What frustrates me is I can't test camera

Camera -> Gallery -> Internal Storage. (not working right)
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
There are definitely those of us here that greatly apreciate your efforts. I will be downloading over the next few hours for sure:thumbup:
[Dell Streak 7] PAINiNFLIKTA:
yea you got that right. i have two streak 7's on honeycomb. been lurking for a while now... itching to flash this. was just waiting on sound to be fixed. good ish. def testing in a few.
[Dell Streak 7] s14evil:
I'd love to test, but got a dead pc. So no Nvflash or fastboot. To only way i can test any Rom for any device is via recovery. But good work Giveen
[Dell Streak 7] PAINiNFLIKTA:
flashed the rom. no sound. booted up and runs smooth without gapps, but my wifi doesnt work. it connects to the router, but i have no internet access, no longer can get into recovery.

i flashed again and now i cant boot into fastboot mode.

any ideas? i was on hc before flashing.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
1. Are you on the 4G or the Wifi edition?

2. Did you do the NVFlash or did you grab the files and put them in fastboot?
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
Yea the user base is pretty small by now. But those of us who use it really appreciate the work you do.

"But WHY THE RUM?!!"
[Dell Streak 7] PAINiNFLIKTA:
im on 4g and i used nvflash.

as for recovery i tried a couple times to fastboot flash recovery and said it went through, but i get the flashing red lights still. tried twrp, cyanogenmod and even tried stock recovery and no go.

fastboot works again
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Charge your tablet, and for some reason this doesn't work with 4G.
[Dell Streak 7] PAINiNFLIKTA:
hmm...does cm9 work with the 4g version?. yea im gonna let it charge again and try again. if not might have to swap my 4g version for my girls wifi version lol.

again thanks for this.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah, I find it really odd that 4G model is having issues. Geramy is the one who discovered that my build wasn't working. I probably should update the OP but I thought it was just a fluke.
[Dell Streak 7] PAINiNFLIKTA:
Yea i just use it for the wifi, no data. I went back to 3.2. I will try to flash again tomorrow see if I get the same result.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
ive apparently lost every sd in my house!!

cant install gapps till then

but a quick run at it, besides from already listed issues, was fun and fast
[Dell Streak 7] Geramy:
I am working on making the 4G Streak 7 work giveen has been a great help with doing that with me as he said he needs a break so I will see if I can do this so he doesn't have to it's very difficult to actually find what to do google doesn't help much lol, people on xda don't document anything on how they fixed things so its just test after test :P
[Dell Streak 7] ttrier:
Sound OK

I installed the e version and hadn't heard anything out of the speakers. I went in and turned up the volume. Nothing. Went in and reselected the default notification and it played, loudly, I about jumped off the couch. Bluetooth seems to work. I don't detect GPS working. Movies play with sound! A few programs from the google app store won't load and I think it is because of internal storage. Using Google Play Apps version 3.10.10. Suspect the lastest version of Cyanogen uses the storage subdirectory to sdcard0 and sdcard1 and that the current build is trying to mount symlink sdcard. Just a guess. Very pleased and hope Geramy can continue on while Giveen is at school. Getting ready to start in a week myself to take an internship.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yes.

Actually the way it works is

CM10 sdcard fuse daemon mounts at /storage/sdcard0 (which I have set), ->symlinked to /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard because external (internal) storage is recognized at those locations.

However at this current moment, either the symlinks aren't working the way I want them to, or the internal partitions aren't mapping the way I want them to.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Thank you so much Bradley F. :) for the awesome donation.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
A big thank you to all the donators. I am purchasing a FX-8350 to replace my Phenom II X3. Current build time is 26 minutes for CM 10. I am hoping to get builds down to 15-20 minutes.

The faster I build, the quicker I can test. Current Geramy (small assistance from me) is porting a new kernel for us. I am also assuming that DerArtem got the tablet we sent him and might start porting a 3.1 kernel for us.

I am taking a two week break. Doing research, getting questions answered, and prepping for school.

After the two weeks maybe I'll have some answers.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Very sad morning :(

Thanks to the generious donations I've gotten, I purchased the FX-8350, a huge upgrade over my old CPU and would have extremely helped build times.

4 cores - > 8 cores

3 ghz -> 4 ghz

For the past couple months, I've noticed Windows and Linux had a hard time shutting down, it wasn't a big deal, I just thought it was my weird partition layout on my hard drive.

So I shut down my computer, pull out the box, and notice my printer USB cable is completely frayed. Cats got to it. Whatever, just move on....

