PERFMOD IS NOT enabled by default in this version, had some reports of stabily problems but their is now an installer option to reenable it if you wish, if you choose not to enable the installer will automaticly trasfer your data back to save a reset
also lots of other little tweaks been added
1.0 > INSTALLATION CHANGES :
With 1.7, several choices must be made before flashing the Zip file via StreakMod or Clockwork Recovery. These choices are made with very simple edits to a Text file ( explained in section 1.2 below )
Important Options Available ( other options are listed below in Section 1.1 ) -
A.Rebel SIM Compatibility : Users who previously downloaded the NOBB version of the file may now simply select the option by typing it into the text file before flashing the Zip. Please note that Rebel SIM users are still required to manually Fastboot flash the 2.1 8105 Baseband for compatibility.
B.Launcher Option : Users may now select their default Launcher of choice before installation. The options available are LauncherPro, ADW, Stage UI and GingerBread Launcher. GingerBread launcher is installed by default if nothing is chosen.
C.Pixel/LCD Density : Default LCD Density can be set during Installation. Values available for selection are : 120,140,180,200 and 240 DPI.
D.Other Settings : Other settings available include -
•Volume Boost
( flashes the A Modified kernel with louder volume hack ),
•Tabmail
( installs the Galaxy Tab Email Client port beta 2 instead of stock email client ),
•Teetermod
( installs Teetermod edit to get HTC Teeter working, installs the app and a modified build prop with 240dpi lcd density )

•noapps

1.1 > INSTALLATION HOW TO
A. You will need to create a text file on your Streak's MicroSD Card. The file can be created in your Text Editor of choice ( such as Notepad ).
B.This file will be called 'install.txt' - Ensure that this is the exact syntax and that the file is saved with a '.txt' suffix.
C.This file must be saved in the root of the sd card.
E.Inside this text file, you may type each option that you select on a separate line. All the options available to you are listed below. Here is an example :
Code:
adwlauncher
volboost

If a different density is selected, will we still got FCs like we do now? Meaning, has the ui been modified and scaled for different densitys?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

---

no, ive been looking at changing the dialer but any change kills the phone modem for some reason, still investigating

---

There is a folder named android already on my sd card do I use that one to put streakdroid?
Sent from the Iphone Killer

---

yea you can put folder into that

---

Why do I keep getting no download directory found? Nevermind I had the streak connected to the USB of my PC. DUH!

---

if i leave out the lcd density will i get default settings?

---

I feel kindof stupid asking this but how do you turn on auto rotate with the gingerbread launcher? It seems to be stuck in landscape for me (everything else auto rotates).

---

Ok I installed 1.6.0 but I did not get the options to change anything. I created the folder android>streakdroid>install.cfg with text options. Nothing happened when does the option suppose to pop up? This is what I put in the text file below. Do I need to put code box?
adwlauncher
volboost
tabmail
bios

Those are your options...

---

I am so excited to try out all of the OPTIONS! Thank you DJ Steve! US local customization has never been easier. We are all so grateful of your releases. Kang-o-rama was always a fun mod on the Nexus One. Would like to see ADW EX installer as an option maybe in the future
Haz anyone ran through this install for 1.6 with the White BestBuy Dell Streak that originally started with the 6601 build? Or does that not matter anymore? I am currently on StreakDroid 1.4.6 with StreakMod 3.2.6-beta.

---

thanks i just used stageui in the txt & everything seems to work fine

---

Wow quadrant scores have increased without overclocking. I am getting 1700 was getting 1400 with 1.5.3

---

Nevermind for some reason the text file did not save in the folder.

---

I’m thoroughly confused. I set 240 density but everything is absolutely massive in size using the Gingerbread launcher. >.>
Shouldn’t higher density = more stuff on screen?

---

no you have it backwards, lower=higher resolution

---

Stupid question but is it possible to backport the Gingerbread sip stack to use the built in sip function in Gingerbread?
I get my streak tomorrow but I don't think that is likely with this snow storm on the east coast.

---

Well then, time for another reinstall.
