2.3.3 is a version of Android (newest is 2.3.6 for Gingerbread. Honeycomb is 3.x.x, IceCreamSandwich is 4.x.x)
2.4.4 is custom version of Rom of DJ Steve. There is not version of Android like 2.4.x





This has nothing to do with the version of Android. With Other words DJ Steve's Rom 2.4.4 is based on Android 2.3.3  GingerBread

Makes sense, thanks. Seem like a very smooth and stable ROM. Great job!

Brilliant ROM, exactly what I was looking for, however after using for 2 days, I get random restarts. If I factory rest it works for another 2 days, and then random restarts. sometimes boot loop for about 4 cycles then starts up fine.
Any Suggestions on how to fix this?

*factory reset from STREAKMOD

*reboot

*factory reset from dell menu (Ignore text of the top of this picture)

Flash amss and dsp1 if you came from Froyo.

No random reboots ever for me

I have gone through the steps you provided, main difference I could see was I previously flashed AMSS and dsp1 before installing the zip file, here is what I done:


Through ClockWork Recovery Mod

Wipe Cache Partition
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Battery Status
Wipe Data/Factory reset

Installed Clean GB 3.zip

Restarted, allowed phone to startup.  - FAILED - 4 x BOOT LOOP - Freez on Android Logo

Pulled Battery

Tried to do a Factory Reset "Dell" - Failed

Default NV Check #2 In Red at the bottom of the screen

Phone Restarts Itself

Factory Reset "Dell" - Phone Start Up successfully

• fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
• fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn
• fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

I am using the following install.txt

Portrait
launcherpro
density120

===================================================

Setting up Exchange mail still results in force close on Mail Program
Noticed sms messages are now grouped as From and To no longer in order received and sent "Strange was not like this Before"
Will have to see if the phone restarts itself like before

Thank you,

I did the steps exactly as you suggested, this time not a single error when flashing.
I had a random re-boot this morning, will continue to monitor.

I have 2 Issues:

• I cannot Sync my Exchange Mail. Mail Application force Close.
• I cannot check Air Time, If I dial *121*2# as I normally do, It Says : USSD Code Running...  > Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code

If I cant get this sorted, I will have to go back to a Different ROM

[muteman3]

USSD not work in any Gingerbread roms for dell 5... i think.  if I'm wrong let me know

For no random re-boots try streakmod 0.3.2.6 beta. Its works just fine for me.



I will try to fix Email this weekend.

Thank you for this.
I have flashed with the Recovery image provided.

Before I did this I flashed to the recently released "Official GB" from Dell.
Everything seems to be working fine, but as expected, USSD not working and thought I should mention that Mail application here is also not perfect, took numerous failed attempts inputting the same settings for it to work.
With the official GB released, you think you will change your ROM in any way?
Clean GB is an awesome ROM, with mail fixed, definitely going to use it.

Thanks Again

   Try ROM  without Install.txt and tell if Email crash again. Work just fine for me with Gmail and Hotmail. Give more information about your problems with Email . I think problem me by a density change of your Install.txt

Hi

Initially I was using noapps in the install.txt, thought this was causing an issue so removed it. Suspected it was a density issue so removed that as well. The tested without an install.txt file.
Current Rom Installed : Official GB.

Steps Followed now:
Format SD Card
Copy "Clean GB 3.zip" to the SD Card - Only file on SD Card

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img "streakmod 0.3.2.6"

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Wipe cache partition
Advanced > Wipe Dalvic Cache
Wipe Data/Factory reset
apply sdcard:update.zip > choose zip from sdcard >Clean GB 3.zip > Chose to install Clean GB 3.zip
*Install from sdcard complete*

Reboot system now

Restarting the Dell does not resolve the issue.

If StreakDroid 2.4.4 does...

Been using this for about a week now, love the portrait addition and the boot. Everything is good, but a quick gripe: you may have gotten too friendly with removing apps? I mean, who doesn't use YouTube?! Makes little of a difference since you can install it from the market, but I guess I can't see how you justified deleting YouTube. Anyways, good stuff!

Good Day,
Apologies for the delay in response, I was using the Simple Streak 1.2 from Spidla : http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1113256

I have tested StreakDroid GingerStreak 2.4.4, and experience the same problem.


Has anyone noted that the random re-booting is a knows issue by Dell and they are currently working on a fix.
http://support.dell....&l=en&s=gen&cs=

Article Summary:This article deals with random reboots of the Streak 5 device running Android Gingerbread OS.

Problem:
Streak 5 devices running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system may reboot randomly when the device is not actively being used.

Description:
If a Streak 5 device running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread v4.05) is left unattended, the unit may experience random reboots. This occurs very infrequently and will only happen if the device is powered on, is plugged into the wall charger, and has been left unattended in idle mode. If this happens, the customer may notice that the screen turns on briefly during the reboot process. No data loss will occur and the unit will reboot to the desktop. This does not appear to happen when the device is actively being used.

Solution:
This is not a hardware failure. Dell engineering is actively engaged and seeking a solution for this software problem. A future software update is expected to fully resolve the issue.

# I'm never had a sudden reboot.

# I removed Facebook ,  Yоutubе and  Twitter because the annoying problem of force close.This problem found its solution but  .... and I like rom clean.
In addition, you can always download the latest versions from the market.

In regards to the new poll, I like the BIOS boot, it's clever!
