Hey I have tried installing CM7 using the different methods discussed both here and on cyanogenmod forum. I have repartitioned and cleared user data and remounted data/system at various steps with the same result.
Once I boot up into CM7 the startup wizard does its thing but after the clock settings page the wizard crashes. note-I didn't bother with google account bc wifi isn't setup yet.
Then when i get to "home" screen it is blank (black). I can see icons top right but the don't do anything and android buttons (search, home, menu, back) do nothing. I can pull down the top menu to turn off/on wifi, bluetooth ect. and see notifications but thats it. The rest of the screen is completely black!
thanks,

Have you taken your cm7 zips from more than one source? Are you on 1.1 or 1.2 bootloader?
What do you mean by boot loader? I was able to load vegan 7 ok but i'm back to 5 again for now. I got the zip for cm7 from their official site.
got it all figured out. It must have had something to do with the bootloader. (finally figured out what that meant ). anywho got it working thanks to

Hey Champ,
I had the issue where the home button and the lock screen didnt work, and reflash the whole thing.
I flash the newest FXP kernel, the #4, and the wifi won't run, I havent tried to reload the wifi zip (yet) and the biggest issue is the homescreen auto turns to horizontal, and get's stuck there, my main icons are vertical but the rest of the home screen is horizontal.
What can I do? Reload again everything?
Problem?
Hey Meshe, I'm not Champ but I think I can help you out. My X10 is also running on the Xperia S port.
At this point, hopefully you haven't loaded/restored your apps yet! Cause I think the safest bet is to reload the ROM. Also, when you load the ROM, reboot the system!!! If you want to load add-ons, Wi-Fi, boot back into recovery AFTER you start up the ROM for the first time. I don't think its required, but it worked for me.
As for Wi-Fi I think you want to double check the Wi-Fi module is the same version that matches the kernel you chose (DoomLord has three versions)
Shortly after Team DRH's last update for their ICS 1.2 I installed it no problem and it ran for a few weeks. Then I left the tablet alone for a week or so and when I turn it on now the wifi is not working, it just says "turning on wifi" but never actually does. I've followed the reflash instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23147934&postcount=4 and I can re-install ICS endlessly. But even after following those instructions, and even after RayWaldos NVFlash for dummies, it still always says "turning on wifi" but doesn't.
When, during the above flashing, I let the stock tapntap boot, wifi works no problem. It's only when i install a ROM that it stops working. I even tried installing Gtabcombover and it gave me the same "turning on wifi" problem.
I did try searrching the forums, but I see no mention of this anywhere.
Thanks.
If I can be more to the point: does anyone know of a way to completely reflash stock everything? I thought I was doing that, but obviously not enough.
Or do I need to crack open my case and push that Dirty Little reset button?

I was able to use the DHR NUFLASH.. It worked real well for me.. download the right file (bootloader 1.1 or 1.2) to your pc, for your g-tab.hook up your USB cable Turn on your tab wile holding your volume (-) key , the logo will come on and then go black. Then go to the nuflash- win file, you downloaded to your pc and run.. The instructions are on the DHR site are vary good I read them a few times before I tried. Its worked great for me.. I'm a noob. Lets just say its just about makes the gtab un-brickable...

Well the good news is that after reading your post I went straight to the DRH website and lo and behold they had just posted Beta 1.3 that morning. I redownloaded their Full Stock CWM 5504 NVFLASh file even though I already had it, and the Beta 1.3.
I flashed the stock file and let it boot just like they said but the setup process began a FC loop and would not complete. I simply rebooted and the setup was able to complete. The I installed the Beta 1.3 with no Gapps and it worked like a charm. Wifi was working and everything, except there was no Market. So I did a wipe/FR and installed again this time with Gapps and everything is back, wifi, market, all good. And I have noticed that it all seems to work a ton faster and smoother.
Hey guys!
Im a first time rooter but somehow managed to root my Dell, flash Streakmod on it and install the DSC 2.0 ROM and then upgrade it to 2.3.
My problem is that the moment I unlock the screen after rebooting the phone I get a wall of notifications telling me that googlewhateversystem stopped working along with other applications. It seems that somewhow the whole introduction part of the phone went to ****.
Help?
Did you do both resets for DSC, namely Option 1 from the main menu and the reset option in StreakMod?

