Oxygen ROM [Custom Rom] [Updated 5/12/2013]

Introduction

Oxygen is an AOSP source built ROM (ie. not a mod of any sense based ROM), it's minimal, it's superfast and mostly bugfree. As Oxygen is not a mod/port of any HTC/CyanogenMod or any other ROM and may not be to everyones liking, it's minimalistic and basic but any idea and suggestion for improving the ROM are welcome.

Features

  • Flavours:
    • HTC Desire / Bravo (GSM)
    • HTC Desire C / Bravo C (CDMA)
    • Google Nexus S (Crespo, manufactured by Samsung)
    • Google Nexus S 4G
  • Based on Android v2.3.4 (GRJ22) AOSP
  • Linux kernel version 2.6.35
  • Minimal Google apps
  • Superuser
  • Busybox
  • Apps2SD
  • Adhoc wifi network support
  • Advanced power menu with reboot and screenshot options
  • Customizable overclock settings
  • Customizable status bar power widget
  • Download any file type
  • Enhanced auto backlight settings
  • Facebook contacts sync
  • FM Radio
  • Headset Icon
  • HSPA Icon
  • Improved widget picker
  • Long press back to kill mod
  • Modified Launcher2 with quick uninstall
  • Optional battery percentage
  • SIP calling over 3G
  • Text reflow when zooming
  • Track change with volume buttons


Disclaimer

The Oxygen ROM team of developers is not responsible for any damage what-so-ever done to your phone, as with any ROM, you accept this risk.

Installation

Rooting your phone

The following steps are required only if your phone has the stock ROM. The unrevoked method may be used:
  1. Go to the unrevoked website.
  2. Select the HTC Desire.
  3. Download the option for operating system on the computer.
  4. Download a recovery that fits your needs and tastes!
  5. Install HTC Sync if you haven't done it yet. It installs the drivers and a synchronization application. The synchronization application may tamper with the rooting process and you are advised to uninstall it and to keep the drivers.
  6. If you are on Windows, install the HBOOT driver.
  7. Run the unrevoked software.
  8. Turn on USB Debugging: Menu → Settings → Applications → Development
  9. Connect the HTC Desire and set the connection mode to "Charge Only"
  10. The process takes a minute or two and in the end HTC Desire should boot into the recovery.
  11. Once complete, the HTC Desire will have SU access and the recovery will be installed in place of stock recovery.

S-OFF-ing

This step is optional. The main goal of this step is to disable the NAND security. Since the radio firmware cannot be accessed to modify the NAND security flags, the Alpharev team came up with the solution of replacing the default boot loader with one which doesn't take into account those security flags. Consequently, you may brick your phone if you're not careful enough. The benefices of replacing the HBOOT are:
  • New HBOOTs come with different sizes for the /system, /data and /cache partitions. Oxygen ROM needs very small space on /system and is able to work with a very small space on /cache. It is set to save the downloads directly to the SD card (please note that third party browsers like Opera or Dolphin HD may need to be set explicitly to save the downloads to the SD card). Thus /data may be increased and one may not need to move an installed application from the internal memory to the SD card.
  • Another goal is to make it easy the flashing of the radio firmware and the recovery.
Follow these steps:
  1. Go to the Alpharev site. You may find supplementary details there.
  2. Download the AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT reflash utility. The file is a bootable ISO image which you may write on a CD or you may make a bootable USB drive with it. The Pendrive Linux site has some utilities.
  3. Boot your computer with the utility (it has been reported the process also works on a virtual machine, but in this case you must ensure the virtual host is able to communicate with the device).
  4. Plug the phone. And wait for the utility to recognize it.
  5. Choose whether you want a recovery installed.
  6. Wait for the utility to finish. This supposes more steps and several phone reboots. Consequently, it takes quite a long time.

Installing Oxygen ROM

  1. Download update-oxygen-xxx-signed.zip to your sdcard storage on your phone.
  2. Boot into the recovery through whatever method you choose (ROM Manager, Power + Volume Down, ADB etc...).
  3. Back up your existing installation.
  4. A wipe is required when first flashing Oxygen, however, unless otherwise stated, no wipe is needed to upgrade between versions.
  5. Select Install Zip from SD Card.
  6. Find the update-oxygen-xxx-signed.zip file you downloaded earlier.
  7. Choose Yes when asked to continue.
  8. Wait for the installation to finish.
  9. Select Reboot.
  10. After initial reboot, reboot a second time and you're all set.

