[ROM] ApeX 1.3.1 for Droid 2 - Running, running, as fast as it can

[inssane]

Tried a couple of the Apex compatible themes and no go. Monster FC's upon boot.
Just a warning.

Okay, so I've already Rooted my D2, put on Rom manager (free version) and followed instructions to installing.

It asks me to back up/wipe cache and whatever and I press okay. Phone reboots and nothing happens. Could it be because i have the 2.3 update and not the 2.2.1 update the Rom is based on?

Ideas?

More than likely you didn't run bootstrap recovery first. Bootstrap allows the phone to boot and run CW recovery, which is needed to backup your image via ROM Manager

interesting. Time to go buy bootstrap then.

You can. But you need to run bootstrap recovery one time so rom manager will boot into recovery

Please re-read what I wrote.
Bootstrap must be run FIRST (then just click OK) then you can use ROM Manager to backup your image. Using "bootstrap" to back up an image simply brings you to the recovery console --- just like ROM Manager does for you. Just two different ways of doing the same thing.
Make sure to "Allow" both Bootstrap and ROM Manager in superuser when asked.

Okay just used bootstrap recovery and went back and tried again. We'll see if it works in a few mins.


Edit: It's working. Thanks alot guys! That was very quick help

You should probably read up a bit. Bootstrap is always the first move.
When you get stuck in a boot loop because of a forgotten step and you have to sbf back, things get ALOT more difficult...

I was just going off of what some guy on jeepforum.com (forum im ALWAYS on) said in the Android thread we have going. He left out bootstrap. But now I have apex installed and it's really nice. Pretty smooth.

So far so good with the ApeX rom. A little bit laggy at times and it drained my battery fast just like it were a new phone so I let it die and I'm recharging it now.

Didn't this ROM come out recently?

Yeah the GB keyboard does not seem to work well with the D2. Better just to stick with the multitouch that comes preloaded or Swype.

The GB keyboard works nicely for me!

The app market seems to be having some network connectivity issues with this ROM it's also still a bit laggy. Just a heads up.

Market issues are on Google's end.

As for the script, you must request su access before running any script.

Oh ok, good because I love this ROM so far, the fly in/fly out stuff is my favorite. But it is definitely a lot faster than the stock stuff. Keep it up!
