Hi.
Can someone help me out.Tried to install Apex 1.3.1
I am on the Android 2.2.1 new 2.3.340 OTA update (confirmed it)

Rebooted into Koush's Bootstrap Recovery
wipe data 2x
wipe cache 2x
install from sdcard
Choose the Apex Flash_1.3.1.zip

After it says "Copying files ....
Copying files....
then

Getting the following errors:

E:Can't mount SYSTEM:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p21
E:Can't mount Failure at Line 6:

Installation aborted


Any ideas? I even trried to restore from Nandroid and that failed as well.
I AM COMPLETELY SHOCKED THIS HAPPENED....

any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hmm, for some reason as soon as I install the apex 1.3.1 goodies zip (wanted the battery percentages and the widget picker app to condense the menu) the moto messaging stops working for me. I've reflashed, wiped, flashed, wiped, and flashed for the third time. It works perfectly fine until I drop the goodies zip then for some reason it no longer works for me. Using the aosp app isnt that big of a deal I just cant figure out why it wont work for me. :thinking:

get the free k-9 mail from the market. under account settings disable "keep mail on server". also you can use k-9 for gmail since it uses push notifications it keeps your battery usage low.

Thanks for the suggestion! I did try both K-9 as well as MailDroid and neither of them would work in the manner I want. K-9 stated that it doesn't work well with free hotmail accounts and the MailDroid will only support ActiveSync for Exchange 2007 which Hotmail doesn't use so I'll just have to live with having to mark my hotmail messages as read manually! :thinking:

I was wondering if anyone has seen any issues with the browser in this ROM? I've had several instances where the browser just sits at the "loading" page and both arrows are lit indicating a data transfer is happening but the page never loads and occasionally if the page does load none of the buttons or links work on the page. Sometimes I can fix it by turning on/off airplane mode and other times I have to FC the browser and clear the cache for it to start working again. I'm also seeing quite a few "network error" messages when I'm connected to WIFI but I can't tell if its due to the crappy reception where I'm at or something with the phone. I am also seeing a few of these errors when I turn off WIFI and drop back to the cellular connection but that could be because cell reception in this room is also bad. Anyone have any ideas and/or suggestions?

I am new at this so I just want to make sure that I do this correctly. I have been following another thread and I have rooted, backed up and have done everything else except load a new ROM. ApeX 1.3.1 was recommended so I am here almost ready to install it, however in the other thread (New to android new to rooting.....Advice and questions.) they are describing the installation as if I shouldn't loose all my data.

In your installation instructions you say

Place file on sdcard. Install ROM from sdcard in ROM manager. Wipe data and cache.

Does the "Wipe data and cache" mean that I will loose all my contacts, sms messages and all my data?

If so, can I install the ROM without the "Wipe data and cache" and it all still work?

Col questions.
Your powerbar has like 7 buttons how did u get that?
The bottom bar that houses your app drawer has more then the standard three shortcuts, how did you do that as well

there is an app-widget called "extended controls" that allows you to customize the widget with multiple options/colors/etc. as for the dock: i'm assuming it's launcher pro which has the option for 5 icons (including app drawer).

Try typing the following into terminal emulator:

su
sys -rw
mv /system/usr/bin/setup_bt.sh /system/usr/bin/setup_bt
sys -ro
reboot

Droid gurus,

I got cocky yesterday and thought I had finally figured out how to comfortably get this thing to do what I want and I installed the ADW_Launcher_EX app as well as the DroidXChat_Nexolution_1_3_1 theme. Now I'm having a few problems:

- I was seeing the problem with the error message that says the system is not responding so I dug back through this thread and performed the steps listed above, on this reboot I haven't had the issue reoccur, but I've only done a single reboot.

-- I'm getting an error message after the system reboots and I clear the lock tab of "Application GMAIL (process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly" and I have to do a FC on it. I looked back through the thread on the themes and saw that there was a change to the zip file for the theme due to some changes in GMAIL so I grabbed the new zip and installed it, still getting the same message on reboot. I also installed the REVOlution_ApeX_1_2 and REVOlutionBLU_ApeX_1_2 themes but again I'm still getting this problem, anyone have some ideas of what to try next?

Also, since I'm a N00B who likes to putz with stuff, could someone point me to a list of terminal commands that I could play around with to get familiar with what I assume is the linux shell that is the magic behind the Droid?

Thanks

Try this... menu>settings>applications>manage applications>press the "all" tab>scroll to gmail>clear data.
See if that fixes your gmail fc issue.
