[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00445:
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to compare ROMs from different developers with the intention of finding out which one is best. Such threads always end up with one camp bashing the other.

Instead, I just want to have a feel of which one is more widely used. CM7 is feature-packed, while Oxygen is designed to be clean and minimalist. Both have their merits, and I regularly jump ship.

While I'm on Oxygen, CM7 went out of beta, so I am contemplating going back on CM7.

Oh sorry, I thought it'd be appropriate to post here because this is where people come looking for ROM. :O
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrouch:
Used CM7 for the sole reason that Oxygen does not have yet the long press volume to skip track starting the official updates from N1. Once Oxygen has it, it's still my choice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dunbad:
Last time I installed oxygen I couldn't uninstall the latest version of maps (which for my purposes ain't as good as that last 4 version with clearer road names as you zoom in etc). I cant sort that myself, but On cm7 you can. I find cm7 bombproof with great battery but I'm staying with an old 44 radio.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nesrail:
I use Oxygen because it had gingerbread at the time it came out. I tried CM7 but there is no feature that will make me switch from Oxygen to CM7.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiekh:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamin_1:
really stupid question.

oxygen mostly based on cm development.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Year exactly why you shouldn't fill it with non rom threads. Make it more difficult to find the actual roms.

Why? He is not asking which is better, but which is more popular, and I don't think you can tell that from which rom is based on which. If you even bothered to read OP you'd know that.

On topic: For me it is definately Oxygen. The stock android is more than enough for my needs. The only thing i'm missing is the long press volume to skip track, but actually i almost never listen to music anyway.

I posted "other"

I jump from Oxygen to Redux, CM isn't a good choice for me... too bloated, I prefer simple (& light) rom

I remove also many apps from basic Oxygen & Redux, I prefer to stay slim :D

both are very cured & almost bugs free even if right now I prefer Redux for a couple of features integrated in the settings rom

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Wow, that's a big call... I'd like to see how Sense/HD roms come from cm???

Yes, there's *alot* of CM based roms, but Oxygen is not amongst them and it's just stupid to say that everything comes from CM.

I like Oxygen - it's slick and very good on the battery... no it doesn't have as many built in features as CM but that's not for me anyway. This is the beauty of choice though... work out what suits you best and go with that.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
CM7, Purely for the mods and hacks that it has, Oxygen is also a very good rom, don't be swayed by what other people are using though, use both roms and then decide for yourself. :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman_cro:
and where do you think kernel for that came from?? and fixes in kernel are all submited by cm devs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It used to be compiled from source and then cmparts was added to get camera features.

But now if you look at change logs "android 2.3.3 thanks to cm team" suggests to me that cm7 is now the base Rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Some base kernels are cm based and many fixes are implemented by cm and other kernel devs may compile these sources on git hub yes, but cm are not the only devs implementing fixes on git hub.

Although this is not fact, I bet some cm kernels implement fixed from other devs from git hub too.

Best to leave kernels out of this because everyone compiles from the same sources. They truly are a community effort

Most of the important mods and tweaks for an English rom are already present in Redux.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
You suck.

/on CM7 is known not only among Desire, it is one of the most popular ROMs on the Android platform. When beta was closed I was receiving tweets from a lot of android communities, like TalkAndroid, AndroidPolice and I think even engadget mentioned something about it (not sure). So it's definitely a much more popular ROM and tbh, it also felt smoother then Oxygen. IDK why I was having some lags with laungher pro on oxy, still a great ROM tho.

But...BUT, I still can't see why people are using AOSP ROMs when HTC Sense is so sexy and so much more stable. It's a ROM that has everything for everyone, there really isn't too much to add on it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wackymix:
+1 for CM7. I think is far bestfrom Oxigen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
On the sense thing, its a matter of preference.

I found it buggy from my experience. Well that was mainly HTC apps like people. The UI wasn't very customizable. Particularly the dock. It didn't suit my needs.

I much prefer launcherpro. In which case, why keep sense as an overhead?

Sure you can remove rosie, but why?

It's obviously subjective but I much prefer the clean look of aosp than sense. Yes sense is more polished, but I find aosp crisper and more to my liking

As for stability, I've got to disagree also.

I have found long developed aosp Roms much more stable. Remember, gingerbread aosp for desire is still in its infancy. Defrost was much more stable, faster and less resource hungry than sense Froyo

On topic, I really liked Oxygen until trackball wake and track skipping functions were removed. I listen to a lot of music so that became a deal breaker.

