Ok I've tested the dsc hdmi tool with QuickPic and the "send to framebuffer app".

As described in my last post, enabling/disabling the hdmi connection with the dsc hdmi tool somehow interferes with the hdmi on/off state of the stock apps or the streak in general. So this time I've got no log, because I had to try a lot to get the "right" order where to first activate hdmi.

Besides that hdmi output via QuickPic doesn't work, but works as always with the stock gallery app. However, Pictures viewed in QuickPic (and the stock gallery app) can be transmitted via hdmi with the "send to framebuffer" app. I tried this with videos too, but the send to framebuffer app only integrates in the share menu for pictures, not in the one for videos.

So, besides the hdmi function, there seems to be a "framebuffer" function already integrated in the stock gallery app (don't know how it works with audio though). At least that's what I think with my limited knowledge ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Very useful info, thank you.

It looks in driver that hdmi driver is locked to 1280x720 18bpp.

Dunno, if it could be changed on the fly.

Next, we have to find a way to make Android use fb1 for primary display. Or mirror primary to hdmi.

I retired with all the streak and got the exact error while transfering the files via bluetooth. As soon as we select a file to transfer it gives an error " This phone cant handle this type of content." . I have tried pairing the phone and even without pairing but it doesnt work.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Hm. I wish i could test it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Its not a big issue as the bluetooth works with other phones. The only issue is that he being my manager whenever he needs some work related file or be it any app or the dsc update i have to either send him an email or use the cable to trasnfer the file to the laptop and then again connect his streak to transfer on his....rather than transferring it via bluetooth.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Kartikaye, I personally didn't use bt transfer for quite long time. Prefer gDocs and corporate shares to collaborative work. But anyway i'd like to solve this issue. Time to dig out my old SE and check Streak bt logs.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Even I rarely use bluetooth but when the need arises it becomes and issue so then have to rely on emailing which becomes a pain on an EDGE network. 3G here is too costly. By SE do u mean sony ericsson ? if that is the case then i dont think it would be as issue as the problem is only when its between 2 streaks running DSC rom.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I understand that, but I need something to at least filter logs with :) So any logged transfer would do.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Sergei how far does the logcat go... if i use the app alogcat to take out the log wud it contain the log regarding the BT trasnfer that i tried to do almost 12 hours back. if that would work then i can email you the log where i tried to trasnfer the file but got an error.

Have emailed you the logcat... one the verbose and the second filtered as error. Hope those help.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
Hi _n0p_ I just hit a bit of a snag - my streak doesn't find it's GPS. z-device test does not detect it.

DSC 1.1 I'm goint to revert to 1.0 to see what will happen.

On 1.0 GPS is present and working!
[Streak 5 Android Development] arleybarros:
Is something with the undervolting, etc.

Here's what works for me:

dpi - 160

video - gpu

orientation - landscape

leds - on

vibrate - off

wifi - normal

wifi fixer - off

tweaks - on

uv - on

dexopt - hunderteins

fps - 55

clear dalvik cache.

PS: if you get a gray connection with 3G DATA, just delete apn settings and add again, or just load default configurations again.

hope it helps.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Have you wiped dalvik-cache?

I'm absolutely sure nothing GPS-related was changed.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Didn't find anything BT related there, will check myself how transfers could be logged.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
I clear all caches after every patch. And I just needed the GPS today. Google Maps FCs as all GPS related apps (GPS Status works but shows no GPS).
[Streak 5 Android Development] zAm1987:
I had a similar problem with the gps shortly after upgrading to 1.0.

What actually helped, was pulling out the battery and waiting for a few minutes. After that the problem never came back. Clearing cache and the usual tips didn't work for me... :confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
The battery trick did the work ... thank you ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] zAm1987:
No problem ;)

Sometimes I really start to think that the "battery trick" can fix everything on our streaks :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] rvbarton:
I took the plunge on this, and it looks great. I dont' see my Google Play store though. Is there a google apps pkg that needs to be flashed? If not, how do I get my Play store so I can download & install my apps?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
After you flash the rom you wont see google play directly but there would be an icon for market. once you open market it will then give you the terms and conditions for google play and once you accept those it will then convert the market icon to google play.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
_n0p_ can I give you a bad, bad idea: can you make bash the default shell?

