doh! that's my fault, I confused it with 'Android System'
Spare Parts is a good idea, take a look in there. SystemPanel will also do the same thing, though with a nicer GUI.

I don't see anything unusual in System Panel , could be I don't know , either how to use it or what to look for, but if I'm reading this well, there is nothing unusual here
Could be the overclock profile Im running, -ulv ?
Just did a Reboot and it went down to 16%

I too am having this issue with the camera. All images saved are of size '0.00k'. Would really like to get this one resolved

Does any of your media work? Like music, video?
If your media isn't working, it's because you installed the wrong version (i.e. leak version on ota, or vice versa).

I think this might be the case for me. I installed ApeX v1.2 because my kernel version matched yours in the screenshot (first post in this thread - 2.6.32.9), however, I didn't install any leaked updates, that was simply the version my phone came with. Should I be running on ApeX v1.0.2.x?
Fabolous
Superuser
Yes.
Also, it's the letters after 2.6.32.9 that did not match. Those are the important parts because they specify the build
All Froyo Droid X's use 2.6.32.9, but they are not all the same build.

Cool, thanks for the update. I'll throw 1.0.2 on there.
Batriel:
Did you recently switch to the extended battery? Have you cleared your battery stats.
Charge battery to 100%, keep charging additional 30Mins. Clockwork recovery--> Clear Battery Stats
I've gotten in the habit of doing this when I change ROMS and it seems to help the OS to properly recognize the battery usage...
I hope this helps you,
Mike

I was running Fission, but got tired of VZ Nav not working and no assisted GPS. I need VZ Nav to work for me in case Google Maps doesn't have a street listed and I use GPS daily for work.
FWIW I just started all over to clean anything out that isn't needed. SBF'd and factory reset. Installed 1.0.2.2 since I am on 2.3.15.
GPS works perfectly. Voice search works as it should, too. Text commands, navigate and map commands and call commands are all working without any problems.
Thanks for another great ROM. I get bored sometimes and try others for something new, but always end up coming back to Apex.

Hey fab just want to say that this rom is FABOLOUS!!! Crazy fast! OC @ 1.25 stable. Everything is working perfect. Love the pop up animation but not feeling the screen tansition. Makes me literally dizzy when im on the market going from page to page. Its there a way to disable the screen transition but keep the pop up animation?
Fabolous
Superuser
Yeah, I think in Spare Parts you can disable transitions but keep window animations.

Fab, everything is running great on 1.0.2 since I made the switch, but I can't seem to disable the adblocker. Running the command 'adblock -off' in the terminal yields the following:
cp: /system/etc/hosts.off: No such file or directory
Ad Blocking is off
The reason I'm pretty sure it is still on (other than the above error) is on certain pages, where there were normally be an ad, I see a little 404 page or something similar (cannot connect to ad.doubleclick.net, etc etc)
cp: /system/etc/hosts.off: No such file or directory

ha! that's because I forgot to include that file when I was backporting 1.2 to 2.3.15! oops!
Actually, I think you can just delete the hosts file and restart and it should repopulate with an empty one:
su
sys -rw
rm /system/etc/hosts
sys -ro
reboot
should do the trick.
One more bugfix...heheh

WOW! Thanks for the quick reply. Just changed it and this rom is perfect now. I love this rom so much!
also how do you apply the font size? Everytime I click on 70% and exit it. It doesn't change and stays the same

Yeah, I tried the Google contact thing, but it's not working either. Apparently, it's not your fault at all and it's just a random freak thing with the Android OS. I wonder if Google even knows about this problem..
I am using holiday theme...
<<<<< that's my homescreen.
Holiday Theme is fine, but it wipes out the wonderful transitions and such. I installed "fold", but it's not as good as what comes with Apex 1.0.2.2 . I was wondering if there was any way for me to install the ones from apex on top of the Holiday Theme. Is it a burning issue? No. Would I like it? Yes, as it's better. TIA.

Im not sure why there is so much inconsistency. Im on the leak running Apex 1.1.2 with update patch and Revolution theme. My voice search seems to be working flawlessly and my battery life is great. I'll attach my battery stats for reference. I'm casual user, got my 3 stars on angry birds today for the seasonal release, played some word feud,a couple phone calls and some facebook is my typical usage.
...scratch that I don't know how to attach pictures. I think I have an account somewhere for hosting but not sure. Anyhow im at just over 13hours with 70% battery left. The only downside I've had is less stability when overclocking but that is offset with a seemingly snappier rom with no OC. Actually im now at 1.125, previous Apex I was stable at 1.25.
