Problem with app drawer

I have a Nook HD running CyanogenMod 10.1 with the Apex Pro launcher and if I try and launch an app using the drawer, only apps on the first screen will launch the other screens the apps won't launch or do anything. It is like the screens beyond the first one are locked.

If I try another launcher the app drawer works fine and I can launch any app.

I don't use the app drawer that often and it is not that big of a deal, but was wondering if anyone had an idea why this is doing what it is doing.

Thank you

Mark

Still no icon shadows :( is there any other way to suggest that feature to the devs in stead of at the apex user voice website? (make a vote if you're interested though http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/f...ral-feedback/suggestions/2666487-icon-shadows)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Actually, for me, that gets rid of the notification only until the launcher/phone is restarted..

When I go to App Info, notifications is unticked, but I still get the persistent notification. Try it out...?

If I tick and again untick the notifications option, then it disappears.

Houston, we have a problem!

So the problem depends on the size of the grid...

Inviato dal mio Nexus 4 con Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] trant01:
Yes. As you increase the size of the grid the problem will occur. Anything bigger than 5x5 will be a problem.

With all these HD screens on our phones it would be nice to be able to use a bigger grid no?
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Confirmed. I run a 5x4 grid though so I don't notice it though.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I use a 5X5 grid on my SGS3. I found that after I place the widget on the screen, I have to hold down on the widget again to get the Apex menu, and then choose "Resize". Then, I can expand the widget across the entire page.

Did that will all my widgets and have no problems. :)

If needed, I can post a screenie later.

The only problem I have with folders, is sometimes when I try to drag an icon to add or create a folder, the other icons run away rather than cooperate.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Unfortunately, If you would like to use the "keep in memory" option to reduce redraws, you'll have to live with the persistent notification message. It will not show an icon in the status bar, but you cannot dismiss the message in the expanded notifications panel. This is a result of changes introduced in Android 4.3, where such an ongoing notification will always be displayed for apps with foreground services. Here's the description from the API documentation:

This will be fixed in the next update.

When you drag icons around, other items on the desktop would re-arrange themselves automatically to make space. This is a feature, not a bug.

Hi,

I'm comming from Desire HD and Custom Rom and 'til now Apex works like a charm!

Now I've got a Galaxy S4 and have some strange problems:

If I add a widget, I only get "Data is loading" message until I restart the launcher.

And now after adding some widgets, they are frozen. I have to restart the launcher to update the widgets (battery, calendar, traffic, etc)

Any idea what the problem can be?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bigg8k:
Could you fix the swipe down bug for SGS4 as well?

Apex settings - Behavior settings - Swipe down - Show notifications (which in my case will magically do the same as the 'Toggle status bar' setting) The only way to actually SEE notifications is to swipe down one more time. This is NOT ok! I Paid for this app, fix this bug please :)

I know that swiping down a second time seems like a little thing but when I pay for something I expect it to work.

bottom rows from portrait desktop view dropped in landscape

quick question: I'm using "Tablet UI" mode on a Note2 at 240dpi.

if I use 8rows x 5columns in portrait, and 5rows x 8columns in landscape (which makes sense :p),

is there any setting that can keep the bottom 3 rows from my Portrait desktop from disappearing on a Landscape view? (Currently they are dropped).

Equally, is there a way to automatically re-size widgets when switching from portrait to landscape?

(Both these features work default in Nova but I just cannot find the right settings in Apex)

tnx!

Can someone help me with my problem?

Its apex problem for a long time now. Too bad, its so annoying to get redraws that much on some new beast devices with plenty of RAM...

Sent from Pure Nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
If you do not want anything dropped, you need to set the same grid size for both orientations (e.g., 8x5/8x5 instead of 8x5/5x8). However, icons and widgets may overlap in landscape mode when you use higher row count. Nova does not give you the flexibility to set different grid sizes so you always have the same size in portrait and landscape modes.

There is a bug with the ICS search bar style option on 7" tablets. It will be fixed in the next update. For now, you can clear the data and restore the default settings as a workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
It took me awhile to figure this out on my own when I first started using Apex because I too defined them logically, which is to say XxY and YxX instead of the necessary XxY for both orientations. What I don't understand is why would I want them different? Because of exactly the issue this quote is replying to, that of things being cut off when changing from portrait to landscape and back.

Tnx! I can see your point ( or design vision ). I also realized the possibility you suggest but it does not look so nice. I guess there is no easy solution here until square phones or tablets are launched :p

APEX is the best launcher though IMHO

a humble requestto increase the max rows/columns, both for drawer and desktop. 10 is no longer enough for my 5,5" mobile at 240dpi, let alone for my 10" tablet :cowboy: perhaps max.15?

a question on a landscape desktop with the persistent search bar turned ALLWAYS OFF and tablet ui mode ON (ie no dock) and horizontal and vertical margins OFF, I cannot use the entire desktop; both left and right there is some reserved space that cannot be used. Can this be fixed?. In portrait mode the entire screen can be used.

ok...let me explain again what's the issue with it: I am talking about latest update that pushed yesterday.

it is all OK until you turn your tablet to landscape, then it crashes..it is as simple as like that. I am not new to android, so I tried to uninstall, clear everything, start from scratch and installed again, and then it again happens.

then I jumped to Nova Prime (since I bought that too way back), and tried...no crash whatsoever....like I said, this is spesific to Apex Launcher latest update. I am trying to find previous version (apk file) and like to give a try.

I am not talking about annoying notifications..etc....

hoping Apex developer give some feedback or some support since I bought the pro version.

can someone post version v2.0.5 apk?

I'd like to somehow make the two rows closer to each other (there is a big gap between them).
