Apex Launcher question

[jnl813]

Does anyone know how to make the swiping of the homescreens FAST, other Launchers have this option but I can't find it on here. I am using Nova for now until I figure it out, and Nova is not bad its just that Apex offers more options for free.

If I understand the Apex launcher settings correctly, it is already set to the fastest setting. When you go into the Apex settings, tap on "Homescreen settings," and tap on "Minimum scrolling time." The description of this option states:

This option controls the minimum time it takes to transition from one page to another.

Zero is the default value. Otherwise, smaller values allow faster scrolls.

The setting is set to zero and goes to 100. I use a Galaxy Nexus and swiping between homescreens goes as fast as I swipe. The faster I swipe, the fast I go between homescreens. Obviously this may be different for the Epic 4G or the EVO 4G LTE (not sure which you have) as they are different phones. If you have an EVO 4G LTE, I would think it would be pretty responsive because it has similar internals (if not better) than the Galaxy Nexus.

I tried that and its slow compared to Nova ....try it and it'll blow your mind how much faster it is! I hope this feature is not part of the paid version.

Anyone?

I've tried Nova before and didn't remember seeing a difference. After just installing it again, I see what you're referring to. My guess is that Apex launcher is using the stock settings for the speed. Unfortunately, it is not configurable like it is in Nova. You could email the Apex developer and ask if they could implement something similar in the next version.

While I understand that Apex offers more options for free than Nova, you may want to consider purchasing the Nova upgrade for $4. Because you enjoy Nova better due to the speed, it might be nice to support the developer.

I will give it a month for someone to come out with an AOSP Rom if not then ill support the Nova full version. I'm only using it for this reason. Don't like sense

I was playing with the Apex launcher and realized I had something backwards. When using the option for the scrolling time in both the homescreen and drawer sections, leaving it at 0 makes it scroll at the normal stock speed. If you adjust the speed to 1, the scrolling is super fast. Somewhere between 20 and 30 seems to make it match the speed of Nova.

Of course, this doesn't do anything for the animation speed, which Nova provides options for. I hope this makes Apex a little better for you.
