i don't recommend anyone to install the froyo yet.. as we are kinda far without easy access for rma / warranty purpose.. although it's almost impossible to permanently brick android devices, but who knows luck might not be on our side this time

they are working hard on it so i bet the more stable and safer version is just around the corner~!

got my 2nd streak and seems like its fine..~ the 1st unit a bit troublesome tho.. but still can bear with it..

okay... so actually it is the first unit has the problem? 2nd unit can't reproduce the same problem is it?

any idea why can i buy this Streak in Malaysia?

I assume that you are asking where?

So far, only Bro Irwan and ct-trade are selling the device in LYN... if you are saying physical store, then sorry I dunno already...

Yea.. so far tested so much the 2nd 1 seems ok.. only the first unit having some problems..

Dont tell me back cover that comes off easily

You need to press and slide the back cover right up to the edge, if not it will come off easily. I find this a design flaw. Another design weakness is the location of the connector , right at the middle of the left side, it would be more practical if it is located at bottom

i also dunno how to explain.. the back cover wont come off easily but i put it in my pocket it will either restarts or shut down. When i press the back Dell logo part a bit too hard the phone restarts(this is solved now by folding a piece of paper slightly thick and place it on the battery before putting on the battery cover.)

Sometimes after it restarts or shut down, it detect no battery/less than 15% available. Have to take out the battery and put it back in again so it will go back normal.

Finally cannot resist the urge, I upgraded to ver 2.1 ( build 6941) : what a fantastic increase in performance . Every action and scrolling is very much faster.

any problems with the 2.1 so far?

using 6941 .... so far so good except the home screen is giving a bit of a problem , widget not working so get a launcher like ADW launcher , solved the problem ....... i got problem with 8105 b4

I am using adwlauncher too. Did not even know there were issues with widget
On default homescreen. So far do not face any serious disturbing issue with
this build 6941. It is a good worthwhile upgrad
I have increased the system font size as I find default too small. It is s paid app font size

seems the widget doesnt really work the default screen due to its resolution ......try retro clock , apndroid , etc ...... and u will notice it not working .....6941 is definately good ....suprisingly , beta version is better than the official ....8105 which was said to be not as good as 6941 and buggy

uh huh? I do not know the build number for the official, but if i remember correctly, it seems even O2 doesn't recommend Streakers to upgrade to official 2.1 at the moment also due to all the buggies from the upgrade

8105 is the official and yes , its buggy like shit ....... suprisingly , the beta version is so much better

*forgot 2 mention , 6941 is the beta*

A fellow forumer has told me that he'd tried 8105 and is highly NOT recommended. He suggested I use build 6941

I will try later a baked version of Paul's build R2 based on 8105 available HERE

Now on 3rd day using build 6941 - still didn't notice any bugs yet. I noted that using ADW Launcher as default launcher, tthe screen scrolling is not so smooth vs default launcher. I still prefer ADW as I prefer the portrait mode as default mode. Turn the phone and Switching to landscape when need arise is instant

Definately , I was running 8105 b4 changing to 6941 ..... Scrolling is buggy even in the menu . keep getting stuck then move again ..... thats the most turnoff , have yet 2 tried it out more but decided enough is enough , reflash to 6941

oh ya , when u said u tried the R2 , to dl , did u pay for it ? I tried to dl b4 for my other phones , seems the online kitchen is only available to paying members .....

Added on October 4, 2010, 9:35 amOh ya , I totally forgot to mention this ...... There is a way to fix the laggy official 2.1 , 8105 and also our 6941....... seems DELL made a mistake and someone found it and posted a solution for it . My ADW got no laggy issues like u mentioned , tx to this ...Give it a try

This have already been mentioned but it seems many people are still unaware that the lag that many of us have seen in the 2.1 builds is due to one line in the build.prop file!

The line by default is: debug.sf.hw=0 - it should be debug.sf.hw=1

This option controls the way the OS renders the UI! (hw=0) Uses the CPU to render the UI and (hw=1) Uses the GPU to render the UI! The original 1.6 builds for the Streak have this option to (1) and by some crazy reason the 2.1 builds (including Modaco's r2) have this to (0)! This is why you think that the Build is slow!
Change the line in build.prop (located in /system/ ) with "Root Explorer" (requires root) and restart! Now the UI will be smooth as silk!

Just an Edit! This is not my discovery! I have just made this thread to make this more visible!

honestly i didnt really notice any difference in that mod..

but so far with MCR r2 which is base on baseband 8105, i dont have any major bug. the speed is considers smooth, opening application is as fast as it should be, all widgets are working fine (but i cant update twitter application from market, or else the twitter widget won't load)..

i never tried any 2.1 rom so i cant say how good is this R2 compared to other o2 official, or beta rom.. but i have no problem to recommend u guys to update to this rom if u find android 1.6 is somehow put limitation on ur Streak.

Thanks for the tip

I am a paid member on Modaco forum and it gives me the flexibility to use his online kitchen. Just pay once and you can use all his roms on all the gadgets he had develop roms for. Is worth every sen for guys like me who frequently change gadgets and like to experiment with new roms
