[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
The best I can tell, the autobrightness custom settings "fix" only fixes the crashing of the interface. I don't really think it's actually affecting autobrightness though. The current light sensor reading as well as the current display and buttons brightness levels are supposed to be displayed at the top of the settings page for custom values. All of these values only show -1 for me no matter the actual light input. Obviously the sensor is working because autobrightness works, so I'm thinking that its looking for the value from a wrong location. I don't really know where to look for this but I'll keep trying. The MIUI settings actually work, so it shouldn't be too overly difficult to figure out for someone that knows where to look.

Google Talk is missing

Just installed CM (CM itself, updated Gapps, and n0p's kernel) and I can't find the Gtalk.

Any idea how to add it?
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
That's the only one not included that also isnt available on the market, I'll make an extra zip for it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] esokolov:
Many thanks,

I thought it must be in the Gapps.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
While I'm at it I'm gonna also add the new/weather app, as that's the other missing one, the rest are all on the market.

If you dont want to wait you can grab this hack: [APP] Talk Audio/Video, it might work on CM7.

I havnt actually tried it though, so install with caution.

My pc is having issues (and I intend to rebuild it when the new ivy bridge core ix cpus are released) so it could be a few days before I can release it.
[Streak 5 Android Development] footneek:
Nice and stable.

Nice stable ROM. Only had 1 reboot in the past 4 days. Thanks for the great work.

There is one more request from me: Can you add default landscape orientation patch?
[Streak 5 Android Development] ncik:
Ditto
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
What would you like to see improved upon? I know for me I would like custom auto brightness settings to work properly (I've been doing what I can and have at least gotten the settings dialog for it to quit crashing) and I would like to be able to hold down the home button on the lockscreen and have the flashlight/torch come on (like in MIUI). Did a little looking into it for the torch option, but haven't found anything to help me out yet...
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
PDroid patch

Removed until further notice...
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Where is the code that controls the lockscreen?

You could likely recompile that part of CM7 to add in that specific feature. There's very few changes from CM7.2 RC0 -> this rom

You could also have it launch the torch app or something, but that's not really the same thing.

Edit: pdroid only modifies the frameworks doesnt it? if it doesnt modify any apks it's density agnostic

Edit2: yea, it shouldnt matter what dpi you're on as it only modifies frameworks

Edit3: How stable is it? I'll link it to the 2nd post if you're sure about it applying correctly.

I assumed you used the pdroid auto patcher to do it?
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
PDroid patch

Deleted on purpose
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
I'm not sure, its an idea I just came up with last night and haven't really researched it much. I'm not a developer or a programmer, but I can somehow understand a lot of code that I read, so it takes me a lot longer than someone who knows what they are doing. And you are correct, simply launching the torch app isn't the same and requires an extra step to actually turn on the light.

Then I guess my second post was really worthless then... lol

I know n0p uses it and therefore assume its stable for him on DSC. I'm just now starting to use it myself, so I can let you know in a couple days or so. I did use the pdroid auto patcher. I posted my patches to save others the trouble of doing it themselves.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Your hdpi link seems to be corrupt, unless you're still uploading it?

It's giving a 0 byte file

The files should be the same, but the source files dont have the same hashes, I havnt bothered baksmaling it to look, it could simply be whitespace or something trivial.

But regardless it's not exactly a huge hassle to make 2 different versions, I'll link both.

(i'm gonna make dell stage patches seperately too, i'm too lazy to merge them into combined hdpi/mdpi apks :p)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Last PDroid version fixed only known vital incompatibility for me. The only glitch - it somehow stopped showing toast privacy access messages, but it works.

I really like svyat approach to privacy protection - it's light and built-in, so no leaks here.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
I reuploaded the one with the error...weird...
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Seems to be working now, I'll link it to the mod post.

Edit: jumped the gun, the hdpi one isnt working yet

I'm gonna re-mirror it off streakdroid.com.

