[Desire Android Development] str355:
it works fine for me, my phone makes no noise between 10pm-5:45am as per my settings.

my phone maybe the odd one out though, as i also havent had a single bootloop with RC7 or do i see the problems most people report in this thread :eek:
[Desire Android Development] :
Nope, you aren't the odd one out, I have never had a reboot either and certainly not a bootloop, and quiet hours works for me.

But we know the reboots are an AOSP issue, so thats just good luck. :p

Most of the other 'problems' reported are down to user inexperience and error.
[Desire Android Development] str355:
it's good to hear i'm not the only one that doesnt have these problems :D

hopefully google sort AOSP out before all this luck runs out! ;)
[Desire Android Development] heheyalor:
Thanks so much for the help.

One last question :p

Is there any settings I need to set for my outgoing mms to work properly? I have no problem with incoming mms. Can't seems to send out my mms, anybody got any solution to this??
[Desire Android Development] Kendrick84:
Thanks!!!! will try it now~!!
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Currently running 1.0.4 on my Desire. However am thinking about possibly flashing with v2.0-RC7. Just wanting to know what the general consensus is with it, from those who are currently using?
[Desire Android Development] iocar:
i have an ext4 partition but the a2sd isn't working, neither legacy nor google's.:confused: any help??
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
Backup your sdcard

format your sdcard : fat 32 + 1Gb ext3

flash the Oxygen Table here

Enjoy your 330 mb on /data for Oxygen RC7 :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] gurpreet3579:
soory bro back to oxygen rc7

after so many crashes and reeboots FC
[Desire Android Development] Dazeon:
This ROM is virtually perfect, excellent work mate! Can't wait for the final version.

Is it possible to remove the Live wallpapers?

Would you consider enabling the wireless N capability?

So pleased I tried this, my Desire is flying...

Keep up the good work!
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
sure... remove from the zip :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] koffeemachine:
Sorry probably the wiring place to post this. I downloaded LG free camcorder and can capture h264 at 30fps 400x200 set the ISO to 800 at 6 mbit (can go up to 13mbit)per second and seems smooth and stable. It also captures h263 640x480 but movment shows blocks. The sound quality is great it can handle core aac at 48hz 200bps. The video is a bit blurred but will do for now
[Desire Android Development] martie666:
Headset mic volume

I have a problem when I use the original HTC wired headset, the microphone volume is far too low. The one I'm talking to can barely hear me. I did not have this problem with the stock ROM.

Anyone having the same problem or a solution?
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
No issues at all for me but you may try with "DSP Manager" and then configure headset output :rolleyes:

Hope it helps
[Desire Android Development] Dazeon:
Is that safe? I know you can, but with LeeDroid there was only certain stuff you could safely pull.

On a similar note, is it possible to replace the Gingerbread camera app with the HTC version? It's the only thing that I miss.
[Desire Android Development] :
The bcm4329 module doesn't have N explicitly disabled, so it should work, but only on 2.4GHz.
[Desire Android Development] :
No. You can try, but it won't work lol.
[Desire Android Development] Dazeon:
So do I pull LiveWallpapers or LiveWallpapersPicker, or both?
[Desire Android Development] Dazeon:
Okay, thanks for the answer.
[Desire Android Development] Dazeon:
My router is putting out dual signals, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. My phone only picks up 54G on the lower band.

Not to worry, ain't the end of the world.
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
I can confirm Thalamus says right _ already tried but force to close 100% :o

We needs to wait for the OTA release ( read the explanation about that on first post of AdamG ) :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] martie666:
As far as I can see DSP Manager is only for the audio otput, not input.
[Desire Android Development] Dazeon:
I read the entire post thank you.

I was merely referring to the camera UI and not a lack of features.

Odd move on Google's part as the app IMHO just does not fit with the rest of the Gingerbread UI.

It's Windows Mobile all over again!
[Desire Android Development] I RICHY I:
Let be re-phrase that. When is the ota due to be released?

I'm not being arsey, this is by far the best 2.3 out there.
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Glad for the confirmation. I'm treating the crashes I get as my flavour of the bootloops, but I was under the impression that /cache handled a few secure caches other than the OTAs so wondered if there was something to it.

(Plus I'm not screwing around with the ramdisk on a Tuesday. That's a Friday job for someone like me, if I want to break a Linux system I'll go for one of the ones at work).
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Well, that was in reference to the HTC application; and there's no guarantee a 2.3 OTA will ever come for the Desire, despite its similarity to the N1. I think the only camera stuff Adam needs from the N1 update is backend (2.3 drivers and hardware acceleration I guess).

The stock camera application does look like crap, but I'm sure somebody somewhere has probably themed it to be Sense-like.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
i also think that cache size do play a part. few weeks ago i did tests by trying to crash my phone. It's also true that , unlike in froyo, crashing in gingerbread will cause bootloop (perhaps this is the bug meant).

What i did is to intentionally fill the cache, then i monitor from logcat, then do all normal things with the phone. The moment the cache is filled, the apps crashed. Then, unlike in froyo sense (i never tried froyo aosp before), in gingerbread, the crash immediately sent the phone to bootloop.

BL
[Desire Android Development] :
Set your router to n only and 2.4GHz only. It *should* work then.
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Hm. I keep on meaning to sit down and logcat it, because I know that USB connectivity is dead as soon as the phone begins to play up; but I was thinking I'd go with a script that logs the cache size every minute, see if I can spot any patterns. The only thing that really weirds me out about this is that everybody else gets bootloops instead, which I've never had.
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
"In a few weeks" - Google.
[Desire Android Development] :
Nope, the cache is used for very little in Oxygen. It's main use is in recovery.

It also has absolutely nothing to do with the bootloops or crashes.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
Yup, the weakness of using the logcat is you can see the pattern up to the moment it crashed. After that, nothing else. Your idea of script will be better one.

Whatever it is, this manic test was the one that prompt me to change the splash screen to something i like... (imagine seeing the same standard htc splash screen for ..literally..hundreds of times :rolleyes:)

BL
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Cheers much! I'll wait for an AOSP, erm, fix then. Although I expect a rampant workaround when it eventually comes!
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Since getting the Oxygen table I've been having issues playing long audio files.

In Listen, if a podcast is over 30mins it always stops at around the 30 minute mark. I just have to go back into Listen and hit play again.

Is the cache to blame for this, do you think? It's the only thing that's changed since it's started happening. Happens on v1 as well as v2 since the Oxygen table.
[Desire Android Development] :
Just did a quick investigation, Listen doesn't use the cache partition at all, so it isn't that that is causing your issue.
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
_thalamus is saying that /cache is not causing a problem. I would imagine that an audio player would cache on the /data partition (I could be wrong here) and so space shouldn't be an issue with the Oxygen partition table.

I've had trouble finding out what exactly /cache is used for while the OS is booted; I know that recovery uses it like _thalamus says (you can see for yourself if you ls it in recovery) and that it temporarily holds things that you're flashing in recovery (hence the workaround for flashing radios) and that OTA updates are stored there (hence why it's so huge on stock). But I did manage to find a couple of places indicating that the partition was used by certain Android and Google services as a cache area for secure data.

Did you try this in Listen with Oxygen but without the partition table? I'm very interested now.
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Of course the other possibility is that we all have applications that technically and superficially work with Gingerbread but are actually playing merry hell beneath the surface due to bad app coding. Just a thought, but given the amount of things that overtly crashed on Gingerbread at first it wouldn't surprise me.
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
Cheers.

It certainly worked fine with Oxygen before changing hboot table. I might go back to N1 or standard to see if it still does it. Very strange indeed!
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
I am a regular listener of long podcasts using Google Listen, well above 30 mins and using Oxygen partition table. Could you wipe and reproduce the error? Are the podcasts always from the same author? Could you tell me which and I'll test using my similar setup.

Are you RC7 or Test at the mo?
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
I do a wipe each time I change/update rom. I'm actually using v1.0.4 but the same was happening on each of the RCs I was using previously.

They're all gaming podcasts (IGN, Weekend Confirmed, etc). I don't listen to many but it happens to all of them. Every time, around the 30 minute mark.
[Desire Android Development] tekhop:
totally agree with the "bad coded apps" idea... until gingerbread its official for desire, I think most apps will be at maximum 90% well coded, but still a 10% chance of problems... so we have to live with that and find out how to make it work as better as possible...

btw, any idea why i cant flash "Lucid" theme on RC7? Each time I flash the zip it says ok but nothing changes! Im currently using Rover's... Should I reflash the clean rom? or wipe and reflash all?
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Decided to flash to v2.0-RC7 anyway just before. Just curious to know, does one have to flash Hboot? I've simply used unrevoked 3 and touched nothing else. Still yet to update radio as well.

Reason I ask this is because, everything I've read about flashing Hboot (guides etc) are all non-mac related. And since I don't use a PC, kinda not very helpful.

I won't have issues without Hboot being done?
[Desire Android Development] mikep99:
Nope, its not essential unless you want to increase /data partition.

I'd recommend not using it if you are just 'trying' oxygen out :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Bugfixes

Couple of bugfixes:

Issue 600 - browser downloads failing should be fixed for the next release, a replacement apk is available now if you want the fix sooner:

http://code.google.com/p/oxygen-rom/issues/detail?id=600

Issue 594 - trackpad / general wake issues - might be fixed with kernel available on comment 10 in the issue.

http://code.google.com/p/oxygen-rom/issues/detail?id=594
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
No, you don't have to.

