Confusion about a2sd version

Hello.

Which version of a2sd does oxygen use?

Is it darktremor version or something else?

It must be someting else because the commands "a2sd" does not work in terminal.

Also i cannot use this prog:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991684

because it requires darktremor a2sd!

What should I do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdadhemar:
Oxygen uses the stock Android 2.3 app2sd feature. It does not use a particular software from the community, just pure AOSP software.

If you are S-Off and use the Oxygen HBOOT provided by Alpharev then you do not need anything more than the stock AOSP app2sd feature, believe me : you will have all the place you need on the phone and even more.

I highly recommend you the Oxygen HBOOT from Alpharev.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
Hello sir. You are wrong.

It DOES use some sort of a2sd, at is does use my external ext3 partition. I just dont know which version is uses. Maybe something AdamG has writen himself?

I will not yet play around with Alpharev just yet, as I dont want too much hassle, and it will increase complexity regarding flashing radio etc..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
What should i do with the init script?

It does not answer my question really!

--

And also if i would like to have a look in this file(not though the phone screen that is), is it possible to do, without connecting the phone with the PC. I was thinking wifi over some ssh, ftp or some other connection?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdadhemar:
You are right, my mistake. If an ext3 partition exists on the SD card then a a2sd script will be used.

However this is by far not the recommended setting. Indeed you lose both space on your SD Card and speed since the SD card read/write are slower than on the phone's internal memory.

Since Alpharev kindly provide a HBoot dedicated to Oxygen rom you have the ability to have a very big /data partition and thus make SD card ext3 partition useless.

But this is just a mater of choice, of course :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmanuf:
Do people consider the 300mb partition large enough for their app usage when using alpharev?

Are there any downsides of exchanging the original hboot with the new one other than the more cumbersome flashing of new radio?

Is it a must that I install the android SDK?

One last question.. Do anyone know if anything bad happens if i delete the /etc/init.d/s10app2sd file?

--

300mb should be running out fast, when considering flash(15mb), google earth(20mb), angry birds(15mb) and so on.. I would think that it runs out fast?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davedes:
I have 68 apps on my phone & still have 172mb left. 300mb is more than enough in my opinion. All apps don't have to stay on phone you can still move apps to SD.

What version Radio are you running and have you tried flashing a different one?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdavey:
Angry birds installs to SD by default regardless of the script in use (at least it has on mine and I have the Alpharev Oxygen HBOOT). Not sure about the others.

Is there a way to relate the version string of the kernel in Settings->About Phone to the versions in thalamus site?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanbase:
I agree, just flash oxygen hboot leave everything the way it is, make sure you have an ext3/4 partition on your sd (1gb more than enough)

and you will have all the space needed for your apps.

If you notice any lags in normal use, I highly doubt it, then try without ext3 by removing the init.d script prior to flashing.

ps with adb wireless and the sdk tools installed on your pc, you can get in to the shell of your desire without hooking it up to your pc...

The best way to calibrate the battery on Oxygen?

My battery is ok, but not good. I take it out in the morning and have to charge it at night again(it's around 20-30% then).

Do I first wipe battery stats and then follow this:

Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandall:
I have seen some problems reported doing this, but it worked for me.... wipe stats AFTER you have completed the steps.

Unable to detect SD card

Ermm can anyone help me with this?

i'm facing this situation in which the ROM is unable to recognize the sdcard.

I have just flashed RC4 full wipe/all and i am left with 114mb internal storage, is this about right? I have an ext3 part, but i don't really want to wipe it and have the oxygen HBOOT, i assume that i can still run the rom without doing so?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:
Dose sound a little low. And why don't you want the oxygen hboot? Its faster than having a ext3. I had an ext3 but just backed up. Flashed the oxygen hboot via fastboot. Then then wipe everything including davlik cache. Then install rc4.

But yes you can run the rom with an ext3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
Well the honest reason is because i love HTC sense! But i do like to play with oxygen now and again, i suppose im trying to convince myself to switch to AOSP, and i do keep it for a week or two..... But always end up going back to a sense/HD ROM....... Anyway, i have just done a restore of my essential apps (around 20-30) and I'm now down to 57mb internal, i still have 763 on my ext3 so im not really concerned with space, but will it effect performance in any way?

To enter fastboot press = (Back+POWER) -> open up a termon ubuntu or on windows, a CMD shell, then enter the below

Last is about the battery... any idea's of tips for a better battery life?

In other words, I'm giving default Gingerbread auto backlight a chance, and it's fine for me.

Of course, if you want to play with Oxygen auto backlight tweaks, I suggest you to increase "Sample interval" to 5 or 10 seconds.
