OP should clearly state that video playback does not work... I found this out the hard way...

Was kinda hoping to breathe some new life into wife's tablet, but....for now, I think the only way that's possible is by going backwards, to froyo.

Thanks for your hard work here, I hope to see video playback working in the near future.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
An official honeycomb ROM has video playback just fine(Netflix, YouTube, mxplayer) so if you want to give the tablet life.... don't flash it back to an android version which first appeared 5 years ago.

Without kernel source, these guys have done an amazing job keeping these devices relevant. Give Giveen some time to get major bugs ironed out. The cm10 beta release will be a whole new world
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I'd have to agree there, its immensely troublesome to get video to work. be grateful that you got an ICS rom rather than be negative about what doesn't work with the rom, for that reason I am still testing everything with mistreak before I decide to release it to the public and for now it will have the same errors as any ICS roms...

also you may wanna kill off autocorrect Elfin
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Lol I swear I had already edited that post 3 times! 4th is a charm I guess... missed the "Giveen". Thanks as usual:p
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
not nearly enough :p considering releasing mistreak with a custom dictionary for the sake of not having to re-add words like **** or **** each time you flash a new rom
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Are you guys using MXPlayer and the Arm7vA codec?
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I have been. I downloaded through the play store months back when I first started rocking beta4 and it worked well with the codec. Watched a few 720p movies while plugged in to the plane(american airlines!) back in July when I traveled a bit.

I'm back on honeycomb(US WiFi only) and ready for the beta. But I haven't used mxplayer in some time.

If I get antsy and flash cm9 or cm10 I'll be sure to see if its working on the current builds and report back
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I have it set aii display times out in 10 minutes and sleep 5 seconds after that.
[Dell Streak 7] metalchef:
I am grateful guys (I even said thanks in my post). At what point was I negative??

As far as going backwards, I had to flash to 2.2.2 to be able to re-flash 3.2 (514).

As always, I am very grateful for the existence of this site and its community of unstoppable developers. I wouldn't know or be able to do half of what I know/am capable of without XDA.

EDIT >> wait. so mxplayer is working for mp4 playback?! (youtube and netflix are irrelevant to my Mrs). if you're sure...then, damn. :D shame on me for not thinking outside the box. metalchef fail.

Here goes round 2. :cool:
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
MxPlayer and the tegra2 codec should do your Mrs. just fine
[Dell Streak 7] metalchef:
and, actually, no.

HD Mp4 playback == no audio. even with codec installed. (standard h.264 files that worked with 3.2 have no audio on this ICS port)

so, back to out-dated Android OS 3.2 </sad panda>
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
SOrry guys about ICS, but there is a reason why I am focused on CM10.
[Dell Streak 7] metalchef:
Hey Giveen,

I'll make a monetary donation if it'll help get a functional, stable version of CM-10 for the S7. :D
[Dell Streak 7] dills2214:
No need to be sorry. If you are getting close to some breakthroughs, it just makes sense to work on cm10. Good work!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Germey has been helping me out with sound, eliminated two errors already but still not function. mediaserver service keeps crashing, and we aren't sure why.

Typically I'm doing 2-5 builds a day, coming up with ideas and testing them out.
[Dell Streak 7] harris360:
Can i flash something from b4 Tor b5?

Gesendet von meinem Dell Streak 7 mit Tapatalk 2
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
No, you have to go back to 2.2 then upgrade to hc then fastboot to b5.
[Dell Streak 7] Dreamer...:
yep

you need boot.img for custom layout - see my posts abowe
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I need a victim

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0ozkQsJWIScRVRiYjBqdFVtOW8

Let me know if it boots, and if it boots, I'll let you know what next to look for.

Also need this one tested

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0ozkQsJWIScV2VCNUdZWWNtekE
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Test 1 won't boot, I know what is wrong :)
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I guess you tried the first one? The second one booted.

EDIT:

It has the same issue with the sdcard as CM10 1.1c.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yup, I've nearly got a partial fix done on internal sdcard, which then lets me start working on camera.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I'm about to do some agressive testing of gapps/ics, i'll also repackage the latest version of CM9 into an update zip.

