Same here on Galaxy S III. Apex works okay otherwise but it constantly crashes in the app drawer. Can't make heads or tails from the logcat entries.

is there a way to get app opening and closing animation/effects, on htc one x there is no stock animation on this so it looks odd with animation in just drawer and not on app opening and closing
[Android Apps and Games] VoluntaryMan:
Why not just make a theme containing the icons you want?
[Android Apps and Games] MissionImprobable:
Perhaps I will, but it would be nice not to have to make another theme when the icons work fine with other launchers. It would get a bit tiresome to redo the large number of themes that I have just to use them on Apex.
[Android Apps and Games] Link_of_Hyrule:
Is there a way to reset SMS notifications? because I have a 1 stuck on my SMS App Icon but I checked all my messages I think it happened when I accidentally deleted an unread message.
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
go into settings->applications then go to the sms app you're using and clear data for that app... you'll loose any custom settings, but if it's a lot to set up, most 3rd party sms apps have a settings backup option, so do that before clearing data.
[Android Apps and Games] Link_of_Hyrule:
That didn't work :(
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
I installed the beta so I can have widgets and apps automatically move out of the way when placing new ones on the home screen. The only thing is when I am dropping an app, the preview screens are a little messed up. I can see one line of the screen to the right overlapping and it is off center so I can move it to the left to switch screens but I can't move it to the right screens.

Edit: After reading my lousy attempt to explain the problem I have decided to include a screenshot. Just wondering if this is a known thing or if there's a fix.

[Android Apps and Games] VoluntaryMan:
Might be useful for the developer to know what phone you're on since it doesn't do this on my Galaxy Note.
[Android Apps and Games] XNine:
Forgiver me but I didn't wanna sift through 463+pages... What widgets are used on the screenshots in the OP? Are those Beautiful Widgets? Look awefully like Sense Widgets to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Syrus01:
Should be "Fancy Widgets" its from the same dev as Apex.

EDIT: I updated my original post with the info. I don't know why I posted it separately here, I wasn't thinking clearly.
[Android Apps and Games] XNine:
Ah, thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] iximages:
Any chance of being able to increase size of icons? Like in adw? Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Link_of_Hyrule:
You can vote for this on the feature request page listed in the op. Hopefully we get it soon but there are a few other planned features ahead of icon resizing.
[Android Apps and Games] VoluntaryMan:
Tap and hold on the icon on the home screen and choose edit. You can change name and icon.

Is there a theme thread anywhere? I see the themes on the marketplace but its annoying when I click on one, it kicks me all the way to the top when I hit back.

Try Idear theme for Apex i think is the best theme out there for Apex at least
[Android Apps and Games] brd912:
That's what I'm rocking now! I use the GS3 app drawer Icon and go whether ex with transparent skin. I also use the 5x4 setting in apex. I cant decide between these 2 wallpapers!

I was just wanting to try out other themes. Idear has to be my favorite theme ever. Ill probably take other things from other themes and add them to idear.

That still screws me for the app drawer. Everything else remains stock. Not too purty.

For those who have a crash every reboot.

I managed to run correctly apex in this way.

Unistalled Apex and deleted data from application manager.

Restarted the phone and reinstalled apex but without use any apex restore option (desktop and data).

Reconfigured everything with great patience (icons, shortcuts and widget) then a new backup of apex desktop and data.

Reboot phone and update to the latest beta and all works fine now.

When I reboot the phone never more crash.

If you can't uninstall apex launcher from application manager use titanium and change apex from application system in user application then unistall from application manager.

I hope can be of help to someone
[Android Apps and Games] Mardon:
Easier said than done. For me apex crashed on boot and got into a crashloop so no launch of uninstaller was possible. I deleted apk from system with aroma filemanager which can be run from cwm recovery. Rebooted and deleted cache and settings with sdmaid. Now i reinstalled apex and configured all settings manual and made new settings backups. Hope such things wont happen again ;)

don't really know if this is the right place to say this but OP, how come my unlock key(bought thru paypal) has been disabled by androiddoes. Is it due to the fact that I'm using it to my multiple devices already and also re-installing it on every ROM flash? I already emailed the support group but no response.:(
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
So i am using an app locker and apex to achieve a super locked down tablet.

It is working great except one small hole.

People can delete icons.

First i lock all apps down. This includes "settings" so people cant tinker in there. I then remove the search button so people cant see the app drawer. I then lock the desktop. I then go to the customize menu and remove all items.

The only issue is that even with all those removed you still can double tap and see the "unlock desktop" if you unlock it then the locked actually does disappear. At this point the only way to get back in is to luanch settings from notifications and unlock it via password. then clear apex settings from android. The tablet is locked down completely except if people tinker they can delete the icons.

If this was fixed we could have the perfect Kiosk :)

Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] Sirence:
Behavior settings -> double tap -> do nothing

Did you switch that off?
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
Oh i missed that.....

Yippee!

Perfect kiosk Mode!

thank you!

and thank you apex!
[Android Apps and Games] Battleship:
Or decrease, even, since I think they're gigantic. I did go post and vote in the page listed in the op so, hopefully, dock icon resizing will happen soon-ish.
[Android Apps and Games] lavero.burgos:
When I restore desktop data it only restores icons not my widgets. What's the point of this feature then?
[Android Apps and Games] Nephilim:
The point is so that people that edited their icons dont have to spend an outrageous amount of time repositioning their homescreens and then changing all their icons and/or labels. Readding widgets is a fairly simple task.
[Android Apps and Games] lavero.burgos:
I just posted the following idea:

If you like it then go ahead and vote
[Android Apps and Games] playya:
Come on now your desktops are all widgets? just got to be happy you have this function at all. I can't count how many times me as a flashaholic had to redo my phone and with my OCD I am glad I only have to replace a couple widgets and everything goes back the way it was.

Hey you can always ask for his code take a look at it and make it so widgets get restored as well since you are criticizing I assume you have a way/solution on how to fix it... hmmmmmm? :D
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
Hum, I do hope some features requested a long time ago and in the top ideas (icon resizing :)) will be implemented before cloud features (with a limited added value imho)

Moreover, backing up sms/call log is clearly not the job of a launcher, there are dedicated app for that ! And why backing up contacts when you can use Google contact feature ?
[Android Apps and Games] lavero.burgos:
Is why i said MAYBE contacts, i know that's faster when adding google account. SMS and call logs yes you can download 1 or 2 different apps for that purpose but i rather have 1 app that can do all that for faster restore than install manually more apps to do the job.
[Android Apps and Games] MissionImprobable:
What are you using it with?
[Android Apps and Games] lavero.burgos:
Yes my desktops are mostly widgets. I find a tablet without widgets boring and if i add all the icons to the desktop then why would i need a drawer? will become kind of a MIUI thing. Anyways that is me and my thoughts :rolleyes:.

I hope they include the ability to restore widgets soon. I purchased this app days ago because Holo launcher didn't look good in my tablet
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
Well, you should use titanium backup pro (as its name imply it can backup everything you want and pro version allows cloud synchronization).

A launcher should limit itself to its sole function and stay as fast as possible, not transform into the "awesome app with a lot of bloatware" ... just my 2 cents ...
[Android Apps and Games] MissionImprobable:
Doesn't Nova Prime say it can save widgets as well?
[Android Apps and Games] barty22:
Apparently Nova IS able to backup/restore widgets. Haven't tried it myself since I use Apex... not sure why I chose for Apex some time ago though, backup/restore widgets is a feature I am wishing for basically every day. Please, dev?

Edit; not really like a feature on its own of course, more like part of the regular backup/restore desktop data functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] crisgen:
I can confirm that nova can restore Widget and can restore also a backup from a different launcher like apex or adw

there is no update very loooong time :(

If you have apex now and You would try nova needs only make a backup of desktop and data of apex then install nova and You can restore your apex Settings (data and desktop) on nova launcher;)

Screen rotate very slow 15-20 seconds sometimes

I have been addicted to Apex for months. However, I'm really really bummed out about how slow auto-rotate is sometimes. No joke: 15-20 seconds (possibly 30 seconds) for the home screen to re-draw after rotating from landscape to portrait mode.

