I like the stock 2.2 351 ,but there is a little lag,is there a way to tweak it faster??cheers
I'm on 351 and haven't noticed any lag so far. When does that occur? Have you frozen/removed any stock apps?
I kept Arcade by Kongregate, Kindle, QuickOffice, and TuneIn Radio. Everything else I ditched, especially the Stage UI once I installed Launcher Pro. What you choose to keep is up to you, but definitely get rid of Stage UI, as that is where the biggest source of your lag comes from.
Yup the default Dell UI is pretty laggy.
Install LauncherPro (zippy UI) and Homesmack, then use Homesmack to make launcherpro the default UI.
Should see quite a difference in the lag.
if you like close to stock why not try out simple streak.
But I can't stray from StreakDroid

But Simplestreak needs changing BBand. and i dont want to do that thing
Will Simple streak work with 351 baseband i.e. flashed over stock 351??????????????

Flashing a baseband is practically the easiest thing you can do to your Streak. If you fear flashing then tweaking is far out of your reach also my friend.

i m nt fear of flashing.............
the thing is sum tym my pc won't recognise my streak while gong 2 fastboot .h've 2 try several tyms......

regarding, simple streak...i tryd, and its great work , smooth, workd for me on 351...
still back to stock 2.2.2....waiting 2 try krad REDROM ........ seems sexy work.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I have one question...............
what exactly is difference between 351 and 354..................wat exactly worth if i shift to 354 fully ....{m in India (ASIA)}???????
Ur/anyone comments would b great help............................
According to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official 351 seems to be the generic US rom from Dell while the 354 is optimized for Hong Kong which when you flash to it will change the default language to chinese.
Also the 354 rom display most chinese character correctly from my limited time playing with it before changing to simplestreak
The chinese characters go away if you choose Swype as the default keyboard and uninstall the other. I only noticed them in text editing fields.
Hmmm never really played with the stock 354 besides opening the music player and notice the chinese character displayed correctly instead of the box
Am glad simplestreak is on 354

Ok, so I got my AWS dell streak (with the bands for T-Mobile 3G) and I absolutely LOVE it. Im coming from a mytouch 4g, so while I enjoy huge screen, there are some things that just dont work the same.... Im not new at all to android, but I am a staight up noob when it comes to the streak (dell products in general) I was hoping you experts could point me in the right direction.
To start the phone came with 2.2.2 out of the box. I installed clockworkmod recovery, and flashed streakdroid 1.8.1 Very stable and fast. However I cant figure out some little stuff, and im sure its easy I just dont know where to look.
1. Lockscreen is stuck in landscape. I installed adw ex to flip back and forth from my homescreen, but my lockscreen is always in landscape....is there a simple way to force it back to portrait? I dont need all the fancy unlock widget crap, just protrait lol.
2. Some games (gangstar 2) will only play on a tiny potion of my screen...If I wanted a small screen I wouldve kept my Mytouch 4G!... I tried the compadibility mode in spare parts but that didnt help.
3. Obviously some gameloft games wont work yet as said in the streakdroid thread. Is there alist of which ones work and which ones dont? Also if we install sd files ourselves instead of downloading them is there a way to "patch" them to work?" Ive seen different "packages" for different devices ex. sammy tab, nexus s, and desire will all have different sd card data.... is there one that would work with our device?
4. Notification LED app worh it? Just need some opinions, I miss the leds blinking lol.
5. Im also interested to see what settings you all use in your "install.txt" for streakdroid. Also wondering if Perfmod made your phone not as stable. Would perfmod help out performance on some games? Or not worth the trouble?
6. What kind of cases do you all use for your streak? I just ordered the otterbox commuter, it does seem kinda bulky on a phone thats not small already lol.... I assume I wont be using this as my mp3 player while I work out
7. What video chat program do you guys use. I dont like that oovoo requires you to be "signed in" at all times to get a video call...I liked Tango and Qik on the Mytouch, but they are not working yet. They have found a workaround for the mytouch, Im curious if this would fix our FFC issues as well..
Would this work?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975502
8. On my Mytouch 4G (CM7) there was an option under settings>applications that would let me hold the back button to kill the current running application. I enjoy using that over a task manager, is there a way to do that with our Streak?
There are probaby a few other dumb questions that I cant recall right now. Anyway, thanks for the input....this is my new baby haha
Hi just to say i have just installed the Notification LED i like it down side is every time u switch ur streak of u have to open it or it just mite be me

