[Streak 5 Android Development] dbozam:
Problems Encountered with this ROM

EDITED TO INCLUDE INFORMATION FROM LATEST INSTALL (VERSION 2.2v4)

Great ROM... except for the following problems:

1. I have tried 'NoLock', 'AnyUnlock', 'Wake All' from the market and none of them will let me use the volume keys to unlock the phone. I hate having to use the power button only.

SOLUTION: find /system/usr/keylayout/surf_keypad.kl and edit it to add "WAKE_DROPPED" after the lines: "key 115 VOLUME_UP" and "key 114 VOLUME_DOWN" so that they read: "key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE_DROPPED" and "key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE_DROPPED"

I had to copy the file to my SD card using a root explorer, copy the file to my computer and edit it, then plug my phone to my computer via usb and make sure USB DEBUGGING is enabled. Then I used "adb remount" and "adb push surf_keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/surf_keypad.kl" and then restart my phone.... worked like a charm. No other method worked for me to get the existing file overwritten with the new "WAKE_DROPPED" tags added.

[MOOT] 2. Theme issues.

Battery indicator did not use any numerals... very low-tech and requiring android users to install a 3rd party widget just to know how much battery life is left... eh.

Also... light blue background and light grey text on system messages and in-app messages is annoying... they're highly illegible.

SOLUTION: use the latest 2.2v4 longhorn OR use zip file from this thread to get numerals on my battery indicator and fixed theme being illegible

[MOOT] 3. Gallery does not work. I haven't put in the time to wait to see if it would ever eventually load... but it certainly doesn't load like it ought to (in any reasonable amount of time) and I suspect it never will. I use quickpic instead.

SOLUTION: UPDATE to the latest 2.2v4 longhorn release... it is solved.

[MOOT] 4. After removing Ice Cream Sandwich launcher and Launcher pro, the phone no longer supports live wallpapers. They do not show up in the options for wallpapers and live wallpapers that are installed prompt a message saying "live wallpapers are not supported on your device". (I removed these launchers in favor of Go Launcher... which has been running perfectly smoothly... just a few minor bugs I solved with some tweaking of home screens, widgets, etc)

SOLUTION: use the latest 2.2v4 longhorn release... it is solved

5. Skype video works fine... but trying to use bluetooth for skype calls not only fails... but also breaks normal blue-tooth phone calls until reboot.

I tried to use skype video calls via bluetooth and the bluetooth works for a moment and then says "no headset connected' or something like that. After that, bluetooth fails through regular cell network phone calls also... I hear nothing but white noise out of two different headsets. BT mono, however, does still work fine... streaming audio to the same bluetooth headsets that fail to stream audio during phone calls. Also... after trying and failing to use bluetooth (hearing only white noise...), pressing the volume up and volume down buttons control the "in-call volume" and not the ringer volume...FOR READERS... REMEMBER... THIS IS ONLY AFTER TRYING TO USE BLUETOOTH WITH SKYPE... it works fine otherwise and the problems are fixed after reboot.

NO SOLUTION YET!

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM that they also have these problems or are they unique to me?

OTHER COMMENTS:

-ROM is very good... pretty much stable overclocked to 1190 Mhz
