Root DX 602 Rooted! Time for Apex!

[Poehring]

So I just wanted to make sure I'm doing this right. I downloaded the Apex 2.0 ROM for Rooted Gingerbread .602. I put it on my SD Card. Im a little unclear from reading the instructions as the easiest way to install. Should I Titanium Backup first? Once I do that, do I just find the file on my SD card and run it? That will take care of the rest? Or is there something else I should do first. I think im missing a step. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

you first need to download d2 bootstrapper, or dx bootstrapper, your choice with d2 you dont have to change anything, with dx bootstrapper you have to untick something (*forgot*) and tick it back after you instlal a rom

use titanium to back up your apps.

with d2 bootstrapper just open it
click Bootstrap Recovery,
hit ok for success
then hit reboot recovery
scroll to wipe data, and wipe it
then scroll to wipe cache, and wipe it
scroll to install zip from sd card
choose location
locate apex and install. reboot and your done

I want to root the .602 update and i have all the necessary stuff to do so but can i use any rom once ive rooted it? or do i have to use gb based roms only? i like the liberty rom..but do i have to wait for devs to make roms for the .602 base gb??

I would not rush to install Apex. There are probs with the latest RC3.

I really haven't heard any more complaints about that airplane mode issue man

i was going to ask you trooper what problems have you heard?

apex is a solid rom choice to go with IMO, if you want a rom that virtually removes all bloat with incredible battery life, go for apex, fab works hard for us and rest assured any bugs will be fixed asap.

you can only flash gb roms, basically only apex as of right now is available for .602
shuji wont be far behind, not so sure about liberty, as i havent heard much from jrummy as of late, hopefully everything is ok and he ports liberty over to .602


try out apex is a solid choice

 

[tsargent347]

ok do you guys have a link for the apex rom that will work for .602, and just to clarify i need to download d2 bootstraper correct to get clockwork?

 

[tsargent347]

and are the gb roms better than froyo roms? like with less bugs and stuff? and run faster?

Airplane mode and force closes. For both myself and another forum member.

I'm far from a n00b and followed everything to a T Fab. Id offer to send you logcats but Im on a different ROM atm.

so apex isnt stable right now for newly rooted .602

I haven't had any issues at all with ApeX 2.0 RC3. It's actually been running quite well for about 2 days now.

That's cool but check out his thread. Others are having some data issues as well.

Okay well Apex is the only ROM currently working with GB .602, correct?

Liberty does as well, though its not really official if you know what I mean.

I agree. I haven't had any issues either. Battery life is great as well

so liberty does work on .602? and i was looking in the Apex rom thread for .602 and i saw that a couple people were haveing issues loading paid apps from their markets on their phone..someone else was having the same issue on a different rom..does it have something to do with them being rooted and romd? or is it an issue with the rom they are on..im not rooted yet but if rotting wont allow me to get paid apps i think ill hold off

 

[VoidedSaint]

so far from what i know apex is the only one on .602

 

[bouchigo]

Shuji is also .602.

 

[tsargent347]

ok so whats going on with people not being able to download paid apps off the market? ive seen a couple people with both roms having this issue..both Shuji and Apex.. page 2 in this forum...[ROM][DROIDX] ApeX 2.0.0 Release Candidate (RC3) (8/27/2011)

 

[sereneDelusions]

I have had no problems with this version of Apex yet. Runs smooth, no FC's, no market issues here... oh and my density mod works with the dialer this time around. Pretty happy with Apex...cant wait for the final.

I have been on RC3 since Sunday with no issues. It works great on my phone!

Only problem I'm having is trying to buy PowerAMP . It keeps giving me an "An Error occurred. Please try again" message. WTF?
