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

Oh my EC!....that honeycomb theme is at the top of my list right now!....as for the themed icons...I would really like if you include them...for some reason im really picky about those things lol...

yeah me too. im actually gonna start using the launcher pro ones for now cause the green is bothering me so much... atleast until I can figure out how the hell to theme things right. it keeps coming out too blue for my liking.

Just wanna add none of that is required at all.

You can simply download one of the boot logos found in this thread. M Logo Replacement Area - Android Forums

Then place it on your sd card as logoreplacer. Then open up bootstrapper and flash the zip. Current im using the honeycomb bee, with the xoom honeycomb boot animation.

This stuff is too addicting!


what if we don't want any of that? as in i just want to get rid of the Liberty boot up icon. I don't want to replace it with anything.

biggest things left on my list left to figure out is to change the color of the browser progress bar (the bar that moves when a web site is loading)

If only it were as easy as replacing some pngs; I had a feeling it would require modifying some .xml files (only 1 xml actually ;)), and it does :eek:

I just did it and now my progress bar is blue :D

I tried to take a screenshot of it loading, but it won't capture it :mad:, but it's blue alright :D

I also went ahead and changed these to blue; this I could capture :D.

Editing an xml might be out of my league but if you could point me in the right direction ill give anything a shot!

can the browser progress bar blue and this picture just be put on the phone stand alone ? or is it part of the theme?:thinking:

You are going to have use APK Manager to decompile/recompile the framework-res.apk. I am using Fission, I mention this because faber and I couldn't get the ApeX framework to recompile properly (all other framework's I've tried decompile/recompile just fine, but this version of ApeX comes up with an error).

Unless Fabolous can tell you (us) why that error occurs or how to get around it, you won't be able to recompile ApeX's framework.

Should I not have installed 1.4.1 over top of 1.4? Because..... I changed the Gingerbread keyboard (terrible imo) to the AOSP/White Moto Keyboard, and it keeps freezing my phone after so many minutes. I honestly can't turn off the screen anymore or put it down and let it just idle because it will freeze it requiring me to take out the battery...


This is freaking ridiculous!

Got it figured out. Got the matching set of icons now.

Now all I need is to get the green gradient and I will be happy. It will probably take me some time but I will figure it out...


Have you figured this out yet?

I used NinjaMorph to edit system/app/BlurPhone.apk/res/drawable-hdpi-finger

Replace ic_tab_selected_contacts.png with:
doit2it-albums-stuff-picture3108-contact-icon-sel.png


Replace ic_tab_unselected_contacts.png with:
doit2it-albums-stuff-picture3109-contact-icon-unsel.png


Enjoy!
