Decided to help out and with the ok from ihtfp69 i wrote up a FAQ page
for everyone who uses Sky Raider Rom 3.3 Final
feel free to add.
zip is 180,304 kb
Sense 3.3 Requires a FULL WIPE
to avoid reboots make sure you have S-Off, Upgrade the radio to the OTA version
Wipe everything:
Factory Reset
Data Cache
Dalvik Cache
then apply SR 3.3
The initial boot animation is only there for the first boot and reverts to the original thereafter.
The fix for Rom Manager for fix permissions requires you to open Rom Manager once and then it will work after a reboot
Q: How to flash the ROM?
A:good info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709220
Q: Since 3.3 requires a full wipe, due to all the changes, I was wondering if the MM mappings for the rosie launcher are still compatible with this new release.
A: All of the mappings are new so make sure you clear out the old ones and download the new ones.
Q:how to Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shellLock
A: there are 13 different lock screens including the HTC one
You must be on SP1 or higher to use them
Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shell
Type 'tabunlock' or 'rotaryunlock' to get the menu seen below
Please choose from the menu - S-OFF REQUIRED
1) normal
2) normal+menu unlock
3) normal+trackball unlock
4) music buttons
5) music buttons+menu unlock
6) music buttons+trackball unlock
7) restore HTC lock screen
8) get me out of here!
reboot
Q: how do you get a logcat?
A: Run CMD prompt and in while in the root folder sdk/tools/ run the command "adb logcat" copy paste all you see onto pastebin.com and post the link. or download logcat from market
"HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal" You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy
Any chance someone wants to actually put this on the wiki?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Droid_Incredible
There is a ROM section in there and would be a much better location than in a forum post.
What do you guys think?

hi
I am running SkyRaider 3.0 Sense RC3 but I have been unsuccessful in updating the radio. I've tried HBOOT but it doesn't like the image, tried renaming to update.zip, tried running the zip from Recovery.
Please advise.
thanks

Hello,
I would like to know what is "HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal". Is this some kind of feature?
I would like to disable the PIN Lock on my phone that is enforced by my companies security policy. I used to use LockPicker on Android 2.1 but that no longer works. Is there another solution for Android 2.2?
Thanks.
Nevermind I found it. You should add this to the FAQ. You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy (forgot the actual name since after I removed it, the option is no longer there)
Im having a couple of problems
1) I cant get my Yahoo mail account to set up, I have installed the Mail Mod from ROM manager.
2) I am trying to install an application from the market and i am getting the error saying I dont have enough space to install. I really dont have many apps so i dont think thats accurate. I have cleared the market's cache, data, and restarted the application, problem still persists.
Thanks for the help

Check to see how many saved backups you have. Each backup can be upwards of 300mb's. If you have more than three that could be the problem. Happened to me once before. I got rid of a couple unnecessary backup files and freed up over half a gig of space. Apps from the market installed with no problems again afterward.

Q: How to enable Tab Lock Screen with Sound Controls?
A: You need to remove the HTC lock screen to get to the underlying stock lock screen, get into Recovery, mount system, I go into adb shell to remove
cmd prompt
Code:
c:/sdk/tools>adb shell
~# (showsup) mkdir /system/app.disabled/
~# mv /system/app HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app.disabled/
~# exit

You have to let it sit for a good while... mine took like 5 minutes after changing the lock screen.
Is it normal for it to take up to 3 hours to complete? Cuz that's what keeps happening

There icons that can b changed through metamorph. I made mods to mine with colored icons like bluetooth, car mode, sms, gmail, email. Two kinds of email- basic email app icon r have one made for me for yahoo. So now when I get a email a yahoo icon pops up in my notification. Ask a themer to make you some. Themes and apps has some. I suggest using sysinterwolf cuz he is the man.
OK, so I got my stock Dell streak unlocked Froyo last week and I wanted to unlock it. I read the various threads and it was a bit unclear what worked and what didn't. So here is how I did it for you peeps with new Streaks:
Note: this is for Windows only... (has been tested and works on basebands 315 and 318)
1) download and install the Windows drivers from here:
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Handheld/R288920.exe
2) download SuperOneClick 1.5.5 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=437039&d=1289271263
3) extract SuperOneClick on your hard drive
4) put your Streak in USB debugging mode: Settings>Applications>Development>turn on USB Debugging
5) plug your Streak into the computer - do not mount the SD card
6) right click on SuperOneClick.exe and run as administrator
7) click "Root" and watch the progress and follow instructions.
8) if all went well, you can then find the SuperUser app on your Streak.
If this fails, there are a couple of things that can be done that will likely lead to success. One is to try the above procedure with the SD card taken out of the phone. The other option is to turn the phone off and start the root process as above. When the process gets to "Waiting on Device" then turn the phone on.
Hope this helps...
Would z4root be a lot easier and less time-consuming way than above post? I used z4root 1.2, and it works like a charm!

