NOT WORKING?
Are you sure you've done a factory reset? You have to do a factory reset on the first screen (from Dell) of the recovery mode.
Still not working or causing problems (button still lights)? Maybe you're old baseband, try to download new here and upload using fastboot command.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash amss amss.mbn
Last chance. If you still have problems, try loading the original ROM ver. 354 and then reload the Simple Streak ROM. This may work
OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS (update via StreakMod Recovery)
Landscape mode - return back to the default display orientation
Stage UI - return back to the default launcher from Dell
STK Tools - return back to the Sim Toolkit
Original kernel - if you have any problems, you can try the original kernel from Dell.
DJ-Steve KERNEL
Install the kernel from DJ_Steve ROM (thanks for his great work) and adjust some settings. After the update default frequency is set at 1.19 GHz and smartass CPU governors (can be changed via the tools available (SetCPU)). The update will not lose any user data.
DJ-Steve KERNEL INSTALLATION:
you have already installed the Simple Streak ROM (ver. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2)
copy perfupdate.zip to SD card
update via StreakMod Recovery
If update does not work, try the version without the default overclocking.
Good to See....
other custom ROM choices emerging for our beloved Streak!
Anyone try this yet?
Based upon what I've done with 351 (completely ripped out the Stage UI, Dell Sync, Amazon MP3, CoPilot Live, Evernote, Napster, Oovoo, PageOnce, Roxio Now, and Zinio Reader), leaving Swype and adding LauncherPro, the Streak should be very fast and very responsive, especially when shutting it off.
can you test netflix?

yeah ive had it on my phone for a few hours....
ive been using 354 since it come out & streakdroid before that & i think 354 is great so i jumped on this when it come out
ive got to admit i havnt done a factory reset yet as i dont want to lose my setting (i might tonight when i dont need my phone)
EDIT
portrait pics
A very clean rom. Simple and fast.
I really like it and didn't find any problem as of this moment, phone works, GPS works.
Is that possible for add adhoc network support in the next version?
Thanks Spidla, keep up the good work
Seems pretty solid, the only issue I have, is after a reboot, it is seems to be stuck in Landscape and wont auto rotate on the home screen. When I eventually get it to go Portrait everything is fine. I cleared the program cache, fixed permissions and cleared the dalvic cache, but that didn't fix the issue. Apart from that all my apps restored fine with Titanium backup root (after installing busy box) and they all work OK, there has been no force close issues either. Great work, thanks

Been using this for an hour or so and must admit I am very happy with it. Feels very fast and I love the built in portrait lock and the battery percentage mod. I think this rom is a keeper !
To the person stuck in landscape, on boot up I go to settings and toggle auto rotate on, rotate to portrait and then toggle it back off. Seems to be working for me so far...
Only question I have is that I'm using this with an older baseband (351) is that going to cause me problems ? Seems ok so far.
Cheers,
malty
Wow...will try...thanks something to play with now

I love this rom and portrait lock ,Thanks friend.

351 isn't old. You'll be fine.
Posted with StreakZilla, using XDA App.
Works fabulous! As soon as I started the system, it felt so light and fast! I really like it! Good job! *thumbs up!*
EDIT: The only thing I don't like is that I can't uninstall Launcher Pro and buy the full version. I just can't uninstall. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: Nevermind, I install an Unlocker and now I've got the full version installed.
Thanks again for the ROM!

I'm having an issue with this ROM.. I factory reset everything, davlik empty, and clear the partition as well before installing, install the ROM, and factory reset again, reboot system.
Goes to Android load screen and then goes into regular android lock screen (portrait) and then back to the Android load screen, does it a couple times and then either freezes and I have to take out battery or just freezes at Android lock screen.
I am restored back to GingerStreak now. Any suggestions?
For a multi language rom use .351. I use it with Dutch language and it is great stuff
@OP Did you also optimize the build.prop?

