ltrifonov, what our team would really benefit of - it's libril-qc-1.so with working USSD codes.

So far:

All waiting cycles in lib is same as in 2.2

Reusing it from 2.2 in 2.3 is nearly impossible, because lot of code has been moved to libril from framework (comparing with 2.2)

We might give a chance trying to compile RIL libs from CodeAurora GB-MSM tree, but something tells me that libril-qc-1 is already from there :)

Simply forcing the routine to complete the loop doesn't work either.

Quite stuck here.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ltrifonov:
ok, more details :)

i am using density 240 and portrait patch.

then, when I press the power button, screen turns off,

then after 1-2 seconds screen is back on, and then i can see extremely slow this animation, frame by frame ...

hm... did this change again and no such effect...

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

thanks for info, will take a look after little research ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
ltrifonov, you can always change animateScreenLights to true in framework resources :)

what am i doing wrong? i have 1.3 pre 2 and i went into dscconfig, turned on wifi fixer then rebooted, go back into dscconfig and it shows its off. now when the phone sleeps it wont wake untill i get a call or plug in the cable? is sonthing corrupt in a file? i reflash and the sleep thing is gone but i cant touch anything in dscconfig without it doing this.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Have you manually edited /system/build.prop?
[Streak 5 Android Development] peterson65:
no i havent touched anything
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
In /system/build.prop look for duplicate entries, like:

ro.build.DSC_CONFIG_WFIXER=0

ro.build.DSC_CONFIG_WFIXER=1

Remove duplicates if present.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I'd suggest flashing 1.0 and then 1.3, so all DSC system settings will be reset. Your data will be fine.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
DSC v1.3 Prerelease 3

First, a very important notice.

As you might already noticed, there was some strange problems related to Wifi/Data switching, locked settings, etc.

I wasted enormous time finding the real problem place.

One of observations was - setprop stopped functioning and a lot of network interoperability of Android relies on that.

While searching/testing/thinking i've found this article:

http://rxwen.blogspot.com/2010/01/android-property-system.html

Guess what?

Android property system is limited to 247 entries.

That's it. Feels like DOS, does it?

My next phone definitely won't run Android, that's fo sure :)

So i've removed some uselless and possibly useless entries, and guess what?

All is back to normal.

And just to make sure this solution works for all of us:

(i will mod core to support more properties, but not soon)

[Streak 5 Android Development] peterson65:
can i flash 1.0 and then go right to 1.3 pre 3?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Yes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
_n0p_ can't we just refer the settings in some /etc/rc.d/rc.local like script file ... or call them interchangebly?

Never mind. Just opened the file. This won't work.

Hi guys, what's the easiest way to apply the Arabic patch? I tried manually moving the files via es file explorer, it moved a few but kept hanging afterwards and had to reboot the phone. Is there a flashable zip..? Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Nvm, managed to make a flashable zip :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] madadody16:
Thank you all how worked on this rom......Simply its the best of all stock and custom roms....i just need one simple thing, please include Arabic (read&wright only) in the next release....again thanx guys....you are the best..
[Streak 5 Android Development] zAm1987:
Just wanted to tell about my first day with 1.3 pre2 and some weird wifi problems (phone thought it's still connected to my home AP, while being 100km away from home) and saw your post about pre3.

It's really somewhat funny to see that in year 2012 there are still higher operating systems with these kind of limitations. Will test pre3 and report about my expierences. Thanks again for your efforts! ;)

[Streak 5 Android Development] Hayth:
Not sure if anyone can answer but is GPS switching broken in general for the ROM atm or am I just experiencing this because I've flashed the Arabic support patch?
[Streak 5 Android Development] zAm1987:
GPS working fine for me with DSC. As far as I remember back on Streakdroid the arabic patch caused broken GPS, too. So I guess that's the problem ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] salvator83:
Yeah, I have that experience before ... :crying: ...& I'm agree that GPS working perfectly with DSC... :good: ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] Hayth:
Thanks for the quick reply guys, the Arabic support is more important for my dad (whose streak it is) than the GPS so I can live with it atm, although a fix in a future update would be great :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] pazi79:
My gps didn't work. Switching off wifi and reboot fix my problem :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Hayth:
Is that with or without the Arabic patch applied?
[Streak 5 Android Development] pazi79:
Without
[Streak 5 Android Development] uluvali:
YOU FIXED IT! Wifi to 3g and 3g to Wifi (non-working or white icon) problem resolved. You are the MAN!
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
use fastergps so that the gps fix is to the nearest ntp server...
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
GPS is working fine for me.

Is it not activated or cannot lock to sattelites?

--

How's the Arabic patch considering language support?

--

Next, i've fixed brightness button in notification toggles, and release 1.3 tomorrow.

