[Q] Longhorn 2.5 ROM - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I've flashed Longhorn 2.5 on my Dell Streak, but the Streak says allways keyboard does not run. And than I click force close. Are there other who have the same problem?
Thanks a lot!
greets hancomp

Yeah i had some problem with the stock Dell keyboard!
Solution -
*Download some other keyboard [I used Perfect Keyboard]
*Put that .apk into Longhorn_2.5.zip\system\app
*Flash your Streak again
*Go to your Settings and activate that keyboard

Did you do a factory reset after installing the ROM? This issue plagued some users of the DSC ROM such as myself and the reset fixed it.

Factory reset doesnt work for this tried already

Will require removal of current version. Please note I am note responsible for any errors that may occur.
The steps that worked for me are as follows:
Remove libswype from system/lib
Remove swype.apk from system/app
Reboot into recovery, clear dalvik.cache.
Install new swype.
Good luck!

Is it safe to clear the dalvik cache if I have voodoo enabled?
I have many times without issue. Just be prepared for longer than usual boot up.

works with the ginger clone. liked this better than the swype that's pre installed on a stock vibrant.
Works perfectly on Axura 2.2.5.9

How can i go back

How can i go back to my original stock 2.2.2 rom on my dell streak? I am currently running StreakDroid 1.9.0 and i don't like it. Can someone please tell me how.
- Thank you!
Yes. I can tell you.
Do a search and read the other posts that have asked the same question.
Yeah I am a mean unhelpful person. But I search and read

Now that you are pissed at me.
Use the multirecovery tool to load the recovery that matches the rom you want. Put the rom on the sd card.
Now flash the recovery and the reboot into it. Then do the update.

But im still back to the StreakDroid 1.9.0 rom.
What rom do you have on the SD card?
What recovery are you installing?

Dev/msm camera controls missing

Please help, I keep on getting a cannot connect to camera error and I found out that my msm camera controls doesnt exist on my dell streak 5... Please help, can somebody post a copy of those control files? Its in dev/msmcamera... Thank you
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
Why not download one of the custom ROMs in development and pull the files you need from there?
Thanks for the advice sir but I already downloaded custom roms and there's no dev/msmcamera controls there... What im looking for is the control0, control1, frame0,frame1 files in msmcamera.. It's all missing..
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
Well, a little more detail is useful. What ROM do you have? Have you tried one of the stock deodexed ROMs (also in Development) to get the files you need?
I don't know how many are still on stock ROMs, which is why I'm mentioning alternatives.
I am using gingerstreak now, I also tried streakdroid and miui.. But the msmcamera files still missing.. I had my dell streak checked and they said the camera is not broken they say there's just a missing driver or somethin. And according the logcat dev/msmcamera/control0 doesnt exist.. And when I go checked it it's not there. Msmcamera folder is empty
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
well.. it is confirm those files are not there at dev/msm_camera for custom rom pcm7 but the camera is working correctly for both front and back... no such thing as can not connect to camera error...
maybe you should clear the data for the camera because if the file is corrupted, those error would popup... and do wipe cache as welll...
or simply install stock 2.2 rom...
Sir, even before I use custom roms those control files from msmcamera is missing... I used to have it when my camera is working.. I already tried clearing the data, factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.. Nothing seems to work.. where do I get the stock 2.2 rom? Is it posible to downgrade? Thanks for the advice..
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
have you tried to install alternative camera application from google play? try that first...
and if you dont know where to get those 2.2 .. hmm.. it seems you have a lot of homework to do...
Also tried using other camera apps from play store but still won't work... Il try to downgrade to 2.2

Best streak rom

Hey guys I'm just wondering which rom for the streak 5 you all consider to be "best" ,smoothest, fastest. I'm using longhorn 2.9.3 and I like it but its also my first so I'm feeling antsy to try a different one.
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
DSC. It's the only Gingerbread ROM, other than stock Olleh, that has a working camera zoom. It's also the only Streak ROM still being maintained.
Yes I was actually just browsing the DSC thread. Can it be easily flashed over longhorn 2.9.3?
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
While this information can be found in the first post of the DSC thread, you have to do two factory resets for a successful install of DSC. One of them is Option 1 in the stock Dell menu you see when you access the recovery. The other is the factory reset option in Streakmod.
Okay, and I have to flash the 1.0 before I can update to the 2.3.3? And do I have yo use pdroid (I've not used it) with DSC.
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
Just flash the v2.0 and then the v2.3 over it.
You don't have to use PDroid, but as there is no con to it and the pro is too damn high, why not use it by choice?
If you choose to, then flash v2.0 first, then the PDroid-patch, then v2.3 for PDroid (not the normal one).
Thanks for that reply ill need to look into pdroid before I use it I don't even know what it is. Ill most likely he flashing tonight. Any tips for DSC?

Edit: After searching the forums i cant find any information on pdroid for streak. could someone link a thread (if there is one) please

scratch the edit i found the app on the playstore..i thought it was something that needed to be flashed...
so i do the "Flash me first" then the 2.0 and the 2.3.3 with pdroid and wipe caches and im done?
putting my ds5 on the charger now will flash shortly
i know i keep spamming my own thread but i dont want to make another thread.
do i need to flash the 2.0 PDroid and the 2.3 PDroid provided in the DSC [intl] thread
The PDroid app can only be used if you have flashed the PDroid Patch.
1. Flash the normal DSC v2.0
2. Flash the PDroid patch for v2.0
3. Flash the DSC v.2.3 for Pdroid users (not the normal one)
4. Install the PDroid app you found in the Play Store
All the Zip-files I just mentioned can be found in the original DSC thread
I don't know when wiping cache is necessary, but wiping before every step you flash something shouldn't be too wrong
Mods can delete this thread.
Thanks for the help guys!

For an update there is only 1 way which is well explained on other threads....
For time being to save your fone from restarting u can do a factory reset and wipe all dalvik cache n all....
This would most probably make your fone more stable.
