[Dell Streak 7] ttrier:
Thanks for the update Giveen. I looked at the audio files for some of the cm10 builds and it looks like it should work since the audio will go out the dock port. I suspect you are on the right path as something must be funky in the modules. I understand about the time it takes for schooling. I worked and went to school to get a master's in school counseling. I said I was done but I am signed up again to get an endorsement in elem school counseling. I also start back the end of Jan. Audio seems so close but yet far away.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I am hoping this patch helps

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/28970/
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
That looks promising :thumbup:
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
So it looks like that patch only works in CM10.1 (Android 4.2), I will be downloading the source for that and building for Android 4.2 and Android 4.1.2

The reason for both is that I have heard that CM10.1 may screw up storage a bit, so I need to ensure that it works. IF audio works out for that, then I will be switching my time to 10.1 even if storage is screwed.

Sigh, don't get my upgraded internet speed till the 28th, so its slow going with downloading source.
[Dell Streak 7] ttrier:
I have a feeling this Holliday season will be good. Perhaps audio in our Christmas Stocking. Sure don't want coal. And no. I am not hinting at a date.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
It will be at least Wednesday before I can work on it. Source is downloaded, device and kernel trees are integrated, tried to compile and started getting minor errors.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Merry Christmas to ya Giveen
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Hm. Fritzy....CM10.1 (Anroid 4.2.1) build complete, install complete, boot complete. Missing one lib for audio, adding it back in. Wifi connects, but cannot get to the internet, no button to go to apps, DPI is a bit off (text is really small)
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Our stock resolution is so low, android 4.2 would never be officially released to a device with such screen specs. Are you able to play with the build.prop to find a good fit?

Perhaps changing "text size" ?

No button for apps? Is it because the screen size is cutting off part of trebuchete? Can you side load nova launcher for example? See if same issue is present. I know nova will let you long press screen and set a launcher action shortcut for the app drawer. Would be useful to see if apps are scaling correctly as your playing with DPI settings.

Are the sensors working correctly? I know its hard to test more without WiFi. This just sounds pretty exciting already. Nothing like a new ROM for a belated xmass gift :p

I'm available all day if ya could use a tester
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
The default DPI is 120, and that is an officially supported DPI level.

800x480@120dpi = 1066x640DP, which is greater then the N7, but close enough that whatever UI apps choose for the N7, will also be the UI chosen for the S7.

Regardless of that though: there's still places where apps can fail, 800x480@120dpi is still an uncommon one and that might be why.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I have it at 120.

Getting closer on some alternate audio stuff but gaver up for the day.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
May try also a few patches on the audio hal I was using. Don't like patching core files but sometimes you have to do it. I would submit it to cm but I am sure they would reject it.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Did it work? If so submit it! Get some credit bro. You could end up solely responsible for the only official cm build for a dell streak .... Who knows
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Well I was in the works of getting us added as an official device, and was in the talks with the person at CM who handles it. He said he would look at my code and decided. Never heard from him again, emailed him twice more and gave up.
[Dell Streak 7] tommy1121:
here is a great app worth the mention. http://goo.gl/Mnb32 i would suggest everyone downloading and giving it a try on our giveen powered tablets.
[Dell Streak 7] siobhter:
I love AirDroid... I use it on my phone all the time for texting at work (so I don't have to take my hands off my workstation keyboard) and I use it to drop files on my Streak since I don't bring my data cable to work.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I've been on a kinda break for the holidays from working on this. I'm really stuck on things and I'm not quite sure what to do. I need to pull in some changes and then I'm going to start working on it tomorrow when I am backing up my servers.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Been working on the sound issue now for 6 months. I have one last idea to try and then I am out of ideas. Thank you Geramy for all your help the past couple months but I am pretty much coming to there conclusion that without support from Dell or someone smarter than me that we are seeing the last works of this tablet.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Perhaps a different music effects engine? I know there are several with different audio libs and stuff
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Well it is more than likely codec in the kernel, as others who have the same codec we have just updated kernel are having no problems.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
You are far wiser than I... This sounds good for us?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I have someone who is willing to port us to Kernel 3.1 from our current 2.6.36.3 but we need to get him a device first in Germany.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Any specific reason 3.1? embedded arm devices got much greater support in 3.3 and JB4.2 uses 3.4 as it's target.

I would assume that it would be more work merging in stuff into 3.1 if you have to port over stuff anyway(?)

Or does 3.1 has an easier upgrade path?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Because he had already ported his device to 3.1 so doing ours would be easy.

Actually 3.4 is the target but my N7 only has 3.1
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
For 4.1 or 4.2?

My N4 on 4.2 uses 3.4, i had figured that goog used the same kernel levels for all devices.

I would imagine that long term wise, it would mean that we would be better off with a port to a higher version of linux for beyond JB.

Though even goog dropped support for the xoom at 4.1.2/JZO54K, I'd imagine that everyone would be pretty happy to simply get 4.1.2 fully working.

