Well that's good of you to be cautious. Better be safe than sorry... As for me, I gave into temptation :p

Also in about a year, i'll be due for a free upgrade..

By then, i might not even use it.
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Actually, in most cases you can download the correct ROM package (and recovery if necessary) from the Streak wiki here on XDA and flash the ROM that way if you need to. Otherwise you can install StreakMod Recovery and do a nandroid backup of the ROM.

Changing ROMs is one of the easiest tasks for the Streak. As you note, it doesn't affect your warranty status either.

Best Rom for streak 5

I have tried out the following..

1.LONGHORN 2.5

2.MIUI.US 2.3.16

3.DSC 0.74 MIN 2

4.MIUI.US 2.3.2

The best so far has been DSC...stable,min. FCs and reasonably good battery.Have upgraded to DSC 1.0 and appears to be even better.

also new to dell streak

hey guy's

I Bought a used dell streak 5, because i washed my hd2..:eek:

So i needed a new phone for not to much money. My wife is using a chacha for almost a year now and i was pleased with the Android, I used it on my hd2 a couple of times but at the end i returned to stock, Worked well enough and i had it fore the agenda function.

I had a backup of my pim data (one month old) and used a few weeks my old Tytn2 again. i missed the big screen and found the stylus a pain...

I liked the samsung note, but to expensive, in a ad i found the Dell, the seller was compairing it to the samsung note. I never heard that dell had a phone.

so the price (160 euro) and the big screen was good for me. I bought the phone on a online marketplace, and it has a few scuffs, but works well. It had the 407 rom. When i got it,i did a factory reset and in got stuck at the boot logo.

So i had to flash the rom the same day that i got te Phone. I got it to work with a stock rom, and bought a second one 2 streets away (150euro) thru the same online market place. from a older lady :confused: But it looked brand new, had a stand and a otterbox case!

So long story short, i have 2 dell streaks 5 the best one i use daily als my private phone it has stock 2.2.2 351rom.

The other one i am using to test roms. i flashed a few, learnt a lot doing it, and loving Streakmod!!

The best rom i found is DSC1.0 just great. But other than the crap in the standard 351 rom i just cant see the diffrences in the builds of Android.

What is the improvement from froyo to Gingerbread i find both good to use and appart from a few diffrences in style i don't see the big improvements.

Oh i rooted both phones, but nog on the stock phone, i don't know what to do with it. I was pleased with my selfe, but at the end Yes Yes Yes.. what can i do with the root privileges. Not much i think. Maybe a good backup but wath else?
[Streak 5 General] Kilman:
I've been using DSC rom since 0.6b. it is great rom with continuous support from Nop and dsc team, custom GB with working ussd sender.
[Streak 5 General] vampirexhunter:
I wonder which one is faster in performance? DSC or StreakDroid?

Since I use my Dell Streak 5 stickly as a Tablet for gaming now.
[Streak 5 General] Kilman:
Vote for DSC V0.1 I can play street fighter IV hd in my streak with no lag now.
[Streak 5 General] ting9004:
try cm7, it should the besat
[Streak 5 General] rfrazier:
Another new Streak user.

I got a Streak in February, my first ever "smartphone". I really like the size of the phone.

There were only a few niggles with the default ROM, but I decided to install DSC 1.0. Given the instructions available on the site, the installation was straightforward. Thanks to those who provided them. Also I want to thank the developers of the DSC ROM. Although it has been only a short time since I installed it (less than 48 hours) it got rid of the niggles I had with the standard ROM[1], and everything works as expected, including Bluetooth and WIFI.

In any case, I joined the forum so that I could express my thanks.

[1] Given that I'm getting a bit older, and my eyesight isn't what it once was, I wanted to increase the density and have it persist over reboots. I wanted the screen to be dimmer than allowed in the standard ROM, and more/easier control over CPU performance.

