If its any consolation the dell logo kind of goes through a little coloured animated bit and then sits there - like its trying to boot....
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
thats a loop - try factory reset
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Yes. Its there!!!! - that took a bit....right as i was saying off to the donation area - many thanks steve!
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
np *chalks up annother fixed install today, thats about 5 :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Tenner coming your way steve...again, many thanks - now i know i can update new builds....looks like the dell crap has gone too!!!! yey!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Bloody hell.....it pisses along now.....oh dell, you so dropped the ball.....
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
would you believe thats actually slow :) grab the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file from downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve and drop it in /system/etc and it'll be better :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] rodjordan:
Just noticed there is a new file in your download folder Steve. The file has a new.zi extension......
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
eh - how do i do that then - oh is there a fix/change to make the icons big....
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
changing lcd density :) get root explorer either from market of find it online and get andrtoot also to root your device

Camera app opens, won't take pics?

Steve, great work on this build. I flashed last night without a hitch and cannot put my Streak down now!

Curious, earlier in the thread people were complaining about camera issues, but I haven't seen any lately. It is not working on my US Streak. I can open the camera app, I click the shutter button and hear the shutter sound, but no picture is taken or saved. I had this same issue on the leaked 2.1 rom as well. Any ideas?

Thanks again - awesome work!
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
cant comment without logs :), and ignore the zi file its just a backup file
[Streak 5 Android Development] bitziz:
Hi Steve,

awesome rom first of all! Flashed it yesterday and loving it. Just a bit of American that I had to wipe all my SMS's but no worries.

Quick question though, isn't froyo suppose to have flash built it? But why I still can't see flash videos in the browser. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks mate!
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
ok - getting a root explorer now - so, do i load that file on to the memory card first - how do i get it into system/etc (ive always wondered why i couldnt see that section....
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
flash cant be preinstalled (it doesnt work) so just head intothe market and search for flash player and then install :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yup may want to get astro from market to let u install apps on mem card
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
ok steve, got it on the memory card, got root access, got a root explorer....is it just a case of copy and paste....
[Streak 5 Android Development] nightworker-nn11:
Hi, sorry for the Q am new to android n have to say what I've done for us streak owners is remarkable Dj Steve.

U mentioned to get market to work to search for skype etc u must wipe data after install. But how do u do it ?

Many thanks advance.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
ok - im there (steaming along tonight!!!!) steve - do you have a link to a thread to get the icons big....(i think youve helped me enough tonight!!)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yep mostly copy and paste,
[Streak 5 Android Development] KDerrida:
Hey, while you're here, could you please tell me what to do about my framebuffer permissions problem?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
you could add a line in /system/etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh to set the permissions each boot ? ill edit the boot img to set them for next rel
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
edit build.prop in /system in root explorer change the lcd_density line to 160 or 180
[Streak 5 Android Development] JWallstreet:
Hello Steve,

I was wondering if there was a setting in build.prop we could set to default the orientation to portrait.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rodjordan:
DJ Steve, do you recommend using a task killer app or not with your fantastic Rom (donation already made) ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Got it. Im there......gonna sign off for a bit now to have a mess around. Again, many thanks steve - hope my tenner goes towards something good. I tip my hat in your direction.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bhutch:
DJ_Steve,

Can't add much to what's already been said. Thanks a bunch, so far I've had ZERO issues upgrading AT&T Streak to 2.2.

Anyone have a suggestion for increasing the font size on the icon titles? I already changed icon size with ro.sf.lcd_density=
[Streak 5 Android Development] wonsanim:
Did You Change the Icon size? :confused: from 48X48 to What? :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] wonsanim:
Where I can find ro.sf.lcd_density= :confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] mr_wehbe:
v1

hi steve:

which recovery img should we use when we ugrade to V1?

Regards
[Streak 5 Android Development] Charles::
Steve...everything looks great so far. Thanks again for the hard work.

Small request...when the phone is held portrait style and the unlock screen pops up, can you rotate the clock and other text so that it's readable? Is that something I can do?
[Streak 5 Android Development] bhutch:
Changing Icon Size

Check out this post #101 earlier in this thread:

You will need a file explorer that can overwrite files in the System folder like "Root Explorer" (paid app) or "Super Manager" (free version available). Be careful. . . .
[Streak 5 Android Development] navrac:
easiest way is settings>applications, select the all tab. Select the market, press the force close button then press the clear data button.

That should sort it.