Sounds like you have a boot loop.
Try to go by these steps (I did it that way)
1. Put .zip file into the root of SD card
2. Boot into Recovery (I'm using Clockwork)
3. Do a dalvik cache wipe
4. I didn't clear the partition.
5. Do a factory reset in the Clockwork recovery.
6. Choose the .zip and flash the ROM
7. When it says installation completed, choose the option ''Reboot Recovery'' and press VOL UP + VOL DOWN at the same time and keep holding the power button
8. You'll get to the Dell Factory Reset screen
9. Do a factory reset (NOT FROM THE RECOVERY)
10. Reboot automatically
11. Enjoy
Also, download the ROM file again, it might be corrupted.
- Hope it works out for you, it really is a great ROM.

Hi all,
Got a really weird problem with Z's FreeX10-Beta4.
I had FreeX10-Beta4 running for months (which runs great & smooth). Then couple weeks ago, decided to try J's CM7 (which also runs great & smooth, but battery drains too fast). So I reverted back to FreeX10. Around the same time, Z released xRecovery 1.0.0, which made the phone unable to boot and stuck at SE's logo.
To try to recover, I did:
- Flash 2.1.A.435 (Firmware w/ .54 BB) using FlashTool.
- Root using FlashTool.
- Manually installed xRecovery 0.3 using Root Explorer.
- Flash Beta4 w/ xRec
- Booted successfully, and rebooted by itself.
- Flash gapps and hotfix1 w/ xRec.
- Boot and everything works fine.
I installed all the craps such as Superpower and all other programs needed, and the phone works great, as long as it doesn't go into sleep (i believe). When woken up, all the Sync seems to fail, and causes FCs. Calendar, Phone, Contact, Market, Map, Doc, Music, etc... Any program from Google will cause FC.
I wonder if this has something to do with battery regulating program (SuperPower in my case) and Google Sync... Tho I have the same SuperPower program running before trying CM7. Doesn't make sense if there's compatibility issue between SuperPower and Google Sync...
Anybody has this issue? Any fix?
Thx!
try to go to the xrecover clean all factory condition probably is the second position in the main menu
wipe dalvik cash
(correct me if i wrong)
if not works sorry
Thanks for the input. Dalvik cache didn't do it. Tho I think I found the solution.
The root cause is the data within /sdcard/android/. After wiping that, seems to have solved the issue.
For those who have similar problem, if delete /sdcard/android doesn't work, try format SD instead.
Thx!

Hi, thanks for the rom! Silly question - how do I flash the .zip file? Do I have to rename it to update.zip and then install from sd card in the recovery mode?
No, you don't need to. You can use the recovery to install the file from any location.
I'd just like to let you know, DSP Manager works out-of-box on stock SE without replacing audio libs.

Thanks. I've managed to flash the new ROM. Get past the boot screen thinking all good until I get this message: "Sorry! The Application HTC_IME mod (process jonasl.img) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Force Close.
I've installed the compatible kernel so not sure what's gone wrong here.
All I can do is power down the device, no access to menus etc
Any advice please?
Seems like the keyboard is giving you flak. OP, did you test it?

You will get a FC on first boot with the HTC_IME mod. It's only because there is no data folder associated with it. It will FC and create it's own data

Hi, thanks for all the replies regarding this issue but reboot hasn't helped.
I've rebooted it about 5 times so it's not a first boot issue. I'll try leaving it running for a while, as you mentioned it might create the file structure etc.. will let you know how I get on.

OK, then do a test:
Try to write a message, must operate the keyboard htc after this test, restart the phone and you should not have more problems

Tried that mate, no joy I can't get no apps up, can get into the keyboard settings by holding one of the hard keys then selecting the settings icon.
Should I reflash the kernel perhaps and then reflash the ROM?