If you find yourself running out of internal space when you have lots of applications installed, however, it might be a good idea to install the Alpharev hboot and partition table because it frees up your /data partition. Otherwise the fact that you've installed Oxygen onto the default table means that your /system space is empty and wasted.

Hboot itself can be flashed via adb from anything that'll run adb. The commands are the same. As for partition tables, Alpharev runs as a live Linux CD so I'm not sure whether it would run on a Mac successfully. I would've thought it would, but the things I hear about Apple's lockdown policies these days I wouldn't bank on it.
[Desire Android Development] mastersjef:
Nice that u own a mac but u can build a cd or usbstick with a bootable image from alpharev so u can flash anyways.....

Send from my GB ;-)
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
and it's possible to run the cd of alpharev within vmware (maybe virtual box too but I haven't used it for awhile).
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
or try dual-boot ? :)

BL
[Desire Android Development] randomelements:
Thanks for these :)
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
I'm still pretty n00bish to all this, so would need to read more and understand Hboot/Alpharev/abd and what it all means properly, before I tinker. Only the 2nd time I've flashed my Desire, first being with 1.0.4 release a few days ago.

Just wanted to make sure that it wasn't 100% needed to run the ROM now. Undecided if I'll keep it, few things still bug me like the LED colours for sms/calls while on charge. And I had bluetooth file transfer issues on 1.0.4 release. Otherwise I like.

Just have to see how it goes over the next few days. :)

Can't go wrong with a mac, best investment ever. Haha.

But on topic, sounds good. I'll look into it more once I read up and understand everything and what I'll actually be doing.
[Desire Android Development] bluelavender:
If you are still new, please go slow... your first step is to root. Then try to flash a rom. Don't do anything too much too soon. You'll be overwhelmed when problem comes.. Like mentioned above, you don't need new type of HBOOT for oxygen. Stock one will do nicely. Stick with it.. if you are comfortable, then you can move on.

BL
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Good advice. Further to that, z4ppy, play with adb a bit before anything. If you use the Terminal or Console or whatever it's called on a Mac, you're probably used to some of the *nix commands used in adb (and if you're not then hey, you're learning skills for your Mac too). It's a good way to get a feel for how your phone works, what's stored where, what's read-only and why, etc.

[Desire Android Development] gurpreet3579:
please i need help here i am big fan of oxygen gingerbread rom.

i dont have oxygen h boot or S off.

can i install data to ext script for sending my data to ext.

if there is any script which can work with oxygen please post link.

this was suggested to me Adam in oxygen thread itself.

thanks in advance.
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Yeah, it's fine. I have no desire to rush into anything. I rather know my way around what I'm doing now properly before delving into anything further and beyond my knowledge and comfort zone. Thanks for the tip though.

Cheers. Don't really know anything about adb (or what it even stands for haha), but I wouldn't touch anything I'm not sure or comfortable with. Don't really know terminal either, since never really had to use it with the odd exception. So guess, as you said, it will be a helpful for future use with my mac.

Will have a read of those links tomorrow, getting late and probably not a good time to be starting them.

Thanks again.
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
There's no reason any data2sd script you find shouldn't work with Oxygen as long as you are using a kernel with ext4 support. But if you haven't got a fast SD card, flash the alpharev partition table instead or your phone will be unusably slow.
[Desire Android Development] heheyalor:
any luck on this ?
[Desire Android Development] fourire:
Should I install the new kernel RC 8 in recovery ?
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
I'd Google for the settings if I were you. Most times I flash a new ROM, everything gets picked up automatically (data etc) but MMS doesn't work. Just Google your network provider plus HTC Desire MMS and you'll probably find a thread of people with similar issues. Then you just have to play around with the settings they have until you get MMS and data working simultaneously and on demand.

Hey,

i installed the GingerBreed ROM, but it wont save my facebook and lastfm data (in settings). after 5 minutes there is only the googlemail acc left... :/

Can anybody help me pls ?
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
Do you have the Facebook app installed?
[Desire Android Development] Chillkroete_:
Yep. It was the first thing i does.
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
Did you flash and restore with nandroid or Titanium ?

I suggest you to perform a full wipe and flash again Oxygen RC7

No issues at all for me :rolleyes: Hope it helps you
[Desire Android Development] Chillkroete_:
I did a full wipe (cache and system) and restored nothing ^^ no titanium, no nandriod.
[Desire Android Development] tekhop:
that was already figured out.. u need to keep the apps with sync (fbook, gmail, skype and simiar) on phone and never move them to sd.. or sync goes away...
[Desire Android Development] mrshiz:
Has the OTA update to the nexus still not been released then?