Oh... and now my ADB doesn't want to find my phone ...
[Streak 5 Android Development] ak1978:
I've used ROM CM7, now I want to use DSC but after flashing, restar continously, please help me
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I suggest Factory Reset in both Dell menu and StreakMod (StreakMod factory reset first).
[Streak 5 Android Development] ak1978:
thanks n0p, I've tried them all but failed :-((. just come to bootscreen then pending then restar again & again
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
logcat should give a clear answer on this case.
[Streak 5 Android Development] arleybarros:
Using DSC in 240 DPI brings 2 problems: gallery and dialler. i tested some apks and at least gallery can be fixed using the attached apk.

can be used in any dpi config.

now i'm looking for a contacts.apk that can be used to solve the dialler.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ak1978:
Dear n0p,

Thanks for your considering in advance
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Attach doesn't contain the log itself.

Here's how to do it right:

Connect Streak to PC.

In cmd, issue

adb logcat

You should see a lot of output lines.

After Steaak have rebooted, press Ctrl-C, then issue

adb logcat -d >mylog.txt

It will be big, zip it and send me via e-mail or try to attach here.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
i am using 120 DPI and the same issue happens the dialer is half cut in the landscape mode, portrait mode is fine. Gallery also is messed up but as gallery is too slow i have frozen the gallery. I tried finding a fix for the dialer for 120 dpi but none availble.
[Streak 5 Android Development] arleybarros:
I'm going to try this later:

[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I think it would be nice to have HDPI and LDPI themes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] arleybarros:
that gallery3d i posted works great in 160-240 dpi, and i took it from CM7. I tried to take the contacts.apk from there, but i think is not as simple as replace the apk.

i'll keep trying.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
It would be best to work on stock Gallery, as it has HDMI support.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
The stock gallery works extremely slow for me. Everytime i open up the gallery it doesnt display any pictures but shows loading new albums and photos and doesnt load anything. keeping it for like 10 min or so it loads some pictures but once the gallery is exited and if i again go back into it, it does the same. i use quickpic which loads everything in a flash.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I use QuickPic too, but we need to maintain full stock functionality if anyone needs it.

My bad - i've lost fullpin PDMI connector I planned to solder own dock with (it's hard to keep little things with my little daugher around :)) , so I need to get another one.
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
You might try Clearing the Data from the app. It helped speed it up for me in the past.

Settings\applications\manage applications\all\Gallery- Clear Data
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
I have tried all that but still no luck, i think its maybe because of the lcd density. Mine is set to 120 cause that way i can properly use the 5 inch screen. I feel any density above the 110 or 120 is actually a waste of screenspace as such a big screen and no proper work space.

---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

Sergei in the DS Config for the LCD Density there is an option for custom but it doesnt work. If I enter any value apart from the ones in the list it doesnt take it and I have to end up rebooting the phone twice.

I have my screen set to LCD density 120 so if I have to make any changes in DS Config settings ( for example fps or wifi etc ) I cant directly save the settings as it gives an error message for invalid lcd density. In order to have those settings take affect I have to change the lcd density in DS Config to 140 or any other from the list. The phone then reboots saving the settings and then I have to use the dpi changer software to again change the density back to 120 and then it requires a reboot again.

Can the DS Config software be tweaked so it can accept the custom densities also rather than only using the ones in the list.
[Streak 5 Android Development] arleybarros:
Sorry, you are right. i like stock things too.

well, turns out that i dont heave enough knowledge to do that multidpi tutorial. sorry again.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ak1978:

When does Streak exactly restart?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Arabic support.

First take.

I've took Arabic lang resources from StreakDroid.

Here's a pack of additionally localized framework/apps:

http://n0p.8bit.fm/streak/updDSCv1.2-test.zip

--

First glance shows that one lang needs additional font support - even with added fonts from StreakDroid and i'm unsure of RIL.

Edit: Looks like missing lang table is Hindi.

Sergei.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Lucifer4obg:
Is this going to be a LANG update?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
And it will require some work.

But i've just started, so may create something new :)

Hey, i've just recieved 4800 test unit battery from Mugen Power!

Time to test my work myself! :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
Sergei,

Which device has most similar hardware with DS 5?(Acer liquid E?)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Cool .. enjoy the power of Mugen 4800... I am currently testing different interpolations so as to get the exact reporting as currently the reporting is off as compared to the battery monitor widget which calculates on mV value. it starts as the same values however soon the battery monitor widget shows a lesser value than the percentage by the system. You can test that app its the battery monitor by simmo. If you do not find it on market then let me know i will upload the apk.

