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

So far this is a very smooth ROM, the problems I'm having are 1st I cannot boot into clockwork recovery I've attempted to fix permissions. 2nd I deleted your included WiFi tether and installed the newest one but its not starting tether. Also koush's bootstrap won't boot into recovery. This is important to me because I cannot create a nandroid backup at this time. Will you be releasing a hotfix sometime in the near future

Sorry but it looks like the bootstrap problems are on your end. I installed this rom over a fresh .34 OTA, and have had no problems with getting into clockwork recovery. Wireless tether works as well.

Both of these require superuser access. One thing I can say is that you might not have the latest superuser binaries installed. Go to your appdrawer and look for superuser and open it, it should automatically make sure the binaries are up to date. Reboot your phone and try again. Both wireless tether and clockwork mod should have asked for superuser permissions the first time you opened them. If they didn't, that's your problem. Also try going into terminal emulator and typing su, and making sure it doesn't give you an error.

I never had any issues gaining SU permissions as I was able to use the TE and Fab's custom script to delete the wireless tether version that was included in the rom and install the newest version that was available for download. Also my SU version is 2.3.6 database version 5.

I was able to get Koush's Bootstrap working correctly after deleting the SD card clockwork mod folder and the app, reloading it and then loading the boots for the droid 2, then the milestone, then the droid X in that order. Never had to do that before but hey at least I was able to boot into recovery and make a nandroid.

Clockwork still doesn't work correctly but as long as I have one way to get into recovery then im ok with that.

BTW I also installed this ROM over a fresh OTA after using the 2.3.15 SBF to return to stock i never installed the leak so I was coming directly from .15 to .40
 
I'm too hungover to read all the support questions right now, I'll get to them in a couple of hours. For now, I have a goodie for you all.

A friend of mine gave me the new market apk, so if you guys want it, here it is:

http://fabdroid.com/goodies/Vending.apk

You can install it like any other app, if you want it on /data/

Otherwise, you can put it on your sdcard and install to system with:

su
install Vending.apk

Please answer only if you're positive of the answer. Fab, if you read this-i am on .15 and want to update. Having trouble updating OTA. Do I just install TBH system update then Apex 1.3? Then Revolution Blue? Or is there a better way?

Thank you very much to anyone that can help.

You have two options:

1 - SBF back to stock 2.2 (if you can get the file)

2 - Perform ALL the updates at http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html in Recovery (do not reboot between each step)

Gmail & Voice Search Market Updates

First off this is an awesome ROM!!

I just upgraded from a D1 yesterday, rooted and installed this before I even activated the phone with VZW.

I should have never waited this long to upgrade to the X!


Is it safe to do the Gmail & Voice Search updates in the Market or will that screen something up?

Thanks,

RichP

thanks for the answer, but i have a question for you. I made a backup of my original system when I did this, cant I just recover that when I go into the bootloader/recovery?
 
First Rom and loving it! Tried several themes, had issues with the keyboard fc on the older RevolutionBlu and the Nexolution. Think I am going to stick with the GB theme.

As stated previously it seems the icons in the status bar are to far apart. It seems to be the same across the board for the GB themes I have seen. I like the closeness/cartoonishness of the icons in the Revoblue theme but couldn't get the keyboard to work.

I love the GB keyboard!

As long as your backup is from after the OTA installed and before you installed ApeX, you should be fine. Just don't try to restore a 2.2-based backup.

just installed this with no problems and it works absolutely brilliant!


Only questions is I'd like to install the stock verizon wifi sharing app. What is the file name of that? I can't find it in the removed apps zip.

I got an android tablet that i connect to the internet through my phone with, however it doesn't pick up the wifi tether root app so i just use the verizon one with the free hack
