im so sorry to ask this question, when i try to flash the oxygen hboot it tells me cannot load the bravo_alphaspl-oxygen.img, where should i download the image to should i put it on the phone or where the sdk is on the pc please help fast
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
It goes in the folder that contains fastboot...probably you're android-sdk-windows\tools folder.
[Desire Android Development] hjklein:
Since I have worse battery life starting with one of the test builds and with RC7 I thought that might be the ROM.

This assumption was not correct as I installed pure RC7 only and got fantastic battery life out of it.

I tested a lot in the meantime with my applications using CurrentWidget and I found that something is causing high current while the screen is off.

I installed one app after the other and watched battery current and now I found that BeautifulWidget could be the root cause. Maybe it’s the app or a combination with some other apps.

Could someone please test and confirm this finding?

Is there a possible reason why I see this on RC7 and not on RC6?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but it has been ages since I heard Pebkac and I just must translate so that everyone can enjoy the wonderful put down to the same extent.

Problem

Exists

Between

Keyboard

And

Computer.

I too came from LeeDroid to Oxygen (Pre 1.0 release days, in which time LeeDroid has gone from 2.3c to errr. 2.3d) and whilst it did take all of one day to get over not having some of the sense apps I am loving the clean, clear, free to customise with apps of my own choice, no need for A2SD, custom HBoot, active community wonderfulness of Oxygen.

Big respect to Lee for LeeDroid, but where do people get off saying "This ROMs rubbish, I'm going back to another ROM"... I bet he didn't even install it, just a Sense fanboi wanting to flame... well done troll.

On another note, how much kudos would a hardware maker such as HTC, Moto, Samsung etc get if they were to release a piece of hardware only, no OS, just a bunch of drivers and libraries and then let the developer community go to town making their own ROMs for it. Its what happens anyway, we just have to do dodgy things like rooting to get there.
[Desire Android Development] kaldean:
its still gives me the same message

can you give me the exact command line
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
Keyboard and chair :)
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
+10000

That would be a great idea.
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
I'm not sure what you're path is. Mine is C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, yours might be that or it might be different. Make sure you've put the .img in the tools folder and not the platform-tools folder.
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
http://alpharev.nl/

You're probably better off using the PB99IMG, if you based on the instructions on the website can't figure out how to use fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
You can try this but I've found that doing it that way doesn't work for a lot of people, me included. Couldn't figure out why.
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Kudos for actually taking the time to investigate the issue before coming to the forums :)

Make sure you're not restoring any settings from BeautifulWidgets, see if that helps. Does it also happen with just BeautifulWidgets installed? It probably depends on stuff like location, so see if turning on/off the different location settings does any difference (like determining position with wifi/mobile network).
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Can't believe they would release something to the public that doesn't work.
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
Oh yes. *Blush and walk away slowly*
[Desire Android Development] coutts99:
At least someone understood it though :)
[Desire Android Development] kaldean:
i have the android sdk installed in the root of drive c

and i have the img file in tools what command line did u use
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
It works for some people, other not. I put the zip file, named correctly, into the root of the drive, boot into HBOOT, it sees the file, scans it, and then nothing happens. The MD5CHECKSUM is valid as well. No idea what was stopping it, but fastboot flashed it no problem, as expected.
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
All taken from alpharev.nl

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) -> 'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img' (change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

4) 'fastboot reboot-bootloader'

5) 'fastboot erase cache'

6) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.
[Desire Android Development] dvdy:
Where did you find the md5 for the PB99IMG?
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
I didn't. I got confused with checking it for the .img file. Sorry. Either way, it didn't work and there is a thread about other trying to do it this way and it not always working. Apparently it used to not work and they pulled the method but it's now back up on the site..though it still won't work for me. Oh well. Fastboot is the much better way to go.

[Desire Android Development] asdfgj69g:
Settings.apk

Here's the Settings.apk for getting the full power widget back in RC7. I've flashed by booting into recovery and then used adb:

adb shell

mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

exit

adb push /........../Settings.apk /system/app/Settings.apk

After rebooting out of the recovery you're done. :)
[Desire Android Development] walkerx:
as I had some issues taking an app from one rom and placing it in the oxygen rom would it mean that the app relies on something in the original rom for it to work?

if I tried pushing the app would that resolve the issue of force closing or not
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Depends what you're trying to install.

