First things first: Thanks to DJ_Steve for the awesomeness and customisability he's brought to the Streak with Streakdroid. Only took the plunge on 1.9.0 due to my own fears and inexperience, but I'm loving everything (except the loss of the StageUI on 1.9.1, but thats just me being silly!).
Anyway, on to the issue: Having installed 1.9.1 the other day (after solving wierd screen issues with a calibration) I have discovered that my keyboard, Thumb keyboard, seems to be have been forced into a theme which makes it very difficult to read the alternative characters for a key. Also, I'm unable to change the theme to any of the other Thumb keyboard themes so its stuck like this.
I'm using Launcher pro with the 140 screen density and I'm just wondering if this is caused by Streakdroid or is coming from Launcher Pro? These are the only two big differences in my Streak setup for 1.9.1!
thumb keyboard
I am having the same problem. only way i have been able to get around it is. clear the data from talkback and then clear data from thumb keyboard. Some how the talkback keyboard is overiding everything. happened on 1.9.0 also. not just 1.9.1. wish I could remove talkback
I would have to say that it is not streakdroid.
I'm on 1.9.1, but using adw launcher ex.
No issues changing themes for thumb keyboard on mine.

Have you tried stock screen density (160)? Removing Thumb Keyboard and reinstalling?
Thumb Keyboard just updated to 4.3 today with a new theme browser. Maybe try that? I know I had a similar problem with keyboard settings not sticking on SD1.8.1. I think the trick is to remove every third party keyboard one by one with a reboot in between. Then once you're back to only the stock android keyboard, reinstall thumb keyboard and it should work.
I am using us120 and launcher pro plus on sd 1.9.1 and everytime I reboot have to go and redo settings on thumb keyboard. only keyboard available in imput method is now thumb keyboard. Still think it has something to do with talkback keyboard. Does anyone know how to remove that app.
I removed talkback with titanium backup. I had it frozen for a couple weeks with no issues, so I went ahead and installed. I am on Streakdroid 1.9.1

I am using dell streak 2.2.2 with streakdroid 1.9.1
After using it for 3-4 days everything started force closing.
For eg.-
process com.google.process.gapps
process com.android.mms
process com.google.android.gm
process com.cooliris.media
etc etc....
I factory reset my phone nd den tried it again but again the same problem after 2 days..And a lot of other downloaded apps also start force closing. I am fed up of factory resetting my phone again and again.
Thnx..

Well, ADW keeps force closing each time I try to change the theme.. So, how can I replace it with something else and uninstall aDW completely?
I installed Launcher pro and made it default home screen chooser. Its working smoothly with Mik's gingerbread rom
Doesn't work with CM7 ... I uninstalled the ADW via titanium backup, and then removed the process via another program (after installing Launcher Pro) but of course now the phone is all messed up again. So looks like I'll be re-flashing with CM7 tomorrow.
If anyone knows how to correctly disable/uninstall ADW, and replace it with another one I'd appreciate it a lot.. Starting to hate this mod really bad.
Why do you want to uninstall? I think that adw is built in to cm7. Only install an another launcher, for me works well. I use the launcher 7, but i used the launcher pro too.
Sorry for bad english.
Running Blackhole 4.4 w/Black Alien 2.2 theme, got everything set the way I liked it with Launcher Pro Plus, then on battery pull with a SetCPU related lockup all my LP widgets are gone, as well as all launcher pro icons, and now it says I don't have an unlock key installed. Gone through and checked, uninstalled and re-downloaded unlocker, tried everything short of another flash. Anyone know what's causing this? Second time I've had it happen today, I'm rather tired of re-flashing and reorganizing everything at this point.
I had the same issue and asked LP. They replied with the following:
"You can solve this issue by using a root explorer and erasing /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher"
I did this and it worked. You will need to rekey the unlock code. This can be obtained by saying you forgot the code on the phone and they will send it to your email.

Launcher pro does have a few issues I use it and every other time when I reboot my phone I either have to task kill it or it force closes. Its the only launcher that does it but its the most complete launcher in my opinion. Although I wish someone would make a gingerbread standard launcher that's able to use custom homescreen iconS.
I have only had y atrix a few days and am starting to get really fed up with how laggy the device is.
I have installed the updates as advised by the handset and even trien using a 3rd party launcer (launcher pro and adw ex) but still have the same problems.
The biggest thing that frustrates me is when i am trying to type a email and it constantly laggs between typing words.
mine is a uk handset on orange network.
any advice how i get over this...do i need to root it and remove certain blootware or upgrade to android 2.3?/
please advise me with links etc to how i get over this
Try freezing the motorola bloatware through titanium backup. Do a search in the development forum to find the thread.
Could make the difference. Will certainly boost battery life!

