You could try using an Apex theme to get blue back (I know this isn't ICS blue).

Or if you're using AOSP, applying a system theme should also affect Apex.

Reset / Clear per-icon settings?

Is there an easy way to clear the per-icon settings in Apex, so that the icons go back to their default behaviour when applying new themes?

With some themes that do not have good app coverage, and you end up customising a lot of icons, you then seem to be left with the chore of forever having to re-customise those same icons no matter what theme you apply in the future. Being able to "clear" the customisation globally or even on a per-icon basis, so that icons adopt a new theme icon if available would be a real benefit I think. Simply setting them back to the default icon sticks that setting "forever" so isn't the right solution.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
A person over on the nova forum was asking the same question. So you want to be able to reset all the icons you manually changed all at one strock? I'm thinking backup either with 3rd party app or apex's backup function. Each time you need to clear all the icons just restore the desktop you have before.

[Android Apps and Games] f4780y:
Yes, the ability to re-set all of the icons which you have individually customised back to their default configuration - i.e. a state where they will accept a new theme when applied.

The problem with using a backup is of course that your homescreens (or at least my homescreens) change whilst a theme is applied, and so it will be time consuming to keep a stock backup where no icons are customised at all, as well as a current backup with customisations, both in sync all the time. The workflow would be quite challenging!

The cleanest route for me personally would be a simple "reset all icon customisations back to default".

An fix could be that using the "Edit > Icon > Use default icon" feature was changed to actually re-set to the default setting, rather than the current behaviour which is forcing the default stock icon to remain on no matter what theme you apply in the future.

icon dimension setup

to set icon dimension we have:

0-150% in advanced settings

0-100% in home screen settings

0-100% in dock settings

0-100% in drawer settings

I suggest to delete 0-150% in advanced setting and modify to 0-150% in each submenu...

Unable to choose Launcher "always"

So, I'm fairly certain this isn't a fault with Apex Launcher, but I figured someone in this thread would know what to do.

Whenever I hit the home button from with-in an app, android asks me how I'd like to complete the action "Apex Launcher" or "TouchWiz Home", I choose Apex Launcher AND choose "Always"... but for some reason it continues to ask this every time as if I hit "Just Once"... I have cleared the default app settings a few times to see if that helps, it doesn't appear to. Also, I have of course gone into the advanced setting in apex launcher and set it as the default there. What could I be doing wrong.

This started after my 1 year old was randomly holding and pressing the screen. I'm sure that something was pressed to make it work this way, I just don't know how to undo it. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

My device is mentioned below my avatar. The resolution of my screenshot is surely not from a HTC Sensation. I didn't mention anything further, because I'm running stock KK, except the Kernel.

Option is called "menu key long press action" on apex settings.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
That's what I was try to tell you, apex can't set the home key. As for the menu key, there are some predefined choices you can select in Apex menu. BTW, home key is the icon that looks like a house and menu key is 4 horizontal lines stacked to together, just incase you're having problems. In your 'ss', usually under the 'interface' category, you should be able to customize there home key. If you don't have that option, you can always use the 3 rd party app like 'home smack'.; -)

I am on v2.4 and find that it is MUCH smoother as compared to previous versions. This is the hot word update version I'm referring to.

Previously it used to lag BADLY on certain or most live wallpapers. Now, I see no issue at all. Honestly, it's performance is 98% working with live wallpapers. On standard still wallpapers, there was never an issue. THIS IS ON MY STOCK KK LG G2. AWESOME DEVICE BTW. LOL.

I found Galaxy devices the most incompatible or temperamental. The problem is that there are easily more galaxy owners than any other OEM. My Note II just lags when enabling 'alpha' transition. Gonna report back after I install v2.4.

So if anyone is being affected by a higher battery drain and isnt using the system language in english try this out.

As for me, I am using 2.4, and transparenting my status bar using my rom, but the option is there, I just can't use it.

I have direct downloaded your apk of the beta you posted here June 30th.

Is it possible for you to acknowledge a fix for the hot word detection? The playstore version seemed to work sometimes and often not. So I can't tell if it has been fixed in the beta as now it is working but possibly could fail later.

Has anyone else reported this? I think only one guy above mentioned it but assumes it is fixed.
