[Android Apps and Games] :
Awesome launcher, thank you! Can you please add the option to remove the app drawer button? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Mathias1:
2 things i've noticed with the new version:

1. using the zoom-transition to the appdrawer, (though greatly improved) the homescreen stays visible under the appdrawer for half a second and then disappears.

2. When switching screens, using the cardstack, halfway through the scroll, the screen gets solid all the way and hides half of the 2nd screen "underneath" (just like real cards, when shuffling ;) ). Normally, the screen just fades in/out, but now, half of the screen is hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] NeBouse:
Transitions (card stack) between homescreens are now laggy on my Arc S.

They used to be smooth on 1.2.5 ;)

btw thx for the update !
[Android Apps and Games] willl03:
1.3.0b1 is simply AWESOME. On JB GNex, I dont use transition effects or scrolling wallpaper, and I cant get the launcher to lag or micro stutter no matter what I do, the stock launcher was close but this is it
[Android Apps and Games] xxproblemzxx:
They just rebased the launcher on jellybean. I'd say give em a little time to iron out the kinks. The next stable release should be perfect. Oh and a suggestion for the manage screens interface, I really like the one from holo launcher HD.

It would be nice to see this incorporated sometime

Why not have the open/exit animations for ICS based devices as well?

Nova's open/close app animations work on ICS.

Is this going to be implemented in the future?

If not, I will have to go back to nova :(
[Android Apps and Games] ajamils:
The latest beta release seem to have fixed the issue with the wallpaper but have introduced another issue (atleast for me), none of the icons on the screen show labels. I have checked in setting and they are not turned off. Any suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] demo23019:
this

also tablet and card stack home screen transition effect is really sluggish

app drawer transition are fine

Just a heads up no complaints know this is a big overhaul
[Android Apps and Games] chunlianghere:
agree wit u.. when go into app drawer, it lags a second. than its like another background pop up.

another is, its more laggy than 1.2.5 when scroll through homescreen.

anyway i donno y the sms unread count notification still disappear after awhile. i guess apex launcher hates my messaging app. :P
[Android Apps and Games] lyndonguti:
Now that apex is upgraded now maube it depends on what phone you are using to be fast as hell like before..dualcore quadcore maybe

Let see what apex can do about this to make it work superb :)

No you don't need dual core for apex to be smooth

I'm using jellybean on my nexus s fast and very smooth thanks to butter if anything apex with improve on jellybean devices

+1 for the margin in the drawer, is driving me crazy . I finally got to install the beta version but now this what happens in my tablet:

The icons became smaller because of the change of search bar position. Does not look nice now!.

I use my tablet in landscape mode only. could you please let us decide where to put that search bar. It didn't bother me when it was on top of my screen at all but I would like to see it at the bottom or maybe in one of the sides but without occupying much space as it does now ( see screenshot). Thanks!

I have the PRO version

Edit: after i removed the search bar the icons remain small, need a setting for icons please.

Edit2: went back to stable version and all is ok but missing many basic settings like grid size/margin on the drawer. Also the beta version started acting up in my nook tablet like i long press an icon/widget to move it and instead it will open the application very unstable. Please don't forget of tablet users i bought the pro version because the launcher looked promising but lacks of basic things.

For now i regreat of buying this app, i'll install again when it be more "mature".

i tried to roll back to the none beta and got constant FC if i tried to restore the settings.

Great update! Thanks.

Very laggy in drawer suddenly.

Otherwise awesome with unlimited categories.

Ive been waiting for this since on HTC Magic.

Edit: unchecked drawer swipe effect, and lag is all gone. Small bug.

SGS2 CM9 - home screen tablet animation is choppy for start, gets smooth a little bit later. Like not being hard on governor immediately from the start. Returned to 1.2 where it's smooth immediately from the beginning.

Beware - downgrade is not directly possible, do a backup in Titanium!
[Android Apps and Games] catman51:
Also, used to be able to put small widgets into dock? Hope that returns
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Yes, it's possible and will be implemented in the future.

Check your homescreen grid settings.

You can still put 1x1 widgets in the dock with the latest beta (pro only).
[Android Apps and Games] derPianist:
Very very great Update!

But, the Homescreen Scrolling is very laggy when I set my favorite Transition, the Tablet animation.

Any fix for this?

Thanks!!

After installing 1.3 beta no longer have tablet UI. It switched to phone UI, which is ugly, non practical and just unusable and I can't find anything related in settings to switch it back.

Home screen scrolling is laggy as well on this version - less than 10 fps.

When turning off search bar separator remain on screen drew right over icons.

And it feels like font size is even more smaller than before - almost extra small.
[Android Apps and Games] Terminator19:
Glad to hear that! :D

Hopefully not be too long ;) :p

With new beta I'm noticing that after a redraw, my overlapped widgets aren't overlapped any more... this is quite annoying as it puts my calendar widget miles above my minimalistic text widget

I've tried re-adding the widgets, but they won't stay overlapped - just had a thought: will try locking the desktop and seeing if that'll stop it moving it

"Not enough memory" when installing V2.5

Hi there.

Thanks for your good work!

I have a rooted, stock SGS3 with Link2SD - and when I am installing the current version from GPlay, I am getting a "Not enough memory message". However, all memory in the phone is fine (see below). Other apps install w/o problem....

Did anyone else have this experience? What could be the reason? Is there a way around this?

Edit: Just tried with latest beta, same result. App Manager says 594 MB RAM used, 186MB free (device memory 2,9GB used, 8,5 GB free)

Edit2: Optimized RAM now (521 MB used / 260 free), still same result.

Edit3: I now tried to push the apk through the S3 toolkit - error message here is consistent:

4313 KB/s (2703597 bytes in 0.612s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/ApexLauncher_v1.3.0beta1.apk

[Android Apps and Games] jdhas:
After adding a new widget and resizing it, when the launcher restarts or redraws the screen, the widget reverts to it's original, unresized state.

The only workaround I have been able to identify is to add an app shortcut from the app drawer to the screen with the resized widget. This way, after restarting the launcher, the widget resizing seems to stick. I don't know why it works, but it works.

To get this to work for full screen widgets, I add a row to the homescreens (to, say, 5x4), add the widget, resize the widget to 4x4, drag an app shortcut to the empty row, restart the launcher, confirm the resizing "stuck", delete the shortcut I added previously, resize the homescreens to 4x4, voila, widget resizing sticks. (Obviously this is a terrible, time consuming workaround, but it keeps my OCD happy).

Holo Launcher HD, which is also built off the Jelly Bean source, has the same problem (and the same Barry workaround works).

[Android Apps and Games] JoeSyr:
Installed the beta yesterday, and I still get "No more room on this home screen" when placing a widget that's too big to fit. This happens on screens both where there would be room if other things moved around, or the widget would have to resize (preferred option in both cases, as this is what I'm going to do as soon as I can put it somewhere).

[Android Apps and Games] blackhand1001:
On the beta of you have animator duration set to off it doesn't perform the app drawer animation. I prefer to have animator off but still have the app drawer animation. It should listen to the separate setting in the app regarding how it behaves. When animator is set to none it doesn't do the animation regardless of whether you have it set to no animation, fly in, fade in, or zoom in. Perhaps a separate animation duration setting similar to nova launcher is a good solution and disregard the animation setting in developer options.

[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Thanks for the video. Did you enable the "widget overlapping" option?

Any stacktrace?

Please do not try to install or move Apex to the SD card. Launchers should always be installed in internal memory only.

It seems there's a bug with the widget overlapping option. If you have that option turned on, could you disable it and see how it works?

That doesn't seem normal. Apex only takes 40-50M on my gnex, but I don't have many widgets on the homescreens. Can you try a reboot or even turn off the keep in memory option?

Widgets would resize themselves to fit on the screen only if they are designed to be resizable (e.g., the browser bookmarks widget).

[Android Apps and Games] abhi.eternal:
I have been using this launcher for a few months now and must say that this is excellent. However, I have a small problem with the latest beta.

First, homescreen is not so smooth as it should be. Second, I use the Fly In/Fly Out animation for the app drawer. In the current build, when I try to open the app drawer, the homescreen zooms out (?) to the background and the app drawer opens. Neat feature, but the zooming out (?) of the homescreen is very slow (laggy actually) and it can be seen for a short time even when the app drawer opens. Are you aware of this or is it only me?
