Market and calender force close on boot and do not work fresh install followed instructions word for word

is this rom still in development ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] AkumaMax:
I don't think it is. I do not have any force closes.

On a Side note:

I do have a question for the DEV I installed the rom and used the install.txt and had ADW in it for some reason it would boot but would stick on ANDROID screen. Is there a problem with ADWlauncher?
[Streak 5 Android Development] nitin1978:
No updates from DJ Steave.......seem to be busy on other devices
[Streak 5 Android Development] webwolf_3000:
I use ADW Launcher with no issues :)

The only problem with this ROM that has been reported by several people, is sometimes when installing from the market the phone soft reboots. everything else is stable, any issues... try again from scratch and make sure everything including the SD card is formatted.
[Streak 5 Android Development] AkumaMax:
Ha Formatted. What a Rookie Mistake!

Hopefully that will do the trick. If not I will try the install from market.
[Streak 5 Android Development] erhangulsum:
i am just getting force closing for all applications.

i did everything, also flashed files, factory reset, wipe dalvik cache etc.

i see lock screen as normal but when i unlock it i just see force close messages, and never stop!

any idea?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Sounds like you have a corrupt zip fil or an inner sd issue not wanting to let it be flashed correctly
[Streak 5 Android Development] erhangulsum:
no, i did eveything good.

but just one mistake, i had to factory reset with dell's stock recovery, not with streakrecovery...

after factory reset with stock recovery eveything works perfect for now.

thanks...
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
You should have been doing that anyway...

Ok I have installed StreakDroid GingerStreak 2.4.4 and it worked fine

but I reset my screen DPI (to 240) because the MARKET wasnt letting me update my appz and that change fixed the market update problem.

but then when I did a cold start up of my Streak 5 the lockscreen number keypad was to large (because of the 240 DPI size) and so I couldnt put in my 4 digit security code, so I posted this problem in the forums here at XDA but nobody knew of a solution to get my DPI resized back to 180, because it couldnt be done by going through the front door to the OS, because the lockscreen was blocking access to the OS itself,

I asked if it could be reset somehow in one of the boot modes, but I got no usable advice

SO I did a re-install of the ROM StreakDroid GingerStreak 2.4.4

on a clean SD card and it installed fine,

now the lockscreen was set back to 180 dpi and I could insert my security code

but after doing this lockscreen code all I'm getting is SORRY! (popup screens) one after the other, and they never stop.. So I cannot get into the main ROM or OS again

--- example (popup screen):

!sorry!

The application setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

Force close (button)

---

So I press the Force Close button and then the next popup comes up and they never stop, these popups

---

I did a re-install of this ROM 3 times, andd it installed fine everytime

but its always the same constant popup screens that keep occurring after the lockscreen login and it will never let me get past these popup screens and into the ROM itself to make any changes

Ive tried rebooting, numerous times

Ive tried installing this ROM using different options like (noapps)

Im out of ideas... any ideas or advice peeps??

I could make a youtube video of the complete process if it will help somebody with advice

thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] nguyns:
Thank you for your working. Your ROM's very fast and I kile a lot. I think you should change boot screen file because "ANDROID" word unspecialized and very normal. Thanks for spending time to read my feedback.
[Streak 5 Android Development] webwolf_3000:
I had that problem the first time I flashed the rom, it was just because I hadn't cleared the dalvic cache after installing the rom. try that first, and post your results.

if that doesn't work, you'll need to start from scratch, format the memory card, reflash the DSP files, and also the recovery file. make sure you clear dalvic cache after flash and before booting into the ROM.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MiK31291:
hi, ive tried flashing this ROM about 6 times now from rooted 2.2.

everytime S.D 2.4.4 boots up and i unlock the device, im flooded with FC's! :O

i followed all the correct procedures to install everything correctly [install.txt etc.] but it still gets flooded with FC's :(

how can i sort this out?

EDIT: start from scratch, format the memory card, reflash the DSP files, and also the recovery file. make sure you clear dalvic cache after flash and before booting into the ROM.

This didnt work for me either :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
You must do FACTORY RESET after install
[Streak 5 Android Development] MiK31291:
I have done this too. No luck. Still flooded with FC's :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
only other two things that come to mind are you have an innerSD card starting to give you troubles and not accepting a good flash OR you are getting a corrupt file download
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Are you doing factory reset from the standard recovery screen or from streakmod / clockwork mod?

