that happens, i need to redo all of my rom settings, i have a ton of dates in my back ups, and i need to remove them all! lol, but it sucks that your camera quit working but it seems that flashing a new rom is the only thing you can do, i would suggest you flash a different rom, of any choice, and then reflash apex and see how it works for you bud ^_^

I wanted to find out which email app is better in this ROM? The Moto Blur one or the AOSP one? It seems that the Moto Blur one doesn't do Push email with an Exchange Server correctly and I don't know if I should try the other one. But I also like having my SMS and Exchange email in one location with the Universal Mailbox.

OK I think that I am starting to get the hang of this and I think this ApeX 1.3.1 ROM really really rocks! 
But I still have a few questions...
I can't read the numbers in the battery without my glasses and I don't really need them in there anyway so how do I make them go away?
Also, I toggle through the keyboard options but I don't think it's changing anything. I try -gb, -wmt, -bmt but no matter what it always comes up looking like this:
What am I missing here? Where's the "better GB keyboard" with the bigger keys? or is this it?
Another question...
How come I only see one wallpaper in this gallery?
What I REALLY want to know is how do I add my own wallpapers to it and customize a wallpaper gallery like this one?
Big thanks to anyone who can help this noob!

Comes with Blur by default, though it is switchable via script to the AOSP app as well.

The numbers were part of a goodies package installed, right? Really, the only way to go back is if you made a backup prior to installing them, or reinstall the ROM over the top of what you have now, which should return it to normal.
As for the keyboard, you need to enter the script in terminal emulator exactly as follows:
su
keyboard -bmt
and it will reboot, then you need to go into settings, keyboards, and tick multitouch keyboard
As for the wallpaper gallery, that's the only one that comes with the launcher (ADW), but if you have a lot on your SD card, just set them using the gallery app.

Can someone check my kernel?
2.6.32.9-gca645b6w30471@il93lnxdroid08#1
This part: (gca645b6w30471) doesn't match up with what others have posted but the (2.6.32.9) part matches.
Do I need to flash the TBH update?

Is this going to require a data reset, i.e. do I need to reload everything?
everything is working fine for me now. what does that kernel have that mine doesn't?

Hey wanted to say thanks Fab, rom is awesome. Got it on my GF's D2, and my DX! I'll be donating for sure.
One question, on the Blur apps archive, is there anyway to get a break down of what each one of the .apk's are? Rather than just install each one to see what it is, the uninstall, etc.
Also, I've just been installing them like any .apk, no the install script on root of sdcard, and they seem to working fine, is that normal?
Thanks!

ah! OK well it works if I type in the dash. That's what I was missing. Thank you so much Fabolous! 
As far as the wallpaper gallery, I know I can set them using the gallery app and all but I have wanted to know how to customize a wallpaper gallery since I got the phone! Although for now I think I'll pretty much stick with the wallpaper I got on there. Don't you think it goes good with your green theme?

Is anyone else having "system not responding: force close, or wait" errors?
And the screen goes black, and only can hold down power button and restart.
Anyone else?
Not overclocking, fully wiped.

That happened to my phone. Tried everything i could but no luck. I was on Apex 1.3.1 and then went to Darkslide and when i rebooted back to Apex..............lol
I ended up doing SBF and then decided to use Darkslide for awhile.

Were you using Droid overclock by Jrummy? I feel like it might be a problem there. Darkslide is just too tricked out for me, id try if they had a standard theme. I could sbf, then try apex again. Also hoping Liberty 1.5 will have blur cam, dialer.

guys this happens frequently no need for alarm,,,here is the faq post on this issued i copied right out of the wiki for apex
I get a message saying system not responding, force close or wait. What should I do?
In very rare instances, this error can occur. It usually happens after installing a theme that changes the services.jar, or from a random reboot. This happens because of my startup script, which may try to make changes to the system too early in the boot process, and cause it to be unresponsive. It is by default set to wait 42 seconds before attempting to make a change, and for the most part, this seems like it is sufficient.
Quick answer: Just hold down the power button until the menu comes up, hit reboot, and it should sort itself out.
also for any other questions you can refer to the wiki found here

I understand that you can change it by a script but my question was to find out if the AOSP version does better push email for Exchange?
Hi all, love the ROM Fab, incredible. Especially for a first ROM.
I just have question: today i noticed my phone was getting a little hot. I keep it in my pocket, i have a thin plastic case on it, i am not overclocked, and i have many apps frozen that would run in the background. I have never noticed it getting this warm before i put aPeX on. It is almost to the point where i have to take it out of my pocket. ???? i charged it last night and have been using it today sparsely. still the same thing. Im worried it will overheat. I dont have an app to show real-time cpu temp at the moment.
Also a quick, random question: what clock widget is that on the original post for this thread? its super swag

If you want the aosp messaging then open terminal emulator in your app drawer and type
Su
messaging -aosp

that works too
The latest version of QuickClock Advanced will pretty much do everything for you. All you have to do is run the calibration then pick which overclock profile you want to use. The values will all be determined based on the results of the calibration. If it turns out you're not stable, just bump the stability buffer up a bit. It defaults to 15%. Some people can run lower, and some need a little bump. For the vast majority, though, 15 is where it's at and you'll have yourself a maximally undervolted and overclocked phone. Huzzah.