Using:

Apex Launcher Pro Beta v1.3.0beta2 AND

PaulObrien Modaco JR5 (his latest jellybean rom, which is derived from the stock rom) Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM

I also tested rotation speed on Paranoid Android (essentially Cyanogenmod 10) and it was similarly very slow.

:crying:
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Turn off Home Screen auto rotate? I don't see why you would use the home screen in landscape, but I just tested it out (using beta2 also) and it takes up to 3 seconds for it to redraw, but I don't have alot of widgets. If you have ALOT, then that would take some time to redraw. So either turn off Home Screen auto rotate, or cut back on some unnecessary widgets.

But yea, "

patiently

" waiting for the next beta/stable update.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
Auto rotate is mandatory for Tablets, not so much for phones.
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Was this a response to me? If so I know that. But he's using a GNexus, so no need for Home Screen auto rotate really. Especially with redraw happening every time you rotate the home screen.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
Sorry, just commenting.
[Android Apps and Games] Wade-0:
So in an effort to test the auto-rotate lagginess he was describing, I enabled Auto-Rotate in Apex Settings. It wasn't too bad on my phone, maybe 3s maximum delay. But now, I can't turn it off. No matter what setting I choose it continues to Auto-Rotate. I tried rebooting, and restoring my settings from an Apex backup, nothing is working. Any suggestions? :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Apex Settings > Behavior > Screen orientation > Default (or Always Portrait).
[Android Apps and Games] Wade-0:
Yeah, like I said, regardless of that setting it continues to Auto-Rotate. It's like the setting is completely ignored now and won't switch off of Auto-Rotate. I tried resetting defaults inside Apex, clearing the cache, and reinstalling. Nothing works.

I'm thinking I might have to completely wipe the app data and start over. This is with the 1.3.0 beta 2 version by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Very strange. I set mines back to default and it doesn't auto-rotate. Not sure what would override it. Do you have lock in memory set for Apex? I guess try that. And i'm using beta2 currently also.
[Android Apps and Games] Wade-0:
Yeah, I already tried that. Just tried uninstalling, switched back to default launcher, restored the previous stable version of Apex (1.2.5) with Titanium, and it's doing it to. WTF? I wonder if it has anything to do with it being installed in my /system/app folder... This sucks, I HATE LANDSCAPE HOME SCREENS!

Update: I just docked my phone for the drive home, and when I took it off the dock it stopped auto-rotating. I forgot that I have an app installed that allows me to force the orientation, and I have Tasker set up to Force Landscape when the phone is docked, and return it to Auto when it's removed. Maybe there was a conflict? At any rate, it's working correctly now.
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Haha nice. Well atleast you figured it out.
[Android Apps and Games] XNine:
Using auto rotate with HTC One X on CleanROM 4.5 and it takes maybe 1.5 seconds to completely rotate.
[Android Apps and Games] vNa5h:
Its almost a month without a stable version...

too many betas :)
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
flashed a different kernel on my phone and had some MAJOR redraws with beta2... not sure why, but it would literally redraw every single time i went away from the homescreen and then back to it... and it took a good 30 seconds to fully draw (with app drawer and all)... so damned annoying...

so ppl with redraw issues, try flashing a different kernel... i went back to the stock kernel and it's buttery smooth again!!

[Android Apps and Games] Emir5kurt:
Hello. I'm using the latest beta. It runs very well. I just have a question. Is there any way we can set priorities for Apex launcher higher to prevent redraws? I'm asking because even though, keep in memory option is selected, the launcher still redraws a lot of times.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Syrus01:
did you define / set your messaging app under apex settings > additional settings > sms app?

By default apex listens for notification that come from the stock apps. If you use third party messaging apps and disabled the notifications for the stock app than it's pretty clear why there are no apex notifications.

