Apex Launcher 1.0.1

Ok guys Apex Launcher has dropped the beta tag and now it is available on Google Play...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmFuZGRvZXMubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..
Powerful, fast, and highly customizable home replacement for Android 4.0+.
Apex Launcher helps you create a customized homescreen experience on your Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) device.
Features:
- Customizable homescreen grid size and up to 9 homescreens
- Scrollable dock with up to 7 icons per page and up to 5 pages
- Infinite & elastic scrolling (homescreen, drawer and dock)
- Fancy transition effects (tablet, cube, etc.)
- Hide elements as you want (persistent search bar, status bar, or even the dock)
- Customizable icons and labels for shortcuts and folders
- Choose different folder preview styles and background
- Multiple drawer styles (transparent/opaque, horizontal/vertical, paginated/continuous)
- Drawer apps sorting (title, install date, mostly used)
- Hide apps from the drawer
- Lock your desktop to prevent accidental changes
- Enjoy homescreen gestures (pinch, swipe up/down, double tap)
- Backup/restore settings and data
- Optimized for both phones and tablets
- Lots of other customization options!
NOTE: Due to limitations of the Android framework, you won't be able to add widgets from the drawer unless Apex Launcher is installed as a system app (root required). Please read the FAQ for more information.
Tips:
- Pinch the screen to access screen previews (like Exposé or HTC Sense).
- Long press an icon to drag and drop it over another one to create a folder.
- Long press icons/folders on the desktop and choose edit from the popup menu to customize icons and labels.
- Drag, hover, and drop app icons over the delete button at the top of the screen to quickly uninstall apps.
- Long press an app in the hide apps list to quickly launch that app.
- Reboot after installing as system app (root required) to add widgets from the drawer.
Permissions:
- BIND_APPWIDGET: Required to add widgets from the drawer (only if installed as system app).
- CALL_PHONE: Create direct-dial shortcuts on the homescreen.
- EXPAND_STATUS_BAR/SET_WALLPAPER/SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS/VIBRATE: Standard launcher functions.
- INTERNET/ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Check for updates and anonymous usage/error reporting (optional).
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Backup/restore settings and data.

I have installed it successfully as a regular app on my SGS running ICSSGS RC4.2.
Would it create a problem if I make it a system app considering that this is an odexed ROM.?
EDIT: Converted to system app with no issues so far.

System app
How to install as a System app in GNex ?

To be totally honest..
Apex Launcher > Nova Launcher
It has all the tweaks I need and it's probably the most stable ICS based launcher I've used so far.

[Q] Homescreen Icons

Hi I have ussr rom v4 installed on my device and using its main launcher. I was wondering if I could change the icons at the bottom of my screen where the dialer and messages option is. Can anyone help please?
Thanks:good::good:

Use Holo Launcher

You cannot edit the icons at the home screen unless :
• Download any launcher capable on doing that.
• Edit the icons of the application you wanted to change.

The images have already been changed from this, i wanted to use another messaging app instead of the one that was already on there. I do not want to use Holo Launcher or anything else but how to change application images.
thanks

Widget Locker
The app Widget locker is a very customize-able locker replacement application.
Google play description: WidgetLocker is a lock screen replacement that puts you in control of the look, feel and layout of your lock screen.
- Drag and Drop placement of Sliders, Android Widgets and App Shortcuts
- Sliders look selectable from built-in styles (Ice Cream Sandwich, Gingerbread, Sense and Sense 3, Motorola, iPhone, and Rotary) or from user-themes.
- Slider Actions can be customized, for example Slide-to-launch-Camera or Slide-to-call-your-Girlfriend.
- Resizable widgets and custom grid size
- Notification badges on apps/sliders via TeslaUnread ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.notifier )
- Customize which widgets/buttons are allowed or blocked at the lock screen
Portions of WidgetLocker are based on the excellent ADW.Launcher ( http://t.co/YvVMkGc ) by Ander Webb and friends.

You can use a custom launcher which supports widget resizing. The TouchWiz launcher doesn't support this feature. I suggest you to use Holo or TT Launcher (developed on XDA)

yea .... i am talking about a touchwhiz launcher...
i have a launcher ..but its widget size is very small... but its a good launcher..though it is touchwhiz, it doesnt come with widget resizing option
so thats my ques...how can i edit that widget setting

You can install a modded TouchWiz version (I'm not sure about resizing feature )or install look-a-like TouchWiz launchers like S4, S3 or note 3 launcher. Go to www.galaxyyarchive.info to see. It's a site for galaxy y and you can learn a lot about your phone.

Yes it works the same just touch and hold on a home screen and choose widgets and they all should be there you might get a pop up asking you to allow nova to create the widget just click yes

The problem is that those stock widgets don't appear in any other launcher widget tab.
