Hi guys,
Is there anyway to have such option on my phone?

Some apps can. I believe go launcher does.
Lol that's an iPhone, you could always get one of those I guess
I think launcher pro has this kind of notification for sms/email etc in the dock bar never tried it on ICS.
Apex launcher pro has these too and is a great launcher for ICS. Check out the section for unread notifications here:

Nova launcher pro does that as well...

Hello,
is there a simple way to replace all the Samsung standard icons with the Vanilla (stock) Android icons?
I really don't like many of them (e.g the ugly messaging icon).
Thanks in advance
Hmm...maybe with launcherpro you can change icons for apps you put on your homescreen. You can't do that with app drawer.
The only way seems to install a aosp-clean rom (when we'll get cyanogen I think we'll be ok) OR to install the aosp version of the apps you're interested in...guess they won't all work, but some should. Music will definitely work (I used it in some rom, and the samsung icon is really horrible), also calendar and messages I think should work...of course that would change also the application itself, not just the icon...
Download ADW Launcher, and then search for "aosp adw theme" in market and install.
Folder organizer might be useful in this case.
Although haven't tried!

I do it but that way i still don't have the AOSP drawer like the second picture that you can see here
there's a setting somewhere in ADW to activate that kind of drawer?

No, that's the 3D App Drawer from Launcher Pro in that picture.

Hi all,
How many of you here are using Apex Launcher/Pro on your HOX?
How do you find it? I like Sense but I'm thinking of fiddling with a different launcher.
Does Apex LAuncher allow Landscape Home Screens?
If I don't like it I can just uninstall it right? Also I'm guessing I don't need to be r00ted to use the launcher...
Thanks all,

Thanks for that, I've installed it, seems okay...
Still no Landscape though, I'm guessing that's something to do with the rosie?

It does have landscape support - you have to go: Apex Settings - Behaviour Settings - Screen Orientation - Auto-rotate.

How exactly does this work then? Does it take over the sense totally? IE... When I turn my phone on I am booted in to this and when I lock it etc.. etc.. or do I have to open it each time I want to use it?
Sorry to sound a little dumb on this but I am a complete newby to android.

You can choose a default launcher to choose from. I've just chosen Apex Launcher... I still have the standard lockring on my lockscreen...
You can reset the default launcher in Apex Launcher settings. I'm still kinda new to this myself so I'm not too sure on all the in's-and-out's.

Okay so when you turn the phone on its the standard lockscreen, you move that and it opens directly into Apex Launcher as if Sense never existed? Sounds like something fun to mess around with.
I'm guessing it can't do any damage to the phone or the standard OS etc... then?

That's correct, it's all the same... just a different launcher.
The stock launcher is all intact, Apex doesn't overwrite anything, it's just an App really.

All makes perfect sense...
and +1 to Apex Launcher. I tried them all this past week and I just liked Apex better. I am sure they all do similar things, with a couple of things different. I purchased the Pro version of Apex.
Not sure if I can make the lock screen like my Apex home screen. I am still learning (time dependant), do very much like it though. Even my iPhone work mates seem impressed
I have been using Apex since Friday. I liked it so much I ended up paying for it.
Im not sure how many more features were enabled but I thought it would be the least I could do.
Main reason for switching. Laggy Home screen swithching in sense.
I have widgets on every screen now and its flawless!
Apex Launcher Pro consumes a lot of battery on my HOX 1.28
I back to Sense 4 and prefer Nova Launcher

When playing with various launchers, your battery may drain very fast because of the widgets you have running on the screens of the inactive launcher.
If you try Apex, it's a good idea to remove all widgets from your Sense screens first.

