Yup, got that already in place for 5.0.2, don't know why it was missed, its in my CM10 build but I guess snargledorf missed it or was trying to figure something out. I haven't had a chance to flash 5.0.2 on my own device and do a test yet.

MTP....still trying to figure out write permissions.

I was up late last night on virtual machines trying to figure out some cross-domain ISA2006 server configurations for school homework and then doing some Amazon EC2 AMI server configurations for my company AND I have work at the college this morning, so getting frustrated that I haven't had time to focus on 5.0.2
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
Any logcat for MTP issue?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
LOL, didn't think of that. Pretty sure its just a matter of setting permissions correctly in init.streak7.rc
[Dell Streak 7] kenny513:
great work guys one question was the radio posted a while back true or just a lie???:good:
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I don't have a 4G model to test.
[Dell Streak 7] iboware:
I'll try that 3g fix on my device.
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
LOL i have !! 2 !! internal SD in settings -> memory :D
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
@giveen

Maybe add this line : write /sys/module/cpuidle/parameters/lp2_in_idle 0

to init.streak7.rc

More battery life.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I'll have to check to see if that is in the kernel before I write a line in.

Battery life is much better now.

Connected to wifi, and told it to not hold onto wifi while sleeping = 8 hours later 42% battery left. With Beta 5.0.1, you can see that the Andorid OS is still getting battery power, now I see it has activated the "Android Idle" mode.

Probably will tweak the power_profile some more to see how low I can go without compromising performance or cuase it to not boot at all,lol.
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
Yes, is in kernel.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
added sdcard_oem daemon back in, and now internal storage is no longer showing in MTP, will remove.

MTP still has no write permissions.

Someone do me a favor:

in CWR do a "fix permissions" and then try MTP for me.
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
Maybe problem with init.streak7.usb.rc config?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
That doesn't do permissions, that tells operating system how to match it against drivers.
[Dell Streak 7] joeclark:
which fix and did it work?
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
Ok, I try now fix permissions.

Write not work.

E/MtpServer(252)

got unsupported command UNKNOWN

This is the error.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Thanks. I am starting to think kernel.

Battery life is 2 hours on WiFi, with no sleep mode, 78% = 10% battery every hour. This is without me telling WiFi to shut off when in sleep mode.
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
It would be easier to use UMS method?

Greetings
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
If that was working, yes.

Made some drastic changes to the kernel, and found out a lot of errors I notice and why they triggered. MTP wasn't really working because NTFS wasn't enabled, plust a bunch of other changes.
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
Good News :)
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
Giveen, why B4 use 0% at 8 h.?

Maybe need see and copy something from B4?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yup. Plan on flashing b4 this weekend and looking at power_profile.XML
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
I unpack framework-Res.apk tomorrow and power_profile.xml is same like in B5...
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
Kernel problem or lib problem?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah, thats weird.

Battery life appears to be better with my 5.0.2 build. I undid a lot of changes that snargledorf did and I am seeing how things are running before I release a 5.0.1a build which will just be battery life enhancements while I still figure out storage.
[Dell Streak 7] amccue:
Think you're so special with your 5.0.2 build...

I feel like Oliver Twist begging for scraps

Just teasing. thanks for putting in the work
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
My plan is to release 5.0.1a tomorrow. It should be a battery life fix and that is about it.
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
Beta 5.0.1

Can't install apps from market...

I get error: "Can't install on USB or SDcard"
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
You do mean renamed, Google Play Store don't you? I have no problem with that.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Was going to do a release today but it didn't happen.

Trying to figure out what the heck happened. Did a build yesterday with lots of kernel stuff turned back on, it booted.

Made a couple storage changes, compiled, no boot. Same stinkin kernel. So now I need to go back, revert all kernel changes, and slowly add them back in, good thing is boot.img takes about 2 minutes to compile and 10 seconds to flash.
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
Nope. I think its storage issue...

Many apps trying install to sdcard as default i think its same issue like with mtp...
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
What market are you refering to then? Do you mean the physical external sdcard? B5 had the storage issue where one couldn't download a file because the path was \sdcard\download\ which wasn't there but that was fixed in B5.0.1. Youtube app is funny as Titainum has a problem restoring it, it hangs. Above my knowledge really but it seems to download as a user app but gets moved to system apps.
[Dell Streak 7] datfat:
I had the same issue trying to download x-planes 9 on 5.0.1, it will say "can't download to sd card or internal". It's not the store itself just certain apps. That is the only app I have come across something far.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Not always possible but if you can download it directly from another source as opposed to installing it from a store and just install using a file manager.
[Dell Streak 7] datfat:
I flash my cwr backup from stock 514 and saved the app with a backup app(ultimate backup), it would restore but would not load it didn't even give me icons for it. I still looking at other ideas.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Okay I did get it to side load from sd card using app explorer.
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
wptski, I not nub in android and know what i do ;)

datfat

Problem solved!

