May i remind you guys that a dark wallpaper doen't actually save you any battery?

And any installed mods that read your battery-status or shows the weather are consuming more battery (although battery-status is pretty handy)

The best thing you can do is to set the darkest brightness your phone has.

But a have to admit that there are a few very nice wallpapers out here.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] navjot94:
on a super amoled screen, dark colors actually do save battery...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Braneless:
How long do you actually sit with home screen and wallpaper displayed?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Braneless:
I know that this is an ancient post, but a lot of people here don't understand the concept of power-saving wallpaper. The point is to display as much pure black as possible, so the screen doesn't have to power up to display colors in an image.

Many walls in this thread are very colorful or include shades of gray or lighter black. These are doing next to nothing for battery conservation.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Braneless:
These are examples of power-saving wallpapers, although the savings are minimal due to the graphics.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ellesshoo:
I can't remember where I got this one but I've used it for almost as long as I've had the GN (December) which is longer than I've ever maintained the same wallpaper as far as I know. It's perfect in my eyes because I like things like geography/time/far away places/world info, it's dark but not boring like a texture, doesn't make a loud personal statement with some stupid fruity text or pop culture reference, isn't distracting behind translucent widgets or icons with an alpha channel, and provides good contrast to my minimalist tastes in icons and widgets.... Timeless.

[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Speed and overall better rom
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Speed and overall better rom and it's pre-rooted.

You need to read a whole lot of threads and decide whether you need the features of the custom rom. I personally like the stock 2.2 (baseband 318) with the perfmod applied.
[Streak 5 General] trexc832:
Whats the perfmod?
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I personally like the custom rom updated by Steve and it just keeps getting better and better. Att users are still waiting for there froyo. We might have honeycomb by the time froyo hits Att.

[Streak 5 General] startluvova:
How safe is it having one chef for this rom? I've had bad experiences with HTC roms and chefs from the UK... since some of them are from Poland, Nigeria, and China using UK ip addresses/proxies. I'm just being cautious and it's a question that comes up from time to time on forums so don't judge me. We can look to some of our talented youths at MIT and Columbia that find exploits in their free time for class credit or a mention in a mag - lord knows what could be hidden in a custom rom - I don't want my phone to be part of the first mobile botnet... you know it's coming as soon as those dual-core processor handsets are deployed.
[Streak 5 General] zoftdev:
I had used StreakDroid 1.5 1.6 1.7 for a week.

The most different I found is the dungeon defender is laggy than stock 2.2

Angry bird in stock rom use lower battery .

I think streakdroid not fully use 100% hardware gpu.
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
.always make me laugh when people make accusations/make sweeping general comments without putting any proof whatsoever on the table.

Are you sure that angry birds didnt use more battery because of apps you installed? what else did you have running in the background? facebook? twitter? email?
[Streak 5 General] zoftdev:
angry bird is hard to prove, but you can very noticeable when start dungeon defender. The start logo & title is laggy frame by frame . But stock has no lag at all. I test by fresh 1.7 vs fresh stock 319.

Please test by yourself .
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
Steve's ROMs are great for what they are, but I don't notice any real world performance gain over the stock Froyo ROMs. Yes, Steve's Froyo was a MASSIVE improvement over 1.6 and 2.1, but people on this forum seem to keep the mentality that it is still a huge improvement over stock 2.2. Yes quadrant scores are higher but I'm talking about a noticeable improvement in overall performance.

The number one thing that keeps me coming back to official Dell ROMs is the in-call volume. In all of Steve's ROMs no the volume is either quiet or loud, as I increase the volume there is no change until I get to about 33% and then is seems like the increase kicks in and the volume kind of doubles. There is no point where it is comfortable for me to make a phone call. With the stock Dell 2.2 ROM in-call volume works perfectly.

I know it's a small thing, but I use the Streak as my primary phone and if I can't comfortably use it as a phone then that's a deal breaker for me.

Krisbo
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
The overall smoothness of the OS is much better on streakdroid for me. Scrolling through apps and screens. Going between apps is quick on streakdroid. To me its a hugely noticeable increase. Plus he ability to overclock/underclock the cpu helps with speed and power. On stock froyo it just felt a little clunky and laggy.

Dell Streak powered by StreakDroid 1.7.0
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
+1 usung streakdroid 1.7 I find it to be really slick. moving between screens(no matter which home replacement app i use), really responsive. I like the quick reboot time as well, much less frustrating than stock.

As for games being laggy, i havent noticed any difference in angry birds, not one bit. As for dungeon defender, I dont play it, so couldnt tell. I wont pretend to know everything about something i havent installed and used.

As for quadrant scores? well I dont really pay them much attention. they arent the be all and end-all, but neither should they be summarily discounted.

