I love this launcher more than any other launcher but the redraws are a killer. The keep in memory button doesn't do much and even then comparing Nova and Apex, Apex redraws about 20x as much. It's sad. I may have to go back to Nova just for this.

Hmm....does anyone else having Apex Launcher not responding popup appear after the phone turn on/reboot???

i keep having those not responding popup on my phone....i'm using Apex Launcher v2.0.1 with Apex Notifier v1.1 on my Xperia Mini Pro (AOKP Roms JB 4.1.2).....

i already select "keep in memory" but still having this popup after every turn on/reboot....

Since updating to 2.0.1 I no longer have wallpaper (it's black) or notification bar. How can I revert to 2.0 or re-download 2.0? (BTW I didn't change any settings and TIBU already auto-backed up after the update :(
[Android Apps and Games] Pard0ned:
Apex wouldn't cause that I'm sure. Try wiping data for apex and starting again.
[Android Apps and Games] akarol:
Loving the launcher. However, I'm still having these two issues.

1. Widgets are overlapping each other when on landscape. I am using a 6x5 layout. No issues using same settings in Nova. So I know it's not a grid size limitation.

2. When using a dock background (I use a solid black background), the divider and page indicators don't show. Not even when I set the indicator to appear at the top.

I've recently started using vertical list mode in the drawer but would really think it would be more useful if it had more items showing at once and also had the quick alphabet running down the side like you see on ios
[Android Apps and Games] blackhawk77:
Hi fantastic launcher, thanks.

Couple of questions - did you remove ability to include beta updates, as can't find anything in settings anymore?

Also I'm sure I used to be able to set just a colour as a wallpaper but cannot anymore - would this be ROM related or launcher related?

Cheers

Nice!

Very good work, thanks for this!

Anyway, I have two suggestions:

- The icons in the dock seem to be a bit unsharp to me. Someone else noticed that too?

- It'd great if you could rename the apps in the drawer and assign new icons to them.

Keep it up! :good:

[Android Apps and Games] jazzespresso:
With several new updates last couple months, this is getting better, but here's what I noticed/issue:

When unlock the device, it takes quite of amount time to load (even if I have just a few simple widget on home screen) and opening the app drawer, there is always a lag when I switch from the first to the second tab, always. Then afterwards, everything start working smooth.

I am not sure if Apex developers read this forum (I hope they do).
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
You could try Apex Settings > Advanced Settings > Keep In Memory and see if that improves things. And yes, the developer is here quite often.
[Android Apps and Games] danikron:
I second this. Also, it would be terrific if, unlike other solutions, the opacity of the status bar could match the opacity of the app drawer when opened while still being completely transparent when on the homescreen. If that's too complicated then maybe it would be possible to have an option for the status bar to be completely opaque when in the app drawer.

[Android Apps and Games] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
The launcher redraws like mad even with that option selected. I'm not sure what's going on. I don't want to just blame, but there's certainly some Android or App issues if launchers need to redraw. Anyway, I don't see this in Nova, or at least it's very infrequent. I switched to Nova for 2 months just to try it out (always been an Apex fan), and my one gripe about coming back to Apex has been redraws. Ugh.
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Did you tried Nova now? The problem for sure is not linked to Apex. Maybe a nice wipe + fresh install of your rom would do the trick.

Another thing you could try before : wipe data of Apex, uninstall and reinstall...

Maybe you have errors on you sdcards too. You could try to plug your phone on a pc a run a chkdsk on your internal and extsdcard if you have one.

Good luck

Cross Transition bug

I've been using Apex Pro since I got my first Android 4.x device a year ago and like it. I ended up trying the cross transition again today and I'm still having issues with it. Appearance wise it's great, by far my favorite. But only if it worked. :(

It started when I tried it on my Transformer TF101 and now I have the same problem whether I'm using it for homescreen or app drawer transitions with my Nexus 7. I can't pick icons. Tapping an icon in the drawer does nothing. Neither does tapping homescreen widgets. As soon as I change to a different transition I'm fine.

I do tend to pack tight my screen, 10x6 on my Nexus 7 homescreen but only 7x4 for the app drawer, always in landscape. But I've gone down to even less in the drawer to see if density made a difference without any better behavior.

