To add to the issue list.

I had direct dial and webpage shortcuts on my home screen. They lost their IDs. They worked but i couldnt tell them apart :)

I notice you need to touch the screen longer and harder in some cases. Perhaps that explains some of the keyboard issues.

Can't get a digital clock to work. Either it wont refresh or doesnt display right.

2.1 is much quicker than 1.6, but lots of annoying little niggles

Lets hope Dell put more work into the official release
[Streak 5 Android Development] zwuncki:
Yeah, the contact IDs are being deleted. It then only says "Telefon" (Phone) instead of names.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
Awesome! I was all prepared to wait ages for it then it comes out of the blue. All the changes are great so far, psx4droid works perfect now even performance is a little better. Keyboard is still a bit weak though, anyone got the htc keyboard working?

Edit: Got the droidx keyboard working fine, in portrait its excellent but its way too tall in landscape, anyone know if this can be adjusted?
[Streak 5 Android Development] jdsemler:
I got 2.1 going on my Streak, but I noticed I couldn't see protected apps in the Android Market. I edited the build.prop file of my phone in a way similar to what the Eris Market fix should, but the Eris Market Fix app bricked my phone, so don't use it. The only change I did was to the fingerprint. I changed it to this:

I got the idea from this Rogdor fellow:

http://androidforums.com/913412-post1.html

All you need to do is overwrite your /system/build.prop file with the one I attached, kill the Android Market app with SystemPanelLite, then launch the Android Market app. I used Root Explorer to easily overwrite the file, but use whatever works for you.

If it matters, I'm also using Market Access to pass my SIM off as US T-Mobile, but that doesn't really impact the above.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
maybe people stuck wit h market in the UK should try the original 1.6 string...

has anyone got the build. prop from the 4339 build?

here's the one from 3883. If you change that line in build.prop to see if it works on UK 2.1UPDATES....
[Streak 5 Android Development] jdsemler:
That might work, but wouldn't using a 1.6 fingerprint limit you to not being able to see the 2.1 apps? For example, you cannot see apps like LauncherPro in the market from a 1.6 device.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
I fixed my market by changing my e-mail from "googlemail" to "gmail" and wiping.

All paid apps got carried over fine too :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] bigsro:
Have to say, ive had no problems whatsoever with my newly upgraded Streak. Eclair is so much better. The official update should be just around the corner.
[Streak 5 Android Development] OliFos:
I'm having no great issues witht he new build other than apps missing in the market. I've tried the build fix and gmail/googlemail swap as mentioned but I can't see certain apps.

Can you guys see the National Rail application in the market for example? I can't and there's a few others like the Pure Calendar widget etc that are missing for me.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rovex:
The signal strength is much improved. I now have 3 bars of HSDPA compared to none at all under 1.6. It means i can actually use it for the purpose it was bought!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
I'm in the same boat, I can't see the national rail app or pandora radio. I've deleted my cache but no progress. Not sure what else to try.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
Im going to try the above from jdsemler, I'll let you know how iget on
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
looking at various build.prop and the one from the 2.1 update I reckon we could change

ro.build.fingerprint=Dell/qsd8250_surf/qsd8250_surf/8x50:2.1-update1/ERE27/eng.cmbuild.20100805.171647:user/release-keys

to

ro.build.fingerprint=Dell/qsd8250_surf/qsd8250_surf/8x50:2.1-update1/ERE27/6941:user/release-keys

or

ro.build.fingerprint=Dell/qsd8250_surf/qsd8250_surf/8x50:2.1-update1/Eclair/6941:user/release-keys

Even more reading around, looks like it MUST be an existing rom fingerprint that google have already approved... so the 3883 build will work but its going to be 1.6 only..

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/04/20/protected-apps-missing-htc-desire-owners/

the verizon works as should any other 2.1 build thats been out for a while.
[Streak 5 Android Development] illmatic75:
dont think its available yet :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
Thanks fards, im going to try the eris patch and report back. Would have dobe,it already but I aint had time...........groan. That's the trouble with working for living!
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
all it does it change the ro.footprint line of text in boot.prop to verizon, try that one first, although if you're uk then try a desire one for eclair first as it maywork better...

if you have rootexplorer from marketplace (it's cheap) then you can edit the boot.prop on the device as it has an option to edit with a text editor.

there's loads of other settings in there I'm having a play with.. set hdmi to false to see if it would increase the FPS past 30, but no joy..
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
Fards I tried these and no luck. Trying the eris one now
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
No luck so far....just going to reset my phone to see of it works......[small cry]
[Streak 5 Android Development] dkl_uk:
Er, help.

