I am having this problem also.... when I change my DPI it also makes eveything off centered in landscape and the dock no longer appears properly either. All the dock icons end up stacked on each other.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

I am running AOKP M5 on my Galaxy Nexus with the LCD density set to 195.

Apex is no longer rendering correctly after the latest update. Here is what Apex looks like on 1.1.0. and 1.1.1.

1.1.0

1.1.1

Is there any way to have the app display separate taps in app drawer. I would be nice to have taps display side-by-side, ex. Office..Games...Media?

Thanks

Does the APEX/APEX pro launcher not have a calender month view widget? (when I switch back to TW, I can get month view, with APEX it's agenda only)

Ever since I installed 1.1.1 apex became very laggy. when coming out of an app to home screen it redraws and it takes it about 2 seconds to do that. All older versions were very fast comparing..

Does it happen to anyone else?
[Android Apps and Games] Rypac:
Ahh.. that avatar is very familiar. ;)

1.1.1 Pro has been fine for me mfractal, very quick and no redraws. I'm not sure if it will make any difference but I have the 'Keep in memory' option ticked and have converted Apex to a system app via Titanium Backup.

Wow I feel like a noob didn't know u could do that with tibu I always do it the hard way then back it up and just restore it as a system app every time I flash good to know
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Are there any downsides to enabling "Keep in memory"? I am wondering because LauncherPro, ADW.EX, etc had that option as well but it always came with a warning that it was not recommended.
[Android Apps and Games] upichie:
This! This!!! +1 +1 +1 +1

It says under the pro features "Multiple Configurable Drawer Tabs"—and I assumed this is what that meant. What the heck does this do? There are no extra options regarding this under settings after upgrading to pro, at least that I've found. And trust me, I've looked. That feature is why I got pro.

Can anyone explain this to me? What does "Multiple Configurable Drawer Tabs" mean if it does not mean, quite literally, more than one tab in your app drawer than can be configured?

Shouldn't be listing pro features that aren't in the product...
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Both of you should look harder cause I got all my tabs setup. Only took two seconds to figure it out.

Hint- open the app drawer and long press the tab label.
[Android Apps and Games] upichie:
Thank you! My good god. I assumed settings would be, you know, in the settings. But thank you! Much obliged. :)
[Android Apps and Games] stick1300:
I still wish putting apps in a custom tab would hide them from a tab set to All Apps. Yeah, I get they mean ALL APPS, but come on! And, yes, I know I could manually configure the tabs, but I don't want to have to mess with the settings every time I install a new app.
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Lol no prob.
[Android Apps and Games] upichie:
I set up a tab for Games, chose custom, and selected all my games. Then under the Apps tab I changed it from all apps to ungrouped apps, so it only shows the apps not in any other tab.

I'm hugely disappointed that it didn't add a visual tab at the top. Even more disappointing is the fact that when you want to change tabs, on the drop down list, you see all the options for adding/removing tabs. This is a design failure. You shouldn't see settings unless you want to change something.

I'm largely disappointed in this implementation. Definitely not minimalist friendly.

Gmail Icon Alerting [solved]

ok guys I read over the last several pages and see several reports of people saying the Gmail alerts are not working. I myself had this issue. I am on a Note running the Seraphim - Troposphere ROM which comes with Apex by default as a system app. I noticed I was having this issue after the last update.

I tried several things mostly the obvious stuff all mentioned in this thread. Nothing worked. What I did to solve this issue was install another launcher (this ROM only has Apex), activated it and then cleared data and cache for Apex as well as Apex Pro. I removed Apex first then Pro from app management. I rebooted after that and reinstalled Apex followed by Pro - walla! Gmail alerts are now working!

Hope this works for others...

Enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] stick1300:
Welp, I'm dumb. Is this a new feature? I'd SWEAR it wasn't present in the beta when they added custom tabs. Either way, thanks for correcting me
[Android Apps and Games] mr_clean5953:
Hey I don't know if this has been posted yet. How come when I change the homescreen grid size from 4x5 to 5x6 I lose all my app labels?

Sent from my SGS 2 LTE running SkyICS
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
When the first beta came out with the configurable tabs, the feature was asked for. It was added to either the next beta or the one after that (I'd have to go back and check), but it has been around since before the end of the betas, that's for sure.

App labels disappear as soon as there's not enough space to display them. Looks like you crossed that line. Tweaking your DPI is the only way to get them back at that grid size on your device AFAIK.
[Android Apps and Games] mr_clean5953:
That's weird. It seems like a programming issue because it works fine on adw

Sent from my SGS 2 LTE running SkyICS
[Android Apps and Games] Milamber33:
ADW is a Gingerbread launcher which has been worked on for quite a lot longer than this. Apex is based off the stock ICS launcher, there's still some areas where devs still need to eliminate limitations.

In short, see if there's a feature request and vote on it. If not, make one.
[Android Apps and Games] mr_clean5953:
OK thank-you for your help

Sent from my SGS 2 LTE running SkyICS
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
You can add a second tab by going to apex setting>drawer>check secondary tab. Then open app drawer, click downloads tab, long press and change to desired tab.

I have mine set up the same way. Ungrouped Apps and right next to it games. I do wish that for Tablets you could add more than just two viewable tabs at the top.
[Android Apps and Games] upichie:
You, my good sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. This is exactly what I wanted out of Apex Pro. Thank you kindly for your help.

With 'Apps' and 'Games' I still have plenty of space for a third on my phone (or more, they could scroll) . This would be a great feature!
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Yeah I would really like a third tab, or even a scrolling tab bar at the top.

*Note to Dev* Maybe you could change "Show Widgets Tab" in settings to "Show Third Tab." And in the app drawer have widgets as a selectable tab group.

edit: Even better, if possible, is if you could customize the widgets tab group to exclude certain widgets. I have a lot I don't use and also a lot of different sizes I never use. So hiding those would be an amazing feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Fr33L4nc3r:
You do know the widget tab can be used as a third custom app tab ?

Long press on widget tab => Switch to apps

Then you can customize your third app group and apply it.

I know the thread is quite big, but I already mentioned that tip few pages back ;)
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
We understand that even with the latest pro version, there are still some limitations with the drawer. We do have plans for improvements to make it more flexible in future updates. So stay tuned!

In the current version, you may exclude certain widgets using widget groups. Just tap on the Widgets tab and select "New widget group...".
[Android Apps and Games] Joecascio2000:
Oh wow, you guys are so ahead of the game.

Any plan to have dock icons have names too?
[Android Apps and Games] disa5080:
Hi all,

I do not currently own a ICS device. I plan on getting a 4.0 tablet. Does this replacement work for tablets? And most importantly does this provided multiple scenes similar to an HTC Sense phone? This would be a very simple way for multiple users to customize for themselves.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Moonbloom:
Yes, it works fine on tablets.

I'm currently using this on my Transformer Prime tablet running ICS 4.0. Perfect.

You can choose any number of screens you want, from 1-9.
[Android Apps and Games] disa5080:
Thanks for the help. But When I ask about "Scenes" I am referring to a multiple set of home pages. So you could have your own 9 home screens and someone else could have another set of 9 home screens.

On Sense they call these scenes (Work, Home, media.. etc)
[Android Apps and Games] Moonbloom:
Ah, guess I misunderstood your question then, my bad.

At this point, that is not available from this Launcher.

And I'm fairly certain ONLY Sense can do this, and not many people actually use it.

If you would want this, another way to do it is to install both Apex launcher and for example Nova launcher. Both ICS based, and have some of the same options (though still different), and you could for example use Apex for "work" and Nova for "fun" (or whatever you choose).
[Android Apps and Games] disa5080:
Thanks I think I will have to do that.

No one used it because it was a phone. But a tablet that may be in a house with 4 different users it would be very helpful. Similar to a desktop. Could this maybe a future feature???
[Android Apps and Games] Staggers:
That sounds like a good idea to me. Check out the UserVoice forum for this app here. Search for that feature, and if it isn't there add a new request.
[Android Apps and Games] 0iceshadow0:

Root helper

Hi.

I've recently bought Apex Launcher Pro, and it's great. The only issue I'm having is that root helper is not working for adding wigets from drawer (except for contact widget, that's weird!).

I have root access, and Apex has root authorization. It even works perfect if I move it to system/app, but that's not my prefered choice beacuse I've had some problems with updates and keeping settings.

I'm running android 4.0.4 (CM9), in a motorola defy.

Any ideas for solving it? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
This has been discussed many times before. Icon labels are automatically hidden when there is not enough space to display them. Please adjust your grid size to see the labels if you want.

Did you successfully enable Root Helper in advanced settings? If so, please post your logcat output when adding widgets from the drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] virgopunk:
Have an annoying bug since the last update . Basically the Dock appears bunched up in the top right hand corner in landscape mode but I can see the dock indicator along the bottom of the screen. I've tried everything to try and resolve the problem including deleting the data and reinstalling but nothing seems to be working. I'm using a Galaxy note with imilka'a CM9. As It worked fine before the last update. Can anyone offer some advice?

Many thanks .
[Android Apps and Games] sonnysekhon:
I have a bug to report.

Seems like Apex does not resize custom icons from ADW icon packs if they are not hdpi/xhdpi (72px/96px) when it should.

That is not the case with NOVA as they resize fine.

The weird thing is that they resize fine if accessed from the sdcard even though they are the same resolution (124px in this case).

Please fix this as there are a lot of high resolution icons packs out there, including all of mine, which are unusable on Apex.

I only found out about this when a customer emailed me stating that my icon pack was incompatible with Apex.
[Android Apps and Games] oddspec:
Ya u can manually crop them and they work fine just extract them with themex
[Android Apps and Games] sonnysekhon:
That's the solution I proposed but it's still a bug nonetheless. The icons should be resized automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] nicolasj:
Good evening,

I have an enormous problem on the drawer.

He regularly lag. This is a very powerful lag. The drawer is almost unusable.

With the same configuration of desktops on NOVA Laucher, I have no problem.

I tried with a STOCK ROM, CM9, M5 AOKP all with full wipe, the problem persists.

I have a Galaxy Nexus. It seems I'm not the only one with this problem.

I'd like to use Apex because I like it a lot.

I can make a video to show the problem if you wish.

Is there a solution?
[Android Apps and Games] GioGr:
hey great app

if u need ideas

maybe could you add the corners from this launcher to yours

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1309287

and we can be able to choose to use only upper left or both top etc?

ofc this would be at pro version i think

thx anyway and keep up the good work :)
[Android Apps and Games] dennisxl:
We've found the bug, so please expect a fix in the next version.

How did you experience the lag? Did it happen when you open/close the drawer repeatedly? Could you post your logcat output when it happens again?
[Android Apps and Games] the1dynasty:
had the strangest thing happen to me today... my phone rebooted (kernel related)... but when it started back up, my Apex launcher had been restored as if i just did the backup of my settings/setup... anyone have this happen before where after a reboot Apex just restored itself??

while i'm on the topic of restoring, does the launcher have a hidden feature i don't know about that allows for all the home screens to be restored with widgets/etc?? i've flashed my phone several times and one of the most annoying parts is restoring my home screens the way i like it... yes, i have backups but it never restores my widgets... tyia
[Android Apps and Games] prdog1:
None of the backup programs that restore homescreens that I know of restore widgets although they hold the place for them. My backup pro and nandroid data restore basically do the same thing. Every thing but the widgets.

I do... When using v1.0.0 everything was fine, but when i upgraded to the latest, all text vanished.

Now i know that it's a new feature, but i liked the previous option much more...

I didn't changed any icon's position or tweaked the grid's options, i've just upgraded, and the text vanished.

How come it worked before and not now ? I just don't get it...

I wish i backuped my previous version, thus i could go back. Maybe you could set this as an option:

Just my 2 cents... :D
[Android Apps and Games] billykxda:
I bought the Pro version the day it became available. I started using Apex just a week prior. I resisted moving away from stock, as I think it's best for me to stay as close to stock as possible to get a pure Google experience.

But I gotta say that Apex is awesome, and if anyone is on the fence, just buy it. It keeps all the good ICS stock launcher goodness, but adds some features that are really great, like auto-landscape home screens, no text icons, and gestures. The app settings are very well done (I am a software designer - I am picky) and it has demonstrated great stability, performance (super smooth, 0% lag) and no hit to battery drain.

Thanks Dennis. This should be a no-brainer purchase for all GNex users IMO.

But it is very regularly during normal use.

I posted a screenshot of this a few pages back. I am seeing this bug still on the newest version at LCD density 200, but the previous version of Apex works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Ostrich Egg:
I'm experiencing this problem as well. The margins are still there, but tapping on them doesn't do anything anymore.

Additionally I really liked how previously in the tablet interface the app list in the app drawer didn't take up the entire screen, which left margins there that you could tap to quickly scroll between screens. I see that with 1.1.1 I can still tap the margins, but now they are so small that I end up tapping an app more often than I tap the margin.

I've just been sticking with 1.1.0 since these changes have come up.
[Android Apps and Games] enigma1981:
Got a problem with new widgets not being displayed in the app drawer... Just installed 'advanced clock widget' and the widget isn't in the list - however, it does show up in the add widget dialogue box from long-pressing the home screen.

It's not just that one either, I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple and they're not showing either.

If I roll back to 1.0.0 then they show as soon as they're installed, then I update to 1.1.1 and they're still there but new ones still don't add. Weired!

I have the s2 (international) running cm9, and when I start scrolling through pages it will often start stuttering especially after i don't touch the screen for a few seconds (tried raising lowest cpu frequency from 200mhz to 800mhz to see if it was the cpu not scaling up fast enough, and no change), and also sometimes when I swipe it isn't following my finger but doing an animation that doesn't feel very nice, I don't have these problems in trebuchet. Also I seems to stutter and hicup a lot more than trebuchet. I have stock dpi, with an ondemand Governor and cfq i/o scheduler. But, I love the features of this launcher and don't want to go back. I have tried numerous versions of apex with different aosp based roms and I get the same stuttering and lag problems (I have scrolling wallpaper turned off with a static wallpaper). Thanks for this launcher though, its features are fantastic :)
