Does anyone know when the official release of 2.1 or 2.2 is coming out for the Streak. This would be for the USA version. Thank you.
2.2 supposedly pushed to Jan 2011...
As for 2.1, just use the leaked one from O2...works fine.
Then go on 2.2 Beta by Stephen Hyde. Works perfectly.

Thank you for letting me know.
How do you know it was pushed back to Jan?

When you say works perfectly you mean 90% there right ?
For me 99%
But its more than worth even if it were less than 90%
99% is pretty accurate... I have no problem with any of the apps I'm using. Worst case scenario you go back to 2.1 by simply flashing Update.pkg. its perfect! !!

What about the known reboot bug and the wifi 3g bug ?
Some users are reporting excessive dattery drain issues
How often are you effected ?
Just asking coz my streak is my primary phone
Well mine hasn't rebooted except when I've told it to. The wifi/3g bug was solved by putting APN's back and a tweak to build.prop and my battery drain has been the same as the 2.1. In fact since I saw people posting 2.2 was power hungry, I optimized it a bit and now its better than 2.1 was.
Saw this a few days ago from Lionelatdell.
Latest information I have for US #dellstreak and Froyo is by the end of the year. When I have more details to share, I will. Thu 07 Oct 2010 06:12:49 PM EST via Seesmic Desktop...

Can you point me to a howto tweak the build.prop, noob here
the later built (beta 1) - the one that's current at the time of writing apparently has debug code removed that was using power unnecessarily in the first build.
A weird thing but I noticed that people who used the lower lcd density setting were complaining about the power drain and those who used the default lcd density didn't.
So I edited my build.prop to set it to the old default of 160 to see what happened.
I edited my build.prop file using 'root explorer' which is in the market place. Its a paid app, but just makes it easier to play with the build.prop without having to use adb and push stuff onto the sd card and so on. You can just edit it in place.
You can just go to the system folder, open the folder and press the mount r/w button
click and hold on the build.prop' file and then select edit with text editor
find the line ending with lcd=140 and change it to lcd=160 and then menu button and select save and close. Then press the moun r/o button exit the application and reboot. It makes the icons larger again.
If you are having battery life problems I would recommend 'juice defender' when you aren't using the phone it turns of unnecessary services and turns on the data connection for one minute every 15 minutes ( or whatever you set it to) and switches off the wifi if its not being used.
Also removing the facebook widget helps as that seems to stop the streak sleeping properly.
Yesterday I had 37% battery left after 23 hours - albeit light use and I was asleep for 10 of them! Sadly I then flashed the latest build so I have no idea how long it would have gone on for - certainly another 8 hours whilst I was sleeping.

are you having issues with the hotspot feature ? i can't active mine
I replied in your main thread - Steve is aware of it but its not a priority as there are a couple of free ones on the market that do work.
Can someone get past the fact they successfully loaded 2.2 and tell all those on 318,319,322 the following
Is mobile hot spot and tethering intact?
do you have the unknown sources options in applications?
what version of swipe is loaded?
better camera app and pictures?
what are the art bloat apps?
how is battery life?
are there added options for vibration control or font change?
thanks

Did not no there were update from 318
Were did you find update past 318?
Also you are right everyone is so ecstatic about 2.2 they never tell us the difference between AT&T and build 318.
I can't even have my browser update my phone, I think it's because I rooted it to base 00.
im interested in answers for this too. anyone want to download the 340 build 14844 rom and let us know?
Mobile hotspot requires a tethering contract, or it won't work.
EasyTether appears to no longer work.
We now know why this update took so long, they spent all that time crippling the system to make a buck for themselves.
has anyone tried the QDL tool with the update?

