Link to an update.zip: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9116000&postcount=873

On my phone I have about 30MiB left on /data (without the dalvik-cache) and the dalvik-cache is about 50MiB in size. So /data would have been full if I haven't moved dalvik-cache to /cache.
[Desire Android Development] :
The dalvik cache sits in 2 places on AOSP, /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache.

The /cache/dalvik-cache is for the apps that reside in /system/app and the /data/dalvik-cache is for the apps that reside in /data/app.

So yeah, having a dalvik-cache folder on both would be normal.

As you already pointed out, you can move the one in /data/ to /cache/ with that script. :)
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Nope, it's not a bug:

The framework-res.apk has changed, so using old themes (for 0.2) will cause that bug :)
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
Ok

I use the data++ table

Bit more space.

How to use the script?

Flash and ready?

Thx
[Desire Android Development] gippy2:
Yeah, just letting others know not to put a previous status bar on.
[Desire Android Development] :
You'll need to search the thread for information on the script. I posted an update.zip.
[Desire Android Development] gazbea:
Would there be any benefits/downsides to removing the Google apps (Maps, GMail, etc) and allowing us to install them from the market?

Would make it a smaller package and mean that we could update the apps as Google release them which in turn would mean less work for you AdamG when you have to update your ROM to reflect the new updates.

Keep up the good work... Will be moving to Oxygen when I get chance to move away from OpenDesire :)

Space taken up on data when there's so much free space in system?
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Well that was meant to save space on the phone storage... anyway having n1table and ext partition this sounds like a good idea to me, since i have more than enough room for the apps:)

Maybe we could have them also as a separate flashable package, for who really wants them on system for some reason...

[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Nup. I think most people on test have the partition table applied. As you've already redownloaded it, i'd say clear EVERYTHING in recovery, try again, and use the ROM in its virgin state for a while. Then try loading your applications back onto it. Also consider one of the many alternative kernels mentioned in the thread.

Edit: slight possibility you have an issue with your partitions. Check the md5 of your partition image and try reapplying it. Also, run the fixes scattered around in Clockwork.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
+1.

i also use oxygen hboot for test rom and even test kernel (:p) . No problem with that. What i can add to already excellent logicalextreme advise : if all else still fail : reformat your sdcard completely , and if you wish to have ext partition (not necessary), try to do it from gparted (which almost 100% ensure trouble-free partition).

there are times when reformatting and ensuring your sd card is empty save the day :)

BL
[Desire Android Development] huawuban:
Thanks 4 answer;). But before i proceed, another newb question: is the unpacked size of the zip exactly the size of the rom which will be installed?

I just checked that the test.zip unziped will be about 91mb and the rc6 is about 80 mb.
[Desire Android Development] Drakones:
how i can enable a2sd+ on oxygen 2 rc6?
[Desire Android Development] huawuban:
Partition image is checked ok. Reapplied the image. And then I klick almost everything like format or wipe in the Clockwork. permission also fixed. And reformatted my sd card....

But still cannot boot up. During the installing, the progress bar doesn't move. After about 2 min, it says the installation is completed.

And still get the alpharev screen.....

charma problem?:(
[Desire Android Development] spaboleo:
Yep, done...but still not entirly clear to me and I don't understand why everybody is "that happy" with the solution?

Loading all apps from ext3 (A2SD+) worked fine with a nearly endless amount of apps. Now, with A2SD (and the whole HBOOT-fiddling as an alternative), I am not able to install half of the apps I use regularly and productivly.

I can't believe that all Oxygen users are now running customized partition tables...
[Desire Android Development] huawuban:
ok, I actually applied the sense HBoot with larger /system. But still cannot get the test build installed.

I'm thinking, may the problem be the PVT4 desire?
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Make sure you can still install rc6. Not sure about this one...I'll grab an md5 of my test ROM tomorrow so we can make sure nothing's up with that.

