Dell streak with gingerbread

Hi i am new here, been a silent reader for quite sometimes. Just bought my dell streak and update the os to froyo 2.2 unofficially but not rooted.

Just want to get some opinion form all the genius here... Do you think dell will upgrade the dell streak to gingerbread in a near future?

I am so intrigue by the effort of some of the developer here who spent so much time to make our dell streak better and better... I will not hesitate to try DJ Steve gingerbread ROM if it is available in a near future.

Hello all,

I'm looking for a way to simply open a Windows shared folder (SMB) and open an AVI file for playback on my Android phone (HTC EVO). I've read a bunch of tutorials on the web, and almost all of them involve setting up streaming software with something like VLC. I'm not going to be streaming over the Internet, just WiFi.

On two Windows PCs, I just normally go to Run -> \\MYSERVER\D$\Videos\ and then double click an AVI and bam... it's playing back. Can't I have the same ease on my phone? I don't want to do any transcoding or anything. Logic tells me that if two Windows PCs can do this, then a PC and Android phone can too.

I already have ASTRO file manager with the SMB plug-in. If I should go about this a different way, let me know.

Thanks!

+1 use cifs manager and cifs.ko module that support for your device

Where can I get cifs.ko that works with kernel 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] klopinator:
This isn't exactly the most SIMPLE solution, but Subsonic is absolutely phenomenal, and you can stream pretty much anything, with any settings you want, from your PC to your Android...anywhere.

ooops, i just came to pc and saw this thread now after i made a one asking the same thing... my bad...

i tried cifsmanager, it does exactly what i wanted, but it's really slow ... a normal xvid video pauses every other second, same video reads fine from sdcard...

and i can't get rockplayer to read those folders either cause it's reading only from sdcard mount ... can we go back a directory level in rockplayer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OzzieB:
You can try Gmote, but if you have a samsung phone, get AllShare
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] deathsled:
It's not that cifsmanager is slow, it just that some videos are too large to be 'streamed' to your phone without any sort of further compression. You're really just maxing out the bandwidth of the wifi I believe. I've been using cifsmanager for months and this my experience and opinion.

And if you can't get rockplayer to work with cifsmanager you're doing something wrong lol. I mount my shafe in cifsmanager, then click on the share again to launch Astro to take me directly to the shared folder. Then I just pick my file and tell it what video player to launch (stock, rock player, or vplayer). You can also change the path of cifsmanager to mount the share on your SD card.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] muzicman82:
Still looking for cifs.ko for kernel 2.6.32.15-g59b9e50? Can someone help? HTC EVO 4G.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Elusivo:
ah deathsled lol i mounted it to a folder in sdcard now, hadn't really notice we could do it.

dunno about the videos being too large, cause the same videos, using mplayer in my wii, i can play them flawlessly without buffering, just by opening them from my computer folders through mplayer's smb connection, which i believe is same thing that cifsmanager does, and the wii only has wifi 54mbps too... so something is definitely really slow in either android or my dell streak
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Psyki:
Astro with the SMB plugin works just fine for me...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] muzicman82:
ASTRO with SMB didn't work when launching other video players. I could browse and do file operations, but since it didn't mount the folder, other programs couldn't access the files.

However, I ended up moving to KiNgxKernel, which has CIFS build-in. I couldn't find a good, easy guide to compile my own CIFS.KO, and couldn't find one already made for my previous kernel version.

Anyone have a working link to the update.zip? I have the full SBF, but would like the update.zip file as well.

