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

[Redflea]

umm..
Can someone give me a heads up on what's going on this thread, I wanna try and understand and would like to have my input on this If i can or could.
Is everyone experiencing the same problems? Ppl on the Droid X and Droid 2? System Force Closes/Reboots....Or did the problem already get resolved?

_________________________________

This for them peeps who are on the earlier versions of apex, or already on the 1.4.1 that has flashed over 1.4.0 and are experiencing minor problems.....

I for one did try and flash 1.4.1 over 1.4.0
NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!

So now about an hour ago I,

-BOOTED INTO CLOCKWORK
-wiped data (factory reset)
-wiped cache..
-FLASHED MY STOCK ROM
-wiped data (factory reset)
-wiped cache..

I don't know why I did the second wipe but i did it for good measures...

-INSTALL FROM SDCARD
-Apex 1.4.1

..so far so good.. I just switched up the keyboard and flashed Revo and no FC's...
I'm setting up everything back up now, all my overclock profiles..

Fab! You should consider just telling everyone to do a clean flash of your rom, you should recommend it...=D

Well to recap everything that has happened, I posted a problem about system FCs on startup of 1.4.1 only on Droid 2 (droid x is unaffected by this) but we managed to narrow it down to the start up script and now some of us are beta testing a fixed version of the rom for the droid 2 only and so far no problems when the problem script is run after boot...

Good to hear, Brett.

Can you tell me what happens to any Toolbox customizations I've done in 1.4.0 (changed to moto cam/gallery, using motoemail) if I install 1.4.1 over the top of it? Are those customizations maintained?

Thanks. Love this ROM - got the moto email back (Yay - Search in email!), the speed is good, and the cool transitions are nice eye-candy.

Unfortunately, any customizations done to the system will be overwritten with the default so you will have to go back through and reconfigure the settings to get the customizations back.

Wong answer!! ;-)

Oh well...I guess I'll have to make sure I write down everything I do in the future.

Preserving customizations would seem to be a ripe area for future enhancement...when Apex provides so many nice customizations, maintaining them would be the icing on the cake.

Looking forward to an updated 1.4.1 so I can upgrade...

So when you say random rebooting, you mean you made absolutely no major changes from the last time you rebooted your phone? Also I no it might sound silly but usually with random problems, I've noticed that rebooting the phone yourself will fix it... But I guess too late now! Lol

As for the script I'm curious as well since I dont know either haha.

No. This is not a typo. There have been problems with 1.4.1 on the droid 2 so a group of us are testing out 1.4.1 but with a different startup script so it is currently going by the name of 1.4.2

Nope never had problems before

Sent from my DROID2 using DroidForums App

When installing 1.4.2 did you install ontop of your previous rom or did you do a complete wipe?

Well today it started again with my gmail not syncing properly again not happy with that but all in all loving this ROM

Sent from Kimo's Rooted Droid 2

Have you had problems before this on previous roms? And the first thing I would probably do is either, delete you gmail account and add it again, and if it is still doing it then uninstall gmail and reinstall it and hopefully that should fix it.

 

[jdog94]

I applied 142 on a clean wipe then flashed theme (bwc)
