Anyone have anything to add?

For me, Apex works really well on MM. Slow notification animation is not a problem, actually I kind of like it. The only thing missing are the new animations.

I have note 4 stock. Right now i have the uk unbranded 5.1.1. Previously i had the greek 5.0.1 unbranded. In both roms i have a problem. When i change the advance setting of icon size from 100% to 125% the launcher crashes. But on cm12.1 nightly i have no such problem. Apex works like a charm. What's going on?

Funny issues with App drawer

Firstly, just want to say, am really loving Apex Launcher. I use it now on both my SG2 and my TF-101. Love the customisations and am still trying to figure out how to do various stuff.

Do have one small bug. Just recently upgraded to 0.7 beta on my TF-101 and the app drawer looks a bit weird (and it keeps on changing). As you can see from the attached, it seems that some apps are "overhanging" (don't exactly know that the technical term is).
[Android Apps and Games] Schrotty35:
I have problem with the latest Beta. The Widgets and Homescreen freeze whene i start a App and go back to the Homescreen. Restart or wipe not help.
[Android Apps and Games] Zelig:
Thank you Dennis, for the vertical app scrolling.

My phone feels slick to use again, not like a crappy piece of fruit.

One suggestion:

I am using Vertical Continuous. It makes sense that once I have reached the end of my apps list that it stops scrolling. It should stay like that.

However, if I am at the bottom of the list and swipe up again, rather than just flashing the indicator at the bottom of the page, I would like it to start scrolling the apps again - sort of like infinite scrolling, ie the top of my apps list scrolls up from the below the end of my app list. My apps would scroll up until I reach the end of my app list again and then it would stop until the next swipe.

If I am at the top of my app list and swipe down, then the end of my app list should appear at the top and start scrolling down until we are back to the top of my app list again when it should stop.

Should work the same at either the top or bottom of the app list.
[Android Apps and Games] browngeek:
Please see the above image. You will see that the widget is going over the app shortcut. Seems only to happen with Google apps and their Widgets.

Didn't see 0.7 was out then, still same result with clean install as system app :
[Android Apps and Games] subhani:
I too had premium Nova from before but I like to keep an open mind. So I always check on Apex regularly. Disappointing to see slowdown in development.

I still hold out some faith. 'System' animations are not working for opening apps from the home screens on Android 6 marshmallow. The animations are still the old Lollipop slide up animation.
[Android Apps and Games] Pozas:
First of all, thank you dev for this very nice launcher, I have been using it for more than a year and it's been working flawlessly all this time. However, I've noticed a small "bug" since two or three versions ago. Basically, when I power on the phone the screen appears to be like frozen (no matter which app I press to open, it will not respond). I need to press the Home button in order to somehow "refresh" and after that everything works perfect. Is there any way this can be solved? Thank you so much

Appears to be... I've moved to Nova now after several years using Apex, shame to see a good launcher slow down after many great updates.
[Android Apps and Games] mPiter:
It is bad for the lack of updates? I've used on 4.2 and it worked perfectly, I used to 4.4 and worked perfectly, I use to 5.x and 6 and it works perfectly. This further great launcher and the lack of updates does not make it bad ;)
[Android Apps and Games] MrKal_El:
Is it confirmed dead?

I love this launcher..still using it currently on all my devices with no issues
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
Is NOVA doing more updates than this launcher? Sometimes updates just means that the app is having issues. This launcher ran good on my device for the past few months, which was the last time I received the update. I also have NOVA launcher, which I really don't notice runs much different than this launcher. If you want to see a launcher with a dead development, check out adw ex, which I also have, and it's still consider as a popularly used launcher in the play store.

[Android Apps and Games] schwim:
I am on a Kindle Fire 5th gen, would like to use widgets and was wondering if someone could help me perform the modification of the apex launcher to a system app.

I followed a tutorial and used a script from RootJunkie to root the device, install the Play Store, stop the OTA updates and added the Apex launcher through the store when finished. I have read through the FAQ on the Apex site and see that I can either activate Root Helper or move the app to system/app. In my Apex advanced settings, Root Helper is greyed out stating that it's deprecated in JellyBean so it seems only moving the app will get me the widgets.

I'm not what you would call a superuser and I'm not sure how to perform this. How would I move the launcher to system/app? I don't see the apex launcher in system/priv-apps, so I'm not even sure where to move it from. Finally, I don't know what permissions need to be modified once moved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
The easiest way to move a file into the system directory is to us app such as titanium backup, and use convert to the system file function.
[Android Apps and Games] schwim:
Can I ask how long this process should take through TBP? I selected to move the launcher to a system app and it's been at the processing pinwheel for the last 5 minutes at least.
[Android Apps and Games] Shepguessed:
I would recommend being on a different launcher than the one you are trying to move.

[Android Apps and Games] HaHa Games:

[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
Sometimes it may looks like it's locked in the loop, so what you have to do is after about a few minutes (3 - 5 sound about right) reboot your device, and then check the file again. It should now be in the system directory.
[Android Apps and Games] schwim:
Thank you very much for all your help. It did indeed show as a system app on reboot but I was still unable to place a widget, so I moved over to the Google Now launcher, which allow them without issue.

Thanks again for your time!
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
Yea, I hate to say it, but apex runs buggy under cm12.1. My widgets and icons would often disappear, and I needed to restart the launcher so they would or wouldn't came back. I think I'm going to have to use Nova or smart launchers from now on. I wonder why apex stops updating, but apparently apex is not the only one, it seems next launcher is running buggy under lollipop and is not fixing the problem. What is up with these devs abandoning their apps?
[Android Apps and Games] rufik:
I use Apex from 4.2 to 5.1 and always was happy with it. Now I've upgraded my Moto X 2014 to 6.0 Marshmallow and got one issue: when using "swipe down - show quick settings" the animation is really slooooow (but it works). In 5.1 quick settings pulldown animation was as quick as by manual, now is slooooooow.

