StreakDroid 1.4.6 Annoncement

[Guest Crinos512]

su

i.e. use root

still nothing... and now adb is returning nothing as well....

is the android-rules file correct?

<bummed>

[Guest craigdabbs]

As a Ubuntu developer and Canonical employee, I'm very glad you liked it :P

i thought i recognised it somewhere :D

[Guest symbiotix]

I love the concept of giving each release a "name" or "alias"... Makes it so much easier when you've skipped a couple versions, then come back to upgrade!

[Guest fards]

Alright, I've been following this thread (and it's predecessors) for a while, ... and I finally thought I'd take the plunge and try out this new ROM everyone seems to be taken by. I seem to have run into a snag though and have registered just to ask for help.

Dell Streak

Baseband: GAUSB1A111231-US

Kernel: 2.6.29-perf

Build: 6601

The only problem I'm experiencing is with fastboot. I'm trying to use my home PC running Kubuntu x86_64 (10.10) w/ KDE 4.5.3.

I have ADB installed and functional...

$ adb devices

sees my Streak fine...

$ fastboot devices

does not.

/etc/udev/rules.d/90-android.rules

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c01", MODE="0666", OWNER="crinos" #Normal

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0c02", MODE="0666", OWNER="crinos" #Recovery

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bb4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0fff", MODE="0666", OWNER="crinos" #Fastboot[/codebox]

Can anyone help me out?

bb 31 may not work...

you need the qdl but the vendor ID is all wrong there...

this is 99-android.rules

[code]SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”413c″, ATTR{idProduct}=="a005", MODE="0666", OWNER="fards" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}==”413c″, ATTR{idProduct}=="b007", MODE="0666", OWNER="fards"[/code]

I also have a 51-android (which is suspect is left over from a while ago and not used)

[code]SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666"[/code]

also use

fastboot -i 0x413c whatever in ubuntu

When i upgrade to 1.4.6 directly from 1.2onbb. I dont get any cell network. I am using rebel sim. Is there a way to get 1.4.6 work with rebel sim ?

Steve Can you please create a nobb version in parellel ?? Thanks in advance.

Anything above 1.2nobb requires a baseband update and RebelSIM doesn't work with the new baseband. But some people have had luck with the 1.3beta firmware for the RebelSIM card. On the other hand, some people have had no luck with it!!

[Guest NoDoze]

ADW 1.3.1 was released the other day.

I get fcs all the time, usually when comin out of standby....

Any ideas....?

Since 1.4.5 the swype keyboard runs slow. I can type a word ahead of when it appears.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”413c″, ATTR{idProduct}=="a005", MODE="0666", OWNER="fards"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}==”413c″, ATTR{idProduct}=="b007", MODE="0666", OWNER="fards"

I also have a 51-android (which is suspect is left over from a while ago and not used)

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="413c", MODE="0666"

also use

fastboot -i 0x413c whatever in ubuntu

I was trying to use fastboot to flash the baseband from page 1 into the phone prior to using clockwork to restore the update.zip. I have changed my rules file like so:

$ sudo cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-android.rules

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”413c″, ATTRS{idProduct}=="a005", MODE="0666", OWNER="crinos"

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}==”413c″, ATTRS{idProduct}=="b007", MODE="0666", OWNER="crinos"

I tried with both ATTR and ATTRS just in case.

however when I try your command:

$ sudo ./fastboot -i 413c devices

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>

commands:

update <filename> reflash device from update.zip

flashall 'flash boot' + 'flash system'

flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition

erase <partition> erase a flash partition

getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable

boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel

flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it

devices list all connected devices

reboot reboot device normally

reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader

options:

-w erase userdata and cache

-s <serial number> specify device serial number

-p <product> specify product name

-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline

is it possible you have a newer version of fastboot? (Thanks for the help by the way... )

Did anybody notice a difference in the density of the screen when upgrading to 1.4.6? I see in build.prop that it is still 160 but my background seemed alot smoother and now my weather widget seems different. Now you u can see the top of the bottom row of characters. Oh, and im using Launcher Pro. I reinstalled the 1.4.6 multiple times but no change in the display.

its fastboot -i 0x413 Youre missing the 0x and you shouldn't need sudo

the reason it's used is because devices doesn't work, so it helps identify the correct device with the other commands

To flash the recovery it's

fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss pat/to/your/recovery.img

I use the one from the latest sdk I think.

I may have one from building the latest android source, but I don't have that on my work linux box, that's just sdk version and works

[Guest anthscorner]

FPS WILL NOT be effected by whats installed im pretty sure the kernel has a bug somewhere stopping fps at 45 for me at least, can anyone on quadrant confirm the max fps they get on planets scene

Had it jump to 48 but mostly 45 on quadrant.

[Guest madmax85812]

[Guest icediced]

Another great update! Not real issues except my Market seems to be acting a little funny - the Downloads page won't display my installed apps and instead says "No downloads from Android Market". Luckily I had App Brain installed so I can still update my apps from there. Clearing Market data and cache, and rebooting didn't solve the problem.

[Guest icediced]

SORRY - DOUBLE POST.

Been using the Streak to post and it sent the post twice.

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

clear data in settings > apps

Hi all,

I'm still running very happily on V1.2 but am looking to move to the latest which i believe now has Swype installed as i am already using a legitimate version of Swype as was lucky to get into the Beta do i need to remove my version of Swype before flashing V1.4.6 or just flash it and not change anything in relation to Swype?

jus flash it wipes system anyway - id recommend removing your current one too just to be sure

[Guest dairymasta]

Just updated from 1.2.0 to 1.4.6, first boot took about 5 minutes-ish, but booted in fine without having to factory reset, all settings still there!

Internet was very slow, so rebooted to apply Fards data tweaks or whatever like it says to do, internet now fastest it's been since 2.1 (I had very slow internet on 1.2.0 and constant HTTP request interrupted pages)...

Just wondering, where's the H icon gone? :s and why no black theme?

And also, for us noobs at overclocked, do we just boot up setCPU and raise the max freq or is there some specific settings we need to put in to OC?

Thanks for the amazing work!!!

[Guest LorD CLockaN]

I was having very poor signal on 1.4.5 and I lost my mobile data connection. I would enable it in settings, but it won't start. I even tried restoring my previous settings with apn backup app, but no go. Than updated to 1.4.6 and tje signal was back on good quality, but still no apn connections.. I even couldn't recieve a mms. So I did a factory reset with clockwork and that die the job..

[Guest Neugene]

I also have a Swype related question. I prefer the version of Swype that I was using previously (1.6.0.36.8214_WVGA). When trying to install it over the version that is embedded in 1.4.6 It tells me that the install was unsuccessful and will not give me the option to uninstall the current version (2.7.49.12469). How can I remove the embedded version and install the the older version?

Thanks,

Chris

remove swype.apk from ./system/app and libswypecore.so from /system/lib

[Guest bostonguy]

remove swype.apk from ./system/app and libswypecore.so from /system/lib

Is it generally safe to remove ROM installed apps in this fashion? If no, are there any 'root' apps that can removed ROM installed apps in a more automated fashion? Or barring that is there a way to determine pieces of apps in /system/lib that should be deleted manually (using root explorer or such) in this case?

On a side note, loaded up 1.4.6 yesterday and am loving it. Great work especially compared to stock 2.2

Great work Steve!
