small issue with apex launcher in the 1 day ive been using it

[james_uk]

i upgraded to ics 2 days ago, most things seemed fine, i decided to put a launcher on my phone, i usually just used stock but thought id give it a go.

after looking around i went with apex, looks good etc..

i have had 2 small issues though both relating to sms:

just before i got a text and i went to open my msgs and the phone just froze and went black, after about 10 secs it said swype cannot open and i had to restart the phone to get it working again.

also my sms icon no longer shows that i have texts, it would show a 1 or 2 on the icon before (yes it still worked fine after my ics upgrade, its since putting apex on the numbers have gone)

is this just a feature of apex or should i still be seeing the number of texts i have on the icon?

when i first installed apex the original sms icon didnt function and i havd to drag the icon from the apps draw onto the homescreen and that one worked.

anyway are the above issues known issues or am i doing something wrong?

After you did the update to ICS did you do a wipe data/factory reset? I know it's a pain but you really do need to do it. It clears out any remnants of the old OS that might be coursing conflicts.
I'm using Apex but can't remember if it shows sms count. I'm also using ICS icons on the dock bar, just to make it look more like ICS.

I'm using Nova Launcher and have the same problem with the notifications on both SMS and emails. I wondering if this was a TW thing that isn't included in other launchers?

[Richardj]

You have purchase the full versions of Nova and Apex to get the sms count and email count.

I have done this now and spotted it thanks

Well, paid my £2.55 for Nova Prime and it still don't show the sms / email count.....

Go launcher does and its free.

Anyone using Nova that that confirm if they get the SMS count or not please?

App updated last week and notification counts are now included in the Prime version.