I switch off, all the widgets from Sense4 before try Apex
And reboot the terminal.
apex user here also. loving it. it's just smooth and full of features.
That's good to know, I'll remove my widgets from my Sense 4.0 Launcher and then boot back into Apex Launcher.
I'm also running GO Locker, GO Launcher EX with the ICS GO Locker Lock ring...
Sometimes when I power the screen back on I get the Sense 4.0 lock ring, so I unlock to homescreen then the ICS GO Locker ring will appear, so I have to unlock that one too! So I'm unlocking with two rings wtf?
I use Apex too and also bought the Pro version in supprot of the devs coz I liked it so much. I'm not even sure what the advantages are for Pro version. Hehehehe...
I've recently installed Apex Launcher on my N7 and am very pleased with the extreme customization options with the exception of one thing, its petty, but it bothers me.
With the Apex Launcher lock screen, there is no option to directly unlock to google now. Does anyone know of a workaround to make that happen?
I have looked all over the Apex options but cannot find any answer. Thanks

AFAIK, Apex Launcher does not have a custom lock screen It still uses the stock one, or whatever custom lockscreen you are using.
Maybe you have installed a custom one? Or are you using a ROM with a customizable lockscreen?
Lockscreen is part of the rom, look in your rom's lockscreen settings if you're on a rom with a customisable lockscreen eg. CM10, AOKP, CNA based roms
What are you talking about? Apex doesn't affect the lockscreen. I m on stock with apex n I can slide it up n unlock to Google just fine.

Instead of starting a new thread about apex launcher I hope I can borrow your thread.
I have a question about Apex and N7, on my other devices I can hide the statusbar, but not on N7.
It works fine with Nova, but it lacks some settings.
Can you all hide the statusbar with apex and Nexus 7?

Under behavior settings I have a swipe up gesture set to toggle status bar. Works. I swipe up and status bar shows. swipe up again and it hides.
Not sure if it would help, but somewhere under Apex's options is the ability to use Beta updates instead of Stable. The latest Beta updates were re-build with Jellybean launcher standards instead, which may help with things I guess.
Just updated to 4.4.2, wiped, and then installed google now launcher but I'm having a weird issue. A couple of LG apps like email and weather have had their icons replaced with a bugdroid icon. Mind you, this is only when I'm using Google now launcher. When I'm using the stock one, the icons are normal. Anyone know what's up with that?

Me too - I'm on the stock rooted UK 4.4 ROM. I installed Nova Launcher & the aforementioned icons are generic. The same happens with Apex Launcher. I tried deleting the icon cache in Nova Launcher under Lab Settings but nothing happened. If I try to edit the shortcuts on the desktop the relevant app icons are blank.
The icons look fine when using the stock launcher.
On holo launcher it lets me edit the icons of items in the dock and on the home page.
Rather than choosing a different image for an item, I can also choose "default icon".
This fixes the icons, but only on the home page and in the dock, not in the app drawer.

Not with Nova Launcher
Anyone have a theory as to why this is happening on third-party launchers?
I've emailed the Nova Launcher dev & will see if he replies
The dev wasn't able to help. Is there a way to extract the stock app icons from the ROM as image files and then we could edit the shortcuts?

In Holo launcher I can simply select the icons on the home page and change the images.
When changing I get the option of using a custom image, or use default.
When I select default, the icon works again.
However this fix only works on the home screen, not in the app drawer.
I know this thread is a little old but I just upgraded to KK and was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix this?

Hey guys
I just got my G Pad 8.3 2 days ago, and now I want to use a custom wallpaper, since I don't like the stock ones that much.
But whenever I change to a custom wallpaper the topbar is no longer transparent. Is there a way to fix this, without rooting?
I would like to kepp my warranty and use the fabric installed OS.
I have a Galaxy S4 where I don't have this problem.
I tested Apex launcher at that solved it, but for some reason I don't like the feel of Apex launcher. It feels different than the stock launcher which i would like to keep.
Thanks in advance

Give Nova a try. I use it to hide the bar and it works good.

Strange, I have stock 4.4.2 with stock LG launcher and I got transparent notification bar always, regardless of how I change my wallpaper (through menu or from gallery). I remember even with the "old" stock 4.1 it was anlways transparent.
