Is there a way on this launcher to view unread notifications inside of a folder? It seems you can only view the notification inside of a folder if the app is first, in the folder. Would be a welcome addition to add unread notifications on the folder as well as the app. Hopefully this has been discussed numerous times.
[Android Apps and Games] dherre65:
I really, really am surprised that there is still no option to drop shadows under the icons. There is no custom launcher around that supports it. It's ugly in my opinion, the icons have to be separated from the wallpaper.

If you agree with me on this, please give your vote: http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/f...ral-feedback/suggestions/2666487-icon-shadows. No this is not my suggestion, but I thought if we keep on voting on the same thread it may work...

edit: I especially am surprised that such a request as a transparent statusbar is being implemented in no time. Is dropping icon shadows really that hard?

I'm using Apex Pro for many months and it's a great launcher. But today, I've two "issues" :

Apex Pro V2.0.3 on a Samsung S4 (Samsung Rom MF8), root device.

- For all the shorcut for contacts (sms, call...) , I get a partial image of the contact . On the same device, a shortcut using TouchWiz is Ok.

- Using Apex Notifier, for mail purpose with Kaiten Mail (2.008), I can't select any account (I don't see them).

On my previous device, (S3 with Omega V23, root device), everything was fine (image for the contact, and Mail account)....

Thanks in advance.

Did you tried another launcher and see if that kind of lags remain ?

Possible bug: disappearing widgets

I picked up my phone this morning and noticed all my home screen widgets had gone - the only things that remained were my icons and folders. This is the second time it's happened in the past month. There's no indication of how/why it happened either time. My lockscreen widget was also gone (replaced by the default clock). Restoring the Apex settings backup did not restore any of the widgets, I had to manually re-add them.

Is this a known issue with Apex, or caused by something else? Apex is running as a system app if that makes any difference.

I notice there were similar problems reported in this thread from last year that were never answered.
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
already did....i always setup new settings/layout everytime i upgrade cause using old setup/layout might give more problem....beside setting up this launcher is easy :D

i would like to try Apex launcher but i when i tried to import layout from nova launcher it screwed up!

Apex doesn't import nothing and looses icons!

resetting prefences to default doesn't work and i had to reinstall it.

how can i correctly import settings, widget and everything from nova?

Hey I have a question

is it possible to somehow replace apex drawer with stock tw drawer on galaxy s4?

I really hate the pure android look of the drawer amd i love tw drawer

not only the pure look but also the indicator and the possibility to fast scroll

so i would like to use apex launcher but when i press drawer button then tw drawer would open and when i press back button i would come back to apec launcher...

i dont really know but is the drawer something like an app?
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm.....

Apex Setting - Advanced Settings - Set Default Launcher

choose Apex Launcher as default....
[Android Apps and Games] xPr0metheus:
Well... that's not really the solution to my request :P

[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
cause what you requesting is something beyond the ability of any launcher....you can't have two different launcher working with each other at the same time....

if you want to combine both apex launcher + tw drawer then you just have to build your own launcher....

This is very true. The "PostActivity" works perfectly on Nova. Twitter will popup flawlessly and I can begin tweeting. Not sure what the issue is on Apex.... Hoping the dev can look into this.
[Android Apps and Games] alen1901:
That shouldnt happen because nexus 4 has 2 gigs of ram, and a lot of free ram. stock launcher is not refreshing like that. Its the same if i put apex into memory (so its not suppose to be killed). Might try nova launcher just to compare.

[Android Apps and Games] vbaros:
I would say that probably the part which handles the widgets crashes or reloads because if the whole launcher would crash the current theme would reload and this would be more noticeable.

Apex Pro 2.0.3 notifications broken?

Is there some trick I'm missing for getting the notifications to work?

That's the one killer feature that always made me favor Nova over Apex, but with recent bugs in Nova I've switched back. I can't even get a Gmail notification badge no matter what trick I've tried by reading this thread.

If it's a known bug that's fine, I just hate the idea that there might be some easy workaround that I'm oblivious to.

Also, being able to have any app that sends a notification to the notification bar is an awesome feature in Nova, would like to see it on Apex.

FWIW I'm seeing this issue on both my Kindle Fire 1st gen (otter) running CM10.1 and my Nexus 7 (grouper) running CM10.1 with the Franco Kernel. Could it be a CM issue?

Widgets not updating

I've searched the thread and find reports of this issue, but nothing recent and no solutions...

Samsung Galaxy S4 (Sprint version), stock rooted 4.2.2 (MDL), stock kernel. Apex Launcher Pro 2.0.3.

