StreakDroid 1.7.0 ( aka HD7 Edition ) Release Post

Official StreakDroid Website:StreakDroid.com

I HAVE REMOVED FRING SUPPORT FROM THIS BUILD FROM NOW ON, IM SICK OF WASTING 2 DAYS FIXING THE FRAMEWORKS TO ALLOW FRING TO WORK, IF YOU WANT FRING SUPPORT GO COMPLAIN TO THEM (@FRING ON TWITTER ALSO)

This Release Version incorporates changes in the INSTALLATION PROCESS, please read the options available to you and the correct method of applying them before proceeding to flash the 1.7 Zip File!

( Disclaimer : As before, this ROM is heavily updated and still being developed at a fairly rapid pace. Bugs are listed below.)

PERFMOD IS NOT enabled by default in this version, had some reports of stabily problems but their is now an installer option to reenable it if you wish, if you choose not to enable the installer will automaticly trasfer your data back to save a reset :P

also lots of other little tweaks been added

1.0 > INSTALLATION CHANGES :

With 1.7, several choices must be made before flashing the Zip file via StreakMod or Clockwork Recovery. These choices are made with very simple edits to a Text file ( explained in section 1.2 below )

Important Options Available ( other options are listed below in Section 1.1 ) -

A.Rebel SIM Compatibility : Users who previously downloaded the NOBB version of the file may now simply select the option by typing it into the text file before flashing the Zip. Please note that Rebel SIM users are still required to manually Fastboot flash the 2.1 8105 Baseband for compatibility.

B.Launcher Option : Users may now select their default Launcher of choice before installation. The options available are LauncherPro, ADW, Stage UI and GingerBread Launcher. GingerBread launcher is installed by default if nothing is chosen.

C.Pixel/LCD Density : Default LCD Density can be set during Installation. Values available for selection are : 120,140,180,200 and 240 DPI.

D.Other Settings : Other settings available include -

•Volume Boost

( flashes the A Modified kernel with louder volume hack ),

•Tabmail

( installs the Galaxy Tab Email Client port beta 2 instead of stock email client ),

•Teetermod

( installs Teetermod edit to get HTC Teeter working, installs the app and a modified build prop with 240dpi lcd density )

•us120/140/180/200/240 -

(installs build.prop with USA related Region Settings and an LCD Density of 120140/180/200/240)

•bios

( installs the Streak BIOS Bootanimation )

•noapps

(this will install an absolute base system with no additional apps installed and the gingerbread launcher as the default launcher)

1.1 > INSTALLATION HOW TO

A. You will need to create a text file on your Streak's MicroSD Card. The file can be created in your Text Editor of choice ( such as Notepad ).

B.This file will be called 'install.txt' - Ensure that this is the exact syntax and that the file is saved with a '.txt' suffix.

C.This file must be saved in the root of the sd card.

E.Inside this text file, you may type each option that you select on a separate line. All the options available to you are listed below. Here is an example :

adwlauncher

volboost

tabmail

bios

[/codebox]


That is it. You can save this text file as install.cfg 

You will then boot into recovery ( StreakMod or Clockwork ) and begin the Zip file installation process as usual.

[Guest stryfe604]

So will this update wipe everything again from 1.6.1 or should i still do a nandroid back up?

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

[Guest rockymtnbri]

Thanks for the new thread!

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

yea 16- to 170 should work

[Guest alexmoi]

Speed in quadrant is about the same. At 4 times faster than the stock android it doesn't really matter. LOVE the streak 7 phone/contact app. The writing in the notification app is different.... in a good way lol. Runs great from a strait install from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0.

Thanx again for great work :P

[Guest pjg_pigeon]

anyone experiencing very slow download? I fear 1.7.1 may be out before my download finishes. :P :D

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

[Guest pjg_pigeon]

[Guest Wee Thomas]

My install.txt consists of:

volboost

tabmail

bios

perfmod

I've not exhaustively tested this, but sound playback in Miren browser (flash video) and RockPlayer Lite only comes through the headset. Speaker works for music, navigation, and phone.

[Guest rebski]

Thanks again Steve.

I have just completed a straight clean upgrade from 1.6.1 to 1.7.0 with no problems or issues.

Still checking out your improvements, what I have seen so far I really like. Particularly the Tablet Phone dialler. Also I like the harmonisation of the Browser and Phone icons with the Texting/Messaging icon.

Thanks too for the new Live Wallpapers.

The new font may take a little adjustment on my part to get used to. But all is good, very good, so far.

[Guest SKYSCRAPER04]

[Guest scottd10]
