I know this is also true on the stock launcher, but why does wallpaper size include the space underneath the button bar, which is never visible? ADW Launcher EX changes the wallpaper aspect ratio to 1440x1184, preventing anything from being behind the button bar at all.

Apex seems to shift the wallpaper up 50 pixels, requiring some really odd placement to prevent wallpapers from being cut off either on top or bottom. It would make more sense to either change the aspect ratio or shift the wallpaper so that one can easily place a 96 pixel high section of whitespace underneath the button bar.

Bug?

1st of all: GREAT work!

2nd: i think i found a bug (it's possible that it has been mentioned before, didn't go through all the pages).

When in preview i can't see all the widgets on the preview screen (1st screenshot). If i swipe to 2nd or 3rd screen and then go to preview then all widgets are visible...

Running latest version of apex launcher on Incert Coin 4.5.0. Apex launcher installed as regular app (if that helps).
[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
I have had this bug as well also sometimes the widgets are visible when the apps tab is active but I've not had that issue since I went from a stock 4.0.2 to a custom 4.0.3
[Android Apps and Games] just4747:
No this is still an issue even on a custom ROM. I am on AOKP and I've had this issue since day 1. Mentioned it many times in here. Still not fixed..
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
Is custom icons an option in the future? And removal of the appdrawer?
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Check the first post. There's a list of features there that are definitely planned, and also a link to where you can suggest and vote for what other features you'd like.
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:

Thanks for your gentle reply.

Ill go and do that.
[Android Apps and Games] manishgkasera:
good work

would be nice if you can give option to select the app drawer transparency and import settings from other launchers
[Android Apps and Games] harmony895:
I think for a launcher like this one it becomes time to get its own forum.

For a new user it is very hard to read through almost 300 pages.

Then for the dev it easy to see if someone post's.

And a app that is gonna make money it looks much more professional.

So dev let's us know when and where.
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
300 pages makes for a good archive of fixes and bugs, people should learn to use the search button.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Used the search function and didn't find an answer: How do I get the dock in my tablet?

Edit: Tried another search term and found the answer. So I have to go back to go launcher HD...

Snap, no lag here running great for me. Only thing I'm having slight annoyance with is my wall paper will not display how its meant to at times
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Try setting wallpaper with Quickpic. I've never had an issue even when I have the scrolling off.
[Android Apps and Games] thomasmatt25:
You can also grad Wallpaper Wizardrii from the Play store. It has many more options and customizations.
[Android Apps and Games] The Gingerbread Man:
Yeah I tried that app and it still happened. The wall paper in landscape sometimes is off set and transititions between portrait and landscape I'll often find my wall paper bouncing around for half a second or so until it settles lol

[Android Apps and Games] doublewong:
I think apex launcher should allow user to choose whether it can be stayed as background service or not, because every user have his own preference on which apps should run faster or smoother.

SMS notifications is oddly working at least with Handcent SMS - if I have unread SMS and press Handcent's dock icon, then Handcent opens, shows me that "yes, we have that unread SMS" and exits in about 5 seconds. The only way to access that SMS is through notification icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:

I have the latest pro version but I am unable to see ANY unread notifications for missed call, unread sms, and unread gmail. These are all checked under advanced settings and I made sure the correct app was checked.

Okay, figured out what the issue was. It won't show any unread notification if your application is within a folder, it will only show it as a standalone shortcut. I hope this helps anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] Inferno986return:
I really like this launcher and I spent my good old hard-earned cash on the Pro version. It works really well and is a great subsitute for Trebuchet on my Galaxy S II!

However the red iOS notification icons don't appear on the Phone, Messaging or GMail app. Is this a folder issue or something else?
[Android Apps and Games] prdog1:
Has to be phone or rom. Works fine on mine. I get all three bright red notification tags. Wish I could change them to ICS blue. lol
[Android Apps and Games] gollyzila:
Check Apex Settings under Advanced.

I don't see why people are so cheap... support great work and they can continue to create great stuff...

Besides this launcher is hands down my personal favorite... and I'm sure most people in here feel the same way!!!
[Android Apps and Games] T-Loop:
Yep, I noticed this also. It'd be great to have notification bubbles inside the folder. And make it ICS blue, please! :)

If you're talking about the animation when the drawer opens it can be changed in Drawer Settings, I have mine set to none as I find the other ones too laggy.

But you could also be talking about the animation speed of the menus which is a system setting and can't be changed by default, however, with Animation Speed you can change it!

