Paid for the Pro version and you've made my day by adding theme support.

Awesome work guys. I salute you! Thank you.

Just updated to 1.2.0b1 but now widget resizening doesn't work anymore, and yes, i have "resize any widget" checked.
[Android Apps and Games] rob.turner:
Same problem here.
[Android Apps and Games] OnceAMatrixMan:
Same here. Never had a problem before.

Where else can I get the new beta? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ock:
The resize works, just that the resize handles are invisible ;)

[Android Apps and Games] jnr21:
You are right. It's somewhat difficult to resize widgets as there's no those handles visible, hope it gets fixed soon.

[Android Apps and Games] patou75:
Well I was thinking about new stuff. Here is my wish :

- miui theme compatibility (to get our icons app)

- possibility to growth or shrink icon

- possibility to enable/disable app drawer [so we can choose between have an appdrawer or don't have this (miui launcher like or ios like with widget compatibility) a 2 in 1 ;)]

With that I think it will be the best launcher on gg play ! :) (however at this time, this is a really good launcher:))

Thanks for my suggestion and your app

Are you stupid or something? App drawer is one of the best things of android. Why would you clutter all of your desktop with icons? If so, hide the damn dock and you have no app drawer. Have fun
[Android Apps and Games] patou75:
This is yot point of view, not mine or other people. Lot of people like this (like miui's users). App drawer is useless

Issue on tablets with 1.2Beta1: icons on tablet after using an ADW or Go EX theme are WAY too small. Attached is a picture.

Fix this and it'll be perfect in every single way!
[Android Apps and Games] iamnotkurtcobain:
So why don't you hide the dock? Apex has that option.. isn't that difficult
[Android Apps and Games] -DarkKnight-:
cm9/aokp

please add theme manager support like the page indicators and the app drawer change with the theme
[Android Apps and Games] patou75:
I do that but it takes very long times. In my opinion to decide to have or not an app drawer (like when we disable totally app drawer, all app appear on the homescreen) is a big plus for is app. Lot of people would appreciate that and his app will be more different from the thousand of ics's launcher enhancer

[Android Apps and Games] Rblacula:
If you long press your screen and add a Nova Action on Nova Launcher, there's a hide dock option, and this is missing from Apex. I think this'd appease everyone if you could add it because then you could hide the App Drawer.

I still have this bug on the most recent version of Apex and the newest Beta version when I use non stock LCD densities such as 200.
[Android Apps and Games] einsteinking:
Hi, I'm wondering theme option whether is available only on paid version. Because I downloaded beta and still only stock theme shows on theme option after I've install some adw or go theme. Thanks:D
[Android Apps and Games] Rblacula:
Apex-optimized themes are available in the free version, but ADW EX and Go EX themes are only compatible if you donate. I already told KovDev and he's gonna update his themes in 48 hours with native support for Apex (so you don't need the paid version) and says he's really excited and has been waiting for an ICS-based launcher to allow themes! This is very promising and just proves why Apex>Nova! Lustre+Apex=WIN!!!
[Android Apps and Games] jamontoast1291:
As soon as the option to change the grid size of the app drawer is available I'll upgrade to pro. Even on my incredible I had launcherpro set to 5 columns, it's a crime to be stuck with 4 on the nexus. Anxiously awaiting this option!

It's everything still a decent size for reading text at 160dpi?

Went to the latest beta now I'm unable to resize widgets and the transition between homescreens are now very jerky.

EDIT:::

removing the transition fixed the jerky problem, like it alot better. but still can't resize
[Android Apps and Games] johrie:
Resizing works but you are not able to see the blue lines that indicate that you are resizing. However I used to have my grid to 4x5 but it wouldn't let me resize a 4x1 widget to 5x1.

I installed Apex Launcher on my husband's galaxy note (dpi set to 240) and encountered the same issue. Managed to download an older version that acts the way it should. Both in the version that is in the play store right now and in the beta apex is off-centered and in landscape dock-icons are compressed horizontally and not usable. Hope it can be fixed soon!
[Android Apps and Games] chunlianghere:
the unread count jus disappear 2 secs later while on the home screen when i jus receive a msg. is it suppose to be like this?

doesnt happen when i jus unlock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Jeremy:
Aside from the resize bug that others are talking about, I'm also experiencing folder creation problems.

Folder creation problems only occur on the default homescreen. Works normally on other screens.

On apex pro latest beta of course.
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
Just tried on main homescreen and no issue here (GT-I9100 / CM9 / Apex latest beta + Pro)
[Android Apps and Games] toonbobo:
What widgets do you have installed? I have a VZW galaxy nexus with the same issue. But it happened around the time I installed BeWeather and used their 4x3 widget. So I have removed that widget only and will see if the behavior continues. I tried switching from the leaked 4.0.4 vzw ROM to AOKP M5 with franco's kernel and the problem persisted.

