hi guys. i just want to get this clear. changelog says 720p video recording support. does it actually record in HD 720p? im still getting 3gpp even though setting is on 720p mpeg4.

its not a big deal for me, but i just want to know if i did something wrong. thanks

The filetype says 3gpp,but check the format and it should be mp4 and aac, 1280x720, which is 720p,

as long as you followed the instructions to record it..

might have missed something. opened camera app switch to video mode, chose 720p, mpeg4, and custom. pressed record button. FC.

same here.

I think we are missing something else to select.

Can anyone advise what all options to select for 720p recording ?

About Dell Sync

How can we prevent this app launching each time the device is connected to USB or it's restarted ?

Since it's not useful without a PC software I don't want to use it. (I use DejaOffice with Companionlink)

Btw, if we'll use this Dell Sync in future releases, we should also have the "Outlook Tasks" and "Outlook Notes" applications on the ROM.

Speaking of apps, check to see if you have RadioTime - it appears to be bogus software that charged me $1.99 to use it, then tried to charge me again. Couldn't uninstall it but I deleted it using Root Explorer.

Just wondered if anybody having problems with signal strength? It is probably o2 but my signal keeps dropping off and just wondered if anybody else having similar problems?

Has anyone had any problems with blue tooth devices? I am trying to pair my jawbone icon the streak will scan but not detect anything, I have also tried anothe handsfree device with out any luck. Otherwise it looks great.

Ok I got it, I had to turn off WIFI then turn on the BT and it works like a charm.

Ok, I successfully managed to update to 1.2 using the instructions on page 1.

After I restored my apps with Titanium lots of apps Force Close'd so I decided to do a factory reset. This is where it gets weird because whatever I try I can't get the Streak to boot anymore. I've tried factory reset, wiping data/cache from Recovery, reflashes the new baseband and 1.2 ROM but it won't reboot anymore, it gets stuck a the b/w Dell logo.

Any suggestions what more I could try?

I did the same thing with the same results. I had to use the recovery image for O2 then install clock work then install Steve's 1.1.1 and start over. It took me a bit, but I think starting over with the recovery image will do it.

I see the same happening on mine and I am on Vodafone - never had any issues when I was on 2.1 but I can see significant reduction in bars in 2.2 even signal dropouts - if this persists - I will have no option but to move backwards

Yeah went through all of that and eventually got up & running, got force close on everything, and laggier than my old pentium 166,, uninstalled the antivirus & rebooted and all's good.

I recall Stephen saying that when the Official Dell Froyo comes out, it will overwrite the baseband anyway. In any case, worst case scenario you have 2 options.

1) flash back to 2.1 official,

2) flash the new ROM that will be posted here hours later which will be based on the Official ROM. :) This is more often a better ROM anyway.

BTW... just to clarify... you gotta flash the baseband first, then the 1.2 ROM. Thought I'd mention that just in case... :)

Already flashed it, went well without a hitch, took all of 15 minutes from 1.6 to 2.2. Thanks a lot for the great work guys and making it so easy for all of us as well!

Dell need to fix up!

righty for anyone who cares...

not working

- music pause* (.m4a)

- green streak accross screen in 'movie player'

- 720 vid recording (YES - selected custom, then 720, then mpeg)

what's fixed

- green streak in you tube (worth the update alone :))

- tethering

what's not tested

- call waiting (not available on UK o2 PAYG - my carrier/plan)

what's pants

- dell stage (not Steve's fault obv)

(known) fixable bugs

- no external sound, add/remove h'phones + restart player

- rotation, toggle rotation off/on

what i've taken out

- dell stage UI

- launcher

- nero back up

what i've tested as working for me

- market

- app form sd install

- wifi

- data (HSPDA)

- BT (paired headset)

- root access

on the whole thanks very much :)

doesn't seem a radical change in terms of speed... which is fine cos v.1 was a damn fine build :(

thanks again

*if anyone wants to 'fix' the play/pause problem - then rename the file extension of the attached to .apk & copy to phone

remove music.apk from system/app (you'll need root access i'm sure...)

& install the attachment - this is exactly the same as the std player, but works (i think's from 2.1, but i got it from xda :()

MusicInstallable.zip

Ok, I did all of that and once I got 1.2 booted again I tried a factory reset to make sure everything was wiped.

Guess what, Streak doesn't boot anymore. So what other alternatives are there to a factory reset to clear all data?

I set the camera to custom, 720p, mpeg4 and now it locks up when I press the expose button.

After killing the app the camera itself is unable to be accessed until a reboot.

Any suggestions?

Hi all,

Well my original Jawbone paired and works fine however my Nokia BH-500 is no longer recognised as such it just displays a number and letter sequence it does how ever work and still allows volume control but as reported earlier i can no longer forward or rewind or change tracks with it as i have done on previous builds trying to change tracks now somehow activates the built in Music player and both play although as i don't usually use this feature it doesn't bother me. I am using Rockplayer V.1215 and am having no issues at all with Video playback with my unconverted files and they all play perfectly and look stunning and everything else is working fine for me. I'm on VodaFone on my unlocked Streak and am seeing full signal strength most of the time which i started seeing in the last couple of weeks whilst on V1.0 and its not fluctuating wildly WiFi signal strength is also good and stable for me.

Hi guys, I have an unlocked AT&T streak that I updated to Stephen's FroYo v1.2.0.

Like some other people I have been having trouble installing apps from the market. I did run rm on the data folder and deleted everything, then chmodded it to 777, but some apps still won't install.

I think it's because some permission is missing to allow the installation of shared libraries in the cache. This is what I got with lolcat while installing Google Goggles:


D/vending ( 642): [50] VendingNotificationManager.showNotification(): Showing notification:

[/codebox]

Searching for those errors about failing to cache the libs brought me back to threads about this rom.

Does anybody know the full path where those libraries get installed so I can check the permissions?

yes it does but the number of framework changes to get it to work is huge so im looking at it for my next version - android DOES NOT natively support multiple cameras. any device using more than one needs custom changes

alright cool.... i hope to see it in the next release.... i appreciate u even looking into adding it. your the man!!!

hi guys,

have just about finished testing...

the no external sound is a bit annoying when it returns again & again... does anyone know a fix for this or know which part of the rom i need to amend to resolve?

what's alannoying me is the youtube rotaion....

the rotation really sticks after using then youtube app... needs a reboot...

anyone got a suggestion or could tell me what part of the old build i need to copy into the new rom?

i never really had a problem with rotation on v.1.0

i like having no green streak in youtube vids & tethering working

thanks in advance
