to which I say... AMEN.

It wasn't horribly different back in the day when I was a developer for those wonderful "new" IBM PC's that took up a whole desk, had a relatively tiny monochrome screen, and "window" was the thing you opened to get air in because the da-n machine ran so HOT... Don't like it? Don't use it. Or mod it yourself and make yourself a dev.

Years later as a nurse, not an IT dev (that's what being a 9-11 survivor does to you I guess), I'm an end user, and like to try different projects from various devs... have my favourites, but appreciate them all - 1) cuz they have much more coding knowledge than I do now; 2) cuz they build and share, and 3) cuz they need to be appreciated for their hard work and sacrifices! Same now as in my "old IT dog" days, don't like it, don't wanna be bothered with changing something or tweaking or giving devs positive constructive feedback so they can make their product better? Don't use it - convert your phone back to stock, relock it, unroot it, and SHUT UP... while the rest of us have fun.

Yep... and LGI..., 1) install another laucher & make it default; 2) use a root-access file manager, go to root>system>app and delete the launcher's apk you don't want to use anymore; 3) reboot... or...

1) jump on xda and whine & ***** about how this whole procedure above should be automatic with press of a button; 2) try to impress everyone about how busy your life is because you can't to a simple three-step procedure; 3) watch everyone else on xda either shake their heads in disbelief, or (like me) serve ya...

See? THAT's what you get when people let me on here while I'm working a night shift! :D

Yes no cares.

Here is the screen, look well above the phone icon, a blue dot appears ...

[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
Have you tried changing the icon for the shortcut? is it related to the icon?
[Android Apps and Games] Raymond Ebertt:
Any suggestions?

I'm trying to set up my homepage, but I can't seem to get the widgets aligned properly. As with my weather widget, the very bottom is deleted. I use the same settings with Nova launcher and I have no problems. With Apex, I find it very frustrating and difficult to get the same look as with Nova. Compare the two screenshots. Nova is balanced perfectly and I can add two rows of apps. With Apex, I can only add my weather widget and one row of apps. As well, the google search bar rests way too low for my liking.

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Romu313:
No it is not related to the icon but the effect of scrolling I think :confused:

Looks like a bug with the screen indicator.

What if you try to show screen indicator, or separation between dock and home screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Wsullivan:
same here! brilliant! when i lose pro i lose my over lapping widgets on my home screen.. ..... its the 26th again! i even feel younger!

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Romu313:
I actually tried it and it does the same, the blue dot appears at the end of the line separator dock.

I tried with other ICS Rom and same result, so I know if it just me or is it a bug in Apex??
[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
Yep same issue I'm more than happy to pay for it problem is I can't :(
[Android Apps and Games] jonny_ftm:
This is starting in a very bad way. Before tossing money, I'd wait for a final bug free product you could otherwise never see. Just my 2 cents. Already lived the experience with promising products that die with no updates or support in a few months...

Gonna give Nova a try meanwhile :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
Maybe but I look at it this way it will probably only be couple of dollars and hell most of us throw more than that sort of money away on junk food and soft drink and coffee each day so have one less coffee get something that lasts for life with free updates. For a few dollars it doesn't need to be perfect it just needs to work now if it was like $10 then yeah I might think twice
[Android Apps and Games] stick1300:
I'd rather give the devs a few bucks as thanks and to keep them hard at work. If I were a dev, I'd be more likely to keep working on making a better product if there was some initial support from the customer base.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny_ftm:
Yes, I always buy or even donate for an app when I encounter responding and good supporting developers (j4velin, Titanium Track, Vecal Company...)

What ever great a product can be, if the support fails to answer any request, I won't bother. Apex has a great potential, but support has still to be proven...

Anyway, that's me, that's out of topic, back to the waiting now...
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
noooooooo, the world comes to an end :eek:

i need the pro version .. let me donate for a beta pro tester :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] ack154:
I tried Nova and it didn't seem to work for me, but GO Launcher worked fine. This was driving me nuts on my Tab. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Aaron78:
So how much is this "PRO" version going to cost? And why do I have to pay to get little notification numbers? I hope this is not going to turn into the same thing like Nova where $4.00 gives you a pro license. I understand and respect what the devs do to make this app. But why can't some of those pro features be kept free. Please.

"Stepping down off my soap box"
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
How about you develope your own launcher and give it away for free?

