Everything is Fine!!!

Hey @mjaverto, thanks for willing to help! And yes, everything is fine; root worked perfectly!! It is what allowed me to update to 2.1 :-D

As a matter of fact I have modified my 2.1 ROM quite a bit:

- Removed O2 boot animation

- Disabled the black popup window that replaced the standard menu bar. I am back to using the 2.1 grey menubar

- Removed/disabled bloatware:

Twitter

Facebook

Getting started guide

Outlook task and notes

RSS Widgets

AmazonMP3 (Replaced with US Version from my Nexus One)

Also modify the build prop to boot US Locale by default and other minor changes. Now all that's left is to change H symbol to 3G symbol and add stock US bootaninmation.zip. That's where you come in. LOL!

Anyways, I am not sure how familiar you are with the Android SDK, but it comes with a tool called "adb." This tool allows you to do all sorts of debugging. It also give you the ability to push and pull files from the Android device's file system.

What I need someone to do is install/download adb and the command from my earlier post. If its done correctly, you will be able to pull files from the Streak's filesystem.

The file I need is:

bootanimation.zip (adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip)

I am not sure what OS you use, but here is some more info on adb (Windows specific): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U

[Streak 5 Android Development] mjaverto:
Not super familiar but I think I can do this for you. I'm guessing I will need the root done first to be able to use "adb"? Maybe you can share your 2.1 Rom with me after you change these last few things as I'd love to upgrade.

*Windows 7 64x by the way. Should that work ok?

If I have any questions I'll shoot you a PM.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Actually...

No, root isn't necessary. You will only be pulling (copying) files from the filesystem; root is only needed when you want to write to the filesystem and run root system apps.

...And there is one problem with sharing my ROM... I have no idea how to package it. Dell uses, as far as I can tell, a proprietary ROM package (.pkg) format. The best I could do is walk you through the process of getting 2.1 installed. I am basically modifying the ROM on the device.

Hopefully, someone will develop some neat way to backup, modify, and package ROMs for easy installation. Heck, a way may exist... Maybe someone could chime in and enlighten me.

I am not sure about Windows 7, I run Linux. My guess is that you shouldn't have any problems. PM me if you have any more questions or concerns.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mjaverto:
***Edit: Is that path you have above correct for sure? I keep getting remote object does not exist.

Upload: I attached tools.zip. *Note the two files inside are the only two files I could find named BootAnimation on my phone which is stock 1.6 ATT US.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Try this...

Try this:

adb shell ls /system/

and post the output
[Streak 5 Android Development] mjaverto:
I posted two "BootAnimation" files I found above

See output:
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Cool!

Now type:

adb shell ls /system/media/

Let see what this produces. Hopefully we will see the file:

bootanimation.zip

listed.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mjaverto:
Nope

Nope sorry. I did a search of the whole device with Astro File manager and it searched all these folders. The above two are the only ones with boot animation.

A search for "boot" yielded these 4. There is no bootanimation.zip:

system/bin/reboot/

system/bin/bootanimation/ (attached in above post)

system/customization/BootAnimation/BootAnimation.xml (attached in above post)

system/bootpriority.xml

sorry.

What steps did you take to update to 2.1?

Which steps did you take to update the 2.1 rom?

I was alble to flash the clockwork recovery rom but could not boot it when the device rebooted...
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
You Are Man!! Thanks!

Thanks! You even grabbed the images! Awesome!!

Anyways, looks like you missed a step with getting 2.1. You need to install the stock UK recovery image: http://www.romraid.com/paul/streak/recovery.stock.img

This will get your recovery image to accept UK ROMS. From here, you should be able to flash 2.1 directly.

See @Greenarcher707's excellent post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7668927&postcount=6) on this forum for detailed guide. Since you have already installed the clockwork recovery image, you should be able to skip steps 1 and 2.

Once you have downloaded the image: (update-6941-21.pkg | http://www.mediafire.com/?bb9cvm5uaap2z8k), save it to the root of your SD as "Update.pkg."

The last step will be rebooting the phone into the recovery mode by holding "volume up" + "volume down" simultaneous and pressing the power key. From here it should be self explanatory.

Good luck and let me know how it goes. Hit me up if you have any more questions and thanks again for your help!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cemian:
US Stock ROM Build 6601?

Awesome!! well I see you have to flash the UK stock rom which has a lower build than ours...Is there anywhere you can download the stock US Rom Build 6601 in case we want to go back to stock? Since the nandroid backup is not working in clockwork..I cannot do a a rom backup :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Unfortunately, I don't know if a stock 6601 ROM exist. I figured that at some point the internets would produce one :-D But for now, those of us that took the plunge are stuck with 2.1 for now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Thanks cemian!!

