GB and HC will do no good on the device without a better kernel to reduce the battery drain. I mean it would help a little, but not much. I can dev a good kernel without a successful recovery dump and I can get CWM support.

The problem I am running into is the streak 7 does not use mtd like normal android devices, so I cant do a conventional dump of the boot, recovery, system, etc images. I will look at it tonight, but if any of you know or can find out an alternate way to dump an image without the conventional mtd method, post it or pm me.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
I'm fine with using fastboot. I could really careless about a recovery. It would be nice. I just want some kernel and oc magic.

[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
Let me put it this way. If I said I had a kernel for you. And you flashed it to your streak. Would you take that chance of bricking it with nothing to revert back to?

So then why would I take that chance?

There are steps. It will come soon, but you cant just drive a car without oil and gas in it first.

Trust me. I am as impatient as u are. But it all will come soon.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Well if it was a soft brick and I could get into fastboot I wouldn't mind. But yes I see your point.

We should ask the DJ how he got the system dumps....

I was looking in the mounts and saw a bunch of mounted blocks. Would that help in any way?

Lol. I just pmmed dj steve. It would help if we knew what the blocks were. I checked that out too yesterday, but dont know what the blocks are.
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
This is based on the mtd which doesn't work for ds7

I will be the developer porting 3.0 to your device... waiting on the system dump from a guy on the xoom thread... I'm one of the devs that ported it to the mytouch 4g and since this is a tablet it makes my job easier... No resizing yay me... anyway soon as you guys get a coustome recovery we can start the testing! you can follow me on twitter @M_Mastermind and be sure to click my thanks button!
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Thanks jay! Can't wait!
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
we are all looking forward to it!
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Hey guys.. I sent jaywan 50 bucks to start and I told him I would give him the other 50 when the job is done. If you guys want to donate any of that remaining 50 let me know.. if not I'll cover it but it'd be nice to have someone else kick in some. I know he will do an awesome job for us.
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
Dunno how but count me in! PM with instructions! Ha! This is getting good!
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Just click his donate button. But the agreement I have with him is half now and half when the job is done. So when the time comes I'll ask again so I know how much more (if any) has to come out of my pocket.

Android 3.0 on Streak 7

Wouldn't it be safe to wait for CWN? also dell has released the kernel for the streak 7 it was on another thread if anyone from this thread don't know about it opensource.dell DOT com/releases/streak7/3.22/

Also would it be posible to make a unlock utility to unlock the Dell Streak 7

I have seen a lot of people including myself by it out right off of amazon and not be able to get a unlock code from anyone.
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
There is no waiting. Koush doesnt have a streak, so he cant build a recovery. And he already stated that he has too much going on. So we (i) have to build a recovery.

[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I told Jaywan (the dev I got for us) we have a recovery.. He ported over HC to the mt4g. I said "We got a cwr are you ready to start making HC for us?"he said "ÿup"

So he is on it already :)

@graffixnyc any news on rom manager?

Nope, havent spoken to Koush yet..

I started reading this guide. I'm going to try to see if I can get us a CM 7 port at least for now.. Or even if it's Cm 6 it would be better than stock :)

I have already synced the GB branch and am pulling the Froyo branch as we speak
[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
focus more on GB than froyo... we wanna move forward than stay at same version :)

i think with some modding. i remember with my old nexus one, when we went from eclair to froyo we had to get the kernel modded due to some changes on how some things were addressed and some libraries being updated/removed.
[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
I got the system dump for the you-know-what device. I cant post it because the paticular company that created the device has stopped letting users post the system dump file. I have it and I can e-mail it to you, just email me at binarybishop@gmail.com.

If you are a dev then you know exactally which system dump I am talking about.

