Thanks potter1984. In a couple of hours I've gone from a n00b to S-OFF-ing my Desire, installing the android SDK on windows and flashing the oxygen HBOOT through the command prompt, formatting my previously FAT 32 + EXT 3 partition SD Card back to FAT 32 using GParted, and now I'm ready to roll. To anyone who thinks this sort of thing is difficult, give it a go!

Thanks to all the community on here for their hard work

Finally i got the host working. I always restored adfree from titanium backup and i think the data host also got restored. Then i go in there and select revert. After that i go to recovery and flash the host and now i'm free of ads now. Thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElberethZ:
Thanks for the nice FAQ.

Instead of reinstalling everything with Titanium Backup restore I just went from a running A2SD (ext3 partition of 1GB) to no A2SD at all on 2.0-RC5 by moving /sd-ext/* to /data/ overwriting the existing symbolic links.

It is indeed faster without the ext3 partition and with the AlphaRev Oxygen HBoot I still have 50MB free for applications! Brilliant. :D

I am going to delete the ext3 partition and grew the FAT32 one to the full size of the MicroSD using Gparted.

Update: Ext3 is deleted and FAT32 is now 1GB larger. Everything went smoothly. :D

Guys, i need some advice. Everytime i try to install this rom, i get the same problem, only 114 MB of free space after full wipe/all. These are my specs ext3 part 1gig, 4gig SD card class 6. I know all about the oxygen HBOOT, but i would rather keep my ext 3 for now and just use A2SD+, can anyone tell me why i'm only getting the 114MB free of internal memory?

I have installed the dark market and it's in the new style, but dark colours rather than the bogey green as it were before!! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erroneus:
A small question, I hope somebody can answer.

I'm running RC5 with a 8gb MicroSD card. Before i flashed it with RC5, I created a 2GB partition (not sure if ext3 or ext4) for apps on the SD card via the clockworkmod menu and the rest is a 6gb FAT32 partition for "normal" use on the SD card.

I love how this works, giving me 2gb for apps, so I don't use my internal storage for Apps, which is normally quickly used up.

Now I read in this FAQ under "Ext3 partition removal", that the sd card should be one big fat32 partition, as this is faster. Is this correctly understood?

If so, is apps still installed to the SD card and will they not be affected if I go into storage mode, which unmounts the SD card, if plugging in the phone to a PC/MAC.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccy1985125:
it is because RC4/5 moved dalvik-cache back to /data which was in /sd-ext before.

if you are using Oxygen Hboot then you will have 337MB /data, it should provides enough space for you to install apps so the EXT3 is useless.

if you remove the EXT3 then all apps will be installed in internal storage (no A2SD+ anymore, but you can still moving apps to SD-FAT32 the default app2SD).

HI,

if anyone wants to try it, be careful, because this application re-define the settings of the volume button from the RC5 based (log press ...) to the default one, when the phone is running and the ffwd-rew method in suspend mode.

Unfortunately this settings kept, when the application removed...

I've just flashed the Oxygen HBoot and removed my Ext partition as suggested. The query I have is that when I look at the storage use under Application settings it shows that some apps are installed on the SD card - why is that? There's more than enough internal space available (192MB) so I don't understand why they would be installed on the SD card?

Add-on for Oxygen users in Japan

Two additional add-on for Oxygen ROM which are useful for users in Japan or if you need Japanese input:

Softbank Japan S!Mail

The S!Mail is comparable with the SMS or MMS technology that we know from Europe, this is used to communicate to other mobile phones. But it is more like email and MMS, as you send your message to a kind of email address and can add files or photos. The great thing on this is that it works like a Blackberry. Whenever someone sends you an email to your S!Mail address, it is shown immediately. No need to check your mailbox frequently.

Japanese IME for HTC Desire

You want to write in Japanese on your HTC Desire, but you do not want to flash to original Softbank X06HT ROM?

There are several solutions on the market for Japanese keyboards, but I prefer the original HTC one from the Softbank ROM. So I got my hands on a Softbank ROM with the update to Android 2.2 and extracted everything needed for the keyboard.

There is a step-by-step instruction for the installation somewhere on the internet, but I wanted something easier, so I created a signed ZIP file that you can flash from recovery mode.

Development environment questions

I would like to make some modifications in the Oxygen ROM for personal use. I have done the first steps but I have some technical issues left.

I would like to ask for somebody help in the following questions:

Are there any ways to run Oxygen with emulator and/or debug it?

What is the method to compile only the framework? (I tried "mmm frameworks/base" but it did not do anything)

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

sorry if my question has been answered before but I used the search function and it didn't give me a satisfying answer.

My camera works fine when I'm shooting photos but as soon as I change it to the camcorder the picture freezes and after 1-2 seconds my phone reboots.

I don't know if thats normal but all I could find was that there was no 720p recording and that "Video quality is still great and suits playback on the Desire perfectly". That sounds to me like video recording should work.

I had Oxygen 2.0 RC2 and installed 2.1.3 yesterday. I wiped like I should have.

Thanks for your help :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sintel:
Switched from the stock rom to this just yesterday, and been reading up, but a few things remain unclear:

wifi tweak mentioned in Q&A still necessary or fixed in 2.1.3? Nothing about it in the changelog of the rom or the kernel.

why is the radio mentioned in the OP recommended?

Is it correct that you can't change the quality of pictures taken by the camera? haven't found a setting for that.

are comments in the market separated by android version? because a lot of apps that I used and saw comments for before, do not have any comments now. so am wondering if something is wrong with my market app. even an app like busybox show no comments at all.. which brings me to:

both zeam and busybox seem not to be included, even though the Q&A/feature list mentions them? or is busybox only accessible with a terminal emulator thingy?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
There's been talk of similar issues with the stills camera too - just on the latest release. We are waiting for an updated kernel which *should* resolve the issue.

But yes, otherwise, it is meant to work ;)

No, it's been fixed for a while

Because it works ;) The latest couple of releases just don't seem quite 100%

No, you cant, so it takes them on the highest quality (which are not huge files so it's not a storage issue)

Yes, the market definitely discriminates by version, both with apps available and version. Makes it easy to see if there's specific issues with GB as opposed to FroYo, etc.

Zeam isn't included because it's not stock AOSP. This was removed in one of the later RC builds as it moved closer to stock. Busybox is definitely there - titanium backup works just fine (it relies on busybox).

Alright then lads and ladies, someone must be able to tell me this! I have searched the forums thoroughly, and the entirety of Google and I've had no luck.

Is there a way to get rid of the CRT Animation? I think it's possibly the most hideous thing to ever grace my Desire screen.

Yes yes, I know I can switch it off by going to "Settings > Display > Animation > No animations", but this is the problem. I want SOME of the animation, for example the transition between apps, the way it jumps at you, or falls out. I'm very keen for this. But the CRT Animation?! Why can't that solely be within the "All animations" section, instead of giving me nightmares.

Please, someone tell me how to do this before I go insane!

Hi guys, just a small question regarding Oxygen. I am currently running the latest version of the oxygen rom and I have a requestion regarding the resetting of the rom. One method would just be to reflash the oxygen rom from the recovery. However, android has a restore to factory setting. If I use the "restore to factory setting" option, would it reset the rom back to the first time boot version of the oxygen rom? Has anyone tried this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Depends on what you are trying to do.

If you just want to clear personal data, then a factory reset via recovery will get you back to square one. If you've flashed a mod/theme etc via recovery that you don't like or doesn't work, then you'll need to flash the original rom again but this alone won't clear personal data - it'll just replace any modded files with original.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eris Ed:
I successfully flashed Oxygen yesterday and totally loved it for about 20 minutes until I had problems restoring my apps using Titanium. Most of today I've been searching XDA and haven't found a solution.

I came from LeeDrOiD 3.0.6 with a 512mb A2SD+ partition. I had about 300mb apps on EXT3 and 130mb apps filling internal storage. Phone is s-off.

I wiped data, factory reset, and flashed Oxygen without any problems, and everything worked just fine until I downloaded Titanium from the Market and restored Apps with app data (not system data). Phone rebooted every time, even when just restoring one app at a time, and even when I tried to restore the app without data.

The only thing suggested to me is that apps I backed up that were originally stored on the EXT3 partition with LeeDrOiD's A2SD+ script may not be restoring because Oxygen doesn't know where to restore them to. Sounds plausible, but other people have said they came from A2SD+ and restored without issue.

Not sure where to go from here to get my important apps+data restored on Oxygen. I'm running the AlphaRev bravo_stock partition table and didn't use the dalvik2sd patch. I restored my LeeDrOiD nandroid for now but really want Oxygen!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Can be a couple of things.... did you make any changes to the rom .zip before you flashed it? Otherwise, sometimes re-creating the EXT partition help... Rom Manager does it easiest but it does full wipe your SD card too so make sure you back it up.

M.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eris Ed:
Thanks. No changes to the .zip, used it exactly as downloaded. I always back up my SD to PC before making any changes so I suppose I would try: 1. wipe/factory reset, 2. flash Oxygen, 3. recreate EXT3, 4. restore apps+data via titanium. Is that the best time to deal with the EXT3 partition?

Hey there,

I'm running Oxygen (2.1.3) on Desire for a few weeks now. Since a couple of days I'm experiencing battery drops in some form. It's not the typical kind of drop, like the drop from 100% to 93%.

It appears when the phone is nearly discharged about 10% to 13%. At this battery status the phone suddenly turns itself off by shutting down in normal procedure. Is this behaviour intended in Oxygen? I didn't notice that before.

What I already tried:

- I charged the phone until 100% and then wiped battery stats through Amon RAmod

- I tried the procedure which helps when you get a drop from 100% to 93% battery status after charging

Can anyone tell me something about this?

hi!

as discussed in the developer thread of oxygen, i also don't understand adam's decision to get a nexus s. in his twitter post from may 13th he says he'll never get an htc again because they sign their bootloaders. but htc already changed their minds and will no longer be locking the bootloaders.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
More than likely because a) it's relatively cheap these days - he doesn't make any money out of the Oxygen Project to fund a top-of-the-range phone, b) there is a big userbase, c) Because it's an AOSP phone he won't have issues with drivers etc, much the same as the Desire being an N1 clone.

Of course, this is only me drawing my own conclusions.. the only point out of the above I've ever seen him make was the one on price.
