I got an SLCD desire, so I guess thats the case. But would it be hard to get the old scrlling graphics running in RC4 for us with the 'choppyness'? The phone is as fast as in RC2, just not as smooth. It's not a dealbreaker, but it would be nice to have that smoothess from RC2.

Thanks for giving me abit of insight in the matter :)
[Desire Android Development] toyface:
I have an SLCD model running RC4, not a single problem here, running adw ex
[Desire Android Development] :
24 seems to be the sweet spot for the desire. I'm not exactly sure why to be honest. :)
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
same for me when switching from RC2 to RC3.

Coming from RC3, I wiped the phone completely, wiped SD card (formatted - deleted EXT4 partition, formatted the rest to FAT32, no swap), flashed Oxy HBOOT, booted to recovery, wiped again, just to make sure, flashed RC4.

After first boot, it didn't read my SD card, had to pull it out, back in, and then rebooted. SD card recognized, I restored all my apps with Titanium Backup, and then tried out performance of the ROM.

At first I thought "oh my god, this is EXACTLY as sluggish as RC3", but after 2 hours or so OH MY GOD it's FLYING. could be due to Dalvik Cache garbage collection or whatnot, but whatever you do, giving your phone some time to work is essential, I tell you!

Do you have an SLCD device? these are reported to be more prone to lags (probably cause they can't be s-off'd yet)

what you said! exactly what you said :)
[Desire Android Development] psygbert:
agreed. but unfortunately desire models with erasesize 40000 cannot be s-off yet. so oxygen hboot is impossible for now on those models. putting dalvik-cache in sd or /cache is one of the best option to save space.

but again, they can simply edit the script via recovery to enable dalvik-cache in sd-ext again :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] superliam:
prob just repeating what everone else has said, Very fast and Very smooth
[Desire Android Development] mikkelwe:
The in-call volume is still a bit too loud.

Tried the latest vorkKernel (But isn't that the default already?)
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
guys what if, i'm using the oxygen hboot and i wanted to go back to 1.0.4?
[Desire Android Development] Kendoji:
I seem to remember some people successfully using the similar data++ table, in which case it would probably work.
[Desire Android Development] twogubs:
Then you would have to flash a different hboot,as the oxygen one is optimised for that rom.I hope that is correct-somebody will correct me if it is wrong.

N1 Table was the one recommended at that time so flash that.
[Desire Android Development] str355:
yep, i used data++ for all previous versions of Oxygen along with other roms, up until RC4 when the oxygen boot table arrived.
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
i think so too. the one that move the cache to data is the RC4 right? so the hboot partition shouldnt have any trouble. but wait, if 1.0.4 didnt move cache to data, wouldnt it be insufficient for the cache partition?
[Desire Android Development] LuffyPSP:
ok the cache partition is the same. but how bout the system partition? would that make any difference?
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
i did that allready

everything was ok except the market

had several sudden crashes even without using it before

dont know if thats related to the oxy table or something....
[Desire Android Development] Lars8000:
I´ve searched the tread, but there are so many about Oxygen HBoot. Just need a link or guide to, how to apply the Oxygen HBoot on my Desire running RC4 and S-Off.

Is it possible to do without SDK?
[Desire Android Development] Kendoji:
alpharev.nl + there are several in-depth guides on how to do this on xda, this is always a good place to start:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809328
[Desire Android Development] crzyorc:
so let me see if I understood correctly.

(currently I have ex3 partition on my SD card)

If i wipe all the cache and data from the SD card (including formatting the SD card) and the phone itself.

and then I'll do the s-off and flash the oxygen from AlphaRev.

when I'll install the oxygen ROM. I don't need any more the app2sd ?
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
you dont need the sdk

check this tool here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
first you have to get rid off your sd-ext partion

set it to 0mb and swap 0 with amonra,then format the card...

if you wiped everything, flashed the oxygen hboot ,flash rc4 and you dont need a2sd anymore...
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
more than 24 hours are past using consecutively RC4 and I confirm this is the right way to reach the official release

graphic smoothness seems at 1st sight slower than RC2 (the fastest in my opinion) & probably this is true, but after removing the ext partition on sdcard I found that in some circumstances, for ex exploring sdcard file trough a file explorer, the overall speed is really increased

for sure caching technique is changed between RC2 & RC3 so it's highly recommended to don't turn off the phone, in fact after more than 24 hours of heavy usage (I dont' sleep very much) device smoothness is exactly the same without any kind of errors, issues, or whatever in the meanwhile

this branch of rom will be almost perfect with new video driver integration, so I'm really satisfied with OX. thx Adam :cool:

a small note: I use to wipe everything before every upgrade, for wiping I mean clear data/cache + dalvik + battery status
[Desire Android Development] Kendoji:
Yep I had some glitches running RC1-RC3, but RC4 seems to be smoother and more reliable - no weird behaviour yet whatsoever. :)

@Lars8000

Hello. This is how i've done my hboot image flash :

0. Make shure to have your backups for the Apps or for the entire OS. I preffered to reinstall the entire ROM, so have the oxygen rom on the sd-card, maybe a radio too.

