Guest Truenash Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Hmmm. It seems my install.cfg file didn't work... I don't have the bios start up or the gingerbread keyboard, and not sure if I have volboost. Anyone know what's up with that?
Guest pompeyboyz Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 I have finally given up with 1.6.1 as I was getting fustrated with constant FC on apps and google framework. I have reverted back to 1.6.0. The problems I had: GPS took far too long to lock Apps would not install from market randomly Apps would FC for no reason FC from google framework 1.6.0 was far more stable and I will stay on that for the moment unless anyone knows why I was getting the issues above. Install txt was just density140

It tells you what type in the first post of this thread.
Guest Truenash Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Yes, you didnt read the instructions. it isnt a cfg file for 1.6.1. It tells you what type in the first post of this thread. So I didn't, my bad. However, I had the config saved as install.txt also on the card.
Guest popetodd Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Popetodd, I may be misunderstanding your post, do you only mean on reboot or battery pull? Potentially there are issues with doing a batt pull with the perfmod as the loop file system isn't synched t hen, but I tried it several times during testing and didn't have issues It appears after a battery pull, if I reflash the ROM again it fixes the issue and I am up and running as previously configured. Proper shutdowns and restarts don't seem to cause the problem.
Guest jrfrost Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Does anyone have a problem with Webkey application wil 1.6.1? It used to work on 1.6.0 but not now service will not start. http://androidwebkey.com/ Days it requires root but never seems to ask for root access. JJ
Guest jonnytruth Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 1.6.1 is one of the worst version so far, random reboot, force close and 5% of applications not compatible (tried reinstall many times but end result are always the same). Nice try though! up until version 1.5.2 is good but v1.6.0 and 1.6.1 is not so good, hope all will be fix in the near future, better still hope android 2.3 will be out soon, NOT!
Guest XsCode Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 I don't get any reboots or FC's and all the apps i've tried have had no problems... maybe you are doing something wrong? 1.6.1 is one of the worst version so far, random reboot, force close and 5% of applications not compatible (tried reinstall many times but end result are always the same). Nice try though! up until version 1.5.2 is good but v1.6.0 and 1.6.1 is not so good, hope all will be fix in the near future, better still hope android 2.3 will be out soon, NOT!

So far I havent found that any of my apps have problems(apart from the screenshot apps in the beginning), but then again, I do tend to follow instructions. What apps have you been having problems with? You say its the worst version, have you done a reset? Did you just restore apps from a backup? You just throw your toys out the cot, without giving any details? How can 'it' be fixed if you only rant and not actually give dtails of your problems? Edited January 28, 2011 by stoney1973
Guest Truenash Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Sorted all my problems, and so far (touch wood), very happy! Thanks for pointing out my mistake with the install file stoney. Jonny, people here can help you sort your problems out, but you need to give details instead of just ranting.
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Had a monster of a day. Did the whole process on an as-of-yet stock Dell Streak, o2 2.2. This morning, flashed streak mod, then new baseband, then 1.5 for factory reset. Then flashed 1.6.1. All was fine, all great. Turned it off for an exam I had, came out of that, phone wouldn't come out of airplane mode. Couldn't get it work after a couple of restarts, so I factory restored. No luck. I was on way to London, so obviously I needed a phone! Tried flashing 1.61 again a few times, as it was still on the memory card, each time it just got stuck on the streakdroid load screen, with DJ steve no longer phasing in a out. Had to buy a £13 samsung to do the day! Attempting reflash of everything now, wish me luck. 1.6.1 doesn't support Factory Reset as stated in POST 1! There are instructions in POST 1 how to do a fac reset...
Guest TheSacredSoul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Ok got a weird issue. 1.6.1 had been awesome to me these few days. Fast, stable, responsive. The only issue I have is of in-call volume. Many people I talk to say I am whispering even when I am speaking as usual. I cant seem to understand what could cause such a problem. I dont have any call recording apps installed. I am able to hear the other party perfectly though. For the short term, ive resorted to use the earpiece that came with the Streak. If anyone have any suggestions, please let me know. I cam via a clean install by the way. 1.5.1, fac reset, 1.6.1. No install.txt. Default option. Edited January 28, 2011 by TheSacredSoul

Yep, and as you can see in my post I followed those instructions. Unfortunately, after it went wrong the first time, and I was out, with no 1.5.1 on me, I had to work with what I had. Read before you comment on others ability to follow instructions.

Jonny, people here can help you sort your problems out, but you need to give details instead of just ranting. WOW! WOw! Wow, OMG! Don't all be so defensive, I am just making a statement and opinion (wrong or right, it's just a though). I'm not to bother about 1.6.1 so 1.5.2 works perfect for me, Calm Down, Chill Out, Don't Be Angry EVERYONE! It's Friday, weekend start now for me and will be soon for you all (finished early every Friday lol). In the words of Mr. legend Steven Tyler "I know why we’re here. We’re all here because we’re not there" lol lol lol
Guest XsCode Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 You registered on this forum and made your first post about how crap 1.6.1 is, and you wonder why the people we get defensive? If you don't have anything positive to say, don't ! If you want help with the problems, post what you did and maybe someone will help. WOW! WOw! Wow, OMG!

Guest suprajargon Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Steve, have you ever considered implementing your own skin? I know lots of people like just the stock or the different launchers you have available. But I thought it would be cool if you made a "DJSteve" skin..IMHO. I've seen some nice ones out there, and have them installed, but it's just so annoying having to run a million little programs to get all the widgets needed. Would be sweet if you could just have an option in your install file and the skin was "stock" so to speak.. But maybe maybe you perfer the standard look... In any case, just a suggestion.

I was a little too impatient waiting for someone to reply so did a little digging on my own. Found a thread in xda for Hero. 3 Audio files to be copied to System/etc. Was a little hesitant at first but took the leap of faith. Did a backup. Copied all 3 files over (Although, by default, only AudioFilter.csv is present). Rebooted. And voila. Everything seems a ton louder. Tested it out with 5 different people with different phones and everyone said there's major improvement. If anyone has call volume problems, I suggest you try it out. Of course, do a backup first. And I'd appreciate it if anyone if some experience would take a look and perhaps customize it for Streak. When I open those files, the letters 'HTC' were everywhere but it still worked.AudioFilter.zip Edited January 28, 2011 by TheSacredSoul

Hm, the next time you made factory reset, you haven't wrote that you went again with the 1.5.1-flash- reset process.. I've read your post again and agian I'm telling you that you can't fac reset 1.6.1 as you tried (stated in your post) Maybe I missunderstood.. In that case NHF please.
Guest TheSacredSoul Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 nice find.hmm....time to do a backup then.... Did it work for you?
Guest MrTheKLine Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Ive tryed useing the rom manager to backup my rom now and the app force closes too does it even work on my streak and by force close i mean the whole os dies and reboots
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Have you tried removing those scripts that Fards reccommended few pages back??
Guest MrTheKLine Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Have you tried removing those scripts that Fards reccommended few pages back?? I wasent shure on how to use streak mod so i dident want to risk it unless there is a noob proof step by step.
Guest LorD CLockaN Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 well those 5 steps were for noobs ;) The point is to remove those few scripts (files) from that directory from internam memory, thats why you need either adb or root explorer or terminal emulator (term) from market
