[Streak 5 General] vampirexhunter:
Hi Guys,

Thought I'd start a little thread for people to share their tweaks and tips so that others can enjoy too :)

Since I'm new to the Dell Streak, this would benifit me as well.

My Tweaks & Tips:

Boot Animation:

ICS Boot Animation Landscape (Full Screen Boot)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459717

Just edit the 'desc.txt' file to '800 480 24p 0 0 part0'

Apps:

-Rotation Locker (force landscape/portrait for all apps)

-Startup Manager (disable startup apps to save memory)

-Battery Defender (wifi off when screen turns off, bypass reboot bug! **WiFi Policy Bug**)

-Ram Manager Pro (great memory management app) ~50MB more

-System Cleanup (move apps from /data/app to/from /system/app/)

-Rescan Media (turn off media scanning service, to increase boot time)

Tweaks:

-Increase SD Cache (Speedup SD Write/Read Speeds) *Can be done by app*

Game Compatibility Tweak(Build.prop)

Change the build.prop brand & model :

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.brand=HTC

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

Signal Boost Tweak:

Follow djscopesofm's guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924440

Build.prop Tweaks:

**Make sure to Backup Nandroid before playing with Build.prop**

( I broke the WiFi connectivity while playing with some unknown settings, had to nandroid restore and test over and over again. )

Fixes:

-change build.prop to HTC Vision/Google Nexus One for apps compatibility. (Games mostly)

-Delete Rogers's APN (isp.apn) to enable WiFi Tethering **Rogers AT&T Network related**

I will continue to keep adding to this list as I keep playing with my Streak.

Hope you guys share some tips with me too! :)
[Streak 5 General] Dr Doppio:
ROM

Official Olleh 407, thanks to http://www.streaksmart.com/ for the heads-up and to the Manii for the manual and support.

Set ro.secure=0 in default.prop by flashing a boot.img from GingerStreak 2.4

Cleanup

Used adb to delete unwanted apps:

Removed all Olleh market apps

Removed Lota, Logservice and Logmaster2 (both apk and odex files)

Removed Accuweather and ZinioReader

Tweaks

Installed free ADWLauncher from the market, replacing Dell Stage UI

Locked main screen to portrait

Custom Bootanimation

Removed the camera_click.ogg file from system/media/audio/ui

Custom /etc/hosts file sending advertising sites to 127.0.0.1
[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
whats this sposed to do mate?
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
ro.secure is already set to 0 in all custom kernels.

I'm pretty sure you cant change it once the device has booted up, you need to modify the kernel (or rather it's ramdisk) and reflash.
[Streak 5 General] Dr Doppio:
Gives you root rights from adb without installing superuser and busybox. My approach may not be the proper way to achieve this, see below.

Yes, but I had flashed the official Olleh ROM, since that was the first time I was changing ROM and I wanted to be on the safe(r) side. I would now recommend to other noobs such as myself to go for a streamlined ROM, but then I didn't know better.

As far as I figured, changing dafault.prop required unpacking the bootimg, editing the file, repacking the image and flashing it back. I took a riskier shortcut to extract a bootimg from a different ROM that I assumed was pre-rooted and likely to have ro.secure=0. It was a stupid thing to do, but it luckily worked, and all it took was three lines with fastboot. I may add that the contents of the file changed a few times after reboots, and I noticed a file with ro.secure=1, ro.debuggable=1 at some point. I've also found in the file /firstboot/permissionadb.err a line "date time <adb>: permission secure=1", supposedly logging an error that I had caused by fooling around...
[Streak 5 General] Lexmazter:
official olleh 407 installed + deodexed + language pack + portrait hack by themanii + superuser (rooted) + MattedbBlues theme + GoLauncher EX.

-tweaks

-using handcent sms (with darkness skin) for simple solution to everride the convertion from sms to mms

-i consider a tweak that i don't have any memory manager or things like that, i just use the applications i need and if something bothers me, i just freeze it using titanium backup.

-for end call freeze problem, i just use the option from settings>accesibility>power button ends call, solves that problem and i think is more "accesible".

-everything runs smooth, almost no problems i would say, but i noticed some problems, wifi tends to "lag" when using instant messaging applications, i know that this is a known bug, but works pretty ok otherwise, also i use Wifi Static for almost any wireless network i connect to.

