[Q] Apex Issue - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having an issue with Apex, wondering if anyone found a solution.. Using the default settings, (6x8 for both portrait and landscape), it hides the icon text on the homescreen in landscape for some reason. All the icon text shows up fine in portrait, but flip to landscape and all the text disappears,leaving just the icon. Ive messed around with margins as well, with no success. Yes, I confirmed the option to disable icon text was disabled. Thanks for your help!

Try a 7x8 grid.
7 rows should fix it. Not sure if they plan on fixing it or not, but it's happened on my other devices as well.

I also have an issue with Apex in that the Google Play My Librarry Widget doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else got this problem?

Still happening for me too, seems to be taking the dev's a long time to resolve!

Just in case: Settings > Accessibility > check "Auto-rotate screen".
Drag down the top status bar. In the middle, there is an icon to lock/unlock the rotation!

[Q] CM10 Alpha, screen won't rotate

I searched for CM10 screen rotate, and all I saw were a bunch of threads saying it was enabled. Which makes me wonder...
I'm on CM10, have been for a day or so. REALLY great rom, esp for an Alpha release. But my screen doesn't rotate. I've tried checking and unchecking Settings>Display>Rotation to no effect.
Apps that require landscape will do so, but I can't get it to do it on demand. I feel certain I'm missing something, but don't know what it might be.
Any suggestions?
If you are using a launcher such as Nova or Apex, there are auto-rotate settings that must be turned on.

There is a setting under Accessibility that toggles rotation. Make sure 'Auto-rotate screen' is checked.

Yep. That one was checked. However...

That one wasn't. I knew it was something simple.
What's really bad about all this is that it's the same launcher I use on my phone.
Thanks!
Fixed??

Did yours get fixed? Mine doesn't respond to the changes. Maybe I should reflash.

Yes, mine works now. If I turn the Nook, the orientation rotates as it's supposed to. A reflash may help I suppose, but check ALL your settings first (don't be like me!)
Settings>Display>Auto-rotate screen should be checked.
Settings>Accesibility>Auto-rotate screen should be checked.
And then look through the settings on your launcher to see if there's something in there holding things up. In Nova Launcher it's found in
Nova Settings>Look and Feel>Screen Orientation.
I'm pretty sure Apex has a similar setting, but I don't know where to find it. I had to check all 3 in order for the orientation to change as I turn my Nook.
hth
Yes, changing in all locations did the trick. Thanks.

Grey Google search bar on top of all screens? Can I get rid of it?

Is there a way to get rid of that grey Google search bar on top of all the screens? The drag an delete function doesn't seem to work.
Thanks!
I don't think there is any way to get rid of it on the Stock ROM. From what I understand its basically built onto the launcher. If it really bothers you, you could consider switching to an alternate launcher like Apex or Nova to get rid of it.

Didn't think of that. Maybe I'll give one of those a whirl.
This worked for me:
Settings>Apps>All>Google Search>select "Disable", then click "OK" on the "...other apps may misbehave" pop-up. You may have to reboot to get rid of the bar.
This will disable the search function on your tablet; there will be no way to search for contacts, apps or anything. If there is a problem you can always repeat the process and enable Google search again.
I personally didn't care for the search bar and I don't use the search function. I have only had my N10 since this morning, but removing the search bar was one of the first things I did and I have yet to have a problem.
Hope this helps.

Stock Clock Widget Re-sizing on it's own?

Anyone know of a fix? My clock will randomly be tiny in the center of my screen, but when I press and hold it to re-size it's already as big as it will go? So I go small, then back to big to make it full size again
I have removed the Widget
Stock Everything
Driving me CRAZY!

Have you tried clearing cache and data of your clock?

I have and just wiped Device cache as well.
I guess now I wait...
Nope! Still doing it! Someone has to have a fix for this!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Does no one know how to fix this? Is it just something I have to deal with & there is no fix? A Bug? Will be fixed in a future release?

You are the only person I've ever read of having this issue. I agree it's weird and I'm sure rather frustrating. Anything short of just wiping the device and flashing the factory image may be in vein. As long as you flash the image and don't restore any data I would be shocked if it came back.
Ugh... Wiped, FDR without restore and still having the same issue...
Okay, so I just got a replacement 6P for a pink screen issue & the damn clock widget still does the same thing? That's 2 separate phones with the same issue? I can't be the only one...
Some other app is causing it.

Take screen shots of what its supposed to look like and of what it ends up looking like. The only thing that would cause that on mine is if I put some other widget near it and it was fighting for the same footprint.

I have a very minimal Home Screen. There is nothing in the way to abstruct the Clock Widget
I have the same problem. It's been happening ever since the last update to the clock app. I think it has something to do with them making the widget resizeable for the Google now launcher. Im using Nova. It's definitely not your phone. It's a bug in the clock app.

Have you tried dragging the lines as far as possible so the whole screen is the widget padding? Just an idea. I use Google now launcher/apex launcher and have not had any issues. I'll try with Nova and see if it happens.
I have this issue. I only use nova and it happens to me most time. Im not using the widget anymore. Just using zooper widget.
I think making the widget bigger than it needs to be has fixed it! Yay! Thx Gizmoe

3rd party launcher with transparent nav bar ?? Is it possible ?

Hello all- I just got my G6 ( Asia dual sim model) and love it but am pissed to find out that when using Nova pro and other launchers the navigation bar does not go transparent even when the transparent settings are ticked.
All other mobiles do it but this one does not.
The option for "color" in my home keys settings is greyed out also.
Any one have any clues to help me use this full screen to its beautiful potential ?
Cheers LL

That's really odd, because I'm using Nova Pro and transparent NAV bar works just fine. Have you got a theme loaded that might be causing it to not work?
[Edit: looks like my screen capture doesn't even show the NAV bar. I assure you that mine is transparent.]

Wow. Thats strange, Im gonna have to try and change the theme perhaps or maybe ill delete and reinstall Nova.
Thanks though sinister.. Now i know there is hope ?

Sinister.... One question though, what version G6 are you using and are you rooted ? I though me not being rooted may be another cause.

Nope, fully stock, unrooted Canadian version on H87310d.
I'd recommend also looking at your dock settings to make sure your dock background isn't drawing over the NAV bar. Although it looks really nice and consistent, disabling it should help you troubleshoot better
Good luck!

No issue here either. Nova is transparent for me. Also, there isn't root for the G6 yet. Attached a screenshot

You have to go into app scaling and select 18:9 for Nova Launcher. Then you will have a transparent nav bar.

AHA- Got it. It seems that all I needed to do was update my version of Nova. Not sure why it didnt work on my old version but its all good now, time to drool over this beautiful screen.
Thanks to all you guys for your help :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
