[ROM] Nick's Phone V1.2 Based On Oxygen 2.3.2 [19.03.2012]

Nick's Phone V1.2 Based on Oxygen 2.3.2

For the past few months I've been working on my own ROM I use daily on my HTC Desire and I've been pretty happy with the outcome. I just wanted to put it onto this site to give back to the community and hopefully this might make some people keep their Desire's a little longer!

This ROM is based on AdamG's Oxygen 2.3.2 so anything in that is going to be in here.

This ROM will fit into CM7R2 (150MB /System) Hboot or bigger. It has roughly 25MB free space on /System so feel free to add some of your own applications in if you want to. I added more applications so it fills my /System instead of having spare space and wasting it. I didn't want to use a custom HBoot so just filled it with applications I use myself. On my own phone I have beautiful Widgets and some other bought Apps which obviously I couldn't add in here as they need to be paid for.

I've also released this to the community so you can give me feedback on how I can improve my own phone / ROM because this is my daily ROM and I'm always open to improvements

I would recommend a FULL WIPE before installing this ROM and to make it even better I would also recommend re-partitioning your SDCard with GParted and setting up a FAT32 partition followed by a 1024MB EXT4 partition. That way everything is starting from fresh and you will experience the full benefits of this ROM. I use CWM 2.5.0.7 and it sometimes causes my market downloads to fail if I full wipe my phone and I don't repartition using GParted.

The additions I've put in are as follows:

ICS theme with my own slight tweaks
GoLauncher EX - With ICS Theme
GoLauncher Notifications, Calendar and Note
Stop Watch & Timer modified by me
Adfree
Droidwall
Convertpad
Music2 V4.1.512
ES File Explorer
Google Maps & Streetview

I've also added the following tweaks:

720p HW Playback
Trackpad to wake (NOT to unlock)
SDCard buffer modified to 1024KB
& lots of build.prop tweaks listed here:

Themed the menu icons from grey to white in most applications

Changelog from V1.0:

T9 Dialler integrated
Added ICS Fonts
Changed Bluetooth symbol and fixed it not showing when devices are connected
Updated Go Launcher Ex (new version since V1.0)
Changed the anorexic close folder icon (triangle) in the Go Launcher custom folder window (Didn't look right)
Rotated the ICS expander icons so they are consistent in the T9 dialler window. E.G. T9 dialler uses expanded down to expand and expander up to minimze. ICS expander icons had the expander pointing right to expand (now down) and down to minimise (now pointing up!)
Changed the GMail notification back to just blue ICS instead of having a red M, it looked a little tacky because the Desire screen made it look pink rather than red!
Colour coded the bluetooth file transfer notification icon, I missed it before and it was still grey!
Added an updated version of Google Talk to the ROM and colour coded it back to ICS

Thanks!

Additional Changes You Might Want To Make:

1. _Thalamus released a new kernel here which has a speed benefit to SD card access and seems to be slightly improved. I've tried it and it works fine and SD transfer speed to the phone is indeed faster.

1.1 There's a bug in all the versions of my ROM when you go to the Brightness settings under Widget Buttons. It causes a FC due to decompiling issues so I've attached a fix to this post that will resolve this and it also includes the latest market too. If you can't flash the zip from recovery please copy and paste the files manually into /system/app/ using ES file explorer.

Additional Theming Changes:

I've been asked quite a few times now about the picture I use in my signature, which Widget it is etc or the clock widget. The clock widget is Beautiful Widgets and it's a super clock 4x2 widget on the homescreen with a clock skin called GalaxyTab10. I've recently changed the clock skin to Roboto Clear which matches the ICS font nicely! But my signature picture is a little behind.

The calendar screenshot is the Go Calendar with the ICS theme by 11. Gravity and it's about 80p on the market. I think it's well worth it and it goes with the ICS layout nicely!

1A. Kom-Si has mentioned that the GMT timezones for this ROM (and Oxygen) are wrong for certain countries and has suggested the following fix:

I personally used Timezone Fixer app available on the Market. there's also a flashable zip I found on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7484380.

2. NOT NEEDED FOR ROM V1.1Thanks to ToastnButter for mentioning this but I originally wasn't a fan of the ICS roboto font but it is growing on me so if you want to use it please flash the zip found here in recovery. NOT NEEDED FOR ROM V1.1

( FontPack-Roboto_E2.zip - I know it's from the HTC Buzz forum but it worked on my Desire )

4A. THIS IS STILL NEEDED FOR ROM V1.1 BECAUSE RUSSIAN IS WRONGRussian T9 Predictive Dialler - Thanks to Kom-Si for reporting that the Russian dialler buttons were wrong! I've fixed this now and the flashable zip for Russian buttons is attached to this post as well. THIS IS STILL NEEDED FOR ROM V1.1 BECAUSE RUSSIAN IS WRONG

if i delete some apps in rom zip,do i instal on cw hboot?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

If you mean the 100MB /System HBoot then it will fit but you will have to remove a lot of stuff. Go Launcher EX is bigger than Launcher2 so you would need to remove extras like Music2.apk and possibly GMail.apk etc as well as everything else I added (Maps, ConvertPad, Stop watch etc etc)

And is this multilanguage or only English ?

Thanks.

It should be multilanguage if that's what the original Oxygen 2.3.2 was because I've not removed anything only added or changed things.

Good question though because I've only ever used English! Sorry.

digital clock in your signature picture "nick phone" is ???

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Unfortunately that's Beautiful Widgets and the GalxyTab10 theme for it with the transparency set to 100%.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.levelup.beautifulwidgets&feature=search_result

I couldn't include that in the ROM because it's a paid for App on the market sorry.

The calendar widget on the left is also a paid App on the market by 11 Gravity and is a GoWidget ICS theme pack:

https://market.android.com/details?...owidget.elvngravity.ics&feature=search_result

The ones that are free are in the ROM but anything that has to be paid for is removed, sorry.

Hi Nick,

your rom looks very nice.
Before install I have a question: Is some form of ap2sd implemented.
I ask because of the required ext partition.

Cheers,
Rico

Click to collapse

I believe Oxygen has a form of ap2sd built in yes, I notice on my phone that it is being used when viewed in Titanium Backup.

Q: What A2SD does this support?
A: Oxygen supports "froyo style" apps2sd, it also supports A2SD with an EXT3 or EXT4 partition.
By default the dalvik cache is not moved to SD for performance reasons. This means that your internal memory still gets decreased. If you still want it, mattmann83 created an edify compatible script here

If I could offer one suggestion, the setting

# Raise JPEG Quality to 100 percent
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

is probably unnecessary to have that high. 100% will give you a much larger file and probably no noticeable difference to 95-99%.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Well this is very strange! I just tested that and 2 pictures of the same area came out at 901KB and 903KB at 100 percent quality and when I did two more with the setting at 95 they came out at 939KB and 1.03MB!!!

Maybe that setting doesn't do anything or rather it's doing something wrong I'm not sure but the file size is bigger when I say 95 percent for quality!

I'm not doing the 100% same picture every time but it's definitely not making much difference to the look of the picture! Just the size... Strange!

EDIT: Just tried on 5 percent because it was bugging me if it really did make a difference and I guess either this doesn't make a difference or it's changed somewhere else in the Oxygen ROM after the build.prop file has been executed. The file size was even bigger than when I did the test on 95! But only slightly and it's most probably because I'm not taking the exact same picture with the same lighting every time. I grabbed those build.prop changes from quite a few sources so I guess they're all wrong or it used to make a difference but doesn't now on the latest Oxygen ROM.
