:D this is very early stage of development build with available source. As I found HERE available ICS Chocolate Branch Manifest for msm7627. I will personally do experiment to build this ICS branch for dell venue.

I still need help from someone to understand and appoint a clue to this information at the end of build process :

done.

sysmtem is alive but boot (kenel) is still NON BOOTABLE ... :( I believed by working together we will have "something" for this device
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
The 40x roms are based off of the MSM8x60 branches, as they dont implicitly list 8260 they likely used 8660 as their base.

I dont know if the 8x60 is closer to the 8x50 then the 7627, but just pointing it out.

You might be better off at least getting 2.2/2.3 to boot first, you may very well need to deal with the drivers and at least 2.2/2.3 have working binary-only drivers.
[Dell Venue] x1123:
Dear TheManii,

I believed you are one who having well understanding on this funky smart phone. please let me know qsd8x50 : is the name of processor isnt it > qualcom snap dragon (qsd) and how about MSM8x60 <-- this is name of BOARD of Name or Processor. When coming into building kernel I need to have correct understanding. So far I know only the ARCH. Is there any wiki or site page to refer. This is example when I was on old time with gentoo linux on compiling kernel for PC :D > Safe Cflags. Board understanding will help in configure config file, processor understanding will help in overclocking or set best and safe for building kernel.

binary only available driver will always make head-ache in open source community. Hopefully vendor releasing the driver copy :) sorry for the question, I'm really new to this embedded device
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Snapdragon is the device family, 8250 is the specific SOC used in the venue.

Like I stated earlier, dell used the 8x60 branch as their base as qualcomm/CAF no longer supports 8x50 devices. I dont know if it's better or worse as the group that makes the roms pretty much does a terrible job at it, the venue has only a fraction of the issues of the streak 5 (due mainly to drivers), but there's not much you can say to defend them when it takes over a year to release GB (in fact it was just days after ICS was released) for the venue.

Dell cant and wont release the drivers to any of their devices, most of them except the streak 5 arent unusual anyway. The reason ICS has a beta for the S7 is this very fact.

You can likely base it on the nexus one/passion as it's likely not terribly different from it.

I dont expect the GB drivers to simply work in ICS, and since we dont have them you'd pretty much need to rewrite/port from a similar device using the same hardware.

At least with the current drivers, you could theoretically build the rest of the system and drop in the current ones. I've never had the time to try so myself but this is pretty much how cyanogen is ported to some devices.

That's pretty much ALL the info for the venue, as I'm the closest to a dev for it (at least on xda, there's other devs but they dont speak english much/visit xda much so it doesnt really make much of a difference in the end) and that's about as much as I can offer.

I cant really offer much more as I've never attempted to build android itself. Most I've done is build the makefiles to compile CWM. The makefiles for android is a lot more complex then merely porting CWM
[Dell Venue] x1123:
dear all,

can someone appoint me out to have correct GB manifest on codeaurora ? I tried

x@x1123:~/dell-venue$ gingerbread_rel -m M7630AABBQMLZA404020.xml ^C
x@x1123:~/dell-venue$ repo init -u git://codeaurora.org/platform/manifest.git -b gingerbread_rel -m M7630AABBQMLZA404020.xml --repo-url=git://codeaurora.org/tools/repo.git

fatal: manifest 'M7630AABBQMLZA404020.xml' not available
fatal: cannot link manifest M7630AABBQMLZA404020.xml

I did many googling, still No lucks :( I agree to Guru TheManii advise to make GB kernel booting first then investigate to port ICS into dell venue.

***dell venue make me very currious (and also fustating)***

[Dell Venue] x1123:
I tested to build android and using three source : codeaurora, cyanogen, aosp. To build GB on codeaurora I just can not find correct manifest. On cyanogen just wont build (for certain device) without proper propreitary binary drivers. On aosp ... well, build is easier. From TheManii advise I build GB aosp > passion and will not boot to be flashed to dell venue. I change the kernel with 408, rom is alive on device, but No wireless functionality work, either gsm or wifi. Anyone can give a clue where to get radio.img for dell venue? to build booting customs android kernel for venue still no lucks for me.

if someone want to take a look please download passion build packed with 408 kernel HERE flashable via cwm recovery. This will not brick your device.

