Added vibration duration option

Minor bug fixes

Download from Google Play

Apex Notifier is also on Google Play. Get it now.
[Android Apps and Games] Hereisphilly:
First time trying apex, I'm on my nexus 10 and its great, really smooth, good performance!

One thing I'm not sure on, is it possible to condense the icon spacing in the dock, but not reduce the size of the top menu bar?

Basically I would like menu to have a horizontal margin of zero (see attachment), but the actual dock apps to have a horizontal margin of medium. I want to get the dock looking as close to stock as possible

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] plaidcounty:
First off, thanks for keeping your launcher impressive! Second, thanks for the new Apex Notifier app!

Lastly, I wanted to help you out with a logcat of a problem I encountered with the Google Voice shortcut being placed on the dock after linking Google Voice through your new Apex Notifier app. As expected it shows a badge for how many unread messages I have but when the launcher refreshes it replaces the shortcut with another shortcut that I have on the dock.

So, without further ado... here's the logcat. Hope it helps!:D

I can't install it, I've removed OLD Apex Launcher (1.4.4) and the new version won't install :( Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] king.larry:
The new Apex-Launcher ist (nearly) perfect, but i could not access the Statusbar-Pulldown-menu by pressing on the clock on my Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.1.2. It has worked with the beta-version :(

... O.K. ... after writing this text, it's woking ... :)

Samsung Email

Great new features on APEX 2.0 :good:

I'v got only one little problem with dashcloch extension with samsung email

when I click on a new mail notification, it brings me to....... Gmail

Thanks in advance to find a fix and it would be the best (only ?) alternative to Touchwizz
[Android Apps and Games] 91franz:
I love this app.. It is the only launcher I use :) the only missing thing is the Facebook and whatsapp notification for the apex notifier.. Is there any chance you will add it?
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
No option to check for stable AND beta releases?
[Android Apps and Games] omnomnomkimiiee:
Stable will always be announced on play store, so no use imo.

[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Except if you saw the article I posted here a few days back, at some point in the future, any apk installed outside of the store can't be updated through the store anymore, and vice-versa.
[Android Apps and Games] omnomnomkimiiee:
True, but in the meantime that's how it is.

A good question though, I wonder how they'll bypass that.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Well I just updated to the stable release without the store, so having the option I mentioned above would be great, and I believe it was an option in previous releases. Seems Facebook is to blame for the situation in the article.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
I'll fix it in the next version.

I posted a tip a few pages back. Go to Apex settings > About Apex Launcher (Pro), and keep hitting the version number.
[Android Apps and Games] hanschke:
I need a manual how to set folder on app drawer. I cannot find it or is this pro only?
[Android Apps and Games] Flyingboy:
Thanks a lot Dennis :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
You need the pro version to create folders in the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] sadonlyone:
it is possible for further updates to get full (notification bar) background color on other roms than stock (like cm10.1 rom) ?
[Android Apps and Games] moomingstarz:
I have the pro version, but I don't see the option to make a folder anywhere! Could you post a screenshot of how to get there/where it is?

I checked the "manage apps" in drawer settings but nada. :(:(:(
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Inside the app drawer, tap the menu key/icon and select "Create folder". Also, make sure you are in one of the app tabs, not the widget tab.
[Android Apps and Games] moomingstarz:
Thank you. I changed that little menu icon to the play store, I didn't think it would be in there but sure enough it is. :victory::victory::highfive::good:
[Android Apps and Games] Simone:
Hi,

I got lost.

I created a new and seperate drawer for my games which I successfully did.

My problem now is, those games still are visible on the default app drawer.

How can I isolate those icons of the games to my game drawer only?
[Android Apps and Games] corrob:
Folders in drawer don't work with the vertical list option.
[Android Apps and Games] akarol:
For some reason, all my widgets are overlapping when in landscape mode. I have both the portrait and landscape grid sizes set to 5 Columns and 6 Rows on my GS3. It works flawlessly in both orientations using Nova Launcher. This issue alone is keeping me from switching from Nova completely.
[Android Apps and Games] sparkdroid:
Before the most recent update, I could customize the quick menu that pops up when you double tap the home screen. I still have "manage drawer" as shown and it doesn't show up anymore. It is a lot of work to go into apex settings > Drawer > Manage Drawer when it used to be easily available from the desktop.

What gives?
[Android Apps and Games] gaz41:
I just create another "apps" drawer and put there all my other applications. So you can have your apps and games drawer. But every time you install a new app you have to manually add it to a drawer... A little frustrating, but it works!

I purchased Pro yesterday but aside from the payment confirmation, I didn't get any link/code to upgrade to pro.

Can somebody verify how long this normally takes?

Thanks anyway. I would like to hear from the DEV though. I mailed, sent the payment details...but nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] laztpn0i:
This has been my favorite launcher by far. And now coupled with customizeable Apex Notifier. It's simply awsome! Although one thing I would like to see changed, is the minimum scrolling time in the home screen settings to 1, 2, 3.... Instead of 10, 20, 30.... On my Note 2, even setting it to 10. It's just too fast.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I have the same problem as you have. Bought through PayPal, confirmed by PayPal. No confirmation by the Dev, no instructions through email from the Dev, no response to emails sent to the Dev either.

I have a feeling he doesn't really check his email or PayPal account. I guess we'll have to wait. :)

I have an issue. sorry if its been mentioned before but I'm sure its unique.

Just installed Apex to /system/app, configured my homescreens, THEN I changed the settings to mimic the stock launcher.

Long press home for wallpaper and market icon in the drawer.

That effectively removes anyway to get to Apex settings.

Whoops moment?

