Not updated the hboot or s-off. Running very well, can update from the market etc, no problems at all. Loving the rom, very swish. Keep up the great work.
[Desire Android Development] rickflits:
i have 1 thing that is not working annymore til last update,

when i start to dowload new stuf out of the market it starts to dowload but than stops with it and nothing happens

anny way to fix the market bug becous i also cant instal 2.6.6 i found on the web
[Desire Android Development] emdzej:
I'm currently using Oxygen RC4 with Oxygen HBOOT AND with app2sd as I didn't wipe after migrating to hboot, so still have some apps on ext partition and no issues with that config.
[Desire Android Development] emdzej:
Did you download the LATEST version or RC4 possible? Adam reuploaded it 2 or 3 times after publishing it for the first time. If you're unsure, redownload it and flash. If you will not wipe, you keep all your apps and data.

Follow adamg_xda on twitter to always have latest status on the rom.
[Desire Android Development] 7pellc:
Delete me please.
[Desire Android Development] potter1984:
The command on the FAQ are more than enough if you cannot work out the rest you really should not be attempting S-OFF or rooting in general

may i know how to sync with the HTC Sync? It seems can't detect my phone. I need to sync back the contact list.
[Desire Android Development] gubacsek:
Hi! First of all thank you for this awesome rom! It is really the best out there!!!

I have a few requests though, and if you implement them, I will be very thankful!

1. I miss the power control in the notification area as it was in 1.0.4. Could you please add it in the next release?

2. There is a common HTC sickness of the wifi, if you turn off the screen, the network gets unusably slow, make it impossible to listen to streaming music from a cifs share. I read some thread here at XDA, someone had a solution.

3. This last request would be the most important for me. I would like it to be possible, to set the phone lock timeout (and to set it to 4-5 hours at least). Sense roms have a setting in security "lock phone after" , to set a phone lock timeout,but maximum to15 minutes (if you set a lock password). Can you please add this to your magnificent rom (if I set a password,the phone gets locked if I turn off the screen., so there is no timeout) ?

Thanks! And keep up the good work! It makes many people happy!
[Desire Android Development] mmzdaniel:
I have a pretty dumb question.

Why should I move from stock 2.2 to Oxygen 2.3?

I really want to try this ROM, my first custom ROM, but I don't know if theres a point to that. I need to know more first O=
[Desire Android Development] SpaceK33z:
Really, is it so hard to use Google? Just search for an Android 2.3 changelog!!

It's fast, has a new interface and it's new so it's cool anyway.
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
lol win :D
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
wow this is nice. 24 pages today and only couple of useful posts. we shoud create another tread("ask retarded questions about oxygen")
[Desire Android Development] nulry:
before i flash into this rom, when i plug the usb cable to the computer, it has 4 options, but now it no longer have other choices, just have the USB charging. How can I syth it with HTC sync? thx~~~ very urgent~~
[Desire Android Development] emdzej:
Besides that, for me it's cool because it has built-in SIP support that works :) Oh.. and the new stock keyboard kicks ass (especially with new text selection features)!
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
you cant do that becaause this is non sense rom
[Desire Android Development] mmzdaniel:
I already checked it out... I think I didn't phrase myself right.

I meant, How is this ROM different from the official releases/other roms?

What makes it stand out of the crowd?

Thanks for answering anyways though :)
[Desire Android Development] Semicuda:
How about reading a little, the first post has a pretty concise description of the properties of this specific ROM. Compare it to other ROM threads, read a little more... try some different ones and come back to the one you like most.

How do you think we got to know this stuff?
[Desire Android Development] pepperon:
Ahhh I have just finished catching up this thread for the last 3-4 days on and off reading over 70 pages or more due to quick updates from adam and the team. I feel up-to-date now...or maybe not...this thread without someone actively clean up the mess and repeated messages and questions is not cool. Perhaps people should stop responding to same questions and 'silly' comments and just ignore these people and then they will be forced to search! Seriously you can find more than 1 solution to any problem anyone has faced re. oxygen. It's logical too, you search for an answer to your problem you don't just go and ask and do the first thing that someone’s told you. A little research broadens you knowledge. Google it.

Now everyone wants to have oxygen rom and have an s-ff and also the custom partition table, in other words all the technicalities but have no idea about md5sum and .img format. Go back to your nokia 3310 and be happy.

