i know that steves new 1.5.3 has streak radio pre-installed.question is do guys think it works on 318/319 build?anyone has kind heart to upload the apks.
it does not work on standard firmware from Dell 2.2
actually the current Dell 2.2 image is missing fm_hcitool. One can copy this into the root directory to get the app streak radio working on stock 2.2
fm_hcitool can be found on android modaco forums: post 59. (sorry, I am fairly new to these forums and the system is preventing me from posting direct links in my posts.)
this in root directory should make your app streak radio run on stock dell 2.2 image.
the only problem is that this is a modified version of the original fm_hcitool, this one only directs audio output form the speakers.
I am assuming, if someone can fetch the original fm_hcitool from the stock 1.6 or 2.1 image then the app streak radio should work as normal, i.e. audio output from the headset.
i tried it doesnt work...

Have you rooted you Streak has it does not work on a unrooted phone
even on 2.2
yeah its rooted,i used root explorer and i put it on system/bin directory.how did you do yours and whats the permission?thanks
How did you did it?still doesnt work on mine
It does not work for me either on rooted 2.2 318. Anyone has the fm_hcitool file and willing to upload it here? I have searched the modaco forum several times...
When I open the app nothing happens. It just states that the streak radio app has superuser permissions.
Sorry, just found out that it is the file 'fm_hcitool_speaker' that has to be renamed to 'fm_hcitool' and has to be in the library /system/bin/ and now it works.
Anyone managed to find out how to change the volume? And get sound in the headphones?
The file can be found in this thread from modaco: http://android.modaco.com/content-page/318792/how-to-tune-a-fm-radio-station/page/120/
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I am running Stock 2.2 315.
I got the radio working!!!!
REQUIREMENT:
A. Need to have Root access on device
B. Application Streak Radio should be granted root access.
C. Wired headset*.
*Streak uses the wired headset as external antenna loop.
STEPS:
1. download the file fm_hcitool_speaker from modaco forums.
2. rename file to fm_hcitool
3. assuming the file is on your mnt/sdcard/ location.
4. open term emulator
5. su <hit enter>
6. cp /mnt/sdcard/fm_hcitool /system/bin/ <hit enter>
if you encounter cp: not found, run this command instead
7. busybox cp /mnt/sdcard/fm_hcitool /system/bin/ <hit enter>
8. close term emulator.
9. connect wired head set
10. launch Application Streak Radio.
11. hit Radio on.
this should activate radio via built-in speaker.
12. Tune into your fav radio station and enjoy.
REQUEST:
please someone upload the original stock 1.6 fm_hcitool. The one I am using (available @ modaco) is the updated version to route audio via built-in speaker.
hope this helps.
thanks.
thanks got it working now
Hi motobiz,
thank's for your great work. I tried to get the fm.apk get work on my Streak too. I use Stockrom from Dell 2.2/318 - rooted.

All,
With the help of @cemian, I was able to successfully port the US Dell Streak (Baseband ending in 31 originally) boot animation to the O2 Android 2.1 Image.
To install, you will need to mount the system folder R/W and replace the bootanimation.zip file in the /system/media folder.
This will get rid of the O2 boot image and replace it with the US Stock Dell Streak animated logo. Enjoy!
**** MODIFIED BOOT ANIMATION *** No more blank screen after the animation completes!!!
how do you mount the system folder R/W ?
Thanks.
Thanks, I didn't even know the 31 Streak had this. The animation is a bit short so it cuts off early and you're left with a black screen for a few seconds, i'm sure it could be extended or looped??
@mrmrmrmr, you have to have root enable on you ROM, but the command is:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
@gingernator007, yes you are correct, the animation can be possibly extended and/or looped, the latter is trivial change.
My goal was to keep it as stock as possible, but because the animation system is different, something my have gotten lost int he translation.
ok; so I have root enabled on the ROM. then I have to login with "adb shell" , correct ?
is there any other way ? can I get to the shell directly on the device ? not using the PC.

Yes there is another way, but unfortunately, I am not proficient with any other way except using adb. I believe if you install a terminal app from the market--ConnectBot comes to mind--you should be able to copy the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card to the /system/media/ folder.
Hope this helps some... May someone else can chime in.
thank you
Works well, cheers pal!

