While I agree that CWM will work to flash, it will not work to recover if anything should go wrong. nAndroid backup and restore on the Dell Streak 5 requires StreakMod 3.2.7+

Here is your Gingerbread_BlueV2 ZIP with modified installer. Should work for everyone now ;)

There was an Update.zip thread a while back discussing what does what if you're interested.

Love to see screen shots of your BlueV2 and I will add to OP. I'm still not back on 2.3 (Streak is my main work phone...) But, keep on cooking!!

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

If you are noob, you will have much better luck using a Froyo 2.2.2 ROM such as StreakDroid 1.9.1, SimpleStreak 1.2, or Stock 351.

If you are still wanting to brave the beta testing waters, Step one is a factory reset from the Dell recovery menu. Then flash theme from StreakMod, and after successful flash, choose Wipe Cache, advanced\Wipe Dalvik Cache, and reboot.

Hope this helps. Might get more help in the general or q/a section. In fact, go there and read [REF]Everything you wanted to know about the streak, but were too busy bricking it

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

I posted link to a modified installer of Binary_Boy01 blue GB theme. Hope it works for you!

In re: to your Quadrant score, perfmod on StreakDroid 1.6.1 was posting scores over 3,000. However, "its just looping the cache from the quadrant app, and causes a lot more grief in the long run.."

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

gingersister does not have any extra kernel governors or overclock and therefore scores low on quadrant.

thanks for the reply nick,..too bad i already delete all backups of SD 191, since i dont have any complain bout GB2.3 by fards (and i mean not a single complain, no FC, no laggy, no freeze)..very loving it since its very smooth, and fast on almost everything i do (gaming, working, browsing,..etc). ive flash ur theme twice, but the result is still the same,..stuck on Dell Logo.

or maybe (just maybe),..is it have something to do with my internal memory changed? (ive changed my internal memory to 8gb),

or do i have to apply ur theme r8 after i fresh install GB2.3 Fards's ROM?

many thanks

ps: sorry for my poor english
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Hmm.. I don't know about the internal change, but think it should work fine. Themes can be flashed at any time (not just a fresh install) the fresh install would be best for troubleshooting. If SD23 installs ok, than theme should flash ok too... try first to wipe cache and wipe dalvik after flashing theme to see if you can boot without loop. Also, I have had to battery pull from a boot loop b4 and the subsequent boot worked without anything else done.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] danielkaboom:
thanks for the explanation nick,..i'll try it now,..hope get right this time,..

many thanks.

edit : lol,..my bad,..flash a corrupt file, re download it,..now it works like a charm,..thx nick for the themes,..

What app is that in the notification bar (the switches)? I'm tryin this theme right now, and its real cool!

Is there any way i can get back the original gmail app? :(
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] TheManii:
It's prob widgetsoid using it's advanced options, I have a similar setup. It's in my GB theme for 2.2.2 you want more screenshots
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Uninstall updates from settings\applications\manage\all like normal and reinstall from market. Or just reflash the ROM zip to go back completely to stock but keeping 3rd party apps and data.

Also, you can remove GMail using Root Explorer by deleting gmail.apk from /system/app (and then d/l from market) or use Titanium to delete gmail. Sorry, I've had a couple tonight... but did you try anything? :eek:
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Correct, Widetsoid 2.x. I wonder if we can leverage the HTC kitchen to custom our kernel to support using widgetoid in the notification bar like it should. (without it just launching a windowed instance). I know chrisrotolo looked at it for a while but gave up. I'm more interested in figuring out transparent settings.apk and porting transparent phone.apk, contact.apk for gb for right now.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] zsolti256:
Thanks

Not relevant anymore, going to leave 2.3 tomorrow...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
No prob. Just FYI, if you flash any of my themes, they will have a transparent/inverted gmail. instructions to delete from /system/app/gmail.apk and d/l current version from market hold true for Froyo & GB.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] crashDebug:
sorry for going slightly OT but I am trying to have notification toggles like in this image. I have searched around and found nothing working (the notification toggle app does not work). I was wondering is this a rom-dependant modification or did you achieve that with some strange apps etc?

I just flashed this theme. And you know what I lost my gmail, I couldn't find it anywhere not even in system app list not even in settings.

Any idea
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] khoacoi:
Thanks Nick,

I've just flashed in my Streak. It's great.

I only have one issue that my evernote stuck after syncing note from Streak to my account, I haven't met this issue before. Could you please help double check on it or do you have any idea? Thanks.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
There is an inverted transparent gmail included with my zip, so maybe flash again. It should copy to /system/app/gmail.apk (which can be deleted to d/l official gmail from market)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Not really related to theme and GB is a beta rom with no support implied. That said, try Settings / application / manage / all / Evernote and delete data and wipe cache. That should reset the app to market fresh status.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] khoacoi:
Thanks for your quick reply, thanks Nick.

Thanks again!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] kotelette:
i used it. looks nice, but some things are not so well looking in my opinion.

first the transparent green "pop-up" effect. its kinda hard to read.

the wifi symbol is a little bit hard to recognize, but thats ok.

a little bit to much animation, the spinning effect was a little bit too fancy.

is it possible to just get the percentage (battery-symbol) including taskbar? that was the biggest improvement to the gingerstreak-sister-thing from fards/Dj_steve...

anyway: nice work!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Maybe check out borijess' theme linked on the OP. He used one of the more traditional battery meters along with HC style notification icons.

Or, better yet, bake your own theme at the UOT kitchen and share what you come up with here! http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] danielkaboom:
i just want to say thanks nick, for this beautiful theme, tested and its really nice on GS23,..

however (sorry nick, im not complaining), sometimes its makes my dell streak freeze,..especially when i turn on all animation in display setting. after 3 days enjoying ur theme, i decide to go back to "old school" theme as fards had provide in his ROM, and never had freeze or random reboots again after that.

so once again, thanks nick,..hope to see ur great ideas again sometimes in the future.

ps : sorry to be off topic,..i just want to share something for GS23 user, because i cant post my comment on development section.

