DELL STREAK Froyo Build Beta - Version 1.2.0 Released

[Guest User Error]

my battery issues seem to be coming from having wifi on. i have no wifi @ work and have had it turned off and had less than 15% drop since about 9 am.

one other thing, when i get an sms i get multiple copies, even after having replied to the text.

[Guest radddogg]

Both 2.2 update links are down.

[Guest popetodd]

I would hope that is because Steve is changing them to disconnect that thieving hack Matt over at his theft site.

[Guest HoTdiGiTi]

Plus also he said on twitter he has a new boot.img which hopefully improves battery life and is looking for testers

I managed to get my gps locking faster, it is now working like it used to. I had a play with gps.conf in /system/etc the following is my modified gps.conf

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Just got a mail from Google congratulating me on getting a Nexus One :)

I got that too. haha

I've switched to 180 for a bit of a change and that works really well. 240 was like holding a phone for the elderly!

I'm running 180 as well. It almost feels perfect.

if you update to an official froyo build from dell then it'll work fine. but the 2.1 has ro.serialno empty so it's not being used, it must be something else.

We're trying to work out what its using, fingerprint doesnt work, changing android_id doesn't work, but there must be something that google are using to identify roms.

I've been playing with this trying to get it to work all morning. I've got a 16 digit android_id set in the database you mentioned, however, it doesn't seem to be rolling over to ro.serial for some reason. I've been looking up ways to insert it, but nothing yet. Just for good measure, I even tried adding ro.serial=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to build.prop and still nothing.

works very nicely.

I've set INTERMEDIATE_POS=1 as well, just to see.. :)

[Guest spacecat46]

I find the LCD density set at 180 is about perfect, esp if you have slightly dodgy eyesight but not yet Mr Magoo

[Guest fards]

I got that too. haha

yeah we worked out earlier that the android_id at com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db when converted to hex makes a lovely 16digit code, unfortunately market still doesnt work...

however appbrains fastwebinstaller does now :)

[Guest neil tring]

Hmm i must be doing something completly wrong. Managed to get 2.1 working a while ago but 2.2 has me stumped. Done excatly the update.zip route but when i reboot holding the volume buttons and select update via .zip it doesnt boot clockwork mod of which i bought off market. Im guessing flashbooting, need to read up, will solve this problem?

Many thanks.

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

new update zip will be going up soon, am including gps fixes courtesy of andycap & fards too, aswell as modified boot.img which should help battery life somewhat hopefully

[Guest neil tring]

Surely it cant be the .zip? Maybe clockwork mod as i remember reading that the one off market has a glitch and its better to flashboot that?

[Guest gingernator]

It maybe worth while putting version numbers and release dates in the thread title so we know if we're running the latest version or not. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the great rom.

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

ok new update zip is up :) check first post for info its been heavily edited

hmm interesting idea

[Guest neil tring]

Hmm having build 6491 and baseband GAUSB1A120321-EU cause problems?

[Guest navrac]

just hope titanium backup restores everything as it was - I had just set it up exactly how I liked it.

I was running for 23 hours still with 40% battery left so I wasn't too worried about the battery.

this 5 minute for first boot seems to be a lifetime.....

It Lives!

now for the restore biab

if it takes ages pull batt and power back on usually gives it a kick

thats 1.6 not 2.1

you need 8105 first

[Guest neil tring]

Wierd, after i typed that i just did some reading. Got 8105 so just going to get on with it now :) Sorry to be a nuisance :)

[Guest raidet]

ok new update zip is up :) check first post for info its been heavily edited

Steve are you still updating the fastboot flashable version? Zip method breaks my cell service for some reason...

Ta

ill assume you updated baseband...if so flash back to 2.1 8105 then update zips will work

[Guest navrac]

Interesting - the wifi signal strength jumps up and down in the status bar - and the busybox installer doesn't work - so cant run titanium backup to restore things.

I'll keep trying.

Ok my mistake - started titanium before busybox and then forgot to shut down titanium before installing busybox.

Sadly Titanium didn't work completely! so back to installing apn's and putting all the widgets/shortcuts back....

[Guest the_didge]

hey Steve

Great rom, some truely inspirational work youve done.

I have a small request as the rom will be getting lots of bug fixes before full release, would it be possible to set the new updates as non wipe updates in order to maintain apps/settings as restoring from titanium is a little bit dodgey sometimes.

thanks :)
