The problem is that I want 160 dpi.. I also use dorimanx. I try force gpu. No diference.. I know that I have a difficult setup. I use 20 diferend widget on screen. But I think that is something that the developer can solve.

I switch betwin pages and scroll very smooth.. Then if I open an application (even a small one, eg calculator) and close it, then by switching fast betwin pages it get stuck, it is not smooth. After switch all pages it goes smooth again untill I open any other application again.. I dont know if I describe it well.. Perhaps it helps the developer understud the problem and solve it..

Thanks,

What I miss from Apex is the Cube effect from Gingerbread launcher also called Waterfall by the GO launcher. Is this doable somehow?

Widgets not updating

The last couple days my widgets stop updating after some time (HD widgets,Beweather,etc..). Could this be caused by the launcher? The only new items i've installed recently has been the latest Apex beta as well as some live wallpapers, but i uninstalled the live wallpapers. Anyone having similar issues with the latest version of Apex? I'm not sure what else it could be.

Thanks.

m pretty noob when it comes to launchers and here is my scenario

s3, leaked jb, rooted,

i have installed apex launcher and seem to love it, havent made it my default launcher yet, so everytime i hit home, it asks me if touchwiz or apex and obviousli i choose apex, so thinkin of setting apex as my default to get rid of the nag.

however my questions are,

1. suppose after a week i get fedup of apex and choose to go back with stock(touchwiz) how do i do that.

2. also while having apex as the default, if i uninstall apex, will it revert back to touchwiz or will the phone crash, the reason i am asking is, previously i had samsung ace plus, and entered this scenario with golauncher anad touchwiz and ended up crashin my fone, had to give it for firmware recovery. dnt wana burn myself again.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Launchers should not brick phones lol. I used Go Launcher without any issues before switching to Apex.

Now your questions.

1) Few ways to do this:

* Apex settings >> Advanced settings >> Set default launcher, or

* System settings >> Apps. If Apex was set as default, select Apex app from the app list, Clear defaults. Similarly, if Touchwiz was set as default, select it and clear defaults, or

* Install this app and change Launcher default:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager

2) when you uninstall Apex, the system should fall back to Touchwiz.

[Android Apps and Games] arnabasu:
thanks for your response, yeah i understand launchers SHOULD not brick phones. but in my case, i was dafulted on golauncher, and i uninstalled it, returned to d home screen(touchwiz) but half of the icons gone, no widgets/icons work, fone can be restarted and i can recieve calls, but thast all, nothin used to work, ultimately a FW flash helped... wonder why :(

in your reply 1. "clear defaults" i think thast what i was missing.

regarding 2. your keyword is SHOULD... unfortunately didnt work for me earlier, but now i think m ready to face the demons of launchers.LoL

thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Touchwiz, Apex, any launcher keeps their own desktop data. This is why the icons, widgets you set up in Go Launcher did not appear in Touchwiz (I'm assuming this is the case you were experiencing).

Did you have other launcher installed? What happened when you click the Home key (hardware or soft key) after you uninstalled Apex or other custom launcher ? The app in my reply should help you easily change default apps for specific actions.

[Android Apps and Games] arnabasu:
i agree to wot u said in section 1, but my desktopscreen was frozen, thou it shows up as it was wen i had touchwiz defaulted, but clickin on icons dsnt do anything

for section 2, i had golauncher as default, and touchwiz, thats all, after i unistalled Golauncher, the issue started, was not aware of this forum or any apps, so gave it for a flash, this time i m more confident thou, thanks to u.

so it seems, that if u have a launcher on default and without changing the settings u uninstall it, there is a chance of getiing locked out, or so i think. thou that should not be the case, anyhow, that was then, now am better off, thanks again

Has anyone else noticed that the landscape layout is kind of messy in the last few versions? I'm assuming it was the fix to not hide icon labels (I actually liked that it hid the labels in landscape). After the change I have widgets overlapping icons (regardless of whether overlapping is enabled in settings) and everything just looks much more crammed together.

I just switched over from Nova to your Apex Launcher PRO version, I was having pretty bad lagging issues with the other launcher. I have sent thru pretty much all of the Apex setttings & menus, setup my homescreens the way I want & the theme colors & icons. I have just a couple of questions/requests for you.....#1: could you create an option for us to change the Color of the Notification bubbles? for SMS, Calls & Gmail? I did not see anyway to change that Red icon color for the notifications & it would be very helpful if we could change it to match our themes we are using. and #2: for my homescreen setup I use a larger grid size of around 10 x 9, and once I change the Grid size that I want, Apex CUTS off the sides & edges of any icons I have on my homescreens. In the other launchers we could RESIZE the icons or folder icons to fit our Grid sizes, but I can't find a way to do this in Apex to keep it from cutting off my icons. It would be more helpful if when we change our Grid sizes, that Apex would resize our icons to actually FIT the grid size. or allow us to resize our icons..Thank you for your terrific launcher app and I hope that you will consider these modifications.
[Android Apps and Games] codolio:
Here's an odd issue I've run into recently.

