Guest OmegaStalker Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Ok firstly; Thanks Steve for all your hard work on 1.7 but ive been having a consistant problem since 1.6 which is; Everytime i use the browser (any stock, miren or dolphin) everytime i go onto wikipedia the app just shuts down, there was another website but i forgot what it was... i know you need logs but im not sure how to produce them so if you tell me i can produce them... Oh another thing i dont really like the new phone area of 1.7 anyway to go back to normal Streak 5 one? Edited February 11, 2011 by OmegaStalker
Guest Fone_Fanatic Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Wikipedia works fine over here on 1.7 and stock browser. have you tried clearing your dalvik cache and see if that helps? If you want the old dialer you have to add "stockphone" to the install.txt, theres ways of doing it without reflashing but if you don't know how to produce a log, then manually changing the dialer might be too much for you.

Guest OmegaStalker Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Ok i tried a fresh install by installing the dell stock rom and then clockworking and then installing 1.7 again... Wikipedia worked on dells stock rom but not on 1.7 and another thing is when i write the text file none of the options work like stockphone....
Guest baastien Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Hi You need to replace libskia libraries. There's somewhere in the forum a link to download it. Search them with keywords 'libskia' and 'fards' (I found the right ones thank to this guy). Ready, steady, googlelize it ! Edited February 17, 2011 by baastien

So when people are putting on the install.txt file where are they putting it because no matter where it goes 1.7 keeps on being the same...
Guest baastien Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Thank you that really helped i managed to find it Fards is too awesome... So when people are putting on the install.txt file where are they putting it because no matter where it goes 1.7 keeps on being the same... No prob You have to leave your install.txt on sd card root. Go to steve's 1.7.0 release post there are crucial info there.
Guest OmegaStalker Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Ok I dont know where the root of the sd card is can someone just show me where exactly where I need to put it...
Guest XsCode Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 if yer using adb type adb push <the file you want> /sdcard/ Ok I dont know where the root of the sd card is can someone just show me where exactly where I need to put it...
Guest popetodd Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) You might also try just making a link from /system/lib/libskiagl.so to /system/lib/libskiGL.so, it looks like there is just a naming issue and there needs to be a lib with the upper case GL in it so a link might just do it. The replacement file is just upper case named, the binary is a duplicate of the existing file. Edited February 17, 2011 by popetodd
Guest XsCode Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Sorry, but that is stupid... if that's the case, just rename the library with adb remount adb mv /system/lib/libskiagl.so /system/lib/libskiGL.so You might also try just making a link from /system/lib/libskiagl.so to /system/lib/libskiGL.so, it looks like there is just a naming issue and there needs to be a lib with the upper case GL in it so a link might just do it.
Guest popetodd Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Why would you call it stupid? If there is any other code that IS functional using the existing library then renaming it would disable that code. In order to mitigate that possibility (adding the contents of the zip just adds another file with the upper case into the file system you know) a link would be the proper response. It is how it is done in the Unix world, I've been an admin for the last 15 years working Solaris and Linux for top financials so I definitely know of what I am talking about in this instance.
Guest OmegaStalker Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Not to interrupt but im still no closer to understanding where to put the darn install.txt file! on a quick side note how do i root my streak is already rooted if i install steves 1.7?

The install.txt goes in /sdcard in the file system, but when you mount it on your computer as an external drive it goes in the cards root (that is the same place as /sdcard when the card gets remounted on the Streak) Edited February 17, 2011 by popetodd
Guest XsCode Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Because nothing is functional using the other naming... Well done on the Solaris.. I too used to admin boxes for a similar period, but it was Green Screen Serial SCO-Unix terminal servers... I also know what I'm talking about.. :D Why would you call it stupid?

Guest popetodd Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) That doesn't make it stupid, it makes it cautious overkill. If you are positive about that then yes, a rename would be the way. Are you positive about that? Edited February 17, 2011 by popetodd
Guest XsCode Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 I've pointed about 5 ppl (and fards at least the same) with various problems all relating to 2D rendering which verify that it seems to be the naming that counts... if all else fails, just upload the files I posted in the main 1.7.0 thread.

Guest OmegaStalker Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Is the place i have placed the file in the root of the SDcard? Ive attached a image to show where i put it... Edited February 17, 2011 by OmegaStalker

Interesting, seems fards didn't know that until I pointed it out about 5 hours ago on the main 1.7 thread. :D Edited February 17, 2011 by popetodd
Guest popetodd Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Is the place i have placed the file in the root of the SDcard? Ive attached a image to show where i put it...Yup, that's the spot. :D
Guest OmegaStalker Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Yup, that's the spot. :D So why are none of the options being applied? i put it in before installing 1.7 and still its the same...
Guest XsCode Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 I didn't say anything about WHO discovered the reason it didn't work, I just said it was easier to rename than symlink as everyone who has renamed/overwritten has had their problem fixed. Regardless of the root reason, either method will work..... sorry if I offended... :D Interesting, seems fards didn't know that until I pointed it out about 5 hours ago on the main 1.7 thread. :D
Guest popetodd Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 So why are none of the options being applied? i put it in before installing 1.7 and still its the same... You are using Windows I see, usually Win hides the extensions it knows unless explicitly told not to. Make sure the file is not not really named install.txt.txt, Windows has done this to me before.

Regardless of the root reason, either method will work..... sorry if I offended... :D No offense. :) As I said it doesn't really overwrite it when installing that zip though, the names are different because of the capitalization. So there are 2 on the system after installation, one with capitalization on the GL and the original lower case named file, so that won't really tell us if removing the original named file will break anything. Peace XsCode, you had my respect a while ago. :D Edited February 17, 2011 by popetodd