Just had a random reboot loop, took phone out of my pocket and it was stuck in boot animation.. had to pull battery to get out. Anyone else getting anything similar?
[Desire Android Development] puredesire:
Is it poor battery life on this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] focallength:
The ROM itself is, if anything, very good for battery life. You will of course have a bunch of other apps installed which may or may not help. I get through a day no probs, with wifi on pretty much all the time and push exchange email and gmail. Every single night has me on charge though.

some go on a battery saving trip and install power tutor to let them know what to avoid, uninstall, reconfigure. Battery saver apps to control when the phone goes online and stuff like that. In short... its fine.
[Desire Android Development] Eradorius:
Yes, I got something similar today, I was checking logs on superuser, when suddenly it started doing reboot loop. If it will happen again, I will try to make a log.
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
How do you read/access the logs?
[Desire Android Development] Eradorius:
Via adb logcat or Dalvik Debug Monitor (on Windows SDK\tools\ddms.bat).
[Desire Android Development] lick_the_fish:
From 6am to 10pm and still on 21%. Average use, WiFi on all the time sync fb every 30 mins and gmail on push. A little angry birds and some music at lunchtime.

It's more than fine!
[Desire Android Development] _RoD_:
This ROM + latest radio = best battery life I've ever seen.
[Desire Android Development] Leotronick:
Sorry if this has already been asked and solved. I didn't found it in this thread.

The legacy a2sd does not work for me. I formated my SD card like every other time when i use a a2sd enabled rom .

But on rc7 my internal memory gets filled very fast and the ext partition stays quite empty.

I did a full wipe and had no problems during installation.

Any suggestions?
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Only apps (as in, .apk's) go to the ext partition. Dalvik cache stays on the internal memory. It's been answered hundreds of times in this thread.
[Desire Android Development] Eradorius:
Dalvik cache isn't moved, so it will free less space (but is more stable). Check if you had any data on ext (via Linux, or terminal). If you have any data there, a2sd is working.

[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
Hey guys I'm not sure if this is Oxygen related, but the problem persists since i have flashed RC7..

My problem is the following: I can't connect to the internet via mobile network, because the 3G symbol is stuck on "uploading" (the arrow is either lit or blinks). Sometimes it stops, switches to H, does nothing and goes back to 3G with the upload arrow lit.

I use the recommended radio. I have wiped the device, reflashed the ROM and the radio, the problem is still here. Now I can't even connect to my Google account, as it gets stuck on "uploading" :(

I figured it could have something to do with my carrier, but a friend of mine who is also on 3 Austria has no problems and a fast connection.. :confused:

Sorry if this is misplaced here, but like I said it occurs since I have flashed RC7..
[Desire Android Development] SimonVT:
Check your APN settings, possibly delete and recreate them.

Glad I could be of service. I haven't tried any other ROMs but I'm very happy with Oxygen and it keeps getting better and better with every release. You should try it!
[Desire Android Development] juicebox666:
Sounds like your Desire is bootlooping. Try wiping everything and re-flashing Oxygen. I would also suggest you use a different HBOOT. I've read that a lot of the bootloop issues are likely related to the ROM running out of usable memory.
[Desire Android Development] z4ppy:
Flashed with Oxygen 1.0.4 ROM.

Noticed that my LED light doesn't change colour when I get a sms/call while the phone is on charge. I use handcent as my sms app, and LED light changing worked fine with the stock rom. LED remains with the constant orange charging light, not the purple one it would change to.

Also, Bluetooth wouldn't correct with my Macbook Pro just before. MBP picks it up, it's paired with my phone, but when I go to transfer a file from my MBP to my Desire, I don't get any notification to accept incoming request on my phone.

Only knew with all this stuff, so not sure if it's a common problem with the version of ROM I'm using or not. Searching didn't seem answer anything.

If yes then do a full wipe.

I've updated from 2.0-RC6 to RC7 some weeks ago and i've got a problem that exists in both versions.

At home i have my Desire connected to my WLAN with the standy-by rule set to "never disconnect from WLAN". Works great until i leave my home and go outside out of the range of my wireless lan.

The Desire doesn't switch to 3G/UMTS, so i have to manualy switch to flight-mode and back, re-enter the PIN and then the 3G/UMTS connection is active.

I've tried different versions of the radio releases, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Could it be possible that it is an issue with my provider O2 Germany?
[Desire Android Development] masterludo:
I have exactly the same problem (but use a different workaround stated a couple pages before) and my provider is indeed also O2 Germany (actually Fonic which uses the O2 network).

random reboot loop

I got the same issue two times already and i am running now since one week without any issues _ try to replicate my steps :

format the sd card

partitions : first one FAT32 / second one 1Gb max EXt3 ( ext 4 would be better but reduce sd card life )

flash Oxygen RC6 and reboot

wait for 5/10 minutes until the rom get all the background stuff rounded

flash Oxygen RC7 and reboot

wait again 5/10 minutes before any changes

Should be fixed _ no issues on 2G/3G swithes/ wifi/data, batterylife is amazing as well, 6 hours on normal use and only 20% left, tried with Zeam launcher/Launcher pro plus/ Google stock Launcher/ ADW EX launcher _ themes flashed with any issues from Sonnysekhon Thread

Hope it helps you guys :rolleyes:

Guys I've got no statusbar on top. It's fully missing, how to get it back?
[Desire Android Development] Lanbase:
its an aosp issue being worked on, meanwhile reboot phone every 12 hours and you probably wont get the rebootloops as they occur after approx 18-24 hrs uptime.

one other note, I am always able to reboot/stoplooping pushing the 3 next buttons at same time;

*power + *vol-down +*trackball

this will reboot the phone without having to pull the battery and gives you a "better gut feeling". :)

[Desire Android Development] _RoD_:
Yes, I use that one. I used an older version before, in combination with OpenDesire. For Oxygen, I found that using the latest radio makes a huge difference. I got a 4-5 fold increase of battery life (but that's also due to my previous radio version using a lot of the battery, which was the reason to try a different one).
[Desire Android Development] Malakaaa:
Thanks that you tried to help me but after flashing it once again it came back. Maybe the system made a little mistake while flashing.

YES, a dirty hacked version of this rom would be great! :p Maybe some other devs would like to hack it, release hacked camera app or whatever..? :)

Maybe there are other custom camera apps? Because the only thing I hate about Stock Google Android is that crappy camera app... It's not possible, that nobody thought of some solutions in that much time from Desire release last year.. http://android.modaco.com/content/g...era-application-on-nexus-one-mcr-cm-enomther/
[Desire Android Development] Yorzua:
According to the first post of AdamG :

Reasons for waiting for the OTA?
Well I would rather not hack up the framework just to get video recording working,
if we pull the libraries properly and
the way it is supposed to be done
then no hacks are needed to support video recording,
I know this won't be to everybodies liking
and I appologise for that but I want to try and keep Oxygen as clean as possible.
The OTA proprietary files would also fix a couple of other issues.

Couldnt be more clear guys :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] lick_the_fish:
I think your missing the point of a CLEAN, fast ROM. I.e. no dirty code to cause lags and other potential errrors...

In fairness, even when the OTA for Nexus One does arrive, its not going to be an instant fix... Adam still has to find the necessary files and ensure they work correctly on the Desire before releasing any further additions to the ROM.

Yes, I was aware of that.

Then, his forum got flooded by spam.

Then, his forum went offline for a week.

Then, his forum came back online... a few ppl asked about any news... no answer from author.

One week later, I decided to go for another launcher, other 2 euros. Not a big expense, still unnecessary... cause yesterday, a new LPP have been released. And within a week, another one will.

If only the developer had left a single sign of life, I'd have avoided the money/time waste.

Tease is much, much better than... stay silent. Imho :)

BTW, Adw Ex is very nice. Still, it gives no advantages at all with live wallpapers... and sometimes it goes hiccup and freezes phone for a minute.

That's not possible for the moment. The next steps, as i understand, of this ROM will be to introduce the N1 official release and then a steady consolidation in time. Maybe, after the final release of 3.0, if we get lucky and works as well as gingerbread worked, will release a parallel rom. Finger crossed! :)