Best wishes,

Bob
[Streak 5 General] badgerboy1:
Well got my streak last week of fleabay, jeez great if you dont use it, but 10 minutes of use and it goes into the endless boot sequence until battery taken out and wait 20 minutes.

I know this seems to be a common-ish problem, but what is the cause and a solution? Had a look around and done the factory reset stuff gone into flashboot to check internal sd all showing no problems. Its as if it gets above a certain temperature then resets itself.

Contacted seller who states it was fine for him, hes admitted selling it and getting it back once! Lodged a complaint for a refund, but to be honest If I can get it sorted I would like to keep it. Love the size of the screen.

Does replacing the internal SD card and/or putting DSC on help at all? or is it f*cked?

Help appreciated
[Streak 5 General] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
When I had my streak I had a few problems regarding reeboots etc I did replace the inner SD and it was fine after that's was running Dsc also
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
Have you tried re-flashing a ROM and doing a full reset? Before you send it back, you might just try a full erase / re-flash and see if that helps.

I'd also try that well before I cut up the plastic to replace the internal SD.

Try replacing the external SD card, too. I've seen those cause issues before as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdreco:
is there a way to manually link contacts to facebook one by one??

so I can pick which contact goes with which facebook profile.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
I do this all the time because my Facebook never syncs with my contacts correctly. Press the contact you would like to link with a Facebook account. Then press Menu and Edit Contact. When you enter the Edit Contact screen, press Menu again, then tap Join. As long as you have Facebook sync activated, it should show a list of your Facebook friends with the same/similar name(s). If it does not show that Facebook friend, either that person does not have the same name as you set in your Contacts, or there is something wrong with Facebook and your phone. Hope this helps!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
Sorry, I mixed up one of the instructions! Those instruction are based on stock Android. On Touchwiz it is the same thing, but instead of pressing menu to go from the View Contact screen to the Edit Contact screen, you press Join after pressing menu from the View Contact screen.

So basically Contacts>Select the contact you would like to merge with a Facebook friend>Menu>Join>Select the Facebook friend you would like to merge with your contact. Done!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] PokMahPok:
yes, please elaborate. giving a vague description of your problem doesnt really tell us much, thus we would be unable to help you. (Refer to Forum Rules no. 3

maybe start by describing what you did before the problem happened, and the details about your phone. rom, recovery,rooted/notrooted etc

Hello all. So here is the latest theme I have been working on for Valhalla Final.

This theme will not work on the new CWM 5. You need Valhalla Final with CWM3.

As soon as I can, I will look into fixing it to work with the new CWM 5...

as always, Backup before flashing

and Flash at your own risk...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51005515/Blue-Lightning-Valhalla-Final.zip

Theme includes the following Themed APK's:

Gmail

ClockPackage

Contacts

Dialer

GenieWidget

GoogleVoice

Twitter

MMS

TouchWiz Calculator

EDT/Team Kang Tweaks

Google Market

YouTube

and of course SystemUI, Framework-res, twframework-res and Settings...

Also included are 2 Different Launcher Apps...

ICSLauncher2 Themed

and

Go Launcher EX V2.36

along with my Blue-Lightning Go-Launcher Theme. (ICS.apk)

You are free to choose which launcher you prefer to use. I have also included my Blue Lightning Icon pack in a zip file in the /data folder. Feel free to use them and edit them as you please.

I would like to say thanks to all the Devs for the great roms to work with....

Whitehawx and Team Kang for Valhalla Rom to work on...

and some pics....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
Bravo! This is beautiful, thanks Racing! :)

Sent from my Rockin' Galaxy S 4G!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
Its pretty sweet. Quick question i did a different ics theme on go launcher and it changed the wallpaper. I want the lightening wallpaper back. I looked through the zip files. Is it in there i didnt see it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Racing19969:
Yep, There is an ICS.apk file that is the go launcher theme. If you change the theme back to the go launcher Default Theme, Then reboot and go back into go launcher settings/theme and apply my theme you should get the wallpapers back. If not let me know and I can send you a zip with the images.

Also, Thanks TheKucho I wish I had more time to work on it but then I would never get work done. There are a few things I would change but overall I think it came out pretty well...

Now I am going to start a new theme...

Any Ideas, feel free to throw them my way...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] goddi2010:
Racing can u send the zip please i tried that but still if i change theme i wouldnt be able to get that wallpaper ya know
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sunsurfer42:
Thanks for this. Awesome theme!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cannondale0815:
Hey Racing -- nice theme. Some aspects are a nice improvements over your previous ICS theme, but I have a few questions / comments:

- Can you offer an alternate version without the women on the pull-down menu?

- How can I change the transition when launching Gmail? The side-ways slide effect is a bit unusual and different from launching other apps.

- When opening a contact, some labels appear to be missing or just black. I'm not sure how it looked before, but for example the icons that indicate which accounts have been linked to a contact (i.e. facebook, google) they are just sort of surrounded by black. Also, the "Message" button has no frame around it anymore. EDIT: Having reverted to my ROM backup, I can confirm that all section labels in the contact info screen, i.e. "Phone", "Email", "Joined Contacts" etc. are missing in your theme -- they appear to be black text on black background.

- EDIT: One more -- the History tab of the dialer is also missing the labels for the different dates -- it's just black on black and therefore invisible

- EDIT2: And another one -- the Gmail new mail notification icon is yellow again, not blue, like it was in your ICS theme

Thanks man!

-J

Update

Here is a link to The theme with a Dark Transparent drop down for those wishing not to have the tattoo girl. Sorry if I offended anyone...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51005515/Blue-Lightning-Valhalla-Final-2.zip

Also, I fixed the Black on Black text in Contacts. Here is a link to the apk. Just push to system/app/ via adb. Or you can re-download the original theme. I have added the updates to it as well.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51005515/Contacts.apk

And last but not least, it seems some of you are having issues with the wallpaper not working. I am not sure why but here is a link to the image.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mysticfrog:

Thanks, glad you figured it out...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drdoombot:
I tried downloading the transparent drop down, but the tattooed girl shows up anyways. I tried flashing both zips several times, but she's there every time. Any chance you could check this file?

Also, can you point me toward changing the dialer? I tend to use light wallpapers, so your transparent dialer makes it difficult to see the buttons.

Besides those minor quibbles, this is the perfect theme. Love it, love it, love it!

Thanks for your hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The CWM5 kernel has a bug that won't let you overwrite files. Since you're trying to flash files that will overwrite existing files, it's better that you extract the zip file and push them using root explorer or ADB. Don't forget to reboot to CWM and run fix permissions after you do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
Any way I can use this for SCOM v3.5? Or change stuff around to make workable for SCOM v3.5
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drdoombot:
I tried replacing a couple of sample png's using NinjaMorph, but SystemUI crashed right after I hit "finish project." I tried rebooting to recovery and fixing permissions anyways, but none of the changes took.

I then tried using Root Explorer to push my modded SystemUI.apk to /system/app. SystemUI crashed again, I rebooted, fixed permissions. Most of the changes took hold this time, but now I'm missing the footer in the dropdown (the part you use to sweep away the drop down). I didn't touch this png, yet it's missing all the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You should've been pushing the op's modded SystemUI.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drdoombot:
Yes, but I installed the version without the tattooed girl in the first place! (but still got the tattooed girl for some reason)

In any case, I tried pushing both versions of SystemUI.apk (Blue-Lightning-Valhalla-Final and Blue-Lightning-Valhalla-Final-2) and the tattooed girl appears in both.

Maybe the second link was a bad one?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m0bstr:
will this work with sweet child of mine rom??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
Is there a mirror for the links? The dropbox account seems to be disabled...

I just downloaded it now from the first link.. The error page I got last night was for "high traffic"

Try downloading it again you should be alright.

Oh, you misunderstood:

I didn't install/push your second link; I opened it with WinRar and found the background image still contained the tattooed girl, same as the first link.

