[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
It's a bit misleading as dell will bump the internal version identifier with each new rom that they udpate. Even if the apk itself has had no real changes.

I usually recommend 351 as it has StageUI 1.6

351 and 364: StageUI 1.6

All other froyo roms: StageUI 1.5

They put the newest stuff in 351, and stuff that was made after used older code. StageUI is just the really obvious/easy to spot difference. I'd imagine there's other changes under the hood.

You could compare it similarly to: Fresh install of windows 7 RTM vs a fully patched copy of windows XP SP3. The win7 is a bit older as it launched over a year ago and xp is still recieving patches. But obviously win7 is still the newer of the two even if you use the year old unpatched version.

As for carhome itself: I dont know what's going on with the 2 apks vs 1 apk. It seems like older versions required 2 apks, 1 is the car home app itself, and one is the launcher shortcut that appears in the app drawer.

The one in 351 seems to combine both of them into a single apk. As my current rom only has the carhome.apk i linked to and not the other one, and it works correctly with no issues.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
I posted the comparison to show which apps are included in one and not the other. I would bet that most of the differences in the apps that are in both are due to customization for the region.

First, get ready for people bombarding you with posts that you're posting this int eh wrong section. Just post in the Q&A next time.

But to answer your question, it's never going to happen. Possible maybe, but no one is even attempting it so you're outa luck on that one. But you can always use the Windows 7 Launcher. It replicates the Metro UI look in W7.

It's in the market.

Hey guys. I finally rooted and installed CM7 latest nightly. I do miss the stock music and video players which have DTS support. Does anyone know where I can get these? And if/how I can I install them in CM7?

Also is my g2x still Divx ceritified with CM7? Not sure if it because of hardware or software. Thanks very much guys.

I made a backup of the OTA in case I really miss them.

Thanks.

I posted this under development, as I feel that the greatest wealth of knowledge is here. If it should be moved, I will be glad to move it to the appropriate forum.

My colleague and I are writing a program to encrypt SMS using the RSA protocol. The program will be available to the XDA Community and is nearing completion (deadline in one week). The UI front-end uses WebView, and the RSA back-end uses Python. Regardless.

Our problem comes in the form of communicating the keys. A peer-to-peer protocol would be ideal, and setting up a server is impractical. Even a method to associate a phone through a network address would be helpful. If anybody has any ideas, please post below.

All contributions will be recognized through comments in the code! =)

Hope the developer would continue on this project.

It would be great if he can make it full screen ex if the phone was in landscape mode then the image on the pc screen would go into landscape orientation also then we can maximize it to fill the screen of our pc.

It's just a bit laggy but if the speed can be improved we can play our games on our pc monitors instead of using the somewhat blurry tv out.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

But it wont change into landscape orientation though.

The window can be enlarged by dragging on the right bottom corner.

Just wish we can change the orientation and the frame rate speed can be improved.

I tried playing spiderman total mayhem, what looked flawless on the wave's tiny screen actually looks dated on a big 26 inch screen lolz!

[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Hello all...... I've had my Streak 5 about a month now, and I REALLY think it's the best all-in-one device I've EVER owned (that covers alot of ground)... Like others, I've noticed how the screen/LCD "ripples" around the edges, even under very light pressure. According to what I've read, this could be due to too much pressure being exerted on the underlying LCD.... I guess the Streak is too thin, and the LCD is too close to the glass screen. My question to everyone is this: What's the hands-down, best "hard" case for the Streak (something that will alleviate undo stress on the screen)? Thanks all!! / Steve H.
[Streak 5 General] RussianSolja:
Go with outterbox cases. They are the best! I got the outterbox defender. It adds ALOT of protection to the phone but it also makes it VERY bulky. It doubles the size of the phone but I don't mind it. I rather be safe then sorry. But like I said if you want a good case alot of people on here go with the outterbox cases. Hope that helps.
[Streak 5 General] donalgodon:
Ditto the Otterbox.

Go for the commuter model.
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
Thanks all

Thanks for the advice ...... I tried the "cheaper" OtterBox (the black rubber model), but I don't think it provides any stiffness/rigidity to the gizmo..... in fact it might actually cause more flexing due to the added weight placed on the Streak? Does the "Commuter" model have some kind of framework to relieve stresses? Thanks again
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Great Otterbox case overview at Streaksmart.

I tried them all and ended up keeping the Commuter.

I went with the Defender. If I had anything less my Streak would be toast by now. I originally bought the Commuter and returned it the same day for the Defender. Yes it adds bulk to an already enormous phone but it's worth it.

Tips:

You can use the abort() command to step through your updater script, for instance if you wanted to check various combinations on syntax for write_raw_image();

In /tmp there is a text file called recovery.log, do a cat /tmp/recovery.log to see extra output of your script from failed commands.

Thanks for this... but I do have a question....

I am attempting to see if busybox is installed on a device, and if not install it, or proceed

so, so far I have:

ifelse(
BUSYBOX DOESNT EXIST,
(
ui_print("* Did not find it. Installing...");
set_perm(0, 1000, 0755, "/system/xbin/busybox");
symlink("/system/xbin/busybox", "/system/bin/busybox");
run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "--install", "-s", "/system/xbin");
),
(
ui_print("* Found it. Proceeding...");
)
);

You can see where I'm lost :) I was thinking of using assert to run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "vi", "/system/xbin"); just as a simple check... but from what I can see, if the assertion fails it will stop the script, and print out the failure message, which of course is not what I am after here... or maybe I am, can it be used to do a check rather than stop the script?​
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] kpirnie:
trying to run that in adb sheel, and don't get a response, but it does seem like a good idea... I assume Edify would return a 1/0 or true/false string from it, and I can just check for that?