Sergei if I edit the post boot script to keep the cpu at 1344000 performance governor would this cause any negative impact. I have kept the UV disabled and currently the cpu is at 1190 performance governor, I do have started to notice some lag on this rom update . Dont know if it is the UV or something else. Moreover one more issue I have noticed is that if I keep the fps at 55 I can see the screen flickering when scrolling sideways or up and down.

Also please take a look at the attached screenshot , what i want to know is what values would be good here and would it help speed up the streak if i check the box for oom kill allocating task
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Thanks Sergei , now i am succesfully set on 110 LCD density using DSconfig. Loving the more workspace and smaller font.. :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Rocker19943:
Hi Sergei! :)

I wonder if this Mauhen power configuration can help me to save some battery charged for more time?

If yes, please advice me some values :)

Thanks.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
sinan33, i dunno.

I think hardware-wise it's close to Nexus One.

--

Kartikaye, the only concern on overclock is stability.

--

Rocker19943, if you using stock battery you might check reference values i've published in the tool post.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
So,can't we use the drivers from Nexus One for ICS and develop the hPa's CM9?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
I would (but i won't :)) by building clean CM9 as is and checking what is working and what is not.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Mugen Power 4800 at first glance.

So :)

Mugen Power battery microreview from noob.

--

Pros:

It has weight.

Provides decent grip.

Battery life should be three times better than stock.

Still fits in pocket.

Again, plastic cover has hice finish.

Spare cover included.

Cons:

Big - it makes Streak quite "fat".

You won't be able to pull out external SD without removing battery first.

"Camera side" print on cover - seriously. Who would be dumb enough?

--

Fist charge actually took a bit more then 3 hours (judging by "charger state - terminated" message in log).

Anyway, left it on charger till morning.

Now - about 5 hours of my normal usage - have 92% left.

And (almost forgot) - found a rounding bug in percent calculation (sorry), staring at unending 100%. I should multiply fist operand, not divide second.

Fixed.

Kernel:

http://n0p.8bit.fm/streak/DSC_Phoenix-U.zip
[Streak 5 Android Development] arleybarros:
you mean build clean CM9 to Nexus One then test?

is possible to use a already built like this one?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557606
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Maybe, but I don't have much time for that.

Android consist of three levels:

Kernel. Check, Phoenix can be used (take the CM7 one)

Libs. Uncertain. Especially ones, that interfaces hardware. Again, ICS could expect different exports from the libs.

Framework. Should work, but with some limitations.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
I can't find where to put CM7 kernel in this rom,everything works ok when flashing it saw all hard and soft buttons but it didn't boot :( i guess if we can locate the kernel,it will boot.

Libs:I downloaded the hPa's dev files,he was already developed the libs and framework.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Dude_Virus:
Sergei u need to keep the battery on charge for atleast 7 hourz for it to completely charge. And as per mugen the initial 5 charges should be 8 hrs each plus u need to drain it all the way to 0 and then charge it. Also were u able to look at those options in the screenshot I attached

wtf? this is the second time i try to flash this rom on a new microsd (mine was bricked, so i changed it). i flashed stock 406 with its recovery and then dsc. the first installation went well, but when i installed the update 1.1 the sd crashed again. so i bought a new one, hoping this time was better. i did the same things (but using stock 360 instead of 406, and using flashmebeforeinstalling) but another sd crashed.

i'm sorry to say that, but for the moment i don't want to risk another sd, so i change rom, hoping in a future better (for me) update.

Issue with magnetic field sensor / compass

I have just installed DSC 1.1 and most thinks are running very well. Only the magnetic field sensor / compass does not work. The magnetic field reading tested with smart tools is always zero and the compass is frozen. The history of the phone: coming from the latest official European Froyo ROM with working compass, I have installed DSC 1.1. Due the not working compass, I have installed the Latest Olleh ROM. First, the compass does not work, but I could reactivate it by a calibration using the tool GPS-Status. After that, I have again flashed DSC 1.1. Again the compass does not work. Unfortunately, now a calibration with GPS-Status is not able to reactivate the compass. Since I am often outdoor active, ideas how to get a working compass would be very helpful.
[Streak 5 Android Development] trunks10k:
Yes I do because when I uninstall the chainfire driver it works again and nvaigation app reappears on my home screen

Keeping the phone on 1344 performance governor eats up a little battery however it is quite stable , havent had any random freezes or reboots. There are some lags while playing some games , i need to figure out whether it is due to the undervolting i have kept as off or the driver type.

way to flash dsc 1.0 + update 1.1

hi everybody. i'm here to ask you to tell me if my way flashing this rom + update is correct or not.

