[Streak 5 Accessories] rvbarton:
I was bored at work today, so I started perusing the ebay listings for Dell Streak 5 cases.

I found this leather case and I must say, I'm quite impressed with the way it looks. I think I am going to buy one for me and my wife.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Genuine-Book-Leather-Case-Cover-Dell-Streak-mini-5-/190520035199?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c5be1077f#ht_2319wt_1140

==============

Updated 5/17/2011

==============

it took 3 weeks to arrive from China, but I just got mine & my wife's leather cases in. Not a bad case. I'm torn on wondering if it's worth the $40 I spent on it though...

here are some pictures:

sitting with my streak with the kickstand

front view closed

back view closed (note that the opening for the camera was a bit shallow on mine. I had to cut it out a bit more. My wife's was perfect...)

open with flap/kickstand

side view

Other interesting items...

it doesn't have the cutout to insert the PDMI cord for connecting. Easy enough to cut it out, but I haven't yet. Also, the buttons on top (volume, shutter, on/off), don't have cutouts. there is an overlapping piece of leather that folds over the top of the streak to hold it in, or whatever. I kind of like it

Lastly, there is an elastic band keeping the case closed. I can foresee this wearing out, but nontheless, it's there and it works nicely. you can see it on the front closed view (first pic). Its a lighter brown stripe.

I give this case a 7 our of 10. Definitely better than the stock leather case from Dell. I figure I'll keep my otterbox in my car to mount in my holder and use this one in my backpack and moving about. It protects the streak quite nicely!

Nice like the look of the case.... Looks like PayPal is going to get a hammering

Thanks for the link:)

Update....

Just put in the order so will do Review when it arrives 10-14 Days i Hope,, coming from china
[Streak 5 Accessories] Rico ANDROID:
Very impressive
[Streak 5 Accessories] jvc.silence:
wow...nice indeed...i will wait for you guys to do a review first.i will get one after aswell.cheers for the tip.
[Streak 5 Accessories] All4Sky:
Thats probably the best looking case I've seen so far. Love the stand feature! One problem I see is that if you need to take a picture, you won't be able to fold the front flap over because it would be blocking the camera, so you may have to hold it up wit the knuckle of the finger pressing the camera shutter button.
[Streak 5 Accessories] jvc.silence:
find it.nvm.just cant made my mind with one to buy!:)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Try the search function m8.
[Streak 5 Accessories] CountryJustice:
Hm, not a big fan of this one, and it's all because of how the device is held in.

I got the Dell branded leather book case and my favorite thing about it is that the actual piece that holds the phone is thin but very sturdy plastic sewn into the leather on the inside. The plastic covers NONE of the face of the device.

Then again, it cost twice as much, so I can see how this would be a good budget option for the same style.
[Streak 5 Accessories] mr_tris:
I always have mine clipped into a my car dock or in a pocket that has nothing in to scratch it,I just use a protector on the screen. It is very nice though and could be a good one for long journeys and storage.;)

:cool:The problem I find is that it's too damn sexy to cover up!:cool:

Looks pretty nice :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letter k:
I downloaded the zip file from the skyraider post, and flashed it from RM and after selection of the touch input, I get force closes everytime I touch to start typing. Anyone else able to get it to work? Or was I supposed to delete something?

Also I am in desperate need of a kernal for skyraider. This rom is mad slow.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carngeX:
I had just pushed the HTC_IME from SR 3.5 to my SR4.0 flash. Did this before the one that was posted in the first post was put up. Works fine for me...

Have you tried fixing permissions to see if that works for you? I would try that... If you want, I pull the HTC_IME.apk that I have and upload it, and you can try to manually push it if you like.

As for a kernel... I wasn't slow on the stock kernel. But I switched back to chad's incredikernel a little while after flashing, and so far so good.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
I have an opportunity to get a Droid Incredible fairly cheap (I'll keep the price to myself, suffice to say it's under $100), original box, all accessories, in good working condition. I've owned an HTC HD2 in the past and while I don't anymore, I'm wondering if I should:

- just save the money I am considering spending on the Droid Incredible and put it towards another HD2 when a good deal comes along

or

- get the Droid Incredible and make the best of it

I'm a tinkerer, always have been, and I know the HD2 is the best damned phone for people like me, but this is a really great chance to get a Droid Incredible. I'd miss the full 4.3" screen on the HD2 but at least the 3.7" on the Droid Incredible still maintains the 800x480 resolution which I can't do without (smaller phones with 480x320 or whatever, useless).