[Dell Streak 7] dharmabum:
This actually means we may still recieve an official update through Dell since our device is a tablet and meets Google's intended platform requirments for Honeycomb. Just no source for a handrolled solution... Let's hope their recent update is an indication of the pace they intend to support the Streak 7 under T-Mobile.
[Dell Streak 7] Geramy:
Dell Streak 7

Hey I got a idea lets make froyo support dual core since we have everything we need why don't we just do that and make a update its simple enough right?

Just need help compiling the dell streak 7 kernel
[Dell Streak 7] MajikUF:
I think it's safe to say that the only way you will ever get HC on a S7 is through this forum. I don't think the resolution will support the minimum by google specs and I'm not quite sure the CPU can handle it. That being said, there are a lot of great guys here that can make it work, but some apps might not look that great.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
Not sure the cpu can handle it??? Ummn it has a tegra 2 chip.. same cpu as the xoom which runs hc.. same cpu that's coming in future hc tablets.. the cpu will handle it.. and dell claims it is honeycomb updatable and has plans on a hc update. It will for sure be after they release their 10 inch hc tablet. They wouldn't dare update the streak before then because then it would cut into the sales of the 10 inch. But the streak is more than capable of running hc but we wont get an official update until at least end of summer I think.
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
>.>

Here is how I read that article.

"Google Takes a page from Steve Jobs and restricts its OS"

I do know some of the reasons tho. Developers and Companies (Like Netflix) are refusing to bring big name items to Google because "Its not secure platform" (Aka they dont like us at XDA with our custom ways...) So google is doing their part to secure the licenses with these companies by "offering" a secure OS.

However as we all know here on XDA... it will be hacked and custom sourced roms sooner or later. =p

i am going to be honest i am will to come out the pocket at the most 50 to get this done
[Dell Streak 7] JamesDax:
We will most likely see Icecream on the Streak 7 since it will have Honeycomb like features for smartphones. The resolution on the Streak 7 is just too low for Honeycomb.
[Dell Streak 7] KenpoAP:
Did you notice hc in many small screen size smartphones? Just asking! And the timeframe from dell clearly states that the ds7 is hc upgrade capable.

From my CM7 UrBan Glacier
[Dell Streak 7] thatruth132:
I had a G2 about 2 weeks ago and had hc running of course a beta
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I think you are wrong.. dell does plan on updating the streak 7 to hc. Its just a matter of when
[Dell Streak 7] Geramy:
I will pay someone 100USD to help me compile the S7 kernel I will edit it and create support for dual core I will combine the cores into one everything will go through my manager and when the first cpu core is over ran i will turn ont he second core and use it then if the second core is not needed turn it off so it wont waste battery i also want to amke some performance and battery life changes I have 400USD if someone wants to team up it will be like a paid job with a extra worker = me (: lets get working ya?
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
HC comming soon

Just got off the phone with Dell Tech for a replacement, and I asked about Honeycomb, I told him I was misled, having a unit that is dual core and no HC, he laughed and said, hang in there.... Quote he said "its comming, thats all I can say"

So we will see.
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Thing is... will Honeycomb be what iOS is in attempt.. Non open source so other developers have a secure platform to launch, which case will it have control checks to verify that its not a custom rom somehow.

Lets just hope things work out. =)

Honeycomb 3.0 on Dell Streak 7

Just browsing the Streak 7 page on Dell- states the "Honeycomb upgradable... OTA to be announced." Has it always been this explicit on the upgrade path? Or is this new?