I wont be actively monitoring pdroid itself for updates, but whatever updates you (or anyone else) make i'll update the mod post too with them
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Lets hold off Manii, I'm getting problems with my streak now that I can only assume is coming from this. I'm removing my previous posts...
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Ok, when you have something tested and working I'll do it then
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
With regards to gtalk:

Here's the facts:

Talk.apk

Included in android 2.2-2.3.3

Only supports IMing

Works fine on CM7

Talk2.apk

Included in android 2.3.4-2.3.7

Supports IMing, Video chat, Voice chat

Only the IMing part works on CM7 (currently)

(The talk.apk in android 3.0-4.0.x includes video and voice chat, but for this reference that's not relevent)

Talk.apk isnt odexed in the stock rom, so you can install it as a standard apk.

Talk2.apk is odexed in every rom i've seen, so you must install it in system/app as deodexing invalidates the signature, and android wont let you install it as a standard app.

Currently I cant get talk2 to actually connect any video/voice calls, it reaches the 'connecting to' screen and the FFC works, but it never completes.

I also need to get my hands on an unmodified talk2.apk that's also not odexed.

Talk2.apk is pretty much the only apk out of the entire gapps suite that I cant easily find as an unodexed apk

(unodexed isnt the same as deodexed, since anyone can deodex but only goog can sign an unodexed apk)

Dell did a huge disservice by giving us 2.3.3 instead of 2.3.4 since the biggest change in 2.3.4 was the addition of talk2.apk

If anyone can point me to a unmodified/not-odexed talk2.apk I can work further on this,

beyond that the only thing I can currently offer is just the Talk.apk from 407.

Also: looking for volunteers to install [APP] Talk Audio/Video.

I've tested gtalk on my S7 and S10 and they cant connect to eachother either, so it may very well be on my end.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
You can use talk.apk of miui 2.3.23 it supports video and voice chat.

---------- Post added at 01:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

I have also tested talk2.apk on miui 2.3.16 and it works.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
the talk.apk in 2.3.23 is a deodexed talk2.apk that was renamed. So it's not any different from the already available ones
[Streak 5 Android Development] rebski:
I already have this installed on two Streaks. It works fine the last time I tried on DSC 0.7
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Have you tested it specifically on CM7 though?

I cant confirm or deny that video/voice works since I cant connect a call on any of my devices.
[Streak 5 Android Development] BoletRZ:
in my case when flashed talk2 in CM7 HDPI..there are 2 Talk in system/app..but old Talk can be deleted and no problem..I'm untested to talk/video cause my Talk no friend used TalkAV..:o

my CM7 HDPI has been running 3 days..sorry for my english:o
[Streak 5 Android Development] rebski:
OK, I have installed CM7 on one Streak and DSC 1.0 on the other. I can confirm that sound and video works on both.

The experience is laggy and not particularly usable. But it does work which is the main thing.

I hope that it is just a matter of optimisation to improve the experience.

Google video chat worked very well on my Nokia N800 so I had reason to hope for the same or better on the Streak.

Thanks for your work and perseverance in this.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cvchetan:
voice and vid work very well on cm 7..

extract the zip attached, push files to respective locations, change permissions and it works well...

remember to push the lib file and also fiz its permissions.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Why does that zip have both a talk and talk2.apk?

It also has an older version of googleservicesframework

Edit: I have a non-odexed talk2.apk! Incidentally it's from a streak pro.

I'll package it up once my pc starts cooperating again.

I will be preparing more zips with the following:

Talk2.apk - for video and voice chat

Geniewidget.apk - the news and weather app

Carhome.apk - the car mode launcher
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
I have prepared Gtalk, Geniewidget, and carhome.

talk2 hasnt been throughly tested, so I will need feedback on how well it works. The older version of talk2 has been previously reported to produce choppy video on CM7, you may experience this on the new package too.

All files are in the 2nd post, the optional mods post.

@TheManii

Does clockworkmod 5.5.0.4 developed by hPA work for Dell Streak 5 and which language it uses?
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
I cant make any recommendations as far as his build of CWM 5504,

I can only recommend streakmod as it still works fine.

Though there shouldnt be any major issues from using his CWM 5504
[Streak 5 Android Development] sinan33:
Which language does it use?
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
I dont know, I've never tried it
[Streak 5 Android Development] hunderteins:
as far as I remember, english. But nandroid backups weren't complete (something dell specific from /framework) - so I stopped using CWM.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sbdolphine:
I use hPa's CWM. It's English.