In terminal:

pm set-Install-Location 1

su

pm set-Install-Location 1

Reboot

also i edit string in vold.fstab about sdcard - set mount point to data/media (i have custom partition layout)

Apps install exept Drift mania 2 - they just crash play market app if I try download it.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I know your not a a nub but I;m not much past being a complete nub myself. Android's method of naming has always been confusing to me at least. You say sdcard but in its file naming system /sdcard/ is internal memory and /sdcard2/ is an external SD card using ES File Explorer. The recovery system, SD card means external. One/other, both CWM/TWRP uses the term external sdcard.

I was simply asking what you meant.
[Dell Streak 7] 1Rus1Fantom:
Lost in the instructions...

Hi guys, i have a bit problem, what should i do if i have stock HC with twrp recovery, but NO root?

I tried flashing file from dhost, but it got stuck on boot screen, so i decided to flash boot.img and nothing changed, what im doing wrong?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
You should be using Superuser7 to root. You won't see anything different till you use a app like ES File Explorer which has a root checkbox in its setup and it's checked. The next time you use the app, you'll see a alert that it has superuser permissions.
[Dell Streak 7] 1Rus1Fantom:
Well, im not that noob as it looks, i know what is superuser .

Just one thing - i dont own streak, im trying to help my friend.

Why do i need to root it? Can i install this rom, like any other? Before any operations streak was running official Dell HC.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
No, you don't have to root just some apps will have more features with it. Follow the instructions in the first post in this thread to install and it includes SuperUser7.
[Dell Streak 7] 1Rus1Fantom:
Well, thats my problem! I followed instrucrions and streak just hangs at boot logo.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
If you used the Fastboot method, did you use "system.img -w"? If not, it'll hang, it did for me on the first try because "-w" does a wipe.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Heh guys, sorry been out of touch, life has been busy.

So here is what is up.

1. Several builds were not booting up, leading me back to original kernel defconfig, building now to test

2. Developing some changes to my CM10 build, my goal is to provide easy switching between CM9 and CM10 by putting CM10 on the same partition layout. I'm sure this is an easy thing to do, and should just be a matter of a couple changes to the defconfig

3. Working on a new tutorial video that will demonstrate how to flash via fastboot as this my perfered method of doing things.

4. Trying to finish setting up my Google Adsense account so the advertisements on my videos will pay for my new processor some day.
[Dell Streak 7] autonami:
i just want to say, this is probably the most stable android rom ive ever used. (b4) been running it for about a week now, with absolutely no issues what so ever.

i havent flashed b5 yet. mostly b/c im content with b4. and partly b/c i dont know how with fastboot lol...

i was wondering though, is the brightness issue fixed in b5?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yes, it was. Auto brightness may not necesarily work...haven't tested it. BUT sliding brightness bar back and forth will work.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I am looking into setting up an old server I have lying around for rom development, surely a VPN connection or something of the like would allow you to make use of 4x xeon quad cores that are in it
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:

App is still crashing as you can see, but I'm extremely along the way for camera. I am talking to another dev and hopefully will get some answers.
[Dell Streak 7] amccue:
You want the truth!!??!! You can't handle the TRUTH!!!

Sorry been anxiously waiting for a new build to try out, and if you get the camera packed in with it that would be awesome. Nice work :good:
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Here is where I am having difficulty

Powering on the camera, I need the correct /sys/device stuff

// File to control camera power
#define CAMERA_POWER "/sys/devices/platform/shuttle-pm-camera/power_on"

namespace android {

char videodevice[64];

bool CameraHardware::PowerOn()
{
LOGD("CameraHardware::PowerOn: Power ON camera.");

// power on camera
int handle = ::open(CAMERA_POWER,O_RDWR);
if (handle >= 0) {
::write(handle,"1\n",2);
::close(handle);
} else {
LOGE("Could not open %s for writing.", CAMERA_POWER);
return false;
}

// Wait until the camera is recognized or timed out
int timeOut = 500;
do {
// Try to open the video capture device
handle = ::open(videodevice,O_RDWR);
if (handle >= 0)
break;
// Wait a bit
::usleep(10000);
} while (--timeOut > 0);

if (handle >= 0) {
LOGD("Camera powered on");
::close(handle);
return true;
} else {
LOGE("Unable to power camera");
}

return false;
}

bool CameraHardware::PowerOff()
{
LOGD("CameraHardware::PowerOff: Power OFF camera.");

// power on camera
int handle = ::open(CAMERA_POWER,O_RDWR);
if (handle >= 0) {
::write(handle,"0\n",2);
::close(handle);
} else {
LOGE("Could not open %s for writing.", CAMERA_POWER);
return false;
}
return true;
}
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
<~~~~Providing no help here whatsoever

The emoji's make these log's entertaining :)
[Dell Streak 7] Synman:
Sure does trivialize it...