To turn back device into normal android usage just flash TheManii StreakDroid4-250 without wipe anything. I put StreakDroid4-250 file also HERE just for make easier to download from my region (Indonesia).

Booting kernel

Hi Folks,

attached is booting kernel for dell venue. I tried on GB Rom (TheManii Rom) Steakdroid4-2.5.0.

Build info :

- Build from source tree : DJSteve-StreakKernel-92bf64f

- using 408config > extracted from 408boot.img

- switched off back cover awareness (I dont know what exact name) feature

- ramdisk > splitted ramdisk from 408-boot image.

- flashable via fastboot

- download atachement

- boot to fastboot

-$ sudo fastboot erase boot

-$ sudo fastboot flash boot djsteveboot.img

-$ sudo fastboot reboot

NOTE

This is development stage kernel. so please only try if you can tackle all problem. Good news flash the boot WILL NOT brick Your device

share here the result :D
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
It's redundant on the V at least, as it has no door sensor/doesnt care if the back cover is off. I do that all the time to hot swap memory cards.

Even the stock kernel will allow you to remove the door and not complain
[Dell Venue] adridu59:
Hi, I built a kernel too but based on Venue (4.06) sources.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23544539#post23544539

You can check my sources here :

https://github.com/adridu59/dell-venue-kernel

The Venue codename is 'toucan'.

There are Venue-specific files and I do not know whether they are present in the Streak source you used. :confused:
[Dell Venue] chacona:
I am developing a CM7 build myself. In fact, things are OK except the fact that the kernel is still stock 408 (things about setting up the working environment is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1687679).

After being able to build CM7 myself, I will turn back with the kernel issue for 2.3.x. Then, proceed to Android 4 ICS. God bless all of us! :)
[General Questions and Answers] phillybizzle:
Hey all,

So I resort on my phone (4G connection) for my main source of getting online. So today i picked up one of those little portable MiFi modems; and just for sh!ts and giggles i dropped my 4G sim card from my Rezound into the device and I almost pooped my pants when i saw the green light. Since I am a lucky soul who got grandfathered into the unlimited data I thought this would be a better way instead of burning out my Rezound and battery.

Now my questions are...I have a older 4G SIM card from a previous Verizon phone...is there anyway possible that I can somehow get a "copy" of my SIM, so I don't have to keep swapping it back and fourth from my phone to the MiFi device.

Lastly, since this is working flawlessly, probably the fastest connection I've ever had ( beating out T-1 line) Can Big Red see that my SIM is in this Mifi, and either cut me off, or start charging me? (even tho it's unlimited data)?

Thanks

ps i didn't know where to put this posting so sorry if its in the wrong place.
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
1. You can only have one SIM active with one number at a time :)

2. Possibly :p Someone more familiar with VZW will be able to help you more. I think it is possible for them to detect you are tethering and charge you extra, but not 100% sure.

Nice find! :)

Hi Guys, I hope I don't get flamed for asking this but how do you install a custom ROM from this website on Evo4G? I have downlaoded the ROM and also the ROM manager but when I go in the ROM manager and browse to the folder on the SD Card where I have copied the un-zipped version of the ROM files, it never lets me select anything.

Please help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitz420:
Without being rude, just Google "how to flash a Rom on evo 4G". There are links to threads here as well as other sites. If youre not the kind of person who's used to researching this stuff first I'd recommend staying away from flashing and XDA.

You don't want to unzip the ROM :)

Weird as it may seem, the Recovery flashes (installs) files in .zip format, it's just the way everything works on android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Hey,

Make sure you search before you post, that being said if you need to download the rom and put it on your micro sd card! DO NOT unzip! you need to flash the zipped file! :)

That being said if you are using rom manager go to install zip from sd card chose the file! make sure you wipe the data cache and dalvik and hit okay and let your phone do its thing from there! during this process leave your phone alone and come back to it after it finished flashing and reset! and at any point of the process NEVER take out your battery!

