[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
ICS is beta meaning it isnt recommended for everyday use and is only intended as a testing release only, ATM JB is kinda in the same boat but it will eventually get to be a more stable release, ICS hasnt had much developement support since january
[Dell Streak 7] nnkovt:
I had this problem a few month ago, and it was a main reason for backing to HC. Now i use Nemus Launcher + SetCPU on 600 mhz maximum, and i havenot 'dead' locking at all
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Talked with snargledorf and my plan is to release B5 this week. I have an idea for camera I am working on. If not at least we will have a new beta.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Cant wait, will provide a new works/not works list when it's ready and out
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
CM9 is giving me issues because snargledorf when back to stock partition and I don't feel like changing my device to that, so its back to focusing on CM10 for now.
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
You only need to change the init.streak7.rc to suit your partitions.

Greetings
[Dell Streak 7] chipis:
Thanks Bro!.:good:

NIce , i cant wait for the next release, can you add to mount sd card i would very appreciated bro.:D

[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Is it worth dropping the latest System/Boot.img from http://173.242.117.138/giveen/cm9/ into my ICS-B4 folder and flashing those?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Nope. Won't boot. Going g to rebuild cm9 again but you will have to use stock partioning to flash it so I won't be able to test it.

But first I need to fix the server
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
Gotcha, thanks! I want to test CM10, but I need sound and I'm not confident in the recovery process of going back to ICS-B4.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
If you are making new CM9 builds, you should not include gapps if possible.

Unfortunately on B4 it simply requires gapps as there's a really strange bug that causes the softkeys to not work without them.

The Gapps package for ICS is partition agnostic, it should flash without issue if you wish to test against the /data/media layout.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
I may wait for b5 to be released before I attempt porting MIUIv4 again, might give me an idea of what I am missing
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Really, all I am using is what is at our github, you aren't missing anything.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I've been using TWRP to go back/forth between the two and don't have any issues.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
its probably just me having compile issues from using a mac (Its work owned and its the closest thing to linux that they gave me)
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
When do you put TWRP on the device? Immediately after NVFlashing the alpha images or only when you're ready to go back? It seems the recovery partition is overwritten when running the ICS-B4 batch file.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
The original ICS-B4 came with CRM 4.xxxx so I installed TWRP, created a backup, NVflashed CM10 which comes with TWRP, create another backup, keep a written log of who's who in the list and switch back/forth. I just went back to CM10 and back to ICS-B4 again. I can't download anything from the web with CM10 as I get memory filled, no room error, so I can't look at PDFs.. It might be the same issue other apps have with writting to the "sdcard". The Battery Monitor Widget has no history because of this, I believe but that's just a guess as I know nothing about this stuff. I know that it's only an Alpha version. No sound but it won't play a MP4 anway.

All you need is an external SD card.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I haven't tried this myself, but I recommend renaming the TWRP recovery image to "recovery.img" and replacing the recovery image file in the nvflash package you are using.

I do the same in ROM .zips I flash to my Evo and Gnex from time to time. Again, this hasn't been tested by me and perhaps giveen will confirm for us? But the latest TWRP port for the streak works for both ICS-b4 and cm10 soooo your probably saving yourself a lot of trouble just doing the above. Same recoverg would cut down on compatibility issues with backups as well
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Yeah, save a step by replacing CRM with TWRP recovery image in the ICS-B4 NVflash package.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yup that's how I do it as long as the image size is not greater than what is listed in the nvflash config file.
[Dell Streak 7] JugglerLKR:
First post says camera doesn't work. Both cameras or back only? Can skype use front camera for.video or not?
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
:banghead:

Allow me Giveen:

Camera doesn't work.... as in camera does not work.

I do believe "Not Working"= does not work. And camera... well its not specifying one does and one does not work right?

I know I sound like an ass... buttttt I am pretty sure the OP is clear English and you are answering your own question:confused:
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
might add an addition to this, if it specified "partially working" in the OP then one would only think it would be right to ask for the dev to define partially, knowing giveen he would have included what does and what doesnt, if not it would have been user generated by people like Elfin and Azreal
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I've finally gotten around to releasing a new test version of Gapps/ICS, i specifcally need non-neon device testers (ie the S7) to test it for me.

I assume giveen's TWRP would be able to flash it for /data/media (ie normal ICS-B4) users.

If it's confirmed to have no issue (specific to gapps) I would recommend all users to update their gapps.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Installed on my S7 using TWRP with no problems so far but heavier usage tonight.

