flashed oxygen rom last night and although its fast there is a distinct lack of features compared to 2.2 sense stock
no google maps or navigation, no youtube and a load of other things
what gives?
They're removed as you can download them yourself from the Market so don't need to be included in the ROM. Simple really
It is meant to be clean, all the stuff you mention you can download from the market. If you can't download it form the market it's probably a sense feature.
And opening a new thread for this makes no sense
can google navigation be downloaded off the market?
with the voice instructions when using gps
It's part of Google Maps, as you can see here:

hmmm i might reflash oxygen this weekend then
only played with it for an hour last night
does anyone know how to do the app cube on oxygen
seen it on youtube when the app drawer was open the user could spin a 3d cube with the apps on each face
how do you do that on oxygen?
Pretty sure it's a different launcher, Oxygen uses Zeam. If you've got a video I'll check it out
ADW Launcher has a 3D cube interface and LauncherPro can enable a 3d effect app drawer as well.

cheers
are both those options free? or a paid app on market?
ADW comes in free and paid for versions, with more functions in the paid one

Same problem I have with the rom. its super fast but my contacts are used a lot ( it is a phone right) and not having my contacts sync properly is kind of a deal breaker for me.... That and the whole video thing with the gingerbread series of builds...
When editing a contact, press menu and you will have the option to JOIN contacts

I know about that feature but what I'm talking about is the contacts not syncing properly at all with either twitter or, mostly, facebook contacts.

I found that, but it's pain to join hundreds contacts knowing that I had done it before and it should link most of them automatically.
Does all 2.3 roms have this problem?
Contact sync (I assume Facebook pic sync, birthday calendars, events, etc) are part of the stock sense.
You can replace all of them using apps from the market (free and paid ones...depending on what you want)
E.g:
For facebook pic sync you can use SyncMyPic
For birthdays Ebobirthday
Just google how to include the birthday calendar in your google calendar (pretty cool feature of google calendar that I didnt know was there until I played with this)
As a launcher...I use launcherPro (IMHO, the best one on the market after trying pretty much everything out there). Using the paid version to get a pretty cool (better than the sense one) People widget. It also have a "FriendStream" like widget if that is what you want.
Pretty sure Oxygen will be changing the default laucher as Zeam seems to be not longer maintained (which is a shame...it was pretty good)
PS: sorry, I cant post URL until XDA allows me to
The "Cubed" launcher can be found in the app store if you search "Steven Lin"
As an FYI that is the GingerBread [2.3] launcher. its pretty cool

It'll do them automatically if you have the same name saved on your phone as it appears on Facebook. If not, you'll have to manually join them. No way of getting around it
update FACEBOOK 1.9.. sooooo damn smooth!! update people
I got fed up waiting on the Facebook app to be good and finally bought friendcaster pro. The interface, speed, and options are leaps and bounds better. And push notifications with pop ups that actually work better than the official app IMHO. Another one to keep an eye on is fast Facebook which is still in beta but very promising.

App got quite the overhaul it seems, despite the sparse changelog.
First thing I tried though was contact sync and it still tried to sync all my contacts instead of existing ones, so I guess that's still broken.
I am so pissed that Facebook is shoving crap down my throat.
I don't want a Messenger and Camera app installed with Facebook.
Tempted to uninstall it now

Seriously...
It's bad enough that I have two camera apps (Fx Camera and Instagram) now you give me another one? Stop with these redundancies and make your app more cohesive and streamlined FB.
I'm still sticking with the mobile site.
Facebook is like a virus. They called their new shortcuts 'Camera' (like Google) and 'Messenger' (like Google). What's next? Calendar and People?

They can't be disabled either. Unreal.
The most confusing thing has to be the messenger. Do they want us to use the dedicated messenger app or the one in the FB app because now there is a shortcut for both in the app drawer
Facebook need to get slapped. All there apps sucks on android. Going to get my hands on apk of facebook . Then rip that **** right out of it... Hey mark. Hope Ur reading this..

It is seriously smooth and improved. Not a fan of the "camera" app, but I already had their Messenger app installed so this just replaces it.

Yeah they want you to use the new one I'm assuming. Although it just opens the FB app and moves to that tab. If you close it then open the FB app from its main icon, you just get taken to the messenger tab. Might as well just use the app only and hit the tab manually. At least its not super slow anymore so it'll be easy.
Honestly they can instantly remedy this by giving us settings options to show/hide the Camera and Messenger app shortcuts.
Can anyone explain how I can just install a facebook apk that doesn't include the shortcut icons?
If not, im removing facebook from the phone and using the web version instead.
far out I wish facebook wasn't used by so many people because I hate it.

I deleted mine and couldn't be happier, I'm a decently social person, but I just find it a waste of time, but that is just me.
As for the a unified app, that doesn't have those shortcuts, I think I might be able to edit the apk, I'll give it a try.
Its so stupid to have two messenger icons... plus a extra camera button... is this why FB bought instagram? Just to have their own camera shortcut?

since instagram released, i have been using fb less and less.
So Facebook loads up quicker now? I've noticed after using facebook for couple of days, it'll load slower. Tried it on two gnex, same result.

