update 18/08/2011
changed some minor things here, and split build into 2 versions
changelog:
Added ad-hoc wifi support
Added a cool new feature that im not revealing yet, little challenge for you folks
Split build into 2 versions, one for wi-fi only devices and one for 4g ones, wifi only build is exactly same as 4g except all the 3g/4g related services and apps have been removed - should save battery somewhat
hello again folks,
some good news here and some bad news.
firstly this builds being released as a Release version as its pretty much 100% working now,
screenshots are unfortunatly broken again though as ive had to replace alot of files to get rest working, its a kernel related issue and cant be easily fixed until dell drop the kernel next month hopefully.
changelog:
Rebased Yet Again onto a newer 3.2 device build,
Fixed MTP Usb support so mounting of storage is alot more usable
hacked the hell out of most of the system apps to get them working right for streaks screen res.
launcher works properly again
default lcd density of 120 again which is perfectly usable.
camera supports upto 720p video, 1080p doesnt work right so removed the ability for now
resized the partitions so that their is about 6gb for apps and data and ~8.1gb remaining for user storage - thats a issue in the way honeycomb manages storage
1080p and 720p video playback works perfectly also
Install Instructions:
1. Download the streakdroid zip from below, this contains all the files and drivers required to flash your device to honeycomb
2. Extract the zip to a folder on your pc - I recommend c:\flash and will use that path in this example
3. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED
4. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED
5. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED
6. Turn off your 7 and unplug the usb cable from it, then hold BOTH volume keys down and connect the usb cable, if done correctly your pc should detect the apx device. choose to update the driver, choose the second option then let me choose from a list, choose have disk then navigate to c:\flash\usbpcdriver and choose the only one it shows (Nvidia boot recovery driver for mobile devices)
7. Double click the Download.bat file in the c:\flash directory and wait a while it will take some time depending on the speed of your pc and usb ports.
8. Once the box disappears hold down power on your 7 untill dell logo appears (can take a little while) then wait for a few mins for some honeycomb tasting goodness.

thanks folks and please report any issues.
Links no work... am I too early?
links fixed
Alright, I will start buggy testing this and get back to you... it just booted. WOOHOO!!
Bug 1, can't install anything. I've tried to install things from the market and from my card... no go. Just say's "Cannot open file" .
Edit: Rebooted twice to see if that would fix the problem... no go.
didnt get that here, tho i suspect i know the issue,
replace the files in the flash folder with the ones attached, and reflash
edit: sorry fixed the files in the attached zip now, it should flash
Flashed it just now. nice boot animation.
trying to install titanium from the market fails, tries to download but quits without status message
Now I get a System.img too large for partition when trying to flash. DOH!
yea ill be uploading a fixed build in a sec have fixed issue here

use the second file he uploaded I got the same thing but with updated file it went through, can't install anything from the market though
yep im fixing that issue now, gimme 15 mins )
Eagerly Anticipating
Cant wait to test it out
Have a couple of fast questions though. Any idea if bluetooth keyboards are working properly? Also, I am using co-pilot ( GPS Software for Android ) .... that should work correctly im hoping right ? lol. I saw somewhere that theres a way to get Netflix working so Im not too concerned with that although its one of the other main uses for my streak
Thanks for your hard work DJ_Steve
Yes Thanks for your hard work DJ_ Steve, really appreciate it.

Looks Amazing. Market is working here for me ( WIFI Only DS7 )
PS
On a side note. Is there any way you could create the same kind of setup so its easy to flash the stock partitions back? I know how to get it working via nvflash but this would make recovery so much faster lol
Market working now, everything seems to work, bluetooth, youtube in landscape and portrait and the camera is working perfect. I have to lower the lcd density to 105 for the kindle to app work but no biggie. This is perfect, don't really see a need for an official build from Dell now.
Although I kinda miss the launcher icons from the asus transformer build and the weather widget, anyone know how to port those over?

/Agree...Dell can just can the project. Now if only netflix would work LOL
Also, is there an easier way to adjusting density rather than modifying files? I was using lcd density changer previously but that doesnt work now
Congratulations DJ_Steve! Yet another masterful release! I have taken peeks at some other projects you've worked with, including the Nokia N800 OS changes(Have one myself!), and I am thoroughly impressed and humbled by your innate ability to develop quickly and with the best flourishes. I hope to see you continue on with this and other new projects that I can invest some time and money in!