The bug is annoying because I have a battery widget and it will get stuck at whatever percentage. Also the power control widget will show the wifi/BT as off but it could really be turned on, since the widget still controls the hardware.

Otherwise I really enjoy using Apex launcher and bought the pro version. Thanks everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Hi, I recently bought the PRO version and am using your latest Beta.

I noticed that just the Flipboard widget is buggy on this launcher. It worked perfectly fine on Go Launcher Ex. The widget works fine in the beginning but after some time after installing it, it turns white and becomes unclickable. This is what it looks like :

This happens for both Flipboard 0.7.17 and 1.8.4.

I am running Shostock 2.2.6 with CherryPicker 1.1. Can you please confirm if this is a bug or if an issue just on my end?

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] iamnotkurtcobain:
I have the same issue. Perhaps flipboard's fault
[Android Apps and Games] Fotogravin:
On apex v1.1.1 with flipboard v1.8.4 I don't have this issue. Works great on my motorola defy with cm9 on 200 dpi
[Android Apps and Games] sixaxis94:
When you view your homescreen in landscape does a part if it show up in black?

I'm using cm9 on a defy as well and I seem to be the only one with the problem..

Edit. These screenshots were taken from a previous apex build but its the same with the newest beta

How are u able to apply a theme pack?

I cannot find any such option ?

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

My friend at work has the pro verions while i am using the free one and neither of us can find the option to theme the icons..can u please tell me whr it is?
[Android Apps and Games] jophil2412:
To apply a theme pack you have to have latest beta release of apex launcher (think its 1.2) go to your apex settings, about apex, choose to look for beta releases under updates and then check fur updates. Download the API, install it and you should find a new option in the settings that let you choose a themed you have installed.
[Android Apps and Games] ivanmln90:
is there any chance to manually change the position of the icons in the app drawer like in the tw launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] cxdz810:
and possibility for folders in app drawer (drag and drop)?
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
OP has a link to the user voice. Go there and vote for these features.

But as for using drag and drop to create folders in the app drawer, that wouldn't work, because then you couldn't pick things from the drawer to put on your homescreens. One or the other would need to be implemented using some sort of alternative functionality, or at least the whole thing would need a redesign to make it all work together.
[Android Apps and Games] gurnishdhillon:

After installing the newest Beta, on Pro version, Cross transition effect doesn't feel so snappy and fluid anymore :( I'm on Galaxy Nexus + tablet mode.

On 1.1.1 it was ridiculously smooth when sliding through pages. Now it feels tacky. But everything else works fine, guess I have to change transition effect :)

Every time I get back on the Homescreen all widgets are reloading on my galaxy s2.

[Android Apps and Games] 21productionz:
That is completely false. Go launcher does this. But instead of being able to drag it to the screen you are on, you can drag it to any of the screens which are shown at the bottom of the app drawer

GO launcher is a Rube Goldberg machine.

I'd rather see Apex include basic and some advanced features, but not be cluttered by a lot of them that a few minorities will use. Like explained here.

I hope it is also Dennis' spirit.

People looking for those feature should stay on GO launcher.

I've just bought the full version! Love the dock swipes.

However, the latest version 1.1.1 appears to be quite sluggish. I put it down to my system and tried a lot of different Kernels (AOKP running on a Galaxy Nexus) but then switched to the bundled NOVA. The difference was like night and day.

I remember that Apex was a lot quicker than Nova. What happened?
[Android Apps and Games] prdog1:
You bought a Galaxy Nexus and put AOKP on it. LOL :cool:

Well, after setting up a few custom app tabs (like Games, Tools and plain ol' Apps, for the uncategorized ones), I've eliminated my desire/need for both drawer folders and custom drawer grid size.

[Android Apps and Games] chunlianghere:

[Android Apps and Games] revthanki:
I did. And you must be the helpful contributor around here!

Yup, it's fantastic. My favorites are:

1. The ability to hide the navigation bar using a power menu toggle. Makes a beautiful full screen reading experience using Aldiko, Currents, etc. If you use LMT launcher (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150) you don't even need the navigation bar.

2. Screen off torch, drop down toggles (much better than the CM implementation).

3. Everything else

I just did a search. Sure didn't look like 90%.

I'm happy to provide a logcat if that helps the devs :)
[Android Apps and Games] ivanmln90:
I have tons of app on my phone so i prefer my app drawer clean with folders and in the position i more like. In the homescreen i have just 3 widgets to keep everything smooth and clean...

It's about having "Launcher" setting in CyanogenMod 9 to open directly Apex's settings.

