[Streak 5 Android Development] mid_life_crisis:
Well, I decided to give this a shot because I was disgusted with the bloatware on the official release and for some reason Simple became unstable for me. I'd been holding off because 1.9 sounded like an old version. When I realized it is based on 2.2.2 I jumped on it.

I created the install file and elected noapps, the lean, mean launcher and us180 for my tired old eyes.

Took forever to get it to run. Various combinations of reset, install, blah blah, kept getting stuck in a lock screen - boot logo loop. Finally swung a dead cat by the tail at midnight in a cemetary and the thing is working. Feels nice. Like the lean launcher.

Puzzled by three things though.

1) I chose the absolute minimal install and it has a ton of apps, including Facebook. What's up with that?

2) The CPU app crashes as soon as I open it. Installed Busybox as that often fixes things that need root access but won't work. No help there. Anybody else encounter this and have any thoughts?

3) I can't get Fancy Widgets onto a screen. It goes through all the steps and when it finishes, no widget. Any suggestions?

Edit: Could number 2 be because I did not opt for the perfmod?

[Streak 5 Android Development] chrisrotolo:
all the apps are base/standard install

there is a noapps option to install.txt to remove these I believe.

I would just remove the ones you dont want with root explorer.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mid_life_crisis:
I've gotten used to apps auto-updating. I completely forgot about doing it manually. Doh! Thank you, that did the trick. Now if I could just figure the deal with the widget.

I did the noapps options. That's why I'm puzzled.

I'm liking how smooth this thing is. Steve did a nice job with it!

I'm having the same problem: can't download or install anything from the market or app. apks on my SD card. Tried all the tricks from the Streakdroid 1.9.0 postings (clearing caches from Market, Market Updater, wipedDalvik, removed & formatted SD card, reflashed 1.9.1 four times). Nothing has worked.
[Streak 5 Android Development] maltloaf:
I've had the above problems too, market access is sporadic at best and I keep getting a network error, but only on the market and mostly on wifi. Rolled back to SS1.2 until something gets figured out.

Other than that, it was very very snappy and I was very happy with it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] krazman325:
Changing the fingerprint has always taken care of this problem for me. See post #219 in Simple Streak 1.2 thread for instructions if you are not familiar with the proceedure.

[Streak 5 Android Development] Edrill:
Not really sure why some people are having so many issues. I've got zero problems! Here's what I did.

1) Boot into recovery and perform a Dell factory reset (NOT the StreakMod factory reset)

2) Upgrade to 1.9.1

3) Dell factory reset again

I'm not using perfmod and my install.txt is minimal. Noapps, tabletphone, portrait and us140.

That's it. I know it may seem like too much work, but I've not had a ROM FC on me or act funny in a while now! Unless that's how the ROM was supposed to behave! :P

I changed the fingerprint and also cleared the market data too, no change

Did all of that to no avail. I can't even install the apks i have on my SD card. The install process starts but never completes. Just hangs in the install process until I back out of it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
I was having the same issues. So far I reverted back to stock rom 351. Then upgraded to 1.9.1. After this started to install all my apps manually without out the use of Titanium backup. After all this I will use My backup pro to backup all my apps. Not going to use TB. So far I have been able to install most of my apps back manually. I am not sure if thid fixed the problem will need to try it for a couple of days. The problem will always arise days later after fresh install. Crossing my fingers that this process works.

Market Issue: Solved, for me at least

As others have mentioned, I just combined everything I found in this thread and it worked:

1) Update your ro.build.fingerprint in /system/build.prop to the stock 351 fingerprint found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14834286&postcount=219

2) Force Close, Clear Data on Google Framework Services

3) Force Close, Clear Data on Market

4) Reboot into StreakMod (CWM would likely work as well, but who even uses it on a Streak??)