I uses it for a long time and it doesn't show me a any problem. Except sometimes backup folder name's date wrote wrong.

But some zip files can not be used because they didn't supported by CWM. In My memory, I experienced that problem at old froyo ROM, Necoroid.

DSC and other roms works fine with CWM.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
If you're talking about some old zips that cannot flash, it's due to CWM not supporting the old scripting language.

Android 1.0-1.6 used amend scripting (ie the old style)

Android 2.0-Current uses edify scripting (the new style)

Streakmod supports amend and edify

CWM before 3.0 suports amend and edify

CWM 3.0+ only supports edify.

(hint: streakmod is based on CWM 1.8)

Use Streakmod if you must flash something made with amend scripting.

Authors should have stopped using amend long before the Streak even came out.

Home Long Press

I know I'm asking in wrong place, but I need directions.

CM has tunable behavior for long-press home button. I wonder how I can set the following scenario - I'm driving a car, I'm running two apps, navigator and music/audiobook reader. I need a quick way of switching between them, like holding a button. So is it possible somehow to make home long press switch between last two apps, not showing the apps list?

Many thanks,

Eugene
[Streak 5 Android Development] BluB0HR:
Coming from DSC 1.0, I did all the steps written by Radimus (first page).

Everything is working well.. except the Google account sync/login. When I try to add my Google account it always fails to connect to the Google servers tho internet access (both data & wlan) works in the browser. Therefore I don't have Google Play Store nor my contacts available. The clock is set up correctly.. any ideas? It worked on any other ROM.

Edit: nvm, there was an issue with the default apn settings. *facepalm*

[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
any progress towards an update? this is by far the best ROM
[Streak 5 Android Development] Crinos512:
+1

I much prefer the feel of CM to the iPhone-esqe feel of MIUI. Personal preferance.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
There's noone available to actively maintain it.

I'm going to attempt to build CM7.2-final when it's released, but that wont be for a while as CM7.2 is still a while from release itself.

Assuming I can get that much done (which really depends on how much the code wants to cooperate), I'm gonna try and build CM9 and see how much works/doesnt work. Even if that compiles (which will be surprising if even) I expect it will be like DJ_Steve's old CM6.1 alpha, in that nothing really worked.

I assume the qualcomm drivers will/have been merged into CM9 soon enough, which means that if it works at all it'll likely be GPU accelerated, it might even have wifi and bluetooth. But it likely wont have cell support or hdmi out. It all really depends on what drivers CM9 itself already has (as it has like half of the drivers we need from common sources such as other devices)

CM9 likely needs kernel changes/a lot of kernel stuff to really work, which I have no intention of doing.

There's a lot of 'if's in the previous statements, pretty much everything has to go right to get even a barely working at all build.

For time time being, even if we had someone actively mantaining CM7 there's not a huge amount to do except fix a couple minor things. (which we more or less have as hackfixes already)

The only real thing missing is better kernel OC support via cmsettings, some minor sensor related stuff, and hdmi out.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djscopesofm:
thanks for the update manii. Ill be patiently waiting. Hopefully everything goes good.
[Streak 5 Android Development] lunadomain:

Universal Pheonix Kernel

Looks like _n0p_ has a newer kernel built that is rom agnostic... (at least as far as I can see it is aimed at working with DSC, CM7, and MIUI)

I followed the instructions and flashed this ROM yesterday. It was my first time. I am happy to say that most everything went smoothly and it works well. The only issues I can see so far is my menu LED stays lit when the screen is off and last night it locked up. I had to remove the battery to restart it.

I've done some searching for the LED issue but haven't found anything yet. Is it a configuration somewhere?

Thanks and great job to everyone that made this ROM possible.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
If it's only the center one and not all 3, that's a feature.

The middle button's led doubles as a notification led.
[Streak 5 Android Development] L22EEW:
I'm having the same problem... but not all the time. To be honest, I ain't even bothered by it.

Must admit, the ROM is absolutely amazing! Really fast, no random reboots... hardly any force closes! Extremely pleased with this ROM! Got no idea why I didn't install this any sooner!
[Streak 5 Android Development] marksm:
Had to remove the battery again this morning.

