[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartio1975:
Hi all Streak 5 owners,

I have ordered a Streak 5 for wifey and me yesterday. but am very concerned about the quality of the LCD screen which breaks easily based on postings online. Is it true? Did Dell do anything since launch to change its design/assembly to avoid this problem? I'm careful, but don't want it to break if I drop it say once on a carpeted floor which might happen over the course of a year..

I would like to hear from people who have had it over several months and if it runs fine. Coz most of the time people would post only if something negative happens. That's why I'm asking.

Thanks.

what do you mean exactly by lcd screen. the actual lcd unit only or the lcd + glass screen combo?

anyway I personally think that when came the day that good old Allfather Steve J. F'ker thought it would have been a nice idea to add an actual glass screen to his iphone we all got screwed big time. sure it's more resistent to scratches, but damn it's as fragile as, well, glass!

an item meant to stay all day with you in your pocket, car, desk, workplace, pub and whatnot simply cannot afford to use such fragile materials. and the hell to those ridiculous test with the average engadget writer stabbing devices with a pen, the bottomline is: you drop it, 50% chance you'll cry like a baby

Couple of things

Look, I can tell you couple of things about the screen.

1. The Stress test, practically speaking, means NOTHING! you see, its how much bad treatment the glass can take.

That is exactly where they try to make it look like it can take on anything.

But, notice, that everything is like a controlled test rig!

they never tell you about the Falls/trips/Sit_on_it_effects!

2. You have to be ultra cautious & conscious while handling it,

in the sense, do NOT be clumsy!

Butter fingers is not funny here!!

Like crashdebug said,

the bottomline is: you drop it, 50% chance you'll cry like a baby​

Use it like you would use your laptop!

I mean you can bang all you want while typing and playing games and all,

but you do NOT want to drop it, while talking/pulling out of pocket.​

Most probable scenarios where you may drop the phone:

Pulling out of the pocket/ Keeping it inside your pocket

While putting on charging/ removing from charging!

While receiving a call.

Ending a call.

Surprisingly while playing games/typing you are not so prone to drop your phone, (perhaps, cuz, you are so conscious about it!)

One thing more:

You should hear from the folks who dropped it too! to know what you should NOT do !! :D

(not that you would do any such thing on purpose!)

care,

Sony.

You better get a case (for whatever worth it is, still is a line between your phone and the ground.)

P.S.

anyway I personally think that when came the day that good old Allfather Steve J. F'ker thought it would have been a nice idea to add an actual glass screen to his iphone we all got screwed big time.​

Lol, that is so true (and funny!) (hahaha) :D :D
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kable:
The Streaks LCD itself is a bit on the weak side. The outer Gorilla Glass sounds nice but does very little to protect the LCD from bending. Most people that replace the LCD still have their Gorilla Glass intact.

I would recommend that you refrain from putting your streak in a pants pocket

and use a case that adds some support around the device. Mine cracked in my pocket just driving to the store and home. It must have bent when I sat in the car. Definitely not not a gel skin type case like I had Otterbox Impact Case = Bad . I now use an Otterbox Defender case ( Has a belt Clip too )

All bets are off if any device is ever dropped but the Streak is sensitive to bending due to its dimensions compared to a 'normal' phone so just be aware of it and you should be fine. It is an awesome phone/mini tablet.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartio1975:
My current phone is a n900 and it has glass screen also. I have a rubberized outer cover and have dropped it a few times even though I'm very careful for the most part! Nothing has happened to it until now.

Thanks for the input everyone. I have bought two streaks, but thinking about selling my wife's as I'm pretty sure she will break it in a few days if not weeks :eek:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brau0303:
My 2 Cents

When I got my Streak, I was really worried about breaking the lcd, I carried it in a front empty khaki pants pocket, then got an Otterbox Defender Case.

Good: Dropped it twice on pavement with no damage to device, Great Protection/adds a little bulk but worth it.

Bad: Adds A little bulk to the device, the bely clip and case are kind of big on the belt, the drops were indirectly caused by the belt clip ejecting the phone while exiting a vehicle. would i even consider using the Streak without serious protection, NO WAY!

