I hope the new version fixes the problem I have on my Note 10.1 2014 Lte. Every time I boot I get "Apex Launcher has stopped" message and then I'll have to pick standard launcher again.

Edit: it's fixed! Thank you! :)

Was that necessary or just slimming down the many options? For me I think this takes away some customizability, I like my dock icons a bit smaller, but not as small as the "small icons in dock" setting. Now I can only tune the size for all, not an improvement in my eyes.

This causes the wordwrap in my app tray (I use the vertical scrolling one) to not work anymore. In all previous versions, long app-names like "Google Einstellungen" or "BetterBatteryStats" were displayed in a second line if necessary. Now this second line doesn't exist anymore even though there is enough vertical space until the new row of icons, but instead the app-name is simply truncated "Google E..." or "BetterBatte..."

Imo the behaviour in the previous version was better regarding this aspect. :(

All in all still thanks to you Dennis for keeping working on this launcher, it still is after all these years my (only) favourite. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] fcasoli:
I think the same, for me was a PLUS to differentiate icons, I understand for a lot of users could be not natural, but better two than one option ;)

Icons on my note 3 are all cropped upon resize, the only way I can get them to look normal is to edit and then select default icon. . . (app draw shows correctly sized icons)

Edit. I've had similar icon issues even prior to the latest release, applying an icon pack would only change certain icons (on the desktop) however the app draw would be correct. . .

I can resize icons without problems, there is one small issue in last and previous version, maybe also in older,

to align dock icons and home icons I must set different margin :

Dock with small margin

Home with no margin

The same number of icons for both

Here the result with different margins. Aligned

Searched but did not find answers.

2 recommendations:

1. Any way to swipe down to bring up the notifications during immersive mode on PA? Swipe down to bring up notifications only works when status bar is active.

2. Any way to completely remove the top and bottom shadows on the home screen? (Already activated the setting on the home screen tab but a small shadow remains..) Shadows do not appear during immersive mode.

Thanks and awesome app! :)

Would also like to have the option for smaller dock icons separate from the rest of the icon sizes back. Accidentally disabled it and now I'm stuck with ugly big icons.

Would also be awesome if there were more screen transition effects added. :)

Why unify the icon size and not leave it like before?
[Android Apps and Games] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...to be honest, adding unified icon size is like taking 5 step back from previous update...it should stay like before but for text icon size there should be an option to add single line or double line for the text...

Icon labels are truncated from the last update! They was word wrapped before and only truncated for very long app names. Now, almost all are truncated because all the app names are in only one line for each icon. Please, fix it. Thank you!

v2.3.3 (May 5, 2014)

Icon scale options for homescreen, dock, folder, and drawer

Fixed icon cropping bug after resizing

Other improvements and bug fixes

Updated translations

Direct APK download

Download from Google Play
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
The unified icon size option was introduced to ensure the best icon quality. The old scaling method might make icons blurry when they are stretched. The latest version (v2.3.3) brings back the icon scaling options for homescreen, folder, dock, and drawer. However, these only allow scaling down. To make icons larger, please use the new icon size option in advanced settings. You may also combine the icon size and icon scale options to make icons larger on the homescreen but smaller on the dock. The truncated icon label bug has also been fixed in this version.

Have you manually change the icons before? The cropping bug should also have been fixed.

I believe that is not part of Nova Launcher. It is implemented in the MissedIt app. Yes, it is possible in 4.2.2, but in a hacky way (accessibility service) that causes issues on certain devices. Apex Notifier uses the proper notifications API introduced in 4.3 to support apps like WhatsApp.

Custom icons should no longer be cropped after updating to the latest version.