Edit: oops forgot the 'quote' button - it was a reply to nightworker-nn11' s question .......

[Streak 5 Android Development] Devil-D:
Well Steve (guy`s), i must say..... the beta1 was a success.... the second was even better! (except the white in grey notifications etc). GREAT! I was taking my digital wallet to make a donation....... But......................... the third version never came up on my streak and the V1 version also never came up.... What a disappointment....... Still stucking on the Dell logo! So? What`s been altered? Still waiting...... (it`s bin almost 30 minutes now......)..... nope, it won`t work.... again, just like beta build 0.3.....

Okay, so.... what`s the plan? Going back to the 0.2 build...? Or does anyone can give a solution? (and make it available for anyone in the first post please!)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
Just gave 1.0 a try and overall the performance is very good. Only been using it a while but the orientation is not as dodgy.

Still have the issue with video recording quality and during video playback there's white text saying this file is audio only.

Really like the black theme though some of the taskbar icons look worse then the previous build, like the mobile data, and the red txt doesn't look right either. Id recommend keeping it white on black and doing the notifications a dark grey for example. The bottom tab of the taskbar is still stretched.

No issues flashing again, though I did have to factory reset to sort the market, as recommended in the post.

Thanks - my US version Force closes the Camera/Cam-corder.

Added this as a bug report.

Does this with and without a reboot. I did have Fring installed (how I found it).

Uninstalled Fring and rebooted. Camera/Cam-corder still force close on start.

~J
[Streak 5 Android Development] bitziz:
Not sure if this is related to your rom steve.

I use googlepinyin and before in 2.1 and 1.6 I could search in contacts by typing in Chinese characters but now in contacts when I hit search, the googlepinyin keyboard still comes up but it doesn't show the row just above the keyboard where it allows me to select chinese characters...

Which makes it kinda annoying to have to scroll through 200+ contacts to find the right now... any ideas?
[Streak 5 Android Development] kantras:
When I went up to v1.0, I had to do a factory reset (hold down both volume buttons when turning on, then select '1. Factory Reset') as the device was stuck in a boot loop. The reset fixed the file issues and my Streak was able to boot without issue.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jmbneaf:
Been looking into this, Fring is what is causing this!!

Camera works fine _UNTIL_ I install Fring . . . .

Uninstalling Fring & rebooting does not remedy - have to re-flash OS to repair

FYI,

[Streak 5 Android Development] wezknowles:
LOVE this new update (sure is fast!) But for some reason my battery is draining in about half the time the last update did. Weird.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Devil-D:
Well, i`ve already thought of that one and it didn`t help. But, after going back to V0.2 and again updating to V1.0.... it came up with the second Factory Reset..

Thanks mate! (hope anyone will have the samen success!)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Azamatka:
Had same loop reboot problem. Had to do factory reset via built-in recovery (black screen one)
[Streak 5 Android Development] wonsanim:
Thanks hutch,but this tweak Change the density of the screen or the size of the icons(like for example from 48x48 to 64x64 pixels):confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] eastside770:
if i flash this rom will it stop the flashing lights?
[Streak 5 Android Development] wezknowles:
I noticed somebody a bit further back in this thread asked this but didn't get an answer but here goes:

Is there any way to change the orientation of the lock screen to portrait?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
not yet - blame dells creative mounting of screen
[Streak 5 Android Development] bigern79:
Do you get a force close upon opening the app, or does it open and force close when you try to take a pic? Mine (US version) will open and take a picture, but then it freezes (doesn't even force close). The picture is not actually taken either. Not sure if Fring would be the cause here. Anyone have this issue?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spleisher:
For what it's worth, Widgetlocker will do it. I know that's not the same as a native, "real" way of doing it, but Widgetlocker has a setting to force landscape or portrait, or to allow the system default to do it.

Working well on mine right now.

Steve, as an aside, this ROM is VERY impressive. I'm a refugee from the Galaxy S series, and I can't tell you how much nicer this phone is with your ROM than my Captivate was. (Of course, it doesn't hurt that the GPS actually WORKS on this phone)

From my perspective, the only "real" issue is the video camera. It would be nice to see that do all it can.

The Youtube color thing is a little strange, but that's hardly a show-stopper.

By the way, I've seen very little of the orientation issues that have been mentioned. Mine takes bit to re-paint widgets and such, but that's not really a big deal, and likely has nothing to do with the ROM.

