I love this launcher on my Transformer Prime, but recently my home screen has had the icons blanked out every now and then when I swipe between screens. I can still access the task bar & settings but have to force close & restart the launcher to fix it. This just started all of a sudden, and I didn't add any new widgets to any screens lately - only some new app icon/shortcuts.

I backed up with TB, cleared data & cache in the app and it hasn't done it again since

in case anyone else is having this issue.

Apex should be ported to the Jelly Bean codebase... code improvements, background for widgets in the widget-drawer, self moving items in the homescreen etc.
[Android Apps and Games] iamnotkurtcobain:
Please update Apex for Jelly Bean. It's not stable/usable for cm10/JB
[Android Apps and Games] bencairns:
Seems to be working well enough for me on the cm10 preview. What problems have you experienced??
[Android Apps and Games] Pfeffernuss:
Works just fine on both a phone and a tablet running JB.
[Android Apps and Games] Link_of_Hyrule:
Man seems like forever since the last update hopefully soon it will come out!
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
I agree... running it perfectly fine on cm10... not a single hiccup... I can wait a bit for those added features that the stock jb launcher brought... let's be real, how often do you add a new widget and have to move it around? Not often enough for me to care... the widget drawer does look better... but again, how often do I go to that area once things are setup? Keep up the great work on this launcher!!

[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Love the launcher, it's pretty nice. Android Does does good work. Anybody else having a problem dragging an icon from homescreen to homescreen? My Otterbox Defender (case) may be part of the problem, but I can get half the icon off the screen and it's not quite enough to trigger the homescreen switch. It's easier to just delete the icon, change homescreen, and drag the icon out of the drawer. Could we maybe get a setting to increase the sensitivity? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Grid and margin settings? Looks like you have it set to 6x6, have you tried playing with the vertical margin, or thought about increasing the number of rows to use up the extra space?
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
Might be the case... I find the sensitivity to be good, if not slightly sensitive... I've had to go back to a screen multiple times because it changed screens on me when I just wanted to place it in the last column
[Android Apps and Games] exzacklyright:
I'm pretty sure i set the vertical margin to zero but I'm check when i get home.

Creating more rows doesn't do anything.

without updates for jelly bean, not really
[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
Seriously? give the guy a freaking chance APEX works perfectly fine on jelly bean I use it on a phone and a tablet.

Sure it may be nicer when he uses the jelly bean launcher code and guess what he already said a few pages back that he is working on it. These things take time Apex has a metric Butt load of changes from the stock launcher those things take time to add too a new code base. Does CyanogenMod 10 already have 100% of the features of CM9? Answer NO because it takes time to do it right.

Can the dev just do a git merge and push out a version based on the jelly bean launcher? Maybe but then you guys all all going to complain about all the bugs and crap that doesn't work because he didn't take the time too do it properly.

Give the guy a chance to do it properly the first time.....

Widgets not sizing properly

I'm having an issue with widgets getting cut off. If I resize them to take up more space than they were designed for this will sometimes fix it, but other times (alarm widget for example), it has unexpected results. I'm on stock, unrooted AT&T GS3 with apex 1.2.5 paid version. The attachments show the alarm widget as it is added (cut off) and resized where it starts showing half of another alarm. Should these be stretching and shrinking when they are resized rather than just providing a larger available window for the widget to sit within (sorry, don't really know how to put in words what I'm trying to say there).
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
I've seen widgets act both ways. I think whether they get stretched or just cut off depends on the widget code.
[Android Apps and Games] omnomnomkimiiee:
Stop being a prick.

If you don't like the efforts the dev is putting into this, why don't you go ahead and code your own one ?

I'm sure it'll end up as good as Apex *sarcasm*.

How is expecting updates for jelly bean being a prick? Some of us also paid for Apex too.
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
Expecting it to be updated for jelly bean isn't being a prick, but expecting those updates INSTANTLY is. And you didn't just do that, you were marking it down for not having the update yet. Go away and find some manners.
[Android Apps and Games] lucidman:
Would you expect other launchers to have the same problem if it depends on the widget's code? I ask because Nova is not showing this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] yeahtyeaht:
Are there any news for the new update? Nova launcher is already updated
[Android Apps and Games] wwevo:
And if you paid for some Windows XP software you expect free and instant updates to Windows 7? Jelly Bean is a new OS, apex was written for ICS. Paid or not paid, there's no contractional obligation to provide updates at all.