It must be done from the Dell recovery or it won't work. HTH!

I've been using 2.4.4 for ages now and it's pretty good and very stable. Hope you can get it working!
[Streak 5 Android Development] webwolf_3000:
Back to the beginning...

Make sure you're flashing the correct stock recovery file first, then:

I'd try flashing the stock rom and see how that works, if that also fails then it's likely a hardware issue.

If the stock rom works, then make sure you download a fresh copy of everything else, flash everything from scratch including the DSP files, also make sure your SD card is formatted before copying across needed files.

If the stock rom doesn't work... could be an issue with your SD card either internal or removable, try replacing the removable one first and installing the stock rom again, failing that you might want to try claiming on the warranty before attempting to replace the internal SD Card.

Good luck! As always, let us know how you get on :)

what size best dpi for streak 5?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radimus:
That is up to your eyes, but you'll find less issues if you stick with the default of 160

Clock and Pop-up Message

Installed the new rom yesterday and though its okay thus far, I've discovered 2 issues.

If you put your phone in Airplane Mode, clocking is way off. My alarm is set for 6am, but the phone was showing 4:35am.

When i get email or sms, I get a full screen pop-up that says "SMS or Gmail Received!".

Thanks in advance for the help.

I installed this Streak ROM about a week ago. Everything works great - with one exception.

My bluetooth headset, a Motorola S-10 hd, pairs fine. The media connection even works fine. I can listen to music great. Only thing not working is voice calls over this headset. I cannot make or receive calls. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get this working?
[Streak 5 Android Development] vanemburghj:
Yes, this is release candidate, so not everything will work, recommend you move over to DSC right now .73 but new releases soon, or CM7 (but battery hog) or MIUI (another battery hog).
[Streak 5 Android Development] ricky.derek:
how do i flash the AMSS and DSP1 using fastboot, i have kinda screwed up my dell 4 times earlier...dont wanna do it again...i flashed the rom without flashing these two files....and my led's keep blinking all the time....i know thats an indication of something going wrong...please help me out with the fast boot, and how to flash these basebands on my dell streak

DJ_Steve refers to this as a stable release on page 1 - not a release candidate. I may try out the DSC ROM soon. Thanks for the input.
[Streak 5 Android Development] webwolf_3000:
CM7 isn't compatable with the streak, DJ Steve is working on a version with the dev's of CM, but it's in the alpha stage, CM7 will brick your device...

this is a stable release, not an RC, I've been using it for a while (over a month) and had no issues, don't expect everything peripherals to work perfectly because the dev's don't have the time or money to buy, test and debug every peripheral on the market. if you want that kind of stability then I'd stick with the stock roms.

Nothing wrong with trying new roms, but make sure they're compatable first :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ricky.derek:
Hey vane, thanks for ur help...i found a flasher for amss and dsp1 files but the thing is how do i confirm that these files were flashed on my phone, i put the phone into fastboot and flashed both these files, i flashed the ginger streak 2.4.4 after that works like a breeze i still have a couple of issues though

Firstly: the led's keep blinking, i read somewhere that its a diagnostic issue and something is wrong with my streak

Secondly: the music player cant find all the files on my memory card , i tried a couple of players the result being the same

Thirdly: it goes to sleep when im on a call, and i have to reset it and remove my battery and put it back.

please help me out... :)

Thanks ... :)

Recommend you move to more update ROM like DSC and follow the install/flash instructions. Swear you are having problems with amss ans dsp1 and hopefully when you move to another ROM and reflash them it fixes your issues.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Flashing LEDs is the wrong baseband, usually. Go to Settings / About Phone and all the details are listed there.

I've been using 2.4.4 for quite a long time now, only with GX Kernel 1.0

My current baseband is 405, but I may have a play with 406 to see if it's any different.

The ONLY issue I seem to have with it is battery life ain't brilliant, although that could also be due to the battery being nearly two years old and very heavily used.

