Dell PC Suite Sync Tool [DOWNLOAD LINK] - Streak 5 Android Development

Hey Everyone, this is my first Thread and first post . I'm disappointed that no one has actually helped upload the DELL PC SUITE, I tried getting it so many times, and was only able to get it after using Opera, anyway here is the link I uploaded:
hotfile_.com/dl/82048490/70efa28/Updated_Dell_Streak_PC_Sync_Tool_(clair_2.1).zip.html (Not letting me upload external links so just copy the link and remove the _ after 'hotfile')
To members with high ranks and posts, please comment and confirm (after you try it first) that it works and that it's not infected or anything like that, so Other members can trust this link...

or in here:
ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/Handheld/

Your link will only work if you use Opera Browser ...

Just navigate to Dells support site using any browser you choose and download it from there. Not rocket science.

Thanks zarbo...
I'm trying with Filezilla ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/Handheld/ so far downloaded 5% and counting. Let you know if it is successful.
Yehh
edit... 65%

I'm using the FTP link in FireFox and Konqueror and it works in both

that's the one for 2.1... they have one on the support page that says it was uploaded on 10/28 and has a different version # but the ftp link is dead. guess it will be up after 2.2 rolls out.

Success thanks to Zarbo, and many others
Thanks for this, downloaded completed and after plugging the Streak in, its syncing
Its also syncing Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes. I thought Android couldnt sync Tasks and Notes. I'm grinning now hee.
Thanks again for all your help.
Hope the update to 2.2 will not kill the sync... strange why Dell would do such a thing

You're welcome everybody.
BTW if you go to the update option on the dell streak you'll notice that the page has changed, yeah they have updated their servers, probably preparing for big bandwidth suggesting the official 2.2 update for the streak will be out soon

Mine is also an O2 but using in Singapore...
I saw the new page this morning, but its gone now.

I'm using LXdroid 0.2 is there one we can use with custom rom's? I got Dell PC Suite but nothing shows up, tried downloading the eclair version and it said only dell devices were supported then stopped installation, my rom version is 2.3.7

There is no version for custom ROMs and never will be. Not to mention the software is totally unnecessary, even if you were still on a stock ROM.

He's done so little research and reading he has no idea the difference between Eclaire Android 1.6 and the LX DROID. 2 ROM... WHERE do you begin trying to help someone that hasn't even done that much?

I know the difference dude, far from a newb here man. So excuse me if me I jump in head first and learn better that way than from reading a multitude of documents!
Or did ya just ever so kindly ignore my post saying I tried it cause it was the closest BUILD MATCH? Gotta love that SELECTIVE READING!

Well, I have the Froyo version of the suite. I think I still have it for download from mediafire, but you'd have to hack the software to bypass the official version check. Even then it may not work. But for a thought exercise it sounds intriguing.

Going to chime in: cdzo, you really should should phrase your responses better.
Even if he does in fact not really know what he's doing, that tone isnt what xda is about (my opinion, i am not a mod as far as the forums are concerned)
But he is correct: build-wise eclair and froyo are entirely different beasts with regards to the sync software. They're completely incompatable.
Only the 3xx (froyo) roms support sync as far as recent roms are concerned. GB roms are not supported, and only stock 3xx roms are supported. Dont expect it to work on any custom froyo based roms either.
Desktop syncing isnt standardized at all for android, so dell wrote their own desktop syncer and modified the stock apps to be able to sync.
You must use the matching rom and syncer, dell made versions available for 1.6/2.1/2.2 and that's it.
To repeat: as dell made changes to the rom to support it, it will never work outside a stock rom that hasnt had it's stock apps modified.
You can (possibly) hack it back into a newer rom, but it's a lot of work for a no-longer supported tool

even if it is supported.. i just seem cant find when to use it... mostly because of the android application used had that covered pretty much every aspect ... and usually in a better way...

All I can say is that there was a version designed for 3xx, and that's about it.
I've never tried it, I do have copies of it if dell doesnt have a copy anymore.