I tried a bunch of times to get the TBH app to work and with both wifi (literally right next to the router with full bars) and 3g... the download just stalls after about 10%.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Droid X General] byproxy:

[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
If you want to get to 2.3.32 you can just flash the SBF for it. Just make sure that after you bootloop you boot into stock recovery and do a Factory reset.
[Droid X General] byproxy:
unfortunately sbf doesn't update the bootloader. only the update does.
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
Oh my apologies I just recently got a replacement DX and didn't notice it was already on 30.04.
[Droid X General] byproxy:
no worries. what's most frustrating is that TBH charges 2 bucks for the app and it doesn't work (for me... obviously it works for many others). not sure why it doesn't work for me... but it's quite annoying. leaves me to beg for the files from others. LOL

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepinmyworld:
Issue corrected: how: I opened Odin on my desktop, unplugged my USB cord from my pc, removed my battery from my phone along with my sim card and sd card: I then placed the USB into my phone (not pc yet), pressed and held the up down toggled (both ends pressed in), placed the other end of the usb into my pc, placed my battery into my phone and all this is done while still holding the up down volume toggle.. (do not press the power button at all) I was placed into download mode!!!!! I selected the pit file (s1_odin_20100512.pit), checked PDA box, clicked on PDA and added T959UVJFD.tar, pressed start, allowed odin to say pass and vibrant started to reboot: My phone cut off again after i removed the USB because the battery was really dead but i placed it on the real charger and the charging indicator actually showed :) I'm not booted on stock 2.1 for now.

Thanks to those who truly attempted to help me!

I also understand that there may not be a way to actually brick this device lol

PROBLEM BEFORE FIX

I'm really not a noob but I did something unusual. Coming from eugene 2.2 rom I tried to use Odin to flash back to j16 but it said E DEVBLOCK AND somehing else. However I was following some tatorial that said flash the pit file only and select repartition and allow it to work and say pass then pull the battery. Well I did that and now my phone won't come on period. Not at all like the battery is dead and won't recharge. I tried hooking it up to the pc but nothing. Not even a charge indicator. Somehow today I got a black screen to show with red letters... But it won't come back on period. Is this a true brick? Please help me out.

If plugging it into a charger doesn't do anything and your PC doesn't recognize your phone you might have created the first true Galaxy-S phone brick.

You do have Samsung drivers on your PC right!? And you could also try making a Jig I guess, but if your phone isn't even recognized by your PC your basically screwed. Don't pay attention to 2nd poster, he's just trying to act cool.

I was trying to use set cpu,im completely stock but rooted, but every time i use it the phone itself just reboots or doesn tturn on until a battery pull, is it the app? the phone? the kernel?

i came from a vzw droid 1 and 2 and i knew that it had to do with the kernels but i was wondering if people know about this or know a fix

thank you

Set CPU can only be set on conservative for the vibrant.

also when setting profiles, min 200 any lower = sleep of death.

SPH-D700-DK28-8g-rel.tar.md5 OFFICIAL

Here is a .tar file for Odin that will allow you to upgrade your phone to Android 2.2.1 Froyo! It will break your root, but you can always one click root after.

FULL GUIDE AND INSTRUCTIONS HERE

Essentials:

1. Odin in PDA slot

2. Flash away!

[Epic 4G Android Development] deciple:
You don't need the pit with the tar file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
This is a full Odin .tar -- no pit file needed. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Question: I had DK17 with Quantum ROM 1.5...I just flashed the .tar in Odin. No PIT file. I also unchecked F.Reset Time (I think thats what it said). I flashed correctly, right? I have 100% stock DK28 now, correct.

Also, is this the official Froyo build?

Everything seems to be working correctly. Rotation is still a tad slow though. Lock screen lag is 100% gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] panthar:
Dupe - this has been posted twice already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
That's because the mods took it down, then put it back up again.

I'm less annoyed now I guess since people have already posted rooted versions etc. As long as the stuff gets to the users, in the end I'm happy. I'm giving up on getting a response from the mod, I think - this here is turning into a good thread so let's go with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennethpenn:
Sorry guys, didn't seen any other thread with the .tar (because it was deleted I guess). Got mine from a source and posted it. Didn't know anyone else posted it. This one is a little different anyway, because it doesn't require the victory .pit to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:

Worked great for me, it only took about 4 minutes to flash it. One peculiar thing is that when the phone boots now I see something flashing up on the left side of the notification bar (goes by really fast) and then a vibrate before it finishes boot a few seconds later.
