Vertical continuous scrolling problem!

I'm on 4.2.2. I've been having this problem with v2.0.3 but only on the widgets tab. Since updating to 2.1.0 it's happening here too. Other scrolling modes work fine, vertical continuous has the problem only. Is there any fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] jj92942000:
Long time user, I've wished you could incorporate hide/unhide feature right from the drawer like the dreaded TW. After installing an app now we have to scroll thru few menus then down to bottom to hide, very time consuming.

Widgets tab crash fix

I've also had the widgets tab crash, but this fixed it for me:

In Apex settings go to advanced settings and enable the keep in memory setting.

Hope this will work for you guys!
[Android Apps and Games] fone_fanatic:
Still crashing for me with keep in memory selected.
[Android Apps and Games] fbf2201:
I'm using pro version. After reboot the folders in drawer dissappear and all the apps are spread in drawer again. Since this feature was the reason to get the pro version for me, it's quite annoying. :(

Could it be if during startup the apps from SD card are not loaded yet the drawer vanishs because the expected apps are just not there yet? Just a guess.

Anybody else experience that?

I used a couple of custom icons from pictures I had and have since lost the source images. Is there a way to extract the icons from apex so I have the png files for use later if needed.?
[Android Apps and Games] 0.0:
An option to "remember last position" in the drawer would be nice. Currently, the drawer remembers the position, and I personally don't like it :(

Widgets sizing incorrectly

Been having issues with widgets sizing incorrectly. Tried as much testing as possible to try and figure out when it appears. Some background: Apex pro user, problem first appeared after i formatted and reinstalled apex, was working perfectly on a 10 x 8 grid before.

Anytime i setup a homescreen with more than 6 rows, widgets start resizing incorrectly and barging into spaces of the rows above and below. I've mocked up some screenshots to try and show this, no one in this thread has posted anything about this recently, so I'm really confused as to what's going on.

Strangest thing is that I was running things perfectly before formatting, no idea what's changed but it's only occuring with Apex.

Tried messing around with every setting, padding/margins/matching portrait and landscape/restarting etc. but nothing solves it. Any ideas?

(Edit: I did move from a 4.2.2 > 4.3 based ROM between formats)

Running apex launcher pro here, latest version and apex notifier, my phone icon shows misses calls and I'm unable to clear it, I've removed all call logs but can't seem to get rid of the missed call notification on the phone icon, also tried to clear data on the dialer via application manager, is there anything else I can try? Only way I can get the notification to go away is to disable apex notifier from within apex itself
[Android Apps and Games] maritimesbob:
I've noticed on Apex, when resizing icons to say 140% for example the font size also increases, often too large and then looking ugly. With Nova the font size remains the same as in system settings, but Apex appears to overide this. Is there any way to keep the fonts from increasing with the icons size?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
I aslo have this problem...hate that the font is also resizing when i change the icon sizes...even at 105% we can notice that the font also change...i just want to change the icon sizes not the fonts sizes aswell....

Did I miss it in the Apex settings or is there an option to avoid newly installed apps from creating icons on the homescreen?
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
That's actually an option in the Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] thenameistoms:
Play Store? I'm confused.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
If you go under settings in the Play Store, uncheck "Auto add widgets". It will stop newly installed apps from adding their icons to your home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] thenameistoms:
Thanks a lot mate.

[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
There are shadows at the top and bottom of the home screen. This option will hide them.
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
Does that mean the black background will be gone? Sorry for the dumb question, but I couldn't tell the difference when checking and unchecking this option.

Couldn't find the Fancy Widgets thread on this forum, so I will post this here since they are both under the same Dev name(AndroidDoes)

Does anyone know What happened to Fancy Widgets support?

It haven't received a single update since 01/2012. While it is still my go-to weather widget the lack of updates is irking me.

I have emailed support@anddoes.com regarding an issue in 4.3 where long date format( Thursday, October 15th) doesn't display properly(T,O, 15) and only thing I got was a short reply on 9/3/2013.

Is there going to be any more update to Fancy Widget or did the Devs just decide to let it die?
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Well if you have a black background, you certainly wouldn't notice the shadows lol.
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
LOL, true. Still couldn't see the difference even with a light background. Not a big deal, I was just wondering. Thanks for answering my questions.
[Android Apps and Games] aiiro:
I tried searching but no luck... Is there any way I can make Apex vibrate when I am on home screen and press an icon? Or if not, is there a launcher that can do that?

There is option only to vibrate on long press, but I don't care about that one, I need vibrate on simple press.

Thanks in advance.

