Froyo for streak

Is froyo better functioning and looking than the official o2 2.1 rom? Because right now I'm on the 2.1 and it feels super fast I just don't think I can live without flash
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Well its a beta so it has a few minor bugs - just a question if you can live with them.
Personally the pro's far outweigh the cons, but you may have different requirements so...
Speed - Much much faster, Flash - Awesome and you get access to lots of froyo apps.
So far the bugs I'm aware of that have been reported by multiple users (I 've ignored single person reports as they are often because people forget to reboot/haven't read the instructions/already had the fault - I've also ignored a few that have been reported which are based on people not understanding what they are seeing or have ignored the solution when its been put to them or are based on 'it seems slower doing xyz or the battery discharges faster' - I've flashed back and forward and tested 2.1 v's 2.2 and the gps is not slower to first lock and the battery drain is pretty much identical. Sorry it wasn't meant to be an essay but reading the modaco forum you would think it doesn't work at all!
So this is the list of bugs that I have been able to replicate -
1. the sensor sometimes gets stuck to it doesn't switch landscape/portrait 100% of the time - probably the most irritating bug but no biggy
2. Some apps don't appear in the market - but it only seems to be 1 or 2 and if you ask in the forums, someone will send you a direct link to the apk file
3. Froyos inbuilt tethering only works on USB but there are a couple of free ones which work fine.
4. Pausing a track in the music player brings up a 'cannot play this file message' so you either have to go back or forward a track to resume.
5.radio channels 12 and 13 aren't accessible on wifi
6. camcorder wont run at 720p
err that's it - unless you run at one of the non standard screen densities which introduces a few minor problems.
Personally I'd say if you are happy doing the flashing then go for it.

Point 2. Some apps?
Under communications I only see 10 apps listed

market fixed in todays build apparently

Read to the end of the modaco thread - you have to clear the market data - he's also just removed the build so he can tweak a problem that's been introduced with the camera.
We shouldn't really be discussing this here otherwise we will get the mods wrath, better keep to the builds thread.

Does froyo fix the wireless issues on 1.6? Meaning the not connecting to wireless networks and having to manually turn on wireless on and off to get it to connect.

Mate do you just want to keep wifi on all the time if so go to settings-wireless-wifi settings click on advanced and set wifi to stay on

I do have settings on all the time. Even use wifi lock and still does not work.

Att 2.2 differences

Can someone get past the fact they successfully loaded 2.2 and tell all those on 318,319,322 the following
Is mobile hot spot and tethering intact?
do you have the unknown sources options in applications?
what version of swipe is loaded?
better camera app and pictures?
what are the art bloat apps?
how is battery life?
are there added options for vibration control or font change?
thanks

Did not no there were update from 318
Were did you find update past 318?
Also you are right everyone is so ecstatic about 2.2 they never tell us the difference between AT&T and build 318.
I can't even have my browser update my phone, I think it's because I rooted it to base 00.

im interested in answers for this too. anyone want to download the 340 build 14844 rom and let us know?

Mobile hotspot requires a tethering contract, or it won't work.
EasyTether appears to no longer work.
We now know why this update took so long, they spent all that time crippling the system to make a buck for themselves.

has anyone tried the QDL tool with the update?

Ok, I finally got the att 2.2 loaded. It took forever. had to downgrade all the way down to 1.6. Here's the answers to some of the questions I have seen asked:
-Baseband ver GAUSB1A134031-US
-KERNEL VER 2.6.32.9-perf
-Build 14844
-No bloatware
-No tethering or wifi hotspot.
-Super one click 1.7 rooted it.
-Its Fast. REALLY FAST.
-Is it possible that the camera app got worse? Definitely not an improvement.
-Swipe 2.8.80.12867
-The phone app has some slight tweaks.
-the email program is much improved. nice tweaks. It has a combined inbox. Did the other version have that? I mostly used k-9 because it is a lot better. Still no multi-touch pinch to zoom.
-DID I SAY IT WAS FAST? CAUSE ITS FAST. I MEAN STREAK DROID FAST. NO LAGS.
I’ll need a couple of days to decide if its worth it.

finally made it to att 2.2
i was on 318 as well had to go all the way back to 1.6 to get it to work.. havent had much time to go through.. but i would definitely agree it is much faster then 318

What's the Quadrant score on 340? Has anyone tried perfmod on it?