I am having an issue with my widgets not updating. This is particularly apparent with clock widgets. I have both the Widgetsoid mixed clock widget (my perfered] and the stock digital clock widget (for testing purposes) on my home screen. Both clock widgets have stopped updating almost constantly when I return to the home screen from an app. Restarting Apex will upade the widgets, but they continue to stop updating. Switching the phone to landscape mode and back to portrait will update the widgets but they continue to stop updating (and I prefer to have landscape mode turned off). I have not experienced this issue using the stock Touchwiz laucher that I have noticed.

No task killers. Tried locking Apex in memory, no help.

I experienced issues similar to this on my Samsung Galaxy S2 E4GT, but nowhere near this pronounced.

I am going to try out some different clock widgets to see if that helps. I will slso try using the Nova Pro launcher to see if that makes a difference (but I prefer Apex).

Anybody have any ideas what my problem is or how to fix it? Haven't run a Logcat and not an expert on that, but can do so if it would help. This is VERY annoying! Thanks!

EDIT: Strange, but I was just having problems adding widgets to the home screens... it seemed to be adding them but they were invisible. If I long pressed on the screen, I could remove/resize/etc the widgets that were not visible. I reset the Apex settings which solved that, maybe if I am lucky this will fix my updating issue.

UPDATE: currently running six different clock widgets with Apex and the only one that keeps current is DashClock. This is interesting because I tried DashClock because I read a thread elsewhere by the dev of that app where he was specifically working on getting the widget to continously update (not specific to Apex).

Thanks for the detailed testing. I'll try to fix it in the next update.

Thanks. Your translation will be included in the next release.

I'm not sure if there's any technical challenge here. Will look into this later.

Have you tried to restart the launcher?

Please use Apex actions or set up gestures for that.

Not sure what you are talking about. Care to elaborate and/or screenshots?

Could you describe your tests in detail? Did you have trouble with all scrollable widgets or just some specific ones? Have you tested the stock scrollable widgets (e.g., bookmarks, gmail)?

How did you get this bug? Were you in the middle of a drawer page transition?

I was never able to reproduce this on my phone. Are you willing to help with some testing and debugging?

Use Apex actions if you already have them added to your homescreen. Otherwise, long press any icon and choose edit. Change the shortcut (by clicking the button to the right of the icon) to launch Apex settings. But I guess you can still be screwed in this case if you have no icons on the desktop or the dock...

Widgets not updating or settings for them not sticking?

Usually caused by, importing desktop.

You have to remove and add the widgets again. That fails, delete Apex data and start from scratch rebuilding the desktop. Importing desktops seems very buggy. No problems here with dozens of widgets on a clean install, they all update fine. Beautiful widgets, HD widgets, Jorte, System tuner pro and battery, APW, G+, email. Never a problem on CM 10.1.1 :rolleyes:

Hey guys..

I'm on a stock S4 with AL Pro coming from a stock One S..

I have a problem with the swipe down geture. The swipe down gesture is set to 'Show otifications' but when I swipe down, only the notification bar shows (which is normally hidden), not the notification area (which shows both quick settings menu and full notification area with emails and such), to get the full notification area I have to swipe down a second time.. This was not the case with my old One S, when swiping down the notification area came down with just one swipe..

Is it a bug with the S4 or was it my One S that were lucky to have the 1-swipe feature?

Great launcher otherwise :)

I like this launcher more that Nova, but still have to go back to Sense. I am on One S(s4) with stock JB rom. The problem that I have with Sense- I can not adjust icons size and no dock settings. The camera works fine, the weather works fine, news, FM radio, but photo frame is missing. If you could add option to import a widgets, I would love it, or point me into a direction how I could add the widgets. Thank you for this wonderful launcher.

I would "get raid" of the Sense at all, but the Camera is a must and the FM Radio. I was searching for a photo frame ( install a lot of apps), but they are either too complicated of not display at all. Weather Live is the only one that come close to Sense. Sorry about the long post. Thanks again.

So I noticed, for some reason, the notification bubbles have stopped working for SMS. I have a Galaxy Note 2 and the messaging app that is set no longer is showing the notification bubbles for new messages.

Every other one works(email, Google Voice) but not SMS. I have tried just about everything. Removing and reinstalling Apex and the Apex notifier but it doesn't seem to wanna work.

What is wierd is if I have a new message and open SMS with the icon and then close it, I CAN see the bubble show for a split second, then it disappears.

Any ideas?

Yea, just tried that and same thing. When I have a new message if I go into the messaging app and leave it, it show the bubble for a split second then clears it.

Now, if I assign Facebook Messenger as my default app, the bubble works fine. It's something with the default Samsung messaging app. I even tried pulling the one from the default base Note 2 ROM and dropping it in to make sure I wasn't using some modified version but it does the same thing.

Well, after reinstalling my ROM and letting it reinstall all my apps, it seems to be working properly again. I have no idea what was causing it to not display, as I have all the same apps installed as I did with my prior version.
