Dunno what the difference is as I haven't looked into the other one. But as thalamus being one of the devs of Oxygen I guess thats the one going into one of the next updates.

Revert or not, idon't know. Just try it out. Thats what backups are for

Hey, thanks for the hint. I will read the Alpha-Instructions . I appreciate it !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mixy:
This will probably sound strange, but i have a feeling something is a bit off..

What i mean is that after a full wipe and flash of Oxygen 2, you are supposed to get the Oxygen background, right? The other thing that is odd is that nomatter what, when i log into google, market starts installing apps. To stop this, i have to go into the menu, uncheck "backup my settings" and then kill the Market app. It has also installed updates from the beginning.

Have tried it several times now, with different kernels. Have tried reflashing, i even transferred Oxygen to my phone with a USB cable to make sure.

Is there any way to disable this "backup" from start? Do i need to skip the login after flash, then uncheck before i log in? Can i "delete" my backup from google somehow?

Am i just crazy, or is something off?

EDIT: Having a little paranoia for strange things after my camera suddenly collapsed today (nothing to do with oxygen or the kernel, just a coincidence, but still...) Worked like i wanted after a new flash, and then without logging in, disabling the backup. Still want to know how i can delete the REALLY old backup tho.. :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
No, they will get updated to the data partition and you'll have them "double".

Don't know how much space you need in system but since you can't write to it anyway I wouldn't know why it would need free space.

Since you have oxygen hboot I wonder why you bother to move stuff to system, do you need the space that bad?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3tybagig:
I cleared out nearly 20MB of space from system so rather than just leaving it as wasted space I thought I'd make use of it.

I think a better question might be why have separate partitions for ; cache, system, data?

Why not just have a cache partition, and leave the rest dynamic. Just like a standard linux system? Then you can load up your data or system folders with whatever best suits your needs.

Insane Battery Drain

My oxygen 2 is draining insane amounts of juice because of some unknown reason to me. The logs I have collected via current widget showed me no difference in apps running while the consumption was around 70mA per minute and 6mA per minute. After an hour or so this stops and the consumption is back to 6-8mA per minute.

I have taken the device from charge at 8:00 am and in 6 hours I have lost 30% with wifi/3g data on, 5 mins of phone call. Android OS is draining 49% of my battery as the battery stats shows me.

The only solution I came to this is to do a complete wipe and do a re-flash and let google restore my apps. I say this because that's what i did when I came from Oxygen 1.0.4 to DevNull where I have experienced no problems at all. If you have another solution or idea please let me know.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashkid:
Maybe it is because these apps are syncing at these moments or do some other stuff? Try to disable all the sync options in your running apps..

I have only lost 10% battery since 15hrs with no running apps. Will install my apps step by step to see, which app does increase the battery drain.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earanor:
yeah that come to my mind too. however i could not set the sync interval for google account. facebook is already set to 6 hours. other than that i am using only whatsapp which is counted as a syncing app.

i have uninstalled launcher pro to see if it's destructive incompatibility with 2.3.3 is causing this.

Launcher Pro is a battery drain in my experience on 2.0

switched over to adw and now getting increased battery life with moderate use.

currently sitting on 88% battery after 3h 36m, this is with :-

1. google sync on for calender/mail

2. K9 sync every 1 hour for imap mail

3. mucking around with adw launcher and setting it up.

4. Power tutor running in the background.

5. snowstorm widget updating every hour

6. moderate use of FB, reading emails and texting

7. set cpu on with profile setup for screen off

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akand074:
Hey guys,

So today I finally had time to upgrade to Oxygen 2.0.1 from RC7. I ran into a few issues. First off, I set up the oxygen partition table, did a complete wipe, then installed Oxygen 2.0.1. I then went on to bring back my data (such as sms and call logs) and messaging has been crashing all the time and taking forever to do anything. I never was able to even open a conversation log.