I bought an app from the market that worked for me from beansoft https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer
It saves the lcd density permanently to the appropriate file. I have mine set to 105 for the kindle app to work.

Hi,
I hope, it's the same Version I'm trying actually, so here's my feedback:
TOPA100, Gingerbread Release GBX0A dated 12/02, no overclocking
1st impression: running very fast and very stable, no problems with basic functions
problems after detailed check:
1) GSM/3G signal reception is weak in comparison to FRX04 (cannot receive a 3G sig at a place where I usually have one under FRX04 or WiMo)
2) GPS not working
positive things to mention:
1) faster than FRX04
2) wakeup is working stable
3) switching on/off WiFi (have to activate it in WiMo first, of course) works stable even after 12-14 hours
4) Camera not working, but the app doesn't crash in photo mode
5) with a for me "normal" kind of usage (longer standby periods, checking SMS/MMS around every hour, receiving email every 30 minutes, some WiFi action, testing some apps, one or two calls) I have a battery duration time of somewhere between 18 and 24 hours
Conclusion for the devs: why not switching over to Gingerbread?
Cheers
Zap
Good system
Zaphod_b_1 +1
I have the same comments.
I installed FLash 10.1 . It doesn't crash the browser like in froyo. but nothing displays.
The sensor doesn't work so most games and the landscape mode won't work.

SD card is still working for me
Have you got the latest rootfts?
Double checked and updated kernel and rootfs, sdcard mounts but settings show free space and total as unavailable and various apps say there's no sdcard whereas some find it without a problem.

I'm pretty sure the problem is that we're running it off the SD card, so it recognizes that as the phone and then can't find another source, as there isn't one.
Some apps work for me and some don't
What you all have been waiting for has finally arrived, Honeycomb for Nexus S and yes, it's sexy.
Credits:
First of all before I begin, I would like to give ALL credit over to bypass for letting me base off of his N1 sdk port and giving me a few pointers! Master and jumaaneface for helping me debug. DJ_Steve for massive help!
DJ_Steve has pretty much pointed me in the right direction for: Data, audio, gpu acceleration, and MASSIVE amount of debugging Thanks a million!
make sure you all thank him for alot i've accomplished.
thanks to apreichner who pointed to me the sgs port (which wasn't much help) but will be helping with testing and developing
Honeycomb Nexus S test alpha 3
What works: Touchscreen ( includes multitouch) , usb, sdcard, full gpu acceleration, audio speaker and headset , data , GPS
What doesn't: wifi, bt, camera/gallery, phone calls, voice search (at the moment) and more I can't remember.
Notice: If the screen becomes unresponsive to touch and/or stuck, a simple rotation will fix it. Sometimes, the home button (on screen and capacitive) won't work, just go to another app and go home from there, OR try pressing back. The performance was silking smooth and fast until I fixed data for some reason, now it's at a decent speed. I do plan on building a kernel to increase performance and optimize it in future updates.
Upon boot, you will experience a launcher2 FC and several Gapps like Geniewidget. Just ignore them and they go away
Included apps: All Google apps minus the SetupWizard including: Market, Gmail, Maps, Search, Navigation, Car home, Places, Books, Music 3.0, Genie widget, and Latitude , torch, and a file manager.
This is a pre-rooted ROM with su and superuser.
Requirements: root, Latest clockwork recovery
instructions: Full wipe required! and dalvik-cache wipe recommended.
MAKE A NANDROID!!! I am NOT responsible for anything you may do to your device as you all know.
Update will be through a nandroid (pre-cleaned)
1.Unzip nandroid and place inside "backup" folder inside the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard
2. Complete a FULL-WIPE before restoring, including dalvik-cache and cache.
3. Restore the nandroid.
4. Reboot and enjoy!!!

When it boots up, it has a bad flickering problem. Sometimes the screen will go black and appear to be off. Just touch the screen to see the GUI and navigate as you would normally.

