Hi,

I'm considering oxygen as a replacement of CM 7.2 and I would like to ask if two annoying bugs of the cm 7.2 are fixed in oxygen:

1) proper management of headphone with no mic and headphone with mic (this is managed in CM 7.2 with a hack... )

2) bluetooth causing wavelocks and hence draining battery very fast if left on.

thanks

bye
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Joel Chan:
At least for me, they two bugs have been fixed :) Go ahead and try it!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
they are fixed but remember Oxygen is very basic & stock (No FM, no Theme chooser, and THEY WILL NEVER BE ADDED).. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] enryfox:
Yes I know... and that is what holding me to switch to Oxygen. I tested this ROM very quickly and it is surely more debugged, but I miss some apps and the eye-candy of CM 7.2 :p.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
^ you can try OMFGB then , Oxygen + CM7 combo.. :D

but it lacks one feature - Default OC, you need to get SetCPU for that.

& in oxygen, for eye candy you can try a custom launcher with themes and MILocker or Widgetlocker for lockscreen, also use Spirit FM for FM Radio.. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] grujic.ljubomir:
I've been using Oxygen 2.7 for some time but the camera focus bug and data dropping connection made me revert back to stock. I'm now on 2.8 and have to say it is by far the most stable and usable stock ROM for P500. I like the customization options on CM7 but I rather have a fast, stable ROM than a pretty one :) Everything seems to work perfectly, although there is still the problem with the camera exposure, but I can live with that. The performance is excellent, battery is very good and I haven't encountered any serious bugs yet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] valent|n0:
I want to give a raving review to this rom

I just fresh install oxygen rom

I have Gmail Sync, gtalk, whatsapp, seeismic , instagram and yahoo mail that checks email every 1 hour.

Wifi off

3G on

I have supercharger V6 enabled

my battery sitting at 71% after 7 hours unplugged

Thats 3.82 usage per hour

mind you I am not using it that much. But there is a few background usage with the apps I mentioned above. Impressive!

Edit: Twitter updates every 30 minutes
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
gmail and yahoo have 0 usage, they use push (yahoo doesn't have c2dm, but it is very low consuming|)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
As far as eye candy is concerned, vikas has made a flashable zip ICS theme for this rom. From reading that thread, you probably need to be on ttwp or cwm recovery and have to mount the system to actually have it working. So even in 2.8 there is a camera exposure problem? I wonder why?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kiraXce:
Camera exposure is working fine. :) infact this problem never existed in oxygen.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Ive managed to hit a small bump, I was on amonra recovery but switched to cwm recovery...I went to flash the update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500_kang.signed zip and this is the error I got while in recovery....

Question ?

Ive flashed 2.8, I set up gapps, but than I rebooted phone to flash a2sd script...I partitioned the sdcard, changed ext2 to ext 3 than ext 3 to ext 4, than rebooted, I didnt see google play store at all once I rebooted ? Any answers as to why ? do I need to flash a2sd immediately after upgrading ext's and partitioning sdcard ? What tweaks can I use with oxygen 2.8 ? can I use the same one's found in themed roms such as GTR 7 or Razr UI ? How can I get the most out of this rom ? Because it's the most stable rom Ive used, reminds me alot from my days with mik_os 6.5.7 cm7

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

How can I get the same transitions that are in GTR and RAZR-UI ? Ive located a thread in which the guy used metamorph + ICS transitions zip, but I havent used it yet ?

Screen unresponsive during call

I searched the forum for some discussion of my problem, but couldn't find anything except blackscreen issues. In Oxygen 2.6 or 2.8, when I'm on a call and want to end it or return to the number keypad (eg. for voicemail functions), I pull the phone from my face and the screen lights up, but I have to press the keys two or three times to register. Once it registers, I can press other keys until I put the phone back to my ear.

Is this a dialer issue that I can fix by downloading another from the market? Is there some other fix? Or do I just have to live with this in Oxygen?

Any help is appreciated.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] myawan:
+1, I also face this sometimes
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
its not a dialer issue but a touchscreen bug, i guess you can call it a bug.

this happens out of the blue sometimes when the touchscreen goes unresponsive for 2-3 seconds.

There is no fix for this, so there are only 2 workabouts.

1. press one button or any part of the screen for 1-2 seconds repeatedly.

2. lock and unlock using h/w button, it gets instantly fixed.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] treefrog321:
Thanks for the reply. So, then it's ROM/kernel bug? I haven't had this with other GB roms, but I prefer just about everything else about Oxygen. Would flashing another kernel fix this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] myawan:
@treefrog321

I won't recommend you any other kernel, that might break stability of this awesome rom, this is just a very minute and rarely occuring bug. Better ignore this, I used to have it some days back but now its fine.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] thatnextdoorboy:
Not a problem with the ROM... or with anything. It's just a setting in the router that needs to be compatible with the hardware that connects to it and it won't affect the speed or stability of the connection.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ess_kay27:
First of all thank you popdog123 for the incredible ROM... :good:

I am not much of a gaming person and wanted a battery friendly ROM and my search ended with yours...Incredible battery backup and and even snappier performance...