Yes you can use Root Explorer, its £2 but it does the job.
the only other way is really long teminal commands

@smokku, I am pretty sure the 2.1 boot animation attached to this thread will not work in 1.6. Also, I do not have the original files; someone gave me bits and pieces from the 6601 build (Android OS 1.6) that allowed me to hack together a boot animation for the 2.1 ROM.
If you are savvy enough, and if you are on a 1.6 ROM, you should be able to hack together what you need using the file in this thread along with the original boot animation on your 1.6 ROM.
Good luck and I hope this helps!!
I held off rooting since in got my streak at launch since I had no need for it, but I got quite fed up of the O2 boot screen it looks totally out of place and ugly, so when I saw this post I took the plunge and it was worth it. I am running 2.1 (6941) on contract O2 streak and I used Androot 1.6.1 to root, one click like it said on the tin, then replaced the animation with Root Explorer (as recommended for noobs) and job done 5 mins.
Anyway thanks a lot for the animation looks awesome only shame its quite short though, any more custom versions to come?
Thank you SO much... It was a small thing, but bugging the hell out of me.

Where did you get the 6601 build?
Credits to geek78.
I take no responsibility if your brick you device!!!
This worked for me and i am now on Stock 1.6 6601 with the original baseband.
Please do not ask me to support any issues.
1. You need to downgrade back to O2 stock 4399.
Download the official update 4399 from here : http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.p...104_4399_21.pkg
Copy this update to the root of your sdcard and rename it update.pkg
Download this zip http://hotfile.com/dl/62324940/5dea6fd/recovery.rar.html
Unzip it on your desktop
Put your streak in fastboot mode
Go to the directory where are the files from recovery rar and execute the right cmd for your situation :
fastboot-yourOS -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.stock.new.img
push the the 2 volume buttons and at the same time execute the right cmd for your situtation :
fastboot-yourOS -i 0x413c reboot
Choose update from sd card …. And after the process you have now a 4399 21 build
Root your streak and install a browser like root explorer and a terminal from de market
2. Change the system so it will accept the 6601 pkg file when trying to restore.
Download the official 6601 build from HERE and place the file at the root of your SDCARD.
Download THIS FILE, unzip it and place it at the root of your SDCARD (the name of the file should show up as boot.img)
Download THIS FILE and unzip it where your want on your sdcard.
Then mount your / as rw and copy all the files unziped at the same place on the streak (etc to /etc, system to /system ...) do NOT overwrite entire folders, just copy the 3 files inside those folders to their respective folders under /system, /bin and /etc)
From terminal on your streak with su rights execute this
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
Reboot your streak in normal mode
Reboot your streak in recovery mode and apply the update from sdcard
Once booted you should be on 6601 1.6 at&t firmware and baseband.
Thanks for the post.
I am planning to return to 1.6
This would help me.
wow, very cool, will downgrade later. thanks!
When we mount / as rw, I'm assuming you want us to but the contents of etc to /system/etc, bin to /system/bin and then the recovery-from-boot.p to /system, correct?
Also, do you happen to have the fastboot-windows? It's not a big deal if you don't.
downgrade and baseband restore worked great. thanks a bunch. this is especially helpful now with the kernel released and I want to play with some custom roms, can always revert back to stock.
the first link does not work, just goes to the Modaco home page
Are you downgrading from 8105 2.1 or the earlier version? Since I updated to 8105 i have been unable to get to 4399.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
ok i found the stock O2 4399 elsewhere, but the zip file does not have a fastboot-windows, just mac and linux. do i just move my fastboot.exe file to the recovery folder that has the recovery.stock.new?
Yes just use the fastboot.exe and rename the file if you want to follow the instructions exactly.

Friends I found simple way to get back to official froyo from steves 1.4.6
just u will need a official froyo packge.
if u have astro file manager place the package in th root of your sd card.
from astro rename the package as
first irase the file extention .pkg
then enter nee extention .zip.
after that you will find the update.pkg is just a zipped file.
then simply flash clockwork recovry.
then go to install zip from sd.
then select the update.zip(previously update.pkg) then this will install all kernel,boot image.....
after that reboot your phone.
then you will find that you are now all official froyo.
this will help you to get back on stock froyo.
sorry for sms language that I have used in my post.
i have sent it using dell streak browser.
If you want the recovery(boot.img) original.
Then u can simply extract from the package by doing the same told above.
If u find this helpful please rate thos post.
Thanking you.
If you want the performance of dj steves rom u will need not to flash custom kernel
Simply copy paste the files from smokkus froyo fixx and replace to files of streaks internal storage.
I done this and got 1500-1575 on quadrant.

