- removed Swype
- new build Simple Streak kernel (many changes)
1.2 (size 91 MB) - 19. 6. 2011

- change default orientation to portrait (according to instructions from user jhotmann)
KNOWN ISSUES:
- after the start to be switched on / off the display rotation settings
NOT WORKING?
Are you sure you've done a factory reset? You have to do a factory reset on the first screen (from Dell) of the recovery mode.
Still not working or causing problems (button still lights)? Maybe you're old baseband, try to download new here and upload using fastboot command.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
Last chance. If you still have problems, try loading the original ROM ver. 354 and then reload the Simple Streak ROM. This may work
OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS (update via StreakMod Recovery)
Landscape mode - return back to the default display orientation
Stage UI - return back to the default launcher from Dell
STK Tools - return back to the Sim Toolkit
Original kernel - if you have any problems, you can try the original kernel from Dell.
DJ-Steve KERNEL
Install the kernel from DJ_Steve ROM (thanks for his great work) and adjust some settings. After the update default frequency is set at 1.19 GHz and smartass CPU governors (can be changed via the tools available (SetCPU)). The update will not lose any user data.
DJ-Steve KERNEL INSTALLATION:
you have already installed the Simple Streak ROM (ver. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2)
copy perfupdate.zip to SD card
update via StreakMod Recovery
If update does not work, try the version without the default overclocking.
Good to See....
other custom ROM choices emerging for our beloved Streak!
Anyone try this yet?
Based upon what I've done with 351 (completely ripped out the Stage UI, Dell Sync, Amazon MP3, CoPilot Live, Evernote, Napster, Oovoo, PageOnce, Roxio Now, and Zinio Reader), leaving Swype and adding LauncherPro, the Streak should be very fast and very responsive, especially when shutting it off.
can you test netflix?

yeah ive had it on my phone for a few hours....
ive been using 354 since it come out & streakdroid before that & i think 354 is great so i jumped on this when it come out
ive got to admit i havnt done a factory reset yet as i dont want to lose my setting (i might tonight when i dont need my phone)
EDIT
portrait pics
A very clean rom. Simple and fast.
I really like it and didn't find any problem as of this moment, phone works, GPS works.
Is that possible for add adhoc network support in the next version?
Thanks Spidla, keep up the good work
Seems pretty solid, the only issue I have, is after a reboot, it is seems to be stuck in Landscape and wont auto rotate on the home screen. When I eventually get it to go Portrait everything is fine. I cleared the program cache, fixed permissions and cleared the dalvic cache, but that didn't fix the issue. Apart from that all my apps restored fine with Titanium backup root (after installing busy box) and they all work OK, there has been no force close issues either. Great work, thanks

Been using this for an hour or so and must admit I am very happy with it. Feels very fast and I love the built in portrait lock and the battery percentage mod. I think this rom is a keeper !
To the person stuck in landscape, on boot up I go to settings and toggle auto rotate on, rotate to portrait and then toggle it back off. Seems to be working for me so far...
Only question I have is that I'm using this with an older baseband (351) is that going to cause me problems ? Seems ok so far.
Cheers,
malty
Wow...will try...thanks something to play with now

I love this rom and portrait lock ,Thanks friend.

351 isn't old. You'll be fine.
Posted with StreakZilla, using XDA App.
Works fabulous! As soon as I started the system, it felt so light and fast! I really like it! Good job! *thumbs up!*
EDIT: The only thing I don't like is that I can't uninstall Launcher Pro and buy the full version. I just can't uninstall. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: Nevermind, I install an Unlocker and now I've got the full version installed.
Thanks again for the ROM!

I'm having an issue with this ROM.. I factory reset everything, davlik empty, and clear the partition as well before installing, install the ROM, and factory reset again, reboot system.
Goes to Android load screen and then goes into regular android lock screen (portrait) and then back to the Android load screen, does it a couple times and then either freezes and I have to take out battery or just freezes at Android lock screen.
I am restored back to GingerStreak now. Any suggestions?
For a multi language rom use .351. I use it with Dutch language and it is great stuff
@OP Did you also optimize the build.prop?

