Hi all,
I flashed the ROM yesterday and I can't see any of the ROM features.
I mean, I can see on phone info Villainrom 3.0, Android version 2.3.5 and ninphetamine 2.0.5, but there is no difference at all between stock Samsung ROM and the ROM I flashed.
I downloaded it twice and I flashed through recovery and I made the wipe required after the flash. Any idea of what is happening?

Have you checked the rom's thread, specifically the VRTweaks post?
Regardless, you're likely to have more luck asking your question in the existing thread.
Also pls notice a custom rom not always at first impact looks different to stock
Usually custom TW based roms (stock based) got "hidden" tweaks more than "visual" tweaks.
Check under Phone Info (settings) if the flashed rom is running or not
Without reading VR instructions .You have to be doing something wrong following the instructions.

Hi Guys,
Am currently on stock 407, but in settings>>About Phone, it shows that my Kernel version was some version of "perf" (couldn't recall exact string).
I was using several flavors of custom ROM before flashing stock 407. I then flashed Gkernel1.5.
I was wondering if there was any way to flash stock kernel? I tried flashing stock 407 again, but the kernel remains as Gkernel1.5. :\
On a sidenote, which would be the best Kernel for GB?
Help?

Thanks for responding. It'll be helpful if you can direct me to any helpful threads.
Before posting this, I've gone through most of the threads in the 5 subsections for Dell Streak 5.
Have also searched for kernels but the only ones that come up are the custom kernels:
Gkernel (both 1.5 and the X versions), DJ Steve's as well as the Phoenix being used by DSC0.66b. Nothing about the stock kernel.
The reason I asked is I did flash stock ROM but the kernel + amss + dsp1 did not change. It remained as whatever it was before I flashed. Had to manually flash the 407 amss and dsp1 files. Only thing missing to have a completely stock GB Streak is the kernel, and I can't seem to get it by flashing the stock ROM again (i tried).
Or maybe I'm not providing enough information for you to help me? Any help is much appreciated. Just need to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Are you flashing through StreakMod using a zip or are you using the stock recovery and flashing factory update.pkg.... If you are flashing factory packages then it should flash EVERYTHING, and you may need to do it several times for it to "take" the flash fully
Hey everyone, this is thread is meant to centralize all of the information and questions about the kernels for this phone. I feel as though information about peoples issues, and their "triumphs" with certain kernels are scattered everywhere, so finding useful information can be tedious. I have noticed that most, if not all of the ROM threads specifically say, "No kernel questions". This is what this thread is going to be for. I also thought it would be neat to have some general discussion about kernels. for example, what kernels work best with what ROM, what are some of the issues that people run into, what works, what doesn't work, etc...
I know there is only a few kernel options now, but hopefully that list will grow and as it grows this thread will be become more useful.
there are only a few rules for this thread:
1. No flaming-one of goals for this thread is to help noobs, this thread is meant to de-clutter the ROM threads of kernel questions, (seemingly stupid or intelligent).
2. This thread is for talk of kernels only, there is a "off topic" discussion thread for everything else; and ROM threads to specifically talk about ROMS
So far i only know of three kernel types:
Faux's kernel
Stock kernels
X boarder's kernels, (different variants to go with different ROMS).
From what i understand Faux's kernels work with pretty much all of the ROM's but seem to cause boot loops.
I do not know too much about X's kernels and the issues they cause, so it would be nice if some one filled me in.
Ill start the thread by saying, I have used the stock kernel that shipped with my phone over the quick sense ROM, and the Bullet proof 2.4 ROM. the weird thing with that was, my WIFI worked. its weird because X, and everyone else says to flash one of X's or Faux's kernels or else wifi will not work. I have been apprehensive about flashing kernels because of the boot loop issues people have reportedly been having. however i went ahead and flashed the kernel that was included in the Bullet proof 2.4 ROM. i haven't used the phone all that much so no bootloop yet. the phone is fast and smooth. X's kernels are able to be overclocked and have three governors. i am very curious about Faux's kernel because he did some amazing things on the Mytouch 4g when i had it.

Idk about the WiFi question, I'm not educated enough on that, but what I've found to be successful is flashing the boot.img from xboarders ROM's .zip file with easy kernel flasher to get the best results. But with Energy ROM, I flash the stock kernel he provided with the stock kernel flasher. That method has worked flawlessly for me. I've never had a random reboot and I've never had a broken WiFi or BT. I've never had to flash a kernel more than once due to failed flash either.

