This thread is for the development progress of the Dell Streak 7 running Jelly Bean Android 4.1.2 using Cyanogenmod 10 as the basis.
It is now being moved up a version, from Alpha 0.4 to Alpha 1.0.

This reverts us to the ICS-B4 partition layout. The reason being is that Dell decieded to be different and it causes problems with the sdcard fuse daemon. But switching to this layout, it allowed the sdcard daemon to work correctly and give us more space.

Developers:
giveen - CM10 Port / Kernel Updates
geramy - Sound and other fixes.
DJ_Steve - Sound idea that worked.



Thanks:
Cyanogenmod team - for making the port actually pretty easy
geramy - for all your incredible help getting sound going.
snargledorf - basically rebuilding CM9 for the Dell Streak 7 , to which I was able to base my work off of.
DJ_Steve - for teaching me and all the tips and putting up with my annoying questions
My wife - giving me grace and putting up with the hours I put into this
(oops forgot a couple people)
_motley - for clues onto framebuffers and overlays failing, without him it would have never booted
Borkata - for help with wifi and other little hints.

Alpha v1.1E
Working:
Boots!!!
Touchscreen
Hapatic feedback
External SD
Internal Storage (shows full space, can install apps to it, but you cannot store anything on it)
Power button
Brightness
Root
Capacitive buttons
Bluetooth (audio as well, so far the only way audio works)
WIFI
MTP to external SD
Sound
  • Headphones - are a bit loud and volume control doesn't always work
  • Speakers - is a bit quiet and sometimes takes a moment for it to adjust volumes

Not Working:
camera (what do you think I am...a miracle worker?)
GPS (turns on but doesn't lock on)
Sensors

What else doesn't work...I"m still checking it all out.

Capacitive buttons are fixed. Got a build made with wifi and sound stuff but haven't had a chance to test it.

For the fun of it....who wants to see Jelly Bean on their device, Wifi and and sound are not working, but its fun to see

Copy these two files into your ICS-B4 NVFlash files (BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM.IMG AND BOOT.IMG TO SOMEWHERE ELSE ON YOUR DESKTOP)
http://173.242.117.1...cm10/boot18.img
http://173.242.117.1...10/system18.img

Rename them to boot.img and system.img, and then run the batch file to flash "ICS-B4"

I was hoping to have wifi and sound fixed to night, but my last build didn't load things right. had to go back, fix, and cooking now.

I was able to sideload apps, so I know that works.

SD card fix should be going into place now, after compile. Still working on Wifi.
Sound patch worked I see audio stuff loading, but mediaserver is still crashing.

Here is why wifi isn't turning on

D/WifiService(  294): setWifiEnabled: true pid=689, uid=1000
E/PrintK  (  294): <3>dhd: version magic '2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.36.3-g02514c7-dirty SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
E/WifiStateMachine(  294): Failed to load driver!
E/WifiStateMachine(  294): DriverFailedState

Looks like dhd.ko isn't the correct one. It needs to match the kernel.