Is there any specific version you want repackaged? Otherwise i'll do b5.0.1
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I'll be putting out a Beta5.0.2 more than likely today.
[Dell Streak 7] nnkovt:
Changelog please.

Is battery problem fixed?

Is internal/external memory fixed?

Is flashing method changed?

Big Thanks for you work.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
What is the problem with battery? A couple tweaks of Andorid settings and battery life is improved.

Internal memory is still connected till I fix the fuse. Flashing method will not change for now.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Bit of a noobish question: where is the voltage table located in the kernel source?

ICS has abysmal battery life even with no apps installed (beyond the core gapps),

I'm currently looking at ~8% loss an hour with nothing installed/wifi off/idleing on 5.0.1, while 514 I average ~0.6%/hour with same settings (interactive 1000/216 stock voltages)

I'm looking at UVing and the stock max voltage is 1450mV@1000mHz while the G2x is 1000mV@1000mHz. (The G2x is also a T2, but i dont know if it's a T20 or AP20H)

While I dont expect that we can directly mirror it, I wonder if if this is related? What's the stock voltage table on 506/7?

A cursory run of performance 1250mV@1000mHz is stable, I'm going to play with UVing my S7 and see if i cant improve battery life.

Edit: 1100mV@1000mHz seems to be 'stable' in that it can survive multiple rounds of the cpu benchmark in quadrant

Edit2: even 950mV@1000mHz seems 'stable', going to try -500mV across the board, and see if it's stable.

Edit3: Going to try using system in this state, 1000mHz and 216mHz seem stable, assuming intermediate values are also stable

(Note to others: UVing is like OVing/OCing: it's very individial device dependant, regardless 1400mV sounds very high)

Reading material: Tegra OC/UV Voltage (my baseline)

(everything is under the implicit assumption that the voltage modding in the kernel actually works as described)

Woohoo! Sound it working? You're the man! I can't wait to download... got a link yet?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
It always has! This is CM9 not CM10 which sound isn't working.
[Dell Streak 7] webdroidmt:
CM commit???

Hi giveen,

I'm probably just taking a shot in the dark here but... Early in the year on my Kindle Fire, a CM commit broke Netflix for CM9, all you got was a black screen. Turned out there was a commit (stagefright) that was causing this. CM put out a patch a few days later that fixed it and was eventually merged

I'm bringing this up because I'm currently on B5.1 and as you know, Netflix just has audio with a black screen. Upon reading through this thread, I saw that Netflix worked in B4, so I flashed B4 and Netflix did indeed work. I'm thinking that if it worked on B4, why not B5.1??? I'm no dev and like I said, probably just taking a shot in the dark but figured nothing to lose by asking. :)

Thanks for all your work on the Streak, it's appreciated.

Mike T

Here's the link to the CM commit from May 21st in question.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/16321/1
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I"m not sure. Between Beta 4 and 5 we lost a lot of information and we basically had to rebuild Steve's work. The patch is obviously integrated but I am going to say we are either missing DRM or necessary video stuff.
[Dell Streak 7] webdroidmt:
Too bad! Ahh, like I said, shot in the dark. :D Thanks for the reply.

I wonder if i can resurrect this ?
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
[MENTION=461453]DJ_Steve[/MENTION] !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesssssss please come back!

I've got my Streak7 sitting on its dock on my desk(unplugged and off) after recently moving to a new apartment and would love to get it resurrected!

Please let me know if you can/will have a look at bringing this thing back to life :)

If nothing else, perhaps you have some old nvflash files laying around?
[Dell Streak 7] DJ_Steve:
Think ive still got all the nvflash ones lol

No streak7 anymore tho so ill be devving blind if i do
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Please feel free to hit me up on Hangouts or pm me on XDA.

I will gladly test anything you have to offer.

