OK, another visual bug.

How to reproduce it:

1) open app drawer

2) tap another tab (second or third)

3) tap the first tab

4) try to 'overscroll' the app drawer by swiping right

The picture on the left.

Now repeat steps 1-3 but this time:

4) swipe left to go to subpage 2 of the app drawer

5) swipe right

6) try to 'overscroll' the app drawer by swiping right

The picture on the right. This is how it should always animate, even if you overscroll the app drawer right after coming back from the second/third tab.

The latest beta screwed over my app drawer (on tablet) and I can't fix it >_<

This is the stock launcher app drawer, and how I want apex's grid to look.

This is how apex looks now:

This new grid came with the last update and I hate it >_< please bring back how the horizontal pages is supposed to look.

Have you tried updating to the latest beta?
[Android Apps and Games] stick1300:
Man, I've been extremely happy with Apex for a while now, but finally getting custom app drawer grid is just icing on the cake! I remember being bummed it wasn't included originally, but adjusted quickly and got things setup how I like them, thanks to custom groups. But, being able to condense my main app list from three pages to two is great!

I am with u. The New grid is ugly.

Just updated to new beta4, love the new jb animations and its quite smother now.

But one thing is wierd: The appdrawer opening animation is so much laggier than before. Any other one noticed this?

I'm on a htc desire with Spazedog ICS 0.9

Using beta4 pro. No problems, but screen transition seems slower than normal version. Drawer seems fine though.
[Android Apps and Games] jj92942000:
Been using apex pro going back to 1.2.0 if not earlier on SGS with Elite's roms 1st ics now jb .. never had issues because of the app. Now it's smooth as Butter so much so I prefer it over SGS3 new touchwiz.

Yes, but the problem still exists.

The KB animation on my Amaze is a little less than smooth, but with the zoom transition animation, and the window speed in developer options set to .5 and transition animation set to 1.0, it's very smooth and I'm loving it!

My only problem is that now my Widgetlocker animation is gone and now uses the opening animations from Apex. Kind of a big problem, but not a deal breaker.

Overall, it makes my phone happy.

guys does apex allow for customizing the number off app visible in the app drawer i get 4x5

i want something like this another launcher

are there settings im missing on the free version or are settings like this not possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Emir5kurt:
Yes since the latest beta4, you can customize it in the drawer settings.
[Android Apps and Games] xZise:
Is it possible to scroll vertically the drawer content (maybe to add the feature)? And a “gestureoption” to lock the screen (not the content) would be nice, for example if you swype down.

Nevertheless it is working great here and I have my “drawer on swype up” back!

Yeah I know. My bad. I may have posted in haste as well. Trying a different Kernel and haven't had the issue occur yet.

I it does happen again I'll post the logs. In the meantime I've edit my original post.
[Android Apps and Games] IE-coRe:
Hi. First of all i love your launcher, it is the best and smoothest ICS based launche of them all.

If i change the screen density of my xperia Play running ICS to 160 (stock is 240) the transition animation looks like on Android tablets. (attached screenshots)

It would be awesome if i could have this tranisition animation as an option in your launcher without changing the screen density. I know trebuchet has something similar but there tablet like transition animation does not have the blue border so it look much less fancy.

Endless Thanks.:)

How I can translate this app?

[Android Apps and Games] droidgren:
Yes, of course.
[Android Apps and Games] sweetnsour:
I don't know whether this is a bug or a feature, but I'm guessing it is a bug. With infinite scrolling and elastic scrolling unchecked under the homescreen settings:

1. Scroll to the outermost screen (either all the way to the left or right) and try to scroll past it. The blue overscroll glow should show and the screen should tilt.

2. Open the app drawer. If you look carefully at how the screen fades away, you should see that it fades off to one side (if you are on the leftmost screen, it should fade off to the right, and if you are on the rightmost screen, it should fade off to the left; basically, it fades towards the center).

This is not the case if you scroll to the outermost screen and not try to scroll past it (no overscroll or tilt effect). If you just scroll to the outermost screen without trying to go past it, the app drawer opens normally (as in the screen fades directly backwards and not off to a side).

