[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Works brilliantly, Nice job steve! :D

Here's a few thing's i've noticed:

APNs not set (i think you've already mentioned this)

GPS doesn't work (as you said)

WIFI seems a little odd (could just be my imagination)

Camera doesn't work.

It's great to finally have 2.2 on my Streak though! :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
camera worked when i tried it ?
[Streak 5 Android Development] charlie.s:
Another success here -- flashed the new baseband (using XP, since Win7 x64 was a bust) and the Froyo files. Good show!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
Hmmm, reckon it could be because i flashed it without updating the baseband?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Meltus:
also, just thought i'd say:

Neocore = 32.8 - 33.0 fps

Linpack = 30.32

Quadrant = 807 (at the spinning planet part i saw a 50fps briefly!)

This thing flies!! :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] calin75:
Hot spot feature not working either. Also, swipe version on Rom not working right. It also won't let me update to newer version.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sgeorge:
All seems good except camera isn't working for me. US ATT streak. Crashes on launch. Thanks DJ_Steve!
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
new howto on first post - no need for flashing baseband now :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] JWallstreet:
Installed and running beautifully

Thanks a lot Steve. Works great! I updated from stock US 1.6 with no problems. Only issue I ran into was after I did an Anreboot, device got stuck at the dell logo. Pulled the battery and it booted in 10 seconds.

Also, I am not experiencing a loss in Data connectivity after i disable wifi...

GPS is not working for me.

EDIT: GPS is working properly for me now. Only issue i am experiencing is during reboots. All reboots initiated through ADB shell or Anreboot hang at the dell logo. I need to remove the battery in order to get the device to boot properly.
[Streak 5 Android Development] airicd22:
Rnj7,

Clockwork isnt installed all the way, Im trying to remember exactly what i did. Go into fastboot mode and open the clockwork recovery file you downloaded onto your computer and run on install-recovery-windows, if the streak doesnt say done, than select the other option which is exrtact, then run the file. If you clockwork download doesnt have install-recovery-windows than move it into the clockwork recovery folder from a recovery rom such as 4399.
[Streak 5 Android Development] airicd22:
Make sure you have a cloxkwork recovery file in the sd card.

AU Dell Streak

The AU version of the Dell Streak supplied by Optus uses a different baseband requiring it to be changed before this or any other rom will work, found an excellent guide on whirlpool (Search for HOWTO: Unofficial 2.2 onto Dell Streak) for all the other AU users wanting 2.2 on their Streaks :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
got my streak today (ebay job)

came with 1.6

flashed to 2.1

then straight away to 2.2

it stuck at dell logo.... (shat myself obv)

tried factory reset

all good

installed flash 10.1

watched a vid from bbc (finally flash in my pocket)

THANK YOU

i should point out that its my 1st android device & my cmd skills amount to ipconfig & ping, the occasional tracert...

EXCELLENT guide

THANK YOU
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
Just checked and I think there is a recovery file... recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-streak.img is in the clockworkmod folder on the sd card. Is this what you mean? I did all this by using ROM manager. I cannot get fastboot via pc to work. The only drivers I can install are Android Composite ADB Interface and Original ADB... Is that the issue with fastboot on the pc end and if so, what do I do?
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
Had to extract and run... It worked1 I have on my screen

FASTBOOT_MODE

Download RECOVERY Done!
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
On the ClockworkMod Recovery menu I get E: can't find MISC:

E: can't find MISC:

E: can't find MISC:

I checked the sd card and the update zip is on. I will remove it, download again and add back to the card and try again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Charles::
*edit* after reading another post, it seems like you already have the recovery.alt.img file, you weren't calling it properly in your fastboot command. Notice you were flashing the recovery.img (in your quoted post), instead of the recovery.alt.img file. That's probably the issue.*edit*

You're flashing the recovery.img file, when you should be flashing the recovery.alt.img file.

