Im pretty sure there was a post about this launcher here but i did a search and couldnt find it.
I have been using it for a while now, and am thinking it has replaced go launcher as my fav launcher.
The Current version i am on is QQLauncher Pro 1.42 and it is amazing.
One thing that i have found amazing for the s2 is it includes a lock screen, it has take over from the stock lockscreen with for me NO issues, i havent seen it flash up in the background unexpectedly or anything.
The theme and style are alot like MIUI but ofc with a proper app draw.
Id recomend people give it a try if they are up for trying a new dock/lock screen combo.
I think i will give a shot at making a theme for it soon.
On a side note the lock screen works even if you arent using the launcher as your default. so you can have the TW launcher and this pretty nice locks screen if you wish.
thanks, but if I wanted my android phone to look like an Iphone I would have bought an iphone
Not if u like the interface but not the os
I like the look of this launcher. Not sure how it can be compared to an iPhone, MIUI yes, but not this launcher. The unfortunate thing is it force closes every time I try and add an application. Will watch it to see how it progresses.
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.

But still, thank you thank you thank you!!!!
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.

That's what I said yeah
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...

That lockscreen is stock JB, the Note 2 uses Touchwiz, and so comes with the Touchwiz lockscreen.
As far as i know, no one has ported the stock JB lockscreen to the Touchwiz Note 2.
Alternatives are available in the Play Store, i.e. Holo Locker as mentioned above.
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.

Maybe it does, but I would like to keep the stock launcher if possible.
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.

That just makes my situation much more strange. I have stock 4.4.2 - the tablet was bought 9 days ago..
Hi, I have a new Samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4, and I would like to keep touchwiz at first. But I don't find where I could change or adding app launchers to dock. It only has the google bar and I would like to approach it a little more.
Thanks.

I don't know if I get it... You can install any launcher like Apex, Nova, Go Launcher etc. from the play store and keep your touchwiz rom.
But I'm sure that's nothing new to you...
Thanks, I usually use Nova, but with this new tablet I wanted to give an opportunity to Touchwiz.

I use Nova Launcher on a debloated touchwiz rom, too. I don't like samsung's magazine ui and touchwiz surface is not that customizable as I want it to be. Nova works also very smoothly!
Thanks, I think finally I will move to Nova. But I use this tablet mainly for work and I didn't want to modify it very much.