One more very quick question (posted this on Modaco as well, so forgive me for being repetitive).... Is there any way to access the front camera yet? I saw it listed as an issue early on, but I don't see it listed currently. Maybe I'm just missing how to get to it.

Thanks again!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Charles::
FYI, I installed Simply Lockscreen (found in the market) and it seems to work ok. There are some slight overlaps, but not enough to cause me to stop using it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] wezknowles:
Thanks for the replies guys. I'm giving WidgetLocker a go and it seems to work pretty well so far!
[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
the unlock slider stil sticks ocassionally.

it is ok to apply the debug.sf.hw=0 ...?

it reduced the stickiness to almost nothing on 2.1

you mentioned it made things worse on 0.2

wondered if I could apply it on 2.2...?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spleisher:
No problem. If you have any questions about WidgetLocker, just shoot me a PM. I'll be happy to help if you need it. I've installed/configured that app more times than I care to admit while endlessly flashing my Samsung Captivate in a futile quest to improve the GPS.
[Streak 5 Android Development] freakyfranks:
How do we get the original wallpaper back? I tried the live wallpapers, but want to change back to the original one from the rom. Am I missing something?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
Id like to get it back too but the only thing I can think of is Factory Reset.
[Streak 5 Android Development] parks387:
its applied on the V1 release. I think it smoothes a lot of things out, but on the latest one I don't really see a big difference. It came with it on, so I just left it on :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
I think there's a battery issue, could just be me but I left it fully charged overnight with no use and this morning it was on 20% battery, and the day before at work it ran down very quick, when I checked the stats more then 50% went during standby and I hardly used the phone. It was fine with the previous build for me so not sure what's changed.

I've not had problems with the orientation freezing any more, can be a bit slow to respond sometimes but it works.

Looking forward to the next update.
[Streak 5 Android Development] max8078:
Battery

Yes, I experience the same. It was reasonable until V0.3, but with V1 I see a drop in battery performance.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
I'm on a US Streak running O2 2.1. The baseband is 21 and the build is 8105. I'm trying to get 2.2 but can't get ClockworkMod to install via fastboot. I can get my Streak into fastboot mode but when I send the "–i 0x413c fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" code, nothing happens- no errors or anything. The only thing that happens is the fastboot commands/codes legend runs on the screen again and it puts me back at c:/streak (which is where I have all my stuff). Has anyone else experienced this? I have also tried the alt recovery img and changed the code to reflect that.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Update issue

I have completed all steps in DJSteve upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 to 2.2 but now phone boots and stays on Dell logo screen and if placed into update mode it stats MISC missing and when putting into fastboot an error i think appears then flashes off with the fastboot option?

Help
[Streak 5 Android Development] airicd22:
You don't need to enter any cmd line stuff. If you downloaded a streak recovery file there should be a file in there called "install-recovery-windows" when fast boot is ready click on that file , extract the file and then click on it again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
ok for those of you stuck at dell logo do the following - IT WILL wipe all data;

go into clockworkmod

select partitions menu

format /system

format /data

format /cache

go back to main menu

choose select zip from sd

select the update zip from sdcard and flash it,

select to reboot now from clockwork menu and then HOLD both volume keys down immediately after choosing reboot option, keep held until you return to the 4 option recovery menu,

choose factory reset

wait patiently for a bit
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Will this fix the issues i am experiance?

(I have completed all steps in DJSteve upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 to 2.2 but now phone boots and stays on Dell logo screen and if placed into update mode it stats MISC missing and when putting into fastboot an error i think appears then flashes off with the fastboot option?)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
it should do, if not head into the #dellstreak irc channel on freenode and ill help out
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Is there a way to go back to dell factory install?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
flash the stock recovery and use update pkg :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Could you provide the link as i do not want to download the wrong files, just in case.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
the above sequence fixes the dell lockup 99% of time, otherwise check the pinned threads on streak.modaco.com
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
I'm trying to install Clockworkmod Recovery via Fastbbot using the instructions from the "What you need to know about the Dell Streak" thread. He has that cmd in his instructions but its not working. It just shows the Fastboot Usage Doc and puts me back at c:\streak. Now I'm really confused!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radimus:
Most of the recovery and clockwork images have a bat file that contains something like:

fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img

so basically, you can edit create one that is:

fastboot.exe -i 0x413c flash recovery filename.img

Just make sure that fastboot.exe and the img file are in the same dir. I just collected them all and put them in one dir so I can bounce between versions as necessary
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
Thank you!