I don't know how you did this but the original .pkg files from DELL are ENCRYPTED!!! You can't just rename it to ZIP and flash it!
no friend i just diid it.
what means."from astro rename the package as
first irase the file extention .pkg
then enter nee extention .zip."
I thought astro only gave read only permissions? Also i cant grasp how its possible to install an offical dell package via clockwork? I thought it needed the stock image to load? I also thought clockwork was only useable with custom roms? Confused? ?? If it it does work simply changing the extension then that could be really useful to know

You can use android kitchen to cook custom roms
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Can someone provide the modified vendor files for kitchen to cook X8 roms ?
If you have a friend who cooked roms before for hero/legend/g1/nexus devices, ask him to cook one for us, this is the fastest way
For those who never cooked a rom, this link might be a start :
http://source.android.com/porting/build_system.html
Cooked rom should use our original 2.6.29 kernel of eclair and our rild libs, rest of system should be prelinked to those files.
Gingerbread (2.3) is available in AOSP repository, there's a very good chance we could have it running before SE release froyo if ever.
I have tried this rom Prime from LG Optimus P500 (same cpu and screen).
Flashed with xRecovery, than before rebooting copied over xRecovery files back to flash (to be able to return to my backup).
To enable "adb logcat" debug, put adb-enable file in /data/property/ directory.
The rom booted, i saw android 2.2 bootscreen, but than it crashed..

Does anyone have the APK for the AT&T Hotspot App (WISPr46_Android22_signed.apk)? This is the one thing I miss most about the FR008 ROM - having the Aria automatically connect to AT&T hotspots. I know I can use the web form, but it's a pain in the rear.
Thanks in advance.

Go to this thread and download one of the rooted AT&T ROMs, unzip it and pull the apk out.
Found the APK in the most recent 2.2.2 ROM from Gene Poole. Pulled it out and copied it to the Aria. "Application not installed". Oh well. Thanks though!

How did you copy it to the phone? If you boot into recovery and mount /system as Read/Write, then you should be able to type "adb push [name of hotspot].apk /system/app.
I just ran Astro to browse to the APK, then let its app manager do its thing. Being a novice, I appreciate the more detailed instructions. I'll give that a try if I can follow that.

Assuming you have the adb tools installed on your PC (you probably do if you have rooted your phone):
1. Reboot the phone into ClockworkMod recovery. Make sure you do not have the USB cable connected at this point.
2. Select the "mounts and storage" option.
3. Select the "mount /system" option.
4. On your PC open a command window and set your working directory to your "adb\tools" directory.
5. Plug your phone into the USB cable.
6. In the command window type "adb devices". It should respond to with your device name.
7. Copy the WISPr46_Android22_signed.apk to the adb\tools directory.
8. In the command window type: adb push WISPr46_Android22_signed.apk /system/app
9. On the phone select "unmount /system"
10. Unplug the phone.
11. Reboot the phone.
I needed to install the tools, but after that everything went smoothly. However, I don't see the process running, and the icon does not exist. There is an .ODEX file for this package as well; do I need to do anything with that? Or do anything special after the phone rebooted?

Yes you need to push the ODEX file too. That is probably why you got "Application not installed" the first time when you tried it through Astro.
Still no love. I pushed both files over, followed the instructions, and it does not appear to be there. Also tried using Astro again just for good measure (with the ODEX file in the same location as the APK), same message. I guess this package just will not install on this ROM.
I appreciate the help - if nothing else I've learned a lot about how the system works!
I'm looking at potentially flashing Gene Poole's 2.2.2 ROM over FR008 anyway, which should put this app back in place in the process, so we'll see.
Thanks again!
Update to this thread:
After upgrading my phone to the latest 2.2.2 ROM from Gene Poole (hoxnet 005b) I was able to successfully install this app using the method described above. The 005b ROM does not include the APK anymore though, so if you want this you'll need to snag it from an older ROM.