I never tried z4root because most of the posts I read said it didn't work for Froyo 2.2...
Glad there's another way to do it
Anyway, my point was to explain a step-by-step way for newbs like me.
Unfortunately zroot 1.3 does not work on my streak
AND I AM USING MAC, THX ANYWAY
I tried to download the SuperOneClick but my antivirus block it every time because there is a trojan virus
Hello daesdaemar,
Many thanks for your post. It's a good step by step reference. I am expecting my Dell factory shipped Froyo Red Streak to show up any time soon...
DO you have a list of tips and tricks / tweaks to configure, or install some basic but key apps to get your Dell Streak to optimal run state?
A list like this: Once you receive a factory shipped Froyo Streak, do this:
1. Root it (see daesdarmar's method)
2. Set up keyboard for Swype since it's the best option (or download and replace Swype with latest beta version optimized for Streak 5" screen)
3. Install App X and tweak these to speed up processor frequency
4. Install "Bloat Manager" to disable any un-necessary Dell apps etc
5.
6.
7. etc
I was searching around for a nice list of "To-dos" from anyone who recently received a factory installed Froyo Streak but I can't find a good list around and handy....
Let me know if you can help build one or share one ...
Thanks in advance.

I am a new Streaker, so I don't know that I'm the one to compile a list of essentials, but I did the following in the first day or so just to make it seem a bit better/more personal:
1) rooted
2) Titanium Back Up for freeze/uninstall bloatware
3) AstroFile and File Expert to serve as file managers and connect to my home network
4) QQPlayer to watch videos
5) JustPictures! for my photos
6) Multi Picture Live for wallpaper manipulations
7) Kindle and Aldiko readers
8) Dropbox
9) Extended Controls - nice widget
Trying to figure out if there is a better browser...
Just playing with it and having a good time

I recently got a carrier unlocked Streak with Android 2.2 from Dell. I received it with 2.2 on it. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Root it - see steps in OP
2. Install Titanium backup (paid) and freeze the apps I don't/won't use.
3. Install Root Explorer
4. Changed this line debug.sf.hw=0 to this debug.sf.hw=1 in build.prop. See this
5. I use SlideIt for my keyboard most of the time. I like it better than Swype and I had already paid for it with my old phone. I have been trying Thumb Keyboard for landcape and also have Better Keyboard..
6. I use LauncherPro (donation version) for my home app with just 3 screens.
What's bloat and what's useful is different depending on your needs.
Fantastic and very straight forward.
Thanks so much.

Has anyone successfully rooted this build version?

That's what worked for me on baseband 318, using a WinXP pro computer. May also work just by unmounting the SD Card in Menu->Settings->SD card & phone storage.
Even though I was not turning on USB storage when I connected the USB cable the computer was seeing the SD Card as a removable drive in Windows Explorer.

How about this Dell support page?
So I've tried alot of Nand builds lately (Like TyphooN CM7, CMYLXGO's Stock Desire, and a few others) and it seems none of them allow me to use gps ill open google maps and it will say waiting for location then after like 2-3 mins it will say your current location is temporarily unavailable I've also tried using the GPS Status Tool to try and download GPS Assistance data to see if that would help but it doesn't ):
Anybody have any idea's why it doesn't work? and how i can fix it?
Did the gps work before? does it work with winmo or igo my way (any gps software) . You can try and flash again the radio,maybe do task 29 and then radio.
Can you use adb?
If so, check your /system/etc/gps.conf file.
Make sure NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
Many builds have it set to "europe" or "asia" by default.
oh yeah maybe he didn't change in the config file before he flashes ,right?
Yeah I'm having the same problem I change the gps.config and replace the lib files. Gonna flash a different radio and see if it works
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Seems to be a very few people out there with phones that don't work with the NAND builds at all with GPS. If your phone still works using Winmo then I would suggest using one of the SD builds instead. Especially if you changed your gps.conf file and it still doesn't work. Did you try the files that are found on the Instantaneous GPS Fix thread?
Try FasterFix and GPS Status to fix it
I have the same issue. It used to work and for the hell of it, I flashed a WinMo 6.5 (CR192 DESIRE HD v6.5.3.1.0 Stable - 1.1 Vibrant GTX Released) with QuickGPS and it worked and I got a GPS lock/fix. However, I flashed back to a Android NAND and GPS can't get a fix. There are lots of people in the [Mar.1.2011] Instantaneous GPS Fixation CWR v1.1 RELEASED! who say they can't get a fix even after modifying gps.conf. I think it's a kernel driver issue or all the hardware isn't the same or something.