On another note, great job and development on the rom. Super fast and smooth. Really can't wait for the stable version. Its very unique.

I also want to say how much I admire people who support this thread and share their technical knowledge and expertise with us simple users. U know who you are, not going to mention any names.

cheers

this year looks promising. ;)
[Desire Android Development] emdzej:
You can't. Simply. HTC Sync is HTC's stuff. As this is an AOSP rom (Android Open Source Project), compiled from sources, not modded HTC rom, you don't have HTC programs, providers and other bloatware. You can always use sync features of your google account, and than sync it back with outlook and so on. But forget about using HTC Sync with AOSP roms.

You won't have sense ui, sense widgets and others.
[Desire Android Development] twallden:
Looks great, i'll return when video recording is working.
[Desire Android Development] jonmall1441:
I have not seen anyone else with this issue so maybe I am the only one but Talkback, soundback and kickback won't install. The error message is not very helpful either "Unkown reason -8".

I trid installing from the market and the google apps installation in settings. Still no luck they download but fail at installing. Thanks guys and please do not pounce on me if its been posted i did search... promise :P
[Desire Android Development] 10lexik:
That's a constructive post !!! :)

Like you i really appreciate such support on an open source project and such good developpers sharing their project :D

And like you again i'm disappointed about the non-moderation of this topic, we can't even read answers of ppl's questions due to too many (for 1 usefull you got 20 useless) posts !

And for Oxygen, after trying a lot of roms, for me it's the best rom for the HTC Desire, thanx again adam's team working on this :D
[Desire Android Development] randomelements:
This has already been covered a few times. This is not a HTC ROM so HTC sync will NOT work.

Someone made a suggestion a few pages back about export to .csv file etc. so search for that.

I just keep my contacts as Google Contacts - never use Outlook anymore - so no problems irrespective of ROM.
[Desire Android Development] emdzej:
That's for sure, couldn't agree more!

Hm... and I've a question. Does anybody know a simple way to move back all the data from ext to /data (aka get rid of app2sd+). Or the only way is to wipe and install from scratch?
[Desire Android Development] 10lexik:
I think you can do that with titanium backup, i saw the option but didn't try it ^^
[Desire Android Development] mdgrgic:
please help me...i love this rom, but the app2sd+ isn't working.how to fix it?

i have only about 115mb free after flash

heeeeelp...
[Desire Android Development] rickflits:
i have go to the app that instals updates and reinstalled rc4 but stil same problem, before rc4 i coud just dowloud normal, is there a chance it wil be fixed in rc5?
[Desire Android Development] akp982:
I think I just laughed so hard I peed a little lol think people also get confused between the hboot and the rom...
[Desire Android Development] akp982:
Delete the cahced update and download it again! To save time the updater keeps downloaded versions.

Or download and flash it urself
[Desire Android Development] emdzej:
Will check it, thx for the hint.

Obviously people should search, but these kinds of belittling in-crowd statements don't help anyone. Everyone starts somewhere. I didn't understand any of this until a few weeks ago, and it was daunting at first. I agree with you for the rest though.
[Desire Android Development] Nitrius:
Should i install the AlphaRev Oxygen HBOOT before or after i flash this rom? And which recovery is recommended? Am currently using ClockworkMod.
[Desire Android Development] BumAround:
Maybe, just maybe.....:D
[Desire Android Development] aslsthlm:
Before and wipe after...
[Desire Android Development] superdioz:
i love this rom but me and a friend have a problem i tried RC2 and RC4, my friend tried RC3 and RC4 and with all of them we cant reach the end of the day, the battery is drain by screen (too much brightness) and by phone, in flight mode is perfect, only 2% in 10 hours so now i'm back to aurax 8.2 where i can reach 2 days of normal use.

let me know if we are wrong but the battery drain is a big problem.
[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
It's not just the new users. Another problem is that tech people write tech help pages. They could write more text for dummies ;)

I know my way around computers and phones but when it says "fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img" like it says ons http://alpharev.nl/ and there is no word of an Android SDK I do understand people get confused.

