Just recevied it US Dell streak yesterday,and the first thing I did was flash/root to Android 2.1. Everything went w/o a hitch. Boy this thing is amazing....Im come from an 8yr old Dell Axim running custom roms.
Couple of observations/questions:
When i was on "donut" and installed my sim. Up in the control panel for connections I saw the 3G/Edge/edge/gsm icons. Now that Im on the "eclair" i see a "H" above up/down arrows..cant tell which network im on 3g/edge.etc etc
What gives? Not an issue I can make calls and surf net, realitively quick d/l speeds. Just curious
Also the camera I dont have option to view the forward faceing cam...anyone else have this issue. Maybe will be addressed with official Streak Froyo release!!!
I watch alot of divx movies, so i loaded Rockplayer which works fine. But I like to stream video via Wifi over network share. I use Estrong file explorer and can browse to my movies folder. When i try to open it wont play, saying unsupported format..I think Streak/Estrong is trying to use default media player..how can I get it to use Rockplayer..is it possible
When both Wifi/Data connection are both enabled.....which takes priority for surfing net/market place d/l and such.. Dont really care since I have unlimited data plan, but I would think wifi would be first choice then data connection...can someone confirm.
Last but not least, Im a noob when it comes to Android...what are the advantages of Rooting streak. I see the Su program, but I have yet to install any apps which take advantage of "roooting"
Thanks....so far absolutely loving Streak...now to search for better keyboard..I liked the one on donut with arrow and number keys...any third party keyboards similar to tthe original keyboard
Cant wait till Froyo comes out!!!!!
- 'H' HSPA speed. Better than 3G
- Front facing camera...well this whole 2.1 is a rip off of a stock 2.1 Nexus One which didnt have a Front Facing camera. Im assuming this is gonna be added when the newer beta version comes out for 2.1. Otherwise, everything about this update smells like my good old Nexus One, from Gallery to the camera.
- root allows you to further customize your Streak to your liking because it gives you full permissions. Metamorph is a great tool for it. Root also allows you to tweak your processor according to your need. Unfortunately we cant overclock yet but underclocking to save battery is there. You'll also have more apps available to you from the marketplace. Also, once we have more developers creating ROMs, root can allow you to change ROMs. Different ROMs, different experience.

i didnt know the 2.1 leak was a nexus one rom... even the one from mobileupdate.dell.com/Latestbuild/Latestbuild_21.html?
oh and just a little more clarification. H=HSPA=3.5G
heres some light reading if you want to expand your knowledge
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G
Please read carefully!
A very good way of saving battery life is turning the 3G connection on only when needed.
Unfortunately there currently is no api that allows doing that, only two apps that use a workaround and require your special attention for signing.
The first app is Toggle 2G and is made by our fellow member TheMasterBaron and it requires custom signing.
The second one is JuiceDefender's addon "AOSP helper":
The AOSP helper might work on other "pure" AOSP custom ROMs - it just requires signing by the "cook". If you want the AOSP helper to work with your custom ROM, contact me - I'll send you the apk for you to sign.

If you are serious about rom cooking and want to prove so, please post the name and status(Working, which one of the 2 apps?/Not working) of your ROM.
Thanks for your interest
The final purpose of this addition to a custom rom is the ability to switch 3G on automatically(via Tasker or JuiceDefende) when starting preselected apps (like internet) and turning back to 2G mode when speed is no longer required, thus saving a lot of battery)
Please do not post or talk about useless apps like switchpro that is only a shortcut to mobile network settings or widgets that turn off the connection completely.
This is about api level implementation of this feature, if you don't know what that means please refrain from posting,
switchpro widget has workaround to swap 2G/3G
Juice defender is great control everything you need

Smoda widget does 2g/3g switching
This thread is for rom cookers only and is about switching from 3G to 2G (not turning internet off) automatically (not by entering the settings menu from a shortcut)
Would love the jd to work.
Funny thing - it actually works on froyo (at least jpc).
Try reading the setup log, AOSP plug-in install always fails (JPK).
Didnt use anything newer than JPC, but I installed and used AOSP helper on it (that was quite a long time ago). JD version was something like 2.1.8 (agcourse dont remember the exact version, just guessing).
This is certainly valuable info, there was a note somewhere about these two apps being able to work on leaked roms.
well, def doesn't work on JPK
I would love this though, I hate having to disable the APN or switch it to GSM just so my batt doesn't die in 12hrs. if it could go 3G only for internet/youtube etc and 2G for everything else that'd be awesome
Yup, that's what I want, but we have to get the cook's attention first
I have code that can switch 2G/3G on SGS stock ROMs. Haven't released it yet though, as for now it only works on GSM, and on some other devices it pops up the PIN screen for some reason. Haven't figured out exactly why yet, but it works great on my SGS, anyways.
It'll be released soon ... (I'm actually working on a WMLongLife port to Android)

