First, thank you very much for the update and sharing it with all of us! My only question relates to the sound the phone makes after bootup, shutdown, and when doing things with the SD card. Is there any way to change this back to the default "Droid" or another sound? The sound that you changed it to kinda freaks me out! It totally reminds me of a sound from the movie Halloween!
So I have a bug maybe. Before I flashed from 1.3.1 I was using the ASOP messaging app, when I flashed his morning to 1.4 my email shows up but when I hit the notification in the status bar nothing happens. Any idea?
Did you clear cache first?anyone have any idea why this may have happened..
I heard people couldnt get into bootstrap on 1.4.0...so i figured, let me try it..so i got in - then rebooted the phone after accessing bootstrap...and i lost all my text messages since last night when i flashed 1.4.0, but it restored all the ones from before i flashed it - with messed up dates and times and all out of order and such..anyone see this?
This is for you Steven58
Have a few questions.
1) If i created a backup thru bootstrap recovery of another rom can i just restore that rom thru bootstrap and thats it?
That's it. Restore it through Clockwork Recory.
2) If i want to install ADW EX on apex 1.4 should i uninstall ADW 1st?
I don't know. I don't use ADW EX. However, I do use another lancher. I would just just install adw ex, get it up running and then freeze or delete regular adw through root apps.
3) Will Root explorer allow me to uninstall unwanted programs such as need for speed (did not see this one in toolbox).
Yes, it will, but it is not found in the toolbox. You have to buy it from the market. It's worth it.
4) How do you create a backup of your stock systems (After SBF) if you have to be rooted to give Bootstrap SU access?
See the thing is this. SBF IS indeed your unrooted "back-to-stock" rom. You can restore with it and get back to stock if you need to return your phone to Verizon. You don't NEED a backup of that. SBF is your backup. Once you root, you can backup apps using Titanium Backup (TiBu) individually. Additionally, you can backup entire roms using clockworkmod recovery or Rom Manager. I prefer the latter. I'm a wimp. It's faster.
5) What blur gallery the default gallery on apex 1.4?
The AOSP gallery is the default on ApeX 1.4 (I prefer that over the blur one). However, you can change your preference using the toolbox, if you like the blur gallery better. (I don't)
6) When i flashed this rom all my apps started poping up on my phone. I recently installed appbrain and backed up my apps i was wondering if this occured because of appbrain or if this was just a android market function. (i cleared devk cache)
If you don't want the apps to automatically install, when you flash the rom or any rom, when it asks you for your email at the beginning prompt, simply select "skip" and enter your info later. If you don't, you have a long wait for your downloads. I don't like that.
7) i came from liberty and have the liberty logo when the phone starts then switches to apex logo. Wondering how i would get rid of the liberty logo.
That's a problem. In order to get rid of it you'll have to go back to Liberty and go to the liberty toolbox and change the "boot logo" to the one you want. I use the regular M for Motorola. If someone else has a better idea or way, feel free chime in.
Thanks
Did you clear cache first?
Try deleting current Blur app for Vvm.apk in apextoolbox if you are using google voice.After every reboot I'm getting a notification:
Voicemail activities received data service n/a - click to refresh. I click, it refreshes, no problem. Just wondering why I'm getting it after every reboot.
Use BootStrap RecoveryCan't seem to do a backup to apex 1.4 using ROM manager. Any suggestions? Thanks
Fab -- good work. I will buy you a beer or two.
Try using the toolbox to switch messaging apps.yes..clean install..wiped data, and cache, then flashed 1.4.0.

rjs: I hope you don't mind, I answered your questions within your quote. Please follow up if there's anything else we can do.
For those of you having battery drain issues a wiping of batt stats may be in order...only do this once battery is charged to 100% !.....preferably in the morning after your x has been charging all night
Boot into clockwork recovery
scroll to advanced
Wipe batt stats
Reboot
....this has helped me in the past so give it a shot
Because you already had ones set. Anyways, the ringtone is called 'Enter the Nexus' and the notification is 'Vega'
Hey all, just updated to 1.4. Watermark'd theme. But now, hancent won't send mms pictures. Not sure about receiving them yet. Anyone had this problem?
