Same issue here! Free version was in cashed now pro version consumes too much ram. It says 30 mb but with the free one I had 400 mb free at boot now I have 350 so it seems like it consumes about 50mb. That's a lot of ram!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
Apex only popped into 'running' when I pressed on the running tab - and it's using 9.4mb

I am getting a lot of redraws again with this version though (v1.1.0 Pro) gonna try installing it as a system app again and see if that works better :)
[Android Apps and Games] truewt:
You can check how much it truly consumes by accessing it on the settings in the app drawer, under "manage apps"

Oh God you complain about RAM... you need to have 512MB RAM to run ICS the way it is meant to be, and if an app takes a lot of RAM, don't complain, you have enough, or you are running a custom ROM on a device that has few RAM...

Galaxy S users users should not complain, you shouldn't use ICS if you don't know what you're doing... Galaxy S can't even handle touchwiz 3.0 properly...(my cousin found himself with angry birds killed from foreground...

Hi,

Maybe Apex consumes more RAM (for some and not others) but for me if it helps to have no lag and redraws (even if I never had a single redraw and if it's perhaps not that) it does not bother me at all.

With 10 widgets per home with 5 home (:D) it's normal that Apex uses more RAM...

For me in apps running about 14 mb and about 20 in cache...After used it (settings my home it's more about 20 and 30).

Do not worry about the RAM used by Apex if all is fine...Let Android manage it's RAM...And Apex works...

Also I don't think Apex sufers of memory leaks...

For me it's perfect not a single lag in the transition home/app drawer!

:)

Its in the common nature of men that ur never happy with what u have.U have apex then u think that nova is better and u want it.U have nova then crave for it and want to have apex as ur not happy with it .

Solution:

1)Buy neither of them and install both of them free version

2)Buy them both and support the devs.

3)Be a rebel and buy an

Iphone you won't have to worry as there is no choice here lol.****ty.I suggest this.

Permissions

I think the new permissions this version requires are terrible. It wants access to:

Why?

I think that's unacceptable. I don't want to grant so many permissions for a feature I don't even want or need. And in fact a feature I can't even use in the free version! Also, I can understand why the first permissions is needed for this feature, but why the address book access??

I have not installed the update, and I won't. I really hope this will be removed.

PS. I also wish Android would provide way more granular permissions!
[Android Apps and Games] pedmond:
So you want to know how many unread mails you have on Gmail... without syncing Gmail? D'oh :p

Well, the HTC Mail-application syncs Gmail..But the Gmail-app sucks, so :P

Or you could always install one of the permissions management apps and revoke the permissions you're not happy with. Depending on your ROM you may even be able to do it directly.

How can I get my custom Drawer Tabs to show up next to one another, they way the Apps and Widgets Tabs do, instead of as a drop down menu. In the Google Play Screencaps for Apex it shows this being done. http://bit.ly/JQucFz

The closest I have come is:

-Check off Show Secondary Apps

-Customize Secondary Apps tab

but that only gives me one additional tab that displays the way I want

PS- Apex Launcher Pro is awesome everyone go buy it :D

Feature request:

Set dock as overlay.

Please, if possible, implement this in the next version.

Great launcher!
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Feature request: after opening an app from the app drawer, never return to the app drawer after exiting that app. Currently this is how the app drawer behaves and it just doesn't make sense to me. This can be avoided by pressing home instead of back, but often I do not want to keep an app running in the background so I press back instead of home.
[Android Apps and Games] truewt:
This isn't what I would want so I'll vote against such implementation.

home screen not centered since update

I use the free version. I have CM9A2 build date 4/17.

I upgraded last night. Everything is fine except for my home screen is not centered. My dog, Tami is not centered. She is now closer to the bottom of the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Rovian:
Aww, you tried to scale the photo again dude? btw, cute dog.. :o ^^

Thank you. However, I didnt do anything to tami's photo. I just updated the apex launcher.

Request: please add the ability to select icons not only from ADW icon packs - there's a lot of others available around the Market.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Of course, it would ideally be an option...

But I'm curious, could you give me an example of a situation in which you would rather go back to seeing the app drawer over your homescreen after leaving an app?
[Android Apps and Games] truewt:
When I'm bored and browsing through my apps on my app drawer. I don't have much shortcuts on my home screen, only widgets on my home screen so I would be accessing apps through the drawer 95% of the time (or from status bar)

It's very dependent on your organisation.

An option might be a better solution but it will make the launcher massive to customize.

Ah, have you tried to set Tami's photo again from the gallery? that would happen to me sometimes seeing my wallpaper set incorrectly after an update, I'd go and scale it again from the gallery and it would appear the way it was. :)

Changelog: Updated transitions ( free version )... Will it come someday?
[Android Apps and Games] RY5:
Hi,

Cool app!

But problem with black icons in app drawer (force gpu accel on). Transparency is on, equivalent of icons disappearing?

Galaxy Nexus

Anyone have news about this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
It is indeed very dependent on your organization, and I'd have to say your case is the exception, not the rule.. I think it is safe to assume that the general case is where the user would open the app drawer if they have one specific application in mind.

Also, an option can't possibly be that difficult to implement (it would just require having the app drawer closed upon returning to the homescreen, just like what happens when you press the home button now), and it wouldn't affect your user experience at all if you don't touch the option. That being said, what do you mean by "it will make the launcher massive to customize"? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] ragnarokx:
Search did not provide any results, so if this has been resolved please let me know.

Since Nova now has this feature we know it's possible. Does Apex have/will Apex have this feature of being able to set nav bar buttons in AOKP to launch the app drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] Moonbloom:
With the Pro version, this just became by far the best ICS based launcher.