Let me know how you go
I just uninstalled the app, and will use the mobile site from now on.
Is facebook also having the age-old wake-lock issue? Back when I installed it (Literally 2 months ago) I always had wake-lock issues under BetterBatteryStates called something "katana" even with manual syncing. Probably the reason why I hate the app so much.
Still doesn't load my news feed. Stupid app. Back to friendcaster!

The interface was different for a second (messenger icon on top-right, able to post a status update without navigating to a screen outside of the News Feed), but then when I went to post a status update it FC'd and reverted to the old layout.
What?

Same for me as well. Weird.
I can't ask in the dev forum and I don't see a General thread for this ROM. Since this seems to be the best JB rom for our phone, we probably need to have a place to discuss things outside of the Dev thread. Anyway, I have some specific things I want to ask about...
1. Lock Screen question -- Is there a way to add actions like the unlock or mute? I wanted to put the unlock in a different spot but don't know what Slider shortcut to use. I have tried looking through both the Activities and the Nova Activities. I just don't see how to do either of those two. Anyone know, short of installing another app or lock screen?
2. GMail double notification -- I may have done something wrong, but I can't find it right now. When I get a GMail email, I get two notifications. They are both the GMail symbol. And the notification drawer shows two items, one with a big chunk of the preview and one with the subject and "Important". I suspect I did something in GMail to cause this and it isn't ROM specific.
3. Pandora doesn't seem to work. I think I saw in the Dev thread mention of people having issues too. I only ever use it at work where I only have 3G, so I haven't tested on WiFi. What is irritating is that on my last ICS ROM I was running I had this issue solved by uninstalling it, rebooting and clearing caches, and reinstalling. I have tried that and fixing permissions. All in multiple orders and combinations, no luck.
Other than those three things and the standard 4G/FFC known issues, this is a great ROM. Thank you Mazda.
#1 issue.........this will come in the next update, stay tuned and it will come
#2 issue.........Try to uninstall gmail and install it again, I use gmail most then anything and I've yet to get this issue
#3 issue.........What exactly is the issue with Pandora?? If is a FC or something, could you pull a logcat and post it on pastebin and then provide me with the link?
Thanks and look forward to improving the ROM and making it great!

Great, thanks for the response.
#1, yea, it will work the way it is, I just thought the existing actions would do it and I just missed which one.
#2, thanks for that idea, don't know why I didn't think of reinstall, I guess I had it in my mind that Gmail is part of OS, not really a specific app. I just did it and will test. I am sure that will fix it since I think I did something obscure.
#3, Pandora acts like it is all working, I have logged in and have my playlists but when I select something is just doesn't play the music, sits on a song for some time (maybe buffering but not always) and then moves to the next song and tries to play that one but never does, then next song. Never playing music...
Thanks again for both responding and for the work on the ROM.
Just a thought on #2, but go in to your account settings and make sure you don't have notification settings for more than one inbox (ex. Inbox and Priority Inbox). I've had this happen in the past. Just change your account settings.

Sorry, I should have posted again. Reinstalling worked for me. But I think you are right in your suspecision, I think I might have had that Priority Inbox checked. Reinstalling resulted to starting over with configuring it though. I think it all started going downhill when I didn't have the sync set right, so I wasn't getting notified due to the sync not running, then start checking everything. Thanks.
Now the only mystery I have left is Pandora...
Not sure what the deal might be with Pandora. I've used it on and off in the past with mixed success. It might be worth seeing if it works with a different ROM. That might narrow down where the issue is, at least.

Hey XDA,
I have a problem regarding the gallery app on the LG G4. I recently discovered that when I try to edit a picture, I can add all the filters, crop an Image and fine tune the colors but once I hit the check mark to save/apply these changes, the phone returns to the gallery without any changes to the original picture.
This is not the "unable to save changes" error, I do not get any message from the system at all (though the first time I tried to edit a picture, the app froze and displayed an empty pop up. I was forced to close it from the app overview then. Ever since, I see such a white pop up blink for a split-second when entering edit mode, though no text is displayed. I am not sure if this is relevant).
Anyway, I only found this post on reddit dealing with the same error, but since it is archived, one cannot reply there. I would be really thankful if you could point me into the direction of a fix for this.
Best,
morw
It could be a bug in the software a sort of compatibility issue download for the latest version of the apk or wait for anothr version or try using another apk...

Got the same.. "Use another app" is not a solution. I want to use the builtin app as did it in G3..
Since the latest update, when I open the phone app for the first time (or after it shuts down from timeout), a few of my favorites seem to "flash". If this doesn't make sense, I'll try to post attach a video later tonight. Can anyone tell me why this is and how to disable it?
Instructions to reproduce: Click favorites on phone app so it is first to display on reopening. Force close phone app. Open phone app.
So, after playing with this more, I found out that this only happens when I'm signed in to my Duo account. The contacts that flash don't seem to coincide with those who have Duo access, especially since one of the accounts that flash is a landline only account.
So far, I haven't been able to find a fix or a way to disable this. It is super annoying when I'm used to just opening the phone app and clicking on a favorite, only to have it fail because the favorite flashed and didn't capture the touch input.
I agree this is due to Duo....havent looked into it, but yeah its a bit annoying IMHO too!
Seems to be solved in the latest update of the dialer app (I received it this morning): 76.0.431816759