I plug it in to my uverse box overnight for charging and WiFi has been enabled.

I need it to be functioning in the morning because it's my alarm clock.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ramtix:
bro,

that lit up menu button is a notification feature on CM7. You don't need to remove your battery to turn it off. Just swipe down the status bar/notification bar and close/remove the notification message, and it will turn off.
[Streak 5 Android Development] ilndor:

[Streak 5 Android Development] besony:
I had the same problem once.

But- it went away by itself!

But- I had switched from Longhorn to CM 7.2 - and had another batch of FCs

- I though blamed it on me- not clearing all data and cache - and using Nandroid just to do data restore.

Dont know the reason yet!

But- never happened again!

[Streak 5 Android Development] L22EEW:

Screen Rotation

Ok, just when I thought there were no faults with this ROM. Yesterday noticed that my screen won't rotate if I turn my streak 90 degrees, 180 degrees, 360 degrees. Bit annoying as if I were to view a web-page in landscape, I simply can't.

Been checking the settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Display -> Accelerometer rotation -> 90 degrees is checked...

But no rotation happens. Any one else has this slight glitch?
[Streak 5 Android Development] rsfinsrq:
I have them all checked and have full rotation.
[Streak 5 Android Development] L22EEW:
Also tried those settings, but still get no rotation!

I also have a modified android.policy.jar file to switch to default landscape mode if you're interested and know how to use adb push or know how to put it in your original ROM's zip and flash it
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Was it patched directly on top of the included android.policy.jar?

If it was give me a copy and I'll make a flashable zip and link it to the optional items on post 2 in a couple days.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
IF you mean did I use the actual android.policy.jar from the ROM the answer would be yes.... I think the change was move v1, v5 (v5 was originally v3 but I can't be sure, I made it back when hPa first released the ROM to us). But it works without any problems. That along with changing the orientation to "sensor" mode in CyanogenMod settings and everything but the ThemeManager apps I think reverts to default landscape.

FIRST BOOT DOES take a considerable while after implementing it for some reason, but after that it's normal

Streak5-Cyanogen7.2-Flashable-LandscapeDefault

I made this one up but it won't flash... for the life of me I can't make a flashable zip to save my life, something I'm doing wrong in the updater.script I know but I just can't put my finger on it.

Fix that zip up and I'll be indebted to ya.... I can keep it in my Dropbox or DJ can host it... whichever you deem best
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
I figured it was the reverse of the portrait hack for Stock roms (ie hacking the mov opcode there).

Offhand I dont see any problem with your script, but I cant repack it for another few days till I rebuild my dev pc, and for that I cant actually confirm/deny that there's an error in your script.

CM7 itself offers proper landscape default support though, there's an entry in build.prop about it, but I dont know if it's merely reporting it to the system or if it actually controls it. I do know that it's definitely possible to do properly though rebuilding CM7, but that wont be any time soon.

I believe that actual tablet mode would resemble CM7 on the nook or kindle fire or the like (ie includes soft buttons like HC/ICS in tablet mode)

Regardless it will still be available in phone mode (ie what we currently have)

Like I previously mentioned I would like to attempt to rebuild CM7.2 final with the following options:

Tablet mode

HDPI

Landscape mode

I would imagine it would end up with the following end results:

Tablet mode + landscape mode

Phone mode and/or portrait and/or HDPI

Though saying and doing are entirely different things.

All hosting done on streakdroid.com is directly managed by me, DJ_Steve isnt involved directly. (Though obviously it's his space and I am/streak users as a whole are indebted to him for providing space)

I will eventually be remirroring everything off devhost.com as I am amoung the many Registered Contributors that recieved free accounts.

For anyone in the western hemisphere (ie north and south america) I would recommend that as it would likely be faster.

Anyone in europe would likely get faster results from streakdroid.com

All others I cant say, you'll just have to try and see.

That is amend scripting, while it will still work on streakmod (assuming it's correct, I assume it is offhand), you shouldnt be using it.

Amend was dropped in CWM 3.0, and has migrated over to edify scripting.

While amend still works due to streakmod being based on CWM1.8, you shouldnt use it due to edify being forwards compatable.
