I have a strange behavior with Facebook Messenger.

When i set "Hide Notification Bar" in Apex the Notification Bubble of the Facebook Messenger does not show up (or only for a mili second) when a new message arrives. Enabling the Notification Bar in Apex, the bubble of Facebook Messenger shows up and stays until further action.

[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...there are always an option in Zooper to force update if the widget auto update didn't work...

I don't have any problem using Zooper in this launcher (previous and latest beta) even if i don't tick force update in Zooper...

I use Apex Pro and when I change icons manually those items are "stuck" and don't change anymore when I use the Design-function. How can I reset those icons?
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Remove the app from your homescreen then re-add the app...the app icon will change when you apply any icon pack from apex themes...

@dennisxl

Hello,

I've found a nasty bug in Apex Beta 1 & 2.

if you set the following in the Drawer, one can draw no widgets or app icons from the drawer

to the homescreen and does not scroll in the Drawer (scroll up or down in Drawerstyle: "Vertical continuously")

(affected Tabs: Downloaded Apps or Widgets, first Tab Apps, no probs)

The error occurs when setting the following (Drawer Settings):

- Drawerstyle: "Vertical continuously"

- Transition effect - "Cross"

- connect Drawer rider - wipe from Tab to next Tab

The error also only occurs on pads (LG GPad V500 with KK Mahdi Rom & CM11/Aosp), on my S4 works all fine.

Hope it can be fixed in next version, i love this Transition effect - "Cross". :good:

Best Regards

Ok 1 problem solved(text in app/shortcut menu no longer dark). Now only issue i have is the swipe down gesture not working properly. I have it set to show notifications on swipe down and i have to swipe twice to get dropdown to come all the way down. This is a must for me since i hide the status bar.

[Android Apps and Games] fbf2201:
I don't get why people are so crazy about ART. Is still experimental and has just a neglectable benefit in speed.

On top you can't use apps like xposed framework anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] aZoed:
It's the same curiosity that makes you install a Beta release for Apex! I want to try it out on my unrooted nexus 7, but it's not fun if my launcher isn't gonna support the thing.
[Android Apps and Games] Duvel999:
Maybey more people noticed, that when updating Apex Launcher 2.1.0 to 2.2.0..

The Apex App drawer Icon background isn't 100% transparant anymore on the Home-screen.

It's more grey like KK Launcher.

I'm on 4.3 stock rom.

Any Idea?

Mine is like that too since installing latest beta, hopefully this is returned like it was before. I am using CM11.
[Android Apps and Games] weezlerox:

Looks transparent to me, perhaps it is to do with the ROM? I am using stock JB on LG O4X
[Android Apps and Games] snoozer854:
I just tried something, changed to a different theme and drawer transparency is back to normal.
[Android Apps and Games] weezlerox:
solid colour?

Just solid grey or a grey tint of your wallpaper?

100% should be black, 0% should be fully transparent, everything else should be an appropriate shade of grey tint somewhere in between
[Android Apps and Games] snoozer854:
With the theme I was using at 100% the background was solid gray. At 0% full transparent.

Since switching to another theme it is working like it has for the past 2 years.

Hmmm...first of all, there no app drawer in the homescreen...what you are referring base on your screenshot is the folder background not app drawer background...

if you want to make it fully transparent then just pick "None" in folder settings/folder icon background and folder background tranparency set it to 0%....
[Android Apps and Games] Frankie73:
I know, I updated both, the launcher and the notifier.
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but I think that feature was available even before today's update.

Goto: Apex settings > Drawer settings > Manage drawer

Just press the trashcan icon for the one(s) you want to eliminate.
[Android Apps and Games] ximmox:
Yeah, quite right, but what we meant was not to eliminate one of many Drawer-Tabs (that works exactly as you described), but to delete also the very last tab "All".

If we don't use any special drawer groups and don't use widgets as a tab in the drawer, this only wastes space, as I know that my App Drawer contains "All" apps on the device. So a way to get rid of it would be a nice feature. :good:

Apex Notifier support Aqua Mail?
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
The bolded changelog statement above is not 100% accuarate. Although it is true that the unreadable app/shortcut picker text (reported here) is now fixed, the style is still different from the Apex actions and Widgets selections. Not a high priority item, since the usability issue has been fixed. However, it should still be addressed (or at least documented, if there is some technical reason they need to be different).
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
Apex provides native support for AquaMail - Notifier not required. From the Apex Notifier app notes:

I can confirm that it works just fine.

ugly icons

Is there anyone who's having pixelated icons within the folders?:confused:

I have already posted this question but nobody answered yet.

I'm experiencing this issue since one month on my nexus 5. I had a s2 before, but I've never had this type of problem.

I tested Apex with the same settings on my girlfriend's galaxy note 3 and the icons are ok.
[Android Apps and Games] ximmox:
I suppose you restored your old config to your new Nexus 5, right?

Icons can appear pixelated then, because the "old" icons from your old setup are used. You can drag the icons from the drawer into your folders again after deleting them and they should be as clear as in the app drawer.