Could someone confirm/deny?
[Android Apps and Games] Shepguessed:
This is a known google bug. Nova has implemented a fix but as far as i know that is the only launcher right now without that problem.

[Android Apps and Games] sadonlyone:
unfortunately, this fabulous project seems to be dead. basic function are working on latest Androids, but most of notification functions, badges, widgets, folders etc are not responsive or not working at all, for some applications. thread should be closed. at least temporarily.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
But I'm not 5.1.1.

Has the fb lite notification ever been working?

TapaTalked from i9506
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
I think you can with tapa talk and Facebook, but don't take my words for it. Apex notification is pretty powerful when compares to other launcher's notification app. Apex notification can be use stand alone with other app such as lock screen widgets, battery app notification, etc. So what you need to do is just open the notification up by itself, go into the setting and play with it.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
I just read what they put in description in the play store. Fb and TapaTalk are not on the list of supported apps so the answer is no.

Shame they abandoned this project...

Thanks anyway.

[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
I don't know why I think that apex notifier includes Tapatalk and Facebook. I'm most be thinking of something else such as miss it app. But then again, not even nova notifier can do notification with those two apps. I guess you can do them if you have something like tasker and zooper, but that's a story for another time.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
Nova can get notifications from TT and FB but not directly. Nova takes it from notification bar. Therefore, the number of notifications is not exact.

Shame I don't like Nova. It's slower then Apex and can't be customised as much as Apex...

According to the Google store,

it's been June of last year since their last update. I won't call that abandon, especially there isn't anything that needs urgent update, except some complaints here and there. knowing their last update with the feeling lucky button debacle, it may take a bit longer before they update to something new. But if you're bored with this launcher I'll understand that. I'm a multi_launcher person myself, currently jumping back and forth between , Nova, apex, and smart 3. I Was using next 3d. If you want to see some abandoned launchers, check out next 3D and adw ex launchers.

How does this compare to Nova launcher? Does it have any features Nova lacks?
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:

TapaTalked from i9506
[Android Apps and Games] subhani:
It has one thing. A homescreen animation that is called crossfade I think or 'alpha'. My problem is that it hasn't yet introduced the most obvious Marshmallow animations that Nova has done. The icon theming options are limited for me because on Nova, I can hide a number of icons in folders for each them that I've manually changed behind a widget that is on my homescreen. Anytime I return to that theme, I open that folder from hidden and have my custom icons ready for use again.

Widget overlap is better in Nova.

The settings menus are more marshmallow themed in Nova.

Nova stays in memory more aggressively than Apex. But I always love the underdog and Apex for that Alpha animation of theirs. So I regularly return.

If you want to see forgotten, buy next 3D launcher, pay $16 for a launcher that doesn't work on cm12, and having the dev completely ignoring the complaints. I'm happy using Apex as way it is, if I want it to be like Nova launcher, then I'll get Nova launcher instead, which I have. Apex integrates with cm themes better, and you can edit the items in the menu for both the desktop and the drawer, which nova can not. I also like the way icon placement on the dock better on apex. On nova's dock, all the icons are placed too far on the edge.

I have a big problem, please kindly help. I use titanium backup and uninstalled completely apex launcher 3.1. I don`t have any launcher now. The phone doesn`t start up (logo loop), but only works recovery mode. My phone ZTE v987 android 4.2.1 brunomod 4.0 is encrypted with valuable data. I don`t want to upload a new rom with default settings. I don`t have a backup my current rom :(

1. Can I upload apex launcher through the update .zip or prepare apexlauncher.apk ->.zip in recovery mode? How to do it? The phone is encrypted, but no SD card. Is this a problem in recovery mode?

2. Can someone please me to prepare the file rescue of apexlauncher loaded with a recovery mode?
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Wow. You should always have a backup. Next keep 2 launchers installed even if you only use 1, this way if you accidentally delete a launcher or it crashes or something at least you have a secondary launcher. Should never delete a launcher to begin with, unless you have a secondary. Unless you have a flash able zip of a launcher or have access to a file manager in recovery like twrp has, the only way to get a launcher installed is to dirty flash your ROM or if possible use adb to push a launcher to your device from a pc. It's not hard, just search xda or google how to use adb to install apps. Hope that helps.

Ps. For other people with a similar problem - my file: Sorry i`m newbie on xda, so I don`t publish and put correcly links with my file (protect for spam on forum - block to 10 posted messages). File: apexlauncher_v3_1_0_flash_over_CWM.zip - 3.01 MB, download manually from:

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
No problem. Glad you figured it out. I always have 2 launchers installed just in case of scenarios like this. Most launchers are really small and if not used at all they don't eat at Ram and resources. Best to always have a backup of your current rom, if for no other reason just to be able to grab whatever data or whatnot you need. Luckily that zip worked for you. ?

[MENTION=4916750]Thebear j koss[/MENTION]. Do you know launcher that was less and faster than the apex as a backup (second launcher)?
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
You can use something like the side launcher, or qdrawer, which just let you browse and launch apps, but no desktop. If you want a full launcher that's lite and fast, try smart launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Go to anddoes website or email developer, the dev of Nova hasn't posted or acknowledged the xda thread in over 3-4 years. Gotta realize these posts were started when these apps were in beta years ago. There is nothing wrong with leaving your app on the play store with no updates or support. If you have a gripe about it, need to take that up with Google. Last I checked everything was working on all builds 4.0 and above....
