Looks good so far.

You can choose where to install your apps (same as Mildwild V4.3).

As per the instructions for MW's ROM (thanks SydBarret55), If you want apps on sd-ext:

1. Activate sd-ext:

Go to Setting>Applications>Development

Check SD-EXT

Reboot phone

2. Choose the default location for applications:

Go to Settings > Applications > Preferred install location

Choose sd-ext

Or go here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25430232&postcount=3812

You can also move apps individually:

Settings > Applications > Manage applications

Touch the app you want to move, and then touch where you want the app to go e.g. Move to Phone, Move to SD-Ext (EXT3 or EXT4 partition) or Move to SD card (Fat 32 partition).

Again, the link above has screenshots to show you what to do.
[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
Those instructions worked. Cheers :cool:
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
It has yeah, please see the post from MrUrgit below:

Thanks for the post, I'll add it to the bottom of the first post.

It's basically a mix from the original ICS ROM, Sonny's amazing CM7 theme and some of my own work from all over the place! Like the circle battery mod is taken from the online kitchen (or from dGB by SUroot, can't remember where!) and modified to blue and grey by me. Most the notifications have been colour coded to blue by me and when you press menu, I've tried to colour code all those icons to white as well.

It's taken a long time to get to where it is but like I've posted before, I'm keeping my desire for another 8 months or more so want it to be the way I like it :) (and hopefully others do as well!)

[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
Flashed this last night and i'm really impressed with it.

It's super quick. Even booting it up only takes about 10 seconds!

*edit*

Is there any way to change the clock colour to white? I've done theme using the UOT Kitchen and the blue clock doesn't look right.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
I would have thought there's a way to do it in the Kitchen but if not you will need to use APKtool to decompile the framework-res.apk file unfortunately.

You can decompile it and edit the following bit in styles: (under res\values\styles.xml)

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@android:style/Theme">

<item name="android:textSize">14.0sp</item>

<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>

<item name="android:textColor">#ff39b6e7</item> <--------------- change this to ffffffff

</style>

Or you can do it this way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9978779#post9978779

You just need to follow the bit that says notification, date and time (decompiling the systemui.apk file).

Cheers,

Nick
[Desire Android Development] biron_w:
Far too complicated for me :silly: i'll leave it how it is.
[Desire Android Development] charliebigpot:
Excellent work.

I love the symbols of the notification power widget. Just out of curiosity, what exactly did you change/theme regarding the "Holo Launcher"? I've been using the launcher for several weeks now but can't notice any difference.
[Desire Android Development] _cino:
Great work!

Is there a stand alone Lockscreen Music Control patch for oxygen 2.3.2?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] FROGDIVISION:
Tanks for this new Rom and for your work . I try it now.

Is your Rom multi-langages ?
[Desire Android Development] nafdroid:
Can't wait to try it out !

i'm still running your previous rom, and i'm super happy with it. still super quick and rock stable. i hope this new rom is the same. :fingers-crossed:
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
I've only really changed a few things, mainly when you press menu the screen is transparent with a white border, instead of solid grey. Also when you press and hold on an icon, thats transparent and has a white border instead of just being solid grey and also when you go into a folder that's transparent with a white border. I've also made the return to desktop icon in the launcher brighter white and changed the play icon to ics blue instead of the semi-transparent white.

Not big changes but I prefer consistency!

I've not created one no, sorry. But it would be possible to do I'm sure. I think all the changes I made for lockscreen controls are in the framework-res location so a patch would be possible, but I won't be doing one, sorry.

It should be as it's based on the original oxygen / roalex sources and they are multi-language. Please let me know how the lock screen calendar looks because there's a string I changed in values for how the date is displayed, such as:

core/res/res/values/donottranslate-cldr.xml

<string name="abbrev_wday_month_day_no_year">E MMM d</string>

But I ONLY added this to values, not values-es and values-it etc etc so I hope Android will default to english and not crash if there's no language specific change. EG:

core/res/res/values-de/donottranslate-cldr.xml

<string name="abbrev_wday_month_day_no_year">E, d. MMM</string>

I presume it just means the date will be formated in UK format and not Spanish, but should still display correctly. Hopefully someone can let me know or post a screenshot to see if there's any issues.

EDIT: Just changed my language a few times and the lockscreen didn't crash or anything it displayed the date but I'm not sure if it's doing it wrong, but it looked OK but I only speak English unfortunately!

Thanks for your comments, hopefully it doesn't disappoint you!

[Desire Android Development] Robi959:
You will update ROM periodicaly, right ? What kernel you recommend ?
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
If there's a serious bug or update and there's a need to update the Tom then I will do yeah. But I wont be releasing minor graphical changes because the rom is pretty much where I want it graphically.

