need some help... i did overlap widgets on apex.. put phantom music controls and facebook feeds widgets on top of black uccw skins... but after some time, these widgets go under the skins and cant be visible:o.. am i doing something wrong.. and yes widgets overlapping and all are ticked..

in nova we can bring a widget to the front and back.. in apex i cant?.. or any other way.. ? i have to restart apex everytime i want it to come to the front..
[Android Apps and Games] AllSeeyinEye:
This is not very smart, because what will you do when a future update (or a corrupted file) causes your launcher to stop functioning or getting it in a boot loop? A backup launcher is always advised :)
[Android Apps and Games] carlo67:
Guess what

I found out why Widgets won't updateing

When I enable lock screen the widgets are working ok but when I disabled the lock screen the widgets are stop updating.

It is weird thing.

does anybody know why it is happening because I don't need to have lock screen?

Getting this bug in the latest stable apex pro version.

The second pic is the homescreen to the left of the first pic. Basically this bug happens that some widget or icon from the left homescreen pops up like that. It happens sometimes when I unlock the screen and when I exit an application to come to the homescreen. A quick swipe to the left or right makes it gone.

The important thing to note for the dev is that it only happens with the rotate and wheel homescreen transition effects. It does NOT happen with the cube out and scale animations. I have only tried these 4 so cant comment on the rest.

I am running nexus S stock jelly bean.

[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I use Fancy Widgets (pro) and Smooth Calendar - if I do not overlap they would be too far apart, taking too much screen real estate.

So yes, I do overlap widgets.

[Android Apps and Games] Chillz88:
if u overlap a widget on top of another, do you notice it going behind the other widget sometimes...and in the end you cant see part or full of your widget? i hope i make sense..lol
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Yes, that is I think normal. I have the background on boot my widgets set to almost totally transparent. I want the actual displayed elements of the widgets (weather, calendar, etc.) close to each other. The backgrounds overlap but I don't care which is on top. The actual working portions of the widgets do not overlap.

But you are correct - if I moved them "closer" one would begin to cover the other.

So I'm assuming it's no way to set the lock screen wall paper to be the same as the theme you set. The thing that I don't understand is that in a reply someone stated its in CM option, if that is the case then why wouldn't that be part of the app itself instead of relying on the rom developer to incorporate it in.. Everyone don't run CM..

i think u still can change lockscreen wallpaper maybe from display setting :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
Launchers are separate from the lockscreen. But by default, the lockscreen wallpaper is the same as the home screen wallpaper, so I'm not sure what you're trying to change. If you want a different wallpaper for your lockscreen, either install custom lockscreen apps from the PlayStore (which are not native and in some cases cumbersome to use), or flash custom ROMs.

[Android Apps and Games] thefatalepic:
This was answered twice but I don't think they fully understood the question. I had the same issue with Apex. I downloaded the apk for the beta, and have always stayed on beta. Until recently when they pushed out the newest stable, I kept getting the notification for the update. I don't think there is any way to stop this notification of the new update. It's very annoying.

You can uncheck auto-update, and you can have Apex not check for updates, but the market will still throw the update notification when it sees the app and a new version is out.

I am hoping that I am wrong on this.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
You can turn off update notifications in the Play Store's settings, but that applies to all app updates not just Apex.
[Android Apps and Games] antawnm26:
Geez, how is it off topic? Im asking not how to change the lock screen wall paper with the stock settings but from within Apex. I just think its weird that you can set your theme up with Apex and not be able to carry the theme over onto the lock screen. but never mind i figured it out that its controlled by the framework which I'm assuming Apex cant touch..

Sorry, I was referring to my off topic answer.
[Android Apps and Games] DayDreamin24:
Love this launcher, I use it on my laptop for Android x86.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbaLouie:
The standard answer used to be Titanium Backup "detach from market", but I understand the ever-changing Play market has broken it recently.
[Android Apps and Games] mulletcutter:
Can't u just uncheck the box so it doesn't update. And take off notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] BobbaLouie:
They still show up in batch updates and it annoys when you hit "update 3" then you realize one is the app you don't want to update. Unchecking the box only keeps it from auto-updating. Taking off notifications only affects the android notification area.
[Android Apps and Games] TwinkyOfHope:
Thanks everyone, but yeah I was talking about the play store updates, I knew about disabling the apex update checks.

