    I assume you're getting your rom from xda, what does the dev say in his thread? ;)

    No.
    No.
    Only flash a radiuo when you NEED to. I'm guessing you don't need to.

    Darktremor is an A2SD script. See my sigi. Will go and read up on S-Off when I have time. Seems odd though.




    I have to resist the temptation to call a radio a wireless! Time marches on.

    EDIT: Looky here under requirements http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829734

    Oxygen recommends s-off for custom partition table but not needed

    Thanks for the tips. I flashed oxygen and restored my apps thru mybackup.
    But my internal memory shows only 26mb free. I tried to use terminal emulator and "a2sd " command..but it doesnt recognize

    the a2sd command is for dark tremor a2sd. Does oxygen have that?

    As you know the su a2sd moves the dalvik cache to the sd card on Cyanogen, there's no reason why it won't work with Oxygen is there?

    1) did you do a full wipe? Locks fine for me

    2) You need titanium really, as this restores market links too.

    Or update to latest market via the Villain setup app. I believe this may pick up the apps.

    did you check lock before restoring? Did you restore anything else other than apps? settings for example?

    what settings have you got in your lock settings?