# echo 1 >> /sys/devices/platform/shuttle-pm-camera/power_on

# echo 0 >> /sys/devices/platform/shuttle-pm-camera/power_on

woot, we're done!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I'll give that a try, but I have a feeling that is not in the kernel.

No such file or directory.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Been away for a while... just wanted to clarify some things before I flash B5.0.1:

If I'm on B4, do I need to wipe or go back to HC before I flash?

Are we not using the flash script that was included in B4?

I scanned and searched the forum but didn't find my answer...

Thanks,

Siobhter
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
It was right in the first post ;)

If you are on B4:

1. Restore to Android 2.2

2. Flash official HC update

3. Fastboot flash B5 images.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I'm sorry, I read that stuff on the OP wrong. Beta 5.0.1, here I come!

UPDATE: I'm having a hard time finding the stock files (thought I had them somewhere). I'm downloading the oldest Boot.img, Recovery.img, and Update.Zip from TheManii's Dev-Host account. Is that a good place to start?
[Dell Streak 7] Synman:
Totally different under stock HC.... The camera stuff is in /sys/devices/platform/tegra-camera
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Are you totally sure? Because I am looking at that I don't see a power link.

I've dug deep into it.
[Dell Streak 7] Synman:
looks like wakeup and control are the closest things on HC. I didn't look much further so its possible they're somewhere else. There is no /sys/devices/platform/shuttle-pm-camera/power_on on HC either, but you already know that.
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
Giveen, what do you change in boot.img to enable sdcard in Beta 5.0.1?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
TheManii had listed some stuff, some pages back.
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
Strange... if you change only export EXTERNAL and INTERNAL strings in boot.img - why i see TWO internal memories in system->memory?

I think wrong sdcard mounting in FW can do error "can't install to SD or USB"

SORRY FOR MY UGLY ENGLISH...

Hope you understand what I want to say )))
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
that is a very good question, no idea why that is happening.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I followed the steps on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018809 to restore back to FroYo. That boots, but when I flash the B5 system and boot img, I get stuck at the Dell boot logo.

I'm not sure the method described on the thread I linked to is rebuilding the partitions properly.

I tried downloading the stock images from TheManii's Dev-Host, but the files finish downloading before they hit the size listed in the D-H console.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Did you update to honeycomb

Did you do the " -w" when fastboot flash the images? Or did you try to flash the zip containing the images as a flashable zip?
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I was on ICSB4, ran the steps in the link I posted to get to FroYo. Then used Fastboot to flash system and boot (I didn't use the -w switch).
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
First try the -w switch. If that doesn't work, grab a honeycomb package and update.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Thanks for the tip. What's the syntax? "FASTBOOT FLASH -W SYSTEM SYSTEM.IMG" ?
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
fastboot flash system system.img -w
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
That didn't do it... still stuck on the "Dell" logo on boot. I'll see if I can successfully download a PKG from TheManII's Dev-Host account, they kept failing yesterday. Do you have any other suggestions on where to get the update.pkg for HC?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
That is the best place.

So you downloaded the zip file in my OP, extract its contents, and flashed those? I want to make sure we are on the same page.

Some people are getting confused in thinking this is a flashable zip that you would do in CWR, which it is not.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
That's correct, I dropped my Streak down to FroYo, downlaoded your .zip, extracted them to a folder, booted into Fastboot, ran "fastboot flash system system.img -w" and "fastboot flash boot boot.img -w" and I'm stuck at the Dell logo on the first boot. I know that after flashing you can wait for the first boot for a while, so I left it for an hour and no go...

I FINALLY got the Honeycomb update.pkg to download so I'll try running that from the stock recovery and give your boot/system.img another try after that.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah, you should do the honeycomb.

Also you only need to do the ' -w " on one of the flashes, perferably after system.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Once your on Froyo, you must install the Update.pkg right then from the stock recovery. After that Fastboot the boot and system images. I only used the "-w" on the system image file. Giveen included CWM with B5 but it's not included with the B5.0.1 zip. The Gapps package from TheManii wouldn't install from CWM for me but TWRP 2.1.4 worked.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Thanks, I was just going to ask if I use the -w switch on each flash. I accidentally downloaded the HC update.zip instead of the PKG, so I'm waiting for that to download and I'll flash that in stock recovery. At what point do I flash TWRP?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
You can do it when you Fastboot the other images.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Oh good! the PKG is 80% downloaded... will keep you posted.

