I have transparency with Sense Launcher, but not Apex.

So it should not just be an ROM-thingy.

Is it just me or icon labels don't have dropdown shadow anymore in 4.0.4? In 4.0.3 they have and that looks much better and is better in light wallpapers...

[Android Apps and Games] BRKotucs:
It doesn't seem to be doing it.. My wallpapers don't look right using this launcher. There's got to be something I'm not doing right..
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
My wallpapers look fine...

Still getting lots of redraws though :(

A full-fat "lock in memory" option like we used to have in ADW Launcher would be nice :D

the Lock Launcher in Memory option in RAM Manager doesn't work - something hard-coded into Apex itself would be great :D

Beta 1 of Apex Pro v1.1 seems a lot faster than beta 2. The app drawer is a bit sluggish in beta 2 with the same settings as beta 1. Hope this gets ironed out for the final release.
[Android Apps and Games] c3k:
I miss the folder too, but in last beta you can find app group that are a perfect replacement!

[Android Apps and Games] peterbonge:
Nice launcher, but it doesn't handle widgets with fully colored backgrounds very well. Even if the complete widget background is colored, Apex always adds a one pixel border around it and that is ugly.

I'm using Widgetsoid with a custom background color and with Nova or ADW (on 2.3.6) there is no border around it. With Apex it doesn't look very good. See the attached screenshot with 3 sample widgets. There shouldn't be any space between the widgets. What the screenshot doesn't show very good: The two long widgets don't cover the whole width. On the phone the sides are looking similar to the gap on the top.

[Android Apps and Games] tbob18:
The new version is almost perfect for my needs! Thanks a lot for the Ungrouped option. Now if we can just display more tabs (at least 4) I will buy it as soon as it is available in the Play Store. ;)

widgets don't update

I've seen posts about this, but no solutions:

My widgets don't always update. Restarting Apex works for a while, but eventually I find "old" info displaying on my BeWeather and Pure Calendar widgets.

I'm running Apex 1.0.2 on Fusion ICS (Android 4.0.3). I have a Samsung Captivate.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I know I could change launchers, but I like everything else about Apex.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] KBanause:
you should update to the latest version of Apex, check if you still have these problems and then ask your question again...

Pure Calendar Widgets is updating fine for me on Apex 1.0.5 (the latest stble version)
[Android Apps and Games] eelton:
I realize that, as a general principal. But I've tried updating Apex, and it says it's an incompatible update. Apparently Apex was tweaked a bit to work with the Fusion ROM, for which it's the default launcher. (I did try uninstalling Apex and then reinstalling the newer version.) It's of course possible that tweaking is the source of the problem...
[Android Apps and Games] tharris297:
Definately going to puchase the Pro version. With the way you all handle my Fancy Widgets situation, I'm a life long customer!
[Android Apps and Games] yajirob3:
A suggestion on the action choice. Please add dock hide/unhide toggle. I'd like to map it to 2 finger swipe down.
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
After setting permissions, it's working fine with a lot fewer redraws :)

What does that do then? Takes away the system's permission to kill the app does it?
[Android Apps and Games] Kameo:
I don't get it, what are we supposed to set perms on ?
[Android Apps and Games] dyetheskin:
I noticed with the new release that the app stays running while prior versions would cache to the background. missed the background cache since it actually reduces cpu usage while using other apps

[Android Apps and Games] bigshape:
i just installed beta2 and pro license

when i enable the option to show missed call count, then attempt to change the phone app, i get a crash where the screen goes black and apex is unable to restart.

(for info, i was attempting to change notification to exdialer from default phone app)

subsequently i had to uninstall and reinstall apex to get it to work again.

after reinstall, i was able to restore apex settings, however trying to restore desktop settings resulted in the same crash (although i hadn't saved the settings since enabling missed call count)

this is on sgs2 without root.

thanks.

as an aside - would it be possible to get unread email count on the default mail app?
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
Updating these with it installed as a system app is becoming a pain in the arse!

Another vote from me for SU permissions rather than installing to /system/app
[Android Apps and Games] vlt96:
Or both... if it gets updated it will remain a system app...

Just wait;)

Pourrais-tu éviter de remplacer des lignes correctes par des fausses ? Parce que déjà "tirroir" ça n'existe pas, c'est "tiroir". Et surtout, "Drawer" c'est employé en français par la majorité de la communauté Android...

Et certaines lignes ont étés volontairement raccourcies pour ne pas déconner sur les petits écrans, inutile de les re-rallonger quoi...

This is the most beautiful launcher that I have ever used!!

Despite I has already bought Nova Launcher Prime, I will surely purchase Apex Launcher Premium as soon as it will be available.
[Android Apps and Games] nikosrs4:
I have said about that before and people started telling me that I shouldn't use 7x7 grid or 7 icon dock, but then why there is an option for that and if I can't use it in a 720p screen, then where should I use it?

Anyway, folder icons are cut off in that grid size. The screenshot shows how it is on the right and how it should be on the left(I replaced the icon instead of setting an icon as a folder background).

