A.Launcher Option : Users may now select their default Launcher of choice before installation. The options available are LauncherPro, ADW, Stage UI and GingerBread Launcher. GingerBread launcher is installed by default if nothing is chosen.

B.Pixel/LCD Density : Default LCD Density can be set during Installation. Values available for selection are : 120,140,180,200 and 240 DPI. also for densitys of 200 or higher a modifed contacts and phone app are installed to allow correct functionality

1.1 > INSTALLATION HOW TO

A. You will need to create a text file on your Streak's MicroSD Card. The file can be created in your Text Editor of choice ( such as Notepad ).

B.This file will be called 'install.txt' - Ensure that this is the exact syntax and that the file is saved with a '.txt' suffix.

C.This file must be saved in the root of the sd card.

E.Inside this text file, you may type each option that you select on a separate line. All the options available to you are listed below. Here is an example :

adwlauncher

[crashDebug]

thank you man! (i just wish to add a quick heads up: most apps will show as "not compatible" with your phone in the android market (both web interface and new 3.x app) if you specify an LCD density different than 160 or 240 - keep that in mind!)

 

[gostl]

Looks good. Up and running - I'll report back within the next days. Thanks Steve!

 

[amf]

Thanks Steve!

EDIT:

No more FCs except for the mail/Exchange app-- hope you can do something about it in the next release.

 

[johnnyPPK]

probably because it is 2.3.3 customly enhanced for use with streak5. thusly it's name is Gingerstreak 2.4.4. due to the many changes DJ-steve and Fards made within the firmware..

 

[angelerikz]

another awesome creation

How much you can overclock and remain stable will depend on your CPU. Some can be overclocked more than others.

Made a donation. Hope it'll help. Your roms are really fast. Only the lack of stability is what need to be reduced - I already had two LC's on 2.4.3 for 1 day. Will try this now.

 

[bugmenotacc]

down, flashed... any definite word if the V6 script will/won't work with this ROM?

 

[prudviraj]

Nope, no need to do so.

[prudviraj]

Install.txt tweek doesnt seem to work.. any ideas Guys?

I placed the install.txt with density140 no swype as per the instructions in the root of SDcard. Installed multiple times but couldn't get it to work.
Any ideas greatly appreciated..

*****
Hilarious.. the problem is i am actually naming it as install.txt.txt and since the extension of the file type is hidden i did not realize it untill i watched it closely.. Everything seems to work fine...
Thanks for all the suggestions

Thanks,
Raj

Be sure your install.txt actually has the options saved in it. I made an install.txt in Linux and each time I opened the file it was empty. Used Windows and everything worked fine. You used noswype and not no swype, right?
