Hey I just installed 2.4.4 and it works great! I have 2 minor problem, 1st in my sms when i receive a message from anybody it automatically goes to top because it has -5h than the time i've sent one. 2nd my firefox is in symbols...

for my first prob i have change the time zone and set it manually and for firefox i've unistalled and reinstalled from market, same problem.

other than that, good rom!

** also, is there anyway to have to home screen rotate or was it a feature un dell stage? thanks!

gaming performance is worse than stock??

Tintin HD lags like hell on this rom whereas stock was fine..

I thought I would see an improvement...

BIG Thanks To Fards and Steve For The Hardwork...

Shame Fards has moved on...

I used the old email.apk version workaround 4 days ago and haven't had a single reboot or FC since.
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
OK, white screen issue still exists, I'll wait until issue is resolved further down the line, I need stability in my phone for work (people tend to get annoyed when they try and call and your phone has rebooted itself!). It is great work though, and I look forward to seeing further development on it, but I need my phone and camera functioning properly.

Mad props to everyone for their help though!
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Just a quick report after a few weeks of use:

This is easily the most stable ROM I've had on my Streak so far. I installed without an install.txt file with no issues at all. Did a DELL Recovery factory reset on installing 2.4.3 then a week or two later put this over the top, cleared cache from Streakmod Recovery and cleared Dalvik cache as well.

I THINK i've sorted the initally "wappy" battery meter by running it flat to the point where it wouldn't boot, connecting the charger, booting up and deleting battery stats. That seems to have sorted out the dropping from around 30 or 40% straight to 1% for now. Deleting batterystats from 100% didn't make any difference - tried that first.

I've JUST started running Quarantine and Autokiller and have removed Advanced Task Killer. tbh I've not had a single reboot since installing 2.4.4 but I like the way Autokiller works.

My preference for a launcher is VTL Launcher and again it works just great. I'm also running SetCPU on lagfree, 576/1113. I can't help wondering if a lot of stability issues are from governor settings. This was the biggest difference to stability out of everything I tried - 576 min made the biggest improvement combined with the lagfree setting.

I wish it had USB hosting but can live without it. I gave up trying Gameloft games on Steve's ROMs - they just don't run well on them. My FPse playstation emulator is running very well indeed on this build though.

I dont' use the email app either, mainly cos it's terrible. Maildroid is my current preference, as K9 (which I used to really like) kept force closing on me when I tried to compose a new email.

I don't know if it makes any difference but I run the launcher home screen fixed to landscape but let apps rotate with the sensor. Works for me, anyway!

Err what else....I use Thumb Keyboard, which seems to be the best screen keyboard (they're all pretty awful though).

Can't think of anything else "special" I might have done. It just works in this configuration. One other thing I guess - I changed the internal SD card for a 4gb class 10 recently and was unable to use the original one for anything else. Whether that has ANY issue on stability I don't know.

I'm just posting all this up in case it gives anyone a few pointers or things to try. I genuinely haven't had a single reboot on 2.4.4 yet. My ONE gripe with the Streak is the one I've had since day one - call quality in marginal signal areas is atrocious, making everything sound like a stuttering Dalek. Annoys the hell out of me! :mad:

Oh yeah one more thing - 3G/H HAMMERS the battery. Use the "network settings" to turn it off when not needed.....
[Streak 5 Android Development] L22EEW:
Is there anyway that this clock can be hidden from the notification bar?

This is my first successful ROM flash/upgrade, and i'm simply loving the speed of it!

EDIT: This ROM has been installed for about 2 hours, already had 2 random reboots. On each reboot icons from the home screen have just vanished. I've had to re-add them! Bit strange...

EDIT #2: Last night after unlocking the screen... ALL my widgets had "can't load widget" within a white box. SO again had to manually re-add the widgets to my homescreen (there were only 3). Have had quite a few problems with this ROM now.

EDIT #3: On waking my Dell (well trying to anyway) the Dell has been DEAD. Have had to pull the battery in order to get the Dell to turn back on. This has happened TWICE in a space of less than 12 hours since installing this ROM. Not looking very good so far, less than 24 hours and have encountered numerous problems.

