Anyone able to link or post a .apk for the latest Dell Stage UI launcher? I upgraded to 245, but it still has the old launcher. I'd really like to play with the newer one.
Thanks in advance for any help!

This should be intersting. I think the new Stage launcher is more than one apk. I know if you are using the latest Streakdroid mod you can load it. It will be cool if it is available for you
yea that would be awesome if someone could plz post up the new dell stage apk"s ............and or watever files we might need
New Stage UI .apk's can be found in StreakDroid 1.9.0 .zip file.
latest stage here
i pulled out from rom 345 ,lets see if it works
http://hotfile.com/dl/114223455/f830bb5/new_stage.rar.html
Thanks for the file..
thank you very much............. now lets see if they run.................................or better yet what would be the best way to replace the old stage? I'm on a rooted at&t 340 o.s with side loading enabled.....any suggestions or recommendations greatly appreciated..........(maybe root explorer or titanium backup)
your results may vary..
I installed these on my 347 streak, all seems to work ok simply installing over the existing stage versions (only had a problem with email, installed ok, but the widget will not show emails, if you tap on it it takes you to the configured account but only displays "tap here to setup an account" message while in home screen) also i could not get it to actually use the silent ringtone, again it accepts it but still makes the notification sound. anyway I like the newer versions of the stage ui. (also, the fb widget may not actually be updating the content shown on the home screen)
Cheers

thanks ,i'll try it
Application not installed .............i really dont want to uninstall original stage launcher for fear of complications
Not installed
Hi, I have the O2 UK latest version, not sure which build that is but I was unable to install any of the files. Error message says not installed.
I am rooted too so that should not be the problem.
Do I need a custom rom or a later one to be able to install these?
Thanks for the upload by the way. I *STILL* don't have the guts to jump and update to Steve's rom!
I got it working on my Streak.
I flashed 345, got my streak setup how I wanted it, and did a full backup.
then...
I flashed DJ_Steve's 1.9 ROM, with the option for the dell stage UI in the install.txt,
let it boot up and got it working.
I then reflashed the Dell 309 Recovery ROM, and re-flashed 345, and did a restore from my backup. Now I have the new stage UI. It's pretty slick.
I use it as my main, but I also have Zeam installed. If you default to the stage UI, you can set the fist slot in the menu, you can add the Zeam launcher. This way, I can switch UI's whenever I want.
It's really pretty slick the way I have it setup now.
Thanks to DJ_Steve (again)...

You need to use super manager app to move the apps to /system/app from data/app and it works great.

After much messing about and almost bricking my phone I've finally got it on a version of 2.2 which will run the standard upgrade but I have a problem. This version (compared to the older official UK o2 I had) has copilot pre installed on it which when I checked the permissions is down for full access to making calls, texts, viewing contacts, etc.. Basically all the stuff you wouldn't allow an app to do normally and as I have no need for it I went to the apps on settings to delete it but when I select it the option to uninstall isn't highlighted, does anyone know how to get rid of this??
you need to use root manager or system manager delete the apk from system/app
hope that helps.
Cheers, gonna try and get it rooted then. Already tried z4root but it didn't work so having a go with superoneclick!
Also do you know of a way to stop the update available message coming on??
root with superuser via streakmod or clockworkmod....not sure about the update message. I am on 351.
Done, was a bit unsure bout if I was doing it all right but it's all looking good so far thanks!!
Will look into the update to 2.2.2 and see what can be done with that once I've had a play with the root!!
I think iI may have broke my Android Market!
Can still access the Market, but when I try and download an app, its shows the downloading progress bar and then just does nothing. It worked before.
I have been zapping a load of apps recently using Titanium Backup, could that have broke my downloading abilities?
Got a feeling it may be some of the google apps I removed, like google talk, even though I never use them.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to the x10 mini 2.1 stock app .apks?
Much appreciated
Maybe it's what you done with Titanium backup.
Try this first :
Go to Settings -> Applications -> "Menu" button -> Select "All". Then search Android market, clic on, and now clic on "Force stop" first, then "Wipe cache" and "Wipe data" ! Then reboot your phone and check if it's working
If it don't work, reflash your phone using SEUS !

