I just bought a Dell Streak and have loaded Dell 2.2. I really like it but coming from an iPhone 4 I desperately would like Fring or some video chat. This does not work in the current Dell 2.2 build. I am interested in Streakdroid because someone told me you can use video chat in it. My questions are A.) Does video chat work in Streakdroid 1.6, B.) What other cool stuff does streakdroid have to offer?, C.) Are there any major drawbacks to switching to streakdroid?

streakdroid offers greater speeds due to overclocking and other enhancements by the dev. i can't say for certain if the ffc and if fring works since i never use it. have you also tried tango video chat with your streak? i prefer that over fring in terms of stability and usability. i use that on a daily basis on my nexus s. haven't tried it on my streak yet since i use it primarily as my tablet.
StreakDroid 1.6 has the option to use the front cam for Fring. It works fine.
Streakdroid 1.6.1 will work with oovoo too!

Moving to Q&A
Noobie!! My first post here...
I did my first root and flash to ROM this weekend. I am working on the "one click root" and Kaos Froyo 2.2 v39 on the Droid Eris.
I was soooo nervous about doing it and put it off for a while. I wanted more from my phone and was ready to give up on the Eris. I did my research and a ton of reading and finally bit the bullet
I am super happy with it, except for two issues that I cannot find any info on. I'm hoping I am posting in the correct place
#1) The Mail App. I assigned my Hotmail to it with ease, but notification only works comes at every set interval, not when a mail comes through.
#2) I cannot figure out how to assign ringtones to specific contacts. Used to be able to do it in the contact directly, but not anymore.
Any helps or tips is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: After rewording my search several times, I found the info on how to do the ringtones here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685594&page=1694 (post 16937)
Found a work around and THANK YOU KAOS!
I was having no luck with the "stock" email app that is in Kaos Froyo v39. I downloaded MailDroid (free in the Market) and it works just like a mail app should.
Looking forward to flashing the next ROM, since I learned so much from doing this one, or maybe trying another.
Kaos Froyo v39 does still have some buggy camera issues as talked about in the threads. Serious lag and FC problems.
All in all after reading as many posts as I could, I am very happy with all the work that Kaos and team has put into the ROMs, instruction and other help that has been given out. I am extremely thankful for being able to have a "new" phone with out a huge expense or up-ing my contract date further.
As a NOOBIE with less than 10 posts I am not able to post on the [ROM]KaosFroyo V39 [12/19] [FROYO]
to say thank you directly.
Glad you got your problems solved. And thank YOU for letting us know what email program was the solution. Welcome to rooting!
Hey guys sorry to post a new thread but I can not reply in the thread steve started as I am a new user. I am running streakdroid 1.9 and have the tabmail installed through the rom. It is working well but I am just having a couple issues and I wanted to know if they are normal and I am stuck with them or there is something I can do.
1st, I only receive txt, no pictures or other content?
2nd, In some email it seems to cut the txt in weird places in the middle of words sometimes
Anyone else run into this, and are there any fixes
I'm running Wolfbreak's TW 007 with custom kernel 3.52 and BB52. I installed from scratch (stock 2.1, then up to TW 007). It's brilliant in every aspect except I can't get Vignette to work. It takes the picture and gives me the preview screen but from there if I try to save, it gives me a VIE error saying it can't create the file. I've tried all options for save location and I've tried all resolutions also, still no love. Has anyone else come across this? Have tried the 2 latest versions of Vignette, and the demo.
same thing for me :/ any1 know anything on this issue?
Also battling with this. Mailed vignette support and they sent a new test version but it also has problems. From what I can see it falls over after it has saved the file. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the gallery as that doesn't get refreshed. If you force a media scan it then picks up the picture in the gallery.
I was also having problems with the LED flash. I played around with various versions of the 3D gallery and suddenly the flash has started working. This is also with the custom kernel. There have been quite a few posts about this in the dev thread, but I need to get to 10 posts before I can add my findings there.
I have a few different versions of the 3D gallery at home which I will try tonight to see if any of them help further.
It seems older versions work better, especially in illimanting flash issues.
Try and find an old backup of the demo version...
i tried the past 3 versions of the full version, and all had same error in processing photo.. i found out it does save them in the folder, just throws an error when processing.
I'll check in the gallery after trying some more photos. Just a prick that we get this error. I'd like to post in Wolf's thread but also don't have my 10 posts up.
thanks for your work on this andypen, I haven't tried any different versions of the gallery, and TBH I haven't bothered trying the LED as yet.
[edit] a couple of questions, how do you force gallery to refresh? just kill the app then start it again?, also, I must be stupid but I can't find the LED control in Vignette [/edit]
The problem has gone in 2011.06.23 version from market.
Sent from my X10a powered by Wolf's TW-007.1 / bb:65 / zKernel / BRA
Also I have the same problem. What could be the solution? Some speak of the core of the 3D Warehouse, other processing before storing the photograph, and so on.
What if, I can not make Vignette function properly.
I tried 4 different versions of this application, but still has the same processing error when trying to save the picture, so I concluded that this ROM is not correct for the operation of Vignette.
Please someone who has a possible solution?
Greetings!

