seems very nice - smooth - works well with no issues for me on desire
cheers

i have the 2.7.2 oxygen based version on my wifes desire, i tested the cm7 one but the oxygen one is much smoother and less of a drain on the battery. yes there are less customisable options but if you are using mildwild then you have chosen it because of the way it looks and feels so i dont understand the cm7 need if you understand what im saying.
mildwild is that aesthetically pleasing i was almost tempted to move to it from DGB but i would require to partition my sdcard and change hboot. neither of which i want to do.
im not questioning your choice. Mildwild itself I sort of understand but then taking the mildwild idea and just putting it on other roms, seems a bit odd.

thats what i meant by my post suroot.
i dont understand the need for it to be on CM at all
mildwild is an awesome looking version of oxygen and has all the benefits so why does he compile it on a battery inefficient rom????
cm7 drains battery as fast as sense does
the oxygen based mildwild has the best battery life ive seen tbh and i dont know how

I think Rasta's point back at the start was that the MildWild look is there in both.
Been a while since I tried a different ROM (well, since late August really, apart from a couple of days with Redux2), so I'm almost tempted - and the comments about battery life are intriguing. I have stripped the Oxy version down to the point where it will certainly fit the Oxygen r2 table, maybe even original Oxygen, but sort of feel that if I'm going to fiddle with ROMs I should go the whole way and give ICS a spin.

hi Hadron.
go on, give it a try :-D
I did have a read of some of the ics rom stuff around at the moment,
but still a.bit to early stages for me....I do need my phone to work normally
...but I don't think it will be long now though.
....plus I read that you can't restore apps at all. plus new hboot etc...so much bigger job.
not something I want to do without a clear head :-D

For me more not something I'd want to do without more time. Anything bigger than my stripped version of Redux2 is a new hboot for me anyway, but there will be a lot more fiddling to install and set up an ICS ROM than a GB one, and having to reinstall apps from scratch does make that something I don't want to do too often, so I might be leaving that a bit longer. But the itch is just beginning to make itself felt (and I won't be buying a Nexus in order to scratch it!).
There's a fairly large "tweaks" script in the MidlWild Oxygen init.d folder. I've not analysed them, but presumably these are related to the battery performance.
Hmm, I have the MildWild zip cut down to 47MB, which unzips to 78MB. I cooked myself an 80MB hboot at the same time as my current one (though I've never used it), so probably could do this without having to resort to a2sd (though I still have an ext partition). Really should be doing other stuff today though, and I've no actual reason to change ROMs, so it would just be curiosity. Hmm, see if I get bored later...

rofl this is amazing.
as i read this you are slowly convincing yourself you should be doing it but at the same time you are slowly doing it.
its like two consciousnesses fighting eachother on the post.
out of interest, what have you stripped from this one

I just removed tts languages, most sounds and some apps that I didn't need or would be using as user rather than system apps. Would have removed live wallpapers if I'd spotted any. Also replaced the keyboard and launcher with smaller versions (the ones from dGB), since I'd be using my apps for these anyway and would only need the ROM's version until I could run Titanium.
It's more that I cut things down out of curiosity to see how small it got. Actually installing could still go either way - flashing hboot, restoring from Ti, setting up again would take a lot longer than the stripping down. I used to do this regularity with CM nightlies, so it doesn't require a lot of thought on my part to remove this level of stuff.
Kind of related topic, i'm new to the whole rooting thing (but it's stupidly addictive to keep changing ROMs now that i've started haha), I've been using the Oxygen version of MildWild but I don't think it has an A2SD+ script included does it? The only other ROM i've used (InsertCoin) did, so I didn't need to set anything up, other than the partition. So actually finding and installing a script is all new to me

It has such a script, but 2.9 doesn't actually move the dalvik cache, though it says it should. Hence you will have less space. There is a fix in the xda thread for the ROM - start at the end of the thread and work backwards and you'll find it (it's just a modified version of the 10apps2sd script).

I think I can link to it here... but yeah basically go the link that 2163 posted (the MildWild homepage) and on the right there is a D2EXT link which should take you to a mediafire link. Download that
The thread says that it's too big for the oxy hboot (first post). But while it says CM7r2 I'm sure that's very wasteful.
Could just measure the unzipped size and add a few meg for safety?
thats what i will do, im just a little confused as to what i can do with only having a small cache partition, i will try and flash the mountdll script and hope it works. i suppose the only way is to try it, if it doesnt work i would have to ammend the mtd values.
I've not looked inside the ROM much, but surely anything derived from Oxygen will be fine with a small cache.
cheers, there are only 4 scripts inside it, 10apps2sd, 77 tweaks, 98 supercharger and 98complete,
so do you think i should try it without mountdll first and add it later??

That's 2 more than the last Oxygen I used had, and that worked fine. So I guess it handles the small cache another way. dGB also doesn't use mountdl script. I'd not worry about it.
ive managed to strip it to 75.2mb by using some of dgb's apk's ill have to try it and give it a whirl, i changed some of the larger apk's such as vending, googleservicesframework, latinIME, gmail and email, geniewidget, some languages, the whole tts file, the keyboard i havent touched the sounds yet, dunno if it would still boot, ill have to give it a whirl.
73.2mb after removing audio

I've no idea to be honest. I'm showing on Internal Storage 181mb used and 827mb free in both internal and A2SD storage in quick system info.
I'm confused at it seems the 150mb of true internal storage isn't reported. Running teppics ROM I could see how much internal storage.
I'm worried that the A2SD isn't setup correctly.
no, theres no need to be worried. youve used data2ext. you should have done some reading before using that script.
it doesnt add more space to the current 147mb. it moves your whole data partition to the ext of the sdcard.
if you have a slow sdcard then you might encounter lag. if your sdcard borks you are a bit screwed as well

I wish I had known this before I flashed .. I've been so careful up to now to read as much as I can before taking on anything.
Someone mentioned a tool to convert to ext4..alignment_cool_2.zip I assume that you guys would recommend gparted for anything to do with partitions based on what you have said before.

Well, I'm giving MildWild Oxy a spin for a couple of days. Been having an odd problem where my phone drops signal when inactive for a few hours and won't regain without toggling airplane mode. Odd since radio, ROM, kernel were same I'd been using for months (weeks for the kernel). So since I was going to try a wipe and reinstall anyway, thought I might flash a larger hboot and try this at the same time.
Impressions so far: seems very smooth, some aspects of theme are nice, others I prefer the cleaner look of dGB. But I'll see if the battery life lives up to promise, and whether my problem is fixed, both of which will need a few days.

Yeah.. it's a nice looking ROM.. not sure about the CM mod though. I am surpised you aren't trying stock ROM like Teppic if your testing stability... I found it faultless.. if a bit boring.

Who's testing stability? Me?
Nah, I used Teppic's ROM when I first rooted, and recommend it to others, but haven't had Sense on my phone for 15 months or more and can't see myself going back.
The non-transparent drop-down is annoying me. I was going to just leave this as is for a while (well, "as is" except I've stripped it down to 76MB installed ), but I think I'm going to be visiting UOT tonight.