Launcher is great. Smooth, snappy ans tablet transition with drawer transparency!
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
Open the app drawer and press the menu button. Apex settings will appear there.

What ROM are you on?
[Android Apps and Games] RickROM:
What method are you using to toggle previews? I had this problem when I was toggling previews via swipe actions, but I no longer have the issue when it is set to launch previews by the pressing the home button.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
If you don't have a hard menu button though, you've got problems. The first thing I can think of is temporarily installing a mod to give you a permanent menu button, and making use of that.

Also, what widgets are you using and can you post a logcat for the dev to look through.

Since not many people have reported this issue, I'm inclined to think it's some kind of issue between Apex and a particular widget. Can you re-add your widgets one at a time and see if there's any widget in particular which makes it break?
[Android Apps and Games] fr4nk1yn:
That's the rub. There is no menu. The menu was where the market icon is.
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
Longpress the homescreen and select Apex Actions then select apex settings.

I quoted you to expand on your answers, not in order to speak to you.
[Android Apps and Games] fr4nk1yn:
That's good because I missed it. That is what I'll do. I have AOKP installed.

I changed long home long press so its the same as stock, only wallpaper shows.

I just thought it was interesting Apex let's you get into that situation.

Missing apps button <- Solved: clear data

I am using Nexus One with Medroid v6.1 ICS ROM and after updated Apex Launcher to v.05 the middle button to apps is missing (see attached picture). I had installed the old and installed the latest version. Do you know why? Could you let me know the problem? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
Long press the screen, select apex actions and select app drawer. Then drag it to the empty middle space on the dock.
[Android Apps and Games] taodan:
That was easy :) Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
So, I just wiped dalvik and rebooted and Apex went back to stock. Luckily I had a backup and only had to restore my widgets. Just a heads up to make backups.
[Android Apps and Games] dw9906:
I was having the same kinda issues. Kept having to redo the widgets and stuff. The last straw was when i did a reboot and the launcher went completely back to stock. I gave up and just went and bought nova prime. Too bad because i really liked apex. I may come back when it gets out of beta and becomes stable.
[Android Apps and Games] howetechnical:
Really bummed that updating Apex removes all widgets. Backups are good and all, but what good are they if they don't restore your widgets? All five screens of mine are widgets...only a couple of normal icons. About 7 image frames along with 10+ other widgets.

Bummed.
[Android Apps and Games] rel1215:
Could you bring back the preview animation from .2 or.3? It was so much smoother than any of the options in the current release. Switching to a different screen from that view looks like a step back from previous releases. Otherwise, love the added features throughout. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] prking07:

[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
For those who purchased the pro version via Paypal, you should receive an email immediately after your payment clears. If you don't see it, please check your spam folder. It may have ended up there. We do check emails but there are too many to process. You can PM me your Paypal transaction ID for faster support.

Please check the menu options inside the drawer. It is also available via Apex settings > Drawer settings > Manage drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...manage drawer doesn't appear on the home screen when you press menu button.....it's appear on the drawer but not on the home screen....

yes i already tick the manage drawer in option :D
[Android Apps and Games] :
PM sent.

Like I mentioned before ; there's nothing in the spam folder. It seems that the system isn't (always) working properly. I do understand that a lot of email is never fun to go through. Not responding to email is never a good idea, especially when you offer it to paying customers as a way to get issues resolved. Keep in mind that not every (potential) customer is an active XDA member. You simply can't expect the average PayPal buyer to pay for your product, and then have them spend hours/days trying to figure out how to get the product he or she paid for.

Creating a close to perfect product (which Apex is in my opinion) is only part of the job. Once you "sell" a product, there are a few more things to take into consideration such as customer support and financial responsibility.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Please check your PM for the license key.

I understand your frustration of not getting the license key after purchasing it. Yes, the system does not work 100% of the time, and it is indeed a server issue in your case (which is not common). However, most of the time, the system works but the email somehow ends up in the spam folder. That's why I suggested looking there. We are not ignoring emails, but we may not be able to respond to all of them in time with limited time and resources. I offered to help through PM since you are here on XDA, but that's definitely not the only way to get support. Sorry about the delay and inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] Galcactus:
I've had the pro version for while now but I have recently found that even when selecting "no margin" for widgets, there is a still a gap, both between the edge of the screen and the widgets, as well as at the top and bottom of the screen and widgets. Also there's a gap between the screens, regardless of the animation chosen. It's rather annoying when making a theme that looks like it overlaps the screens. Anybody else had this?
[Android Apps and Games] ernestnwanu:
I bought the code to unlock the pro features via Paypal. It was working fine but now it's no longer valid? Why is that? I sent an email but got ignored...
[Android Apps and Games] :
There's no rush and no frustration involved for me (I already explained that in the PM). I just thought that a failing system and no response regarding emails concerning problems, would not be the best marketing strategy out there.

For me personally it doesn't matter one bit. I don't really use the Pro-features. I just figured I owed you a "donation" since I've been using Apex for quite a while, without any big issues.

It'd be nice if you could add the clock options Nova has:

It is not a standard Android feature. There is no public API to make the status bar transparent. That's why it does not work on Nexus devices.

Must say I love the launcher a lot and it'll take a whole lot to make me want to change from it :p

But I'm having a "small" issue with widgets.

So I have several widgets (including my mails and N7player etc..) and every now and again they resize to way outside the current screen.

Is this a known issue and anyone have any idea how to permanently fix it?

PS: I have found a way to temporarily fix it which is holding tap on the widget so that "remove" / "resize" / "app info" & "share" become visible. When I release the widget takes his pre-defined size again and it's all fine (temporarily that is...)
