Stable, NO SOD,smooth!

I would like to personally thank you for ending my Streak hell.:D

I obtained a copy of the "Olleh ROM" copied to SD card root.

I obtained a copy of Superuser from this thread..copied to SD card root

Fastboot ........flashed Dell 406 recovery

Fastboot .......flashed amss and dsp1

Rebooted into Dell recovery mode

Update pkg....Olleh ROM

Installed Olleh Rom

Dell factory reset...let ROM open to home screen.

Reboot to fastboot

Flash Clockwork Recovery

Reboot to Clockwork Recovery and flash Superuser straight over Olleh Rom

Reboot to Dell Factory reset

Voila! Rooted Olleh Rom

Logged in to my google account

Market

Stopped Superuser from updating...if it updates uninstall the update or you lose the root.

Titanium...uninstall all the apps you are not going to use...extra bagage

Root Explorer.....use to tidy up...olleh folder etc on SD card

Auto Killer Memory Optomiser...presets set to Extreem, ALL advanced tweeks with two minutes delay, No need for VM Heap tool as Optimiser resets the heap to 40 anyway.

SetCPU does not overclock this ROM but you can increase the base from ZERO to.....500....did get a few reboots, so uninstalled SETCPU.

I installed launcherpro, dolphinHD v7.2 beta and flash 11...you can even leave flash turned on all the time in your web pages

Everything works, no reboots, no sleep of death, Ashphalt 5 and NFS Shift etc ALL work fine

Finally I used a tool called 'Absolute System Root Tools' to install the ICS boot aimation into System/Media/Bootanimation as Root Explorer did not do it.

I cannot find the thread for the Olleh Rom download

but......

Updated all files to newest version, if you do not manually update them though their updater apps available on market, you should reinstall superuser to get the lastest things.
[Streak 5 Android Development] androidunia:
4o7 Stock Olleh Rom also can be rooted with this method... amazing,...

Thanks, TheManii...
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Small update, SU has been updated to 3.0.3.2 now

Also: for ANY devices that uses mtd partitions, superuser should be compatable with your device.

Tested on (experimental) CWM for venue and works with no modifications.

You need to do some reading. Where to start:

Streak Wiki at xda-developers.com – includes DL links for ROMS and a ROM reference, lots of good info. Start here!

Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM – MUST READ if you want to flash a ROM or upgrade

Everything you wanted to know about the streak, but were too busy bricking it – Sticky thread by TheManii with links important to Streak users. Most are already listed here. The links listed are very XDA-centric.

Flashing Guide by TheManii at XDA Streak Wiki

Modding your Streak – where to start? – my take on Streak Modding
[Streak 5 Android Development] Telanis:
Better yet, this rooting guide just posted over at Android Enthusiasts. Probably not as in-depth as reading 10 XDA threads, but clear and simple.
[Streak 5 Android Development] rokkywoof:
Huge help from this link/tip due to this one clarification there:

"Continuing from the command line, enter fastboot reboot and immediate hold down both volume buttons on the device until you reach Recovery Mode." I added the emphasis on "immediate" [sic], because that is what was missing in the instructions in XDA flashing guide ( http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/Flashing_Guide#Entering_recovery_mode_on_phone ). Most of the instruction "blocks" just jump to "Finished" without that key step to keep the standard boot from overwriting the Streakmod recovery image.

Now, I need another puzzle piece filled in: how do I get the /system partition mounted in r/w mode to rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh so it won't clobber the Streakmod recovery image on next reboot?

I tried "remount" from adb, but that failed, and I tried starting the shell, and switching to root ("su"), to use umount command , but that failed, too. I guess because the fs is in use? All these instructions say to rename or delete that script, but not how to get the fs mounted in rw mode to do that (being root via su does not help since that is a basic characteristic of a ro filesystem).

TIA,

R
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
That's because it's a seperate step: Disabling recovery overwrite in stock roms -Xda wiki

Installing a recovery -Xda wiki already points that fact out.

I believe stock kernels (more specifically the default.prop in the ramdisk(?) ) block adb remounting even with root, you either need to remount it from within android or though adb shell or something. It's not the the S5, my S7/10 are exactly the same.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Telanis:
I use Root Explorer myself, it's a simple one-click to remount from inside the app. There are free apps to do it too. The FS being in use shouldn't matter. I've misplaced my Streak so I can't find it to test this, but you could also try "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system" (or mtdblock6 as TheManii notes below) from a terminal on the device or adb shell.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
RE remounting it counts as remounting it from within android,

it's likely sending something along the lines of "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system" if you looked at the commands it sends to SU when remounting (hint: /system is MTD6 on the S5)
[Streak 5 Android Development] rokkywoof:
Thanks, dude! That was exactly the command I needed after I shelled in with adb. Indeed, fs busy-ness was not the issue - I was just forgetting about the "remount,rw" option (last did this kind of stuff over a year ago when I was doing this sort of thing on a Pandigital Novel, my first Android gadget that I hacked into - thinking it was a bit easier ...).

