[Streak 5 General] warboat:
My Dell Streak Story

nice score for $40!

I know how you feel. I got my first Streak 5 about 2 years ago on ebay for $73 because the guy lived out of town and no post, only pickup. He also listed it as Dell M01M tablet and not in phone or tablet section. Came with no charger or cables and seller couldn't tell me if it even turns on. Took a gamble and drove 2 hours each way to pickup. Didn't have a chance to get a usb cable to try it before pickup, so I butchered a lithium-ion camera battery charger and wedged 2 bare wires in the battery contacts and charged it from the ciggy lighter socket in the car! After a few minutes, I put the rear cover on and pushed the power button and got a warm fuzzy feeling as the Dell logo appeared on the screen. After a while, donut 1.6 fired up and Stage UI appeared and I was the happiest person in the world!

I am typing this post on that first streak right now!

2 years later, I now have 3.5 x Dell Streak 5 (.5 is one with smashed lcd for parts). 3 of them I paid less than $100 each. I paid $150 for one that came with a lot of accessories. I love this thing. It is without doubt, one of, if not THE best value android devices on the second hand market!

I am currently working on making a mounting frame to turn one into a carputer to fit in double DIN slot in the dash.

Out of all the roms for the DS5, I like the CM7 the most. I have a Galaxy S2 with ICS rooted without mods and it doesn't really offer anything useful that CM7 doesn't cover. A lot of the customisations in CM7 like the notification panel mods are way more flexible than ICS. I don't feel any need for ICS with CM7.

I switch between using the streak and galaxy s2 as main phone.

Got my girlfriend finally using a streak as her phone because she needs screen size to use a web page to book rostered hours for work and as she put it "using a normal phone to do it is crap!" She also prefers the bigger screen for playing Angry Birds!

Would go a galaxy note but at about 7 times the average price I paid for each streak, I'll stick with the streak!
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Have you considered a S7 for a double din mount?

I hear it's exactly the size of a double din if you remove the case and side bumpers (or something to that degree).

A S5 would leave a lot of unused space, unless that's the plan so you can put something else with it.
[Streak 5 General] warboat:
carputer

I don't really want to strip the casing to mount it. I am trying to do a neat mount that only shows the screen and capacitive buttons and front camera. This means I need room in the frame to hide the dock connector and a button mechanism to press the volume/power/camera buttons which will be covered by the frame.

The other benefit of using the S5 over the S7 is the FM radio capability of the S5. S7 doesn't have the FM tuner.
[Streak 5 General] Mysticales:
I still need to get the FM thing going.. not got around to looking that up. Im still debating if I will use Miui rom or stay on streakdroid 2.4.

Luckily this isnt a bad thing to play around with.. since its not my main device. Thats my G1. Thats the only one I dont reflash every chance I get.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: I found some Displays for i515, is compatible?

A: Apparently so. The packaging of the product I bought, came written i515. CONFIRMED

Q: I found some Displays with Assembly frame, what the benefit?

A: Its easyiest method. You just need unplug and plug the screens.

Q: Can I change just GLASS, not LCD screen?

A: Yes, you can. But i don't recommend. Because the Glass and LCD Screen are assembly by machines. So to spare this parts, you'll have a lot of work to spare and glue the new one.

Ps: Sorry my badly English. Isn't my natural language!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Is there then an easy way to relock the bootloader and wipe any trace of it ever being unlocked?

I know I sound a bit paranoid, but what if I need to send it in for a warranty-related problem?

I got my phone today and was actually a tad disappointed over it being "Samsung-branded" with the yakjuxw-build. One would think it would be entirely managed by Google with it being a Google phone and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KLUVJ:
use the gnex toolkit to flash to google version, then use it to relock bootloader. 10 min thing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
If you care about voiding the warranty, then I would recommend that you do the following BEFORE unlocking your bootloader:

Plug it into USB, reboot into bootloader.

Type "fastboot getvar all".

You'll probably see a variable called "unlocked" which would be set to "no" or "0". See if there are any variables listed there that talk about warranty. If there are, then I wouldn't recommend unlocking because even if you re-lock the bootloader, they'll know it was unlocked at some point.

I know that this was not an issue on the Nexus S (also made by Samsung). You could re-lock the bootloader and nobody would be any the wiser.

The reason I suggested you try it was because of the Motorola Xoom (which of course is another Google Experience device with an unlockable bootloader). On all Xoom bootloaders, there's the standard "unlocked" bootloader variable, but also an additional one called "IsWarrantyVoid". From the factory, both bootloader variables are set to "no". As soon as you unlock the bootloader for the first time, both variables are set to "yes". If you then go and lock it again, "Unlocked" gets set to "no", but "IsWarrantyVoid" remains "yes" and there's nothing you can do to change it.

So I think you're OK because this is a Samsung device, but just double check it before you unlock the bootloader. If you don't see any kind of bootloader variable pertaining to warranty, I say go for it. I did a quick check of bootloader variables on my LTE Gnex and didn't see anything suspicious, but it sounds like you have a GSM version, so you should check yourself just to be absolutely sure.

