I've been refreshing the google play for many many times in the past 10 minutes and still it says 1.3.0 and I don't know where you find out the 1.3.1 but good that it's coming on the store :) My review is going back from 1 star as soon as fix is in store. Maybe it's because I live in Finland and am in another server group. Or that my Samsung S3 is different category. Don't know what it is.

Edit: Checked play store from phone and it said 1.3.1 then installed. No more FC and Apex Pro says 1.3.1 so it's really fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] androidmonkey:
What he said.

Latest update works.
[Android Apps and Games] RagingHarry:
Just went to (web) the play store, saw version 1.30 there, just gave play store a install command and 1.31 was being installed by the web version of the store.

:good: thnx for the fast fix. :good:

editmode: just few minutes later the web store gives 1.31 as version number.
[Android Apps and Games] rzlatic:
1.3.1 works ok after the update, no fc! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] jipeg:
Thx for the quick fix! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] n2imagination:
No its not. Just did the update from the store and still have the FC. I know the one from OP works but Play Store is still not working.

Edit: Ok it worked when installed from play store on pc but still not from phone play store. Dunno if I need to clear data for play store for it to show up as 1.3.1 or what.
[Android Apps and Games] Nephilim:
I can confirm that playstore update has been fixed (1.3.1) and it is smoother than beta6 by far.
[Android Apps and Games] iresq:
Rating down to 4.0

I sure hope people revise when they download the fix. Still would have been nice to be acknowledged from dev. But happy happy.
[Android Apps and Games] tierix:
Done. Now that it is fixed, yes I hope most of the people will go back to 5 stars
[Android Apps and Games] blade30p:
I just updated to 1.3.1 by going to the actual Apex website. I'm now running the latest version but I honestly Cannot see any difference what so ever???

[Android Apps and Games] psygbert:
have you seen from the play store that you really updated to 1.3.1 instead of 1.3? well, most people from here already got them in the play store.
[Android Apps and Games] Mikulec:
Are u kidding? Go to settings, there is new stuff there. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo.maGiK:
crisis averted :good: :highfive:

i doubt that any news regarding a major disaster in the world with 1000s dead would of drawn such passion from this crowd compared to the news that their homescreen app wasnt working for a few hours, keep it in perspective people
[Android Apps and Games] VincentDHam:
I hope in the future icon text in dock is implemented =)
[Android Apps and Games] kufikugel:
this isn't possible on playstore,
[Android Apps and Games] Christopher83:
Great! After the update, it works perfectly! Thank you!

The pro version is really awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] Ironlion45:
I actually preferred the ICS version. Like other launchers that attempted to use JB enhancements, it tries but doesn't...quite...succeed.

The main problem is in rotation. It takes sometimes as long as 10 seconds to rotate the screen between horizontal and vertical. 10 seconds! That's not project butter. The ICS version of Apex was as quick and responsive as the stock JB launcher...which I may have to choose, now.
[Android Apps and Games] Frezzno:
After reading all the pages where mostly of it was crap and only a few was good and helpful posts, I got a headache. But before I rest let me just give a helping hand.

These two quotes still applies to those updated with FC Apex V1.3.0. You can use the link below to push 1.3.1 to your phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher

Or...

If you have auto update and are connected to Wi-Fi, just reboot your phone again and let the old apex FC and google play should auto update. Press home button after that.

Those of you complaining that apex settings is gone when uninstalling, well that's correct. But if you were smart enough to do Apex settings and desktop data backup you're safe. It works to restore to the new version.

I would also like to say this to those who complained earlier about the new FC update: Switch launcher to Nova or whatever, you don't deserve to use Apex.
[Android Apps and Games] trollsperm:
Has it been fixed without mentioning that it has been fixed in the description in Play Store? Or is my Play Store just not updated?
[Android Apps and Games] Ironlion45:
Sadly, while I kept a 5-star review during the *cough* crisis, now after using the latest fixed version, I cannot give it the 5 stars; It was faster and more responsive BEFORE the latest update, when it was based off ICS enhancements.
[Android Apps and Games] TigTigerTig:
Right do this :D Go into Apex settings -> Behaviour settings -> Pick a gesture -> Launch Shortcut, you'll see the option for an Apex Action to be launched. That's a new feature.

There for me I get two "Activities" from Apex to select, so I'm guessing that's a bug that needs to be fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Frezzno:
You can at least adjust rows and columns drawer. New feature is able to switch to tablet UI.
[Android Apps and Games] orb3000:
On topic

Ok guys/gals please keep on topic and with respect, if you don´t like the app just don´t use it...
[Android Apps and Games] Iormangund:
I should have read a few pages first before posting. Seems everyone is getting the FC problem.
[Android Apps and Games] NeBouse:
+1 , i totally agree with you, the last update (1.3.1) is not as fast as 1.2.5 on my homescreen...i mean transitions between homescreens are a bit "sluggish", not as smooth as it used to be...