On reboot it did a Android Update of 40 apps which I assume is normal?
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I dont remember the exact dialog box, but one of them is simply android building/rebuilding the dalvik cache.

Prior to HC, it simply did it during bootup and resulted in a very long 1st boot, now it will wait and tell you so you know it hasnt frozen or anything.

Assuming that's the dialog i think you're talking about
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Its normal. Ignore it.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I've seen this once before restoring a TWRP backup either from ICS-B4 to CM10 or going in the other direction.
[Dell Streak 7] nicholas88:
Hello...all...guys...

For this ICS Beta now i got radio 3g/4g working, and start now i'm looking for camera driver for make ICS perfect for our Dell Streak 7. Thanks For Support. I'l be back. :)
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
How did you get 3g/4g to work?
[Dell Streak 7] Synman:
ooooo You sir have got my attention !!!
[Dell Streak 7] nicholas88:
:) use driver from acer iconia a101 all network driver.so n u will got 3g/4g working. And now u can make new update rom for a while because many people need that 3g radio. Sorry for my bad english language. Thanks :)
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Can you specify which ones exactly? A lot of drivers are tied into each other and linked to each other, so an exact list of which ones you grabbed would be greatly helpful.
[Dell Streak 7] joeclark:
Where can I download?

sent from a device using an app
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I am really excited about this but before I can do anything about it, I need confirmation of exact drivers. Then its just a matter of grabbing those, mounting the system.img from B4 on my linux box, throwing those drivers in, and then having people run a test.

But need that list.
[Dell Streak 7] nicholas88:
That driver is libhuawei-ril.so from iconia tab101 ics, but not yet perfect because if u reboot your device will be show up "sim card inserted please restart" press back no problem, i can't attach file,i don't know how, if mr givenn have that file can u upload for all guys here :)

Thanks before
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
So that would be this

https://github.com/DerArtem/huaweigeneric-ril
[Dell Streak 7] nicholas88:
I almost forgot that the driver is also working on Unoffical CM10 - Dell Streak 7 Alpha ROM.

and always do a backup before attempting driver. Thanks before
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Currently wishing for a working example of dual sd support in a ICS level rom.

B5 is supposedly going to have a less-hacky method then what I did with B4.

Need a working example so I can backport it to ICS for the S5, in the middle of doing a large innerSD mod for the S5.

Recycling sdcard_oem from 514 didnt seem to work like it did on B4 (if you can even call it working)

Until B5 actually rolls out, both the S5 and S7 would benefit from <whatever is the correct method of dual sd support>
[Dell Streak 7] eoh7678:
Just applied this to my Streak 7 and loving it so far!!

Just one problem- I see it's been mentioned before but not recently- the issue of the MAC address changing everytime you turn wifi on/off.

Has any progress been made on this?
[Dell Streak 7] skaskater1:
3g/4g

Im still new to building or modding roms, can you tell me how to add this radio file and give it a try on my own streak, Thanks
[Dell Streak 7] nicholas88:
yeah, u can put driver file libhuawei-ril.so to system/lib don't forget set permision, but not yet perfect only make your signal up only not yet data,i'm stiil looking for because on dell streak dev not have cdc-wdm, and need to modify init.rc

i'm still need support :) thanks anyway
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah turn off Mac filtering on your network, its a useless security attempt.
[Dell Streak 7] eoh7678:
Don't want to sound rude, but you really shouldn't make assumptions like that without asking first.

I don't use MAC filtering on my WiFi- I know how useless it is. I use a Cisco ASA 5505 security device that applies inbound and outbound security policies based on MAC address to my entire network. With a constantly changing MAC, it makes it very difficult to consistently apply the proper security rules.

If you're going to suggest that I disable my ASA and leave my network open to the public because that's useless too, then you have another thing coming!
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
whats wrong with having a WPA-PSK2 type encryption on your network, or even better having it require NLA to use your net connection... to breach a MAC filtered network you just need to get the MAC address of the router and spoof that then go about obtaining your required credentials and you are in, I have done this many of times in the past (all legally of course, also skipped a few details there but you should be able to figure out the rest from there) honestly it really only adds 2min to breaching a network anyway
[Dell Streak 7] eoh7678:
OK, I'll try this just once more.

I do NOT USE ANY sort of MAC filtering for wireless access. I already use WPA2.

I use MAC addresses for my bloody firewall. You know, the box that sits between my private network and the public internet. A firewall allows authorized traffic out to the internet and keeps the evil internetz users from accessing my computers and equipment.