Go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754563

Get the recovery.ALT.zip, open the zip file, extract the img file, put it in your c:\streak folder (no need to put anything on your SD card), then flash that via fastboot. (fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.alt.img)
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
Thank you very much Charles!

I finally got Froyo running! I had to fight with the phone for a long time but finally won. After I got everything flashed, got the update.zip executed and rebooted- I was stuck on the Dell logo animation loop. I kept telling myself, "There is a way around this". I rebooted many times, did a factory reset and it finally loaded.

I am very impressed!! Love the blue wallpaper. I haven't looked around much otherwise but am about to.

Thank you to all of you who helped me out, couldn't have done it without any of you! Thank you Steve for the hard work and many hours you put into this!
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
can i ask a dumb noob question?

is there anyway to get my text msgs from my old windows phone onto my dell?

i used to use microsoft my phone (aka f**k up my threaded sms :)) to transfer my txt/sms between windows platforms, but i'm guessing this isn't an option on android ;-)

cheer in advance, i realise this is a bit off topic, but didn't think it warranted a whole new thread & couldn't find anything meaningful by searching (which suggests it can't be done)
[Streak 5 Android Development] jvc.silence:
got just errors and bugs from 2.2!......i had to restore back to 2.1....anyway...is good that you are trying steve!;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] ThrashWolf:
Small issue I bumped into, and it's gotten other device users too (N1) rather than just on this rom/device, is that if you change your APN settings, you might notice that when the device tries to use GPS you lose your data connection, and the only way to get it back is to disable GPS and toggle 'enable mobile data.'

The solution is to delete any unused APNs from the APN list, which should sort the issue. It was driving me nuts, and although I haven't seen any other users post about it, I figured I'd share my experience so if anyone else does have this problem, there's a fix on hand.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lufc:
You can take a look at "SMS Migrator" on Android Market.

never tried it myself only one i can think of:)

720p not working for me

anyone having an issue with 720p video. It seems as if the video is recording in lowest VGA possible regardless of what quality and type of video I put it in. Any suggestions?
[Streak 5 Android Development] tltwelve:
for those with AT&T. mine randomly reboots. anyone experience this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
Mine has worked fine. The only thing I have acting up is my desktop screens stopped auto rotating, they stay in portrait but everything else rotates. I dunno if its something I did in ADW or what.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TechnoAce:
AT&T streak here and everything seems to be working fine. No random reboots. Rotation can be a bit slow as others have reported. Battery life for me has been great as well.
[Streak 5 Android Development] jdsemler:
I didn't see JIT specifically called out in the build.prop. Is this ROM JIT enabled?
[Streak 5 Android Development] puchg350:
Works Great in Japanese language

Hi DJ, I finally installed your great work into my Streak. Installing was pretty easy by following your instructions both on this forum and your website. Connecting my bluetooth keyboard was a little tricky, because connecting to it was a bit different from that of 2.1. Changed the system fonts to Japanese. No problem. Please accept my small donation. Many thanks and domo arigato.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nebukadneza:
Same here. Someone wrote that 720p definitly works in 99% of the cases, but I am not sure if he was just able to select it in the camera app or if he actually tried to watch the file on his pc.

I can certainly select 720p, and record with that setting, but I recorded a few videos in different resolutions and watched them on my pc. They are all the same resolution which is 300 something by 200 something.
[Streak 5 Android Development] simplydata:
I have mine for 4 days and have not experienced reboot problem yet.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nebukadneza:
Just recorded 10 second long videos of the same still image in all resolutions, all mpeg4 exept 720p where I also used h263 and h264.

They all have the same resolution (352x288) but vary a little in file size.

So theres definitly no VGA, WVGA or even 720p recording on my device, only CIF seems to work, although changing resolution settings changes the video bitrate.

Is this only a problem with me or is it a problem with the ROM? It would be nice if someone tried that out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
theirs a fix being worked on to provide 720p support
[Streak 5 Android Development] rnj79:
Thank you Steve!

