Great app and features.
[Android Apps and Games] Atomregen:
When I open the apex menu with the menu key (LMT) there is a representation error on nexus 6.

I suspect it has to do with the QH display, on Galaxy S4 it looks all fine.
[Android Apps and Games] tobitege:
Seems more like an issue with your ROM. Reboot and try again if the issue persists.
[Android Apps and Games] Atomregen:
I do not think it's ROM related. The error only occurs in the apex launcher.

In all other apps including nova launcher there is no display error behind the menu.

Having this super weird bug after the recent update on my Nexus 9. Done everything I can think of to fix it via settings but ran out of ideas. Emailed Dev but was hoping someone else was having the same issue and found a fix.

Still having issues with my app drawer folders. After a restart of Apex, the folders first open almost completely transparent. They open normal after that. Then when I come back to the app drawer later, folder backgrounds are completely transparent, and drawer background disappears.
[Android Apps and Games] cyberon:
A few things missing to better mimic LL are the overscroll and icon click effects.
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
Great update, except for one thing… a problem that existed two versions ago has re-emerged. That is, the first time a folder is accessed, it opens as nearly fully transparent, thus rendering it impossible to read or use. The second and subsequent access are always okay. It doesn't make a difference whether the folder is on a home screen or in the app drawer.

In case it's configuration sensitive, this is a Nexus 5 on 4.4.4, with Holo dark folder background style, 88% folder background transparency, and folder animation set to "scale." Strangely, if I set folder animation to "circle" (which I think is a new setting), the scenario reverses - that is, the first access of a folder opens fully opaque (just an empty box, with no icons visible). Second and subsequent access are okay. I have rebooted and retested the various scenarios, and the fault is 100% repeatable.

EDIT: Just noticed another problem - stutter in the vertical scrolling app drawer that did not exist in the previous version.

Same issue on my opo with cm11s and AK kernel, updated to 3.0.1. This issue seems happend if you have a certain app in the folder: with 4 app, for example, the folder open istantly, otherwise if I open a folder with 16 app or more the issue coming up.

[MENTION=2463901]dennisxl[/MENTION]

In the attached screenshot you can see better what happened when I open a folder after Apex restart or when I open it after a phone reboot.

Thanks for your hard work!

Still crashes a lot on my Motorola Droid 4 running CM11. Very often, when I run an app and press the home button, Apex crashes and it takes ages for the homescreen to appear. I couldn't find anything interesting in my logcat. Maybe apps that use plenty of memory cause the FCs? (I set Apex is to stay in memory)
[Android Apps and Games] oppy:
Update seems to have helped a lot on my Nook. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
Agreed. Since the 3.0.1 update, the "almost total transparent folder content upon first opening" issue only happens on one folder now… and it happens to be my largest folder, with 17 apps. Next largest is 7, and it (AWA all others) work fine now.

The stutter problem with vertical scrolling app drawer is still there (and did not exist prior to v3.0). Scrolling cache is (and was) already disabled. Just for laughs I tried re-enabling it, but n/c. No other changes made except update to Apex 3.0/3.0.1.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 AM ----------

The option is still there. Just set Drawer background style to "No card."
[Android Apps and Games] comstar:
Why not try both and let us know
[Android Apps and Games] arlaor:
Ok . I do it :D
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Seems to happen to me regardless of the amount of apps I have in the folder.
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
Another thing I've noticed since the 3.0 update:

Backgound handling is different when opening folder, depending on whether the folder is on homescreen or in app drawer. On homescreen, background is unchanged; in app drawer, background (i.e., behind the open folder) is dimmed (darkened) ~ 50%. This is fine if one is using the new "light card" background in drawer, since it prevents white on white when opening folder that also has light background. However, it is an issue in most other scenarios. Since there is only one transparency setting for open folders, it is now impossible to set a value that looks right for open folders on home screen and drawer.

Obviously, this could be fixed by adding a second folder transparency setting. However, I think this would be a bad move, for two reasons:

Likelihood of negative reviews on Play Store from people who don't bother to read.

Probable increase in "nuisance" support emails from people who don't understand.

IMO, the preferable way of handling this would be to add code that if both a "light card" drawer and light (or "light theme") folder background were configured, to keep the current behavior of dimming the drawer background when opening folders in the drawer. Any other scenario should leave the drawer background alone.

BTW, this also seems to be related to the folder transparency issue. See the three images below.

This shows the result upon first opening a folder with a large number of entries (in drawer). Note that it is almost transparent, and thus unusable.

This shows the same folder being opened a second time. Note the dimmed background, which does not happen if the same folder is opened from the home screen.

Here is the same folder upon being opened after exiting and re-opening the drawer. Note that the drawer background is not dimmed. This is how I believe it should behave unless both a light drawer and folder background are selected.

The catalyst for #3 seems to be invoking the transparency issue. Once that happens, and the drawer is exited and re-entered, all folders will open w/o the background dimming. HTH and GL!

Hangouts wrong counter

I have hangouts configured as sms client.

In attached picture you see +999 received hangouts messages, but I only received 1 sms

I have Xperia Z2 with stock ROM & kernel, rooted, XPosed, nothing special, Apex 3.0
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
That's one way. I did it by directly editing build.prop.
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
Arghh, just discovered another problem! Since the transparency issue only occurs with large folders (since 3.0.1), I thought I would temporarily fix the problem by removing apps from the problematic folder to bring it below the problem threshold. That's when I discovered that the folder "Edit" function, access by tapping the overflow icon on an open folder within the drawer, does not function. The app picker menu with checkboxes comes up okay, but unchecking an app and tapping SAVE does nothing. I tried rebooting afterwards too, but no difference.

Here's a clue as to what the problem might be though…

Only large folders (i.e., exceeding 'X' number of apps) triggers the first-open transparency issue, AND, only these same folders (within app drawer) cannot be edited. Edit function works fine on all other folders.
[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
UPDATE: Okay, I have a workaround until such time as [MENTION=2463901]dennisxl[/MENTION] can come up with a permanent fix.

Since I couldn't edit the large (17 app) folder, I decided to remove it and start over again from scratch. The first thing I discovered was that after removing the problematic folder, both the first-open folder transparency and the vertical scrolling app drawer stutter issues went away! I recreated the folder as before, and although both issues returned, I could now edit the folder. So, I removed apps one by one, and found that the "magic numbers" seems to be 7 and 9. That is, the vertical scrolling app drawer stutter goes away as long as no folder within the drawer exceeds 7 apps; the first-open transparency issue described by many here goes away if no folder contains > 9 apps (I don't use nested folders, and didn't test for it). The issue I described in my earlier post (#3, images 2 &3) persists, but that's a lesser problem (though still one I'd like to see fixed).
[Android Apps and Games] mtbooker:
Just want to second that I am having the same issue on 4.4.2.
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
My issue started with the 3.0.0 beta 5 update. Even with only 4 apps in a folder, I still get the issue. The edit/save features still work for me though. My largest folder is only 11 apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Trenchor:
Still having the same problem.. Anybody knows the solution? I know you are working hard on the new apex versions. But I paid for the app and it would be great if someone could hepl me...

I took pics of the missing apps...

Thanks for the help!

:facepalm: White theme... Why this thing is not option "dark or white"?
[Android Apps and Games] daniel_m:
I desperately tried to capture a logcat that shows Apex force closing, but I didn't succeed. It looks like it just doesn't force close. But then, I don't know why it feels so terribly slow after the update to 3.01? Like I stated before, very often when I press the home button, Apex seems to be frozen or re-load for roughly 5-10 seconds. Very disturbing ...

Is there a way to download an older version of Apex Launcher Pro from the Play store? Apex is re-loading and crashing all the time on CM11 and it's driving me crazy and it consumes battery power :(

I assume that v2.7.0 was the last version from the Play store that didn't crash.

(On my old phone running CM10.2, Apex v3.0.1 runs flawlessly)
[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
Here you go.
[Android Apps and Games] daniel_m:
Thanks a lot! And also thank you, fcasoli!

I will downgrade tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] daniel_m:
Alright, I downgraded to v2.7 and it seems to be snappier. So far it is to early to say whether 3.0.1 is crashing or whether there is something weird with my phone.

One thing I noticed though: Whithout an internet connection (WiFi), v3.0.1 was almost as responsive and stable as I remember v2.7.

Is there something wrong with the licensing mechanism (DRM)?

Something else that I find courious is a re-initializing activity (shown as "re-initialized" by Cool Tool). I don't know if it is caused by Apex and I noticed it with v2.7 as well, but I noticed it much more often with 3.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] VoluntaryMan:
Shouldn't disabling folder titles also hide the extra space?
[Android Apps and Games] freddienuxx:
This is the best update by far. Looking good on my NEXUS 6

[Android Apps and Games] HDFLucky:
If you think this is the best update you must not use many of the features. I don't know of a single person with large folders in the app drawer that work properly… and the developer either doesn't give a damn or isn't subscribed to his own thread. Many people complaining on Google Play also.
[Android Apps and Games] VoluntaryMan:
Calm down, you can always use an older version if you care so much about your one niche feature...
[Android Apps and Games] TEK112:
Would you please post a tutorial in the general section to show all of the screenshot happy weirdos out there how to do what you just did? The toggle for the photos is awesome and makes it so much easier for people like me who run off of a tablet and netbook when I am away from my main PC. It makes viewing the site so much easier and it is less content to load when you are tethering.