Does anyone else have this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Rapture Veteran:
This is a issue thats about to drive me back to never updated holo launcher. im sort of obsessed with launchers that list your most used downloads (which is why nova will never be downloaded for me) and i got an apps folder and a downloaded folder. apps folder seems to be fine but downloaded folder is out of wack. i cant seem to get it to stay in alphabetical order to save my life. if i go to the settings and choose title instead of most used then we got apps folder may look one way and my downloaded looks another. for instance, now my apps folder shows apollo music player but my downloaded doesnt. i dont understand this app

If I manually set an icon from an icon pack to an app or folder is there a way to restore the one that would have been used by default by that icon pack? That is, I want to remove the icon I manually set and have it revert to the icon themed using the icon pack. (I don't mean restoring the app's default icon but rather I want the app's icon on the icon pack's templated generic icon background).

Can anyone get a dump of Apex Launcher wallpapers?

Sent from ThePureHeart's I9300 Boss Edition
[Android Apps and Games] RavenMad:
Yeah, I know, confusing :)

Ok, so when you apply an icon pack in Apex, it will apply custom icons to all apps where there is a matching icon in the pack. However, if there's no matching icon, it just applies a themed background from the pack (blank icon) with the app's original icon on top. Eg, in the MeeUI HD icon pack, there's no icon for PlayerPro so it just uses the original icon from PlayerPro app overlaid on a blank background from the icon pack.

If you then manually apply some other icon to that app but want to revert to the blank background from the icon theme, there's no way to do it - you can only restore the totally stock (unthemed) icon - eg, the stock PlayerPro icon in the example above.

I was not able to reproduce the issue with the Cross transition effect.

This is rather frustrating since it fails on both my Nexus 7 tablet and Asus Transformer TF101 tablet. Can a

I beg help from a few folks out there to give it a quick try to see if it works for them?

To recap the problem. If I use the cross transition effect in the app drawer I can move from screen to screen just fine. Both forward and backward. But I cannot either get an app to launch or long press either apps or widgets to install them on the desktop screen. It seems as if a swipe registers but a touch (either tap or hold) does not. Lastly since I doing this on my tablets I have the screen in landscape orientation.

(Excuse me for my bad English)
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
What you desire seems reasonable but I think that since you have the bar disabled your only option is exactly the behavior you describe. It has to be visible before it can be swiped down to show the notifications. I can tell you that if the bar is enabled a single swipe on the screen works correctly.

Hey, I'm new to Apex.

I was about to immigrate from Nova but I missed one major feature (for me) - overlapping of widgets.

---- just noticed it's premium features.. Too bad. ----

If you could add this kind of thing it will be great.

Except this, this launcher feels smoother (also doesn't have a little bug that I had in Nova.)

Is the RAM conception is lower here? (comparing to Nova of course)

Btw, I just love the tablet effect scroll, it's really nice!

This launcher has many great features, but are arranging the settings is needed (generally it's okay, compared to others it's not.)

Something else is the disk folder background (Nova has it).

I know I can add a custom one (awesome feature) but I don't know how to take it from Nova.

Thank you for this great launcher!

Hi. I got the pro license . I'm trying to put both my gmail and email apps in one folder named "email" but when u get an email u do not see a badge for unread over the folder it self. Only if I pen the folder I see the badge on top of the app I got the email in. This feature in enabled by default in nova launcher. Does anyone know if there is a specific setting I need to enable? I personally hide my taskbar and notifications are the only way for me to know if I got an email.* Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
There's a page in the settings just for notifications and a helper app in addition. Between those I'd think that you can get the results you want. The use of the word notifications is a bit misleading since those settings and the helper really deal with badges on apps.

[Android Apps and Games] m.a.s.e:
Hi Thanks for your response.

Before writing this I checked every feature of the notifications page and read the qa section of the help. I am still unable to add an unread badge notification to a folder that contain an app with a notification setting. Let me add two pictures while using nova launcher. As u can see in pic one I have a badge for unread indicating I have 1 unread an email. When I click on the "email" folder Icon it opens the folder where I can see which account I have an unread badge on. If I have on both email accounts unread mail in nova launcher when the folder is closed I will see a badge for the total unread email in both accounts together. Does that make sense?
[Android Apps and Games] jeebuz:
For the love of.... I have an HTC One and I installed Apex launcher before I flashed a custom ROM (was rooted though) and was able to maintain the transparent notification bar while in the launcher.

Now my question is... is this setting dependent on the presence of Prism.apk (Sense 5 launcher)? Because I cannot find that setting again after I flashed a ROM (RGUI) and a ROM cleaner that removed Prism.apk and other useless HTC stuff.

****EDIT****

Nevermind. Lol, answered my own question. Re-installed Prism and the setting magically appeared.

The transparent status bar only works on HTC devices running Sense ROMs (may require root) and the Galaxy S4 running TouchWiz.
