It does not require connecting to a PC. Here is the link to the tutorial; http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13900137&postcount=1
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
Thank you, I shall try that and hopefully not brick my streak.

As far as installing a ROM, any other ideas, advice, links? I like to read as much as possible to be well informed before I do anything.

[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
Thank you. Seems as I'll be home later tonight so I'll be able to try and at least root the streak tonight. I hope it goes well.
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
ok so i rooted my streak 7 tonight. wasnt so bad i used gingerbreak.

now i need to modify the supplicant file in order to tether my iphone to my streak via wifi. i found all the info and the files, but i dont know how to "flash the zip in recovery" i read through some 16 pages and still cant figure it out. can any one point me to a step by step on how to apply the patch? or just write it out step by step? i am getting the hang of this stuff but i dont know enough and dont want to mess up my streak and not be able to use it all via wifi.

thank you again guys, you are a big help to a newb
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
ok i think i figured out how to do it:

1: changed zip file name to update.zip

2. moved to sd card

3. opened up clockwork recovery

4. ran rom up date of said zip file

5. asked to make back up

6. rebooted in recovery mode

7. dont know if it worked??

8. still wont see my iphone using mywi for tethering

again any help would be great guys. thanks

wpa fix

You don't need to do any of that....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970219

You are rooted. All you have to do is use any file explorer which allows writing to root and copy this file to /system/ bin (back up your old one by renaming it to wpa_supplicant.old first. Restart wifi by going into settings and uncheck / recheck the box. You can now tether :)

The file is a zip. Extract the wpa_supplicant file from it and copy......not the whole zip itself...just the extracted file
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
Wow and I thought about copying the files. But I kept reading about "running" a patch, so I thought I had to let the script do something. Thank you very much for your link! I will try it hopefully tonight when I get home from working.
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
ok i am trying what you posted pyraxiate, but i cant seems to rename the files? i have tried both es file explorer and android file explorer.
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
ok i dont think my root went through. i re-read that the gingerbreak has to be on the devise and i had it on the sd card. problem is i cant get the gingerbreak apk to the eternal memory of the devise. my computer is only 32 bit and the adb files wont work on 32 bit, only 64 bit. so it seems i am stuck until i find a computer with an OS other than vista! damn it, unless some one has solution guess i am stuck unrooted for now
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Do yourself a favor and use the super1click via tether to a laptop. Its easy. Install the drivers they give. Also I bought root explorer. Well worth it!

Also you can use the xp32 bit driver. It worked for me.

That's how I did mine
[Dell Streak 7] csheppard93:
If you have the gingerbreak.apk on the SD card use a file manager and install it. Then open in in the app drawer and click root. The device will reboot if it worked. Might take a few minutes and look like it froze.

[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
Thing is I emailed it to myself and it still saved it to the sd card part, even though I removed my sd card?? I did the gingerbreak and it did reboot, I also did the clockwork recovery. I still don't know if it worked? Seems as though I try and rename the wpa files and I'm not allowed, does this mean that it isn't rooted?
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
I know es file explorer wont work for root. You need a root file explorer. Also, it would be a good idea to download a rom ( either streakdroid or custom 2.2.2), put it on the internal storage, and try booting into cwr to flash it. You boot cwr by powering the streak off first. Hold volume up in and push / hold power. You will get a recovery boot menu. From there choose update from zip ( this is where cwr is) and cwr should boot. From there follow guides to wipe data / cache / delvik and then go to install a file from zip. Choose the rom zip ...sit back...and relax as it flashes to a fully rooted rom :)

Hope that helps!!
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
I will give this a try. Do you have a suggestion on a good, possibly free file explorer that will work to rename and move the files I need for the wpa mods that I am trying to do? I am hesitant to do a full rom change as I am afraid I will brick my DS7? I have never done this and don't want to cause more problems than solutions. My need for now is to get the mywi to tether for Internet and gps access while on the go. The fancy stuff I will work on slowly. Thanks for your replies, I just hope you don't tire of answering my newb questions. :)
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Hi again :)

Its no trouble at all. Sadly im unaware of any free explorers to read / write root. Ill do some looking for you though. As far as bricking the streak goes, its near impossible to break it completely. If anything, test to see if cwr will load for you. Im assuming you downloaded Rom manager via market and installed the latest clockwork recovery for the streak 7. If so, test by rebooting into recovery and apply update via zip. If it works you will see a black screen with orange menus. We can easily guide you along from there once you get that far. There are definite advantages performance wise to using a custom rom. Im using the custom 2.2.2 because I need bluetooth more than overclocking capabilities for now. I did try streakdroid and oh boy was freakin fast. Over 3k in quadrant scores ( more than DOUBLE the score from a stock rom!!!!) Also, custom roms remove all of the factory junk.... makes a huge difference in free space / speed immediately.