[HOW TO] Beginners Guide to Android ROM Development



Started this tutorial in the HTC HD2-Nand forum, I think maybe someone
can find it useful 

Who is this tutorial for?
  • Absolute Beginners like me 
  • People with little or no programming skills 

This is a very basic tutorial!!
Step one: Setting up the Android kitchen




First you will need to set up dsixda's android kitchen
(All credit for the kitchen to dsixda's)

Go to dsixda's thread for a list of supported devices.
Here is a summary of the installation process( I recommend you read the tread first)

1. Before you do anything install the java jdk(find it in dsixda's thread)
2. Download and extract the cygwin_packages.zip provided by dsixda on third post
3. Run the set up(make sure there is no previous cygwin installation)
4. Follow the kitchen read me txt!!!
5) local package directory *must* be the path to the cygwin_packages folder that you just extracted

6) when it shows all the package names, go to the top and select "all <-> default" until it changes to "all <-> install" (you must click on the arrows)

7. Run the cygwin at least once and close, now you will see a folder inside the cygwin installation like this: Home\your user name\

8. Download the kitchen and extract to the home\your user name\
9. Rename the dsixda-android-kitchen-*** folder to just "kitchen"
10. Now your ready to run the kitchen type:
Code:
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)

11. If you did things right you should see this:

congratulations!!

Step Two: Setting up a working folder
1. First our folder structure should look like this:
Code:
cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen
2. Inside the kitchen it should look like this:

3. Now we need a rom to work on, for this tutorial i will use my own rom but you can use any hd2 rom. Place the original rom zip in the original_updatefolder inside the kitchen.
4.run the cygwin.exe again type:
Code:
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)
5.now enter option 1, enter again. You should see your rom listed, choose and enter
6.you will be asked about changing the working folders name, at this point it makes no difference so just continue.
7.you will be asked to convert to update-scrip do it and continue
8. Now you can view the roms info
9. congratulations you have a working folder!!!
Step Three :change/modify/update!

First I will be covering basic changes you can make to your rom, later I will be adding more helpful hints. 


Adding/removing applications
1. Go to the working folder where you extracted your rom, inside you will find:
 or 
2. Then go to "system/app" inside this folder you will find all the rom applications(apks) you may also find some in the data folder if your rom has this folder.
3. Copy, replace, and change any app(apk) be carefull if you dont know what the apk is do not delete!!
4. Congrats you have modified a rom, if your ready and want to see if it worked skip to step four to buil rom from working folder.

Adding new boot animation
1. Just replace the bootanimation.zip located in "workingfolder/system/media" with the boot animation of your choice.
here is a sample of my bootanimation to try.


Edit the gps script for your country/location
1. In the workingfolder/system/etc/ you will find a file named gps.conf, you can
edit this file with notepad++ or even word.
2. using the right gps script in this file can speed up gps lock, you can
find some from angeldeath, download extract and replace the gps.conf.


Changing the default wallpaper
1. Be very careful doing this, do not edit,delete or modify an apk without knowing what it is or does.not all things are as simple as copy and paste.
2. go to the workingfolder/system/framework/
3. Install 7zip and open the framework-res.apk
4. With in the framework-res.apk with 7zip go to "res/drawable-hdpi/" and look for the default_wallpaper.jpg. You can extract modify and replace with new one.
5. Make sure its the same file format and image dimensions.(in some roms you can also modify the default_lock_wallpaper.jpg)

MMS Fix for T-mobile
1. *I Have only tested this on MIUI Roms*
2. Go to "workingfolder/system/app"
3. Find MMS.apk
4. Right click and open with 7zip

5.Inside mms.apk go to "rex/xml/"
6.replace the "mms_config.xml" with this "mms_config.xml"

modifying build.prop

"build.prop" is a file that contains various system-vital "parameters"
Some can be modified with little risk, some can cause havoc. So Please do this Carefully!!!!!!

1. Locate the file "workingfolder/system/"
2. Open with notepad++


There is several simple changes that can be done, I will start with some and add more later. 


