help

1. Charge Streak to 100%

2. Copy DSC_v1.0 to root SD card

3. Get streak into Fastboot, (don't plug usb connector to pc, power on with Camera button pressed. Wait 20 sec, then plug usb connector)

4. Run flash.bat from 'DSC_flashme2' folder via command prompt, and follow all instructions

from where i could find that DSC_flashme2 folder ???? link plz ??

It's in the OP.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Regarding [MENTION=5265544]asfandnasar[/MENTION] and his random reboots:

As I mentioned in the Traveller DSC thread yesterday, I've downgraded the boot.img, and only the boot.img, to the 2.0 release version to determine if the boot.img is the cause of the spontaneous reboots some people, including myself, have reported. However, after reading the changelog, I went and changed out the 2.0 release version for the 2.2 version and am testing it now. I will report my findings at the end of the week, but my initial tests lead me to believe that the AT_RANDOM patch in the 2.3 boot.img is what is causing the spontaneous reboots by somehow causing a "FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: WifiService", which cascades into a crash of the entire system.

I own the game "Pinball Ride", and with the 2.3 boot.img, after playing it the system would spontaneously reboot. In fact, this was one of the rare occasions where I could play it, because with 2.3's boot.img installed every time I attempted to play the game the system would lag horribly, and it had never done that to me on any version of DSC. It was after such a reboot that I discovered the fatal exception error mentioned above. That is what led me to switching out the boot.img to see if that would fix the spontaneous reboot.

Please note, this is a very unscientific test, however my preliminary results are encouraging. With the 2.0 boot.img installed, I played Pinball Ride for several hours in a row, occasionally exiting from the game to see if I could trigger the Streak to reboot. I failed, which is a good thing. I am now trying it with the 2.2 boot.img to see if I can trigger the reboot, and will test this version for a longer period of time. If I fail to trigger the reboot, as I expect, then the solution to the spontaneous reboots is to replace the 2.3 boot.img with the 2.2 version. Logically, with the only real difference between the 2.2 and 2.3 boot.img files being the AT_RANDOM patch, the AT_RANDOM patch is the likely source.
[Streak 5 Android Development] soul_train:
Any word on new updates?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
_n0p_ hasn't had much free time lately so at this time there are no updates. Currently I'm testing a theory of mine (see my post above yours) which, if successful, I'll apply to my variant.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vankooten:
how are the tests going?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
So far, I've had one spontaneous reboot and one system freeze. I couldn't get a logcat of the system freeze but believe it's not related to the kernel itself. The spontaneous reboot this time around wasn't caused by the WiFi service crashing. I believe both the freeze and the reboot could be related to switching kernels in the first place, since the ROM I feel needs a little time to stabilize after installing.

In general, I'm pleased with the results compared to the 2.3 kernel and thus I will likely update Traveller DSC tomorrow with the new kernel. I have to update it anyway as HoloLauncher received an update.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vankooten:
personally i have never reboots the last, let's say, half year.

i do have occasionally a sort of freeze.

it's not a real freeze cause the system is reacting, only very very slow and it won't get out of this state so i pull out the battery and restart.

i do have the app "ram booster" running witch shuts down all the apps that are on standby but not running to clear memory.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I use Watchdog myself. I haven't had any freezes or reboots since the ones I mentioned, so I'm convinced there is an issue with the 2.3 kernel. Traveller DSC has been updated accordingly.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ammujee:
OK. Can anyone confirm if he is also facing memory getting low to 35-40MB after few hours of restart? I know I have few memory hogging apps installed (FB messenger, viber, we chat etc) but, I tried freezing all these also and still getting similar results. I remember that in pre DSC 2.0 versions we used to have around 130+ MB free ( never less than 90) with similar app load (correct me if I'm wrong)

I remember n0p clarifying that such free memory things doesn't make much practical difference until android is managing memory itself. But I'm facing unbearable lag and don't want to fresh install. I however tried clearing dalvik etc but of no avail.

Any helpful suggestion is most welcome.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't recall my memory getting that low, but I do know that the lag in my case was solved by changing the boot.img from the 2.3 version to the 2.2 one. Since I have my own version of the ROM, I simply replaced the boot,img in both versions. However, that's not something easily done with an installed ROM, so here's a flashable zip of the 2.2 kernel.

