What did i do??? -- app launcher

[shelliewnj]

Okay, i saw someone recommend app launcher, so i looked at it, and even though i don't know what i'm doing yet, figured it looked cool, so i downloaded it from the playstore. now my phone is blank. it shows the top notification bar and my wall paper and that's it. don't know what to do. if i could get to settings, i would disable or uninstall it, but i can't even do that. i was hoping to get better customization, but at this rate, it looks like i would be better off with just vanilla I have tried several things (like widget thingamajigs and lock screen thingies) and i always make things worse. this is probably the worst tho, cuz i can't figure out what to do to make it go away!

I can try to help but Im also new to this. Do you have a drawer button at the bottom of your screen ( it looks like 6 dots that are 3 dots wide and 2 dots tall ) if so touch the button and it should show you all your apps. Look for the settings button ( looks like 3 sliders one on top of the other ) touch it and you can go into apps to uninstall apex. Let me know if this works. If you can get to google play you should be able to uninstall it from there also.

no, nothing. just my wallpaper and the drop down menu with my jd and no current notifications.

If you can get to the google play store you can uninstall it there.

Do you know what version of Android you're running? I know Apex isn't supposed to run on anything less than 4.0.

If you have 4.0 or higher you should be able to get to the setting menu by pulling down the notifications menu and pressing the settings button in the top right corner.

If your phone has a menu button, try pressing it to get into settings.

Press the home button on your phone. It may give you an option to use Apex or the default launcher (pick the default one ).

okay Italo, thanks. i was able to get back to the home screen that way now, if i want to use this thing (should i quit now or try?) how do i do it! LOL sometimes these apps should come with tutorials rather than thinking everyone with an android is instinctively going to know how to use it!

I tried to find their user manual, but only got as far as the Apex Launcher FAQ.
