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

thanks for the help with the question. TY. now can some help me with
one more question. i didnt make a back up when i used rom manager to install apex. reason is because i had to try rom manager 10 times for it to finaly work. boot strap works so much better now and rom manager to me is too buggy because it wont but into recovery like its suppose to do. so i didnt make a back up of my droid x rom. if i ever want to go back to the stock rom how would i do that??

Did you ever select the option "Flash clockworkmod recovery "in rom manager?that may be your problem .....open rom manager select it then select your device and then it should boot onto recovery .....
also to return back to stock you can flash the .340 system sbf or use madderstocks zip found here
maderstcok - OTA 2.3.340 update.zip

Your correct about Rom Manager. Lots of people find it just doesn't work they way it should. :(:(

I just use Bootstrap for all my stuff. I rename the file after i get it saved and restored using Astro file manager. IE: 2011-02-08Apex (keeps my date of backup that way)

If you did not make a nandroid then you probably (most likely) would have to do a SBF on your phone. No issue at all..........just takes time.

I've been running Apex 1.3.1 for a while now w/ADW Ex, etc and it runs great(can't wait for the next version)! I've finally decided to overclock. I got the Jrummy Droid Overclock app and set the scaling freq to LV 1.25GHz, and to set on boot, etc. I've also downloaded linpack and got a benchmark for 16.939MFLOPS. How do I know if my overclock is working?

Thanks, i just tried quadrant standard and I measured 1603(i think i'm satisfied). Just curious, has anyone seen differences in quadrant standard or any other tool after installing Apex 1.3.1?

Also, are there known problems when using Ultra Low Voltage with 1.25GHz overclock?

before apex mine was 1200+ after apex 1400+ overclocked its between 1600and 1700+

and i just use low voltage, not ultra low

It's Andrew Xie (bigxie) on Twitter


So, I'm going to be starting on the Blur restoring menu of the Toolbox in a bit. What are some common apps people like to restore from the removedapps archive?

The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are like the hotspot app, status updating widget, and weather widget. Any others you want included?


P.S. here's a little preview of how the toolbox interface is going to look like:

Sorry guys, that's a little beyond the scope of my programming skills ;)

I can do that manually, but I don't know of a clever way to implement it methodically through a script.

But, I've finished the majority of the script. The remaining features to be implemented (Blur Restoration, Services.jar tweaks, Goodies, and Links), I can finish tomorrow night. So I expect there to be a test release either Friday night or Saturday afternoon, if everything goes according to plan :D

Good night!