Sweet.
Any chance for auto-2g/3g toggle when the screen goes off? That would be really nifty!
..and maybe a bit buggy too.
I'd rather have something I can use with Tasker to create my own rules.
Yup, a working app is all we need and Tasker can do the rest
I only want to use it for selected apps like the browser, market etc.
I also thin it would be best to have an app for on and one for off to ease the toggling process and not accidentally turn it on instead of off since I don't know if Tasker can check the GSM status this way (and if it does it would require a new rule making it more complicated)

What we really need is "Tasker" to be Android-native like it is on the iPhone. And control over communication without Google breathing down our necks too much. The whole existence of this topic is because Google set it up for 2-way data gathering with both parties (you and the application) having an equal say in the matter. Both parties can bend this mechanism to their liking somewhat in practice.
Ummm... google didn't provide the api, that's it... There's no issue with tasker.
There's plenty of alternatives(2 as far as I looked) for this particular "task" but the switch is what's missing.
Maybe we'll get the api in a later version and various coding tricks won't be required anymore.

The point with Tasker (and alternatives) is that you get about 80% of what you want/ need (in
Eclair) which might be enough for what you want or totally inadequate. It cannot truly detect (let alone intercept) an application start or exit, but will in general always lag behind the facts. In Froyo this becomes especially clear as there are even less hookups for work-arounds causing pathetic behavior at times.
What good is it to have a 3G/2G switch if you cannot let it start before your browser, unless using a script + custom icon. How do you detect if you left the browser if Tasker (for instance) treats any change of application (even switching) as leaving the previous one? In Froyo this currently means that it actually waits till you start a new application before it "sees" the exit of the previous one, which you left a minute ago. You really want native control over these things as well.
But enough of this.

Uh, how so? I used it for quite a while and I haven't seen any lags or issues in task execution.
You can't really ask it to predict your thoughts now can you
Ok, so after using Energy ROMs since this phone came out everything worked pretty decently. Recently, I can not get weather in 3G. I read in another thread that T=Mobile is blocking it? Will there be any way around this?
I might go back to stock : (
I have always really hated this phone. I want a full Android solution but I just bought a car.
When using my HD2 I noticed when tethered to my laptop my OpenVPN software sometimes acts as if its blocked. There are other strange internet discrepancies as well so blocking is possible.
The weather on certain roms when using My Location doesnt work. If you add your location manually then I am betting it works. For example on Miri's Rom I noticed Burbank, CA cannot be detected whereas Palmdale, CA will be detected. If I add Burbank manually without using My Location then I get the data. Kwbr's Rom it detects burbank so I am not sure if there is weather databases missing from certain roms?

Curious... your statement is that T-Mobile is blocking data... and you're hating on the HD2??
Data is Data.... if your statement that T-Mobile is blocking the data is true... then it wouldn't matter WHAT phone you were on... Android, WinMo, BB, ect... that data would be blocked...
The HD2 is a wonderful phone... is it perfect? by no means... but which phone is???
all that being said... I've been running the latest Energy ROM and have not had ANY issues with Weather updates... so a few questions:
what build are you running?
what radio?
have you tried a different build &/or Radio?
results?
it's pretty much a given that a stock build will be pretty stable VS a custom build... but the downside is that you lose the cutting edge stuff that is available in the customs. If a specific build/ROM is giving you issues... try a different one and see if the situation improves.
Also... make sure you are using Task29 before you flash... so you don't have residual bugs that could creep in from an old flash.
if you're issues are connection related, try a different radio... see if that solves your issue...
and welcome to the wonderful world of Customizing Electronics! regardless of WHAT you're customizing... there will be bugs... no platform/device is immune
All my info in my signatre is up to date and accurate. I can no longer get weather updates when I am in 3g or better. Its strange. I also cant update Facebook news feed unless I log out and log back in. I am by no means a developer but I have flashed dozens of ROMs and tested almost all Android builds on ths phone. I am very technically inclined and have donated to the Energy developer for his hard work. Every time I flash i do Task29, radio, ROM, then reset. I even tried factory reset this time becauseI never had to try that in the past. there is a legitimate issue and someone specifically did mention that TMO is now blocking certain data. maybe i took this wrong but i figured that they finally figured out how to block users with HSPL users from certain content.
oh btw ryan. when tjis phone came out, Hspl ROMS were way more stable then stock TMO stuff. this phone is just awful. its not the devs fault. its not the hardware. its microsoft. for instance, how many clicks or taps do i need to get 1 stinkin email? like 5! that is so annoying pardon spelling and grammar. im posting from the phone. and everytime i hit space i hit the on screen keyboard buttonand the keya dissappear grrrrrrrrrrrr