On the Nexus 5 with 4.4 KitKat, the new launcher has a transparent status bar and on-screen buttons bar. I guess the big question is whether custom launchers like Apex will be able to replicate the same behaviour after future updates? Currently you lose the transparency on Nova/Apex et al.
[Android Apps and Games] iNaruX:
I think they will be able to replicate the 4.4 Launcher like they did with the 4.0-4.3 Launcher....as it is open-sourced it is no sorcery for awesome devs...I will switch to Apex once its updated to 4.4 mainly because I HATE the Icon size in the 4.4 Launcher on my Nexus 5..
[Android Apps and Games] plaidcounty:
The status/notification bar and navigation bar are all part of a system package that can't be changed by the launcher. That won't change with a 4.4 replication.

Issue with homescreen shortcuts for the apps installed on SDCARD

Hi,

I have few shortcuts to the apps which are installed on SDCard on my home screens. When I connect the phone's SDCard as external storage device to computer, all these shortcuts disappeared. First I thought they are just disappearing when SDCARD is connected & expecting that they would reappear once I disconnect. But later I realized that all these shortcuts are actually getting deleted. Can you pls check the issue?

Phone: Xperia Ray ST18i

[Android Apps and Games] wideopn11:
I thought I read that Google made the transparency available for other apps to use?

[Android Apps and Games] plaidcounty:
Didn't see this before. So I suppose support for it would be there as long as your system is kit Kat or higher. Jellybean's and lower system wouldn't do it.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
it is. just set the app's theme to Theme_Holo_NoActionBar_TranslucentDecor. It takes just some seconds to update the apps manifest, so please dev, update Apex to support this
[Android Apps and Games] bigmike35:
Is there a way or something that can be implemented in taking away the auto correct/placement from the grid when adding in widgets/apps. The problem is, some widgets you have/add or resize, you would like to center them, but the go left or right due to the grid lock locatons. The only way to kinda fix this is to make the overall grid size bigger (4x5 to say 5x5) or something along those lines. For me anyways, when that happens you have blank spaces and I don't want to add another 10 apps to the screens to fill in the blanks, then you just seem to have all your apps on the screen. Maybe implement this just for widgets that get added/resized?
[Android Apps and Games] TurboFool:
On my Nexus 5 I seem to be stuck between two different Apex home screens. If I hit the app drawer or the home button I get one of two different states, and as I add icons or widgets they end up in one or the other almost randomly. If I restart Apex it cuts down to one, but still clearly reloads into one of two states every time I open the app drawer or do other things, and gets worse the more I change.

Anyone else seeing similar behavior? Any fixes?
[Android Apps and Games] Breezer23:
Nova scales icons much better than this. If you increase the icon size they appear now crisp on Nova than when you increase the size on Apex. Any idea why? Only thing that keeps me from using this.

I've been using Apex Launcher for a long time and I love it, but I'm having an issue since switching phones to a Nexus 5.

I have a couple of folders on my primary home screen - one for my most used apps and one for games. When an app is updated via Google Play, the shortcut to it in the folder disappears and I have to re-add it. This just happened again today with Rayman Fiesta Run.

Anyone else having this issue? Is it because of a setting, or is it a bug? Thanks.

I'd hate to see this Launcher suffer the same fate as my previously favorite one, LauncherPro.
[Android Apps and Games] funksoulbrother:
There's another bug in Apex with 4.4 regarding shortcuts. If you check the box in the Play Store app's settings to automatically place shortcuts to newly installed apps on your home screen, when you uninstall an app, the shortcut remains on your home screen.

I hope the developer hasn't abandoned this, cos it's an awesome launcher IMO. A couple of small bug fixes and it'll be awesome on 4.4 too. I did email the developer a couple of days ago to report these issues with 4.4, but I haven't received a reply yet.

They also make Fancy Widgets, and that hasn't been updated in over a year, according to the PlayStore.

converted Apex to system file

used RAM Manager Pro "lock launcher in memory"

nothing really helped

[Android Apps and Games] Snuffalofagus:
Patience is a virtue.

I'm curious to know if the dev for this launcher will include some, if not, all the features from the GEL. I'd love to use every aspect of the GEL but don't want to exchange it all for the tablet UI and ability to use themes (icons, skins, etc.) As well as other features available on Apex.

I guess only time will tell. I don't mind waiting.

The animations for the preview screen and drawer are fluid on entry to them, but they lag badly when exiting them.

I see a lot of lag as the homescreen is appearing while the preview screen or drawer is fading out. Could it be because I have 9 homescreens and a lot of widgets?

It's hard to explain, but the issue is related to nested views.

Could you turn off the show wallpaper option (so that you have a black desktop) and see if the issue persists?

Thanks for the log. It seems to be a memory error, and it's difficult to pinpoint the issue from the log output. Did you have such issues with earlier versions (say v0.2)? Also, this might also be related to your ROM.

Do you also see lags with less homescreens and widgets?