5) Clear Dalvik Cache

6) Fix Permissions (optional I would imagine)

7) Clear Cache

8) Reboot

If this doesn't work for you, maybe you should consider an iPhone...I kid, I kid :D

Good luck! :p

I'm using the same Baseband, 318, and never bothered to change from the AMSS.MBN that Steve recommended from GingerStreak 2.0, and I've had no problems with SimpleStreak or StreakDroid. If I do though, that's the first thing I would look at. Don't think that is the infamous "old engineering baseband", though. I thought I got it from the unlocked US Dell update.

Also, curious about the optimal configuration.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
for all streakdroid roms you should run the latest baseband (as of this posting is either 351 or 354)

The only correct way to install them is by using the stock rec to flash the pkg, installing it with fastboot is the wrong way even if it works.

The original 2.0 baseband shouldnt be used at all, as that's why it's been removed.
[Streak 5 Android Development] metal1f3:
Everything is stable and smooth so far. 2400 in quadrant. And in case anyone was wondering, Netflix is working with the HTC build.prop changes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
I used clockwork mod app once to flash. There's a thread somewhere in here explaining the steps
[Streak 5 Android Development] bigtoysrock:
So if your on say baseband GAUSB1A130300-US 303? You would have to update your baseband? Would it just not work?
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
It might work, but being on an old baseband is another possible route for issues.

On an unrelated note, 303 is a rom I have no info on, did you already install streakdroid or are you still on the original rom?

If you still have the original rom could you make a nandroid before installing streakdroid?
[Streak 5 Android Development] bigtoysrock:
I did make a nand and yes I flashed 1.9.1.

I knew I had a red headed step child on my hand when I could only get the dell recovery to come up. Also there was a install.txt on root and update 1.9.0 on there also.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Also I have a screen shot of the about phone page in the streaks general section under "what is this". Just so you can see some info.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
errr I flashed 354 when on 1.8.1, using fastboot. And on Monday I installed 1.9.1 then did factory reset from the Dell recovery. But everything seems OK and stability is good - in fact I don't really have any stability issues that I can think of so far.

What problems does flashing the baseband via fastboot cause? I'm also still on clockwork mod recovery, again cos it seems to work. What's the benefit of using Streakmod instead?

to any having Market issues I can confirm (thanks to Marvin) that changing the fingerprint string in build.prop to the one from 351 works.

Had a f/c on Pro Evo 2011 yesterday but I'd just installed a load of stuff including that game and since rebooting it seems to be OK again. GT Academy HD (Gameloft) is working very well too, better than it did on 1.8.1

I'm another one with a non-starting Streak Radio though. It's got Superuser permissions and used to work fine on 1.8.1 HAve I got anything set wrong?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jim-bo:
The baseband and DSP are the two main portions of the firmware installed at a certain level, they are not the only two portions. That means that if you just flash those, you are leaving other code at old, and potentially incompatible versions. By far the best way to update all of the firmware together is to install a stock ROM from an update.pkg, then install the custom ROM you want over the top.

StreakMod has some fixes in it to cope with correctly making nandroid backups in the case of some DELL stock ROMs where there is filesystem corruption of the firstboot partition. CWM cannot back these up, or restore them reliably.

Also, StreakMod is tweaked to look better in landscape mode,
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Excellent info - thanks! I'll use that method if I do another update.

But as long as everything works OK I don't need to worry too much I guess? I'm tempted to try an update.pkg and then a reinstall of 1.9.1 now, but then again apart from Streak Radio not playing I've no issues that I can identify.

Battery life is concerning me slightly, but I'm a heavy user and the screen can be on 45-50 minutes out of an hour if not more. It usually needs charging again by lunchtime... :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bledula:
Could someone please briefly explain to me what do the per page tables do as well as what volume does the volume boost enhance?

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mid_life_crisis:
I have come to the conclusion that there is just something fundamentally wrong with some of our phones. In my case, it seems that no matter what I install, I get occasional spontaneous shutdowns, after which on restart either the lock screen is frozen or it loops a couple of times between the lock screen and the boot animation until it finally freezes on the animation. Pulling the battery after that second loop usually results in a functional phone.

