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

[PatHoge]

What launcher are you using?

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

You can change window animations in ADW EX? I'm using the free version of ADW.

Scroll back up to the answer I gave you.

lol I missed that post. thanks. cant believe I didnt think about that ::alm face:::

Yes you sure can

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

This worked. Thank you.

 

[taknactn]

This worked. Thank you.

Thanks bouchigo. Now i can reinstall .zip and ditch the sound. lol

practice practice practice

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

Doh! Sorry. Thanks.

Can you change the window transitions?(Not Launcher Pro's home screen transitions)

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.

The stock dialer, as well as lots and lots of other things, do not get along well with LCD density mods.

top gear top tip: you can change global font size with spare parts.

I'm so frustrated. I'm back on 1.4.0, but I've dumped LPP. I'm back on Go Launcher and hope I don't run into this issue of widgets refusing to load, anymore.

Wait are they homescreen animations or window animations? I'm gettin two different answers here!

No problem guys

I know homescreen animations are controlled by the launcher. I am asking how to change the window animations. They seem to squeeze in and out when opening/closing windows-don't like it.

Yeah I get what you're saying, I'm trying to figure out the same thing.

Installed 1.4 over 1.3.1 no problem. But did notice that the boot animation was just the Motorola 'M'. I had been using 'AndroidParticles2' from over at XDA without issue. So I went into Apex toolbox and chose to 'Install' boot animation. It said it was already installed. So I re-booted. Same thing, no animation. Went back to toolbox, chose un-install. Rebooted, went back to toolbox, chose install, rebooted, same thing, no animation. I have even placed a copy of my original AndroidParticles2 back into the data/local folder manually and renamed it bootanimation.zip, no go. Also put a copy of it into system/media where I did notice a 'apex.mp3' file, nada still.

thanks,

I'm on 1.3.1 and have only done this once. How do i go about installing this update. Do i just install right over the top of everything. I don't want to loose all my contacts again and all my overclock profiles and stuff.

 

[Wally World]

How do I change to the Motorola Messaging Suite?

 

[maximus2102]

My phone keeps rebooting after a while. Is that a common thing for the droid x. Followed the steps to install if coming from the previous version.

How do I change to the Motorola Messaging Suite?

su
apextoolbox
1 Customize Apps
6 Messaging (sms..)
2 Blur Messaging Suite

 

[Wally World]

Nice. I like the rom, but it seems to lag a bit scrolling through settings, etc.

You should be fine installing over 1.3.1 - but always make a nandroid backup first just in case.

Install this View attachment ApeX_1.4.0_Boot_Animation.zipto sd and bootstrap recovery, choose .zip. should be good to go.

Have you tried ADW EX?

May dumb question since you are more experienced.

I had the same problem but I used the toolbox for cronmod and fixed startup script. Then I reset my OC settings using Droid Overclock by JRummy16. I'm set at Low Voltage 1.25 for performance with the screen on and running sooooooooooooooooo smooooooooth.

 

[maximus2102]

Think im going to uninstall it. My phone keeps rebooting too much.