The FAQ helps a lot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882758

Furthermore it could mention in the start post that the camera is not working for example. Lets just say users should search more and coders should write more ;)
[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
Can anyone recommend an App/Widget that displays the time/weather similar to how Sense displays? Identical design would be best :P

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] ptimothyp:
Hi,

I have problems with the YouTube app it crashes and doesn't start at all, does anyone else face this problem?

Foursquare app is not able to use the network or GPS to find the location.

Does anyone have a similar issue?
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
You can't have an identical one, because its copyright of HTC. Fancy widget is a nice alternative imho
[Desire Android Development] kiankhoon:
yeah, i have the same problem too.
[Desire Android Development] pepperon:
Can't help it, it looks belittling in-crowd statement by its nature, it's true though.

I wish everyone was like you, you searched and found all the necessary information about s-off, routing etc because everything is out there. Didn't see you asking questions that have been answered in the forum in the past. Everyone can do that. I have done it too and don't consider myself clever.

peace ;)
[Desire Android Development] ptimothyp:
Think the paid version of "Beautiful Widgets" has some weather and Clock Widgets.
[Desire Android Development] giese9:
how long is your guys battery life?
[Desire Android Development] superdioz:
you should use the older version of fancy widget, 1.3.0, it was the exact copy of the sense clock/weather widget, it was removed from the market due to legal issue but you can easily find the apk by google ;)
[Desire Android Development] markeh:
Hi, i love the rom but i'm having a nooby problem, can someone please point out what i'm doing wrong?

I wiped everything, formatted the sd and flashed like any other rom the rc4 version. But after a while it seems i can no longer access the sd card, just after flashing i was able to install apps on the sd card, but now i get sd card unmounted or not present in es file explorer, camera etc - although the apps on the sd card still work.

Before flashing the sd card was formatted to - swap 32 size 512 ext3

Is that the problem? I see a lot of replies on this thread about s-off and removing ext - have i missed something important, and i cannot flash this rom like others?

Any advice would be appreciated :)
[Desire Android Development] superdioz:
SHORT!

less than one day: too short, i just restored the nandroid of aurax 8.2

a friend has the same problem, he restored the miui, with both of them we reach two days of normal use.

i wait for future release of this rom because its awesome but the battery drain is an huge problem.
[Desire Android Development] gilibs:
Ok - so i like to experiment and i installed the new ROM (RC4) and here are my impressions:

- Delvik cache not on sd-ext is bad, i've got left 60M free space and i didn't installed much apps, i rather have things moving a bit slowly than having to worry about missing space (in my opinion hight priority - move back to sd-ext)

- Video recorder crashes

- Trackball wake is REALLY missing!!! (please please please add it :-) - (in my opinion extremely high priority - this is really annoying specially after getting used to work with the trackball)

- Loop booting happened once (a reboot helped)

- It would be great if the mail app could be hacked not to enforce pin code

- Hebrew suggestions on keyboard and mail app is written backwards i assume same would apply to arabic (less urgent)
[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882758. Especially the part about s-off (more details:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805811) en HBoot (if you dont have the Android SDK i suggest you use this: www.jump.fm/QGBEN). Just follow the steps (and remove the Ext partition, you wont be needing in any more and with HBoot is't faster too).
[Desire Android Development] xorcist:
Hi, I'm new here and rooted my phone with Unrevoked3 and flashed Oxygen 2.0-RC4 last night. I couldn't get Market (2.12) to work though. It simply wouldn't download or install anything.

I tried using the adb shell after an adb remount to delete the Vending.apk from system/app but kept getting this error: rm: can't remove 'system/app/Vending.apk': Directory not empty

Finally I was able to find a flashable Market 2.2.7 though, and by putting it on my SD card, booting into recovery (clockwork), I was able to flash this zip and then clear the dalvik cache.

Upon reboot Market now works perfectly! :D

Flashable zip file is attached, hopefully it will help someone else before it gets lost in this highly active thread.

Oh, and thanks for the work being put into this ROM!

Try Weather & Toggle Widget. When you get it, launch the app, go to Widget Skin Wizard, then Download skins from server (not market), for each of clock and weather download one of the skins, then install and there you go - something pretty much identical.
[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
Thanks for replies guys, Fancy Widget 1.3.0 seems to be working great for now.
[Desire Android Development] TheGhost1233:
Don't know exactly what you were expecting but A2SD+ is probably working fine. Do some reading on what A2SD+ is and how it works cause you won't see more space for the internal memory.

