Has anyone else noticed the delay in applying a transparency on a widget? When I swipe to a page, if a widget has a transparency on it, I first see the widget without the transparency (completely opaque) and after half a second, it applies the transparency.

Does it do that to anyone else? I've noticed this on "Extended Controls" and "BeWeather" so far.

[Android Apps and Games] ehBrY:
I'm assuming on your nexus ur running jelly bean its suppose to be greyed out in jb because you don't need to have it installed as root for the benefit of inserting new widgets from the drawer- the only limitation with apex on ics and below hence the disabling of the helper since there's no necessity for it :)

Case 1) Theme Dev has not declared icons for manual selection.

Hi there,

I have a Galaxy Note N7000, I don't know if someone already asked about this but since a month, I'm having some slowdowns with Apex Launcher, regardless the ROM I used : Stock 4.0.4 Based Samsung or CM9 / CM10 AOSP / AOKP / AOCP. Even with almost NOTHING but the default icons on Apex, I have slowdowns.

I have no slowdown at all with any other launcher (GoLauncher, even TouchWizz with the stock ROMs).

I used 1.2.5 and the last beta, it's the same. Does someone have an explanation ?
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
i'm experiencing not so much "slowdowns" but redraws almost all the time on any update after 1.3.0beta2... this ran flawlessly on ICS... which is why i bought Pro... but i sorta feel like i'm gonna have to either be content with 1.2.5 or find another launcher... Nexus S 4G... not a complaint... just sharing experience and hoping it will be addressed/fixed or at least some advice on what to do to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Hmm, that's strange. Works great for me on CM9/CM10/TW ROM's (N7000)

You can uninstall directly from the drawer. Make sure the desktop is unlocked, hold the app in the drawer you want to uninstall, then drag it to the Uninstall button at the top.. Unless you mean an x appear on the icon when you hold (like Go Launcher EX or iPhone) then no..

Odd bug when using gestures to launch shortcuts for Apex, I'll explain it here.

When I go into behaviour settings, pick a gesture, and then select "Activities", to pick an app activity, everything goes as normal and most of them work perfect. But when I select the default Twitter apps ".PostActivity", then do the gesture, Twitter crashes.

I think this is an Apex problem because I've tried the same process with different launchers and the gesture works fine without any crashes.

a lovely intuitive launcher, must be a goody as it's weaned me off Launcher7!

Hi,

I'm trying to use Apex (bought the license) in my Xoom tablet, but it have a performance issue. After I quit any application, the homescreen (icons plus widgets) seems to be reloaded again, which takes one second. This is really annoying, I tried versions 1.2.5 and 1.3 beta, without any improvement.

Anyone had experienced this? The problem don't occur with the default launcher or with Go Launcher HD, but they have a lot less features.

Thak you.

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Icon pack problem, go ask in the pack's thread. And make sure you got the Apex version of the pack, I see in the thread that Apex has a separate version to the other launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] Khrushy:
Weird bug that seems to have begun with 1.30 beta 5.

Icon packs no longer ask to select the custom colour you want for the icon - it just defaults to white without ever going to the colour prompt. Tested with several icon packs.

This was not an issue with beta 4 and earlier. Has anyone else experienced this?

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Confirmed on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7. Interestingly, while the Play Store reports 1.3.0 as being available, if you do a Check for Updates within Apex itself, it reports that there is no newer update than 1.2.5 stable and 1.3.0 beta 6. So I suspect that the Play Store update is glitched somehow and not supposed to be there.

If you still have problems cause apex was standard launcher delete apk first via adb.
[Android Apps and Games] virgopunk:
Just to add to the current issues; I saw that Apex was saying there was an update ("great, always love new Apex stuff" I thought), went to Play but no update visible so updated direct from within app. Next thing I know I'm getting the 'Apex has stopped' loop. Managed to get into settings and uninstalled app only to get stuck in a boot loop. Then managed to get to Recovery and tried Dalvik and partition cache wipe. Still no use so I was forced to factory wipe. This was pretty damn annoying since I hadn't really backed anything up. I still can't get Apex to work. This is the Pro version! If this is how updates are sent out then I'm afraid I'll be switching to another launcher. What a crappy start to my day! I'm now having to install all my apps again (yup, I should have made a more recent back-up but I didn't expect Apex to to go all bat**** on me. It's been my launcher of choice for months.

V1.30 has issues

I upgraded Apex Launcher to v1.3 via Google Play but the program kept crashing. Phone Galaxy I9100, ICS, stock.

After several failed efforts to restore it I have now uninstalled it and reinstalled v1.2.5 which appears to be working.

I like Apex but something is adrift with the latest release.

The backup has mostly returned settings to its previous minus a few homescreen items.

Stuck with no adb installed on the computer and no other launcher around, but still have computer and USB cable?

Here is a fix that worked for me.

1. Connect USB co computer and to phone, there will be a notification about usb.

2. You can now press the notification icon, and bu default there is a Settings icon

3. Click the Settings icon, go to Applications

4. Find Apex and click on it, it should show info about the app.

5. Press Uninstall Updates and it should revet to the latest stable 1.3.0 but with all settings reset to default.

6. Go to Apex Launcher options, restore settings from backup (apex and desktop), if any ;D

7. Optional: go to Apex Launcher options, About, Check for updates, latest beta, select it, then check for updates.

[Android Apps and Games] FourthRock:
Hi, I just experienced this problem.

However, I have found a work-around:

- on the desktop-pc, go to the play-store

- sign in with your google-account

- find another launcher (i choose 'Zeam Launcher' because it is small and has a good & robust reputation)

- click 'install' (and make sure your phone is selected as the target)

This 'pushes' another launcher to your phone and when it is installed you can start it by tapping on the 'ready' message from the notification bar.

So... no need to re-install your ROM, just use another launcher until the Apexproblem is fixed... ;)

So....please use workarounds mentioned below.......finished. Think there is really no need to mess up the thread.