My phone is always Syncing something...I deleted all my accounts and re-added them...its getting to the point where it drains my battery so much. I'm running das BAMF 1.4 with 4.3b kernel. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] ttran97:
Maybe it's your Calendar. The Calendar kept syncing all the time for me on my Eris, Incredible, and now Thunderbolt. I just do a manual sync of the calendar after I make a change, and as soon as I see the time change, I uncheck the box and the circle stops spinning.
[Thunderbolt General] AisforAustin:
it's not. I unchecked it and it still was syncing. I even unchecked the box to totally stop background sync and it still syncs... =/
[Thunderbolt General] reg83ny:
I get the same sync too. So annoying. I think thats why the phone is so slow.
[Thunderbolt General] Adrozz07:
I keep sense unchecked for sync. Seems to stop the constant syncing

Blundered from my Dunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] mariol90:
If it's syncing your mail (it did this to me shortly after installing das bamf 1.4) go into each email account, menu -> more -> settings -> send and receive -> update schedule, and change the frequency for peak and off-peak to manual. even with sync set to off, it'd still sync all my email accounts. This means you'll have to manually check your mail though.
[Thunderbolt General] ybtc:
i know this probably isnt your problem but just incase... i tried to delete friend steam and i had that same problem
[Thunderbolt General] SuperFly03:
I'll give this a shot and see if it stops my sync problem. I mean, I'm getting 7hours of idle battery life sometimes. Usually slightly better but man it's rough.
[Thunderbolt General] higabyte:
What he said. Mine was constantly syncing too. After doing some fiddling, I narrowed it down to my Sense account.
[Thunderbolt General] TodesEngeI:
It could possibly be a sync started, and even thought you've disabled Auto Sync, it might just be completing the sync. I turn on autosync, wait for the circle to show up, then disable it but the arrows stay. Just my .02
[Thunderbolt General] AisforAustin:
I updated to BAMF 1.5 and the sync issue went away for me. Still have sense checked and no friendstream.
[Thunderbolt General] azbryan3:
I'm having the same issue but I KNOW its my primary Gmail contacts. (Under accounts & sync its spinning constantly). I noticed someone said that they deleted friend feed and I have also done that.

-Mobile via XDA Premium-

*edit*- reflashed the PS ROM and this time didn't delete the friend stream thing and now I have no issues. (I as well have sense sync checked and no issue with that either).
[Thunderbolt General] DRGilroy:
I've had the same issue on BAMF 1.5. I've found my Exchange constantly spinning until I go into the Sync options and then it would complete and stop. I thought it might have something to do with the security mod for Exchange mail so I installed the stock mail.apk I haven't noticed the sync sticking again since but I have noticed the Facebook contact sync will take awhile to complete. I have that set to sync once a day.

I'm coming from the Galaxy and trying to make sure I don't screw up...can I flash any roms with this version without losing my precious 850 band?? And if so how do I flash my old radio back or is it that simple? Does flashing a kernel with voodoo sound change anything that I shouldn't? Just want to make sure that I don't get in too big of mess before I do anything. Not new to Android but there does seem to be some major differences to the i9000m to the Canadian version of the Nexus S.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slobba:
Something I have been cautious of as well with my 9020a.

I am running the latest Netarchy kernel without problems so I think you should be fine flashing a kernel. I have stayed away from any ROM that changes the radio. I tried the NSCollab ROM and it ran without problems but decided to go back to stock 2.3.3.

AFAIK Nandroid backup does not backup the radio but I could be mistaken.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulz5:
So this is what happened in short. I used Advanced Task Killer app to kill apps to save battery. It worked well for about couple of days. I was careful in what apps to kill. But after my last boot I unintentionally killed some app/task after which i get a "blank screen".

My phone boots normally. I can view my phone screen wallpaper in my locked mode. But when I unlock my phone I get this black area below my notification bar. Only my notification bar works. The menu, home, back and search button do not trigger anything in the black screen. Incoming call is received but i cannot attend them.

I tried multiple reboots. Took off my battery, sim for a few min and booted again. The black screen wont go away. I did a backup using clockwork recovery couple of days back. The last app i installed was Lookout antivirus.

Can someone please guide me how to fix this issue :)

I will be out for a few hours. I will respond as soon as I'm back. Thank you :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Odin back to JFD Stock, Then root and see if that resolves the issue. If it does, then reflash your rom, do not forget to make a backup and save an extra copy on the computer not the phone.