Install new CPU, boot up computer, select Linux from GRUB, it starts booting, then reboots

Odd, select Windows from GRUB, it BOSD. Select Windows Safe Mode, it BOSD on a video card driver

So I remove the video card and go to the on board. Same results on Windows, but Linux should have not cared, but it also reboots

So I shut it down to go get some coffee, come back and I try to boot it up again. BEEP BEEP, oh crap.

Go look up the code and it says Circuit Parity. So I go through the cycle of checking RAM, removing all hardware except what is needed, same thing BEEP BEEP.

So basically what happened was my cats chewed on my USB cable, causing a short circuit on the motherboard resulting in ultimately a total failure.

I am 20 days off from my warrenty on it, so I can't replace it that way. Sadness.

The good news is at my church I have a potential buyer of my old CPU for $75. This should cover a a slightly better motherboard, basically the same except supports more sticks of RAM.
[Dell Streak 7] mon5trum:
Good luck with everything! I have a puppy that also likes to chew on cables as well!

[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
And he isnt going to buy right now :( Trying on Craigslist otherwise I am going to have to wait till March 1st.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Bradley, you are a life saver!! I can't thank you enough!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
So a bit of an update:

1. Through generous donations, I got my new CPU, an FX-8350, put it in, turns out my motherboard was on its last legs, it died. Through another donation, I purchased a newer model of my motherboard that supports 2x the amount of RAM, so I am ready for future upgrades. New motherboard will be here today.

2. I have a patch that might fix storage. I am waiting for confirmation from the writer of the patch that it will work on CM10, since it was designed for CM10.1

3. DerArtem has the Dell Streak 7 that was loaned to him and will start looking at it this weekend, and hopefully will be able to port a 3.1 kernel for us.

4. In the mean time, Geramy and I have been working on a 2.6.39 (ours is current 2.6.36.3), and we have it to the point where it shows the Dell logo, then does the bright screen Dell logo, and thats were we are currently stopped at.
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
Congrats on the upgrades and big thanks to those who helped you in them. We appreciate all your hard work as well as those now working along side you. I did not get to load the latest build due to home life but will be looking to this weekend. despite the few quirks it has I am all for it.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Well the patch for storage looks promising and the sound issue I am going to have to turn debugging back on and figure out why its hard to control and so freakin loud.
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
all i can say is atleast at this point it is working haha
[Dell Streak 7] Geramy:
4G Version

Hello everyone sorry I have been working on the 2.6.39 kernel for Jelly Bean so I havn't had much time to fix the issue with the 3G/4G Streak 7 devices not having internet with WiFi but hopefully if I get this kernel port done we won't have to make another fix because that kernel supports IPv6 natively I believe the issue right now is with IPv6 and since it has a telephone card as the kernel calls it lol it must be stuck on being enabled. I think I could fix the WiFi not working have to go poking around in the old 2.6.34 kernel :)
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Im a bit lost, but the 506 kernel already supports ipv6 over wifi.

Dont know if it supports it over cellular, the baseband might not support ipv6.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
CM10 and CM10.1 were throwing IPv6 errors, so I have it turned off in my current build on my machine.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
After a year since I got my streak.... Its been my favorite thread to follow and watch things progress over time. It has been a pure demonstration of perseverance on Giveen's part and so glad he isn't a quitter!

Thanks to the guys that have been working alongside and have stepped up to do kernel work and the donations..... Its great to see Giveen not by himself and you guys are keeping this device alive!
[Dell Streak 7] Geramy:
Sadly it throws a IPv6 error saying the Protocol does not exist lol

https://github.com/DerArtem/android_device_dell_streak7/commits/cm10.1

So here is what is coming. Thanks to the user dhigby, I have gotten a device over to expert Tegra 2 developer DerArtem.

Expect sometime in the near future to have a great build done by him.
[Dell Streak 7] dhigby:
Wow, look at him go!!! Some major hacking going on there!

Sent from my HTC One S
[Dell Streak 7] azrael293:
Bad ass ;D
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yeah he is a lot better than I am. He did say our tablet was nicer than the ones he is use to working on.

Basically he took my work and getting rid of all the bugs I struggled with.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
This is all being done for CM10.1?

So is it safe to assume cm10 production has ended(as well as cm9) and in combo with the updates to the kernel... We are looking forward to the latest n greatest in future builds being 4.2.1 ???

Cuz that would just be solo badass
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I'm going to say yes, that CM10 is over and we are going to CM10.1, I had some stuff setup for CM10.1, but I wasn't ready to release because somethings were not working correctly for me. He is now fixing all my mistakes and bugs.

