[ROM] ApeX for Droid X - An AOSP Experience

[C21johnson]

Flashed ApeX over Fission last night, and I must admit, so far it's running great. I've had a few random force closes, but a second try and it usually went through.

The ROM has great response, speed, and battery life. Thanks and keep up the support Fab.

Fab, i'm running apex and nextheme. The messaging app doesn't sync contact photos. Can't figure out how to set it to do that. None of the contacts in the messaging app have any photos. Any suggestions?

Fab or anyone else, can you confirm that HDMI out from the gallery works with this rom? I'm running fission and it currently does not...

 

[Syco54645]

Fab provided the default swype apk as well as the scripts to get it on there....

Simply take the default swype.apk from his second post, put it on your SD card, open up terminal emulator:

su
install swype.apk

To the guys talking about battery, its no surprise it changed... your entire statistics data was wiped during rom install.

I can't tell you how many times I have tried this and had it not work...

Fab, I'm having trouble switching to the 3d gallery using your explained method. It gives an error about the file not existing.

Perhaps just a bug with my setup, just thought I'd mention it as a possible bug.

I'm pretty sure that the MMS app takes photos from your Google account only, so if you're contact pictures are all from using Blur to sync Facebook, they won't show up.

My workaround is using SyncMyPix

I don't have the cable to test it, but I've had reports that it does work.

The only reason I could see that happening is if you deleted the Gallery3DGoogle.bak file.

SyncMyPix isn't working for me. If you could find a direct fix for this issue it would really be appreciated. This rom would be flawless with that problem fixed.

Well, just installed Apex and NexTheme, oc'd to 1.15ghz @ ULV, and i'm loving it. HDMI is working, theme looks great...Props to Fab! Can i make a donation?

ok, lets try it manually... if you have adb installed, plug phone in, wait for everything to connect (make sure you're in pc mode), then:

1) put swype.apk into the base directory of your harddrive (for simplicity), i.e. c:\swype.apk
2) open up command prompt
3) adb shell
4) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
5) mv /system/app/Swype.apk /system/app/Swype.bak
6) mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system
7) exit (you should now be out of ADB, but still in command prompt)
9) adb push C:\Swype.apk /system/app/Swype.apk

let me know if it works...

REVOlution is now available in the 1st post. There are alternate battery icons as well, but do not install them until after you've installed the theme. I also added links to the NexTheme, REVOlution, and stock fonts.

here's a fix for getting contact photos onto the messaging app

its run on PC, not on your phone, and it will sync your facebook contact photos with your gmail contact photos....

after that, the messaging app will sync those contact photos from gmail to your phone

you'll need to run it on your PC anytime you want the messaging contact photos to be updated...

note: you need net framework 3.5 at least

props go to Koush for writing this handy PC app

to install nextheme, all i need to do is go to recovery and install from zip? and if i don't like it, what is the easiest way to get back to regular theme? nandroid?

Yep, just make a backup first and then apply the theme. If you don't like it, you can just restore your backup.

I hope there a patch to get the free tethering by google to work in 2.2 froyo.

Which apk contains the "Print to Retail" option for gallery?