[Android Apps and Games] truewt:
You have been off topic by asking for lock screen wallpaper changes (which multiple users have tried explaining that isn't possible through the apex).

Lock screen is not part of the launcher system and I don't understand what do you not get to repeatedly request for this. It is a ROM specific feature, so you either flash a custom ROM or get a lock screen replacement app.

Too bad sammy doesn't support lock screen customization.

Sorry for off topic.
[Android Apps and Games] niteh@wk:
I set up swipe up gesture to show the app drawer. In the app drawer I swipe up again and the app drawer closes. I love this gesture. Only problem with this is the gesture in the app drawer only works if I swipe up on any app icon, it doesn't work in the empty spaces. E.g., if the app tab only has one row of apps, I have to reach up to that row to carry out the gesture. Would be great if I can still swipe up any where to close the app drawer.

Hey guys, I need some help with this launcher.

I am using a Nexus 7 (with paranoidandroid and tabletUI) and I am trying to theme the homescreen but when the screen rotates the icons that are on screen don't show up on screen they fall off the edges and the screen is blank. I tried adjusting the landscape settings (row x column) so it would show up but I can't seem to figure out the ratio that is needed to make it match up properly.

Does anybody have any suggestions? If not then it isn't too big of a deal to not have. I will just make the theme of the homescreen in portrait only.

Thanks for any help provided.

Apex Launcher (Pro) 1.3.1 on my Nexus S on 4.1.1 is running great (although it has some minor issues but I guess it's because the device is showing age) but on my Nexus 7 it lags horribly when scrolling in the drawer with infinite scrolling activated. It does the same on the homescreen but to a lesser extend, it must have something to do with the number of icons on screen. I keep the number of widgets and icons on the homescreen low.

Phone and Contacts icons not themed/applied on MIUI!

I am using MIUI V4, all the other icons are JellyBean/ICS style except the phone and contacts icons, which stay MIUI (changing themes in both MIUI and Apex doesn't help). It looks really ugly this way. How to fix this?

[Android Apps and Games] chantoine:
Hi,

I also have horrible scrolling lags, although only in the dock, and the problem is linked to the number of icons on screen :

- when i'm on my first homescreen (only 8 icons and 6 widgets), the 2 docks scroll quite smoothly,

- when on my second homescreen (7 rows x 6 columns = 42 icons), the docks scrolling is very laggy.

No problems ...

Apex is running smooth as silk on Viper1.0., Evo 4G LTE. I was inspired to post because it just saved my ass several hour's work when I uninstalled Apex, and meant to uninstall ADW (duh). Yes, it backs up its own configuration, as well as all desktop data. You may have to redo widgets. As long as I'm at it, the batch-add to folders (on Pro) is nice when you're first setting up.

Apex Pro vs Nova Prime

I am an Apex Pro

and

Nova Prime user for some time now. Here's my comparison of the two, both running the latest beta.

I've set them both up with 4 identical homescreens, using the same widgets. Nova runs with three tabs in the drawer. Apex has 4 (the extra tab is the 'All apps' tab). Transitions are equal, both two docks with the same icons and functions, except Apex has two dockicons with a swipe down gesture and Nova has two 'two finger rotate gestures'.

Smoothness in changing homescreens and drawer tabs

Both launchers are running butterly smooth on my S2. Apex had a minor dip in this behavior in release 1.3.0 beta 6, 1.3.0 and 1.3.1, but with the latest beta it's back where it belongs. Both swiping to change screen/tab and flicking to change screen/tab work the same on both launchers.

Main differences

Apex has more settings you can change, i.e. adjusting the menu - pro

Nova can import settings from other launchers - major pro

Apex has swipe up and swipe down gestures on dock - (for me) neutral

Nova has visual feedback when swiping a dock - major pro

Nova has two finger rotate gestures - pro

Nova background slides to start when reaching the end, Apex jumps to start. - Still not sure what I like better.

Apex drawer tabs are easier to configure (In Nova it can only be done from the menu) - pro

Apex drawer has continuous swiping - pro

The notification settings in Apex (nor the addon for Nova) I don't use.

For me it's pretty hard to choose what launcher to use. The visual feedback on swiping on dock is the main feature that's pulling me to Nova, but Apex being easier to configure and the continuous swiping in the drawer (and the all apps tab) are pulling me to Apex.

Perhaps both launchers could copy the missing features from each other?!