Would one of you folks mind pasting the fingerprint from the build.prop? I want to see if I can regain AT&T carrier billing in the market on streakdroid 1.8

Ditto that request.
Would really like to see that ATT installs as the ro.ril.xxxxx statements for setup of the cell system parameters.

According to captivate forum if you delete tethering manger 1.0 with titanium backup you can get around the att tethering verification.
Anyone want to try?

So is K-9 better than the new email client or do you prefer the new email client over K-9?

it would still work without a tethering plan. the only phones att was capable of controlling that on where iphones and blackberrys. windows mobile and android have it build in, but removable. the unlocked version of the att streak does have a setting to turn on tethering. but apparently this version has it turned off, it doesnt take much to do it, verizon does it too, just copy what they do.

Yep I still think so. Pinch to zoom is enabled. It also has the ability to pop up notifications. Its getting closer, though.

Ditto here on everything.
I did try to back it up in streakmod and CWM both failed.
Email was the same. Exchange sync failed for me with it as well. Our server has a self signed ssl. and the accept all does not work.
Looked just like 318 to me with unknown sources missing from settings applications.

Battery life is great

HTC aria 2.2.2 update review

So I decided I'd give the new official update for the HTC aria a shot despite all the talk about not being able to root it yet. So far some pretty important things I've noticed is the fact that there is no sideloading. I saw someone on here say that it would be able to sideload - incorrect. The second big thing is the fact that it does not have the touchpad button wake. You have to use the power button which is a huge flaw for me. Someone also said that it would be capable of overclocking- as far as I know right now I don't think you can, but I can't be 100% sure yet because of the lack of sideloading and the 4.99 for setcpu. Some of the cool new features I do like is the mobile hotspot capabilities, live wallpapers, and the market update. So now I want to see what others have to say about it. Please come tell me what you've found!

If I purchased from ebay the device in 3 / 3 and it had not arrived yet, am I expected to see within 2.2 and unable to root?

Did you purchase a used phone? Was it already rooted? Did the seller install the latest update from HTC/AT&T?
The 2.2 update from at&t is not an Over-the-air (OTA) update. It's offered by at&t via the HTC web site. The update, therefore, takes work on the user's part. It's not automatic.
That said, if you purchase a phone from eBay that is factory fresh from at&t, it's possible it already has the 2.2 update - I put the odds at 50%.
For what it's worth, the only thing wrong with the stock build of this device's ROM is the at&t bloatware/crapware. Other than that, it's a solid device, and there are ways to customize the phone to your liking.

don't worry about side-loading.
Use the stock HTC sync software that came with your Aria - when prompted to update, don't do it!

If it is what it looks like, (US version/AT&T branded) then you should be able to root no problem with unrevoked

I'm not sure about enabling RTL support, but I think people have been talking about it on these forums.

At first my phone felt quick when it was processing, but initial response to screen presses felt slightly laggy. I was concerned. But after running it for a few weeks now, without a task killer, it feels like quite a quick more featured phone. Seems like there was a calibration and optimization duration there. Maybe it's in my head? Very happy with the upgrade, especially for apps to SD!
Oh, and add gingerbread keyboard from the market and the phone is twice as good!

You can do side loading by using android injector. You can find it at at harmonyhollow or softpedia. Just type in Android Injector at google. It also allows you to install multiple apps at the same time.

How do you get Apps to SD to work on this rom?
In the past I was using Darktremor's a2sd preinstalled on the Liberated Aria roms.
I am now on the Liberated version of the rom (thanks to Gene Poole - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272), but I don't know how to do apps2sd here. I have my sdcard partitioned with ext3 (512 Mb), but it's not getting used automatically.

Stock VZW gingerbread 2.3.4 with root

So I just wanted to say that I flashed my vzw cdma tab with the rooted virgin stock gingerbread provided by Oldmacnut.
It works perfectly!! I had been running stock froyo with voodoo kernel...but what I have now works great.
Skype with video!
3g, gtalk with video installed using another thread here.
Adw launcher works fine...i just restored my apps with titanium.
I would have posted this on the development thread Oldmacnut started for this release but this is my very first post after following a few threads for the last couple of months.
Anyway this is what I was waiting for!
So thanks to Oldmacnut and the guys he got it from.
I'm keeping my eye on your gb rom Oldmacnut and spacemoose's honeycomb.
Thanks for all the silent help Ive gotten from XDA haha...