I dared to unlock the bootloader and flash yakju 4.0.2. I mainly flashed 4.0.2 too see if OTA's work and they seem to. Got a small 8mb update but no .3 or .4 as of yet. Gonna check tomorrow morning, though. It's 10.40 pm here.

When on 4.0.4, I'll root.

I couldn't even stay from tampering with my 7 hours old phone, lol. Let's just hope I won't need any repairs. ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Hmm..."secure" worries me. I'm sure this is a stupid question to ask at a place like XDA, but does anyone have a GSM Gnex that has NOT been unlocked yet? Can you tell us the value of "secure"? I went back and checked on my LTE Gnex and it's there and also set to "no". I missed that one the first time around.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
Unlock, flash temp Clockwork, make backup, done.

Just restore that backup and you'll be back to yakjuxw. Reboot after restore to remove temp Clockwork, then relock bootloader. Good as new.

P.S. might be a good idea to note the radio your phone came with, in case you flash a different one. Clockwork does not backup radio, so you'll just need to flash the radio before restoring to stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Yes, which makes me wonder if it's set to "yes" out of the factory, then set to no upon first unlock. "Secure" reeks of being Samsung's version of Motorola's "IsWarrantyVoid".

I'm sure most of us here at XDA unlocked our bootloader the day we got the phone even if we ended up re-locking it a day later. I'm hoping that someone has a girlfriend or parents or somebody that has a Galaxy Nexus that's never been unlocked in order to check the value of that "secure" variable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
secure is basically another way of telling if the bootloader is secure, it's nothing to get scared over
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
So does it come from the factory set to no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
On HTC devices, the secu_flag (or secure flag) is what dictates if the bootloader is re-lockable. If the flag is set to 1, you cannot re-lock the bootloader; if it is set to 0, you can. I'm just speculating here, but it may be similar on a Samsung device. Confirmation would be needed of course.

That's great info to know. Thanks!

Hey guys!

Does anyone know a way or app to increase gap between rings?

Right now my OneX rings like this:

Tring..Tring..Tring..Tring..Tring..Tring..Tring..

And it sounds really weird. I want it to go like this:

Tring.......Tring.......Tring.......Tring.......Tring.......Tring.......Tring.......

I hope i made my point clear :D:D:D
[HTC One X] bmwandroid:
Use a mp3 as ring tone, make it so you have the time you like in between the tones :)
[HTC One X] Da-Bomb:
This could be a work around I know but I sort of like the default tones for example "Standard 3". This is my current ringtone but it really sound weird like the phone is in some kinda hurry :D

Thanks for your help though :)
[HTC One X] Da-Bomb:
Is there a way to extract stock ringtones from the rom? Im using ARHD :D
[HTC One X] Da-Bomb:
Well, obviously no one knows the answer here in Q&A and I cant post in developers section to get the attention of more experienced users :(
[HTC One X] :
Use an app called root explorer and navigate to /system/media/audio folder and copy what ever you want and paste it to a folder in your sd card and that's it.

[LG Optimus 2x] pitrus-:
Without any kind of hardware acceleration I'm pretty sure FullHD is out of reach. I'd say you would have to do like me, which is to run CM7 instead (with ICS theme if you like the halo look). Using there latest etana 3.0 kernel you get both speed and great battery and with the modified stock LG camera you get really nice quality 1080p recording.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] s1d:
Hi,

I've got problem with building Android kernel modules. I'm using GoClever A73 with Android ICS (4.0.3, kernel 3.0.8) for Eken T02 (both are Allwinner A10 based). I'm trying to compile modules for this kernel. Module I've found in Android has following modinfo:

filename: /home/sid/usbnet.ko
license: GPL
description: USB network driver framework
author: David Brownell
depends:
vermagic: 3.0.8+ preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7
parm: msg_level:Override default message level (int)

And file:

/home/sid/usbnet.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

I'm using sources from github: madprogrammer/linux-aurora . I want to build for example usbserial.ko and pl2303.ko. I've built module with modinfo:

filename: drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
license: GPL
description: USB Serial Driver core
author: Greg Kroah-Hartman, greg@kroah.com,
depends:
vermagic: 3.0.8+ preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7
parm: vendor:User specified USB idVendor (ushort)
parm: product:User specified USB idProduct (ushort)
parm: debug:Debug enabled or not (bool)

drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

But when I'm trying to insmod module I've got Exec format error. There is a line:

usbserial: no symbol version for module_layout

strace says:

(...)
init_module(" ELF", 0xb634) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
(...)

I'm think that there are some config values set in wrong way but haven't idea which.

There is .config in attachement. (Unfortunetely kernel running on Android doesn't provide config through /proc).

Have You got any idea where I made mistake?

Thanks ;)

[HTC Sensation] kmmxracer:
So I have been reading alot of threads since i bricked my Sensation 4G last night, and it does't seem like there is a good thread discussing this exact issue. Yes there are a ton of S-ON bricking discussions where people with the same issue as mine are chiming in, but don't seem to get any resolution.

Here is what happened to me:

-Was running AOKP build 31

-Was going to install build 32, so I decided to wipe everything, starting with my SD card.

-I tried to wipe the SD inside AOKP and it did some funky stuff that I can't really explain.

