Streakdroid 1.7
erm, cos it's awesome?

StreakDroid 1.6.0 because it is stable.
I haven't found a compelling reason to upgrade or perfmod. Gameloft games work with 1.6.0. I was stuck on 1.4.6 until 1.6.0 and do miss the "rear door check" being disabled. Many tweaks can be done without flashing.

v1.7 w/perfmod and 180 LCD density
anyone else have the "this file is audio only" in stock Movies Player?
anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

froyo 2.2 firmware 318-EU

1.7. It has been the best of Steve's bunch for me. No issues at all.

so far a lot of you are on the official ROMS, impressive if you ask me. im on 1.6.1 as it seemed more stable to me, i couldnt change my keyboards on 1.7, or change the brightness like i used to, so i downgraded.

I stayed on 1.6.1 because its stable. 1.7 doesnt support FFC for Fring and I use it a lot with my girfriend. I think I'll stick to this ROM till the great Dj_Steve comes up with Honeycomb.

Steve's 1.7.. its perfect!

I probably will upgrade when I get the confidence! Just really scared of upgrading and bricking the device. Compared to Touch Pro on WM - I remember upgrading to custom rom on the very first evening! I suppose this is partly because there was more room for WM to be improved on. I am very happy with Android tbh.
Would be really nice to use Honeycomb on this device, but somehow I think it's going to be challenging. I have heard a lot about DJ Steve's achievements, but...let's wait and see and support him however we can.
Another thing - I cannot find any screen shots of roms available - so less tempting to upgrade I think. If the designs were shown-off a bit better, I suppose I would do the leap of faith and upgrade

Current status
Currently running 1.4.6
reasons for this :-
tried 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0, 1.6.1 had issues with all trying to use gps.
1.4.6 seems to have best battery of all.
Have checked what 3rd part apps & widgets have been installed as well and even with minimal installed 1.4.6 seems best

Just got my Streak with 2.2 installed...

Traded my iPhone 4 for a Streak and it came with 2.2 What steps do I have to take to go to StreakDroid FroYo v1.5.1? Thanks.
This is your first Android phone, right? It was mine too. If you're already at 2.2, play with the apps there for a couple of days while you figure out how to upgrade. That way you will have a list of apps that you want to have on your final firmware.
There's very good threads about how to upgrade. You may brick your phone (or at least think you did) but keep working on it. I've found solutions for everything I needed already discussed on the board.

IMO, the 2.2 stock is better with the performance tweaks. I havent had any problems since being on 318

Nope. I was on the HTC G1 for quite a bit and then moved on to HTC Legend and then the iPhone 4. I do know my way around Andriod quite a bit actually. Just havent been up to date. Most of the guides I saw are for 1.6 to custom rom. I dont know what I must be doing since I am already on 2.2 stock.

Your phone showing up with stock 2.2 is pretty sweet. I had to dump 318 since I think DJ_Steve's 1.5.1 is better, but there's still some things like the camera that are weak.

I'm in Singapore and the phone was just released about a week or 2 ago
I still cant get the front cam to work though. In the Camera app, I can only see the tab to change to Video mode. No switch for the front cam.
Mines also came with stock 2.2 build and unlocked for T-Mobile. I just flashed djsteves froyo build and IMHO, it runs a lot smoother and faster than stock build

My streak died on me... I couldnt get signal and and i saw that the Airplane mode was enabled. So I tried to disable it but it wouldnt. So rebooted and tried again. Same problem. Decided to do a factory reset.
And then it got stuck with the Dell logo. So I am trying to flash DJ_Steve's rom over now. Hope it boots.

[Q] New Epic, what to do?

Ok, So I just switched from the Evo over to my Samsung Epic and Not sure if i made the right move. Not a fan of Eclair(android 2.1) and I have not heard good news about the leaked 2.2 for the epic. I'm wondering whats an ideal setup on the epics. Do I upgrade to the leaked 2.2 and get a nice rom?(viperrom looks pretty decent) or do i stick with 2.1 and get a nice rom on that end?those who have a favorite tell me why and let me know some of the pros n cons.
P.S Hi new to forum
I would pick a nice 2.1 rom and wait for official Froyo to launch. There are some bugs with DK28 that are annoying as hell when they occur. None of the things that DK28 fixes are absolutely necessary, such as the much improved GPS. GPS still functions on 2.1, just not nearly as well as on Froyo.
You're kidding, right? GPS sucks on Froyo.

