Has any one updated to the latest Oxygen?
I've only been running 2.1.6 for a couple of weeks, but if the latest 2.2.1 is any better I'll gladly flash!

Any one any info?
 
I hear that FM Radio and Wifi dropout are fixed, and people are saying the battery use is better.

It doesn't fit into the Alpharev Oxygen r2 table though, as it's increased in size, so you'll need to flash another table.

Yeah its ok. No major changes except for the new market and some browser and launcher tweaks.

2.2.1 /system has increased and now is 97 mb. So check your partition size before you flash.

The dev page has moved though. It is now at
Oxygen Forum.

Edit: wifi dropout was there in 2.2. Fixed in 2.2.1. It can get into the oxygen r2 table at 97 mb.
 
thanks for the info folks..
will maybe give it a whirl. Is the New market OK on our Desires? I've heard it can be sluggish?
 
file doesn't flash properly, goes too fast to see what comes up on the screen though. I end up back at main CWM screen, rebooted phone and straight back into 2.1.6???
EDIT, Scratch taht, rebooted back into CWM now its flashed!
 
first impression are...
its Oxygen 2.1.6 lol! Doesn't feel much different to 2.1.6, which is not a bad thing! as 2.1.6 which very good.
its maybe a little smoother, battery life is supposed to be better, but not had chance to check this out really.
certainly worth flashing...
EDIT: It DOES fit in the in the Oxygen R2 table
 
nice :D

AdamG originally said it wouldn't fit, which was for 2.2 I think, so the following iteration has evidently shrunk it again.
 
I have not had time to update my ROM from v2.1.6 yet. I'm not too hasty though, because v2.1.6 is excellent as it is.
v2.2.1 may barely fit into the r2 table, but I'd like to have a bit of a more space there (min 5MB). Last time I was on a CM7 ROM, Google pushed Books app into phone's /system partition without asking me. This caused boot issues for people who didn't have enough space there.

3.28MB free according to QSI. I could probably do away with a couple of standard apps if need be (don't use GMAIL, music, sound recorder..)
