Dj Steve...you rock!!! woot...I've been using StreakDroid since version 1.9.0 and despite a few nuisances here and there, overall experience awesome...thanks for all the hard work...I upgraded straight from 1.9.0 to 1.9.1 with no issues, smooth process, well almost smooth except for tapatalk which kept on sending an error message to the screen, but that was the least of my worries...everything's great so far...

dell stage widgets

is it possible to put the dell stage widgets on another launcher? since the dell launcher doesnt work on 1.9.1, is it possible that the stage widgets can still be used atleast?

and if so, what are the steps to do this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Stage widgets require Stage home. There was a post in this thread that stated that removing Stage and reinstalling fixed the issues. I don't use Stage.

Stage 1.6 available here

I just installed this ROM, but the battery drains so fast. I put the "perfmod" in the .txt. Should I re-flash without it to solve this problem? Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

<edit>

I am charging the battery several times when it reaches down to 70% or so to see if it has something to do with the battery meter sync issue.

<edit2>

Lost 13% within one hour on original smart ass setting and LCD light kept on. Background apps all killed. Now waiting to be charged 100% to calibrate battery with "battery calibration" app. Does base band really matter?

<edit3>

Changed base band to 354.pkg, but this does not change the battery usage. Haven't done the calibration yet.

<edit4>

Battery calibration did not change the situation much. Reinstalled 1.9.1 without perfmod, but didn't change it either. 12 to 13 % per an hour with the LCD back light on. Now I am wondering if it was like this level when I was using older version, 1.7.0 before installing 1.9.1. But did enough tests for today.

questions, does anyone have install-recovery.sh in /system/etc ?

if not, does anyone know how it boots to stock recovery even with custom installed?

One other question, if anyone has stock recovery removed, could try the command su# reboot recovery from terminal on your device and tell me if it works.

Thanks guys. Ive done a full search on device for install-recovery.sh, and messaged Steve and Fards, though Im sure their super busy, I also tried IRC.

#puzzled#
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
If you need a file from a stock ROM go here pick the directory for the ROM you want DL the update.zip and extract it. You now have all of the files for that ROM. If there is no update.zip in the directory you pick try the closest ROM to the one you want/need. Thank TheManii for the resource.
[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
I dont want a file from a stock ROM, Id like to know where it is, or how SD 1.9.1, still boots to stock recovery?, when I have streakmod installed.

what If I were to do a fastboot erase recovery.img?, would that get rid of stock recovery once and for all? Then of course flash a custom one.

does install_recovery.sh disappear on its own?? I thought it stayed in /system/etc, in case there's any problems.

I tried reflashing sd 1.9.1, not there.

how do I get rid of stock recovery in my"unique" situation.

[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
no, I know this. Now it is sinking in. I have done this before, I thought it was on an early streakdroid. I think I was just getting a little frustrated. I will try factory reset, if thay doesnt bring it back, I will install update.pkg

thank you
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
I never had this problem when testing 1.9.1.

Sorry my previous answer didn't address your needs. It sure sounded like you wanted the file and I told you how to get it.

If you want to find a file or commands in a file on 1.9.1 you can unzip the ROM file and search it. If you look in the install-recovery.sh file from a stock ROM you'll see the command and then you can search for that string in the 1.9.1 files.

Sounds like something went wrong in your flash of 1.9.1. I would suggest that you factory reset, install 351 or 354 stock rom reset again and then install 1.9.1. That seems to clear up any 'funny' issues people have with StreakDroid.

is there a certain baseband i need ot flash on my streak to get 3g back because since 1.7.0 i cant get 3g

i cant even factory reset to stock rom wont load it up
[Streak 5 Android Development] maximoz:
Try to manually enter the 3g info of your provider and see if it helps.
[Streak 5 Android Development] macqueyl:
What finally worked for me was taking out my external SD card (temporary fix). This allowed me to download & install from the Market, but I coudn't do anything with the .APKs that were on my SD card & as long as the card was in my phone, the Market wouldn't work. I then copied everything from my SD card to my computer, formatted the SD card, copied only the .APKs (not all the other stuff) and inserted the card back into the phone. It worked.

