[Q] DSC(UK Users only) / Sky Go - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone successfully got a DSC rom working with Sky Go on their Streak 5?
I have only had success by returning to a stock ROM and using the app from this link.

I'll have a try from memory,
[Background info]
I was running from latest DSC at the time, then dabled with CM7
[Very rough guide]
Download stock 407 zip
Fastbooted, stock 407 recovery.
Installed stock olleh 407.
(I just followed the streak wiki guides for all of the abovd)
Installed skygo test app ( skygo_test_0.1.5.apk) from link in OP
This worked straight off
I have since re-rooted this rom, again using streak wiki guides, this obviously stopped sky go from working.
Installed Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from market.
Skygo works again for all channels.
I take no credit for this and acknowledge the great work of others for the great wiki guides and the author of the modified skygo apk.
Hope this helps, but bear in mind this is just recalled from my memory and not a definitive guide, any changes you make are at your own risk, just read the wiki's (".... Too busy bricking it")

[Q] Dell Streak 2.2 rooted?

I tried to root my Streak with Android 2.2 using previous patches. The result was a locked phone that didn't want to start anymore. So eventually I completely restored it and it's working again.
Has anyone managed to successfully root Android 2.2 on the Streak? If so, please let me know.
Z4root from the market is working fine. Try that.

Thanks, works great.
Had to download it manually though as I couldn't find it on the market.

Any option for those of us with a Mac or any other option to do it right from the phone?
I wasn't able to get SuperOneClick, z4Root or Universal Androot working after upgrading to the official 12821 build which came down in the 318 package posted on the Dell website. So I borrowed DJ Steve's boot.img, flashed it (with fastboot), applied Universal Androot a couple of times as usual and now it's rooted. Steve's boot.img is in the zip file at
android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/325889/streakdroid-1-5-1-release-post/
(sorry, it's my first post so they won't allow links yet...)
(I started off with a Dell Streak on 1.6 when I got a Dell Streak from O2 here in the UK as a replacement in August when I lost my Xperia. The upgrade to 2.1 messed it up so I've been following both Steve and Dell. It's been quite a ride, but I have to hand it to Steve, he's kept it interesting, been patient with the questions, kept my phone in better condition better than Dell and O2 and I've learned a lot in the process. Cheers, Steve. So, now I have the official Dell 2.2, rooted and about to put Clockwork-mod back on. I look forward to the next part of the journey. A donation to Steve is on it's way. Merry Christmas.)
usb debugging mode
I couldn't get any of the root programs to work, until I went to settings, applications, development and enabled usb debugging. Might be worth a try.

Superoneclick has a mac option. Requires you to download mono. Long downliad but handy to have. Rooted mine on a macbook with no issues.

Do you have a guide for using it on the mac? I downloaded mono but wheno I ran sudo mono superoneclick.exe it errored out.

[GUIDE] [FIX] for T-Mobile MMS Tiny / Blurry Images

I noticed that several other members who are using their Streak on T-Mobile were having the same issues that I was having receiving tiny, or blurry, MMS pictures. I searched for several hours with no success on finding a fix for this on the Streak forum, so I decided to try different fixes that other members had suggested form different forums. I finally found the right MMS.apk file that works for out Streak and decided to share it with everyone. I posted this about a week ago in another thread and figured it might be kind of hard for others suffering with this issue to find, so I decided to make a new thread in order to make it easier. This fix should work on any Streak froyo rom. I have tested it on the stock 345 and 351 roms and it works without an issues.
First, make sure your Streak is rooted. You can root your Dell Streak using GingerBreak developed by Chainfire. Here is the forum for Chainfire's GingerBreak.
After that just follow these steps I posted below and you should now have your T-Mobile mms images displaying at the correct size.
Novembre5 said:
I was also having the same problems with T-Mobile MMS images displaying tiny and blurry. I found the attached mms.apk on another forum, not sure which one because I tried about 10 different ones, and this one attached was the only one that worked with no FC's.
First, root the phone and deleted the stock mms.apk (can be found in folder system/app), make sure you save a backup of the stock mms.apk file, just in case you want to restore back to the stock one.
After you delete the stock mms.apk file reboot the phone.
Finally, you just need to installed the attached mms.apk and reboot the phone once again.
I should mention though, this was all done using the stock 345 and 351 roms. This mms.apk gives you the option to select a Custom User-Agent in the Messaging settings. Just select custom from the drop down menu and then type in NexusOne as the phone. And that should correct your tiny/blurry mms pictures on T-Mobile.
Please let me know if this works for you and if you are on another rom please state that as well. Thank you.
P.S.
The apk is inside the zip file attached. Just unzip the file and install the apk inside after you delete the stock one and follow the above directions of course.

