Get your device S-OFF and apply the Oxygen H-BOOT image and you'll have about 315MB for your data...more than sufficient for me and my EXT4 partition is currently just wasted...:D
[Desire Android Development] pa.pn2:
ok but i thought custom roms never get an update ota.

hadnt that .apk on open desire and former oxygen roms. so why is it included now?
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/12272-the-effective-prevention-of-future-ota-updates/
[Desire Android Development] schiznik:
Are you sure about that? By default oxygen will detect your partition and install apps on there....
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Uh? Let's just make sure we're talking about the same thing here. Just to recap, the custom partition sizes on the Oxygen HBOOT are as follows: 90/10/337 MB for SYSTEM/CACHE/DATA respectively. Every user app that you install subsequent to flashing (unless you inject the apk in /System/app before flashing) will go to /Data/app folder. Oxygen has no A2SD/+ to auto-move user installed apps to Ext2/3/4. I'll upload a pic of my Storage profile later but am pretty positive as I've looked to see if any apps got installed to my Ext4 partition before in the past and none had.;)
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Oxygen has A2SD, so if you have an ext partition, your apps are automatically moved there.
[Desire Android Development] edwardmlyte:
So installing the oxygen hboot gives more free space on the actual phone for apps. Without sounding stupid, but what is removed to make this extra space? Plus what guide have you guys/gals followed for this s-off malarky? Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
I take that back - yes it does! Hmmm, what setup was I running then?:confused:
[Desire Android Development] Michelle My Belle:
The Oxygen HBOOT is optimised for the oxygen ROM - hence more space - for phone apps (ok, so the ROM doesn't have loads of needless apps installed either so this helps too).

:-)

MMB.
[Desire Android Development] edwardmlyte:
So I'd need to put on another "stock" HBOOT if I were to go on a different rom.
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
The AlphaRev.nl website has everything you need to know about going S-Off, plus there are many threads on XDA that can answer your questions.

Adam has removed all the bloatware that ships with standard ROMS from carriers to reduce the actual ROM in size. Flashing a new partition table after going s-off resizes your partitions. The normal table allows 250MB for the ROM itself, but since Oxygen is only 80MB, all that space gets wasted unless you resize them giving that wasted space back to /Data.

Hope that makes sense.
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
Changing your HBOOT gives you differently sized system, cache and data partitions. There are several different configurations available. I'm currently using the Bravo Sense HBOOT and Oxygen HBOOT is another configuration.

I chose the Bravo Sense over the Oxygen because I like to flash my radios and RIL's without having to use abd. I do this for convenience. For example, I installed the latest Oxygen test build yesterday and found I kept losing signal so I flashed my favourate radio and RIL onto my fone and my signal stabilized. My guess is the stock radio in the current test build doesn't get along with the RIL I installed when I originally updated my radio to .54.

Read this thread for more info on changing your HBOOT.
[Desire Android Development] edwardmlyte:
Nice. I'll look it up. Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
You can use the Flasher utility here to avoid direct command line. I've used to change partitions, radios, splash and recovery...

Anybody else noticed an issue with the mobiledata notification bar widget?

It doesn't seem to work as advertised. 3G switches off but it just turns itself on again a few moments later.

Also noticed a few occasions when the widget was in the 'off' state but the 3G connection was on.

Somebody has logged an issue here:

http://code.google.com/p/oxygen-rom/issues/detail?id=622

Maybe people could star it if they can replicate the problem on their own handset. The reply from the team member regarding an app waking it up doesn't seem accurate, since the issue seems to occur even when I'm already connected to wifi.
[Desire Android Development] dmpwd:
it's the first time i try an aosp rom and i oughta say im impressed.

the slickness is just fantastic and im being able to keep 200mb on free ram, which i think it's very nice compared to the 90-110 i used to get with a sense-based rom.

facebook integration is indeed very worse, though. but this is something i can live with.

all in all, fantastic work!
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
That seems like a cool utility but I'm talking about flashing my radio and RIL without a computer. That's what I prefer to do.
[Desire Android Development] kikumbob:
I'm wondering if there is a way to install HTC's People app over the standard contacts in gingerbread. For me, this would make a custom ROM like this the perfect solution.
[Desire Android Development] dmpwd:
definitely! +1 on that
[Desire Android Development] tpickard:
Personally, I don't feel a need to strive for modern excellence this whole time with oxygen, and then use outdated icons. Oxygen is the cleanest, smoothest, and most functional ROM there is. Adding low-res icons for 'nostalgia', kinda takes away from all the progress that has been made to make this ROM so superb. Just my opinion, though.

