[Streak 5 Android Development] :
If you came from 347 baseband that might be why. Before I went to the gingerstreak I was instructed to be at a baseband of minimum 350 (I believe that conversation was in this thread). This update to bb 350 plus would help to alleviate possible problems with this rom. So the only thing I could think of doing (is what I had to do, and it worked fine. I chose the 354 baseband as I could flash the recovery through this tool-easy peasy):

1) Download multi-recovery flasher...MultiRecoveryFlasher.v0.8.rar (http://www.multiupload.com/ZUKZKOM2BN)

2)Download 354 package via..http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official (you can thank The Manii for this!)

3) rename the package to "update".pkg (no " ")

4) Flash that rom via stock recovery.....

5)Use multi recovery flasher once again to flash streakmod recovery or cwm.

6) Flash gingerstreak rom.....(don't forget your factory resets using the main Dell pre-recovery factory reset option)

7) push amss & dsp1

I know it seems like alot but I believe this will help you out. It worked for me and with the multi-recovery flasher, helps speed the process!

Good luck!

what do you mean by

(don't forget your factory resets using the main Dell pre-recovery factory reset option)

is that clock work or stock
[Streak 5 Android Development] BLKOUT!:
Thanks alot mate I'll try this out now.

Re: the baseband thing, I said I read most of the thread and honestly I didn't realize/think it would be a problem with the baseband so I wasn't looking for posts about that. When you're juggling 15-20 tabs at a time having spent most of your day parked at the computer trying to fix something while people are texting/calling asking why you're not responding to them you tend to miss a few things.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ThinkinBig:
Sorry I was a little harsh, I understand completely. I'm just still bitter over Fards leaving. I came from the 347 baseband myself on streakdroid 1.9.1 and flashed directly to this ROM and haven't had any issues but the earlier suggestion of updating your baseband definitely can't hurt.
[Streak 5 Android Development] BLKOUT!:
No problem, I felt a bit stupid when I did read more of the thread and saw the baseband thing being mentioned but it was too late to edit by then.
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
When you hold the volume rocker and the power down....you get the menu with 4 choices (I believe. Calibrate, factory reset, etc) ....that factory reset. Hell I do a reset in streakmod recovery and in the main Dell menu. Why not!

No luck unfortunately. I did manage to get back to SimpleStreak (which I couldn't do before without it crashing) but the data/phone issue is still there. I have the H/3G logo showing and the internet is working sporadically but I have 0 bars of reception at all times. Anyway who knows what I've done, will probably just buy another phone rather than continue to torment myself like this lol anyway thanks for the help I appreciated it.

Edit: Wow I fixed it. Flashed the Longhorn ROM as a last throw of the dice and it's working perfectly.

Edit2: Ok it worked for an hour now it's not again. Fml.

Why don't you look up your country and carriers APN info and manually punch it in under the wireless menu in settings? Also under network preferences make sure you have our set to GSM/WCDMA
[Streak 5 Android Development] BLKOUT!:
Yeah that was the first thing I did when it wasn't working. I've tried two other sims (from different providers) and the problem is the same. I'll just cut my losses I think I haven't got time to be messing with it for this long.

Quite possibly you need a replacement device. Could be something wrong with the streak itself.

Hi,

Thanks for this information. What are these settings changing on the device ?

especially, the following:

wifi.supplicant.scan_interval=600
[Streak 5 Android Development] streakOwner:
Changes the interval in seconds in which wifi scans when unconnected, saves battery .

All the tweaks are explained in depth in the threads I have attached and are much more there which I thought irrelevant for this build since fards has already embedded the important ones.