What I want to tell my friend, try to flash the kernel first and then flash the rom;-) I recommend you wipe the three usual
No luck I'm afraid, will keep exploring!
Quick question, will this rom work on a R800a?
Thanks, I have a little experience with flashing android phones and the iPhone. I don't have that much concrete knowledge of the "in's & out's" of the phone but I'm very good at following directions to the "T"...
Thank you very much. Looking forward to your rom
This is a more detailed edited version of how to install the Resurrection ROM by westcrip...
as have seen too many users that seem to be skipping parts or confused of the installation.
This is also for users like myself, who just started on this site and can't post on Development side to find their answers.
BACKUP your apps of course...but DO NOT backup system data.Repeat!! DO NOT BACKUP SYSTEM DATA. Restoring system data can give you some problems because if you don't know what you're doing, can accidentally replace something from the fixes that screws things up!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART-1
Rom Installation (you MUST follow these steps! )
**Go to recovery mode( Vol UP + Power+ Home and hold until the Samsung Galaxy screen comes on)
1- Wipe data / Factory reset then (can Wipe cache partition or go straight to)
Install ResurrectionV1.1_official_remix_ics_4.0.3_XXLPE_FULL-WiPE.zip
*if you did not Wipe cache, can go straight to install from cache...
but if you Wiped cache then you go to install from external SD card and install 1.0_CWM.zip (this will be touch version)...
then choose - install zip from sdcard. - choose zip from sdcard. Scroll down to Download folder and select ResurrectionV1.1_official_remix_ics_4.0.3_XXLPE_FULL-WiPE.zip.
Please wait a moment.
2-Install gapps_for_remix_v1.1.zip
3-Install gapps_fixer.zip then go back and go to Advanced.
4-Wipe dalvik cache (required)
and Fix permissions and go back to
5-Reboot system
(at this stage it may take a while for first bootup, because we have wiped cache. It needs to rebuild it, so don`t panic.
It may take a while *average around 3-5min before getting to Installing applications screen)
At this stage, boot to system and configure the phone (change language settings, etc).
When finished, again reboot into recovery and follow PART-2
PART-2 (required)
This part it's mandatory here are contained the language, theme, AOSP apps and the T9 dialer if you want it...
or use default. ONLY install one of these:
*note: you're in regular CWM using up and down volue + power button to enter.
If you want the touch - reinstall it like before.
1.- Install the SMSfixupdate-afterboot+T9 Dialler.zip
or
SMSfixupdate-afterboot+default remix dialler.zip
go back
2.- Reboot into system
After finishing the boot it's highly probably that you receive a force close from android phone.
It's normal and it's the only FC that you should get.
Enjoy!
**There is a RAM Manager Fix (When you open the Task Manager app, there's a section called RAM and a button to Clear Memory.
The fix enables that button again... for those not working).
Here is a mirror link for this and other files: RAM Manager Fix and others
PART-3 (optional)
*This can apply to many other files you want to flash.
If you want to install Siyah kernel:
Place Siyah-v3.0rc4-CWM.zip (or whichever version you're using) in the root of internal SDcard memory ("download" folder) and go to recovery mode (Vol Up + Power + Home).
Go to Install zip from SDCard... and select it.
Yes and install... Fix permissions... Reboot.
**battery issues with Siyah?
go to recovery
wipe dalvik
go to "kernel specific options" to reset them or other performance tweaks.
reset kernal
fix permission
reboot
**No more video player?
Get the VideoPlayer.apk file (*have to do a search for it now until I find another working link to it)
and copy it to system/app using something like Root Explorer
Reboot
Hope this helps. I'll edit this when I have time (usually busy with other projects).
*Version 1.2 is out now Check it here.
Good job
Tho make sure you spend a bit of time regularly checking the thread (depending on how much action the thread gets, obviously). Once you make threads like these people invariably ask questions & it's best if the person who detailed the method answers most of them.