Perfect example; in the middle of Angry Birds Original last night, the wife started talking to me, so I set the phone down. After a little while it did a spontaneous reboot and managed to forget that I had just gotten 3 stars on the last 8 freaking levels (grrrr).

I installed 1.9.1 by first using every reset/clear/wipe function I could find and installing the 354 update.pkg then doing a factory reset then installing 1.9.1 and doing another factory reset. I don't know how much cleaner I can make the install.

I have also seen it do the spontaneous reboot while just sitting there on my desk, although that is less common than while doing something.

I have discovered that I have much better results with new apps if I do the install, clear the dalvik cache, and reboot twice. I am guessing that it rebuilds the cache the first time then actually uses it properly the second time.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rebski:
I have seen mention of possible issues with the internal SD card. But it seems hard to pin down.

Replacing this card is on my list of things to do, but since it entails cracking open the phone I am not rushing into it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mid_life_crisis:
One guy actually made a small cut in the end of the case so he could slide it out without cracking the case. He glued it back and says it looks fine.

I'm cracking mine to replace the screen for a crack in the glass. I'm going to replace the card with a class 10 just on the chance that it's a timing issue that a card with faster r/w times might fix.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dadme:
Too many problems for a final version. Battery drain to high, options that don't work on install.txt. Should be named 1.91b8.

Get back to 354 version, sttipped with titanium backup, no stageui, no bloat.This give me two days of battery life with moderate usage, no freeze, no random reboots.
[Streak 5 Android Development] maltloaf:
I finally got streakdroid 1.9.1 installed, at the third attempt.

I think my market problems came from restoring backed up apps and data from mybackup root as since I set the phone up from scratch, it's been fine.

Feels lightning quick and I'm enjoying steve's little tweaks.

This will do me I think, until we see Honeycomb (if we ever do)

Battery life definitely isn't as good as SimpleStreak. I usually get a good 24+ hours of fairly heavy use.

I haven't used my streak much today and I took it off charge 17 hours ago. It's currently showing 15%

having said that, performance is really good, it feels much snappier.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bigtoysrock:
Need to give it a few charges for the battery stats to sync better. I have always noticed that after you flash even on a full battery the battery drains quick the first couple of charges. Then it lasts longer.

Everything was fine the first day or two but now the phone is getting random reboots. I was on 1.9 with few to no problems. But now it has rebooted twice today and its hard to get it to change back to portrait after the reboot, on 1.9 I had adw set to portrait and never had a problem.

Installed it, did not do reset, booted right up; no issues so far 6 hours and counting :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ebaul:
Is it me or is there an issue with portrait? I specified portrait on the install.txt but it still boots in landscape and the main screen is still landscape. It does rotate to portrait, but I was under the impression that specifying portrait would keep it in portrait for home screen. I might be wrong..??
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
It's a known issue with the way the portrait mod works, it happens on all roms.

It only happens the first time every boot though, after it rotates to the proper orientation for the first time it works correctly for rest of session (ie until the next reboot)

Great rom

I just upgraded to 1.9.1. It looks and feels great.

With that said, here's what I already noticed:

My appdrawer went spastic on me, as if it was opening and closing real fast. Hitting the home button stopped it, and now it works fine again.

Second. I had the tabmail installed. It looked nice until it forced closed. If I try to refresh the email, it force closes. I tried changing it to conversation mode, but it forced closed and now force closes each time I reopen the app. Any ideas?

Either, is there a way to fix the app or replace the app?

Otherwise, I'm loving it.

Well, I'm on day two with 1.9.1

It was a bit of an journey getting it stable, involving multiple factory rests and flashes, but once I got it running properly has been perfectly stable.

My build options were

bios

volnoppt

Perfmod

Noswype

Noapps

It runs netflix and Plants vs Zombies, which are traditionally the two make or break apps for any Rom for me.