Good luck and happy flashing!

I hope I helped If I did please hit the thanks button!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designflaw:
Thank you. Sometimes one is just stuck with something that is so simple to someone but yet complex to others.

Thank you both. That was indeed the missing piece, do not unzip the ROM! :) Let me give it a shot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
SMH are you even rooted? First you need to root your device Google "root evo 4g xda (insert hboot version here)" then Google "Amon RA evo4g xda" then backup your current rom then wipe everything except SD card and batterystats in amon RA wipe menu, go back to main menu to install zip from SD locate your zipped up rom and select then select to install then reboot and profit

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
I finally checked out the SGNote today in an AT&T store for an hour (both it & a case fits in my pockets & feels fine in my hand/s but the huge screen is startling at first then I started getting used to it) but they did not yet make the S-Pen available to play with (fearing people would steal it I guess).

One thing I did not see was Settings->Display-Screen Mode->"Dynamic, Standard, Movie"?

A Google now turned up:

http://phandroid.com/2012/02/18/samsung-galaxy-note-review/

"One of things sadly missing from the Note (and is present in the Epic 4G Touch) was the Screen Mode option in the display settings. Not exactly sure why all Samsung SAMOLED devices don’t have this option but it was disappointing to see this left out of the Note. Being able to turn down/max out the amount of color saturation on your SAMOLED device is one of the best ideas since.. well, SAMOLED."

I know its cumbersome, but until we have roms with custom toggles in the notification bar pulldown, go to settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > uncheck data enabled.

I don't have a note, but this has been the same on both my infuse and captivate. Should be the same or similar for the note. Yeah its cumbersome, but it works.

Also, if you stay connected to the same wifi, it shouldn't use data anyways, but I suppose this way makes sure.

No problem. And I'm not exactly sure, but there may be some code that you can dial to force 3g data only. I know for my infuse there are codes to force edge, but I have no clue about lte. Anybody with any knowledge of this should definitely chime in, because once I get my note ill definitely be interested in turning of lte as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
If you arent in an LTE supported area you have no worries. ATTs network isnt like verizons where the phone will constantly be looking for LTE. If you are in an LTE area and just dont want to use it you will have to alter APN settings to one that only uses H+. You should be able to use the same settings from an H+ only phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daraj:
Its easy guys just create a new APN entry and under the APN type "phone" and save/select and voila you will have H+ speeds. It will still display the 4G icon but no LTE. verify with Speedtest.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trae4nato:
What you all are trying to do is change the APN to force it onto 3G and not 4g and I have instructions http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/12/...rottle-4g-data-anti-throttling-trick-for-att/ on my site and it works part-time but the settings don't stick.

Also I have the Network app as well and forced it into GSM/CDMA auto mode and I also tried WCDMA mode which forced it on HSPA and it worked for a while but the damn phones goes right back to LTE.

Is this the same method that after freezing or installing tethering manager allows you to tether without being throttle?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
You have to choose "Internet". Confirmed HSPA-like speeds and latency, and the LTE icon disappeared, but the 4g icon stayed active.

Five minutes later, with the custom APN, i started seeing errors letting me know that setting the time using ATTs network was unavailable and that id have to set it manually. Trying it now. That'd be a small price to pay...

Also, MMS and SUPL. aren't supported (whatever SUPL) is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
Hi,

To force off LTE (and use that menu shown a few posts up) you need a radio that is RAT-unlocked.

The AT&T Radio is RAT-locked. TELUS, Rogers, and Bell presumably are not. Unfortunately it looks like odin is blocking me from flashing Rogers/Bell/Telus radios, but I can do it using dd, give me two shakes to see if RAT selection is unlocked there..

Is there a radio available that can be flashed in CWM with the CM9 Unofficial ROM or an app that's available that allows easily toggling of LTE off. There was also some discussion about APN profiles recently, but they only support HSDPA and not HSUPA. I'd like the max possible speeds without LTE.