Well, like I said... I'm running the latest Energy build (Oct. 8 21681) which means I've got HSPL, and I'm running the recent radio (2.15.50.14) and I haven't had any issue what-so-ever with Data.
I HIGHLY DOUBT TMO is blocking based on HSPL. How could they tell based wireless traffic besides... the only things i've been reading regarding TMO blocking anything have been in regards to text messages.... there is a Data Throttling change coming soon... after 5GB your data connection will be slower till next billing cycle... but that is by no means a block.
As for the rest of your statement.... I only need 1 click for email... don't know WTF you're doing if you need 5 lol
I have NO issues with Microsoft... yes, WinMo6x is an old OS... but it is also the most customizable.... Look at all the UI mods available, all the different themes.... Android, iOS, BB none of those have that... Android is a great OS, but it has it querks too.
Not saying these things to talk you into keeping your phone... hell... I'm sure there are plenty of people on here that would be willing to take it off your hands for you ;p

so wait...when you click on an email mssg you don have to tap "Get the rest of this message?" Than you have to wait for it to DL. Then if there are pictures, you have to tap to DL pics. Then you have to confirm that you want to DL pics. Then you have to tap to scroll to the right. AWEFUL!
I didnt notice the new radio that came out. I thought that we could only use radios that end in _2 in the USA with TMO?
We will see what happens with the latest updates. God I want a phone that works.

TMO radios have to be X.X.50.X
The first stickied thread here is regarding TMO radios
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669733
as for your email issues.... wonder if there are REG entry settings that could adjust it?... will do some digging
Found a thread on the Touch pro section regarding this....
The following settings make it to where, once you download an image the first time, on an email it will not require you to download it again.
Create the following DWORD keys,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
"BlockExternalContent" with a value of 0
"LoadExternalImages" with a value of 1
"AutomaticallyInlineImages" with a value of 1
still looking for some REG setting that will disable the option outright... but this is a step in the right direction.
I also found a setting in the REG for email trunation... if you want that
TMO does block certain ports and can keep certain programs from working correctly or at all, when tethered.
An example I have faced is using Yahoo Messenger on my laptop while tethered. Skype seems to work for me in this case when I need to use a messaging program with webcam functionality.
THank you for your help. I like the REG item you posted.
Well guys we have a pretty good chance to include everything (...what is possible) we ever wanted on our Atrix...
in an other thread th3bill (the dev. behind AOKP milestone 6 port) opened there were alot of request for features on the next builds, th3bill offered to open a discusion which include all requests in one place.
** Th3bill, we love your work and your willing to do for others. your private time "wasted" on porting and developing is not ovious and we do appriciate it. keep on the excellent work and again a major thank, us - the users.
since nobody did it so far i'll start:
i whould like the next build to include:
1. call recording option.
2. video call option.
3. webtop interface?
4. google music.
5. led color control in order to customize notifications.
6. o.c kernel.
7. some other cpu governors.
8. google's android jellybean featuers? espacially build-in voice recognition.
things to fix (what i've noticed):
1. video cam - known problem.
2. browser issus (fc when changing ls and portrait).
3. edit custom brightness levels (fc).
4. can't change signal and wifi colors.
5. also battery bar won't show up.
6. wifi direct won't work.
7. wifi hot spot works and immidiatly stops(maybe it's just my device).
-By now your port is the best rom my atrix had so...big thanks !!!
-I know you working too hard already (DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN !!, i wrote all of the things i think can be added. with or without them it is still almost perfect.
guys it is your turn now...make some suggestions for improvement:
Hey Everyone!
I'm sure most of you know me by now. Those of you who do not, I am NOT the type of rom porter who gets upset by questions/requests/PMs. Just understand that I build 3 builds of MIUI (Photon, Atrix, Infuse), 2 builds of AOKP (Photon, Atrix), 2 builds of Paranoid Android (Photon, Atrix), as well as help Jokersax11 with various projects, including our Kitchen Sink. That being said, it might take me a little bit to respond...but I will.