I am still having a few problems with app installs though. 99% of apps from the market, amazon or apks install normally, but a few just refuse outright, including aldiko, my svox voice (not the app, just the voice) robotek and a few others.

I've already tried the various market fixes listed in this thread, but they don't help.

I cannot install them from the market, amazon,apk or titanium backup.

I'm starting to wonder if I need a new battery!

In general (probably classed as heavy) use I can't get past about 1pm from taking it off charge before going to bed. Down to 85% by morning (about 6 hours with screen off). MSN Talk is constantly on in daylight hours and occasional use of other stuff - screen on most of the time using the calculator and some other apps.

I can watch the battery meter dropping! I kill stuff I'm not using too.

CPU Master - ondemand 1152/245

Interestingly, I put it in airplane mode last night and it was still on 100% at 7.15 this morning. Down to 78% now.

phone idle 45%, cell standby 19%, Display 15%, VTL Launcher 12%, WiFi 5% (20 mins during brekkie) and Android System 5%
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
try not to let ur battery completely drain and stay drained for too long.. this kills the battery life... try to charge ur phone abour 4 times when it get to around 50% (ie 100%-50% charge then 100%-50% and charge again and repeat) this should bring the battery health back up...

if this doesnt work, also try installing "System Tuner" its a great monitoring app and see whats eating ur battery so much. (best way is to leave it monitoring for about a week or 2 and comparing every couple of days)

if all fails get a new battery (dont buy the cheap chinese ones, they wont last u longer than 6 months)
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
thanks - i'll try that (in fact i've just plugged it in cos it had hit 50!). Normally I charge at about 30%

And yeah no chinese batteries, as a photographer I know to avoid them :). I presume that rules out the extended ones too?

It certainly seems to be "screen on" time that kills it. But I guess a 5" screen takes a fair bit of juice!

1.9.1 seems to be a very good OS. I had a couple of freezes yesterday but then remembered that the max I can run my CPU is 1152 and it was on 1190. No freezes since.

Pro Evo 2011 and GT Academy are definitely running sweeter on this one. And an issue I was having on 1.8.1 with wifi not connecting after using the phone seems to be fixed too.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
i heard those mugen batteries are alright but id go for a OEM battery.

Battery seems good for me.. Their was issues a while back relating to some basebands not powering down to a more powersave mode when main device was asleep and causing drain though I cant rem which or when.

well, just to confirm my post from b4... its 12:47am and I've still got 26% battery...
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
cheers Steve,

It definitely SEEMS to be the screen that nails mine. If I leave it off the drain is quite low (ish). With my normal use I can be at 81% or less within an hour!

Maybe I should try a .pkg update to a recent stock ROM and then re-install 1.9.1

IIRC I went to 2.1 official, then one of the Streakdroids (1.4.?) then 1.5.? followed by 1.7 and 1.8.1, flashing the baseband through fastboot where required.

Current baseband is 354EU (i'm a UK, O2 user)

Is there likely to be anything that would benefit from a .pkg update?

I'm definitely a fan of 1.9.1 - it's stable and fast. I still have what seem to be random governor issues on wake up (the slide unlock sometimes stutters and the CPU seems to not wake up properly unless you blip the power on and off) but I've got used to that being "general Streak behaviour" rather than ROM based as fas as I can tell.

EDIT: could it be VTL Launcher perhaps. I hope not cos I love it!

I've managed to get it running with the stock volppt kernel, but it's far more stable with volnoppt.

Touch Sensitivity

Thanks DjSteve! Really diggin the new installation options!

I noticed that the touch sensitivity on the screen as well as capacitive buttons require more pressure than before. I thought I damaged my phone from dropping it too much (i have an otterbox case :)) but when I flashed to SS1.2, everything was more sensitive. It just feels like anything touch-related requires more pressure. I've googled and didn't find anything related, but how would I go about adjusting this? I have carpal tunnel and prefer the higher sensitivity, though others might prefer otherwise.

Edit:

Ran screen calibration and seems to have fixed the issue.
