[ROM] ApeX 1.2 Series for Droid X - Functionality and Performance (12/7/10)

How do I disable the custom animations?

This is a great ROM - thanks for creating it! I love the right balance of blur and blurless.

My only gripe is the custom animations get distracting to me. Is there any way to disable them?

You're trying to get back to stock animations or just disable animations in general?

Settings->Display->Animations->Off

If you're trying to get stock animations, you'll need to rip the /anim folder from the stock framework and replace my /anim folder in ApeX.

the email switching script does not work.
when i do
email -mot
I get not such directory (or some similar type of error)
this is repeatable on 2 DX's
can't get it to switch back to the blur email client

I actually took the blur email files from an older .15 based rom and tried to restore them but had minimal success.
i still can't get rid of the asop email client, even though it was clearly renamed email.BAK
i saw nothing that said googleemail.apk or emailgoogle.apk or whatever.
so i am stumped.

either way, i do know that the script is not working correctly at this time.

on a side note, any way to switch email accounts with the asop client? i would keep it, but i can only seem to access 1 email account, no easy way to switch

If you've modified the Email.bak or BlurEmail.apk files that the ROM comes with, then the email scripts will not work. Also, keep in mind that I themed the Blur Email client to have the AOSP icon, so actually opening the app is the only way to check if the script worked or not.

Thanks for the heads-up on those two options. If I decide to replace the /anim folder in ApeX, I need to re-install the ROM, correct?

ah well that explains the icon thing.
here is the error on an untouched/unmodifed dx (as in i didn't make any changes other than to load the rom and then load the theme)
running apex 1.0.2.2 with the revolution theme

not necessarily. If you have some adb knowledge, all you have to do is modify the framework-res.apk, and in adb:

adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

(assuming you have bootstrap recovery installed, since that autoelevates shell to root)

That's ok, don't worry about those errors. It's because the ROM comes with the Blur email by default, so all the files the script is trying to move around don't exist.

The Email app that you now have will be the right one (Blur).

Just install a theme that doesn't keep the transitions. Both the Revo and Nextheme from V1.0 work fine and you won't have the flying animations. Crackman's Dark Theme works too and I'm sure others as well. You'll lose the battery percentages but you give a little to get a little. I personally love the transitions. Better than the Tranquility ones and they don't slow down the system at all.

Wow!!!!!

Fab! I just wanted to say that whatever you have done with this rom 1.2.1 with the Leak is WOW!!! Runs faster and smoother than 1.0. The intragration of the animations, Not over done like TranQ 3.5. I will be donating. Outstanding Job, you have a follower and I have a ROM that Works.

Thank You Fab!!!!

 

[ScottyDsntKnow]

Yes I am going to buy him a 6 pack as well. Or a 4 pack if he likes the good stuff haha. Have gone over a day now, no soft reboots, still fast as hell. Unbelievable how good this rom is and being able to manually add/remove blur via scripts is the icing on the cake.

Uninstall the updates to market and google search if your phone gives you the option. Then yeah just flash like any other rom. And make sure you use the 1.0.2 and not.the version for the leak.
