i was told days ago via email this would be sorted very fast, as i paid for the app due to the layout and the search bar being something i like (in it's original format) I do not like people deciding on my behalf that i now have to like something else.
[Android Apps and Games] mekanismen:
So change the image yourself, how hard is it?
[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
Maybe so but until you start coding up your own launcher you really have to either like it or be patient just because you paid for it doesn't mean it becomes your personal launcher for all you know a thousand other people may have said they love the new look and your the only one who does not.

Other than that I suggest that you get titanium backup and start backing up each app before you update them
[Android Apps and Games] sho0om:
i think the launcher makes the battery drain faster

right ?
[Android Apps and Games] ximmox:
How about you contract a dev to build a launcher exclusively to your likings then?

Oh wait, that's more than 3 bucks? Too bad...

Please people, stop that whining!

And buy the app to reward the developer, not to take them hostage for features you'd like to have asap.

Random icons reordering

Does anybody has problem with random icons reordering in folders? Last version of Apex and Samsung Galaxy S III.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I believe there is an option on how the folders sort, it's probably defaulted to sort by usage. Change it to one of the other two options (I believe the other two options are either alphabetical or as arranged)

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon Wireless. I installed the Apex launcher today and it is great.

I think I may have found one bug. The owner information no longer shows up on the lock screen.

I have the box checked for it in Settings --> Security --> Owner information and it still shows up with Touch Wiz.

In Apex I've unchecked and then checked it again but that didn't do anything.

I've also tried different themes/fonts without any luck.

Is there any way to get it to show up again while using Apex?

Thanks.

I prefer the developer to keep improving the launcher, rather than constantly responding in the thread. They probably have a life outside of development/xda. This is an amazing launcher, and it's constantly being improved.

I get this a lot, swiping up takes me to the next screen...
[Android Apps and Games] mulletcutter:
U have to swipe up, not at an angle, my gestures work fine. Up for recent apps and down for status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] wwevo:
Not if a screen change is still in progress. If for example you swipe right and then down before the transition is completely finished, you'll end up changing screens again. At least that's how apex is behaving on my s3.

Hi,

one question. I am using Apex124 with jellybean-theme.

Can i modify the appearance of the google search bar on the homescreen.

Now it is with cloudy background and i would like to have with the white frame and full tranperancy (like on the first post in this threat)

Can i modify that ?

Thanks for answers !

Custom Icon in Folder

Hi all,

Quick question (I've not been able to find someone asking this already) if I may:

Are custom icons on shortcuts in folders on the homescreens (when the folder is closed) s'posed to be shown?

If I expand a folder that contains a custom icon on a shortcut (to an app) it shows, if the folder is closed (i.e. you see multiple icons in the single 1x1 block) it still shows the default icon of the shortcut.

Is this a limitation of stock ICS launcher or Apex launcher?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

p.s. I'm running Apex Pro 1.2.4 on SGS3

Update: I found out why it wasn't showing the custom icon - they were cached. Changing the layout of the icons from one style to another refreshed the icon cache and the custom icons were displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] Romu313:
Hi

Sorry for my english, google translation is who cares :D

I like to know how do you remove the search bar so JellyBean and return the old, or if it can change the icon that corresponds with the one before??

According to some posts earlier you can change it back with ne next version of apex

sorry if i missed it somewhere... is there a way to center a wallpaper when i have just one homepage? i crop it correctly but it always shows the wallpaper starting from the right instead of the center where i crop it!! tyia
[Android Apps and Games] Anrikus:
I had this once, when the wallpaper mode was still set to scrolling.

setting it to non-scrolling helped and did not reouccure even if I set the wallpaper mode back to scrolling.

[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
thanks that worked perfectly!!

2nd question that i thought of as i was setting that wallpaper thing... is there a way to set different wallpapers on each homescreen page?
[Android Apps and Games] LNJ:
At first I didn't like the semi-transparent search bar. Then I kinda got used to it. I picked up a GNex yesterday and flashed latest JB release and have to say that the new search bar looks like it just belong there. Only problem is that the microphone icon at the end of the bar has been replaced with Google in small text on JB rom.

When you make save all widget of screens please can you think on the method for this. Please please.
[Android Apps and Games] gcogger:
I've tried putting 32 apps in a folder on my home screen, and the lag is really bad. I tried the same in Nova launcher for comparison, and it's nice and smooth. Since I use folders a lot, and some of them contain many apps, this is stopping me from using Apex at the moment.

Any chance of getting the option to scale the icons like in ADW?
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
on the overlapping widgets, can we get an option like Nova Launcher to "send to back"?? i have widgets that overlap some icon folders... i can select the folders no problem... but i can't add apps to that folder b/c the widget is sitting on top of it... i hope that makes sense lol...
[Android Apps and Games] Anrikus:
It seems there is a priority system with the overlapping of widgets / folder / apps.

the widget / folder that was set up first will be behind a newer one.

resize the widget, create a new folder, expand the widget again.

but I would prefer a "send to back" option too ^^
[Android Apps and Games] willl03:
Apex is going to be updated using JB launcher as source or ICS will be kept as base?

Apex used to be my fav launcher on ICS but the stock JB launcher takes smoothness to another level!! Impossible to make it lag / micro stutter, so I'm using stock JB right now but I miss the customisability of apex

I know that nova will be rebuilt using JB source, really hope that Apex will be too, always felt lime the leaner, cleaner one to me

DPI

The only one think that stops me from using apex on my Galaxy Note running CM9 alpha is that it crashes on custom DPIs, so I have to use stock ones (160, 240 or 320) and I'm using 213 as that is the kast dpi before the tablet mode turns into phone mode..

I hope this would be supported in coming versions and I will be extremly thankful..

After setting up a swipe up gesture, I decided I didn't care for it so I changed it back to "do nothing" and now I can't interact with half my Widgets. It seems to think I'm swiping to the next desktop. Previously I'd have this same issue if I locked the desktop. Very frustrating.

This bug comes from the stock ICS launcher code and has been fixed in the JB launcher, so expect a fix in a future update.

Apex will be rebuilt based on the JB launcher.

I do monitor this thread but just don't get enough time to respond as much.

We are working on it. There are quite some changes in the JB launcher, so it'll take some time to rebuild Apex based on the JB launcher. Anyways, stay tuned!

Do you use any third-party SMS/MMS apps like GoSMS? Those may affect the way SMS notifications work in Apex.

That's exactly the reason. Without the Google Search app, you just can't perform a search, so the search buttons are hidden.

Based on user feedback, we separated the preview and homescreen management UIs. As of the latest version, you can launch screen management either from Apex settings (Settings > Homescreen settings > Manage screens) or from Apex menu.

It seems if I add the Google+ widget, Apex freezes and the only way to fix it is to clear data of Apex(force closing it lets you use it a split second, then it freezes again). It's weird because it worked fine for weeks(using Google+ widget), but suddenly it froze. I cleared data and started setting up my home screen again. When I added the Google+ widget, it froze again.

I'm not really sure, but I think it's the G+ widget. Here's a logcat of force closing Apex, then opening it again in the frozen state: http://pastebin.com/ax8jvwdJ
