Guest maskaler Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 I've just got a new Streak through insurance, having dropped mine which had the 2.1 beta release (6xxx) which I was very happy with. Is the official update worth getting over this one? I've seen a lot of negative comments about the official release, whereas people seemed to like the beta. The other option is an MCR - is this stable and superior to the beta/official release?
Guest rovex Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 It really is pot luck. Some work well and others are really slow and stuttery. I would stay on the beta release if it was me. I spent a whole weekend trying to revert to it after a terrible experience with both the official release and the MCR.

I've the beta pkg on the backup of my sdcard at home so I'll fire it up when I'm back in and wait for something more worthwhile before upgrading.
Guest Dunhamzzz Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 Stay on the beta release! The "official" release doesn't add anything, all it does is stretch the widgets even more, and they even introduced a bug with the wallpapers where it now grabs a square of the image and stretches it over the streaks rectangle resolution. It looks like when you stretch a standard TV aspect ratio of 4:3 on to a wide screen, but it looks worse because it's right in your face. It looks so bad I now use ADW Launcher, and trust me I'm normally a 100% stock sorta guy.

I use ADW exclusively anyway and have done since donut, I just prefer the interface, icons and the doc tray. That said, the other issues don't sound particularly enamouring. The beta seemed so solid, it's only flaw being my butter fingers dropping the phone while cleaning the screen!
