[Streak 5 General] travfar:
Dell had the Streak 5 on sale about a month ago. A lot of people bought them. The problem is that most of us got Streaks that were double sealed. The original seal was cut and another seal was placed over it. Dell's cover story is that they were opened up to install 2.2. That story doesn't hold up. The Streaks are "dirty", literally. My first one had fingerprints all around the battery compartment and "grease" blobs on the back. I called up Dell about the double seal and they appologized and promised to send me a new "single sealed" one, guaranteed. What showed up was another double seal. This one looks even worse. There were clearly fingerprints and dust under the protective film. Once I peeled off the film, the screen was covered in fingerprints and the crevices had dust in them. If they only opened them up to do upgrades, why would they have had to remove the protective film? Regardless of the cause, they didn't put any effort into wiping them down before sending them back out. Shoddy. So I've decided to keep the replacement because it boots faster than the first one even though it's older. I'm wondering about the battery though. Is there a way to check the number of cycles that have been put on a Dell Streak battery? I'd like to check both and then keep the fresher battery.
[Streak 5 General] valest:
I guess checking battery health would be easier than find out it's number of cycle.
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
I bought a streak from dell start of the year, and mine was totally brand new. Not a mark on it, but then again it still doesn't have a mark on it now and I've had it 5 months. But to be fair, I bet all companies harvest theparts of returned goods, lets face it the plastic casing around the phone must cost nothing to replace. So I bet a lot of "new" phones are just old ones with a new surround so it looks new. I wouldn't worry to much might have just collected a little dust when the software was updated you don't really know.
[Streak 5 General] travfar:
I don't think that accounts for it. It's the fingerprints under the protective film that is more concerning. That should not be happening. The line workers wear gloves to prevent that. Even if Dell did have the techs open them up to install upgrades, there should have been no reason for them to have removed the film to do that.
[Streak 5 General] ajairola:
Demo Units

I'll bet they are upgrading and repackaging demo/ display units that they had in Malls or Best Buy. Really those may be better than a Brand New unit because they have been thoroughly tested, now yes they really aren't new and you have a valid complaint but if it works properly and doesn't have any physical defects(scratches, nicks, etc) then I wouldn't worry to much about it. From my experience(I'm on my 3rd Streak) if something goes wrong with your Streak that isn't your fault Dell will happily replace it(if you bought it from them directly) no problem.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
I am getting installation aborted in CWR. Any ideas.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
AOSP based?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
Yeah he built the sense ruu from source ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
Any ideas on why CWR cant open the file? I have redownloaded the file again and recovery just says cant open file (bad) and thats it.

Not working for me so I will hold off for now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
How big was the file you downloaded? I didn't get that message, but made some tweaks and I just posted an updated rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SHOOTEMUP2.0:
Downloading now. I will give it a try. Time for a change from Tesla coil.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
It was around 146mb.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
It should be 180 mb or so.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
installed now. The original was only 146mb but the updated one was 180, its on the boot screen now. Nice boot screen lol.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
Does anyone know how I can change the dock to 3 icon instead of 5 on the launcher pro?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
Long press the two outside shortcuts and select blank shortcut.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
Thanks, do you think you could tweak the 4G LTE icon a little it's all white on a white background, very hard to tell if its there.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
Yea... Didn't even realize it... Im not in a 4g area...I'll fix it this weekend.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mpfstc:
Here it is. I was waiting for it. Thanks man. I need some AOSP.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmerrill63:
Looks promising, will give it a go later today.

Could you post MD5 in the OP?

Sent by the Tbolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
I have posted it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
I posted a fix for the 4g Icon issue. just flash in CWR.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
Nevermind... it's not in the OP... request to dev if it all possible to add AOSP contacts to future release... I can probably flash kejar's AOSP contacts from the Teslacoil thread but i'm not sure if that will mess anything up as I don't know what flashing it affects as far as the framework, etc. etc...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
So far so good with 1.2 (I was running 1.1 for a few days). No random reboots or SARS outbreaks. Running the new radios.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
been on this rom for a couple hours now with no issues. i was getting so many reboots on bamf then i saw this rom with a suggested fix in the OP so i thought i'd try it. so far so good :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
Dont use kejars, it will delete the phone app. I am working on getting them to work. When I do, I will post an update zip.

I need someone to make a backup and verify this working. I have done it and it worked on mine. Just let me know before I post it in the OP. thanks

AOPS Contacts
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
working on it now. I'll check back in 10
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
Working for me...

