NOTE: The power button and the headset do not work together for some reason. So, you have to choose one or the other. By default in my ROM the power button works but the headset does not. So, if you want the headset to work you will have to flash a separate kernel but then the power button will stop working.
So, it's highly recommended to turn on Volume Rocker Wake in Settings -> Display otherwise the screen won't turn on.

Thanks for the ROM. Can you add the gapps zip too?

Finally made a new test version very much after the fact:
Notice:
This one is a test version, it is a unified zip for all dell devices.
It REQUIRES CWM 6.0+ or TWRP 2.2+ (for the S7/S10) to install.
It is not compatable with streakmod. (for the S5)
As a bonus, I made it so it includes the permissions file so anyone using that can also use the Dell Stage 1.7 widgets from the market if they wish.
The widgets themselves are not actually bundled, download them off the market if you want, otherwise you dont need to do anything.
update-Gapps-ICS-20907-b1.zip
Contents:
Gapps: 4.0.4-422743
Market: 3.8.17
Supports neon and non-neon devices now (ie S7/S10)
missing text2speech voices from previous versions
Things I'm still missing (ie they're very out of date)
MarketUpdater <from 4.0.4-338691>
OneTimeInitialzer 4.0.4-338691
com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar <from 4.0.4-299849>
If nothing is broken (due to Gapps), I will finish preparing Gapps Opt/ICS.
I've been able to seperate better (I think) the optional files from the required ones.

I've made a Gapps package for the S5/7/10 a while back, it should work on this.
(if you wish to comment on my package specifically, please do so in original thread)

3G not auto dectect and can't add apn
camera not working
i wait MIUI V4

---

Thank you so much, it's a long time since we last tested a custom ROM! I will try it today!
Update: first impression is good: almost all things work well, except some minor points like you mentioned about the camera:
when turning on the Wifi, networks were not shown until I added one SSID manually myself;
MUTE key does not work;
Continue testing, and will update!

I played with the ROM for a bit. Mobile data doesn't work for me (AT&T). There is a bit of stuttering in graphics but final image displays quickly enough. Touch feature is quite responsive. Pinch and zoom in browser lags quite a bit though. Of course, the OP already mentioned the camera and headset.
I'm impressed overall. It needs work but I believe things will get ironed out in no time

Does not work, I flashed libcamera_update.v0.10. Did you?

---

Does the X10 even use the same camera module?
Sony designs their own camera modules, and may have used their own model in it, if that was the case there's no way it'd work. If it did work then something went horribly wrong.
There are working OV8810 drivers for other devices, the question is do they require kernel mods since the donor devices all used linux 3.0 and we dont.

Installed and tested the rom for 4 hours till now. Here is the list of my obserbations.
1. boot animation need resizing
2.wifi works but the color of the wifi doesnt change to blue it remains grey
above two is not an issue at all.
3. USSD code doesnt work. ===> fix: flash the ussd fix zip file for gingerbread rom posted by Themanii previously.
4.Mobile data doest work at all. some problem i guess. u can not create apn. i tried with tweakker application but strangely it says:
your sim card can not be used. make sure u have sim card and a proper gsm signal. you cannot use this application in airplane mode. but the phone already have the sim card and i can make call with it. see the attached screenshot (Baseband issue or rom issue ????)
5. There is no ringtone sound during incoming call. if u use the headset fix kernel u will get the sound via headset but not via phone speaker.
same applicable in case of any notification,
6.Wifi and usb tethering not working.( im sure it will work with 3rd party app from market)
7. And as the OP says headset and camera doesnt work. but if u flash the headset fix u can get the headset working but power button will stop functioning . so in case restart/shutdown use 3rd party application otherwise pull out your battery
8. Automatic brightness not working.
9. am/pm style not working under settings. it will not show anything either am or pm.
10. Led flashlight not working.
11. gallery>any photo>edit>face glow/ face tan produces force closes.
* @ Themanii i flashed your gapps but it doesnt include gtalk. and does google card not working for us??
This is my observation. i will post further if something unusual happen.
Everything else works for me thats includes wifi(need to add one ssid manually),usb mass storage, bt, incoming outgoing call, voice calirity, mute during call, gps, assisted gps, compass, auto rotation., touch, youtube in Hq also works but i get sign in error in youtube continiously dont know why.
so basically i found the above mention things is not working and rest of all cm9 feature is working.
