Hi there,

I got a shadows or artifacts problem within the drawer. When it's set to "vertical continuous" it looks like this after some movement:

With an alternative icon-pack it's still like this:

The system is a SGS2 with latest CM10.1-nightly.

Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] OmarWatson:
I've had the same problem scrolling the app drawer using both Rootbox v3.4 and the nightlies, also with Resurrection Remix JB v3.13. The response I got was it is rom related so I suspect it is the same issue with the Cyanogenmod nightlies.
[Android Apps and Games] midnightflash:

Question / maybe fix needed ?

Regarding the icon resizing :

Increase the icons size only only take effect on the home screen icons not appdrawer icons.

Icons quality seems to be decreased, FYI I use xxxhdpi icons (144x144).

Just mention that since in Nova all icons are resized (even in appdrawer) and seems like quality remains unchanged. (But icon mask is not resized so it results in a weird icon rendering).

Left margin

Thanks for update, I have now Apex Launcher PRO 1.4.1. Icon resizig bug was solved, now icons are not cut in app drawer. But I noticed another bug, which wasnt there before - all icons are shifted more to the right, so left margin on screen is BIGGER than right margin.

I have noticed this on home screnn, folder with icons and in app drawer too. This bug wasn there in 1.4.0. So regardless of which margin I set, left margin is always bigger than left one.

I tried different Apex themes, rebooting phone, none worked.

Thanks for help.

there is a new bug in version 1.4.1!!

when i click the drawer icon on home, then the animation of the drawer icon springs to the left top. ;)

other one..

when i set the drawerstil vertically continuous, then have the setting Icon Size no function?!

i can set the icon size, but the effect does not occur.

Weird because it happens on both Rootbox 3.4 and RR 3.13 and also on the CM10.1 nightly. Unless it is Dorimanx Kernel related. I'll try another Kernel and see if the bug still exist. I really didn't think the Kernel would be responsible for this, just assumed scrolling cache.

I'm on 1.4.2 and can't get rid of this "fly in effect" when I close an app and returning to the mainscreen. I've got rid off all effects, but this one I can't get rid of.

Example: If I close Messages, the mainscreen looks like it comes flying in from the top of the screen.

Any clue anyone, on how to turn this off?

PS. Found the answer myself.

Behavior settings/Activity animation.

The only choice that removes the animation is when set to ICS.

I have an issue. I have a 2 mo old S3 (AT&T) running a custom rom v4.2.1. I had an Inspire 4G and on that phone I could overlap widgets with NO problem. Now that I have my S3, I cant overlap anything. Nothing overlaps. I try using custom UCCW skins and its pointless because all the ones I want to use have overlapping widgets. And when I try to overlap, all they do is move up or down and strink. I cannot find anything anywhere on this. However, Nova does this without a problem. I am running Pro for both because I cant decide. Well...I guess this was the killer.

Anyone have ANY input?

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

I figured out part of the problem with my home key not working. I use an app called Home2 Shortcut. It worked fine with ADW. I've been using Apex since v1.2.5. At first the home key worked, but H2S didn't. Then when Apex v1.3.2 came out, both worked fine. After that home key stopped working, but H2S did until v1.4.0beta1 when both worked again. After v1.4.0beta1 my home key doesn't work with H2S enabled. There's gotta be something in v1.3.2 and v1.4.0beta1 that allows Apex and H2S to work well together.

Any chance to add an option for the user to quickly change the app sort method (by time, name, acceding/descending )?

Also when installing a new app, can you make it automatically highlighted or blink until it is used for the first time?

Re: [APP] Apex Launcher Beta (Android 4.0+)

You've enabled the option for that in the settings right? And for me it works when you're resizing the widget and I think it's better that way.

Also what's the animation speed in Apex? I mean the homescreen and app drawer transitions, stock android or some custom speed? Nova uses some custom setup, which is way too fast. They do, however have an option to choose stock android etc. too and it'd be nice to have that on Apex too.

Re: [APP] Apex Launcher Beta (Android 4.0+)

I appreciate you guys trying to explain the menu key long press item but i just can't figure out exactly what the menu key is. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and i dont really have a menu key. I only have back, home, and recent apps. I know I'm probably being an idiot but thanks in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
Menu Key on Nexus devices corresponds to the 3 dots that can appear on the right (depending on the App displayed).

On some ROM allowing customization of the navigation bar (CM10.1 / ...), you can add it as a fourth permanent button (or a side button ==> one on the edge of the bar)
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
For sorting, go to Apex settings > Drawer settings > Drawer apps sorting.

If you are on the Pro version, you can add a drawer tab using the "New" type where newly installed apps appear.

Long-press on your desktop and select Apex actions.

Yes, you need to turn on the "Overlapping widgets" option in advanced settings (pro only) to allow widgets overlap. It is off by default.

You can tweak the animation speed for homescreen/drawer. The option is called "Minimum scrolling time".

You won't find the menu key on the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus 4 in Apex, at least not with the stock ROM.

Has anyone figured out how to keep the homescreen transitions smooth with a live wallpaper? I know the phone can handle it but have always had problems with this. Swiping between screens always stutters when a live wallpaper is on.