OK I am having a new "issue"
1. When I use the volboost kernel (havent tried any other yet); my phone speaker volumes are very loud and high quality. But from the 3.5 jack my music is lower in volume and sound quality...any ideas on that one?
Hi everyone, and hails to all devs. I'm a long time lurker, first post here. Should have posted in the development thread, but it won't let me because I never posted before :-( ... so hopefully roebeet looks at this section as well...
Also, some background about myself, I'm an android phone user, being using an rooted MB300 phone for a year now. But I am a new gtablet user, and jumped onto this bandwagon with the rest of the wooters. I've flashed the newest TnT lite 4.4 (3/30/2011) onto my gtablet, the installation is smooth, booted up without a problem, and just to be safe, I also did a data wipe (well, actually a factory reset since I didn't use CWM to flash the system). The system runs fine, everything works great, except two things.
1. It won't let me switch input method. I've downloaded and installed swiftkey and iflytek to the gtablet, and in settings, it won't let me check the enable checkbox, after pressing on the checkbox for about 100 times, it finally give me a FC...
2. The speaker constantly playing a low pitch drumming sound for no reason, the sound comes randomly, even during the system idle, with no apps running (i force stopped all running apps in application management). So I figure it is not a problem associated with a perticular app.
is anyone else experiencing the same problems, or is it just me? If it is just me, I'll probabiliy reflash the rom, and hopefully have better luck at it.
Thanks a lot.
To get the keyboard working you'll need to move the apk to data/app then reboot and switch keyboards like normal, I used root explorer. As for the sound issue, I'm not having anything like that on my end so not sure.
Yeah, the keyboard addon issue is one that stock has had since Day One, so TNT Lite is also affected. It's one of many reasons why VEGAn is such a popular ROM, as it doesn't have this problem. VEGAn also supports USB mice, as I recall, whereas TNT (Lite) does not. I keep hoping that the vendor will fix this problem, one of these days.
That sound might be a hardware problem, however. I would recommend getting back to a clean stock baseline like 3588, and test it that way for a day or so. TNT Lite 4.4.0 is using a UAT 3991 system image that should work fine, but perhaps there's something buggy in there. I haven't had the issue, at least not yet.
thanks a bunch for the replies, I've actually played with the stock rom for a day before flashing, it doesn't seem to have to sound problem, and I've flashed to calkulin's rom, it doesn't have to sound problem as well, maybe if i reflash tnt lite, the problem would go away. As for the input method, after encounter the same thing with calkulin's rom, I figured it would be a limitation with orginal tnt system... thanks a lot anyways, I'll try out the different roms on the board, have nothing better to do at friday night anyways...
That keyboard thing
I went nuts wondering why I couldn't change keyboards even when I had three different ones in the input method showing. Here is something someone else posted that seems to work everywhere. I just tested it on tnt lite 4.40 and it works there too. Go to some app that wants keyboard input. I used QuickOffice - QuickWord. Touch the area that will call up a keyboard for input but do a long press. A menu will pop up and one of the choices will be input method. When you choose it another menu will pop up with all the keyboards you have installed. Whichever one you select will become your new default keyboard. To change to another just repeat this procedure. Hope this helps.
enigma0456,
I have the same issue as the original poster and what you and many others describe does NOT work for new keyboards installed via standard methods. Before new keyboards can be exposed to that selection list they need to be enabled and the TNT settings UI doesn't allow for this. :-(
I put together a quick tutorial to push whatever keyboard apk you want to the system.