Is this a bug or a feature?

ApexLauncher.apk is already in system app. Pushed it via adb.

But still cannot use Widgets in drawer. Any help? Tried rebooting, but does not seem to work.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Currently using Nova but Apex had me sold with more features than Nova. Adding scrollable dock would be wonderful.

I installed it as user app but still have widgets in drawer. My pure luck?

Can you drag those widgets from drawer to homescreen ?

I have it as a system app, but still can't drag em' .
[Android Apps and Games] browngeek:
Hmm, in that case you may need to factory reset.

I had backed everything up with Titanium Backup. Did a factory reset and then restored everything, apart from Apex (including system apps and all data) and everything was back to normal. I then installed the latest beta.

I know you are not supposed to restore system apps (and data) but in this case it seemed to work.

Beta 4 bug in overscroll effect!!

There seems to be a new bug introduced in beta 4. When you scroll to the last screen in the far right or far left of the home screen, you get a reverse scroll effect. This is for the tablet transition for home. This used to give the correct overscroll effect in beta 3 as well as the stock launcher in jellybean.

Will appreciate if this is fixed in the next beta, so that the scroll behavior in tablet transition is consistent with jellybean/ics.

:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] funkyblue04:
Just wondering when the search bar size will be fixed? Still not the same in latest beta.

It should match JB exactly.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
I really don't think a handful of pixels in width really constitutes an issue

At the end of the day, Apex is NOT the stock JB launcher - it has the JB style search bar, the actual size doesn't have to match exactly as it's a different app and therefore you should accept that it is a different size.

There are far more important issues/features that need fixing/tweaking/adding than just stretching the search bar to suit one member.

IMO, just get over it!
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
Well while it didn't particularly bother me... I could see his point in wanting it to look like stock jb considering its based off stock jb...

I was gonna suggest that it could just be a simple dimens.xml edit to fix that... but then I checked on the latest beta4 and the spacing is now identical to stock jb... so that post is mute anyways!

Guys do pro version does not allow to change the icon of a shortcut on desktop ?

I see the change of removing app has been moved to the top of the screen and i can only resize a widget not shortcut.

Like the normal version used to give a pop up wimdow while long pressing a shortcut on desktop with 4 options (remove,esize,info and forgot the 4th) pro version does not give that pop up :/

Or do i need to check something from the settings ?

Sent from my HTC One X
[Android Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
This is no problem. First long-press an icon, choose the second option in the popup (here in Dutch, should be "Edit" or something like that in English). Second, press the icon image itself on the left when the next screen opens and substitute for your own :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
He's more asking how to resize a shortcut / app.

Not implemented yet, despite the fact that it is one of the most popular request.

You can vote for it here : http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/f...feedback/suggestions/2697836-change-icon-size

But the Dev said it is not top priority ...

Edit : The following might be ROM related, latest CM10 seems to have some issues, so it may not be relevant to Apex

(As for Beta 4, wallpaper settings are completely ****ed up.

I can't enable the wallpaper scrolling (multiple scrolling), it is stuck to single, and worst is that when you want to re-apply a wallpaper, it says it can't crop the image.

Clearing cache and data did not make it work better ...)

[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Testing Beta4. Everything is working great on phone. Wallpaper is scrolling properly. But a couple of issues on my 7-inch tablet. Wallpaper doesn't scroll. There is no transition effect from the last screen to the first screen and vice versa. It just shows an empty screen then the whole screen content is blasted on. I set Infinite scrolling to Bounce.
[Android Apps and Games] LokiBartleby:
homescreen content disappears

I have the very same problem on my SGS3 under various circumstances.

Last time it happened after I turned the phone from landscape to portrait. All homescreens are empty, although I can swipe through 'em and with the wallpaper still visable. And I have to push a button to get back all the homescreen icons/widgets. This never happened with beta3, so I guess it's a bug.

When I first encountered this problem I thought it was the old homescreen redraw issue, but it's different, as the homescreen content completely disappears until I push a button.