- for any1 that had problem with wifi tether,..simply ekstrak Gpio.apk and GpioSleepMode.apk from Stock ROM (i use 354 before i upgrade to GS23), using root explorer, put it in System/app/ after that reboot,..tested and it work for me.

Again,.sorry nick for being off topic,..if its bother u,..ill delete this post asap.

thanks.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
No offense taken. I noticed some animation choppiness as well as instability on my Streak. Also, adding in the proper XML for the TV style power off animation doesn't work properly. Too bad, but I am back to 2.2.2 Froyo for the time being. I have a couple ideas for some themes, but I think they will be released for Froyo as it is rock solid stable and not the developers preview build of GB.

...but I think that devs should have a little eye candy on their beta builds too! ;)

Hi,

The BlueV2 theme (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17683761&postcount=69 ) is really nice and I'd like to use it, but when I flash it, the theme breaks international languages (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285793 )

Is there a way to integrate the language files from that thread into the theme?

Thanks in advance :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] streak4m3:
If possible, I would really like battery icon themed for the new 2.4ROM. Just something that shows the actual percentage. I would greatly appreciate that if someone could create it.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
Updated OP with borijess 2.4 blue theme.

AFAIK, anything based on Gingerbread 2.3.3 should work with our modified themes (framework-res.apk & systemui.apk). Mine throws in a bunch of other stuff also, best to run Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik after flash.

Sent from my SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] nickshertzer:
It should work on all GingerBread 2.3.3 based ROMs and keep all languages. The reason for the reboot / power button hold mix up before was because DJSteve has that extended power menu which needs additional stuff in the framework. Therefore, it is better to base your UOT theme with GS2.4.4 framework-res/systemui.

Please try it out and report back! That way I can add a list of 'approved' ROM in the OP like before :cool:

The drive? Do you mean driver? The only driver you need to use ADB is the regular HTC device drivers. ADB itself comes in the Android SDK.

[General Questions and Answers] volpe71:
Hi!

A strange thing I really can't explain.

Our corporate firewall blocks gmail imap/smtp ports ( 993, 587, ... ) to force users to use the webmail only.

Infact, outlook, thunderbirds, telnet, and so on cannot contact pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587.

BUT via the same corporate wifi:

blackberry using stock bb client -> can read/send email

android using stock gmail client -> can read/send email

ipad2 using stock apple client -> can read but cannot send email

I'm one of the lucky android users but I wonder how can the gmail client connect to mother google if ports are blocked?!

Thanks,

Luca.
[General Questions and Answers] rustyshack3:
It may be a security restriction applied to the PC rather than firewall.
[General Questions and Answers] volpe71:
It could be but it isn't.

There is no security to the pc, there is only a firewall.

Ten minutes ago I did a test on my android.

I configured my gmail account on the plain email app using pop.gmail.com:993 and smtp.gmail.com:587 and it works via mobile data.

Then I switched off mobile data and corporate wifi on.

plain email app: can't send/receive (cannot contact server) as expected

gmail app : can send/receive.

:confused: :confused:

L.
[General Questions and Answers] LocutusEstBorg:
The native Gmail app uses Google API over HTTP and thus is firewall proof.

iCloud uses a combination of HTTP and other ports hence you can partially read some messages.

Any other 3rd party client will use the regular ports for those protocols and won't work behind a restrictive firewall.
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
wtf... when you need wifi access it turns out that the mac address of the phone is filtered...

to be sure, changed my laptop wifi mac to match the phone one, and guess... no access....

ok the mac address on the phone wifi, can be changed temporary, but it is a pain (and when i say pain i mean repeating pain:) )

so i found that actually the mac is stored in /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin

long story short...

moto mac 11:22:33:44:55:66

relevant part in hex of the nvs_map:

00000000 01 6D 54 [b]66[/b] [b]55[/b] [b]44[/b] [b]33[/b] 01 71 54 [b]22[/b] [b]11[/b]

and changed mac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff

and the relevant part in the nvs_map

00000000 01 6D 54 [b]ff[/b] [b]ee[/b] [b]dd[/b] [b]cc[/b] 01 71 54 [b]bb[/b] [b]aa[/b]

after replacing the file (ofcourse, make a backup)

the change will be permanent (or at least until restore from the backup:)

so choose carefully the mac address please

i tested that with success on my xt720, i suppose that the trick will work on every phone which utilize /pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin file on wlan initialization...

e.g. if there is service like

service wlan_loader /system/bin/wlan_loader \
-f /system/etc/wifi/fw_wlan1271.bin -i /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini \
-e [b]/pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin[/b]
class post-zygote_services
disabled
oneshot

p.s. intensionally the post is not very user friendly. the reason is that i am afraid that if somebody do not understand really well what to do, can screw the wifi. I cannot explain in great details, but the above is more than enough if someone know about hex editors, copying files etc..

Good day to everyone! As an Archos 70IT owner (which as you know has only 100ma of power provided for usb interface) i wonder does 3g dongles like Sierra 595u can be self-powered, meaning they will use built-in accu (like 595u which has 1750mah) to work in presense of insufficient power from Archos usb host. I believe that there are a lot of such devices with their own batteries, maybe they will help us (70IT owners) to solve problem with low output on usb port or finding external power supplies.

Second question i realized just in googling about 595u. Apparently it has a built-in GPS reciever - obvious question: can this gps reciever be also used (along with 3g or separately) thru usb cable?