Ok, I finally got the att 2.2 loaded. It took forever. had to downgrade all the way down to 1.6. Here's the answers to some of the questions I have seen asked:
-Baseband ver GAUSB1A134031-US
-KERNEL VER 2.6.32.9-perf
-Build 14844
-No bloatware
-No tethering or wifi hotspot.
-Super one click 1.7 rooted it.
-Its Fast. REALLY FAST.
-Is it possible that the camera app got worse? Definitely not an improvement.
-Swipe 2.8.80.12867
-The phone app has some slight tweaks.
-the email program is much improved. nice tweaks. It has a combined inbox. Did the other version have that? I mostly used k-9 because it is a lot better. Still no multi-touch pinch to zoom.
-DID I SAY IT WAS FAST? CAUSE ITS FAST. I MEAN STREAK DROID FAST. NO LAGS.
I’ll need a couple of days to decide if its worth it.
finally made it to att 2.2
i was on 318 as well had to go all the way back to 1.6 to get it to work.. havent had much time to go through.. but i would definitely agree it is much faster then 318
What's the Quadrant score on 340? Has anyone tried perfmod on it?
Would one of you folks mind pasting the fingerprint from the build.prop? I want to see if I can regain AT&T carrier billing in the market on streakdroid 1.8
Ditto that request.
Would really like to see that ATT installs as the ro.ril.xxxxx statements for setup of the cell system parameters.
According to captivate forum if you delete tethering manger 1.0 with titanium backup you can get around the att tethering verification.
Anyone want to try?

So is K-9 better than the new email client or do you prefer the new email client over K-9?

it would still work without a tethering plan. the only phones att was capable of controlling that on where iphones and blackberrys. windows mobile and android have it build in, but removable. the unlocked version of the att streak does have a setting to turn on tethering. but apparently this version has it turned off, it doesnt take much to do it, verizon does it too, just copy what they do.

Yep I still think so. Pinch to zoom is enabled. It also has the ability to pop up notifications. Its getting closer, though.

Ditto here on everything.
I did try to back it up in streakmod and CWM both failed.
Email was the same. Exchange sync failed for me with it as well. Our server has a self signed ssl. and the accept all does not work.
Looked just like 318 to me with unknown sources missing from settings applications.
Battery life is great
Just wondering, I love the reports of a better battery life but all the other bugs would just get the best of me.
i am running beta 2.3.3 roms and they have no issues for me.
I wish I had waited and just rooted beforehand... now I can't root and it's a buggy phone

Well after reading the community forums at sprint.com and android forums, Ive seen people getting different results/bugs such as:
-Netflix stopped working(posted on this forum)
-Other Misc applications not functioning
-Shortcut icons appearing default with no detail
-Voicemail notification continuously appearing with no voicemails
-GPS Icon appearing even when the GPS is turned off
-Text messages taking longer to send
-Calls not connecting
Im sure there is more but these are the ones that caught my eye.
So thats why I was waiting to make sure there isnt another update to fix some of these issues.
Not having Netflix after getting a taste sucks the most
I can say that my gps icon is on and it shows off on the top. Text messages show a number when there are none. Great I updated and now I cant root.
I waiting until the bugs are fixed,
Not updating till then.
Waiting on root also

Or until Synergy is finally released.
O wow, actually just replaced my evo through sprint. they sent me a brand new one, in an envelope(no accesories) thank god I have been living with a buggy refurb for almost a year.
Only problem is it is preloaded with 2.3!?!?!? the sprint rep said it was funny also 2 other customers received brand new ones, thats unheard of from sprint IMO
maybe they want to make everyone on 2.3 because so many using the wifi hotspots...idk
so I would have redone the universal root method like I did before hand, but read here first ......so no go on universal root?

It's called "gaining knowledge, keeping informed, and keeping the options open". Some people, do not necessarily wish to modify every device they use, at every single opportunity. Since discovering XDA, I have had 6 or 7 different devices, and though I have not flashed a custom ROM to each one of them, I've done a couple. Flashing or not, this entire forum has helped me in some form with each device.

Seriously, I guess you'd have to ask yourself, "how did I find out about XDA?", in order to answer that. At one time, everyone on these forums was a stock user. The second part of your question is answered above.

