Dude, I havent touched my streak in MONTHS since that one HC update Steve made that had flashing screen issue, and could never find a culprit to the issue.. seems like it was never looked into deeper.

Quite honestly I forgot I even had a streak lol

Do you also know why GPS always take forever (if it ever even works) to lock? Is this a known problem because of AGPS or is it real GPS?

Thank you!

Dude all I have is a Mac at my dispense right now...any way around this? Lol
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Sure.

Open your web browser on your Streak 7. Go to the link.

Download the file. Use ES File Explorer app to do all the steps listed. Its what I did.

Steve has his copy of my ROM booted after messing with some stuff, but it has lots of FC issues.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Glad to hear Steve is back in action. You guys are awesome and thanks for the continued support. I get a little fifty knowing there is something around the corner!
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
*giddy

Keep up the good work fellas
[Dell Streak 7] scarmon25:
Well looky here. Just browsed by and looks like this thread has gotten lively again. Awesome. You guys are just great for doing what you do. Keep up the great work.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Giveen

Says on the Ics-camera thread to check here... What are we looking for?

Sorry, cant help myself right now. Sooo anxious for a new stable beta
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Its okay, don't worry about camera for now.

Basically I am trying to get init.rc to be looking at /data/dalvik-cache and then once I get it booted, all the stupid FC errors.

Hopefully Steve will be getting back soon.
[Dell Streak 7] JasonLA:
need to go back to HC

hey geys!

Is there any working image to get my european 3G model working again?

with a nvflash package i found some post ago i downgraded to 2.2.2

I don't get an OTA update, so I wanted to flash the lastest recovery and rom from here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak_7#Official

I first flashed the recovery but when i go on upgrad via SD card the device stucks.

can't get it working. I want to sell it :(

Update: I'm currently running 2.2 and wanted to update via this page http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A234000

after I start the update, I get this message: FOTA Model Name Missmatch

I finally got a working stock HC with these steps:

1. flash this nvflash package found here: http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/ho...9534]-nvflash-cwm-updates-official-3-2-a.html

2. flash latest EU 3G recovery and rom found here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7

Now everything seems to work right again
[Dell Streak 7] SveninFla:
I just changed my agreement with T-Mobile on my Streak 7. Even if 4 G was available with this rom, I could not get it where I live. So they were nice enough to rearrange my contract. Now I have a freed up Streak. It is totally available as a test Streak to use as a tool. Please keep this in mind. I would consider even sending it if that helps in developement.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Giveen,

I noticed I was quoted on tabletroms? I've never had any Mac address issues.

It is amazing how folks don't put forth the effort to read and research before they attempt any of this!

How is your cross-referencing of the .lib's coming along? Let me know if any help is needed.
[Dell Streak 7] b.st0ne:
Thank you giveen, I had this dell streak lying around i flashed your ics b4 rom on it and its amazing! i set it up so i could use it in my car as a permenant audio/video device. The gps was taking too long so i found on ebay a bluetooth reciever from tomtom won the auction $3 and it works! locks right away. The only concern is

1. google voice wont work

2. Any ideas as to why it overheats and shuts off sometimes (maybe the lcds on for too long and its charging constantly)?

3. Videos will play but sometimes a big Pause logo appears and the video keeps playing. But the screen wont respond to any of my touches unless i hit the home or back menu hardkeys.

4. I tried the brightness fix. Cant seem to figure it out. any suggestions on that?

5. sometimes it shows charging but hte battery slowly drains all the way. regardless in car or home ive tried a couple different chargers unless u hit the reset pin hole itll keep doing that

6. THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING ROM!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
1. Its beta, things need to be fixed.

2. Overheats and shuts off....never had that problem, perhaps don't keep it charging the entire time?

3. What app are you using? I suggest using MxPlayer and the ARMv7 codec app. I've played video for 4 hours in a row, no lag, no problems.

4. The instructions are very simple, if you cannot figure it out use the app RootDim that is available on the market.

5. Charge with the power off

6. Your welcome.
[Dell Streak 7] polarworks:
Hi, for many months that we do not know anything of Beta 5 somebody has been knowing so that, The HoneyComb 3.2 update 2 es BAD very BAD, It follows working a DJ Stevens and the tablet?
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Excuse me , what?
[Dell Streak 7] IronManDS:
Whoa! On the plus-side, I bet it makes more sense than me typing something in his native language would....
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Translation: I have been waiting for months for an update on the progress of ICS Beta 5. Honeycomb 3.2 sucks ass. Is DJSteve working on a new ROM for our beloved tablet?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I have about 6 laptops all with t6400's in them and 2gb of ram at least, I was considering putting them in an x-grid computing array for means of helping with ROM compilation, the offer is there if you want a hand
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Not at the moment and probably won't for some time and by the time he does have time he'll probably update. Sadly giveen has sold his Streak 7 so at the moment development is at a standstill and without drivers source it won't ever get kicked off again.

