I don't want to hijack MildWild's thread so if you're interested please check out the dedicated thread.

F.A.Q.

I. Why would I want to install MildWild v2.9.5 Lite?

- It's smaller so it will fit on the Alpharev Oxygen r2 Hboot meaning that you will get a larger data partition and more space to install your applications. (Alpharev Oxygen r2 partition sizes: 100MB system, 5MB cache, 332MB data; Alpharev CM7 r2 partition sizes: 145MB system, 5MB cache, 287MB data)

- It stores apps and dalvik on sd-ext so you get even more space for your applications. On the downside, the ROM may become a bit slower.

- Alternatively, you can install the version which keeps dalvik on the internal memory.

II. So, how come MildWild v2.9.5 Lite is smaller?

- Some non vital system data and system applications have been removed from the instalation package.

III. Right, so what's missing?

- These applications have been removed:

1. GMmail (Gmail.apk) - you can install it from the Market so it will go to sd-ext instead on the internal memory, hence you get more space;

2. Google Talk (Talk2.apk) - well, you have to make some sacrifices; however, I think you can install it manually from the apk package but I haven't tried myself;

3. Google News & Weather Widget - you can find a whole range of simmilar applications on the Market; or you can probably install it from the apk package but I haven't tried;

4. Stock 3D Gallery (Gallery3D.apk - I recommend QuickPic from the Market instead; it is smaller and does the same job better;

5. Stock Music Application - there is a whole range of media players on the Market; this however will break the ability to play music through the Desk Clock Application; however, you can probably install it manually from the apk package but I haven't tried;

6. Typological Clock (TypoClock.apk) - you can most likely find something simmilar on the Market; or you can probably install it from the apk package but I haven't tried;

7. Timer Widget - you can most likely find something simmilar on the Market; or you can probably install it from the apk package but I haven't tried;

8. File Manager (FileManager.apk) - you can find a whole range of File Manager applications on the Market;

9. Compass (compass.apk) - you can find a whole range of Compass applications on the Market;

- Launcher 2 has been replaced with GO Laucher EX; it's smaller, faster and I think generally better; then again, it's a matter of taste;

- All alarms, notifications and ringtones have been removed from the installation package. Instead, you can download the media package attached (see link further down), unzip it, and place the folder as it is anywhere on the FAT32 partition of your SD card and it will work just the same. The system will automatically detect these files on the SD card.

- All PicoTTS (voice output) data files have been removed from the installation package. Instead, you can either download them from the Market or download the svox package attached (see link further down), unzip it, and place the folder as it is in the root of your FAT32 partition of your SD card and it will work just the same. The system will automatically detect these files on the SD card.

IV. So what's the point if I still want these applications?

- Whatever you install from the Market will go to sd-ext so you will have more space on the internal data partition for additional applications. If you keep the dalvik internal then the application data will stay on the internal memory but you still get some benefit as the apk still goes to the sd-ext.

- On the downside you can't get some of them on the Market and they may not install properly from the apk package so if you want to use exactly these apps then you'd better stick to the fully fledged MildWild ROM.

- However, you can download the apps package attached (see link futher down) and play with the apk files.

DISCLAIMER

ALL CREDITS go to MildWild.

I am NOT a delevoper and I have NOT developed any of the apps, bins, libs, etc. included inside the instalation file. I simply unpacked MildWild's zip file and removed/replaced a couple of things here and there, and then repacked it back. You can ask me questions but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to answer. Also, the responsability of installing the ROM and playing around with it lies 100% with YOU!