Thank you sir.
I will give as much time as I can on this, when questions come up... and I'll be sure to keep up with bugs going on on original thread... though they will be updating this ROM soon to 4.0.4.
When that happens, guess will have to update this lol.
(oh no, what have I gotten myself into )
Language problem
Hello!
Thanks for the thread, really useful for noobs needing help to fix some problems.
I am a noob... and I have a problem.
Everything is working fine, battery is ok, no fc... but language seems to be messed up, I get my language (spanish) in almost all settings and menus, but dialer is invariably in english. Some contacts dialogs show this behaviour too.
Thank you very much in advance!
Thanx a lot, really useful...cant wait for 1.2
SMSafter-reboot is the only fix i needed to fix my dialer fcs issue, after a dalvik cache clean and permission fixing. That was the only way, if some1 has same issue.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Hi Miguel. The ROM is mostly for English and some language settings are off here and there. Mine too shows Chinese characters in some parts. I think this has to do with where the phone is originally from.
Version 1.2 will be out soon (based on 4.0.4) and should have more bugs fixed. I will see if there's anything can be done to help you with Spanish settings.
*glad it's helpful for you guys.
Thanks for a good simple guide.... it is getting pretty difficult to find answers with so many posts in the main thread.
Will you be making a similar step by step guide for ver 1.2 that should be out soon?
If it is needed I will. Will have to wait for it to come out and see if instructions changed. The process will be easier (after what westcrip said), not needing to add gapps fix, etc now I think.
Anyways, if I think needs more detail for newer users, I'll add a new thread for it and post a link here to it too.
Which dialler
I'm a true noob and I'm rooted with CWM installed and I'm giving serious consideration to this rom. My only question at this point is what are the differences btw the 2 diallers and do most folks prefer one over the other?
Hi tlmacson. It's a very good fast and smooth rom with good support. 1 dialer gives you T9 abilities... which means when you start dialing some number, it shows you contact(s) that much those numbers.
But there are some bugs in it not working for some, so recommended to install the default one and add some other app that does the same, or install T9 on after the default.
PS
If you want to give this ROM a try... the new 1.2 version will be out any moment which should have easier installation with hopefully less bugs ^^
I have been using it for a few weeks now. It has run really smooth, the only bugs are very small and do not effect the use of it daily.
I had a few problems with the dialler, so I installed exDialler. I actually prefer it, it has t9 searching and can be skinned to look like ics dialler.
I will definatly give ver 1.2 of the rom a try too.
Yes, that's the 3rd party app people like for T9 use: exDialer
It also allows you to give it black theme.
HELP!
Cyber i'm wondering if you did test the 1.2 PRO resurrection I want to upgrade to it but i don't know if it is a FULL WIPE or not because westscript didn't mention it also there are no GAPPS and FIXER within the thread can you please confirm for me this?
I think that I may just do that since I'm not having any real issues with the leaked "stock" XXLPQ. I appreciate your advice and dialer explanation.
nHorus - For v1.2 it works better if you do a full wipe Do a full wipe(factory reset+cache+dalvik cache), though you can try without it.. and just do the factory reset. Then install ROM and Siyah kernel and reboot to do initial setup. Then comeback to recovery mode and install navigation button fix and app themes, reboot.
Test
Thank you cyberboob.
I will try 1.2 and see how it goes, anyway I will install exDialer to fix my languages "problems" (it is not a dealbreaker but is disturbing seeing some dalogues in other language).
According to 1.2 changelog this version is promising.

