Anything Positive?

After reading numurous threads on the 2.2 update, i was wondering if anyone anywhere has anything positive at all to say about it? Or maybe you can point me to a link where somebody somewhere states something positive about this upgrade

yes.
Positively stay away from the stock 2.2 until they fix it
maybe 2.3 will be out soon.

Yeah, already decided that one

stock 2.2 is sorta good. it is froyo, you get all the advantages of it. dell lets it down with some basic settings issues, and the stock launcher sucks. but replace the launcher with adw or launcherpro, enable hardware acceleration, replace kernel with overclocking kernel and overclock, it becomes brilliant. its now the biggest, fastest, and best phone ive ever used.

it is. its a nice easy solution to those who want it. maybe dell wont do so bad when they try to compile a gingerbread rom, but i doubt it, theyll definitely screw it up again.

I actually like stock Froyo, I am using version 315. The only tweak I applied was turning on hardware acceleration. I didn't apply the above mentioned tweaks since I am ok with the speed as is, and I read many people are having WiFi and 3G problems with them. I don't run benchmarks, for me it is fine. Works speedy and fluid, no waits or freeze ups. Perhaps people are having a problem with high end gaming graphics, I am not into that, but videos run great. The only problem I can confirm is the browser redirect issue, I just use Skyfire and Opera Mobile or Opera Mini in those cases.
Steve's ROM is really good, I tried two versions. But he still cannot get a grip on screen rotation, so until that is settled I will stay on the official version. I do use Dell Stage, but only their music and web widgets. For me there is more than enough space on 7 pages of 4x4 icons -- besides, you can also use the ones in the first columns of the adjacent left and right screens that are still showing. So you actually have a 6x4 on the home screen.
Could it be better? Definitely. Is it perfectly usable? My verdict is yes. Let us face it, no matter how you do it, you can never please everybody. Some people will run into real problems -- no ROM will ever be perfect -- and some are just upset that things are not exactly they hoped they would be. I will move up to Steve's ROM when I am convinced that it is a major improvement in performance and functionality. Probably a few more iterations to go.

I've heard about the screen rotation problem, but honestly I don't think I see it, unless I just don't know what I'm looking for? My screen rotates fine, all the way around.
I like the Dell Stage Facebook widget, that is about it. The normal one is to small, I like how it covers basically a whole screen. The home screen is useless, did anyone ever use most recent program in XP even? Dumb feature.

I ran into the screen rotation problem all the time. Screen turned (e.g. landscape to portrait) and just wouldn't turn back, no matter how often I flipped the phone back and forth. Turning screen rotation off and on would get it working again -- but this happened 10 times or so each day, just too much hassle which interfered with using the device.

It may be a long time until 2.3 is (if at all) released, and the "fixed" version of 2.2 could be late Jan 2011.
I recommend upgrading to 315. Its a good refreshing change, and its really not that bad.

are you talking about rotation going in sorta upside down landscape? i had that in the 11548/309 and steves rom, but i havent seen it in 12332/315 yet.

Hey Jack in your opinion is more stable 309 or 315?

How do you turn hardware acceleration on?

http://forum.pocketables.net/showpost.php?p=58530&postcount=12 <- this method is free, its alot easier if you pay for root explorer. basically just change "debug.sf.hw=0" to "debug.sf.hw=1" in /system/build.prop.

I'm running 1.1.1 on my white Streak and it's running very well. Can't wait until my phone is more than 30 days old so I can get it unlocked and run 1.4.6 though
I also ran 1.3 on my old black unlocked Streak and I had no complaints.

Archos 101 and 2.2 starting to dislike even more

The more I use this.. the More i realize that Archos needs some majoy fixes coming soon.. The performance on Android 2.2 is actually pretty bad. I think 2.1 ran better.. I can't do more than 2 tabs at a time in the browser. if I do 3 I get mad lag and freezing and often leads to complete freeze if one has flash on it.. Last night it rebooted twice on me after freezing on simple flash sites like Engadget.. My G1 ran better to be honest. Yea it didn't have flash. but my G1 ran better.
At first I was liking 2.2 and it seemed pretty good. but constantly killing tasks trying to keep performance good is getting old. yea yea 256mb ram. People keep saying this, but the Original Droid runs great compared to this. They have pretty similar hardware.. I sure hope root, and a custom rom comes out soon, that or Archos updates 2.2 and actually ENABLES the JIT Compiler and other things this time. cuz performance is slower on 2.2 than on 2.1
I wanna keep this, but I don't at the same time. lol

From what some people with insider information are saying, there will be an update soon. I think they released froyo because they said they would and not because they thought it was perfect. Still have hope something good is coming. Actually I find that the device runs quite ok even though I have to use the task killer very often.