I'll be waiting. Just PM me when it's ready.

Found a bug: when I've got any transition effect selected, if I overscroll, when the screen settles 'flat' again, my text (most noticeable in smooth calendar) is distorted as though it's still on an angle. With transition effects off, the text remains fine.

Can provide screenshots if required.

For now you can't. Maybe we wait for a new beta but i must says that nova have better support.

They just updated the google play store with the latest version. Its 3.99!

I can't see paid version here only update to free one.

If you can't see it in the market theres a link in OP which works.

Bug report, I've looked at all posts containing 'bug' from 13 April onward but have not read this issue yet. My home screen, the home screen, one of four has collapsed to a width of lets say 30 pixels or so. After a restart of Apex all is well again. Specs: HTC Sensation on CM9-nightly with Faux v005b3 and Apex 1.1.0b4. Attached four screen shots: the four home screens, the overview and my home screen after restart.

Just updated to the latest version from Google play, is it possible to disable the "apexservice" running in the background? Thanks. :)

What features do you reckon that the dev keep in the pro version then?

You appreciate that the dev comes up with a good app through some hard work, but you want it free am I understanding it right?

Nice to see the Pro version on the Google Play Store.

$3.99 is an instant-buy for me.

Fantastic work, I wish you lots of success!
[Android Apps and Games] Menthix:
You will also be taken to it when you go to Apex Settings > Pro Version (after you have updated the beta on the Play Store). Looks like the Pro version is just a license, so you need the free version anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] Red_Vex:
Updated and bought the Pro version.

It seems a bit laggy respect 1.0.5.

I also want:

folders in app drawer and uninstall directly from app drawer :)
[Android Apps and Games] Klausi:
Hi dennisxl,

I only used your launcher (1.0.5) the last two days and had no problems at all. Everything is running perfectly on my HTC Desire with Sandvolds ICS rom.

Today I updated to 1.1.0 and bought the pro version to support your work.

After installation I had some problems:

The setting screens (especially 'behavior settings' and 'advanced settings') are flickering heavily if options are choosed inside these settings.

More of a problem is, that google maps is no longer loading any map.

Maybe someone else can confirm this – at least on a Desire.

I had to restore the backup I fourtunatly did before, with version 1.0.5 maps are loading fine again.

Regards,

Klaus
[Android Apps and Games] stetre76:
just a suggestion for the Pro Version, or better to say, for the Play Store description:

maybe you want to state in the description of Pro Version in the Play Store that it's only a unlock key for the Pro features.

In another forum there were already some users that uninstalled the free version, because they thought the Pro Version is a stand alone app.

disregard - some users should just read the whole description....
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
Purchased Apex Pro immediately after the new version popped up in Play.

I know I am being too annoying with this request, but PLEASE OH PLEASE add Facebook Activity and Twitter Mention+DM badge notifications.

"Merged changes from Android 4.0.4" and no fix for the keyboard dismissal lag (from AOSP 4.0.4) How is that possible?

The keyboard dismissal lag is very annoying. Take example from Nova Launcher were they fixed the issue a long time ago.

[Android Apps and Games] wej1976:
I'm running this on a GNex and it runs perfectly fine. I do however also have Desire at home which is running 0.5.4 of Sandvolds ICS rom. I'll test Apex 1.10 when I get home and see if it behaves the same as yours.

Because I haven't a credit card I can't buy the Pro version. But the real problem now is that I had made app groups, and now I can't see them, so now I can only reach the app group which was active. (I've got the same problem with the widget group).

Does anyone have a solution to apps that need root permission crashing when launched by gestures?

Worked fine before when I was using launcher pro on gingerbread.
[Android Apps and Games] Rovian:
I wish you guys added the ability to create folders inside the apps drawer.. I bought the pro version to support though but I'll stick with NOVA premium for now cause the folders feature is very useful to me, I like everything on APEX as it is a faster launcher in my opinion, now I'll wait for some updates to come and hope for that feature to be implemented.

Wow just came on to see if there were any updates and I get to see this wonderful news. Now I must leave so I can go buy Pro :-D

[Android Apps and Games] jonny_ftm:
Is this page even monitored / followed by author please?

He no longer posted above a month ago...

Buying the pro, can we expect the bugs solved one day and the support starts (as it didn't even start for now, author not posting / answering, even by email...)