Thanks for the response.. i just wanted to read up on all this more before i flash another rom..Ive been on Energy rom since i got the phone but at first i had the wifi issue,then i went & dwnloaded his stock kernel & flashed it thru flash image gui..i dnt have access to a computer unless i go to a friend house so i rely alot on flash image gui lol.. thats why im askin if its fine to flash roms without flashin another kernel..
I'm not sure why, but the stock kernel worked just fine On quick sense and on bullet proof. I never had a wifi issues on those but the wifi on the energy rom didn't work. I'm using faux's kernel on bullet proof 2.4. I guess fauxs kernel is included in the bullet proof zip. I have only had 1 reboot in the past week. Also faux's kernel can be over clocked which is nice if your into that. I came from a mytouch 4g also so learning all this stuff can be a pain but once you read over everything its really not that difficult

I finally relocked and forced the RUU (newest official version of our phone software) which puts you on the stock everything (ie kernel), and am running just fine on Energy ROM. Wifi works great, I haven't tried Bluetooth. So a far as I can tell, the stock kernel from TMo RUU 1.43 runs great and wifi is perfect. FYI.

I'm probably just educated enough to be way off-base, but it seems to me a kernel with a wifi problem would also have a BT problem. Do people tend to experience those 2 together?

I'm pretty sure it had to do with the official build each rom is based off of. I know the official update to 1.43 changed the kernel around so if people have a stock kernel from an earlier official ruu the wifi and bt break when updating to a build based off 1.43. Most all roms past xboarders beast mod 2.0 are built off 1.43 at least. I think there are some ones newer than 1.43 but I'm not sure if the kernel had any updates in those builds.

Hi,
Can someone help point me to a valid mirror for 2.2.2 basebands?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573948 is useful but the links are dead and its not in wiki either.
My current baseband GAUSB1A134700-EU needs to change to something higher eg. GAUSB1A136000.
Thanks very much.
use tool in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12231991 its simple & easy you can flash any baseband (included) you want.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk 2
Thanks. I found this tool too... the multibaseband flasher does only the amss part but not the dsp1.
So I used the multiflasher which does both ... great. However it's limited to certain roms only eg. 345, 351, 353, 354, 366 and 406.
The 351 works for me ... thats great for a step. :good:
It'd be nice if someone can share the 360 baseband files ... anyone?
Can you please tell me why you need to flash 360 baseband ?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2
351 seriously lags and 360 seems to be the latest retail rom according to wiki, so that's why I wanted it hopefully it will be better. If all else fails, I could go to simple streak custom rom.

The reason it's limited to certain ROMs is those ROMs were the only ones at the time that had their baseband files readily available. Also, I hope you went all the way to the end of the thread, since I went and combined both of UKSheep's tools into one new tool: Multiflasher. The baseband function was tested on my Streak and it pushed both amss and dsp files correctly.
The best Froyo baseband to use would be 366, rather than 360.
My streak is originally under retail region rom (00) so the highest possible rom is 360 according to wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5). I've read few times in xda that I can't change roms to different region. Furthermore, if using custom roms eg. CM7, does it matter which baseband I'm using cos it gets overwritten anyway, correct?

Yes, I got the multiflasher from end of the thread. Baseband 366 is different region (12) from my current region (00) ie. will have issues. I was just hoping that someone/ somewhere has active links similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573948

Ahh, I thought you were using a custom ROM, not stock. So why haven't you switched to a custom ROM like DSC, which is the custom ROM that is closest to stock, being based off the 407 ROM from Dell.
Switching ROMs from one region to another can be done with ease. Just make sure the region of the recovery matches the region of the ROM.
I wanted stock 'cos sooner or later, I'd have to sell this or pass it on to someone and it had to be stock condition, in case they have problems or didn't know how to fix.
As for custom roms, I noticed most threads have dead links already and didn't want to go there (more Q&A), I only have simple streak custom rom with me at the moment.
As for switching region ROMS, I thought it had to do with matching existing baseband with recovery/rom, not sure. Will probably backup and give it a try but again the latest Gingerbread ROM in multiflash is 406 ... anyone got baseband for 407?

If you're installing 407 you don't need to install the baseband beforehand. The 407 ROM package will install the 407 baseband at the same time as the ROM itself is installed.
Custom ROMs require flashing a matching baseband if the kernel isn't modified to ignore baseband mismatches.
Hmmm... I didn't see the stock roms installing the basebands before this eg 451 and 460, that's why I raised this thread to begin with and now using MULTIFLASH to do so.