Just sucessfully rooted my phone and now I'm thinking on which ROM to flash to. Probably going to take your advice and stick with 2.1 for now also. Have you tried SyndicateROM? I didn't see very many options for Roms in 2.1 and found this to be only plausible option was wondering if you have tried it and what did you think?(if you have)

I ran syndicaterom for a while. It was very stable and nice. You can also pick a kernel to use in conjunction with whatever rom you use. Stock kernel is very stable obviously, but if you have concerns about battery life or something like that, or feel a need to overclock, there are kernels available that offer that. SyndiateRom comes with the Xtreme kernel if you flash the "Full" release, if I am remembering correctly. It is a very good all around kernel, although Phoenix 1.43 was always the best with regards to battery life for me.

Odin to dk28, one click root, then install bonsai rom and optionally install a theme.
With this setup my GPS works better than it has for any other phone (lock in 5-10 seconds). Flash works, and the system flies. Not many cons that I'm aware of.
Cough cough.. bakedsnackshack.com
cd's or tapes?
Yeah I was running baked snack for a while with his kernal. Very very smooth and great battery. In the end I flashed froyo and I don't have any issues at all I would realy recommend trying it if you aren't a fan of 2.1.

Mine is spot on....running EXT4 and custom ROM
If you want working GPS and Flash support in the browser go with a leaked DK28 ROM (ViperROM w/ EXT4 is my personal favorite). GPS is better than ever on Froyo - it actually works now! Extremely well at that... There is a process for going to DK28 and making the GPS happy, as long as you follow that process you'll be in great shape. I really can't think of a reason to be on DI18, unless you need to go into a Sprint store for some reason.

Still overwhelmed, but I like your site's instructions, very thorough, thumbs up for that tip, I still am on stock rooted, but one of these days....at least this site is thorough...
I agree 2.2 is the way to go. The most of the problems on froyo can be pinpointed to a problem installing it. I've flashed froyo plenty of times and if you can get the gps steps down everything should be just fine. if your staying on eclair the overclocked syndicate rom is a beast.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I vote 2.2, I have it and haven't looked back. Its luck of the draw. Some get more bugs then others. I lucked out I guess.
Another vote for 2.2 here. My ROM recommendation is Quantum, it's well-supported and its developer is on top of his game. Some other ROMs include a lot of... gimmicks. Yeah, we'll go with gimmicks. (It slices, it dices, it automagically makes your internets faster!)
In any case, there's no real reason for Android 2.1. The leaked FroYo is stable at this point. If you're getting force closes then it probably means something went wrong during flash. If you can follow instructions then it's not difficult.

RealRed

Working on a custom rom that will be fully skinned in red to match the red streak. All aspects of the rom will be altered with new graphics and tweaks.
I am currently looking into adding.. yes adding.. two new features to stock roms and this one.
anyone interested in assisting with this please PM, I am looking for someone who is familiar with multiple roms and has a good knowledge of xml.
thanks.. please stay tuned.
*********UPDATE************
Rom coming in the next day or two... Have to iron out some bugs. Here are some screenshots.

I would be happy to try and offer some assistance, I have a bit of experience with cooking winmo and android, including porting etc, and have recently built an alpha build for my streak.
Let me know if I can help
Jumped over a major hurdle... should be releasing the rom as a beta in the next day or two... Gotta run with tonights fixes for tomorrow and make sure there are no bugs.
thanks
Wow! A new rom! That's nice! Would there be an option to turn it into black color instead of red?
I am going to release a plain rom first in the next day or two. And will rebuild realred from it

What advantages are there to using 354 as the base over 351? Since 354 is customized for the Hong Kong market isn't 351 more flexible? Doesn't 351 include better language support?
Is the kernel different in 354?
Just because it was released after 351 doesn't mean that includes improvements, in fact 353 (last AT&T rom) was released after 351 and it isn't Android 2.2.2, it's 2.2.
So - I am wondering what is different or better about 354 over 351?
Will Netflix work? So far, I've only been able to get Netflix to work on Steve's 1.9.0. Even the 1.9.1 betas have broken Netflix for me.
a rom is a total image of the phone. Mine will be based on 354. There will be no aspects of 351 in the image. The first rom i release will be an optimized version of 354 with tweaks. Once that is completed, I will build upon that.
I am one of those people where when I learn something new i like to practice it a few times so it becomes memory. I want to perfect what I am doing so there are no issues for users.
Yesterdays test went really well btw. Things are looking good