Btw... I think this is my first post in this thread. Thanks for this great ROM!! Been used as my default for about a month now with very few problems!
[Desire Android Development] logicalextreme:
Nup. I think there's a Morrissey song that's appropriate.
[Desire Android Development] mastersjef:
Yoshua, it would be nice if you put also a download link?

[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
but one guy here, said that "long press volume key - next song" works with winamp for him , but it doesnt work with winamp for me.

Just tried now - Doesnt work with stock music player too .

Whats the problem ?
[Desire Android Development] davedes:
I can't send mms's since RC7. Is anyone else experiencing this problem and does anyone have a solution?
[Desire Android Development] 8ESP:
It works for me in PowerAMP but I have one problem.

If I press and hold down, it changes song.

When I release the volume button, it raises the volume.
[Desire Android Development] tonypony:
same problems.
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
I use PowerAMP too and I don't have this problem. Long-press switches tracks just fine. Not sure what's causing that for you.
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
Not working in stock musis player, winamp , mixzing and poweramp. Maybe i need to adjust somethin in phone settings?
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
No idea, honestly. I didn't change anything in my settings, it's always just worked. Have you tried a full wipe?
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
Dont want to do wipe :/ .

After wipe my all programms will be as it was before, only icons from screens will be gone ?
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
After wipe all your apps and data will be gone. So do a backup.
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
You can make a back up with Titanium and that can restore all your apps as well as their settings.
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
ahh . then now. I now titanium backup, a lot of work to restore :)
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
In Titanium Backup you can do a batch restore and it will restore all your apps much quicker.

Hello

I use a HTC Desire with Oxygen RC7 an Kernel 2.6.37-Oxygen

I have the issue (sorry my english is not so good) my Desire goes out from time to time when i play a game or i hear music or in the normal operation.

Than comes the boot picture with oxygen symbol and the device is frozen by the boot menü and i must take out the battery

This issue is since Oxygen RC6 and about once a day

HAve other desire user with RC6/7 the same issue?

Sorry for my english ^^
[Desire Android Development] MisterMonitor:
but you still need to keep pushing Install on each restoring app
[Desire Android Development] J_B204:
I'm afraid that's the price we all have to pay for flashing roms! Sometimes painful I know but the only, low effort, alternative is to go back to a stock rom. Not helpful I know but having flashed and wiped numerous times I feel your pain!
[Desire Android Development] :
REBOOTS ARE A KNOWN ISSUE IN GINGERBREAD, STOP POSTING ABOUT THEM

I do wish people would check the issue tracker before posting the same stuff over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I don't think people understand how frustrating it gets, answering the same crap over and over again.

Oxygen issue tracker link.

Android issue tracker link.

Google Mobile help forum link.

Posting repeatedly about it is NOT going to help. It will be fixed in Oxygen when Google fix it and push the updated source code.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[Desire Android Development] :
I don't. They all restore automatically. Maybe it's because I have the paid version. :p
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
working fine in winamp here :P
[Desire Android Development] vlinder66:
Navigon works on Gingerbread RC7

I can confirm that the libmedia from the link is working on my device. The only thing was that i had to reload my maps because the Navigon app didn't see them, and they where there. But after re-downloaded the maps its working great. :):)

Always make backup before trying to change something important :eek:
[Desire Android Development] reddev0:
Buy it, then you don't have to confirm restore each time. Seriously, it's not much to pay and if your flashing roms it's a must have. Wiping and doing a fresh install will more than likely solve your problem and probably prevent future issues; otherwise you'll just have to put up with the odd bug due to a bad configuration.
[Desire Android Development] reddev0:
Google for your mobile providers MMS settings and set them manually.
[Desire Android Development] crapula512:
nope, i dont have that problem at all. however im using coutts kernel, better battery than standard kernel and is working great.

just dont answer then and let other users do it. (and if you do answer, dont whine about the same things over and over and over again)
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
As requested, here it goes :rolleyes:

I've never had the bug transferring without USB Mass Storage mounted using apps like Android Commander. Same kernel.

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

- Sent via HTC Desire -
[Desire Android Development] :
It's got nothing to do with which kernel you use. I use the stock one and I've never experienced any of these 'bootloops' or reboots or anything, and my battery life is amazing.

I'll answer in any manner that I wish, but thanks for your 'advice' though. :) People need to learn to read the issue tracker and at least the first page and the last 10 pages of the thread before posting.
[Desire Android Development] :
That is an alternative way to get round the bug as the issue only exists when you put the device into mass storage mode.

Or, if it really annoys you, flash the .35 kernel which is linked in my sig. :)