Given tried to carry your torch as best he could... Till it got to the point of needing a kernel overhaul. I don't need to give ya a whole story, you can read how all the posts died down. Someone shipped a device to a fella as a donation for some kernel work, but then nothing came of it. KitKat came with better optimization for low end devices, but nothing would build with the kernel so far behind. I had someone take a look at the kernel with me(blindly) and it was missing some basic modules for logging. We couldn't even get a lastkmsg from it to try and debug a bootloop. Tried repacking the kernel with proper modules but it wouldn't boot, then the fella gave up trying to help me :(

I'd love it if I could have anything jb or better for a stable but limited usage. Mainly as a remote control(Kodi) and music player. Really basic usage.

What I have on it now is cm10.1 with gapps and very few apps. It is very unstable, reboots itself just sitting in standby occasionally. Don't think it actually sleeps. When powered on, CPU is maxed all the time. And typical tablet usage is painstakingly slow.

I have a twrp backup just after a fresh install of ROM and gapps.

I'd need to get drivers and relevant files downloaded again(new laptop since last working on it over a year ago).

Please let me know if you have any time to do some charity work ;) and welcome back to XDA
[Dell Streak 7] DJ_Steve:
been back on xda a while working on other devices, only main reason i left all the dell dev is because of some personal reasons,

i would be intrigued to try and get some logs from the current rom your running like
[Dell Streak 7] vuhothang:
OK, this way I can read sdcard, I changed path /mint/sdcard/sdcard2. I can read sdcard anyway. Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
remember this a hobby for us.

steve generally works at night don't know about his home life.

personally. I have college all afternoon + pregnant wife + a nearly 3 year old+ a 16 month old + maintaining my churches website + working on churches security system

And I still have to find time to get 2hrs ofhomework done a day and manaage to get some gaming time.
[Dell Streak 7] Gasik:
I send a little money for Steve... we very glad your work. Dont worry we be wait :)

Life is important!!! device its a garbage :)
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Just wanted to post a thank you to those working on this in hopes that another streak user will show that this device does deserve your efforts. Anyway I can help as a tester, feel free to use me
[Dell Streak 7] ChristmasGT:
Also wanted to do the same. Just picked up my Tablet yesterday, and can't tell you how grateful I am for you guys doing this.
[Dell Streak 7] crhylove:
This is not far off the mark for my experience either. Though it is more stable clocked down to 1.3x :) Still, ICS is just so much better than HC, I can't imagine going back in time. The brightness/battery issue is pretty rough though.
[Dell Streak 7] 2VULGAR:
Yes... I have ICS running on my Samsung Nexus S4G (thank you XDA) and I just bought my Streak 7 Saturday afternoon from a guy I work with. He never used it, and within 15 minutes of owning it... I had it rooted, and looking for a custom rom. ICS is the only way to go! I hope this thread stays alive too.
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
netflix working on b4?

Thanks man - good job DJ Steve(glad to see you're back) and Giveen...cheers! Ready to nvflash my streak again....:D
[Dell Streak 7] ekklesiaillusion:
Does YouTube work with this release or has no one watched a video?
[Dell Streak 7] Gasik:
youtube work fine
[Dell Streak 7] Meddler:
Another thank you

DJSteve & Giveen

Excellent update to Beta 4. No more crashing on power connection and I can remove the search now from the home screen (hooray).

Couple of little niggles, but I can't tell if they're application issues or ROM issues:

Chrome Beta - Can't get into settings - FC each time regardless of cache/data clearing.​

Kobo - After a reboot, can't read any books - didn't occur at all on HoneyComb.​

This is looking better and better every day, the performance is great and I seem to be getting similar battery life to my HoneyStreak previous build.

I might not have to roll back this time if the need to reboot has been removed which will be great.

Thanks again guys for

a) putting this together

b) sticking with it to get it working so well

Here's to B5

---

Additional Information

---

The Chrome error only occurs at the default DPI (120), when switched to 150 no error in Chrome.

The Kobo thing happens regardless of DPI but doesn't occur on a ICS (4.0.3) build for another device.

I've tried looking at the logcat output (thanks for the Terminal Emulator), but I can't see anything obvious in the output (having said that, I have no clue what to look for).