Enhancements:
1) Call recording, I need to play around with this rom some more...see if it has the capability...maybe I can pull from MIUI...can't guarantee, though
2) That will be tough until Moto gives libs
3) Loki and I have talked at length about this...we're trying to figure out a way to do it, but it will take a hybrid kernel and a lot of work. Not that we won't TRY...
4) This will be in the next release
5) Have an app in mind that I can include? Beauty Aroma is that I can include almost anything
6) I am working with Jokersax11 on making some that are compatible with our base. I know that some are kinda compatible, but not all....
7) By governors, I am assuming you're talking about some form of setcpu?
8) I have the apps on my PC...well some of them.
With respect to fixes, 1 and 2...those won't be till Moto plays nice with me and gives me drivers for ICS.
3) I need a logcat on this one please
4 and 5) Not too sure about these ones. I'll try them with my phone if I get a chance. If you can logcat, that'd be great
6) I think this is an ICS thing. Don't know that any of them do Ad-hoc at the moment
7) You need to forget whatever network you are near if you're connected...and make sure that wifi is ON before beginning tether
Sorry if I am a downer on some of it, but I would rather be honest with everything I tell you all. I have much love for the Android Community
I know of you and your builds well Th3Bill, unfortunately I'm just now working on my 10 posts, I have flashed everything for Atrix and Photon.

hey guys / girls,
there is not a single thing you would like to see on the next builds??

i defenetly would like a mod (or better - a buildin solution) that will trick the google play to show me all apps. (not the ones comptible with my specific device/settings).

Just installed latest build an wanted to say thanks for bill's an jokers hard work..
I personally use the car dock alot an the transitions between audio playing and incoming call tends to be troublesome. When calls answered the phone doesn't port it over the USB. Usually speaker/headset and have to redock in call for it to work... also DSP manager doesn't have effect over the USB audio out. Only reason I revert to original moto rom.
That aside best cm9 based rom yet.

On paranoid android for the atrix when in tablet mode it won't allow me to make the recent apps the Sense htc style one, is there a fix for this?
Question/Report
Not sure if this is the right place to report issues. My luck, probably not. Here it goes..
I had your build 40. worked great!
updated to milestone 6 7b. worked better (yaay)
tried to update to milestone 6 revision. No wipe, same as previous, sent atrix into bootloop. tried few more times, same thing.
tried again with full wipe. Bootloop. tried again. bootloop. flashed 7b full wipe, works great again (yaay).
Just curious if you have any idea why my phone doesn't like the new one. saw in the rom thread a few others had same issue or similar, no answers there as of yet. i'm hesitant it try again unless you can think of something i could possibly be doing wrong somehow. Anything i can send or tell you that could help, let me know. Thanks
As for requests, i prefer Apex launcher over Nova. Maybe include it? it would be nice if i could uninstall Nova also
You Rock!
*So i tried installing again and it works now. not sure what the problem was*

hi,
not really worked...users didn't cooporate and besides cm 10 (JB) is already here and not bad, so this is closed!!

Problems
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this. If not, i apologize.
I flashed your AOKP build 3 on my international atrix. The ROM doesn't recognize internal and external storage for me. When my phone boots it says that is safe to remove sd card. I used the two options EMMC and SD with or without build.prop tweaks. Also i flash this with FULL wipe (system, etc) The other thing that i cannot find are GApps. Can I use CM10 GApps for this rom ?
Thanks in advance.
So, are there options for an OCed kernel yet?
* Moved to development thread. *
I would really love to see an option to "Show only contacts with phone numbers" on Contact list settings...MIUI has this option and this is super usefull for me
MIUI SMS app is great too, but it doesn´t show smileys

what about the German language
very very nice ROM
humm.. I think you'll have no choice of using Elelinux rom to have multi-language support like I had to do for French due to it's rom based Decked_X who is just available in English..
I have been using this ROM for a little while now and find it to be both fast and stable. A really great job by the developer 1ceb0x, for which I would like to express my thanks.
One small issue I have yet to sort out and that is one of awful keyboard lag. I use Handcent SMS for messaging and am wondering if anyone else is using this app and suffering the same problem? I haven't worked out if it is just this app, or a combination of this app and the installed keyboard yet, but if anyone else has had a similar experience that they have managed to resolve, or can suggest tweaks to try I would be grateful to hear. I really would like to stick with Handcent, if possible.
For anyone who has not tried this ROM, I would recommend they do; it really is a great everyday ROM.