I also need a more stable 4.1 before I can really test gapps on it, it's essentially all camera and sound related features left to test.
[Dell Streak 7] immortel_la:
i'd love to buy a dell streak 7 3g, but there're just few ROM for it, what a waste @@
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
The N10 on 4.2 uses 3.4 as well.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
N7 uses 3.1, maybe because of Nvidia?

Also the reason why I had switched to Android 4.2 (CM10.1) is because they had placed in a couple patches that deal with ICS audio blobs, making them compatible. Also they will soon be discontinuing patching of CM10
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Someone better convince me soon that this is even worth while anymore. Sigh, 6 months on sound and no where closer.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Okay two new ideas to try after about 3 hours of research.
[Dell Streak 7] amccue:
I appreciate your work and the personal time you take
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Absolutely Agree
[Dell Streak 7] dhigby:
OK, I'll bite. I'm in Southern Germany and have a Streak 7 3g/wifi with me that won't be seeing much action in the next 3 months while I am traveling a lot. If your friend can help us out I can get it to him.

Anytime Giveen, wish I could do more, but as we all know times are tough haha. As I said, we appreciate all the hard work and time you've been putting in.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Well I really appreciate it. As it is, I should be able to upgrade CPU and get builds going faster.
[Dell Streak 7] k1dtw1st:
can anyone say whether this ROM works with the HDMI out on the home dock?
[Dell Streak 7] k1dtw1st:
ok, second question...hopefully somebody can help me out here. i am not new to rooting android devices and flashing custom roms, but this device has me stumped... I have the Streak 7 rooted on android 2.2.1 with CWM 3.0.2.0. i was only able to flash CWM through the Rom Manager apk, because flashing through fastboot gives me a write failure. in any case, i got CWM and root, but i want to upgrade to this rom. i have been reading various posts for most of the day, but i have not been able to find any instructions that have made this possible for me. if anyone can help out, or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated
[Dell Streak 7] ttrier:
k1dtw1st - are you using fastboot with Linux or Windows? I don't know what what most people use for can versions. I use The Manii' s from a thread in this forum.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Wrong place for this.

You are to use fastboot. If it gives you an error, try upgrading to stock Honeycomb as that is where you are suppose to start.
[Dell Streak 7] k1dtw1st:
Windows
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Please start a thread in the General section.
[Dell Streak 7] k1dtw1st:
no problem
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
For giggles do you guys want me to release a copy of my extreme alpha CM10.1?

Pretty much all the same bugs as CM10 (and probably a few new ones too), but also the menu button doesn't show up, so its a bit difficult to get to the app list. I do believe I need to modify something in the overlay to get it to work, but I've been too busy working on sound.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I say keep it under wraps until its on par with the cm10 build. You are awesome for continuing to build an constantly pushing to the newest aosp version. You don't owe any of us anything, so release what you feel is worthy of use and do what you do man. I have some faith that you are going to figure the little things left out real soon
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I for one would say no to that. Why waste your time? If anything I'd like to have the sdcard issue resolved, not that I'm going to get that. I was going to compared some battery info against my Nexus 10 then I forgot that Battery Monitor Widget's History doesn't work because of the sdcard issue.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
External sd card fixed completely

Internal sd STORAGE broken still, but the app space is work perfectly.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Internal storage fixed, now trying to fix MTP

Wifi.....still not sure on.
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
youre moving along quick man.. if you need any help on anything with it ill do my best to
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Well I have an idea why the wifi isn't loading, but I need to figure it out with logs.

Also, internal SD keeps corrupting everytime I start up the device, so I have to keep reformating it.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Here is why wifi isn't turning on

D/WifiService( 294): setWifiEnabled: true pid=689, uid=1000
E/PrintK ( 294): <3>dhd: version magic '2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.36.3-g02514c7-dirty SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
E/WifiStateMachine( 294): Failed to load driver!
E/WifiStateMachine( 294): DriverFailedState

Looks like dhd.ko isn't the correct one. It needs to match the kernel.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Koush says he is going to kill me

aka, I messed with core files and it detected I did, had to reset and do over.
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
Does this mean he is helping out or is he just laying down a law of sorts? lol
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Well I did what he said not to do above, and it fixed my problems, lol.

Working on wifi still, sound can come later, and also trying to figure out why internal storage keeps corrupting. Nearly got MTP figured out.

You're doing awesome work Giveen! I appreciate it all. I wished I knew how to do half the stuff people like you and Manii and Steve do. Keep it up bro!!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
TheManii, can you tell me the partition table for B4, I am trying to figure out why internal and external storage again aren't mounting right.
[Dell Streak 7] iboware:
is this mean, it will support usb hub mode and the dock too?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
don't know about.dock but OTG should work. Just need to make mount points.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Please make dock work!!! And can I assume if otg is in place it would work through the dock?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
don't have a dock to test. Just have what I see
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
Saw this side thread... I dont know if anyone else has seen it yet or if it will help some at all or not, but thought it interesting in development of CM10.