I just got up and saw him hard at work on his github. I try to emulate his work on my local device to check his work out.

Oh yeah, and there will be 3G support.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Coming soon.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:

[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
How did you manage to hook up with this person?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I knew him from TabletROms.com and various other sites.
[Dell Streak 7] amccue:
Dude. So awesome. I want it so bad. Thinking you will be able to release this today or tomorrow? You're just teasing us with that screenshot haha
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
No. :)

As soon as he feels its complete and I've duplicated his work on a WiFi edition, then we will release.

Oh yeah, wifi isn't working yet.
[Dell Streak 7] amccue:
I can understand, and I can wait. It's just exciting to see him crank through those fixes.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
So the last alpha was back to using non stock partition layout

Has it been decided this is required for all future released? Or are the fixes being put in place falling back on as close to stock as possible again(I don't even know if that made sense :confused: )

I guess I'm wondering what I should spend some downtime doing... Nvflash back to 2.2 and up to honeycomb to be ready for future release? Or if it will be possible to just nvflash a new build on top of the current alpha. Or is there any chances of getting a solid base for future flashes through twrp(I do recall that being a goal way back when)

I am a WiFi only device user. I assume the same work to a kernel would apply to both devices. But while you are building I ask this:

Would there be an advantage(battery perhaps) to remove the objects that call on a radio for information?

Its not terribly difficult at all to put on airplane mode and turn on the WiFi as I've done in every build this far. Just thinking from a system performance as well as aesthetics(no unnecessary signal bars or airplane mode) that you might explore removing these things that are in place for a WiFi only version(again assuming you plan to have to seperate versions)

Do cm branches even differentiate between tablet and phone for base? Or is it device specific commits?

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

I hope I'm not seen as making demands or ungrateful for all the works being put in. Just trying to understand as my learning some thangs is a wip and hoping user input adds to a great final product
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Okay here goes my attempt too explain some stuff.

We all have 4g versions. The card reader was removed join the WiFi edition but the radio is still in there.

Battery shouldn't be an impact as in the init script I will place the thing that detects if its WiFi and shuts off the ril.

When cm10.1 comes out it will be in a nvflash pack. This will set up the partitions the way I think is best. I'm pretty sure the last alpha I put out was the correct layout but I want to make sure everyone is there.

Storage works perfectly this way.

Goal is to build a current twrp and cwr, and I still hope to build zips. Hopefully this will result in small zips being pushed out with weekly patch updates.

Currently I am helping research camera and GPS. I am tempted to release a Beta, but with how successful DerArtem's been, I want to give it a bit longer to see if these get worked out. WiFi is still a bit buggy but he says its an easy fix. It just needs a file. I have been duplicating his work on my end. He had a 4g model and I want to make sure it works in wifi model as well.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
I havnt had a chance to actually check a wifi model, but I'd imagine the radio isnt there and the micro pcie socket is also missing.

Can you actually confirm though the kernel that there actually is a radio in wifi models?

It wouldnt make sense to include it as it'd cost money to add additional components that arnt use and are socketed anyway.

If they're using it for the GPS module though I guess that would make sense, as the EM820U/W does do gps also.

The S10 definitely has an empty socket as the cellular model was never released.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you want to build ICS or JB branch recoveries? I havnt updated CWM or TWRP as their ICS branch ones are no longer being updated.

I can upload the sources for my TWRP and CWM builds if you want, there's not much inside but they can build the ICS branch ones.

The JB branch one changes the install script API, and the mount syntax changed. I'm not sure if ICS scripts are forward compatable, but JB ones are definitely not backwards compatable.

I havnt bothered building JB branch ones since most users dont really read the readmes anyway.

Having a JB compatable script != a jb rom, and same for ICS scripts and roms.

You saw this issue previously when you built CM10 as an update zip, it uses the JB script syntax and wouldnt flash on my (current) recs as they're ICS script syntax.

Whatever you do I'd prefer if you didnt deviate too far from how mine are set up, or at least label yours differently.

We only avoided this issue with our twrp builds as mine were built for stock layouts and yours were for streak7dm.

I could have built streak7dm versions, but I only have 1 device, it's a hassle to constantly switch back and fourth to test if it's compatable with both layouts.

I can build JB level recs with both streak7 and streak7dm if requested, and if someone can actually test the streak7dm ones for me.

I will always be staying on streak7, next time I try CM10/10.1 I will release an update zip of the current version for streak7 if you have not already.