Problems with tnt lite 4.40
Hello everyone, i'm new to the rooting and flashing thing. I just bought the viewsonic g-tab and right off the bat noticed that I hate the orginal software. I rooted it with Z4 and flashed TNT lite 4.40. I am having f/c all the time and it freezes just about the same. I have tried to watch movies on it but am unable to hear sound.
Ist it the apps or possably the flash? Again I'm new to this stuff if anybody could help.
Also what is the difference when you root with Z4 than with anyother? Can I flash other roms like vegan if I have already flashed TNT?

Yep. Just make sure you wipe data and cash. Were you getting the process.acore fc? If so that is a known and easily fixable solution. Did you ever use cwm to fix permissions? That really hrlps with fcs
Im not sure what process.acore or cwm.....Im really green at this, first time doing it

You don't need cwm, at least not yet. Backup the data you care about, then do a data wipe via Settings -- Security -- Factory Restore (and let it reboot).

I am new to all this too..but i will take a shot....
Do you know what version you had before you went to TNT Lite?
You could try a factory reset (settings->security) to see if it fixes your problems.
Unless you were on the most recent update of the stock ROM version (build 4349) and you dont care about it in the near future, the usual way to flash a new ROM was using ClockworkMod (cwm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
However with the new update (4349) things are in a flux right now, cwm is not the best thing to use if you are on an older stock rom, and if you want to install 4349 at some point. Read through the stickies and familiarize yourself with everything that is going on.
youtube videos by ehunyadi are also a good source of information.

Hi everyone,
I must point out that I am pretty new to the whole custom ROM thing, I still have the stock ROM and everything on my xperia x10,
so my question is which ROM gives the best performance (ie less lag, good battery life, not many bugs, etc)? and can you give me simple instructions on how to install it because I don't want to screw something up and brick my phone, please?
Also when having a custom ROM installed, are you able to implement (install) patches given out by sony ericsson or you just follow the forum and wait for the developer of the ROM to make a patch, and if there's a patch from the developer how do you install it? (I presume you can't install the patches from sony ericsson, I'm just asking). And how often does the developer release the patches?
And do I have to delete everything with a factory reset from my phone before I do ANYTHING? at which step should it be done? can I backup everything using backup and restore program that's already aboard the x10 and restore it later, or the program will disappear when I install a custom ROM? if it wont, will it bring back my sms and mms effectively, and applications too?

+1 for wolfbreak's
Hi there, as you can see from my post count, I'm pretty new to this as well. I've only tried wolfbreak so far but am amazed at it's stability. As far as I've seen you will lose SMS etc however lots of things can be saved to the cloud, so first thing I'd do is make sure all contacts are marked as Google sync
I initially found the flashing to be problematic, but that was mostly because I was an idiot and failed to notice that the flashing software also adds functions such root access and xrecovery when the phone is NOT in flash mode. Since. Then I've been able to upgrade to the latest version (06) without even using a computer. Simply downloading the file onto my phone, moving it with the included file manager and rebooting to the recovery menu
I know have a faster more responsive phone with lots of added features such as Flash, Voice Search and loads more customization options. IMHO well worth the twenty minutes or so it will initially take
Make a note of your favourite apps as well, as the market only remembers paid for apps not your free ones, but for me the change over was pretty seamless and after only a day and a half with it am more than happy. So much stuff is held within the cloud that setting back up isn't the mega ballache it seems before doing it
Wolfbreak's ROM is the most 'fun' to use, the most tweaks avaliable
TripnMIUI's ROM is one you need if you just want your phone to work. Also, it has an iphone-like look (IMO I hate it, but some people like it)
Jereplea's Gingerbread mod is for those who want to be active in making the ROM better and test Gingerbread and custom kernels. It's not really that stable, but it's getting better by the day and it's the most updated ROM.
IMO those are the 3 big ROMS, there are smaller ones and you're free to check them out, they're pretty good too, but those are just my opinions on the top 3 ROMS.

another +1 for tripnmiui's rom, pretty well featured
for me TripNMiui is always the best
TripNMiui with custum kernel
I'd say Wolfbreak's so far...
It runs flawlessly...
I've been testing many custom ROMs for a while, and up to now, the ones I liked the most are TripNMiUI's and Wolfbreak's ones. It's hard even to pick up one of them... TripNMiUI's has a great visual and is very clean. Wolfbreak's, in the other hand, works flawlessly and very stable, and I love that ARC's style.
Actually, I'm using Wolfbreak's now.