Another reason I like this setup is I've just discovered that Chainfire's DSLR Controller app WORKS with it!!! :D

PS Try Mortplayer for a music player - it's really good and I use it in the car a lot, via my bluetooth head unit.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vanemburghj:
THERE IS A WORKING VERSION OF CM7, hpa used DSC kernel to make compatable with Streak 5. Read the forums before you make uniformed statements. When finally get around to reading the forums you see there working verison of MIUI as well, I don't use them as battery life is the pits. The second battery life is patched will use MIUI.
[Streak 5 Android Development] webwolf_3000:
umm, I'm not reading the entire forum before I ever post a reply, I know there's a MIUI version that works, but frankly that has nothing to do with anything...

Is it called CM7, because I don't see anything on the forums for that, if it's not called CM7 then telling people to download and flash CM7 will only cause them to goto the official CM7 release page and try and flash an incompatible version.

Back up your statements with links :)

By the way just went to cm7 for dell streak 5 and verified download link is still active. So if I can find so can you.

Searching and reading prevents waste inquires like yours. If you read my previous and this post might have additional seach term in it you can use.
[Streak 5 Android Development] abauer:
Funny

It is funny how people that use custom ROMs are still stuck in old and undeveloped ROM like this one here (at least 6 months behind), in the meantime DSC is going to its final release status, which offers more than the stock 407 in terms of features, stability and performance, other devices are blossoming with ICS custom ROMs thou :mad:

They arnt allowed opinions/choices? They all must use the latest thing just because it's the latest thing?
[Streak 5 Android Development] abauer:
Of course , world if full of choices.

If you had chance to have latest car for free , with better millage , better leather interiors, better airco etc , dont tell me you wouldn't swap your old Chevy just coz its old , as ROMs dont have any collectible value and in the mobile world 6 months are approximately 20 years in earth time.

Respekt

My family used to have an old 91 corolla, i'd still like to drive it if we still had it because it's like shoes. Wear them long enough and they become very comfortable fitting.

I'd much prefer our old corolla to our current car because it was much more comfortable to drive. Sure it had worse mileage, no electric anything and cloth seats. But no contest the old car was much more comfortable to drive.
[Streak 5 Android Development] abauer:
I forgot to mention , the free and latest car is more comfortable to drive too, lol:p:p:p

This is my last post in this thread , as it seems i am reviving it unintentionally while this one should be buried deep in the nothingness of past time.

What's funny is people thinking they know what someone else needs from a ROM :rolleyes:

Back on topic (ish), there's no reason I can see to change from 2.4.4 as I have about three months to go before it's upgrade time.

I've had the Streak nearly two years, it's been a very good device indeed and this ROM has been the best one I've used on it, with the addition of the GX Kernel. I'm sure there are "better" ones now but I don't need the hassle of changing, resetting etc when what I've got is doing the job just fine.

I did look at some of the others, in case there was one that might get DSLR Controller working on the Streak. Then I discovered by accident that it works on this ROM and that's it. I'm sorted till the next device (possibly an Asus Padfone).
[Streak 5 Android Development] webwolf_3000:
yea, the stock rom was alright on the streak IMO, but since Dell ditched it, this ROM provided the the gingerbread update that the streak was never going to get, and I think gingerbread would have been the last update before the streak 2 was released anyway.

I would've definitely invested in a Streak 2 :)

Haven't messed with kernels, only issue I have with this ROM is the occasional fast reboot from installing market apps, but I just tell it to update at night when I'm not using the phone so it doesn't cause an issue.

I so want another 5" Android after this, couldn't go back to a smaller screen now, wouldn't want to go larger either though *ahem* samsung note... 5.3 or whatever it is, no need for the extra .3 is there really, 5" is plenty big enough.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
tbh I can't remember why I changed Kernels. I know there was SOMETHING it improved on but can't for the life of me think what it was! Anyway it works well so that's what matters :)

The only thing that does annoy me a bit is the random battery meter. Today it's dropped off to 1% but pulling the battery brings it back to 50%! I'm a heavy user of the device though and it seems to mainly happen when the screen is on all the time. It'll stay on 1% for ages before powering off....

I've had the "unexpected reboot" after updating from the Marketplace too, but it doesn't always happen. Odd but not a killer.

Apart from that, everything I put on it app-wise works well, and SetCpu (currently at 384/1152 ondemand) does the job for that bit of extra "zip". I use it mainly in Landscape mode, with VTL Launcher. Elixr2 Widgets are a great addition too, for toggling bluetooth, launching the phone app and other system type stuff.

A mate of mine is considering the Note (I am too tbh - it's not actually bigger really, the screen just takes up more of the device). I'm very much into "one device does it all" so something that progresses from the Streak (which does about 80% of what I want) is the aim. The Padfone might just tick all the boxes if it works as advertised.

Dell really missed a trick with this device - no marketing and no realisation of what it was capable of. Muppets.

Agreed that this is probably as far as the Streak 1 could be taken and they've now lost out on doing a Streak 2 cos they were too short sighted and other people have jumped in now (ie Samsung).
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Ooh. Battery sorted too now, thanks to battery calibration app from the Marketpkace. That's it - I'm good for the rest of my Streak ownership :)

Call issue

First of all I want to thank for this Rom ,it's a great release.The issues that I found so far are:

1.On the dell stage launcher there is an error when I tap the phone icon on dockbar.Error said:application not installed,though the phone app inside app drawer works.The internet and drawer shortcut from dock work.I changed to zeam launcher and all is working.

2.I noticed a delay when answering calls.Can you confirm this or the elves inside my head are messing up my hearing?I know about the issue as I had an LG optimus which upon the official update on GB had same issue.On Froyo all was ok without delay when answering calls.The LG was from the begining on Froyo then updated,the story is similar to Dell's.If indeed there are call delay issues how can they be solved,different kernel?

I must mention that both I and the other person had full signal,nothing running.

Thanks in advance for your help,
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
Dell Streak is the best device ever.When you install the latest ROM's such as DSC,MIUI,CM7 for Streak you will discover that.

They all work perfect,stable and issueless on Streak.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Hi,

Issue 1 was one of the known problems with this ROM - don't think it was ever fixed as Steve HATES Dell Stage anyway :) I much prefer VTL myself.

Issue 2 I'm not sure on. I don't have any delay that I'm aware of when I take a call. How long is it, roughly?
[Streak 5 Android Development] BUTCHER0123:
Call delay

The delay is about 3secs.I received a phone from a different carrier than mine ,this is when I noticed.Try the same and see if you have the issue.If not then it has to do with the signal,here.

Why do you prefer VTL launcher?It's better in terms of batt consumption and speed,than Zeam?

Thanks for your feedback,
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
I think the call answer delay might be a GB build issue rather than a Streak ROM issue from what I've read (I've never noticed an issue so don't know much about it). Maybe the GXKernel I'm using doesn't suffer from it?

VTL Launcher I just seem to get on with. I use the Streak in Landscape mode for almost everything and set up VTL's dock bars with the icons for apps I use most. Maybe there are better launchers, but again it's a "it works for me" situation so I've not bothered looking elsewhere! Zeam does seem to get a few mentions though...

I'm not sure you can get it from that link, looks like it's cooked into a ROM?

I have the zip on my 'puter. If you PM me could email it you if that's any good. Don't think it breaks any rules here as it's open source type stuff.

Might be worth having the original Kernel to go back to if you don't like it of course.....

I just install set cpu upon the flash of the kernel.It's on autodetect .On min I managed to put 384.On max I can set it to 584 max value and can be lowered to 384,lower than that it will jump back to 384.What does this value represents?I 'll have the proc on 1584 Mhz?

[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Is that SetCPU as per "cooked into the ROM" version?

I think you need the latest one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419

I'm running mine at 384 min / 1152 max. I believe 1190 is the highest you can go with this ROM, although mine doesn't like it hence my settings. It needs Superuser permissions too.

HTH!

I've attached my current build.prop as well - added a few things from other ROM threads. Do they make any difference? Dunno really but it doesn't crash so it can't be too bad!

btw Just in case you're not aware, you need to run "Clock Sync" with this ROM too (from the Marketplace)
[Streak 5 Android Development] BUTCHER0123:

[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Hi,

Had a bit of an issue today - ran the battery so flat it's done a factory reset on me and i've lost all my apps and widgets!

I've just reinstalled SetCpu and it turns out i DID purchase it. I just installed, opened and allowed superuser permissions and there it was working.

try uninstalling it, make sure superuser is full updated and then reinstall? See how it goes.....
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Update:

Well, seeing as EVERYTHING was gone (unrequested factory reset!) I've abandoned 2.4.4 for the time being and am giving DSC 1.0 a bash. My "no reason to change" was somewhat removed due to having to start over again!

Seems OK so far.