Cheers

Dell Streak 5 problem - inside LCD prone to cracking

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
Basically the streak screen isn't anymore fragile than any other phone, if you drop it from say over 4 foot onto a hard floor it will most likely break. Remember though the screens are only 28 pounds and very easy to replace yourself. I'm not scared of how fragile it is. It holds up pretty well to bumps and tumbles.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcjikelly:
I'm not sure what 28 pounds means. Is that all the force they can take in an impact?

I've got one of the Otterbox defender cases but I'm very careful where I put my phone. Despite that I once sent it flying out of my hand. It hit the carpeted floor like 5 feet away and there was no damage. I was very happy.

What do you want to see or not see in RoyalGinger V1.5?

Like I said in the actual RoyalGinger thread on the Development page we wanted to pull the community and see what you guys like and dont like and what you want to see and what you dont want to see. I know at least for me I might try other Roms especially for testing but I always come back to RoyalGinger, This little red head has in my opinion everything a Rom needs and everything a Rom user wants. So just to make it more of the Peoples Rom we wanted to see what you guys like and what you guys dont like.

So please keep it short and simple if you want to see a specific thing like a Theme or a Mod please include the link to the thread.

It will help us find what we are looking for and get to making your wishes happen. If you want something just let us know we will honestly try our hardest to meet every wish of the community for V1.5. If we dont get your idea into 1.5 I will let you know and let you know if it is possible and if it will be coming on a later release.

Thank You all for your support.

Please include the original stock Desk Dock app, if possible.

Much appreciated!!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Royalknight6190:
Do you mean the stock clock that flips with the Weather? if so I cant include the one made by HTC cause that is a Sense Only item and it is not Open Source, But I am pretty sure I can accommodate your request with something. So great suggestion it will be in the next release.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoodoo1226:
Yes, it is that one. No wonder the question has been asked a few times on the net (when I Googled) and no one seems to know.

Ok, no problem. There are a few other apps out there that are similar. But not quite. Thanks though. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jester450:
Top request if at all possible would be the original camera. Picture quality is better and speed is wayyyy faster.

DSP Manager

Car Dock (even though it’s available as apks)

Genius Button (I personally like it)

Ability to mute camera sound
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Royalknight6190:
I think each one of those are very do able. Thanks for the suggestions.

Well this is a good start 2 requests that are not off the way and 2 requests that are very easy to add in. Thank you guys.

Personally, I like this Rom as is... Though I moved on to using Royal Mint as my daily just because of the sense look... Love the work TeamRoyal... I have the zip, and a backup with all my most used apps for EVERY Rom I have ran across with the TeamRoyal name on it...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
1. Ability to receive MMS view like on stock froyo.

I hit download, and it rarely works. Stock it normally already has picture showing, instead of hitting download.

2. A big pickup, although i don't think it is possible, would be to add date along with clock in status bar.

3. Calendar similar to stock calendar, which is default month view.

4. I love the themes with battery display % options.

BTW, you guys are most excellent!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rojovilla:
royalknight, hope you gets to feeling better, brohim....

all in all, fantastic rom, but.... (and since you're asking), this is what i would like added:

(1) stock mt4g calendar (pink in color i believe) because there's more options than the one included with RG (ie. ability to have agenda view when executed). if it's tied to sense and can't be ported to RG, then no worries.

(2) use of the genius button with dragon dictation (already mentioned). i'm not sure if i'm the minority here, but i used that app a lot.

(3) desk dock/car dock (already mentioned).

(4) stock camera (already mentioned).

not sure if there's anything else that this rom needs as i'm sure the more you add, the better chance it will become slower...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
The problem with the "stock" apps you are all referring to from the original rom, is that they require sense frameworks to function. Unless HTC open sources sense, we may never be able to make it happen. (doesn't mean we can't try;) )
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
I think this should stay as close to stock Google as possible.

By trying to add in all this sense stuff... why don't you guys just use a sense rom and install the gingerbread launcher. That's basically what you want this rom to be.

I enjoy this rom because of how minimal it is. Please keep sense junk out.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
+1

People's request in AOSP roms are always sense related add on's. Launcher pro has some good alternatives for sense widgets and so forth. But I agree, keep this rom bare and clean in AOSP standards. Although I would like it if you guys added Torch app back on :p

And I do have a question, I love the rover theme included, but I feel like that actual battery percentage decreases my battery life by a lot everytime I use that theme. Any way you can take out that battery percentage out in the middle of that circle?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phaino00:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
The battery life decreases due to the broadcast message required every time it changes a percentage and has to call a new image to be displayed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
man bummer... i love that theme but thats a killer for me. anyway you knwo how to take it out?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lion766:
A completely blacked out (inverted them would be really nice) Kind of like the the terminal settigns, but with maybe more feel and texture than those. I do a lot of night use, that would be good. I like the terminal ones, but some things completely get lost in the transition. Now I am asking for too much!

