What are your reception problems? Does it drop to 1X and then not feel like switching back to 3G until... 10 minutes later or you switch into Airplane mode and then back? Because that has ALWAYS happened to me regardless of ROM. It's so annoying.

Go to the market and download No Lock, then add the widget to your home screen, and you can change whether you want to unlock it or not anytime.
for the whole system I prefer a nandroid backup from the bootstrap. otherwise i backup using titanium when i switch ROMsI'm not experiencing any problems on my DX.
Actually, now with Apex, my reception has improved, web browsing greatly improved, hands-free voice dialing improved, and my battery life is amazing.
I'm on the phone most of the day, then charge at night.
I'm wi-fi connected for calls and Internet, so that may have something to do with it, but I still get great speed and battery life on 3G away from home.
I just followed the dev's instructions carefully and did exactly what he said. This was my first attempt at rooting from stock, and though I was sweating bullets when I did it, it was simple and easy and I'm glad I did it.
Now that I have my phone set up exactly like I want it, what is the preferred way of backing the whole system up to the SD card, bootstrap, Titanium?
Thanks again to the dev.

Nandroid backup from bootstrap will allow to restore to exactly how the phone was when you backed up, immensely useful.
Try typing the following into terminal emulator:
su
sys -rw
mv /system/usr/bin/setup_bt.sh /system/usr/bin/setup_bt
sys -ro
reboot
That'll turn off the startup script. I'm going to have to play around with that a little more, as it's causing some users issues
Hey, thanks for narrowing down the cause. I'll try to recreate this today and see what I can do about it.
I would say my battery life is similar to yours, I have to plug in during the day to make sure I can make it through. I have only my Droid X a couple weeks and I have tried to keep useage down but I am also disappointed in battery life.My battery life sucks. I just hit 80% at 4.1 hours with VERY little use. Display time was less than 20 minutes. My phone is set up exactly as it was with stock 2.3.340. With stock, I was hitting 80% around 8 hours with pretty heavy use. Any ideas?
Fabolous, any news on the next update?
Got tired of not knowing how to change the battery icon so I spent the afternoon between support calls learning where the icons are located and using 7-zip to change the images in 1.3 to the ones from Nextheme. Damn proud of myself! LOL
to any one having issues lately......have you guys done your installs correctly?wiped data/cache?are you installing themes on top of each other?are you restoring data with tibu?...i only ask since something has to be wrong i am not saying anyone having problems has not followed directions and apex is perfect but i and many others have had a smooth run ,,,maybe this is also due to the x being so fickle from one build to the next kind of the way it is with overclocking,,,,just trying to remind anyone who is having issues to make sure it might not be user error
Chances are I did something wrong installing ApeX on my DX, it was my first and only Rom install.to any one having issues lately......have you guys done your installs correctly?wiped data/cache?are you installing themes on top of each other?are you restoring data with tibu?...i only ask since something has to be wrong i am not saying anyone having problems has not followed directions and apex is perfect but i and many others have had a smooth run ,,,maybe this is also due to the x being so fickle from one build to the next kind of the way it is with overclocking,,,,just trying to remind anyone who is having issues to make sure it might not be user error

What do you suggest I do at this point to fix it?
I installed it correctly, but i DID restore apps+data via Titanium... Should I not have done that?

Yes I made all the recommended backups including the Stock_OTA backup. I want to redo and do things right. Can you tell me what SBF stands for?After you rooted hopefully you made a backup prior to installing a rom that you can restore and flash apex again (this is your most important backup for rom installs and accepting ota when they are released without a headache)if you didnt then you can either just try to reinstall apex and wipe data cache upon install and hopefully you wont have issues ...if problems persist then I would sbf ....make a backup then reinstall apex
So how did you do it? I don't want to re-invent the wheel and all that jazz... Did anyone make a update.zip of this yet. Thanks all!

I know I saw a thread on how to SBF with links for the needed files, but now for the life of me I can't find it again, I would appreciate a little help finding it again.
