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

[bouchigo]

Using LPP w/scrolling widgets.
Launcher x pro w/scrolling widgets.
Other widgets.

Issue: Widgets won't load upon boot. Problem got worse and worse. Waited up to 20 minutes before rebooting.

What I tried:

Factory data reset.
SBF and a fresh install.
Boot script overwritten from toolbox.

Nothing worked.

Back on 1.3.1 until I can get issue resolved because phone is unusable, otherwise.

Any ideas?

I noticed this too, but it only did it during the first 3-4 reboots, it hasn't it done it since.....don't know if it will happen again though

2 things...
1) anyone know the name of the apk to remove to get rid of NFS Shift? I dont see it in the system/app list
2) there shouldnt be any harm in deleting ADW if im running launcherpro right?

1) Remove it straight from Manage Applications under Settings

2) No...it won't hurt.

I dont really have any ideas for you, but all of my LPP scrolling widgets (and other widgets) work perfectly...
loading on boot and scrolling/updating like they should

Ok.. how did you load them. Did you do a fresh install or a Tibu restoration? (I did the latter.). I'm looking for the key here. tia.

Mine got worse as I went. Back on 1.3.1 and will try again.

1) If your using TiBu you can remove it that way.
2) You can remove it, I prefer to freeze it in titanium so that I can restore it if I need to remove LPP and install it again to fix funky issues. (I have had to do this in the past)

I loaded up LPP and had no trouble with scrolling widgets. I did a fresh install of everything though. I have since uninstalled LPP, as I get a litter better performance with ADW.

Perhaps I have too much going on on my launcher. I've rebuilt my version of 1.3.1 with nexolution and backed it up. Now I'm reloading 1.4.0 and will go with GoLauncher with fewer scrolling widgets. I hope that works.

If Fab wants to weigh in on this, that'd be fabulous!

 

[Brav1111]

Hey Fab (or anyone else), any ideas why me modifying the build.prop would mess up the dialer from opening up? When I open the Dialer it closes right away and my antenna disconnects for a couple seconds.

All I changed was the lcd density.

I had to ditch Go Launcher because each time I rebooted, my Widgets would randomly appear on different screens behind other widgets. I'm using ADW EX without any issue. Scrolling Widgets work fine.

I am using LPP and had to remove my widgetsand readd them when I reinstalled LPP and restored my Home Screen Settings. But it tells you that it won't be able to restore widgets when you first back up your LPP Settings under preferences.

I did a TiBu restoration.

Any chance to get a graphical toolbox like liberty?

I actually like the emulator toolbox better! It makes me feel "smarter"

I C What You Did There

and fwiw I did a fresh install of all apps. I dont use TiBu. I had a backup of my LPP settings from Liberty that I installed (only LPP widgets stay, all others have to be reloaded)

 

[ECFfighter7232]

1) If your using TiBu you can remove it that way.
2) You can remove it, I prefer to freeze it in titanium so that I can restore it if I need to remove LPP and install it again to fix funky issues. (I have had to do this in the past)

I dont use TiBu though. thats why I was wondering what the apk was called

also, for anyone not being able to uninstall apk's from the toolbox.... They ARE case sensitive I believe. madden.apk wouldnt work but Madden.apk worked

Now that I have the THX sound on boot, how do I get rid of it?

 

[Wally World]

How do I change the window transitions?

Now that I have the THX sound on boot, how do I get rid of it?

In Terminal

su
apextoolbox
6 (Goodies)
3 (Toggle Custom Boot Animation)
2 (Disable [Legacy animation - Android])

Reboot fone

I would also like to know if this is possible.

I would also like to know if this is possible.

What launcher are you using?

I'm using ADW EX. I change from there.

Thanks but that got rid of the animation all together.

 

[taknactn]

I'm wondering if I should try out Liberty and LPP cause I am seeing all these post about em but I've only used APEX.

So much love for the APEX ROM though, but some experience might be useful.

Any suggestions?

Edit: FAB I trust your opinion.

Delete the apex.mp3 file from /system/media and there will be no sound, just the animation.

 

[pank]

Look in the apex toolbox folder and you should see the .mp3 / just delete it or move it somewhere else.

That worked for me and doing it that way I didn't lose the sweet ass boot animation

Having problems installing apps back. Especially Launcher Pro. Says installed, doesn't show up in drawer, reinstall, reboot, clear cache, nothing.

Scroll back up to the answer I gave you.

Launcher Pro doesn't ever show up in the drawer, you launch it by hitting the home button.