Looking forward to B4.5 as the brightness thing is getting a little annoying when reading in bed :-)
[Dell Streak 7] ekklesiaillusion:
Alright thank you
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
Netflix works but wi-drive app not working(was working on stock honeycomb)....nvidia games crashing like ****....simple games like pinball:rolleyes: and it won't read my external sd......:eek:
[Dell Streak 7] TesseractSpace:
Looking forward to this, would install right now but I use the camera on my streak too much to disable it at the moment.

Did have a question though, what does the partition table on this rom look like? I'm curious because of issues I'm having with the odd partitioning choices in the stock HC.
[Dell Streak 7] rvbarton:
same here. I'd love to install this, but I enjoy using the camera too much.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
android_<x>gb.cfg (unless a different one is being used for the repartition), check the bat file if you used that.

layout is:

[partition]
name= <partition short name>
id= <partition number>
type= <partition name>
allocation_policy= sequential
filesystem_type= <filesystem type>
size= <size in bytes>
... more stuff, not relevent

Dell Streak 7 Stock partition layout - XDA Wiki

If/when the ICS layout is 'finalized' i'll add it to that, until then it wont be added.

A cluster is 2048bytes each on the S7, so divide the size by 2048 to get the cluster size/location

Nvflash cfgs use byte sizes, but nvflash --rawdeviceread/write use sector counts (ie clusters) and so does CWM.

Once everything is in cluster counts, notice how they're all sequential in the stock layout.

So if partition 2 is 1536 clusters in size:

(There is no partition 0/1)

Partition 2 Start: 0 End: 1535

Partition 3 Start: 1536 End: etc

etc..
[Dell Streak 7] roast:
Again, thanks for all the work on ICS for the streak 7!

I'm using B4, I found the hardware back, home and options buttons too sensitive, can we disable them?

Is screen brightness broken in B4? I had amazing battery life in B3, B4 just drains the battery during use.

For the home page, is there a way to fit trebuche home screen so that it sits within our screen resolution?

What work/fixes is scheduled for B5? Is there anything we can test?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
There might be a B4.5 coming out to fix the brightness issue. Turns out there is a subroutine that links battery<->brightness in the drivers, so we need to resolve the difficulty.

As for resolution, install a DPI changer, if it doesn't work, first install busybox.
[Dell Streak 7] roast:
Thanks giveen, I'll give DPI changer a try and wait for B4.5! =D
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I tried making a backup of my apps with Titanium on my EVO, copying the directory over onto my streak, then installed Ti on the streak and went to settings to verify the backup directory.

Ti sees the apps but when I batch restore, the apps won't show in the launcher. Then I got market connection issues, saying it can't connect to the network. I tried clearing data and cache, but no Bueno. Am I missing something? Would like to avoid manually installing all 100 apps
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
TI hasn't been updated to handle Tegra ICS file structure, most likely.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Sooooo then what are my options for a batch install of my apps?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Write your app, sell it for 0.50c and become a millionare?
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
That would be real swell! However... I thought Ti had been updated for ICS structure, was hoping one of you geniuses could help this guy understand if there was something incompatible with our streak 7's.

I don't want to come across ungreatful, the Rom is awesome and I am ecstatic that there is still development for the streak. I will be mounting the tab in the dashboard of my car soon as a head unit and you guys have given new purpose to my streak with all your hard work.

Thanks, ill chime in if I learn how to acomplish the batch install
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
When ICS came out it was a huge change in a lot of things within Android, including file system structure. Also things like camera.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I nvflashed and started from scratch. Downloaded my purchased apps through market including Ti Backup Pro Key. It appears I had an older version of the app. The up to date version (4.7.7?) Worked fine, batch installed all my apps cleanly.

Thanks for the reply Giveen, guess I should have played with it more.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Just for those of you that like to use it or had/have it on another device, the newest Swype Beta works perfectly fine on the Beta 4 build, but you have to get the apk from somewhere. IF you try to download the installer it will tell you that the screen size is not supported. I myself have not looked in the build.prop to see what may need to change in there to fool the installer. What I did was borrowed the apk from my Streak 5 and installed it on the 7
[Dell Streak 7] shrekdaklown:
i cant wait to try this just need the cam working gettin antzy
[Dell Streak 7] ramtix:
can I do this on a unrooted , stock ROM? Will I be able to get back to 3.2 in case its not for me?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
If you have to ask it means two things...