LauncherPro completely eliminated the response lag for me, and I haven't needed to run a kill since I installed it.
There are only two important settings to optimize performance in the Menu->Preferences. In the General Setting, check "Keep in memory". In the Advanced Settings->Memory Usage Settings, set the 'Memory usage preset' to 'High'.
The device is now faster than it was in 2.1. Archos should be shipping this launcher instead of the default (or properly tune the default launcher).

Agreed I am using ADW Launcher and it is now buttery smooth. - Edit: It completed froze up on me several times since then and I have since removed ADW, it was great for responsiveness and scrolling but it was eating memory like crazy.

i noticed major issues with my archos 28 and 43.the problem was because i installed the Google market from archos fans.its cool and all but i erased it and restored them.they ran near perfect.with market installed i had battery issues and touchscreen issues.if you have market installed and your device is acting up,get rid of market and maybe try again.

I have since swiched to Zeam Launcher and I love the drawer, and have not had to kill any processes yet. I may have found a winner!

Try doing a full wipe and reinstall. I was having charging issues and did the full wipe and it not only fixed my charging issue, but it sped the whole thing up (even w/out z4root) ad its been far more stable too.

It does that for me too. Much faster and smoother after a full wipe. Runs perfect now with very rare issues of freezing... I was having much more issues beforehand, even z4root not rooting (Which might have been because of app2sd).
All my apps are on the tiny 300MB space now...

Yup me too. Ut is really snappy without even being rooted.
Did a quadrant without root - got 860.
Rooted - 1019.
No lag and no issues on my 70.

with the new beta firmware the quadrant result is up for 25 %

Ive got the 101 with 2.2 but Im getting ready to sell it off. Im just not happy with it and even IF custom ROMs and perm rooting happens, the limitation of the app storage and 256 RAM is a killer for me. I thought it would perform ok and for some I guess it does but it isnt living up to me standards.
Maybe the G-Tab or Adam will be better

Yea im not sure what i think anymore. I was loving it for a day or 2.
Ive been running LP n it made scrolling better, but thats all. I feel like overall stock is better.
ive been having even more major problems after writing that post. Now archos tv out, music, and video widgets all crash on startup and FC if i try to open them. It has froze completely 4 times tonight. Restarted 3 on its own. Browser cant handle more than 2 tabs.. i just wiped my device back to stock once again. For now things seem pretty good. Ill give it a few days stock n see. But been smooth the last hour or so
Im seriously considering selling it and getting a like new Galaxy Tab. The G was decent, and the N Ink is unproven n not even shown its hardware in a while.. but i have high hopes. Well see. I do agree froyo was not ready n needs some serious work. Archos needs a update asap

Great news! Hopefully it is working at least as good as the 1.0.84 (no SMB and WPA2 wifi issues)

Issues keeping me from loving it (I think these are all pretty common):
No access to the files on my WHS except via UPnP (SMB Folder Empty issue)
Graphical lock no longer shows green lines (it does unlock though)
WIFI occasionally quits until I stop/restart it
Flash is slower than dirt and causes Dolphin HD to FC a lot (I ended up uninstalling flash)
General lagginess unless I constantly kill tasks

WHS seems to have an authorisation problem, as with every linux box smb seems to work flawlessly ( as with my buffalo Mini ).
As there is no official Flash you can only have one that was designed for another device, so that explains a little.
I personaly have only seen the remark from archos that they have a hw accelerated version in a certification process by adobe.
And the rest might be already fixed, if i would know anything or could talk about it.

Yeah, the issue is that Archos doesn't give you a way to specify the username/password combination to use to connect to the SMB server. I bet if I turned on guest access to my WHS it would work, but I'd prefer not to do that...

Android running slow :(

I don´t think im the only one who experienced that problem. If i install a new rom, the rom is smooth as butter. But if i use it a few days, it starts to lag. I tried the most Launcher (ADW, ADW EX, Stock, Launcher Pro, and so on) I got only google services running in Background. I´ve also experienced it without installing any new apps on my DZ. I think, if is spend so much money for a device, it has to run fast without any lag (i´m not talking about games, only the gui). I tried with and without overclocking, I tried Sense and AOSP Roms...
At the beginning everything runs like hell, and 4-5 days later its not that snappy as it should be. I always did a full wipe before installing a new rom and dont even restored my apps and settings with titanium backup.
If someone suggest my things i could try to speed my device up it would so great. And no, i dont use a tast-killer.
Thank you

How fast do you keep your phone clocked? If I have mine set where it is able to go below 806 I find it does lag some. So I keep it at 1017.

