When I went from 315 to 318 all I did was download the update.pkg ( in androids stock browser)from dell and android installed it and all my data stayed intact. Now my question is will that method work if I want to go to 345?
http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?t=9441
what is the benefit of going to 345 from 318?
Sorry to be such a noob! but what is the benefit of of going to 345 from 318?
If you use the stage ui it has updates in 345 which most people say make it better. I don't use stage.
The android version is 2.2.2 so you will benefit from any bugfixes to android.
It actually runs very smooth and stable. The quadrant scores aren't as good as a custom rom or 318 with the performance fix, but in real world use it works very well IMO.
The biggest drawback, to me, is that nandroid backups using streak droid or clockwork mod do not work.
If you are on a ROM that nandroid backups work It is easy to revert if you don't like 345 using your backup.
fully agree with marvino2's comments....only i went from 319 to 345....not had a single problem...its really slick....and like marvin....i dont use the new Stage UI but only because of the landscape overlap...otherwise i would. easy to root but had to install busybox from the market..
and as stated (just like in my 319) no fix for nandroid backup yet...but not a big issue as titanium did all the hard work for me!
Did you guys receive the market update after installing 345?

Yeah - I went back and forth between 345 and Streakdroid 1.9.1 a couple of times, so I have installed 345 a total of three times.
The first and last time I got the market update right away - used the market once and when I went back the second time it was updated.
The second install it took a while for the market to update itself.

I can confirm that I am able to do nandroid backup for 345. Before I can't, nandroid kept sticking on backing up firstboot, what I did was reformatted my sdcard, made a nandroid backup of 1.9.0 first, reinstalled 345 2.2.2, set up google acct, installed all my apps, after I finished setting up my streak, tried to do a nandroid backup of 345, and it worked, I have done 3 backups and all worked. Hope the same thing will for otherd.

I'd like to hear the answers from the question the op asked, can the update be run from android itself as I just did with the 318 update?
Are there any known bugs with 345 and does it run faster than 318 without the performance tweaks?
Also, any apparent changes in the battery life for 345? And can it be rooted with superoneclick as I did with 315 and will be doing with 318?
Thanks!

I don't know, I didn't do it that way. I installed 345 using the 345 recovery from recovery mode.

I haven't found any bugs yet. Speed as determined by Quadrant scores is almost the same as stock 318, but it just seems to work smoother and have less glitches.

I am getting about the same battery life as stock 318. I easily get a full day on a charge.

i looking to install StreakDroid 1.6.0 for the increase in performance but have a question i can't seem to find an answer to.
my question is that in the post here at XDA it's recommended to update the BASEBAND, do i really have to and if so how do i do that. i haven't been able to found how to. i didn't post in said thread cause all the post are praise, racommendations, and far more complicated questions then mine and didn't want to take focus away from those posts.
any help would be appreciated.
i'm running a U.S. AT&T locked streak it's been rooted
running O2 2.2
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.9-perf
Build Num. 12792
basband ver. GAUSB1A131921
Not sure if you have to with the version you have but I wouldn't at least suggest use qdl and the official update url to get the latest US release. Then update to 1.6.0. I know for a fact that from official 2.2 build 318 you don't have to update the baseband any further.

Google streakdroid and go to the main site. From there go to guides and you will find video guides on how to download and use QDLtool. As for changing the baseband I strongly suggest doing it so that your phone will be unlocked.

Changing baseband doesnt mean your phone is unlocked. To unlock the phone you need to input a code.
captaingohan, baseband in mentioned in the official streakdroid 1.6.0 thread. Read the thread, it will help with any problems.

