I need help because I have downloaded streakdroid 2.0 and I try installing it from rom manager but then when I do that my streak just restarts and just goes back to normal froyo? Can anyone help me.
If you did a little research you would find out two things...
ROM Manager does not work with the Streak. You have to flash a custom recovery from fastboot....
I'll let you play with that idea and do some searching. Look through the threads that are called Clockwork Mod, StreakMod and Multi-Recovery Flasher and take your pic of which you wanna use
And uninstall ROM manager from your phone
files needed to update to 2.0
Hi i am a newbie when it comes to customising my streak...
i am running 2.2 at mo is it worth getting this update?
If so where do i get the required files as only links i have found are dead??
many thanks

Please understand that what I'll be doing is giving you advice to keep you from frustrating yourself...
If you are a noob, then StreakDroid 2.0 is NOT for you, it's still under development for the most part and has several issues that make the ROM slightly unstable for everyday use. IF you want StreakDroid, then SEARCH this DELL STREAK forum for the guides needed which have links to the files you will need and use StreakDroid 1.9, without the perfmod so it will be stable for you until you get the hang of things.
Good luck cause you have A LOT of reading to do. IF you don't read, you'll just be pulling your hair out and kicking yourself for having goofed your phone.
Hey guys! I got my atrix 4g around the end of may and i haven't regretted switching from iphone since! . But i don't know alot about android hacking, modding, tips, tricks, features, etc, so as you can see i need help. I was wondering if some of the AMAZING people on the android forum could maybe take me in as an "Apprentice" so that i could learn all the hacking and tricks about atrix or android in general , like i knew when i had an iphone?

How did you learn when you had your iPhone? In most cases most people will search and read this forum time after time and then they fig, it out. So my advice is to read and search before you want to start asking questions im sure somewhere on this thread there is the anwser you are looking for. If you cant find what your looking then you need to find someone in the dev. forum and be nice and they might will help you. There is alot of really good devs out there that are willing to help you. I am a noob too that came from iphone

Yup, read a lot, search a lot, and you will have to try a lot. If you follow instructions, most of the time everything will go fine, but if it doesn't, you also need to look for the answers you will need to get back on track. You will get frustrated a lot, but the best way to learn anything is to try things yourself, and learn by your mistakes.
There are plenty of resources outside of XDA to learn about Android. There are some very good guides in the Atrix forums here also which will help you. Don't expect the devs to teach you programming. You will have to learn that yourself, but the devs will help you when you get stuck...........if, as was said, you treat them nicely!
Remember to post in the correct forums also. You will bring down the fires of hell on you if you post questions in the dev forum, themes in the general forum, etc.
lol thank you both, if its not too much can i run a scenario by you?

1) HKTW is a Chinese version of ginergbread more or less (i.e. Hong Kong Tai Wan), that happens to be usable on a U.S. AT&T Atrix w/ a unlocked boot loader. It's pretty buggy, since it wasn't specially designed for our device or carrier.
2, 3 & 4) To return to stock, which you will have to do if you flash any ROM before being able to OTA (Over The Air) update, you have to flash (a nice word for install) a fresh sbf. A sbf file is a original source file from Motorola that upon installing (i.e. flashing) will return your device back to stock, more or less. For instance, if you were to flash the 1.26 sbf onto your phone, it would exactly like the way you got it from the store; everything back to "normal" and stock. So before you do this you make a backup of your stuff, preferably on a external sd card. That way if you have to flash a sbf file and return to stock for what ever reason, you can re-install your stuff with minimal effort. Here is a good guide for flashing a sbf, explaining what you need and what to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
and here is another for all the sbf files currently:

I'm sure you have more questions, so ask always, and I'll try to help when & where I can.
Ok, so I'm assuming you are running a U.S. AT&T Atrix??
So the first thing you are probably going to want to do is get Root access (like getting a jail break on iphone, more or less):
- If your on 4.1.83 firmware (the most current). You can check by going to setting -> About Phone -> System Version. You will need to use Gingerbreak to Root your phone. This will most likely wipe your phone, so save what you can on your pc, ext. sd card, etc.
Instructions here:

And Crap, my wife called and whats to grab a bite to eat... start there, and I'll edit and add to the post later.