This rom is so customizable, and now that I have a clean install, the fc have for the most part disappeared, and I have not even thought about flashing stock, like I normally did.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rojovilla:
10-4, just wasn't sure how feasible it was... it's not a deal breaker if none of those happen, but he asked... have a good one, option...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
thought the stock camera was a part of the sense framework as well, could be wrong.

My main request is to have a ROM specific theme. I switch ROMs a lot and after flashing lots of ROMs now on different phones (I'm the go-to guy at work now), I like the aesthetic touches a lot of devs put on their ROMs. You guys are adding more and more tweaks in this regard, so I doubt this even needs to be a request, but it's really cool to see those extra touches. After seeing gingerbread on so many different phones now, I've come to learn how unimpressive it is visually. Using the theme engine could then satisfy the themers out there, giving them the option to use what they want, but allow you guys to offer the Royal Theme that makes the ROM your own. I've also seen things like boot animation/fonts/optional app install scripts written into the settings. Things like that offer customization within the ROM and help it to stand out from AOSP GB.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A1L3:
i would like to see the internet pass through and an inverted theme(black majority instead of white)

not sure if the internet passthrough is sense or not, i just know that the gorilla rom im using has it. thats whats keeping me from using the royal roms (though im waiting to try mint when it gets a non rc release)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnut22r:
Thanks for everything. All good stuff so far. Small requests, don't know how hard or not.

1. Add speed dial to number pad. This is the press-and-hold functionality that was standard on most phones. (sense roms have it, not that I want sense, they just have the functionality)

2. Recent apps in the notification bar drop down. Another sense feature, but good nonetheless.

Probably not possible but just thought I would ask.

Also, more themes, keepem coming
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
I like the royal theme idea. I'll work on that. Its gonna have to be amazing to get me of of mint though.

a suggestion...

i would like to see more work done for the ffc. i still am unable to use it anywhere outside of the camera app; this means yahoo messenger, etc... secondly, i have trouble finding and downloading quite a few apps; it would seem as though my phone or the market, is conflicted as to whether my phone is a HTC Glacier, or a Samsung Nexus S.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBGunFighta:
i really liek the speech to text feature for when im playin pc games or 360 so i can reply to ppl really easily lol i know the gingerbread keyboard app on the market has it but i thought maybe it could just be part of the rom :]

if not its all good! i can just keep using the app lol

also really like the dsp manager (thats the equalizer app right?)

love your roms guys thnx :D

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ_Caibel:
In just a week or so you guys have come a long way on this ROM. Thanks!

The suggestions I have are as follows:

1. The email app doesn't display photos. Can we fix this or use a different email app? I have photos sent to my Yahoo mail and on the previous ROM (evildroid) they displayed when I opened the email and now they don't.

2. Also, I've noticed that the G-sensor gets a little ****ed whenever you get a phone call. Like if I'm playing a game or something in landscape mode and get a call then it gets locked in landscape mode after hanging up. You hafta turn the screen off and back on to unlock it. Not a big deal, but something I noticed.

3. In the messaging inbox I've noticed that you can no longer select threads to delete. You either delete all of them or have to delete the thread after you go in and open it.

4. In the contacts you used to be able to select to view Phone, SIM, Google and T-Mobile contacts. Now you don't really have any options unless you have your contacts in groups. Not sure if this is a Sense menu or not, but it'd be nice to have that back bc I really don't need to see 18 entries for a single contact.

5. The already mentioned camera and calendar suggestions.

JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW - this v1.5 is just a 'special edition' release of RoyalGinger "for and by the users" .. this isn't what RoyalGinger is 'turning it to' so to speak ... though I can understand how you would think that because of the incremental version name/number.

SO in other words - we will still keep the same RoyalGinger that you know and love (a la v1.4) nice, sleek, clean, and quite AOSP'y. Naturally, we will continue to update from the current v1.4.1 as improvements come out and any other small bug fixes come to light ... but don't worry, the minimal ROM you enjoy is not going away :D