Edit : try this file explorer. Does it ask for root permissions on your streak? If so you should be good to go!!

Tested it.... you have to go into its settings and enable root. It appears to work :)

https://market.android.com/details?id=xcxin.filexpert
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
it asked for permission to collect data? is that what you mean by root permissions?
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
No. Go into its settings. There is an option to enable root. After u click it, superuser will pop up asking root permissions. Click Allow. If you are properly rooted, you can now copy and paste the wpa file! :)
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
it said it was granted permission to root, is that good?
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Yup. Try to copy the wpa_supplicant file into /system/bin. Rename the original to wpa_supplicant.old just to back it up first. If you can rename it then your root took.
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
I am going to that today as soon as I can get to a computer are read the tutorial one more time and down load the correct wpa zip. I'm on my iPhone using tapatalk right now. Thank you for your help.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
ES File Explorer works great as a root explorer. You have to go into the settings and do two things: change the root folder for file exploring (change it to /) and enable mounting the system as read/writable. I believe both are under "root options."

ES File Explorer is one of the best, free apps you can get. Happy exploring.
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
That's great to know LOL. I've always just download it just to install root explorer with :-) Maybe I can make do just with ES !
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
wow you guys are awesome!! it's working perfectly. no wi can surf the web via my iphone tethered connection! you guys rock!

now i will move on to bigger and more advanced things. like removing the t-mob settings that drain my battery. hope i can do that easier than this.
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Hard part is finished :-D. The rest is easy from here. Good luck !
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
pyraxiate, do you have any info on the custom rom you are running? is that the name of it "custom" or did you make it? i want some kewl stuff on my ds7 now. its awesome that i am figuring this stuff out with your help
[Dell Streak 7] csheppard93:
Under the streak7 forums we have custom 2.2.2, streakdroid, and honeystreak. I use streakdroid no bt but I really love the speed

Sent from my Synergy Rom
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Head over to the Android development thread for the streak 7. There are only 3 roms really to choose from. The one I use is called "custom 2.2.2" . Id absolutely use streakdroid 1.3 but I need my bluetooth keyboard. If you don't use bluetooth go that route. You can push the streak to a stable 1.4 ghz. It will fly. Otherwise, if you want a stock rom but clean go for the one I'm using. It has no overclock but everything works without a hitch. No oem junk and has a nice black icon notification bar. You will need to use a different launcher though. Easy to do. Just install from market :)

PERSONALLY I use vtl launcher from xda ;) tons of features. Pick one and ill walk you through setting it up :)
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
Ok I think I will have to with the custom 2.2.2, I also need Bluetooth for connectivity. I will try and download everything I need later today when I get home from work. I also need to figure out a way to hook up to a computer, maybe my wife will let me use her laptop as I have had no luck connecting to my pc running vista. Are there any known fixes? I can't run the abd, I think that's what it's called, files because I am on a 32 bit system and it requires a 64 bit to load the required system resources. Unless I am over complicating thing as is usually the case.

If possibly can you tell me more about the "launcher" that is needed and why it is I need one? I remember launchers from years ago but since I've been an iPhone user all that is null.
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
The beauty of clockwork recovery is that you can dowload the rom to internal storage and boot cwr from recovery . No desktop needed :)

Also,

A launcher is just the homescreen user interface. You just download and install from market.
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
I have a question about downloading to the internal memory. When I downloaded the gingerbreak, it put it in the "sd card" folder. I had removed my sd card to be sure it went into the internal memory, what did I do wrong? Is there a way to change the default download destination folder?