One way you can tell if your SD card is causing an install problem is to go into "Settings, Applications, Manage Applications." Click on "All." If the spinning thing in the upper right corner spins forever, something is gong on with your SD card and you may need to try what I did above. To test it, take the external card out and go back into "Settings, Manage Applications, Applications;" if the "spinning thing" eventually stops spinning, this is a sign that your external card is causing some type of problem. I've found that as long as the "thinker" is not spinning, I can install apps. Craziest thing I have ever seen & I have no idea of how to explain it, but it worked. I think I ended up doing the same thing on 1.9.0.

Hopefully this helps you

Dammit dammit dammit

Just when I thought all was well, it goes and plays up on me

I was re-pairing the bluetooth with my car's head unit but it wouldn't reconnect media (i'd had it turned off). So went to reboot and it just hung on shutdown. After that it wouldn't stay up 5 mins without rebooting. Again and again.

So i've reinstalled without perfmod this time (just noapps, noswype and volnoppt). Not had time to do a factory reset yet but it's almost back to normal. BUT I'm still getting occasional random reboots - seems to be mainly when it's idle or coming out of standby.

I've also uninstalled SetCPU and cleared cache, dalvik and battery stats.

I think my main query is: Is it perfmod related? Does it do something to the system or the sd card that causes problems in certain conditions?

OR is it related to the bluetooth being active when it hung - could something have got caught in limbo?

AND will a factory reset restore stability? (hoping it's not going to be a hardware issue basically)

I keep getting market issues where I can't update or install new apps. Eventually it worsens then I can't sideload apps either. Can someone help me? Unmounting the card does not help.

[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
That's only happened to me when I have used a pirate paid app to check it's functionality and the only thing I was able to ever do to get rid of the issue, which eventually leads to accepting the service agreement each time I accees the market is flashing the ROM again and doing a factory reset.

I would love for someone to be able to one day tell me what file in what folder creates this situation so that I can just delete it or modify it
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
oooookaaaayyyy that's weird

the random reboots have gradually subsided and it appears to be stable again. Very odd. I think i'll still factory reset and do a reinstall (to get rid of volboost) at the weekend.

Still non the wiser as to what caused it, unless it's to do with the SD card jiggery pokery that perfmod does? Perhaps with it removed it's all slowly reverted to normal? I dunno!

Quadrant scores are down to around 1500 at standard clocking. but tbh it doesn't really feel less zippy. Maybe under high load - and Colin McRae Rally 2.0 on fpse has dropped about 5fps from 45ish to 35ish, but still fine for me I think.

EDIT: bugger - it rebooted and hung overnight - no alarms this morning and just a StreakDroid screen and half the battery gone once I rebooted it. Think a factory reset beckons......

*help*

while install 1.9.1 over att rom i did a factory reset through streakmod (i know i know, i didnt know till i read this thread) now my streak is stuck on the bios boot screeen with the android sayin initializing. the / has been spinning for about 20 minutes. is this because of the streak droid reset or does it take this long to load a reset and install gosuite etc.? if it is stuck. do i use adb to flash a previous rom or something? thx in advance

If you can boot into recovery reinstall SD from there.

Battery suckker sd

Any one found solution for battery drain..........on sd 1.9.1 m getting only for 10hours
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Yeah, get you a smaller phone with a bigger battery!!!

Anyway, make sure your wifi is set to never sleep so it's not looking for a signal constantly, make sure if you are on wifi to switch off celular data. ANd if you're not using bluetooth to switch it off also....

But if you are on the road all day and have all this switched on, you're not gonna get a full day out of the Streak anyway, the battery is just not big enough.

Flashing the factory update.pkg and then flashing over the top with 1.9.1 did help stability and battery calibration greatly though for me
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
wifi never sleep always .

no bluetooth use

no mobile data use

brightness lowest

and ya..... if i had to buy small phone >>>>i would not be having 3 streaks:p

i was just asking, coz sd drains battery too much

>>> Battery calibration manual or app one ???????

i guess ) wid apk battery calibration after charging to 100% clicking the button. and after that unplug charger >>>>>> and let the drain fully and then charge it again to 100% ....it complete one cycle??? em i right???
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
I notice very little difference in battery drain between stock ROM and StreakDroid... and that's with perfmod installed and overclocked to 1.2288. And no I don't use any apps for the battery. I just make sure that my battery has been at 100% for at least 15 or 20 minutes before I disconnect and flash. Once I boot up I cycle down to 20% at least a couple times. I easily get all day out of my Streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] sdelliott31:
Sidebar......if you set wifi to never sleep then if you are out of your wifi it will then go to 3g and not look for other wifis? Confusing. Never sleep to me means its always workng thus creating more battery drain.

