as i allready said, i am NOT talking about the DOCK. I do NOT mean those 5 shortcuts above the back/home/recents buttons. There's no problem in adding anything there. I am talking about the back/home/recents buttons. In aokp rom, you can change those. I have 5 buttons there instead of three. Additionally, you can add long press actions for each of those buttons via the rom control in the system settings. There you are able to chose between your installed custom apps but NOT the "apex actions". And thats the problem i got. I want the home-button to get a long press action which allows me to open the app drawer from everywhere and not only my homescreens.

I hope it's a bit more clear what i'm trying to say.

There's a screenshot (which i'm not allowed to direct link yet :rolleyes:): hxxp://img801.imageshack.us/img801/2854/screenshot2012041523033.png (change to http)

I'm talking about the blue little house down there. Not the dock above.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentDHam:
That's not possible. The Apex actions are within the apex launcher app. Thus, only working while you're using the launcher/app (your home screen)

In order for you to launch apex actions by long pressing your navigation keys, the actions would have to be an app on it's own. They're not a separate app, so it's not possible.
[Android Apps and Games] shazui:
So in summary infinite scrolling is set to "none", and elastic scrolling/overscoll effect are disabled yet I'm still not seeing the blue, tilting tile effect when you reach the last page of the homescreen?
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
You'll need the overscroll to be enabled

Just a little problem

Hi,

the last beta is great but i have one problem with the unread count notifications with gmail app.

It's work with one account but i have 2 account and it doesn't count the unread mail of the second account.

Is there a chance that you could implement a the "MIUI" feature so an option can be made to display all the icons on the desktop instead of having a drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
Good God no... If you want that, buy an iPhone!

Why don't you buy an Iphone.... /facepalm

Here are a couple of good reasons I won't buy an iPhone:

Android is open source and I support any effort of community development

HOLO is a beautiful theme and I do not happen to like the theme MIUI has going on.

Why would I want to add them myself AND have a drawer, that defeats the purpose of asking.

I would also like to add that I once used Android before switching to other platforms and I see that not much has changed in the area of harassment and close minded-ness in this community.

I asked a simple question and received nothing but negativity. It's a simple user interface change, and I think having the icons on the desktop and removing the drawer is much more convenient as it saves time and I have about five widgets on two desktop slides. It would save time and I think a lot of other people would agree with me.
[Android Apps and Games] iamnotkurtcobain:
Put all your icons on the pages and delete/hide the app drawer/dock and be happy

Yup, newest version is also very choppy on my HP Touchpad (Adreno 220). But it is perfectly smooth on my Epic 4g (PowerVR SGX540).
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
No they won't.

No where have I heard that "damn, this app drawer thing sucks, lets do it like Apple". Normal Android users love widgets for which pages of icons have no place in. Just go check out the homescreen thread.

MIUI is more than just rows of icons on a home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] remus82:
While I agree with you, we have to note that apex is built on the basis that it is supposed to be close to trebuchet, with more customizations and performance perhaps. So having it built like the miui launcher would defeat its purpose. :) same goes for nova.

Sent from my Sensation running HyperNonsense v2.3
[Android Apps and Games] zuN!:
Since everyone is talking about MIUI...

I've noticed that Apex (as well as Nova) defaults to the original stock ICS icons rather than conforming to different icons set via the MIUI theme manager. On both Go Launcher and ADW, the icons conform to what is set via the theme manager.

Could someone explain why this is the case?
[Android Apps and Games] kristofior:
Photo Widget gets frozen

Hi,

I am new with APEX v1.0.5 and it seems the original photo widget stop changing photos after a few minutes or seconds.

When adding the photo widget, you have to choose multiple photos, then the widgets goes automatically into a diaporama mode to change between photos.

It works a few minutes but the APEX stop refresing the widget after a while.

Any idea ?

Regards,

Kristofior.

This laucnher is great, works very well on Android 4.0.4 with Samsung Note.

Is there any way I can make icons bigger because they look pretty funny on 5.5" screen (too small)?
[Android Apps and Games] crm4:
What didn't change is your lack of sense of humour, and your conclusion is so poor...
[Android Apps and Games] magic_moe_:
try using multi icon widget: add your apps and then strech the widget until the apps are big enough for you :)

I just gone beta on apex :D had the car dock issue...hope its gone now, will test later :) also loving the notification on the apps themselves!

EDIT:

Suggentions:

App notification for Whatsapp.

Gestures Controls from Magic Mouse, I know thats a tricky one :P
[Android Apps and Games] zuN!:
That's not the point of my post. Of course people on MIUI v4 can use the Apex Launcher, but the theme's icons do not show up in the app drawer of Apex launcher; rather, the default ICS icons show up. I don't know why this is the case but it only happens for both Nova + Apex.
[Android Apps and Games] BenEadir:
Hi guys,

Just installed the Apex Launcher from the Play store and loving it.

I had a few questions which were answered when (speed) reading through this thread but one question I have which I didn't see anything referring to is:-

Q. Is there a way to change the app the slide unlock brings up when you swipe to the left? At the moment it brings up the camera app but I would like the option of specifying which app it opens.