Maybe you can try that, it helped for some of my not so sharp icons in the dock after moving from the old Nexus 7 to the FullHD Nexus 7 2013. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] snalfio:
Thanks for the answer.

Btw no, i did not restored my old config, but i'll try to do what you wrote. thank you

But... I haven't stock email notifications at latest launcher + notifier. Gmail, calls, sms, battery notifications works but not stock email. Android 4.1.1, Alcatel onetouch 6030D.
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
I'd love to switch to Apex and about to hit the buy now button. Just curious though, can anyone else replicate the following behaviour:

- The slider/screen indicator appears underneath the nav bar when the dock is hidden.

- If you create a folder in the drawer and add apps to it and they will no longer appear in the drawer (which is great). Drag that folder onto your home screen. Now if you drag an additional app from the drawer to that folder, that app will still remain visible in the drawer.

Minor issues, but somewhat annoying. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] nxferenc:
Please add ability to hide drawer tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
There is an option on top left corner when you create folders in the drawer to whether keep the apps in the drawer tab or not. Now you can hid the app specifically in the drawer tab using hiding the app option. What I usually do is drag the app to the folder in the drawer first, then I drag that folder to the home screen so I can keep apps in sync. Now. NOVA launcher has a feature that when you drag app to folder either in drawer or home screen the launcher will sync the folder. Hopefully Apex will add that feature soon in the future update.

[Android Apps and Games] banderos101:
wondering if its possible to add another selection to long pressing an app in launcher, an "open with" option

The idea being that, selecting this would then give you an imediate option to open that app in another apps respective app page, for instance, i want to quickly titanium backup an app that is on the launcher screen, i long press the app, select "open with" then choose the required app at the time, in this case "titanium backup", and titanium backup would open app straight into that apps page screen where i can imediatly proceed to backup that app

im thinking third party apps would have to be complicent with this to work, so maybe a "simple" code that us users can make third party app developers be aware off, that the launcher will sent to these third party apps to identify the "open with" function AND the apps identification
[Android Apps and Games] Nucleotide:
I'm currently using Nova and that is how I was expecting Apex to function - but it doesn't. It's a little inconsistent.

Hopefully that and the screen indicator can be fixed sometime soon. Really keen to purchase but for now, I will stick with Nova and just keep a close eye on Apex. :)
[Android Apps and Games] paulyz:
I'm on N4 +PA4 + Apex 2.3.0 and I have problem, when I press HOME in program, I see small lag, before phone back to home screen, but if I press BACK - then No lag. In settings "keep apex launcher in memory" checked. I have 5 columns and 6 rows, google now disabled. Where is problem?

With stock launcher - no lag!
[Android Apps and Games] Frank Westlake:
This is a good idea -- the launcher can handle some of the minor tasks that are being done by file managers. The long-press currently has options to add an application, an activity, and an application-generated shortcut. Apex can add the option to add a shortcut to any file.

I currently do this on my device. I wrote a JavaScript host application and one of my scripts will create a shortcut on the desktop with an Intent created through selectors. In other words, I choose whether it should be opened with an editor, a viewer, something which will run it, or any of the other Intent ‘ACTION' options. My shortcut creator also has the option for me to give it the application's icon, an image in the file system, or an icon generated from a text string I input.

Those are all done when a custom shortcut is created -- what you are asking for is much simpler. Apex would read the Intent from the shortcut and remove the currently saved action before launching it so that the system will ask you what you want to do with it. This does not have much use with shortcuts of only applications and activities, except for your suggestion, which is why I'm adding the suggestion of a general shortcut builder. You could then, for example, create a shortcut to a picture; a short-press would open it in a viewer and with a long-press and selecting "open with" you could open it in an editor.

Forgetting Default Launcher?

Hi, So since the update my HTC One X (endeavoru) keeps forgetting what the default launcher is. I have cleared the cache and reset the settings on APEX but several times per hour I will have to select what my default launcher is. Is this to do with having the hardware home button? I've been using apex for a year or two with no problems.

[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Long time user, so first let me say THANK YOU for the awesome launcher and continued support & updates over the years

I have one request, and two questions:

Can you add the gesture "pinch out"? I have seen this on a few other launchers and it is a very useful gesture to launch an app. I would like to be able to use the "pinch in" and "pinch out" as my two main gestures, and I definitely feel it when the pinch out is missing. I prefer Apex over all launchers so this is very important to me.

Now, on to the questions:

When I use a portrait grid size larger than the default 4 x 4, such as 8 x8 or 10 x10 (preferred) it causes two issues I am hoping can be corrected

1. App icons are cut off on the left and right sides, so only a partial icon is seen. This makes it impossible to have icons on my screen as it ruins the aesthetic of the look.

2. A couple Google Play Store widgets (i.e. Widgets > Google Play Store > My library > My Newsstand) force close on any grid size other than 4 x 4 if you resize the widget to make the it full screen size (what would be 4 x 4 but is now 10 x 10). Can this be corrected, or is it on Google's end?

Again, thanks for the years of updates and support. I'd buy the app all over again, and again, and again.
