Multi window works just fine, on an SGS2 that is. Not Apex's fault also.
[Android Apps and Games] nsmart:
Sorry to quote myself, but on 1.4 beta 3 this bug is still there. I made two screenshots, one with v1.35 and one with v1.40. On the first screeshot you see how it should look like (v1.35). On the second screenshot the Icons (in row #4) are too close to the widgets (in row #3). If you use only icons, you don't notice it. But if you have a mixture of widgets and icons on your homescreeen the icons are too close to the bottom of the widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] ryanalan82:
Updated to newest beta, and in portrait, it had an extra character that u can't even edit out and its suppose to be there.

[Android Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
That's because you're using a font without the "complete" character set. If you change it for one which does contain all characters the rectangle will go away. Known issue, on every launcher by the way.

Hi, I'm having some trouble today with the latest beta 1.4.0beta3, and I'd like to roll back to the previous 1.4.0beta2.

Can someone kindly give me a direct link to beta 2 so I can download it again, please? The standard URL (http://apex.anddoes.com/Download.aspx?type=beta) only gives the latest beta.

Thanks!

Why can't we uninstall programs with the following steps when the desktop is locked ?

- go to drawer

- long press a program

- back on desktop, drop the program icon on uninstall.

same for the infos.

IMO, one should keep doing this with locked desktop.

[Android Apps and Games] hardtheory:
when you choose the "flip" transition, there a big bug that invert home screen !! so that when you click on icon on screen 2 for example, that open the icon on screen 4!

NB : this beta is very smooth , no scrolling lag !
[Android Apps and Games] stargate125645:
I don't know that that is a bug, but it should be an option. Widgets look better with icons when they start at the same height, and since widgets can be different heights than icons, it makes more sense to start them at the top, so I like the way it is now. But, I understand that some will not, so it should be an option to choose.
[Android Apps and Games] omniatic:
I'm finding a lot of bugs, too. Icons opening different programs and I can't remove them from the desktop. Restoring desktop data doesn't fix it. Non-existent widgets opening programs from a blank desktop. Using the flip transition. Restored beta 2 and all is well.

Guess that's the risk of betas. Will wait for the next one and hope it's fixed.

Thanks for your efforts, Apex is still the best.

Someone can confirm this ugly BUG?!

Wrong grid-Size for 10x10 grid -> Widgets are overlayed....

On my RAZR, since v.1.3.5, there is this ugly bad bug, please fix this...

On both versions, the settings are the same! Also changing, the limitations of the widgets didn't solve this problem.

Here u see 10 * 1x1 minimal TextWidgets, so see whats wrong...
[Android Apps and Games] eRPeeX:
After reboot multi window works. But home screen is non responsive. Not one icon can be used. I use the flip over transition. I read that is possible the reason.

Restored my backup.

I am experiencing the bug on beta 3 as well. I will touch an app shortcut and it will open another app. And other app shortcuts don't do anything. I figured out that it my main homepage is acting like my second homepage. For example, I touch my Facebook app shortcut located in the lower right quadrant of my main homepage, but it opens chrome which is located in the lower right quadrant of my second homepage.

Anyways, beta 3 is pretty much unusable for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Anrikus:
In my case the "touch this app, launch something else"-bug was transmission related.

With the Flip transmission I'm getting this behavior, no transmission effect is working fine for me, also tablet transmission is working fine.

Not sure if other transmissions are buggy too.

Tested on Nexus7, Portrait grid: 9x7, screen orientation = default with 4 homescreens, infinite crolling enabled, no alpha effects and single screen wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] gpzbc:
I can confirm that setting the home screen transition to "none" fixes the bug. I guess this is a work around until the dev can fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ttrain721:

[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Same bug on my tablet but it seems it's only the flip transition is buggy with this misbehaving desktop. All other transitions work fine. Another thing, using flip transition, if you open screen preview or app drawer and back to the desktop, it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Ttrain721:
I have it set to none but I still have a black background with a blue divider line.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Try this.

Home screen settings > Hide shadows

Dock settings > Hide divider

The lastest version causes widgets not to function when the swiping between screens. Can still double tap and long press for menus and the dock still works. In fact tapping the app drawer in the dock then going back to the homescreen everything functions again. However having the app drawer icon on the homescreen (not the dock) does not function after swiping screens. Reverting back to stable solved all problems. Xoom EOS 160 4.2.1 ROM.

Weird bug with beta 3 !

I have the "Feuilleter" animation with 3 screens. When i click on a widget or an icon on the screen, the action launched is actually the one which would have been on the screen on the right !

Therefore, when i click on a icon, the music starts because of a widget on the right screen ^^'

Really annoying as you can see :p
[Android Apps and Games] gpzbc:
As you can see, you are not alone. Choosing a different transition fixes the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] blade30p:
Why not just buy appmonster pro from the play store? It automatically backs up every single app & if you do update an app ie, Apex you can then go into the back ups & pick any version you like. It's about $2 & I couldn't flash a new Rom without it.

