The official kernel in the next version will. And option will be available "performance update" that changes the kernel and some settings. If you use perfupdate, you come back to the original kernel loading ROM.zip. Only at the end do not do a factory reset :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spidla:
What you write is true. I'll wait until tomorrow and "performance update "and publish it along with new versions of the Simple Streak ROM :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Rosch89:

Root Unistaller Pro

Thank you so much for sharing it with us.Very nice and sweet rom without all the bloating.

I am having some issues here,weeks ago I purchased Root Uninstaller Pro and today I decided to play with the roms so I first installed the oficial 354,then this wonderful version,right after this I started re-installing all the apps but I don't get to see root uninstaller pro on the market I can't even install it from market.android.com and it does not show up on my streak.

Has anybody come across this with other purchased apps?It also happens with either baseband.

Once again thanks so much.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ScottishGuy:
This rom is excellent, thanks for this!
[Streak 5 Android Development] miker71:
I like this portrait based ROM too :)

My observations when installing from a rooted stock 2.2.2 -

Clockwork Mod Recovery didn't work to backup or flash (I think 2.2.2 does another inbuilt recovery image restore at boot) even though ROM Manager reported success when flashing its recovery.

StreakMod Recovery 0.3.2 worked for me to flash the ROM using tethered fastboot method.

After flashing I did a factory reset from StreakMod recovery. Stuck in a boot loop, it wouldn't get past the 'android' logo.

Did another factory default from the automatically restored recovery image and all was good :-)

Did not have the landscape toggle problem, it seems to know it's a portrait device now :-)

I may replace LauncherPro with Zeam .... maybe ....
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spidla:
I published version 1.1 and performance update. More in the first post.

Update from the first version is not necessary.

Thank you for your interest :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] gregianos:
I think ROM Manager uses an older version of CWM which is incompatible with the newer ROMs
[Streak 5 Android Development] scdsone:
i didnt have any luck with the performance update it just locked up my phone or just rebooted then locked up at the android logo screen

i tried both roms & even factory reset both & still no luck

im now on 1.1 without the performance update & everythings fine
[Streak 5 Android Development] maltloaf:
Has anyone managed to get the performance update working ok ? I want to try it but I'm scared of breaking the system as I'm really happy with it as it is.

Does the nandroid backup in Streakmod work ok ? As in will I be able to restore to it whatever happens and be back to where I was ? I've used nandroid successfully on other handsets, just not streak.

cheers,

malty

kraz,

i'm not all familiar with uot & stuffs. will probably try to explore these at some point.

but will wait here patiently for your uploaded files for now. take your time sir. :-)

thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
@edmax check your PM.

@spidla Just tried Simple Streak 1.3 T2. Sorry spidla, but Simple Streak 1.2 is nearly perfect IMHO and 1.3 isn't as good FOR ME.

1.3 still hesitates when you swipe from screen to screen or scroll apps bin. If you swipe too fast it hangs. Only made it through quad advanced 1 time. The next three times it locked up part way through requiring a battery pull. I've never had to pull the battery yet on 1.2! One plus...the landscape / portrait lock is running much more smoothly on 1.3.

I Nandroided back to 1.2 and am extremely happy. I appreciate your hard work and hope you continue. I will continue to try each of your new versions but will return to 1.2 until something new is significantly better.

Don't feel bad. Eric Clapton has many great hits but non better than the original Layla from the 1970s!!!!!! You're in good company.

[Streak 5 Android Development] cs_streak:
is the 1.3 already released?
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
1.3 is beta

I figured out the animated + transparent option in the UOT. Cool. Updated my theme. I also added window animations and a themed lockscreen.

Stuck on lock screen

Allo Allo,

Followed all the installation instructions as closely as possible, and find myself stuck at the lock screen with the device not responding.

Coming from the stock 351 rom, to Simple Streak 1.2

Any thoughts?

:)
[Streak 5 Android Development] netomx:
Yes, factory reset from the Dell MENU, not the recovery.
[Streak 5 Android Development] andeld:
Hi!

I have a problem with the rittrlabs apps: squats, sit ups etc. They are wrong displayed in only a vertical half of the screen. I will attach the screens for you to see what i'm talking about.