Is Streakdroid 2.3 stable / working

Hi,
Streakdroid 1.9 has started to crash and go into a bootloop now I so I think it's about time I changed as this has happened before. My options are:
SimpleStreak
Streakdroid 2.3
My question is, is Streakdroid 2.3 stable enough to be used by someone who needs the phone fully working.
I don't want to bither the guys in the thread so thought I would ask here.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Its stable enough. Read through the thread to get a better understanding.
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
I was going to ask a similar question as at the moment I'm not had much luck. While it has been responsive and nice and quick, this morning I've have it crash loads. Along with a number of other ROMs that I have tried I don't seem to be having much luck.
Has anyone got more experience of maybe a older more stable ROM.
If you want stability go with stock 351 or 360.
SimpleStreak and Streakin' 354 have had the best reports of stability IMO. I have not used them, this is based on reading the threads - like you should do.
GingerStreak is still in development and some stuff does not work. So it would be usable only if you don't need the functions that are not implemented yet. What's your defintion of "fully working"?
Yep I did read through the threads which is why I put on streakdriod, then hit some issues. The others where a bit daunting with 50+ pages of comments to read though to see it was a bit pointless looking at it.
Really just looking for a pointer before I start reading up further.
So cheers what you offered will be a good starter.
I've been using 2.3 for a week now. I've only had one random reboot whilst using the youtube app. Currently it's been up for 3 days without reboot. It's nice to use, quick and also has the gingerbread enhancements.
Give it a try, you might just like it ;-)

Since you are coming from 1.9 and willing to change, I dont know what kernel the SimpleStreak runs on , so I will not comment on that. I can talk a bit about 2.3b2 since I am spending time with it. There you have a pretty stable kernel I can compare it with the stability of the 1.9.1 ( as a kernel ) but the framework of 2.3b2 is less stable so be prepared for surprises. As for the notion of "fully stable" you may need to go back to earlier options that had been around much longer ( and even there you might not find it ).

best froyo experience

this may be outdated/unnecessary but i figured that i'd share / hope others would share too
im still skeptical about moving on to ICS for the vibrant just bc i need a phone that works 100% correctly all the time... so im still on froyo.
currently running bionix fishman mod final2 w/ bali-x @ 1.2ghz
essentially froyo tweaked in many ways w/ the appwidgetpicker
along with the miui camera, s.gps2 for gps fix, setcpu, and bln
is anyone else flashing any additional necessary files when they flash their roms??

Fishman is good. My needs are different. I need a Rom that is atleast 2.2.1. So the capacitive buttons dont blind me on each screen press. I'd recommend ultimate rom or biwinning with the sense or sgs2 theme. I also use Bali undervolt kernel. If you haven't already test out the modems for your area. For instance for me its KB1.

I was on ICS Passion and 100% functionality is a stretch. Browsing through the thread reveals that damn near everyone else has problems too. I have issue with these devs that claim everything works when it's clearly a lie.
I'm using Fishman's 2.2 rom right now. No need to flash any other files for my needs. So far it's been pretty good.

i agree... im still on the fence of flashing an ICS rom but i think ill wait another couple of weeks bc im in no hurry to move on from a 100% functional rom
personally i think the miui camera is essential and am not sure why more people dont flash it over their roms. i use that & the stock hd recorder for a better camera experience

CM9's 16B is so functional that I put it on my Dad's phone, and he says it's running much better than it did before on Bionix. The only issue he and I have been having is the GPS, which never has worked from the beginning for us anyways, and very minor things (like the menu for toggle widgets is called lockscreens or something).
ICS is pretty awesome. You may want to give it a shot... I recommend the Icy Glitch kernel to go with CM9.
Is the official GB available for this yet?

when you say never worked, do you mean it as GPS ideally should? or even to the low standards of how the vibrant's GPS is supposed to work?
personally since everything works 100% as best as it possibly can right now on my vibrant with bionix fishman mod without a hardware gps fix, i'm very reluctant to move onto ICS if the GPS wont even lock within around 30 secs or so like i can get it to do with froyo especially if it is something i need eventually
minor things like menu names i can definitely deal with, but if froyo's GPS works better overall compared to an ICS rom, i see absolutely no reason to make the switch with this phone. if i need ICS that badly, i will get a new phone