I can donate from 20 - 50 if someone can achieve calls from DS7.. phone calling via SIM not DATA.. as i am planning to use it in India... any of You think this is Doable?
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Well from some of the devs I talked to, Until we get 3.0 on our devices, they wont be able to utilize the hardware acceleration which we really could use.
[Dell Streak 7] sims0268:
That is new. A great marketing strategy, although I do think it will be out until they release the 10" model. Unless they have some set backs.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
That's exactly what I think. They wouldnt update the 7 with HC until the 10 is out for a little bit because then it might eat into the sales of the 10
[Dell Streak 7] lou0611:
Google got a lot of flak for withholding the Android 3.0 source code, and plenty more when Businessweek sources claimed the company had set aside its open stance to dictate from a throne, but today the man who would allegedly sit atop the royal seat says it isn't so. Andy Rubin, the man in charge of Android, says that "there are no lock-downs or restrictions against customizing UIs" nor "any efforts to standardize the platform on any single chipset architecture" as have often been rumored before, and that when Honeycomb is finally ready for phones, Google will indeed release its source code. Overall, he claims that Android's position when it comes to open source hasn't changed since day one -- which is nice for those who would like to believe that Google's still sticking to its motto -- but that's not likely to appease companies cut out of the loop simply because they weren't part of the early adopter club. If Google's methods will reduce fragmentation, though, who are we to judge?
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Sounds like they will do a secure launch 1st then allow those devs to get their apps on, then open source it.

I can confirm that I saw it on the Dell web site as well. One of the selling points of the S7, for me. And I agree that we'll probably have to wait for the S10 release for the code. I can be patient for HC. If Dell doesn't provide an OTA update, I am sure someone here will get the S7 some honey...

[Dell Streak 7] ronclone:
Guys i'm starting to get a little nervous about Honeycomb on the streak 7. Seriously... think about it.

1) it was never official we were getting HC, they just said it was upgradeable.

2) that post a few days ago by nvidia kind of confirms there will be no harmony (S7 platform) drivers.

3) It's completely in the hands of dell to pay Nvidia to develop drivers, codecs etc... and it seems streak 7 sales have been dissaponting... i dont see no love for the DS7.

4) All of this HC ports (galaxy tab, nook, notion ink, etc...) are running soo slow exactly because of lack of drivers, so even when we get the sdk, without drivers we are screwed!!!

Please somebody tell me i'm wrong, i know nothing about this things, and we will be getting HC. I actually bought this instead of a 1st gen 3g 16gb Ipad thinking of HoneyComb...

BTW: "While Google hasn't released Honeycomb openly, they have certain requirements for those who are bringing it to market, two of which are a minimum screen resolution of 1280x800 and also having a dual front and back camera."

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tucka20:
Hi, im struggling to solve an issue im having with my desire. After installing ginger-villain, my phone got really hot and rebooted. I eventually had to pull the battery out to boot the phone and it worked fine for acouple of hours before it did it again. This time, I couldnt get past the tmobile red circle boot screen.

I can get into bootloader, but cant boot the phone or get into recovery. Just get the red circle. So far I have tried and failed:

fastboot flashing a recovery.img

Installing official RUU using fastboot...came up successful but still red circle

Tried installing RUU using PB99IMG which also came successful but produced same problem

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I don't like sense. Yust my opinion, but you were asking for it right ;)

I do like some features of it, but mostly i like my ROM clean (like CM)
[HTC Desire S] Terepin:
No, I was asking if you think it's Sense 3.0 on that screenshot.
[HTC Desire S] siroj:
Ok, then is was misinterpreting :(

If it indeed is Sense 3.0, i have no idea. But is looks like an original. If i am right, the Sense interface is protected by HTC.
[HTC Desire S] PulpzillA:
looks like the same sense that is used on the Desire Z/HD

With my understanding should be sense 2.0?
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
That's photoshop'd - why would HTC put new Sense on a Wildfire before any of the high end devices??
[HTC Desire S] siroj:
It could be a custom creation, but i doubt it that HTC would like that.
[HTC Desire S] Terepin:
That's not Wildfire, but Wildfire 2.

As for Sense, there are distinguishing features on launcher:

1. 1.0 -> Up arrow | Phone | Plus button

2. 2.0 -> Up arrow | Phone | Customization button

3. ?3.0 -> List button | Phone | Customization button

Of course, it could be updated Sense 2, maybe 2.5.
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
Still doesn't mean it's not super imposed onto it does it?