Nice!
Problems:
- seems that graphics driver is in software mode
- headphones not works... plugin not detected, but unplug is ok - music stops and etc, as it should be in normal.
- CM settings? where are they ? no menu item in settings menu. no icon in applications...
- Random hangs of touch-driver... only device restart helps.
Believe most of problems comes from StreakDroid 2.0, but overall thats great! Thanks!
Give the guy a break, at least it's one more person trying to develop for the Streak 5 !
Hey dude, give the guy a break... he did say he has a lot of work ahead of him. What have your released for the Streak lately?
Man,
What happent with the version you were developing couple days ago? The one based on steve's 1.9? I was asking for another mirror, I was pretty happy with ur first version, was looking to download the second one. Did you retired that project for good? I cannot find that thread in here.
Maybe you can point me to download your rom, second version.
Thanks in advance
Cheers mate,

and, yes, if someone finds it so ****ty, its not really so compulsory to download, nor is it to post, if you are really not positively contributing to the matter!
We like it, appreciate it, and are willing to help in development!
Period.
Good Work OP.
Do share some notes on, how you do stuff, may be we can develop faster - together!
That's surely if you wish to!

no mattter how much noobies put their glowing references on this, this is not CM7.
it is a couple of very minor changes to sd 2.0.. adding some apks to system/app.
along the same lines as changing a bit of framework in a kitchen, in fact I'd say it took less effort than that.
Also RootExplorer is a paid app, including warez into Roms is not accepted

Yes this is not CM but I was tryin to get some extra features on already awsome streakdroid like DSP manager importing libs into system from CM got DSPManager working on streakdroid with clearly differentiable soundfx and I was able to check that through by bluetooth stereo headset & phone speaker only because wired stereo headset still not produce any sound(updated libs version I hav not yet uploaded because not many people will find it useful untill sound output issue is fixed) in fact I need some help from experienced developers like you on the sound output issue through regular stereo headset , I am also looking for browser from CM7 & root explorer will be removed from next version ,Thanks if you can help out....

You don't have a clue. Have you even tried the kitchen on the streak? There is zero customization that works with the streak. Once the kitchen is used it has to be dissected, graphics altered, odexs fixed for text color and other tweaks. You don't have a clue.
FARDS said it best.
I can take 5 minutes and take bits and pieces of cm7 apks, some from galaxy s 2 and some htc files and simply drag and drop them into djsteves roms... or I could even do it to a stock rom... does that make it a new rom?
What he accomplished here could easily be done by making a flashable clockworkmod zip.
I would love to see more cooks for the streak but would love to see a real effort.
If modifying frameworks and odex files are so easy to do with the kitchen, why is there only three people including myself that have released it? Jhotman...baldylocks....

Vignette error in TW 007

I'm running Wolfbreak's TW 007 with custom kernel 3.52 and BB52. I installed from scratch (stock 2.1, then up to TW 007). It's brilliant in every aspect except I can't get Vignette to work. It takes the picture and gives me the preview screen but from there if I try to save, it gives me a VIE error saying it can't create the file. I've tried all options for save location and I've tried all resolutions also, still no love. Has anyone else come across this? Have tried the 2 latest versions of Vignette, and the demo.
same thing for me :/ any1 know anything on this issue?
Also battling with this. Mailed vignette support and they sent a new test version but it also has problems. From what I can see it falls over after it has saved the file. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the gallery as that doesn't get refreshed. If you force a media scan it then picks up the picture in the gallery.
I was also having problems with the LED flash. I played around with various versions of the 3D gallery and suddenly the flash has started working. This is also with the custom kernel. There have been quite a few posts about this in the dev thread, but I need to get to 10 posts before I can add my findings there.
I have a few different versions of the 3D gallery at home which I will try tonight to see if any of them help further.
It seems older versions work better, especially in illimanting flash issues.
Try and find an old backup of the demo version...
i tried the past 3 versions of the full version, and all had same error in processing photo.. i found out it does save them in the folder, just throws an error when processing.
I'll check in the gallery after trying some more photos. Just a prick that we get this error. I'd like to post in Wolf's thread but also don't have my 10 posts up.
thanks for your work on this andypen, I haven't tried any different versions of the gallery, and TBH I haven't bothered trying the LED as yet.
[edit] a couple of questions, how do you force gallery to refresh? just kill the app then start it again?, also, I must be stupid but I can't find the LED control in Vignette [/edit]
The problem has gone in 2011.06.23 version from market.
Sent from my X10a powered by Wolf's TW-007.1 / bb:65 / zKernel / BRA
Also I have the same problem. What could be the solution? Some speak of the core of the 3D Warehouse, other processing before storing the photograph, and so on.
What if, I can not make Vignette function properly.
I tried 4 different versions of this application, but still has the same processing error when trying to save the picture, so I concluded that this ROM is not correct for the operation of Vignette.
Please someone who has a possible solution?
Greetings!