I hope that the dev is reading our comments :p

Apex has an issue with zoomed wallpaper i know this has been stated but i have the same issue with adw makes me think its an ics issue not the launchers
[Android Apps and Games] Zelig:
Firstly, dennisxl, fantastic job. Can't wait to pay you for all your hard work making Apex the best ICS launcher.

Secondly, thank you for implementing my "Multiple, configurable TABs (App Groups) in the App Drawer" idea (http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/f...ltiple-configurable-tabs-app-groups-in-the-ap).

This takes Apex, and quite frankly ICS and Android, to a whole new level in terms of UI.

As others have mentioned, I would also like to have more than 3 tabs.

BUG REPORT: I have converted the Widgets tab to an Apps tab, but the scrolling doesn't work properly - but just on this 3rd tab. Works fine on the other two tabs.

I use Vertical Continuous (apps) scrolling for the Drawer.

On the 3rd Apps tab if I have less than 1 page of apps, there should be no scrolling, but if you swipe up or down, the icons scroll off the screen to a blank app drawer page before the icons then re-appear.

If I have more than 1 page of apps (eg I make this 3rd tab ALL APPS), the scrolling still doesnt work. If I swipe up, instead of showing more apps, I get the blank drawer screen again before it reverts back to the first screen of apps.

I therefore can't use the 3rd tab for ALL APPS as you can never access the apps beyond the first screen.

Feature requests: Navigation bar - ability to resize (smaller) and move it to the top

Hi,

I think the navigation bar takes up too much real estate. So I wish it could be less tall (or thick) as an option. I'd really love it if this feature were added. I wouldn't mind it this was put in the Pro version. It's worth paying for.

I'd also love to be able to position the navigation bar at the top of the screen, which is actually much easier on the thumb (for me) when you're holding the phone in one hand. This option is less critical than the resize option though.

This launch is already soooo good!
[Android Apps and Games] VincentDHam:
the launcher has nothing to do with the navigation bar. thats ROM specific. in the sustemUI.apk ...
[Android Apps and Games] SimmoF:
Could you please ad gestures for folders on the dock. Only icons have gestures at the moment. Not sure about widgets as I haven't tried it.
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
No, no gestures on widgets

Good idea though :)

I have a wallpaper issue too but it's not a major issue... Whenever the launcher redraws, it shows the far-left screen of the wallpaper before jumping back to the centre screen - scrolling is turned off so I'm not sure why it's doing this...

[Android Apps and Games] crm4:
Gesture on dock icons doesn't work all the time, even when I'm doing it very carefully :(
[Android Apps and Games] Quiksilver78:
I feel the same way.

I'm on a HTC One X device and even though there is an option to change font size, it barely has an impact on the Launcher/App Drawer in general.

I usually prefer small font size on the One X, and that makes the font size on the app drawer slightly smaller. 'Large' is better but then menu options in the One X get truncated, plus other options on apps also become way too big.

If it could be set somewhere what font size we prefer to use (that is applicable to elements in Apex Launcher) that'd be awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] Red_Vex:
Just to know:

I look 4 two features:

- Folders in app drawer

- Uninstall apps directly from app drawer like go launcher or touchwiz.

Are they planned in the future release?

No matter if free or paid version, eventually i buy it.
[Android Apps and Games] Bieniu:
It's possible to add to Apex Launcher handling of unread notification from NewsRob?
[Android Apps and Games] ears1991:
Latest version of great, little bug ive noticed:

when adding an app to a group, it doesnt always disappear from my ungrouped apps tab till ive restarted the launcher

I Recently installed Apex 1.5 on my SGS2 and it's really a great launcher. The only problem i ran into, was that my wallpaper on the homescreen was zoomed, wich is really annoying.

What can i do to resolve this?
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Install QuickPic or Wallbase and uncheck "Use default cropper".
[Android Apps and Games] Superket87:
Quickpic is installed, but in where do i find "Use default cropper"?
[Android Apps and Games] ssewk2x:
Confirmed on beta 3. This feature was the whole reason I went ahead and took the upgrade and grabbed the pro license. My decision to buy will be largely based on whether this gets added back in.

Let me clarify a bit. On my install, the configuration for unread notifications exists and appears to work, letting me place the notification on whatever app I want. But, no matter where I place it (either on the gmail app or the k9mail app, for example) no unread count ever shows up. Not in the app drawer, not on the dock, and not on any home screen.

The possibility exists that I'm doing something wrong - so does anyone else have this feature working on Beta 3?

Thanks.

Edit: unread notifications appear to be working for SMS. GMail, however, is not working.

Edit 2: never mind. I was doing something wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] ubernode54:
I believe App Drawer Folders are available in the beta [OP]. Grab that, and then in options select About or Pro and you should get a trial.

AOKP ROM: set AppDrawer as long press nav bar button

Hey guys,

i'm using the AOKP rom with the APEX launcher on my galaxy nexus (gsm 4.0.4). As you might know, on aokp rom you can change the nav bar buttons and add long press actions on each of your nav bar buttons. So i was thinking about adding the app drawer as a long press action on my home button, so i can access my app drawer from everywhere. But unfortunatelly there's no such app drawer "app" showing up in my custom apps list. Not even tasker will show me app drawer as a direct link.

