Guest tv-arnd Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) I have come from 2.2.2 and its looking good. Only problem I have is the screen not rotating even after toggling its on and off a few times. Is there any fix or workround? Glad you asked, I was frustrated being the only one. 2 solutions: 1. Create a launcherpro activity for GSensor. Calling this, you can calibrate. This solves it (until next reboot) 2. Power off, run one of the boot modes (power + camera button), select MMB-BB. Then run all the self-tests. Tip: you need to play with the volume buttons to get through. After passing the gsensor test, auto rotate was finally fixed for me. No guarantee, own risk!!!

Guest bendonahue Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hi Guys, I'm quite new to all this and am having trouble getting this to work. I have followed the instructions and the system boots for a few second then gets stuck in a reboot loop for a minute or so and then just sits on the Initializing...... message and does nothing. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Cheers :D Ok, so after looking through this thread (which I really should have done first, sorry) it would appear that I am not the only one having the loop reboot problem. It would also appear that it may have something to do with O2 devices. My device has been flashed via QDLTool before I attempt the upgrade but still does not work. I have tried removing options from the Install.txt file in case that affects anything and I have attempted to upgrade the baseband but that just completely crashes the device and will not boot up (the buttons on the right hand side just flash) Anybody got any advice for me?? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but tried it and still not working. May have to go back to official 2.2.2 Deffo will not rotate in stage ui but will with adw and launcher pro. Tis strange and annoying Edited March 26, 2011 by waj1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it boot. Then flashed 1.6.1 and got it to boot like a charm. Along the line i added generous amounts of factory reset, from the 1st screen(not from clockworkmod).

Guest springah Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 At what point are you having problems with angry birds? Installing? Unmount sd card, install, remount s card. This is for the android market. For amazon angry birds I have a post a couple days back that has a link to how to install it. http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...stall-problems/ awesome, that worked, thanks! i was trying to install rio from another dir on the phone while un-mounting the SD - wasn't working. tried from root like the guide suggested and it worked fine.

Guest cdzo72 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Guys, I just acquired a used Streak and tried updating from 1.6 to 2.1 Eclair and my baby got stuck at the DEll logo. Now, I have read so much in the forums that my head is spinning... so my question is, exactly what steps do I need to take to get from my DELL logo that is now sticking on a Streak that has never has DJ Steve's StreakDroid ROM installed to it, to back up and running with his new version of 1.9??? Please help me, I am lost!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help me, I am lost!!! Whenever mine got stuck at the Dell logo i just pulled the battery. Sometimes i might have to do this 3 times but it always came good in the end. Also, you will have to look back across all the other StrekDroid threads to upgrade to Stephens versions...baseband etc... it is all very easy to do just follow the insructions 'to the letter'.

Guest waj1234 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Just thought I would add that the problem with stage ui home screen not rotating only happens if you include teetermod or resolution set to 240. Any other and it rotates fine. It was trial and error a a teeter did not work anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hans A. Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I would install stock Froyo and then upgrade from there. Ok, so after looking through this thread (which I really should have done first, sorry) it would appear that I am not the only one having the loop reboot problem.

Guest Hans A. Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I upgraded on top of 1.81 without factory reset or wiping anything. Works fine. Didn't really have too many problems with 1.81 so I can't really see if it made a difference beyond changing my background wallpaper. Battery still sucks, but I've learned to work around that by simply keeping it plugged in as often as possible. I now have a usb cable for my desk, one for the car, and I'm going to buy a 3rd for the kitchen so I can plug it in there if I don't want to be tied to my desk.

Guest Reddy232 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I had the same problem to start with, you just need to clear the data/cache for email through applications in settings and the whole thing came to life and worked perfectly ever since. No FC's or glitches....well none that are important anyway...sometimes unread mail shows in bold but IS marked as read and you can't adjust the fonts but this is a beta and much better than a stock email so i'm happy with it as is, if it gets improvements then even better hehe ------ Can i install the new StageUI without losing my other launchers? so get it to replace the gingerbread but still able to switch back to launcherpro if i dont like it using something like homeswitcher for example? If i can does the stageui hog resources in the background or is it not active until i switch to it? I have the same problem and clearing the cache/data did not help. Any other solutions? Is there anyway I can go to normal email and get rid of tabmail without reflash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed to stop my constant bootloops! If that works you should be able to add anything you like to the install.txt but if you get stuck in another bootloop then try building up your install.txt more gradually. Since flashing doesn't take very long you can just sit by the TV & do it :D Although if it gets stuck in a bootloop you'll have to have a computer handy to change the install.txt (I do that by going into the streakmod recovery and mounting the SD card for access via the pc).

Guest Hans A. Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Wanted to report that I just noticed the problem I had in 1.81 where the dialer would not pop up right away when I had an incoming call, has been fixed in 1.91. One issue I just noticed today is that the comma for a pause does not seem to work when you put it in your contacts or in the dialer. Semicolon does. When I went from a rooted O2 official 2.2, to Steve's 1.9, I flashed the rom on as normal and as it reset itself for first boot I caught that & went into the bootloader menu & did a factory reset before it had the chance to do a first boot.

Guest mtyrrell Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Glad to say 1.9.0 seems to have fixed the Wikipedia issues. However I still seem unable to download files such as PDFs from my University website on my phone. Or any other website for that matter. Seems the problem is in both the default browser and the Miren's. Any advice would be appreciated :D Keep up the great work Steve! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite is xScope and it downloads just fine. It has a selectable download folder which is accessible from the browser by way of its own file manager.

Seems to be an error of downloading so I'm going to say it's probably the University website rather than the browsers. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HOkay Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Excellent! This worked perfectly! Thanks very much for the help :D Glad I could help! I really didn't want to lose all my texts etc but had to give it a go to see if it worked. At least it worked & didn't leave me with a constantly rebooting phone AND all my data being wiped! Since I don't think I've said it yet: THANK YOU STEVE! This is an excellent ROM and is far superior to the stock 2.2 one :D I hope I can help develop some of this stuff one day, still too much of a damn noob atm tho!

Guest zero410 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi I just encountered a problem with the new build on my phone. I had upgrade fro 1.6.1 straight to 1.9. The issue currently is that the video camera is not working. I can take pictures but as soon as I try to take video, the camera would lock up and force close. Then i would encounter some random reboots on my phone as well, but it wouldnt go through the whole android setup either, it just resets quickly, but again I am unable to shoot video. I've tried clearing the dalvik-cache (from /data) and did a factory reset, but the camera still freezes. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