I then recovered my RC7 using my nandroid backup. I tried installing Oxygen 2.0.1 over RC7 (without wipe) everything ran fine except for my google account was gone. I didn't have any of my contacts and every time I tried to open the market/gmail it would crash and I couldn't re-setup my google account.

Basically, I have my phone now setup exactly as I want it, in terms of looks/apps/saved data in RC7.. basically I want to use Oxygen 2.0.1 instead, but keep everything else the same.

Anyone else have a similar issue when doing a clean install? It would have probably been fine had it not been for my messaging crashing. Maybe I should try another clean wipe and see what happens?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martijn_bakker:
This might be a silly question.. but do you restore your Google account through Titanium or do you log into it at first boot?

A number of people have been reporting this issue (although not usually as something that occurs after a full wipe). It might be interesting to know when and how it occurs so we can avoid it.

We can add a Google account

- during setup at the first boot after a wipe

- through account settings of an existing install

- by restoring settings from a previous install

I usually find that setting the account during the setup phase at first boot is the safest.

Hey, i've been having some trouble with Google Nav (the official one, not BRUT) where after using it for around 5 minutes, my phone reboots.

It happened before while using the Oxygen RCs, and i assumed it was because of the lack of the N1 drivers. But it is still happening on Oxygen 2.0.1, even after a full wipe.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matjek:
I flashed the latest kernel linked in the short FAQ in the ROM thread to fix the issue where you can't see your WiFi hotspot, but the problem persists.

After rebooting I still couldn't find my WiFi network (added it manually, that didn't help either).

Anything else I can try ? All I tried myself after realizing it wasn't fixed was wipe the dalvik cache.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi all,

i have got a different question. My battery life seriously went down after installing Oxygen 2.0.1 (yes, i fully wiped + wiped dalvik cache + restored only the apps, not the related data, with titanium backup).

Things i've done so far:

- disabled auto sync

- tweaked the brightness sensor

- set wifi sleep to never

But still i only get about 16 hours of battery life with my htc desire...

So what could cause the Problem? And, which is also of importance for me, can i undervolt the Kernel or use an undervolted kernel with oxygen rom 2.0.1? Are there any recommendations?

Sincerely,

Bobuscho

Install current widget or something similar and log the standby mA. During standby it should be between 4-10 mA with normal connection strength. If it's significant higher you have a bad app/setting. If it's not higher there isn't much you can do except use your phone less.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've done this yesterday and today, as you adviced.

In standby, i get a drain of 160 - 460 mA (!), but how do i point out, which process causes the drain? CurrentWidget only shows a list of processes, if i get this right...or does it sort the processes with the one that consumes most at first? (This would be com.google.calendar)...

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Don't think it sorts it but now you know there is a standby issue. First thing to check is the built in battery stats (settings-about phone-battery use) and see if something is high up there which doesn't make senses. It should be a app and not: screen, wifi, mobile standby or something similar.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perangbintang:
sorry if this sound silly, but 4-10mA with screen on or off?

on my desire, with screen off it only consumes 4mA-7mA (the widget refresh every 60 sec, so when i turn the screen on, i can still see the usage when the screen was off).

with the screen on, the current is around 175mA-200mA with 3G/HSDPA connection on (H icon in the notification bar).

is this considered normal?

if i see the battery use in the setting, the display does take 60-80%, while Android OS only take 2-3%, Cell Standby 2-6% and other apps between 3-7%.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
If standby is 4-7 mA when the screen is off there isn't much you can do to extend your battery life. Are you sure it's significantly shorter then your previous rom (with same usage)?

You can use apps like juice defender and low brightness but that's not ideal, also if you want a undervolted kernel try this or this, again not ideal.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
I personally think the Animated Weather app is a very good, free weather widget, and Mag Flashlight app is very similar to HTC Flashlight app. The other essential app I'm sort of crazy about is Screen Filter ;)

Thanks much for the list. It helped me many with some basics that I always search for with a new ROM.
