Hi! I picked up a surplus Streak 5 at work for use outside the US; I just found this ROM and really like it so far -- much better than the AT&T Froyo, or having half of my system in Korean :)

Two questions, I can't find answers for these although perhaps I am not searching on the right things -- I am new to the streak, and while I've used some modded roms on my other phone (Spring Epic 4G/Galaxy S + keyboard) and messed with the touchpad, had not worked with anything quite this ... different.

1) Does 2.9.1 already include the USSD fix? Last mention was back on 7/18 and I think that's still referring to 2.9? If not, already have it downloaded, and will apply. I can't test it until I get out of the US to get a new local prepaid SIM.

2) Is there any fix/patch/setting which will disable having text entry boxes taking over the whole screen?

Thanks tenorntex and everyone else for working on/supporting this ROM. Great stuff!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
I don't know about the USSD fix but the only keyboard I know of that will over ride the behavior in point two is Thumb Keyboard... correct me guys if I'm wrong
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
1 - you have to flash ussd fix manually...

2 - if you mean when it is in landscape mode, well... it is normal like that... switch to portrait mode and it should be good...

I'm using SwiftKey tablet keyboard and it's perfect in landscape and portrait
[Streak 5 Android Development] mr_handy:
Thanks! (Should anyone care, I'll report back on how this does with AIS prepaid service in Thailand...)

And thanks to the suggestions to try an alternate keyboard in landscape mode. I'd never noticed the behavior on my Epic b/c of the physical keyboard (which disables it) but it does the same thing when the on-screen keyboard is up in landscape mode.

LED blink not working

I believe this is the best ROM so far I have used on my Streak and it is amazing. All the issues were solved using the forum threads and updates. But, LED part is not getting fixed. I have tried all the patches and fixed available in the forum but still it does not blink.Not while charging nither when I get a message or a missed call. Please advise.

Also one more issue is that the wireless get disconnected when my screen goes off and connects back when I unlock it. I have tried changing the settings in wireless to never but it still does the same. Help on this as well.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lexmazter:
Well, as i know and as it is to me, the LED doesn't blink, it just stays on when you have a missed call or a message, or so it is on my device, there was a blinking mod here, but i haven't testet it as i like the LED to stay on and not to blink.

As for the WiFi, make sure the settings are set on never Sleep, and furthermore make sure you are using 366BB, just in case :), you can find a flashing tool for the BB here or here :)

The WiFi also has some troubles on this ROM so make sure you have flashed the WiFi fix provided in the first post, or the one provided by me with some other fixes here.

--

Hope this helps :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] lfe136:
@LEX - I am a little confused. I thought the 366BB was for froyo roms. Since this is a LH is a GB rom, won't there be issues?
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
that is correct.. however... gb bb is not that good... so we did some research.. and turn out that 366bb have a more voice clarity and better cell reception... and therefore.. we all started to use 366bb... and it is excellent so far... :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] lfe136:
@DEY - I am on 407 right now. What would be the easiest way for me to get to 366 without having to redo everything. I have never used QDL just fastboot. Please advise.

Launcher issues....

I have tried both ZEAM and ADW and neither of the launchers work (FC) Does anyone know how I can get ADW to work with this ROM?

Thanks,

Chris
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
I am able to get both of those loaded and useable without any issue. Are you using anything that locks the launcher in memory? Try rebooting and clear your caches.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rydroid:
OK back on the rom, I have more time to problem solve this time. I installed over 1.4.2 cleared caches and did a phone reset. All working well but my favourite game that was working perfectly on 1.4.2 now plays for about a minute then crashes out. Its the only one, but odd. Any ideas?
[Streak 5 Android Development] rydroid:
OK been thinking it could just be a rogue app. What you reckon?
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
I'm not sure. What game is it?
[Streak 5 Android Development] rydroid:
Trial extreme 2, not a deal breaker just slightly irritating
[Streak 5 Android Development] ayturkozmen:

Thanks for you,

Please only kernel link.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
You can just extract the boot.img file from the download, and use it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dbozam:
Which cpu controller app works with this ROM?

i have used cpu tuner, set CPU, antutu CPU, and a few others. No matter which cpu speeds or governor i choose, i get random reboots and sleeps of death. Doesn't matter if it's overclocked or underclocked. All is fine when no cpu controller app is running.

I want to save battery and try some performance boosts...anyone have any luck and can give me a suggestion?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Try flashing gxkernel. It should help.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
That is a new one for me. Did you do a Factory Reset after flashing Longhorn 2.1? I use SetCpu and I don't have a problem with it. I have also used antutu cpu without issue.

What is the speeds you are trying to achieve?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Damin777:
tenorntex THANK YOU FOR THIS ROM i have found it to be the best rom on my streak and i have tryed LOADS so far//

AnTuTu CPU set @ 1267mhz (best score Tonight so far is 3057 almost the 2nd fastest Uploadet test score to date)

SO THANK U

[Streak 5 Android Development] dadme:
Any news about update. Best rom by now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] manemzjum:
open build prop with a root file explorer and change lcd_density from 240(default) to whatever you want keep in mind 180 will cause market problems but 160 should not

Picture is just for reference your build prop will be similar
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lexmazter:
Just download one of those here provided, put the phone in fastboot, run the Batch that will guide you through the rest of the flashing, this is the easiest way to do the 366BB flashing :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] lfe136:
is there no place to the get the 366 amss and dsp so that I can do it manually in fastboot?
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
Although it is not needed, here is the another link for the files.

http://d-h.st/users/TheManii/?fld_id=3935#files
[Streak 5 Android Development] lfe136:
what's not needed. the 366 amss or the dsp 1
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
The 366 baseband. If you were having issues with cell quality, then it may or may not help you. So if it is working fine with your current baseband, then I say just stick with it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lfe136:
@ ten- thanks. can you confirm if your mute is working or not during a call?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lexmazter:
Well, first of all you need to make sure that WiFi sleep policy is set to Never at advanced setting at WiFi.

Secondly there are some programs i think that prevents the device from going into deep sleep, that could also be the thing you are looking for.

--

You can also try to go to Settings>Applications>Development>Always On <- If you tick this as hte description says, the device will be turned on as long as you keep it charing, that could also be usefull for your problem

--

Hope this helps :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Buddy the wifi doesnt turn off or switch to mobile data. The wifi sleep policy is set to never. Its just that the wifi doesnt work at its full power. I want it to go into deep sleep because I aint downloading large files that frequently. Keeping the screen on while downloading affects the battery a lot. What I need is a way to make sure that the wifi works at its full power even when the device goes to deep sleep. Anyway that can be done by tweaking something in build.prop or wifi tx power settings or something like that.
[Streak 5 Android Development] frankychan:
Hi all,

I have used this 2.9.1 ROM for a day, and I found the current drawn is quite large, when all RF is off, and only GSM (2G) is on. I went to bed and sleep about 8 hrs, the battery drawn from 83% to 63%. This is a very large battery drawn, for the handset in idle mode.

I have another phone, Desire Z, and run the same test with the same SIM card, the current drawn is only about 3% to 4%.

Did anyone have the similar problem as me? The baseband I am using now is 407.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Yes the battery drain is there but as I use a mugen 4800 i dont bother much about it..
[Streak 5 Android Development] frankychan:
Oh, I have turned off the data transfer from GSM also.

But, I don't understand why Desire Z can have such low battery drain, but Dell Streak Mini 5 cannot. Their hardware are nearly the same.

Actually, I found Dell streak Mini 5 cannot enter sleep mode. When I checked what cause this high drainage, I found the handset is on all the time in that 8 hrs idle mode.

Did anyone have experience on it?
[Streak 5 Android Development] rishagrl:
Change phone pad orientation ??

How do we change back the phone call application orientation to portrait ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] frankychan:
I also found that the mute function during call cannot be enabled, even the light on the tab is on. How can I fix this issue? I am testing on the 2.9.1 build now.

What are the attached files from the OP for?

Can we get a description of the attached files from the OP? This thread is 80 pages long and, clearly, some of the files are for older versions of LH (like the LED notifications zip), and some may be for the new version (will the wifi fix zip file fix the fact that my just installed and double-reset phone can't connect to wifi?). I have read this entire thread over the course of several months and I have no clue what most of the files with the CM7 prefix do.

[edit: the wifi was fixed by first flashing the 366 BB and then the wifi fix.zip ...end edit]

Any help and description would be great.... ideally in the first post so I don't have to remember page 81 next time I need to reference the info. Gimme a thumbs up or facebook like or "this post helped" if you agree (idk what system this site uses).