Or use the app Titanium Backup to restore all apps and data when switching. Works like a charm for me.
I am probably late to the game but didn't see this anywhere so thought I would just mention - I just flashed this Gingerbread based ROM real quick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092565 and then flashed the APK mentioned here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/skype-2-available-for-other-devices/ and made a quick test call from my netbook to my Streak - It wasn't perfect (could be due to slow network connection and not doing a clean install of the new ROM) but anyway, it did work.
So I just did a quick video call to my parents and confirmed that it works very well - I was also able to switch from the front camera to the back camera.
Asking because I don't know; What is the difference between Skype and Fring? Fring all day with my kids and seems to be the same as what you just did with your parents.
do you need gingerbread for this to work?
yes, I believe so you need gingerbread for this.
hopefully they will eventually release an app for those of us with devices still stuck on official 2.2
Fring is a cool app but I am not sure if they have a desktop version - I have only used it once on a friend's phone. Frankly I have been using Oovoo for some time now to call my parents and it has worked great, but I have MANY more contacts who use Skype and didn't feel like spending the time or energy to try and get them all to switch.
Yes - for sure you need Gingerbread - I took a stab at installing it on Streakdroid 1.9 but it was a no go. As soon as I installed the above ROM and then installed the APK it worked.
As a side note the above ROM seems to be working great - I had been planning to install DJ Steve's Gingerbread ROM but will have to wait until I have some time.

What would happen if I just change my build.prop to read version 2.3.3?
Are there other areas of the phone that confirm gingerbread?

My guess is it would force close - just changing the version doesn't actually make it Gingerbread so there would be compatibility issues. I will check later since I am going to be playing around with another Streak tonight.

]This is a pretty major overhaul of Gingerbread for Streak 5
This is collaboration between myself and DjSteve, with some huge contributions from ADW_Maniac and others, you know who you are
****NEW INFO*****
I've been given a present today from someone in the East. so I think its fair that I pass it on...
a kernel from a gb rom, with some appropriate files to go with it.
****NEW INFO*****
YOU must flash these AMSS & DSP to go with it..
If you don't know how to flash AMSS & dsp then DO NOT TRY THIS
I'm not responsible for USER ERROR
there is no overclock or extra governers, but tbh you don't need them at the moment,
this is quick and stable staggeringly so. it will do for a few weeks!
now onto the nice stuff
this is a 2.3.3 rom, its pretty quick overall, and fairly stable.
it has EXT4 fs (tweaked till its nipples bleed)
it has some very funky memory hacks
OLD INFO -out of date-
the kernel is based on Dells alpha kernel code, (which is why some stuff doesn't work too well)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its a mix of lots of different things from AOSP code, to dell binaries (we're changing what we can as we go, but frankly its not easy reverse engineering these)
3d scores, IO scores are pretty quick
Overall its very responsive rom
Linpack scores > 41
Fingerprint is set to 2.3.3 CRESPO to allow all market apps to be shown
Its not themed at all, so native gingerbread stylee
It has a modified HOSTS file to block adverts
I've included the following key functional FREE apps (support their devs please)
VTL launcher, its a launcher designed for landscape and very configurable, also uses ADW themes
total commander rc1
volume Plus (from the mighty meltus),its gingerbread so we can have a proper equalizer!
Clocksync (helps with the timedrift)
Hackers Keyboard (stock keyboard but better!)
YOU MAY NEED TO FACTORY RESET, especially if you flash it over a 2.2 rom
If you're flashing over 2.3 build then at least delete dalvik cache.
but factory reset is recommended
BACK UP YOUR SDCARD BEFORE FLASHING (at least the any photos!) failure to do so may see them eaten by the phantom photo fancier.
thoroughly recommend the following apps to go with this
from market
setdns
setcpu
getjar
market 313
droidiris
lgCamera (very tweakable 720p camcorder!)
Locales2
Appbrain Market
Fastweb install (works fully here)

