[ROM] ApeX 1.0.2.x for Droid 2 (12/7/10)
Special thanks to rob0rz for initially porting my DX ROM to the D2 and inspiring me to complete it
ApeX V1.0.2.5 for Droid 2 - 2 parts AOSP, 1 part Blur, all ApeX
*If you watch the video below, please just skip to 1:00, and ignore my blabbering about requiring a leaked kernel. That is no longer true for the DX, and was never true for the D2. Thanks!*

Screenshots
Scripts: Use in terminal emulator or through adb. For installation, removal, and switching of apps. Run a script with nothing after it to get a help file on how to use. Ignore the dashes, they are ghetto bullet points. These all require superuser elevation (type su first).
Remove/Restore Scripts:
-calc
-dxeye
-genie
-launcher
-office
-tether
Switch Apps:
-alarm
-carhome
-email
-gallery
-messaging
Install/Remove system apps: (warning, these are very powerful! Use with caution)
*Place desired file on /sdcard
-install
-uninstall
Miscellaneous:
-adblock
-cpuinfo
-sound
-sys
-zipalign_apks
Overclocking:
-overclock
Comes with 4 profiles by default, you can also load your own setscaling.sh from your sdcard.
Installation Instructions: Please have a nandroid of your current setup in case this is not for you
-Place file on sdcard. Install ROM from sdcard in ROM manager. Wipe data and cache.
OR
-Place file on your sdcard. Bootstrap recovery and reboot recovery
-Navigate to mounts and storage. FORMAT data, and cache
-Return to previous menu and install .zip from sd card

QUIRKS
-The Blur Email app (default email app) will FC if you do not have an account added through My Accounts. Just add an account first.
-If you're using another launcher besides ADW, do not use the 'Search' widget. That's for ADW only. It'll get stuck at the top of your screen if you use it on LauncherPro. Use the 'Google Search' widget instead.
-Swype is not preinstalled, but this ROM installs a folder called 'ApeX' on your sdcard, where there will be a working version of Swype for you to install, if you so choose
Download Link:
Hotfix for all versions - Quick Office now will preview Gmail attachments and adds a 'Reboot' option to the shutdown menu.

Extras:
my personal ADW.Launcher config file
-If you want to try out my settings, right click the link, save as, and save that file to your sdcard. Then, in ADW, go to backup/restore, and restore configuration.
adw_settings.xml
Apps removed from 2.3.320
-You can reinstall Blur apps from this archive by placing the desired .apk files on your sd card and then using the install script!