I dont remember if I repackaged CM10 recently, the lack of rotation makes it hard to use as a daily.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
4g is built into the gps, and it is in the kernel, it would just take extra hardware.

I'm not quite sure how recovery is going to work out. Currently my last tarp seems to work, but I don't think it does because of the changes. Look at the new init on my GitHub.

The layout should be the ext layout.

http://teamw.in/androidmultiuser

DerArtem says the cwr built with cm10.1 works
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Do you wish to actively build your own?

I already have streak7ex ones built, and have been using it for a while.

All that's left is to simply upload it at least.

At least for 4.2, we would need JB level builds for multiuser support.

You could disable multiuser and bypass the issue, but it's not that much work to migrate to JB level recs.

I'm going to build streak7/streak7ex/streak7dm versions of CWM/JB and TWRP/JB soon then as I have a valid reason now.

If you wish to use my builds or use your own is up to you.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
We are putting in multi user last time he and I talked this morning. I'm not sure yet who is going to be building recovery
[Dell Streak 7] protoadies:
I'm lost

Maybe somebody can help me it's has been a long time since i updated a new rom onto my wifi streak.... I am currently running streak droid something... My old memory is kicken my ass these days how do i install via NVflash. I downloaded the lastest version here sell streak 7 v1.1e... now what is my next step.. My pc doesn't see the dell steak drivers.. i can access the internal memory but under device manager it still shows needs drivers. Most drivers i find throughout xda the file is no longer found or hosted.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
if you are using the nvflash version (which at the moment is the only version), you need to enter APX mode before you flash it.
[Dell Streak 7] protoadies:
thank you

Thank you very much for you fast reply i am very grateful for everybody hard work there are putting into this old retired device. I knew it had to be something so simple to flash NVflash.... its installing now and i will keep you updated. I will be giving my tablets to my children there 7 and 8 i have 2 streak 7s. They love the game Ice Age does anyone know if this will play that game if not no big deal they have a bunch of other games to choose from.... I will defiantly start keeping up with the development and seeing these fixes and updates over the past 2 weeks is blowing my mind. Keep up the great work thank you
[Dell Streak 7] mon5trum:
Man I am getting si exited! :D my wife keeps nagging me to get rid of my streak 7 but once you release a new version it should keep my wife off my back! :D

I just need to get this stupid wifi going and I"ll release a beta build while we work on camera and gps.

But this wifi is acting all funny.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
What is the issue with WiFi?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
See above.

I can turn wifi on

I can see access points, ie my router

I can type in my password

I can hit connect but it doesnt.
[Dell Streak 7] mon5trum:
If I may be so bold to ask but have tried to connect to different access points both secure and unsecured?

sent from outer space with the power of ANDROID! ^_^
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
It turns out that I did upload streak7ex versions of CWM and TWRP:

<Dev Host>/Misc/ClockWorkMod/S7ex-6.0.1.2.img

<Dev Host>/Misc/Team Win Recovery/S7ex-2.2.2.1.img

You can test against those if you wish, they're old so they're still ICS level recoveries.

When I port the JB level ones, i'll release the streak7/streak7ex/streak7dm ones all side by side, though I cant test the dm ones.

Regardless of who's recovery you decide to use: I strongly recommend sticking with a consistant device naming scheme (mainly in the update script).

Unless your mounts are layout agnostic, update zips should be designed to fail if they're flashed on the wrong layout, as they would get confused mounting partitions.
[Dell Streak 7] protoadies:
So I did the nvflash of 1.1e and it runs really smooth, one issue though maybe its a user error ie me but my tablet can no lo her see my sd card. Also speaking of WiFi issues it won't connect to my router which is wep 2 or something like that . But it connects just fine to my neighbors which is unsecure.
[Dell Streak 7] Vernox701:
I'm running cm10.1 on my Incredible wifi doesn' connect to secured networks the work around was to use hostapd from cm10 located in system/bin
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
THanks :) But different drivers. the bcmdhd is where I want to be, I just need to figure out how to port it into my kernel. I've got a good lead on that but for now I want to try it with the matching drivers and firmware.

It just doesnt make much sense fo rwifi, it was working in CM10, and nothing has changed on my end.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I was all excited this morning to put out a small CM10 update which would have fixed internal storage to show 2GB but allow it to be accessible, sound is working perfectly, and you can access gallery/internal storage.

But I can't seem to get it to flash GAPPS and when I manually installed the app store, it wouldn't allow me to add an account.
[Dell Streak 7] ttrier:
Sometimes I've had luck using an older version of GAPPS. Don't mind me. I'm just excited about all the progress.
