Wasn't sure how to word this...I'm looking for an app/tweak that allows the home screens to reach the end and automatically go back to page one. Like it does when your on the applications pages.
I'm not rooted (yet) if this helps.
No need to root, just update to the latest update using kies. It is a feature of the latest version.

I used Kies and it says I'm on the latest update (2.3.4) and when I reach my last home screen I have to swipe back to the first one.
You could just try another launcher, for example go launcher has an option which lets you scroll screens circularly.

I could but I like samsungs actually. If they have enabled it I would like to have it working.
You've got two options then, wait till your carrier pushes the update or root and get the updated touchwiz.

Ok, thank you. Do you happen to have a quick link to the updated version?
You could always use TouchWiz 4.5? It's the stock launcher with tweaks (endless scrolling, themes, 3D app drawer etc.)

Apex Launcher seems to reload/redraw far too often whenever returning to the home screen. Can I make it persistnant or lock it into memory? (Preferably without using V6 supercharger)

Did you clear defult tw launcher?....I'm using adwex make aure its defult..and stop or freeze home launcher shouldn't have any issues after that..
Thanks for the response. Yes, default is cleared and TW Launcher is frozen. I'm only using Apex. I'll return to the home screen via the home button and my widgets take a few seconds to reload and the app drawer has to load as well. I was hoping there was a way to just keep it locked in memory.

You can always try a different launcher, I hear good things about nova, but I enjoy trebuchet. In my time, it has been the fastest launcher for me

If you are familiar with build prop tweaks this will lock it in...
ro.home_app_adj=1 -*Forces the launcher to stay in memory. This could slow down the front app, but allow for quicker app switching.
Research ....and see.....

I have had a bit of luck actually with using the bulletproof apps option in the V6 script. Once installed, run the bulletproof option and enter "anddoes" which is what apex is listed as then hit enter. It works on GB and on ICS but you have to go into to the data directory in script manager (assuming you have browse as root selected in config) and have the bulletproof script run on boot. So far (unless it's placebo lol) I have seen an improvement. I hope this helps other out!

Check "set as default" and select the launcher you want to use from now on.

Did u follow the instructions above? If so, then all u have to do to change it to a DIFFERENT launcher is find the one that is currently being used in system settings-applications-clear default. Then u can choose again.... Try it...

Nope. Works as you would expect when installing another launcher. I'm loving it. Very stable no random reboots

Not with CyanogenMod 10/10.1, plus the OP states he/she is using CM10 with Nova Launcher.
That will remove the bottom stock bar, but will also completely change the operating system. If you're willing to install CM10, I would recommend it. At the moment, I don't think there is away to change the Stock "Bar" at the bottom.
The latest version of Apex Launcher in the Play Store added support for transparent status bar.... I can't figure out how to enable it. Anyone know?

Open the apex settings screen and you should find it under the homescreen settings page about half-way down. It says that it might require root. I just tried it and it works for me. I am rooted, so I cannot address the unrooted case.

yep, its there, I have Apex v2.0.3 free and its there. The transparent status bar looks better for the Galaxy S 4 on Nova.
I've installed, uninstalled and all. I'm rooted running CM10.1. Not seeing it. Ahh well.

Odd... I have stock rooted and paid version of Apex. I see it. Homescreen Settings > UI Options. I see these 4 items:
Use tablet UI mode
Transparent notification bar (says may require root access)
Show persistent search bar
Search bar style

I think it is because you are CM10.1. I am not positive, but the way I see it is the CM10.1 makes it so your phone isn't a Galaxy S4 in a sense. So maybe Apex is seeing that you aren't a Galaxy S4. Not sure, but just a thought.

Help
:crying: Guys i am using xperia Z
No such option under home screen setings
pls help
i need it....
Thanks in advance
I'm using HTC One with sense 5 and Apex Launcher Pro v2.1.0. The setting is there for transparency under 'Homescreen settings' but when I press it I get a pop up "Root access unavailable or denied". So, settings there but doesn't work for me, not rooted. Seems weird seeing as sense 5 by default has a transparent bar yet I need to be rooted to use this feature.

how to enable notification bar in apex launcher !
My phone doesnt support rooting
Now that the OTA is finally rolling out and people are updating, I think it's a good time for a thread about the differences aside from what's mentioned in the changelog. It'll give a little insight as to what's changed/added.
So feel free to start listing out what's changed!

Don't notice anything new right off the bat with the camera. It did take a while to update the firmware though. Still have to dig around
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Here is a summary of changes I noticed:
UI is smoother than before with no hiccups yet, but that may be a placebo effect.
Notification panel toggles look shorter and waste less vertical space. They cannot be turned off anymore. Now you can only select which ones can be scrolled through horizontally before you have to open the full toggles drawer.
Default font seems to have been updated, though I am not sure whether I was on Samsung Sans beforehand and it simply reset the font.
Upon further inspection, it seems as if my font choice has been reset to default from Samsung Sans.
Camera firmware update, but I don't immediately see any changes.
When viewing photos in gallery or camera app, the date taken is shown briefly on the bottom left.
GPS location and Verizon location services have been merged into one option, it is no longer possible to disable Verizon location services if you want to use GPS.
Blocking mode, reading mode added.
Wifi notification can be disabled.
Play store updated to new sliding drawer, version 4.4.2.1 (this may have just been a coincidentally simultaneous update on my part).
There is a link in the app drawer to install KNOX, which looks like some sort of secure VM based on the text in the app.
NFL Mobile added (may have been in MI1 and I just didn't notice, but it is in my app drawer).
Contacts list is more compact (white space removed), you can now see approx. 9 contacts at a time. There is no scroll bar anymore, and the letters to quickly jump through the list are permanently visible.
Wifi location polling when wifi is off (as per Android 4.3).
Calculator is fullscreen (no status bar) with no way to change it, pretty sure this didn't happen before.
The stock music player can now play the mp3 files I have saved on the device. It always said that the files were unsupported beforehand, and I did not change them at all.
The dialer doesn't seem to lag as much when looking up contacts as you type (666 for "MOM"), but this might have come with the overall UI. It also doesn't lock up the phone for half a second when initiating a call anymore.
With Air View on, a few of the options in Developer Options are highlighted when hovering over them (not sure where this came from or why it is there, maybe testing for their 4.4 build, but I noticed it when going through the settings).
Clock app UI updated.
"Disable" in application manager is renamed to "Turn off."
That is all I can see immediately. I do not use stock launcher, keyboard, browser, or email so I did not check these.
Just quick question for those that got it, one of you said your font got reset did ajuthing else reset or get wiped?

Developer Option Reset
There is a bug with the new camera. I have all the animation and transitions set to off in developer options. Transition animation scale gets set to 1x every time the camera is launched. Super annoying.
Thanks for such a complete changelog!
Google Play updated on my VzwGS4 4.2.2 ME7 and now has sliding drawer.
