if you want to upgrade to gb... you really need to understand fully of what to do next... or you will in trouble if something goes wrong... like other newbies here... they all just wanted to upgrade without doing some proper reading and understanding... and then come here crying...

I have done it before on other phone just on the ds it seems a whole lot differant to me I put jellybean on my lil boys phone yesterday was just for me to play with tho lol. I just seem to have a lot of force closes on froyo so thought gb would be a bit better

The first think to do is read all the sticky posts on Streak 5 Android Development thread, next you choose the rom and read the instructions. Every rom has there on instructions. I use MIUI 2.4.20 for about 1 month with no major problems.

On my Dell Axim 51v, flashing ROMs was a completely simple matter; no special 'root' access needed, you just load the ROM onto the SD card then boot to recovery and flash it, done. I loved Windows Mobile for that.
On the Android platform it's a nightmare of complicated steps dependent on other steps, including the installation of various different programs on your Streak and your PC. I hate Android for that.

If you have a stock recovery, it's the same steps: you put the pkg on the root of the sd card and boot into recovery and flash it.
No special 'root' access needed.

CyanogenMod 6.1 Alpha 1

Ok folks, i know this has been a hell of a long time coming and its not perfect at all yet but i thought id put it out as an alpha for people to play with
Whats working:
WiFi
Bluetooth
3G/GSM
Calls in theory (cant test)
3d & hardware acceleration
once flashed you should head to settings>display and TURN OFF auto rotate as it does not work properly currently
the device is locked into landscape orientation at moment though so easy enough to use
download link : http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/streakcm.zip
requirements:
baseband from streakdroid 1.2+ or official froyo
remember to factory reset on first boot or it will likely crash
also i am aware the boot animation is the wrong way but this does not effect anything
cheers folks and enjoy
Please feel free to donate to my work if you find it useful - any amount is appreciated

OMG Steve you are the man. Would love to help test out, but unfortunately my Streak is my only phone. Made a small donation on Cyanogen the other day for this. Once you get a stable running, ill definetly be donating to you again. Dont know where you find the time to make all this happen, but keep up the great work. Cheers

Wow Steve... just plain wow. You go man. Time to tinker with this new hotness.
LED lights staying on
found an app to turn the lights off (it literally turns them off, all or nothing style) but its better than having them on all the time! you can also switch them back on anytime.
it took along time to find an app that works so i hope you guys find it useful too
http://www.appbrain.com/app/covedesi...ovedesign.devs
as the app is free in the market anyway i've attached the apk too
What is so special about this rom.I used it before on my n1. It was nice, but couldn't rememeber anything special about it

[Q] scamble_v01.3 mod/rom market problem

I just flashed to rendeiro2005's froyo mod located here. Before I had the paypal app running no problem using freex10 2.1 rom. now i cant find paypal on my phone in market and from my computer all I get is that its not compatible with my phone.
Is anyone else having this problem? I have BB54.
Other than that I have no problems with it and love it. Its just that I use paypal alot for my company and really need it on the go without all the web login hassle.
I dont use paypal and i cant find it either. I am running the same ROM. I am trying to get it another way and will try to post if for u if its not paid. I love the ROM too.
Update: i looked on the android market website on the computer and it says not compatible for device so it looks like u cant get paypal. Unless u switch ROMS. I find this quite weird. Sorry to tell u bad news

I have a same question, I could not find out the stock rom in Vibrant Bible, the build name is T959UVKB5, anyone help me!
Yeah stay away from Kies, hard bricked me, had to riff box recover.
I was looking for stock 2.2 recently too, hard to find most links didn't work.
Is there any specific reason you need stock? Most 2.2 roms now are plenty stable.

I just came from trigger cm7 14. Didnt like the battery drain and missed my GPS and wifi calling.
I LOVE the blazers! I live in Vanc and work in Portland. You think Oden will do well? Either way im glad rudy is gone
Yeah im gonna wait until stable cm7 comes out before I try it again
Yeah barring a long lockout, next season very dependent on oden. If he plays decent I see blazers doing very well

[Q] Anyone have a copy of Axura 2.3.1.3?

Okay, so first, I apologize for having to post this here, but as I have less than ten posts, I'm unable to post in the Axura thread (which is probably for the best, as it's long dead).
I've tried a number of different ROMs in the last few months, but none have worked better for me than the last version of Axura. Regrettably, I'm unable to find my copy now that I'm ready to reflash, and devsforandroid (not to mention devsdeposit) are down, so I'm having a hell of a time finding it.
I'm hoping one of you can come to my rescue and point me in the direction of a working download. I greatly appreciate it!
Any Luck?
Looking for this too, did you have any luck running it down?
Not yet, but the new version of ZenDroid has done me very well in the meantime, and it's still supported.

Axura was awesome!
I am now running the version of axura that you posted. The flying animations are amazing. I put the immortality 2.2 kenrnel in it and its fully working thanks again and now I'm even more excited to find the newest version
Can someone post the Axura 2310VE again? I would really appreciate it.
Have you tried any new roms such as Deranged 9 RC2? Its amazing

Cannot connect to camera error

Please help.. Cannot access my dell streak camera app. It says cannot connect to camera. What should I do.. Desperately needs advise.
What rom are you on?
It might be fixable by going to the camera app properties and clearing it's data.
If that doesnt work, you could try the more drastic step of doing a fac reset.
I had faced this issue when I tweaked build.prop for addressing compatibility issues in play store. Edited back to original values to solve the problem.
Not sure this is the case with you?

Stop posting the same kind of issues. I already have a thread same like this one. It makes the moderators delete same concerns. And I believe people here are just pretenders. No one seem to know what the fix for this problem is. They dont know a thing. So its useless asking these guys for help when all they teach you are basic junk troubleshooting steps. Unhelpful!

tbh.. we cant really help you because the phone itself is physically not at us... so.. what we told here is pretty much what we have encounter and solved... also not all problem can be solved here... sometimes the device really need to be sent to the phone specialist.. and not here... so right now the most effective way is to sent the phone to the shop that know streak 5...
The best way is flash stock 407 olleh, flash dsc, flash longhorn, and cm7. If you still cannot connect to camera then you can sure that it hardware issue not the rom. Those above rom has camera working very well.

Thanks Bro. Thats what I am talking about. I've done 407, dsc, longhorn and cm7 and back now to dsc. I think I will then conclude this is a HW problem. Some say it may be a Flex issue.
Once you flash a new rom, it's 100% a HW problem and not software.
I think I know whats wrong with my camera.. When I read my logcat it says there's no preview frame layout. Please help where will I get it?