Edge / border screen space for widgets / apps

Thank you for making this great launcher! I was very glad to buy it!

May I make a suggestion? Now that you have included the option to have overlapping apps do you think you could include the option to have no margins in tablets?

For those of us who like the hubs design we just need to be able to extend the bars created with the the "minimalistic text" app to the edge of the screen.

This used to be a feature requested in your page (with more than 200 votes) but it has been removed...

Just to be sure I am not talking about the "Horizontal margin" and "Vertical margin" options in the "Homescreen settings" I am talking about extending widgets and apps to the real edge of our devices' screens.

Thanks again for your work!

P.S. Could anyone please share the configuration settings to use "multipicture live wallpaper" with appex pro?
[Android Apps and Games] The Gingerbread Man:
Unfortunately even with latest market release my wall paper gets displayed all messed up in landscape mode. On the left side some of the screen is black and the area where the wall paper is displayed is it is zoomed in quite a lot. I would send a screen shot but from xda HD app it won't let me.

In my opinion it is much smaller battery plants than the Nova Launcher.

Would you show me how you define an App (for example camera) on my 5*4 Homescreen to take 2*2 "slots" of the grid ? :p

We're not talking about cropping the image that will be used as an icon, but to define the size of an Icon (app) on the Homescreen, hope it's clearer now ;)
[Android Apps and Games] davebugyi:
After Update to the latest it does not responds - always getting error and have to close it (FC)

1.1.0 was working perfectly - now I can't access nothing even to clear the defaults, only the status bar works, but scrolling and opening menus are completely stuck.

HTC Sensation - ARHD 6.6.0, ICS, Custom kernel.

Any suggestion what to do?

Edit - managed to clear defaults, and it works until I enable missed call/unread messages counter(s) - after ticking the boxes it instantly freezes.
[Android Apps and Games] luciano.chavez:
Great launcher! I have a new ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 that I installed the Apex Launcher Pro and it is much nicer than the stock launcher.

One question with 1.1.1 is how do I get the ability once again to be able to tap on the end margins to move between home screens? I have to swipe now. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] ack154:
Mine are working fine. You check the settings?

Apex Settings -> Homescreen Settings -> Hide Element -> Hide Icon Labels

Make sure it is UNchecked. I just tested on mine by checking the box - labels went away, unchecked the box and they came back.

What device/ROM? I have had zero issues with the App Drawer on my GS2 and Galaxy Tab 2.

Better yet... what options do you have selected in the Drawer Settings of Apex?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

For those with "redraws"...I don't think it's Apex launcher related but some scripts/tweaks in your ROM...

I have Apex launcher both in my Gnex and HTC Sensation,never had a redraw...

It depends of your lowmemorykiller and vm settings I think (related to your ROM/Settings/app wich sets these parameters).

And don't use any task killer even with auto-kill (even with a even with a certain amount of free memory).

Anyway on my Gnex with ics 4.0.4,LiquidSmooth ROM,I've tested with agressive minfree...Never had a redraw...

Turn off your scripts/tweaks/apps who manage your RAM,lets Android made his job...

Stop focusing on the RAM used by Apex...If you have 5 home with 10 widgets per home...Bah!...Apex use more RAM...And stop killing services/apps with task manager!

Apex needs RAM and service in background for work correctly...For me in apps running Apex use about 13/15 MB and about 25 MB in cached processes...

Even if you want use a task/auto killer keep Apex in a task to exclude...And don't kill a service or cached process!

Weird for some people with the same phone but not the same ROM Apex lags/redraws...Something related to your ROM guys (As I said always scripts/tweaks),not Apex!

:)
[Android Apps and Games] paranoid2007:
I'm running ICS 4.04 on a GNex. Doesn't matter, which settings I choose. The app drawer is sometimes smooth as butter and sometimes laggy as hell. I should add, that I have about 350 apps installed.

Thanks for the quick response.

Yeah, I figured that, as I've been searching for the past hour for an answer. Version 1.0.5 of Apex was included in my latest ROM install (SkyICS on a Skyrocket). I just updated to 1.1.1 from the market and both versions have had the problem.

I have problems with unread count not showing on SMS when I have edited the icon or the text. With the stock icon, the unread count shows up but when I edit the icon it goes away.

I'm sure you've probably tried this already, but after ticking the 'Unread Gmail count' box, click 'Gmail app' below and ensure that Gmail is actually selected and then press OK. Also make sure Gmail is syncing properly.