Well I meant he should change it and install the unlocked firmware. But he was going to install DJ_Steve so whatever sorry for the confusion.
don't care about phone being lock or not just wanted to know if i really have to update baseband
read the thread. it has the info you need.
just installed streakdriod 1.6 from O2 2.2 without updating the baseband eveything seems to be working fine. and got my quadrant score from 833 to 1550 now phone runs much smother
I had some trouble doing it but I started by switching to 1.5.3 and then 1.6.1 clockworks mod has to work. Phone is much faster now was 844 on quadrant now 2178 just from the swith from 2.2 to 1.6.1
wow i only got 1550 how did you get 2178
lol didn't see theres a 1.6.1. updateing noe
sweet, just did it. Now on 1.6.1 and running at 1955

Sweet it is nice. No issues so far
started getting "Android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly ( and then force closing )" some posts suggested doing a factory reset. i did that and now my phone gets stuck on the streakdroid splash screen. tried re-installing 1.6.1 and it stays stuck on the splash screen. i've tried to go back to o2 2.2 and when i try to update either it says to get the update.pkg (witch i have on my card) or it'll just stay blank
and ofcourse as soon as i post this it starts workin. i guess the 8th factory re-set is the charm
I only get those when I run quadrant and sometimes I have to clear data to get it to run. Also if I start pushing buttons when it first wakes it goes slow and I have to wait a few secs to let it catch up. But other than that its all good.
streakdroid 1.6.0 update problem
im having trouble with probably one of the simplest processes for the 1.6.0 update. im very new to modding and used qdl to update to froyo. When trying to update to streakdroid 1.6.0, im kinda lost on what steps to take to flash streakmod. There's a video from unlockr that instructs on loading custom roms. When it talks about flashing recovery it tells you to click on "install recovery.windows.bat". For streakmod there's only a recovery image file (not sure, but i think this means i need to cmd) if so, ive never done this process and would love for someone to post a "cmd for dummies" walkthough.
Im running the qdl official update (31800) version of froyo. Also, for someone who's new to the Modding scene, will i even notice a difference btw 2.2 and streakdroid 1.6? Is it worth the update?
Also. Do i need to update my baseband?
Look for the streakmod recovery forum in the streak development forum. It will have the download and install instructions for the streakmod recovery. Once that is installed then go to the streakdroid forum. Download and follow the install instructions. You do not have to flash your baseband. If you follow those two threads you should be able to get it all installed. Also check out the tutorials at streakdroid.com and streaksmart.com

I dont like the default app for dell streak for backup and restore. because everytime I restore the app I actually have to install one by one. that is just time consuming and I have tons of app.
what do you suggest guys?
Titanium is great. Batch operations can reinstall all apps at once. Requires root so if you're on the new att 2.2 it won't work yet

So Titanium works great on the Dell Streak-5 (1.6 version)? Cool. I will look it up!
Have looked everywhere and cant find it ...also is it for US phones ?
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_322_12947_11.pkg
322 is intended for Hong Kong streaks, but they're sold unlocked and unbranded so it should work fine. You'll need the approporate recovery.img for this (which I dont have)
(If you do decide to install 322, could you give me a copy of the pkg.dec file it creates during the install process? I'd be REALLY grateful)
Anything cool comes along with this rom?

Hello all. My phone is trying to auto-update itself to GB...2.33. However, I am currently rooted...which I do not want to lose.
If the phone updates itself, is there currently any way to re-root the phone?
Thanks

Well, I auto updated this morning while I was rooted. The OTA update went fine but I have lost root. If anyone can figure out how I can regain root in 2.3.3, I would forever be in your debt.
Thanks!

Yes, it's true. You can update to 2.3, then SBF back to Froyo 2.2. Then grab P3's Pre-Root 2.3 GB update, and flash it. Follow these instructions.
Don't hold me to it, but you can probably use P3's to go straight from 2.2 to 2.3, without updating first, then SBF'ing back to Froyo. I could be wrong though, and I'm not responsible.
There may be an apk responsible for this. I'm not sure, but could FOTA.apk be Forced OTA? I haven't tried freezing this, but is someone willing to try?
I don't think that's it.
I just froze "Updater 2.2.2" using Titanium Backup and restarted the phone...I don't see a popup anymore. Hopefully that stops the OTA until I can install it and root.
I have the phone setup just the way I want it right now...I doubt the 2.33 would make any much of a difference.
Here is what you do...
.sbf back to 2.2.2
boot up and re-setup the phone (*228)
use gingerbreak to root it
install the recovery app
download p3's update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard-ext
boot to recovery and hit the sdcard:update.zip option
There are more detailed instructions in this subforum if you look.