If you really want something nostalgic, go grab a Blackberry 7130. Now there's the look you really want! :)
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
froyo tree hasnt been updated in ~2months,

just to let everyone know, I will be doing a new release some time at the weekend, just been really busy with work the last few days.
[Desire Android Development] inkredi:
Cooool! and please check out the issue I mentioned @ http://goo.gl/aRcGz

I love Oxygen rom and I wanna keep using it.
[Desire Android Development] sakai4eva:

[Desire Android Development] 9600pro87:
Banee as updated his vork kernel (base kernel for Oxygen rom) and included a fix as i had posted yesterday for the battery problem. See the changelog: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782875
[Desire Android Development] sakai4eva:
But what's the difference between his kernel and the original vork kernel? I also see that he removed the smartass governor... in the end, which will be more stable and/or saves battery?
[Desire Android Development] 9600pro87:
This is the ORIGINAL vork kernel. Banee is the developer.
[Desire Android Development] sakai4eva:
Whoops, my bad. Didn't recognize it what with the different layout... I need to pay more attention...
[Desire Android Development] Dynosu:
Just came by to say that i really like this rom. Keep up the good work
[Desire Android Development] Lars8000:
application killed??

When i press and hold backbotton it says "application killed"??

Anyway to change that?
[Desire Android Development] vnvman:
Change that? It's a rom feature lol...long press kills the current application, it has to be that way :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] turbo100:
Why would you want to change it ?
[Desire Android Development] vybztymz:
5 minutes spent reading the change log (2nd post) really is a worthwhile investment.....

Changelog

v0.2.1 beta

added long press back to kill app

added silent mode enabler option for volume rocker

added next/prev track change with long press vol. up/down

adjusted light sensor to work better in low light

enabled forcefull move of apps to sd-fat

[Desire Android Development] Lars8000:
Ahhhh sorry, my bad :o

Great feature then, haha :D
[Desire Android Development] Lars8000:
Only because, before when i pressed back, i could delete cache, history and cookies, but i don´t do that anymore, when the app i being killed. Am i right or am i missing something?
[Desire Android Development] user2413123:
Hey,

great ROM, but I don't really like all the modifications to the browser (smaller UI) and the Sense-like green buttons etc. That is why I am staying with 0.1.3. Is there a version without the theme still on the roadmap?

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
just my 2 cent...

I noticed better battery usage with this simple setup:

1. latest vorkkernel (BFS)

2. setcpu as "performance" fixed minx/max freq at 1037, with 3 profiles: 1st 800hz on charge, 2nd 348 on standby & 3rd 700 on temp > 35°
[Desire Android Development] andrewsoong:
In the browser it kills it when before it used to show history (which I used quite a bit!)

I don't like force closing anything so I'd like the option to disable it. Or at least have the hold duration longer than half a second as I'm closing stuff quite a bit by accident.
[Desire Android Development] remizik:
Hi,

I would like to try this rom without flashing my phone :D

I know there's an emulator in the SDK, does anyone know how to run a custom rom on this emulator ?

I'm sorry to ask this there, but I did not found any help anywhere :(

thanks ;)
[Desire Android Development] mi3x:
I had too many bugs with this rom, random freezes, lag, after playing pocket legends had to reboot almost every time (lag), the light sensor cannot be used on automatic (keeps changing my light, I think its not calibrated well), random reboots, overall experience not nice, even with clean install.

I have been a OD user since its birth, switched to Oxy, but now I turned to CM RC1, and after cleaning it a bit (it has alot of useless crap), it seems the more stable and better of the two.

Maybe the future updates of Oxy will make me return. Too bad OD died.

Thanks anyway Adam, great work as always.
[Desire Android Development] Opalid:
Me three! That and a decent camera app. The original htc sense camera interface and overall feel/quality of the UI and photos/videos is so much better than the one we're stuck with in this ROM.

The only two things that would make me go back to the stock ROM would be exactly that, both the camera and the people applications.

One can dream, can one not? :)

EDIT: But everything else makes me stick with Oxygen. It's undoubtedly the best ROM out there. :)

Installed the latest test version but i'm still getting pretty horrible USB transfer rates (~550-650KB/s). Is there any sort of ETA on when this will be addressed?
[Desire Android Development] 8ESP:
It's an issue with all 2.6. 37 kernels, it doesn't have to do with the rom. Flash a 2.6.35 kernel to solve it. There are many threads with kernels here on the forums
[Desire Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Hmm, did I rub you off in the wrong way? Maybe in the past life?

