Transparency issue is still there when scrolling screens. Draw lag seems fixed, but didn't test it a lot, because of the transparency issue. Am back to N beta that doesn't have the transparency bug as it was fixed two betas ago. :banghead:

Really disappointed it's still in the Release. So no fix or am I missing something? As I would prefer Apex :D

DennisXL, you're loosing your user base to (mostly) Nova, fast!

I think it's time to listen to your community and implement some of the most wanted features or, at least, let us know where development stands now and what's there to expect in the near future.

A lot of us supported you by buying the Pro version, but given the current state of the app, if I had to do it again, I most certainly would not buy it today...

[Android Apps and Games] yahyoh:
sorry to say it but apex developers seems don't listen to us and don't care about us and they will not fix lag issues since apex jb

i was using apex since its came in ics days but since jb build came :( its slow and laggy and stuttering a lot and every update i try it again and seems they will not fix it so i moved on to nova its 100 times smoother :)

Why is everyone giving the Dev such a hard time?

Many times the problems experienced using (any) 3rd party launcher is due to several other factors that don't necessarily have to do with the launcher itself.

You have to remember, Android versions have been changing ever more quickly lately, ICS barely started hitting a greater number of devices a few months back, then CM10 and Jelly Bean leaks flooded xda with more JB users, and most of us are using nightlies or leaks which are not entirely dependable and completely unpredictable from nightly to nightly or leak to leak.

I'm not an Android developer, but just from prior programming experience I can at least comprehend that constant change leads to reworking code quite a bit.

I've seen fairly regular updates from Apex, true I don't use the beta versions only the stable Play Store releases, but from what I see this is a far cry from an app that is "abandoned" or a Dev who "doesn't care" about his users/customers. Not like it's Launcher Pro or something..

I see this a lot on xda.. people act like because they paid for something that the Dev owes them constant updates and personal attention for all eternity. I don't think the Dev needs constant reminders that he is losing business, or statements that "I would buy the pro version if..." every damn day.

Just my two cents.

[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Users are just being users. You can't escape that if you're in the app business. Some users will give constructive feedbacks. Some are just * ****. As an app dev, you should be able to focus on the feedbacks that are helpful and just don't get all giddy up about the other flaming/crying feedbacks.

Your blanket statement really hurt those with positive bug reports/feedbacks. I did post a comment about the shrunk app drawer with 1.3.1 update. That was meant as bug report and not a cry for attention. Few others experience this bug too and that gotta show the legit of the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] JoeSyr:
This seems like a bug, or at the least it's an annoying feature:

When editing a shortcut on the homescreen, apex lets you change the label, the icon, or the target. But, if you change any of these things it saves the entire shortcut as a custom item.

The downside to this is if you use icon packs, anything that has been edited does not update, you need to manually edit them or re-make the shortcut. If I had manually edited the icon for a shortcut, then it would make sense for it to not update automatically. But if I've only edited the name, this behavior is unexpected and an annoyance.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I disagree. My statement wasn't a blanket statement and it only applies to the people acting in the manner I addressed.

@Devs one very annoying issue making me goto Nova launcher:

when you set the drawser transparency to 80% or 90% then homescreen to drawer opening animation screws up, try this yourself, keep drawer transparency to 100% then from homescreen press the drawer icon, its soo smooth trasition from homescreen to drawer homescreen just closes down like a flower and drawer opens up, but when you set the drawer transparency that transition is totally screwer, it works perfect in Nova

pls fix it

Dear all,

on the SGS3 with the stock launcher there sit he S Planer widget available which show your appointments on the screen.

When i use the Apex launcher this wiget is not available, some other "S widgets" are there.

So is there a way to make this s planer widget available wioth the apex launcher? :D
[Android Apps and Games] AllSeeyinEye:
Yes there is. You'd have to port / mod the widget to non-Touchwiz launchers. The fact that it hasn't been done (as a matter of fact, it hasn't been done for a single Touchwiz Launcher widget) implies that porting it isn't all that easy. So if you manage to do it, you'd have a very happy community :)
[Android Apps and Games] osdgap:
Thats a pitty, hope somebody manage, i`m not able :(

Overlapping widgets

The widgets need the option to bring to front or back like nova.

Occasionally, my widgets falls the back for no damn reason, and I have to re-add each one. So annoying.