If you don't have the problem, what's your settings?
this is infuriating...
I have found a possible solution to the vignette saving error. Instructions here
Have any of you contacted the developers of the vignette app and asked if they can rerelease an older version that works.
I have version 2010 - 11 - 04.3 which has worked on all versions of wolfs rom with all custom kernels.
I have a backup up of this but can not share it as it is paid app.
But I am sure the devs of the app will help once they know about the issue
Maybe it's an issue of the 3.52 kernel? i'm on wolf's tw071 rom, with zkernel and the latest version of vignette, fully functional.
No its nothing to do with the kernel....
I have had vignette working on all the 3.4 and 3.5 kernels with wolfs rom.
And now with z's new kernel and BB67.
Just email the devs of the app and ask them for an old version!!!

EDIT
PS...I have just sent the following email to the devs of vignette
Hello,
I was wondering if you could help a lot of people out.
I am writing this on behalf of a lot of users of the SE x10i who use custom roms from the XDA developers site.
As you may be aware the camera on these roms does not support flash light or zoom, the only way to implement that was through vignette and developers of these custom roms often pointed users to your app in order to get zoom and flash on the camera.
However, with the latest versions of vignette the flash and zoom also seem to be not working but those of us with older versions still have full functionality.
Would it be possible for you to re-release older versions in the market for those people who use custom roms on x10.
I have the november 2010 version and it works fine.
This would be a great help to everyone at XDA who uses the x10i.
I look forward to your reply.
PS, i have copied this email to the xda website.
Regards

Greg I‘ve been too busy of late to follow this. Thanks for taking the initiative here!

Here is the response from the developers of the app to my email.
Hi Greg
Some older releases of Vignette can be found on our website at
http://sites.google.com/site/neilandtheresa/Vignette/releases
If you can provide us with any information that would allow Vignette
to detect whether it was running on an X10 with such a ROM (e.g. the
contents of android.os.Build.VERSION.INCREMENTAL and
android.os.Build.DISPLAY), we might be able to solve the problem for
you.
Thanks,
Neil.
Hope this helps you all out.

I'm on bb67 kernel 2.6.29 and it works fine. I did have to change the save location though.

[Q] Android Market across versions

Hello,
My friend is going to T in the Park (a music festival) I found an app on the market for the event, line up, schedules and the like by searching "titp".
I got him to search for it on his HTC Hero (which is still running 2.1 as he is a wuss and refuses to root it) and the app is not there. I tried changing security settings and allowing unknown sources but still nada.
Is it not showing up because it is incompatible with his Android version or am I forgetting something?

Yes, it's incompatible either with his Android version or his screen resolution.

Formbee,
I developed the app using Corona SDK and it'll therefore only work on ARMv7 phones running 2.2 or higher. An annoying limitation that I wasn't aware of until I was halfway through developing it. Android Market only displays apps that meet the conditions in the manifest for the app...so in this case 2.2 and up, and ARMv7.

[Q] Triple boot idea (WebOS,CM7.1,CM9)

Hear me out on this one before you shoot me down.
Alpha2.1 has become pretty much a daily for me, with the only real nuisance being the wifi issues. My understanding from other posts is that Alpha3 will be released before moving on to ICS for CM9. If wifi is fixed in Alpha3, it would become a definite daily for me. That said, when CM9 eventually comes out I would like to check it out and provide feedback, but would prefer not to dump a familiar and possible more stable CM7.1 until CM9 becomes as stable.
My question is this. Would it be worth the trouble to setup moboot to triple boot WebOS, CM7.1 and CM9? I doubt the CM team would want to bother with it, but I haven't dealt with moboot until this project. Would it be pretty much the same as editing Grub on a PC to triple boot?
Thank you for your considered opinion.
This is what they posted with the release of CM9 for TouchPad....
CAN I MAKE A TRI-BOOT SYSTEM? (WebOS, CM7, and CM9)
Yes, but don’t bother. There may be instructions forthcoming on this, but it’s a bit advanced - just pick one.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Guess they are not ready to share that... I think I'm gonna have to ask them about it over at RootzWiki...
I myself am looking for a triple boot solution but for a different reason...
Since Android does not allow for separate profiles on one device to allow multiple users to keep separate system settings thru out it like PC's on Windows user accounts... And it doesn't seem like they are making a iUser version for Android...
I only see a solution of 2 separate installs of CM7 or CM9 (whichever two)... And then each person can choose their installation at boot-up.... Eventually they will need to add password protection to them... But that is longs way ahead...
If u look at the vidz from ReverendKJR on YouTube.... U can see that all the CynagenMod variants seem to end up being listed as the same thing regarding of flavor... But the EverVolv ICS install is listed as a different installation... This is just the listing part.... It doesn't mean they work correctly and don't clash with each other.... But we do know that maybe 3 Roms just fit on the TP...
Hopefully they will release how to do this correctly soon....

