Just to feedback

Gave a try to the latest version after having skipped previous updates. I must say things are more stable for me, no more serious issues at all.

Still sad author support/feedback to users is very restricted...

Also, missing a gesture feature: being able to launch ICS Recent Apps transparent window
[Android Apps and Games] The Gingerbread Man:
I'd love to see a feature where you can choose how many rows and columns of apps there are within the app drawer, like you can on home screens. I'm using paranoidandroid rom and my app draw is kinda letting my team down as the rest looks awesome. I don't want to switch launchers as apex is the best by miles. See screenys

5 columns and 6 rows would look better

App drawer;

Home screens;
[Android Apps and Games] KBanause:
Sometimes I get a very strange behaviour.

All of my homescreens on my TFPrime appear to be empty but I'm still able to push on icons I set on the screen or dock and they are opening the app to which they are belong to (only action which does not do what it should is the "App Drawer" action). When long-pressing on an empty place the screen gets darker but the menu does not appear.

the only way to bring back the widgets is by force closing Apex and restarting it.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Launcher actions / gestures to open recent apps has been requested before. I believe the response was that because of the way Android is coded, the launcher can't call it.

Basically it can only be launched by a physical button (or an onscreen softkey treated as a physical button), and the launcher can't imitate physical button pushes.
[Android Apps and Games] KBanause:
That Option is already present (if you mean the background).
[Android Apps and Games] ARieS_:
When the phone boot up icons and widgets disappear for a while from desktop, and in the drawer loading image turning and turning then shows up everything again. Same in Nova Launcher but Trebuchet(CM9 Launcher) has no problem.

sorry for bad english
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Did you have trouble scrolling up/down on the gmail widget? Or you accidentally triggered the swipe gestures while scrolling on the widget?

The default option means the launcher would stay in portrait mode most of the time but may rotate when docked etc.

Thanks for reporting this issue. It will be fixed in the next update.

This will be fixed in the next version.

Planned.

Yes. Apex settings > Drawer settings > Show downloaded apps tab

The BIND_APPWIDGET permission is required to add widgets. However, for security considerations, this permission has the signatureOrSystem protection level. I don't think the Android team would consider this as a bug.

I think it's related to the CALL_PHONE permission. It is required to place direct-dial shortcuts on the homescreen. The stock ICS launcher also requires this permission.

Yes, hardware acceleration is enabled when available.

An update is coming soon. So stay tuned!

Yes, and yes.

There'll be an option to adjust the transparency level.
[Android Apps and Games] foxdog66:
Wow dude, way to cover everyone's... comments/posts/issues/requests lol. I was starting to think my comment was lost :-P

I read somewhere that the launcher checks for updates? True? If so, will we be prompt to download, simply notifyed or maby it will auto download? I have it installed to system named Apex.apk
[Android Apps and Games] ekerazha:
It's not really a bug, but we could open a ticket on the bug tracker asking for an enhancement, that is to allow 3rd party apps (installed as normal apps) to "use" the BIND_APPWIDGET permission (or to implement a new permission for the same purpose).

custom icons is what i mean, when that will be included in this launcher i'll switch nova for apex ;)

Thank you for this epic launcher , but when using only 1 home screen

. the over scroll glow leaves an artifact or a ghosting effect

. also the home screen indicator don't fade even if it is disabled
[Android Apps and Games] dpaine88:
When using "disabled wallpaper scrolling", upon restarting the launcher or rebooting phone, it shifts the wallpaper to the right and you have to go back in, enable scrolling then disable it again to fix it.

I think this is a bug with the new version. On my Xoom, which has a lower dpi then the GNex, the exact same thing happens rendering apex completely unusable which sucks because on my GNex it's my absolute favorite. I emailed them devs and they said they'd look into it, but that was right after upgrading to their newest version, haven't heard anything since. Hope it gets fixed cause I love this launcher.

Hi!

Guestures don't work properly.

I have a strange behaviour on my Transformer Prime with Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.21 v1.

Two finger swipe doesn't work, swiping on icons neither (neither up nor down).

Tried resetting settings and reinstalling app. Didn't help.

Any solution?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] upichie:
All work fine for me. They dock swiping takes a bit to get used to. Not sure why they wouldn't be working for you.

[Android Apps and Games] jonny_ftm:
Notification toggle does it. Also, on my posts there you can find links to the code to do it and to an app developped on a german forum running as a service giving you swipe from left to right screen to toggle ICS recent apps. That app also works under Apex Launcher :

[Android Apps and Games] danielsf:
Hi, would you consider adding an option to have a light shadow around the text and icons in the app draw please, as I would like to have a transparent draw, but with any reasonably busy wallpaper the text and icons are too hard to see and look a bit of a mess. Also, would you consider adding the ability to change the size of the icons & text and maybe the spacing of the icons between each other on the home screen and app draw, as on my wvga screen on my s2 all the icons just look too big and squashed in, in all ICS launchers. If you would consider these suggestions please, even if it is only for the pro version :) Also the page transition that the new galaxy s3 has are so cool, pretty please would you consider it? :)

Edit: Just bought pro :)
[Android Apps and Games] luke05dee:

The blue lines are apart of the tablet transition, without the lines then it wouldn't exactly be the tablet transition.