Would someone else please confirm this, as I'm starting to feel like I'm losing my mind here?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AnonE-mouse:
Just rooted my phone recently and wanted to say this theme looks awesome. I've been having a few problems with it though. First time I flashed it, youtube and gmail stopped working completely. So I reflashed Valhalla Final, then reflashed this. But now the app market and gmail look like normal, no theme applied.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littleasian:
i've been browsing the "post your home screen" thread in the themes/apps subcategory and i've noticed that a lot of people use widgetlocker to get really impressive looking lock screens.

im debating getting that application too but reading the reviews of the application, it seems some people are having battery draining problems. can anyone who is using widgetlocker comment on their battery life and whether or not using widgetlocker will cause any noticeable changes?

i primarily just want to change the lock screen wallpaper and add a few toggles
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smabbage:
I use Widget Locker and have not noticed any excessive battery drain. I've used it for some time both on the Droid Incredible and now on the Galaxy Nexus and have been quite pleased over all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No excessive battery drain here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
I've been using it since it was initially available and have used both stock and WL for various periods.

Unless a bad widget is used in WL it causes no appreciable difference in battery usage in my experience.

Today I Traded my wifes old MyTouch 4G for a GT-I9100 (The Real GS2) Unbranded and Unlocked. I Installed CWM & Rooted it. I installed VillanRom 3.0 and ran some Quadrants to see what this thing could do. I started off with 1.4GHz ondemand with SetCpu and first score was 3950 lol. The second one I bumped it to 1.6GHz and thru down 4750 :eek: Then it rebooted itself on the third, But I mean Damn this thing is fast.

To bad I can only get EDGE with it or I would keep it. This is going to make one happy AT&T user!! Craigslist or Ebay it goes soon, but I do want to play with it a few days. lol ;)

Our T-Mobile Variant does'nt stand a chance against this Beast. LMAO

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vabeach454:
I had my Wifes MyTouch for sale on Craigslist for $225 Modded to the max. This guy text me and asked me if I could root his GT-I9100 because he could only pick up the EDGE Network. I told him that phone is the international version and he would not get 3 much less 4G. He asked if I would trade for it, I told him sure no problem that it would make me a great Dev Phone. we met and did the EVEN trade. Lol The I9100 is like new. Haha

One its a god damn phone. They all run the same with enough tweaks and optimization. Two its a got damn benchmark. Quandrant means nothing which can be easily faked. Three I guess you lack confidence in real life somewhere to feel good about a benchmark.

Here what you should to be
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vabeach454:
I wish it would, but I have been on the I9100 forums most of the day and everyone says it does'nt support 1700MHz or 2100MHz (Our 3g and 4g) but it does support AT&T HSPA+. :(

whoa whoa whoa, watch the language, no need for name calling, but yeah you should expect replies like this especially since you are in the hercules forum... But yeah you shouldn't rely on benchmarks much.

awesome deal though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
You made a flame bait thread and then you do not even want to hear the truth. Before you tell people to stfu you should learn not to start a flame thread. You can't even have normal conversation without calling someone a retard. It be different if it was a nice comparison between the actual two devices. I would of left this thread alone.

Then you start by showing how big you feel on the Internet. The difference between two products is hardly night and day. Not like I can't run android apps because I don't have a exynos chipset. My phone still makes calls and still does literally and what the other variants can do. Unless the other variants with the exynos chipset grants me the ability to fly then there is no difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vabeach454:
Sorry for the cursing, but here he chimes in with GD Phone and quite frankly pissed me off. No I dont Rely on Benchmarks, but it is what it is. There were no shady mods done to boost #s. I own both phones and should be able to tell wich is faster. Clearly the processors on the GT-I9100 will Smoke Our T-Mobile US Versions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
lol, yeah i noticed you own both phones based on your devices, but this could be a better opener lol. You can actually do comparisons and stuff not just benchmarks... good luck with the thread.
