX, but I have a problem.

I checked all menus and settings, and I cannot find how to create a 'direct dial' shortcut on the home screen (NOT a contact shortcut). Is the function missing from the latest version?

I have apex 1.03b1 on ICS ressurection remix 1.0 .
[Android Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
use a widget

with better cut for example , I'm using it and it is perfect

nothing related to Apex
[Android Apps and Games] ro_explorer:

[Android Apps and Games] roier75:
If only things where so simple... Apparently those Direct dial and message options in the list are missing in phone.
[Android Apps and Games] ro_explorer:
What do you mean? Those are present. I actually created few speed dials and tested them (before posting the snapshots).

I'm running 4.0.4 with Apex launcher (and I used AOKP before that and it worked the same).
[Android Apps and Games] otis_bartleh:
Confirmed. I just tested also and they are present and working.

Running Codename Android 1.5 w/ Apex launcher...
[Android Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
Right : dial contact is in the shortcut in Stock ROM , I"m using better cut but yes it is there in standard

so definitively it is not Apex because it is a Shortcut :)

Thanks for the Great Launcher! At first, when i flashed ICS I was a little disappointed by Trebuchet but then i get happy with NOVA. NOVA is good too, but by this time i prefer Apex, not only because its free ;-) I cant really understand why the NOVA is "more popular" or "more in the News" like your´s...

But there is one thing, the NOVA is better than the APEX. The NOVA Launcher can simply ask for root and the Widget Drawer is full functional, no need of installing as system App. Is it planned to add this Feature to the Apex?
[Android Apps and Games] roier75:
So is this a ROM build issue? should I mention this in Resurrection Remix thread?
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:

[Android Apps and Games] dyetheskin:

A small annoyance: When you put a folder ontop of screen (where "remove" button is) and long-hold the folder, "remove"-button appears below it. If you try to select something from the menu (that appeared after long-press), you've got to release the folder and it's removed.. This is fixed with links by not showing the "remove"-button.

This is a great launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] pdhx:
I've been using Nova for a while now and I done a lot of work getting it set up exactly the way I want. There are however some things in Apex that look attractive and in the little testing I've done it looks good. However, I really don't like the idea of going though all that customization with yet another launcher.

Soooo, I saw a feature request for being able to import from the Nova backup and I've up voted that feature request. I'm basically posting here to see if others would be interested in piling on... (Please)
[Android Apps and Games] prdog1:
If your rooted you may be able to restore most of your homescreen from restore data only in recovery. That is how I restore what Apex doesn't. Worth a try just make nandroid of your setup first. Not sure what it will do coming from Nova but it is only a data image.