Updates will take some time, jelly bean users are the minority. And it's in the works, pressing the issue will have no positive effect whatsoever. So yes EXPECTING and demanding updates is being a prick. Waiting for updates or even helping with them, that's the deal. Don't ask what the dev can do to help you, als what you can do to help the dev *g*

SGS3 Apex Widget Size Problemq

On version 1.2.5 on my S3 it appears that the widgets are being assigned a different size than when using TouchWiz. Really annoying on dual clocks and the alarm widget, it also renders the music widget unusable.

Anyone have a solution to this, or shall I wait for the next beta?
[Android Apps and Games] shaneydroid:
When using apex on my nexus 7, it has a tablet style search bar with app drawer icon in the top right of the screen.

Is it possible to show the regular search bar as seen on the stock N7 launcher?

I know I can do away with the persistent search and use the search widget but I am wanting the regular persistent bar.

Windows XP software as in software for Windows XP. I have tons of software whose support ended with xp. A lot of games for example. Sadly, there is no obligation for the game developer to provide updates if I upgrade my operating system...

Are they automatically updated? Don't you choose to update yourself?

[Android Apps and Games] ekerazha:
Then the developer should disable installation for Nexus devices.

Updates are automatically downloaded, then it asks to restart the device to complete installation. There's no choice.
[Android Apps and Games] stesmo:
Small Bug: if you have disabled icon labels on the homesceen and you open a folder and edit the label in the folder view and close the folder this folder then has the label displayed under the icon. Only on this folder. I also have custom folder icons, don't know if it has something to do with it.

Just to let you know.

Stesmo

Edit: also happens upon changing the icon. Restarting Apex corrects it.

there is option in Apex to never check for updates

Overscroll effect bug

I've notice this for several versions now. To Recreate: Scroll to the far left or right to where you see the over scroll effect, then quickly scroll back to the previous screen before the over scroll effect goes away. The result is that the over scroll effect will be stuck and visible until you over scroll again. It's kinda hard to recreate and doesn't happen often in normal day use, but when it does it's very noticeable and bugs me.

Is there an option to create multiple tabs in app drawer with apex?

《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi :),

Yes, don't remember exactly "how to" since I changed my launcher but it's possible, I did it ;)

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ajamils:
Yes, it is possible with the PAID version.
[Android Apps and Games] superbobup:
Is it possible to change the OPEN folder background? For example, rather than the stock all black, can I change it to transparent or a custom image?

Cheers :D
[Android Apps and Games] bala_gamer:
Am using ng the pro version but couldn't figure out where the settings is. Would be helpful if you people share the method

《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
[Android Apps and Games] wwevo:
No, there's not. There are three tabs which you can configure freely, but there is no way to have more than those three tabs. You can have groups though, every tab can have multiple "sub tabs" so to speak.
[Android Apps and Games] ajamils:
- Go to the app drawer

- Click on Apps (left most heading)

- You will then see a drop down with following options

Add new app group

Setup group
[Android Apps and Games] MMoodyB:
Themes can change the folder background, and so you'll need to find one you like. Or make your own.

Good thing is that you can mix & match what is applied from each theme, so you can just apply a themes' skin to get it to change the folder background and leave the icons, and fonts & wallpaper untouched.
[Android Apps and Games] superbobup:
Beautiful. I'll look into it
[Android Apps and Games] ajamils:
Does anyone have solution for this?
[Android Apps and Games] bala_gamer:
its sad to see such a great launcher having no additional tabs functionality.:(

groups are not that useful when compared to tabs...
[Android Apps and Games] wwevo:
One of the few things I am hoping for are tabs ;) never used that group thing, long press is a bit inconvenient at the top of the screen if you use your phone with just one hand.
[Android Apps and Games] bala_gamer:
exactly the point, swiping between tabs is much easier.

[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
Awesome update!!

Curious to know if the gesture was removed from the app drawer... example: I set swipe down to open my app drawer and swipe up to open text messages... I used to be able to use these gestures when the app drawer was open... seems this no longer works... I really loved the fact I can use those gestures in or out of the app drawer and they worked... am I the only one that noticed this on the latest 1.3.0 update?

I'll go back to and stay with the version I paid for if this is gonna be like this from now on... not a threat... just saying lol
[Android Apps and Games] rQvsnaps:
Very laggy on my sgs3, but only when homescreen transition effects are enabled.

[Android Apps and Games] jhericurls:
It is awesome but there's a bug. Sometimes the background isn't transparent.

Also I switched off all the animations, so when entering the app draw there's no transition, but exiting it there's always a transition, kind of annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] HTCF4N:
I found that by resetting Dalvik cache (clear) and wipe cache, this launcher became much more responsive and things worked. Howevr the preview screen still shows previews for only 3 of my 5 screens most the time. There's many great things in this launcher and hopefully it will continue to get better with updates!! Keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Zelig:
I have just come over to Apex from Nova.

