ccxxx's kernel is mine.

As of right now, the sensors work on his build, and I'm trying to figure out why. Waiting to see if he forgot to commit something or I need to redownload my source.
[Dell Streak 7] ccxxx:
As far as I know only https://github.com/ChristophHaag/an...mmit/24c4b5215e352261e6c75a43a6963b26d18e1581 might be missing but it shouldn't change anything I would presume.

There was giveen/android-tegra-nv-3.1.10-rel-15r7 but it didn't even compile. I just directly use https://github.com/giveen/kernel_dell_streak7 right now

It was a hassle so I changed to using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.memory.manager that only changes android's own values and does nothing else (as I understand it).

I use the "extreme" preset for dat buttery smooth performance but it causes recent apps to be killed quite quickly.

In the rom control settings in general ui there's also a way to enable a "kill all button" in the recent apps that kills all recent apps and enabling "hardware back to kill" is a way to kill the current foreground app with a long press on back. These are nice for this device that has some problems with the auto killer.

Too early, I didn't do anything substantial yet. :)

I can recommend in the rom settings in general ui setting ui mode to tablet for the notification bar being merged with a navigation bar at the bottom and then in the notification bar settings (still in rom control) adding a button for "last app". Makes multi tasking often a bit quicker. And the navigation bar is good for me anyway because a long press on the dedicated home button doesn't send a keycode at all currently.

You just want to get chewed out by the Dev don't you?

I'll just tell you this, the ds7 is in low priority for the devs, and if you want to reverse back to stock there are some tutorials in the development section of the ds7. Just look for it!

If it will have no video drivers for nvidia like it was in jb - it is useless, coz you can't even use navigation on it, it stutters too much, not saying the 3d games do not run at all or with awful bugs and very slow.

Are you expecting a KITCat ROM for the DS7 soon? I'd forget about that happening, soon if at all.
[Dell Streak 7] mon5trum:
I agree first we have to see what would be missing, if we would have the same issues as jb, and if we would need a new kernel like we did for JB. It is a long process and since it is a low priority device might as well give it a couple of months to see what happens.

Install CM10.2

Hi,

I am trying to install the CM10.2 on my Dell streak 7 but i could not find the file (link is broken).

I googled and i found the http(secure)sellfy.com/p/5ei2/

where you can download the file by paying 1.5EUR. I paid and downloaded the file Android422_Dell_Streak7_Windows.zip

Inside the file there is no TXT or DOC file explaining how to flash the Dell Streak 7.

I unzip the file to C: and using cmd i run file Install Android 4.2.2.bat but it says "USB Devide not found"

giveen can you explain us how to flash the Dell Stream 7 from the factory ROM to your CM ROM?

Regards,

John

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

I found the solution to HOW TO FLASH THE ROM!!!

You need to go to APX mode.

To go to APX mode you need

1. while your Dell Stream 7 is powered off (without its special power cable being connected on it) you press and hold the Volume + and Volume - and Power On the device.

2. you go to windows 7 settings and update the driver from directory APX_NVFLASH_drivers the Zip file Android422_Dell_Streak7_Windows provided

3. Then you go to directory Android422_Dell_Streak7_Windows > Android 4.2.2 and run the Install Android 4.2.2.bat and NOW IT DOES NOT SAYS THE "USB Device not found" ERROR and completed the CM10.2 Update successfully!!!

Then you enter recovery mode using Volume + and Power ON and select to install file gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip that you have placed inside the Deel Streak 7 SD Card!!!

Enjoy!!!

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

Looks like the gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip freezes the tablet at boot up :( I Will test other versions of gapps-jb... Be warned!!!
[Dell Streak 7] Agent5150:
Did you get gapps to work? if so, which one did you use?

Does anyone knows if the Streak 7 Dock works with this rom?

using stock Honeycomb and its a dog. wondering if its worth it to try this rom.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Dock works.

Gapps work, just find one that is for JB

You'll have to be comfy tweaking some settings for performance to get the most out of the streak. Multi tasking is not very efficient. There are many suggestions throughout the thread. Just keep in mind this devices development is dead, so don't expect support.

Check out operation killjoy or cross breeder scripts. They help a bit(install through recovery)
[Dell Streak 7] Agent5150:
Ok so got the rom installed without issues, booted fine, installed gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip but can't use gmail / maps / google+

play store works fine.

Installed Killjoy and do see better UI performance but doesn't really help with apps like map/navigation. GPS is not locking on location.

will try cross breed script next.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
There was a gapps package linked in the other thread. Do a search for "non-neon jb gapps". Then make sure play services updates.

