I wish Verizon wouldn’t have been displeased with the QuickView feature of Moto’s new ICS and JB builds. The feature is there, and it’s running and eating up memory but it’s not “active” (I have it frozen now). It was enabled in the RAZR M test builds and I really liked it.

RAZR HD/M owners, go check your processes. You’ll see it running.

They work well on my gs3, with Nova having been a little smoother.

Search for UCCW on play store. There are several really good Circle Widget ish themes available for it all on the store and most for free.

I was scared you were going to ask me that because I just deleted it to go back to beautiful widgets for a fuller look. I think it was ‘rings digital weather clock’ on the market. I believe there were a few on ‘thousand clocks gallery’ and there was at least one other free program on the market where you could make your own, but I can’t recall the name. Search circle clock widget or something to that effect. Good luck.

All the launchers have slowed down my phones, from my D1 to my GNex, after a day or so using them, they slowly slow down the system till it is real laggy/buggy i just uninstall it. What’s the point if it slows the whole system down. Probably might work better with quadcores though.

I would have said the same thing, right up until this update. I haven’t given it much time yet, but this version of Apex Pro seems super! Smoother than Nova Prime, from what I can see, and there’s a richer set of configurations. I imagine I’ll be going back and forth between the two as time goes on, but for now — December 18, 2012 — Apex Pro is king.

I only have 10 point increments, but at 10 it works great! Back to Apex I go!

Not sure. Never paid attention to that. The only thing I can think of, is if a reboot caused it.

Yes I understand the crop…but why does the time line go back up?

I read posts all the time about Apex being sluggish. Even though I have already posted this in other threads before I don’t think anyone has ever seen it or tried it. So here goes one more time.

If speed and fluidity is what you want in a launcher then Apex cannot be beat. Go into homescreen and drawer settings and change the “minimum scrolling time” in both to 1.

Again change the minimum scrolling time to “1″ in homescreen and drawer settings.

You will be amazed at how fast and fluid Apex is. Anything above 1 is slower since 1 is the fastest setting. If you like it slower you can try 5 or 10. But 1 is simply fast and amazing.

Give it a try and re-evaluate.

Apex can’t be beat if you make one simple adjustment. Adjust the “minimum scrolling time” in homescreen settings and drawer settings to “1″. If fluidity and speed is your thing you will never go elsewhere again.

Give this a try. Apex has always been amazing if you do this….

Go into “homescreen settings” then “minimum scrolling time” and change the value to 1.

Then go into “Drawer settings” and then “minimum scrolling time” and also change it to 1.

Give this a try and then you will see that Apex is the best option and you will never again go back to any of the other options. I wish it set this as default since most people don’t bother figuring out the settings.