LCD Density
1. If you dont know anything about this topic Here is some info to get started
2.Locate this line inside the build.prop "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"

3.The only value you will modify is the "240" to your preference.


Difference is simple and visible!

Update Kernel From update.zip
Note that it's not always as easy as copy and paste

1. Extract you kernel_update.zip
2. Copy and replace the extracted files to the corresponding folders inside your finished ROM
3.Start with the boot folder

3. Than the system folder (there might be some libs and modules associated with the rom)

4. Another helpful hint is to open the updater-script
to see if your kernel requires you to delete anything for the kernel to work correctly.

sample script:
Code:
delete("/system/ppp");


-there are several other options provided by dsixda's android kitchen for that I recomend you go to the tread and read.


Step Four: repackage the rom


Now that you have made some changes it's time to test!!
1. Run the kitchen and enter option 99 - "biuld rom from working folder"
2. Choose mgldr or clk
3. I recommend that you go with all default options until you get more experience with the kitchen.
4. When its all done you will find a folder inside "cygwin/home/yousername/kitchen" called output_zip
5. Inside the folder is your new rom ready to be flashed and tested!!!

UPDATER-SCRIPT
Quote:
Thanks to user langthang for a great updater-script guide.
Download it HERE
I had a couple of request on how to get custom txt during the ROM installation in CWM,
the updater-script basically tells CWM what steps to take during the installation(flashing rom).
If you don't have any experience please don't edit anything other than what is in this simple tutorial.

1.First once you have your Rom ready in .zip format, Open with 7zip
2.Go to META-INF/com/google/android
3.Extract the updater-scrip file
4.Open with Notepad++
5.Any text that would appear during the CWM install should be in this format :
Code:
ui_print("Put your text in HERE");
Here is the requested 3d MIUI LOGO for example:
Code:
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("     ___                     ___                ");
ui_print("    /__/\\       ___         /__/\\       ___     ");
ui_print("   |  |::\\     /  /\\        \\  \\:\\     /  /\\    ");
ui_print("   |  |:|:\\   /  /:/         \\  \\:\\   /  /:/    ");
ui_print(" __|__|:|\\:\\ /__/::\\     ___  \\  \\:\\ /__/::\\    ");
ui_print("/__/::::| \\:\\\\__\\/\\:\\__ /__/\\  \\__\\:\\\\__\\/\\:\\__ ");
ui_print("\\  \\:\\~~\\__\\/   \\  \\:\\/\\\\  \\:\\ /  /:/   \\  \\:\\/\\");
ui_print(" \\  \\:\\          \\__\\::/ \\  \\:\\  /:/     \\__\\::/");
ui_print("  \\  \\:\\         /__/:/   \\  \\:\\/:/      /__/:/ ");
ui_print("   \\  \\:\\        \\__\\/     \\  \\::/       \\__\\/  ");
ui_print("    \\__\\/                   \\__\\/               ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
6.Add your text start at top and save,
then replace with new updater-scrip
congratulations!!

PROJECT UPDATE:
Quote:
Please note, as of 2012 I have semi-retired myself from this project, as I have become overwhelmed with the number of devices to support, the demand, bad health, and the constant nagging, especially with a new addition to the family and busy life.

Unfortunately I am still suffering from a torn scapholunate ligament in my hand that I incurred in late 2010 as a direct consequence of the extra time I spent on the kitchen on my laptop. Thus I cannot spend time on these kinds of activities on a regular basis. I will add updates once in a while, on my own terms, when I feel like it, but I don't want to feel obligated to do work for people especially when I am in constant pain. I am currently undergoing costly treatments for my hand.

If you would like to contribute to the kitchen, you can submit a plug-in (see post #5), or you could send me an email/tweet/"git pull request" for a specific case. I *do not* encourage people distributing unofficial copies/kangs or charging money for my kitchen as I have seen in the past.

This all doesn't necessarily mean the kitchen won't work anymore in the future. Please refer to the information in this post for how to get newer devices to work with the kitchen. I really hope this kitchen helps you out. If you want to, send me a tweet or hit 'Thanks' at the end of this post (or whatever else) to let me know it worked out for you.

Thanks for your support!

    Recovery, rather than the regular Clockwork Recovery, otherwise 
    device may not boot (possibly because custom recovery files in 
    system folder are not added to ROM? e.g. recovery.tar).