GJ on all your renditions of LH though, I have been a faithful follower since before DJ Steve broke his Dell phone/tablet.

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

Am I the only one who does not know what this patch does exactly?? Does this fix wifi, the flags (by the way I have no clue what the flags do), will it make my phone fly? Put it in plain english for us lame-Os who think flags are for putting up on flag poles each morning.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lexmazter:
That patch was made to remove some of the lag of LH 2.9.1 (or to improve performance) , it is a bit old but you can use it as it is, it does fix WiFi, but only if you haven't flashed the zip from the first page, this patch was the first step to make build my own ROM :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] dbozam:
delete this post.

So any advice as to how I can get my GPS to show me in california on Google Maps instead of just Southwest of Ghana in the Atlantic Ocean?

Edit: It took a while after I selected it, but choosing "use internal GPS" finally corrected the problem; I posted this before it took effect. It seems that the default was to put me in the center of hte map and use no gps? idk.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
A new issue has come up.... often the rom would automatically unmount the sd card and then mount it back again... i have even reseated the card to ensure that there is no loose connection. This kept on happenning for 3 days and now since today morning it tells me that the sd card is damaged and it wont read the card. The same card works in another phone. I tested it on my friends dell streak, samsung , acer and even on a nokia and the card reads. I even ran a chkdsk on the card and there are no issues with the card...Something with the rom which is causing the issue. Further more what I found out that there is some issue with regards to the tranfer or read speed related to this rom. When this card was inserted on a different streak or any other phone i got better copying and writing speeds than i used to get on the longhorn when connected as a usb.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jitin02:
This happened to me also
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Any solution for that then....?? the card is still not getting detected. Its working fine on other phones. Its wierd that the card is not getting detected in streakmod too... strange...
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Then that would suggest a kernel issue maybe? Have you tried flashing recovery and kernel to see if it helps?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
i will try flashing recovery once again and check if that does anything, i have however even tried formatting the card using sd formatter but still no go. Strangely a 2 gb card works in the recovery and well as shows up in the phone however the 16gb doesnt show up in the streak but shows up elsewhere. I was able to even copy data before formatting by inserting it in another streak. So the slot aint bad , the card aint bad. its something else which is screwing up.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
OK that gives me two ideas...

1) try formatting the card from Streakmod after you reflash it

If that doesn't work...

2) put it in your PC and wipe the card clean use the "clean all" command in diskpart... use Google to look for steps but it involves COMPLETELY wiping any partitions and info from the card... leaving it just like it came off the assembly line.

If you use step two naturally you will have to partition and format the card from scratch but that's easy
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
What do you mean

1) try formatting the card from Streakmod after you reflash it

In streakmod i do not see the option to format the external sd card. The mount sd card option also doesnt do anything. If I connect the usb cable and chose the option mount sdcard via pc nothing gets detected on the pc or mac. When i test the option of apply sdcard: update.zip i get the following error

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

(No such file or directory)

E: Can't mount /sdcard

I already formatted the card using the sd card formatter application, tried the diskpart command. The card is detected on another android phone and I have even formatted the card using that phone's storage menu. When i insert the card in my streak and boot up till the rom and check under storage the total space and available space is unavailable and the erase memory card option is clickable but as soon as I click on it and confirm the ERASE button it does nothing but give me a toast message at the bottom stating that : sd card is removed " . The 2 GB card from that phone works fine in the os and even outside the os in streakmod. My 16gb is detected in windows and mac via card reader. Its detected on android , blackberry and nokia and I am able to read and write on it. Cant seem to figure out as to what is the issue.

However one thing i noticed. In streakmod when i clicked the option report error . it gave me a successfull message that the report.log was saved on to the sd card.
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
this may sound a bit troublesome .. but.. how bout going for stock 407 and see what happen?

once everything ok.. go to longhorn 2.7... and if it is ok.. then go to longhorn 2.9.1...

however... i just use longhorn 2.7 for the time being because most of the function works as intended.. less hassle and phone is responsive :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
It sounds like it has an issue mounting the SD card. I know that if you disconnect the USB cable and take out the battery, it will force it to reset the mount points. I am looking into it to see what could be conflicting it. I also am working on a new update.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
The phone was not connected to the computer via usb. It was on charging via the ac adapter, i got an email so when i went to check it I saw this message in the notifications that damaged SD card. Before this with the phone not being connected to the charger or usb it used to randomly give me messages in the notifications that sd card removed and then immediately preparing sd card. I am still not able to go ahead and get the sd card detected be it via the streakmod or via the OS. I have even flashed the recovery and the BB but still no luck. I do not want to do a factory reset or rom change unless its the only step which is left to be done.