Fards, et'al, Again thank you for all that you do and have done. Quick question in the original GB had "THIS BASEBAND UPDATE IS REQUIRED FOR GPS AND SOME OTHER THINGS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY
its an engineering modified baseband that works better for 2.3
Baseband File Download:
Primary Download Site: http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/amss.mbn (now disabled due to bricking issues, never bricked mine, but removed when I heard about the issue)
THIS DSP FILE MUST ALSO BE UPDATED DUE TO CHANGED LIBRARIES IN 2.3
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/dsp1.mbn
flash this using the fastboot command fastboot -i 0x413c flash dsp1 dsp1.mbn"
Have installed the dsp1, but has the amss.mbn file ever been fixed or am I ok running 353 (am on ATT so just went with their latest BB)?
StreakDroid2_3Beta2 is a MUST have! The lEaK3d "Asian" kernel does not overclock nor VPN (yet). LeAked drivers work and can be tweaked / themed. Thank you Dell (I guess). But it is a proper GB build. There is no more Mic /Sensors/Headset/power drain issues! Fantastic!
Please DONT post about themes or theme related issues here. Instead, join us in the themes forum GB_Streak5 Theme
The mic/sensors/headset doesn't work on my streak and the power drain is quite high...
j/k

@fards Thank you so much for all of the hard work and effort that went into this. Sometimes it's easy to forget that there is still a whole lot of people working on developing for the Streak, especially when it seems like Dell forgot about us. Big props on this new release!
This is a great rom. Donation coming your way on payday (BTW way is the donate link ).
I noticed the CRT screen off animation didnt work so I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12515089. That was a big mistake. So I was wondering how hard it would be to include with the ROM? Not a big deal just a neat little feature of gingerbread.
Also just wanted to note that both my headsets with a mic/control work perfectly. The only one that doesn't is my plain jane ear buds.
Thanks again. This ROM is great thus far.
Wifi not working. Cant connect

Thanks fards, house moving, so will try this one out on weekend as normality returns! Well done!
Wont be installing yet as I need stability, but I appreciate the effort more than I can express. Looking forward to future builds. Thank you for your time, will drop a donation your way soon as I can.
vtl launcher not working properly
fire the rom twice--
first time deleted dalvik cache battery stats cache factory resetted and loaded the rom--factory reset again- the rom loaded but the home screen does not show full vtl launcher.
loaded the crt animation off also but no improvement
tried the honeycomb them 1.4 but the rom struck at android them and began recycling at this point and after few minutes put up a message that launcher not responding
second time---
deleted dalvik cache battery stats cache and factory resetted and loaded second time--the rom loaded but the home screen does not show full vtl launcher
Thanks fards for gb 2.3.....!

I tried it out for a few hours and I have to say its very quick. Compared to what we started with fards has come a long way. I went back to 1.9.1 cause I need my Netflix. Thanks fards and keep up the great work!

Here's an alternative kernel in an update.zip
its just boot.img nothing else! dont flash it without flashing the main zip first.
Only use this if you find the original kernel a bit flakey, some people find it more stable (tbh I prefer the one in the main zip)

Is it just me or did the download link disappear?
Nvm... I see what happened - Last edited by fards; Today at 01:08 PM.
Flashed it about an hour ago. After first boot I got the first "freeze" when defining my google account. But since then, it seems to work better than expected. Installed Launcherpro since the VT Launcher seems a little on the slow side. Keep up the great work Fards, thank you for this release.