So I'm just asking to be asking: is the Droid Incredible a decent phone overall, with some ability to get the custom ROMs on it, with similar performance to the HD2? I know the camera is better on the DI but, apparently it can't do better than 800x480 for recording video (somewhat odd resolution, definitely, and far from proper 720p).

Anyone with experience with the Droid Incredible as well as the HD2 care to comment? If so, it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
It does do 720p actually, it came with the Froyo update. However, like the evo, the audio on the video still sucks. Anyway, performance wise, you shouldn't be dissapointed. The phone is a year old, but that just means there's a ton of Roms out for it. That's for sure. And it runs gingerbread wonderfully!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
So it now can do actual 720p recording? Ok, I didn't realize that now, didn't see a mention of it, thanks for the info.

Can I ask what you mean about the audio? Are you talking about audio that's part of the recordings made with camera, or audio on files that I'd be playing back, like movies or whatever I encode for playback on the Incredible itself? I know the HD2 had a serious audio lag issue with big video files but that got resolved at some point. I just wanted to get that point you mentioned clarified.

Thanks...

(reading up on the actual changes with the 2.2 update now, also)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Pretty sure he means audio quality on recorded video. Go for it! Especially at that price. One of the best dev communities out of all android devices.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Indeed, the audio of recorded video is AMR. Not the best.

My incredible is one of my main audio players. And honestly, I think it sounds better than my 4th Gen iPod touch. But to be fair, I use dsp manager to get the most out of it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
For that cheap, id make very sure the esn is clean
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Yes the Incredible can record in 720p but the frame rate for recording is slower than that of the HD2 which from what I researched last night is capable of 720p at 30fps. Phone wise the Dinc would be a bargain to be had for its good looks and performance. Although with all the new tech coming out I would say if you can hold off for an even better phone you should just keep your money.

DINC|CM7|INCREDIKERNEL|VB-50
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Well a tough call. If you get an incredible the community here with ROM's and kernels are great, developers are actively keeping up with the very latest updates of Android and tweaking them for optimum performance.

I don't think anything substantial will be coming out anytime soon, personally I'm not going to ditch my phone until a well built dual-core 4G phone comes out.

Gingerbread runs flawlessly but developers haven't been able to get 720p recording working on it *yet*. So if you need the 720p then I suggest you sticking with one of the many great froyo ROM's out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I got mine for adding a line... which I then suspended, so basically it was free. And I am so glad I did, I was thinking of holding out for a TB, but best buy had a sale. Now that I've seen the TB's size and specs, I don't think it would have been worth the wait or the price. If you can get your hands on a cheap DINC with no contract do it, totally worth it. Just make sure it has a clean ESN like donny said.

Also these are awesome work horses, mine runs stable at 1267K, 43.102 MFLOPS. I'm at 21 hours with moderate data use since last charge. Plus there is a huge development following; plenty of ROM's, kernels, themes, mods :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WookieFan:
I would agree. I love my DInc, but paying out for the latest phone (Thunderbolt / HD2) is probably worth it. If you just don't have the $$$, for the newest phone, then definitely go for it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
Really? No repercussions on that? I thought they usually back-charged you for the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Nope, I just won't get an upgrade on that line. I still have another line on my family plan, so it's just the $40 extra a month they're not getting.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Under $100? At least for me, buying that would be a no-brainer. Even if you don't like it, you could flip it for an easy $75 or more. Even if ESN isn't clean, it can still be flipped for a nice profit. People buy them for use on Metro PCS, Cricket, and other CDMA providers worldwide.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
i'd save up for a htc hd2 it has the best of both worlds windows 7 and android.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardofyendor:
I got an inc 2 months ago from dell (free phone with 2 year contract), so far I'm loving it. May not compete with the latest phones, but I'm running CM7, default cpu freq, and it's stable, and I can't see any visible lag, even when running ADW.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotjazz:
Hey everyone - just a little thing I'm curious about.

How come the choice of launcher changes my battery life in standby?

I've been using different kernels and roms lately. Mostly CM7 variants (nscollab etc) and trinity or netarchy kernels.

And no matter where I am and what I use: flashing UD launcher almost halves my battery drainage in standby. Which is why I use it: The point is I don't understand how that can be because I would like to use other launchers. I really enjoy the extra comfort adw and go launcher offer and the stock launcher is still the smoothest of all.

So what are they doing in standby that's draining battery? When comparing them of course I always use the same widgets, the same sync settings, juice defender config etc.

Atm I'm using cm7.0.2 with UD launcher flashed on top of it and morfic's trinity UV kernel with 1.1 Ghz.

According to battery monitor widget history standby drains around 5mA averaged over 5 minutes with adw in it's cm7 variant and stock launcher. with ud launcher it's around 2-3.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
you would really have to do a do a controlled study and test the different ones and dig into source code, where possible. i dont know, i've always stuck with launcher pro and never tried any other to see a battery issue.

my nexus one in deep sleep hovers at 6mA idle power draw over night during 8 hours. i'm surprised the nexus s sees 5mA as well, for some reason i thought the better CPU hardware would have dropped idle power even lower, to around 2mA or so.

the HTC inspire for example is the best i've seen on any android phone so far. it can hit 2mA idle and stay there.

i do an 8 hour battery test every night while i sleep, and check the logs when i wake up. i'm weird.
[Nook Color General] BoyBlunder99:
Went to go watch a movie on my Nook last night and the sound started hissing and crackling. Not just in the movie, but also my notification sounds have stopped and they're also cracking/hissing too.

Running CM7 w/ 1.3ghz kernel from 4/24. Sound was working before, but just randomly stopped.

Any ideas? I've tried hard resetting, but not reinstalling CM7.
[Desire General] Deeco7:
Hi,

Can anyone point out to me a Gingerbread ROM with the latest HTC Sense not (3.0 obv) that is bug-free or more so Stable enough to use and is not modified to an extent that it wouldn't be considered as Stock.

I've looked through the Development section and found ROMS that meets some of my criteria but the common this is a 'Camera/Camcorder bug of some-sort.

Thank you! :rolleyes:
[Desire General] snakeeyes21:
Rcmix s rom v0.8.. im using the cm7 version so te cm7 tables need to be flashed.

then a fat32 and an ext3 partion on your scard.

also use a2sgui from the market to move dalvic to your ext partition to free up more internal memory if you have alot of appa

been using it for a week or so without any problems, although the video camera doesnt work.

But its better and faster than those based on the leaked desire gingerbread rom, an has the better sense version.
[Desire General] aca85:
Well i tried both RcmixS and InsercoinS and Cool S ...based on AceS rom,and they're slow as hell >_> Stable,but slow,not worth it (yet...i have hopes for the future).As for the Roms based on the leaked Desire Asia WWE rom,they're all stable,but still have some bugs and speed issues...my opinion,wait a bit more until the Official Europe WWE rom comes out,and some1 makes a good rom out of that :)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I wonder if the final gingerbread rom from HTC will be 2.3.4 instead of 2.3.3..
[Desire General] _ByQ:
I'm using RCMis S v0.8++ and it's working very fast for me.
[Desire General] localh0st:
Will be there available official GB rom for Desire?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Yes, there is one leaked already
[Desire General] AndyG1985:
I'm using LeeDroid GB which is great so far.
[Desire General] peytral:
Doubt it, we don't even have a front camera.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I am thinking more the bugfixes for the '3 second delay' stuff that 'may' be included in 2.3.4
[Desire General] oldskater:
is it worth the effort to keep sense?

i left the stock rom a few months ago and tried out cm, then gingervilain and now use oxygen/devnull

i quickly decided the massive speed increase and extra memory was worth not having sense.
[Desire General] riahc3:
I have the same problem. A Gingerbread ROM based on the new Sense with the video recording working...
[Desire General] ghostcat:
I'm using insertcoin Rom and i'm happy with this. I tried couple of other roms, but this one is really fast and this one have many quick updates. IC' s developer is very hard working man ;-)
[Desire General] shiSHARK:
I'm currently using InsertCoin A2SD CM7 HBOOT/A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT v15, and I'm very happy with it. Using it from v02.
[Desire General] Fr_78:
InsertCoin is the best rom 2.3.3 with sense currently. You should take the A2SD+ because you'll don't have to change the HBOOT.
[Desire General] 3f1f37:
I've tried just about every GB sense ROM besides the Desire HD versions and they all have bugs but they are stable and ok for everyday use. The best GB ROMS are the AOSP ones, CM7, GingerVillain and Oxygen if you want a complete GB experience.

I favour AuraxTSense as my ROM of choice as it meets my needs and there is a GB version out but with bugs. I'm going to wait till all the bugs are fixed then make my move, as right now 2.2 ROMS are flawless.