I'm still missing 1 feature that will complete my switch from ADW Launcher EX to Apex Launcher Pro, and that is the feature to hide the top bar (The one with google search bar, voice search and app drawer icon).

It exists in ADW Launcher EX, and it gives a much cleaner look.

I only use ADW Launcher EX because of the features it has, and for the fact these features complete my HUBS setup.

If this feature is already there and I somehow missed it, I'd be very happy if someone could show me where it is (:

And a little side-note. The "Cube out" (rough translation) transition effect when changing screens on Apex Pro is different than on ADW Launcher EX, any plans to change this? I find it much nicer and smoother on ADW than on Apex.

Overall, a big /highfive for the developers on this (:

I'm looking at the options right now, and this is what I see under "Homescreen settings":

Layout:

Number of screens

Default screen

Automatic grid size

Portrait grid

Landscape grid

Horizontal margin

Vertical margin

Preview animation

Scrolling:

Infinite scrolling

Elastic scrolling

Overscroll effect

Minimum scrolling time

Transition effect

Wallpaper:

Show wallpaper

Wallpaper mode

Indicator:

Show desktop indicator

Homescreen indicator position

Fade homescreen indicator

Hide element:

Hide shadows

Hide icon labels

And that's it. There is no "Show persistant search bar" in any section, and there's only those 2 in the "Hide element" part..? o.O

[Android Apps and Games] kikex76:
I was wondering if is possible to add an option to enable tab on screen indicators for fast screen switching. Sometimes reaching a particular screen may take more than 3 swypes to get to a screen on app drawer or home screen. That's the only useful feature i miss from Samsung Touchwiz.

I added a couple of pictures from Go Launcher with ICS theme that has the option for it, but I hate the buttons at bottom of app drawer which takes precious space from the apps.

If you find this feature request useless or stupid, go ahead and feel free to shoot me ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:

Try reinstalling, and make sure you've got the latest version. I'd suggest reset the launcher to defaults just to be sure, too. But the ability to hide the search bar has been in there since the beginning...
[Android Apps and Games] Moonbloom:
I just (while on Pro version), restored default settings, then in titanium backup i wiped all data, uninstalled, rebooted my tablet, installed normal version from market (not pro), went into the settings, and the option is still not there. What. The. Hell..

I'm on a Transformer Prime, stock ROM, latest update, rooted.

Picture of the settings while on Pro version, and you can see the overscroll effect, so i'm trying to go further down, but there simply aren't any other options.

And after i did all the stuff mentioned above, running basic version:

[Android Apps and Games] ack154:
I dont have this option either. Latest Pro version on Galaxy Tab 2.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
So the common element here seems to be that the option is missing from tablets?
[Android Apps and Games] brantje:
Yea, no dock for tablets :(
[Android Apps and Games] ovivo:
On my HTC HD2 I change LCD density to 120 to enable the tablet UI (using Xylograph's AOKP ROM). After the DPI change "Show Persistent Search Bar" is gone from Apex settings. So to remove the search bar I have to change this option to "never" while still using the default 240 DPI. Then I can switch to 120 DPI and search bar is gone also in tabled ui.
[Android Apps and Games] mariachi202:
is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Grif_07:
Sorry if this feedback was writting already, but I cant to read all 200+ pages. :)

If you use not Default language and then change orientation in settings (only on not-main-settings-screen) the language will automaticaly change to default (English in my case). After that language on home screen changed to Default too. Only Launcher restarting helps.

You can see all bugs what I described on the attached video.

Don't understand those that say it is laggy. On HTC resound we are having to slow the scrolling down to see the new transitions. lol
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
It's snappy and smooth on my Note, but maybe some of the users that are reporting lag are running it on low or mid-level devices?
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
It's smoother than other launchers I've used and my phone is by no means a high end device!

I'm finding it smoother than my ADW EX setup that I was running on eclair, froyo and gingerbread!

And my spica only has 128mb ram in total!

I'm a bit unclear on this, but if i buy the app, will i be able to make folders in app drawer?

I've been searching the thread a bit, but can't find a direct answer to this.

Thanks for an otherwise awesome launcher!:)
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
Not folders, but you can make custom tabs

Swyped from my Galaxy Spica using Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
Not really technically true either

You can't actually have anymore than 2 tabs visible at once + widgets but holding down on tabs gives you a drop down menu to make and change the current tab.

I was a little sad when I found out this is how it worked I really want to be able to have like 5 tabs across the top that scroll when swiping (like the home dock does with more icons)
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
You can have 3 Apps tab, you know ?

Just long tap on widget tab and choose "Switch to apps", you can then customize one more app group ;)

It's not 5, but I guess Dennisxl updated the code to support customization (before it was fixed tabs All + Downloaded + Widget)

Maybe in the future we may have more ;)

Different setup on Landscape and portrait

I have use Apex for a while now and I just changed firmware on my Nexus to one that has tablet mode so I can use the resolution of the Nexus.

The one thing I really miss out on now is the possibility to have a different setup of icons and widgets in portrait and landscape mode.

Whatever looks good in one, either looks bad or is missing widgets and icons in the other mode.
[Android Apps and Games] ledrac:
Yes. Both ADW Ex and Nova launchers support this feature. It is useful if you can toggle the dock on/off when using this feature (ADW Ex, Nova and Go launchers all support dock toggle). The inability to toggle the dock through gesture / key binding keeps me from using Apex as my default launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] TomDeSmet:
I think this is a very nice launcher, but what keeps me from using this is the lack of 2 features:

1. Option to use smaller icons (360 Launcher has small/large icon option and Go Launcher Ex lets you decide the exact size of the cions)

2. The ability to uninstall apps directly from the app drawer.

Any chance these will be implemented in a future version? Than I would buy the pro immediatly!