SGS3, not rooted, no Custom ROM
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi

In last beta (and previous) when i add a gesture to a dock

Icon to open a Simi folder, the Simi folder is opened at the

Screen top.

This is not correct.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Serpico.:
Seeing the same on ASUS Infinity. It's a beta so I'm sure the dev is making notes on it as we speak :good:!

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

I noticed this as well. Did a restart and a cache clear but that didn't improve the tablet transition "skittish" effect. It reminds me of when you first switch on a device and it is doing a lot of updates (I/O off the board) and the screen transitions lag.

I'm sure it will be corrected at some point.

just installed this on my toshiba thrive, everything seems to be working fine except i cant get it to change number of homescreens. When i try it, it shows the homescreens, no icons but I can't do anything in it, like remove/add screens

not sure if this is a problem with apex or if im not doing it right
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Are you sure you are not looking at the preview screens? Manage screens should have an add button, and to remove a screen, hold it and drag to the remove button at the top. One way to access manage screens is through Apex settings >> Home screen settings >> Manage screens.
[Android Apps and Games] carlos67:
Hmm, v1.2.5 was buttery smooth on sgs3 ICS but just tried updating to 1.3.0 beta 4 and the homescreen scrolling became juddery, almost robotic like. Not lagging as such, just strange juddery transitions. It was fine in app drawer though.

Back to 1.2.5 for me because it is super smooth scrolling. Not even any micro lags even when pushing it hard.

It may be because latest beta 4 has been optimised for JB and not ICS???
[Android Apps and Games] trapperjohn:
Hi,

I am not able to move icons from one scree to another by dragging. The homescreen lock option is not enabled I can long press an icon and drag it to the edge of the screen, and it just stays there I do not see the next screen scroll into view.

I have tried this with the current release and beta versions.

Thanks for any help,

Bryan

If Infinite Scrolling is not enabled, you cannot move the icon past the last screen. Just a thought.

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Have you tried wiping settings and reconfiguring it? I had FCs with vertical continuous when I initially updated, but they stopped when I went through and redid all my settings.
[Android Apps and Games] tvBilly:
I did when I installed beta 2, but not since then; I'll try again this afternoon and see if that fixes things.
[Android Apps and Games] eyeb:
I just tried again I don't see those options. I'd take a screenshot but i can't find one where it works on the thrive (mine isn't rooted)

but the screen is dimmed a bit, showing the homescreen (number 4, since i launched settings from that screen) but I can't move it or anything, all i can do is press the home key/back/windows buttons on the notification bar

edit: i found a way to manage screens :) I had to add the apex menu widget to the homescreen then use the manage screen setting under there. I couldn't get the manage screens to work if selecting from the apex settings>homescreen settings>manage screens route. is this a bug on the thrive?

beta4 battery drain

Did anyone else noticed a somewhat unusual heavy battery drain with beta4?

Since I installed it I can watch my SGS3 go down in a just a few hours. :/

And as the new Apex beta4 is the only new app I've installed during the last days that stays opened, I believe it _may_ causes this issue.

[edit]I forgot to mention that the battery stats don't show Apex to be any kind of suspicous. (Thx to HardyPL for reminding me of that fact.)

I will further investigate this behavior and see if it's really connected to Apex in any way (never had any similar issues with it before).
[Android Apps and Games] :
I confirm that, though the battery report card doesn't imply Apex involvement.
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
I've put Apex beta 4 on my girlfriends s3 and while she does complain that the battery drains quite fast, again, battery history shows apex using only 2% over around ~10 hours

Can try and get logs from her phone if needed (if possible on a non rooted phone)