Trying Apex now

I tried a bunch of launchers to get to what I want: a launcher that lets me set individual folder / shortcut / app shortcut icons and hide away things like dock, status bar as the tablet (7" allwinner A13) is for my 3 year old daughter.

Apex seemed great at first, but the icons on the home screen are way too small (about 50% the size of icons on the stock 4.0.4 ICS launcher). I would love to know how to reset these to their full size as they are pretty difficult to see!

I installed the 1.4.0 beta 3 to get the icon resize functionality, but that just makes the icons kinda fuzzy. So I went from good quality full size icons on stock launcher, to very small good quality icons on apex and now back to large, poor quality icons. It seems that the icon resize functionality in 1.4.0 beta 3 is doing exactly that: resizing them, rather than using the original sizes!

Also, a small bug (seems to be): I created a folder on the home screen with 4 shortcuts inside: The apex settings icon, the drawer icon, es file explorer icon and the system settings icon). When I click on that folder the first time after a reboot, it opens fine. Second time, it opens but the folder and its contents are invisible!! How do I know it's opening, because it hides the folder icon and you can randomly press in the area of where the folder normally opens and the shortcut will activate the app in question.

Otherwise, a very good launcher.

I am on a DROID RAZR M with jb 4.1.1

Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
There are 2 main causes for this.

1. Your theme has no icon set for that app.

2. You've manually changed something about the homescreen item. It doesn't matter if it's the icon itself or just the text, once you edit the item, it's set as a custom item and doesn't get overridden by themes. Default or recreate any items like this in order to get the theme working on them again.
[Android Apps and Games] timpohladthomas:
I will answer by number.

1. That could be the case since when I try to change icon by choosing icon pack it does not show any icons. However, I had it working with jelly bean on my s2 before...but it was rooted...so I don't know.

2. I am talking about the icons in the app drawer...not the dock or home screens.
[Android Apps and Games] pacoguevara:
Just figured it out. I imported desktop from another launcher and desktop icons wouldn't change when I applied a theme. Had to delete and add again for them to change. Somehow importing makes the launcher think the icon has been edited.

Can someone tell me what was done from the 1.4.0 beta3 to the 1.4.0 stable?

I installed 1.4.0 when it was released on the 18th... I thought my ROM just decided to start crapping out on me even tho it was the BEST my phone has felt on any ROM kernel combo... I thoroughly used it on the 19th running the same ROM... Then I found a new rom to try out... Had some lag so I changed kernels to the one I was using on the previous ROM... Still had lag... I spent all day (the 20th) with this ROM and was thinking the ROM just isn't as smooth as the other one... But before switching, I remembered that the other ROM was starting to lag too... So I decided to give the beta3 a try again since that was running smooth on the other ROM... I just installed beta3 and holy hell, my phone is flying again...

Any ideas why 1.4.0 stable would slow my entire phone down whereas 1.4.0 beta3 works flawlessly? I didnt change any settings or icons/widgets... It just seems to run using less memory than stable...

Sorry no logcat or anything else to contribute for diagnosing... Just reporting what I experienced!

[Android Apps and Games] Zelig:
Found a small bug......

I have "Home key to default screen" ticked on.

Then for my Home key action, I use "Show Notifications".

In most cases it works as expected.

However, if I start on my default homescreen and then open APEX SETTINGS and then hit the Home Key (once), Apex jumps back to my default screen AND pulls down the Notifications draw.

That is, it behaves as if I had pressed the Home key TWICE.

Same if I start on my default homescreen and go into the ICS Recent Apps and then hit the Home Key to exit the Recent Apps. Instead of just exiting the Recent Apps back to my default homescreen, I also get the notification draw being pulled down.

So far, this only seems to happen with APEX SETTINGS and ICS Recent Apps.

If I start on my default homescreen and open an App and then hit the Home Key, I go back to my default homescreen as expected. Same if I open SETTINGS or the App Drawer.

If I am not on my default homescreen and open APEX SETTINGS or ICS Recent Apps, then hitting the home key takes me back to my default homescreen.

I am testing this as I am typing...... and I just found that if I a start on a different (non-default) homescreen and go into any app or the App Drawer and then hit the home key, then I don't go back to my DEFAULT homescreen. I go back to the same homescreen I was last on when I opened the app or app drawer.

It seems the home key only takes me back to my DEFAULT homescreen from APEX SETTINGS, ICS Recent Apps or from another homescreen.

[Android Apps and Games] Zelig:
I have commented on this on the User Voice.

If we could put 1x1 Widgets in the Dock then you could use SMS Unread Count Widget (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kanokgems.smswidget&hl=en) to give you the counters you are looking for.

Of course, if you don't need them in the dock, SMS Unread Count Widget works already with Apex, but it means having two icons for Dialer, Messaging and GMail etc which is not as good as replacing the Dock icon with the widget (which gives you both the counter and acts as the dock shortcut to the related app).

Dennis, is there some technical reason why Widgets are not allowed in the Dock as no ICS launcher seems to allow this ????
