For me, Gmail unread counts on icon are not working on my Nexus 4 (and 7). Tried lots of things to fix. No dice. Unread counts do work on Holo launcher. Based on searching this thread, it happens to others. Haven't seen/found any solutions that work. Also starting to see signs of lag . I left Apex Pro for Holo (paid) before because of lag issues before on other devices. Lag seems to be appearing on my Nexus 4. I really like this launcher but...Sorry, gotta go. Great launcher, but seems that support is lacking.
[Android Apps and Games] VaksenDK:
Including moving it to system/app/ and setting the permissions right?
[Android Apps and Games] jayyo:
Yes, tried that. Also tried using the patched 4.3.1 Gmail apk found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17747758

unknown error code during application installation: "-24"

Hi

Coming from a clean Android Revolution 30.5 (4.2.1) rom installation

(format internal_sd, factory reset, clear user cache, dalvik cache)

Apex 1.4.4 installs ok

but I get an "unknown error code during application installation: "-24" while trying to apply the pro patch/key.

Searched this forum and cleared play store cache, restarted, tried to reinstall and ended up with the same issue.

Can anyone help please?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] chrone:
guess you have to delete the application from /data/app and look for the apex launcher and the pro apk and delete them then reinstall again from gplay.
[Android Apps and Games] djsubtronic:
I couldn't find this anywhere else, but I frequently have an issue where the home screen transition animation reverts momentarily back to a regular left/right swipe. Eg I keep the transition animation as "Cross", but sometimes, at least once or twice a day, if I swipe left or right the animation starts off as the default ie "none". Then halfway through the wipe it will remember it should be Cross and ends up abrupty at whatever point of the Cross animation it would be at.

I notice this more often when the launcher has been inactive for a while, but I have not been able to duplicate it on command. It does happen quite frequently though. Anybody else notice?
[Android Apps and Games] freak4dell:
I was messing around with some themes, and when I decided I didn't like them, I went back to the default theme. Now my navigation bar is transparent in the homescreen. That would be fine, but lags on changing when I open an app or the drawer, and it's bugging me because it looks bad. I can't find anything in the Apex settings that sounds like it would be for this. Help?
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
have you tried rebooting and see if that helps with the lags.

I've just installed Apex 2.0 beta1 and so far it is working great.

Only one thing. Is it possible to move battery notification to any icon.

For example I've added a shortcut from Shortcuts > Settings-> Power which opens standard Power management screen. Is it possible to attache battery indicator to that icon? For now Apex can only attach notification number to actual app shortcuts.

Thank you Denis!

How can you create folders in app drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
I cannot reproduce this issue on my end. What's your device/ROM/system version?

Will consider this feature in the future.

In Apex Launcher Pro, open the app drawer, then Menu > Create folder. The folder will be created under the current drawer tab.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Maybe a future version can have folders that look like this when they open?
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:

[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:

[Android Apps and Games] wowser21:
Wish you could add apps to folders in the drawer by just dragging the app.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
This is indeed a bug. Will be fixed in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] Mk.Xal:
Just noticed a very annoying bug with folder in drawer.

Step to reproduce :

- Create more than one tab in the drawer

- On one of the tab, create a folder and set that the apps you have added are hidden in the drawer

- Edit the drawer and remove the tab that contains the folder

- The apps in the folder are not displayed anymore in any tabs

The only way to be able to access these apps is by reseting the entier apex config or backing up apex settings, remove all content of the DrawerGroups.bak file and import config.
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
And how would you create App shortcut on the Homescreen then ? :silly:

Does the new Play Store change effect how you deliver updates (specifically for beta)? For those that don't know I'm talking about 4.0.27, they now required apps to update through the Play Store not from within the app.
[Android Apps and Games] mchu6am4:
I don't see an option for new folder?
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
I applied a new theme and restarted Apex, then the option to create folder showed. Maybe just restarting it would work. Good start for folders in drawer. Still needs work such as sorting folders by name, subfolders...

[Android Apps and Games] jophil2412:
The most important thing is an option to make folders only use the space underneath the tabs. In my opinion the current behavior is not optimal since it is, even on a 4 inch screen, hard to select the upper icons in the folder when using the phone with only one hand.

[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
You need bigger hand :).. kidding aside, I see your point, it's hard to reach up to the upper corners. Maybe an expanded folder should center on the screen.

You can expect a fix in the next version.

For those who cannot see the "Create folder" option, please use this workaround and wait for a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] wowser21:
You could simply workaround this by having the ability to put the drawer in "Edit" mode and then you could drag and drop apps into different folders making organization very simple.

Its too bad they don't open up in the drawer like the normal drawer displays its icons. Its a nice addition. Its winning the war it has with adw ex and nova prime on my phone.

Hello, I was thinking about a feature that would be a gesture to open a folder or menu with apps, for example double tap desktop to see the hidden apps or a folder. I found a similar functionality to that one on espier launcher, where you can open a hidden menu to see the apps by separating the screen in half but of course, why would I use an iOS like launcher :eek:

I like to hide the apps I don’t commonly use e.g. flash player settings, downloads, sim toolkit… but them when I want to open one I have to use titanium because google now search apps when it feels like doing it, I know more than one person would find this feature useful.

1.The ability to change skins color to any color we choose