1. on a new internal microsd flash stock 360 + recovery.

2. flash "flashmebeforeinstalling" given by dsc team via fastboot

3. wipe data, cache and dalvik cache with streaksmod recovery

4. flash dsc 1.0 with streakmod and reboot

5. do a factory reset with dell recovery

6. wait to first boot and reboot

7. once rebooted, go in streakmod recovery and flash update 1.1

8. wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot

9. use dell streak with dsc 1.1

i'm asking help because trying to flash the update i've already bricked 2 internal microsd, but i can't understand by myself what is my error so, please, help me
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Fastest way -

Manual flashing instructions:

Find and download 407 Olleh ROM and corresponding recovery.

Rename 407 .pkg to update.pkg. Rename 407 recovery to recovery407.img

Get StreakMod recovery. Rename StreakMod recovery to recoverysm.img

Put recovery407.img and recoverysm.img to folder with your fastboot tools.

Download DSCv1.0.zip.

Download latest update - updDSCv1.1.zip.

Connect Streak to PC.

Copy update.pkg, DSCv1.0.zip and latest DSC update to SD card of your Streak.

Reboot. When Dell logo appears, press and hold Camera button. Select FASTBOOT.

Issue this commands using Windows command console (cmd.exe) - you should do a "cd PATH_TO_FASTBOOT_TOOLS%" first.

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery407.img
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Don't close the command line.

Streak will reboot, now on Dell logo press and hold both volume buttons.

Select "2. Update...". Be patient while 407 ROM is flashing. Note that volume buttons are used as cursor arrows and Camera button as Confirm.

After 407 ROM is installed, Streak will reboot. Press and hold Camera button again when Dell logo appears. Select FASTBOOT.

Issue this commands using Windows command console.

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recoverysm.img
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot

Streak will reboot, now on Dell logo press and hold both volume buttons (this time we have StreakMod recovery installed).

Select "2. Update...". StreakMod recovery will boot.

Flash DSCv1.0.zip.

Flash latest update (updDSCv1.1.zip).

Reboot, on Dell logo press and hold both volume buttons. This time select "1. Factory reset"

i bought only sandisk microsds. using it on the pc it recognize a moreless 250 MB partition, and the other space it tell me corrupted, because there isn't any filesystem. i tried also with gparted live and a similar tool for windows, but everything i tried, even if the program says everything ok, nothing change on the sd, so it 's unusable. it happened because, after the update, the streak stuck at dell logo even for an hour, so i pulled out the battery.

i'm a bit worried, but i think tomorrow i'll try on another sd to install dsc.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Use the "clean all" command in diskpart and wipe it clean then reformat it
[Streak 5 Android Development] _2bad4u_:
What size is the micro sd card that got damaged, i have a 4 Gb sd card kingstone with 10 class speed and i pull out the battery like 50 times because the streak was not responding. And i never had any problem, and i still have the original 2 Gb micro with the original software.
[Streak 5 Android Development] p_razzi:
So ... I decided I needed WiFi after getting a 3GB warning from AT&T and having my connection slowed to a crawl ...

I went back to the beginning and flashed Olleh and recovery as per the 'manual' instructions, with 1.0 and then 1.1, and a factory reset.

It worked - for a while, maybe a few hours. Now it's the same, I have to reboot to switch between 3G and WiFi.

So the next step is to reformat the SD card and try again, in case there is something on the card that's causing it.

My question, unless someone now has a solution (I've had a couple of people PM me with the same issue so not just me), what's the best way to prepare the SD card? Can I just erase the content through a USB connection to a PC, should I format it through a PC connection, should I erase or format on the device ... ?

UPDATE: So Google is my buddy: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?docid=401209#Issue4

I will update on whether this ultimately works for me.

UPDATE: It made no difference. Erased SD card, 1.0 install, 1.1 install, factory reset. 3G connection good, started WiFi, connected to WiFi - no connection. Disconnect WiFi back to a 3G signal: working. What else can I try?!
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
p_razzi, i don't think formatting SD would help.

I suspect some Android cache could cause this issue, as i personally wasn't able to reproduce it.
