[ROM] [ROM] ApeX V1.4.1 for Droid X & Droid 2 - Refinement and Ease of Use (2/22/2011)

[miketoasty]

I am confused but is this a beta or final?

This is a final release.

FAB PLEASE HELP ME!

So when I tried to fix permissions in J Rummy's overclock app, my phone rebooted and went into boot loop. When I plug phone into charger, I get a battery icon with a question mark. When I hold the power button it sends me into bootloop again. I'm able to access stock recovery and have wiped both data and cache with no help. When booting into bootloader, it will not program due to not enough battery. How do I charge my battery so that I may flash SBF? Please help!!!

I REALLY NEED HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME AND DO NOT IGNORE THIS POST! RIGHT NOW, DEALING WITH A BRICK THAT WON'T BE PROGRAMMED!!!!

As others have said you need to find another Droid X or do the battery hack. Next time also make sure you have sufficient battery before making changes to sensitive items.


On a side not used the services.jar patch on my Droid 2 and speeds are 1/3 better! (Went from 1.8Mb down to 2.8Mb!)

Just an fyi, I hate you. When I first started using the throttle hack, I went from 500kb/s downloads to 2mb/s + downloads. Lately I'm around 500kb/s no matter what I do. Stupid congested metropolitan area of Washington DC.

I need to move. I'll do it too, just for faster downloads, I'll pick up my whole family and move somewhere new.

Edit: Looks to just be the test servers in my area. I tried hitting up the NC test server over 300 miles away, and I got 1.8mb/s. I guess I can be satisfied with that...

For some reason when I try to calibrate my quickclock on 1.4.0 it just keeps testing at lower and lower voltages and never gets to the low stress point. I'm talking like -160 vsel before I stop it, anyone wanna try and speculate? Btw, I love the rom, the transitions, and the toolbox. Thanks Fabolous for apeX!

Check out the thread on this app at XDA, i believe...this was a pretty common bug.

Wow, now that is interesting. i just hit the DC server from raleigh and it returned .05 mb/s twice and then crashed three times.

edit: DC and atlanta servers are both giving me trouble using the FCC app, speedtest.net seems to work fine though.

I have uploaded an update to the Toolbox. It adds a new feature, and some error checking for services.jar tweaks (so you don't hose your phone!)

Thank you sooooo much Fabolous, I got my phone SBF'ed, reinstalled ApeX 1.4, applied the update to the toolbox, and things are great. I was able to use the services.jar tweeks and no brick! Thank you for the amazingly fast support. I get paid on Thursday, the beers shall flowith for you that day good sir!

Fab - just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your time and energy in ApeX 1.4, some beer money will be coming your way this week once I get paid.

I just wanted to let you and the forum know of something I found in the apextoolbox. I had removed the clock first and then went back in after reboot and removed data throttling. When my DX reboot, the clock had been added back to the notification bar. Not sure if I was suppose to remove data throttling and then remove the clock, but just wanted to bring it to your attention and the forums. Do you think once I went back and removed the clock again, the data throttling wipe was put back into place?

Thanks again!!!!

I believe what you want is the 'Both' option where it removes both

Great ROM Fab! I installed it last night but, I had an issue with email. Couldn't see my corporate email or other gmail accounts for that matter. I'm sure there is a fix for this but I'm still very new at this. Had to go back to 1.3.1 which is still a sick ROM. If there is stuff on your wiki let me know so I can check it out. Thank you again Bro. Good morning to all my fellow Rooted DXers...

You will need to reinstall the stock (blur) messaging suite using the toolbox (under customize apps).

Great ROM Fab! This is my 3rd or 4th version. I try others, but this has been my day to day ROM. Beer coming your way!

Please Keep Apex Going!

Correct, I did want both to be removed, but first wanted to do some more research on removal of data throttling (if I actually needed it and any consequences removal caused). Figured I would bring up my small issue incase anyone else asked further down the road. Again, thanks for your help Fab and the rest of the community, I have learned so much in the 2+ months of owning my DX

For Droid X users, you must be on system 2.3.340 already.

How can i get my DX up to this spec?

I have been running Fab's Apex RC2 from a while ago and never thought it needed to be updated until now.

Little help please?

 

[jrummy16]

If anyone cares, I combined my install-recovery.sh file from /system/etc/ to include the bootup settings that jrummy's overclock app sets with the new cron settings from the updated toolbox.

Everything looks to be running good.

On that note, I answered my previous question.

If you install the cron job tweak that fab added to the toolbox, you loose your overclocking on boot settings. If you then go add your overclocking on boot settings via jrummy's app, you lose the cron job settings.

Therefore, I made copies of each install-recovery.sh file and took the parts needed for both aspects and combined them together into my new "super" install-recovery.sh file.

If anyone needs help with this, I'll be glad to assist. My only fear is that further tweaking in the oc app will require this to be done again. Not terrible, just a bit of a pain..

Does anyone know if an install-recovery script file can do a sort of "include" so that it could just load settings from another script? If so, maybe that could be the new route for apps to use. Just append to the script to include external config files.

Haven't looked at the details of what you guys are talking about but if you go into Droid Overclock and check the android service boot then it will not use install-recovery.sh

2.3.340 is the System Version. If you haven't done so already, just upgrade your phone by looking for a System Update > About Phone > Settings.

Or, you can go to http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-rooted-help/112152-maderstcok-ota-2-3-340-update-zip.html and follow Maderstock's tutorial which I followed after SBF'ng back to 2.3.320. Very easy.

If I remember correctly, there was an issue with ADW EX themes???? Is that still the case or was it ever??? I'd like to look for some new themes and don't want to do something to negatively impact my setup