Well with built-in kernel development, I'm getting no boot, can't see the display, so need to go back because I rather have boot, then not.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah, I may throw a few minutes at storage tomorrow morning.
[Dell Streak 7] k1dtw1st:
took a few tries, but got a successful flash. for some reason, when i flashed twrp recovery, it would not wipe the data and cache partitions, saying that it could not mount E:\. i guess this was causing it to hang at the CyanogenMod boot screen. however, i flashed the stock recovery, then wiped, and it booted just fine
[Dell Streak 7] k1dtw1st:
is this still the propper gapps for this ROM? i have flashed it, but it does not work...figured i'd ensure it is correct, before i start trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong

EDIT: i should clarify that flashing the .zip works; it is the apps themselves that do not work

Not for the DS7. Use this one: http://d-h.st/kwY

No promises yet, but thank you dhigby (for loaning the device) and DerArtem (kernel developer) for updating our kernel to 3.1

I know it hasen't happened yet but this will prepare us for future versions of Android.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
No promises on an unsupported device in the Android world means " I am busting my hump in hopes of...."

Awesome that you've gotten some assistance on the kernel side of things. Press on! You know there's testers in the waits :thumbup:
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Storage 100% fixed

Still working on sound, and progress in camera.

In order for storage to work, we had to switch back to ICS-B4 partition layout, so I will be releasing a NVFLASH pack for this.
[Dell Streak 7] amccue:
Yes. Great work. Also I love nv flash, so easy. You're the man
[Dell Streak 7] calico12:
Thanks for your work.

But there is no way to repair it without changing the partition layout ?

Greetings
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
No. Nearly impossible. The person I talked to said that Dell screwed up on partition layout and chose something that was different. This resulted in the sdcard fuse daeomon being unable to handle it, resulting in only 2gb partition space showing. Now we have 13.8 GB of space.
[Dell Streak 7] tarassor:
Hi all,

i do not want to polute this thread but i did not find any answers...

I updated my S7 from stock HC rom (only rooted + CWM installed) to a previous CM10 from this thread.

ho can i get back to froyo or HC ?

i am downloading a big 1,2Go rar file from the manii's dev host page named nvflash-wifi-imgs but is there a zip witch can be flashe via CWM ?

thanks in advance
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
No, you have to use NVFlash.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I am putting a release on hold for today. Stoage is NOT 100%. It shows it, but when I try to write to it, it says busy or in use.
[Dell Streak 7] tarassor:
Ok i downloaded the whole IMG package from your post in tabletrom forum, i will try soon.

thank you :laugh:

[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
That sounds good! A play on words.:D
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Geremy has an idea for headphones that I am compiling now. I need to fix storage so I can test things like mic because every app I want to test uses a storage. Once I get storage fixed, gallery will work, and I can work on camera.
[Dell Streak 7] m.is.for.michael:
You, sir, will win the internet if you get the camera working.
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
so stoked Giveen.. you are doing some awesome work with Geremy and DerArtem and any one else who has helped. Let me know when a test is ready.. my S7 has been just collecting dust recently so its ready for a flash and test
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I am really trying to nail storage and headphones down before my release tomorrow. I need to use my work's internet to upload.

I'm going to play my game a bit tonight, and then put a couple hours in tonight, as well what I am doing during the day.

This will be a NVFlash pack.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Headphones now fixed :) Productive day so far.
[Dell Streak 7] Geramy:
Wooooo hehe :) I am see'ing if netflix works everyone I will come back with the results if not I will be working on making it work.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Congrats!:highfive:

Does that mean headphones only or speakers also, speaker output is normally just switched OFF when headphones are pilugged in.
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
wptski, look a couple posts up, speakers were fixed first, so both speaker and headphone should now be working :)

Giveen said he is trying to finish fixing storage as it is showing the right amount but not allowing any activity to it and then camera. we're almost there
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Exactly. Speakers AND headphones work now. Storag is showing 13.8GB available and you can install apps to it, but you can't access it as a user space.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
That's why I asked, don't they work together or if one works the other will too?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Not exactly.

LOL, like I've said, I'm a puzzle person, it irritates me to have something not solved.

I don't use earbuds and I think the DS7 came with a pair which I can't find. The speaker volume on one video was so loud I thought that it would pop a speaker and the +/- volume didn't work. No speaker sound on keyboard input either.

Still, a good start. Thanks for all your time spent on this.

Stable = it is right now

Usable = its not 100% functional.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I've bounced back/forth between your CM9/10 builds but sometimes not right away though. True, there isn't that many DS7 users still around. I got a Nexus 10 in November, so that's my main tab.

It's probably at the point now that your going to be doing this for your own pleasure or pain maybe and not because there is a base of users. On the other hand, you've got that guy in Germany that's going to write a new kernel which may pump some life into a dying device. Would you want to give it up with a new kernel coming?

One always has to have some sort-of hobby. :)
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
I am going to be loading the newest build on mine. was waiting for your sound fix since I use it mostly for streaming music and videos and some occasional games. Eventually I am going to use it for Skype and the like, but I can wait on the camera fix for whenever it comes and use my phone on the go if needed.

Giveen, you have been doing those of us who have not gone and gotten the next best thing in tablets a huge favor and it is greatly appreciated. Enjoy your break and hope school goes well. Looking forward to what you do when you return to finish what you've started for us :D