DSC 2.2 boot.img
[Streak 5 Android Development] vankooten:
if you search this tread for DSC_ko-3 zip

it is an extra memorymangement from nOp.

just flash it over your existing rom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ammujee:
[MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION] Thanks for the zip. I'll test and report if it helps. But as you had tested and reported its at least going to help in random reboot problem of 2.3 .

[MENTION=3079316]vankooten[/MENTION] thank you too. I'll try to find that zip and check. Do you have the page number or a link to that post handy?

BTW, how much free RAM you guys have normally?
[Streak 5 Android Development] vankooten:
its on page 572
[Streak 5 Android Development] vankooten:
about 150-190Mb free mem.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
212MB on a fresh reboot. In use, the lowest I've seen since changing the boot.img is 113MB. Prior to the boot.img change I was routinely down to about 65-70MB and ditching apps I had installed but rarely used, like Facebook.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Aaryana:
260 on boot and around 224 normally, on regular ram boost
[Streak 5 Android Development] ammujee:
Thank u all. Maybe its time for a fresh install for me. Getting envious seeing ur results. ;)

BTW changing the 2.2 boot.img did help a bit and still my average is around 55-60 MB.

[MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION] did you update your version of DSC with this 2.2 boot img, or we still need to flash this zip you provided few post before?

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Ok. Nevermind. I see that u have updated the OP there with this change. Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Works.

Check your /data/app for other flashplayes instances. com.adobe.flashplayer-x.apk

Wipe them. Reboot. Tap on Flash_Player.apk. Reinstall. Done.

And I can predict a drastical increase in number of DSC users :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] roy8846:
Thanks nop , there were 2 apks in there. Deleted them both ,

Rebooted ,

Installed apk however it said it was overwriting previous app??

Anyway I said yes and its still the same for me :(

Should I wipe cache and dalvik?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
What version has your flashplayer now?
[Streak 5 Android Development] uglyrooster:
Streak-LED (for showing new messages via LED) is not working in 406, it crashes when activating LEDs. It is a general fault, not only with this ROM.

Any idea?
[Streak 5 Android Development] roy8846:
@nop

11.0.1.153

I uninstalled , booted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik and fix permissions.

Rebooted and installed apk given on previous pages.

Site mentioned just says install flash player to see this video.

I have tried rebooting again as well.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Just tried free version by meltus - hey, great app! Leds work at least on Gmail notification.

Now I have an urge to decompile it, but haven't even a laptop right now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I'm out of ideas. Something prevents flash plugin to load on your Streak, but I cannot specify exact reason. And yes, you have the right version.
[Streak 5 Android Development] roy8846:
Nevermind nop.

Flash works on some sites , brilliant rom.

Have got it on 998 max clock with conservative governor.

Testing with my 1800 battery, will update later.

All games working so far great.

No sod, wifi seems fixed (no reassociate)

Surely no need for beta status any more????
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
It's not easy to pass our internal Quality Assurance :)

We even have not reached v1.0 :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Masterzer0:
No need for reverse patch. I prefer to experience the random reboot again and providing you with the logcat.

Other than that, this is a great rom and I am more than happy to use it. Thx again for DSC team for making this ROM.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mba07:

_nop_

Installed rom. Really good so far.

Is this kernal still undervolted?

Thanx for a brilliant rom.

[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Well i screwed up my install yesterday and did not have a nandroid backup so i had to do it all from scratch again. Now the wifi problem it's back...playing around to see if i can get it straightened out again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
lordmorphous, haven't you got any high-power electricity lines nearby? I'm serious, and just run out of other ideas...
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
I'm out of ideas too... It was working so good before I borked everything. The only other idea I have right now is to revert back to 0.6b and apply the wifi modules manually. That's when it started working good for me.

Something I noticed this time: Even if I set wifi sleep to never, it will not go off when the screen goes off, therefore I can't even use 3g. I'm stuck having to keep my wifi off all the time for now until I get this sorted out. I still think it has something to do with power management, and not wifi itself.
[Streak 5 Android Development] stang393:
One trick I found is to use the DELL White screen factory reset.