Re: [APP] Apex Launcher Beta (Android 4.0+)

[Android Apps and Games] Gambler_3:
Re: [APP] Apex Launcher Beta (Android 4.0+)

Apex has really fallen off the grace for me. The app drawer management sucks because there is no way to just drag an icon into a category like in nova and something as simple as putting an app in a category restarts the launcher seriously?

I have also noticed nova launcher restarts the launcher as soon as you make a change that requires it whereas Apex only restarts when you get to the home screen.

Whoever said that increasing the font size with icon resizing was a good idea? Another bummer.

I dont know what nova launcher does but after closing some heavy app it just takes a split second to reload whereas Apex takes forever which is really annoying.

Dont get annoyed by my rant i have been an Apex user for a long time and just giving the Dev feedback on what needs to be improved.
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
Sorry I must have misunderstood. Nova and Apex handle resizing of widgets differently, I was actually in the process of removing Apex and restoring my homescreens with Nova. However, I noticed that where I like to keep the Chronus widget, Nova will not stretch the widget to fill in the space around it, while Apex does.

I'm not sure if there are any settings to change this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] Naaser:
Re: [APP] Apex Launcher Beta (Android 4.0+)

Yes.. but nova will stretch all widgets and I try some widgets on nova and apex .. nova better to show correct resizing .. holo launcher too has option to stretch widgets.. but missing this option in apex..

Hi.

I'm using latest apex on eos4 rom on my tf101 and the icons often just disappear, so i have to kill the launcher or restart the tablet.

Any fix?

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
I found that if I disable transparency for the animation (Apex Settings->Homescreen Settings->deselect Use Alpha Effect), it's much smoother and more responsive while scrolling homescreens. Beyond that, I'd want to know which phone and which live wallpaper. Some are programmed better than others.
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
Sorry, I forgot to mention it since I'm almost always in a forum specific to my device. I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, and right off there were some issues with homescreen lag whenever a live wallpaper was selected. It wasn't until Project Butter that I am able to scroll with smooth transitions. However, when I use a downloaded live wallpaper like Neon Microcosm by Cypher Cove, there is no way for me to remove the lag.

I'll have to wait for a quad-core I think...

Re: [APP] Apex Launcher Beta (Android 4.0+)

+1 I've only bought Apex Pro and I prefer it over Nova anyway, but the widget do seem to stretch better on Nova. Also even though I don't have vertical margin set, I can't seem to place widgets right at the top.
[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
They should add an option to change however it is they stretch. I can't pinpoint the difference, but all I can say is that in Nova, when I size the Chronus widget to 4x2 it will not stretch to fill in the second row, it leaves a lot of space between the text and the icons below it. In Apex, the Chronus widget enlarges and centers to fill out the space and looks correct to me.

I'm not saying one does this better than the other, only that there must be a different method in each launcher.

I apologise if this has been brought up before but does anyone else have this Black "Shortcut" text list bug on the latest version, I've checked & 1.4.0 was the last version to display it correctly for me i.e. White text.

Seems version 1.4.1 is when it was first introduced & still present for me in 1.4.2.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Long press anywhere that's clear/free on the homescreen.

2. Press “Shortcut“

If it's a widespread bug the text/selections should display in Black as per the screenshot below.

What's strange about putting a Warning message with a red background and in top of the screen, so you see it instantly ?

Should it be written in a police size of 2, in the same color as the background and at the bottom of the screen so nobody can see it ?

Such common usage is not Nova's idea, nor Apex, it's just common usability / HMI guidelines.

they say that the pro version has the unread count for apps BUT they don't state for which apps.

they should clearly say what this pro version can or can't do.

why didn't they just say that the read count only works for the gmail app?

because ppl buy the pro version and after that they realize that it doesn't do everything they said it would.

so they just trick you to buy the pro version for some features that don't exist.

you can't just say "Unread count notifications" and just leave it like that even tho it only works with 1 or 2 email apps.

i use k9 mail and it doesn't show the unread count.

so what am i supposed to do now? ask for a refund and go back to go launcher ex!

[Android Apps and Games] :
Default Apex theme & running on KFHD 7" (Runs custom Amazon ICS 4.0.3).

Reason I thought it was a bug was because on version 1.4.0 it's consistent with the rest of Apex's menu screens/UI i.e. the text being White & easy to read whereas on 1.4.2 it's Black & just doest look right.

I only started using Apex Launcher at version 1.4.0 so unsure exactly how it's supposed to look that's why I posted, but having White text on a dark background certainly seems the best for use-abilty sake at least in my view, will revert back to 1.4.0 for the time being, had no issue with that version & I've changed nothing on my system, even done a few factory resets & text still shows up Black in the "Shortcut" menu on version 1.4.2.

Will check out some earlier versions to see how they perform.

Anyway I've attached screenshots below of the 1.4.0 'Shortcut' menu & 1.4.2's 'Shortcut' menu just to show what I mean.

Edit: Tried 1.3.5 & it's the same as 1.4.2 with the Black text, so it seems 1.4.0 is actually the buggy one but the one I'd consider correct & usable, nevermind then will stick with 1.4.0 for now, l dunno if it's related but as you can see on 1.4.2 the background is transparent whereas on 1.4.0 it's completely dark & I've noticed it acts like a new screen as it pos the laucher back into view when you go back whereas on 1.4.2 you can see the launcher still there underneath.