Cheers,

Ben
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
That has absolutely nothing to do with the launcher :facepalm:

That's not related to Apex. It would either depend on your custom ROM or you can install a 3rd party lock screen such as Widgetlocker.

HELP!!!

Installed the latest Beta version and choose to try the pro version, got a license until 24 April.

Then i tried some transitions, but now i am stuck with the rotating transition.

I cannot choose any app, the only thing when i touch the screen it fly to the next screen and so on.

How do i reset this or how to get in the settings of Apex.

Did already a reset with my asus transformer, no luck.

I hope some one can HELP me, my asus is now a dead asus.
[Android Apps and Games] MadJoe:
Go to system/app and check Apex Launcher's permissions and make sure they're just rw-r--r--. If not change them to that and reboot. At least when I did that mine stopped doing it.

[Android Apps and Games] MadJoe:
Can you reboot into cwm recovery? Clear your dalvik, and fix permissions and see if that helps.

You can clear defaults for Apex, launch Trebuchet, and go from there.
[Android Apps and Games] harmony895:
Put my asus on the dock and tried some keystrokes.

Then suddenly i got in the app drawer, there i choose Play Store and removed the Apex app.

Reinstalled it and now it is working again.

So for the moment i left the Pro Beta version to what it is and stay with the stable version.

Thanks anyway for the quick response.

2 questions: how to take screenshots and long press menu button for search?

Hi guys, I'm new here and new to custom launchers and roms in general. I downloaded Apex launcher from Google Play and installed it on my non-rooted Galaxy SII. I like it very much so far, but I have two questions. They are probably quite minor, but I searched and I could not find any answers.

1: How can I take screenshots? Both the 2.3 Touchwiz method (power + home button) and the ICS method (power + volume down) don't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong?

2: Long press on the menu button (left of the home button) of my SII doesn't bring up Google Search in Apex (homescreen or app drawer). This is very inconvenient for me since the SII does not have a dedicated search button. The long press works fine within other applications. Can I do anything to make the long press on the menu launch google search?

Thanks!

To take screenshots on ICS you should have it on power menu (long press power) or try to do volume down 1st, then power... takes a while to get used to...
[Android Apps and Games] nobrony:
Voted, thanks for the link.

I have found that the trick is to press both at the same time, but hold them until it makes the screenshot. Before, I let go before it actually made that screenshot...

It's impossible to run an Android 4.0 launcher on anything other than Android 4.0+ as it is based on the actual framework of Android 4.0 itself, it's not compatible with anything else.
[Android Apps and Games] simple_kid:

[Android Apps and Games] KBanause:
It seems you have a custom ROM installed. Pure ICS as it comes from Google only takes screenshots with VolDown+Power.

Hi.

Great launcher!

I have a request/question if possible:

I'm missing 2 things I had in go launcher:

1. The ability to create folders in the app drawer. It makes it much much organized and you shouldn't search for an app so much time.

2. The ability to search in the app drawer.

Thanks, keep up the good work! :)

I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but I love what you've done with this launcher and was wondering if I could send you a few bucks as a way to say thanks.

Do you have a Paypal address, or are you planning on releasing the pro version (which I assumed will be paid) on the Play Store anytime soon?

Thanks again for the hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Well I'm sold when can I buy the pro version. I set it up to have primary tab as ungrouped apps and secondary tab to have only games and I love it. Also love the phone/text/gmail notification icons. And finally swipe up on dock gestures. Fingers crossed it will be at a reasonable price but ill by anyway.

Add my voices. Icon resizing (

also dock icons

)

Dock is more beautiful with smaller icons, also if it had a custom selectable background

This will give us some more space on screen when using 5x4 grid. Some widgets (like Small home screen from Beautiful widgets) get collapsed on top of screen and you have their layout altered. Go Launcher and ADW launcher can solve it once icons in screen and dock resiszed

But your launcher is so smooth and you added the most advanced features that none of competition have, so hopefully you add these basic icon/dock features
[Android Apps and Games] punshkin:
hey, i love this launcher for its ability to hide icons and multiple folder styles.

i noticed soething that really bugs me though: when scrolling through the widgets in the app drawer they have to reload every 2 or 3 pages... even if you let it load all if you return the have to load again.

is there something that fixes this cache issue or do you have to fix it? i would really appreciate it

There is a slightly strange behaviour with latest beta as the phone loads back up after being turned off or rebooted while single screen wallpaper is being used (non scrollable), the wall paper first shows a wallpaper cut off to the left, then cut off to the right then settles to the middle which is how the wallpaper is meant to be. No other issues encountered so far.

Just loaded-up Apex today on my GNex. Seems like a great launcher. I've got plenty of experience with stock launchers, Go, LP, ADW on D1 and Bionic., etc. Apex appears to be stable and it offers the common-sense functionality that stock doesn't.

I read that the Pro Beta ended a couple of days ago, but I see that I can still download it from Settings in Apex. I thought that Apex was supposed to expire on the 20th. Any word on this?
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