Last EDIT: Reverted back to Stock 2.2.2, phone just kept turning off by itself. Was dead as a doornail, had to pull battery numerous time. Shame!

i found this rom to be really disappointing

wifi is not working properly

gps is not working properly

phone would freeze when playing music

and a lot more issues making this rom basically unusable.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mrfr0sty:
Everything works perfectly for me :) stable, excellent battery life. Awesome work bro!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I am willing to lay odds that you are running a non-standard density on your Streak. The Kindle App worked for me, but I didn't touch the density settings when I installed this ROM.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bayton:
I put up with it as long as I could but have finally reverted to 351.

The reboots, death sleeps, dead GPS, and corruption of 60% of SD card data completely put me off this ROM.

Maybe ICS will fare better.

One of the most stable rom I ve ever used. But having some issues with non responsive touch screen, could be non rom related issues as I ve faced the same issues with previous rom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] scuzzo7:
For touch screen issues you could try breathing on it, that works for me. Breathing on it puts a small layer of humidity on the screen, discharging any static electricity. Or at least thats what i think happens. anyway, thats what always fixes it for me.

Btw,

I'm running a pretty old version of steve's streakdroid, not 2.4 in any case, dont even know.. I was wondering if it was worth the wait for ICS or should i just upgrade to this one?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bayton:
Yes, it was.

I've been having random reboots and odd problems here and there with this ROM. I've literally done everything to try and fix it, to no avail. Finally yesterday I did a master reset via Clockwork, reflashed the re-downloaded files and then the 2.4.4 ROM again... then did a master reset via the Dell recovery. I didn't use Titanium to recover any data... just re-downloaded a couple of essential apps from the Market.

But still.... I'm getting random reboots... I had about 6-8 yesterday evening alone. That's just unacceptable. I'm going to try another ROM based on stock... or go back to 1.9.

I thought possibly, it could be an app... so thought I'd list the ones I have and see if anyone else having random reboots has the same apps.... post up if there's something common.

AdFree / ADW EX / Backgrounds / Battery Life widget / Barcode Scanner / Call Filter / Dolphin HD / Engadget / Facebook / Handcent / QuickPic / Radar Now / Root Explorer / StreakLED / System Panel / WordFued / Zedge

GS 2.4.4 finally stable !!

Thanks Triondave for your post #194: "I'm also running SetCPU on lagfree, 576/1113. I can't help wondering if a lot of stability issues are from governor settings. This was the biggest difference to stability out of everything I tried - 576 min made the biggest improvement combined with the lagfree setting."

I was using setCPU settings of 245/998 with on-demand governor and I was getting one SOD every day and multiple random reboots.

Changed my setCPU setting to 576/1113 with lagfree governor and guess what.. No more random reboots or SOD !!! even the battery life is awesome 73% after 15 hours of moderate use.
[Streak 5 Android Development] eSZee:
If your name is Rom, then I agree.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bayton:
Funnily enough, I've not had a single problem since going back to 351.

Flashed 2.4.4 twice and had problems twice. The ROM is at fault.

Stop being a twat and deal with it.

I had this problem right after I installed chainfire, my screen turned white in the camera app and barcode scanner, I uninstalled it and still had a problem, so I had to do a recovery. After that it was back to good.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

This rom is stable it just needs some tweeks and patience.

First I installed this just like it said and everything was great... for a few days, than random reboots started. I almost gave up, but I did a few things

1. I re installed everything all over again. wiping and factory resetting every time

2. I did this three times, each time wiping everything I could from streakmod & dell factory reset. and reflashing BASEBAND AND DSP1 IMAGES each time!!!

3. I deleted the android folder on the sd card & all data folders that I could without removing my pics and music

4. after the third install it was as bone stock as it could get, I used fasterfix for gps, made "incoming call +" a system app & also "go contacts". Making them a system app makes the call replacement work with 2.3 and it lets you clear missed calls with go dialer just by clicking on it. Also extended controls so I could turn off the lock screen, It will do this as a normal app, but as a system app its harder for android to kill it so I never have to mess with the lock screen anymore.

5. the battery problem, like everyone says with the 20% to 1 and back to 20%, all I do is let run down till it dies and charge to full and no more problems. If you restore from a back up you will need to do this again!

6. white screen in the camera , I did not get this problem until I installed chainfire, it messed it up and thankfully I did a nandroid before so I was able to revert back.

7. I did flash a theme http://xdaforums.com.ar/showthread.php?t=1334721 and its one of the best I have ever used It just looks great. But after it was up and running and I made a backup.