Well, why should I go back to a BB 7130.. any of the recent Blackberries are good enough for "Nostalgia" :P

Okay enough of the rants..

@Adam, I kinda like the concept and would like to see it get realized. Maybe a Connoisseur version of the ROM perhaps or maybe just a Theme apk?

In the RC7 changelog I read "Fixed trackpad wake".

How I can do that?

... Or the function is only available in the current test build?
[Desire Android Development] karmatt:
You have to enable trackpad wake in Settings - "Accessibility"
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
Menu wake on/OFF Oxygen RC7

You may try this :

Menu Wake MOD ON (flashable.zip)

Menu Wake MOD OFF(flashable.zip)

DSP Manager for Oxygen as a bonus ;)
[Desire Android Development] kkarnaout:
is there a fix for the video? and how do we knw that the test build is updated? im orady useing one how to knw there is a newer one ? thank you

So new HTC Desire S and Wildfire S models announced today, to be released early Q2 with Gingerbread pre-installed. If new phones are being released with 2.3 this must mean the OTA for Nexus One will be coming soon.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
HTC is waiting for the 2.4 release...
[Desire Android Development] Matty Matt:
Just came from jumping between LeeDroid and InsertCoin 1.9 and this has to be the smoothest, fastest ROM I've ever used!

(Can i propose a name change to Butter? It's THAT smooth!)

One issue/bug i've encountered: When configuring Beautiful Widgets, the setup window FC'd so i chose to wait, and it resumed regular function. (no other problem after that)

Second of all, how can i sync the info of my contacts with their details on Facebook? I let the contacts sync from my Google account but the FB details won't sync...
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
For beautiful widgets _ only issue i have is about the skins with the lastest version 3.3.4 ( you can paste skins manually with rootexplorer on the /skins folder )

For the synchro with FB contacts, as Oxygen is not Sense but AOSP Rom, you need to install Facebook for Android ( the best free FB app for me in the market ) and on the first boot, the app will ask if you want to synchronize all/sim contacts/ or none.

Hope it helps you ;)

Why does Oxygen does not support 720p playback? I have tested so many players and nothing is working whereas redux, gingervillain and I think amethyst also play these files with ease. Using Act1
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
Sadly for me, I can never get Beautiful Widgets aspect ratio to work properly on my home page and the height always seems shorter than it should be leading to a funny looking HOME CLOCK that is just plain ugly. So stuck with Fancy Widgets v1.3 (MIUI-modded version) which is the best lightest replacement I've found for Sense UI Rosie's Location Weather feature...
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
I never have had any problems with Beautiful Widgets. Do you have changed the density of your phone (default would be 240)?
[Desire Android Development] Moe5508:
No, its on default 240...:confused:. Care to post your setup? Weather Skin, Clock Skin etc so I can compare, or please PM if we're going to bore everyone else here ;)...Thanks.

sorry i searched and didnt find any solution related to the video fix and thanks for the update its great so any help and sorry if im repeating things but i really searched
[Desire Android Development] gumbald:
It's a very well known problem. To save pulling the battery, hold down power, volume down and the OJ.

You have to enable trackpad wake in Settings - "Accessibility"]

That's what I was looking for, thanks. I'm going through the entire thread but of course it takes a bit (tried with search function, but I need to work on that since I was unable to get info by myself...).

I was sure this wonderful rom had the tpad wake built on, I didn't think it was under accessibility, since in italian it is for blind people, which is not my case (at least not yet :rolleyes:).

Another issue: is there any possibility to quickly activate/deactivate data connection? Coming from a sense rom I used to bypass the procedure "Settings/Wireless and Data/Mobile Data" and then check "Mobile Data" (a bit different in eng, I guess, since I'm translating from italian, but I'm sure you got the problem) with some app like Quick Setting, or widgets like apn off/on.

But any of them seems to be working properly with oxygen... Any suggestion?

Before you think I'm one of those not looking at the posts before, let me add that I had problems with the power widget too. Sometimes some icons don't react to my touch, or they do but I get no actual response (which is the mobile data icon: I press it, it theoretically activates mobile data, but then I have to go and manually activate...

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
good to know.

Just a question: OJ stands for...?