thank you. i'll try without the wipes
Sorry.. a full wipe is needed again (or more bugs will be present).
Follow these steps:
Do a full wipe(factory reset+cache+dalvik cache)
Install the Main ROM
Install Siyah-v3.0.1-CWM.zip
Reboot
Do the initial setup of things
Go back to CWM and install navigation button fix
Reboot
Then go back to CWM and install app themes (there are some bugs, but if you want the black themes, then install classic first, then black)
Reboot
Some people have other issues after, but see how this goes.
I would change the DPI settings to 184 or 210 for everything to work fine from market apps.
*Also westcrip will post a new fix update for some new bugs reported by some users.

I know I'm showing my "noobness" but I thought that the kernel was part of the ROM; so how do I install the kernel after the ROM?
Same way you installed the main ROM.. go into recovery mode and select the folder you placed it in (usually internal sd card "download" folder) and flash it "yes". Fix permissions if want and reboot. Same with anything else you need to flash/CWM after/before.
This ROM features a stable enviroment [the most stable tested by me so far], with the least number of bugs (with 366BB), and probably one of the best performances.
Features: This ROM provides a default Portrait screen, it also has as the stock theme - TouchWizzedB (It looks like the Samsung ROM's, don;t know why i like it)
It features BeatsAudio, Bravia Engine and xLoud,
IIt provides a bootanimation and sound provided by Madhacker.
(if the bootsound is not on and you really want it, enter in terminal enablebootsound)
It also provides as the default launcher - GO Launcher Ex.
You can add [highlight]software[/highlight] capacitive buttons in the taskbar - thanks to nom051205 < Zip below
It was tweaked for daily use.
Skype has not been fully fixed, but i found a workaround, after rebooting, call someone, or a number like 444 then close, it should work, tested multiple times and it worked, i'm going to try and make a script to get rid of this step. (sometimes it works without doing a thing, so i think it is about luck )
Also, skype seems to leave the speaker on after singning out creating a huge battery drain, if you experience this kind of issue please remove your Skype and install this one, then go to advanced settings (in skype) > sound settings > disable sign-in/out sounds and Force speaker off after calls.
With those workarounds provided above, you should have a seamless experience with Skype..
FAQ:Q: Does it have USSD fix/Gapps/Phoenix Kernel?
Yes
Q: Is the WiFi stable?
With 366BB i have no problems with WiFi stability.
Q: Do i have to do a full factory reset if i come from other CM7 ROM?
No, just wipe dalvik cache, full factory reset is a must if you come from DSC/FroYo/Official 2.3.3.
Q: How do i flash 366BB?
You put your device in Fastboot, connect the USB and use a tool provided here or here.
Q: I can't install the ROM! Installation Aborted! (yeah, yeah, this is not a question..)
Open the zip file then you will see a folder, go into the folder, select all (meta.inf; system; boot.img) and re-zip those files and name it LXdroid 0.x.zip then flash it.
Credits to nom051205 for using his post almost copy-paste.
Q: What's wrong with Swype? It just FC's?
Install it manually, this should do the trick, you can find swype.apk in a link below.
Bootsound/Bootanimation Script Commands
Terminal commands for scripts:
enablebootsound - enables bootsound
bootsoundoff - turns bootsound off
bootsoundon - turns bootsound on after being turned off
newbootsound - /sdcard/android_audio.mp3 is copied as new bootsound
newbootanim - /sdcard/bootnanimation.zip is copied as new boot animation
(Probably you need to type su before those scripts, just saying...)
Credits go here.
Note: This is my first ROM, feedbacks and head-ups/tips would be welcomed in order to tweak it further.

