I noticed that a few times, put an app in a draw folder and the app remains in the draw or it randomly appears both in the folder and draw.

Apex seems to be having issues with changing the wallpaper. If I change the wallpaper, it'll appear fine, but after a few minutes it'll appear zoomed in and won't go back until I manually change it. This is not the case when using the default Google Experience Launcher. Not sure if this is a bug or not. Running Paranoid Android 4.4.2.

Thanks,

Icons Misalligned?

I've been using Apex for about as long as I've used android, recently I got an HTC One M8 and installed Apex on it, I got my homescreen set up and customized to my likings, but suddenly after an update it seems all of my icons have been misaligned towards the tops of their respective grids. They were fine a few hours ago, but restarting apex, changing the grid size, restarting the phone, nothing fixes it. I tried looking up the problem but found nothing.

Yeezus! Another update, take that NOVA!

Edit: All jokes aside, I guess you will be working on the dock background soon? How about adding reflecting option for the dock icon like it is with ADW EX? May be ability to change shape of dock like with NOVA? What ever you're planning to do next, excellent work.

Does this have notifications for the dock icons ? Reason I deleted Nova after 5min, no notifications for unread texts or missed calls. Other than that I did not notice any difference whatsoever between stock launcher and Nova. I like to run my ROM's as pure stock vanilla as much as I can.

GO Launcher EX has the missed notifications, but GO is not ready for ICS in my opinion,needs a big update.

the only bug i notice about latest update is when you set no tab drawer, the indicator style (set as dot) will automatic change to line....can't use dot...if i change the indicator style to line, the indicator disappears from the drawers....

After using apex pro for a few months, pro features suddenly disappeared. My settings are all remembered, but things like gestures and notification count have gone.

I have tried rebooting, restarting apex, uninstalling and reinstalling apex pro from Google Play, and restoring apex settings from my SD card.

Please help!

Update: tried a compete fresh reinstall of both apex and apex pro from play store. When I click apex pro shortcut on the home screen it says app not installed. But when I locate apex pro, for example by following the link on apex settings page, on Google play, it says it's installed. What the hell is going on?
[Android Apps and Games] Contivity:
Is there behavior change with apex? I tried to change the number of rows in vertical continuous and have problem. Vertical paginated have problem swiping left and right to switch tab.

Edit: I had tried changing the setting of infinite scrolls and join drawer tab, but none off them work as expected.

I'm looking for a way to set 7 rows, and at the bottom of reach tab it will stop. Swiping left and right changes the tab.what setting should I change it to?

I'm on latest stable and the beta seemed to have battery drain as reported.
[Android Apps and Games] wiiareonfire:
Found a bug: when the app drawer page indicator is set to "dot" and then disabled entirely by the option above it, the line indicator will appear in the drawer. When it is set to "line" and disabled, it disappears as expected. Just a little quirk I thought I should bring to someone's attention :)
[Android Apps and Games] RodimusConvoy:
I'm on regular Apex (the free version) and so far so good. I had Nova for a while, but I couldn't figure out how to change the long press on the home button (the button that looks like a house) to something else, plus the pinch in feature that lets me see all the desktop pages at once. I'm guessing those features are on the paid version of Nova? At some point I can see myself buying both paid version of Apex and Nova, but in the meantime I keep up with both threads at XDA.

I'm used to seeing notifications/notification counts at the very top, not on the apps themselves, so no biggie there.
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
Gestures are definitely a paid feature for Nova, however changing the home button behavior is possible with the free version. Just go to Options -> Gestures and Buttons -> and the first option should be for changing what the home button does.
[Android Apps and Games] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks that worked. Besides the gesture thing there doesn't seem to be much difference between the two. I think I may have to get the paid versions and then their respective notification count addons to really see a difference, perhaps...but since I'm used to notifications being at the top, I'm in no rush.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
There are many difference between Nova and Apex, but like you said, you're going to have to get the premium version to figure out the difference. Just to mention a few Apex is smaller in file size, and takes less resources. Nova had more customization such as better dock and folder background, has more gestures. Apex can change its skin and icon font through the able icon pack, nova can't. Nova's last update was in 12/2013, apex just had an update 2 days ago, this reassures some people that Apex's development is alive and kicking. Nova doesn't seem to be have any bugs, Apex has a few that needs to be fixed, such as the scroll indicator in the drawer. I own both launchers so I don't have to choose.
[Android Apps and Games] kranti2064:
A recommendation.. please make the launcher compatible with stock widgets of TW/LG/Sony etc stock widgets.

I personally do want to change my launcher but not having the stock widgets compatible stops me from doing so..
[Android Apps and Games] Rob S.:
Stock Widgets are dependent and built around the SystemUI/framework on most devices (LG, HTC, Samsung, etc.), so it's simply not possible to make 3rd party launchers compatible with them.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Folders get crammed when using more number of columns. Dont seem to scale properly. Icons get cut in preview.