I was running Mik 1.3 for a few days and upgraded to 1.4 yesterday. From the above, only two apply on this rom: The Netflix & the GPS icon. The GPS works, but in my case, it appears as off whether I have it on or off. The NetFlix problem is an issue that NetFlix is working on and not a "bug" of GB. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that somewhere on here when the problem first came up.
Having 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1 grealy outweight those two bugs for me. Out of all the 2.3.3 roms I've tried, this one has been my favorite by a long shot. You just have to set up the phone properly. It took me a good couple of hours to format the SD card and upgrade the ext3, transfer all the files back and forth from the SD card, restoring all my apps and reorganizing my phone, etc.
Well worth it, IMO.
The only issue I have noticed is my Exchange inbox icon sometimes shows that I have a new/unread email when I don't. Besides that, everything is working faster and smoother. The battery life improvement is by far the most dramatic change, imo. One more thing that I personally like is the message received notification toggle is now the first option under message settings...def makes shutting off the notifications faster, which is good when you need to hide new texts from the gf
Hi all,
I know everyone is working really hard on the ICS source for the S2 but from what I've experienced so far its not worth moving on from 2.3.6. I know this is all testing/dev work and things aren't going to run to smoothly but I dont seem to be able to get a stable ROM that works for all the below, at least one of them doesnt work or crashes all the time (I seem to find I'm CWM backup'ing/restoring and titanium apps all the time and restoring ROMS instead of using the phone lol):
- USB utilities - crashes when trying to use it
- GPS doesnt work to well - even with the agps patch applied
- MMS/3G signal doesnt work
- Nova launcher on most crash
- Messaging stops working from the dock - so you have to clear the data to re apply launcher settings
- some other stuff I cant think of right now
If I can put a tick in the box for all of the above I would be a happy man til then I'm sticking to 2.3.6 ROM's (Not moaning, just thought I would put it out there and see what everyone elses thoughts are) :-D

Just realized what i said...Anyway so many threads out there already regarding ICS just post in there regarding making a new thread. You only get people coming down your thread just cause you opened a new thread on a topic that is already kinda getting boring with all the crap everyday you read on here and people opening so many threads when you could just post in the ones that are already created..
thats what you get when you use a beta version. post the same in existing threads, and do read before posting another thread.
I was actually not going for.ics myself due to what I was reading... but couldn't resist anymore and have been on Darkys (Ficeto) LPB for 2 days now... I'm actually quite happy and surprised by the performance and ESP battery life... probably not.going to switch back to the bread...!

I agree. I have been trying about 5 versions of custom roms with ICS which all users would say are very good but I was very disappointed in performance, and sometimes it would freeze.
ICS.....not yet released!
Be patient now.
U guys need to do a full wipe even if the ROM says no wipe. Otherwise you will definitely get issues. I was having some before I did a full wipe. After the Wipe did a fresh install of a Custom ROM and now its awesome. Definitely can't go back to GB now

A huge squadron of super-developers are rushing your way, sir. Their mission is to make ICS work for you... TODAY. Your words are praised, and wishes are their commands, to fulfill your every need. Please, stay put, and wait for them with cookies and milk.
I agree, don't think I will use it till either samsung release it, or sammobile release a proper rom leak that samsung will later release.
Just beta versions at the moment, rather disappointing.
CM9 is supposed to be nice, but I hear too many things not working, & will they never add fm radio support?

LPB (Stock rooted) has behaved extremely stable so far, in fact the modem seems to more stable in comparison to GB.
Which rom you tried and did you wipe before flashing? LPB is not perfect (after all it´s a leaked beta) but it is more than usable as daily driver

I shouldnt do this cause my mates friends uncle will kill me but.
Ive got hold of a fully working release of ics that samsung will roll out the only reason they arnt is cause they are waiting to time it for the sgs 3 release, they want to encourage people to upgrade to that and then once thats sold well will offer this upgrade for the sgs2.
There have however been reports of phones being bricked due to a time stamp in the kernel stopping the kernel from running before a given date.
So I repeat this ROM will brick your phone
flash in odin as normal