1. Install on windows HTC Sync http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx? p_id=312&act=sd&cat=all because you need some drivers for the phone.

2. Reboot into recovery, your computer might install the usb driver automatically .

3. Turn off phone.

4. You will need the Android SDK for the fastboot.exe and some dll . Download this folder http://jump.fm/QGBEN

5. Unzip the folder.

6. Start Command Prompt in windows and go into the folder Tools that you just unzipped (type for exampla "D:" and "cd Tools" to enter folders).

7. Start your phone by pressing back-button and power-button (now some driver will be probably installed ).

8. now in the Command Prompt, in Tools run this commands (the img is already in the tools folder):

"fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img"

now wait and after it finishes

"fastboot reboot-bootloader"

and

"fastboot erase cache"

9. Now boot into recovery from the bootloader, wipe everything and recover or reinstall the oxygen rom.

---------------------------------------------

I hope it helps, good luck.

My desire has a new life now, is not the same phone anymore, with hboot i have all the space i need an the rom is fantastic and very very fast.
[Desire Android Development] Lars8000:
Should i start up in bootloader?

And then open android flasher and find the bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img and flash it?

Or am i doing something wrong???
[Desire Android Development] crzyorc:
thanks.

I'm running Clockwork recovery.

can I remove the sd-ext with Clockwork ?

Don't forget to check MD5

When I try recording video with the Camera application it crashes with this message:

Sorry!

The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Just taking pictures work fine but not recording video. I have a 32GB card with plenty of space left.

I have RC4 installed, experienced the same problems in RC3.

Has anybody else experienced similar problems? What could I try to solve it?

Other than that Oxygen v2.0 rc3 to 4 has been running great on my phone, really like it =)
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
yes, you have to boot into bootloader

but s-off is required for flashing a different hboot table....

and very importanttttttttttttttttttttt

check always the md5 sum before flashing a hboot table...

otherwise your phone ist im arsch lol..

I am S-Off.

Just did it, but can´t see any different (still HBOOT-0.93.0001)

How do i check md5 sum?

Do i have to format the sdcard before flashing?
[Desire Android Development] maassk213:
Maybe I missed this somewhere among the million posts recently!

I tried to 'upgrade' my RC2 install by installing RC4 (with a cache and dalvik wipe). Everything went well (except for Talkback/Soundback etc failing to install). However, Quick System Info now shows my entire card as Cache Space and my free internal memory reduced drastically!

I did not use the Oxygen HBOOT (to be able to experiment with other ROMs too). It is absolutely essential to use the Oxy HBOOT table for RC4? I want to continue using A2SD as with RC2.

Do I have a way out? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

Here are the steps :

1. place your right hand in the air

2. look at it

3. move your right hand in fast motion until it meets your face

4. repeat step 1 to 3 at least 10 times.

start the tool, select the image, copy the md5 sum of the table from alpharev and compare it...

Sorry for the stupid question but what's the use of. Hboot update and s-off
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
HTC implemented security on their newer generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has

it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticeably, S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, secuflag controls whether zip files being flashed through recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC.

The now notorious S-OFF (security off) will disable this NAND security.

Since we are unable to access the Radio NVRAM itself (where secuflag is stored), we turned our attention to HBOOT.

AlphaRev has patched HBOOT images for several phones, whereas the HTC Desire (GSM) was our first victim.
[Desire Android Development] vaflen:
I have an AMOLED display. Time has not improved the speed. I wiped dalvik before and after each flash just to be paranoid.
[Desire Android Development] slashroot:
Thanks for sharing that useful piece of knowledge with me.
[Desire Android Development] chandler3224:
Hey all. Have just switched to Oxygen after some research and I have to say, its amazing. Its so bloody quick! I may switch to the HTC keyboard however, but time will tell.

One question though, has anyone been receiving multiple "welcome to nexus s" emails? I receive them every time I access the market or turn on the phone. I'm using a Google apps account if that helps.

Hope someone sees this, I've never seen such a massive thread. Cheers.

Edit: holy crap, this thread moves quick. also, cropping wallpapers seems to reduce the quality. Anyone else?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
please try to understand... this issue was reported million of times, anyway your error is common with all ginger releases/beta/or whatever

we are all waiting a new port from google ;)

For those wanting to perform file checksum on their device, you can simply use the md5sum command in a terminal emulator.

Type md5sum with an open space suffix, directly followed by the path to the file in question, then return.
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
did you only wipe dalvik cache or really EVERYTHING? what recovery do you use?
[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
Great little piece of work. I was writing this myself too. Especially "You will need the Android SDK for the fastboot.exe and some dll . Download this folder http://jump.fm/QGBEN" is very useful. I installed the JDK and Android SDK yesterday and was thinking someone should make this file. This should be on the Alpharev page. Maybe parts of this can be used by in @potter1984 Oxygen FAQ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882758?. I've send him a PM.