Yeah, that feature makes setting up the home screen so much easier.
[Android Apps and Games] Happs:
Current version of Apex is deleting widgets on my Transformer Infinity after reboot. Stock launcher is fine, Nova launcher is fine, GoLauncher is OK too. And it (Apex) seems ok on my SGS2 and N7, could this be a TF700T issue?

I have cleared cache, re installed and factory reset to no avail.

I hope it gets resolved quickly, Apex is my preferred launcher! But deleted widgets are infuriating!

There is some hiccups on the visual feedback when the Icon get back to its place.

Other than that, it's great to have it.

Still wondering about the usefulness of Icon swipe down gesture.

It feels simply not intuitive as dock is (usually if not always) located at the bottom of the screen..

Sometimes when I want to swipe up, it either does nothing or open the regular app as if I only pressed.

And I'm thinking it may be related to the swipe down integration.

Because Nova doesn't have such issue interpreting a swipe / press on dock Icon.

After some testing on why overlapping widgets fall to the back. It appears that whenever I play a game or watch a video in landscape, widgets fall to the back. So the screen rotation possibly is the culprit here.

I have found nova to be a lot smoother than apex (both using tablet homescreen transition and card stack app drawer transition) on my stock one S, so am now using it as my main launcher, however, I would like to use apex again due to certain features and overall having less redraws but can't as once you see the micro stutters in apex and compare it to the smoothness of nova, it is too irritating to use daily!

Please fix/improve the smoothness.

i'm loving this launcher on my kindle fire, first ics launcher i try that uses all of the screen, one thing i noticed is when using the card stack animation on the default homescreen i can't scroll in widgets it just goes to the next screen, gonna try it on my cappy when i get home and see if there's anything else, nice job.

[Android Apps and Games] fatsix:
Apex needs to resize wallpaper to the full size of the screen. Push it to the bottom of the navigation bar. The stock launcher stops it halfway behind the navigation bar as well. Creates a problem with a transparent navigation bar because half is transparent and the other half is the black from underneath the wallpaper. Also you should add a toggle to hide the gradient behind the dock which would reference a second set of transparent hot seats. Nice work so far.

This is a wonderful addition to the ICS on a Kindle Fire. :) But I turned off the google search, and it got my apps button also. Is there a quick way to get back to the Apex Settings Menu? :confused: I like it better than any other of the launchers I've tried on it (ADW/GO/etc/etc).

Keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
1) There is no lag whatsoever on my Galaxy Nexus when scrolling between the first and last screens. It's the same as sliding to another screen in the middle, which took less than 1 second. Did you use any LWP or any widgets on those screens?

2) Go to Homescreen settings > Hide persistent search bar.

3) We'll consider configuration margin options in the future.

4) Planned.

Which widget are you using? It seems to me that most widgets are only scrollable vertically.

Which navigation bar are you talking about? The dock or the virtual buttons bar? A screenshot would be helpful here.

Thanks for the tip. We'll look into this.

The option to hide search bar does not work very well for tablets at this point, as the "all apps" button will also be gone. For now, you may set one of the gestures (in behavior settings) to open the settings.

I'm very impressed with this launcher, I'm using it on my HD2 CM9 rom by tytung.

Their are a few things that I think would be nice to be given the option to switch between. These are my suggestions.

1. App Draw: I personally like to have a stock look to things, so would like to have the option to switch between the menu button and the market icon.

2. App Draw: Widgets: I like how the trebuchet has the "Join with apps: Swipe from apps drawer to widgets drawer without changing tabs." would also like this.

Also the resize any widget, doesn't work for me. Here's my logcat.

Either way, this is my new launcher. Looking forward to using this on all my ICS devices. thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] jhericurls:
Well colour me impressed. The features on this launcher is "almost perfect" to my taste.

I had not intention of trying this launcher as I was using NOVA launcher. But was bored so give it a shot, and glad I did.

Love the gestures and ability to hide all the widgets in my app draw.

But missing the ability to customise the dock a bit more:

- 7 grid dock

- removable app draw icon (I set it swipe up to access app draw, so that button is now defunct to me)
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Have you tried other scrollable widgets (like bookmarks)? Or this issue only applies to the Android Pro Widgets?

I just tried the Calendar widget and was not able to reproduce this problem.

Currently, the resize any widget option would only allow you to make a widget bigger than its declared size. Say you have a 4x2 widget, you can only make it 4x3/4x4, but not 4x1/2x2.

Dock customization options will be added in future versions.
