I am not a tech guy but this is what I usually do and do not encounter any problem using Streakdroid ROMs since I started using them from 1.6.0 to 1.8.1. if you are coming from stock 2.2 all you need to flash is the recovery.img (Streakmod recovery.img v 3.2.6 or v 3.2 ) so that you can flash DJ Steve's ROM on your Streak. You can not flash Streakdroid ROMs using other recovery images. Normally if you came from stock 2.2 they say that you no longer need to flash the amss.mbn (I think it is for baseband upgrade to 318) but I still do flash it to be sure. By the way, what baseband are you using? 318? If not, maybe that is what is causing the problem such as flashing lead lights etc. because of baseband mismatch. Also I would recommend to stay at 160 density, most Streaks encounter problem when changing density (as what I have discovered from reading different threads/post), I usually limit myself to 3 items on my install.txt whenever I use DJ Steve's ROMs, and I would advise for you to do factory reset after a complete boot of the ROM you recently installed, it usually fixes all the force closures of applications. I also clear my Dalvik Cache whenever I install a new ROM.

It would help if you could elaborate on what problems you are having. That way, it would easier to determine if it is the Rom version, app related, or install.

Give me like 5 min to get to a computer to type it all its faster then on my phone for me to type

ok first i started off wit the qdl tool to get to the android 2.2 wit baseband 318 i ran with it for a little bit and then i rooted and flashed clockworkmod and installed DJ steves 1.7.1....used that for about a month then dj steve came out wit 1.8 i downloaded and installed that through clockwork then like 2 days later installed 1.8.1. my main issues wit this was i was gettin alot of lock ups in games so i flashed the new kernal with the vol boost and fix for most gameloft games......still didnt help with the problems i was having with the games....
well yesterday under advisement from another user on XDA i did a factory reset....wow what a mistake....now during phone calls the phone app tries to force shut....im ok as long as i dont click the button on the screen to close it but i mean why should i have to....also tryin to get into the market freezes up my phone sometimes and forces restart...alot of that today and last night (restarts).....
in my install.txt i have the following
volnoppt
us140
i had to take the tabmail out....which i wasnt able to even try cause it kept forcing shut when i had that installed....idk if like i said i was supposed to flash other things...im not computer illiterate and i go to school for computer programming and analysis but im stumped on this....
also now that people have gotten 345 on their phones do people notice less crashes and are the games able to work correctly....i bought this phone for its 5 inch screen and im a strong gameplayer...i had a itouch 8gb but i have given that to my girlfriend so now im stuck wit this big ass screen with no capability of playing any games
:-(

Also the wifi if slow as crap I have a 40 mb down speed on my computer

Downloaded 2.2 but cant find flash player in market.

Hi I downloaded the manual update file on my wifes phone. It installed fine but I cannot find the flash player beta 3. Is anybody else having this issue? I tried wiping but that didn't fix the issue.

Its in the phone
You will not find flash in the market as 10.1 is included in the update. go to settings, applications, manage applications, click the "all" tab at the top and its magical froyo goodness (only 52kb to instead of the huge file). your welcome
Just realized that protected apps are not showing. Does anybody know why? I think I'm the only one having issues with 2.2 for evo.

Your right it is included in the install. A little different from the nexus one 2.2

Protected apps aren't working for me either. Here's my list of issues so far:
PRI is still 1.33 instead of 1.40
Protected apps not showing. About 10 of mine, and about half are paid too.
Browser seems to glitch a bit with Flash on, mostly when scrolling. Scrolling is slow and the graphics get kinda messed up.
Other than that, my 2.2 build seems great. Mostly I'd like to fix the PRI and especially fix the Market issue. Does anyone know at least a temporary fix?
Assuming you have the rooted 2.2 Froyo ROM.
Market Fix:

Market should be fixed ;-)

Damn! Just when I think I don't need root for a while, I go and flash something that can only be fixed with root. LOL. Oh well, as long as its not the PRI issue, this won't be a problem for too long.

Restoring backups and 2.2 ROMS

I have run into a couple problems. When restoring a backup through clockwork all three times I have tried it, it gets stuck on the vibrant screen and soft bricks. I ten have to Odin back to jfd. What am I doing wrong?
Also I have tried three 2.2 Roms and loved them all. The only problem with them is that they all are incompatibale with the game I play most. Its a problem with the android id, and jk2 and jk6 not changing them, therefore everyone has the same I'd if that makes sense. The game is world war. Has anyone gotten this to work using the leaked jk6?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
restoring doesn't change the kernel so you have to flash a 2.1 kernel after running your restore.
Thanks. Anyone get world war to work on one of the 2.2 ROMS?