Instead of using port forwarding based on IP address, which can be cumbersome, I port forward based on MAC address. For example: My DVR's need to be accessible on a certain port from the outside if I want to stream over the internet. Rather than mess around with static IP addresses or DHCP reservations, I simply note the MAC of the DVR's and forward according to that.

Also, policies are applied based on MAC. For example, my android phones generally only need access on certain ports, ie. 80 and 443 for web, 25 to send mail, udp 53 for DNS, etc. Why leave things wide open when you don't have to?

So, to recap, I don't in any way use MAC addresses for wireless access or security. If you find yourself wanting to suggest that I use WPA instead, or tell me that MAC filtering isn't secure, please read both my posts again.

Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
and you are doing this why? honestly it seems a bit useless to me probably because I have never found a need to use it.

if you insist on going about port blocking through MAC addresses you may as well just implement a table filtering option for QSIDA MAC addresses (unless of course the brand identifier also changes)
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I could say along the same route that all security isn't nesscerry at all since common sense is by far the most powerful anti-(everything).

Whatever method he wishes to use is up to him, and I do agree that the random MAC addresses are counter-productive.

I dont use MAC filtering in any manner, but it defeats the purpose of MAC addresses in general, in that they're semi-permenent unique IDs for network interfaces.

It bothers me in the same way that not having static DHCP on my other routers does, just because you can use dynamic addresses doesnt mean that you always want to.

If it were BT MAC addresses: I could imagine my sixaxis being completely useless on my S7 as it pairs by MAC.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
to sum up there is no current fix and use the work around of not implementing port restrictions until one of us find a fix for MAC address randomization
[Dell Streak 7] ekklesiaillusion:
Have you tried the 514 Rom? Its a lot more stables out of the box.

No credit for the linkrom, just posting the link
[Dell Streak 7] detlef25:
It's a great rom, and I tend to use my Streak 7 with ICS more than my LG Optimus Pad with 3.1. ICS is so much smoother and also more pleasing to the eye. Thanks for your work.

On another note: Could you add /proc/last_kmsg support? I have had two hard lockups in the last three days and would like to save dmesg the next time it happens.
[Dell Streak 7] slay24:
Do i have to flash Beta 2 first or can i flash directly Beta 3? w
[Dell Streak 7] exebreez:
No. ive flashed the beta 3 and it worked quite fine :P
[Dell Streak 7] slay24:
driver problems.

me again :S i tried to install the nvflash drivers but i dont know how i have the device "FastBoot" in my Computer now. But he does not accept any of the delivered drivers for the device?! i have Windows 7 64x is that a problem?

Thanks for a hint
[Dell Streak 7] exebreez:
So you havent the drivers, arent they in the package`?
[Dell Streak 7] slay24:
now i done it :)

but have some problems now

Bluetooth does Not work

Video Playback does not work

youtube hd Playback does not work

flash does Not work proparbly

is that normal? if not what should i try
[Dell Streak 7] ekklesiaillusion:
I had all of those problema and found no solution. The video playback was the killer for me. Once that is going good ill run this all day.
[Dell Streak 7] slay24:
I now use mx videoplayer with sw rendere works like a charm only flash ins ugly but i love love the rom
[Dell Streak 7] EwanG:
Would love to give this a spin, but the no 4G is a killer for me as I use this as my phone and my tether inet device for my larger tablet. On the other hand, I can imagine that not having the device looking for 4g when it doesn't have it probably helps a great deal with battery life.

In any event - Mad Propz to Giveen for getting it this far!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Props go to DJ_Steve, I am just his noob assistant.
[Dell Streak 7] vuhothang:
nvfllash beta3 last night. it run smooth but some app FC (dolphin Browser HD,..) launcher error when i rotate, now i'm using GO Launcher EX.
[Dell Streak 7] Meddler:
Giveen,

This is a really good ROM already (and as you know, not everything works yet).

Just wanted to feedback my installation experience, smooth.

Streak went into APX mode on the first try and the drivers installed without issue.

The BAT file did its job nicely and ICS was up and running in about 15 minutes from start to finish.

I wasn't expecting was the full wipe of the internal storage, not a big problem as I'd already nandbackup'd the device and safely stored that on the laptops HDD.

The only major problem I've had so far is that the Streak seems to crash fatally when connected to mains power. It behaves normally when connected to the USB port of my laptop and when not connected at all, just locks up or doesn't come out of sleep when connected to the power supply (the one that came with the device, so no voltage problems). Odd.

Anyways, very nice work. Good to have ICS on all my Android devices.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah, we know about SoD bug :(
[Dell Streak 7] vuphuonganh:
Hi

Great rom, much better than the HC Rom IMOP.

Is there a way to change dpi? It's kinda tiny for my eyes. I tried DPI changer and LCD Resolution but both failed.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Install Busybox, it should work after that. But its a hit or miss sometimes.
[Dell Streak 7] vuhothang:
In beta 4, can use CWM to update!!! nvflash i will backup to PC many thing.

Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] Gasik:
Please give link for beta 4, want try... now install beta 3. Want check new version.... thanks.
[Dell Streak 7] jpmi23:
How did you get b4?!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
B4 is not ready. We are still working on getting a hardware acceleration bug out of the way.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I believe giveen mentioned it was a feature and not a bug (i could be mistaken),

it is a kernel compile flag I think?.

If it is it shouldnt be turned on for future builds
[Dell Streak 7] nnkovt:
As temporary fix u can write script or use program (that used script method too), but i dont know, is it useful. I had problems in my university network (MAC filtration + certificate + WPA-PSK2) - none of soft changed MACs was suitable
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Its a feature that needs to be turned off. While I 100% disagree with using MAC's for any network filtering or forwarding, it is not suppose to be there. Pretty sure in my CM10 kernel, I turned it off, but I am getting reports that it is still there.
[Dell Streak 7] autonami:
been running this for a few hours. everything is working as advertised. very quick and stable so far. i have been running HoneyStreak for almost a year and it was starting to get very laggy and unstable for some reason. anyway, thanks for this. i will certainly be using my streak more now.

the kernel linked in the first post, is it included in the flash? or is it to be flashed separate?

also, while wifi does work and connect with no problems.. but speeds are very slow. any idea what could be causing this?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Kernel is built in, don't worry about that.

Wifi could be a couple issues, I would suggest reboot device, change wifi channel on your router, and pray.
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
Since when has any religious hope been proven to resolve wifi issues? If anything wouldnt that just add to the particles of whatever + this "god" character creating an increased absorption of wifi signal... so you'd actually wanna do the complete opposite.... I am working on a fix for this in mistreak
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:

I followed the op and modified the build.prop file as instructed shortly after initially installing ICSb4 months back. My net speeds were always decent, comparable to the speeds I'd get when using other devices on the same network.

I've never seen full confirmation that the edits made a huge difference, but overall things appeared faster.

Give it a try and see. Make a copy of the original build.prop first so that you can revert if you chose. Some of the lines were already present in the original build prop... I chose to remove duplicates to not mess up anything.
[Dell Streak 7] Wetzel402:
Here is definitely not the place to debate beliefs. This is a development website.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
It was a joke, as a religious person, I recognized it as such, and moved on in life, lol
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
it was basically a reference as to how one shouldnt have to combine the two to make them work as they are completely unrelated to the working of either
[Dell Streak 7] Wetzel402:
Haha, got it. :good:
[Dell Streak 7] Nocturnal_50:
its not as if an atheist would get a better connection speed (although I personally have never had an issue with connection speed and am atheist so who knows really) anyway I am not one to say whether worshipping a creator or some other thing of religious belief (insert spaghetti monster here) will impact on wifi performance however it is a way to look at what may cause it... any number of things can factor into this as well (steel plates/beams, water, subwoofers, microwaves etc)

Preemptively released CM9mod for all layouts.

[Guide][Beta][Prelim]How to switch innerSD layouts

CWM/TWRP for streak7dm is not out yet, so it cant be tested on that yet, but I believe it should work fine on streak7 and streak7ex

Changed CM9mod/streak7dm to also use ext4 instead of ext3, if you already had CM9 installed and are upgrading to streak7dm you will need to fac reset to use it.

You can back up everything with TitaniumBackup and restore afterwards though.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Restoring to 2.2, going to get stock Honeycomb from Dell, get files needed for stock partition and finish snargledorfs work on B5.

Need a break from CM10

awwwww Snap Giveen in the house!!!! lets hope for a radio soon :D or Whatever else you wanna fix first im game regardless ;o
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Device to stock HC, CM9 downloading now, will grab snargledorf's stuff, since he is on stock partition, and will run from there.

Since he has pretty much everything done, I need to focus on the things he was struggling with. He stated that he was facing random reboots, so that and radio may be my focus.