Does this have the screen density set tiny at 182 or standard (240)? I flashed the other de-bloated version but went back to Froyo because I got tired of squinting at everything.
If it looks the same as the de-bloated version, I'll just stick with Froyo.

Not at all...I read that about that version but like Oldmacnut said this official release looks almost exactly like froyo...except for the numbers (version, kernel, etc...)
Everything is the same size.
It's worth it.
On another note: I did try getting cwm recovery using the bootstrapper but it after wipe it stalled at the samsung logo so I put it back into download mode and reflashed the ginger stock...i don't really need cwm right but it would be nice (and a kernel i can oc)

Updated my Tab to Sprint 2.3.4, now some questions
I took my US Cellular/VZW tab and flashed using Heimdall using this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033&highlight=sprint
It worked perfectly! I have full root (At least I think I do), all my apps were there and working, and I still had my Bluetooth devices there and working. My only issue is that in 2.2 on VZW, I could put the Tab into airplane mode and the wifi and BT would still work. I did that so I could save battery life as I only use the Tab wifi only. Now in 2.3.4, when I select airplane mode, I can get wifi but not BT. I have to disable airplane mode to get the BT to work. Does anyone know if this is a Sprint-ism or Gingerbread-ism? How about this, is it possible to turn off the radio altogether and not worry about airplane mode?

Would like to try also
I tried their download link and am unable to download the stock rom. Currently running the modified release and everything seems to work ok except a couple of items. Want to test the stock version to see if it fixes those issues, but can't seem to download the rom. The file doesn't show up when I click on the download link. Maybe just me???

I flashed this as well and it's awesome. Much prefer it to the molested version.
Bloated stuff I don't like I removed with SDX app remover.

If I remember correctly the link takes you to the Android Door website where you can download it there from Oldmacnut's blog. If there are issues with the rom I think its from how its being improved upon which I want to check out once its bug free or close enough. So the stock isn't going to have the same issues. But I can say that I haven't had any problems with it other than VZW Bootstrapper not working and not being able to find a modded kernel.

His rom is 182 but you can change it to 240 easily. I did not like the small icons I changed the setting in build.prop back to 240 and it is great.

I'm waiting for a kernel. But in the meanwhile I've decided to learn how to make one myself. I've been inspired by XDA and I've got a Linux machine ready.

I think you can go into "Settings - Verizon Data Service" and uncheck the "Use mobile data service" and that turns off the 3G. At least least I don't have connection when I do that and have wifi off. You can also still enable bluetooth with the "mobile data service " unchecked.

Just an update...
I am still running this on my Tab with no problems.
Still keeping an eye for any custom GB kernels to pop up so I can oc and maybe use voodoo sound again or something similar. And a custom recovery.
Btw I'm putting my comments here so as not muck up the development threads.
Thanks xda!

No problems here, also, and I have to agree that this is far from "worthless". I'm a developer and closer to stock I can get, the less I have to care about whether or not some given app works on some given hacked system. Plus there's always something screwy with hacked systems. The camera doesn't work, the screen dpi is set to where I can't read it, "bloatware" is randomly removed without considering what it will alter or break by removing it, the unit simply refuses to boot after a point...it's always something. Always. I'm not slamming the hackers, lots of people use their systems and appreciate them, I'm simply citing years and years of personal experience. So yeah, the closer I am to stock, the happier I am which makes this very useful.

Where can I find the leaked stock ROM? I'm not sure I follow the suggestion to look in "dev"... link?

I've had no problems at all with 2.3.4 on the Tab, but after flashing I have had problems with the keyboard dock. It no longer automatically recognized it when docked and when I finally persuaded it to work some of the keys were remapped the pound symbol (#) became the pound sterling symbol and the " and @ exchanged places.
I use the dock quit a lot and so reverted to stock, but I do miss Skype with video!