And yes there should be a check MD5 between the steps 7 and 8 (via @TheGhost1233).
[Desire Android Development] pappalove:
installed r4 and about 20 apps and internal mem is showing 20mb!!! is this correct
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
it's easy also from windows

1. connect you phone as usb host/disk & backup your sd card content

2. right click on "Computer", then "manage", go down under disks

3. remove both partition from sdcard letter (for ex. F:\) & create a new one bigger

4. format trough sd-formatter v2 from Panasonic (it's a freeware)

5. restore your sd card content

ps: perhaps it's enough formatting trough sd-formatter V2

Another nice one for the FAQ. A "how te remove the EXT partition".

Flashed my phone few hours ago. Works fine. Didn't crash once, my phone boots in less than a minute, all the apps are running smooth. But, what I don't like is the fact that it doesn't have trackball wake. Will you add it to the next version of the rom?
[Desire Android Development] :
People can delete, but it's easily reverted on google docs...which I just did. Haha. That'll teach them to waste their time deleting it. :)
[Desire Android Development] dunny_:
Its running really smooth for me. Great rom thankyou.

After some more research im looking forward to trying s-off

3) No, thats a CM feature unless someone has done an icon mod which shows percentages

4) See the first post.

For the Barttery % have a look into my signature to get another BlackBar to flash via Rom manager or directly in recovery

And if you prefer to keep the stock top bar and notification pull down you can give this a go http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KRG6Y8S9

It's simply the default bar of 0.2 test build, themed with a few icons espresso mod style (3d circle battery and all that stuff). This one won't change boot animation btw, nor the themed parts added by Adam to the latest (test) build :)
[Desire Android Development] shaolin79:
Perfect !

Added to shaolin spreadsheet :)

And also going to try right now ! :D

EDIT : Tested and very good looking => Is-it possible (how) to change the notification pull down for a transparent one ?
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Yeah i would prefer it transparent too, but for some reason looks like it's not possible to sort this atm: i heard that the one in default theme should have been transparent too, but ended up being white..i just can't figure out what is bugging there :(

I/O errors in sd-ext

I have a very odd problem.

I tried to update adobe flash but it failed with the following from logcat:

E/installd( 131): dexopt cannot open '/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk@classes.dex' for output

W/PackageManager( 154): Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk

looking at /data/dalvik-cache i saw this I/O error.

# ls -l

ls: ./data@app@com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk@classes.dex: I/O error

# pwd

/sd-ext/dalvik-cache

#

i am unable to delete the file using "rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk@classes.dex" see below for more information.

# rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk@classes.dex

rm: can't stat '/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk@classes.dex': I/O error

#

I have also tried to delete it using recovery and mounted the device but none helped. Using google there is not much information about I/O errors in sd-ext. :confused:

I then uninstalled adobe flash and tried to install it but I still get the error, and I am still unable to delete the file causing the error. And now I am left with out flash :(

I am not sure this has anything to do with Oxygen, but if any of you guys / girls have had the same problem please help me.

Big big thanks in advance.

And last but not least Big thanks to Adam for making this wonderfull rom.

Surely the fact ur going from froyo to gingerbread and u have to root the phone to do it its not gonna have HTC stuff...

Adams done a great job and who cares about a video camera on a phone? Go back to the factory rom then.

If u don't understand something why r u doing it!

I searched all the last pages and I couldn't find this issue addressed..

Since installing RC4, a lot of apps on the market give me a "installation/update unsuccessful".. This goes for new apps, or for ones I try updating.

I'm still using the N1Table Hboot, because when I tried to install the oxygen one I couldn't get past the htc logo afterwards..

I haven't had any similar issues with the past releases.

What could I be doing wrong here? Is it because of the "wrong" hboot?

Thank you

Hi all,

Just FYI, Sygic replied back to be very quickly indeed to advise the current software doesnt yet work with Gingerbread. However they have sent me a beta version to test on my phone, and this version installs and runs fine. I have fed this back to them along with some other info, and going to continue testing it over the next few days. So looks like they will be releasing an official update for Mobile Maps 10 at some point soon! :)

[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
sorry, my bad
[Desire Android Development] brbbX:
thank you for your kind answer, but I have already read the changelog and it didn't say that it would not work without the oxygen hboot.

could've been easier for you to just tell me that
[Desire Android Development] akp982:
With the standard HTC Hboot stuff it works perfect... I have no reason to hboot or s-off my device so i havn't.

So its not a problem with the rom its self its a compatibility and u find any rom or software which gives details on its compatibility with every version of everything.
[Desire Android Development] netomx:
You probably downloaded an early copy of RC4. Redownload and reflash.

well, you just dont need a2sd anymore cause you have 300mb internal storage for apps, right?

if 300mb arent enough for somebodys needs, he still needs a2sd, correct? is there any disadvantage while using a2sd with the oxygen hboot? does it even work?^^