Sent from my AuraxTSense Desire
[Desire General] oldskater:
its likely to be only a month or two before the dev's can be working on an official gingerbread release anyway.

i cant wait to see what they will do but i expect it to be a lot better than HTC manage
[Desire General] Phantom Pt. II:
RCMix S went v1.0 today. It's really stable and fast as far as I know. I'm on the v09 at the moment.
[Desire General] barti2000:
And Insert Coin get Version 17. With all featuers of the RCMix and Trackball to wake.
[Desire General] danila27:
leedroid

leedroid is a very stable and bugfree rom i have used.
[Desire General] eliteforce:
Which one with data2sd stable?
[Desire General] erklat:
You can implement data2sd in any rom which supports init.d scripts.
[Desire General] whips:
Currently running InsertCoin CM7 v17, I have never enjoyed my desire more, this ROM is a winner!
[Desire General] dexter93:
I can Confirm too. Running s v18 cm7. It's simply the best, but you will have to be ready for constant updating, as baadnewz (developer)

comes with updates every day

More praise for InsertCoin CM7.

Been using it since v03 and by far the best ROM I have ever flashed on the Desire
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
I can also suggest the newest leedroid (v.3.0.5/ runs on gingerbread 2.3.3). With recommended radio very fast and smooth. ;-)
[Desire General] j5m:
Can any one tell me what the difference is between the Robocik rom, baadnews rom and Leedroid is?
[Desire General] PlayPetepp:
Also recently went baad with InsertCoin v18 but with apps2sd+ since my phone wont boot with data2sd. For me it is the baadest combination 'till now even when it's not working properly. ;)

[Desire General] dexter93:
Leedroid is sense 1.9 and 1

The others are sense 2 and 2.1

Robocik makes the base on which baadnews builds his roms, making them better

[Desire General] torqtech:
Robocik and badnewz roms are pretty much same. Both are gingerbread with sense 2.1 and some features from sense 3. Everything is working except compass which is anyway not working in any gingerbread rom.

Leedroid is sense 1.0.
[Desire General] Vidkum:
Rcmix S is a great ROM.
[Desire General] convencon:
Thank you, I will give it a try
[Desire General] PlayPetepp:
Seems to me that Robocik, baadnewz and Coolexe have very similar roms (maybe all have the same base). All ginger and all sense 2.1 with features from 3.0. And all updating practicly on a daily basis. I'm thinking all are pretty much stable (a few issues here and there since it's still from a leaked source, not a full release), very fast and smooth.
[Desire General] robbycz:
I'm using InsertCoin V19 and can highly recommend it.
[Desire General] j5m:
So if robocik and baadnewz and coolexe are all pretty much the same how do I pick between them?

I have the stock hboot partition size, and don't have an ext on my sd card, what would you suggest is the rom that would be easiest to upgrade to?
[Desire General] torqtech:
coolexe is a bit different as it does not have sense 3 and coolexe has specifically said he will not add it.

As for robocik and baadnewz .... its pretty much personal choice, you can try both and pick accordingly.

Both insertcoin and RCMixS come for stock hboot and you can easily fromat your card to have fat32+ext 2/3/4 partition using gparted or amon ra recovery or minitool partition.

hope this helps.:)
[Desire General] neoghio:
I pretty much went with baadnwz's ROM because I had previously been using his Desire HD port of InsertCoin and it was another great ROM so I thought I would carry on with his new one.
[Desire General] DJ-Desire:
Get Insertcoin their on v20
[Desire General] ghostcat:
He is Very hard working man ;-)

Tried it too but went with SuperNova for it's stable Data2SD. Gives me lots of internal memory wich I find very usefull.

- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition

is that meaning it needs the CM7 OR STOCK HBOOT?

ah

does this help: http://insertcoin.baadnwz.eu/wiki/How_to_get_the_ROM_on_your_phone
[Desire General] Vatrox:
Yes, there are currently two different versions of the ROM - one based on stock HBOOT and the second one, recommended, running on CM7 HBOOT - you get to choose which one you want, however CM7 will be a bit faster - and also only the CM7 based one has got lite and autoscript versions.

Make sure you download the right one.

S-OFF? You just need it to install the CM7 HBOOT. If you want to go for stock HBOOT ROM ("A2SD") I don't think it is necessary, although don't quote me on that, I'm running S-OFF from the beginning.

Basically follow the guide and everything is going to be fine.