You haven't read enough

And two you're not ready to tinker with your device
[Dell Streak 7] ramtix:
whoaaa... A simple NO. would have been ok.

First..your right..I didn't read enough..that is why I am asking, isn't it?

Second, I just got my streak7 from the shop because it was replaced by a faulty . I rooted and tinkered the first one,too bad that I had to send it back because it had the read-only problem. I'm just being cautious of what I'm going to do with this fresh device.

you could have just ignored my question if your not gonna help answer my query.
[Dell Streak 7] ArthurJGuy:
Does this build, or can it, support Cornerstone?

http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/

I had heard CM9 will integrate it but see no mention of it in the topic thus far. I would give a decent donation to have corerstone support on my DS7.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
NVFlash completely replaces all partition tables so yes, it can be done on a unrooted stock ROM.

Yes you can go back to 3.2, use NVFlash tool to make a backup of your current ROM or look around the forums to see if anyone has a stock 3.2 image. Don't ask me, I don't have it. Could care less for stock images, much prefer HoneyStreak R8.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
If I remember correctly, they said they would integrate it if it works for them. If they do, we will as well.
[Dell Streak 7] ramtix:
thanks heaps giveen..I think I can get the stock image from Manii's file on streakdroid (not sure). I'm on Stock 514 3G. Dont really want to lose the 3G capabilty, but I really want to try the ICS and see If I can live without the 3G.
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
There is no tutorial that explains how to make a NVFLASH backup of the Dell Streak 7 both Wifi and 3G.

Greetings
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
You could always google the directions on how to use NVFlash, modify the commands a bit to work with the Streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] SlickClick:
Ok I seriously need to get into this but I havent done any programming since middle school in DOS &c++ im guessing I needa know some Java and lunix or is this ICS a whole new world..? I thought I saw nvidia release an ICS dev kit a few Weeks ago... #ijs

I really wanna get into this stuff so I can learn to mod and tune too... Like this swipe keyboard is crap in hc..! Can someone make the.keyboard transparent on ICS and have sype as an option leaving the keyboard..?

Major question... Can I partition the internal 16gb mem to 2 8gb sectors and run a dual system..? I need hc for texting which means I would need radio in ICS to jump in & beta test with the new ROM...

Im down to learn with nothing better to do shoot me some knowledge and let me get into this too... I know gurus like DJ Stevie & manii are the guys at this but show me how to learn this stuff im all in... **** get me some texting illbe happy to hack at it & test.all.day im on this tablet its my computer..!

On a side note anyone ever see printer driver suppor so you can print rigt from the tablet..?
[Dell Streak 7] cvcduty:
I have a few devices and have followed many XDA threads, but I have yet to hear about a dual boot situation. Only one that I am aware of for sure is the HP Touchpad with WebOS and CM9 as dual OSes... I am not sure if what you are looking for is possible... then again, I am not a dev...
[Dell Streak 7] nomadmnemonic:
awesome work!!!

just got my DS7 back from Dell. Went and flashed it right away. There is an immediate difference in application responsiveness and device speed that was missing from 2.3/3.x. The missing 4G is not that big of a deal and I'm sure if anyone can do it, you guys can! You have consistently amazed me at showing what's possible!

Switched to using Launcher Pro. Swype Beta works on this device.

Slight lag at bootup, when accessing the market, and

As far as batch app installation, I recommend File Expert. It allows full app export to your SD.
[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
Just as a side note, they actually have a triple boot on the Nook color. I can boot as a standard Nook or into Honeycomb or ICS. So not really into an entirely different OS but different iterations of a single OS.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Different filesystem, different processor, different tablet , lol
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:

Hi all,

can't wait to test ICS but also can't live without camera for Skype nor can I stand few hours battery live due to the brightness problem.

Is any of the mentioned problems solved and when beta 4.5 is expected to be released?

Cheers guys, great work! ;]
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Use the app "Root Dim" to temp fix the brightness issue.

We are working on radio's as work on camera has stopped for a while.
