[ROM] ApeX V2.0.0 Release Candidate (RC2) (6/11/2011)

Finally, the sexy is back! (Apex, not Fab, sorry...) Now, the only thing that would hold me back from trying this is the battery icons...any chance of getting incremental icons? It used to be an option in froyo apex through the toolbox, using someone's custom framework iirc.
 
getting Swype working on Apex 2.0 RC1
ok, now that i have your attention :) I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone...make a backup before doing this.

download one of the .596 files from mydroidworld, (i used the deodexed stock rooted but all should work)
unzip it
look in the system/app folder for Swype.apk and copy it to your SD card.
look in the system/lib folder for libSwypeCore.so and copy it to your SD card.
using Root Explorer, copy the Swype.apk from your SD card
navigate to system/app and mount the system R/w
paste Swype.apk there
find the swype.apk, and longpress on it. choose permissions, and make permissions rw-r-r (just like all the other system apps

find the libswypecore.so file on the SD and copy it
navigate to system/lib folder and paste
again, longpress and change permissions to what you did previously
Reboot
go to a text field, and longpress,
select input method
choose swype.
enjoy.

due to Swype policies i cannot post the swype.apk here or anywhere else. so that is the only way to do it.
if you have questions, please dont hesitate to ask me
 
im currently running Apex 2.0.0 beta (591)
Do i need to SBF back to 340 and then install the latest or can i wipe and update to 596?

EDIT: nvm, i sbf'd to 340, and updated from there

Is there a reason why Swype isn't included in the ROM? It's allowed, as long as the device originally ships with Swype, which the DX does. Does Fab just not like it or something? (I'm not using it anymore, I got FlexT9 from the Amazon appstore when it was free and i'm lovin it right now, but still.)
 
Does this release of Apex include music controls on the lockscreen?

Also, are there any parts that are left unthemed? Keyboard themed with the stock GB look?

Can't wait for this to be final! Love APEX!
 
Soo ....if I download the file, wipe,install over 596 or liberty....will I have problems? Also im skipping accounts and then....huh? Sounds like alot of prerequisites ....please help a dumb ass.

loving the ROM Fab! I saw on your twiter that u fixed the 3g icon on the REV theme...i redownloaded the file, but i still get the green 3g icon during certain time for a split of a sec....very weird...

After following all of the above steps can I do an advance restore data from my stock 596 backup?