I'm a Pro user, since i really liked this launcher and needed notifications badges, but for now i'm back to 1.2.5, and i think i'll stay with it as long as the launcher won't be smooth as it is in 1.2.5 (yeah i've made a 1.2.5 backup in case of ^^)
[Android Apps and Games] pappschlumpf:
+1

and absolutely to many redraws!! In both aspects N:cool:ova launcher is clearly faster. But Nova FC's so often on JB that I use Apex anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] androidmonkey:
I love that mods are deleting comments.
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
1.3.1 bricked my phone!!! I want monies!!!

:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] jj92942000:
1.3.1 FC same as 1.3.0????? Really Dev??? Back to B6 Pro .. 3 Strikes you're out!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Frezzno:
Not sure if you really got 1.3.1. Can you still move your notification bar?
[Android Apps and Games] christianlr25:
1.3.1 is working fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Frezzno:
At least read a couple of pages back. Apex 1.3.1 works OK. I have seen lots of users with different models confirming that.
[Android Apps and Games] FruitBowlMafia:
No longer buttery smooth...

2nd update on Asus Transformer Infinity TF700, runs terrible swiping from screen to screen is staggered and slugish. Please post last working version for DL the new version is miserable and unusable.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Sorry about the faulty v1.3.0 release. We did test it before pushing the update, but the problem occurred in the final export process. It was a configuration issue rather than coding issue, which we did not expect. For those still getting FCs, you may update to the latest version from the web store on your computer. Once the latest version is pushed to your device, it will work again and you will not lose your preferences and data. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
[Android Apps and Games] TigTigerTig:
Perhaps you should write this on the Play Store as well, to calm the masses.
[Android Apps and Games] m1k30rz:
Got major force closes on latest release, was out and about so no time to research it, as basically it crippled my phone, managed to get into settings and "uninstall updates" on apex launcher, lost ALL my settings. fml
[Android Apps and Games] TigTigerTig:
Wow, maybe you should try reading the last few pages. Or even the comment right above yours.
[Android Apps and Games] blade30p:
That's nonsense, I had to spend an hour setting up both my S2 & S3. Seriously considering sticking with 1.2.5. As far as I'm concerned 1.3.1 is a big, serious mistake on your part.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] m1k30rz:
Wow, maybe you should realise I was just saying it sucks because I lost all my settings and I believe there's nothing that I can do now, I know the dev's messed up and theres a new version, and I'll update to that.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentDHam:
If you don't like the launcher, then don't use it. Plain and simple. No need for you to attack the dev even after he explained what the issue was. And you wouldn't have had to reset your configurations if you made back ups or simply installed an older version of the app. The dev apologized for them problem and worked on fixing it.
[Android Apps and Games] xstarbuckx:
Am I missing something using my galaxy tab 8.9 and dont see the option to swich to tablet mode, I can see the option on my S2
[Android Apps and Games] Cor-master:
New update is wicked, ultra fast and smooth, and tablet mode is actually usable, though not needed as I'm running Paranoid android on my nexus and can switch any app to tablet mode :) but either runs great!
[Android Apps and Games] AllSeeyinEye:
v1.3.1 works fine and smooth here. BUT when in vertical drawer swiping left/right to the other tabs, it simply isn't as good as it was in beta 5. Beta 6 was worse, but now you have to swipe precisely horizontal for it to work. If you're swiping a little up or down, it doesn't work. In beta 5 it didn't matter how you swiped, as long as the movement was left or right....
[Android Apps and Games] Frezzno:
Don't be like this. You lost some settings, some lost more than that, so what. You still have the option to revert to earlier versions which I'm glad you consider. Also please learn to use backup & restore options in apex settings. Not only apex can turn your screen black.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentDHam:
Right! ...

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

That's not possible. This app cant brick your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Cor-master:
Probably in tablet mode already, unless you're on jelly bean and have the new phablet mode, the option probably won't be there
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Your sarcasm meter off? I guess u missed the silly face below that. Guess I should've used /s :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] zakoo2:
i really appreciate the devs work and commitment, especially after seeing the issue fixed in less than a day.

i like the features and all that in v1.3.1, but i had to disable transition effects on the home screen as it became very laggy (i was using tablet animation, although i tried some others and they were lagging too). is this a noted bug or some feature went wrong and will this be fixed?

