StreakDroid 1.8.1 ( aka Bug Extermination 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 :huh:

also lots of other little tweaks been added

1.0 > INSTALLATION CHANGES :

With 1.8, 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[/code]




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

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

[Guest jmhalder]

Right on the tails of the official AT&T release too ;-)

[Guest Edrill]

Sweet!! Would've already been on my Streak if I wasn't on the road right now!! Another week or so before I actually get to this!! :huh:

[Guest ClippinWings]

does this fix the lock up bug with pressing menu on the unlock screen?

[Guest Stephen Hyde]

it seems to, i havent seen it myself and none of testers have mentioned it either :huh:

[Guest ClippinWings]

it seems to, i havent seen it myself and none of testers have mentioned it either :huh:

very cool... i finally chalked my inability to get 1.7 working to my absolute stone cold set habit of pressing menu to unlock after using menuunlock for weeks.

[Guest lonegungrrly]

before this thread gets 10000 posts deep,

Steve, are you planning on adding default portrait as an install option in any of your future builds?? that would be awesome I hate landscape, but I hate the auto rotation ten times more :huh:

[Guest lonegungrrly]

thanks for the info, i'll get updating my streakdroid!! :huh:

[Guest dacho]

Does this build fix the leds? In the last build leds would turn off like on the stock o2 release. I really like it when they just dim but not go completely off. Thanks

[Guest aweAMsome]

Thank you very much Steve and friends.

[Guest mancterrier]

Downloading now Ta Steve. Things Im hoping for from this build.

Consistent working GPS. Mines been up and down in reliability and have sometimes had to reboot to get it working again.

Stuff wasnt getting selected in menus. You selected it then when you went back in it was deselected again

Certain apps werent working. ATP tour app as an example...

Ill let you knwo if they are fixed.. :huh:

[Guest ClippinWings]

Install script still says

Welcome to StreakDroid

V 1.7.0

just an FYI

[Guest dacho]

I forgot to ask if this build fixes the issue with wifi and 3g data not working properly? On the last one if I clear the cache and try it it works but after a reboot it still would not work.

[Guest krrrk]

Install script still says

Welcome to StreakDroid

V 1.7.0

just an FYI

i was coming to post this.

[Guest mancterrier]

Flashed fine thanks. GPS is still doing that thing though where you select/deselect it and when you go back into menu its not changed.

Tried the ATP tour tennis app and thats not working still either.

Fards seemed to think it was something to do with the lib skia?:

[Guest ClippinWings]

Yeah, it needs to have a libskiaGL.so but there is only a libskiagl.so in the file system.

Either create a link (my suggestion) or copy and paste it with the upper case part of the name.

Any idea how I do that in laymans terms mate? I don't really knowhow to use ADB. Is it as simple as renaming it in root explorer or not?

Yup, root explorer yourself to /system/lib, copy then paste then rename.

The usual way.

[Guest aweAMsome]

Great revision, speed up Fpse emulator. Tekken 3 at full speed in landscape mode and so is everything else I've tried.

[Guest vinokirk]