Sounds like you have a boot loop.
Try to go by these steps (I did it that way)
1. Put .zip file into the root of SD card
2. Boot into Recovery (I'm using Clockwork)
3. Do a dalvik cache wipe
4. I didn't clear the partition.
5. Do a factory reset in the Clockwork recovery.
6. Choose the .zip and flash the ROM
7. When it says installation completed, choose the option ''Reboot Recovery'' and press VOL UP + VOL DOWN at the same time and keep holding the power button
8. You'll get to the Dell Factory Reset screen
9. Do a factory reset (NOT FROM THE RECOVERY)
10. Reboot automatically
11. Enjoy
Also, download the ROM file again, it might be corrupted.
- Hope it works out for you, it really is a great ROM.
I'm going to give a quick run down of my situation and what I have done and I would just like to get some understanding or guide to what the heck I'm doing different then everyone else.. and I have lots of knowledge in technology and I'v been playing around with phones for 14 years now.. So here's the deal.
I have 2 Sony Xperia X10a. - one from Rogers the other from Fido.. Who give's a crap.. OK next.
I flashed both phones with FlashTool 3.0.0 -
Rom - X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf
Root IT / Reboot
Xrecovery Install. - I select the first one , so the one w/out GB in the name.
Copy Files to SD Card for GB Flash..Files I copy are..
" X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "
" ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "
I also have a folder "Addons" that I have a couple things like.. " SEMC.Calculator.zip & "SEMC.Gmail.Gtalk.Email.zip" ..so on..
I then Reboot the phone into Xrecovery...
1 - Wipe user data
2 - clear cache
3 - advanced options - clear cache again..
4 - Install Custom Zip....Select " X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "... Done
5 - Reboot Via XRecovery and Remove battery Instantly
6 - Flash via FlashTool - X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only kernel_baseband.ftf
7 - Unplug / Remove battery . Wait 10 Seconds.. Boot phone.
8 - Phones Booted.. My SD Card already was in 2 FAT32 Partitions. One 14GB one 1GB..
9 - Proceed to Link2SD App..Start it.. Reboot Phone..
10- Selected and Linked Apps in Link2SD .. Rebooted Phone..
11 - Started Link2SD ...go to " More " .. Selected link dalvik-cache files... Rebooted Phone
12 - Used File Explorer .. went to SDCard.. if there is a Scriptz folder Delete it.. there was no scriptz folder..
13 - Rebooted Phone.. Enter in Xrecovery mode.. Advanced options .. "Wipe dalvik cache"
14 - Install Custom Zip..Select " ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "... Done...
15 - Rebooted Via Xrecovery
16 - Started Link2SD... go to " More " .. Select "Link dalvik-cache files" again and then "Market Fix"
17 - Rebooted Phone again.
18 - Used phone.. Setup Google Accounts / Email / Facebook / A few apps / synced picasa photos... Rebooted
Done Install..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19 - Ran Quadrant Standard Benchmark .. Free From Market.. Only Scored 850
20 - Rebooted.. and then Installed SetCPU.. Few $ from Market....When I started SetCPU I selected " Show Other Frequency Sets " and Selected
Custom Frequency Reads from:
/sdcard/setcpu.txt
/system/sd/setcpu.txt
/data/local/setcpu
Sort Speeds in kHz, Separated by comma, from lowest to highest.
21 - Allowed Root Access.. and I did not Touch one setting in SetCPU. I went to advanced and selected "Apply"
22 - I then went to INFO in SetCPU .. If I run a Short Bench.. I score between 220 - 250.. avg sometimes it spikes.. Long Bench is 519..
23 - Rebooted .. Ran Quadrant again I am only scoring max 1080ish.. Lowest I have seen is 800.. It is all over the place.. and no where close to 1750 that erik is getting..
24 - I also Ran LINPACK and my max on a single thread was 38 .. and on multi-thread it was 32...
I don't understand What I am missing or doing wrong.. Maybe I have spent too much time on it in the past few days flashing and re flashing and yada yada that i'm just in need of a good break and then go back at it.. but my roomie who has the other X10 that I converted her to from the Iphone is also doing the same where it's not scoring to great..
I also am running into issues on her phone where it's having lots of force closes and freezing....I was just doing a quad benchmark on it now and it only scored 600??? I did the exact same.. back to flashing 2.1.. all the exact steps I have taken on my phone.. the only difference is she only has a 2gb sd card so I have not installed Link2SD on her phone.. But I have been told that should not make too much of a difference.. have i been mislead? Please assist. I am VERY lost and starting to get cheesed .. I just want what Erick has LOL But Really I converted her from Apple to Droid because she used my phone when I had one of Erick's first GB Roms and it was running fast.. she was very impressed and happy..
.. OK As I was typing this out I'm playing around with the phones and I just got a new msg on BOTH phones remember one is Link2SD one is Not.. " Could not read SetCPU Custom Config. Reverting to Defaults. Is your SDCard unmounted from the PC? .. Both phones are not plugged in .. I did a remount in storage settings.. Same error.. But If I do a device selection again.. it reads the SD Card SetCPU.txt files.. WOW . I am so confused. PLEASE ASSIST!!!!
I really hope there is enough information here.. ask me for anything or to do anything on it and i'll send it and give it a shot ! Thanks in advanced everyone! and thanks again Erick for the sick ROM!
Wow.. Another Patch! Updating to 3.3f.zip.. Will report back if any change in performance! no change.. now I just have the Sony Setup Menu start everytime my phone boots.. if i clear advanced cache in xrecovery all my sync accounts get deleted.. and I also had to downgrade my market because it was just crashing.. I also have problems with swype .. it keeps crashing in chomp.l never had problems like that until 3.3f update. ... thou I just talked to Janessa and she said her phone is groovy like the 70's.. LOL I don't understand.. She was having the problems...now I am! LOL Let's get some input going! Thanks again Everyone! AKA ERICKWILL!!
Thanks again erick!!
bump?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Hey man, don't bother with scores and numbers.
Flash the patch, let it settle for some hours and use it.
I just flashed the new 3.7 patch few minutes ago and waiting for it to settle.
I didn't read the EDIT.
My x10i got really slow booting and annoying when It gets too low space in sdcard.
Take a look at her sdcard.
For the FC's, I often have them when I flash a new patch. After I done everything in link2sd (relink, reboot, etc), I reboot again and fix permissions at xrecovery. Them I reinstall all apps that are FC using the link2sd interface.
As I said, I just patched to 3.7f and got two FC at launcher startup. This time was App Brain Market and Battery Widget Pro. Reinstalled them using the option "reinstall" inside link2sd and everything is OK now.
Yesterday I patched to 3.3 and got a different FC from today. Total Recall was FC at startup, them I went to link2sd and reinstalled it. It's working fine since them.
any error flashing the 3.7f patch? mine says error at line 12
I had no erros here.
My x10 was running the lastest rom with 3.3f.
Deleted scriptz folder, rebooted, cleaned dalvik cache and flashed.
Booted, went to link2sd, reboot again for mount the 2nd partition.
Booted again, link2sd, relinked dalvik, reboot.
Fixed permissions, reboot. Reinstalled 2 apps that were fc and its stable for now.
i cannot find the scriptz folder on my sdcard? ??!
Which file explorer are you using? I think if you can't see it's because it doesn't exist.
To be sure, connect your phone using USB cable and enable USB mounting to access sdcard from your PC. If you still can't see this way, it surely does not exist in your sdcard.
Go to xrecovery, wipe dalvik cache and flash the patch.
no error.. mm if u did I think u need to start all over from 2.1 again..
ok trying to flash 2.1 again.. still cant see it through my pc.. tnxx
still a fail T_T... there is still no scriptz folder.. and still with the same error flashing 3.7f patch woo

