Patch 1.5.0

This will patch files in /system/app and set permissions to resolve :

- Location bug

- Calendar Bug

- Luminosity set bug

- Ringtone selection bug

Note : Some infos lines in the script are in french but no matters

Hope it will help :) (sorry for bad english)

Outstanding! Thanks for your efforts! :)

Rebooted twice to dell logo. This did not happen with 1.4.6 or 2.2 official with 1.4.6 kernel. Also has a strange slowdown following a call - had to reset.

Maybe i need to factory reset...

[Guest vinokirk]

dont play mkvs sounds like a plan - i hate them with a vengence personally

They are 720p .mkv's that I have converted into .mp4's.

They played fine on 1.1.1 but then from 1.2 onwards they gave the horrible green line.

There is definately something up with the media player. Even with .mp4's that come from non 720p .mkv files, I still get an error message playing over the video that says 'This is an audio only file'.

So there is still an issue with the media player.

The main use for my Streak is to play media files, so it's a big thing for me.

Just chiming in with another me-too on dock-related sound issues.

I use a desktop dock at home and in my car; the dock in the car doesn't actually detect that it's docked (but I still get power and audio-out). I suspect that's due to the voltage coming in via the car-charger plugged into the desktop dock's USB in, so likely unrelated to the latest build.

At home, however, I'm experiencing some problems using a desktop dock as well. The Streak successfully detects it's been placed in a home dock, and I have the options set so that it asks me when I dock it whether or not it should disable the onboard (rear) speaker. I'm at around 85% failure rate with respecting the choice I make on this prompt: at home, I want it to remain enabled so I can hear my alarm go off, but it's only worked once in the last 5 days. Other days, I'll see the alarm going off, but have no sound - pick up phone off dock, rear speaker kicks in and you hear the alarm.

Well I booted up with the headphones in, then once in I took them out. Been good for about an hour now. If it comes back and going to 1.4.6 doesn't fix it, ill call dell and return.

Well, going back to 1.4.6 sorted it all out. No more speaker bugs. The rear speaker works perfect again. I am going to try 1.5 again later as the speaker was literally the only bug I came across. Here is hoping it works after I install it again.

Love these releases, thanks a ton!

Steven said on his tweet that he will release 1.5.1 as soon as he gets back from work :)

[Guest jannism]

I bet no-one's noticed an FC on System Update.

I mean, why would you? :)

[Guest Adilson]

Is there a way to do a full backup? By full I mean, everything, from contacts to applications and restore them all at once easily?

I want to help testing but can't afford to go from one rom to another and setting it all my environment again.

Ok, answering myself, I discovered Nandroid. Looks like it does work the way I want it right? TIA.

Hi guys,

this rom for streak looks awesome but i have a LOT OF WEIRD BUGS with 1.4.6

Like (in order of wtf makes me angry):

-wild reboots while playing games/watching video content on my SD/when using google navigation

** THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT is that sometimes the phone don't reboot from itself, i have to pull battery off. Sometimes, the phone don't reboot at all and i have to format /system partition and reflash the rom.

-Locking screen is unlockable. Got to push on lock button and try to unlock it many times to get it unlocked.

-Got GPS disconection each minute when using google navigation (and sometimes a disconection get the phone rebooting)

if you could help getting those f*cking bugs off ...

please help me :'(

[Guest ClippinWings]

please help me :'(

The lock issue is nto steve's fault... it's a design flaw.

when the phone is in a pocket, the screen seems to get "de-sensitized" and makes unlocking it difficult if not impossible.

Some things to try:

1 - press press the home or back buttons then try again

2 - turn screen off then on and try again

3 - two handed: hold the unlock slider with one figer, when the dot appears that you are supposed to drag the slider to, touch it with another finger, then release the first finger(simulates a sliding action)

4 - Get the menu unlock app to enable unlock with the menu button

5 - don't carry it in your pocket

Has anyone been able to fix the wifi hotspot? If not how do I go back to 1.4 ?

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

wifi hotspot should be sorted in 1.5.1

Nandroid is the way to go if you want to RESTORE your phone at the point you backed it up.

This restores the ROM, settings,...everything.

Basically it saves your whole phone as an image and then restores it from there, so even if you flash a NEW rom and restore with nandroid, you will get the ROM back that the nandroid was taken from.

If you want to restore your apps and settings but keep the new rom you've flashed then go for titanium backup.

It restores my 400+ apps flawlessly. it takes about 15 mins but they're all as they were, e.g. levels completed, notes I have saved are restored...etc.

Hope that makes sense.

That made a lot of sense, thanks. So I think I'll use a combination of both. I'll make a nandroid and a titanium backup. If I decide to keep the rom I'm testing, I'll restore via titanium, if not, via nandroid.

Thanks!

Is there any chance that wma/wmv will be supported again?

The 1.6 that came with the O2 streak supported it and then it dissapeared from 2.1 onwards... don't know if the official 2.2 supports it?

cheers

Does nandroid work with the streak? I thought it wasn't working awhile back.

I use rebel sim on an 02 locked phone.

basically i installed o2 2.2 and found my simcard to be not working.

after trawling forums and things for hours, doing a few things wrong, i feel i have half a grasp of what im doing

installed 2.2 stock (o2)

followed tutorial on qdlt tool on the website (i have no idea what any of this did)

flashed stock recovery for 2.1 (8105)

updated to 2.1 pkg rom (worked fine)

flashed a clockwork mod recovery

flashed the amss.mbn

Tried to install 1.5 nobaseband with clockwork recov.

now after installing its just stuck on the dell logo (may i add its the dell logo which goes from standard white to new flashy colors (first noticed after 2.2 official)

basically it stays on the logo, vibrating slightly for a split second, occasionally rebooting and starting over again, occasionaly it will go to the phone screen for about 2 seconds, the screen is non responsive and then i go back to the dell logo and it starts the vibrating process again.

any help :)?

tried factory reset ?, tho you didnt need to flash amss for nobaseband update as it doesn work with rebel (rebel needs 2.1 baseband)

also folks 1.5.1 is up for new baseband users, rebel sim users wont be until weekend