[Android Apps and Games] kshting:
I have Apex Launcher 1.1.1 installed as system app on my phone. I noticed the following last night:

1. I replaced the default app drawer icon with a custom icon , setting it back to the default icon later did not make any difference. I have to remove the custom icon and reselect to have the default icon back;

2. Horizontal margin and vertical margin in homescreen settings do not seem to make any difference to the desktop regardless of whether it is set to none, small, medium or large.

If I have missed out something, kindly set me in the right direction. :)

Hello,

I'm using Apex Launcher since few weeks, more months I guess :D

I'm very happy with it, unless I search for a feature that I didn't find yet.

How can I do that with Apex Launcher ?

Thanks,

Hey is there any way to revert the app list back to having a margin on each side on the tablet version?

I updated to the latest version and now the homescreen borders fill the screen (margins work but i cant for example tap the sides to switch screens) and the app list fills up completely from side to side, rather than leaving a bit of space on the sides.

[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
Noticed an issue with activities.

When creating an activity on the homescreen, for example with CM9 Camera App, I have 3 choices, Camera / Video Recorder / Panorama.

The 2 first works flawlessly, however the Panorama says "This activity cannot be launched".

At first I thought it was maybe an issue coming from the app.

But using the activity picker from CM9 Lockscreen to launch custom shortcuts, Panorama activity works fine, therefore I think it is linked to Apex.
[Android Apps and Games] Putzy:
You know what would be a great addition? CM9 Theme support. The default CM9 launcher (Trebuchet) changes the holo blue to whatever the theme specifies. Apex doesn't currently do this.

I don't think it's because the theme specifically modifies Trebuchet, but because Trebuchet uses the system-wide colour codes. Not being a coder.. I dunno how this works.

Basically, if we use a green CM9 theme, Apex retains the blue in the app draw and in the page indicators.

How do I go about setting custom icons?

I cannot for the life of me figure this out and it's probably very obvious.
[Android Apps and Games] fonduekid:
Long press and replace the icons? I'm just guessing here..
[Android Apps and Games] Surpass:
Long press on the icon and then when the vibrate occurs let go (without moving the icon). A little box will appear above or below the icon (depending on where it is on the screen); tap 'Edit'.

It should bring up a box where you can change the name of the app, the icon, and even switch out the app with another. Tap the icon inside the box and it will bring up several places in your phone where you can choose the icon.

I think you can figure it out from there. :)

[Android Apps and Games] MrBauer:
Strange, that's what I've been doing but nothing happens. I long press the app, the icon raises up a little bit and vibrates and let go and everything goes back to normal.

Is it a pro only feature?

Un-installed and re-installed now it works fine. Very strange!
[Android Apps and Games] Dodgylegs:
Maybe you had 'locked your desktop' by mistake as that disables the option to change icons etc...?
[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
Under apex settings, behavior settings and make sure enable quick actions are ticked.

But when I set my grid to 5x7, I cannot stretch (resize) my widgets to be 5 icons wide. The resize box "stops" enlarging before I reach the edge.

Is there a way to fix a lock screen wallpaper in Apex Launcher?

I have searched and couldn't find of any 'built in' method to do that? I have seen suggestions to use alternative apps such as widgetlocker for example.. But I would like to know if its possible to set a lock screen wallpaper.

Thanks in advance.. Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
Your device must support the telephony feature to use unread counters for calls/sms. Most tablets won't have this. For the last one, make sure you have Gmail v4.0.5 or later.

There was no blue line for the tablet transition effect at the beginning. Lots of people requested that so we added it. Now you can always say add an option to control that, but some users would then complain about too many options. It's impossible to please everyone, so I guess we'll just go with what most people want.

In fact, there is one "internal widget", the quick search bar widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Exactly, plus I'm pretty sure the tablet transition without the blue lines is call "none" in the transitions menu. They are virtually the same. And some feature request are starting to get ridiculous. The only two I want to see are icon resizing and dock background. However, the launcher is perfect as it is. I just don't want it to get laggy.
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
I second that :)

Is it really hard to implement, since widget can be resized ?

Been waiting for this one quite a long time now, moreover it's number 4 on top uservoice requests :(
[Android Apps and Games] ears1991:
Yep this is very important (nova seems to have the same issue), i hope the new themes options in the apex beta wont cause this not to happen.

Nice update though, transitions in portrait on my tablet seem to be smoother now, although the tablet home screen transition seems to hang before its completed for a moment and then finish on my hp touchpad if im using infinite scrolling

icon packs working well although the themed icons are displaying smaller than unthemed stuff so not very usuable unless you are lucky enough to have all your apps themed.

edit:

the bits you drag when resizing widgets have disappeared