in-drawer animation is smoother and faster though. keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] demo23019:
Nothing has changed transitions still laggy as sh it on NS JB ive lost hope all hope with this dev/launcher

if was like this when i bought pro would never have purchased
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
I guess your sarcasm meter is off also? Of course the launcher can't brick your phone. I was just making a joke after all the craziness from earlier. Can't believe ppl that know how to replace a launcher, don't know how to work around a hiccup and complain HARD :eek: smh.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentDHam:
lol oh *facepalm*
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
I had to turn off transitions effects (tablet) ever since the JB base for Apex (1.3.0 betas). I guess those effects aren't HW accelerated yet or something. My GNex is JB so I thought it wouldn't be an issue. Oh well, I started to like the non-transition effect on my phone more than with, plus its very smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] Frezzno:
Should have known but I wasn't sure. I saw a lot of spaces when I quoted so I shortened it... Ok I missed the silly face.
[Android Apps and Games] n2imagination:
+1 I am a massive apex fan and use it 99.9% of the time as my launcher so I did not know any better to see lag but when the "apexgate incident of 9-24" happened earlier today ;) I temporarily switched to nova as I have both apex pro and nova prime from days past. Nova is defiantly much "snappier" for some reason in its screen transitions and app drawer transition open and close. I have no idea why and switched back and forth many times today to make sure this isn't "grass is greener" effect. Anyway I hope this gets worked out and or I am proved wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] jantonio23:
May I ask if the newly fixed version is still laggy as hell?

Im using 4.0.4
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
This is still happening for me on 1.3.1, now on latest RasBeanJelly ROM. Logcat attached.
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
Pretty sad that the really really bad lag is still not fixed in the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] jantonio23:
I see.. thanks for the info ;)
[Android Apps and Games] crotchfist:
looks like i'll be sticking with the version i have, before all of the FCs and fixes.

kinda sucks Apex is going through all of this, but i'm a user that doesn't judge because of issues.

i simply wait until the problems are solved and move on, continuing to enjoy the app for the quality, not because of the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] dave2metz:
So what exactly is new on this update? Sorry, haven't noticed a lot. Maybe I'm missing something. I love Apex Pro!
[Android Apps and Games] liquidguru:
Nvm..found the answer.
[Android Apps and Games] YaPeL:
Indeed, and the fact that it has been reported several times, makes me wonder why the developer chosed to release the beta as stable, kinda odd.

[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
i was playing around with Apex Launcher and decided to try its TabletUI.

but once i enabled it, i found no way to call up the Apex settings to cancel this mode.

now im left with a few blank screens (as i have no shortcuts added yet), no dock, and just the 3 virtual buttons (which do not help)..

any one can enlighten me? tia..
[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
if you look on the play store it tells you of course that's since the last stable not since the last beta
[Android Apps and Games] resynx:
Long press the screen and add apex settings shortcut or go into your settings and clear data for the launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] blade30p:
For all those moaning about laggy app drawers settle minimum scrolling time to 3. No mo're lag :)

[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
thx for the quick reply.. unfortunately i have disabled long-pressing action in apex settings before switching to table ui..

so am i left with clearing data as the only option? (as i did quite a bit of setting changes beforehand.. *sigh*)
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Try double tapping an empty spot on the home screen. That should also bring up a menu where you can get to settings.
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
unfortunately i have also disabled double-tapping action on the screen..

actually i have disabled most tapping actions and locked the desktop before switching to tablet ui..

i dont think i did something moronic as the above settings work perfectly under phone ui..

its just this new tablet ui causing issue, and if there is indeed no way to revert to phone ui without clearing data, i would think that this is a potential "bug" that the apex devs should handle (i.e., to warn against switching to tablet ui when these settings are in effect)..
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Have you also disabled the menu in the app drawer? If so, then yes, you may have disabled every single way to get to the Apex settings.

As for whether or not this is a bug, there are a lot of different ways to get to the settings, and at different times people have requested the ability to remove each of them. He gave us what we asked for, set the defaults to safe settings, and left it up to us to not do anything stupid. It would be a fair amount of coding to run a check whenever you disable one of the myriad methods to get to the settings to ensure it's not the last one. A bit of planning and common sense when locking things down should avoid this situation 99.9% of the time.

I never expect that an improved performance would result in awesome lag in screen transition.
[Android Apps and Games] resynx:
My screen transitions are just fine, all smooth over here.
[Android Apps and Games] jantonio23:
You must be using JB ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] DesignGrits:
The app drawer is the problem, it lags really bad. I am testing the alternate app drawer app that is available on XDA Android App section as an alternate to this app drawer because if the extreme lag.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

If you guys are having extreme lag on Apex launcher like I am try Alt App Drawer. Its awesome and customizable, never used it on another rom but MIUI but this beats the lag, right?

[Android Apps and Games] TwinkyOfHope:
My screen transitions are also choppy. I'm using a galaxy nexus with an aokp jb rom.

Reverting to older version makes things buttery smooth

Hi,

I have an issue that started in beta 6 where I can't set the app drawer rows to anything higer than 6, is this a known issue?

Previouly I had this set to 8 and 6 leaves large gaps between the rows.

This is very annoying!
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
thx for ur reply.. i didnt disable menu in app drawer..

my issue is that while in tablet mode, i cant find a way to enter the app drawer in the first place..

i have 3 useless virtual buttons.. tapping, double-tapping, long-tapping on the home screen has been disabled..

so seems that i cant do much in this situation..

[edit]

maybe my question now becomes a generic one.. how do u enter app drawer when in tablet mode in general?

tia..
[Android Apps and Games] MAMeingast:
Another issue: WIth the new version of Apex I am no longer able to replace the icons of my shortcuts with icons from an icon pack (the other options are still available) - can anyone confirm this problem? I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling several icon packs - the option simply does not pop up...
[Android Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
Same here, so confirmed ;)
[Android Apps and Games] kancherlapraneeth:
In tablet mode.. on top-right corner .. there is a button with 6 dots ( 2 rows with 3 dots each ) that will open app-drawer!
[Android Apps and Games] rzlatic:
same here, app drawer is ok but homescreens transitions are choppy. back to 1.2.5, the "smoothie" :)
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
thx for ur reply.. i enabled tablet ui again and it worked as u described..

i know why i didnt see this "6 dots" in the first trial.. right before i enabled tablet ui in apex settings, i disabled "Show persistent search bar" option!

now i think i can register a "bug" in apex, that is, the "6 dots" button should not be associated with the google search bar, at least in my understanding these are 2 different things..

[edit]

so it seems that i really found a way to disable every possible way of returning to the apex settings when in tablet ui.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zelig:
The next update sounds massive, so can't wait for it to drop.

Thanks Dennisxl, for taking the time to individually respond to a lot of the posts.

If you implement something like my suggestion, I will be a very happy camper.
[Android Apps and Games] dermann:
I have just installed an update for the rom I'm using on my HD2 and now the launcher won't let me into the Apex menu, it FC's and restarts. Here's my logcat.

Thank you for all your work, I love this Launcher! ;)

i can't wait for the huge update :D
[Android Apps and Games] matius44:
Thanks for the detailed reply mate..

I just made the logcats using the app alogcat someone mentioned earlier ran it twice to make sure..

Hope it helps, and appreciate your efforts :)
[Android Apps and Games] stu5797:
oh no, he did not say anything about the app drawer allowing vertical "waterfall" scrolling. I can't wait for that to be implemented.

thanks for all your dedicated work on this launcher!

Really cool launcher! Use it on my Nexus S and Xoom tablet. Hoping for transparent folder background option in a future version.

Hi, is it possibile TO share your application on the forum of TabletRom site, Thank's tor amazing launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] dermann:
I don't know how knowledgeable you are with decompiling apk's, but if you want you can add it yourself. Here is a screen shot of my phone with 10x10, as you can see it doesn't look good, If you're on a table it might look better...

strings.xml

<string name="pref_homescreen_grid_max">7</string>

change to 10.

@dennisxl

If you don't like my post here, please let me know and I'll delete it. The last thing I want to do is offend the Dev of this great Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] axistr:
This is a very good launcher for ICS. I like it. Probably it will be my main launcher app. Looking for future updates. Thanks for all your work. :)

Is it possible to put persistent search bar only on a certain home screen? It has better looking than the original Google search widget but I don't want it in every homescreen.
[Android Apps and Games] Jon (aka nle):
Any news on the 132 dpi crash issue on Touchpad. I just did a clean CM9 install on 120 dpi, installed Apex and everything was fine. Set the dpi to 132 (native for touchpad) and Apex crashed instantly when launching after boot.
[Android Apps and Games] rel1215:
I love this launcher. Loaded it over a week ago and don't plan on switching ever. The only thing that would make it perfect would be being able to control the home screen rotation. Maybe tie it into the power widget in the notification center in AOKP etc........

Great work and thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Apex Settings->Behaviour Settings->Screen Orientation.

Though adding Apex Actions for locking/unlocking rotation would probably be a decent feature...
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Which version are you running? Are you still on v0.1?

Thanks. It helped. I'll try to fix it in the next version.

The max grid size is 10x10 on tablets so you don't need this hack.

You'll be able to achieve something similar with the next update. :cool:

Apex will probably look bad under custom DPI settings, but I'll at least try to fix the crash issue.

Unfortunately, that would require some deeper integration with the ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] dermann:
I'm using v0.2. I don't personally use the grid feature, just trying to offer an alternative for some that may want it that high. Like I've said before, I mean no offence.
[Android Apps and Games] lyndonguti:
is it better than nova launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] cwhitney24:
Really? You going to come in to another app devs thread to ask if its better than something else. Please people stop doing this! Just try it and decide for yourself.