This should be stickied but NEVER, EVER, EVER freeze, delete or even look at any of the Google Apps (any of the apps that say "Google..."), those apps are necessary in order for the system to work correctly, so by removing Google Talk you basically broke your Market.
Just restore a backup (if you have one), reflash the Google Apps or reflash your entire ROM, because I don't think there's a way to reinstall Google Talk.
Okay, looks like I'll have to start from scratch again then.
If I reinstall Android using the sony software, I take it I will lose all apps and root?
I think in future I'll avoid removing bloatware
Yeah, flashing the Sony ROM will wipe your phone clean, but hey it's not that hard to root and flash a custom ROM, just look around for tutorials and you'll be good to go
Was looking at the minicm6 rom, but can't really see the pro's outweighing the con's on using a custom rom. From what I understand, some things like camera and wireless are buggy.
Think I'll stick to the official 'stable' 2.1

Actually, MiniCM6 1.0.0 is pretty much stock ROM stable and has all the functionality of it, I use it every day and it works perfectly, what you have to weigh in the pro/cons is MiniCM7 as the Camera is still stuck on 640x480 instead of 5MP.
Right, flashed minicm6 rom, loaded and run okay, but just didn't like it.
Flashed back to stock 2.1 using sony software, everything back to normal, marking downloading again
On;y thing now is when I plug my phone into computer, it doesn't give the option to install pc companion anymore, just charge or connect. Not that I'm really too bothered though...
More than a little confused by the fact this app is not available for the Streak if you go to Android Market yet it came as part of an official Rom release not too long ago.
Can anyone recommend a good car home app?
From this article:
. . .Car Home - which was initially released for all Froyo-powered phones - has now been locked down to just two smartphones: the Nexus One and Motorola Droid

You can get the apks for car home from the 351 rom. Download the update zip in the 351 folder here and extract it, you can then get whatever apps you need. I am not sure which files it will take.
Edit: you might try changing the fingerprint of your phone to nexus one and see if you can get it from the market. May or may not work.
I like Car Home Ultra by TheSpinningHead
Car home is included by default in all streak stock roms and also should be in all custom roms. It should only be missing if you rooted and deleted it.

I installed 354 last night. I have been renaming apks, not deleting them, and CarHome is not in there. Unless it is someplace other than "system/app".
I can vouch for it being there with 354 because I uninstalled it to install CarHome Ultra. Bit I think its called CarHome Dock... not sure. But its definitely there
Oh wow it seems like 354 is missing car home. I've been using streakdroid since i got mine so I musta missed that. 351 DOES have it bundled though.
Are you sure you saw the google car home in 354? I dont see it in the apk list, could it possibly be a different, non-official car home?
Here's a copy from 351, the version is 2.2.1.5, which is strange as the one on market is 2.2.1.4.
Looking at the files in BB 351 and 354 I do not see the car dock in 354, and in 351 I find CarDock.apk.
Edit: should never double check while the add post window is open. Of course I tripled checked because I didn't think TheManii could be wrong.
I know I need to enable installing non-market apps, but where is the best place to put the file to install it?
Thanks

Just download them anywhere on your SD card (location doesn't matter) Then browse to them using any file manager (Astro or Root Explorer) and tap to install. The 2.2 Car home I linked needs both apk files installed. I think the Car Dock from 351 may be tablet optimized for Streak though (larger icons).
Fyi, I almost always download from my computer into my Dropbox public folder and then install from Dropbox on my phone.
Having played around for a few minutes with the Streak Car Home, anyone who installs the Car Home currently available on the Market is actually downgrading their copy of Car Home. The "New" version of Car Home for the Nexus One and Droid isn't new, and every feature that the "New" Car Home has listed on the Car Home Upgrade Article on Google's Blog is already available in the Streak APK.
The Streak Car Home APK is a higher version number than the version available on the Market, which means to me there are bug fixes in the version on the 351 ROM that aren't on the official app in the Market. Therefore, common sense says to use the APK from the 351 ROM.

Well Manii I can't be 100% positive... I had taken your advice and restored the stock recovery for 351 and flashed 351 pkg, then decided to go with 354 so I flashed that... THEN I flashed StreakMod and 1.9.1... and CarHome was there, so I guess it could have possibly been a remnant of the 351 package...
Now, I'm in Costa Rica and even though I use either of the Market Enablers, I don't see the CarHome y'all are talking about in the Market.
Have any of you tried the CarHome Ultra by Spinning Head to give me a comparison. I have never used the bundled Streak CarHome, I have always deleted it right off the bat.

This is the second time today that I have seen where 351 was recommended over 354. Can someone please explain why? I'm not one of those who automatically assumes the newest is the bestest, but aren't they both 2.2.2? What is different that makes one preferable over the other as a starting point for someone who is going to gut it anyway?