So i have sold off my two Streaks also and gonna wait on the Nexus 7 tablet
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I'm beginning to regret my donation to DJSteve, I was hoping that he was still working on the Streak...
[Dell Streak 7] brncocorey:
I hope he didn't take advantage of our kindness
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Steve will be back, please just give him sometime. Last time I talked to him, he said life was getting better and he should be back to dev'ing soon.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Cool. I have two Streaks that I can test builds on. What's the best way to get a hold of him so I can let him know?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Nothing new in four months or so, might have to go back to HC or some other custom ROM to wait it out.
[Dell Streak 7] nnkovt:
Yesterday i flashed HoneyStreak again because of bootloop... Good work and good rom, but it is still preview, not for everyday using. Hope that B5 or stable release will born
[Dell Streak 7] The Afroman:
I hate to sound negative.. but i we will not be getting a stable HoneyStreak / updated. They stated in a post on tabletroms.com that they have moved on to ICS. And so this build of ICS is all we have..

I would love a build of honeystreak based on the last Dell offical rom with the dock fixes and an OCable kernel. But also from what i have read at tabletroms.. both roms are dead.

http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/ho...eakdroid-honeystreak-hd7-r8-36.html#post56078

and

http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/streak-7-general-discussion/5045-end.html

So Giveen is done and Steve.. well he doesn;t even have a Streak any more and to be honest he probably should buy one.. if i had a chose of a new tablet i would get something else. (the screen drives me nuts!!)

Don't get me wrong.. i'm tankful for Steve and Giveen. But i think they have moved on. I don;t see anyone rushing to make anything new for the Streak.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I wouldnt call that just yet, its all an issue of drivers for the tegra 2, 3g/4g, sound and requirement of a new kernel to make compilation a bit easier
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Would it help to have data from others working in Tegra2 devices? My phone (LG P999) has been getting regular CM7 updates SMS has CM9 inn active development.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I'm sure it would help, it would be even better if we could get ICS compatible drivers for the Tegra 2 and 3g/4g rather than reverse engineer the ones for Froyo and HC and face legal action from NVIDIA and whoever manufactures 3g/4g radios
[Dell Streak 7] crhylove:
Nvidia is the worst. That's why Linus gave em the finger!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Getting the drivers to work was a huge hack job by Steve, with research of errors done by me. Dell is providing no support, no matter how much I press my contacts, which I have some pretty high up contacts in the Dell chain.

You are more than welcome to try to adopt a more powerful kernel.

DerArtem's linux 3.1 kernel is a GREAT place to start

https://github.com/DerArtem/android-tegra-nv-2.6.39

If you guys can figure out how to combine that

https://github.com/DJSteve/streak7-kernel/tree/ics
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I am starting to think wait for the Toshiba Thrive 7 to recieve ICS that way we can compile a "frankenROM" on the downside its a june-july ETA on the stock ROM for that, but at least it means another attempt at ICS for the Streak7
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
currently working on building a test ROM, so far very minimalist, most drivers are missing so I am guessing it wont be bootable, doesnt look overly promising as of yet. I will give everyone a heads up on the progress when I get around to flashing it later this week. I wont be uploading it unless it is more stable that ICS_b2
[Dell Streak 7] cvcduty:
This is fantastic!

I own 2 DS7 and I was beginning to think that people were forgetting about this device... Now I can relax a bit.. :)

I am glad that there are still devs and interested parties that think this device has bit more life left into it!

Thank you for your efforts and hard work!
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
Most of the time its research into what is out there, if I can get handed QSIDA's drivers for 3g/4g then hopefully we will have more of a future for the device given the amount of 3/4g devices that utilise it
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
following recent research I have discovered that I have been off track a little by thinking that the streak7 was based off the ventana series tegra2 when infact it was the harmony series tegra2 which can also run Windows CE 6 link here (install at own risk) and that we should be able to port any harmony series tegra2 variant of ICS to the streak7 within a few weeks given we can find/compile drivers for 3g/4g radios and get 2.6.39 kernel working correctly
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
What are the other harmony Tegra2 devices?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
some of the models as follows:

Acer Iconia Tab A100, A200 and A500, Asus Slider, LG Optimus Pad, Avionic Design Tamonten Processor Board, Exper EasyPad, Notion Ink Adam tablet, Olivetti OliPad 100, Point of View Mobii 10.1, ViewSonic G Tablet, ViewSonic ViewPad 10s, Motorola Xoom, Toshiba AC100, Toshiba Folio 100, ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, Advent Vega, Hannspree Hannspad, Aigo n700, CompuLab Trim-Slice nettop, Dell Streak 7, E-Noa Interpad, Malata Tablet Zpad, MSI 10-inch (250 mm) tablet, Toradex Colibri Tegra 2, Toshiba Thrive tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, T-Mobile G-Slate, Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1, Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet L510, Dell Streak Pro, Zyrex Onepad SP1110, Zyrex Onepad SP1113G, Sony Tablet S

there are more but these are the ones that I have heard of to utilise the "harmony" tegra2
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
gotcha, so we need a CM distro for one of those devices and the drivers for the Streak?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
or get an official ICS of one of those and use legacy drivers from HC thrown on top of the CM9 mods
[Dell Streak 7] Wetzel402:
I now have an A200 so if you guys need anything from me let me know.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Its not Harmony, its Ventana.

The kernel says so, Dell says so, DJ_Steve says so, and so do I.

You can go ahead and try to build with Harmony, but you will need to recompile the kernel with Harmony+Dell drivers before you do any other work.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Giveen, have your heard from DJSteve lately?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
recompiling the kernel with dell and harmony drivers it is :) nothing lost by attempting it
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Did you specify in the defconfig to use harmony files and the Dell drivers?
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
haven't started it yet but I will be working on it later tonight
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Well Steve and I took 3 months to develop the kernel and ROM, working between 5-10 hours a day on it. Have fun :)
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
gonna try for 3 weeks, knowing my luck I will hit complications, but I hope to have everything fully setup and ready by wednesday so that I can work on this while I am not busy at work, hopefully we have at very least a minimalist rom for ICS by the end of the 3 weeks (with any luck booting successfully)
[Dell Streak 7] roast:
giveen, your link for the device tree on github is broken, did you remove everything?

I finally have a vm build env setup, (no promises) and wanted to take a crack it...
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I removed it for a legal reason.

Use this instead...

[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:

[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
For anyone who is after the Ventana ICS image for nvidia's SDK:

Ubuntu 64bit

Ubuntu 32bit

Windows

Mac OSX
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
No! What is after is just the normal build files.
[Dell Streak 7] roast:
Thanks giveen.

I understand your decision to move away from this device, I work full time and have a pre-schooler and infant @ home; I also know what it's like to add schooling into the mix (completed a course last year). I hope this community continues to appreciate the work you've done for this device (I know I do!) as well as what DJ_Steve has done in the past.

We all want to see this move forward, if you can share anything legally and without stepping on steve's toes, I/any other tinkerer would appreciate that as well.
[Dell Streak 7] Synman:
You'd think our monetary donations would've helped to open this up a bit. Free the source if its truly dead.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I've released the build code, see above your post.

After discussion with several SENIOR Android developers, I was advised to remove a few folder that were not open source and could have gotten me and Steve in deep legal trouble from Nvidia.

No donations ever went to me, so I am under no obligation. Steve will be back soon.
[Dell Streak 7] Synman:
Sorry 'bout that... consequence of reading just the last post.

You definitely want to be careful with the nvidia crap.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
with the thrive7 having its ICS ROM delayed we are looking at a longer waiting period for the dell to get ICS... to be fair I think we can call this project dead if the thrive doesnt get ICS or JB
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
You could always try to do a SDK port of JB, saw it done for a A500
[Dell Streak 7] ikutoisahobo:
D=

I was really looking forward to this :( Hopefully this project isn't dead just yet?
[Dell Streak 7] s14evil:
For the time being , I went back to a stock 506 wifi ROM. Only thing is I rooted it

Looks like you guys are stuck with me. lol

Tablet didn't sell after being returned. So I am back to working on it, but waaaaaay behind because server is down and I'm having to rebuild source on my computers and college has me swamped right now.

[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
The JB port is coming along. Got "Dell" logo, and adb turns on, but then I have a bootloop, so I don't quite get a chance to see what it is catching on.