Get all the files you need for the 2.1 flash and the baseband fix if you need for 2.1 flash from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 .. the links are in the first post. and one again also remember to use the "Flash" button in flashtool to flash the TFT files. there is no other way to do this but I am just assuming maybe you are flashing custom zips via xrecovery...I hope this helps.. I'm going to have time this week to do a remake of the video on Ericks Firmware install.. It's ok but it's assuming to much little steps.
Is there a list of things that I should systematically be looking for? and so, how do would I test that out? I don't see a drastic difference when flashing kernels so I can't tell or maybe I am really bad at this

for reliability tests i do the following before i release a kernel
-super wipe
-flash rom
-flash kernel
-wipe cache / delvik
-reboot (this is the 1st reboot - i do not reboot between installing the rom and kernel)
-sit for 10 min
-reboot
-test mms send/receive
-test incomming and outgoing calls
-test gmail and gtalk over 3g, 4g, and wifi
-test bluetooth
-test audio via AUX port
-test charging
-test sd card mount via usb
-install from the market: quadrant, linpack, cfbench, rlbench, and antutu
-reboot phone
do not pause or rest the phone while doing the following... (this is a stress test, i dont care abou what the results are)
-run antutu
-run linpack x2 times
-run cfbench
-run rlbench
-run quadrant
-run linpack x2 again
if no lockups, freezes, reboots, and everything works -- i release - and all should be considered good
hello guys let me fill you in on what ive done here....
ive taken turl's cm9 for the atrix forund here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500535 {thank you turl for such great work}
and transplanted the photons info into it.....
not going to post an incredible amount of info on it since it is cm9 and by now you guys should know what common issues are across the board with cm9
i am in no way suggesting this build is in anyway better than joker's cm9 i am simply providing the mopho community with more options and activity... dont ask me which is better or how is this different..... i will not answer you.... you will have to try and see for yourself....thanks guys
not working:
mms in stock use gosms or similar...or
open voice dialer say apns... then make sure that it is set properly like so:
first delete the cdma0 then click on cdma1 and fill out like below click save, then click on uscc and fill out like below click save and then back out and reboot you should have working mms now