[Q] Crash on all custom roms

Hi everyone,
I recently acquired an X10 and first thing to do was, of course, upgrade to froyo. Although, frustratingly I am not having any luck with any custom roms. All present the same problem: the phone boots to launcher, will stay on for 3/4 seconds and then crashes and reboots. I've followed instructions accordingly and made sure to have the correct baseband but to my demise, still no luck.
Is this a common problem with this phone? Anyone know anything that I can try? I'm ripping out my hair here, and getting very fed up with this phone!!
Most reboot once or twice upon launch but then its fine. U need to be patient
Sent from my x10 on gingerbread
I waited as you suggested but it just keeps on rebooting countless times until the battery eventually ran out. Could it be a hardware problem of some sort?
Thats a tipical problemwhen you got the wrong baseband instaled.
Flash the correct baseband for the ROM you are trying to use.
Do a clean flash with seus, then use flashtool to root and xrec. Or try to flash a plain baseband file from the collection, also afterwards clean dalvik cache.

The SE update (stock) rom is BB 54. I tried Achotjan rom on bb 54 and same problems. I also tried TWlauncher Ultima 4 flashed on BB 52 and still had the same problems. This may be a silly question but is there a suggested BB to use? Is a higher BB better than a lower one? I didn't have this much problem flashing my Milestone
Hey man the rom tells you which baseband is best. Read the instructions. If you have the same problem. Then boot into recovery and flash cobratos baseband patch

[INFO] Reduce / Eliminate FCs (and perhaps reboots)

For those of you who are having FC's or reboot problems, I recommend trying this (on all roms):
clear cache / DC 3x
flash the rom form the sd card
immediately flash the rom again
Do all of this without rebooting. What ive noticed a LOT is that I often get curious issues with roms, and then I flash them again and dont get those issues anymore (--or, I get a different set of curious issues). Since i do everything else the same, it seems that it must have been the flash that was problematic. just as we have grown accustomed to wipe data multiple times to ensure a successful clear, we should also become accustomed to flashing (especially for larger files more prone to exhibiting problems) multiple times to ensure a clean and successful write.
I know there was a GB ram leakage problem with EG22/EH06 which was causing reboots, but even with these roms you shouldnt be experiencing FC's right out of the box. A lot of people have claimed to run EH17 without any reboots (or FCs) so you too should be able to experience it. Good luck all.
PS - If you have Journaling OFF, make sure your phone doesn't die due to lack of power! Keep it charged. Four times so far I've been thrown into the chaos of "The application Google services Framework has stopped unexpectedly," due to letting un-journaled phones die. Now, I just keep it on for data safety / integrity.
First. Good tip.
you'll probably get flamed for posting this in development though.

thank god lol
I brought the lighters, let's getm,,,,, oh, well damn, good tip man.
You know I have never had to flash anything twice and things go pretty well with my flashes for the most part but I do one thing that isn't usually mentioned. After I do all the wipes 3x (data cache dalvik) I go into mounts and storage and I format data cache and system. The data and cache obviously have already been formatted but none of the wipes ever touch system. The ROM script must do that I guess, but I figure why not play it safe and personally clean all the file systems... Works for me.

thanx for the tip man.....will try next time I flash a new ROM
this is what i did after seeingit in a post and mines is runnign goood so far ...question how do u know if journaling is on or off
great tip.. im about to try it RIGHT NOW.. I have wiped and reinstalled roms for the past 2 days now.. because I keep getting reboots and force closes.. even before I try to install any new apps.. im now on a rooted stock deodexed EG22.. that I just flashed about 2 hours ago.. I will now try a custom rom and fash twice and see how it works out for me..
This sounded interesting so I broke my vow not to flash gingerbread again until it was released. I decided to do everything differently than I had in all the previous installs and follow the OPs directions. I'm running EC05 rooted with CWM, so I downloaded the stock odex EH17 zip, followed the clearing suggestions in this post, and flashed EH17 in CWM. Flashed it twice as suggested. Flashed SU, and rebooted.
Long story short, after about 90 minutes it rebooted on its own.
Glad I made a nandroid backup before I started this, because I'm back on stock EC05 rooted again.
all gb roms will have fc's; this is just a procedure to make sure that the fc's you Do experience are caused by errors in the rom's programming as opposed to flashing errors =]
i too am on rking's ec05

I can also assure everyone, turning your head to the right, while flashing, improves the data connection speeds with any GB modem.