Well, the end of that same statement I also mentioned I flashed 354 package right on top of the 351. NOW, the reason I did that is because StreakDroid 1.9.1 I believe is built off of 354, so for stability's sake I flashed with 354 before SD 1.9.1.
I have no idea what the technical differences between 351 and 354 are except that 351 was the US release and 354 was the HongKong release. Hopefully TheManii or marvin02 or someone more knowledgeable in that aspect can answer your question.
The first time I flashed 351 I did put SD 1.9.1 on top of it, after flashing 354 and then putting SD 1.9.1 on top of it, I can't really tell any difference.
What I can tell you is flashing the update.pkg insted of just the amss and dsp1 for each build made a world of difference
354 is customized for the region (Hong Kong). From reading posts here it has less support for alternate languages. I haven't been able to find any details on other differences. I have stayed with the more generic 351.
It seems to have less bloatware than 351, but unless I have the situation confused, 354's code is also a few hours older than the code for 351 as well as using an older version of the Stage UI.
Courtesy of WinMerge I have attached a file that shows the differences between the apps in 351 and 354. It is an html file renamed to txt so that I could attach it, DL and rename it if you are interested.
That's a very telling document.

It's a bit misleading as dell will bump the internal version identifier with each new rom that they udpate. Even if the apk itself has had no real changes.
I usually recommend 351 as it has StageUI 1.6
351 and 364: StageUI 1.6
All other froyo roms: StageUI 1.5
They put the newest stuff in 351, and stuff that was made after used older code. StageUI is just the really obvious/easy to spot difference. I'd imagine there's other changes under the hood.
You could compare it similarly to: Fresh install of windows 7 RTM vs a fully patched copy of windows XP SP3. The win7 is a bit older as it launched over a year ago and xp is still recieving patches. But obviously win7 is still the newer of the two even if you use the year old unpatched version.
As for carhome itself: I dont know what's going on with the 2 apks vs 1 apk. It seems like older versions required 2 apks, 1 is the car home app itself, and one is the launcher shortcut that appears in the app drawer.
The one in 351 seems to combine both of them into a single apk. As my current rom only has the carhome.apk i linked to and not the other one, and it works correctly with no issues.
I'm looking a bit more at rooting via manual nooter on OS 1.4.1.
As of now, the Android Market is not working
In my hands, the BN shop is also not working. Books cannot be downloaded. (The reader does work, though, so you can shop and then download to your PC, then push the files in manually if you like.)
Together, those two elements not working argue against rooting 1.4.1 for anything other than study and development, I think.
- 1.4.1 installs on a device which had already been rooted (this device is rooted but not overclocked.)
- boot from a manual nooter 4-5-18 disks works
- after applying MN 4.5.18 and the APK enabler, the device booted. Root was retained and SU works fine (I was able to use adb wireless)
- install via ADB works
Other things to be aware of:
- this is not a Gingerbread release for the NC.
- the home button behavior is changed a LOT. Home Catcher for the Nook Tablet will also work here, though.
- the device automagically snarfs Google contacts if it's registered to a gmail address, it seems. There is no warning on that. I think that behavior is a Big Effing Problem.
About to try hopefully it works. I know I couldnt install update on 1.3 with CWM going back to complete stock and then update and then MN.
Yes, if CWR is written to your boot, you cannot install BN updates.
It might be possible to use a flashable 1.3 installer to write only /boot, reboot, then update to 1.4.1. I know there is a flashable 1.3, but I do not know where it lives.

Yeah I went back to 1.3 stock and then to 1.4.1 update.
It would be nice if some one conforms about Market
"It would be if some one conforms about Market"
Yeah, wouldn't it?
I'm figuring from the lack of screaming it's probably working.
Market is up. Some apps still missing. Having a bit of problem with Zeam launcher. Nook launcher is taking control.
Straight from my ICS i897 Sonic Screwdriver!!!!!
So from a rooted 1.3.1 you:
Use CWM to install a vanilla 1.3 ROM, then update to 1.4.1 via B&N download, then root using only 4.5.18? I seem to remember to root 1.3.1 you needed to root with 4.5.16 and then 4.5.18.
I have been able to use 4-5-18 without any problems on both 1.2 and 1.3.
You may not even need to install the vanilla ROM - you may well be able to install to a rooted device, so long as you have not meddled with /boot, either by installing a CWR boot internally or by overclocking.
My fast experiment this morning involved updating a rooted 1.3, then rooting that resulting 1.4.1.
Anyone check to see if it will still boot from an SD card, just want to confirm before update, but because it is still rootable I can always downgrade.
Edit: I am in the process of updating as I type this, I will post the results in case anyone else needs them.