Yeah, what kernel power bug? do you mean Reset and freezing of the phone? :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] streakOwner:
The kernel has problems switching frequencies and states of the CPU and that its a major bug, for me at least. The fact that all these problems we are having, beside the obvious ones that are installation related, due to not so clean environment , not following strictly the steps, using many times conflicting applications that share same resources , going after scripts that someone here called them righteously "placebo effect" etc etc , are being reported over a "dead end" kernel that none is improving over it , I did digg into this thread and I tested the last kernel which was actually worked upon , that was one month ago, I do think fards did a mistake giving this kernel for testing, which actually was hyped, misunderstood and lead to the stop of the real code being developed , and when IceCream will come we would still be looking for Froyo stock ROMS for stability. btw even the 1.9.1 kernel suffers the same disease as this one, I am very much surprised that , that ROM ( 1.9.1 ) is hailed for stability.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Mike's Aria:
Thank you streakOwner for posting your build.prop changes!!! I haven't had a browser initiated reboot since making the changes. That was the only problem I was having with this rom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Lots of thanks for your tweaks!

I implemented them all except for the dalvik heapsize. I left mine at 64m because at 40 my status bar won't load up for some reason...
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
Do u just copy and paste the tweaks?

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Well the mediastagefright ones are already part of your build.prop, and the four of them have "true" values, so you change them to false... you also already have a value for the dalvik heap size, it is probably at 64, you change it to 40 if you like... the rest of them the answer is yes, you just copy them into your build.prop and make sure you left an empty line after your last entry.... do a dalvik cache clean from StreakMod, reboot a couple of times and see how she acts
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Widgets freeze

I've been playing around with this rom and love it...mostly.

Has anyone noticed a problem with widgets not refreshing? I'm using ADW EX and my clock widget and minimalistic text widget will sometimes go several minutes (15-30 or more) without refreshing. The clock on the status bar will be correct, but the widget will not. Same thing with the minimalistic texts widgets. All of these are from fresh installs. Following Fards advise and not restoring anything from backups. Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, a quick google search gave me my most probable answer. Apparently Gingerbread's memory management is way more aggressive and kills off the processes responsible for the widgets. Until the developers of the apps upgrade their apps, the only answer I see is blacklisting (or whitelisting...depends on your point of view) them in a task killer. I am not going to use a task killer, so I'll just do without the widgets until they are made compatible.

[Streak 5 Android Development] lumbard:
Thanks

I Just wanted to say thanks for this ROM, I have been using it since it was released and it has made me feel happy about using my streak again, so far I have not had to remove the battery or powercycle in a fortnight!! I followed streakdroid up through the versions, then simple streak and now this.

I use push exchange mail always on, push gmail always on and a bunch of news reading apps. Voice calls and a few texts.

I also flashed the prettier power bar and settings found in the apps section.

I put on charge every night and it runs for my whole day. It's behaving so well you'd think Dell could have not abandoned it and released something like this themselves.

I now can hold out until November when 'my next phone' the Galaxy Note is released (i'm a sucker for the big screen, though for me 7" is too big to have with all the time).

Thanks again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
Has anyone tried Tune in pro, or Tune in on this rom? My phone usally reboots or ends up acting crazy with this app.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Mike's Aria:
Make sure you remove the # sign in the build.prop in order to change your density.

It should currently show #ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Make it ro.sf.lcd_density=160

Be warned that this change may cause the market to show some apps as incompatible, and it will cause the phone.apk to stop working. Read

Another tip

Tip: enabling vertical sync (disabled by default here)

Change /system/etc/init.streak.post_boot.sh

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_fb/0/hw_vsync_mode
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/msm_fb/0/vsync_enable

[Streak 5 Android Development] streakOwner:
Why would you want to enable the vertical synch, gpu will do the same work anyway ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Okey - try to scroll long page in browser - xda has a lot of them :)

Try with and without sync in landscape mode.

You will see the difference.
[Streak 5 Android Development] streakOwner:
I already have, this is why I did ask the question.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Then we are using different devices or different ROMs.

What i've experienced on clean SD2.3b2 - redraws are "blocky", just like when you set VSync off in driver and play some game on PC.
[Streak 5 Android Development] streakOwner:
You have more stable performance with vsynch on ?