Non-pro version of Apex. Stock 4.2 jellybean on a gsm galaxy nexus.

1) Open up multiple apps

2) Switch from one to another with the multitasking button

3) Close the app you switched to using the back button, or by closing all tabs in the browser (for instance)

The result is that one goes back to the multitasking interface, often with no app previews showing (just a shaded wallpaper). This behavior appears to be common to Apex, Nova and Holo launcher, but not the stock 4.2 launcher. I can't recall if it happened before the 4.2 upgrade, so I don't know if something changed there to cause this.

The behavior of the stock launcher in this situation is to put you on the home screen, I believe (rather than, say, going back to the app that was switched from). Going back to the task switcher wouldn't be too bad, except it often ends up being a blank screen for some reason.

Cheers.

Home Key bug? others seeing this new-ish behavior with 1.3.5?

I've casually noticed problems related to the 'home key' casually over time on this and other threads...but nothing this specific over multiple threads.

Seems like there 'used' to be some problems in the past, but not now?... not sure....

So, here's my problem:

I'm running a rooted stock Samsung Galaxy S3. with JB 4.1.1 (Sprint)

I'm running Apex 1.3.5 presently

The following issue is when Settings->Behavior->Home Key Action-> has been set to 'Do nothing' AND 'Home key to default screen' is 'unchecked'

The issue I have is that, when coming from a 'screen off'/standby mode (black screen), and pressing the home key on my device, whatever app was open, is now minimized and Apex brings me to whatever home screen I was on last.

I have in my head that this was not the case in the past. I might be imagining things, but I thought that pressing my home key from an 'off/standby' scenario, would just wake up the device, and bring me to where I was last. In other words, if my gmail was open when pressing the power button, then pressing the home key would wake up the device...screen on....gmail in my face.

Presently, my device does this under 2 out of 3 scenarios:

1) SUCCESS When pressing the power button to turn the device to 'standby' (screen off), then pressing the power button again soon (before screen lock), shows the same app open I have open before (without minimizing it)

2) SUCCESS When pressing the power button to turn the device to 'standby' (screen off), then waiting long enough for my lock screen to engage, then pressing the home key, unlocking via my unlock screen, then it shows the same app I had open before (without minimizing it)

3) FAILURE When pressing the power button to turn the device to 'standby' (screen off), then pressing the home key button again soon (before screen lock), minimizes the app I had open, and goes directly to the last home screen I was on. (I'm under the impression, this 3rd entry never used to happen until I was on 1.3.5)

Should I be seeing this third failure with Apex?

I'm under the impression it did not used to behave this way.

I have tried uninstalling 1.3.5, and re-installing, clearing data/cache/defaults, etc

Is this a known issue?

Others seeing this?

Fix?

I hate to say this, but seeing as how Primo is no longer a thing, is there any way to get Apex to the level of smoothness that Primo was running at?

I loved Apex up until I started using Primo. Since it is said to be a modified version of Apex, it would seem that it should be capable of running as smoothly.

A question:

Is it possible to add an option for the Tablet layout so the app drawer icon in the top right corner won't make the icon grid to move down leaving useless empty space on top of the screen? Right now the only way to make that space useable is to disable the "search bar" but that also takes away the button. In short: i like the button, hate the empty space. This is my main problem with the 1.3.x edition of Apex Launcher, it wasn't there with the last 1.2.5 one.

Best fix is remove your Google acct from the device, then add it back right away. The error is because your account is out of sync.

Yep and primo dl links here on xda are removed because of copyright infringement.

So stop the discussion about the primo crap.

Thats what apex dev said about primo:

“Everyone, please do not be fooled by this developer or his application!

Primo Launcher is a stolen product!

I am the developer of Apex Launcher. I noticed this application, Primo Launcher, was published recently, with all the features of Apex Launcher (and Apex Launcher Pro) for free. Competition is good and encourages innovation. But I was shocked by the striking resemblance to Apex Launcher, which led me to investigate this application. I soon came to realize that Primo Launcher is a re-engineered and modified version of Apex Launcher. What the developer did was simply reverse-engineering the APK of Apex Launcher, modifying the package name and application name to rebrand it, replacing some image and string resources, tweaking the layout of preferences, and finally publishing it as his/her own application. This explains why features from Primo Launcher form a strict subset of Apex Launcher, with minor tweaks and random hiccups here and there. Although the developer promises his application is and will stay free, he is still taking donations (from the preference menus) to benefit from other people's work.

This is blatant, shameless plagiarism. I tried to communicate with the developer a few times during the past week, and he/she was unwilling to acknowledge this situation and kept on the infringing behavior, which forced me to go public and expose his/her unethical behavior. I appreciate those, including Kevin from Teslacoil (developer of Nova Launcher) for reporting this application to us, and I hope wissowisso can stop the offensive behavior immediately."
