Unlikely.

The whole point of oxygen is that it's minimalistic and includes only as little as you need for normal use. Theme engines etc only add bloat and more stuff to go wrong.

I'm no dev but I can't see anything overly obvious in the oxygen rom that does the power controls :( Simply adding the oxygen settings apk does not work in this instance, obviously it calls on something else but I have no idea what that is. Still looking as I'd like to have it too, may just see how oxygen compares when it's out and if it's near enough will probably just jump on over.

Thanks! You still didn't answer my question about oxygen hboot. What does it do?
[Desire Android Development] TheGhost1233:
It changes the partition layouts of the internal memory. Normal the desire has a 250Mb system partition, 40Mb cache partition and 147Mb data partition. Oxygen hboot changes this to 90, 10, 337. Because the system footprint of oxygen is much smaller, 90Mb is enough and therefore a bigger data partition is possible, which means more space for apps without a ext partition.

More info here.
[Desire Android Development] Harry Pothead:
The internal memory of the phone is divided into 3 parts: /system (your OS), /cache and /data (your apps). The Oxygen Hboot makes /system and /cache partitions smaller and adds it to the /data partition so you can install more apps. The system partition doesn't need to be so big because Oxygen doesn't contain a lot of stuff (which you probably don't need) like the stock Desire ROM does.

edit: damn, one minute too slow :D
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
which version number does it have?

Greetings,

KBanause
[Desire Android Development] crapula512:
keep in mind that the smaller cache would prevent you from installing big apps from the market or flashing radios from recovery and if you ever decide to move out of oxygen you will propably need to reflash the hboot. i wouldnt recommend it.
[Desire Android Development] akrozia:
2.3.4.1
[Desire Android Development] donatinho:
Afaik,the market downloads have been moved to SD in order to prevent problems with small cache size. At least,on CM works that way.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
You are spreading wrong information about not being able to download big apps from the market.

Adam changed some code that the market doesn't use the cache partition. I have successfully downloaded and installed some apps which where 13MB or bigger in size.

Greetings,

KBanause
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
It's no issue for market downloads, at least when you are running oxygen ROM then large downloads will be done via /data AFAIK. Bad if your rom is not designed to handle a small cache.

Negatives, well yes it's harder to move to another ROM, though there are still a couple of AOSP roms that will fit the oxygen HBOOT. Also, radio upgrades cannot be done by flashing zip in recovery. Both of these issues are made less significant with Android Flasher (use search) which automates the fastboot installation of radios and HBOOT images.

Mind you, I only flashed oxygen HBOOT because i am 100% sure I'm going to be sticking with AdamG's builds for a while to come :) I love the minimalist style - hate bloat.
[Desire Android Development] PhobosUK:
Hey adam mate may we all thank you for you time and ability been with you since start although still running rc6 I can't wait for the new update. Very few developers are as dedicated as you many thanks bro. Xxx
[Desire Android Development] hani1:
Thank you for all the answers. I have two more questions:

1) how does the oxygen updater work? Do I have to reset to default settings and apps upon an update or does it work just like in the regular stock Rom? Also does the update remain if I decide to reset to default settings?

2) is it recommended to flash the radio? I'm using the one that came with the phone.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
It'll maintain settings, it just drops the new ROM straight over the old. Doing a factory reset after an update via updater will still leave you with the new version. It's a full install of the new rom rather than a few patches applied.

In effect it's no different to flashing a new rom via recovery without wiping first - the updater just automates it.

It rarely hurts to try a new one, most people do pretty will with the latest radio (linked in my sig).

Google Mail 2.3.4.1.apk

push it via adb if you can't install it via file manager. it did it that way, and it works.

now someone could make the 2.3.4.1 into black again, and i'd be super happy :)
[Desire Android Development] DesirableHTC:
which one of these work with RC7.....?
[Desire Android Development] hani1:
Thanks again! I have read the guides about rooting and flashing from the Oxygen Tips thread, but I still don't understand where should I start. As I've said, I'm running the stock 2.2 (it came with phone) updated to the latest version. In order to install the Oxygen ROM, I have to root the device first? So I should follow these steps:

1) Root device.

2) Partition 1GB of my SDCard in EXT3.

3) Flash Oxygen ROM.

4) Flash radio.

Are these the steps I should do and are they in the correct order?
[Desire Android Development] itshotinhere:
WTF!? RC7 already had a pull down status bar menu?! Please people, remember this is the Oxygen ROM thread.
[Desire Android Development] Jelte12345:

this was the one i used the whole time.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Yes that will be absolutely fine :) Though technically you can set your card up at any time :P

Easiest thing is probably to root and set up EXT now, that way when the oxygen update drops you can throw it straight on.

Just a simple question regarding the Hboot, i have Oxygen Hboot installed now,

but what if i flash a sense rom on it , will this brick my device?, because i can't find any information regarding the hboot.
[Desire Android Development] davedes:
No it won't.
[Desire Android Development] davedes:
No it won't
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
It will not brick your device, you will just not be able to boot it and you will have to flash another HBOOT (Sense, Stock or Data++ should work)
[Desire Android Development] Vuska:
No... willnot brick only bootloop.

but why don't just flash another type of HBoot? You can find it in alpharev website right?
[Desire Android Development] oursoul:
Oh sorry is there something more important to say right now?
[Desire Android Development] br13an:
I know, but i just wanted to know this specific thing, because i couldn't find anything about it and Hboot scares me because it's a pretty critical part of the phone.

Thanks for your time guys!

How's the battery usage with oxygen Rom, is it better than stock?
[Desire Android Development] nuggahund:
The 1.0.4 is very good battery life time.