I have sent a donation for your work. Its not much but I'm sure every little bit helps.
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
could someone give me some advise on this please?

rooted device

installed super manager (& listed it as a rooted app within root tool)

copied build.prop to sd card

then copied to PC, opened with notepad, amended denisity value

copied back to sd

then used supermanager to copy amended build.prop to system folder

only it wont... no error msg... simply doesn't update file...

prob me being a driod noob... i expect a flaming... but please note i did try myself !!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
would this be because i'm using the free copy of supermanager?
[Streak 5 Android Development] sukicat:
If you edit it with notepad it normally has a name Build.prop.txt rename it Build.prop inside supermanager.
[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
ATT Streak. phone was just sitting on the table. Noticed that it had come on and was stuck at the dell logo. Seams it rebooted. Had to take the battery out to unfreeze it. Booted normally. First occurrence EVER of it happening.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Volcanodancer:
I've been using it for a week now... loving 2.2 V1.0, but the battery life is really bad on my streak... however - I noticed that the file scanner isn't finding all my MP3's, AND it appears to be running continuously...???

Has anyone else experienced this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
cheers buddy, i did try that, but no joy...
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
LOVED this build

but alas no connectivity with dell pc suite (might have been worth mentioning that on p1..?)

had to go back to 2.1

damn my reliance on calender/notes/contacts

thanks anyway
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
I have flashed back to beta v0.3 purely because of the battery issue and the streak is my main phone.

Eagerly await the next update, hope the camera/video is sorted by then.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Volcanodancer:
I'd love to re-flash to 0.3, but the android market was somewhat broken if I remember rightly which is why I jumped straight to 1.0
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
Yeah I was concerned about it too but it seems to leave the market fix in place if you flash the 0.3 over the 1. Its all still there got skype etc..

But let's hope there's 1.1 on the way :-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] puchg350:
YouTube color issue

There is a green line on top of the screen and the color is very light, sometime it becomes almost black and white when watching YouTube movies. Is there any solution of this issue?
[Streak 5 Android Development] MagixNET:
Don't know if this has been mentioned before or not but i've noticed the market only scrolls down if im in landscape therefore letting me see all the apps, if I hold it in portrait I have no scrolling, is there a solution to this or perhaps just a little bug?

Running v1 on an AU Optus Streak if that makes a difference.

EDIT: Only seems to happen if i'm in portrait when I open Market, if I hold it in landscape and rotate it once market is open it seems to work fine.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bhutch:
I assume you are copying and pasting into the System folder, just be sure you change the little box at the top of the screen from R/O to R/W before you paste.

***OOPS! I was thinking of Root Explorer!! In Super User you have to go into settings first and "enable ROOT function" to be able to write to the root.***

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Along the same lines I have been messing with these settings for a couple of days now and I find that if you set this number higher than 181 it turns the Taskbar Gray. Personally I like the looks or (font size) of 200 to 210 but I would like to get my black taskbar back. Anyone have an idea??
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
Yup changed it to rw access never got it to work..

I managed to delete the original file tho... helped me get some exposure to the recovery process lol

Have gone back to 2.1 cos i need pc sync... missing flash and not feeling the love for the the o2 themes... (fixed icon size tho)

Might look at 3rd party pc sync tool....

Cheers
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
companionlink is supposed to work
[Streak 5 Android Development] wezknowles:
Is it possible to go back to version 2 but keep the market working correctly? Battery is draining so fast on the latest version and I prefer the light colour theme.
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
cheers, did so much love your build over o2 one...

looks great on thier web site... not that cheap ($40 = £25ish) but try b4 i buy at least

Thanks again

PS, re my post where i can't over write build.prop (despite defo rooting device, plus putting supermanager into R/W mode) would i be able to amend the build.prop that's in your update.zip 2.2 build folder, then flash your build & get the build.prop changes i need that way?

thanks again
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yep editinmg the zip shouldwork
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
cheers Steve,

i've been on android litterally hours after years of windows & this is all new to me + i'm an idiot, so any advice to accompany your excellent ROM* work is very much appreciated

Thanks

*they're still called ROMs on andriod right?!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] dazcox5181:
Have to say awesome job on this Steve - I'm meant to be reviewing the Streak for Dell, but they're not letting it out until 2.2 official - so I bought one anyway and was not over impressed with 1.6 or 2.1. With your 2.2 it flies - I got the person at Dell to install it too and they love it as well! (Bet they never credit you though)

Now it's a useful device, so thanks - will donate on payday!

