Root [ROM][DROIDX] ApeX 2.0.0 Release Candidate (RC4) (10/9/2011)

How can I get the older Market back? I've tried installing the vending.apk file that I've used previously and it just causes the Market to FC afterward. I've also moved the file into system/app and changed permissions but that doesn't work either.

Edit: I pulled the vending.apk file from Gapps and moved it into system/app, changed permissions and it works fine.

I'm on RevNumber's unofficial CM4DX on the GB kernel ( yes the GB kernel has a working 2nd init due to the great work of CVPCS)(596 or 602) and I need to know if I need to flashback to my stock. 602 nandroid first and then install this or if I can go right over the top of the CM ROM.


Just wipe data and cache. The script in ApeX will format system. Just make sure you are on the .13p radio.

Hey Fab, awesome work on the new ROM and the updater. Thank you very much. I only have a couple questions for now.
-Are contacts supposed to sync with facebook pictures, and if so how do I make that happen? I've looked all through my phone (i've synced contacts with facebook through the app, so now i have all fb info and phone numbers) but I can't get the pics to sync. No real biggie, i just know that it used to work a long time ago.
-also, when I try to change the static wallpaper to one of your other static wallpapers, nothing happens. If I change it to a live wallpaper and then try to change to a different static wallpaper, it changes it to the one of the matterhorn.

***update for point #1,
I started looking more into contacts settings and this is what I'm seeing, although I don't have an easy way to fix it.
--most contacts now sync with facebook pictures, however, the ones that were making me think that pics weren't syncing have somehow stored a different picture(usually an old fb pic) as the contacts pic. if you scroll to facebook info in the edit contacts of each person, you can then touch the fb pic and it will allow you to "use this picture". but you have to do it individually for all that this seems to effect. Is there any faster way of doing this?

donation coming tomorrow after I get paid

This question was asked above but I didn't see an answer...

Is there a way to disable the slide to unlock and keep a pattern unlock?

I'll make a file to disable this tonight.

Have you used syncmypix in the past? I think the Google picture always takes priority (that's what syncmypix does, sets Facebook pics as Google pic), so if you did that earlier, it will still use the old FB pic synced previously, even if they have a newer pic.

Or you could just run syncmypix every now and then :)