The whole CWR thing has me confused. I tried the power/vol up and I don't think I get what you are saying as far as screen info. I don't have my streak here, i left it charging, to test out. I will have access to it later so maybe I can test it out.
[Dell Streak 7] waxworkz:
hey pyraxiate, if you have time i'd like to try the custom 2.2.2 rom update. i'll be on and off all day. if you can send me a PM and i'll jump on. thanks

[HD2 General] foney:
I recently tried repairing a friends HD2, because he had a smashed screen.

I bought the new screen and some 2mm double sided tape. Took the phone apart, and managed to see the lcd was damaged also. Bought one of those then taped the new screen and lcd together using the tape.

The inner chassis had all the old tape on it still, so I bought a new inner chassis. Waited for it, then stuck the new lcd / digitizer to it. The button end didnt seem to stick down that well - even with the new chassis, with the buttons wanting to drop out, and them not sitting out of the screen like they should.

I thought it must be due to the phone only partially assembled, so went ahead and installed the rest of the phone.

Now its together the button end of the phone wont sit in the shell properly and the buttons seem to be lower than they should...

How am i supposed to get this inner chassis to stick properly, and are there any tips or vids to show how its supposed to sit?

thanks.
[HD2 General] Schakel:
maybe this video can help you with assembling your phone.

Search on youtube for t8Q7mXdcJ54.
[HD2 General] foney:
Ive watched that video numerous times, and its a little misleading as to how much is required. Extra tape in places that had to be cut and removed, labels not sticking back down like they do in the video etc.

Im after information as to how people stuck the lcd/digitizer to the inner chassis. I used a new inner chassis with tape pre applied, and it still didnt seem to stick the two things together enough. When you stick the chassis (with lcd/digitizer) into the outer case, it doesnt sit into the case enough, and the buttons are not sitting right.
[HD2 General] kew1701:
If u have purchased lcd with digitizer,u could look for flat cable that connects from lcd to mbo,maybe u need to form it.buttons have points to allign,but u need to center both sides in micrometer to function normal.lcd/digitizer frame must have black tape on edges.
[HD2 General] foney:
Please explain? Not sure what u mean by "form it"

done this and still no luck
[HD2 General] l0rdius:
I have the same problem like foney!

See this:

argh, i can't post my photos! how to do it now, i don't have 8 posts yet!

I've used "3M 300LSE" as a profesional doublesided tape i thought and also put a 2mm stripe below the keyboard, but the display is not really fixed onto the chassi around the keyboard and the keys also can't be used really, because they are maybe not correct centered onto the keyboard circuit board. i've been using the assembly video from htc, but there it's not mentionend very well, how to do it right.
[HD2 General] kew1701:
Hmm,last thing i can think is that lcd/digitizer is not properly glued/taped.Did u put pressure for few hours on lcd/digitizer and middle frame?
[HD2 General] foney:
it is taped on around the lcd using 2mm 3M double sided tape. The chassis i bought new, with tape included. When you stick the lcd/digi to the chassis, it appears that the button end, as l0rdius mentioned, isnt stuck down enough.

The video has the guy "magically" sticking it all together and all going together as it should, but doesnt show any real detail, like showing how things go together to fit properly.

edit/ pulled the phone apart again, and its definitely a case of the tape on the chassis near the buttons not sticking correctly. Ive wrapped it in rubber bands, and used some wooden clothes pegs to try to secure the two better. If it doesnt stick, then I may have to use something stronger than tape, like Tarzans Grip
[HD2 General] l0rdius:
I've found another thread, in which "profahmad" posted some hints:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640328&page=8

Today i've ordered some more 3M 300LSE and want to take a new try on weekend with these hints. Hope i get the display better glued to the chassis and the buttons correctly justified.

Whats about the sticker under the battery. do you guys have problems reassembling it again and again? Or how do you handle it?
[HD2 General] foney:
Im using glue like in the link if applying pressure for a day or two doesnt work.

I applied a little double sided tape under it, then when i left the phone for a few days with the battery in it seemed to stick down fairly well. Not like factory new, but good enough.

My microsd card became corrupt today, and I had to format it. When I go to a previously bought game (Let's Golf 2) from the Xperia Play games launcher, it says I have to purchase it again, and asks for a payment method. This is also the case for Rainbow Six. Any ideas how I can get these to download again?