If Flashing Stock does not resolve, then it very likely to be a hardware problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
what launcher are you using? if its anything besides the gingerbread launcher or twiz then you are probably accidentally killing the launcher you are using and thats resulting in the launcher having to reboot. be very careful with your auto kill settings or set exceptions for your launcher.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
you could adb push a different launcher so when you hit home it would ask which one to use and select the new one to gain access.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulz5:
Hi i resolved the issue by restoring backup. i think killing launcher pro prevented the home screen from launching. Since I could view other thing I hit the power button and then chose Recovery option. It booted in clockwork recovery and I restored a backup I did a couple of days ago and the restore fixed the issue.

Thanks for your inputs. :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltydog:
I tried to post this on the actual thread about this Update, but I was not allowed because I had not posted 10 times previously.

Anyway, I am new to rooting Android phones….new to android phones for that matter. I have had the Samsung Epic 4G for about a month. I have been looking into rooting the phone, finally decided to go for it. I downloaded the filre for Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13 from this site. After doing one run of that bat file and getting stuck on the startup screen, I realized I needed to find a compatible ROM and Kernel and install them before rebooting.

I reset the phone to default settings, using the info on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909384 and then I used the kernel

from the original update thread, Default Stock Dual FS kernel For EB13, and the Bonzai ROM from their website. This time, the install worked properly, and when my phone rebooted, the firmware is listed as Bonsai/Kernel_v4.01. So I wanted to backup and uninstall some Samsung Bloatware from the phone,and as I understand it, the Titanium Backup is the best way to do it. Well, I installed it, and it has consistently said the program could not acquire root status. I clicked on the “problems” icon, got busybox and upgraded superuse, and that did not effect anything. I even reflashed the Bonzai Rom, but the end result is the same, I am still getting that same message. Since I have replaced my Rom and have installed Superuser, I have to assume I have rooted the phone, so what could be the problem here? The app SetCPU also says I do not have Root Access. So I am not sure what to do at this point.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
Sounds like a failed root:

Root again with the oneclick 3.0.0.6, power off, 3 finger boot and ext4 will be put on automatically. After ext4 installs install bonsai before rebooting.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltydog:
Is there a difference between onclick 3.0.0.6 and the one in the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897612,which is labelled 3.0.0.5/6? Because, if not, that is pretty much what I have done already.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
Same one.

I would odin to eb13, odin ec05 modem, root, boot to recovery and allow ext4, flash bonsai 4.0.1. Can't remember if 4.0.1 adds ec05 modem during flash, but if it does you can skip the ec05 odin (sorrry, but my mind has been on 4.1.0 for the last week). :)

The odin process will get rid of the kernel you currently have. Flashing the rom doesn't do anything to the kernel. The odin process will give you a nice clean slate to workv with. If your phone wants to do an ec05 OTA update during this process please tell it later and don't do it.

At which point a receive a notice saying 'The update to version 1.1-3588' was not successful. Please try again or contact customer support.'

Why is the tablet unresponsive after the failed update? Why must I NVFlash to reactivate the screen?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
Citi,

I'm not sure exactly what you are doing, but if you are getting the message

you described, that sounds more like you are booting in recovery or a regular

boot and not APX (Power/Volume - to be the white, the black APX NVFlash screen).

My suggestion is to do the stock recovery NVFlash Procedure again. Check

everything step by step to make sure the right files are there and the right

things done.

See if you can complete that and get back to a working bekit 1105 (Stock

Version 2638).

If you can do that, go into Settings/Display and set it so the display does not

turn off).

THEN, if it offers you the OTA Update, let it run.

If it is unsuccessful again, post back here and I will see if I can find the file

and instructions to load 3588 manually.

Hope this helps,

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citi:
Ok so I reread Roebeets NVFlash post and double checked my files. All of them are there and in the correct location. I set up my USB drivers, booted into APX mode and ran the nvflash_gtablet.bat

Then the tablet loads properly into the stock TNT 2638. After setting up my WiFi I get a notification that the 3588 update is available. I download the update and after it ask me if I would like to apply now or later. I have tried both options however both seem to fail.

At this point if I hit apply now it shuts down the tablet however it does not turn on. The only way to turn it on is using nvflash_gtablet.bat file. Which it then boots up properly (and it is not wiped, it's as if it is jut turning on normally)and I either get one of two errors.

'The update to version 1.1-3588' was not successful. Please try again or contact customer support.'

or

'The update process cannot proceed due to an unrecoverable error. More information about the error is below, 'Verify checksum: file was not found. Downloaded file does not exist.null'

Hope this helps, I am not new to rooting/flashing roms but this is a completely new error to me.