Yes. I installed DSC and after that made a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik etc... then I rebooted and did another factory reset on the dell standard recovery.
EDIT: I restored a backup and installed DSC again but this time I didnt do a factory reset and just wiped the cache. I managed to get on the phone but now I get constant notifications that android.phone has crashed. Any ideas?
EDIT2: I removed my sim card and restarted the phone. Everything works fine now. Seems like the Rom doesnt like my simcard. Well I guess I wont use it then. The keyboard is way to small anyway. I just wish that there would be a good ROM for me to use.
Pardon my english im from germany
It's odd that you're having such issues. I use DSC myself and have not had any problems using it. In fact, switching back to DSC solved a pair of annoyances that appear in the CM7 ROMs for the Streak: no camera zoom and the dialpad buttons being too small. If you're willing to put up with those annoyances, try using CM7 with _n0p_'s Phoenix kernel or one of the CM7 derivatives like Longhorn. Just be aware that other than DSC none of the Gingerbread ROMs are being actively maintained.
I honestly dont know what the problem is myself... I flashed it with ams and dps and then the recovery, installed the zip, wiped everything, fixed permissions and rebooted.
I tried this several times and everytime it has these crashes that make it unable to use the phone. Also after restoring my backup after the install the buttons on the bottom of the phones flash every minute or so.
Geez... why does it have to be so complicated xD?
EDIT: I decided to take a deep breath and try the whole procedure again. Flashed the phone, installed the zip, installed the update, wiped everything, rebooted, after the boot waited 10 mins and voila! It works like a charm!
If you Strephon now would be able to tell me how to change the keyboard to the default one then I'll gladly give you my thanks!
If you mean the Swype Keyboard...
Settings > Language & Keyboard. Make sure Swype is checked. Tap OK on any popups that appear and exit settings.
When you go to type something, e.g. a response to this post, press and hold the input area (the spot where you type). The menu that pops up should have an option labeled "Input Method". Tap on Input Method to change keyboards.
No I mean the standard big fat keyboard from the original Dell Streak 5 Rom. The DSC one is way to small for my fingers to type fast AND accurate.
The "big fat keyboard" is the Swype keyboard. The only other option is the default Android keyboard, with much smaller keys.
Hello,
I would like to apologize in advance if the question was posted before, the description is too brief or anything like that since it is my first post here (although I had searched for similar questions but didn't find any with a proper solution).
After installing CM10.2 with GApps on my Galaxy S2 i9100 (actually, before that I tried Firefox OS which messed up my /data, had to repartition manually and it helped then) I tried to install - and run - Triangle Away, but it froze. Then I made a terrible mistake imo: I rebooted. After that (I mean, after flashing CM again since it didn't work at all) I got an issue with the screen going black after unlocking the phone or apps freezing (running launcher, going to 'system settings' etc; tested on Trebuchet, haven't tried any other launcher so far). I also had a problem (again) with broken datafs, but used patched PIT from somewhere in here, I will edit out that post and paste the url to the thread.
Another thing that should be mentioned is that that status/notification bar is working without any problems when the launcher freezes, and when the screen goes black the 'back' and 'menu' buttons give feedback when pressed (they make the phone vibrate but when I press volume up/down there is no sound).
I've already tried doing wipe data/factory reset, cleaning cache and dalvik and wiping system with flashing CM again but without any progress. Also wanted to check adb logcat, but I cannot get into usb debugging settings (launcher freezes when 'system settings' is pressed).
What could be the solution?
Thank you very much for any answers!
Hi all, hoping to get some help. I rooted my phone the other week and was using viperrom. I had no problems whatsoever, no glitches that I could remember. That is, until I decided to trade my m8 with a friends Note 3. I factory reset it and give it to her, I left the viperrom on because she didn't mind but then the glitches started to happen. The onscreen bottom 3 buttons disappeared for her (home, back,etc.), So I reset it again but the problem persists. I searched for an at&t stock rom and sideloaded that after master resetting, wiping the dalvik cache and all that... now a different problem popped up. It hangs at the HTC logo for what seems like forever, but then I noticed the volume up and down make a noise as if the phone is loaded up. I pressed the power button a few times and eventually the screen turned on and I could see the home screen. This happens every time I restart the phone and I have tried reinstalling the stock rom a few times. I am now in the process of trying a different stock rom.. the first was odexed and this new one is deodexed, I dont know if that makes a difference in my situation but does anyone know what could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
Nvm, after a few more master resets it seems to have sorted itself out... not sure what it was but its gone now.
If its the latest version of Viper, based on 2.22 software, you need to update the firmware package, otherwise the long boot times will continue.