I had great success with EH17 using the Tegrak config along with the EH17Plus Kernel. Also, I found that the only time I did get a reboot was when I was using the hotspot or wireless tether. But it only happened when the phone got hot and was NOT on the charger. No reboots at all when tethering if I had the phone plugged into the charger, or during any other usage. I recently went back to EC05 to use the SRF1.2 ROM. EH17's modem was a lot faster too, imo. Going back when more ROMs become available.
Also, I tried Hurricane but got fc's. I'll try it again with the doube flash. I liked it otherwise. Now that I think about it, I was flashing modems and started getting fc's on SRF1.2. But none after I flashed it again (double). So this may be the trick if you're having fc's.

Help with RandomROM Thunderhawk 3.3

Okay folks, if somebody could bring my issue to the attention of anybody who knows what to do about it I would appreciate it.
My issue is twofold:
1)I'm still getting random reboots with RandomROM Thunderhawk 3.3 despite the posting on the thread that says (NO MORE REBOOTS) Is there anything that can be done about this?
2)I checked my baseband version and the modem is still EC05, is there a way to flash or ODIN an EI22 modem for this ROM without getting a black screen when the icons should come up? Could this also be what's causing the reboots?
Thanks for anybody's help that is willing to give it.
Are you using a custom theme? And you have to flash the stickied modem delta. If you are using a theme, I would blame that.
Sent from my ICS NookColor using Tapatalk
I was using thunderhawk too and I had some reboots but onlyyyyy on the lockmod version. When I flashed the regular one I had no problems at all
And for basband I would probably try this
Nandroid backup
Flash "ec05 to ei22" its somewhere in the development section I believe
Reboot
If that doesn't work then a fresh new start is what I would Recommend
Odin back to stock
Root
Install cwm
Flash "eco5 to ei22" modem
Flash thunderhawk 3.3 (without lockmod if you could live without it)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I got the EI22 modem here and flashed it in CWM and it worked well. Only problem I had with thunderhawk is the lockscreen mod, and I'm having data issues on wifi after the phone's been on a while.
I was ec05 but when I flashed the Thunderhawk and it changed to ei22. never had a problem. Got a wild hair up my butt to flash the shadow kernal 1.0.6. Never been happier. no reboots, wifi works perfect, and very responsive. running a live wall paper and still get awesome battery life. give it a try
I saw several posts from folks having some wifi-4g interaction problems...switching back and forth causing one or the other to fail...is that a common problem to all 3.3 users, or are most people not seeing it? I want to give this a try, but I use 4g (at work) and wifi (home) everyday, so I'd like to see how common that issue is. I'm currently on Mostly-stock with Nubernel's latest released kernel...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
So...bummer. I guess I answered my own question...I installed Thunderhead 3.4.3 and sure enough... I have wifi and 4g problems. Seems like going back and forth between the two causes issues...had it fail going both ways today. On a positive...man, that ROM seems pretty nice and his new install process rocks...was seamless going from Mostly Stock...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You could always try a clean install with doing a factory data reset in CWM and wiping Dalvik, flash ROM, check to see if stuff works, then do an advanced data restore from your last nandroid. If you stll have problems then the best bet is to set everything up fresh after the clean install.

The deal with the wifi/4g issue is that 4g will show 0.0.0.0 for ip, baseband, and dns if used after wifi in most cases. This is on official releases of 3.3 and newer. If you turn off wifi, reboot, then turn on 4g it should work. This is oviously annoying. Random provided me with alpha builds of 3.4 and 4.0, and the issue was squashed for me. However, the issue still persists in 3.4.3 official release according to some reports. I have limited access to 4g and can only test on certain days.
Thunderhawk is in a transitional period right now, and 3.4.5 should be released today. Random is hopeful this might solve some issues, including the dialer issues some are reporting with the 3.4 official builds. After that his focus will be on 4.0, which is EL30 based. Consider anything from 3.4 on a beta, and only run it if you want to help find bugs. Obviously you don't mind reporting or I wouldn't be replying lol. Just follow the threads and wait untill it looks stable enough for your usage needs.

Thanks! I certainly wasn't busting on Random's work...and I know he has limited access to 4g for testing, so that makes it harder for him to verify these things. So
I absolutely saw what you describe going from wifi to 4g. Going from
4g to wifi, I had wifi that wouldn't turn on at all (error when trying to enable), and, like you and others have mentioned, a reboot resolved both cases. I will hang out and see if he pushes out a fix soon, and just eagerly await 4.0. If it gets too annoying, I'll restore to my
Mostly Stock... Hmmm... Is there an issue restoring an rfs backup if I am now on ext4? Heh...

And...confirming...the wifi/4g issue persists. 4g ip address is messed up on the first connect after being on wifi...reboot resolves.