The only issue I face , as do others (reading the discussion made me aware there are others too facing the same problem), is that of the screen turning black sometimes ,with only the hardware buttons lighting up...No amount of pressing the power button helps...only removing the battery does... :confused:

However I can live with it as I am getting helluva ROM in bargain...

:confused: If any of you could tell me whether I should install App2Sd all over again,even though Link2sd is there....coz some apps are not getting linked to sd,as a result I am running out of memory...also some apps refuse to install after downloading, saying "NOt enough space"...even though there is about 30mb of space...(and yes I tried clearing cache as well)...

P.S. I did a clean install,new partition with 512 mb as well,with ext2 to ext 3 and ext 3 to ext for ...and the rest left as FAT...

Thank You.

I have been using it for over one month but never had such black screen bug, I don't use any Link2SD or App2SD plus I don't OC.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] popdog123:
The rom already comes with a2sd. So if you flashed other versions of a2sd then that is why it doesn't work. If you didn't flash a2sd then try manually linking an app with Link2sd and see if it works. If it does then it's a configuration issue (check Link2sd). If it doesn't then try reflashing and DON'T flash another a2sd script. Just install Link2sd
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ess_kay27:
Thank you so much... I realized my mistake.. App2sd was just plain apk install.. So I just un installed it. Then I relinked all apps to sd via link2sd...and Lo!! I have over 100 mb space now... :)

Few questions

I have few question regarding this rom:

1. What is the battery backup when music is continuously playing?

2. Will changing governors frequently have any effect on phone/battery?

3. Will themes based on cm7 work on this rom?

4. does installing themes (made for this rom) affect roms's performance?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vj_dustin:
1. no one listen's to music all day so you cannot get an estimate there. i'd say around 6-8 hrs at least.

2. the governor will affect the battery, frequent changes won't

3. absolutely not & neither will that feature be ever included, its AOSP. You can though search in themes section, a thread for ICS look on GB is there. Its pretty sleek.

4. No it won't. unless that package is bugged.

Actually stock player on stock 2.2.2 gave a good backup while playing music. Battery used was 20-30 % while playing continuously for 4 hours. (screen off and with headphones)

I had another question --

is it possible to replace the phone.apk in the system/app with another dialer? I'm not happy with current dialer since it has no T9 support, no suggestion, speed dial etc.

If its possible can i replace it with dialer from other roms or maybe an app from play store?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pmvyas:
Try Dialer One from the play Store.

It has T9, is customisable, you can swipe between contacts list & call log etc.

Been using this for the same reason...T9

No issues till now ( using since last 6-7 months)

I love this rom!!

I've had a P500 for alomost 2 years now. I love this phone. I hated it when I got it because of the stupid LG stock rom. One of the first things I did was flash CM6 on the phone. I then went back to stock after the GB update came out. About 6 months ago, I decided that enough was enough and went back to CM6. I then realized that CM7, CM9 and CM10 ports were available for this little phone that could.

I downloaded CM9, used that for almost 2 months, then went on to CM10 (48 hours max!) then back to CM7. I was pretty happy with things, but then I started to notice the screen lag and the frequent FCs. I had no idea that something waay better was out there, until I stumbled upon OXYGEN.

Oh my GOD! I've been on this rom for about 2 hours now. Clean install. No hassles. Everything works and how! Its as smooth as silk! I'm sure there are issues---bound to be!--- but no other ROM has left such a good impression from the first boot. Folks, are all AOSP roms like Popdogs Oxygen port? If so, I think its time to reflash my GTab 10.1 (P7500).

Thank you so much guys! Everyone at XDA does such a wonderful job. I hope I can contribute to this excellent forum in a meaningful way.

strange app2sd behaviour

Hello, I put update-oxygen-2.3.2-LGP500-KANG-signed_v2.8.zip on my LG P500... I tested it for some minutes, but then struggled when viewing the app-information:

After I installed e.g. Titanium-Backup from google play, it was a) under the apps on SD-card (?!?), but b) offered me to move to SD-card ?!?)... strange strange... when I choose move to SD-Card and then move to Phone... it is still listed under the apps on SD-card...

Background info: prior to oxygen I had the original LG 2.3.3 version with an SD-card on it that has no 'specific' partitions... it is one single ordinary FAT32 partition...

Has this strange SD-card behaviour something to do with the partitioning of the SD-card? Is app to SD not working anymore like it did with LG Android 2.3.3?