I go into dev options and turn off animations and set background process limit to 3.
[Dell Streak 7] Agent5150:
Thank you. installed non-neon jb gapps and turned of animation and background processes limit to 3. No scripts.

i just took the boot and system images and dropped em into the beta 1 folder and flashed.... should be the same thing right Giveen?

nvflashed fine, enabled storage(3 dot overflow wasn't enabled this time???) copied over the 121212 gapps, recovery, flash gapps, reboot, set up, restoring google backup now.

have to goto work for a meeting :-/ but i'll come back to a restored device and ill go through the testing phases again(gps and bluetooth)

i did try Google now, still same issue with it closing seconds after it loads up

not sure if you made any adjustments to reduce lag, or if the system is just so busy restoring apps that's it's bogging down, but didnt notice any improvement yet.

For those that care, i did up the cpu to 1200 in performance settings/developer options and it helped last night before todays new build. will try the same later on this build

**** mess with min/max cpu settings at your own risk!!!!! do not go ape shiz and ruin your processor!

We did do something that I've read is suppose to help a bit.

[Dell Streak 7] webdroidmt:
Been testing the new beta, the wifi issues I had with beta1 are gone. Browsing is running smoothly and Play Store downloads appear normal. MTP file transfer is working, once you enable it in the storage menu.

Permissions has been acting weird with both superuser & the newest SuperSU, gonna' try an older SuperSU version, see if that makes a difference. Also, I 'm using Holo Launcher HD and it's pretty smooth. Although, overall, this build is smoother than beta 1 anyway. I did jack up the max cpu to 1232 with No Frills CPU and it's running pretty well.

Ive been using nova prime, use it on all my android devices, much prefered over trebuche. honestly didnt even give trebuchete a chance, sorry

did you have a peticular launcher in mind?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
No, I just wanted to see if the launcher is what is lagging
[Dell Streak 7] webdroidmt:
Well, SuperSU 1.04 is now working correctly but the binary update kept failing. I checked system dir with Root Explorer and it showed only 16kb available, which I figured is why SuperSU couldn't update the binary file in xbin.

I went into the /system/media folder and deleted the videos, now I've got approx 6mb in system, SU binary installed properly. I also installed Crossbreeder and I'm not seeing much lag at all.

Been checking back & forth between Trebuchet and Holo, both have just the slightest lag but straighten out after a few seconds. I just prefer using Holo for the features.

There shouldn't be a lack of space. I assigned a 400MB space for system and apps should also go to /storage
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
That is a good GPS fix. I use it. My Streak lives on a dock mounted in my dash as a head unit. I almost always have music playing in background with Google maps open while I drive.
[Dell Streak 7] Agent5150:
Hmm...that fix will not install via recovery. Will try manually.

I bought this Streak 7 for exact same purpose as yours ;).. what music player will you recommend ? And are you using any carmode/dash app?
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I use a paid app called N7player. You can find on Google play. Mostly use that out of habit on multiple devices over the past few years. I've just become used to its layout and a nice pinch to zoom album art display makes navigating the app easy for me while driving. Also use a blacked out Apollo sometimes. In addition, I use Google Music, TuneIn (paid version) for radio stations, viral YouTube app works well as a YouTube alternative which will play in background(good for YouTube playlist playback) and Pandora with a Pandora patcher that gives ya the Pandora|One experience.

My streak tethers to my phone, I have a pretty strong LTE connection so streaming goes just fine. No dock/car app or ui. Just a well organized home screen setup with easy access to what I use most.

May I suggest avoiding any apps which you know to hog memory and/or computing power as it (such as Facebook for example) because it really bogs down your system. Use browser for stuff like that when needed.

And using a script that enables some sort of entropy is recommended for sure. Definitely speeds up the system. Also setting oom values to something more aggressive makes performance better by giving the foreground app more priority and kills background apps more efficiently.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yes, since I did both.
[Dell Streak 7] Agent5150:
Giveen & ElfinJNoty, thank you for helping out with JB experiment on my Streak 7, but I can't seem to get it stable enough to put it in my car and run google maps and music player at the same time. Maps lags and freeze and its useless at that point.

So, now, how do I got back to stock Honeycomb or Froyo (if that is the only way back from this JB CM10.1).

Is this the right method? OP doesn't talk about how to revert the partition from 10.1 CM to stock. And the links to img files needed are dead :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011654

thanks again.
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
To revert to original partition, you need to restore to 2.2

And of course you can't run three things at the same time, its a 2010 device, what did you expect ;)
[Dell Streak 7] Agent5150:
Got this S7 for $39. Was worth a try :) so how do I restore 2.2?
[Dell Streak 7] Agent5150:
Ok. Found Froyo revert details and nvflash files and got my S7 back to stock 2.2.2. Its working way better than Honeycomb. I can multitask and switch b/w Nav/power amp/torque pro. Next step: mount it in my car as head unit. ;)
[Dell Streak 7] Epiclectic:
After many rom attempts, I am lost... best ROM for multitasking?