The only small problem I have now, well 2 problems is every now and then when installing an app or two from the market it will restart, Its not to big of a deal and its not every time. I can live with that.

And something I cant get working again is AUDIBLE SELECTION SOUND for the screen clicks(not the dialer click sound). It worked the first boot and never again no matter what I do. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know(message me), I do miss that.

I have an AWS streak on tmobile, And I have NEVER been able to over clock with ANY rom, but I have always had setcpu installed for screen off profiles. I found it runs much better without it. I know I have read before some streaks can not be overclocked, guess mines one of them.

Other than that Battery is the best I have ever had, everything is smooth, and Im happy with my streak again.

I think if you want this rom to work You NEED to start fresh. And re install every thing the hard way. No nandroid data restore or titanium!!

And as always I use TasKiller with auto kill when screen off. And just ignore gmail,messaging,market,adfree.........it really helps.

THANKS AGAIN FOR AN AWESOME ROM!!

I was using ES task manager to kill apps before turning the screen off, but this Taskiller does it automatically. By doing so, the battery life extends very much.

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
woohoo! Glad it worked for you! Further update on mine - STILL not a single reboot or SOD. Can be a little reluctant to wake up but I think it's a power button issue - it does come to life but can take a couple of presses...

If I had one "bug" to report it's that dropping the data connection due to weak signal can sometimes result in it not reconnecting. Switching to airplane mode then back usually fixes.

Pleased I could help someone anyway :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Agent5150:
Yep.. woohoo is what I said when SOD stopped.

Everything is working great. Except one minor issue, happened last night. Battery went from 41% to 1% in span of 3 minutes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bizzach:
I deleted Widgetsoid , Screen Off and Lock, No Lock, and Dolphin HD last night and the reboots have become less frequent. I'd been running SetCPU at 245/998/ondemand. After seeing those posts up there, I'm trying the 576/1113 on lagfree... will report back if it works for me! *fingers crossed*
[Streak 5 Android Development] davey818:
aside from a few random reboots every now and then i have only one issue, the damn data will perodicially disconnect and i have to enable and disable airplane mode to get it back, sometimes it will continuously happend sometimes it wont happend at all, but boy does it bug the **** out of me, i think i may have to go back to 1.9 for now, its so frustrating, but it sucks at the same time cuz the battery life in this rom is TONS better better then 1.9, tough choice

anyone find a work around for the data connection dropping?
[Streak 5 Android Development] besweeet:
Was getting bored of stock 2.2, so I decided to give this a try. Installation went without a hitch. The actual BIOS screen was pretty cool. I forgot to do a factory reset, but I was able to get into Android, but Phone would keep on crashing. Did a factory reset, reinstalled GingerStreak, and it all works fine.

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Update: Everything is crashing. I can't get into the setup assistant. Any ideas?
[Streak 5 Android Development] slaydog:
Had the same power button issue. It just gets worse...

Just got a replacement Streak from Dell.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
My battery meter was doing the "drop from 40ish% to 1%" thing too. The best i've managed to do with it was to let it go utterly flat (leave it at 1% til it shuts down, reboot a few times til it doesn't like it). Then I connected the charger, booted up and deleted batterystats.bin Think I did it twice.

Now it gets down to around 15% before dropping to 1%, which I can just about live with :)

I still use Dolphin HD (@Bizzach). No issues with that.

The power button has been like that on mine pretty much since I got it 18 or so months ago. Didn't realise it was hardware related til recently though. As long as it lasts til July I can put up with it... :)

data: Seems to drop and stay dropped if the signal strength drops off on mine. I set the scheduler to keep it always on and that seems to at least have sorted the random "invisible" data switch offs. I don't think it worked for you though did it davey?

I can also recommend Elixr2 as an alternative to Widgetsoid.

It's been a long time coming but I think I'm finally happy with my Streak. If only the calls didn't go all "stuttery dalek" on me in weak signal areas it'd be just about perfect!

EDIT - bah: battery meter screwy again - from 40% to 1% just like that.