*A bug(?) this ROM and Jokersax's have this symptom. If your SIM has a lock, the phone loads, but doesn't ask you for the lock code. It behaves as if there is no SIM lock. As a result, you can't connect to the network. Work around. Go into settings and uncheck the SIM lock. It of course asks you for the lock to your SIM. You reboot and now the phone can access the network. If you don't do this, you can't access the network and APN doesn't work.[THANKS COOLQF!]

Do before flash....after flash, it's hit or miss as to whether it works...most people say no
this is actually older than last jokersax ROM, so it may have some small issues joker doesnt have. still, have better battery life time and almost everything works

First of, Th3Bill and spleef, thank you so much! Thank your also for uploading the file. I'm also very eager to learn. This is all a little new to me, but i'm a quick learner and actually googled instructions. I don't quite understand how to do it BEFORE flashing. Here's what I know from reading:
1) Install ROM (phone is rooted and unlocked of course)
2) Load ES File Explorer
3) Go into /System
4) Back up build.prop
5) Open build.prop
6) Make the following changes to reflect the following:
# Default network type.
# 0 -> WCDMA preferred
ro.telephony.default_network=0
7) Save build.prop
8) Reboot phone
What step do I add/change?

That works...(as long as ES has that level of capability. I use Root Explorer...like it's functionality better) but like I said before, the way that I know people have really had it working was to edit that file before flashing. It's the correct procedure to change that file on the phone.

Very true on that!
I love this rom, everything is working smooth! But i would like to go to miui for now...
Installed GSM version you just posted.
Here's what I did:
1)Installed Jokersax's recover V3
2) Did a recovery reboot
3) Wiped partition, cache, and dalvik
4) Did a recovery reboot
5) Installed your ROM
6) Did a recovery reboot
7) Installed ROM again
8) Rebooted system
9) Installed GAPPS
-Camera works, holding the camera horizontal and vertical. Jokersax's would crash on me if I attempted to load it right after the phone loaded. I don't have that problem with this ROM. Takes pictures fine.
-Keyboard works. If you type too quickly sometimes the haptic doesn't work. (I always turn this off, so no biggie) Same problem in Jokersax's.
-Swiping through the apps is pretty smooth. You have to create longer swipes than on CM7, or else it might tap, but no biggie.
-It feels like you need to put more pressure against the screen for swipes and key taps to be recognized when compared to CM7.2
-Connected to my wifi without a problem. Works as expected.
-Enabled built-in sdcard. Works fine, can access data.
-Automatically loaded my APN settings after rebooting the phone. No need to enter them manually. (had to remove my SIM's lock though).
-Connects to EDGE and 3G (GSM) fine
-Restoring apps through MyBackup root was faster
-The only restore that was slower, SMS. On CM7.2 this took less than a minute. On CM9, it took closer to 5minutes. It was a total of 1101 SMS.
-Google Play works. apps that needed updating were updated without a hitch. It quickly recognized my restored apps after a reboot (normally this took about 10 min on CM7.2)
-Auto dim works when phone not being used for a couple of seconds
-WhatApp, linkedin, Skype & twitter loads and syncs.
-Facebook app can't sync contacts <--Problem with all ICS(the app works) (I use friendcaster for syncing, it's better anyway)
-Google maps works.
-Gmail works fine. It's at version 4.0, which is better. Something odd, the app was preinstalled, but couldn't see it in Google Play. I had to do a restore of gmail, and then it showed up in Play.
-Google Maps, it wasn't in the phone or in Google Play. Restoring it from a backup allowed it to update and show up on my phone, and in Google Play.
-All the other small things worked fine, recent calls, contacts (merged contacts w/o a hitch)
-Pattern unlock doesn't work too well. I had to disable it. It behaves as if I lift my finger some times....
A bug(?) this ROM and Jokersax's have this symptom. If your SIM has a lock, the phone loads, but doesn't ask you for the lock code. It behaves as if there is no SIM lock. As a result, you can't connect to the network. Work around. Go into settings and uncheck the SIM lock. It of course asks you for the lock to your SIM. You reboot and now the phone can access the network. If you don't do this, you can't access the network and APN doesn't work.
I hope this helps. Overall, I love the ROM and will keep using it and test it out =D