--

Thank you for feedback, uluvali!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Hayth:
The Arabic patch works fine in terms of reshaping the text to become readable, however, once applied, whenever you tick the box to turn the GPS on or off nothing happens and apps just constantly keep asking you to enable it. Great rom tho, keep up the good work :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Hm. Please collect your logs after switching GPS several times, so could at least find what happens.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Hayth:
Will do :) although, im not entirely sure how to generate the logs you need..? Sorry for the naive question :P
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Take a look at the end of the second port, there's a short instruction on logcat.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Hayth:
Ah thanks, missed that :) ill try and get them over to you soon, thanks again man.
[Streak 5 Android Development] SJackal:
_n0p_ if you ever start to get bored or something, I do have a feature request for you.

Due to work policy, next to the Simcode lock, I also have my device lock enabled. And as a device lock, I have to use the PIN, (I rather use the Pattern to unlock, but company policy...). When you turn on the device, you first get the screen to unlock the SIM, which is a beautifull full-screen unlock screen, with nice big buttons for my nice thick fingers. But next the Devicelock unlock screen appears, where only half the screen is used! This causes that my poor big fingers really have to work hard to unlock the device.

I don't know why Dell did not use the same unlock screen for both SIM and Device, but for sure it's anoying. So if you do have some time left, please check if you can't use the SIM unlockscreen for also the device unlock.

Cheers
[Streak 5 Android Development] zAm1987:
Are there some changes in memory management somewhere between 1.2 and 1.3-pre3 or is there a new default in the dsconfig/build.prop (dexopt for example)?!

I get massive launcher redraws with adw.ex since updating to pre2 and then pre3. Adding in the infamous home_app_adj parameter in build.prop doesn't really help, too. Haven't expierenced those redraws on 1.2 and earlier :S
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Yes. Launcher weight was 1 instead of 6, and i've reverted to 6 some time ago, as i've noticed that sometimes memory manager goes crazy (memory is almost full, but for some reason it doesn't kill inactive apps, resulting in inresponcive system). I can prepare a different kernel for you, but you might want to check your background apps first.

I solved my mem problems by removing unneeded apps, disabling some with autostarts.

For example, AdFree app is not really needed as it simply replaces hosts, so it could be frozen or removed after installing the file.

Facebook app is replaced by Faster Facebook.

And so on.

Sadly, 512 RAM is a bit too low nowadays.

You can also try (and i'll include this in 1.3) increasing dalvik heap to 96m, so system will have more possibilities to freeze (and not to kill) background tasks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
i am on 1.3 pre 2

@ _n0p_

just wanted to confirm... why is it when we set portrait mode... the slider is not portrait on first boot... basically we need to unlock screen to get it portrait... is there any reason why it is like that...? not like cm7 portrait mode... it always portrait mode from the first boot... no need to unlock screen to get it portrait...
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I know about that. Got android.policy sources for our device? Me either :(

I have spent some time trying to find a solution, but did not succeed.
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
i see... i wish we could have someone show us some light too then :crying:
[Streak 5 Android Development] TiGuy82:
I think if we could have an app on startup before the lock screen to force portrait mode the issue would be fixed. :o

In my case I use portrait mode and no rotate sensor on Zeam, and everytime I boot is on landscape mode, but as soon I ran my bank online application ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scotiabank.mobile&hl=en ) that is set to be in Portrait mode, Zeam is automatically set to Portrait and the unlock screen.

I wish it could be so easy to fix it ... :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I though about it :)

App should unlock, switch rotation, then lock and exit.

Anyone?

:)
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
the problem is that .. the phone needed to be on landscape physically first (mandatory) before it want to lock in portrait mode... somehow it got mixed with the sensor... :eek:
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Another thing is that testing android.policy changes requires rebuilding dalvik cache, and I can't afford spending that much time for that.

--

If anyone is willing to work on issue:

Real problem is in ro.sf.hwrotation=270.

On boot device is rotated to landscape and system actually thinks that it's portrait (you see for a short time the sliders in different rotation).

Next, some dell hack kicks it and fixes it.

So we need to find this hack and make full track of booting android.policy.

--

Hey, that just gave me an idea :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DaniLoveSky:
TiGuy82, how did you manage to install this bank app? It says "Incompatible with your device" to me :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
yeah.. last time i tried to change the number... and the screen is in flipped position but the touch location is still like not the flipped one.. lol... :laugh:

it is really a mess when i need to figure the touch location as everything is reversed in screen .... lol... :laugh:

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

another workaround i use is by using orientation control... thats does the job 1 less step.. :p

set the shortcut to cycle and only set landscape and portrait switchable... that should done the job :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] SJackal:
To upgrade to 1.3 comming from 1.1, what are the steps exactly?