The day of Acronyms Lesson I was sleeping
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
You can add the Data Connection to the Power Widget drop down in the status bar.
[Desire Android Development] wph:
You just asked one of the most asked questions since the Desire came out. OJ stands for Optical Joystick. Nowadays a not so much used accronym but in the early days of Desire development this thing caused a power drain because of faulty drivers and it took quite a while before it was fixed.
[Desire Android Development] hshah:
See my signature :p

Optical Joystick aka Track Pad :)
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
some history is always interesting. we're too much focused on present and future and forget lessons from the past :D
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
can I get it as strong suggestion to go back to 2.6.35 kernel or just in case I experience issues?...
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
same problem here. At first I thought it was related with bad installation (I mean not complete wipe, or something like that).

I did a full wipe again, repartion of sd, clear data and whatever related with previous rom (leedroid).

After reinstalling RC7 (and before installing any other related app) I immediately experienced what has been issued.

What I used to do with leedroid was to use Quick Settings (Mobile Data APN icon which is inside; I guess it acts the APN, while the Mobile Data function inside Settings remains always thicked).

So far I have to manually activate/deactivate Mobile Data, which is obviously quite annoying...
[Desire Android Development] :
Question: Why would you want 720p playback on a 480*800 screen which doesn't support it? :p
[Desire Android Development] :
For the plpharev hboot, do i flash it via recovery???

You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC.
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
nooby question:

under oxygen settings I see (under "Widget Buttons/Button modes) Network modes, which allows me to set how the related widget icon works.

But... Are we talking about mobile data network or phone network? I'm trying to see why the mobile data icon doesn't seem to work properly, but I don't want to allow the phone to connect to internet while I'm in roaming.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
1. It's both. You can't connect to 3G data while using 2G phone network.

2. To disable data while roaming go to "Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile Networks": Deactivate "Data roaming"
[Desire Android Development] jastonas:
Tried different kernels and same effect
[Desire Android Development] wph:
Come on, the explanation on the AlphaRev site is perfectly clear. Flash it in fastboot. The exact command is very easy to find.
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
You flash a new partition table via Fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] :
how do i do that? i get

CID Incorrent, Update failed
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
Send me a PM so we don't clutter up the Oxygen thread.
[Desire Android Development] trinity1:
got it. Could you pls help me in setting the widgets correctly? I want to get mobile data connection ONLY when I need it and ONLY when I'm under my operator.

I should (pls confirm):

1. use "mobiledata" icon to get connected to market/internet or whatever;

2. use "2g/3g" icon and set network modes... How?

My problem so far is that mobiledata icon doesn't work (I mean, it should activate mobile data, but it doesn't)

Still on rc6 is the rc7 still full of bloatware and stuff you don't need?? Is there a rc8 or waiting till we can get new files to fix the problems. ?? Still love.oxygen Adam
[Desire Android Development] Kalavere:
Read the first post or two, there will be no more RC's. Next release is the final build.
[Desire Android Development] :
If you want the latest bugfixes use the test build. Anything that is marked as fixed in the issue tracker is fixed in the latest test build.

I'm not sure what 'bloatware and stuff you don't need' you are referring to. Have you confused Oxygen for another lame imitation? :p
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Anyone else have issues with sound settings?

On latest test build (but happened on RC7 too) just done a clean install last night, stock kernel, ~10 apps max (which don't produce this issue on other roms).

Settings -> Sounds -> FC (com.android.settings).

Been watching thread for a bit and not seen it specifically mentioned, sorry if it's been covered (not in issue tracker either).

(edit for bad typing)
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
Are your ring tones stored on your SD card? If so, make sure your Desire isn't in USB mode when you're trying to access your ring tones. That might be your problem.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
No custom ringtones - just the stock ones. Shouldn't be any carryover settings for ringtones from another rom as I always do full wipes between different roms.

Also very rarely use USB mode, haven't used it since well before i did this flash... definitely not the issue here.

Should also confirm i've always had this problem on oxygen. I've only been playing with it a couple of weeks so it's only been RC7 and the two most recent test builds but i've also flashed a few other roms inbetween and there was no issue with sound settings on those. Always do full wipe/cache/dalvik between flashes and as far as i'm aware i don't have TB backing up any sound/ringtone info - unless it's covered by something else in there. TB is set for my regular apps + calling (history/contacts), APN storage, wallpaper, alarms, dictionary, wifi, that kind of stuff. Nothing in there that falls under sounds and no major system settings.

In the interest of troubleshooting, is a new flash going to wipe over any bung settings? Or is it going to maintain everything unless i do a factory reset as well.
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Probably caused by something you restored with titanium backup. Do a full wipe, and don't restore ANY system settings.