Hi guys,
I am running the Lite'ning Rom v5.0 XXKG6 on my Orange UK Supplied SGS2. I would like to know if it is possible or if anyone is able to get the Orange Signal Boost App to run on this or any other custom ROM?
I don't really want to go back to the standard Orange ROM, but could really do with the UMA Signal Boost App as I get very poor signal in the office.
There is another thread which talks about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036713 on the Desire S, but they haven't managed to get it to work, however I beleive that is becasue they are trying to port it from another device. Whereas we know it works on the SGS2 already!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help or make a suggestion
Sorry to bump this, I was wondering if I was the only Orange UK user who would like to use UMA Signal Boost App on a custom ROM?
I guess you didn't see this thread then on page 1 of this forum.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
I'll keep an eye on this, because it's the only thing keeping me from running a debranded ROM!
Nope missed that, I think it was because I kept searching for UMA, which didn't come up in the other thread!
Suggest everyone follows the existing thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, lets hope an APK is developed soon.

Orange Signal Boost - I9100 / ICS 4.0.3 xxLPH - SIM Card Not Recognised
Hi all – I just wanted to give my experience of Signal Boost on ICS xxLH.
I followed the instructions given by 5aq1b on page 18 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20803760&postcount=172) using the SignalBoost.rar posted by Joey2o11 on page 12 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19692151&postcount=119).
When I restart my phone it does not recognise the SIM card.
When I copied the new default.prop to /system, I was given the option to merge with the existing default.prop.
Was this the correct choice or should I have first deleted the existing default.prop?
I've restored using CWM so no problem.
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
I really do not want to return to the stock Orange ROM but I'm not so happy about having to stand at the bottom of the garden to make a call .
With thanks
I am also trying to get this working, would love to use a custom rom, but rely on the signal boost app! If anyone has any ideas i am willing to try them out, in the meantime i shall keep trying!

Hiya guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I got this week. Im finding the phone is brilliant to use at the moment and works very well. It's alot better for me to use this device that it was when I had my previous phone which was an iPhone (don't shoot me)...
Anyway here we are. I've had the phone 4 days and i'm wanting to root it. The main reason for this is that I hate bloatwear. Samsung have filled it with all their own specific software that they find useful and I don't want that. All I want is a lovely OS with no Samsung to worry about etc.
Right a little about what i'm wanting. Ok so the phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. The andoid version is 2.3.4, the Baseband is I9100XXKI1 and the Build is GINGERBREAD.
Im basically wanting to install the exact same version of Gingerbread but without all the bloatwear. Is this possible? Im completely new to this so any guides and tutorials that you can point me to would be brilliant. Is there anything I should be wary of when rooting my phone etc.
I have been looking around on the net and from what I can see Cyanogen M7 seems to be the same version as what im on now other than you don't get the touchwiz.
Any help would be brilliant on where to start.
If there are any questions then please ask.
Regards,
Just freeze the bloat yourself, rather than trying to find a ROM with it removed.
Root via zergRush, freeze bloat with one of the apps on the market.
However, if you do go down the CM7 route, just follow the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
Other things to look out for. If any instructions are telling you to make a nandroid backup, do it, and back up your efs folder. You can use Hellcat's kTool for that.
Ok thanks for your post. So i guess my next question is What is Rooting and what does it actually do to your phone?
Do I need to root my phone in order to install new Roms??
Also the link to the M7 *Nightly* release you gave me. Is that stable? I read on their forums that I should only look at installing their *Stable* release and be wary of their *Nightly* release as its still buggy.
Since your first post said you were wanting to root, I kinda thought you'd know why. Bad assumption on my part, I know.
Anyway, before you flood the place with more questions, have a read for a while.
FAQS/Guide/Additional Info For Rooting S2 - High level summary
[FAQ] GT-i9100 Galaxy S II FAQ thread
Also, there is no so called "stable" CM7 build for the Samsung Galaxy S II.
Hi again.
Ok so I've had a read through the links provided to me and Im positive i want to root my device so that i can install new roms and unlock the phone and such. So next then can someone suggest what method i should do next. could someone also tell me what cf-root and clockworkmod is? Im confused as to what these are.
Regards
CF will give you root and clockwork, you can then reboot into clockwork and flash roms. Just make sure you read everything thoroughly and be sure to avoid the repartition option in odin.

Thanks but could you explain to me what they both do? Im assuming that its better to use cf-root as it allows you to install roms also...
Love spoon feeding eh?

Hi guys,this is my first time posting and I'm excited to be part of the "family".
I wanted to know if I can use Roms straight from Rom manager without it causing me any problems, are certain Roms only for certain phones or does it not matter.
Also, when I want to switch between Roms, how do I go about that.
Sorry in advance if there is already a forum that discusses this, please put up a link if there is.
THANKS.

The best thing is to go to the "Android Development" forum of the Atrix 4G and there you will find hundreds of different roms. The best thing is to unlock your bootloader and then flash a recovery, cmw(rom manager) is just one option.
Once you find the rom you want, download and put it in your sd card, enter the recovery menu and flash it from there.
There is a post with the instructions of those methods
Thanks a lot I will go check it out.
