[ROM][DROID2] ApeX V2.0.0 Release Candidate (RC2) (6/12/2011)

[Giroux28]

oooooo so ur saying sleep mode will do it for me ORRRRRRR i can use juice defender to set **** up while the fone is on correct idopa?

 

[Giroux28]

i downloaded ultimate installed and set her up well see how she goes

also i do wanna state that battery life with apex 2.0 rc2 without touching anything is PERFECTLY AMAZING AND BY FAR THE BEST IVE EVER EXPERIENCED... im always just tryna make stuff better...

 

[ldopa]

Yeah ultimate should work fine. Calibrate the battery too with battery calibration (app), use quickclock advanced to run at the lowest voltage possible.

so wait if i set this thing up with the noifcation bar setting and also the data off when screen off setting does that mean i will never get calls or texts or anything while my screen is off and will not recieve it until i turn screen on? dude is there anyway u could tell me how u have it set up or something? im advanced with all of this stuff... ive been rooting and roming since droid 1 two years ago... im jus unfamiliar with this app... i like what i see tho man, it looks like a steroided up version of the android battery mode screen LOL

i already use droid2 overclock and i keep it at 1ghz and go low voltage... ur saying i should use ultra low voltage with d2 overclock at 1ghz? and also instead of battery calibration i use clockwork to reset battery stats and i did that 5 days ago after i had rc2 themed and set up the way i wanted... i should do my reset batt stat cycle again too ur saying? thanks in advance for everything, if u ever need help with anything im ur man dude

If you've already calibrated that's OK. It's good to do after switching roms. Just set juice defender to balanced and see how that goes. No need to overcomplicate it. texts are not 3g so you'll get calls and sms. Actually its smart in the sense that it won't prevent you from getting the messages and mail that you need. I've recently stopped using jd though since getting into sysctl and Imoseyon.com. Oh one more thing. Def calibrate with quickclock advanced, it's essential. Then in droid overclock, enable the smartass governor. It is the best. Read up on it if you don't know how it works. Then there is sysctl (droid overclock advanced in settings). Too long to explain it here, but set it up from top to bottom like this
4096
90
70
1
Oom task on.
Increases performance and saves battery. Just make sure to reboot at least once a day to clear the cache.

you mentioned that it was essential to calibrate with quickclock advanced however previously u mentioned a diff app to calibrate with... i reset my batt stats again after all these changes and i was at 100%... is there something essential that i need to do with quickclock advanced?? i did everything else u said besides that cause i was confused

 

[ldopa]

My bad. Calibrate the battery with battery calibration AND calibrate your cpu with quickclock advanced. It will run a test and find the lowest voltage your phone can run at and the max frequency you can run at. It does it all for you and is safer than droid overclock, believe me. Check your pm box now, i'm sending you a gift

Brain fart dude. Like I said before, it's a blur thing. No way to get it on apex. Lol! I would just turn off auto sync and manually push gmail and fb. That's what i do. Use juice defender to turn data off when the phone is asleep. Better than battery saver!

You can get those settings in Apex. You can download "Battery Settings" via "Fission ROM Manager," and flash it in bootstrap.

 

[ldopa]

Thanks for the info. Good to know. Isn't fission a froyo rom? You can install battery settings from a froyo rom on a gb rom (apex?) Interesting.

Moving from Apex 1.4.1 to 2.0

Is this a simple upgrade or are there some additional trick I need to do to get to 2.0?


*** Hmmm, went through clockwork and downloaded 2.0.... Just reloaded and reboot, and I am stuck at a boot screen that says "Google" and just hangs. I did a ROM backup before upgrading, so if I rename to backup under clockworkmod to update.zip, will that work? That doesn't seem to work, so what is the trick to getting the stock recovery tool to read a Clockworkmod ROM backup? Or should I just pull down the Apex 1.4.1 and reload off of that?

Secondly, since now I am on a mission to move up to 2.0, what prep work do I need to do in order to my Droid X ready for 2.0... I would seem an updated kernel at the very least... Anything else?