Unusual... I'm running stock with LauncherPro, and the only time I get any real lag is when I'm using a 3D live wallpaper. Switching to a static image fixes that instantly. And that's with Twidroyd, Trillian and Touchdown running in the background. No task killer, they seem to do more harm than good aside from getting rid of outright hung processes.

I know exactly what you mean, man. I will try a ROM and be in love with it then like a week later it starts lagging like a sunuvabitch. Launcher pro has helped a bit.

I just bought a G2 and still really fast with Virtuous ROM. Before i use Samsung i5700 (Spica), and almost the same thing, phone became laggy every 2 weeks. What i did is the following:
1. boot into recovery mode (CWM)
2. advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
3. restart
and viola phone start to be fast again. However i read somewhere in this forum that wiping dalvik is not recommended tough.. but hey..it works for me, so why not

Thanks for your Replys
If the rom starts lagging, i wiped dalvik cache alread to see if it helps and it doesn´t
Miui is a Problem for me cause i only can use the old miui from q´n´d cause its the only miui rom i got my german language pack & keyboard working and im not a big fan of miui. I would love to run the stock g2 rom, but it also has no german language built in and the only stock g2 rom wich works w/o problems on dz is the rooted one where my german keychars on hw keyboard doens´t work...
Also i got no process running in background wich uses more than 2-3% cpu at all. my logcat also doesn´t show something that could cause the lagging. I´m not using a live wallpaper, a taskkiller or something that way.
TJBunch1228 <- I got exactly the same

How often are you guys rebooting your phones? I had a similar issue, started rebooting my phone every night, and wa-la, it works awesome with no lag.
I use an app called CT Scheduler. It was free on the market, but I don't think it's there anymore. I'm sure there are others, this one lets me specify a time for the phone to reboot. I chose 2am (while I'm sleeping).

That means android take a lil while to know whether the screen is touched or swiped, this produces a noticable "lag" when swipe between homescreens. Now i have to find a way to reduce the time for android to notice that.
If someone could tell my the path or the variable where this is stored.

Is there a fix for laggy/choppy scrolling w the Xoom? Perhaps a FPS increase?

I bought one. I love it. Do not want Ipad, I want to stay with Android and will.
However - the scrolling is not smooth, there is no denying that. Is there a way to fix this?
I remember when I first got my Evo I had to root and put in a kernel that increased FPS. Is there an option for that yet?
Thanks.

My scrolling is smooth - i am overclocked, have been since the first 5 minutes of taking it out of the box.
I thought that I read we didn't have a cap on the FPS.

Use a new launcher like launcher pro

Ok. I'll try the LauncherPro when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion.
Did you get some choppiness before you switched launchers? Or before you OCed?

The stock launcher is very laggy... if you use launcher pro you can set how fast the menus open. Get spare parts out of the market and you can configure how fast either things open too

This is going to sound really stupid, but make sure it's right side up, in landscape orientation.
All other orientations are far less smooth (on the homescreen at least). Even 180 degree landscape is horrible. Only the standard orientation, with the Motorola logo in the top left, works well.

Mine lags abit, so i take it I will have to root the xoom ? for increasing cpu?

Yes, you will need to root the Xoom. You can get the one-click root over on the Development side of this forum.

That is just retarded... in order to have my xoom running smooth and how it should, I have to root. Does that make sense to anyone.
This is not exceptable... FAIL
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

The only time I found it not running smooth(before I rooted) is if i dragged my finger across the screen to scroll. If i just tapped the side, it was crisp.

Xoom or Doom!!!!
i guess it is all comes down to personal preference. cuz my Xoom is pretty smooth and i am running stock. i don't think anyone has a Super Xoom or a Doom Xoom. it is the same hardware, just that some people see fast different. get a thunderbolt if you wanna be super fast. or take the risk and overclok (something i'll never do), cuz there is obviously a risk factor to it. low battery for one, i won't be trading battery power for speed anytime soon. and then you xoom might not have a long life. it might be fast now, but we all watch nascar and see what happens when you go too fast, you CRASH!!!!. and within a year you could end you with a Doom Xoom. (dead Xoom).
cuz if this thing was safe to be overclock, i have said in other thread, uncle Moto would have been the one to do it, and would have brag and claim that they have the fastest tablet on the market @ 1.5Ghz. we all know it can be push even further. but with the cons, i won;t take my chances. i don;t need the nano second it will take to load an app, am fine with the extra second it will take me to load a web page. and scrolling is normal as it has been since i got mine. plus others have tried launcher pro and experience better. but do what you feel, just don;t come back crying foul about how you tablet didn;t last, and try to blame motorola for your fault.

