not sure if this has been brought up, but i tried using the script to change to the black moto keyboard and now i seem to be in a boot loop, but not one like i've had before. it never makes it to the boot animation. the boot logo comes up then goes away, then comes back, etc. i restored a backup, but any idea what might cause this?

When a new OTA update comes out:
-If you want that update (you probably will), you have to restore back to stock conditions. Easiest way is to restore a nandroid backup that you took before installing apex. You did do that right

I'd just add that, assuming you're on .340 proper (baseband, kernel, etc. all updated) a .340 system-only SBF would also do the trick.

I can't stress enough how much I've loved using Titanium backup. It can get screwy if you restore system data (not titaniums fault, it's just a bad idea) I use it to backup and restore app data for downloaded apps (angry birds score/stats, etc...)

Agreed. I use TB for backing up ONLY user apps with a daily batch job. I NEVER BACKUP SYSTEM APPS as that can always lead to unexpected issues if you restore everything.

I seem to be having some issues with Gmail. Here's what I did:

-Installed Apex 1.3, but didn't realize I did not have the .340 OTA kernel update. Phone actually worked fine until I tried to take some pictures with the camera and the pictures were not saving properly (were corrupted and could not view them).
-Restored a nandroid back to stock 2.2 rooted.
-Did the OTA update.
-For whatever reason, after the update, I could not go into recovery through Bootstrap. I would hit the "Bootstrap Recovery", got the success! notification, but when I hit "Reboot Recovery", nothing happened.
-Went into stock recovery. My friend was playing with it and when we rebooted the phone, it went into recovery. No idea how that happened, but I'll call myself lucky.
-Installed 1.3 Apex and a compatible theme. I did not wipe data or cache because the nandroid had a basically clean 2.2 version with some apps that got loaded on from my SD.
-Everything great, camera works, but Gmail will not sync. It synced last night, when all of this was done, but this morning, there's the sync icon on the notification bar. I've tried rebooting, uninstalling updates, wiping data, and it just will not sync.

Correction, it actually does sync, it just synced some new emails, but I just had a friend email me again and it didn't pick that one up right away and the sync icon is still up there. So I'm guessing it just takes forever and a half to sync.

did you try uninstalling and reinstalling gmail? i remember reading on one of the first couple pages something about an update that was released the same day the rom came out that was causing compatibility issues or something.

regarding the bootstrapper, i've found in my experience that uninstalling and reinstalling usally works. if you have rom manager, i'd suggest doing the same and make sure you remember to flash clockwork recovery again

and how do we uninstall and reinstall gmail?

[cassull]

Bootstrap actually started working fine after I flashed to Apex 1.3.

And I have reinstalling Gmail, no luck so far.

Are you using an overclocking app of any sort? I've had some random anr irreplicable issues with jrummys app in 1.3. Maybe unrelated. The one time I had what yo described happen was caused by an app update that didn't agree with my phone. Think about any updates you may have done recently.

nothing really in the past day or so. i do have jrummy's app. now that i am thinking about it, i had tried using ultra low voltage 1ghz (not set at boot, though), so maybe that caused it. i don't even mind the gingerbread keyboard, i was just curious what the other one looked like.

try going into settings/applications/manage applications/running/gmail...then clear data and cache.

 

[cassull]

I've also tried that. The clear cache option is greyed out, so I do clear data. The sync icon is still floating there :|

Terminal Emulator

sorry for the "dumb" question, but can someone please educate me on how to use terminal emulator to change the gallery, MMS app, and keyboard? Thanks in advance for your help.

open Terminal. type...

su

hit enter. (always start a new session in Terminal with the "su" command [no quotation marks])

type...

gallery

hit enter.

you will see your options listed. if you want the moto gallery, now type...

gallery -mot

syntax is important to making it work. I know from personal experience. so, there is a space after gallery. then the "-mot" with no space (and no quotation marks either).

For the keyboard, type...

keyboard

hit enter. your options will be listed. for example, if you want the white moto keyboard then...

keyboard -wmt

hit enter.

I believe the script for MMS is...

messaging

follow the same procedure.