Is it laggy over all or just when typing? my Atrix is not laggy at all but certain keyboards cannot keep up. IMO Swiftkey BETA in the market is pretty fast, try another keyboard out.
Use cache mate should kill alott of the lagg

No lag here. But yea another keyboard might help.
I noticed that it's app dependent. In some apps its fast, and other apps its laggy/sluggish. The native SMS/MMS texting client slugs behind in screen refresh on the keyboard. Other apps go smooth. I am using BETTER KEYBOARD 8 (paid version), instead of the native keyboard.

lags when sliding between different screens, tried it with standard launcher and also launcher pro in the hope that would be quicker...same problem.
i also fin that it lags badly when typing.just dosent keep up and i am by no means the fastest typer.
phone is standard apart from the launcher, standard keyboard. has the latest over the air update on it.
Hard reset after an OTA update? Cures 99% of problems.. no lag here btw

My runs perfect with lp plus, you have to much running in the background probably! Better 8th & swift are great I have both, using swift now as I feel it's a little better for me.
I had to uninstall Launcher Pro Plus because it took like 3 seconds for a swipe on the screen (the first/second times) to move. It was unbearable.
The original launcher has a lower FPS but at least it works. It sucks in comparison to LPP but if it works, it beats just about anything.
With Blur, things are significantly laggy.
With Launcher Pro, the default animation times create a lot of useless lag, so, under LP preferences, I changed the animations times to instant (eg. zero) or near instant, and I have absolutely no lag anywhere anymore. This is on rooted stock 1.8.7.
its the stock apps. they arent optimized for our phones. if you ran the 2.3.4 you could tell. the keyboard or anything didnt lag on there. even though its buggy.
install better keyboard, that doesnt lag for me. i use swype and it doesnt lag. also install the TWlauncher in themes&apps. it doesnt really lag at all, smooth as butter.
thanks for the reply
i will give the suggested options a try
The new swype beta crashes my phone... it was great except for emails and passwords.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
Laggy?
Several issues to take into account:
The launcher that you use. I use None, so that takes the burden off my cpu a lot
The ROM. Stock 2.3.4 is sloww. but can try Ninja or others
The app killer. Try use one that does the job of getting rid of stray processes at least on an hourly basis. Android Assistant is the one I use.
Try and use Start Up auditor, and make sure you dont have unwanted code getting into the mess.
If you have apps in your ext SD that is also a problem.. mine are all in internal SD.
As one previous post mentioned try and freeze unwanted bloatware.
Believe it or not, if your battery is not in a good shape, that will put a burden on the CPU.
Use SetCPU and create profiles. Dont let the phone run out of memory.. that is also a killer. If u use LP, try ant leave it in memory. See if that improves things.
Use Elixir and see who is bugging you.
cheers !
my 2c (AT&T model but in Australia)
- stock froyo = laggy. Launcher pro or ADW helps.
- stock gingerbread = mostly fixed, would be fine for most IMO. Launcher pro flies. Blur is still there however sucking valuable juice and cycles
The ultimate solution? unlock BL and custom ROM. There is nothing wrong with this phone's hardware, its motorola's build that lets it down.
I downloaded Age of Zombies from the Amazon App Store freebie list, and aside from refusing to run, it locks up my NC. I get a black screen and when I try to close it, it resets ADW Launcher and screws up my background. If I just let it run with the black screen, after about 30 seconds my NC reboots. BTW - I'm running Phiremod 6.3.
Anyone else get it to work, and if so... how?
I ran it with almost no issue on my Nook, CM7 Nightlies w/ OC kernel on SD.
The only issue I had was that it slightly over-scaled to full screen, cropping off some of the dialogue & menus; other than that, it ran fine.
I ended up uninstalling it though, not because of any technical issue, but because it got kind of boring after a bit.
Edit: I just thought to include that I'm also running Zeam as my launcher, seeing as AoZ conflicts with your ADW.
Are you running Chainfire 3D? I tried it with the driver on and off, and still no luck.

I haven't installed chainfire yet, so it's the default drivers.
I'm using CM7 nightlies, no-OC, Chainfire w/ nVidia plugin (not sure this is needed, it's just what I have enabled) and normal ADW launcher and it seems to be working fine. The initial startup seemed to have some issues, but after that it worked. The screen size does need some tweaking tho, probably need to re-enable the full screen in CM settings.
Good luck
Maybe a phiremod issue? But if memory serves (it should, I'm 11) phiremod is based of of CM7. Try a CM7 sd card to eliminate that variable.
I have been running this with no issues besides a little bit of cropping.
- CM7 Nightly 102
- Chainfire3d
- ADW Launcher
Try turning off compatibility mode. Or re-flash.
IT's basically Robotron updated. Fun.
I also have phiremod 6.3 and when i run it, my screen just stays black. When i exit my wallpaper is also just black but no FC's or reboots. After about a minute my live wallpaper was back
I initially had FC issues running cm126, oc kernel and adw. Fixed permissions and rebooted. Seems to be running fine now. Try fixing permissions in rom manager or recovery.

Anyone change their stock CM7 keyboards I like some of the replacement keyboards I've seen but wonder if it's safe to install these? I would like a keyboard with bigger keys and a .com key
Hacker & Swype installed without issue here
using thumb keyboard which has pretty big keys. might want to try that out.
I like thumbs keyboard as well, but I have had some occasional force close issues with it. they are rare. I use this keyboard with my phone, tablet, and nook
Using Swype and Slideit both successfully on CM7. Swype in CM9 becomes almost half size and I have to install from backup.
