Root [ROM] ApeX 1.3.1 for Droid X - Running, running, as fast as it can (12/16/10)

[pm1066]

The fix I posted above is a direct quote from Fab how to fix the hang on reboot if you haven't applied it yet.

Saw that, thanks. I'm more concerned about the unspecified user issues this fix introduces.

After I installed the apex rom with nexolution theme I now get double text messages. how can I fix this? I tried using the search maybe I'm not using the correct keywords? Thanks.

I haven't seen anyone (including myself) with strange issues since removing the startup script. Did I miss something?

I installed Apex 1.3.1 w/ gingerbread theme and when I check missed calls the time is cut off. It shows December 26 11:
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Flying_Hellfish, when you run the above startup script, do you get "Sorry read only file" or something like that?

Open the stock SMS app, disable notifications.

I cheated and moved it manually via root explorer. I know people a few pages back did have success using those commands.

Everything is working fine for except when I bring some menus in some apps the letters are white on a white background and it looks like this....

Anybody know how to fix this?

You may suffer from the same thing I did. Check your system/apps and make sure there arent two Messaging.apk's

I was getting 2 actual messages, not just double notifications

Has anyone tried out ADWLauncher EX that is on APEX 1.3.1? If so, can you give some feedback?

Open Terminal Emulator

Type in: su

Type in: messaging

It will output -aosp and -mot

Type in messaging -aosp for the open source alternative or

messaging -mot for stock

Should fix you right up.

I backed down to 1.3.0 because I had weird issues with 1.3.1.
I'm coming from .320 leak
1.3.0 = functional
1.3.1 1st flash = slowed performance issues
1.3.1 2nd flash (wipe / reset) = random freeze-ups
1.3.1 3rd flash (wipe/reset) = random freeze-ups
I'm not overclocking or modifying the voltage so I dunno what's up. But my 1.3.0 experience has been much better. Overall I'm still very happy with the ROM.

I did the same yesterday and like you I could not be happier with Fab's work. Nothing beats ApeX as far as I am concerned.

not sure if this has been discussed already, something I noticed with this ROM is that I lose 3G a lot, not sure if is my area or just my phone or a theme thing, I've tried with other ROMs or the stuck 2.2.1 and I don't have this problem , Other than that this ROM is the best there is . any ideas?

 

[pCarson92]

Any way to remove Backup Assistant?

I had that issue with the stock ROM. I haven't seen it with this one yet.

3G works fine for me. Sorry I can't offer more help.

Been running EX for a few days now and have no problems with ApeX 1.3.1. The new transitions are great and all my widgets are working fine.

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

There is a handcent update out that says it fixes some issues with the ApeX ROMs. Can anyone test and see if mms is fixed on wifi with the aosp messaging client?

the dialer crashes on me everytime i try to go to the actual dialer tab. recent, contacts, and favorites all work fine, but the dialer tab just causes an instant close. any ideas?

edit: replaced it with the old dialer from Apex 1.0. doesn't look as snazzy, but it does its job.

Im a bit foggy on how to set the different keyboards to be default. The GB keyboard is just a bit too small for me. I installed the improved version of the GB keyboard but dont notice any difference and cant find anything to choose from (swipe/android kb).

In Fabs directions he says
"keyboard: this switches keyboards, with 3 options (gb, wmt, bmt)

gb: gingerbread
wmt: white multitouch
bmt: black (AOSP 2.2) multitouch"

Can someone elaborate on this for me? Im wanting to use the original multitouch version again.

Thanks

Open up the terminal emulator app and type:
su
keyboard -wmt

Do you have your LCD Density changed? The T9 predictive dialer (new) does not seem to like to work at any density besides the default.

Sure, you just append the appropriate choice to the keyboard script. So in terminal emulator:

su
keyboard -wmt

and after the reboot, you should be able to choose multitouch keyboard in settings to use the original keyboard. More info on scripts:
