hi i installed 1.8.1 without perfmod, how would I enable it if I chosse to use it? Would i have to factory reset and change the install.txt to incluse perfmod. or just change the .txt only? Or would I have to reflash the rom also?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Emission:
Going back to stock 2.2.

The problems with settings not sticking showed up again after a fresh flash, cannot say for sure what it is.

And I'm convinced that perfmod drains battery, as I could swear I was getting better life from the stock rom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] paul89:
is this rom rusing defaulf lcd density? or has dj steve made it higher res?

Or you could just do it the easy way and go straight from stock 318 to 1.8.1 and have it run perfectly. Just reboot twice after 181 finishes installing.
[Streak 5 Android Development] bash_array:
If you already have 181 flashed, doing a factory reset will just take you to a fresh 181. No, you shouldn't have to start from scratch. Try reset firstfirst

I have the "words with friends" app on my phone with lots of games in session. currenly i'm on 1.6.1, will i lose all my current games thats going on right now in "words with friends" when i flash to 1.8.1? thanks!

Having went from 1.8.1 + perfmod (at stock speeds/configuration) back to my rooted 2.2 stock I'm seeing better battery life, substantially better, even with 3g data on.

I'm almost convinced that it's perfmod, if not the rom itself.

just flashed 1.8.1 from 1.6.1, quadrent scores are 1853. everything running good so far. on complaint i have is my icons and whatnot seems a lil bigger then before? does that have to do with all those density options?
[Streak 5 Android Development] defcon.666:
yes density option.
[Streak 5 Android Development] izzykareem:
very very happy.

I never reported back after my initial troubles with 1.8.0 (which seemed to be from my extreme over clocking foray)... so i went back to 1.5.1, factory reset, cleared every cache available, and then went to 1.6.0 with the "noapps" option.

then 1.6.1 -> 1.7.0 -> 1.8.0 and for over a week, i have not had a reboot.

just went straight to 1.8.1 now and just clicking around into different apps the phone is the zippiest phone ive ever used and ive got it underclocked a bit. menus, apps and settings screen zoom up and down, in and out.

great great work again Steve
[Streak 5 Android Development] itsjdmyo:
so is the smaller the density, the smaller the icons will be? and vise versa?
[Streak 5 Android Development] borijess:
Correct smaller density means smaller icons.

another question, how to load the baseband? from fastboot?

baseband loading is from fastboot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] brucealeg:
As of 1.7x onwards the only way I can get stable most of the time is to update, then factory reset. I'm ok with this, but none of the recommended backup packages seem capable of restoring app data. I've tried Titanium and the Dell package.

Does anyone know how to get app data restored successfully? I hate setting up all my clients and settings in my apps after an update.

As an FYI I'm resetting cause on 1.7 and 1.8 the upgraded knocked out wifi and caused reboots. On 1.8.1 3G was disabled and could not be enabled and there was some reboots, but not to many. A factory reset seems to get the phone right, still testing long term stability.

Locked ATT model. 1.6.1 has never had an issue, FYI also.
[Streak 5 Android Development] itsjdmyo:
Is it me or the battery performance seemed to be significantly reduced in 1.8.1?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Cyberburnout:
After a few initial issues 1.8.1 seems to be running pretty good now.

First night battery died overnight in standby. Lasting all day since.

FC on first boot only one since then.

Still not sure if its the software or something is wrong with my phone to make calls drop randomly.

Hit 2600 on with small OC and perfmod. 2000 with just perfmod.

Overall Im happy with it.

Error-18 fixed with unmounting sdcard-installing app- then remounting

Stuck in landscape fixed by installing any laucher other then GB.

So thanks Steve Good work on fixing 1.8 so quickly. Hope to see Android 3.0 on the streak soon.

WiFi

Has anyone been able to get their WiFi to work consistently? I'm on 1.8 and my WiFi keeps giving me an error message (not a real message, just "error") every time I try to turn it on. I've tried every suggestion and it has only turned on when I initially upgraded to 1.8 and nothing since. I've factory reset, reinstalled, wiped Dalvick, everything.

Any help is so much appreciated.
[Streak 5 Android Development] vasishta.sushant:
Tried the 1.8.1 and it worked like a charm. 309 -> 318 -> 1.8.1

Got scores in the tune of 1900 on quadrant standard. Defaul wallpaper was fantastic and the overall responsivness was very good.

But few things I didn't like were the addedd applications, the haziness in overall, blurry fonts. Then there were some problems of lost signal, applications not being able to access internet even with full EDGE signal.

Tried it for like 10 hours and then flashed back to stock 318 with performance updates.

I guess I'll stick to simple stuff. Uninstalled dell's junk, installed Launcher Plus PRO, rooted the phone, installed defender juice with ultimate juice and I am all set.
[Streak 5 Android Development] paul89:

Brightness Control not working

Flashed 1.8.1. on my Unlocked Streak with 2.2, 318 baseband.

Everything seems to be working fine except my brightness control.

It is not changing the brightness correctly. Every time I change it it goes back to same setting after I lock and then unlock the screen happening from both Extended Controls toggle and from Settings-> Display. Though it maintains the same brightness if it is lowered from Clock.

Used to work correctly previously :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] paul89:
I had the sam issue...do a factory reset within the rom

hey guys, i upgraded from 2.2 baseband 305 to steve's 1.8.1, and i'm just wondering if with this new upgrade would remove the 30fps limit, because i've ran benchmarks on it for example, on neocore and i get about 28-29fps.

so i'm wondering if i did anything wrong, like maybe i had to go from baseband 305 to 318 then 1.8.1? sorry i'm a noob :\

thank you very very much in advance :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] strvmarv:
Did you flash steve's baseband from page 1 of this post?
[Streak 5 Android Development] defcon.666:
how about battery life? how long is your streak last? what is your CPU speed? any crash or FC at all?

Sorry I ask so many things. I have reverted back to 2.2 due to short battery life in 1.8.1 I was just wondering is it just me that have that problem.

my phone would last only about 5-6 hours on standby, thats right standby I didnt press anything and I didnt do anything. wifi was off and no auto sync.

my battery decrease by 1% every 4 minutes.

I hate my stock 2.2, it's slow and laggy but at least I can use it a lot longer.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Emission:
Sounds similar to the route I took, went back to 318 with root and I was able to last for a full 24 hours with mostly standby + 3g on the whole time and a few hours of moderate usage. Seems like its mostly the screen that uses a lot of juice, which makes sense. I do seem to be getting better life than I did with 1.8.1 and perfmod though. The settings sticking was a deal breaker for me, its hard to tell what the problem was and it was really frustrating having no definite way of fixing other than a reboot, which is going too far in my opinion.
[Streak 5 Android Development] paul89:
my battery is only lasting 9 hrs with low usage. Kinda sucks, but i would tak a fast and non laggy phone over long battery life any day. I know battery life can only get better with more updates :0
[Streak 5 Android Development] over2land:
So I just tried a factory reset on 1.8.1 thinking that might fix the wifi/data switch problem. And it did. I was able to do maps and internet and market with aplomb with either wifi or data.

Then I shutdown/rebooted.

Now I'm right back where I was with the old "A network error has occured. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous session" error in market. And the old "page not found" error in browser.

Weird thing is, maps still loads. ie, it can go to the internet. Shows the H indicator and the upload/download arrows, but it only actually goes to the network for maps. Not market nor browser. I never noticed maps worked... I primarily was trying to use browser or market.

I get the same errors if I boot it on data and try to switch to wifi.

Hopefully this new data helps.

No perfmod btw.

I was having wifi issues with 1.8.1 so did a factory reset. It fixed the wifi but now I have some oddness.

Gmail application shows I have 1 unread but won't display it and the Facebook widget FCs on me when I try to login. Market tells me there's an updated Facebook app but the only option is the open it, not download.

Not convinced that setcpu really gains anything much - I'm getting Quadrant 2250 with just perfmod.

I would recommend re-flashing 1.8.1 after doing the factory reset.

Finally got round to 1.8.1 last night and all seems good, though I didnt have any of the reported issues with 1.8 besides some of the settings not sticking, well see how this goes. Deleted the new music player, cant seem to get on with it so just use MusicMod looks awesome with the LWP behind the controls. Battery is still really good for me 24 hours of serious abuse, gaming, flashing mods browsing and music on bt.

Thanks again Steve, keep em coming..
[Streak 5 Android Development] nebukadneza:
I have exactly the same problem. It only does it when the screen is of before removing it from the dock. Never had that problem with 1.7.

edit: Solved it, kind of... Just delete the DeskClock App from the /system/apps folder and its fine. I did that on 1.7 too, because the clock messes up the sound output. No matter what I set it to, sometimes I hear the phone ring sometimes I don´t.
[Streak 5 Android Development] elmanortega:
nice and clean man congrats

totally different than stock
[Streak 5 Android Development] p_razzi:
Isn't that kind of a requirement? I mean, factory reset wiped everything.

I might still do it again though. Even after the reset, 1.8.1 reinstall, clearing some application caches to resolve gmail and facebook problems, the phone is more unstable than I've ever had it. Had 4 random reboots already today, one mid call.

I am trying hard to get Data and WiFi both working in 1.8.1 and I just cannot do it.

My install.txt contains:

us160

adwlauncher

(I am starting from a fresh install of 1.8.1 which had no WiFi.)

What I just tried:

1) Boot into FastBoot

2) Ran FastBoot with "recovery.stock.new.img"

3) Booted into Dell's recovery.

4) Choose option 2 to restore "Streak_340_14844_31.pkg" as "Update.pkg"

5) After ROM restored, booted completely then powered off without unlocking.

6) Booted into Dell recovery, Choose "Factory Reset"

7) Booted into FastBoot

8) Ran FastBoot installed ClockWork v0.3.2

9) Booted into Dell's recovery

10) Choose "Software upgrade via..."

11) Entered Clockwork

12) Wiped "Cashe Partition, Dalvik", and did a "wipe data/factory reset"

13) Installed StreakDroid 1.8.1

14) Booted completely powered off without unlocking

15) Booted, performed initial setup

After all of this I have 3g. But if I want WiFi I need to turn WiFi on then reboot clearing cashes each time until the WiFi is able to connect without disconnecting right away, and I am able to browse, etc. I must turn off WiFi and do it all again if I want 3G again.

Have I missed some critical step or setting? Am I just plain doing something wrong? What else can I try or do to enable 1.8.1 to switch between 3G and WiFi as easily as 1.7.0 did?

Great job DJ_Steve

Mate, you've done a great work, marvelous.

After long debates with myself (going or not on custom roms) I've decided to give it a try. It turned out I took a great decision: Strakdroid 181 is a piece of art. I had no troubles at all flashing on unlocked streak, Froyo official build 00.

All i have tested so far works without a glitch.

The only strange step in installing was that, Update from Clockwork via zip. from sdcard, didn't work, so i have applied rom like a usual zip from card (install zip from card)--> booted, (first boot under 5 minutes) and i am proud user or your Steak_droid.

GOOOOD work Steve.

I'll wait for htc sence porting to Streak, it will rock the world of mobiles :)

Cheers mate,

First, 1.8.1 is a nicely built setup but I have a set of interesting problems.

Problem #1: Bluetooth audio is LOW, started out fine but during my last call, I couldn't hear the person so I switched to my handset which lead me to problem 2.

Problem #2: both speakers on my phone would not work. I thought it was the call so I tried again. I rebooted the phone, still no audio on the handset but the speakerphone did work. I'm having trouble keeping it constant of which will work and which won't. My alarm didn't ring this morning but my handset works...

Problem #3: GPS either won't turn on or won't turn off.

Problem #4: Wifi will connect but sometimes it won't transfer data (tested on 3 networks, only 1 worked)

Problem #5: can't change keyboards.

Problem #6: won't ring or notify me with all my communication (IE won't ring but will notify me there's an SMS or vice versa)

Problem #7: I push the power button but it won't always put the device to sleep, sometimes it'll dim the screen and then go to sleep.

ALL of these problems have been replicated with or without installed apps so I'm assuming it's not an app.

Steps to fix this:

Cleared dalvik cache

did a factory reset

wiped all partitions and reinstalled 1.8.1

install text is as follows:

adwlauncher

volboost

tabmail

bios

US140

I moved from 1.6.1 to 1.8.1 but looks like I'm rolling back to 1.6.1