Fixed in latest version. Please update.
[Android Apps and Games] amarjit_rsingh:
Actually to work properly only thing required is Nova launcher and tesla unread (both beta version) morever you don't have to enable it through accessibility for it to work. MissedIT worked but the count read is always inaccurate.

if you can go through the tesla unread api detail here: http://novalauncher.com/teslaunread-api/ it will be great if the same works with apex notifier
[Android Apps and Games] XieTzu:

Wow! The fastest response with an update available I've ever seen! Now, the text of the icons are shown as always. Thank you very much! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ximmox:
Wow, great work and explanation in such a short time, thank you for these things:

1. Explaining that the icon size changes were mainly for UPscaling, which makes perfect sense. I never tried to do that before because it always looked crappy, will look into your new method soon.

2. Fixing the truncate issue and giving the users the different icon sizes back.

3. Enormous speed of fixing it all back to the known quality of Apex. :)

I've decided to try out Apex a few days ago (currently I'm using Nova). I bought Apex Pro.

I'm trying to organize my app drawer, but for some reason, when I make new tabs - they are always empty. Downloaded apps, system apps, or even custom tabs - they just show up empty.

I've attached a photo.

Has anyone experienced this bug?

I'm using CM 11.0 M5.

anyone else having problems with the google now widget? If widget placed on a home screen Force closes google. thought google search crashes where caused by something else but turnes out its the widget on apex.

Re the v2.3.3 update: A number of people on Play Store are complaining of lag with the Card stack homescreen transition. Interestingly, it's not a problem on my S4 (i337, 4.3). However, I have a BIG issue with the Flip transition. To say it lags is an understatement; it comes to a dead stop midway during the page transition!

I don't use Flip, so it's not a concern, but just FYI for the OP.

Cannot set wallpaper

I have a weird problem - I can't set the wallpaper on my TF700T with Apex 2.3.3 and Crombi-KK ROM. If I go into the Apex wallpaper settings app and select a wallpaper, the "Set wallpaper" button somehow ends up under the "Home" button and pressing in that area just sends me back to the home screen. I'm not sure if it's the launcher or the ROM, or a combination of both...

Edit: I noticed that this only happens when I select "Apex Wallpapers" form the wallpaper menu. If I choose "CM11 Wallpaper", the "Set wallpaper" link/button appears correctly above the Home button.

Any ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] replica9000:
I have 2 Zooper widgets on my home screen. The top one looks exactly the same after upgrade one I set the margin to none. The bottom one became taller. Instead of changing all of the coordinates, I changed the grid from 5x4 to 6x4, and pushed that widget down. Not perfect, but close enough for now.

In the folder section (only for the folders in the drawer, for the folders on th desktop, you have to hid the files), there should be an option where you can check and not let the file appear in the drawer too. As for the dock, once you put the app in the dock, just hid the app in the drawer.

Yes, I know and I use it, but I think it could be made automatically as a setting in app drawer. It only needs to check what apps has been added to any other place, hide it from the app drawer and don't let to put any app in more than one place.

Screen stuttering

I searched the thread but it appears there arent any posts in a few months about this.

I had to switch to Nova temporarily because the swiping from screen to screen is so jerky. Done all the usual tweaks after a factory reset, still jerky as hell.

Is this a known recent bug? Where can I report it?

Nexus 7 2012

CM 11

Rooted (obviously)

Nova on same device has smooth swiping, shame he hasn't been able to update for months.
[Android Apps and Games] hawkwind212:
You must missed the last update, according to google store's time stamp, the last update for Apex launcher was done on May 5th, 2014, therefore I do not understand what you mean by "he hasn't able to update for months". You must be looking at the update time for Apex Pro, which is just a license key, not the actual launcher itself.

Oh, okay, I misunderstood. However, can I just say that I don't understand the obsession with update for NOVA. Many people think because there is no update in a while means that the dev has abandoned NOVA development. Why should NOVA receives any update? It's not broken so it needs no update to fix it. Also, NOVA launcher doesn't need anymore features, its file size is already excessive in term of efficiency.

P. S. My apology, I know I should be over on NOVA forum discussing these, but it seems where ever I go, there is somebody complainting about NOVA update.