-Auto dim works when phone not being used for a couple of seconds
-WhatApp loads and syncs.
-Facebook contacts can't sync (the app works) (Suggestions on workaround?)
-Google maps works. Although sometime the google maps screen would just be a cream color. Only way to the the map again is by backing out of the app and loading it again.
I installed the GAPPS from jokersax, version 11. I've logged into my account and it seems to work. (I didn't have the one from this thread in my SDCARD, oops).

thank you very good review and report....very much appreciated...i will add your workaround to op about sim lock
also the double flash isnt necessary but you can if you feel like you need it..
the gapps might be why some things arent working right.... idk for sure.... i think joker mods his gapps the gapps package i have is the one from goo unaltered..
the facebook im not sure i think cm9 did away with it at one point....again not entirely 100% on that ill look into it though and see if it was removed and if i can add it back
maps im not sure i will look into it.. but thanks again for running it and please do report the more you find
can also try to wipe dalvick and fix permissions might help with maps idk..can also try uninstalling maps and reinstalling it

Reinstalled fresh again. This time using the GAAPS in this thread. Let's see how things go =D Read up on facebook. Apparently Google is redoing the API and for this reason Facebook and ICS (by default) currently don't play nice for contacts.

now this is a proper, helpful review! Need more like this on every rom out there....including joker's. Just putting "x doesn't work" doesn't help. Telling dev exactly what you were doing and how you were doing when x didn't work and the way it didn't work is the right way. Great review!
I am so confused!!!! Now I have so many ROM options I don't know which one to pick. Lol (On CM7.2 now but was on Jokers CM9 prior)
You guys do great work and been a huge help for me with issues I have had so I wanted to thank you.

With this and other GSM capable roms, is it a "either/or" situation, where if you install the GSM rom you can't connect CDMA, or is it just like an additional feature, so you could use cdma by default and roam on gsm?
Hi,
So, a couple of days from now i notice an odd behavior with my playstore: it doesn't show anything on "installed apps", front page looks like the one attached. I dont remember been tweaking arround for some time, the last thing i remember was upgrading xBlastTools, messing with some settings on it (the 'stop sending google something' comes back to mind) and with greenify. When the issue was aknowledge i tried to revert the settings, disable all xposed modules, uninstall and stuff with "no sucess" (when i get the store to work, it stop working at first reboot). Then i've fully formated it (restored a vanilla bkp i had w/o restoring data). Got store working, rebooted, gone.
my device is
>a Razr M xt907 running stock [4.1] at first, then PACman v23 [4.2.2]
>rooted, unlocked bootloader
>TWRP v2.5
>was running greenify and the following Xposed modules: xPrivacy, AppSettings_0.4, com.modaco.toolkit, XblastTools_1.5, Master Key Dual Fix
-store version doesn't seem to make diference (odd behavior ocurred on both newest and the older available on stock)
-rom doesnt seem to make a diference (odd behavior ocurred on both [4.2]PAC and [4.1]stock after fresh bkps restores. those backups were done when system was just installed and fully working)
-'vanillaness' doesnt seem to make a diference: formated the device to be almost out of the box-like (still bl-unlocked and w/ TWRP) and still no luck
-enabling/disabling/uninstalling xposed modules doesnt seem to make a diference
-dpi doesn't seem to make a diference (got it both working and not working randomly messing w/ PAC size/layout settings.)
odd behavior1
1.Got store working again
2.Reboot
3.Open the store
4.The "by using google play, you agree to the 'blablabla' accept/decline" prompt
5. Stop working again (as seen on screenshot)
obs: rebooting doesnt make it work again ever
odd behavior2 (working>notworking>working)
-on PAC
1.playstore not working
2. switch dpi size/layout
3.get the "by using google play, you agree to the 'blablabla' accept/decline" prompt
4. it works
5. changes dpi again
6.get the "by using google play, you agree to the 'blablabla' accept/decline" prompt (again)
7.stops working
8. changes dpi again
9. no prompt (and thus still not working)
everything i do to get it working again, seems to be gone after the first reboot i do. Im amazed that not even a full wipe would work. Is it possible that some screw setting got sync'd with google?
obs: two 'devices' have been on my gp accounts for quite some time (couple of months maybe) and of course only 1 is working since ive ever only owned this one device (i dont have idea how google created 2 entries for the same device)
im literally going crazy with this, it doesnt seem to make any freaking sense!
my sanity would very much appreciate any help
thanks