One other thing, can I remove the A2SD script from system/ect/init.d and have the same effect as removing the ext partition from the sd card? Or will this mess things up and is it better to just remove the ext partition?
[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
No :( See the Bug/Feature request tracker for details

Hi fellows!

This thread has serious issues. IMO the many ruud and arrogant answers to noobs is by far the worst. Quite frankly, such a tone is not in line with ethics of The Open Source Community!

On the other hand, things are a mess around here. It is difficult to find good and uptodate info. The cause of this is obvious; too many users inputting to many comments. A single thread is no longer suitable. Hence, some of the pros here should get an online forum up dedicated to oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] pesho00:
I have reinstalled it from the market and it works now.
[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
Dont forget to clean download cache when you do this.
[Desire Android Development] bob808:
ok, this is probably a stupid question, but can this be installed without rooting the phone?

I use my desire with access to my work emails, and there is a strict policy about not using with rooted devices..

I have made a goldcard, and can use this to install stock firmwares to de-brand my tmobile handset, but would like to try one of these roms...

Is this going tobe possible - it looks like i have to root to flash a recovery image.. am I wasting my time looking at this, or is it something I can do, and if so how?

Thanks

bob

I installed Launcher Pro but can't set it as default (using Home Switcher). Problem is that after reboot it "forgets" all the default. The same with keyboard, email and sms apps.

What can be wrong? Permissions?

[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
A wiki would be better for help and faq so everybody can keep help treads up to date. That this would be q/a only instead of a big FAQ too.
[Desire Android Development] rcbmulder:
have u partitioned ur SD card (using clockwork mod)? or booting into recovery and doing it that way? or using gpart (on unix)... 512megs seems to be ample for most people. thats all i did and every single oxygen rom picks the apps2sd up as being ok..
[Desire Android Development] paamet:
I like the idea of a wiki, good point. Allthough, I also think that some communication, such as discussion of possible bugs, work better in forums with multiple dedicated threads. Ideally, we should have something like Ubuntus Launchpad.
[Desire Android Development] daniel.mitran:
unfortunately root is required

I was experiencing poor battery life with the RCs, then I wiped the battery stats and its back to the usual oxygen battery life of great. I've been using my phone pretty damn heavy since 8 this morning, it's only JUST dipped below 30 per cent. This is so much better than any sense based ROM I have used, including Auraxt
[Desire Android Development] daniel.mitran:
this happens to me when I have a luncher installed on the sd card (Froyo style) instead of internal memory

[Desire Android Development] memphisuklf:
Guys, sorry if this has been answered and it is a noobs question. Tried the search but with all sorts of questions being asked I can't seem to find anything.

Currently got RC4 running on my desire and is working great( all be it with a lot less internal memory, why is that?).

Now question is what are the benefits of S-off and the custom table. Does this just give you more internal memory or will this speed up the phone. New to all this and trying to learn as i`m going.

Any help appreciated.
[Desire Android Development] kaldean:
i really appreciate your help its this part that i dont get entirely and cant seem to understand i hope you can help me with a step by step

[Desire Android Development] Audioboxer:
My phone seems to have issues obtaining an IP address from my router with RC4 :(
[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
No it's going to fast for that. Look at the post beneath your last post "Tried the search but with all sorts of questions being asked I can't seem to find anything." Furthermore, FAQ's are maintained by one, where wiki's are maintained by all, which makes them more flexible and up to date by default. You also can deeplink to headings within a wiki article or category which is not possible in posts.

no wonder adam doesn't post that much here in the thread. it's became a meeting points for all the noobs and people who are too damn lazy to do a little bit on their own... seeing the last couple of days is pretty painful to be honest. the easiest things are asked 1000 times here, and the obvious things, which are ALL stated in the bugtracker are raised 300 times. sad the thread went down the drain :/

[Desire Android Development] mark_v:
Adam should be proud that so many people are supporting and loving his work. It even attracts people totally new to rom flashing. And with so many people posting the forum is going fubar because search is to difficult and people are enthusiastic.

The start post should list the big things that do not work. People should not have to go to a bug tracker to see what a rom does not do by default (video camera for example).

What he said, or go WIKI.