FYI...

I just completed the port of the stock boot animation to the 2.1 image. See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7681745#post7681745 for more information.

Thanks again @cemian for your assistance!!

I'm thinking really hard of upgrading to 2.1. but a lil scared but no stranger to flashing.how is this flashing compared to wm flashing.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
I find it is alot easier than WM once you get the hang of it. I also find that Android phones are harder to brick than WM phone, but not impossible. Just make sure you do plenty of research before you take the plunge. Good luck!!

First, sorry I doubled this post... I thought I was posting here but I first posted on the fascinate forum...

Maybe it's a stupid question, but if I don't ask it I'll never know :P

Do you think will it be possible to make a mod to the i9000 and use the Fascinate camera & led flash with it?

It seems to be the very same camera but with led, and it's located in the same spot. And in the i9000 disassemle it seems to be space enough. What I don't know if it's a disassembly of the Fascinate to compare spare parts :P

What do you think?

Greetings
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
is too much work.

yes it will work

but who will want to spend time, cutting up their phone back plates, and also the phone inside, to cut the hole for the LED

and you will also need to find the wiring.

the program is easy, just copy and past over the App from Fascinate and use in I9000

i use this instead, it's so easy

[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
Have you actually tried the phone at night or in a dark room, in night mode? You don't need a flash at all.

This phone in night mode is far superior to any phone I have ever used at night, including 2 LED flash phones. LED flash is mostly useless to begin with, what Samsung has done (increase ambient light sensitivity) is FAR superior.

If any of your friends give you grief about not having a flash, just do a comparison between their phone with flash and yours without, they will quickly be humbled by the results.

I have a HTC HD2 Rom version 1.72.110.4, on T-Mobile. When I make or recieve a phone call, there is a vertical slider that is used to access options behind it including the notepad, calendar and speaker.

Is there a registry setting or tweak that will disable the slider so that I have ready access to the options buttons?

[Epic 4G Android Development] KyleCole90:
Hello Epic users, Rmjr, Fixter, and I have made the rom flashable but it seems like we are just missing one piece to the puzzle when it is flashing. The rom is on its way and will be here sooner than later. Thank you for all your support.

Here is the change log for V.1 of this rom.

Update-

9/8- Ok the rom is done but the team and i are working on a way to flash it without bricking it. This is a long journey we are on but i promise that when the release comes you will not be disappointed. Also, late last night i found a mode that will give this phone some crazy battery life. Thank you for all your patience, you guys are awesome : )

Update-

9/11- Well guys the rom is done but flashing it is still major problem. I am currently working on a way to flash. Since this phone does not have a custom recovery I am kinda just experimenting with different ways. To all the people who are doubting this rom and are trolling on this thread, go make your own rom... if you can.About the donations I dont care about it, I just thought if you all would like the rom to be better and produce faster turn outs. To all my beta testers, when the first time i get it to flash and it doesnt mess up your phone you guys will get it ASAP. Thanks for all the support through this.

Update-

9/14 - Now that a working recovery has been released I am now working non stop on this whenever i have free time (I have college and work to go around also). Patience is the key here, the people who donated should be getting there beta copy by Saturday night if all goes well. Remember I do not have a Epic so i have to have my team help me flash this so this is a very long process to make sure i dont send out a rom that will brick every phone. I would also like to thank the people who have been commenting on the thread i read each one and listen to all of you. Thanks for all your support.

V.1

Removed bloatware (The Sprint crap)

Removed Touchwiz

Set the cpu scale ( The phone is more snappier) *Thanks to Bugless Pete

Added Astro file manager

Wired tether

Wireless tether

Enabled Laptop mode (Crazy battery saver)

More to come in V.2

Deodex

Zipalign

Ad Block

I will upload a file that as all the apks that i removed for those you like those apps can still install them using Astro.