Should I have all of those or are those just the ones you have? I do have fastboot and the img file in the same directory.

It was so much easier going from 1.6 to 2.1 because I didn't have to have clockwork installed. All that had to be done was move the update.pkg to the sd card and it was done. This is my 2nd day and I have gotten absolutely nowhere!!

Here is what I have in the root of C:\streak

C:\streak...

adb-windows

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

fastboot

ddms

adb

recovery-clockwork-streak.img

recovery.alt.img

Whats missing and where can I get the files?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radimus:
I think the confusion that most people have is with the clockwork and the recovery images... Once I wrapped my head around the process it made sense and the process became "easy"

The recovery images are for the bootloader, that will make it read the update.pkg (one for O2 images and another for AT&T images)

The clockwork images are to get a bootloader that reads the zip packages... one that worked for 1.6 and another for 2.1

It looks like you need the 4399 recovery.img to get the O2 2.1 image on, then apply the recovery.alt.img (clockwork) to apply the 2.2 zip image (if you aren't already at 2.1)

If you are already 2.1, then the recovery.alt.img is what you need to get the 2.2 on
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Fastboot

When going into fastboot before releasing power and camera button it say TE fail ****** which i cannot see as two quick. Any idears
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
I am on 2.1 so why can't I get this silly thing to cooperate? I love Android but iOS was so much easier!
[Streak 5 Android Development] bhutch:
DemolitionManHD

I had the same issue but it didn't seem to affect the use of Fastboot or the ability to connect via USB and Flash.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DemolitionManHD:
Does not affect from my knowledge, i have isntalled the O2 2.1 version but is there a dell version with no O2 crap available to download.
[Streak 5 Android Development] airicd22:
OK I missread, I thought you were getting stuck with something else. Are you rooted on 2.1. Anyways, try installing clockwork recover via rom manager, it can be downloaded in the market. If once you do that go into fastboot mode, than on your computer open the clockwork recovery file, (mine actually does have a install-recovery-windows. I think I may have taken that file from the 4399 rom file and put it into the clockwork recovery file) open clockwork recovery in the computer and click on the install-recovery-windows and press run. (you might have to extract it first), take out battery and than go into recovery mode. I believe thats how I did it. I never once had to enter any cmd line stuff going from 1.6- 2.2.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
I was rooted but did a factory restore yesterday because I was hoping to update with a clean streak. I didn't have this much trouble going from 1.6 to 2.1. My phone has no third party apps on it as of now. I haven't even set up the Android market yet. Maybe I'll root again and see what I can get done.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
Yay! I got the clockwork recovery, etc. installed via ROM Manager! I flashed the 2.5.0.1 img and rebooted to recovery screen, picked install update.zip on sd card and now am sitting on the black screen. So... whats the fix for this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] xilpaxim:
I sort of had that, and also stuck in a loop at the opening animation. Hold the volume keys when booting up then choose factory reset on the boot menu.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
thir will be an update zip soon so just wait :P have potentially avoided need to flash baseband
[Streak 5 Android Development] Freakernoid:
Yessssss, was waiting for you to said that! Thanks will be waiting patiently, you deserve all the donating you get, including me of course.....
[Streak 5 Android Development] October26:
After running the qdltool, I'm still waiting for my streak to power down. Still twiddling my thumbs for abt 10 mins while staring at the Dell logo on screen...must've made a wrong turn somewhere :(

Maybe, I should remove the battery and go ahead with the fastboot...nah! 5 more minutes...
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheReal666:
i would like to know if i could go to 2.2 right from 1.6 or do i have to go to 2.1 first?
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
theirs nothing to break permanently by trying 1.6-2.2 it can only crash on boot :)_
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
remove the battery flash usualyl takes about 2mins tops
[Streak 5 Android Development] Freakernoid:
hey steve, i said i would waiting patiently but just can't help but ask will you be release the update.zip this week....
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Can't get the drivers to install on Windows 7 (32bit), tried all of them. Mine's called 'Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM' instead of "Qualcomm HS-USB..." too, dunno if that matters :p

Ah well, i'll wait for the update.zip, cheers steve!! :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] October26:
Woot, enjoying froyo :)

Thanks a million!
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
right if anyone wants to TEST the update zip thats still on stock 2.1 baseband (so the GAUSB.... )link is : http://build.streakdroid.com/update-new.zip : it may or may not work

gps is borked on it tho currently
[Streak 5 Android Development] skyfallcinema:
Downloading the .zip now.. hoping for the best!