If this helps you please click Thanks.
This works. Just fine. But why did it make messaging so damn slow?
what model streak do you have? if it's not an AWS it might be because you're stuck on edge speeds
Anyone else have Luck with this?

Working great for me!

Will this work on the gingerstreak roms?
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Novembre5, I've found if you use the mms.apk out of a matching cyanogenmod rom then this fix works for even the latest streakdroid 2.4 rom, then only thing to remember is to match android versions.
ie: if the rom you currently have is 2.2 then get the apk file out of 2.2 cyanogen rom and apply the same fix you described, likewise for 2.3 get a 2.3 cyanogen rom
note: since I had a t-mobile g2 before, I can only confirm this working with mms.apk from those roms

Its been made.very clear you have to do an extensive wipe to flash either the CM7 or MIUI ROMs on the Streak. The fact you are bootlooping or stuck at Dell logo proves you probably didn't do that OR worst case scenario you may have to reformat your entire inner SD as we have no idea what you did before going to Gingerbread.
So factory reset from BOTH recoveries (Dell recovery and Streakmod) and flash again.
I can't believe I just wrote that when its in countless posts... I must be in a good mood today

If you believe GingerStreak is good, then you want to try DSC or CM7. GingerStreak hasn't been updated in over a year now and was based on beta code for Gingerbread. DSC and CM7 are far more current, far more stable, and have few (if any) showstopper bugs.
honestly, i would recommend to try dsc 1.0 first and when you have familiarized yourself with it, goes for dsc 1.1
ICS is now being developed for the streak. I have been using the pre-alpha build and for me it is now good for use as an everyday rom.
Im not saying its 100% bug free yet but ive been using it for 3 days now and i can live with the issues it currently has now.
After todays update flash is now working and for me that was the only undesirable, with it now fixed I wont be turning back.
The rom is being updated at a good pace and I dont think the beta is too far away.

[Q] Requesting assistance with CWM recovery

Hey guys and gals (although I suspect mostly guys =|)
I have become a noob. A few years ago I was fully into this with flashing and modding scene with the Huawei ideos 8150 phones, done as a service on a local auction website, mostly as many found they were too slow.
After doing this for about 6 months I dropped it as I went into study, my pc has been formatted numerous times since and I can't for the life of me remember what the Android software is called that directly interacts with the linux subsystem on the phone/device.
Why? I now have a T-mobile Galaxy S Vibrant (SGH-T959) and i've been trying to get CyanogenMod 10.0 onto it.
I have rooted the phone thru SuperOneClick via pc (as Z4root would crash).
I have installed OCLF v2
Android system is curently Froyo 2.2 (krnl 2.6.32.9)
I am able to successfully flash the clockwork mod recovery but please see attachment View attachment 1636948
The phone automatically re-installs the default recovery apk's when the recovery menu is launched. Why?
I have taken a look at alternatives like heimdall and odin to flash the ROM but i'm not at all confident because I've never had a ROM fail to flash, so I'm in-experienced at recovery
I'd really appreciate your help on this - I've done research into why this might be happening, but those cases seemed to be unique down to other factors..
I am not familiar with OCLF v2???
Here is a guide with files etc. The issue you are having is because of froyo more specifically android recovery 3(e). The easiest thing to do IMO is Odin back to stock, that takes care of recovery issue, root again then use the update.zip from this guide.

Hey
OneClickLagFix v2 makes an external ext3 directory for swapfiles and prog access or somehting, it's pretty amazing and it sped up I/O via Quadrant by 1600 points making ythe phone so fast it can't complete the boot animation because it's already loaded
Thanks for that guide too, Imma work thru that one shortly
1) You mean the kernel?
2) Recovery doesn't use apks. It's a binary program that runs without the OS. Apks are used within the Android OS, for example being either apps or components like the status bar.
Visit the CyanogenMod wiki for a full update guide for the Vibrant (there's a link in the nightly thread under "from Samsung stock")