I think we use same ROM and same hardware, just the

sdcard probably different, we better PM not to spam here , maybe we find some more stability tuning the graphics , I dunno not sure that its any issue there.
[Streak 5 Android Development] asianftw:
I actually experience the same thing, its more like the screen split in half when scrolling long pages with speed
[Streak 5 Android Development] nutcr0cker:
Stability is amazing

I previously has the streakdroid 1.9 and it would get crabby if I did not reboot it once a day. This one has been rock solid the battery lasts at least 2days + with minimal use. Installing Google maps does cause a substantial drain on the battery even when disabling it through the scripts found on the forums. Was able to install netflix finally.

These are the mods I did and it made the phone optimal for me

1. Set the LCD density to 200

2. Installed the rebuilt phone app.

3. Installed the maps disable script
[Streak 5 Android Development] itsjdmyo:
^^ what is the "rebuilt phone app" you speak of and what does it do? thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nutcr0cker:
When using LCD density like 200 the phone app crashed consistently. The rebuild one works with LCD density of 200 or greater without much issues
[Streak 5 Android Development] streakOwner:
Anyone having crashes please post their dmesg log.

This is how to get it from the terminal.

$su

#dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt

and you will have on your sdcard a file named dmesg.txt

Thank you in advance.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
streakOwner, that'd be a good start.

--

To all StreakDroid users: If you're not familiar with terminal emulator:

If you can connect your Streak to PC - issue this command on PC:

(if your are using this ROM, you are familiar with adb command)

adb logcat -d > "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\sdlog.txt"

This will create sdlog.txt in your Documents folder.

Attach it.

streakOwner, would you care to create and maintain list of bugs in SD2.3b2 - it another thread, of cause? My english is not good enough to do this :(

Sorry if this was already solved or mentioned but:

I cant get this rom to install some apps including opera mobile from market.

I tried, factory reset (the one from dell), clean caches, reflashing, diferente versions of market, diferent google accounts (AFTER factory resets), signing on to Gtalk (someone said it might help). I don't know, I am lost.

So if any of you would be kind enough to try and install that via the official market and give feedback it would be deeply apreciated.

You know the answer:

It's been asked for billion times, due to this baseband is an engeniering one - it's just labeled as unknown. If you can not sleep well with it, then flash a baseband of your choice and don't complain about hard battery drain.

You don't need to flash your baseband, because Fard's Gingerstreak is working best with the unknown one.

[Streak 5 Android Development] streakOwner:
Folks , please !!!

When you install this custom ROM , try to read this thread at least, bcs all your questions are answered within this very thread , many many problems are due to not clean installations ,

before installing install stock 360 , then on every step , please do Dell factory reset , install the other necessary files as described very very clearly in this forum, I am not giving any links, so at least you will get some info, by simple searching in the development Dell streak forums, ie. this forum, after installing the zip file ,

do not do just one, but 2 Dell factory resets in row,

try to maintain as clean as possible the startup environment using Autostarts or similar applications,

do not install bull**** applications that that will mess up with your root environment,

install as few as possible apps that require root access, this is Linux , everything can be done from the command line (terminal) , yes everything, so this way you know what you are doing, this is the power of root, control of what happens , yes your control , so

do not apply tweaks that you just read here and there just for the fun of it, like I saw in some ROM ,

about browser crashes, I use Dolphin HD with many addons, and in desktop mode too, I never crash , and I do use it a lot , I charge my mobile 2 times a day due to heavy usage.

clean dalvik-cache at least once a month, it never hurts , on the contrary

the battery drainage is excellent in this ROM, install Better Battery Stats and follow your partial wakelocks, this way you will have even more control of what happens in the

about the photos being eaten from the gallery3d , not true, give it time on the first run until all the photos are indexed , from 20 minutes until one hour , depends how many are there, then after that all will be just fine

the "unknown" baseband is never a issue , on the contrary think of it as you are just too cool to have a defined baseband , ( you can even type your name there if you want, lol )

UNIX rule: if it ain't broke don't fix it.

And for God sake please read, when you bought this device you invested in it, protect your investment , simply by reading about how to do things.

All your issues have been solved , the solutions are spread all over the xda forum, find them, so this way you know what you are doing.

May the gods of the smartphones be with you !