I have this problem only with the Streakdroid 1.9.1 and with Simplestreak 1.2 ROMs.

Now i have the Simplestreak 1.2 and it's working very smooth and fast.

Thanks in advance for any helpful tips.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rag1998:
No FC's so far loving it, with CPU set at 384max and 384 min, I got about 34 hrs of battery life with a few calls, data on all the time, Bluetooth On, random emails,took 3-4 pictures and occasional browsing. That's the best I have ever seen from this phone..
[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
384 max? hows the laggggg??
[Streak 5 Android Development] ramtix:
yeah..I'm about to ask the same..
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
I want to know why? If you check the time in state on the info tab in SetCPU you'll see that the phone spends very little time above the minimum you set. I use the ondemand scaling.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rag1998:
I wasnt using any heavy applications like games etc, For the functions I explained in my post it wasn't bad, never did I feel like it was lagging!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] rag1998:
I just felt like giving it a try and the results I saw were like I mentioned nothing I saw before from this phone, so I am giving it a try for couple mare days to see what it will do..

For heavy applications like games etc, I of course would have to set it to ondemand..Once I do some more trial runs on this profile, I would like to try the same thing with ondemand scaling and see the difference in battery life!! Ofcourse in the long run I will most likely be using ondemand, but when on the on road with limited battery, I would like to get the max juice out of the phone.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmhalder:
I've done benchmarks with low max clocks..., It really isn't as bad as you would think. that being said, I would move the minimum to 245, and the max to 576... no reason to have the minimum up from stock (unless this rom eliminated that setting). As mentioned, your phone spends a pretty insignificant amount of time above the minimum, unless you are using it. You wont save any real amount of battery this way, your actual usage is what really will dictate how long it will last.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Now run the benchmarks with four or five other things going on at the same time. That's when the CPU kicks into high gear if it is allowed.

The reason you might want a higher minimum CPU speed is if your phone is laggy when the screen is first turned on. Bumping it up a notch can fix this.

Most of the time when the CPU is maxed out something is using the screen, and I would bet that the sucks more battery than anything else on the phone.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmhalder:
But then you're running your phone at 384 all the time, and would probably end up having worse battery life than stock! defeats the purpose of underclocking the max.
[Streak 5 Android Development] untitledmangxg:
in 1.2 does not work ad hoc networks over wi fi?and why? on other roms build, after flashing wpa supplicant...everything goes ok...but with that one.....its not working!any idea?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cocaice2009:
so far, this is the best dell streak to me, thanks for your work!
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
But its giving battery back same as sd 191. The worst . without perfmod

min-384 max - 500something(dont remember exact)
[Streak 5 Android Development] scdsone:
ive just ordered a cheap tablet (hannspad) so ill just be using my streak as a phone from now on

Hi everyone, I released the third test version Simple Streak v1.3.

Changes compared to the second test version:

new build Simple Streak Kernel

removed Swype

In this version I have been very good feeling :) Download and test here.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Hi Spidla!

Does your ROM contain Russian language?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spidla:
Simple Streak ROM is based on official ROMv354 and unfortunately the Russian language does not.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
hi spidla,

Thanks for your great work, as till now its the best rom in comparison to steves roms (sorry steve)

But , one thing i want to ask u spidla, i have installed 1.2 without perfmod but the battery is not able to last more than 10hours hardly.(tryd without using setcpu, and with setcpu frequency to the lowest 384 - 576)

Pleaz help here. i dont wana shift to the stock or sd)

flashing ur new test 1.3 release now

how ppl here get more than 1day.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Oh well. I guess MoreLocale won't help?
[Streak 5 Android Development] scdsone:
is there a reason why you have removed swype??
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spidla:
There is, I do not use Swype :) But you can install it from this package.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cocaice2009:
you mean worse battery life compares to the stock rom? maybe i don't know that becoz i directly flash to simple streak 1.2 once i got my device, but compare to my desire HD, the battery is much better already
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spidla:
He tried a factory reset? My Streak is running on battery 1-2 days, with moderate use (phone calls, sms, internet).
[Streak 5 Android Development] cocaice2009:
1-2 days??! how come yours can last so long? did you have google push services on? mine is about 10hrs(much better than Desire HD)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spidla:
No, I do not use any notification. I just turned on sync contacts and calendars.
[Streak 5 Android Development] IIIV:
My Streak's battery with SS 1.2 lasts 24 to 48 hours. I also use Battery Calibrator by Potente, which is free from the Market.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
Compared to stock battery life,is bad, and JUST INSTALLED YOUR TEST VERSION 3 SIR SPIDLA, my battery charged 65% and that all 65% WAS GONE IN 4 hours

