Fab I love you. you have personally saved me and the lives of all who cross my path i was on the verge of madness. I was starting to think it was Verizon and they where beaming that brainwashing mono tone voice saying "verizon wireless"
right to my phone. via CIA/NSA/MI6 spy satellite.

I was really starting feel like this banana. :icon_ banana:
as is well now I feel like this banana with at least under wear on

im not 100% positive on this but did you do factory reset from the phone or bootstrap because i think the only way to back to 2.2 ota is to turn phone off and the power hold holding the camera button or home button or some button to open the built in Motorola recovery and from there select factory reset or something like that again not 100% sure if thats how you go back a stock phone
I wouldn't try it with out some more confident and backed up info

Yea i held vol down, held home and power and did a factory reset. When done, didn't ask me to activate but did ask me what account to use and such for those app like gmail and such. I also tried held cam, home and swithc takes me the same place so theres actually two ways + bootstrap. LOL

I could be wrong - but I don't think I am. A factory reset is not going to restore your phone to stock ota 2.2. When you "flashed this rom" (can you tell I came from WinMo) you replaced the factory image with this custom image. So when you perform a reset/wipe data - all you are doing is restoring to the ApeX image.

To go back to 2.2 OTA you have to have your nandroid backup that you made before you flashed ApeX.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong bc I am new to android. This is how windows worked.

There is a partial 2.2 sbf. It was called a "system sbf". I would definitely do some research before using it. I will look for the link...

TBH announces Froyo System SBF and RSDLite 4.8

please do not use this just bc I pointed it out. I would hate for you to brick your phone. But here is some info to get you started if you are interested. I bet the OP would know if you could use this "system sbf" to restore to 2.2 ota state. Not sure how active the original thread is.

good luck.
 
Been using this ROM since early yesterday and I love it!! I really hope you continue to update this and make it even better!

Thanks Fab!

I really do believe that no one should be flashing there phones if they have not read though how to flash the sbf file. I know it sounds kinda scary at first but let me tell you its very simple you just have to read and follow the directions. It took me about 30minutes to do it the first time and the second time it was like flashing a rom. This will take you back to the 2.2 OTA its a partial sbf dump but that is all that is needed since we can not make changes to the bootloader at this time. So the only way to get back to factory at this point to the flash the sbf though the bootloader. Dont get it confused with the recovery.

Need to do anything special coming from Tranquil 2.3.8? and how does it rate vs tranq, Im sure there is people who came from it.
 
love this rom and things are just about as awesome as they can be for me now that i have the dark status bar running. the only other thing i'd like to put on here is the dark vanilla lock bar.
