[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
Maybe the streak is not the phone for you. I know the screen on the evo is not as clear but i made my call based on over all functionality of the device. The speed of the apps opening is based on the OS and its not much of a difference. I say the evo was the best phone because it made the screen size and resolution be noticed by the industry and plus the phone worked correctly. No antenna issues or gps issues or any other massive issues. As a phone the iphone 4 doesn't perform as good as the competition. As a pda its slightly snapper than the competition but not as flexible due to the lack of customization options. A screen can only do so much for a cell phone. It must be able to complete all tasks it was designed to perform as it supposed to out of the box with no form of enhancements or modifications. The Evo does what its asked. I'm not on sprint but i'm really being honest and unbiased.
[Streak 5 General] neotarum:
It's ok comparing phones but also think about the costs as well.

I chose Streak because of the obvious features mentioned above, but also something that has been missed - the cost! I wanted the Iphone 4, but felt unfair that I was expected to pay £180 more (Dell Streak was free on same contract) for a phone that had basic design flaw - that I had to keep in a case at all times so I don't lose reception!! Seriously!?

So in summary, compare prices too. Apple is clever in this way.

I have obtained my Streak for nothing - on contract. So even if I sell it for £200 second hand, I don't mind. However, with the iphone, I had to spend £180 on the same contract. If I then wanted to sell my iphone, I would want at least that back and a bit more - so when compared to streak that value is £380!!

This is I believe, fair comparison as in both cases I made a "profit" of £200.

Also just to say I am one of those (Hopefully majority) that say fu to the critics.
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
We got a cheap, unlocked iphone4 from a contract in HK. Sold it right away. P.T. Barnum said it well "there is a sucker born every minute". I am rather happy those fruity fanboys exist.
[Streak 5 General] kitzuki:
This is probably one of the most fastest device I have ever used one android so far my only gripe is my battery life I lose! 4per minuteit seems on usage
[Streak 5 General] Azamatka:
Some kids just don't understand why the piece of extremely expensive but nice but totally mediocre electronics, popular, loved and adored by early exclusive hands-on prealpha supersecret reviews can actually be really useless and outdated. That's why they don't get the idea why the iphone sucks big time.

I do love apple and would want this company to become even better. That' why I never buy their products. I really love Dell and think that mr. Michael Dell is the real hero of modern open low-cost computing era. That's why I buy Dell products.

Cheers, Dell, I've never seen anything like the Streak! And mr mossburg or whatever his name is...I wish he had better understanding of his position and maybe even influence.

PS. DG, if you want some extra mirror space check the download speed for Axura in my sig. Shoot me a PM if you would like me to set you up a FTP account with a couple gig of storage.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Yes, it will have a prerequisite of anything with voodoo enabled. From there you just flash a zip and boot.

Its not a perfect 1zip install from anything, yet...

[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
EXTREMELY EXCITED.

Have been waiting for this!

So all I need to do please correct me if Im wrong is flash any other ROM such as Perecption or Cognition ect. Or just install the latest Voodoo Lag Fix. Then just flash this also on top of that through Clockwork?

Thanks and PLEASE correct me if im wrong here.
[Captivate Android Development] whirly:
Personally if i were you i would wait for a more stable release, theres has been vast improvements in the kernel up till now but its still not ready for day to day use for everyone, plus if your unsure how to install it then you probably shouldn't ! But if you must :D, the method i used was flashed back to stock, gsm reset (code=*2767*3855#) which wipes all your memory, then flash darkys rom v7 and enable voodoo after phone boots and reboot it, then flash the gb kernel through clockwork recovery.... also i had to reboot the phone after installing the kernel to get 3g working...good luck
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Consumers of ROMS sometimes forget that devs have family too.

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to you and your family. Wish the same to all the devs.:):)

[Captivate Android Development] slmhofy:
Thanks DG! Happy Holidays to everyone. Cant wait for more stable version too.
[Captivate Android Development] bambamboom:
woot woot. finally a method i could do!! this does leave me some questions though.

is it possible to just flash to stock 2.2 (instead of a custom rom), install voodoo5, and than install the zip through rom manager?

http://project-voodoo.org/download

the voodoo stable 5.0, is that for the captivate? just making sure, dont want to download something thats for the i9000.

and lastly! if anything goes wrong, flashing one click odin will solve everything correct? all the changes (aka the eff ups) i made should return to stock settings?

sooo excited!!

edit. to eleborate on my voodoo worries.

will reflashing with odin to stock, change my kernal back to the stock one or will it keep voodoo? just wondering because i was wondering if its required that i disable (or uninstall) voodoo before i use odin to restore or could i just use odin after testing the rom out without any disabling/enabling.

edit 2:

shoot forgot to ask, what are the usb files for? im gut tells me their the files needed for the comp to recognize the captivate after flashing. and second, does this require a root? and this is the LOL question, could i just rename the 2.3 file a "update.zip" and install it like that or do i have to do the whole clockwork thing. Six question. geez im dumb.