ICS....not yet worth using :(

Hi all,
I know everyone is working really hard on the ICS source for the S2 but from what I've experienced so far its not worth moving on from 2.3.6. I know this is all testing/dev work and things aren't going to run to smoothly but I dont seem to be able to get a stable ROM that works for all the below, at least one of them doesnt work or crashes all the time (I seem to find I'm CWM backup'ing/restoring and titanium apps all the time and restoring ROMS instead of using the phone lol):
- USB utilities - crashes when trying to use it
- GPS doesnt work to well - even with the agps patch applied
- MMS/3G signal doesnt work
- Nova launcher on most crash
- Messaging stops working from the dock - so you have to clear the data to re apply launcher settings
- some other stuff I cant think of right now
If I can put a tick in the box for all of the above I would be a happy man til then I'm sticking to 2.3.6 ROM's (Not moaning, just thought I would put it out there and see what everyone elses thoughts are) :-D

Just realized what i said...Anyway so many threads out there already regarding ICS just post in there regarding making a new thread. You only get people coming down your thread just cause you opened a new thread on a topic that is already kinda getting boring with all the crap everyday you read on here and people opening so many threads when you could just post in the ones that are already created..

thats what you get when you use a beta version. post the same in existing threads, and do read before posting another thread.

I was actually not going for.ics myself due to what I was reading... but couldn't resist anymore and have been on Darkys (Ficeto) LPB for 2 days now... I'm actually quite happy and surprised by the performance and ESP battery life... probably not.going to switch back to the bread...!

I agree. I have been trying about 5 versions of custom roms with ICS which all users would say are very good but I was very disappointed in performance, and sometimes it would freeze.

ICS.....not yet released!
Be patient now.

U guys need to do a full wipe even if the ROM says no wipe. Otherwise you will definitely get issues. I was having some before I did a full wipe. After the Wipe did a fresh install of a Custom ROM and now its awesome. Definitely can't go back to GB now

Hi all,
I know everyone is working really hard on the ICS source for the S2 but from what I've experienced so far its not worth moving on from 2.3.6. I know this is all testing/dev work and things aren't going to run to smoothly but I dont seem to be able to get a stable ROM that works for all the below, at least one of them doesnt work or crashes all the time (I seem to find I'm CWM backup'ing/restoring and titanium apps all the time and restoring ROMS instead of using the phone lol):
- USB utilities - crashes when trying to use it
- GPS doesnt work to well - even with the agps patch applied
- MMS/3G signal doesnt work
- Nova launcher on most crash
- Messaging stops working from the dock - so you have to clear the data to re apply launcher settings
- some other stuff I cant think of right now
If I can put a tick in the box for all of the above I would be a happy man til then I'm sticking to 2.3.6 ROM's (Not moaning, just thought I would put it out there and see what everyone elses thoughts are) :-D

No offense.
But it's still in development. "not done"
In due time it will be sorted.
But threads like these will not speed up development.
So please have some respect for those who put in effort.

If only this forum allows cursing...

maybe something wrong with you.
I'm using latest ICS leak and everything works and hasn't crashed/FC. Nova launcher works perfect too.

A huge squadron of super-developers are rushing your way, sir. Their mission is to make ICS work for you... TODAY. Your words are praised, and wishes are their commands, to fulfill your every need. Please, stay put, and wait for them with cookies and milk.

I agree, don't think I will use it till either samsung release it, or sammobile release a proper rom leak that samsung will later release.
Just beta versions at the moment, rather disappointing.
CM9 is supposed to be nice, but I hear too many things not working, & will they never add fm radio support?
So... For now, I'm holding out on 2.3.4

LPB (Stock rooted) has behaved extremely stable so far, in fact the modem seems to more stable in comparison to GB.
Which rom you tried and did you wipe before flashing? LPB is not perfect (after all it´s a leaked beta) but it is more than usable as daily driver

I shouldnt do this cause my mates friends uncle will kill me but.
Ive got hold of a fully working release of ics that samsung will roll out the only reason they arnt is cause they are waiting to time it for the sgs 3 release, they want to encourage people to upgrade to that and then once thats sold well will offer this upgrade for the sgs2.
There have however been reports of phones being bricked due to a time stamp in the kernel stopping the kernel from running before a given date.
So I repeat this ROM will brick your phone
flash in odin as normal