As for the sizes...test is pretty different from rc6. Different launcher, the news and weather application, a theme changer and an extra theme, as well as the usual tweaks and feature differences. I'd be worried if they were the same size :)

Not sure about unpacked size vs size on your phone though. Different things will go to different partitions, and when you first boot your phone will start caching, which will use up a bit more space. Conversely, there may be scripts that run one time during installation or first boot that don't stay on your phone, or delete some files once they're no longer needed. I don't have a clue what actually happens during a ROM installation so I can't say! Don't worry though, with the partition table you won't run out of space any time soon.
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Quite possible. I remember there were warnings on the alpharev site about the pvt4 -- check there first. Unfortunately I'm not on a pvt4 so I can't say that test works on them.
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Search again. There are 3 types of a2sd: Android, a2sd and a2sd+. This ROM has the middle one, you don't need the third one with the partition resize and...just forget the first one, it's not worth it. Never move an app to SD through the Android interface. They don't mix and match. Now, get to Googling :)

Edit: most are happy with it because it's better. This ROM doesn't include Sense. That frees up a whole ton of space in /system, but that space is wasted because the ROM is so small. So the partition tables take that space back for your apps to use. A2SD+ is bad on slow cards, so things will run faster using normal A2SD.

Consider this: with A2SD+ and Sense, I constantly ran out of space for applications because of /data filling up. Since resizing, I've probably installed twice as many applications and have never seen a "low on space" message. If you don't resize, you are wasting a lot of very fast nand storage. The only efficient alternative would be to flash your applications to /system as well, but that would be both annoying and against the point of Oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] huawuban:
Well, alpharev works well on my phone (rc6 works with no problem on it). But also should the new test build of oxygen. It doesn't really make sense if the older version is compatible with pvt4 and the newer test build not.......:confused:

Anyway it's really puzzling and frustrating....

But thank you again for all your help!
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
We're not really meant to be using it. It is a testers' rom...it could be a minute bug for all we know.

In-call volume too high with Oxygen v2.0-RC6 + stock kernel issue posted on the tracker.

Issue 550: http://code.google.com/p/oxygen-rom/issues/detail?id=550
​

Star the issue if you experience it with the above setup and want it fixed.

Please don't spam that place or post anything useless there (like +1, me too, etc - vote for it there instead).

You're right... I should be clearer. I had seen them and the old bug tracker issues. All were closed for v2.0 focus :)

Most of them were 1.x related. I ignored everything before v2.0 RC3 and before the modern kernels by _thalamus which incorporate many changes.

I specifically looked for "others around me can hear the caller" as that is the issue I'm experiencing and is an obvious problem. I ignored random, unexplained, unfollowed and unquantified decries of "too loud". Too loud doesn't really offer me enough information or if there's a problem beyond subjectiveness/sensitivity. If people want issues fixed, they need to explain the problem properly.

I stick to stock kernels always. I know about other kernels fixing it as that's what I used with OD months back and it's easy enough doing so but a) I'd like to assist devs of this ROM first b) the kernel on this ROM works brill in every other respect and it's what matters to me. I would hate to change it.

The fella who posted the modified BFS kernel was RC5. The same one causing me bootloops and lag, which was resolved in RC6. So it's a no go for me. Thanks for the heads up.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
well, it's a test rom, so it actually make sense that it might work or it might not. It's actually only for designated testers only. Of course, public are welcome to use it, but if there are bugs, then there might not be clearcut way to solve it . Let's just say, it is our own issue for flashing the test rom in the first place ;)

i myself use test rom for few days, now i have reverted back to rc6 due to some issues i found. Of course, you wouldn't see me putting the issues in the forum here , because in the end, it's a test rom. i just keep note of it privately and then flash back the latest stable ones ;)

BL
[Desire Android Development] huawuban:
Well, then, just sit back and wait for RC7 quietly......:o
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
of, there's another alternative... if you are sure of your issue is related to pvt4 and the like, and have the logcat ready, you might want to report it to official bugtracker channel (if the issue is not reported there already)

Oxygen and htc sync?

Is it possible to use htc sync, to sync outlook contacs and calender whit a desire running oxygen 2.0 rc6?

When I plugin the cable I dont get the option to use it for sync, I just get two options, usb-connection or usb-storage. And htc sync cant find my device.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
I don't think that would be possible (but others, please correct me if i'm wrong, since i never use htc sync anymore :p).

Yes, the two options are the default, and usually, that should be enough (+ adb)

I am completely new to Oxygen and non-sense roms and have just installed R6 which is awesome(don't think i will be going anywhere else thanks Adam!)