I've just rooted my phone and i'm now on attempt #6 of flashing the 2.1 update.

Why oh why do I end up with the stock OS as if i've just taken the phone out of the box?

I am:

Booting the phone using the volume up/down & power.

Option 2 - recovery.

Nice little status bar with the upackaged box image.

Reboots.

Second little status bar and box image.

Reboots.

Welcome back to a stock 1.6 OS.

Why??

Oh and if it's any help - the baseband ends in 21 - so i'm assuming it's "21" and it's build 4399. Bought from O2.

***********FURTHER UPDATE***********

Whatever file modaco and several forum posts on here are referring to, I am guessing it's the stock O2 ROM which is the half-way update for those who can't get to 2.1 from their own ROMs. I have no found a different update file from Mediafire and have applied this successfully. 2.1 is so far looking fairly awesome and i'm about to throw the VR Tunnel live wallpaper at it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Fazziebear:
No luck with the build. Prop file. I'm guessing my inexperience was the reason. Tried the market enabler.pkg (thanks dcogen) and it worked a dream.
[Streak 5 Android Development] STILLSPRINTIN:
Disregard
[Streak 5 Android Development] Jezza0:
Did you find the Eris hack TOTALLY ruined your phone? When I tried this, I could no longer unlock the phone, apparently because the screen calibration was way off. After a factory reset, the phone freezed whenever it booted to GUI. Currently, I'm still trying to recover it an hour later!
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
why didn't you just try and change the ro.footprint line in boot.prop ?

can you link to the eris fix you used as the one I saw was just a boot.prop with the line changed, at least that's what the thread suggested.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Jezza0:
Cos I was trying to take a shortcut, thinking that the very worst that could happen would be that I'd have to do a factory reset. How wrong I was

Got it from the market.

Streak's at home dead at the moment. I have stock recovery and stock 4399 as update.pkg on the SD card, but it won't install it -- just gives me a blank screen on update. Have to try and fix it tonight.

Back on my trusty X1 for now :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
you should be able to flash a version of it with fastboot, (such as the zip that Paul did) do you not get the blue text appear during recovery?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Jezza0:
Thanks Fards... I'll have a crack at it tonight. I've only tried via fastboot (vol keys pressed at power on). When I select update, I just get blank screen.

I guess the next thing to try is to do it via my PC.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
that sounds like you haven't got the stock recovery then (recovery is volume) (fastboot is camera)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Jezza0:
Well that's the bizarre thing: I didn't think I'd changed the recovery, having only flashed stock - 4399 - 6941 (I have to confess my relative ignorance of the Android way of things though). I did download stock as linked on THIS useful post by lufc, and installed it as per his instructions.

EDIT: sorry yes fastboot = camera, I used that to reflash the stock recovery. Then use vol key to boot into it for update flash.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melhookv12:
I debranded my desire, and did an OTA to 2.2. Everything was fine for a day. Then the phone got a little bit wet, but the labels are still white, now it is stuck on the white screen with green HTC logo.

Last night I managed to get it into safe mode, but wheneve i turned it off, it went back to the white screen, I then had to do a recovery, and it would load up.

Now i can get to to the bootloader screen.

I think i need to flash a rom from my SD card. But I cant work out how to do it, could anyone point me in the right direction please !! I cant take it back to T mob, as I have debranded it.

Can i creat a gold card from my phone ?

Can i use RUU with an earlier ROM??

Please help a fellow desire owner out !!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technane:
Can you elaborate on

"A little bit wet"

and what action's you took when it happened and what you did

to ensure it was dry before you tried to turn it back on?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melhookv12:
it was out in the rain for a few minutes, non of the visible stickers are pink/red.

i turned it on straight away. it wasnt dropped in water or anything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forelli:
To do this you need:

1. to do a bit of searching

2. to read a bit more carefully.

What you need is here. Incidentally, it happens to be the first thread of the forum. Now that I did the 1. for you, you can proceed with 2.. And only after having thoroughly read all explanations, you can ask a question about what you don't understand, I'll be more than pleased to assist you with this.

Good luck

f.

P.S: if you understand less than the half of what is explained in the Guide, you shouldn't try anything or your may end up with a paperweight. Solution: browse the Internet to have an explanation of all terms and procedures before you proceed. I'm new to android, but an advanced user in WinMo, so I read, searched and read again 1 week long during my last holiday, and then I bought my Desire, rooted it the same day and started to flash custom roms on it. My first flash was on 27th july 2010.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melhookv12:
I take your comments onboard, thankyou, I did the offical OTA 2.2, it worked fine for a day, now it is in a constant reboot cycle.