Was not a problem in nova. Please look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
I figured out something regarding the dot indicator. First, it will only appear if the drawer style is set as horizontal paginated. If it's set as vertical continuous or list, then only line indicator. Second, dot indictor only appear at the bottom of the screen, regardless if I choose for it to appear at the top. Personally, I don't care what shape the indicator is, nova launcher forgo the whole indicator choice in the drawer setting, the users don't seem to complaint, and one less thing to be an issue.

homescreen switch

I state what I want to be able to do.

I would like to be able to save different homescreen, characterized by different icon packs, different provisions of icons and widgets.

In this way I could switch from one set of graphics to another, without losing time to change folder icons, widgets, and more.

I usually customize the icons, linking to applications, different icons, I must necessarily take action on these associations and adapt to the new environment.

It is able to save different settings of the homescreen.

Much better than having to use two or more launchers, each with their own background layout, icons and widgets.

thanks

Apex currently does let you backup and restore the desktop data. It might not be elegant but it should work.
[Android Apps and Games] Frank Westlake:
This is a very good idea. You could have dfferent "skins" for work, home, etc.

I do this also. With applications I have created I enabled them to make icons out of text; with my text editor I make text icons for various Java and JavaScript projects; with my JavaScript script host I make text icons to various scripted applications; and I've added a shortcut creator to 'jackpal.androidterm' so that I can make text icons to my shell scripts. This is a feature I greatly wish that Apex would adopt.

The only thing that doesn't restore well is widgets. I've restored my homescreen with custom icons, without the icon packs installed, and it restores fine with those icons.

How about a better icon picker?

Load the icons from icon pack faster and perhaps separate them to sections by alphabetical order.

I like how Nova does it but overall I go with Apex.

Would be nice to have icon scaling in the drawer as well.

All of my icons are misaligned to the top of their respective gridspaces. It happened after the latest stable update, updated apex on my old phone and the same thing happened. It's a bit irritating and with me being really anal about design down to every detail, makes the launcher pretty much unusable to me.

So here's something weird.

My back-home-multitask buttons seem to be transparent one day, then with a black background the other day. And sometimes they are half transparent (top part) and half black (bottom part). This has changed some times these last days, every time when I reset the Apex Launcher. And now they are all black, and nothing makes them transparent again. Is it a setting I'm missing, or has it to do with my wallpaper or something?

Please help me make them transparent again. Thanks in advance!

I want to create a dock with transperency. Is that possible? What file format should I choose? .png didn't work...
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
From what I understand of small tab concept, once you choose that option, you shouldn't nolonger getting the actual tab on top of your drawer page. At least that is how it works in NOVA launcher, and people want this feature because NOVA launcher has it. Then you're saying, what is no tab option then? You got me there, I have no idea what the difference is. NOVA only has regular and small tab. I think our developer may have being working too hard since many new features in the drawer menu don't work properly such as the tab and the indicator. However, this is a beta version, so errors are acceptable. Perhaps the dev really wants to make literal small tab, may he will get them right in the future. Hope I've answered your question.

If you're talking about creating it within the launcher, it is not possible. NOVA can do it, but not Apex. Unless you're talking about creating your own dock set with xml and photoshop.

[Android Apps and Games] synaesthetic:
Odd bug I've noticed when Apex Launcher stays in memory for long periods of time. This bug was not present in versions prior to 0.5.

Icons on the dockbar will triple or quadruple. Attempting to drag them off will drag multiple copies of the same app icon onto the homescreen. All of these app shortcuts function, but as soon as any duplicate app shortcuts are pulled off of the dockbar, the launcher becomes unstable and has a high likelihood of force-closing.

Resetting the launcher immediately fixes the issue and causes the cloned shortcuts to disappear if they were placed on the homescreen.

This is also accompanied by a visual indicator--the app drawer shortcut becomes thicker and darker in appearance.

Updated to 2.3.3 and for some reason I can't seem to change icons on the home screen any more. Worked fine then update seemed to wipe desktop icons. I restored from file and when I long press on the icon where it used to say edit and I could change the icon it only gives the " x Remove" option at the top of the screen.

Uninstalled and reinstalled from play store and issue is still there.

I'm assuming it was a setting change or something I missed that is preventing me from editing icons like I used to, but for the life of me I can't figure out which setting would remove that functionality. Can someone either let me know what I'm missing or point me to the right direction if I'm missing something and need to RTFM after the latest update?

problem adding apps to folders - sometimes

i haven't seen this problem in the discussion thread so i feel like i must have something messed up, but there are some app shortcuts i can't add to folders - the folder moves away and gets all jiggy. yet other shortcuts add to these same folders just fine when I drag over them. as far as i can tell, the bad ones are also just app shortcuts - not widgets. i even dragged a fresh app shortcut from the drawer to the desktop, then tried drag it to a folder - same result. the folders have various other items in them (some a little, some a lot) but it doesn't make a difference. i don't know why the folders are rejecting certain shortcuts. can anyone enlighten me?

Hi. Sorry if this has already been answered. I searched, but didn't find an answer.

Is there a way to get the ICS look back on this launcher? Ever since an update came out after KitKat was released, the launcher's colour has turned from holo blue to white. I searched within the apex settings but didn't find an option to revert to the blue colour.

Thanks.