Only issue I have is not sure if battery right or not! Does seem to drain quick, had it die a couple of times but will try the 0.3 version over the V1 as people think that works... dunno - I'm not complaining if I could help fix it I would but my coding skills ain't great so would add more bugs than I fix!

Any chance theres an update due anytime soon that would compile the various tweaks and fixes?
[Streak 5 Android Development] MagixNET:
Is there something specific that causes this battery drain? i'm using v1 and my battery has been great, only down to 50% after 8hrs of fairly high usage.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dazcox5181:
Probably an app I installed causing the drain. Will wipe and investigate

EDIT

Nope, back to 0.3 and still battery draining really quickly. Might start over, or downgrade to 2.1 and see if the problem persists

Edit x2

Back on 2.1 Battery is awesome - been using for an hour, including installing some apps over 3G and on 98%! on 2.2 I'd be hitting 80ish by now... somethings up somewhere dunno what I could have missed - for those not having issues did you overwrite the file init.qcom.post_boot.sh in /system/etc - it was suggested by Stephen that it improved performance but I wonder if thats the issue (Think it changes to _ondemand govenor)
[Streak 5 Android Development] spike192:
The main issue I have is that the orientation sensor is a little touchy!
[Streak 5 Android Development] bimM3rwerks:
Good job getting this ported! However I'm having issues with 2.2 and Exchange. Seems to be a few issues that have been documented with 2.2 and exchange (supposedly fixed in 2.2.1).

Steve if you have a chance can you see if you have/can integrate the fixes listed in link below to your next release?

[Streak 5 Android Development] NoDoze:
Woke up this morning and my streak was off....I think...plugged into AC charger...just a blank black screen, no response. Had to take the battery out/in...booted up normally.

...wierd...
[Streak 5 Android Development] nebukadneza:
Your Streak seems kinda messed up. First no Ultra Keyboard in the market and now this. I would consider a factory reset or even flashing the ROM again afterwards.
[Streak 5 Android Development] handyguy:
Can version 0.3 be directly updated to version 1 just only using the new update.zip and clockwork mod? I want to update but am too lazy to redo everything with flashing and stuff. Thanks. Any help is appreciated.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bhutch:
HDMI out

Hey, has anyone else tried the HDMI out via the docking station? I used it with 1.6 and 2.1 but it doesn't seem to recognize HDMI out now with 2.2. The phone does recognize that it is in the dock and asks to turn off the speaker but no video out.

I don't know if it is related but there is the "This file is audio only." warning on the left side of the screen in the stock player, although the Rock Player plays normally.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spleisher:
Just a couple of quick observations that may be helpful. If not, at least that is the spirit in which they are intended.

For me, the random reboot issue doesn't appear to be very random. I know this may sound nuts, but my device has now shut down on its own somewhere in the neighborhood of 11:45 - noon eastern time for about thelast 4 days in a row. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but I am just reporting what is happening.

Also, I am sure this is known, but the wacky color issue in video is not just on YouTube. In the Engadget app, for example, colors are off and you het the "audio only" message on the screen.

Finally, I have had pretty good battery life overall. In fact, I have only had crazy battery drain once, and it just happens it was the only time I left it both unplugged and idle for a long period or time. (Overnight). Wen to bed at 75% around midnight. I use 'battery snap' for battery reporting and it looks like it sorta flat lined at 70% sometime in the middle of the night, and then was fully dead at 5:30 AM. So it looks as if the battery stopped reporting properly as well while this was ongoing. Other than that one time, no battery issues here. Again though, on mine at least it seems as if it was relate to it being idle... maybe.