The RC7 is a little sluggish in standby time compared to other roms(but better than stock 2.2 in my opinion), but the official release of the gingerbread oxygen should be out soon, maybe even today so it might be worth to wait for it.
[Desire Android Development] ShotMe:
Mayble doubled? :)
[Desire Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Is there any way the change the scroll method or look of the main apps screen, the way it is seems slow and sluggish?
[Desire Android Development] nuggahund:
That would be a little ambiusius.

But i think think the standby battery time can be improved alot.

After all maybe just by using SetCPU

NEW YORK TIMES: Twitter down because of Google rolled out Android 2.3.3 for N1
[Desire Android Development] x5spoonman:
Hi

Quick question

Should I install the Oxygen HBOOT and forget about partitioning the SD card to EXT3.

Or should I partition my SD card and not install the oxygen HBOOT?

I read somewhere that there is not need to partition the sd card with the oxygen hboot.

Btw, this is in relation to the upcoming final 2.0 rom

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] gurpreet3579:
Install oxygen hboot Because you will get more internal space for data.

Earlier i also installed oxygen hboot

Flash it with android flasher
[Desire Android Development] nuggahund:
I keep the standard Hboot for one reason. I use an ext partion to store apps on, because it gives me 512mb instead of about 300 which the new hboot gives.

Then i do neither have to worry about flashing a new hboot next time i want to change to a sense ROM.

The primary reason to flash for oxygen Hboot is not the storage, cause you can just run a2sd. It's because you want your apps to run extra fast because many SD cards is only class2 and therefor pretty slow compared to internal memory in your phone.

But for me running apps from a class2sd always went fine and it has been pretty fast.
[Desire Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Brilliant - thanks for this - stacking up to be a great Rom.

Is there a torch or a flashlight app? :D (there's always one more question)
[Desire Android Development] x5spoonman:
Thanks

If I use android flasher to flash the HBOOT, it says i need to have S-OFF.

How do I do this? Lots of people are saying different things.

(When I boot into fastboot, it says i have S-ON)
[Desire Android Development] davedes:
What are you talking about dude android mail is 10 × better.
[Desire Android Development] hani1:
so when does the Rom start using the ext3 partition? Do you to specify for each app to install to ext3 or is it done if there is small internal storage

?
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
http://alpharev.nl
[Desire Android Development] nuggahund:
No what i did was to format my sd card to a ext2-3-4 at 512 and the rest as fat32.

This can be done usually be done in recovery or by using the clockwordmod app if you use clockworkmod.

You can also insert the sd to your computer and do it manually.

Most ROM's has build in support for a2sd(also Oxygen) which means that the apps automatically will be installed on the ext partion. (The phone kinda thinks the ext is the internal memory)

You can see how a2sd memory can be monitored using a standard system monitor app
[Desire Android Development] skeptic1007:
Two off-topic questions: What is the system monitoring application in the picture? What is a good sd card speed testing app?

[Desire Android Development] bland.life:
A sudden random thought..

Seems like theres a large amount of people waiting for Oxygen 2 final.

Maybe there can be download mirrors to handle possible heavy traffic?

Could heavy traffic result in corrupted downloads and people flashing corrupted downloads will come complain on the forums?
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
No. But is is always recommended to check the MD5 hash of the file you want to flash!
[Desire Android Development] Tomo-L:
Having some problems with the Gingerbread version. I'm loving it, there's just a few minor annoyances, I'm guessing other people have probably had them though.

Every time I reboot the phone, lots of settings reset. Such as my default keyboard, launcher skin, things like that. Also now when installing APKs I get parsing errors, I'll try another installer though.

Quick System Info
[Desire Android Development] nuggahund:
It's quick system info pro

About the SD card speed it's almost all about the class number.

The lowest is 2 which works fine for me, so more should just be better.

I can't think of an app to test the speed of the sd, maybe somebody else knows?
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
It's unlikely, but it can happen.

Though normally the integrity checks from your provider are enough to ensure proper downloads.

Only corrupted download I ever had was because the file transfer was stopped unexpectedly from the server from which I was downloading due to heavy traffic.

With 2.3.3 Google block all fake sync from Facebook, Why?

Because facebook import all contacts and don't let to export them.

The sync facebook was faked/virtual contacts, isn't realy in you phone (to don't be export information)

So Google don't like it, and with >=2.3.3 all contacts information must be in the phone, to show up. (so facebook must export that information to the phone, and if is in the phone will be backup to Gmail Contacts)
[Desire Android Development] jadephyre:
sure, though I tend to only use the MD5 when downloads exceed a filesize of 1 or 2 Gigabytes.

Mostly because of the time it takes to download something that large, even on a 16MBit Connection.

If you need that, you might as well carry a camcorder or a compact camera with you, they do a much better job than a mobile phone...

Probably wiping like the instructions tell you too would help.

On another note, someone just msgd me asking me if I was stopping development on Oxygen, the answer is no, however I encountered unexpected problems with GRI40 (Android 2.3.3)

Google have clean their code up once again quite a lot and a number of mods need to be rewritten due to this, items broken are listed below,

Long press on volume rocker to change music tracks

Trackball wake/unlock

FM Radio

Now like most other people I do have a life and I have to work etc... I haven't had time to fully look into things, I did however repair FM Radio somewhat but I'm told the volume is pretty loud even on minimum.

I was planning to release 2.0 with few mods and then release 2.0.1 in the near future when I have had chance to address the current issues.

After the initial reaction on my other ROM, I was going to wait to release Oxygen until I had fixed everything, I didn't want to see hundreds of posts moaning about missing features just because people refuse to read.
[Desire Android Development] koelspy:
