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

[devortex]

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

Good to know...Thanks

Edit: FYI, selecting that option in the overclock app deleted the install-recover.sh file from /system/etc/. So if anyone else goes the route, and wants the cron settings there still, you have to run it from apextoolbox again...

Just a quick thank you and great job. After the newness of my X wore off I found myself discouraged with a lot of the current ROMs. If I found on I liked, the camera sucked. If I found one with a good camera, the ROM wasn't up to snuff. You have accomplished both. I wish we could beat the bootloader and really see the potential of these Droid X's. Someday.

Any reason for the camera button to not work? Came from liberty back to 1.4. Everything works great. Just noticed physical camera button not responding

I just double checked mine and it worked OK. It vibrated and delayed a second or two but otherwise fine.

 

[Scallywag1]

Mine doesn't react. I know it works in theory bc I've been into recovery and all and ive used it to select options....
Weird

For the people who want the circular battery with %, this might be a solution. Some folks at Androidforum have been hard at work coming up with couple of solutions. I hope I do not get crucified for posting a link to another forum, but it is for the benefit of all... Again, if it is not allowed, I do apologize and I or mod can remove it.

Excellent ROM (as always), Fab! The new Liberty lured me away for a week or two, but that little touch of blur brought me back home to Apex. Beer money coming your way this weekend.

One little thing though - how can I get my gmail account into my blur universal inbox? It was there before.

TIA.

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

No issues here....and i HIGHLY recommend the Tron Legacy theme by Mariux!

Is there a way to edit the copy in the pulldown menu? The Liberty toolbox can do it, but I don't see a way to do it in Apex.

I wasn't happy about how big the "Gingerbread Keyboard" was, because the whole point of it was not the colors, but the size and spacing of the Keys, so below, in this file there are 3 different GB Keyboards:

Biggest: Stock ApeX 1.4.0 Keyboard
Midsized: I believe it came from Droid Life, but not sure?
Smaller: GB Keyboard from ApeX 1.3.1/1.3.0

Here you can see the difference:



Install instructions:

*Unzip, choose what keyboard you want and take the "LatinIME.apk" file out of the folder and put it on the root of your sd card

In terminal,

su
apextoolbox
2
i
LatinIME.apk


There you go!
(P.S.- I take no responsibility for your mess up's. I've tested all 3. )

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?

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.

I did not think I could accept the update with it a problem.

Like I said, once I got apex rc2 I was happy. So I never came back here lol

Just installed from 1.3.1 without wiping data or cache via ROM Manager (because my camera button doesn't work so i cant navigate through the Bootstrap)

there is no gallery, text messaging or email app. i'm going to see if i can turn them on through the terminal and toolbox but if anyone can help it would be appreciated

p.s. the apps show up on my home screen from where they were before i updated, but they don't have an icon and they aren't selectable

*edit* i just went into the toolbox and turned the apps on

 

[wardy22]

also, just wondering if there's anyway to sync contact pictures with the aosp text messaging app?

 

[kirbnite]

Sync contact pictures from where? Facebook? Add into accounts under settings.