Streakmod was giving me the same errors as described after factory resets. Someone in another thread suggested the White Screen Dell factory reset and WALAA all my problems were fixed.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
To stang - I agree that Dell's factory reset is the way to go and the way I have always done it.

To _n0p_ - maybe the problem with wifi can be narrowed down. I reverted back to 0.6b and pushed the dhd.ko and dhd_test.ko with adb. Wifi seems to be working right again. I'll keep you posted.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fernseher:
Hi everybody

Tried this great rom (0.61b) for a few hours. now I have a few questions:

1. I can only overclock to 1152. Is that the maximum?

2. What is the function of the portrait add-on? I can't see any difference! Or is it not working with 0.61b?

3. How do I get the battery percent to the symbol in the notification bar (as seen in the screenshots).

Thanks for your help.

Hi [MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION] , [MENTION=1695125]_n0p_[/MENTION] and everyone here,

How is the random reboot issue now? Has it resolved? I have tried Traveller DSC ROM 2.32 before, but I had some random reboot too, thus I went to install and tried other Custom ROMs. But now I have decided to try DSCv2.3. I have my DS5 ready with running stock 407, ready to install this ROM and give it a try. Hope to get some info before I go ahead. :D

EDITED/ADDED:

Question:

Should I use DSC_flashme3 or DSC_flashme2 if I am flashing to Stock ROM 407 ?

I have tried using flashme3 a few times and also using flashme2. In StreakMod when I try to install zip file, it state:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /sdcard

It is the same thing happens everytime I use StreakMod, I don't know why, but ever since I flash any Custom ROMs, Clockworkmod is the one that seem to work with my DS5, StreakMod has never able to flash any zip Custom ROM on my phone. Any comment?

While waiting, I have manage to install DSCv2.0 and it running now. On the process to update to v2.3 DSC 2.2 boot.img now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Razak RK:
Hmmmm, just notice, in CWM I got message whne wipe data/factory reset as follows:

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

My DS5 is running now, just have to test it over the days and see how it goes.

I am searching on these two failed messages, but so far, I found are same failures on other brand/models androids phones. Do anyone can comment or help on this? Thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ammujee:
Flash DSC 1.0 or 2.0 base release first.. then move on to 2.3
[Streak 5 Android Development] Razak RK:
Yes. I've followed as per the instructions in this thread, my DS5 can use/run with this ROM. The two failure messages I mention above are not related to this ROM. It's due to something else.
[Streak 5 Android Development] SuperKeeper:
I have the same message. I read somewhere it may be due to Apps2SD but I can't say that it's ever caused me an issue.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MaggiesStreak:
Google Drive compatible?

I'm using froyo 2.2 stock and thinking about taking the plunge into (the very scary) custom Rom territory.

Then, I wondered what the pay off would be. I love this streak. The only thing that bothers me is the apps I want not working with android 2.2.

Will DSC Rom run Google Drive?

Thanks for keeping these forums alive!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] contactsonia:
I have been using this ROM for almost 1 year. No issues at all.

Yes, Google Drive does work with DCS fine :)

Go for it... you will love even more to your Streak :highfive:

is my dell dying?

i was using my dell this evening as i always do and then things turned a bit slow.

long reaction times, so i restarted my phone.

during the bootanimation the phone freezed.

took the battery out and started the phone again.

again a freeze during the bootanimation.

after replacing the battery i tried to get into the streakmod, but the dell logo with the white triangle with the explanation mark came on.

after pushing some buttons i did came in the streakmod where i was able to do a wipe and dalvic wipe and after that a reboot.

no luck, again a. freeze during bootanimation.

after that i did a factory reset.

now the phone booted, but i have to start from scratch.

anyone an idea?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I don't think your Streak is dying. I do think a memory leak is causing the bulk of these issues, as my own spontaneous reboots and slowdowns have apparently stopped after installing a Tasker clone and running a "Fast Reboot" app whenever I switch to battery power.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Aaryana:
same happened to me when i did some silly under volting,

when processor decreased to around 500 mhz voltage was reduced considerably so fo e was not functional... i have to do a facttory reset

strange thing occurs; when i enable gps, the gps symbol appeare on the top of the screen.

but when i disable the gps the gps symbol stays on the top of the screen.

after a reboot its gone.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Razak RK:
The same thing happens to me on another ROM yesterday. I reboot, the issue still have when switch On and Off GPS. I clear Dalvik Cache + Fix Permission +.Cache, seems it fix it. But I've notice some lag issue, then I re-install the ROM, since re-install ROM without Factory Reset means that all my personal data like contact, account, etc, still around. But finally had to do full Factory reset since the issue could probably be caused by restoring apps+it's data.