-Next I booted into recovery and tried to wipe my SD card from there

-It hung at the screen where it asked if I was sure I wanted to wipe the SD

-I waited for a wile, the phone was unresponsive so I did a battery pull.

-It never booted again:mad:

-My phone is essentially in a permanent "Download Mode" readable only by some software known as QPST.

To me it seems like a trivial thing(wiping the SD card), that I usually do every once in a wile before I flash a ROM. So if this is happening to other people, this should defiantly be in its own thread. If there is one already, I'm sorry!

I have read in other threads about people having the same or similar issue when it came to formatting the SD card on a AOSP style ROM such as AOKP or CM9(opensensation)

Reading through the Un-Brickable mod threads, it seems the tool is going to be geared towards the S-ON brick, and dexter93 has made comments about the tool possibly not being able to work on this AOSP style SD formatting brick.

I am a huge fan of Opensensation and AOKP, and my hopes are this is only a small isolated issue on a few phones, but if there are more people that have bricked their Sensations the way I have, PLEASE post here with you current situation and what you have learned about this.

Thank you for your time.

***I CAN NOT BOOT INTO HBOOT OR RECOVERY***
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
I'm not sure why you are formatting your sd card before a flash to begin with, but it should not affect your being able to boot into your ROM. Can you still access hboot and recovery??
[HTC Sensation] kmmxracer:
The only reason I format my SD card is to clear our some of the folders left behind by apps I don't have or use anymore.

No, I can not boot into hboot or Recovery. The phone basically does nothing but it does shows up on my PC as QHSUSB_DLOAD mode
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Lol this is the weirdest thing ive ever heard : wiping sd card before flashing a rom have you done a backup of your sd card on your pc ?? If so get a sd card reader then maybe you can do something from there... Can you boot to hboot??
[HTC Sensation] kmmxracer:
Ok lol I get it, I'm weird for wiping my SD card, it shouldn't brick the darn thing though!

For the second time, NO I can NOT boot into hboot or Into anything else for that matter...
[HTC Sensation] DevourDarkness:
I'm pretty sure this was reported before. The SD wiping process in Cm9 is unfinished and bugged. Someone said what might be happening is a system partition is wiped by accident.
[HTC Sensation] kmmxracer:
Thats Pretty much what I thought. Shouldn't this kind of thing be in a sticky thread or a noob guide or something. Any way, I hope this thread helps others avoid this. :mad:

I tried to call o2 to ask them to unlock the handset but no luck they said the phone has only been on the network for a few months and needs to have a year lapsed before it can be unlocked. Urgh *sigh*

So any other possible way to unlock, should i try o2 again or go online to some site.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Wezi:
Hi All, I made some custom bootanimations for my Galaxy SII and decided to share them here, Terminator 2 Reboot and Jurassic Park Reboot sequences.

Instructions

Files at the end of this post, extract the bootanimation and poweron files first.

Copy the bootanimation.zip file to your phone in the System/Media directory.

If you have an existing bootanimation, either move it to a new folder or rename it to something like bootanimation.zip.back

Copy the PowerOn.wav file to your phone in the System/etc directory.

If you have an existing PowerOn.wav, either move it to a new folder or rename it to something like PowerOn.wav.back

Use a file explorer, i recommend ES File Explorer, you'll need to be rooted

Terminator II - Remember when the T1000 'takes' out the Terminator? This is the Reboot sequence which follows shortly, seamlessly followed by the Power Down sequence when he is lowered down in to the molten metal. Looks pretty good on the SII and looks the part. Try and it and you'll see :D

Link at bottom of post, extract the bootanimation and poweron files

Jurassic Park - Dennis takes Jurassic Park offline, and the only way to bring back on is to Reboot the entire system. My favourite of the two, the blue tint on this and the flick of the switch for the Reboot just makes it so relevant for the SII powering up. Not to mention the opening line, "Hold on to your butts!"

Link at bottom of post, extract the bootanimation and poweron files

Note: the sound for this one might be on a little low side for some, if you like it leave me some feedback and i'll up the volume.

Try them and let me know what you think, works fine on my current set up, Checkrom V6, Siyah 2.6.9

Make sure your kernel supports custom boot animations before trying, and you're using a Stock Based Rom (feel free to try it on CM7 etc and leave feedback if its working!)

Didn't seem to work on DHD running CM7

If you like them, show your appreciation, leave some feedback and HIT THE THANKS BUTTON. If the feedback is good i'll try and upload some more classics :rolleyes:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] privatetrousers:
I read something on radios and if I was you, I'd probably stick with what you have until you fully understand them. Apparently the difference they can make (for the better) is not that great... But can potentially have a negative effect. I haven't flashed an alternative one through so I could be wrong! The problem is that you have consider location AND the hardware in your phone. From what I gather the latter is not easy to determine because two desire hds from the same country/ phone company/ year can contain slightly different hardware that can affect which radio to use. If you know how to check how well a radio is performing, however, feel free to experiment but there isn't a 'best' radio that somebody can recommend here. You'll have to work it out for yourself (and I'm sorry to say I don't know the best way of properly checking!)