-another problem i have noticed is that sometimes it just doesn't want to send SMS's, it just gives me a undelivered notification, and i resend it again, i also noticed that the sms is sent, but not entirely, so when this happens, if i resend it 4 times, that person recieves 3 incomplete messages and finally the complete one, also, this is a farly rare bug.

hope this helps!
[Streak 5 General] vampirexhunter:
Added new tweaks.
[Streak 5 General] ntisco:
We thank you very much for your time in order to have the best settings in our phones...Is it possible to change the wifi settings in order to see channels 12-14 at 2.2.2 official android?
[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
these are pretty 407/olleh related, and I confirm they are working in this rom ONLY.

here goes

ro.build.CUSTOMER_CONFIG_KT=0

to disable the sms/mms conversion in the stock messaging app.

note that there also is a line like this

ro.build.CONFIG_CUSTOMER_KT

which I have no idea what it does (but set it to 0 anyway)

ro.build.FEATURE.SHUTTERSOUND=0

set to 0 to show the shutter option in the camera app (note: this option alone does NOT disable the shutter sound, it just shows the option in the app!)

ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_LOCK=1

ro.build.OEM_PRESET_APN_HIDE=1

grants the ability to disable and delete preset APNs from Wireless Settings. They are locked in 407

debug.composition.type=gpu

to enable the "CRT off" animation which is disabled by default.

these are not all my findings, thanks to the original discoverers!
[Streak 5 General] Lexmazter:
-----NEW FIX

I had a problem for some time now with long sms's, not the mms to sms convertion, solved it with handcent sms, but the phone would simply not send bigger than 3-4x160 sms's.

-put your mobile phone to GSM only mode, at mobile networks settings.

(this problem seems to be solved for now, hope this helps...)
[Streak 5 General] cyapalmpos:
Ya'll have covered just about everything I already do. One quick easy littke thing I found helpful is GPS Status & Toolbox for keeping the GPS and compass in line. Letting the app update AGPS data daily helps GPS lock time and there is a compass calibration app that I need to use regurely.
[Streak 5 General] sanyokt4j:
I'm not sure if other gb roms have it but in dsc 0.72 I stumbled upon the option to set up peak and non peak hours and shut data off after a set amount of time, if anyone's interested here's how to get to it

settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>schedule data connection

with the non peak hours set up for when i'm asleep and peak to 15 minutes I'm able to get close to two and half days on a single charge with a few 5 minute phone calls and ~400 texts sent per day

Edit:

Setting this up WILL prevent all apps that rely on syncing while the phone is asleep from syncing, it's not much of an issue for me but to those who rely on apps syncing while the phone is asleep should be advised to set up non peak hours data shut off only.
[Streak 5 General] simonbuschers:
[FIX] Wallstreak app - to center my 800 x 480 wallpapers perfectly

[TIP] Gingerstreak - 2.4.4 Rom with DSC-Team-Phoenix kernel , works flawless

[TIP] A Touch of ICS theme - to give it a nice black and blue look

[FIX] Widgetlocker - to bypass the default lock screen and make it a bit more usefull

[TIP] Extended controls - when the default power controll app is just a bit to limited for your taste

[FIX] Opera Mobile - a bug that my streak has is a browser that takes forever to load, Opera mobile solves this

[TIP] Streakled - a nice app that uses the Streaks led lights to notify you when youve received a e-mail or text message
[Streak 5 General] Dr Doppio:
I have noticed that cleaning up the cache changes browser load times immensely, from almost instanteneous after clean up to close to 1 minute after a couple of weeks without one. Other than that, I love desktop Opera, but haven't used the mobile version yet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Been trying to copy a new MMS.apk into /system/app in Root Explorer but every time I click "Remount as R/W" it doesn't do anything. It stays R/O.

I'm running Gummy 0.7.0 and Franco Kernel #15.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
try to use adb with command

adb remount

, then

adb push ./"mms.apk" /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Make sure you have a compatible busybox, and fix permissions...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Use the latest version of Root Explorer and not a pirated one ;)

Pirated copies do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Fix permissions worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TX_Mason:
I have searched the forums and Google for the past 2 days, and haven't been able to find an answer. I've gone through about 5 different ROM's as they came out. I settled on Sky Coca-Cola. BadAss ROM!! :D

The one thing that really sucks is I can't make or receive calls while the wifi is on. I've ran through the basics of clearing and reinstalling everything. I even tried the solution for Multiple FC's.

Currently, I have a clean install. Odin to stock, installed SkyCoke, did the updates, and just in case, the only thing restored by Titanium BU was my K-9 email and Handscent, everything else from the market.

I'm starting to catch crap for "ignoring calls" and I would really appreciate it if anyone had any advice.

Thanks

I know, i found some guide to make that over the internet, but i don't know anything about kernel, please some body do that!

It is awesome! With usb host and linux we have every thing on ds,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
I have spent about a week now contemplating whether I should return my GNex or not. Both my original model and replacement model have identical system information, including the older .09 Baseband and ICS 4.0.2.

Verizon ended up not giving me a new replacement for my less than 14 day GNex, in fact, the rep at the Verizon store told me would send me a new replacement and ended up sending me a new-used replacement... I'm still pretty pissed.

After finding out that I had been duped, I called up Verizon and, after 3 hours, finally made it to their 3rd tier tech support. I explained all of my issues, including the older HW model and baseband, the screen colors and distortion, even the different country codes varying by model. The response I received from her was no less than surprised, she said there were absolutely NO serious complaints filed about defects with this phone through Verizon. She then told me that she would contact Samsung directly to find out about these issues and contact me back today promptly at 3pm. It is now 7:30pm and I still have not heard back.

Now, I don't know why Verizon won't just replace my defective device without having me go through so much hassle with absolutely no clarity on the situation so far. I received my used replacement model in the mail today, identical hardware/software versions to my original GNex. The only difference is the label behind the battery, though giving identical information, my original had a Samsung logo in the top corner. Whether they replaced it during refurbishing, I do not know.

I have attached my Google+ album of some photos I took of the two phones. The left phone is detective, right is refurb. Both phones have exactly the same brightness, per photo.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/112484075632291866004/albums/5703575371745851681

The rep at Verizon gave me such a hard time about the screen, he honestly told me that he didn't see a difference between mine and the display model. What a goober.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
it is definitely NOT OK that Verizon tech refuses to replace your defective device.

This is what I did (replaced a total of 3 nexus due to screen banding/horizontal/vertical lines)

- Go to Verizon Store and let them know about the screen defect issue. Without a doubt they know about this issue. Press them on it.

- They should be able to replace it for you on the spot. However, its most likely he's going to the back room and getting a used gnexus out. Just open it up and make sure that one does not have a defective screen neither.

- Keep at the process. If they're not letting you replace the phone, ask him/her for their supervisor.

In essence. Be a **** about it. Verizon has good customer service, so if you raise hell, you'll get what you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
I guess I can try again, maybe I will take in both phones to compare side by side.

Let me know what you think about those images I attached as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I am on my 4th Nexus, and still not happy, while the colors are great, I have this nice line right down the middle of screen that shows up on grey screens.

My previous ones looked somewhat like yours on the left.

I am past my 14th day, but thinking of calling up for an exchange myself, but know I will probably get something worst back.

Quality control is just horrible, and every verizon rep said same thing, no defects known with this phone, and just having bad luck.

I have no answer, it sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brycetrem:
I don't know where these refurbished GNex are coming from either. Do they fix phones that quickly or do you think these are most likely repackaged phones? Also, the woman at tech. Support said I had the option of keeping my original device by sending it directly to Samsung for repair and keep this replacement as a temporary. Wonder if Samsung would end up replacing my phone with a new device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I would take up that offer, send it to samsung and let them fix it.

I actually thinking about doing that myself, for the line in middle but they told me would take 2-3 weeks to repair.

I really don't want to be without a phone for so long.

Also all 4 of my models were brand new and did not make a difference.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] xrscyr:
So, as posted on the lenovo community forums, now that we have obtained root we can change the system bar icons (ie back, home, apps) back to stock by swapping out some png files.

I've successfully pulled the file and changed the files using winrar on my pc but the problem I have is putting the SystemUI.apk back into the /system/app folder where it belongs... it gives an error saying not enough free space for the move.

I'm not knowledgeable with adb to know how to use the commands to push and mount the system folder, so I've tried Root Explorer and ES File Manager both with the same problem.

In both File Managers I've had root access and mounted the folder as read/write. I also deleted a bunch of lenovo apps out of there that were much larger than the SystemUI.apk that I've been trying to replace so I don't know what else to do.

Any suggestions?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Jon2555:
I've had similar strange problem and I only made some space by deleting so you can try to push Lenovo apps on data partitions that's several times bigger that system one.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
We had managed to replace the stock status bar with the default honeycomb one on the K1:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] danjac:
Hey,

just messed up with my systemui.apk and now my taskbar is completely gone. I tried to backup with titanium but nothing changed -> always a forceclose message appears.