How high are y'all overclocking? Hows the battery life?

Gingerstreak 2.4. Thoughts anybody?

Flashed the new gingerstreak 2.4 ROM a couple of days ago. And what can I say, it just works.
Apart from a screen lock issue (just goes black and locks up - removal of battery required. Suspect it's a Widgetlocker issue cos it doesn't do it when I revert to stock lock screen) and a charging issue (says that my charger is faulty if I use a 3m USB extension lead, ok if I dispense with the extension lead)
As far as I can tell. Tethering, bluetooth, wifi all work properly. (not tried VPN - don't need it, don't know how to set it up)
GPS, however is greatly improved. Now works in my lounge ( ground floor, reinforced concrete ceilings) Managed to navigate from my lounge to the toilet - journey time 6 secs. Average speed 3mph if you really wanted to know (I know how you guys love detail...)
I especially like the little text selection tab on text entry. Makes editing a breeze...
As for the much vaunted battery life. TBH I've not had enough time to evaluate. But when I can stop f****ing around with it, and revert to normal day to day operation. I'll have a clearer idea, and will post again, along with any other likes/dislikes/bugs that I find...
Incidentally, I backed up my entire SD card. Wiped it. And without any kind of back up, carried out the flashing procedure as detailed in untold places on these forums. Then manually re-installed all 130 odd apps.
Not convinced that nandroid or other backups work that well. I bit of a pain, but I think it's worth it.
I love this phone, and right now I think it's as good as anything out there ('cept maybe the SII. or the Sensation xe) And I'm not at all sorry that I upgraded to this. Can't be long before it loses it's beta status, surely..?

Took the plunge myself this evening and it's mostly going well; EXTREMELY fast compared to 315!
Only bug I've found so far (and it's a biggie!) is that if I enable wi-fi, then I get an infinite crash-boot-loop. unfortunately, when I pull the battery and restart to get out of this loop, wi-fi is still enabled to the bug happens again! Took me a few tries to get in to the settings and disable wi-fi before it crashed again...
Since I disabled wi-fi it's been running like a dream!

Kinda wanted to throw my Streak in the trash. But after upgrading to GingerStreak 2.4 from StreakDroid 1.9, I love the device more than ever. So much smoother, faster and more reliable than before. I'm amazed really.
Haven't encountered any bugs yet. SuperUser problem was a minor blip.
IMHO anyone who says Gingerbread isn't much of an improvement over Froyo must be on crack (or just ignorant).

From what I've seen/read, it appears to be caused by the Wi-Fi sleep policy. The crash only seems to happen if you set the Wi-Fi to never sleep. Unfortunately, for me this is the only valid use of the Wi-Fi connection... what's the point if every time you turn the device on you have to reconnect to the network?
Anyway, that's the only real issue I've found so far. That and for some reason the "dimmed" buttons on widgetsoid switches are so dim they're invisible now... were fine in Froyo but I can't find a way to change it. Not really a GS issue though, just wanted to gripe

From what I've seen/read, it appears to be caused by the Wi-Fi sleep policy. The crash only seems to happen if you set the Wi-Fi to never sleep.

Add a background to widgetsoid. The reconnecting is no big deal for me.

One simple Question: Do i have to reflash amss coming from SD2.3? Or is the amss for this build the same as for the build before?
Btw.: Good work! Thanks to all the guys that contributed!

I'm using GingerStreak 2.4
But sometimes my streak boot couples of times before start up.
anyone knows why it happens?

One thing I've noticed is that Gingerstreak doesn't have the funky CRT-style sleep animation when pressing the power button :-(
Also strangely the signal, Wi-Fi and cellular data indicators keep randomly changing between white and green...
otherwise it's great! ;-)

Solved my locking up. Set wifi to always on, instead of off with screen, widgetlocker works just fine.....

Holy cow! GS 2.4 is flawless so far! Have yet to notice a single glitch. Smoothest ROM yet for streak. Animations don't hang at all, like they invariably did with ANY version of FroYo.
Wow!

easy response to that is ALWAYS follow instructions. If it says to install a baseband, it's propably for a good reason so best to do it!
Flash the dsp file with fastboot.

Is this in beta still? I do not see the usual introduction and download links.