In my case, on first impression, this launcher has a great potential with many unique ICS features (very fluide, swipe gestures, notifications...)

But, after a while running, many apps and active widgets begin to FC and I expierience a memory leak as noted by others. Also, after the first launch, on the long run, it is no longer fluid and lags as other launchers, even more. I have really a few apps, 3 basic widgets and little added boot processes.

I'd send a log/debug + details of FC, but no answer...

Also, having a payed version at that price without even the basic icon size and dock background is kinda bizarre. Many FC on many devices... At least a starting discount price as it is clearly still in beta / debugging + option to donate for the many people that would do, include me if support in the thread or by email starts.

Back to Go Launcher for now, less features, a bit laggy, but stable on the long run. I will donate when a better support comes

haven't got any fc's an i'm using it apex for months now
[Android Apps and Games] jonny_ftm:

[Android Apps and Games] The Gingerbread Man:

[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
don't know which rom you're running .. But i'm running CM9 nightly on a Samsung Galaxy S and it works almost flawless

and if i get a Fc's then it's the app that ****s up and not Apex
[Android Apps and Games] ack154:
Ditto. I'm actually running it on 2 devices now and have yet to have a FC. Been running it for at least a month on my GS2.

The ONLY problem I've had is with the wallpaper zooming on my my new Galaxy Tab 2. I thought the fix posted a couple pages back worked - but not so much. It just reverted back to the zoomed look.
[Android Apps and Games] r-l:
i only have a sgs and i always use that in protrait mode, i made a custom them that only works in that way and have no problems with the bg

[Android Apps and Games] h_zee13:
this launcher is the best out there. It's buttery smooooothhh :D

This feature would be awesome

Swipe from dock icon to show all bookmarks like LP
[Android Apps and Games] jonny_ftm:
Stock ICS LP7 with CF_Root, just that. Clean, wiped, hard reset and manual reinstall/setup of all apps.

Apps that FC are Folder Organizer Donate (far better than any launcher folder manager), a simple wifi toggle widget that never gave any issue and sometimes, Apex its self. Lag is another issue, not on first install, but after a few days without reboot. Sometimes, a big delay when touching a home shortcut to launch an app. Restarting Apex launcher from time to time fixes it

On stock primitive TouchWiz, no issues. ADW Launcher EX (payed) and Go Launcher EX are rock stable, same setup, but miss many functions.

Same on my second S2, with a similar setup

I'm stuck to leave it, because of the lack of support. Will give it a second try after a few more builds, if Nova didn't fill my needs meanwhile
[Android Apps and Games] blackbearblanc:
A bug: pushing stock search to the dock will attach it there, though non pro version

Nice but a reboot pushes the search bar from position so it moves an iconspace. .

This I w 6 or 7 icon spaces in dock.

How it looks when allright.. :
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

Great update!

No issues,everything works perfectly for me,no more lags in home/app drawer/home transition with the widget tab in the drawer.

For me definitely the best launcher for ICS!

Thanks for your work!

[Android Apps and Games] Red_Vex:
As stated from others the launcher is bit laggy respect 1.0.5.

I bought pro version to aid the development, but meanwhile Kevin give an aswer to people that ask for bug/feature request (and release beta quickly), the author of this post seems not too interested.

I hope that i've not wasted money on a "dead" launcher.

Haven't read all 200+ pages but did read the last ten or so, basically the app creator hasn't updated or supported this app, it works well at first but becomes unstable after a while, and there isn't really a fix? Or is it just a vocal minority that have had issues??

[Android Apps and Games] billykxda:
Some of you are getting commercial Whatsapp icons installed on your desktop after installing Apex Pro? That would be VERY bad form for a Dev of a paid app (or any app for that matter!).

I am running the new Pro as of today and so far it's stable. I had a few issues in the first few days of the Beta, but I am holding out that Apex Pro will work well for me.

I was going to switch over to Nova as of yesterday, but some quick research easily surfaced that Nova has stability problems for some users as well. Figured I'd stick with the app I already know.

[Android Apps and Games] M973:
I noticed that, too. With the prior version, when I would check running services, Apex would be there for a second, then move to cached services. Now it stays in running...wondering if it was always in running (which would make sense) and only moved to cached when I checked it? :confused:
