Root Redux

[shauny13]

Have nandroid back to redux as i get much better battery life than oxygen. Can i flash the themed version straight over the non themed version or will i need to wipe first? Also does the themed version fit in the oxygen hboot table? Thanx.

I've flashed between themed and unthemed without a wipe. I don't think there's any great difference in ROM sizes.

what "extras" do you get in the theme? redux wallpaper, differnt icons or what? im running none themed and wondered which to choose :S

Different statusbar icons, green overscroll glow. That's all I can remember being different really.

only issue I had with the themed version was when I added a UOT Kitchen thing, the battery icon didn't allow me to show the percentage. It just showed me an icon more akin to a usb sign.

Is Redux THAT much better than Oxygen for battery life? I find Oxygen fab, even OCed to 1113mhz!

was for me, oxygen was terrible on battery for me.

Strange how every one is different! Redux is one to try in the near future!

@shauny - yep, running themed version and it fits Oxygen R2 hboot with about 5MB to spare

UOT circle battery mod works fine on mine (always do a cache and dalvik wipe before i flash UOTs just in case). Have you changed the battery style in the Interface menu, 'cos I haven't touched that since flashing battery mod?

Probably not that much.
I did however had a much better battery life with Oxygen, compared to CM7.

@saltire thanks for that. I don't use the themed version now. I use the non-themed and my Kitchen works fine.

I think I remember when I had the problem before as I mentioned the usb sign came up when I went into the Interface settings and changed to show percentage.

I am happy with the settings I have now but if I change to the theme version again i will try and remember your advice.