I still have the problem...
If you don't have the problem, what's your settings?
this is infuriating...
I have found a possible solution to the vignette saving error. Instructions here
Have any of you contacted the developers of the vignette app and asked if they can rerelease an older version that works.
I have version 2010 - 11 - 04.3 which has worked on all versions of wolfs rom with all custom kernels.
I have a backup up of this but can not share it as it is paid app.
But I am sure the devs of the app will help once they know about the issue
Maybe it's an issue of the 3.52 kernel? i'm on wolf's tw071 rom, with zkernel and the latest version of vignette, fully functional.
No its nothing to do with the kernel....
I have had vignette working on all the 3.4 and 3.5 kernels with wolfs rom.
And now with z's new kernel and BB67.
Just email the devs of the app and ask them for an old version!!!

PS...I have just sent the following email to the devs of vignette
Hello,
I was wondering if you could help a lot of people out.
I am writing this on behalf of a lot of users of the SE x10i who use custom roms from the XDA developers site.
As you may be aware the camera on these roms does not support flash light or zoom, the only way to implement that was through vignette and developers of these custom roms often pointed users to your app in order to get zoom and flash on the camera.
However, with the latest versions of vignette the flash and zoom also seem to be not working but those of us with older versions still have full functionality.
Would it be possible for you to re-release older versions in the market for those people who use custom roms on x10.
I have the november 2010 version and it works fine.
This would be a great help to everyone at XDA who uses the x10i.
I look forward to your reply.
PS, i have copied this email to the xda website.
Regards

Greg I‘ve been too busy of late to follow this. Thanks for taking the initiative here!

Here is the response from the developers of the app to my email.
Hi Greg
Some older releases of Vignette can be found on our website at
http://sites.google.com/site/neilandtheresa/Vignette/releases
If you can provide us with any information that would allow Vignette
to detect whether it was running on an X10 with such a ROM (e.g. the
contents of android.os.Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL and
android.os.Build.DISPLAY), we might be able to solve the problem for
you.
Thanks,
Neil.
Hope this helps you all out.
Greg
I'm on bb67 kernel 2.6.29 and it works fine. I did have to change the save location though.

I have a copy of the most recent apk's of skype and oovoo for android. Video calling worked for both apps while i was on Cherrypi but they dont work on CM7 Beta. Anyone have any ideas why?
Can you post links? as i thought you couldnt video chat on skype with the atrix, thanks again
Ps. First post

there you go for anyone who wants a copy
Skype video calling still isn't compatible with Tegra devices, we'll have to keep waiting for that.

uhh.. how sure are you that you had Skype video working? because it's pretty impossible in any sense due to our lack of NEON support in the tegra.

thats what i was thinking. i think its complete crap we dont have support yet, and the funny thing is theres a huge thread started on there forums that atrix users are asking and they are ignoring the whole thread.
My friend said he had skype working. I PERSONALLY had OovoO working just fine though. So forget about the skype any ideas as to why oovoo video calling doesnt work for cm7?
