StreakDroid 1.5.3 Release Post

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

This ROM is heavily updated and still being developed at a fairly rapid pace.

The update process is now very simple to do

PLEASE NOTE: THEIR ARE NOW 2 BUILDS BEING RELEASED FOR EACH UPDATE, ONE IS A NEWBASEBAND VERSION WHICH WILL WORK WITH ANY BASEBAND AFTER 1.2 OR ANY OFFICIAL DELL FROYO BASEBAND, THE OTHER IS A NO-BASEBAND UPDATE DESIGNED FOR REBELSIM USERS AND REQUIRES THE 2.1 8105 BASEBAND

The recommended Update requires you to upgrade your device baseband, this is a simple procedure via fastboot.

rebelsim users should use only the nobaseband update file and use the 2.1 baseband or they will encounter problems

We now have a nice new website blog for streakdroid - check it out and help me populate the wiki with faqs and get in the forums :) sites @ http://www.streakdroid.com

Most Recent Version: v1.5.3

Known Issues:

Accelerometer is dodgy at times but i cant pin down the issue - usually going into settings > display and toggling auto rotate on and off fixes

-------------------

8/10 - Easy level, should be simple enough for 99% of users to complete



-------------------

[b]How-To[/b]

-------------



1. Copy the update zip to your memory card first

[b]Steps 2-4 are only needed if you are coming from a build OLDER than 1.2[/b]

2. Power down your streak and boot into fastboot

do this by pressing power until the keypad lights come on then HOLD camera until you get to a white screen, then tap on the fastboot text in top right corner,

3. Connect your streak to pc - the text on streak should change to FASTBOOT_MODE.

you should place the amss.mbn file into the same folder as fastboot on your pc

run the following commands from command prompt on your pc

Windows:

[code]fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn

Linux

fastboot flash amss amss.mbn

4. Type the following commands to reboot your streak - again alow it to boot into the main ui - you will lose network connection for the moment, this is fine, also streak WILL reboot twice before booting, again this is normal Windows:

fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Linux

fastboot reboot

5. Once your device has booted shut down again and boot into clockwork recovery by doing the following

boot to recovery as per step 1 then choose option 2.

6. Flash the 1.5 update zip

7. reboot

[Guest dacho]

Great. THANK YOU very much. One quick question about the baseband difference between 1.5 and 1.46. Is it any different?

[Guest Crinos512]

So if I'm running 1.4.6 then the New Baseband ROM is the one I want, and I can just use Clockwork Recovery to load it.... correct?

[Guest Hells_Child]

Im on it!, dl now.

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

not in the new baseband version

yep

only really rebelsim users that need nobaseband

[Guest G4sD0c]

Got it - many thanks Steve!

[Guest RSullivan]

For those of us who do not use Fring or other video chat apps, is there any way we can port the Camera Framework and App from 1.4.6?

[Guest mmp669]

Delay? are you kidding? That's freaking fast!!!!! :) ! Keep up with the great work.

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

not without loads of hacks the frameworks are hugely involved

[Guest LorD CLockaN]

OC posibble??

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

uses same kernel as 1.4.6 so yes

[Guest Hells_Child]

Loving the bit when flashing the .zip where it says "welcome to streakdroid", lol. awsome.

took maybe 5 mins to boot up after applying zip. I just flashed the new baseband and applied the zip over 1.4.6.

The new market place is CRAZZZZY (in a good way tho) while take a while to used to it but thats what i love about all these new updates, there's always something new to learn everytime :)

Many thanks Steve, your doing a fantastic job with the streak (maybe dell will take note and offer you a job? :) )

yea ive mastered the update scripting layouts now :) so can add novell things like that

[Guest Adilson]

I've just updated from official 2.2 to 1.5 and I seem to have lost GPS. Looks like it isn't activated by programs that use it like Google Maps. I didn't update the baseband tough as it seemed to be unecessary according to the instructions. The other features seem to be working fine so far.

gps works here so try checking its enabled in settings and try a factory reset

[Guest LorD CLockaN]

If Im on 146, do I need factory reset afte 150 pdate??

[Guest Fone_Fanatic]

Awesome! Dl'ing now directly to device :)

Is this like the other builds which keeps all apps and other info untouched? No need to back up and restore?

[Guest tina3]

thank you :) looks like your really getting all your roms out for xmas!

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

it *should* work without fac reset but no promises as with all roms

[Guest LorD CLockaN]

Now waiting for battery percentage to be confirmed working on 150

[Guest dacho]

gps seems to be not working, it is enabled but when I start google maps there is no gps icon on the task bar and after a while it says location unavailable. I was hoping that I didn't have to do a hard reset :)

edit: It also became unrooted.

Working just fine with 1.4.6 without factory reset ...... All my apps are still there . Great job Steve