[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Main battery killer is the screen. Next is the radios, then the SoC/CPU. And yes, rogue apps can cause the CPU to spike and waste cpu cycles and battery life. But I can assure you Apex, or most launchers don't hit battery life. I guess check your widgets and/or app polling time(s).
[Android Apps and Games] oddspec:
I may be wrong but on a non rooted phone if u install an after market launcher doesn't the stock launcher keep running as a background process hence the phone is running two launchers ?
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
It definitely is. I don't know how much more battery that sucks up so I just remove all my widgets (from the stock launcher) just in case. If you never set one as a default you get asked which one you want to go to every time you push "home". I'm rooted but I always keep the stock one around for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] wso277:
If you set a default and reboot i dont think it keeps on running.
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
I'm thinking of going back to the stable version, this beta after opening other apps disappears and has to be restarted. Not sure why.
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
Have you tried checking "keep in memory"?
[Android Apps and Games] tvBilly:
I wiped all the settings and I no longer get FCs with vertical continuous anymore :good:, but the scrolling in the app drawer is pitiful; very sluggish and un-Apex like. The other app drawer scrolling modes seem to work fine. I went back to 1.2.5 Pro.
[Android Apps and Games] ketani73:
Tried on with beta4 but i think it is draining more battery than the stable 1.2.5 version & so going back to my dear stable version !!

Can't understand why nobody is asking the Dev to fix the JellyBean scrolling transparency bug. :confused::confused:

It's by far the biggest issue on the s3 for JB at the moment. Same problem with Nova. Literally thousands of users running JB Rom's having to suffer Touchwiz because Apex has this bug on JB.

Please fix.
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
Not sure what you mean. I'm running JB and Apex. What is the scrolling transparency bug?
[Android Apps and Games] itandy:
Using the 1.30 beta 4 and found that:

Home screen transition lags a lot if "Multiple screen (scrolling)" is chosen in Wallpaper mode

Scrolling in app drawer lags a lot if "Vertical continuous" is chosen

I remember it used to be butter smooth before. Hope it can be fixed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] NexonAmerica:
The missed calls count doesn't seem to show up for me. I've enabled it under Advanced Settings and chose the correct phone app (the one that I have in the dock). Also restarted multiple times (both apex launcher and my phone) and it still won't work. I'm on JB btw and using the 1.30 beta 4. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] hells_dark:
I have a problem with it too : I changed the call app, I have the call count on the dock icon. Alright.

But it never disappears until I open the default call application :(
[Android Apps and Games] carlos67:
When scrolling screens, any transparent widgets you have on your screens as you scroll through them will become temporarily UN-transparent whilst scrolling. The moment you stop scrolling they become transparent again. It looks Fugly.

Doesn't happen in ICS Roms, just JB. In fact every leaked JB Rom has this issue, lots and lots of people who would normally use Apex or Nova cannot use it because of this unsightly bug. Just have a search on Omega Rom thread for example and you will see it mentioned lots of times.

Needs to be fixed. Also lagginess on latest betas needs fixing too. Apex has built it's reputation as the smoothest launcher but now it is not the case anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] polobreaka:
You mean transparent background of the widget will show up when scrolling?

Mine stays transparent.
[Android Apps and Games] LokiBartleby:
Apex & screen timeout

Is it possible that Apex somehow interferes with my screen settings, esp screen timeout?

Somehow I've got the feeling that with Apex the screen stays on much longer than I want it to (timeout is set to 30sec) or that it just stays on (the lockscreen appears, but the light stays on) until I use the lock button on my S3.

Right now I'm using the standard TouchWiz launcher & all seems fine (screen timeout + battery drain).

Apex is by far the best launcher I know, but somehow the latest beta4 is not usable for me, although I never had any problems before. :(
[Android Apps and Games] VincentDHam:
The newest beta is laggy, sometimes when going to the homescreen nothing shows up and i have to kill the app or go to my ROM's settings and press home again before any of my icons/widgets show. I didn't have this problem until the beta4.
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
JB on my GNex, no problems with scrolling transparency here. Also, no lagginess here. Don't use any Transition Effects, and use Card Stack App Drawer Transition Effect.
[Android Apps and Games] carlos67:
Ok , but that's GNex not SGS3. Everyone on s3 who tries Apex (any version) has this problem with transparency on JB.
[Android Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
Seriously? I don't get why Apex would on the S3 but not another phone? Weird.
[Android Apps and Games] YaPeL:
Maybe old GPU drivers, some defy users reported a boast in performance in this beta after our devs upgraded The old ics drivers to jellybean versions.