Good job posting!

dennisxl you should set your self up a pay pay donation link to your profile.

I bet there's others who would be happy to donate to you too ;)

Oh yeah and let's get to the market place for next update, that would be great :D

[Android Apps and Games] semsem1969:
overall the launcher is very nice but some widget can not be added for example Accu weather for Honeycomb which it works fine on the default ics launcher.....

i really like so please try to fix this issue ...

again thank you for this nice launcher.

[Android Apps and Games] mulletcutter:
Don't know if this has be said b4, but what about open recent apps for double let tab desktop. Launcher is running smooth.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Thanks for reporting this issue. It is caused by the new multi-language support. Will be fixed in the next version.

Yes, this is intentional. Gestures are supposed to work on the desktop only in the first place. Also, enabling gestures on drawers may have conflicts with further drawer customizations that we're working on.

No need to long press again or re-enter the hidden apps screen. Just hit the cancel button and you'll see the save button again.

Can you post any screenshots?

Will consider dock gestures in future versions.

The unlock desktop is not hidden on purpose, in case you somehow can't unlock it.

You can expect an option to control the overscroll effect in the next version.

Can you scroll back to the default screen when that happens? Also, have you tried v0.6?

I'm afraid that's not possible. The persistent search bar is not part of any homescreen, and that's also why you don't see it in the previews.

Thanks for the screenshots. Apex does not yet handle custom DPI settings well, but we'll look into this.

Said this a few times before. Please do a clean install if you updated all the way from an early version (pre v0.5).

It looks like Apex is in phone mode on your tablet. With limited time and resources, we only had the chance to test it on larger tablets like the Transformer Prime.

Thanks for the video. I just tried to reproduce this issue on my Galaxy Nexus but no success. Could you try the following? Remove the app and re-install it. Do not add anything to the homescreen, do not change any settings, and do not restore any backup. Add a Youtube widget to one of the homescreens and try the swiping gestures. Please let me know how that goes.

Thanks. Have been thinking about a paid pro version in the future, but right now, the focus is still on the free version.

Have you tried v0.6?

Again, there's no public API to show recent apps. It's part of SystemUI.

Fade side page while transition

This can be found in trebuchet and make the cube transition more perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] a4840639:
0.6 is awesome, way better than anything else

I found a few minor problems;

1,The haptic feedback of app drawer button is much stronger than stock/Nova launcher on my Galaxy Nexus.

2,There isn't animation after you draged an app drawer item onto home screen whlie there is on stock/Nova launcher.

3,Landscape mode will automatically hide icon labels.
[Android Apps and Games] 09989:
FIRST,thanks for your job.

1、Can't made folder in the drawer.

Some app I needn't hide it,but rarely used,if I can made folder,and put it in. fell good!

2、0.6(1330K) is bigger than 0.5(880K),I think it should optimizate it. I know 0.6 have more language support.

3、 Or we can add a System app in the drawer, I think we rarely use the system app(just like Calculator or Phone Icon..).
[Android Apps and Games] demo23019:
Thank you dennisxl

Tablet transition is now complete this is now best launcher :D

It takes allot for me to part with nova and this is it

Few more request

ability to change folder background

(in mean time can add manually to apk)

And when selecting to hide icon labels can u make it so folder icons still have labels.

Also width margin setting for desktop(small medium large)

Actually I consider this bug as a features, I use a higher dpi on tablet so bigger font, but on the homescreen I like them to be smaller, if we could chose the font size it would be even better IMHO. Thanks for this wonderful launcher, my daily driver now.
[Android Apps and Games] PurpleFries:
I had apex installed as a system app, and I got the update notification and downloaded the new version, installing the apk normally. My apex launcher is now in /data/app but I can add Widgets to my home screen from the drawer as I always could from the system method.

Don't be so quick to judge. No flaming, and it's not just one issue. Look back over the last several pages of this thread. I painstakingly tested, described, and provided a partial workaround. I know it's the holidays, and I know these things take time. But it would have been nice to have at least seen an acknowledgement from the OP… here or on Play Store (where I did not post, so those are all other users with issues).

I love what this launcher has been capable of, and I only want it restored to its former glory.