Promo videos always show things off that aren't real
[HTC Desire S] Lothaen:
looks like it could be more of a hack than an update (or photoshop as suggested)
[HTC Desire S] Terepin:
No, not fake:

[HTC Desire S] Nitin985:
Saw this pic as well might just be a lower end version on new sense or 3.0
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
So you believe everything you see on TV and in the movies??

As I said, likely to be super-imposed - until I see a functioning handset and video proof I'll assume it's not real
[HTC Desire S] godutch:
Also without optical trackpad like the new desire 2, too bad i don't use it often but sometimes i really need it.
[HTC Desire S] Tillus:
why would HTC do that? That >>Video<< was posted under their official account on youtube... :confused:

[HTC Desire S] Terepin:
It's pretty clear it ain't fake. So the only question remains: Is it upgraded Sense 2 or brand new Sense 3? We will find out after week or so.
[HTC Desire S] fregor:
Sense "2.0" most likely.
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
Seriously, what makes this real?? Heard of concept designs??

As I said, until I see a fully working handset being demo'd in a video I will consider this a marketing venture and nothing more. You guys keep believing it's real...it's like me editing a home screen and taking a picture and going "yeah look at my new Sense 20.1"
[HTC Desire S] jaaystott:
Could be, however after scouring the internet for articles about weather the origional HTC Desire was going to get the HTC Desire HD Sense update, I couldn't find a thing. So I did what no one dares do, and sent an E-Mail to HTC. Surprisingly, this is the reply I got.

Dear Michael James Stott,

Thank you for contacting HTC, regarding the HTC Sense.

Sense at the moment is only incorporated into our newer devices as we aim to show progression. However when the updates come in from Google for us to configure. There will often be some suprises in the update but the software engineers wont even tell us as its all network depended.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 11GBCW07ENA001487.

Sincerely,

Mohammed

HTC

Now although 'Mohammed' hasn't confirmed anything there, surely it looks promising and its better than a template reply of 'we are not allowed to comment' or whatever they put?
[HTC Desire S] fregor:
Eh..all he says in short is: "Sense is only on our newer devices and if Google releases an update, there are often surprises, but the engineers won't inform us support people anything about it"

Doesn't say anything about anything.
[HTC Desire S] fregor:
The thing is, you're no smartphone producer that makes commercials for your upcoming products ;-)
[HTC Desire S] Lothaen:
Last time I asked about updates for, SMS bugfix, HTCSense.com, Gingerbread for the Desire I got a response that said:

So basically however many times we ask they'll always say 'no comment' basically...
[HTC Desire S] EddyOS:
True, but all that ad has shown is one screen on a currently unnamed device - who says it'll even go into production?

Like I said, until I can see a video with this working I will continue to believe it's a super imposed image that shows something but might not necessarily BE something

Time will tell. And if it IS something then fair enough but I can't get excited by something that (to me) looks obviously edited
[HTC Desire S] jaaystott:
Suppose you could say that about the response I got eh :/
[HTC Desire S] Alex-V:
Think it is a new sense...why not new device...but think this all (also the dhd version) will never come official from htc to desire...to old ;):p Sorry for...i would love it..if it come...

with kind regards..Alex
[HTC Desire S] jaaystott:
I know what your saying mate, but HTC are still supporting the Google Nexus in the respect that it's going to be updated to 2.3 within the next couple of days. As for the Desire HD and Z, they should be expecting a 2.3 upgrade in Q1 of 2011, it would make sense for HTC to update the origional Desire, as it is the most popular SmartPhone in the UK right? Also, it's not like its not powerfull enough, its literally got the same spec's as a Desire Z, and the HD and Z, alike the Desire, all have 1GHz Processors. Of course the HD is the more powerful device out of the three, but it would be a shame for them to drop the entire line.
[HTC Desire S] Alex-V:
I hope you are right....as i love the new sense... ;) :) my bad thinking of the update was only because in the past there was many rumors for update to new sense..you know...

With kind regards...Alex
