Does anyone have any info on the brightness glitch that I mentioned previously? This is draining the heck out of both my battery and my patience. Every time I lock and unlock the phone again, the screen brightness resorts to over 50%. The brightness setting in the display options does not reflect this at all, but if I then attempt to set the brightness to 50%, the screen actually DIMS.
This is destroying my battery life. If it helps, I installed the nexTheme that was developed for Apex. Any ideas?

I use power control plus widget.....what i set it on is what it stays on regardless ...not to mention there are a bunch of other controls to add through this as well
I previously used Corporate Sync on the stock Rom but now with Apex I have a new option for adding an account simply called "Corporate"
I can set up my exchange email under the "Corporate" option but when I try to use "Corporate Sync" I get an error saying "cannot connect to server"
Do I no longer have the option of using the original "Corporate Sync"? Maybe I making an error in how I set up the account?
If anybody has any suggestions or input I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Mike

Sorry, but this thread has become tl;dr for me. Is there a way to replace the TranQ launcher with LPP? I'd like to put my 1.99 to good use. I can't find anything that replaces that, and thank you in advance.

Ok after getting tired of constant reboots (6-10 a day) and not able to correct voltages (I was getting really high on all 4 settings) I just removed overclock. After I did that I still had another reboot before bed. I am getting extremely frustrated with this phone! It is making me never want another MOTO phone again unless they don't lock the bootloader so I can get an actual vanilla ROM on it without any of MOTOs screw ups.

This is working, brand new...but seems solid so far.

HomeSwitcher also works even though it says it doesn't on 2.2 in the description.

Are people really having troubles with LPP?
All you need to do is install it from the market, hit the home key, and it'll prompt you which launcher you want to use. Select LauncherPro, check the make default, and voila, that's all.
There's no need to remove TranQ launcher, get a 3rd party app to switch launchers, or anything, at least not for the very basic task of just using LPP as the default launcher.

Can someone help me out here? I am new to overclocking. I just installed SetCPU ontop of a fresh ApeX and man is it intimidating!
I tried searching for SetCPU help in this thread and there isn't much that I understand.
Many thanks!
Also, I am sure this has been discussed, but I hate the black SWYPE keyboard and black search box in the market when selected...how do I revert it to plain Swype?

I have and it is just like anything else that frees memory. It's worthless. Get out a stop watch and check it yourself. Everyone that says they work always says "it seems" "I feel" how about really checking it ? All it 's going to do is try to reload apps and then you kill them off and then it tries to reload and then you kill ....over and over. Free memory does not equal usable cache memory its really that simple.
Give me some hard numbers, until then I'm inclined to believe the makers of the OS and the tons of official documentation that says otherwise.
Unless you're some how telling the OS to act differently then the only way i can see it working is if you kill a poorly coded app that is eating CPU cycles
I'll tell you what though I will install it and use your settings (please send them to me) and you uninstall it or better yet have someone uninstall it when you're not looking
deal?

It does not just kill random apps, it kills the ones that have been sitting idle longest, not being used, and that are least important at the time. All you're really doing is raising the level at which the system starts to free up memory. HERE is a good description of how it works.
I've tried it with and without the AutoKiller and my phone is definitely better with it. There are not improvements with overall performance but it keep my phone from getting sluggish when the available memory used to drop down below 70 or so.
Tried this for a few days with the Revolution theme and LPP. First few days had normal battery life then all of a sudden it went to crap. Wouldn't even last a day. Said that LPP was using like 44% or 49% of the battery (can't remember exact number). Just confused me. Love the ROM and the Theme but can't sacrifice battery. Any ideas?

I'll uninstall it. I have mine set to Ultimate so lets try this experiment. If mine runs just fine without it, I'll admit it. But you better do the same if you notice an increase in performance.

On a related note, JRummy's Overclock app includes a task killer called Free Memory that offers four ram options: 25mb, 50mb, 75mb and 100mb. Has anyone experimented with this? I don't use Task Killer but wouldn't mind giving Free Memory a try.

I started getting random reboots as well about three days ago, can't really blame Apex since I'm running it since release day and never had problems before... it's really sucks. Tried to turn off overclock and still getting about 4-5 reboots a day
I know how it works and I'll say this again if the system needed the memory it would have ended one of those app on it's own. (it doesn't need a third app to help it out) I'll also say this again free memory does not = added cache memory. If something isn't allocating it it isn't being used. THIS IS NOT A WINDOWS PC.
If your phone is "definitely" better then
1.You should be able to measure the difference.
2. You should find the bad app and remove it.
Fair enough
It's installed
but My phone is already fast I don't think it can get faster

I do not have a bad app, when my available memory gets down to around 70MB my phone starts to slow down so I have AutoKiller set to kick in at around 80MB rather than the 50MB range where the system would start killing the same idle, unused, unimportant apps.
Then what's causing the slow down? What actually slows down? Can you actually measure the difference? Why does your phone slow down at 70 when mine runs fine with only 50m or less? And more importantly what does the system do when you free up that memory? (that's a trick questions
)There isn't a single shred of evidence or documentation that confirms that freeing memory, before it's needed, does anything good for your phones performance. If there is please point me to it.
When and if the system needs the memory from those " idle, unused, unimportant apps" It will free them/it itself. Why do you think it needs help doing it?
Listen if it makes you feel good then go for it ( I don't want to argue with you Air I like you xxoo
) but to me these things are a unneeded apps that take up memory and battery power for nothing.I have installed it though and will let you know what I think in a day or two.

I decided to just SBF again to start fresh, so now I'm on a fresh OTA 2.2, Apex v1.0 with Revolution theme, and running LPP with no problems at all. I'm running the default 1.1ghz overclock and it's just as stable as stock but noticeably quicker.
In my opinion, if you set this up right it should run flawlessly. I've never been to keen on installing roms over another rom due to the possibility of conflicting coding.
Edit: I should add that I consistently get quadrant scores in the upper 1400's.
Edit again: just ran some more quadrant tests, it keeps getting better: 1565, 1526, 1581, 1552.
