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

Yeah forgot to PM you back tom.

Yesterday I was using my phone a lot, so could not really tell if it helped much.

Today I'm back to light to moderate use which is normal for me, and so far today it seems fine.

Thanks for the tip!
 
Are the voltage settings on ApeX the same as they would be without ApeX?

Can't seem to find the answer to this, I figure if it's not mentioned it's probably stock. I'm just trying to figure out if using "Revert to Stock Settings" on JRummy's overclock app will bring me back to where I'm at now with a fresh ApeX 1.30 install... Don't want to lose that point of reference because my phone currently runs perfectly.

Hey! Where did our alarm clock go? Can I get it back?

You mean your alarm shortcut? You don't have to change anything to get your alarm shortcut back. Follow these directions (assuming you're using ADW.Launcher):

Long press on any home screen with a 1x1 free space
Select "Custom Shortcut"
Select "Pick Your Activity"
Select "Activities"
Scroll down to and select "Clock"
Select "Alarms(.AlarmClock)"

Did that solve it?

Yes, revert to stock will bring it back to normal. I didn't change any voltage settings this time around.

It's in the clock app. If you want the Blur alarm clock back, you run the following in terminal emulator:

su
alarm -mot

I installed went thought the bootstrap to install the zip and now my phone is stuck at the "M". any ideas?
Click to expand...

were you on .320 or .340 before you installed this? did you wipe data and cache?

1. Turn the phone off.

2. Hold the Power and Home buttons down for about 5 seconds.

3. A screen with an exclamation will appear. Tap the Search key.

4. Scroll down to factory reset using the Volume Down button.

5. Confirm the selection.

6. Select Yes — delete all user data then tap OK.

It will then complete the hard reset.

Are you hitting enter after su

also you have to put a space in between alarm and -mot

alarm -mot

EDIT: What Tom said :)
 
Ok... I've been running this ROM for a few days and really like it...

But there are two minor issues that are nagging me:

1) I have two email accounts set up, my personal email through my ISP (Verizon FIOS) and my work email through corporate sync. Under the stock ROM, I could click on the Messaging icon and select which email account I wanted to access.

Now, I only have the email icon itself and it only goes into whatever account is set to default. If I have a new email on either account I can click the notification and get in that way. But, if I have no new email and just want to go to the inbox and read stuff - I have to go in, change the default account, go back out, and then back in. It's a pain in the ass.

I am sure there is a way around this, but I haven't found it yet.

2) This one is really just a minor annoyance. I have two wireless AP's in my house, each with a different SSID. Under the stock ROM, when I'd come home and activate the wifi on my X, it would connect to whichever one had the best signal depending on my location in the house. I have a two-story house that is mostly all block construction. I have to have a downstairs AP and an upstairs AP to get wireless coverage all over the house.

Now, it defaults to my downstairs AP which only has one bar of signal when I am upstairs. I have to keep manually connecting to the upstairs AP which as better signal.
 
Got it guys. As always many thanks.

By the way I have been modifying the Notification bar by dowloading notification icons from Droid Pirate. All has worked well except the circle battery mod. It works sometimes and then goes away. anyway to get Fabs circle battery mod without reflashing the entire rom?

For #1

Hey, if you have multiple Email accounts using the Blur app, you'll need to restore the universal inbox:

su
sys -rw
mv /system/app/Messaging.bak /system/app/Messaging.apk
sys -ro
sync


Then, you'll be able to access each inbox individually through the 'Messaging' app.

From Fab post #194, I was wondering this same thing, still contemplating going to it but so far I'm ok with just getting the notifications.

test this out for you ...im not meaning to sound rude lol as i know i kind of does but i say this since every x has different reaction to different settings so start with a frequence then try each voltage setting start with lowest and if you are unstable bump it up and if nothing else switch frequence and start over ...whatever you do do not set your settings on boot unless you know they are stable because if they are unstable it can throw your x into a mass bootloop and not leave you enough time to get back into the app to take it off boot .

I was good to go until I read this. I want to use the preset ULV 1.2@ 64v, 1.0@58v, 850@57v, and 400@36v. But am a little leary after your post to "set at boot". Based on what Apexs' was in the last version, this should be pretty stable to load on boot, correct? or am I missing something here?

EDIT: I also tried to set a profile for "screen on" at the above settings, but nothing ever changed. sorry to hijack, but I can't remember the ULV settings for the previous version of Apex :-(

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Just did it through the Terminal Emulator app. Sweet.
 
OK got it working. I originally installed the wrong APEX zip file and its messed up. Good thing I was rooted because I was able to mount the sd card and transfer the good zip and install it. Everything is working now. thanks for all the help.

you can try whatever settings you like ,i didnt mean to worry you i was just saying not to set your numbers at boot until you find ones that work ,and to be honest it changes nothing if you do or dont set a set of stable numbers at boot except for the fact that if you do get a reboot or reboot your phone you dont have to go back into the app and reset your numbers
 
Hey,

I did a fresh install of this from the stock 2.3.34 and wiped everything. I did my titanium backup and restored just my apps and no system settings what-so-ever.

ISSUE: My phone will not do the screen timeout if I do not lock my phone. It will remain on forever, charging or not. I've configured the settings for 15 second screen timeouts and for the phone to lock when the screen turns off. None of this matters.

Does anybody know of a fix for the screen timeout?


Alternate issue, not really important: My background in launcher Pro is something different from my lock screen....
