ApeX 2.0 for Droid Pro Gingerbread has finally reached the Release Candidate landmark! As always, the goals of the ROM are speed, stability, reliability, and simplicity of use. I feel that this version lives up to those goals admirably! Take it for a test yourself and see if you agree!

Scripts
- poweroverwhelming: activate Quadrant "turbo" mode
- sys: mount system r/w and r/o
Things to know
- Market apps are removed (Gmail, Maps, Voice Search, etc). Remember to re-enable Gmail sync in your account settings after downloading it.
- Preset, Yahoo, Email, Motorola, and Corporate Sync in add accounts don't do anything.
- Sync Facebook contacts using the official app
- To change network mode: dial *#*#4636#*#*, click phone information, scroll to the bottom and select which you want.
Bugs:
- Dialer is scrunched together. I cannot fix this, trust me i have tried.
- Auto-brightness is flakey, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.
- No virtual keyboard. This is due to how it had to be done for it not to pop up when using the physical keyboard and so that you can actually get through initial setup. Otherwise, it hangs on "please slide keyboard out".
- Status bar background does not stretch all the way across on some screens. It shows whatever is behind it (shown in the lockscreen screenshot)
Installation Instructions:
- Meet all the requirements listed at the top of the post
- Wipe data/cache, dalvik cache (only wipe cache and dalvik if coming from 602 Test2)
- Flash Apex