Unlikely, unless installing one of the stock deodexed ROMs or a custom ROM. Standard operating behavior for all stock ROMs from Dell is to install all the components (recovery, baseband, system). The baseband MUST match the ROM, just as the region of the ROM must match the region of the recovery. If the stock ROMs were to omit installing the baseband you would constantly encounter baseband mismatches.
My Streak is an unlocked (region 00) model. Brand new it came with 347 on it. I posted a picture of the about page, and the baseband for that unit was GAUSB1A134700-US. When I upgraded to 351 and 360 the baseband changed both times to GAUSB1A135100 and GAUSB1A136000. When I started using custom ROMs was when I had to install the baseband files separately. In my case, I flashed the 406 baseband (GAUSB1A140614) instead of 407 (GAUSB1A1406214) to install the DSC ROM.
Stock deodexed ROMs and custom ROMs are not in Dell's package format and do not have the baseband files included within them. Thus it's necessary to flash the baseband separately. That is what the baseband portion of MultiFlasher is for. The only other reason to use MultiFlasher is to install a new recovery, either one of the two custom recoveries we have available (StreakMod or ClockworkMod) or to flash a stock recovery so as to flash a stock ROM.
My basebands don't get updated when using stock rom and recovery files downloaded from wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5 . That's why this thread was raised. If you try one from there and works, then there's something wrong with my streak.
Considering that I downloaded both 351 and 360 from there, you have a problem with your Streak. Especially as the Dell Streak Flashing Guide on the wiki has this little gem about updating the baseband.

Hey guyz...
I just rooted my s5 2.3.3 407 olleh rom
Now I am wondering what all I can do with it...
Can any1 suggest me some nice tweaks or apps..
Also can any one tell me how can I overclock... Cuz setcpu has the highest limit to 998 ........ How can it be 1500 or something like that

Root is the most powerful aspect to being able to get the most from any device.
It unlocks access to the root of the filesystem, so you can change almost anything. Also root is essential to get more functionality from your device, a lot of software requires root access to work.
In your case, try a new kernel, i am sure you will be able to overclock using Pheonix kernel for example.
To be honest, why not install a custom rom?
Everything is done for you, and kept up to date with bug fixes.
If you like the rom you have, my recommendation is the DSC rom as it is an excellent rom.

M planning to flash dsc on my stock rom
With stock kernel
Will my fone b able to overclock then or I still have to flash different kernel.?
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
If you want to be able to overclock and undervolt the processor, you need to install the Phoenix kernel as the stock Gingerbread kernel does not support either operation. You WANT to install the Phoenix kernel anyway as it has fixes above and beyond overclocking that aren't found in the 407 kernel. If you're coming from Froyo (Android 2.2.x), you cannot use a Froyo kernel with a Gingerbread (Android 2.3.x) ROM, unless of course you want to render the device unusable until corrected.
I had stock froyo
Then I updated my rom to official olleh one...without changing the kernel
Nd its working cool
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
When you change ROMs using official Dell packages, all the components are supposed to be updated to match the ROM. This is to minimize incompatibility. Therefore, when you upgraded to 407, the baseband, recovery, and the kernel should have been upgraded at the same time as the ROM itself.
In this case, you happen to be one of those for whom the kernel wasn't upgraded. And while the Froyo kernel on Gingerbread seems to work, the combination cannot be as stable or as functional as having a Gingerbread kernel with a Gingerbread ROM. The point however should be moot now as you've installed either DSC or Traveller DSC, both of which have the Phoenix kernel.
yeah now my streak has dsc

I am still learning here, a newbie. Please apologize me for my lack of knowledge.
When I first started, I read quite a number of forum until I got quite confused, but has opted a choice. After numerous attempt, I managed to flash my DS5 with Longhorn 2.9.3 using CWM. What I found out was my Baseband(BB is what they call it, am I correct?) was still 347, which later I read somewhere here, I need to have BB407 instead. Was struggling to get 407 installed, but finally manage a solution.
But I still have not really understood what refers to a Kernal, and a Baseband. What they use for, etc...
Can someone please help to explain. Thanks.
My DS5 About phone look like this now. I am wondering if the part, second from below on the picture, is a problem = "MOD VERSION : UNKNOWN:
Can anyone comment on that? Thanks.
And also, I still can't overclock my DS5 using this ROM, max still at 998. I have tried SetCPU and Antutu CPU Master, and I read many forums to find out how, but none seems to work. Have I missed a step on installation or...? Can anyone help on this? Thanks.
BTW, I might decide to try DSCv2.3 (perhaps starts off with DSCv1.0, before upgrading) or Streak MIUI 2.4.20.
Any advice on those? Thanks.
XDA Developers - Kernel & Baseband Difference
The search engine is your friend. Learn how to use it please. In the meantime, I recommend either DSC or Traveller DSC. Read the instructions in the first posts of each thread and you should be good.
Thanks you for the encouragement, suggestions and instruction.
use dsc 2.3
it has rooted rom with phoenix kernel wilhich would allow you to overclock your device using any app :thumbup:
