I've booted up with gparted and it seems my sdcard does not have an ext3 partition; it only has an ext2. Do I still need to remove it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
Alright this is my first stab at this and I'm (like any other newb) confused. I have an unlocked Telus Desire.

Are those steps correct?

1) nandroid backup

2) create goldcard

3) root the phone

4) install custom recovery

5) how do I know I have erasesize 40000? Where do I type "adb shell cat /proc/mtd"? I tried through ssh, but it says I don't have the permission.

6) Oxygen hboot (how do you do that in windows...it only mentions ubuntu)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Not sure if you need a Goldcard or not, I didn't need one for my Telus Desire. Make sure you've installed all the drivers you need, including the ones you get from installing HTC sync. Uninstall HTC Sync before using Unrevoked as it states then root your phone which will also install ClockworkMod recovery.

You will need to S-off before flashing the Oxygen Hboot and only install that one if you plan on flashing the Oxygen ROM. I'm running Oxygen 2.0 RC6 right now and it's awesome. So fast and clean. If you do want to flash the Oxygen Hboot you will need to do that before installing the ROM. Make sure you know exactly what you're doing before you decide to S-off.

You check the erasesize from cmd on the PC after you've installed the Android SDK.

Also, you won't be able to flash the Oxygen Hboot if you're PVT4.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
Ok, so I don't don't need to install the custom recovery then if I use Unrevoked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Unrevoked will install the Clockwork Mod custom recovery. If you want to use Amon-ra instead, download it and then in one of Unrevoked's menus you can tell it to install that as well. I'm using Clockworkmod and I like it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
ok. I already have android sdk installed. put my phone into hard drive mode via usb went into cmd, but how do you get into the phone to execute 'adb shell cat /proc/mtd'?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xp4nd3r:
use the cd command in cmd to navigate to you android-sdk folder/tools and then execute the command.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, and I'm not certain, but Charge only and not HDD mount but I could be wrong.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
not sure what's wrong...says device not found.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
You're probably missing drivers. Did you have HTC Sync installed? and did you have adb drivers installed from windows when you plugged in the phone for Hboot?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
installed HTC Sync and put it in sync mode.

all my erasesizes are 20000.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xp4nd3r:
ok you're set to go then

you can install s-off and then change the hboot to the oxygen version, let us know if you run into any trouble
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Make sure you uninstall HTC sync before rooting.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
Ok. Thanks guys! Once I get this to work on mine, I'll do the same thing on my brother in laws phone.

Can you confirm I'm getting this right:

1) nandroid

2) uninstall htc sync

3) root the phone using unrevoked3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044

What I'm still confused about is that revoked3 talks about hboot, Oxygen has oxygen hboot. which do I pick?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
You can't nandroid until you have root.

Those steps are correct. I wouldn't worry about flashing a new partition table unless you really want to. Its not nessessary but the n1 and oxygen tables will give you more internal storage, though the oxygen one will only work with the oxygen rom. After you root your phone we can deal with the tables but if you do want to flash one you will news to do so before installing a new rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
so are you saying, I don't need the oxygen hboot?

How do I back up all my info if I can't install nandroid yet, or do I just do a copy/paste of my sd card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdy:
I have a PVT4 40000 desire so I can't flash the oxygen HBOOT partition table. I needed more space for apps so I used ROM manager to get a 256mb partition which to my understanding would be available for app storage. However, my free space for apps has only increased ~60mb, is this normal?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
Even for 4kB file tests, eNAND in the Desire is older and slower tech than the SD card NAND. Two reasons for slower realized performance than individualized tests is access patterns (mostly random) and high queue depths (many parallel accesses) in real world scenarios. Both of these plummet NAND performance severely.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
No, you don't need to flash the oxygen table or any of them, you can just s-off...though the tables are the main reason to get s-off. You can always just root then install a custom rom.

Just back up your SD...I'm not sure if there's anyway to back up your system...I'm sure there is but I didn't have a need for it...just had my contacts backed up through Google.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordan.harris01:
Dvdy: if you just made a 256mb partition on your SD you still will need apps2sd to make that work.

I just rooted my HTC desire and it went fine. Now I tried to flash but I think something went wrong. I followed the instructions here:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/21/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire-2/

Step 5 it says: Scroll to Wipe Data, select wipe data/factory reset and then select wipe dalvik cache.

I selected 'wipe data/factory reset' and pressed the power button to select the field. The screen turned black (not off) and now it's been like this for 5 mins already...nothing's happening.

NEVERMIND!! I thought I had to select with the power button, but that just 'turns off' the application. Flashed the phone

First of all: thanks a lot, Adam! Great work.

The rom works pretty good on my german formerly t-mobile branded desire.

No crashes or bugs so far.

Now I tried to install the new market, but it doesn't install. It goes through the installing process but ends with 'app not installed'. I've used the app which is linked in the Oxygen FaQ + Tips thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882758

I've tried stopping the original market app, clearing its cache and installed it again. Same problem. Any ideas?

I'm not sure what could be causing this, but since I've installed this rom, I sometimes get error code 331 in my SMS.

It's weird. I'll send a message, it goes through. Later I sent another one and it fails and gives that error.

Is this information valid/related? If so it appears that my signal was weak. http://www.developershome.com/sms/resultCodes2.asp

Also how do you send undelivered messages? Froyo had an 'undelivered' folder.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
How do you stop the screen from locking whenever the power button is pressed? In froyo there was an option to set it to lock after X minutes. So if I pressed the power button and then pressed it again, it would go to the slider.

Also now the slider completely disappears when there is a password.

Could someone help with an insight?

Is there any advantage to set a swap partition with Oxygen? I currently have the Alpharev Oxygen partition table, with no ext3/4 partition.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmsxms:
I've partitioned an sdcard with fat32 + 512mb of ext2.

Is there anything else I need to do with Oxygen to make use of this? Can Oxygen only use this space when clicking the "Move to sdcard" button for the app, or is it automatic? (i.e does Oxygen mount the partition and symlink all apps to be stored there etc?).

If not - how does the Oxygen version of "Move to sdcard" differ from the stock HTC sense "Move to sd card"?

When I got my phone the 'move to sdcard' was already possible with stock HTC sense and the 4gb card that came with it. Does that mean that card had a extx partition already?

I find the 'move to sdcard' option still leaves a reasonable amount of internal memory still used. Is there a way around this?

a2sd+

I have an ext4 partition and when i install an app is installed in the partition ( sd-ext ) but for some reason the internal memory stills get used as well. What is going on ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
read my questions about s-off in this thread. page 13 I think or 14.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
A2sd on oxygen with a ext partition auto moves a part of the app to the ext partition, however a part of the app stays on the internal memory and so does the dalvik cache. This means you will lose internal memory but not as fast as without A2sd. And stop moving apps to the sd via manage applications, if you understand a2sd you would know that there is no point in that.

I think I posted a link earlier here with some more info about a2sd from a miui site, either find the link or google it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmsxms:
I've worked out that Oxygen is effectively putting apps on the sdcard when there is an ext2 partition without needing to perform a "Move to sd card" operation. However it isn't always ideal.

As an example, look at Opera Mobile. Look at the available memory when on "internal" memory vs moved to sd card. There is more internal memory availble when a "move to sd card" operation is done.

The "aps2sd, /sd-ext" implementation that Oxygen uses doesn't install the "../lib" directory of the app to the sd card. However the "move to sd card" does move this lib directory to the sd card. So for some apps, in particular those with a large lib directory (angry birds is another example) moving the app to the sd card is still an advantage even if you have a ext2 partition with Oxygen.
