Apex Update bad - Motorola Atrix 2

This is just a friendly warning...DO NOT update Apex Launcher right now the update is broken. Just trying to save some minor headaches since I had the other launchers frozen, it has sent me into a bit of a run around to get back to commission.
Again, wait till they fix it then update, DO NOT touch this update!!!

Fixed now

That was very annoying, had to use play store on my phone to install nova so I could use the phone

Update to 1.3. 1 to fix it

Yeah is was pretty annoying, I had to use Play Store to open ROM Toolbox to defrost Holo HD (which was included with the ROM I'm using but I froze it) reboot then choose Holo HD and use that until the fix was pushed out. Just in case, I installed Apex Beta in /system/app, that way if another update causes FC's like that, I can just uninstall the update.
It's still the best Launcher in my book.

I agree it is the best... Fluid movement and not a ram monster

Yeah... this was the "Rewrite" that was supposed to happen last November, but unfortunately, Fede is more concerned about this music app and has put both Launcherpro, Launcherpro Plus, and this "Rewrite" on the backburner.
Don't get your hopes up
Current Launcher pro works fine with me.
I like launcher pro but its inability to allow roms to use their custom transition effects and visual eye candy will put it on the uninstall list. I have plus version. Also it has to force close a couple of times after you reboot for it to start working.

I thought that was only happening with mine. But mine usually just FCs once.
Evidently Fede is more concerned with making money on a brand new piece of software rather than finish rewriting his software
Which is completely understandable by the way, but don't get your hopes up.

Oops, wrong thread, sry
I always wonder what happen to him rewriting it. It sucks that it had to go on the back burner
Current Launcher pro works fine with me.
Launcher Pro
Is Amazing,a great launcher ( I also like the basic launcher and touch wiz 4.0 & 4.5)

To get it to stop force closing on start up you have to move all your apps to the internal memory card. There is some sort of conflict between launcher pro and the initial media scan.
I'm aware this is not ideal for everyone but it is the only solution that I know of.

I tried it, loved it, til I tried using camera. Neither one of my camera's would work with it. Just black screen then fc. Seems a lot like adw ex. without paying the $3. looks like it has potential. Went back to ADW and camera worked fine.
SPB Shell 3D is still my favorite... but I gotta say that new app drawer with all those snazzy effects is pretty darn impressive... Go Dev Team is amazing.
That strange never had any camera issues at all their could be setting that needs to be change on it.

Okay what this launcher can

You got to try this launcher.

Yeah as always with me I'm sure it is something stupid. I will have to give it another shot and check it out more. But sure enough something to do with go launcher froze up my camera.I'm using MIUI, could be a factor too.
ps... I think it's actually up to v2.37 in the market

What launcher are you using

I recently updated to 2.3.5 and of course its not the best launcher or even close .now i'm using zeam launcher and its snappy and clean, what are you guys using
Sent from my SCH-I510
I use Launcher Pro, works nicely for what I need it for.
Only issue is I get FC's every time I reboot my phone. Anyone else see this issue?
I use launcher pro plus, it works the best for me, and it is very customizable.
No force close for me.
Go Launcher here.. it doesn't have the biggest category of themes but is simple and stable which works for me

Mine does the same thing on a reboot (has done it with three different ROMs) but other than that it works perfectly. INsTANT response & absolutely no redraw issues whatever.
I won't use anything else.

I use Golauncher with their Transparency themed widgets.
Go Launcher EX
I liked Zeam, but then I tried QQ Launcher and I've stayed with it.
Another vote for Go Launcher EX, been great on EP3HA.
No redraws at all.
Go launcher. I've used LPP, ADW and Go, and I like Go the best. All three are good in different ways.

TW4 launcher from an old Eclipse rom. I love the way it looks.
launcher pro.

Launcher [request]

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

Furthermore, I'm running Valhalla- it comes with this launcher, the modified touchwiz 4, on there. You do not need this for valhalla.

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

Actually I made the cwm zip from an apk I found while googling for touch wiz 4.0 apk lol it worked so I thought it was worth posting. I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them. Sorry for getting confused guys ill try to find 4.0 tonight again lol

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.

Lag

I'm on Android JB 4.1.2 on my RAZR HD and I have noticed a LOT of LAG, I was wondering, am I the only one with so much lagging on this version? I don't remember having so much lag on ICS.

Try clearing your app cache. Should run smoother.

I had the same issue.
Solved it by installing setCpu and changing governour.
Afterwards using Greenify and Autostarts to Freeze and Hibernate.
My Launcher is Nova Launcher Premium.
Last thing I did, was Installing LagFix Premium and everything was fine.
My Phone runs smooth and everythings fine.
Does this really worked for you? I reseted my phone but still hsve some lag in JB 4.1.2 and I only have used 1GB of the 8GB usable, so I don't understand, no App is causing the issue. I think this is the software, JB 4.2.2 run smoothly. But I'll try this steps, thanks man.

Does it lag anywhere other than the homescreen? The stock launcher on my phone was super laggy.
All of that, when it is more noticeable is when I press the home button to get to the homescreen (it almost takes 10 seconds to show all aps) If I happen to be able to take a screenshot, I will post it here.
I was able to get a screenshot and here it is. You can see the lag on the clock, temperature and battery widget

Wow. Try Nova or Apex launcher and see if you get that same lag.
I'll let you know how it goes
Ok, I tried Apex launcher and is fine, I really like it so far, but the circles widget is not compatible with 3rd party launchers

That's the worst part of the circle widget. I'd be awesome if someone could find out how to make it work with other launchers.

I remember reading another thread and there's a widget in the play store that is fully customizable into looking like the circles widget. I believe it's called uccw.
Make sure you reboot your phone every day or two, this solved a lot of my lag issues. Other launchers never helped me.

It's a stock JB? Overall speed and performance improved when I updated from ICS. Did you checked on your batt and cpu temp?
I already fixed it, I make a full reset using the stock rom build. Now its a lot more faster.
