[Guest Paul]

I was working up the official Froyo update for y'all and something went horribly wrong. :)

What happened?

[Guest Superfrag]

A random question.. since the resolution on the Streak is same, shouldn't the menu occupy the same amount of place? I mean on the Streak in that screenshot the about phone menu takes around 80% of the whole screen, while in my G2 I have to scroll up and down.. shouldn't it be the same on both? Or am I missing something?

If you changed the lcd density setting in your build.prop you could make the menu smaller/larger I think.

A bad bootloader flash I think...

Yeah there is a huge difference try 500+/- less on quadrant.

Yeah, the Streak defaults to 160; a lot of the smaller devices are around 200-240. They can't fit as much info on the screen with that setting, so you have to scroll. On the Streak, that setting makes the fonts and buttons HUGE.

[Guest Cue_32]

Hey Paul, we have 2 out of 3 things in common... A Dell Streak, RokR HD, and the only thing left is the Build number 10688 to make it 3 for 3. :)

jk

If you bricked your Streak then thats the last time I'm testing 'untested' processes on my Streak. (ie. Metamorphing N1 ROMs) :S

Ah, I got it.. thanks!

[Guest Fone_Fanatic]

Paul, can you tell us if it still has the dell customizations on the top bar? i've come to really like it compared to the normal slide down for notifications. I know its gonna have "stage ui" which is more or less just widgets.

As I see from the screenshot it has the original Froyo taskbar thanks god!

BTW what is terribly wrong on this screenshot? I don't see anything wrong!?

can tell you this build is very slow compared to my froyo, stageui is cool for about 10 mins then novelty wears off. i personally will be sticking to my froyo and then gingerbread :)

Agreed. The ringtone selection bug is annoying, at least until you open the volume menu and hit ok. Lol

I do like where the ofw is headed.

Any sign of Cyanogen for streak ?