Can someone explain this to me? Im on one network pretty much all the time or just on 3g which I have unlimited.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
If you leave wifi always on, it will ocassionally poll for nearby aps if it's not connected at all.

Turning wifi off while screen is off is by far the most energy efficient as even though 3g is slower and thus uses more batt, it's always on regardless of wifi setting. Having wifi always on means it completes faster, but at the cost of ALWAYS being on and thus draining battery.

Coming from my iphone 3g this is the reverse. The iphone's baseband chip is extremely power hungry, to the point that the cost of leaving wifi always on is still better then turning it off.

Unless you're constantly streaming data/updates nonstop while even the screen is off usually it's better to have wifi turn itself off while the screen is off.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
I have found out why Stage UI doesnt work on 191.

The music widget relies on the 2.2.2 music.apk.

191 includes the 3.0 music player from the market, it's also named music.apk

Reinstalling the original one fixes stageUI.

Here is a flashable zip that includes stage UI 1.6 from 351, it also includes every helper app that it needs to function.

mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/misc/StageUI/update-stageUI351-1.zip

This should theoritically allow you to use stage UI 1.6 on any 2.2 rom, possibly even non dell roms. But I have no interest in testing to see if it's true.

You may need to wipe dalvik cache after flashing it

Got an interesting one here. I followed the steps and put a instll.txt file on root of the SD card flashed it and nothing happend.

Make sure that you do the install file in note pad and save tbe file as install. The txt extension is automatically added. I know it seems obvious but some sometimes you miss the obvious when you are focusing on more complicated issues

Perfmod success? CPU App?

Just wondering if there are ANY succesful long term users of Perfmod?

Also,

What is the best overclocking app to use for the Steak with Streakdroid?

The phone is plenty zippy but as I get used to the phone I get faster than the phone. Wishing I could speed it up to the speed I had with 1.6.1/perfmod plus overclock.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
You should use SetCPU, it's free for xda members. Steve cant include it since non-xda members are able to download streakdroid without registering.
[Streak 5 Android Development] slaydog:
I have been using Perfmod exclusively since 1.6.1 and never had any problems- that I couldn't find the problem for...

I, and I think most others here use SetCPU, although DJ Steve includes another with the Rom that I have never tried. The most important thing to remember I think is not to go over 1190, at least that's what I have found. SetCPU seems to think you can go clear up to around 1500. Most instability I have found with this and other Roms seems to stop @ 1190. I get weird problems, too. Like poor Bluetooth quality sound, Google maps stops routing etc...

I know some over clock higher, but I kept running Quadrant at lower and lower speeds until it I found it to be stable %100 of the time; that was at 1190.

If you want it to get zippier, there are other tips and tricks, like freezing apps, installing Spare Parts (makes it look faster), etc...
[Streak 5 Android Development] slaydog:
I have Tasker set to search for my Wifi when I unlock the screen. If it doesn't find it it shuts off the adapter after a few seconds. Also, it shuts off the Wifi when the screen is off. I figure 3g is good enough for background data stuff, even when I am at home. If I happen to be streaming something, like satellite radio, I can turn off this rule in Tasker with just 2 clicks. You can also, apparently, set it to disable 3g while connected to Wifi, but I have not even tried...

If I look at my Wifi usage at the end of the day, even with it connected to Wifi every time it possibly can, it only accounts for like 1-3% of the battery drain.
[Streak 5 Android Development] AIR-WIZZ:
Thanks, I'm running setcpu at 119 now. Its running nice. Im gonna have to freeze some apps, though. I'm gonna format SD card... reinstall 351...1.9.1 w/ perfmod...318 amss...etc. Then apply new changes to new setup.