Yes.
Option 1 : You use rootexplorer to modifiy the file.
Or
Option 2 : You use Droidexplorer on PC which allow you to explore the phone and get/put file. So you get gps.conf, you modify it and you put it back.
Or
Option 3 : you use adb.
I like DroidExplorer for this kind of operation. Simple and efficient

Stroll around.
I tried changing the gps config file myself it was wrong too so i got excited it might work ;~; and I've tried the faster fix thing before but it still didn't work but that so I'm gonna try the flashing wimo and see if works there it used to work awhile back and super well too then one day i went to use it and it was gone Dx
i just try this custom gps.conf for my iconia and it just work well, i got 9 sats and 8 used also fix in 9 seconds with the original gpsconfig.xml
Thanks to AngelDeath who share this threat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11342772&postcount=1
What i do just take the asia.zip (coz i'm indonesia) and make little modification by deleting the other ntp server except for asia..then push it into etc/ (or use root explorer)
it would take time little longer for the first time, but after it locked, it would take faster in term of i just take 9 seconds for 8 sats..
I hope this help...thanks

If you install by CWR then use the zip file. For me, this do not work because the file is for HD2 ROM originally.
If you push or use Root explorer then unzip to get gps.conf file and copy to /system/etc. This works fine for Acer Iconia.
Anyone tried this on the Virtuous Galaxy ROM? I get no GPS lock at all on that ROM.
Works but not accurate
Worked ok on galaxy rom. I get a lock right away, but for some reason its about half a mile off from where it thinks i am to where i actually am. Even when it says accurate to ten meters. Strange but this was the case with the stock gps.conf file as well, just took a lot longer to get a lock. so possibly something wrong with the callibration (if there is such a thing with gps, i wouldnt know) but is definately frustrating
Edit: to install i unzipped file and got the gps.conf file and replaced the stock one in /etc with root explorer.
Edit 2: disabled location via wifi and now it works perfectly.

I LOVE gps status - available in the market / free. Was having a few issues and installed it. Great for checking things out and seeing what your Iconia is seeing.
...and check the dev site for tips / hint / recommendations. Sharp little progeam!
P.S. On their site they say not to leave it on - It'll suck down battery life cause it turns on EVERY sensor the Iconia has and keeps 'em on 'til you are done with what you need to do...

Newbe question
I got the northeastern zip, it was said to copy to the sd card, would that be the root of the internal or the root of the external.
I know some said unzip the file and just replace the file, but seen some had problems after doing it that way. Which is safer...? Drank to much coffee to have a mess up right now Thanks
Update
Copied the config file over the top of the old one, (backed up first). It *****ed when I went to past using root explorer about read only or something like that but did the past anyway.
First test took about 1 min.
Reboot and the second test about 10 to 15 seconds and works very well. Thanks
I am using the Galaxy ROM. I push the config file to syste/etc; open GPS status but the GPS would not lock. I've been waiting over 5 minutes. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks:
Scary Alien for helping with some of my brainstorms
CPCookieMan for pointing me in the right direction with my initial thoughts for this project
MongooseHelix for the idea of the script vs a flashable zip
This is a very simple script that utilizes the radiooptions command to disable the radio but still allow use of WiFi. I wanted to make it to be run in init.d on startup but haven't successfully got it working that way yet so for now it can be run with script manager. This script can be run as follows:
1. Download the script and place it somewhere on your SD Card. (Maybe make a folder named Scripts to keep things organized)
2. Download Script Manager from the market.
3. Open Script Manager and navigate to where you saved the script then select the script.
4. Check the options for run as root and if you always use wifi only because you don't have service on your device check off Run at boot as well.
5. When prompted by superuser allow superuser permissions.
I have tested this script on my Incredible and my Eris as well and should be universal to run on any android device.
Download Here
If you are using this on an inactive device and don't want the activation screen coming up after reboot and new ROM flash follow these simple steps.
*NOTE: you need to be using a ROM that has EPST.apk (Sense or stock based) in it for this procedure to work.
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
The guy that made super charger script has a script that can be ran with gscript and used to modify the init file which is supposed to change it so you can run scripts on boot. I think its only for stock roms tho.

I'm wondering if it could be done by adding the commands in the init.rc file inside the boot image instead of an int.d script. I think the reason it's not working the way I have it setup so far is that it requires su permissions in order for the command to take effect. I'm still researching other ways but for now this method does work

I think so, especially for those of us wanting to build ROMs that give our Eris's a second life as a non-phone touch device.
I know i've been wanting to try my hand at building a ROM like that, just waiting to upgrade in a month as my cell is the only phone i've got, just in case something bad happens to it
Hey, just wanted to say thanks. I don't have a use for this at this time but I can definitely imagine I'll have a use for it eventually!
Whenever I take advantage of my upgrade, I'll be sure to give this a try on my Eris. Right now it's my primary device though. Still, great idea CS!
Works great on my rebuilt Eris ..Thanks CS
Added procedure to permanately disable activation screen for non-activated phones to OP.
Just what i was looking for after i activate the new incredible 2! Awesome work!

I saw it too and then kept forgetting to mention it so I'm glad someone did lol.
so exactly what might happen if i run this script on ancm7 rom that does not have the EPST.apk file?

It will work fine without EPST. EPST is needed for ##778 to work for disabling the activation screen. The script itself does not require that apk, it uses the radiooptions command.

I don't have radiooptions in my /system/bin...
But you said it should be universal on any Android device? Do I need a certain version of busybox installed?
