I assume you're getting your rom from xda, what does the dev say in his thread?

 

[InfernalByte]

No.
No.
Only flash a radiuo when you NEED to. I'm guessing you don't need to.

 

[LECTER]

No.
No.

Why so negative?

Thanks.

current radio is 5.11.05.27.

in oxygen thread, it seems s-off is needed.
gingervillain didnt mention, but something abt darktremor

Darktremor is an A2SD script. See my sigi. Will go and read up on S-Off when I have time. Seems odd though.

Why so negative?

I have to resist the temptation to call a radio a wireless! Time marches on.

EDIT: Looky here under requirements http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829734

Oxygen recommends s-off for custom partition table but not needed

 

[InfernalByte]

Apologies Dan I didn't read your post.

current radio is 5.11.05.27.

Using that with Gingervillain myself. No problems.

Thanks for the tips. I flashed oxygen and restored my apps thru mybackup.
But my internal memory shows only 26mb free. I tried to use terminal emulator and "a2sd " command..but it doesnt recognize

 

[SUroot]

the a2sd command is for dark tremor a2sd. Does oxygen have that?

 

[kewlbuddy]

nope

As you know the su a2sd moves the dalvik cache to the sd card on Cyanogen, there's no reason why it won't work with Oxygen is there?

Download Darktremor from the link in my sig, go to terminal emulator and type

su

press enter, then

a2sd cachesd

the phone will reboot

In dark tremor supported ROM list, there is no oxygen

 

[kewlbuddy]

I used dalvik2cache script and now everything looks fine with my a2sd storage

oops..just discovered camcorder doesnt work with oxygen..should switch to gingervillain soon

 

[kewlbuddy]

flashed gingervillain succesfully and backed apps using mybackup root

couple of questions:
-screen doesnt lock? tried cynaogen settings..but didnt work
-apps backed up doesnt show in market as installed.. any way to know update notifications

Thanks

 

[SUroot]

1) did you do a full wipe? Locks fine for me

2) You need titanium really, as this restores market links too.

Or update to latest market via the Villain setup app. I believe this may pick up the apps.

 

[kewlbuddy]

I did wipe data/factory reset only..and then a2sd cachesd

will try latest market..Thanks

 

[kewlbuddy]

seems new market helped with apps..Thanks.

disabled Nolock app..now locking works..

 

[SUroot]

did you check lock before restoring? Did you restore anything else other than apps? settings for example?

what settings have you got in your lock settings?