Adobe Flash at 720p

My Dell Streak is running smoothly on the 1.9.1 ROM therefore I never feel the need to upgrade it.

I discovered something interesting, I wonder if anyone else notice it.

With newest update of the Adobe Flash player 10.3, the Streak is able to play 720p videos in the browser (NOT through youtube app)!!

I thought the Snapdragon chip with Adreno 200 gpu is not powerful enough to play HD flash video - my Nexus One (also with the same Snapdragon chip) on MIUI ROM can only play flash videos smoothly in the browser up to 480p.
[Streak 5 Android Development] smnc:
I haven't tried HD video, but since the streak only has 480 lines or resolution, why bother with HD video? It's just working the CPU harder and the video will actually look worse since you're making the device downscale back to 480p from 720p.

Just bought a white Dell Streak two days ago, unlocked it for Tmobile. Question, does this ROM include ROOT? I have had the hardest PHUCKING time ever trying to root this damn phone. I am not unfamiliar with the root process, but this phone has me lost. I've heard there are ROMs out there that contain root and was wondering if this rom includes that? If it doesn't can I flash a ROM that includes ROOT and then flash this ROM? Thanks for any help or advice.

Build 15697

Baseband GAUSB1A135331-US
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Yes the rom is pre-rooted.

To root your current rom you could try gingerbreak or flashing the superuser.zip.
[Streak 5 Android Development] macqueyl:
I so feel you with the White Streak: there is something extra "unspecial" about how Dell made it. We seem to have more problems doing stuff than people with the other colors. DJ Steve makes the best ROMS, so this is definitely a good choice.

Stupid, stupid, stupid me!

I was trying out a Percentage Battery Meter on 1.9.0 (I didn't realize 1.9.1 had one already:confused:) from StreakSmart.com. It bricked my Streak on the StreakDroid animation screen. The stupid thing is (AND THE LESSON OF THIS POST!) I didn't Nandroid first.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID ME:mad:

I know better but was complacent due to the innocence of a wee l'il app like this.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID ME:mad:

To continue todays lesson, I found another flash .zip of another battery theme and it allowed the phone to boot but froze after starting. I installed 1.9.1 over the dirty 1.9.0 (as oppose to a clean 1.9.0 after FR...) and restarted and was able to back up some app date but dammit...STUPID, STUPID, STUPID ME:mad:

Question for Dr. Jeckle or Mr. Hyde

:)Steve, I know your busy but this question continues to remain clouded.:confused:

You clearly state in the first post of several, if not all, StreakDroid releases that the 318BB, AKA, AMSS is

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

, even with 1.9.1. Is this true?:confused:

:confused:Does it matter if it is flashed before or after the 1.9.1 update is made?

I would really like a clear and definitive answer on this as I have not found it yet. I will continue searching this thread (Im half way through the thread now).

I have 2 Streaks and one runs the 318BB and the other was left with the 351BB. The 351BB version seems to run faster; however, that could be for a number of reasons because one has a lot more apps and junk on it.

WI FI Issues

Does anybody having wifi issues? Mine wouldn't connect to any wifi. Any quick fix or advise? Appreciate all your help. THANKS!
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
First, if you don't want to lose data, make a nandroid backup in recovery. I'm going to assume you use streakmod recovery. If you don't, you should. Boot into it, choose advanced, then nandroid, then full backup. This will take a few minutes.

Look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000455

Familiarize yourself with it, download the tool, and use it to flash a the recovery image for the baseband you want. Me personally, I use 354 and am very happy with its performance and battery life.

Also download the pkg file to match the recovery. They can be found here:

http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii

For example, the 354 pkg file is this one from that site:

http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Streak_354_15881_11.pkg

Rename that file to update.pkg and place it in the root of your sd card. Turn off your phone, then reboot while holding both volume keys down. Choose the second option in the menu presented and let it update. What it is doing now is flashing the stock rom, in this case...354. The reason we do it this way is that there are many firmware files besides the baseband. Flashing a stock rom ensures that they are a matched set designed to work together by Dell. Now you can use the multi recovery flasher tool to flash streakmod, boot into streakmod recovery and do a full restore of your nandroid backup from earlier.

Now after having typed all this, I think you are alright with 347.