Can someone advise on best ROM for multitasking? I just want to use my DS7 in the car for maps and pandora simultaneously, with occasional sigalert for traffic. I can't access apx/NVflashing due to my VMware fusion version of windows 8 won't let me change the settings to accept unsigned apx drivers.... is there a ROM I can install without these apx drivers? (by fastboot, or adb or twrp?)

{sys info} DS7 wifi model running HC 3.2 (kernel 2.6), build 19534. 1 GB SD card installed. For adb/fastboot, I'm using a macbookpro running Windows 8x64 via VMware fusion.

{Background} I have previously rooted/rom'd Samsung epic/relay/galaxy s4, my new 1+1, and my tronsmart vega tv unit. I am more experienced with Odin than fastboot, but learning fast, lol.

Thanks in advance to giveen and all who have worked on this tablet, I realize this is an old platform and many other projects beckon to you guys. :fingers-crossed:
[Dell Streak 7] ccxxx:
If you're using vmware anyway, why not install ubuntu linux and use the linux version of nvflash? It should not require any additional drivers there, just the nvflash binary: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Nvflash

But: Not every nvflash version works with this tablet. When I first tried it on linux, some nvflash binary I downloaded somewhere just wouldn't flash the image (it did not break anything, just wouldn't succeed). Then I googled for another one and that one worked then. I don't really remember where I got it and I don't quickly find it on my hard drive, so...
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
To be honest.... I haven't found any of the buds I have found to be stable enough for good multitasking. I think the kernal being so old really hinders the hardware. I know I have done everything I can to get the latest jellybean ROM to be stable and added some scripts which help, performance wise its either real quick and snappy, or heavily bogged down. I try not to have anything running in background, and it still struggles at times. Usually just stick to one foreground app at a time, and kill off whatever was opened previously
[Dell Streak 7] Epiclectic:
After posting last I tried again and was able to get the unsigned apx drivers accepted, and got cm10.1 installed.

- added memory-manager and clean master

- killed animations

- limited background to 3 apps

- added swiftkey kybd (for # row and less ram use).

- installed killjoy and set the tweaks you advised (dnsmasq & entropy on, boost, and your cputuner settings)

- installed gmaps and copilot (to compare), pandora, and gps status.

and my streak is nearly unusable. maps launch goes white screen for 2 minutes then FC. while installing clean master, it went black screen for 4 minutes, then rebooted. I just want to run maps and pandora, but now this thing won't run hardly anything.

what am I missing here? and what does "kill media server" do?

thx
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Try this ROM instead.... I suggest doing what ya did(you didn't mention doing reboots) disable he overlay as well, don't install gapps and sideload whatever apps you want. There is also a thread for setting up a swap partition which helps here in the Streak 7 thread....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2413390

..
[Dell Streak 7] Epiclectic:
Sorry, yes, I rebooted (power off, twrp, fix permissions) after each major install and FC/crash. And I am on the AOKP rom (the page said cm10, so I incorrectly said that was what i was on). I'll try bare bones, fresh AOKP install, no gapps, then side load maps and pandora only. If thats slow, I'll add killjoy. What does kill media server do exactly?
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
It stops scanning of media for new pics, music videos etc. A ROM is usually always scanning and can slow down

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

Definitely go bare bones and add killjoy. Only thing I noticed when doing so and activating dnsqmasq and entropy is that the GPU is always at max, but I don't know if that also happens without the mod
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
The kernel was what really held us back.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
Didn't a guy in Germany get sent a device in hopes of him doing hands on kernel work? What ever came of that?

The kernel is definitely to blame for our difficulties. It lacks the modules to do proper logging, which I was trying to get for some kind devs to assist with to no avail. If there was a more up to date kernel then we should, theoretically, be able to run KitKat and even Lollipop on the Streak7. And the 4.4+ /system would do much better within the limitations of our hardware. KitKat was designed with a mindset of also running much better on older devices.

I feel like I'm just venting now so I'll stop :(

My streak sits near my bed as a Pandora player, and lags so tremendously that I can't do anything else with it. At least it puts me to sleep at night :)
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Yes, that would be DerArtem. Communication with him was spotty until he dropped off for a long time, stated he had a job he was traveling with. Looking at this Github he hasn't done anything for any project since August.

The possibility of updating the kernel is completely there as other Tegra2 devices similiar to the DS7 have been updated but its beyond my capability or time to do so.
[Dell Streak 7] ElfinJNoty:
I wish there was a way in XDA to request help from recognized Dev....

Kind of tricky to find one who is active but not swamped with more current projects
