Root [ROM] ApeX 1.3.1 for Droid X - Running, running, as fast as it can (12/16/10)

Ok, I restored my Stock_OTA rom last night and let my battery charge all night. This morning, I wiped data and cache and re-installed Apex according to all the directions at Installation - FabDroid Wiki

One thing I noticed is that there were still several of the preloaded apps such as DLNA, FM Radio, Madden NFL 11, NFS Shift, etc. Are those still supposed to be there? I was sort of under the impression the Apex got rid of all the bogus apps?

Another issue that I have a question about is that it took maybe an hour to do the reinstall, setup and reinstall my apps from the Market. My battery at that point was down to about 80%. It has now been about 4 hours of intermittent/normal use and I am down to about 40%. I am wondering if I need to do more to get the same battery life as others have mentioned?
yes some of those apps fab left or gave us the ability to install/uninstall or switch through the scripts he built in ....gives us the best of both worlds.....as far as the battery let your battery charge to 100%....then go into clockwork recovery then go to advanced and you will see ,,,,,wipe batt stats,,,,select it and wipe them and that should help as well but only do this when your batt is up to 100%....there are other little tricks for battery life you will find all over the forums as well

so i just flashed this onto my DX yesterday. I love it except for one thing, whenever i receive a text message it shows up as a duplicate and shows 2 messages in the folder as well as notification bar... does anybody know how to fix this?

Use the terminal emulator to turn off one of the messaging apps using scripts

type in:

su (enter)

messaging (enter)

then messaging(space)[-mot] or [-aosp] (depending on which app you want to use)

you can find this info on Fab's wiki page