Hotfixes for LXdroid 0.2 for Autobrightness FC and xLoud and Bravia permissions found here!
Quick tutorial aka Roadmap to a Custom ROM -Download ADB/Fastboot tools + Drivers from here. (You need to install the drivers before you begin).
-Download MultiRecoveryFlasher from here.
-Download MultiBasebandFlasher from here or download dsp and baseband flasher by n0p and StreakOwner from here.
-Download a custom ROM like DSC (most stable in my opinion), Longhorn or, the one provided here.
Now let's get started for real!
1-Install the drivers.
2-Put your streak in fastboot by turning the phone off and after that powering on by holding down volume + power button.
3-Open MultiRecoveryFlasher and flash StreakMod recovery. Reboot.
4-Put your streak again in fastboot.
5-Open MultiBasebandFlasher and flash 366BB or the script provided alternatively (does the job all by itself ). Reboot.
6-Enter Recovery by turning the phone off and then powering on holding up volume + down volume + power button.
7-Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on Sd Card"
8-A Dell logo and an attention will appear, press power button once to show the menu.
9-Hit advanced to mount sdcard via PC, so the SD card will appear in you PC via recovery.
10-Copy the ROM you downloaded to the sdcard (preferably to root).
11-Hit back in recovery, choose install sdcard updade.zip, then choose zip from sdcard, browse for your zip, and hit the camera button then select yes.
12-After the installation is completed, hit back to the main screen of the recovery, and choose wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then choose advanced, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery status.
13-(It is recommended to reboot again and do a factory reset from the dell recovery, White Letters)
14-The system will take some time to boot up, but you are done, enjoy your custom ROM.-------------------------------In my opinion the fastest and easiest way to get a custom ROM--------------------------------------------------

You can see the CPU settings, freq's and governors but you can't change them from the CM settings, i've included AnTuTu CPU Master Free in the ROM, and the locksreen it works fine on Ring and Lense, Rotary and Sliding Tab are small and aligned to the left. so i would say that no, it doesn't have them fixed as i didn't needed them, but maybe i will look into it.
Personally i use Ring Style at lockscreen and dial screen, with one ring only at lock and the default Freqs (128-998 mhz , Conservative).

You can use alternative software, as i mentioned, there is SetCPU or CPU Master Free, and CPU Master doesn't stay always on in RAM and you can set it to Set frequencies on boot
I think that CM frequiencies support must be added from the kernel, so i don't think i can do something about it

Hello!
I like the ROM!
Only the Longhorn 2.9.1 Quadrant 2300 points for that!
The LXdroid only 0.1 points in 1408.
Well, it's a huge difference.
Test Battery, but the IGO primo 9 to be strong!
This looks like a very fast everything works properly (from my experience it!)

I made this ROM without testing Quadrant,i never trusted that benchmark , i tested with AnTuTu Benchmark and it is not a big difference from Longhorn to LXdroid, i still need to tweak something more, but the overall feel is smooth as butter in my experience and the battery life is just great for me.

Hi, I would like to tell you my series of unfortunate events.
I was on Stock Android Rom with my International s3.
Yesterday i got bored and i installed Revolution Hd Rom (32). It was awesome! i liked 4.2 and i liked that it was stable/fast.
My main concern WAS the stability and speed about roms. And Revolution was flawless.
So while i was setting up my phone, i did something HORRIBLE!
I was trying to install Jobnik's slow mo camera app with cwm. But stupidly i tried to flash it like a rom (Used app to reboot and install rom.)
So my device was stuck on boot. (on samsung logo)
- I tried to wipe cache
- Tried to wipe cache + dalvik cache
- Tried to wipe cache + dalvik cache + factory data reset+user data wipe (a little problem there though, all of my files were still there.)
And nothing helped.
I give up.
I was lucky, i had the rom image on my sd card root. So i flashed it again. Installed with aroma. And ta-dah! My phone was back!
SOO here comes my problem;
- Now my rom is so slow! I have some flickering issues too. When i first installed i've selected some tweaks. (build.prop, sqlite and seeder.)
Second time i didn't.
Now i don't want to flash my rom AGAIN
Is there any way for me to get those tweaks again. OR even is that possible those tweaks were THAT important.
My phone feels like **** now. Please point me towards somewhere.
I've installed Watchdog and there are no apps that hogs my cpu. So i think my performance issue lies somewhere else.
- Note: My account is new, so i couldn't posted to the rom's thread. (Also couldn't able to find an Official Q&A thread.)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
I was poking around and i found out if i disable HW Overlay from Developer options flickering issue goes away and it "seems" like i have less lag.
But what i've read about this option tells me to not disable it because HW overlay is good for performance & battery. Should i disable it. Or does my ROM requires HW to be disableD?