I would strongly recommend adding this bit to the instructions for disabling install-recovery.sh.

Regards,

R

Hi, I am having issues trying to root my streak. I did what was supposed until instruction 3. I booted into streakmod and hit the "software update via update.pkg on SD card." and what happened was, it showed me this.

"Android system recovery utility - GAUSB1A132013

To perform an emergency software recovery, you will need to insert a microSD card

containing an update file. (/sdcard/update.pkg)............."

How do I solve this? Tks for ur help:)
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Updated SU/Superuser to 3.1 and Busybox to 1.20.1

[Streak 5 Android Development] feldkiste:
Hey guys,

i've got some troubles installing SU from the recovery.

I blame my version of SU since the mirror2.streakmod.com link provided in the first post does not work for me.

Is there another source for this zip?

Thanks in advance, bless y'all

Fk
[Streak 5 Android Development] Edrill:
The second link (devhost) seems to be working.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Updated SU to 3.1.1

Actually update busybox to 1.20.1, previous build included wrong one
[Streak 5 Android Development] angelerikz:
@themanii just want to ask if how can I root stock 360 if my charging port is already broken (the phone is charging but was not able to be detected by computer) making the device unable to connect via fastboot and was not able to flash custom recovery...
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
If your port is broken the only way you can change stuff is:

Be rooted or

Have a custom recovery already installed

If you are already rooted, you can use flash_image to force install a custom rec (but I provide no support on actually doing that).

If you already have a custom rec, you're good to go.

If you have neither, best you can do is find a rooting app that actually works on your current rom.

Also:

Announcement: Future versions of Superuser.zip will be renamed to simply Superuser-legacy.zip.

This is due to me being able to migrate the S7/S10/V to CWM 6.0.

Streakmod is simply not able to take advantage of newer update scripts, so I will have to maintain seperate versions for the S5 <-> S7/S10/V.

If you have the CWM 6.0 alpha for the S5, you should use (the new) Superuser.zip

I wont actually release it until there's actual changes, but the OP will be updated to direct you to the correct version to use.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Will be releasing a new version of Superuser-legacy soon
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Superuser has now been renamed to Superuser-legacy.

Streakmod users must use Superuser-legacy, it is not compatable with Superuser anymore.

ClockworkMod 6.0 (or newer) users SHOULD use Superuser, Superuser-legacy is not tested against it and results may be unpredictable.

Busybox has also been updated to 1.20.2
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Since CWM has entered the beta phase, I will be officially supporting installing Superuser.zip on it.

Once CWM exits the beta phase, I will discontinue Superuser-legacy.zip afterwards.

OP has been updated.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Updated title, Superuser.zip is now compatable with the SPro.

Files themself have not changed

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sufc:
Hi guys,

Long time stalker, first time poster.

I am trying to use APK manager to edit some third party app apk's themes.

When i use option 9 to decompile, i try using option 11 to compile again straight away just to see if everything works ok...

If i decompile and change an image in res/drawable hdpi, i always get an error message when i try and compile it again...

Even if i only change one image and then compile it, it will show an error.

Does anyone know why im getting this error?

Thanks for any help you guys can give, its really frustrating!

Does anyone know why?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mssmison:
use the older version of the apktool.jar file. You can get it from his google code page.

Also remember if the image your changing is a 9.png then you need to make sure the all black, and totally clear edges stay that way or else you'll get an error compiling them again.

Another good idea is to post the portion of your log.txt file showing what's causing the error, cause otherwise we're just guessing.

And a final good idea is to ask your question in the apk manager thread. You'll get better support there.

Hi :cool:

My phone:

Disire HD (GSM)

Android 2.3.3

CyanogenMod 7.0.0 RC2

I had the same problem as you a few weeks ago(my phone wasn't rooted) :(....

Tried different methodes to get my data back, they all didn't work.

The problem is not the phone or any app on it neither your roms are the problem,

searched the internet... and came to the solution that I was not alone with this problem. they assume this is an hardware fould in the SD card ( btw its weird that its an Samsung SD, didn't you thought the same:confused: I still dont understand...)

Anyway, my solution was going back to the shop where I got the phone (Belcompany NL) and ask there solution for the problem i lost all my pics and other importand crap haha..

They didn't had a solution or something, just giving me a new one.. so I got a new SD Card (for free :D)

But lost all my data :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You know if a partition messes up, which it has done because you didn't let it finish, there is like 0% chance that you can recover any data on your SD card. You should of backed your card up before you attempted to even start doing a disk check. As for getting your SD back up and running, you can try gparted live cd and see if it will detect it in that. If so just repartition it, but next time, let it do a thorough disk check and finish. Checks can take hours and hours because it is doing something. Just backup your SD card frequently.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante4212:
I've decided to purchase a new card rather than hassle with unrooting my phone for the sake of going back to the USCellular repair (on just a whim that they may replace the card).

I've heard that I need to be careful when choosing a brand of MicroSD cards. Transcend is a no go. But what about this: An 8GB A-DATA Class 6 MicroSD card?

From what I've gathered, A-DATA is a reputable brand, and it shouldn't really cause problems in my HTC Desire, right?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] davmeister:
First off, let me just say, what a great forum and a great group of devs and regulars! Your work has made me LOVE my Captivate hardware (but I still loathe my provider) :)

Has anyone done any standalone Swype keyboard theming since the new version of the Swype beta came out?

I am currently running Phoenix 7.0 (don't want to update yet), but I can't seem to pull out the themed swype.apk from the 7.1.1 update and get it to work correctly (it says it was build for a different ROM), so I am stuck with the stock keyboard still.

I searched the threads, but was unsure of current versus old Swype-themed versions.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a TON!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phoenix-Lead:
Take the swype apk, the libswypecore.so and my build prop and put them all in 7.0 and you will be good to go.

[G Tablet General] projectzro:
I just recently had an idea about the terrible viewing angle of the Gtab's screen. the basics of a LCD screen is a sandwich of glass, liquid crystal, electrodes, and more glass. but the most important part is the back-light, it allows you to see what is displayed on the glass. the back-light on most monitors consists of a row of LED lights and many sheets of paper that evenly spread and carry that light.

my thought being what if we replaced the the films and papers behind the glass to distribute the light better.

sorry for the long post but i realized this after watching a tare down video of an LCD screen. also after thinking when i turn my gtab upside down i can see it at most viewing angles (seeing as the LED strip is directly shining from that angle)

would this be possible?
[G Tablet General] cruiser771:
how about finding a way to flip the screen around?
[G Tablet General] projectzro:
Hmm that still doesn't solve the problem. You still get that weird angle in portrate and I don't think the cables would reach from the other side.

Good thought though.
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
the viewing angle has nothing to do with the backlight. A stronger backlight would be better for outdoor viewing though.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
There is another long thread on the site with most of this info in it.

Rev
[G Tablet General] projectzro:
I'm not saying its the backlight but the distribution of that light that is the problem
[G Tablet General] projectzro:
Link plz. Sorry didn't see it when I searched
[G Tablet General] P00r:
Issue with viewing angle are due to the circular polariser in front of the lcd and also to the material used in the capacitive film, I doubt you will get much by playing with the backlight...

That said the spec of the screen are not the worst I have seen, far from it...
[G Tablet General] h3llphyre:
I personally have zero issue with the screen. My Dell Mini 9 is the same way and I just view it head on. When I use my Mini9, I angle the screen to it's perpendicular to my view. I do the same with my Gtab.

Would it be better if it had an IPS with RGB LED backlighting? Yes, but it would also be about $400 more to buy.

That being said, I may ask LG for a sample through work, for one of their new IPS screens, just to see what a difference it makes.

[Nook Color General] EVO_Android:
I have my new Nook Color rooted to 3.0. I was able to use the Market perfectly fine for quite some time, downloading over a dozen apps. However, now it's giving me all sorts of problems. The last few downloads failed. If I try to redownload them, I never get a notification. It's like it forgot about me. Then it said I needed to resign into Gmail, and even with a valid password, it said it was wrong. Magically, without entering a password, it started working again. However, I still can't download everything.

[Nook Color General] 13thsymphony:
No idea if this works, you could try downloading and installing the Cyanogenmod GApps package (can't post a link...it's easy to find on the official CM website).

Be prepared to bork your installation and have to reinstall HC completely, though. In general, you shouldn't expect much luck from a hacked SDK build that is soon to be obsolete.
[Nook Color General] EVO_Android:
Honestly, after doing some research, I think it's Google Talk. Other Android users have the same issue. If Talk won't connect (authentication failed), then Market won't work. I haven't found a solution though to the problem.. still looking.

Can anyone help me out with this Market not working?

I'm running stock NOOKcolor ROM v1.1 with AutoNooter (for root) and ADW launcher. Everything was working great for me and when I tried to install the latest Market the Market stopped working. It loads, and I accepted the terms and conditions, then it drops back to the home screen (launcher desktop). And each new time I load it, it drops back to the home screen.

I tried clearing cache, and data for the Market. I tried unchecking the USB debug, and Allow Non-Market Installs. I tried removing the microSD card. I tried reverting back to the old Market. I tried looking for the Google Services Framework, but could not find it under all apps. Nothing is working for me.

Any suggestions or tips? Anyone else having this problem?