I found on this forum a fix for such issues but its for a htc phone so dont wanna mess with the fastboot commands unless they wont have a negative effect

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

Nope these commands didnt work, running the first command gave an error message stating that its an invalid command.
[Streak 5 Android Development] SuperKeeper:
Few issues with the ROM, probably already highlighted before;

Long boot time, maybe even a few minutes to boot up.

Many settings cannot be changed until a reboot is done. This wouldn't be too much of a problem if it had a fast reboot.

Would it be worth it to go to 2.7? If so, will a simple nandroid backup get the phone back to the same state?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
OK an update on the card issue... the phone is not detecting 8gb or 16gb cards... i have tried 3 16gb cards and 2 8gb and all are not detected they show up under storage as unavailable and even in streakmod they are not detected and give the same error E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

(No such file or directory)

E: Can't mount /sdcard

however when i insert a 2gb card and i have tried 3 of those it detects them fine without any issues.. as soon as i insert the card i enter in streakmod and then i go ahead and test the option of apply sdcard: update.zip and it displays the folders on the 2gb card. Within the android os under the storage option the proper space is visible and all options are visible. Any ideas..??
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
yeah... i would suggest go for 2.7... 30 seconds boot up if you turn off boot animation and sound .. no frills and fancy stuff though... ;)

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

if you want the phone to properly detect 8gb for the inner sd... you have to use stock rom first such as 406 or 407 and flash it using matching recovery... once you get pass that... you can use any custom rom.. and all the problem would go away as you currently have...

for external sd... sometimes the card is not compatible with the phone... depends on the brands... if i not mistaken... i do have heard bout compatibility issue with streak ... though for me it detects just fine... kingmax 16gb class 10 :)

though for longhorn.. maybe you should stick to 2.7... :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] djmax81:
Hey.! what.kernel 2.9.1 and 2.9 has dsc test 3or 4???? I di not remember:confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
I am not changing or doing anything to the internal sd. Its the external sd card with which I am having issues. It was working fine with this rom and suddenly i started getting messages in the notification bar that sd card removed and then the next second it would show preparing sd card and the card would get detected. After this there was no issue for like 15 to 20 days and then suddenly one day while the phone was on charge i got a message in the notification bar that damaged sd card and when i clicked on tht message it told me to erase the card. I wanted to get the data off it as i use this for my work so there were a lot of work related files on it. When i took the ext sd out and tried it onto a different phone it was getting detected there so i copied the data. The i tried checking the card on couple of other phones and also via a card reader and the card is getting detected everywhere else. I then reinserted the card back in the streak and it doest show. If I go to settings > storage the card shows unavailable and only the option to erase the card is clickable but when i click on it it asks me for a confirmation twice to erase data and when i select the erase button it does nothing but just give a toast message towards the bottom of the screen " sd card is removed ". I then took the card out and inserted it on my friends dell streak running DSC rom and the card was detected so i formatted it and then tried in my streak but it was not detected.

So i tried the card from my friend's streak in my streak and its not getting detected. He uses a 64 gb class 6 card and it works fine in his streak. Thinking that it might possibly be the card slot issue i took out the sd card from my wifes android phone and it got detected instantly on the phone so the card slot is fine. Then at work i tried 3 different brands 16 gb cards from different phones , 2 8gb cards and they all are not getting detected. However any and every 2gb card got detected, tried 3 so far and all got detected. Didnt have a 4 gb from anyone so cudnt test that. So it seems above 2 gb the rom or streakmod is not detecting.

Moreover this 16gb was the one that i got along with the streak when i bought it its a sandisk 16gb class 4
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
i guess i am pretty much lucky since i can use kingmax 16gb class 10 card without any problem at all...

how bout trying stock froyo like 350? or stock gb like 407?

go for stock froyo first and see what happen...

man.. your streak does showing its sign of aging ...