EDIT: Maybe I do get something back... after running that in adb shell my next line looks like the following:

1|root@jflte:/ #

Am I right in assuming that "1" is the output?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Yes. The command won't ever return any output, it only returns the exit status. Your shell is obviously set so it includes a non-zero exit status in the prompt. (Non-zero traditionally means error.)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kpirnie:
that prompt means that the test failed, and I don't have busybox installed?

I'm just a tad confused... (this is my first full-on edify script), and I do have busybox installed :)

I appreciate the help, and once I get my tapatalk working right on my phone, I'll give ya all the "thanks" for the help with this :)

Eh... everything I 'test' returns the same thing

1|root@jflte:/ #
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Hm, weird. It works for me...

# /system/bin/sh -c 'test -e /system/xbin/busybox'; echo $?
0 [color=silver]<-- no error - file exists[/color]
# /system/bin/sh -c 'test -e /system/xbin/busybox1'; echo $?
1 [color=silver]<-- error - file does not exist[/color]

I didn't try it in an edify script because I don't feel like rebooting my phone right now, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Try running the "sh -c test ..." command in adb shell while in recovery and see what happens.

Also, just a side note: backslash is NOT the same as slash. If you are going to write shell/edify scripts, you need to know at least that distinction. That is why your

tags are not working right.[/b][/i][/size]

published API docs

I found some official documentation of the API on the Android Web site here:

https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/inside_packages.html

I didn't do a line by line comparison between your description and theirs, but I noticed this part because I was trying to find information about these functions. Only write_raw_image() is a published API function. This is the description:

write_raw_image(filename_or_blob, partition)

Writes the image in filename_or_blob to the MTD partition. filename_or_blob can be a string naming a local file or a blob-valued argument containing the data to write. To copy a file from the OTA package to a partition, use: write_raw_image(package_extract_file("zip_filename"), "partition_name");​

Probably write_firmware_image() is used internally. It could be removed at any time, or it even could be a stub - not a good idea to use it.

I have installed A7Comb rom which mostly does a good job. The biggest problem is that external sdcard and usb are inaccessible. If I choose to go back to 3.01 where I had this capability, access to external sdcard is required to flash the old rom. Am I screwed or are there any other alternatives?

im not positive, but if i remember correctly you have access to the external sd (using Root Explorer or something like it) there is /Mnt/sdcard check in there im not sure the exact directory, but im pretty sure it was in there when i was using A7comb, then you can copy and paste the update.zip to the root of the sd

I reloaded my copy of A7Comb and will play around with it to see if I run into the same issue. If the SD can't be used, it

may

be possible to connect via USB/ADB and push the stock images.

However, I have never used ADB with the A7, only with other devices. I will also try and figure that out to see if that's a viable option. Will need to find the drivers and get those loaded. Been meaning to test ADB with this device anyway.

I'll do what I can, I'm no expert, but I am very comfortable with ADB and have no concerns about messing with my A7. I've been meaning to do this for a while anyway. Will probably take me a few days to get get the A7 connected to ADB as its USB port doesn't play nice, and there are some tricks to getting windows/ADB to pick up the device. I'm also gonna try and lookup Dexter to see if he can give me some tips on doing this.
[A7 General] ooorah:
I used ADB last March and rooted my CRUZ 7" tablet. Whether it will work with a usb connection to eLocity A7 will have to be tried. I'll play around to see if I can get it working. If I get that far I'll have to wait for further instructions.

ps I can use a usb keyboard with no problem. ooorah
[A7 General] DANOinSD:
Yeah, keyboards, thumb drives, etc. should all work as the A7’s USB slot is set to host mode by default. The trick is flipping the switch to slave/device mode so we can use ADB to communicate with it.

Dexter’s A7Comb Rom had an App “OTG” for doing this (with a reboot), but when I tried it out, my Windows 7 box only saw the device but still didn’t fully communicate with it (ADB didn’t see it at all). Most likely due to the lack of a driver, or rather telling it where the driver was.

I’ve got some info on doing this, and I plan on trying to get this up and going tonight. Once I get ADB connected to the A7, I would think we should be able to push a new recovery image or something along those lines to fix whatever happened with the SD Card.

Just curious, have you tried a factory reset, data wipe, etc. (then reboot back into recovery), and tried to run the update.zip from the SD Card. I doubt this will work, but the A7 re-writes the recovery image with each update, therefore if something got corrupted, perhaps a wipe will fix whatever is broken in recovery by way of re-writing it. I’m not sure if recovery gets replaced with just a data wipe/reset, but if you don’t mind resetting your device it might be worth a shot.
[A7 General] DANOinSD:
Another option

This would probably work too, although I have not tried this out.

I've done the factory reset several times always with the same no good results.

I found an app "usb-otg that allows the usb status to change from host to device. After I ran it and rebooted I connected the usb cables and windows started asking for a Nvidia Harmony driver. That may be related to your alternate approach.