Merry Xmas!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Haha... I am working on stuff with it, very little stuff...
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
This should be in bigger font, i didn't realize what a pita it is to get into download mode without adb commands.

Couldn't you just download QuickBoot to get back to download mode...

[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
I was running original V6 (from the i9000 section I grabbed allthe updates it didnt brick anything care to mention what is different in this version ? I also flashed from a basic all ext 4 partition using seti's kernel so I wonder why the specific need for a voodoo kernel . nonetheless thx for this !
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
Haven't tried that, did it work for you?

Btw dg is it me or are you wiping the phone in the update script? That totally defeats the purpose of supercurio's dualboot kernel if you want to get back to your previous setup without reinstalling everything.

And if you do want ditch this tech demo you have to get into download mode anyway and flash either jf6 or a kernel, think it would of been better if you didn't wipe the phone and made instructions on how to get back to the previous setup by flashing the previously installed kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Sebring5:
will not work
[Captivate Android Development] pkley:
I'm not bitter if you're having a nice holiday, it's called free will baby!

Oh and please enjoy it, don't bother trying to nice it up by changing the name and expecting us to party with you! It's YOUR holiday, go and have a good time, we're fine over here (especially with the Gingerbread goodies!).

Personally, I'm having a GREAT day, thanks for the day off!

[Captivate Android Development] bambamboom:
did a fresh restore of 2.1. loaded up cog than loaded up 2.3

everything went perfectly except im getting constant reboots. every few minutes or when the screen turns off. 2.3 is def snazzy.

quick question, when you release updated zips, how do we go about updating? do we have to start from the beginning (fresh restore, cogs, than 2.3) everytime a new build of 2.3 releases?
[Captivate Android Development] rastanthology:
I've read on the nexus s forum that usb otg is enabled on their kernel by default; did anyone tried if this feature is working? it would rock to have usb otg :D
[Captivate Android Development] loganfynne:
Is there any way to replace su with a working version, without flashing a new ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
yes, working on that right now.
[Captivate Android Development] darvo:
Does it get installed in parallel with froyo? If so, can you provide separate kernel so we can go back and forth easily?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
no, its single boot right now.

That will be coming soon too :)

Just did some reading on this, I wont be doing that, it will just cause more confusion.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
So I can install this with CWM? Or do I still need to do all those adb commands?
[Captivate Android Development] Sebring5:
After you install this you can download SU from the market. That's what I did. Here is supercurio's statement on the matter:

"V6

- Easy root. You only need to install Superuser app from Market."

Nexus 1 is a developer's phone and once you install v6, Market will read you as a Nexus 1 phone. In fact, Samsung will ask you to register your "new" phone for free "premium" services and give you a special toll free phone line for expedited customer service. I do not recommend doing this. You will get OTA updates for Google apps that you can accept. That works. When offered, you do not want to download any OTA software updates for Gingerbead itself. That will not work.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Updates

Merry Christmas first of all!

However another user mentioned this and I was very intrigued by it, but no one answered him.

But he was talking about how when we do flash a Custom ROM such as Perception 9.5, then through Clockwork install the GB Kernel when updates come out will we have to back up, flash back to stock, reinstall custom, reflash Kernel? OR!

Could we just flash the updates on top of each other until this becomes completely stable?

Thanks and sorry for semi-reposting what someone already asked but I just felt that it was a really intriguing question (at least for me : D) and since no one answered I was trying to get one for himself and Il.

Merry Christmas to everyone! And a happy happy new year to your familys and friends.
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
DG,

I shot you a PM with FTP/Mirror info.

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If you go the normal route, then you can go back and forth at the flash of a kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] darvo:
First post seems clear enough about that. You just need to flash on top of 2.2 ROM with Voodoo enable. No separate kernel flashing or going back to stock is required, just flash the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] DREWSASTER:
Sweet

Cant wait for a stable build :) does this have swype installed?
[Captivate Android Development] darvo:
Wow! Can't you read first post?
[Captivate Android Development] wvumaniac79:
Trying to get the courage to flash this...I have 3 button combo working, I'm just too nervous it just wont work all the sudden
[Captivate Android Development] vampiriclover:
Don't know if it was posted, but...