Triboot instructions may still be coming from what I've read. I hope they do, but if CM9 is stable I may not care as much. As for password protection, to what exactly are you referring? Android already has pins, patternlocks etc.
Well I decided to go ahead with CM9 Alpha0 last night (backed up my CM7 install first). So far super stable, don't really need what's broken (camera, microphone etc). One big reason was that Logmein Ignition hasn't worked since its 14 November update (older version works, but I don't trust the apk download source). Now it works, plus I can now load honeycomb apps! If this keeps up I'll probably never bother with triboot.

Cool... Did u do the multiple performance tweaks???... How stable is u'r Wifi???
Right... Screen Password is there.... And would work at startup... But then u would need to turn it off and to turn it back on... I am looking at a two user system for my TP.... With both parties having separate Android installs... I would prefer a moboot or another booter way to make sure the 2nd user only has access to their install of Android & wouldn't be able to mess up WebOs or my install of Android... Seems iUser would work great.. but no Android version seems to be available... Let me know if u find the Tri-Boot info...

Seems iUser would work great.. but no Android version seems to be available... Let me know if u find the Tri-Boot info...

Yes, did the two fixes I saw listed. Also ran Alpha 0.5 tonight. Wifi if anything is better than CM7 Alpha3.5. Installed 3 days ago, only had to cycle wifi off/on once. Have joined 5 different SSIDs in that time, two of those on a 7 access point network on different channels (1, 6 and 11). One was open while rest were WPA2 secured.
As for the multi-user setup, if Android isn't an absolute requirement, perhaps an Ubuntu Linux install would do? I don't know how far along the project is, but if it works you should be able to create as many non-root users as you like. Just an idea.
EDIT: Looking in the "Other Touchpad Development" Forum, the Linux projects appear much more "alpha" than CM9 is now. However Arch Linux looks promising.

Mozilla Aurora, flash issues!

Hey people of xda
so i just got my GNexus a few days ago and im totally back into the android scene already! Gots me some AOSP rom on it and root
Anyways, i tried out firefox / fennec now that my phone should be quick enough to use it properly (unlike my G1 ) and i realized it doesnt support flash. So according to mozilla wiki, it is only supported on 2.3, and on a bugreport i read that it isnt planned to be supported on 3.0 / 4.0, due to adobe dropping support on flash.
Anyways, i am wondering how hard it would be to get ICS supported for flash on firefox? I tried putting the flashlib in the plugin folder of aurora, etc. didnt work of course, since it's a problem in the sourcecode.
I realised that on youtube, flash seems to work! It doesnt actually display a flash missing warning or anything like that, on all the other sites.
So i was wondering if that is actually a flash implementation or a custom youtube player by mozilla right there?
Can anyone investigate? I don't have an IDE with all the fennec stuff set up, so i can't check on that. Would be awesome to get aurora with flash though, since it renders stuff really fast and it has a nice and smooth interface

I think the YouTube player is html5... I May be wrong

you are indeed right i totally forgot about this, but im pretty sure since the interface looks a tiny bit different from the flash version.
Anyways, i headed to a mozilla "plugincheck" site, which gave me the message:
"for safety reasons, firefox has disabled your obsolete version of flash. Please update to a newer version" (translated it directly from the german version though, lolz. but you get the idea)
I guess we have a hint right here! How do we get aurora to NOT disable flash?
(I still dont have the sourcecode set up anywhere, im a lazy person.)