As far as I know, the keyboard lag should be gone in the latest version which is 3.5. However, it was only tested using stock keyboard and stock mms app. If you are having low ram, this could be your problem (or an app is keeping your cpu at 100%) - though the first issue should not occur because the kernel is tweaked to kill apps when mem. is lower than 60 - so basically you will always have 40-50 mb free every time.
Thank you guys for your support and for using my rom, it is really a great pleasure to see how many users have it as a daily driver. Thanks again!

I was just about to install this ROM, but I don't need German
I am writing mainly in response to a post by buba_shrimp in the development forum (I do not have sufficient privileges to post there), but also for my own benefit, as I am seeking assistance for the same issue.
In the early days of having my Hero (stock rom) I found GPS to work flawlessly, up until passing the installation of any google maps release past 5.5.0, when bad things started to happen. I have stayed at this release ever since.
Just prior becoming Shpongled, GPS became a nightmare; tried all sorts of stuff, but nothing seemed to help. I came to the conclusion that the hardware was failing and left it as that. That was until the day that I maintained the gps config file from US to UK/European server settings and lo and behold not only did the phone lock my position lightning fast, but all the other problems vanished too.
On moving to this rom, the first thing I did was implementing my replacement gps.conf and continued to get excellent gps performance – most of the time.
The phone now seems to operate in one of two modes; it either gets a good lock in seconds and performs flawlessly, or the gps connection circle spins for and age followed usually by the phone rebooting itself (I think just as it seems to locate its position, though I’m not quite sure just).
I have posted earlier that I am getting bad keyboard lag too, but now realise that this is a hit and miss affair also, as I only get this some of the time.
Anyone have any idea as to how I can debug the phone when it is experiencing these issues, e.g. any free logging tools or other such monitoring software that may help? Or, suggestions as to things I might try? Was glad to see buba_shrimp was suffering a similar problem – not in a gloating way, in a problem-shared-is-a-problem-halved kinda way.
Regards

Get ADB, plug your phone into USB, enable USB Debugging on your phone, type adb logcat into your PC's command line and you have debug

I know how to do this, I just don't have the experience to know what I should be looking for.
Ideally I was really hoping for, I guess, is that someone else has suffered these same issues and has a solution.
My question about usefull tools was along the lines of some sort of app that records resource usage over time, to allow for analysis of conflicts, or similar. Anything like this exist? Or is there a better way? The adb logcat is a little too low-level for me I think, unless someone can help me with pointers as to what I should be looking for.
Thanks folks.
Very nice rom, very fast, but .. (sorry for lang)
every app or game in my Hero lags in fews minutes with error " [Application] is not responsive " .. only thing what i can do is tap " Force close " button .. so each game is not playable (gameboid mainly), or i cant read comics, or whatever else ^^ any solutions?
thanks for help guys
Nice and fast ROM
Thanks
it is a great expense to import the German language in the ROM?
I would like to have it in German.

It would need to be build from source to get german language in it. So yes, it is a great expense since it needs:
a powerful computer
time
space
i'm so sorry for not being able to provide you guys this rom in other languages. i know i have lost some of you because of this issue but i cannot do anything for it. i can build it from source in a way or the other but it will loose the great speed of decked_x base rom.
thank you for using it thought.
Very nice from, I have the stop responding error too but works clicking wait lets me continue without losing anything.

Do Shpongle ROM need swap partition on SD card??
Just a little question: what kind of partition do Shpongle ver 3.7 need on SD card??
I mean: is it necessary to have a little swap partition (60-120MB) ?
PS: version 3.7 is really strong, but I'm waiting for a next and better release
Dont use swap partitions...

In the last release of Elelinux it is required a swap partition greater than 60 MB and an additional Ext4 partition (maybe for app2SD..??).
I know that Shpongle ROM is not Elelinux (there are differences, I suppose), but.. is there any reason for not to installing swap partition or it's just your personal experience??
Thanks..
It's just slower on every rom, based on user and dev opinions...
How can cyanogenmod and cronos have multilanguage support but not Shpongle?
Have they written the rom in every single language?