Does anyone of you know how i could access the app drawer as a custom app or does still need to be implemented in apex launcher? If so, i would love to see the developers adding this in the next version! as far as i know, that's gonna be a feature on the next version of the nova launcher.. but i really wanna stay with apex acutally.
[Android Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
just long press then choose Apex Action and then choose open the drawer

[Android Apps and Games] dpaine88:
I love this launcher but I have a pretty major bug. I use a regular wallpaper but prefer to have it not scroll.

When I choose wallpaper scrolling off, all is fine, UNTIL I reboot. When I reboot the wallpaper does not scroll but is one screen off to the right. So instead of the wallpaper being centered, it is pushed to the right.

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Android Apps and Games] LGIQEXPO:
It seems that all ICS launchers suffer the same thing right now... they are all in beta... they stay in beta for so damn long, they all seem to close and reopen after a while, they are all about 85-90% equal to eachother, none look different and none bring much thats really unique opposed to so very small additions. Very disappointed to be honest.
[Android Apps and Games] cwhitney24:
Well the good thing is that you do not have to use one of of them right now. Bad thing is you feel the need to come in here and talk like that.

[Android Apps and Games] dodge3003:
Nova has infinite scrolling (to the right) but it does not work for me properly and leaves my screen looking a right mess. I will try this launcher instead. Thanks for your efforts. DHD :-)
[Android Apps and Games] LGIQEXPO:
I understand that app development takes time. I do not however understand why ROM makers PRE-INSTALL these, thus not allowing me to take your suggestion.

Also, any developer with a brain should know that to be successful with making apps, its good to be unique. Its like if I copy the Facebook app and call it Bookface. Is that worth anything? No. Make a app that is unique.
[Android Apps and Games] DT3CH:
If you are installing ROMs then you shouldnt have any problems using another launcher and getting rid of the one you dont like since its pretty easy basic stuff......

Or there is another option of not using that ROM?

Your complaining is much ado about nothing
[Android Apps and Games] bananove:
scroll in folders?

Is it possible to have scrollable folders?

Now it is only possible to have 16 objects in a folder on the homescreen :/
[Android Apps and Games] fjcb09:
Great launcher iam testing righ now and its going great A+
[Android Apps and Games] Turge:
That makes sense. You're coming here to complain about the launcher because you fear some developer may add it to a ROM one day, thus forcing you to have to use it. You definitely have an interesting way of going about things.
[Android Apps and Games] bala_gamer:
@ dennisxl(OP)

you have done a great work mate!! first of all my wishes for that :)

your launched definitely stands different from other ics launchers in many way, using it for a day and here is my feedback queries.

* multi dpi compatible is awesome.

* transparent app drawer is gr8(would love to see an option to set custom background).

some feedback on current version.

* the no of rows and columns set for home screen affects both the homescreen and app drawer.

* i havent seen anything about the word hardware acceleration in this thread, your launcher is accelrated right?
[Android Apps and Games] ellite:
Using it on my Desire and i think its great.

It's extremely fast and smooth.

But on my tablet, that has no physical keys, i can't access the Apex settings... No menu key for that.
[Android Apps and Games] schoerb:
Which ICS-Version do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] marty331:
That's what I thought also. Click on the app drawer, top right, and click the menu bar in there, Apex settings are there.
[Android Apps and Games] Turge:
Been using the launcher for a day now and I'm really loving it.

One thing I noticed though is when I configure the grid to 10x10, the folder icon gets cropped while in landscape mode. Portrait is ok though.

Anyways, keep up the great work!

duplicate app icons

I've read all 24 pages and didn't see this problem so I may be the only one. It only happens using this launcher. When I drag an app icon from the app drawer to the homescreen, the app icon remains in the app drawer as a duplicate icon. I can't tell which apps I've moved from the app drawer. Usually when an icon is dragged to a screen it is removed from the app drawer. :confused:

Please disregard this post. I was totally confused. Note to self: never post before having morning coffee.

[Android Apps and Games] shazui:
OK so I think I've done something wrong but I'm not sure what.

I now no longer have the blue, moving tile effect when attempting to scroll past the last tile on the homescreen. It's not a big deal but would be nice to know how to fix it, any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] BonestormDW8:
You got me wrong. Your method is only working when adding something to the homescreen.

But i'm talking about the navigation bar (not the dock). There you have to change the long press action via rom control - navigation bar options on aokp rom. When you try to chose a custom app there, the "apex actions" wont show up as they do when you add something to the homescreen. Thats the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
you have the same smartphone as me , so I don't understand your need : I have the action for App drawer on the dock and it is really working well
[Android Apps and Games] BonestormDW8:
you have to disable endless scroling in home screen options.
[Android Apps and Games] shazui:
I thought this at first too but infinite scrolling is disabled :confused:
