DELL STREAK Froyo Build Beta - Version 1.2.0 Released

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

some apps do lock device into portrait themselves (quadrant is well known for it)

[Guest adzman808]

speed improbvements and possibly battery lifetoo

good way to promote the product :)

ok more silly q....

please bare with me...

can i remove apps (I dont want installed) from your .zip by simply deleting the apks from syste/app folder? would i need to re-sign the update.zip after*?

(assuming yes) can i also add my additional apps in the same folder, so they all install with the update.zip?

is there anyway to apply the cpu / battery updates of v1.1.1 by editing prop files on v1? (you posted something about this re the battery somewhere round p88 of this post)

cheers Steve, thank you for giving us all so much of your time & experience

*internet search says yes, i say wtf?

[Guest adzman808]

Steve's froyo ROM is quite good let me tell you. The call waiting issue though is terrible though so I would advise you to wait if you get many calls. I have to hope people leave voicemails or I will have no idea they called.

call waiting doesn't work on mine...

NOT saying this applicable to all of us - but FYI (to any1 mentioning call waiting, just quoted outsidah as a point of refference) o2 PAYG doesn't support call waiting, perhaps this is true with other carriers too or perhaps you rebel sim guys can't access your cellular providers call waiting service either

just my €0.02 :)

yep you can get the same thing by looking at the update-cpu zip linked in the changelog for 1.1.1 :) and yes you can add/remove apps as needed, zip isnt signed as clockwork does not require it

[Guest vinokirk]

Hows the video playback on the cm6 rom? I get a lot of grey screens and"audio file only"and the inability to scan thru the file

[Guest 80sLoveCHILD]

More speed improvnments. Yay! Better find my charger for the update. When we gonna get it steve?

i took the ___.sh file from the 1.1.1 update & pasted over the original in the etc folder

was that correct...?

cheers

[Guest the_didge]

Any widgets?

ummm... a few.

1x spotify widget, but usually not signed in

3x extended control widgets

1x tempcpuv2 widget

1x ramdroid widget, always off

1x google search widget

no live wallpaper as that killed the battery even quicker

i unplugged it 2 hours ago when it had about 65% charge its now at 42%

its reporting the following:

Cell Standby 47%

Phone Idle 33%

Tasker 10%

Voice calls 8%

ive only made 2 five minute calls in the last two hours so im not sure why its eaten up so much battery

Data is always on with light to medium usage.

anyone know a good battery usage monitor?

[Guest ShinyBallBoy]

updated to 1.1.1/reports:

- stuck at boot logo, factoy reset resolved it

- some marketplace issues (google's fault probably)

- didn't install any apps, to test stability before bogging down the phone

- battery drain about 50% in 5 hours (with lots of messing around with 3G, nexus live wallpaper and stock twitter and facebook widgets auto updating at default values)

- didn't try camera, bt, gps or youtube

- phone app force closed once

- three times had a 'sticky slide to unlock screen'

- otherwise fast and silk smooth, linpack scores of 33-34.

- Thank you Steve, really an amazing work

[Guest SSMERK]

hey guys i noticed something really weird . when i was running 1.1.1 and 2.1 on my streak and using the wifi with out the sim card and went to the market store all the apps showed up in the store but once i installed the sim card and used the internet connection from my cell provider some of the apps i was looking for are not in the store . so for people who are missing apps in the store and are trying to download them do not use the data connection from your provider seems like the cell provider might have blacklisted some apps that they dont want running on there network.

[Guest eswiderski]

I *think* I have the latest buil 1.1.1 installed, though how do I check? Also, if I do, I still don't see market apps like Google Voice and Skype.

This is genius work by the way!!!

Thank you I'll be donating.

This is the official announcement of my Froyo ROM for dell streak.

THIS RELEASE IS NOW IN MY OPINION STABLE ENOUGH TO TRANSITION FROM BETA STATUS TO A PROPER RELEASE LEVEL

so further to this i have named my new release version 1.0. it still has bugs but none of them are serious enough to warrant remaining beta

the update process is now very simple to do but it does require that you are using a 2.1 firmware first

please see the excellent guide made by user homeiss here : http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...ing-the-streak/

Working:

market has issues with apps not showing ,we are investigating this

Everything else that i know of work - may be some small issues that are being worked on - read thread as alot of issues are fixed by others here

30fps limit has been removed on all of these builds

Known Issues:

mobile data is turned off by default it can be easily enabled in settings

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

Known Bugs:

after you switch off wifi, the 3G data will not always come back on - head into mobile networks and toggle mobile data to fix

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

ok enough babbling on onto the howto:

#include <std_disclaimer.h>

/*

* Your warranty is now void.

*

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

I do write in English, but it is obvious that he does not. If I am able to help in any language I am happy to try.

[Guest SSMERK]

ok folks need an opinion. who would want to use a build (most likely test build ) of froyo which has working wifi hotspot support BUT has the flashing leds problem ?

i am def down tell me when and where i would love to load it and give you feed back on any issues

[Guest outsidah]

I was hoping 1.1.1 might magically fix whatever the hidden issue is with call waiting but no go :)

[Guest raidet]

Noticed that screen responsiveness is much improved in new build. Super awesome. That's the main edge iphone had over Android in my opinion, and it's being eaten away. Muahahaha!!

[Guest adzman808]

not all carriers support CW, for example o2 PAYG doesn't (but o2 contract does)

have you confirmed with your provider?