I also tried to copy and paste the file from the titanium folder manually into system/apps but still the same.

does anyone know what to do? looking forward to some answers.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:
- reboot (No Taskbar but no errors, right?)

- Copy files (There need to be a SystemUI.apk and a SystemUi.odex)

- reboot again

I got my taskbar always back. ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] danjac:
thanks for the answer, koshu.

unfortunately it doesn't work at the moment.

might it be possible to send me your original systemui.apk and .odex?

maybe they will work!?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:

ok, before blindly deleting and modifying systemfiles and consequently messing up my system again...

...is there any way to get rid of the launcher wheel in the taskbar. i just hate that wheel, hit it so often while writing with the stylus.

some suggest to hide the taskbar (e.g. honeyhide etc) but i would rather like to get rid of the wheel only.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:
I tried to replace the SystemUi with a stock one. But looks like lenovo change something else in addition. I always endet up with no taskbar.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] obscure.detour:
This is indeed sad news. I think what we really need is a rooted stock Honeycomb/ICS ROM we can all flash :)

Anyone have any experience developing ROMs for specific devices?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:
Maybe i can give you first good news at the end of the weekend ;)

(Don't expect to much now)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] obscure.detour:
No way!? :) HC or ICS?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ICS would be significantly harder to implement at this point due to no drivers etc and you'd have to port everything essentially, right?

Does anyone have SystemUI.apk for 0075_US?
[Acer Iconia A500] starkiller86:
Hi, so I am running this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1429199

Everything runs great except Google Maps. I noticed that whenever I open Google Maps and use it for a minute or two it tends to just freeze for 2-3 seconds then closes and boots me back to my home screen. No FC's, no error, just kicks me out. This happens everytime I use it Google Maps. :(

I have cleared the cache and app data. I have not uninstalled/re-installed it yet. Guess there is always that..Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Thanks.

------------------------------------------

Update:

Actually, I force closed the app. cleared data and app data. Uninstalled the app. Rebooted the tab. After reboot I went to market and pushed the update to it. (I guess it doesn't actually uninstall since its a G App). After that it works fine, with no closes.Not sure what it was, but that got it working.
[Acer Iconia A500] jodokus77:
same thing here

Hi,

I use the same pre-rooted ROM and have the same problem.

Using the satellite layer in maps even reduces the time it takes to crash.

I also see this behaviour in Google Earth.

I've de-installed and reinstalled, deleted cache and reverted upgrades to no avail.

Any help is welcome. If a log can help, please le us know how to get it.

Thanks.

I switched the ROM to Ezterry's (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265847)

Just wiped cache and dalvik and installed on top of Gersma's

That fixed it for me.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GW2:
Okay so I've got my bootload unlocked and all is well and I wanted to install CM9 because it seems to be the best ICS version out there for my phone. I'm having two issues though. 1 I can't find the download anywhere and 2 I'm not exactly sure how to install it. I've been searching for a while now and I can't get any concrete answers. I'm sure if I found a download I could probably figure the rest out. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay so I'm looking at this thread for the download but can't seem to find it. This says FXP106 has been released as far as I can tell. Thanks in advance.

I used to like it when i got it but i just hate microsoft the have stabbed me in the back so many times with xbox and this phone. I love android cause the app, wp7 just doesnt have any apps or anything.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
This will start a flame war undoubtedly like it always does but....

Basically you cannot install Droid on ANY windows phone 7 yet. Period.

As to the apps? What "must have" apps are you missing?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XAaronJohnstonX:
well, wp7 marketplace for one just doesnt have anything, androids has so much more. everything on wp7 cost money. if i could unlock this stupid thing i would be happier. is there anyway to unlock the HTC Trophy from verizon.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XAaronJohnstonX:
Bump... anyone know who to unlock the HTC Trophy from verizon, model (mwp6985) on firmware 7720 mango. I unlocked it before but thats when i had my developer membership which microsoft banned my account for no reason, one of the reasons i want android.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laquox:
There are tons of free apps on WP7... the way you write this though suggests you are used to piracy.... That being said though to unlock the Trophy you have to downgrade back to a lower version NoDo or lower probably. I am not very familiar with the Verizon phones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spookidoodles:
I came from iOS having previously, and to be honest there may be less apps on the WPMarketplace then either store but I have found I don't need hardly any third party apps to make the phone function on par with what I had before.

Bottom line - if you want an Android sell your WP7 and buy one. I sold my iPhone on eBay to get my Omnia 7 and I'm sure you won't have a problem selling the phone.