Others have tested and confirmed, but that's not something they can change on this device with a software update anyway

In my case the Market runs but it's totally useless: I can't see my apps, it doesn't find most of what I want to install and when it does I can't install anything (it just goes back to the Apps menu). So it totally sucks since the B&N market is really lame!

For whatever reason, many Nook Colors that come stock with 1.3 installed just bootloop if rooted with 4.6.16, even if rooted first with 4.5.18. I can confirm this with a new NC purchased for my girlfriend's mom. Runs OK if just rooted with 4.5.18, except for it having the ancient market. Haven't been able to update the market yet, though gmail will update itself.
Updated to 1.4.1 (had to return to stock 1.3 to install the update, even without CWM flashed), using homecatcher to overcome the new "n" button "feature", but market is hit and miss. Was able to download and install Astro, but Titanium Backup doesn't want to download and install. I'll try sideloading it later.
What's the new n button feature? Is it possible to make a flashable update, like with 1.2 and 1.3?

If you press it once, it brings up the B&N "dock" that used to be at the bottom of the screen. If you press it twice, it brings up the B&N launcher.
Correction, I thought I was able to download Astro from market, but apparently I didn't. Now I've got no way to sideload apps, which makes this pretty useless...

I realize this, but this nook is a gift for my girlfriend's mom, who lives out of state, and I know there's no way she's going to sideload everything using ADB... I need to get her a working market, even if I've got to go back to 1.3 and disable the update.
Ended up using 4.5.18 on my stock 1.3 NC. ADB Sideloaded in the Kindle app and a couple others and used the Nook App Manager to drop icons out on the main stock launcher page. I was really looking to add teh Kindle app so I could read all my purchased books on a single device, so I'm quite content. I'd like to see better market, etc but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Just in case someone follows this thread, rooted 1.4.1 is working well now. manualnooter-5-12-18.zip does it for ya.
Market works. You can add non-B&N apps to the B&N app and home screens using Nook Color App Manager. Putting the Kindle app on there is no problem. Netflix, HBO GO and Max GO work. Hulu Plus refuses to run on the device. B&N subscriptions download and update the dock. B&N enhanced content (e.g. Wired magazine) work fine.
If non-techie friends and family want an enhanced B&N Nook Walled Garden experience, this will do it!
Hello all,
First off, thanks to everyone involved in the creation of this awesome ROM for the Streak. Finally a stable Gingerbread ROM for the Streak!
Now, on to the issue. Having finally been convinced to try out the Firefox Sync feature again (the first time it well and truly failed) I had set up my desktop and installed Firefox for Android via the App Market. Then, lo and behold, upon starting it up rather than the standard Google start screen I was expecting the entirety of the text on the app was replaced with a large selection of random symbols rather than the standard Latin alphabet. This, obviously, has rendered the application rather useless to me. I can confirm, through the languages screen (reached via random stabs at keys on the option menu), that only Latin characters are affected with the other alphabets seemingly untroubled.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is or how it may be fixed?
I'm getting that same issue. It has something to do with Firefox detecting region and language upon first time opening. I'm pretty sure it can be fixed thru build.prop and changing region but since I'm not familiar with any of that maybe someone else can help us. Instead of Firefox I'm using opera n dolphin hd but I really wanna try firefox
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
This is caused by the font used in GingerStreak 2.4.4 and it was mentioned by Steve, that he wouldn't change it since only Firefox seems affected.
2.4.2 has the stock android fonts, replace DroidSans.ttf and DroidSansBold.ttf in /system/fonts/, reboot and you should be good.
P.S. The problem with firefox was discussed in the announce thread for 2.4.4, so you should really there first, before posting a separate thread.
Thanks for the solution, but unfortunately that failed. Every time I replaced the files using root explorer my Streak failed to boot after restarting (getting stuck on the BIOS screen/Android animation on the Gingerstreak stock boot)!
I also tried replacing the files in the install zip with the ones you suggested and reflashing the OS without any success.

That is odd, i never had a problem after swapping out the fonts. Have you tried deleting the old files and then copying the new ones, instead of overwriting?