UPDATE: Success! Upgrading to HC first is what did the trick. For anybody that is curious here was the successful sequence:

1: downgrade to FroYo and rebuild stock partitions. I used the steps in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018809

2: upgrade to stock Honeycomb. I used the LG7_514_21700_30.pkg downloaded from TheManII's Dev-Host account: http://d-h.st/users/TheManii/?fld_id=1676#files

3: Fastboot flash TWRP recovery, then the new boot, then the new system with the -w switch.

Now, I'm installing GApps and all the apps I used to have. Can't wait for the Kindle app to work again...

Giveen, wptski: thank you for your work, advice, and patience!

UPDATE2: Booted into TWRP and my external SD can't mount... any ideas? Nevermind, I found it under SDC...
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I flashed the Gapps package from TheManII and from GooInside.me and both do the same thing: "Installation complete" but after reboot the Gapps aren't there. Permissions issue?

UPDATE: Looks like the Play Store installed that time... I'll get the rest through the store.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
If you have the Play Store, it installed. I don't know anything about the GooInside.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I guess I'm used to the other gapps coming in the bundle (Gmail, maps, etc...)
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
Try install gapps from Cyanogen site ...
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Battery life seems to suck...

Successful install via TWRP on Stock Honeycomb

Thanks to you devs for this excellent ROM.

I was fortunate to have a stock honeycomb so I installed the latest TWRP Recovery 2.2.2.1 from this thread, restored to factory defaults, and flashed TheManii's beta 5 zip linked on the front page. Everything worked well, but there was no gapps or market.

After searching this thread I eventually found reference to TheManii's gapps file which I downloaded in his separate thread. Flashed that from TWRP and now everything works great!

I am trying to turbo install everything from my ICS phone onto the tablet by doing a Titanium Backup, sync to dropbox, and install. I expect it to go without a hitch!

Not only is ICS an upgrade, it is a performance upgrade! The tablet was just not usable on honeycomb for me. Incredibly sluggish -- whether it was something I did to it or whether it was that way from the factory, I don't know. But now the thing just zips around. Thanks again!
[Dell Streak 7] dhigby:
I was not able to resolve the issue of the icons running off the edge of the screen even after playing with the dpi settings. So I researched the best launcher for tablets and installed GO Launcher HD free edition. It goes perfect with this ROM and I'd recommend it at least until the Trebuchet problems are fixed.

Please say thanks if this was helpful ;)
[Dell Streak 7] dills2214:
Thanks for the tip. That has been bugging me a ton!

A question for everyone running this rom. Does anyone have a working GPS on the latest version? I have tried every fix, agps data cleared and re-downloaded.... nothing seems to work.

I just bought this device for a car computer/navigation, so the GPS is pretty important to me. Maybe I'll have to go back to honeycomb, but I'm willing to help in any way I can to fix this. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something simple.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Actually I think its something I might have done. Let me do a new build, test gps, and then I think I might have the fix if it doesn't work.

If the fix works, I'll push out a new update. I'm really busy working on CM10 but I understand this is a core feature.
[Dell Streak 7] dills2214:
Sounds like a plan. I appreciate the quick response, and I will try to help in any way I can. If you want me to test anything out, let me know! Thanks again.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Pretty sure I know what needs to be done. Think I need to change out the gps binary.
[Dell Streak 7] dills2214:
Sounds good. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I still remember just working on sound for CM10, but I did make teh changes in CM10, so I'll test that today, and that iwll let me know for CM9.
[Dell Streak 7] dills2214:
Ahh, didn't delete my message in time. I was just asking about some files that I found on manii's page, as I was having trouble flashing ICS B4. I cant find a B4 that I can get to boot. My main problem was figuring out what the mod-1 and mod-2 files were, but I figured out they are for Manii's CM9 on stock partition.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I need to look at logs but GPS is not working.
[Dell Streak 7] dills2214:
I hate to bug you but I've been looking all day and haven't found an answer yet. Coming from this ROM how do I get back to stock honeycomb?

I'm getting random lockups and subsequent reboots on 5.0.1 beta, fresh install, any ideas to help alleviate?
[Dell Streak 7] dills2214:
Thanks for all the quick replies I really appreciate it. So if I understand this right, I can't just go straight back to Honeycomb? I have to go all the way back to 2.2? I've never used nvflash before just fastboot so this'll be interesting. It seems like there isnt just a zip I can flash in TWRP.
