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

I don't know if this has been answered, I read the thread and did not see an answer. I have the super awesome boot animation but no sound. I flashed over 1.3.1 with no wipe. How do I get the THX sound?

Also, is there a way to get the circle battery icon back that was in 1.3.1, I really liked it.

Fab, Thanks for an awesome ROM, I have been tempted to try others but have stayed with APEX, Beers on me soon

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 deleted that icon and am using the messaging app shortcut and it works great.

I don't know if anyone has experienced this, but I just connected my phone to my PC and the phone semi-rebooted; I got the apex boot animation, and all I could do was get the pop up to reboot or power off the phone. Anyone have this happen to them?

Just hooked mine up a couple different times and never had an issue bro... Hope you can figure out what it is...

I think this is something baked in to .340, lots of people including myself have had this problem even when bone stock.

Im not sure what causes this, but I get this issue even with Stock 2.2.1,, also with another ROMs (don't remember which ones exactly but I think it was TranQ and rubiX Blur) I get a soft Reboot when plugging the phone via USB to my computer

Do you happen to have a sdcard notification that is stored on the sdcard itself?

I think the cause is that the phone tries to play the tone, but it's on the sdcard, which is being mounted in usb storage, and the deadly cycle causes the reboot.

Try using a built in notification, or turning off sd card notifications altogether.

All i did was download the ApeX 1.4.0 Boot Animation.zip, went threw bootstapper, unziped the file and rebooted the phone and the sound and animation worked. By the way im going to have fun booting my phone up now in public! Thanks!

p.s. i also went into phone files and deleted the Liberty file just in case it was something in that file thats making the sound stop? just a heads up.

Do you remember where those liberty files are located? I want to do the same since I'm coming from Liberty 1.5.

For those of you having battery drain issues a wiping of batt stats may be in order...only do this once battery is charged to 100% !.....preferably in the morning after your x has been charging all night
Boot into clockwork recovery
scroll to advanced
Wipe batt stats
Reboot
....this has helped me in the past so give it a shot

Will certainly give it a shot! Thanks for the thought and will give a shout back once she is done and the day has passed.

When you Wipe batt stats, is there supposed to be a status or progress statment (like, "batt stats wiped", etc.)?

Short version:

Loaded 1.4 over 1.4rc2 which was over 1.3.1 which was over 1.2.

Gmail no longer sync'd.

Delete data in settings>applications. No good.

So, what finally worked is going into ClockworkMod Recovery, doing a data wipe Factory reset, then installing 1.4 afresh.

It worked fine.

Moral to the story: You gotta start afresh sometimes. It's kinda like taking out the garbage, y'know? :p
