Root [ROM] ApeX V1.4.1 for Droid X & Droid 2 - Refinement and Ease of Use (2/22/2011)

Really leaning toward trying this out...with a rooted X I've so far not felt the need for anything but stock. (Coming from my old Eris with many different ROMs)

I understand this ROM will come "baked" with ADW launcher. I prefer launcher Pro - can ADW be uninstalled?

Also, I assume I will need to install the Droid X Recovery Bootstrap (for $2.00 from the market) and then I will be able to make a Nandroid of my stock ROM?

Yes, you can uninstall ADW and use LP instead, I prefer LP myself.

And yes on bootstrap.

Yes you can remove ADW and use whatever launcher you would like.

Bootstrap is somewhat required and is real handy for making backups.

No I love love love love it can't u read :D lol

Dang it :mad: I downloaded the ApeX 1.4.0 zip file and after I wiped data cleared cache, dalvik, etc. I went to install ApeX 1.4.0 and it aborted....I had to restore my Liberty 1.5.

Turns out I didn't get a complete download of ApeX 1.4.0. Maybe it's a sign that I should just stick with Liberty :p:D

Got everything set up and all is smooth as expected. It isn't as snappy as Liberty but I suspect it's because of the screen transitions. I think they are pretty enough to keep them on my phone. Now it's time to dig into that toolbox. Would love to have a UI based toolbox like Liberty but I'm not gonna complain any more than that. Thanks for writing all those lines of code Fab! I've been following you on Twitter. ;)

I came from Liberty 1.5 but all I did was restore a clean backup that I have that I use to install new ROMs with.

so glad I grabbed that .340 sbf and did just that this weekend. Clean stock, nandroid, now finally have that stock backup to do just this. Great idea and works so good!

Have a ton of backups now, I swear my phone is heavier! :)