The only thing i miss is the clock\weather widget on my homescreen and the htc friend stream running full page on a seperate homescreen. Does anybody know of an apk which will replicate these?

Secondly, my battery life is somewhat inferior to what i am used to(i did a basic r6 install ater a full wipe and i also flashed the kernal recommended on post 2-no other tweeks as i do not fully understand them). I have a debranded vodaphone desire. Could anybody talk me through anything i need to do for better battery life.

p.s. Before anybody has a go at me for not searching through this thread, i appologise because i have tried but i am sure you will appreciate, to a newbe, there is rather a lot of information to sift through here.

p.p.s. Last question. When i flash R7, will i lose all of my apps and settings? :confused:

Feel free to use those ROM's but Oxygen ROM is waiting for the N1 OTA so the camcorder function is using the correct libs and working as well as you'd expect from your phone. This has been explained a number of times in this thread, no one knows for sure when the N1 OTA will be released other than Google saying "in the coming weeks" about a week or so ago.

Any advice would be much appreciated. :confused:
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
According to Adam himself, the camcorder working is a dirty hack that messes around with some otherwise clean coding. He'd rather wait for the OTA release for the Nexus 1 to Gingerbread that will provide a simple (and google generated) solution as the libraries for our Desires are pretty much Nexus 1, IIUC.
[Desire Android Development] eden1988:
Long press on your homescreen and select Add item>Widget>Beautiful Widgets then from there choose the time/weather widget you want and set the tiles format eg 4x2 or 4x3
[Desire Android Development] Egan:
Press menu on your homescreen and choose "add". Now you see a menu pop up with widgets. Choose the widget of choice. Make sure you have enough space on the particular screen :).

EDIT: Eden was faster :D.
[Desire Android Development] gilibs:
Simply tap on the homescreen (some clean surface) and select to add a widget, then select the bw one.

I would suggest getting the FancyWidget instead, it also has a theme that will make it look just like the one provided by HTC sense UI.

Also - consider using LauncherPro - it has widget very similar to HTC sense (besides the mail widget which is currently missing).

Enjoy.
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
Bug?

Can anyone reproduce this one for me? I am now using 2.0 Test and the included Launcher. When I press home I get to the home, all well and good. When I press it again it reloads the launcher but all the widgets disappear! Pressing the home button again FCs my Launcher!

Not a huge problem, just don't mash the home key, but I like to hit home to get back to screen 1 (or 3 depending on your persepctive).

Please don't recommend other launchers, just let me know if this is the case for you also.

I came from RC6 without and wipes at all.... hmmm.
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
oxygen is meant to be clean, and the working camcorder is just a "dirty hack", at least that's what adam said. the camcorder will work in oxygen when the nexus ota arrives. maybe it will be included in any upcoming test builds, but that's just an assumption

Oxygen updater

I'm currently on a RC6 version, restore some app and perfom some settings. My question is the following : Update to 2.0 Test will keep my apps and settings or not ? Or should i redo all the titanium apps restore and set the all thing ...
[Desire Android Development] :
Most likely a market issue, the solution to stuck downloads was to sign in to gtalk. But that ain't working. Maybe Wi-Fi is the problem, long ago a friend of mine had a similar problem, he used his 3g connection and the downloads worked fine afterwards.

Installed latest test ROM this afternoon. Man, it is smooth! Using included launcher and have not modified the zip. Initially had a problem with the Market where one app (Quick Office) was listed as purchased but then reported as 'not found' when clicking on it to install (even after toggling mock location) but tried again just now and it installed. Weird.

This is shaping up to be a solid release once the remaining Nexus libs are added. Nice work, AdamG ;-) Very nice.

You can download extended versions or better alternatives of most stock apps from the marked.

Dolphin HD browser.

All of which are better than the stock apps.
[Desire Android Development] Egan:
The music player you are referring to is a music player still in development by Google. It most likely will not be included in this ROM before Google releases it (probably 2.4 Ice Cream).

The stock music player for 2.3 Gingerbread is included :).

The 3d Gallery is a typical example of bloat killing usability (I'd hate to see the stock music app end up like that).

I usually remove the gallery 3d apk from non HTC roms and put in the 2D version instead. But Quickpic is very nice so I might use that instead.

Thanks.