Wooo im jumping from the Evo to the Epic. hope we get the same support
[Epic 4G Android Development] glendawg619:
WOOT! i have to decide between the evo and epic 4g, im returning my captivate and going to sprint! any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
The way I see it, i think the epic is a better in terms of gaming and video playback but Evo will always have better support from the community.
[Epic 4G Android Development] glendawg619:
well we have the whole galaxy s team behind us though, so i think it should even out after the fascinate comes out and more galazy s phones are sold
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
This phone is the first one to match or exceed all my requirements for me to spend $500 on a phone again. It's gotta have 1+GHz, good GPU with sufficient drivers, 512MB+ RAM, SDHC (XC wouldn't hurt), 480 x 800 or better, smaller than 4.3", a hard keyboard, and a headphone jack. I've had 4 $500 HTC devices (no contract ftw) without a headphone jack and it's about damn time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
while thats true but i feel like it'll be all scattered instead of it being unified like the evo section. or any of the other phones ive rooted and flashed roms regularly, like the G1 and myTouch. this will be my first android phone thats not made by HTC. but damn i love that processor on the Epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] NickMl:
It's a combination of the processor and the keyboard that pushed me towards the Galaxy S. For the most part, I prefer the Evo's look and feel, but I hate onscreen controls with emulators. The S Pro has both power and controls. Look at how silky smooth this video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl5PBXZXuSA

Who ever chooses a crippled qsd825X device over a samsung intrinsity S5PC110, its just insane, people that havent had the chance to hold a galaxy S device in there hands, have no clue of what there missing, these devices are just blazingly and retardedly fast, its just the device that everyone from each of the major carriers should own, i wish i could marry my captivate cause i ****ing love it, just the same way you all love your epic 4g's =D

Yeah, the community is going to be huge. There are galaxy s devices across the world. I'm so excited!
[Epic 4G Android Development] agonzalez1010:
Any details on what is coming out on the "Tha Boss Rom" verison 1.x"? It's exciting to hear that a custom rom is coming out, but it's can you give a dog a bone and hook us up with some details........... Overclocking? Better Keyboard? Will it have an app that will build me and island and then transform into a jet and fly me there??? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ConceptVBS:
Not to mention this phone is a world phone with it being launched in 110 carriers world wide. Its perhaps the largest distribution of a smartphone in any market, larger than Apple's iPhone.

Just think of all those developers jumping on the bandwagon be it CDMA or GSM.

A 7" and 10" tablet will be spun off the Galaxy S line up. Can you just IMAGINE?!

This is a monumental push by Samsung to overtake Nokia and Apple to be #1 in the smartphone market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
I agree. what we need is gather all the galaxy s developers in one roof (forum) with all the devs working together, it would be crazy and developments would be so fast.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Will this rom perhaps have the missing feutures that the other galaxy s phones have (ex: Customizable icons/pages/tv out etc.)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rawsoup:
i second that, plus I'm assuming it will have wimax to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] saywhat4118:
I work at radioshack and our sprint rep just came by with an epic and man it is nice. Feels great in hand and the spring action of the keyboard is really strong and isn't flimsy at all. I compared it with my evo as quickly as I could like running the network speed test, which the epic won in for tests in the same area. Also noticed there was a new update sprint was pushing out. hopefully its touchwiz 3.0 but doubt it. The phones auto brightness wasn't working too well, the brightness level seems to dimmed down all the way after I turn the screen off and I had to manually turn it back on high through settings. Besides that, everything else was buttery smooth and I can't wait toll I have my own epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] EpicFan:
Any chance it will come with WiFiTether?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KyleCole90:
Yes it will. I already have most of it done : ) I will not have a epic for a long time so I need yall to give good feedback :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] chino0131:
Its a hard decision. I LOVE my Evo, but I ordered an Epic yesterday (I'm a phone whore). They both have their own advantages IMO. I played with the Epic at the Sprint store and the screen is great. I'm gona test the Epic out a little more this weekend and whichever I like better will be kept and the other will get sold. If I could keep both I would. I think it boils down to personal preference. As I said, each have features that make them both unique, and while some features are a must for some, they arent that important to others.

Now, having the rom coming out is great, but, what bout recovery, honestly I wanna dive right in but don't wanna screw anything up. BTW for those who are interested, you can download HTC IME mod v27 hi res and set the hardware prediction on and oh dear lord is typing easier. Once you've installed, change the input settings to the IME and then tap for it, then slide the keyboard open, tap the screen again and viola predictive text and corrections for the Epics hardware keyboard. I enjoy, so I though I put it out there.

Thanks for the upcoming ROM. I don't think you should disable TouchWiz unless you install something else, like HTC Home. TouchWiz is actually pretty cool, IMHO, and is easily turn-off-able if people don't like it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] drive45:
It will only work if you have the physical keyboard out before being in a field that has input. It does seem to work if you reselect it again. It is quarky to get it to automatically work esp. since i usually dont start composing it physical but switch to it.

I did just get it to start working even after starting the message in the soft keyboard. It will not start working if you just start typing on the physical, you have to tap the screen (not a long tap or anything, but simply tap it).

The other issue i have and am not sure if this can be corrected is that I like using swype for my soft keboard and ime for the physical. Is that a possibility or is it a one or the other?