Anyway just some thoughts and observations. Thanks again for bringing us Froyo long before Dell!
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
not wishing to sound moay... but a new one i think...

when i play music it plays fine, but when i pause the song - then press play again, it claims the file type is not supported (m4a) & wont re-play, but will skip to the next track ok...

anyone else have this? anyone got a fix? will a reset fix it? (i did a reset after flashing already...)
[Streak 5 Android Development] bhutch:
I have this as well.

bdh:confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
deffo worked in 2.1 / 1.6

i got some freebie from the market that works... i haven't got a clue how to fix this...

do you know if this is a m4a file issue of all music files?

2.1 plays my music but not my flash, 2.2 wont sync to pc, play my music but will play flash, kinda reminds me of winmo ;)

obvioulsy 2.2 is Steve's hard work & w/out him we'd have nothing so please no one think i'm moaning to much, just making light of the situation!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Devil-D:
Hey Steve, could you do me (and i think a LOT more!) a favor and include a file-manager in the next build? Like ASTRO-manager of whatever.... Because it`s so much easier to get started with. Would be great mate! Thanks in advance....

(is there by any chance a custom rom in the making?, i would like to have a black.dark blue ROM of this FRoyo, because it`s VERY good!!)...
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ_Steve:
yea its on my todo list :) tryign a compile of cm6 at min (again
[Streak 5 Android Development] jf1288:
miui rom

has anybody taken a look at the miui rom? its amazing..
[Streak 5 Android Development] rebski:
Thanks for the info. I have checked out the various YouTubes. It is great to have choice, this is one of the reasons that draws us to all things Linux.

My impression of Miui is best summarised by a pertinent comment in one of the YouTubes "Aha, this is for those who have switched to Android, but still want an iphone UI."

Since I personally am one of those who describes the Android interface as being superior to the iPhone it is unlikely that I will be adopting it.

Having said that I am not dismissing it. I know several people who could be persuaded to consider a Streak for the larger screen size but who would baulk at coming to terms with a new Os. For them this could be an ideal solution.
[Streak 5 Android Development] KDerrida:
Dude, Steve and I discussed a fix like a week ago in this thread.
[Streak 5 Android Development] adzman808:
cheers dude,

was there a fix tho? - i though you just discussed the problem or did the thing steve suggested work?
[Streak 5 Android Development] molotov_sh:
You Sir are an effing genius. Really really fast.

Maybe time for a FAQ for things like miscellaneous bugs/advise factory reset (since the update would make anything on /data useless anyway).

Now if the fecking Market was letting me download stuff :( (seems to be a wider problem - I have a wildfire and a milestone both exhibiting the same behaviour).

EDIT: Camera and Camcorder (with 720p) working fine for me. Annoying 5 minute limitation to submit an edit...

EDIT2: APNs are working fine too.

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] KDerrida:
There was a fix, but it was limited to pausing with the screen turned on.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Spleisher:
Rebooted again today about 11:55 AM (and two or three more times since). Never had it happen when in use. Always seems to blow up on wake for some reason. Anyway, not complaining, just bug reporting as I see 'em.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cypher84:
cm6 would be awesome, looking forward to it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] handyguy:
Steve says a wipe of data is highly recommended i did this from clockwork mod and the dell factory reset before i updated from 0.3 to 1.0 but my market still isnt working. Are we supposed to do a factory reset after 1.0 is installed too? Any help is appreciated, thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MagixNET:
I did a factory reset before and after the upgrade just to be sure.
[Streak 5 Android Development] handyguy:
Thanks but it didn/t help. I just did one from clockwork and then my phone wouldn't boot. Then i did the default dell factory reset and my phone booted, but it still wont show apps like google voice or skype or evernote. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really need these apps cause i used to use google voice and evernote on a daily basis. Thanks beforehand.
