Was just about to say that.

Basically what I am doing, in order to justify my time, is only making releases (because people have to buy them) when I actually have something to release. I just discovered why rotation sensors haven't been working and my next build will include a fix for it. Because it will be a patch rather than a major build, it will be sold for much much less (like $0.50) My main build (which is the NVFlash pack) will stay at $2, but the OTA packages that can be flashed from recovery will be for $0.50.
[Dell Streak 7] mon5trum:
Just a couple quick questions. Giveen you mentioned earlier about progress with the camera, so how is that going? And. Will this include future updates for the ROM in a one time donation or will we have to donate for updates as well? I don't mind donating several times but just like you giveen I have to justify any purchases to the wife no matter how small!

Stormtrooped out S2, hitting its mark with AOSPA 3+!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Camera starts to load, then crashes.

Updates will be $0.50 (50 cents) and will only come when I have MAJOR updates (like sensors is my next step). And of course this will include all the android patches for the past X weeks. I completely understand several purchases and I am extremely trying to limit those. I am trying to figure out a way to do a "subscription" service with the hosting company I use. I think it would be cool to do a $15 payment and get a year of updates.

My company charges me 5% fee, so a $0.50 update would only net them $0.02 (2 cents).

Another thing I am working on is separating wifi and 4G models. This will greatly improve the performance and battery life of the wifi model.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Okay, the company say there should be a way to do a subscription service, trying to get them to explain exactly how to do it.

Also, minimum price they let me set for a product is $0.90, so its important to me to figure out how to set up a subscription service.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Would you guys rather have sensors (light/rotation) or microphone?
[Dell Streak 7] Vernox701:
Is it one over the other or first choice?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Just preference for focus of my time.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Sensors, I don't use the mic.

I just installed it, tried doing a "adb devices" and it showed "offline". I looked at the screen and had that popup that was discussed a while back and after blowing by, it dawned on me what it was. The second try "adb devices" showed the device online.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Exactly! You need the newest version of ADB, and approve of the RSA certificate.

Sensors then it is :) I have the needed Android drivers for libsensors but they are for Qualcomm devices and I need to modify it to work with Tegra.
[Dell Streak 7] greenzone560:
This is a really noob thing to do, but I bought the update but im on honeycomb. Can you provide a recovery flashable zip?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Its part of the nvflash pack, no need for a ota.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Microphone sorta works, only when you have headphones plugged in.

Camera starts up then crashes.
[Dell Streak 7] greenzone560:
I click on install android 4.2.2.bat but it just flashes and nothing happens. Im on honeycomb! maybe drivers issue? I said nothing about ota.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Put your device into APX mode. (Pressing both volumes at the same time and then plugging it into the USB port).

Install the NVFlash APX drivers from Device Manager

Run the batch file.

I Hello I updated my Dell Streak 7 Tablet andoird 4.2.1 I have a problem when I put the music I do not hear it in my headphones (Casque) plays only in the speaker that it is normal or should I do Manipulation of.
[Dell Streak 7] greenzone560:
hey how long does it take to install? the .bat file quits and it just sits there in APX mode...i havent done this in a long time, so forgive me.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
In Device Manager under USB devices do you see "Nvidia recovery" or something like that?

It should take 2-5 minutes.
[Dell Streak 7] greenzone560:
Yes I see it, but after I run the .bat it copies some files over to the device then closes. Nothing else happens. The device just sits there in APX mode.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Try going to a commandline, and then running the batch and see where it ends at.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
That's the way it finishes. Unplug it from your PC and boot it up. The first boot will take a bit longer, stays on the colored "X" a while. I went into TWRP and installed the latest Gapps package myself.

Hi Gang,

I have a Dell Streak running CM9 ICS-B4, can anyone comment on the stability difference between the CM10.1 beta 2.1 and CM9 beta4 ? On CM9 Beta4, the biggest problem I was going through was Trebuchet 0.1 (yes it's as stable as that sounds) crashed every two seconds and so I switched to ADW Launcher and now I can go about 5-10x as long without crashing, but it still eventually happens. Whether or not the Beta 2.1 is as stable (cough), I did just support the developer, because this is important to me: PayPal transaction ID: 7JN04106P34376227. Right now my Dell Streak is only partially useful and I would to have it running on a stable relatively recent version of Android. I bought mine refurbished and it also seems to have a defective battery and is out of warranty.

Thanks,

Christian
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Stability is improved, but AOSP keyboard tends to crash because of memory issues. Work around is to download a 3rd party keyboard app which solves. I'm still working on the kinks. If you want to wait, until things get better or you like where you are at, then wait.

In the first error it fails to initialize the framework (obviously) can that really be connected to the memory?

Does that mean adb should work?

1. When I connect with usb, I only get this (linux, obviously):

enabling and disabling usb debugging in the developer settings is an instant reboot for me.

Disclaimer: I have built from your latest github cm10.1 commit.

(not to jeopardize your "business model" but I could set up nightly builds of OTA updates somewhere)

2. On a related note: Is it possible to create nvflash packages that do not discard all data when flashing? (and is there a good guide to creating nvflash images? I haven't found one that really explains what is going on)

3. For the crashing keyboard I can recommend google's keyboard app from the play store. It's not "available" for the streak 7, but you can download the apk, e.g. http://dl.androidnext.de/com.google.android.inputmethod.latin.apk

4. Anything on the radar for CyanogenMod 10.2 already?

5. Am I the only one with severe performance issues when the ram gets full? I'm talking about the complete UI including the power button not responding for 10-30 seconds and then several apps running in the background giving ANR messages (I also have enabled "show all ANRs"). If you view the report it shows that apps spend an awful lot of time in iowait when hanging. Maybe the flash chip just goes bad, but on the other hand, as long as much ram is free it really has awesome speed.

My remedy so far is in the developer settings setting a background process limit of at most 1 process and using directinject which is just a collection of ugly hacks but it does make a difference and also setting zram to the maximum, allowing purging of assets and overclocking to 1424 MHz (don't overclock higher, the streak 7 will just freeze all the time)
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I am not using CM anymore.

You aren't having RAM full issues, you are having logcat dumping into RAM performance issues because of USB errors. My newest build has very few performance issues and I'm limiting even though down even further.

I could careless if you built.
[Dell Streak 7] ccxxx:
Not at all? What else then? And will you still be updating your github repository?

I have read that several times now, but I don't see anything about that "logspam" in logcat, dmesg nor /proc/kmsg. I again did read the last conversation since you mentioned the problem but have only gotten from it that I should see it in logcat, right?

[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
I know this is in beta, so I don't wish to sound overcritical. Maybe I did something wrong when I installed... I don't know. But I installed this last night, and it is practically unusable. I get so much lag that the OS pops-up messages that the program is not responding, do I want to kill it or wait. If I hit wait, then a second or two later, the app responds. I've had this in the Play Store, Dropbox, and other apps. I also had several crashes - some to the desktop and some to the lock screen (which I had never seen before). Everything is very slow to respond, even my touches of the screen.

Should I wipe it and reinstall? Or is this what others are seeing too and I should just be patient and wait until it is out of beta?
[Dell Streak 7] ccxxx:
Basically my 5. point: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44055177&postcount=684

I think rambooster from directinject makes the biggest difference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2158329

after flashing the zip, just run rambooster as root in a terminal and choose to increase the minfree value. I haven't really looked it up, but I think this just tunes android's "native" limits.

I have not dared to look at what else it does. It's probably a lot of ugly hacks, but all in all it helps for me. Of course, it may create any unexpected problem.

The problem is that android is supposed to kill processes when no ressources are free, but it obviously doesn't do it enough right now on the streak 7. In the developer settings at the very bottom you can also set that a long press on the back key will kill the current active app. If you have a huge app lilke chrome open and experience the lag and then kill it this way, you instantly see it getting much better.

By the way: Was there any conclusion as to whether increasing the available entropy did prevent some performance problem through whatever unobvious mechanism?
[Dell Streak 7] solidsnake66:
After a while of not using my streak 7 I decided to blow off the dust and load it up with this rom.

I flashed it no problem, but when trying to follow the instruction to update from "Goo Manager" I get a message that there are no compatible roms and giveen doesn't show up as a dev to download from.

Also How do I tell which version I am actually running? I don't know how to tell which beta I have loaded right now.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I'm having zero lag issues and is very usable. Try wiping cache.

If you are expecting the performance and perfection of a modern device, I suggest you not use a device from 2010.

There is a delay sometimes when downloading things, which could be your issue. This has to do with wifi drivers. Just sit back and be patient for a second.
[Dell Streak 7] Tom2112:
I must have done something wrong then. The lag and crashing that I'm seeing isn't just an old CPU running a new OS.

I'll wipe it. Redownload the ROM and reinstall and see if that helps. Maybe my download was corrupted.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
Compared to 4.2.1, my DS7 is slower to boot and generally slower on everything. I've had it twice hang on shutdown. The last time I tried all soft buttons and a power button depress. A few seconds later, it rebooted and when shutdown again, it did that normally.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I've had hang on shutdown since ICS, but it happens only on occasion.

Old horse :(
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Don't have access to a PC for flashing for a few weeks. Wondering if I can do a donation govern, and you can provide just a twrp flashable of the latest update (boot.img/recovery.img/system.img)

Autorotation doesn't work.

AOKP Wallpapers (swag papers) crash.

Should it work?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
not sure about the wallpapers.

Rotation doesn't work as the sensors are huge pain to work with. They are AKM (a company) based which there is no Tegra HAL's for as AKM is generally on Qualcomm devices. I'm currently on working on that.

I can't believe giveen is still stringing you idiots along. You're right it has been YEARS. Now I know why he always got so pissed about asking for ETA'S. LOL. Because the estimated time of arrival was going to be years down the road. And it's still freaking BETA! And he wants to charge you for it! Ha ha ha ha ha.

I donated to DJ Steve because he actually made something that worked. The CM10 Roms have been a real disappointment, but they were free so no big deal. I finally gave up when the DRM was screwed up and Netflix wouldn't work.

Take my advice, nothing better is going to come along on this device. Go back to froyo, install go launcher, give it to your girlfriend and buy a nexus 7.

Whether it has taken days, months or years Giveen has put in the time when no one else has taken up the mantle. The fact that people are coming into this thread and bashing the work he has done is wrong, no matter if he is asking a small fee (which any app developer does to get by mind you).

I tried to write a post on the open source project thread, and was told I couldn't.

Basically just wanted to say thank you to ccxxx and govern for their collaboration and sharing of work.

I flashed the 8/25 build today and am loving the switch to an aokp base. Lots more tab friendly customization and its been fun playing with what feels like a new tablet.

Been testing some scripts and tweaks. Will report back if I find a good combination for a performance enhancement.

Also, big thanks for working through that peckerhead hating on your efforts.... Don't let an ungrateful guy like that slow ya down.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I noticed after flashing the build by ccxxx that the kernel still shows the same title as previous builds from Giveen.

... I thought there had been an upgrade to a newer kernel version. Is it included in ccxxx's 8/25 build?

Also wanted to point out that I have flashed a script called Operation Killjoy(formerly known as DirectInject) which introduces entropy and a "boost" command via terminal which frees lost ram.

Greatly benefits overall performance quite a bit, reduces lag for sure. Also not experiencing crashes of the keyboard. I'll post the link to the operationKilljoy thread later