So I've reworked the JB sdk again, and going to test it in the morning, while still working on CM9.
[Dell Streak 7] mail404:
Would like to give B4 a whirl, anyone have a working link? The OP link doesn't seem to work for me. Thx

Hey giveen. 4.1 just hit aosp. Maybe that can help ;)
[Dell Streak 7] joeclark:
Which file is B4?

sent from device using an app
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Good to see from you, snarg. Yes, I'll be hiting up 4.1 as soon as everyone and their cousin is done downloading. I only have a 1.5mb line at home, and the streakdroid.com server keeps going up and down.

JoeClark, not sure, was pretty sure TheManii say he was going to put it on there.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Mirrored B4: Link

Edit: Temp link taken down, see next page

I'm in the process of figuring out a scheme to name the files, as I host all Dell devices, thinking

NV-S7-CM9-B4.zip

NV means it requires NVFlash to flash, rest are self documenting. Revision will match whatever is already used.

There is supposedly a CM9 being made for the S10 so this would allow me to store them all in 1 folder without being confusing.

It would thus be NV-S10-CM9-<whatever>.zip

and update-S5-CM7.2-<whatever>.zip if I ever bother to repackage it.

If you do not have any issue with that giveen I will go and reupload all 4 betas with that scheme, the current link at top of post is temporary.

I am considering making a Gapps package like [GApps]Gapps package for GB/ICS, but as I do not use ICS/JB I cant actually test it.

(It currently works fine for ICS/S5, but the S7 will require different install scripts)

I already have the latest GB and ICS ones, and are in the process of preparing a HC one for stock roms.

(FYI these are much newer then the ones listed on the CMwiki)
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Its pre rooted.
[Dell Streak 7] androidlover12:
So how do I install this Rom ?
[Dell Streak 7] androidlover12:
I also pressed both volume keys down and plunged it in to the computer, as soon as the 3 lights lit up ( back menu home) I released it, now the lights or lit and the screen is off and the lights won't turn off how can I fix ?
[Dell Streak 7] yujikaido79:
I think you need to use the pin hole reset feature, to get out of APX mode.

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

I don't believe there is an NVflash version for OSX, you need windows I believe. Have you tried running windows through bootcamp or virtual machine in virtual box ?
[Dell Streak 7] tktino:
please add update date within title, or an update #.

Thank You
[Dell Streak 7] androidlover12:
No. I think I might just use a Windows pc, thanks
[Dell Streak 7] rvbarton:
Any app incompatibility so far? Also, does the camera work?
[Dell Streak 7] androidlover12:
If my tablet is pre rooted how do I install this Rom ?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
It says right in the original post.
[Dell Streak 7] SULEY1:
hi good work how can you return to HC from this wonderful ICS rom any files or tutorial to get back to HC THANKS
[Dell Streak 7] ekklesiaillusion:
Rom works awesome, never used the camera to begin with so it doesn't bother me and mine is wifi only as it is. The only problem I am having is my auto-rotate screen option is not working, it is selected but nothing happens when you turn it any way.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I am not sure if that is a problem with Android or the kernel. I do know that apps rotate.
[Dell Streak 7] DJ_Steve:
rotation is a bit hit and miss, still looking at that
[Dell Streak 7] ekklesiaillusion:
Figured it out. I had gone threw the android settings and checked to see if auto rotation was on which it was. Looking threw the trebuchet menu I found auto-rotate under the general settings which wasn`t checked even through the android menu had it checked. All good now
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I would have suggested that but when I do it through Trebuchet, the UI crashes hardcore on me.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Don't go anywhere near removing the Search from Trebuchet or it'll FC forever. Rotation seems to be stable.

This is based on CM9 on my Nook Color, haven't tried it yet on the DS7, although I'm about to.. HC on the DS7 has been horribly unstable for me, averaging 3-4 soft reboots a day and at least 5 hard freezes a week.
[Dell Streak 7] ekklesiaillusion:
Weird. Works perfect for me, the only thing that crashes it for me is trying to turn search off like stated above
[Dell Streak 7] crhylove:
I usually have auto rotate off. My only concern is a few random FC here and there, and no camera, so no skype. This rom lasts FOREVER. My battery life is probably up 300% at a minimum. All day long with light usage: 77%. That would've been dead by 1pm on HC. I've switched via nofrills cpu to smartassv2 1.336 to 216. Going to test tomorrow at 1.4x... So far, AMAZING!
[Dell Streak 7] rvbarton:
Am surprised there isnt more feedback...

I'm contemplating switching to this ROM, but I hate to lose my camera, hence my hesitation. I'm pretty tired of the stock honeycomb locking up all of the time.

I'm very interested in knowing more about this ROM...
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I'm completely fine with that , TheManii

I'm working on JB right now, just finding the time when I can to throw myself at it.