As for the kernel, I recommend the one that's in the rom as its thalamus' r4 release which is the latest one but has roalex's patch for call recording. If you want things neat you could flash thalamus' standard kernel on top but I expect that would break KSM if you use it (I don't)

Nick
[Desire Android Development] Robi959:
Ok. Im staying on this rom i like it ! Tnx
[Desire Android Development] blackhawk_LA:
Now that you've mentioned it, what are the benefits or using KSM?

I've read a bit about it but, as with compcache, swap and that kind of things, I never find to understand the "pros and cons", and usually dind't feel big differences when enabling and disabling.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
I don't use it to be honest and I would doubt you would find much benefit from turning it on. I think it's mainly for when you're running virtual machines on a single host or if you run lots of similar processes on the same host.

So I imagine if you could make 2 calls at once and put one on hold while talking to the other etc then KSM might be able to use parts of that process and merge them in memory, potentially saving memory (totally hyperthetical here!). However, it's probably very minimal gains versus the time it takes for your phone to keep analysing memory pages to merge them!

And in theory, your phone should release memory used for processes once they've finished so even if you did save memory by using KSM in this hyperthetical situation, when you end both calls you should get the memory used released and back available anyway!

I think it only helps to run / do more things at once rather than get speed benefits because if 2 processes need the same memory page again it will create a copy and you have 2 un-merged pages again and more memory used up.

Someone more techy might provide a better insight but in a phone I would say it's not necessary. On a hyperV server running 20 virtual hosts I would say yes!
[Desire Android Development] bransyeah:
Thanks for this little rom. I think it's simple and pretty so it will probably stay a long time in my phone. I have a doubt though, seems like dalvik is on internal memory. Is there a way to move it to the ext partition?

Thanks in advance
[Desire Android Development] ryanraven:
always with Oxygen based roms that the " Facebook " app never refreshes the circle just keeps spinning :( shame i really wanted to use this rom but i use facebook all the time.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
Which part of Facebook doesn't work? I've never had any problems so far and I'm sure other people would have mentioned it on oxygen based roms. Maybe you need to go to application settings and clear cache or if you haven't done a full wipe I would recommend that if you can. Ideally I would do a full wipe and repartition your SD card with new fat32 and ext4 partitions using gparted as you couldn't be sure nothing isn't being left there if you had a rom that used those partitions previously.

You're right it is but there's a script you can flash from recovery to fix that, though I would prefer it to be internal for speed and performance benefits. But if you want it I'm sure I've seen it posted recently on the mildwild oxygen thread. I'm on my phone posting this but when I'm back on a PC I'll try and look for the link of you don't find it first.

EDIT: I went through MildWild's page for the last 5 pages or so and someone mentions a script to flash by clicking the "wee paper clip" but I don't see no paper clip and the only flashable script I can come up with is:

http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=1166

But that's before Roalex re-released Oxygen with updates so I don't know if that script will work or break anything! So if you try it, do a NAND backup first!
[Desire Android Development] ryanraven:
Say i open facebook and refresh then press the home button the hid the app if i open the application again later on the feed doesn't refresh automatically the circle just keeps spinning in other roms the feed refreshing fine only had this problem in Oxygen based roms.
[Desire Android Development] bransyeah:
Thanks for your answer! Searched a little and flashed this http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=1166 . It works just OK and I'll give a good use of those extra MB.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
No problem at all! And I just updated my original post with that same link just ad you posted this! Quite a coincidence! Glad it works alright for you and you didn't need that nand backup! ;)
[Desire Android Development] bransyeah:
Ok so tried to install an app and playstore says I'm out of space... Don't reccomend that zip at all! Haha I'll have to restore my nandroid finally.

[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
Hi, I have tried t install the rom, looks really nice but I have come across a problem. I use MyBackup Pro and when I try to run it says that Busybox is outdated and needs to be upgraded so I then download and install latest busybox which installs ok but afterwards the phone will no longer boot and stays on the "Why So Serious" screen. So it seems something is not allowing busybox to be upgraded.

My previous rom was standard Oxygen and I had no issue to update busybox. Do you know what could be wrong and how I can fix this?

Thanks would like to try the rom but I am not able to use my backup to restore all apps and data.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
That's a strange one to he honest and you're right, I updated with Stephen busybox updater and my phone stuck on the HTC boot logo. But when I use titanium backup that seems to work fine?!