Hello all

Does anyone know of a Rom or theme that has the ability to rotate the home and or lock screen and still retains all the Sense UI functionality.

I am aware that it is in the Cyanogenmod or at least it is on the Nexus one.

but this removes Sense. and alot of the HTC tools that I use very often.

Any suggestions?

So I was getting unknown reason 18 error when trying to install certain apps from the market.

I've googled and search the forum. The best answer I could get was to wipe and reinstall the ROM, which I did not want to do.

Then I checked the logs and figured out the problem was that all those apps that would fail were trying to install on SD card by default.

The solution: move all the apps back to phone, put your microSD into a card reader and delete .android_secure folder. That's it! :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrCJones:
Ok, so I figured out a solution that is hopefully "better" and "quicker" for all. Simply connect your phone to your computer (as USB Mass storage), browse to the folder '.android_secure' (make sure you can view hidden files/folders in windows) and delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec' (I just renamed it 'smdl2tmp1.asec.delete' just in case it didn't work).

Problem solved! Everything updates just fine now and I didn't have to move any apps back from the SD card to the phone. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watso4183:
Yea...just this guys.

zero need to delete, move, etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Just unmount the SD, instead of taking it out...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
So you would rather take out your SD card every time you install something that is giving you an error, instead of fixing the error by just deleting one file (/sdcard/.android_secure/smdl2tmp1.asec) one time? :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Can the asec file be deleted using the phone? I thought you had to connect to a PC to view the contents of the .android_secure folder?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Works fine in a terminal emulator. Some file managers might work as well. No need to connect to a computer.

Happy DANCE!!! I rebooted after doing this, pulled battery, and re started. Boom! Works! Thank you so much. I did not have to remove the SD card. Just mounted it to my laptop and deleted the file that way. Woohoo!:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skisquash:
If you just move the app you want to update back to the phone, you can update. Then just move back to SD.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
As has been stated earlier, you need to delete one file: /sdcard/.android_secure/smdl2tmp1.asec

If you do not, you will have to move each app you want to update back to the phone, then back to the sdcard. A bit of a pain in the butt, no? If you delete that one file, you are all set.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skisquash:
Thanks. I'll make the edit.

What is this file (smdl2tmp1.asec) used for and why

doesn't the system erase it when finished with it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rose4uKY:
My friend was having the same problem. We couldn't mfind an install folder or that file. Then he found Android Secure uner Astro and tried to delete it there but I don't think it worked. So if we plug the phone back up to pc and find Android Secure folder can we just delete it. On Astro it showed nothing in it. Is that file smdl2tmp1.asec file suppose to be in Android Secure folder? I don't have the problem with the error messages up apps not installing but he does and he doesn't have the space to move all to sd card then update and move again and he doesn't want to do it one by one.

Edit: My friend found the file and deleted it and his problem is fixed now. Once phone hooked up to PC Android secure folder showed files in it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virnik0:
If you're using some custom ROM, sometimes happens, that creator of such rom removed some files, which he/she understud as an obsolete.

Like

/system/bin/newsfs.msdos

This script is used for creating asec repositories.

Try to use one I've uploaded.

For example, most newcomming complainers about this problem comes from the group of Darky's 9.5 Extreme Edition ROM, in which this file is missing, and thus some apps, relying on asec repositories Angry Birds, Dolphin HD Browser Themes, and others, fail to install. My wife was one of them.

Just copy over this file (unrar first!) to the path I've noted, and be fine :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danonb:
This worked for me. Couldn't install Angry Birds on Darky 10RC3 and I can now.

Thanks (and pressed thanks too!)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virnik0:
I am glad that it helped, and thanks for your vote "Thanks", very appreciated.

Darky's ROM is very good, I am theming it ocassionally for my wife, which is using it. But Darky is sometimes too fast releasing new versions, so it may happen that he loose track with some needed files/scripts.

Anyway, if you'll have any problems with any ROM you'll use, try to install CatLog app from the Market first. This app will allow you to view logfiles of your ROM/Linux/Android, which makes debugging very simple (for example, file I've posted was mentioned there as missing, so I have just copied it from my other phone of the same type, and it worked.

I cleared the market cash and Google services framework data as per the steps described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893538