Though I don't know what it really imply :D, it is supposed to be done by :

- adding a new category "com.cyanogenmod.category.LAUNCHER_PREFERENCES"
[Android Apps and Games] drakenabarion:
I can imagine this having issues. I bet it would require uninstalling Trebuchet every update when its usually just more convenient to leave it installed and not use it. (I mean there would be a clash with launcher code on each update until one gets uninstalled). Well I didn't try so its hypothetical. But I figure there could be a way to avoid issues.
[Android Apps and Games] RickROM:
I am still encountering bugs in landscape mode on the newest beta. Version 1.1.0 was the last version that worked properly for me in landscape mode.

I would really like to see this bug fixed considering almost all of my other apps aren't giving me any problems when I change the LCD density to a non-stock value. It seems like Apex isn't sure if I am running a tablet or a phone so the landscape mode shows a mix of the tablet UI and the phone UI. The UI renders properly if I use 180 or 240... Apex seems to get confused now on anything between the start of the tablet UI and the end of the phone UI density wise.

Please take a look at this bug especially since it was working properly before. I'm still using 1.1.0 daily because I cannot give up proper working landscape mode or LCD density 200 since I need more space on the screen without triggering the tablet mode UI for apps. Thanks.

I have a problem...

Hello at all.

Im a long time reader of xda, but now i have a problem, which i couldnt find here yet. So i joined and hope you might help.

First the specs:

Samsung Galaxy Note

Android 4.0.3 (official stock)

Apex Launcher Pro 1.1.1

Now the problem:

I use my Note in landscape mode and every time i get a call, the screen gets black. Only shows the notification bar, where the call is shown... I cant do anything. And Apex Launcher shows a crash and says application stopped.

So i tried it in vertical mode and there is no problem. It shows the normal contact infos and the sliders to receive the call.

I really hope you can help, as i like the launcher.

Greetings,

Mark

can someone tell me how to change themes in apex beta???and do all the dw themes work?
[Android Apps and Games] octavian90:
Another galaxy note owner here, on latest apex, and official ICS (or any cooked ICS rom).

Basically sometimes when I hit home button to exit application, or sometimes when I unlock the screen, the screen will freeze/go black for ~15 seconds, then Apex will redraw and I will see homescreen. I don't know how this started happening, and I can't get it to stop. Occurs on any DPI including stock.

Things tried:

1. Keep in memory

2. Freeze TW launcher

3. Add ro.home (keep in memory) line into build.prop

4. Convert Apex to system app

Any advice would be very much appreciated!!
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:

Multipicture Live Wallpaper Issues

So trying to make the switch from ADW to Apex but this issue still persists for me in the latest 1.2.0 beta 2...

I've tried all the combinations below and still no dice...searched the thread and trolled through a few pages with not much luck... any suggestions????

If you go into Multipicture live and set the transitions to an effect that does't "re-draw" / warp the background image in a certain way it works fine. Examples of Multipicture transitions that work with Apex

None

Fade In/Out

3D Rotation (kind of, looks strange at the far side)

Cross fade

I would love to see this fixed, but I can get by with the fading-style transitions.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I can live with 3D Rotation transition for now.

Thanks for your response. root helper option is greyed out and off, can't change it. Occurs with keep in memory on or off. And other input would be appreciated!

Edit.. Actually I have Apex as system app and I think root helper is on automatically since I can add widget from app drawer. The settings show that it's Grey and unticked though.

Please refer to my post on last Page about everything I've tried. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] aussiebum:
Enabling Root Helper doesn't help. (I don't have Apex Launcher setup as a system app)

My black screen pause is sometimes long enough to get a "Wait or Force Close" option.

EDIT: Would reducing dalvik-cache heapsize help? It's set to 256mb in the stock ICS rom.
[Android Apps and Games] octavian90:
Exciting! At least 4 confirmed note users having this problem.

Just to shed some more light.. This did not occur on GB, but since the ICS upgrade a few days ago It's occurred on all ics stock and cooked roms. It occurs with no other launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] zeroprobe:
Nova has just implemented the option to remove animations in and out of the Apps Drawer.

On Apex, I've found to disable animations when entering the drawer, but on exit back to the home screens the Dock is faded in. Is there anyway to completely remove the Apps Drawer / Dock fade animation?
[Android Apps and Games] markb78:
I have found out that the problem seems to be ICS and not the launcher. Some users like me have got the freeze when the phone is in the samsung car dock. I just saw that if i use my note in landscape mode via apex the screen automatically turns to portrait mode when getting a call... No freeze. But when the note is in car dock, it doesnt change to portrait mode... As a result, it freezes.

Seems like ICS doesnt have a landscape calling screen... I really hope google/samsung will fix that. With this bug, its totally useless to use the official samsung car dock.