Someone else with a galaxys2 also mentions in the comments that the updater broke their phone too so maybe its the updater orsomething in the roms that the updater breaks? I'm not sure, sorry :(

The only workaround I can think of is to update busybox before installing this rom. I would get thelatest euroskank cyanogenmod build and copy out the busybox binary from /system/xbin using 7zip and overwrite it in the same location on this rom and see if that fixes it? I don't know if you would need to copy out all the support binaries too that busybox uses or that come with the updater but its maybe worth a shot just updating the 1 file in the xbin folder.

I don't know if this was an issue for other people using roalexs build or whether its a bug with my additions or source code building? Sorry its been a problem for you.
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
Thanks for the response, I will try to look into doing your suggestions and see if I can replace the files before flashing the rom. For the moment I restored by Nandroid of the standard Oxygen to get my phone working again. Will try to migrate to yours as soon as I can find some more free time. Appreciate the quick response
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
I just tested the same thing on Roalex's release based on the 17th April and it does the same on his, so I'm not sure whats wrong / broken but it's the same for his too - so it's not my build thankfully!

I guess it does the same on MildWild's ROM if he bases his on Roalex's release?

I'm going to test my ROM now by copying out the latest busybox file from Cyanogenmod and will let you know if it works.

Nick

UPDATE: The binary from the Euroskank build seems to work fine, so you can follow the instructions I posted previously. I've also attached a copy of the binary to this post (hope that's ok!) and have updated the link in the first post to point to a version of my ROM with the latest BusyBox already installed.

Hopefully this should stop people having issues with MyBackup Pro! (And other apps that need the latest BusyBox - hopefully!).
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
About the busybox update. When I updated on standard Oxygen 2.3.2 using BusyBox Free by Stericson it updated without any issues and the phone reboots just fine. So the program works ok on that Rom version. Not sure if that helps in the investigation. Your Rom looks real nice with the addons you made the base Oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] hheegg:
What bootloader would you suggest?

I use CM7r2 with 145MB system and it shows 30MB free

So Oxygen r2 with 100MB system will not fit?
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
Custom Hboot 125 System

I just created a custom hboot (using Thalamus Hboot Patcher) that works well on this ROM:

Name: Nicks_125:

System 125 / Cache 5 / Data 307

MD5: f7a16b5d1c2653b5656cbeda7f7745e4

If Nick(OP) wants to add this to Post 1 I am happy to share it.

pdroid patch

is there a way to use PDroid on this rom ???
[Desire Android Development] bransyeah:
Thanks mate it worked! So no need for dalvik o on external to have all the MB fun.

2 years with desire and starting to get bored of flashing like a junkie so this rom is really it to stay for a while as even battery life seems pretty ok.

[Desire Android Development] buchman:
I am using pdroid with it, see the 1.31 automatic patcher
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
To be honest I just stick with the CM7r2 version but I might change to a custom HBoot like the one schalmers has created because I can't see me moving from this ROM to anything else really. There's only CM that I like in addition to Oxygen but I've put pretty much all the additional things from CM that I like in this. The only thing missing is the Theme chooser and I don't think I will get time to put that in, plus I've not found any sources or help for it till now.

Thanks very much for posting this :) I might use this myself to be honest because 30MB of wasted space is quite a lot! I usually fill up my /system with applications I use myself but I don't use my phone for much so never end up filling the /data partition!

I'll edit the first post and put this in below the link if others want to try it.

Nick
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
An update on the busybox updating issue.

I replaced busybox from standard oxygen 2.3.2. Also copied the busybox section of updater script into the rom. Tried with thalmus v3 and v4 kernel but still rom will not boot once I update busybox. I am far from a developer so I don't know what else to try.

For the moment I have gone back again to Oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
Sorry to hear none of those ideas worked :(

The only thing you didn't mention is using the busybox I posted earlier or if you redownload the rom now it will have the latest busybox installed, so you shouldn't need to update it, hopefully.

The only thing I can think is breaking it is the symlinks the installer creates might not match up to the locations properly in this rom.

The busybox with the original oxygen is probably quite old so I would try the one I posted above or copy it out of the latest euroskank builds as they use the newest busybox.
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
Thanks Nick, I didn't see your updated post where you had a working busybox. I will use it. Thanks a million :)
[Desire Android Development] thraxage:
Not sure if anyone else noticed or if its just me, but charging the battery takes an incredible amount of time. Didn't have this issue on other roms. Did a full wipe before flashing this as well. Maybe I need to wipe/install again?

Keep up the great work Nick, your theme is a nice addition for people wanting something close to ICS but without the added bugs.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
I put my phone on charge every night before going to bed so can't say I've noticed how long it takes to charge most of the time, but on the odd occasion where I've forgot and charged during the day I've thought it took the same amount of time as any other rom really.

The only thing I can think is your battery might be on its way out or you might need to go through one of the battery calibration guides? A reflash might help but sounds like you did a full wipe anyway.