Being able to turn off the animation when opening the App Drawer is almost reason enough to leave Nova behind........makes my phone feel so much slicker.

Only problem is when I hit the Home Button or Back Button to exit the App Drawer and go back to the homescreen, there is a Homescreen Animation ("fly in/out" ?) that I can't find anyway to disable ????

That animation doesn't occur when exiting an App back to the Homescreen, just when exiting the App Drawer.

Once Apex has the following features (currently in Nova), I doubt I will have any reason to go back to Nova:-

* Editable icons on homescreen and dock (both icon and label should be editable)

* Custom Dock with up to 7 icons (with 7 dock icons, I don't need multiple dock pages, although I am sure others want multiple dock pages)

* Adjustable margins (homescreens and dock)

I would also like to see the following new features in Apex:-

* 1x1 Widgets allowed in Dock (so I can put SMS Unread Count widget there)

* More homescreen grid options (say up to 10x10).

* Home key action setting needs to be 2 different settings so I can set different actions depending on whether I am already on the default homescreen or not.

Eg the 2 Behaviour Settings would be:-

"Home key action when NOT on default homescreen"

"Home key action when on default homescreen"

If I am not on my default homescreen, I want the home key action be "Show default screen".

If I am already on my default homescreen, then I want to be able to set the home key action as "Show/Hide notification".

Those who don't care about having different actions on or off the default homescreen can just set the 2 settings to the same action.

One more thing, can we make one of the Home key Actions "Show Recent Apps" so I don't have to do long press on home for the ICS Recent Apps screen. Might use that instead of show notification.
[Android Apps and Games] KBanause:
That's not because of deleting the dalvik-cache but because of the reboot. Clearing the dalvik-cache doesn't help in solving problems.

Greetings from my TF201 and KBanause
[Android Apps and Games] Zelig:
The feature I really want to see is Multiple, configurable TABs (App Groups) in the App Drawer.

Whilst some may like the idea of Folders in the App Drawer, what I would like to do is to organise my Apps in the App Drawer into separate TABs / App Groups. Of course, folders could still exist within these TABs.

Ideally, I would like the following tabs within my App Drawer:

Fav | Games | Tools | All | Widgets

The number of tabs and descriptions should be user configurable as others might want a "Media" tab for media apps or "Business" tab or a "Social" tab.

The existing Apps tab would become "All", with all apps appearing in that tab by default when you install a new app as they do now with no further user action required.

For the other custom tabs, the user must manually add the apps to appear within that tab, eg after creating the tab via settings, you then go into that tab in the App Drawer and long press to bring up a menu to add the shortcut of the app you want to appear in that tab, a bit like adding a shortcut to a homescreen.

Importantly, the same app should be able to appear in multiple tabs, eg my fav game at the moment is Stair Dismount, so I would add that app to my "Fav" tab and "Games" tab as well as it appearing in the "All" tab.

Within a TAB, apps would scroll VERTICALLY.

Swiping left or right would move you to the next TAB (with infinite loop scrolling between the tabs).

Settings should allow the User to set the TAB order (or at the very least, specify the default tab to start on).

Sorry if the above seems like a lot of separate feature requests, but I think they all combine together to make a sweet App Drawer UI.

I posted this same feature request for Nova and it is about 4th highest on the User Voice voting for that app so it seems there are plenty more people like me who would use this feature.

Vote for this feature on the Apex User Voice here: http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/f...ltiple-configurable-tabs-app-groups-in-the-ap

I think the first Launcher to implement this will really set themselves apart from the other (similar) launchers.
[Android Apps and Games] CB620:
I like apex. Especially making the app drawer transparent but I feel like it's missing some things. I can't quite put my finger on it. Feels smoother than nova but I feel like nova still has the upper hand in a way.
[Android Apps and Games] jameslfc5:
Maybe it's the option to set custom icons .... I'd love this feature on Apex
[Android Apps and Games] Mathias1:
This launcher is great!

PLEASE add ability to remove the App-drawer icon in the dock :)

EDIT: Found a little bug. When using card stack as homescreen animation, and you swipe to the last homescreen and a little more, you get the fancy overglow animation, and then quickly swipe back to another home-screen and then again back to the last screen, the glowing effect remains a little..

[Android Apps and Games] Jezz_X:
Amen to that brother, I always thought Android wasted too much space. It leaves more than enough room to have bigger icons and 2 lines of label but they have real little icons and only use 1 line of text so things like every "Angry Birds" game all look the same and you have to learn the icons