OTHER THAN THIS BATTRY LIFE TEST 3 VERSION ITS SMOOTH AS HELL , MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN SD
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
Haha u moderate use, my phone is hardly on screen I.e. used half an hour in totall in all day , no back process running , no internet, wifi , lowest brightness, no wifi , no sync
[Streak 5 Android Development] IIIV:
It's advised that you calibrate your battery each time you switch ROM's.
[Streak 5 Android Development] scdsone:
i get 24 hours easy with light to moderate use with mostly everything knocked on full

data & bluetooth knocked off but everything else on

45m phone calls mixed with viber phone calls

30m txts mixed with viber txt's

1h 30m of watching avi's with rockplayer

45m to 1h reading books with aldiko

45m playing games (angry birds, bubble blast, etc etc)

45m on & off wifi at home through out the day

im sure i do more than that but you get my drift....
[Streak 5 Android Development] devdarshan:
Wifi always on (Except when outside)

Data Always On

Gmail Push

Exchange set to 5 minutes

LP Friends (Twt/FB) Sync set to 1 Hr

Walking Navigation daily 10-30 minutes locating addresses

Occasional calls, SMS

Screen brightness set to auto

I get roughly over 24Hrs without pain, am quite happy with that.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ramtix:
Just flashed the 1.3tester..the swype keyboard always FCs on start up..Does anybody else have the same problem?

How to boost I/O Performance

Installed it and it is running fine.. I don't have any issues with this ROM.

Just a suggestion:

1. is it possibe if you could mount partition as noatime

#remounting the file systems with noatime and nodiratime flags to save battery and CPU cycles

for k in $(busybox mount | grep relatime | cut -d " " -f3)
do
sync
busybox mount -o remount,noatime,nodiratime $k
done

2. is it possible to flag mounted partition as non rotational

#flags every mounted partition as non rotational and increases it's cache size for more read speed

MTD=`ls -d /sys/block/mtd*`;
LOOP=`ls -d /sys/block/loop*`;
RAM=`ls -d /sys/block/ram*`;
MMC=`ls -d /sys/block/mmc*`;

for j in $MTD $LOOP $RAM
do
echo "0" > $j/queue/rotational;
echo "3072" > $j/queue/read_ahead_kb;

done

echo "3072" > /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb;

for a in $MTD $MMC
do
echo "512" > $a/queue/nr_requests;
done

3. is it possible to add db files optimization

#sqlite .db files optimization

for i in \
`find /data -iname "*.db"`
do \
sqlite3 $i 'VACUUM;';
done

Please check my code coz it works on my Samsung Galaxy ACE and boost I/O Performance.

I got my new Dell Streak few days ago and applied your ROM.. However, running Quadrant Advance is showing low I/O Score..

Please let us know if my idea is possible..

Thanks...
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Light, fast and stable.

Thank you, Spidla.

Using your ROM since yesterday - light, fast and stable.

Do i understand correctly - you've built own kernel for this rom?

I don't know much about ROM creation, but if i put corresponding apk's from 351 ROM, i'll get Russian?

Sorry for questions with possibly obvious answers.

I've installed via Root Uninstaller:

Calendar

Music

Contacts

Gallery3D

MMS

Phone

Settings

from 351

[Streak 5 Android Development] mid_life_crisis:
Any possibility of getting the overclocking option without the reduced voltage? From what I remember of my days (way back) overclocking computers, reduced voltage in combination with overclocking could result in instability. On computers, overclocking is generally accompanied by raising voltage, not reducing it. It has been a long time, so I could be misremembering. Of course I did find this quote on another forum, so maybe I am correct.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spidla:
Reducing voltage does not mean less stability, voltage is not reduced by much. You're already overclocking with my kernel tried?
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
What do you recommend for overclock? SetCPU or CPU Master Free? or something else? Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] mid_life_crisis:
My phone is just flat unstable no matter what I run on it. At this point I am running AT&T 353 official. I started by following the instructions in the wiki to upload the previous version then let the phone do an over the air update to the current, as this seemed like the best chance of a clean install. It is fine for very short term use but anything that runs for several minutes (long phone calls, Navigator, games) ends in a series of spontaneous reboots. I used it for a couple of days in exact factory version but it was still unstable. I tried rooting it and renaming everything I was absolutely sure wouldn't cause a problem but there was no improvement.

