StreakDroid 1.9.0 ( aka The Final Frontier ) Release Post

Official StreakDroid Website:StreakDroid.com

FRING VIDEO CALLING DOES WORK ON THIS VERSION USING THE FRING BETA AVAILABLE FROM FRING (ALSO AVAILABLE ON MODACO)

A FACTORY RESET MAY BE NEEDED TO ALLOW THIS TO BOOT CORRECTLY DUE TO THE NUMBER OF CHANGES, SO BACKUP IS RECOMMENDED

I now have my own online kitchen for this rom, this negates the need for the installer info below, please feel free to test the kitchen and report back to me via PM !! please

This Release Version incorporates changes in the INSTALLATION PROCESS, please read the options available to you and the correct method of applying them before proceeding to flash the 1.9 Zip File!

( Disclaimer : As before, this ROM is heavily updated and still being developed at a fairly rapid pace. Bugs are listed below.)

PERFMOD IS NOT enabled by default in this version, had some reports of stabily problems but their is now an installer option to reenable it if you wish, if you choose not to enable the installer will automaticly trasfer your data back to save a reset :D

also lots of other little tweaks been added

1.0 > INSTALLATION CHANGES :

With 1.9, several choices must be made before flashing the Zip file via StreakMod or Clockwork Recovery. These choices are made with very simple edits to a Text file ( explained in section 1.2 below )

Important Options Available ( other options are listed below in Section 1.1 ) -

A.Rebel SIM Compatibility : Users who previously downloaded the NOBB version of the file may now simply select the option by typing it into the text file before flashing the Zip. Please note that Rebel SIM users are still required to manually Fastboot flash the 2.1 8105 Baseband for compatibility.

B.Launcher Option : Users may now select their default Launcher of choice before installation. The options available are LauncherPro, ADW, Stage UI and GingerBread Launcher. GingerBread launcher is installed by default if nothing is chosen.

C.Pixel/LCD Density : Default LCD Density can be set during Installation. Values available for selection are : 120,140,180,200 and 240 DPI.

D.Other Settings : Other settings available include -

•Volume Boost

( flashes the A Modified kernel with louder volume hack ),

•Tabmail

( installs the Galaxy Tab Email Client port beta 2 instead of stock email client ),

•Teetermod

( installs Teetermod edit to get HTC Teeter working, installs the app and a modified build prop with 240dpi lcd density )

•us120/140/180/200/240 -

(installs build.prop with USA related Region Settings and an LCD Density of 120140/180/200/240)

•bios

( installs the Streak BIOS Bootanimation )

•noapps

(this will install an absolute base system with no additional apps installed and the gingerbread launcher as the default launcher)

1.1 > INSTALLATION HOW TO

A. You will need to create a text file on your Streak's MicroSD Card. The file can be created in your Text Editor of choice ( such as Notepad ).

B.This file will be called 'install.txt' - Ensure that this is the exact syntax and that the file is saved with a '.txt' suffix.

C.This file must be saved in the root of the sd card.

E.Inside this text file, you may type each option that you select on a separate line. All the options available to you are listed below. Here is an example :

adwlauncher

volboost

tabmail

bios[/code]




That is it. You can save this text file as install.txt 

You will then boot into recovery ( StreakMod or Clockwork ) and begin the Zip file installation process as usual.

Hi Stephen.

Thanks for another great release. I've been following your work for quite some time and the only thing that keeps me stuck with stock roms is support for Brazilian Portuguese. Is there a plan to add support for more languages on your builds?

That's too bad. Morelocale only sets the locale AFAICT. As the underlying support is not there or at least not fully there, only part of the strings are translated. Also, it's not the translation itself the issue (I can live with it in English without a problem) but things like recognizing words, addresses and commands in Portuguese (I use this a lot while traveling) and support on swipe as well.

Anyways, thanks a lot for your work. Despite the fact I can't really use it :D

Hi I went from 1.8.0 without any issues so far. Did get a message about mismatched UID's and recommending I wipe data partition. I just ignored it for now.

The only issues are still getting a fc on exiting stock browser, but hey ive had that for a few.versions now, I think default launcher has changed to gingerbread, so with no set option in my install.txt I lost my home screens which had widgetoids on adw launcher.

But nothing serious great work dj steve.
