[ROM] ApeX 1.3.1 for Droid X - Running, running, as fast as it can (12/16/10)

It would seem my app drawer has disappeared. I can't figure out how or why. Other than that, this rom is very fast, snappy, and visually appealing.
 
Scotty,

Thanks for all the info. I'm gonna attempt to do this tomorrow... so thanks to everyone for all the info and help.

Because you can swipe up on the hotseats to reveal another dock underneath. Just swipe down on the empty space to bring the app drawer back.

This is a feature of ADW launcher.

What happened to all my contact pictures and numbers?

Hopefully you had them synced with Google so when you sign in, they repopulate.

Otherwise, you'll need to restore your previous nandroid and get your contacts synced or use backup assistant to export them to sd card.
 
When I load the Alternate Battery For Revolution from Rom manager and apply it, it works, but it changes all the menus when I push the menu button, back to the original white, vice the black. Hope that makes sense. I cannot find a battery icon with a 10% scaling I like. They all go by 20% wth is that? It looks like the alternate battery goes by 20% but the Gingerbread Theme, or which ever theme that has the dark menus is very nice.

I dont see why changing the battery icon also changes the menu colors. Would be nice to keep the dark menus and the alternate battery. Really I just need a battery icon that goes by 10%

the battery icons are part of the framework apk. unfortunately, the only way to change something inside the framework resources apk is to change out the entire framework resources apk for one that has the change you want. the unfortunate side affect is that the new one might come with other changes as well.

if you find 10% battery icons you like, let me know and I'll build a custom framework for you that will include the black menu

Awesome ROM

Fabolous,

Beautiful ROM. Customizations for how much Blur you want via the scripts are a great touch. Battery life (for those of you asking) is amazing so far. Was previously running Rubix blurry 1.6.3 and had to switch as my battery was lasting only 5-6 hours with moderate use. Yesterday was the first full day with Apex after sbf and pulling the new update. I am at 70% remaining, about 18 hrs after charging (admitedly light use yesterday, but still). Nothing but positives so far. Running ULV 1.2 Ghz.

Only thing that I would like to see in the future are dark themed blur widgets similar to the theme done by bgill55 a while back for Rubix blurry, as well as additional dark widgets (gmail, fb)...

Thanks!!! Donation en route. dancedroid

I've reinstalled the NewsWidget, but can't get any actual feeds to come through. Is there a supporting apk that needs to be installed?
 
I just wanted to stop in and say thank you for this rom.

I was using rubix for a while, and tested out some others.

I don't know how you read my mind, but this rom has exactly everything I was looking for in a custom rom. There is just the right amount of blur.

Some people don't agree, but I think moto did a good job on several parts of the phone, and I'm glad that I can use this rom and still use those parts in a stable super fast environment.

Thank you Fabolous!

I was able to change the battery icons with metamorph without affecting the menus. The icon I used though only had icons every 20%. So I would get a 100% icon of the icon pack I loaded, then 90% goes back to previous icon, then 80% is the new, etc. I am sure you know this, just making sure we on the same page.

So it looked like the alternate battery for revolution goes by 20%, or at least is missing enough icons to match the icon pack I loaded. But the alternate battery .zip wipes everything out in notification bar and menus, even the Remove clock rom from Fab, and any metamorph changes. That was a shocker. Taught me the valuable lesson of making a backup so I wouldn't have to redo all the changes I had made. But of course my last back-up was from days ago so I had to redo.

I don't feel its worth your time to do that, just for a single icon change. I am thinking I can just change what I am looking for. There doesn't seem to be a Round Blue Glowing 10% incriment Battery icon. So I found just a standard Blue Glowing and am money now.

Thanks though. If you or anyone know of a good 10% Round, Blue, Glowing battery icon please throw it my way.

And stay away from the Transparent notification bar with metamorph. I tried three times to load it and had to restore both times. If you could do a transparent notification bar I might be down for that. Its not something I have seen much of.
 
Draken if you use the app Lookout and made backups you can recover all your contacts.

Is there a way to sync the photos from Facebook of just your existing contacts? This use to be an option but I didn't have the option if I add my Facebook account now.
