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

[idle0095]

does anyone know how to remove the verizon wireless from the lock screen without useing a market lockscreen? i just want the vzw gone. replace it with something else maybe.

I loaded over top of apex1.3.1 and no problems. The only problem is the text message icon does not work. I touch it it flashes like its opening and nothing happens. there are other ways to send a text but I would like to just hit text messages instead of having to go into contacts first. Any info from FAb or others would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise this rom rocks.

HDMI out does not work with this ROM...my quest for a ROM with it working continues.

In additon to my last queston a few posts up- I forgot to ask:

If I flash directly over apex 1.3.1, I wont have to reign into google or restore apps or anything like that - will I?

I just went over 1.3 no probe everything will stay up so long as you don't wipe data etc.

I just installed over 1.3.1.

The 'text messaging' app doesn't do anything when clicked.

So, when trying to use the 'messaging app' - that opens, but the update messed up the times on a lot of my texts..thus, throwing them out of order. Any fixes for that?

I thought it worked on Apex 1.3.1... seems kind of weird that it wouldn't work on 1.4. Oh well, I never really had a use for it anyway.

OK, I just installed Apex 1.4. The phone just restarted and is asking for my google account. Do I go ahead and do this? Now I will have to call verizon as well for the phone to start working? Anything else I need to know off the bat? This is my first time messing with rooting or anything.

No need to call Verizon, just dial *228 then press option 1 to program your phone.

Pardon? I just used it. You must have the blur gallery installed...

I upgraded over 1.3.1 (which was upgraded over 1.3.0 awhile ago), and the Market seems to have lost track of all my installed apps. I cleared the phone cache and waited to see if it was just the Market that was acting weird, but I guess it's a ROM thing.

Now that I can't upgrade my stuff since it's not acknowledged in the Market, I guess a full wipe will have to do.

due to obsessive compulsive disorder, i decided to factory reset, wipe cache, then flash apex 1.4.0..

i skipped google login as usual..when restoring my apps using Ti Restore - I hit 'restore missing apps w/ data' as I had when I installed 1.3.1 - but, now i noticed something odd..if I run that batch operation it will not only restore all of my apps/games - but, it looks like it wants to restore stuff like 'text messaging 2.2.1', 'social status 2.2.1', 'messaging 2.2.1', etc...i do not want those, correct? if i wanted to go back to blur apps, i can via toolbox?

therefore, should i let my apps be restored via the market for now??

I lost all sound using the phone/dialer a while ago, couldn't hear the person on the other end and could not hear the phone ring when I called someone. A reboot seems to have taken care of it.

This is a very old bug from 2.3.15, that did not occur for me in apex 1.3.1, but has come back with a vengence in 1.4. Fab, if you have any insight into this, it would be appreciated. It caused a lot of stir on the moto forums, i figured it had been squashed. I thought it was related to the voice privacy setting, but my experience today has proven me wrong. I just sbf'd and reinstalled 1.4 due to this, but i've only made one call so far. we'll see.

Everytimei go into my accounts and manually sync any google account I get
"The app. Google services framework, has stopped unexpectedly, please try again"

Apex 1.4, watermarkd theme From 1.3.1

You are restoring user+system apps. you want JUST user apps.

 

[RWil85]

There is no 'restore user apps' option..

Only 'restore missing apparently w/ data' is even close to what I want.

Can I just uncheck all of those and run the batch restore on just the user apparently? Makes sense, no?

ah, i must be thinking of the backup settings. Yep, you can do that.

Is it a problem to you Launcher Pro instead of ADW with Apex 1.4? I just can't get used to ADW and don't really know what I'm doing. I have had Launcher Pro forever.

Also will I need to go and get homeswitcher?

Did you change the Gallery app to the Mot one?

I'm using LPP with Apex 1.4.0 with no problems, just clear all icons and widgets off ADW homescreens. I even Freezed ADW launcher in Titanium Backup.

I love Apex, and it is the ROM I usually run. I've experimented, but always come back.

Just a quick question: it seems like my quadrant scores/performance on Apex is lower than on Liberty and Rubix. I score something like 1400-1500+ on those roms, but consistently in the low-mid 1300s on Apex.

Is there any way to implement whatever they are implementing to boost the performance? Not that it isn't great now, it is, but would def love it to be better.

Also, is there any way to implement the GUI of the Liberty toolbox as opposed to the terminal-style currently implemented?



Also, any chance you can team up with them and create a super ROM? lol. I can only imagine a ROM with Rubix's speed, Liberty's toolbox, and Apex's reliability.

I 0pened Google Maps and I get a signing in message that just sits and sits. I don't get a GPS lock. Have others successfully used Google Maps?

Yes, I used it today.

I used Google Navigation today with no problems.

Just tried to recover my apex 1.3 back up. Forgot I had to format my SD card. So I lost my back ups. Should I sbf to 2.3.40 since I'm on liberty 1.5?

Not sure if this was a fluke or not but when I first ran a test I got about a 650 which I've never been nearly that low / I disabled screen animations and was back right up to 1395. Not sure but it seemed to help in my case using spare parts to disable the screen animations.