Only other thing I can think is you tried to charge your phone before it was below 90 percent because this rom wont charge unless your battery is below that level. So it would have taken time to drop below 90 before it started to charge back up again?

Those are the only things I can think of at the moment.
[Desire Android Development] MrUrgit:
This works great - approx 80 apps, 160MB of internal storage used (with SD-ext set as the preferred location for apps).

I have flashed the island3r kernel from the Mildwild thread:

http://www.mediafire.com/?9dddxzm2v3xxfav

It gives you the smartassv2 governor. With the phone running at 245 / 998 MHz it runs quite smoothly - well, mine does anyway.
[Desire Android Development] ducky1979:
Lovig this rom, but can anyone suggest how to sync Facebook photos to contacts, it says it's not possible on this device when you go onto edit,

I've tried sync my pics app, but this doesn't do it properly.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
Thanks for posting this, it's good for people who will want to use the SmartassV2 governor. I personally stick to the ondemand one that's the default but I imagine for some people, this will give better performance / battery life.

I wish I could help with this but I don't use Facebook very often! I just use Google to sync my contacts pictures and they just come back automatically whenever I rebuild and log back into my account.

If someone else has used this or fixed it then it would be good to know for future reference!
[Desire Android Development] MrUrgit:
I have charged my phone from 98% to 100% (the charging cable fell out when I picked it up) without it falling below 90%. I was using the supplied AC charger and not charging via USB from a PC.

Not sure if this because I don't use the default kernel or not.

Edit: But now, after using the phone for a bit and plugging the charger, it says charged @ 98% and shows a green LED, so don't worry about what I said above :p
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
That's strange that once it allowed you to charge when you were at 98% but then on another occasion it didn't!

I would say that changing the kernel would change wether the phone should charge before it's below 90% but if you use the default kernel with this ROM then it shouldn't start charging until the battery is below 90%, assuming the phone and battery are in working condition etc.

But I'm definitely confused as to why it let you charge it once at 98% but then another time it didn't! Unless you changed kernels between both of those times?!
[Desire Android Development] island3r:
Actually all credit goes to _Thalamus, I just added the smartass2 governor :D
[Desire Android Development] andreya108:
Thank you, this is the best looking and one of the fastest GB ROM for Desire (as for me). The only very dissapointing thing is that it has stability issues: it reboots randomly and gps software locks happen.
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
I have been using it for 3 days and no reboots so far. Used GPS for about 45 mins with streaming bluethooth music at same time and all worked perfectly. Have not found a bug yet. Very happy. It is based on Oxygen which is a very stable base.
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
Sorry to hear you've been having problems using the ROM.

This ROM comes over clocked to 1113 MHz by default so maybe your phone can't handle this speed and you might need to set it back down to 998 MHz in the CPU settings?

Did you do a full wipe before installing this ROM? Also, did you restore anything from programs like my backup or titanium backup?

I've not had any issues myself and I don't think anyone else has reported anything so far but I'm happy to try and recreate the same issue as you if you can give me some more details?

Nick
[Desire Android Development] MrUrgit:
I find that if I have my Desire set at 1113 MHz max CPU frequency, I then set the minimum frequency to 384 MHz and the device is a whole lot more stable. Iirc, there was a post on here (XDA) once that said that if you overclock your device, it may not like it if you set the minimum frequency too low.

I think it was maybe because I the cable was only out for a few seconds when I first recharged (picked up phone, cable fell out, plugged back in) so maybe it didn't register the break in charging.

The second time I received a phone call, did a few other things on the phone as well, so it was unplugged for a good 5-10 minutes, and wouldn't recharge until below 90%.
[Desire Android Development] andreya108:
Thanks! This can be the case, I'll try!

Sure.

Nope. Clean install from the play market.

I think it is due to overclocking, I'll try lower cpu clock and then tell you result.

Excelente ROM, I'm using it right now and it works fine!

I'm coming from Oxygen Roaled, so it's almost the same with some good aditions.

Something I don't see is the "Move to SD-EXT" in Manage Apps.. What am I doing wrong?

Best regards.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Just flash Darktremors A2SD and use A2SD Gui from market.
[Desire Android Development] peikojose:
Sorry, could you elaborate more? How can I do that?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] nickabbott:
Thanks for your comments. You have to enable ext by going in to development and ticking mound sd-ext on boot and that should give you the option to move them.

Also, if you ticked this and set the default location to sd-ext then the only time you will see sd-ext as an option is when you try to move a system app or if you click move to phone first, move to sd-ext should appear after.

No need for darktremmor really as roalex did a good job of incorporating the changes in to the rom although I know it was developed by someone else who unfortunately I forget the name right now.