Edit: My bad, it's on the My Account page of their mobile interface.
[Xperia Play General] Geeve:
You buy mobile games?
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
None of my games show up on my account page on their website.

I purchased nearly all of them then reformated my phone and lost them all. Only Asphalt 6 shows up.

I emailed their customer support who got back to me and said if they dont show up, re-email them and they will fix it.

I didnt bother though. Once you complete most games you kind of get bored with them anyway.

But yea, for most people you can re-download stuff via your account page.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albert emmer:
i check my tab for storage size and saw the total size is 13gb.

my tab is 16gb version.

is it normal? is it the rom or system partition that took that much space?

i noticed it on stock honeycomb also after upgrade to touchwiz.

im not sure if both rom need same space size.

anyone with answer?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taransworld:
You are correct...

You are correct, the missing space has gone to other partition. There is a total of 16 partition(2-17) each taking space for their special function. Some of these functions include the system recovery partition(8), The boot partition(9), the /system partition(10), and the cache partition(11).

Besides the space you see on your "sdcard" you also have space in the /system folder for when you install apps.

Hope this helps...

Is there a way to change the 4 shortcuts on the lockscreen? You'd think there'd be a way to change them.
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
You have to be using Rosie as your launcher to do so. You go to personalize and then to the lockscreen option. Then from their you can click the tab one the bottom to replace the shortcuts. There ya go. You're welcome.

As they said: menu-personalize-lockscreen-settings-click the icon to change-click the icon to replace-apply settings.

Done.
[HTC Sensation] Psionicsin:
Ok so the thing that's bonky is that I have a ROM that's striped of Sense except for a couple things. Therefore we can't alter the lockscreen through the "Personalize" menu.

Is there a way to either wipe all the shortcuts off of there, or alter it via other means?

Nope, you need the sense menus to do it.
[Xoom General] brd922001:
My 3G Xoom is my first android device. With help from all the great developers I have been able to root. I am currently on Launchpad 1.3 gemini which I love. I do want to get the update to 3.2 but now I am confused as to what to do.

I have read that Launchpad has teamed up with Tiamat. My question is there going to be some Kernal that will allow the 3g users to get 3.2? Tiamat is coming out with all these updates I feel that maybe I am behind. Do I need to just wait?
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
The newest Tiamat Roms do indeed support the 3G Xooms. Launchpad 1.3 is a kernel for the Xoom, not a custom Rom. It sounds like you are on the stock 3.1 Rom with the Launchpad kernel. Follow the steps I have provided, and follow what the quote below states if you want know a little more additional info.

Step 1: Back up all apps with their data via the Titanium Backup app. Reboot into recovery. Wipe data. Install Tiamat 1.1 Rom:

Titanium Backup on the market

Tiamat 1.1 (HC 3.1)

Step 2: Wipe data again. Install Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead Rom:

Tiamat 2.1 (HC 3.2)

Step 3: Restore all apps with their data via Titanium Backup.

Step 4: (Optional): Install the overclocked GPU Tiamat kernel:

Tiamat "Tachi" OC GPU kernel (HC 3.2)

From there you should be ready to go with your new Tiamat Honeycomb 3.2 Rom!

And if you need any additional help, let me know, or you can post your question in the appropriate thread that you are having the problem with in the links I have provided above. They are the official Tiamat threads.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
On edit, I see that Team Tiamat has labeled their Manta Ray rom obsolete, so I guess the progression should be directly fromTiamat Rom 1.1 (for HC3.1) to Hammerhead Rom 2.1. Just load these files onto your sdcard, get into recovery , wipe/factory reset, flash 1.1, reboot, get back to recovery, wipe/factory reset, flash 2.1, reboot and hopefully Win1!

Does that sound about right? Oh and the tachi kernel (non-oc gpu) is included with the 2.1 Hammerhead Rom, but you can flash the oc gpu version over the rom if you like.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Sounds right! And yeah, I was going to tell him to skip the Manta Ray Rom completely and go straight to Hammerhead, which is why I put optional in parenthesis, I was debating that. ;)

I'll do some editing for him. Make it one nice post. Thanks, like always! :)

I bump into you a whole lot here on the Xoom topics. Lol.
[Xoom General] playya:
Just so you know you can still flash the Launchpad kernel again when you load up the new Tiamat rom