If anyone has problems with getting into download mode to flash back to stock, simply take the battery out and put it back in. Hold the volume buttons and plug in the usb to the pc and it should work. Again, sorry if this was already posted.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
If they dont know that they should be in here flashing it in the first place ;)
[Captivate Android Development] peachpuff:
If you install it the way it was meant to be installed you can go back and forth if you flash the kernel that you're currently using. No idea why dg is wiping the phone and doesn't allow you to do this, shouldn't of been packaged like that imo.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Lol no just not that brave I will wait till I exchange my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Need to know one thing before I get the guts to try this. Is BT working good? Some local laws in towns around me make it so I have to have BT. I did not see a not about it being a issue but I wanted to make sure.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
Actually that didn't work for me....so if anyone else has the problem and the above method fails for your try what i did below.

I had never had problem entering download mode prior to this btw.

Fortunately when the above method failed multiple times..... after playing i got the following to work.

1. Remove Battery

2. Plug phone into usb.

3. Hold vol up/down toggle

4. While still holding vol up/down plug the battery in. When the battery hit its connections i was nearly immediately zipped into download mode.

build = 1007
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Yeah. I was wondering this too. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It will wipe out all of the gingerbread stuff, I now have dual booting working fine so you can run it along side froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Yeah, but when there's a new Gingerbread rom (v7), do we have start over from stock, or can we just keep flashing the new over the old (no dual boot).
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hey DG could you answer that for us yet or no?

I understand the whole process about flashing a 2.2 Custom ROM such as Perception 9.5, then thru Clockwork flashing the GB Kernel. But when Updates DO release do we actually have to flash to stock reflash Perception then put the updated kernel through Clockwork again?

Or can we just flash updates on top of each other through Clockwork?

Thanks and Happy Holidays
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Just keep flashing over

Right now all of the updates are in the kernel, minus stuff I am doing to make the dump play with the captivate a bit better. I will do my best to make updates that dont wipe along with the full flashes. No promises tho, this is just a tech demo.

-----

Build-2 is live!
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Alright perfect so when V7 comes out we can just flash it right over V6? Anything different we need to do? Like kernel wise? Or just keep on flashing through Clockwork over a ROM such as Perception?

I am running Perception 9.5 with V6 and flashed that through Clockwork. So when V7 comes and hopefully more updates come we can just flash over?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I would flash stock, then rom of your choosing, then gb port build-2...

with dual booting, you just need to flash a 2.2 kernel and it will boot you into froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Thats very cool so moving from a 2.2 kernel to a 2.3 kernel is really that easy?

so if I were to right now with the GB Kernel v6 to flash any 2.2 Kernel it will switch to 2.2, then visa versa with 2.3?

Awesome
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
yup, pretty cool... supercurio made that happen
[Captivate Android Development] JamieD81:
running build 2, no more random reboots, can turn the screen on and off without reboot, have 3g working fine downloading apps from market, superuser works perfect *using TB* right now to restore apps* loving it sofar!

edit:

i post this and it reboots LOL *left screen on and it went to sleep and att screen poped up*

edit 2:

false alarm seems my battery died :P the big red X should have been an indication my bad :P

on with testing

daaamnnn apps on the market download and install stupid fast!

couple apps dont like gingerbread sofar but other then that, might keep this as daily and follow progress!

[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Dual booting... cool stuff. every thread on this gets shut down because it gets confused with the hd2 dual booting with android and winmo, I have no interslest in that. So now I have to ask... can you dual boot 2 different froyo builds? That would be both cool and useful.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Hmm I can't get into recovery mode using the 3 button combo anymore any idea as to why?

just like nothing happened ...I m still running my same rom.

only me ?
[Captivate Android Development] bambamboom:
sorry, i've been looking at that for the past ten minutes to try to understand.

so if its going from v6 build to ANOTHER build, you just flash over without starting from the beginning? but if its v6 to v7 to recommend restoring, loading cog, than 2.3? is that right? cause right now, i figured you meant it was okay to load updated builds (like v6 build 1 to build 3) and updated versions (v6 to v7 in the future) by just moving to sd, going clockwork, and than restoring.

just want the answer straight from the devs mouth so i dont mess anything up :)
[Captivate Android Development] jdbeitz:
Testing build v6build3 now. I had a problem flashing build 2. It just sat on the ATT screen. Lagfix WAS enabled. Also, I'm not sure how to use the dual boot... but this isnt a support thread so i wont ask :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
nexus s ROM doesn't have recovery (unless something changed since the last time I looked), you can only get into download mode. and unfortunately adb commands won't get you there, which is why you need 3 button for download mode to use this
[Captivate Android Development] beavisrp:
For those of you who have problems with long wait signal times try to switch the airplane mode on and off.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Hey DG: Did you try the new Neldar's app to flash the kernels? I was thinking it could be a solution for those that can't do 3-button downloads to revert.