I have used build 322, 318 with and without the performance tweaks. Streakdroid feels better everytime.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
How exactly does the overclocked kernel help with power??? I'm not one bit interested in overclocking abut I always have SetCPU underclocking profiles running e.g. screen off 245 powersave. Stock Froyo allows underclocking just as easily as Steve's ROM.

I'm using 322 and I use a LOT of widgets and ADW Launcher EX runs butter smooth for me with no stuttering at all. Stage UI stutters a little although it also does exactly the same thing in Steve's ROM, proving that the fault lies in Dell's launcher.

Everything works with the stock ROM and there's no constant force closes. Steve has done an excellent job over time to iron out the bugs but I just don't think he's there yet.
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
If you are having constant force-closes with Steves Roms, then why aren't I? Quite often the reason people have problems with steves Roms is because they dont read and follow the instructions. Just as PC's; quite often the problem is between chair and computer.

There are quite a few of us that have Steves Rom running nice and slick, with NO problems whatsoever. My streak is my only phone, I use it for work. I don't do anything special when a new Rom comes out. I make a nandroid backup, clear Dalvik, and flash the new Rom. Sometimes I also do a factory reset. I'm not a tech boffin either. I just follow the instrctions 100%. If it was 'Constantly force-closing', how would I take important calls? My business would collapse if I had a faulty phone/software.

I am glad you are so so happy with stock. perhaps that is best for you, I just prefer giving my streak the ability to fly.

pleae, give examples of the 'constantly force-closing' episodes.
[Streak 5 General] Krisbo:
Read the release thread and see for yourself that it is not just me having issues with Steve's ROMs. If there were "NO problems whatsoever" with the ROM then why is it updated so frequently? There's still issues with compatibility with various games and changing the LCD density still seems to cause even more FCs. That last point is particularly relevant to me as I run my Streak with an LCD density of 200.

Again, Steve has done some excellent work but it's just not there yet for me. I'm actually one of Steve's Beta testers (and one of his biggest fans) and thus one of the first in line to help him out by reporting various bugs.

Please stop getting defensive by making ill-informed claims that this ROM is perfect and say something that might be helpful to others.

Bottom line, if you install Steve's ROM at this time you are likely to run into some issues.

ok i got a droid 2 and it only goes to the motorola symbol screen and then shuts back off and starts up again and it will sometimes say the bootloader isnt working
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Did you get this phone from Verizon or did you buy it from a third party? If you got it from Verizon, take the phone back and get a new one. If you didn't, then try flashing an SBF.

Here are the instructions on how to do that:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770224

I believe the download there isn't working, so you can download the sbf from here:

hxxp://www.droid-life.com/2010/11/01/droid-2-sbf-released-for-2-3-20-update/ (replace xx with tt)

BE SURE after you flash the SBF to hold X on the keyboard and your power button to boot into recovery and wipe your data and cache or you will be stuck in a bootloop, and after your phone boots up you will need to reactivate it, but it should do that for you when you sign into google.

Hopefully this will solve your problem. If not, check back and maybe someone else can be of further help.

My wife's car stereo got stolen a few weeks ago. When shopping we saw a new stereo with a usb port. We got it, I was thinking it would be great, one cable to charge and play music at the same time (Instead of an audio cable and a cigarette charger) We plugged in the usb cable which came with her mytouch 4g phone plugged the mini usb into her phone and the usb into the stereo and set the stereo to usb and the mytouch played music over it's own speaker... I tried it in charge only, disk storage, and usb tethering. None of them worked. When I put it in disk drive mode it wouldn't play any music at all, instead saying to mount the SD card. Can this be made to work?

(NOTE: It's a Sumas Media SM-868CD car stereo)

[myTouch 4G General] dominicanman912:
that would NEVER work. the usb on the mytouch4g is for charging and data ONLY. you would have to buy a stereo with an AUXILLIARY jack. then you need an auxilliary cord that is 3.5mm on the phone end and whatever size you need for the stereo. im my case, just a double ended 3.5mm cord. cost me like $2. plug one end in the HEADPHONE jack and the other end in the car stereo and PRESTO, you have music through your phone to your stereo. (just make sure your stereo is on AUX mode)
[myTouch 4G General] syaoran68:
best way to have done it for that would when you plug the phone into the stereo it will ask to toggle the usb for the SD card. just set to usb disk and hopefully the stereo picks it up. once it does then just browse through the stereo for the music.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
That depends on the stereo, some of them are are made for either generic file grouping or iOS products.

Exactly, My car stereo 'sees' my MT4G via USB connection just fine, it does depend on the stereo though. I have the Sony MEX-BT3800U.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
You're going to need a name-brand HU for it to be able to browse the phone's sdcard. Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine, etc. I'm personally a fan of Alpine.

Or you do it the easy way and just buy a cheap adapter to convert the cd changer port of the HU to a basic aux cable.

Like so.