I have tried your version both ways and I liked it, but it is no more stable than anything else I have tried. My phone clearly has a hardware problem.

Define "not reduced by much".
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsalib:
Ok I have spent the last few hours reading this ENTIRE thread. I know, no life, but I'm off tomorrow and I love doing crazy new stuff to my phone.

To the point...

I guess you can say I am running frankenstreak. Devs are more than welcome to use the name.

I have a stock White Dell Streak on att running 351.

I have deodexed myself. Read the forums.

I used:

1. the Simple Streak 1.2 kernel and the proper /system/lib/modules files so wifi will also work (dont forget to fix permissions)

2. The init.streak.post_boot

3. DJ Steve's zipalign script in 1.91. I created an init.d folder in /system/etc and use Script Manager from the market to run as root and run at boot (that was a hint for anyone wanting to add a script to Simple Streak)

4. SetCpu to overclock.

Its not the fastest compared to others' results or high on the quadrant scores, but it is awesome. I like to stay as stock as possible.

Spidla you have done something to my streak experience, and it is awesome.

I'm still having trouble using the kernel in 1.3 with wifi, maybe cuz something in DJ's kernel mods require more than the wifi files.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks again to DJ Steve and Spidla.

p.s. Sorry if this is redundant or uber long post. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsalib:
Can these lines be copied in the init.streak.post_boot file as is?

I'm obviously not the greatest when it comes to writing scripts.

Thanks in advance.

**EDIT**

Ok so I just copied and pasted into the init.streak.post_boot file and I have no noticeable difference, I most likely did it completely wrong. I also added DJ Steve's zipalign script to it too. So I for sure either did it completely wrong or there was no difference to what I had before this.

Please advise.

Flashing Simple Streak kernel

rsalib, would you be so kind to provide instructions for flashing Simple Streak kernel to stock rom?

update.zip would be even better :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Slvrback:
Could someone please answer me this simple question? In the system>app folder, all the apps are duplicated one with .apk the other with .odex, why is this and is it ok to delete the .odex apps?? Cheers, Slvrback
[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
they are .odex file which store info about the .apk, you have to De-Odex to get rid of these. It involves running a set of commands to combine the two. There are programs that will do the whole batch for you.

Video Camera force closing

Hey guys... posting here because I only see this problem in SimpleStreak...

My video camera force closes no matter what settings I use. I normally run StreakDroid but I'm just giving SimpleStreak a shot to compare battery life (no difference I can tell by the way)

Do you know how to get into fastboot mode?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
what to do after getting into fastboot. which all file to flash, lots of files in kernel folder
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Yes, I know how to get into fastboot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsalib:
Ok the kernel is the boot.img

When your phone is connected in fastboot

Make sure the boot.img file is in the same folder you are running the command prompt.

Before doing this...move the files from /system/lib/modules of the rom zip to your phone's /system/lib/modules folder. You need these for the wifi to work. Make sure you change the permissions after copying to 644 or rw-r--r--

If you are not sure what those permissions mean. Just check the original file before replacing.

Type:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash boot boot.img

Wait for it to finish. Should only be less than a minute.

Then

fastboot -i 0x413c flash reboot

Phone will reboot.

Goodluck. I am not an expert. Make a nandroid backup before doing anything. I live and breathe in the recovery mode backingup and restoring my phone from all the crap I like to try.

[Streak 5 Android Development] ericj:
Hi spidla

Just flash your testing 4 rom it's nice and fast , but would you mind to optimize the ram cache to 2048or 3072etc because I change it every time but it will be return to 128 default value. Finally I think try to optimize the rom is much better to overclock except we can solve the battery life problem.
