Need a few adventurous souls to test ApeX 1.3.1

[Fabolous]

I'm trying to port the newest version of Apex to the D2. This is built off the official 2.2.1 OTA update for the DX, and is Gingerbread themed. You can get some more info at this thread:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/fa...id-x-running-running-fast-can-12-16-10-a.html


So my previous port (1.0.2.5) made use of the D2 2.3.20 system as a base, and I just added in the Apex goodies. That worked fine and dandy, but I saw that kejar31 posted this following method to porting a DX ROM to a D2 ROM:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106907-attn-devs-porting-your-rom-d2-made-easy.html


So I gave that a try, and this here is the result. So if there are a few brave souls who'd like to flash this and give me some feedback, that'd be great. I'd really like to know the following:

1. Does the dialer and contacts app work (I had to swap in D2 versions of these apps in my previous port)

2. Does it behave properly with the D2 hard keyboard (I'm pretty sure it will, because those files are part of kejar31's file)

3. Does the screen shut off properly? (I remember this being an issue when I first ported Apex without using the D2 system)

4. Does the overclock script work? (this uses a new module made for the DX's new kernel, but I think it should work with the D2 also)

5. Any other issues that arise



While I'm pretty sure this will boot, please know how to, and be able to SBF your phone if something goes wrong!

-Please wipe data and cache to ensure a clean installation.

I'm in. Will report back with any bugs or issues.

so far the hard keyboard seems to be working fine, but the overclock script isn't working. The terminal emulator says that busybox isn't found

phone or pc? if ur talking about the pc, then its not a bug, you need to disable it...its been awhile since i did it but its an icon in your icon tray right click then it should say something like "connect" or somethin, click that then it should say something like "load page" and "do nothing"

I just came across this thread fab. You know Im down to flash your work
* I also want to see if social networks worked for you using kejars update.zip. I used it on a few different roms and they were perfec, but no social networking. I know he built his rom blurless so...
**Love it! Love that you left some blur, love the gingerbread, and no bugs yet!...Great work Fab!

Thanks ultima, I'm an idiot, yeah it was from motoconnect on my pc icon tray. Is anyone else getting the overclocking scripts to run? I'm still having issues

What error are you getting when running oc script? I get "DX oc is not meant for this device".

So this is ok to flash?

Absolutely! Its perfect. I cant find anything wrong, other than the oc script. But I never use them anyway. This rom is perfect if your looking for aosp, with a little blur I have the transitions set to fast and its very snappy and smooth. And the gingerbread theme makes you forget your running a rom with blur.