Oh wow, a reply form the mod-god himself . I am honored!
I ended up following a poorly written guide to mod my Vibrant from Android 2.3 to JFD using ODIN. Flashed update.zip which seemed to give me a temporary CWM recovery, next reboot it was back on stock. Tried again and the CWM recovery stuck.
Phone is currently running CyangogenMod 10.1 with gapps-jb-20121212-signed as is running amazingly well.
I realize that I've flashed a nightly build of 10.1 and using it as a daily driver was not recommended, but so far it's flawless with the expcetion that I haven't yet tested GPS and I haven't found how to get Google's own navigation software back. I'm a computer tech who often visits customers homes, so fairly important that it works

Most of the CM work comes from the Galaxy S-line work done by pawitp, and the work done by others in the CyanogenMod team and Gerrit.
You can get Maps from the Play Store.

full flash for stock should be up soon.
so you can flash back the stock boot, recovery, droidboot images also will have a unrooted system image.
soon after images with the updates applied will come.

I plan on attempting twrp after I finish the toolKIT and updating the factory images for both devices.
That is a miss conception the bootloaders are in fact locked the v8 dev conversion comes with a dev signing tool to sign the kernel, modules, and boot.img it also only comes with the boot stub for boot not one for recovery or fastboot though it might be possible to sign images repacked with the Intel packing tools that turl originally supplied.
But we will see.

Thank you. Another thing worth noting is that I can't get a lot of root apps to work on the JC stock rooted 4.3 flash. Firstly, I cannot modify iptables, which is the basis of DroidWall and Orbot Privoxy, both important apps to me. This appears to be a kernel incapability... Specifically the netfilter command.
Another major problem I'm having is that I can't install Xposed. It writes/installs properly but my V8 goes into bootloop, not fixable until I disable Xposed.
I also installed Busybox, manually mounted /system rw, and tried everything one more time hoping it would fix it, nothing changed.
Also worth noting is when I flashed the JC ROM, SuperSU did not come with it and I had to install it manually. Not sure if this is normal.
Any help is appreciated,

I have a venue 7 personally so I have never used the case root image. I haven't tested I was working on obtaining the remaining images for the factory v8. and a simple toolKIT to make flashing for the average user as easy as possible. If you look back through the root thread there is a version of exposed that was beta for the Asus Intel tablet that works just don't update it, in the tool kit I hope to have finalized tmrw I included an installer for the working exposed few.

Update: I got Xposed installed using the Asus/Intel beta mentioned above (thank you!). I'm finding myself pretty happy with my tablet now. Even though it was stock, there were just some obvious things missing, one of them annoying as heck: lack of a restart button (really?). I installed Gravity Box and everything seems to be working fine on this beta. I even got XHaloWindows working! Screenshots attached. I was definitely not gonna be able to live without multitasking, and I had a feeling it wasn't gonna work with our x86 tablet. So just so everyone knows, everything Xposed related is working, and I included pics of my current setup.
It's still driving me nuts that nothing iptables related will function. I am aware that this can be fixed simply via ticking a setting in the kernel configuration file. Netfilter to be exact. I'm hoping that can be fixed. (I'm not smart enough to mess with kernels yet lol).
I hope this inspires someone!

Did root break encryption making for anyone else? I can start the process but then the tablet just reboots.

Hi,
I am a little confused about this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681793...why is it in the General forum and not in one of the Dell Venue subforums? It really doesn't belong in the main General forum, so I need to move it somewhere more appropriate and I don't want to just blindly move it into the Venue forums, if there was a reason for it to be elsewhere.
Thanks

Thank you it is much appreciated that you didn't just blindly move the thread without asking first.
I don't feel the Venue forums located under the legacy / low activity devices is the proper place for these devices, the venue device covered under that is the old failed DEll Venue Phone and not the New Intel Mobile Internet Class Device that these tablets are, there were a few threads created by other users for these device under that heading but it seemed to have been causing confusion for both users of the Venue Phone and New users with the Venue 7 / 8 and was hard for new users to find...
The other issue was the original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520166 was becoming a very toxic environment users getting upset about people posting general questions in a root thread so i felt the need to separate rooting and general device discussion into two threads.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681793 the forum you inquired about located under General discussion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681783 my other forum also located under General discussion.
While i understand that both these threads are misplaced under the General discussion > General > heading i feel that if they need to be moved a new device should be created for them to keep the seperate from the older Dell Venue Phone. Honestly i fell XDA needs to create a new category to house all Intel Mobile Internet Class Device as this is an emerging market.
thank you for your time and please please please on behalf of the Dell Venue Intel Mobile Internet Class Device users i beg you not to move our device to the dead section.
We have a large system update, any info on what it is?