Please check the apex notification settings and perhaps define the apps again
[Android Apps and Games] lyndonguti:
It happends sometimes...you need to re select it in advance....and now test it with auto text with yourself
[Android Apps and Games] Gvaz:
I absolutely love this app. It's exactly what I needed on my SGS3.
[Android Apps and Games] Walker Street:
I like my widgets :)

I took your advice and turned off Apex auto-rotate. I should have thought of that. I get to keep auto-rotate on my apps. Doh. Yes if you love your widgets home-screen auto-rotate takes well over 10 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] gambit07:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] Cor-master:
Yeah I honestly think that's Google's reasoning by using a phone based launcher with no auto rotate on the nexus 7. Auto rotate means widget reloading, and widget reloading equals lag.
[Android Apps and Games] r4yN:
just checked out on the new apex beta, i've been using the stock cmX-trebuchet Launcher before and have never been mad about it, but now after testing the Apex Beta I don't want to go back anymore... it's so responsible and smooth, and i like the transitions :)

but there's 1 thing (which has probably been mentioned before), the jelly-bean searchbar is kinda ugly when you set it to static...

the microphone-icon is just way to small to fit in there, looks akward, but otherwise probably the best JB-Launcher

Therefore +1 ;)

(Tested with Galaxy SII GT-I9100 running CM10 and Siyah-Kernel v4.1beta6)

I installed this from the Play Store and noticed it was laggy when scrolling through home screens or through the app drawer. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running on stock ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] ropo1:
I'm experiencing a pretty annoying bug on 1.3 beta2 when I tried to add a shortcut from the app to drawer to the home screen. If I'm using transition animations (like cube out), the arrangement of the home screen gets all overlapped and screwed up. It makes it very difficult and sometimes impossible to cycle through the home screens when placing a shortcut from the drawer. I attached a screenshot of what it looks like. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Android Apps and Games] KMino:
Happening on JB with this launcher and with ADW. Looks like they need JB graphics support. They don't like butter.

When scrolling screens, widgets loose transparency and drawers are highlighted. Also pop up for adding widgets crashes when scrolling vertically like the app drawer does. Have to add from app drawer here (in horizontal mode scrolling). :banghead:

N7 JB Power widgets?

Hi

Using the latest beta on the N7 with stock JB.

I note that the stock Power Widgets option is missing. Its there in ICS on my SG2 (CM9) running apex and also on the N7 with stock launcher and with Nova.

Has anyone else noticed this?
[Android Apps and Games] killian32:
Is this launcher suffering of widget refresh problem like Nova ?
[Android Apps and Games] ropo1:
I'm running Shostock2 which is ICS, but it uses the JB animations so maybe that's why. It only happens when I use transition animation in Apex though. If I select "none" the problem goes away once I restart Apex.

Can someone upload latest 1.3.0 beta 6 version. I can't uploadi it with program uploader.
[Android Apps and Games] jantonio23:
I've installed the beta version on my Galaxy S2 (4.0.4) and the screen transition lags horribly. I never experienced this before on the official version though.
[Android Apps and Games] lyndonguti:
That is the reason why it is a beta ;)
[Android Apps and Games] qu3becker:
I had the same thing once I updated to the new betas. I fixed it by clearing data. Don't forget to back up your settings beforehand.

[Android Apps and Games] jantonio23:
Oh okay.. hmm fair enough ;)

I reverted back to the official apex pro instead though.. probably the beta is still not needed as I am using 4.0.4 at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] underworldfury:
I'm new to this thread and I wanted to see if this was a known issue.

In the pro version with apex being installed as a system app, I make a folder and I have counts enabled. When I get a new text message, it doesn't update the count immediately, sometimes not at all. Also after I read the message it still shows me that there is one unread message. It does the same thing for email.

Only when it is in a folder tho. Is there a setting that I am issuing out on"
[Android Apps and Games] Syrus01:
Thank's for the tip, but it didn't work for me. Tried out beta2 several times, but it's always the same on my phone. At first home screen transitions look smooth, but after 1-2 minutes or so they get very slugish/stuttering. Never had those kind of problems before with apex betas, but I think that's also one of the biggest apex updates ever. Changeing the codebase and all.

Looking forward to beta3.