Totally out of left field: dell released a new rom for softbank.
The changelog does not seem to state much.
Android 2.2.2
Build date: Jul 10, 2012
Build: 29579
Dell Stage 1.6
The rom is completely identical to 366 except for the following files:
<root>\boot.img
<root>\amss.mbn
<root>\dbl.mbn
<root>\dsp1.mbn
<root>\osbl.mbn
<root>\system\build.prop
<root>\system\app\quickoffice.apk
Out of all those, only boot.img seems to have changed more then just being resigned/trivial changes.
Dell normally holds a rom for 1 month to test before releasing, but the normal release date for a rom built in july would be mid/late august.
So for whatever reasons: they held it back for a month.
It also only includes a trivial amount of changes, so it's not much more then going though the motions of a release
I received the update SMS today and came here to check. Figured you would have some additional info on this.
Still Froyo? I guess I'm never getting a phone from Softbank again.
Blame Dell/Qisda's dell team/Softbank
The SPro's still on GB too.
The Lenovo LePad S2005 (ie the "Opus one") got ICS back in April.
I dont even know why they released 369, I cant tell if it even changed anything as far as softbank's changelog is concerned.

maybe the user or the dev is old school type .. and pretty much on comfort zone...
Official roms arnt custom roms, they cant simply release it and hope there's no serious issues. They have to have staff on hand to test for 3 weeks before releasing.
Even if they only changed like a dozen lines of code at best for it.

The package is supposed to fix Wifi issues with access points.
Package name is streak_29579_12.pkg
Has anyone tried this?

I currently sport the Dell official 360 rom and I was wondering if it was worth the bother of udating to this one? has anyone given it a go and does it work?
Any pointers would be appreciated! Also interested in whether it requires a complete reset or if it upgrades leaving data/apps in place? :fingers-crossed:

Any time you flash a DELL update.pkg it's going to do a factory reset.
TheManii may put together a zip package for it though

rom: 2.5 gb
are we going to get an official ics as we had before from olleh an official gb ??
2.5gb is 500mb nand + 2gb innerSD.
I dont expect them to ever make official ICS.
Even 2.3.5+ isnt something I'd expect.

Oakc 2.2.2 ?

Has anyone installed this yet? Does it improve wifi performance and is it ok in the UK? I hate being the first at these things!!
Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet. I installed an sms app from the market and it works ok, apart from mms

I tried to install it but was not able to find in the wireless settings the tethering & portable hotspot, does anyone also encountered this?

The MMS issue I was having was me being an idiot - I had run out of credit I have never used Wifi Hotspot. There is an app that comes rolled into this rom which seems to be for tethering but i have not used it. The WiFi in general is excellent and seem way more stable that any other ROM I've used to date (and I've used quite a few). I think it may be easier to look up a 3rd party (barnacle I think) tool to get the tethering working - but I know very little about this.

Regarding the mms.apk can we replace that softbank mms.apk with that of mms.apk from stock 360 rom

I've been using it for a while and generally all is good. It seems better on battery than the 360 rom, the WiFi seems more stable, though I do get the odd issue with it not connecting but far less than any other rom I've used. I do not use tethering and I know that is not present, but there are apps in the market to do this anyway. SuperUser.zip also happily rooted it with no issues. It does seem to be quicker than other Froyo roms too - so overall I'd say it's worth an upgrade. Be aware that the native messaging app will not work on it for some reason, but Handsent or Go SMS are just fine and dandy - unless you run out of credit (see earlier post by me)
If I had to stick to a single rom this would be the one. I am tempted to go for DSC and I've been told by the author that it can be flashed over this rom - so I may report back when 1.6 is rolled out fully and I've installed it to give a comparison.
I hope this helps!
I've looked and haven't found any links for what I'm looking for which is just the amss and dsp1 files to flash in fastboot... anybody got those uploaded anywhere? I hate to flash the entire ROM just to extract those two, but if I have to then I just have to... thanks guys for any help