Another thing I meant to mention - 1113 max is just for my CPU. They're not all "equal" and some can go higher.....
[Streak 5 Android Development] Alexanderbooth:
Hello fellow streakers, so today on my day off I decided to take the plunge and install a custom rom. Read the whole thread and others concerning flasshing streak mod and such. Downloaded all the files and proceeded with installation :-D everything seems to be running well just reinstalling all my apps and data with titanium backup. I'm really pleased with how its all went, being a total newbie I've been put off doing it for so long incase I broke my phone, but seeing i'm getting a galaxy note after christmas I thought what the **** if it breaks I'll just upgrade early.

First thoughts are how ****ing amazingly smooth the thing runs? I honestly thought it was amazing before now its like obscenely good, would just like to give a massive thanks to this DJ_steve guy he must be an amazing person to do all this work off his own back :-D

Very happy streak owner right now!
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
Gaaah I knew I shouldn't have said anything! :)

Data has gone utterly to pot. Can't tell if it's O2 or the phone but it keeps timing out. I've switched APN settings to see if that helps but no difference.

So, went for a Dalvik Cache wipe to see if that helped and, bizzarely, the battery meter has also reset - ie it was showing 40% and rebooted showing 6%! I didn't TOUCH the batterystats in streakmod recovery or do anything to the file on the phone?

ANNND data has just dropped again after 2 mins. FFS.......
[Streak 5 Android Development] Bizzach:
I've posted a few times here over the last few days.... going through my own personal hell with the Streak rebooting randomly. I've done everything I can think of, which has included uninstalling any app which is running all the time (and even most that aren't as well). That still didn't fix the reboots.

I can't stand it... to receive a text and look down to read it and - BAM! - it's rebooting. Oh, and also today, I'm not receiving texts. I can send just fine, but none are coming through (though calls and data work just fine, WTF).

So I'm done. I need a phone that works. I'm going to try out a couple of other ROMs from here tomorrow... if none of them look or work well, I'm going back to StreakDroid 1.9 (the last stable version). I'll deal with the poor battery life....

*sigh*
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
I think it may be time to try an alternative ROM.

Data does seem to be an O2 issue though. It's fine at home but 2g won't connect at work. I can get 3g but it's flaky.

My biggest gripe is the battery meter. No amount of pulling the battery, charging or deleting battery stats will make it accurate. It's just gone from 40% to 1% again. 7 1/2 hrs since unplugging. Standby overnight and screen on most of the time since 8:30.

Are all the GB ROMs the same or are there any where it works properly?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dr Nicky:
Battery Issues

WTF. My battery has just gone from 31 to 17% then five minutes latter the phone powered down indicating 0%

What is going on?

Is this ROM still being developed or do I need to look for another ROM?

I suppose it's Steve's lack of communication on the matter. As well as Fards... where did they go?!

I went to Simple Streak 1.3 this morning -- it's now been about 14 hours with NO RANDOM REBOOTS! :) That ROM is smooth, and I haven't experienced any problems other than one time losing my data (which Airplane mode then back to normal fixed).

I hit the power button to turn it on now, and it actually comes on the first time! When hitting it to turn off the screen, it doesn't take 3-4 tries anymore like it did on StreakDroid. And so far, battery life is just as good as it was on Steve's. There are so many problems I was having, which have all been fixed now by switching ROMs.

I have been a user of DJ Steve's ROMs since his very first... I was loyal, until the phone became unusable. There are other - stable! - ROMs out there now, if you're having problems with this one...

I just flashed to the latest version since I haven't messed around with my streak in months. After doing a factory reset and flashing to 2.4.4, I can't seem to open the dialer through the homescreen. It will say it's not installed? I can go from the application menu to phone and it works fine. Any solution?
[Streak 5 Android Development] bluefrog:
It's an issue with this build apparently, Something to do with Stagefright?

It doesn't affect me though cos I use Elixr2 Widgets. You get a missed calls count AND a shortcut to the dialer in the one icon, which I like. I've an SMS one next to it.

I don't like the notification bar though, and have set up as much as possible to run without it.

Anyone know why I'm getting such massive battery drainage on this rom? I was getting 2 days easily before on stock froyo, now i can barely get 10 hours out of the thing, its not overclocked and running same apps as before. Same usage, well to be honest I'm using it less for fear it'll run out?

On battery status, its says 25% android system, where as before it was hardly more than 5%, it was always screen phone, idle and mobile standbye the most. Is it not going into standbye properly when the screen is off?

Use autostarts from the market. Disable all the apps that start after bootup. This will drastically improve battery life.