Dell Streak | InnerSD 8GB | ExternalSD 32GB | Modified Custom ROM

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Similar issue happens to me quite some time ago when I first tried Custom ROM. My Dell Streak 5 freezed up somehow. At that point of time, I did NOT know that the BEST CORRECT WAY to handle freeze is to HOLD DOWN POWER BUTTON until the phone switched off, wait a few second, then push the power button again to restart the phone. Well...what I did wrong was I open the back and took out the battery. That really corrupted the Custom Recovery, rendering it almost useless. I had to fastboot flash again the Custom Recovery. Then I did a fresh install of the Custom ROM.

Sorry, I knew this post was in August, but I think it is worth mentionong on the correct method to restart a freeze phone. Of course, if holding down power button until off doesn't work, then of course, last resort have to remove battery. :D

It seems that the link with DSC_flashme2 file from the original post is not working anymore, I believe is too old. I need that file for a Dell Streak which has a 406 baseband but is not working in streakmode recovery so I can't use that option of uploading zip from sd card because I don't have it in the menu. From where can I get that file? Thank you for your time reading this message.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=8689355]verclauuu[/MENTION]: Check the Traveller DSC thread. I sorta took over for _n0p_ when he switched devices and should have working tools for you along with a more recent version of this ROM. As to Streakmod, your copy may need to be updated. I provide the final update of it in my Multiflasher utility along with copies of all the relevant basebands. Search UKSheep's Baseband Flasher thread and you'll find a link to Multiflasher.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Hi!

1. Yes. I found it to be the safe maximum.

2. What is your clock orientation on lock screen?

3. Sorry, screenshots are very outdated. We've decided to remove percent indicator from low-dpi, as they are hardly readable, but I've added battery percent to lockscreen.

GPS problem

Hi, i have problem with my GPS with all navigation programs with both v06b and 061b Roms.

All programs starts normally and GPS-icon appear to status bar and start to search satellites, but suddenly GPS-icon disappears from status bar and programs says "no gps".

Programs i use is Maps, Navigon and NDrive.

I have done factory reset, but that was no solution to this problem.

Booting device helps sometimes!

Otherwise this is great rom, than's for this :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Have you tried GPS Status free app to see what's happening with your GPS?

It seems like sometimes your device cannot stick to sattelites, so it disables gps after timeout.

Actually, there's no many changes between 0.53b and 0.61b - only new hack in kernel and rebuilt wifi drivers are significant.

GPS Status free app do the same thing it find and lock satellites but after that GPS disappears.

Now i have installed GpsFix free app from market (Android Labs) and after running that program GPS seems to work right and also stay on.

I will test more and inform after that.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
This makes me think that for some reason system thinks that gps is not active and powers down the chip. We might want to give a shot into analyzing log for gps-related messages.

Factory reset simply wipes data/cache/firstboot, it's not a one-solution-fits-all.

atilla.m informs that rebuit wifi drivers don't solve his problem, so this should be investigated further.
[Streak 5 Android Development] uglyrooster:
After two more days of testing:

- WiFi problem is NOT solved. It seems to be much better, but due to the kind of problem even this is not 100% proven. I am back on WiFi re-associate

- SOD is back and was 100% solved before. I have still no explanation for that and check with nandroid backup if there are other things having influence on that
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Thank you!

To be 100% sure, i'd like to ask you to try using kernel from 0.53b release.

dhd.ko modules would also cause the problem (only a slight chance, but anyway).

I plan also to give a try to Gkernel, as it has rtc issue resolved.

Regarding my issue with flash I had with certain sites there is no fix atm with 0.6 . Fyi gkernel 1.3 governor conservative is good speed and stability .

0.51b is the Rom that works 100% for me.