Launcher pro is also good with adding the phone as a shorcut on the launcher bar thingy.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nkd:
Is there anyway to go back to stock TEXT. I really don't like this text, For me the stock text used in sense rom is much more sharper. I like the rom but I didn't like the new text in this rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] droidholic:
I totally agree; great rom but I'm not a fan of the system font. I ended up changing the font on my own. You can download a free app from the market called, "Custom Android Font Switcher. " Choose a font that you like. In my case, I selected "system font" and it looks exactly or close enough to the Sense font. The app applies the font but is unable to reboot on its own. So, I battery pull and then reboot and the new system font has been applied. Worked great for me; currently using the font. Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skeet43169:
Stock font is in a zip on the first page of this post

Edit: sorry it was I think

I'm downloading Vanilla Bean rom and AOSP contacts now and will report back to let you know. Thanks for the fast response, dehemke17..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
Yes I can confirm that AOSP contacts works and it looks and works great. Thanks again! Loving this rom so far... Very smooth...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
For some reason I can't get voice to text to work. I installed google voice search from the market but neither stock keyboard or swype registers anything when I talk. Am I missing something here? I use it constantly, I really need it to work. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
just reinstall it. It should work fine.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
It is hearing me now but everything I say comes back as no matches found. Every once in a while it will search for a portion of what I said, never had this problem before. Any ideas? BTW I reinstalled it and same results.

It seems to be working a little better now after messing with it a little. Not sure what the deal was...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cigar3tte:
Not a deal breaker or anything, but would like the next update to have the "GPS searching" icon flash show up. It shows up only when locked atm, due to white on white?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
Well I had a random reboot. :(

Normally don't have them. Hopefully a flunk.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
as much as i like this rom i'm afraid i'm gonna have to bail, it just doesn't register voice input correctly. i've been messing with it all day. i said a very simple 5 word sentence 20 times and while normally it would get it perfect 90% of the time, it was wrong every time. several times it returned gibberish like kkkkkkkkk no results found. i really like the look and feel of this rom other than that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skeet43169:
That is strange it has worked from day one for me

Sent from my GatorBolt
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
The only other thing I'vedone is flash the suggested radio in the op. Are you on that radio?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Spectredroid:
It works good for me too. I am on the leaked radio. I have done a clean install with every update. I know you don't have to, but maybe try to titanium backup first, wipe and then clean install. I am just guessing. You might also go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache before the install as well. Don't know if that will work, but it is worth a shot. I hate to see you leave cause this is the best rom so far for the Tbolt.

Thunderbolt says end of line.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
Random reboot....what radio? Leaked or the one I suggested in the op?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
My voice search is working fine and no random reboots...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
Ok I was last on bamf 1.6 using the radio they suggested in their op. Everything was fine except for the constant rebooting, 4 or 5 times a day. I saw this Rom with the radio in the op that was suggested to fix those reboots. So I flashed that radio and this Rom. I wiped data and cache first of course. Good news is no reboots all day today. The voice input thing is driving me nuts though. During the day I usually use it to send texts and emails since its 10 times faster. It keeps returning partial sentences and it also it likes to return kkkkkkk. strange ...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
I was using the new cdma and the new lte. I have been running it for the last two weeks. I'll flash the one you recommend if I have another reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
uninstalled and reinstalled voice search for the 4th time and it seems to be working. whatever was going on is obviously not related to the rom or radio since i was the only one. my phone was just going crazy today i guess
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Spectredroid:
I am glad you got it worked out. Sometimes things are frustrating, but hey we love it. Glad it is working now.

Thunderbolt says end of line.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
i was having multiple reboots everyday until i flashed the radio in the op, so it definitely worked for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
The only reason I posted it was because after going through every possible kernel and still getting reboots, I flashed that and finally stopped getting them.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
OP - when I try and send a pic message it never stops saying "sending..."
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
What's the status of your data? Wifi, 3G or 4g? If wifi is on, turn it off to send mms messages. It's an issue with aosp mms. Also, if not on wifi, let me know, I will send you another mms.apk that claims to be working, but my tb isn't activated so I cant test.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
Tried sending over 4g. No dice I think.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
Want to try the mms.apk I mentioned above for me? I will pm it to ya in a little bit. I'm outside chillin right now v