1. downgrade tot 366 BB

2. update to 1.2

3. update to 1.3

or:

1. update to 1.2

2. update to 1.3

3. downgrade to 366 BB?

or should I perform other steps?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Simply flash 1.3 over 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 (doesn't matter, works for any 1.x version)

Flash BB at any moment, it's not important too.

--

DaniLoveSky, deysmacro: Are you using autorotation in system and launcher?

--

And a request:

http://n0p.8bit.fm/streak/android.policy.jar

It contains much simper logic to implement portrait patch (by simply disabling Austin patch), but behave the same way as original portrait mod :(

Would someone test it and share the experience?
[Streak 5 Android Development] khoacoi:
Thanks for your great work, n0p.

apriciate your rom! It's very robust and smooth.

Regards,
[Streak 5 Android Development] DaniLoveSky:
_n0p_, I am using Streak in "fixed" portrait mode 90% of the time (autorotation off). Only when going into terminal I usually switch autorotation on to make better use of the Hacker Keyboard in landscape orientation (Keyboard Manager uses a sensor to chooses between Swype for portrait and Hacker keyboard in landscape orientation).

A necessity to manually switch autoratation on and off again after reboot does not bother me much. The ROM is very stable and I hardly need to do it once in a week (many thanks for that!)
[Streak 5 Android Development] djmax81:

Well, this problem started to bug me :), so i'll try again. I already made a much simpler portrait mod, just to find a way to forcefully reset window manager.

Thanks for the rom update, i've been running DSC v1 for a while now and just updated to 1.3. As always very stable and fast, brilliant stuff :good:.

One minor thing thats been bugging me is that youtube force closes. I fixed it by updating youtube via the market but i just wondered is the force close normal ?

EDIT: logcat attached. It seems a folder cant be created ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
TBH, i've considered YouTube issue a very low priority, sorry for that.

I remember it was enough to wipe it's settings and data.
[Streak 5 Android Development] drkdeath5000:
No problem and i agree that it should be low priority as its such an easy fix. Might be an idea to mention it on the first page to avoid any confusion though ;). Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
_n0p_ I have noticed some stability issues with the update.

The phone apk is lagging on dialing. Pressing the call icon, results in freez... and few seconds later it intiaites the call.
[Streak 5 Android Development] zAm1987:
I'm not running that much background apps and theres about ~130mb free ram left under normal circumstances. As I told already, I rarely had launcher redrawing with 1.2 and older versions. Now it's coming even after 15min of standby time. so I think the problem are not my background apps. :confused:

-----

And for the orientiation issues you guys are talking about. If you don't know it already, take a look at RotationLocker here at XDA. It's not working for the mentioned first screen, but works fine in general and with it's tasker integration it can lock orientiation when an app is started and free orientation after closing the app. Works even on apps, that usually "ignore" the orientation state. ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Odd, I can tell exactly different. Overall responsiveness

feels better for me with new anims and increased dalvik heap.

I'll prepare a test kernel for you, so you'll be able to test the difference.

Let's try disabling connection fixer, but first i'd like to see logs, grepped with DSC (in this erratic condition)

adb logcat -d | find "DSC" >mylog.txt
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
Sure ... but it will have to wait (no USB ports available at the moment) and can you give me a link to working drivers? I can't seem to activate the adb connection.
[Streak 5 Android Development] peterson65:
i cant change any settings or turn on the flash on 1.3 for the camera? just me?
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
nah.. i dont use any landscape patch...

the default portrait mode i took from longhorn 2.7 and it works wonders on cm7... basically it goes into portrait mode from the first lockscreen and maintained it... no initial from landscape then change to portrait...

i tried it on dsc... as i thought... it wont get pass the dell logo... :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Lucifer4obg, you can do it without cable. In terminal emulator:

su

logcat | grep DSC >/sdcard/mylog.txt

Would you wipe camera settings and data from app management?

My intention was actually to try building policy from sources. And it would be good to know if landscape patch works good, so time won't wasted

sorry for intruding as the question was not directed to me, I observe, GPS same as before, slightly slower lock, but maybe bcs of my position, web browsing, same slightly worsened, time drift, same as previously with 407, for battery drain watch your background apps, for me same.

Music was plaing, the light came up on pressing power button, but no picture. I could use the vol up and down but there was nothing on the screen. Had to take out battery and restart. But I think this is a random freez.

Tested the test kernel. So far the always present launcher redraws with 1.3pre-2 and pre-3 are gone. There are still some redraws, but they only take about 1-2 seconds (instead of up to 10 seconds) and happen less frequently than before.

But they're still not gone completely. On 1.2 and older, I nearly never had them...

Anyway, keep up the good work ;)