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
I'll post it... But no promises everyone. Gimme 20. I gotta go get more beers. I will post it as soon as I'm home.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
OK so I've been testing this rom for most of yesterday and this morning and its great. GPS works, AOSP contacts work, AOSP-like theme looks good, haven't tried MMS because I use Google Voice, but the rom itself is very smooth. No random reboots, no problems with Voice Search, i even like the font. I like the Honeycomb boot anim as well. My only request so far is to have AOSP contacts included within the next build, and to remove Sense keyboard and have GB keyboard as default, all to make the Vanilla flavor a little more Vanilla.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
Oh I'd like to add that battery life is great as well. My phone has been up for 1.5 hours, I've been texting, web surfing, listening to music and went on a 2 mile jog using Cardio Trainer and I'm only down 10%, all on kernel that came with the rom with no set CPU or profiles set...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
GB Keyboard lol...Thats what I forgot in the last update...I knew it was something, I just couldn't put my finger on it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
Haha... I was looking through the widgets as well... If you could add the news and weather widget... Not the HTC one but the other one... That'd be great as well. One final thing, I noticed when I plugged in my headphones this morning that the headphones icon on the notification bar is white and is hard to see. Its a small thing, really, but maybe switching it to green to match the battey icon, or a dark color, would look better with the theme. I've already hit the thanks button a couple of places for you, but thanks for this rom. I really like it and am excited to see it's progress.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
The headphone icon is white and I have no idea where to change it because I changed it already in the framework-res and that was a no go...Ive been searching files to see if I can find it, but so far, I haven't found it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cigar3tte:
Is that the same case with the GPS icon (before it locks)?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
No...I looked and accidentally deleted the images lol...I will put them back into the framework for the next build

Can't send MMS

Running Vanilla Bean 1.2, no mods

I have tried with the built-in messaging app as well as Handcent SMS 3.8.7

Unable to send MMS from HandCent... texts work just fine. Receiving MMS works just fine. Built-in app works.

I know it makes logical sense to blame Handcent SMS, but Handcent was working on the previous two ROMs.

I have rebooted and even re-flashed the ROM.

Any thoughts?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
Try the mms.apk I posted a couple posts back and let me know
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Crimton:
the original mms.apk did not work as others have reported, even with handcent. i renamed the old one to bak and put the one you posted a few posts ago in its place, set the permissions correctly and it seems to work now. at least over 3g haven't tried wifi yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
I understand, it's no biggie, just a suggestion. I love the rom so far. 12 hours 47 minutes off battery with moderate use <moderate for me anyway, I know there is no standard to measure> and I'm at 50% battery life. Not shabby at all...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
Ok...so I have been trying all day to cook the gingerbread keyboard into my rom without any success... Is there some other files I am missing? I tried just the apk...no luck, the apk with the libjni_latinime_moo.so file and libjni_latinime.so file with no luck...idk what to do to get this to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Forgetfull:
I renamed the old messaging apk to apkold, then I placed the new one in and fixed the permissions for it. Rebooted and picture messages still do not work for me. Text are fine though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chrisjm00:
Is there any way to get the stock Android battery icon without messing anything up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
It would take quite a bit of work, but you should be able to do it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chrisjm00:
I was afraid of that. I like the battery with this Rom, I just don't want the percentage behind it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] m00nshake:
I would think it'd be as easy as pushing the apk to /sys/app but I guess not... Have you looked at Teslacoil or another AOSP-like rom to see if there are other core files for GB keyboard and where they would be... Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but I'll have time tomorrow to do some research and see if I can figure out how to get it working..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ratzinc:
Downloaded the new version twice. Kb won't show up on setup, Rom showed graphical glitches on loading spinning graphic, worst of all Google sign in completely busted can't dl my contacts, acore gapps every time

Restore to vb1.2 if ya want. I hope I can get the issues ironed out sometime tomorrow. I have no idea where they are coming from. This was a very minor update.

Thanks for all the hard work man. I appreciate it. Still like I said BEST ROM EVER FOR TBOLT.

the rom manager fix didnt fix the gb keyboard for me but i use swype so its no biggie to me just letting you know
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
It is the only keyboard included. By didn't fix, do you mean it didn't show up or that it force closes? You will need to fix permissions for both of these.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skeet43169:
still force closing i swiched from swype to gb keyboard and it just said force close then i left it on and went and did the fix and rebooted and it just showed up out of the blue force close once it was loaded up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jmctitan:
I had the same force close with the GB keyboard. Followed the suggested steps, but no luck. I'm also using another keyboard, so I can live with it, but thought it would be helpful to confirm for you.

Thanks for all the work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dhemke17:
I just wish I could replicate the error so I could fix it, but I have no idea what would be causing it. Actually... Something just popped into my head. I will post an updated file but need someone to test for me