@jroid: if you set the lcd_density in /system/build.prop to:
ro.sf.lcd_density = 240
It will start the phone ui instead of the normal honeycomb ui

Just got done playing around with the rom. So far it looks really nice especially the settings. I got shootme to install but when I shook the phone it wouldn't take any screen shots I'm guessing because the accelerometer doesn't work? Overall I like it! Let me know if there's any thing I can do to help get this rom 100%
Could anyone upload the gallery and music player apk file? I’d like to test if they work in my Galaxy S.

please report other issues and general thoughts on the rom.
Downloading and flashing now! thanks allready!
it works? I tried to get it working the other day and couldn't. either way thank you very very much!!!
same here, great work!
Thanks, giving it a try now
Wow,
Installing as we speak.
I will get back on this...
Well it's running fine for now Great work
MArket is broken, but as you stated it's a beta, maybe you could team up with other adam developers (josh ) to make this one beast of a CM7
Greetz,
couldn't get it to work properly..
First bootloop, then when it booted everything FC'ed..
After another reboot and wipe I could't get past the touch android to begin screen..
Very strange..
I got it booted...
Can't get the market to work though. A good start but needs work before it'd be a daily driver for me. I'll probably go back to vegan soon.
this is sweet, going to try this tomorrow =)
hi thx for your input in our life with Adam
It booted for me after wiping data and cash
First it seemed to be bit glichy and slow with response...
the design with Honey comb like bar is very nice
but WiFi could not connect to my router and i try and try and try and try
and reboot and try
and change permissions on router and try
and no go for me
as for included aps Terminal emulation FC. on me
hym
Looking forward for next version
Now back on Beast
regards
Just installed to take a look. Nice to see cm7 on the Adam. Got wifi going unlike others, but most applications would fc.
Thanks for starting this project.
Sent from my Adam LCD 3G using XDA App
Thanks a lot DJ_Steve.
Installed it on my PQi Wifi Adam and here are updates so far. ( Wiped data )
1. Firefox FC but installing it from SD card again and its working fine now
2. Market FC. Tried the Market trick ( clearing data on service, fc market and reboot) but didn't work
3. Installed Titanium backup from SD card apk. Works fine
4. Used Ti Backup to restore some apps like thumb keyboard and they work fine
5. Installed Dolphin Browser HD but it starts in portrait mode and I cannot click accept button.
6. I got a prompt on first boot to install some apps like facebook, gmail etc but they all failed with a FC on market.
So far the ROM runs really fast and working great. I need dig the PQi toggle app and install. I like the HC look and the smoothness of the ROM.
Kudos .. and Thanks ..
Will post after more testing.
Have you talk with mad-murdock about the changes you made to make it work? It would be best to get this included with the official builds.
That said, god job on this. Similar issues to arvi007 so far. Firefox and Market FC. Terminal Emulator causes a reboot. Red LED on the side of the Adam is on all of the time.
I'll keep playing and see what else I can come up with.
Crud, not long after I said this I rebooted and it died. Had to NVFlash to get it back.
Not seen most of those issues here. But their is bugs. Ill see if I cant build from source at a point soon

Yeah, getting quite a few Force Closes.
Fruit Ninja THD for example closes due to Webkit problems, you said you removed the stock browser, so these probably go hand in hand.
Dolphin HD also crashes for an unknown reason.
Feel free to add in my Pixel Qi toggler app if you like, (MrGuy here)

Great start, will definitely be following this, would be great to get a stable CM7 build on the Adam
Mostly Working
I have a PQ+Wifi adam and i got CM7 working using this build but when I did a shut down power off and try to power on again the device never boots. I have to debrick it. Otherwise besides the browser/Camera issues and a FC in gmail when opening a message with an attachment it was a great start towards a fully functional CM build
Edit:
Fixed the reboot problem by not using Clockwork Recovery. I wonder if this is related to the issue CW /CM has on the G2 were when you power it off it goes to recovery instead of completely turning off.
I somehow got the market working. However, Firefox does not work.
Being CM7 is there CIFS and TUN support? I really need something to let me access windows shares from my corporate network over VPN.
I should have tried it before I went back to Beast and got all comfy
Looking forward to using this, but will wait till the bugs get worked out. Enjoying Beast at the moment.
This mod allows for mirroring in landscape mode using the MirrorService.apk from Photon. Output is scaled up from the native resolution up to 1080p if your display supports it.
I am still in the process of trying to better package this so it will not wreck havok on existing installs. Any updates will be posted here.
Flashing this will likely result in problems for you, so be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
-you must wipe data
-restoring apps with TiBu will likely not work
-could possibly break market installs / updates
-this will NOT work on CM7
-webtop will not be available over HDMI
Here's a link to the CWM flashable zip:
http://96.126.112.115/HDMI-landscape-0.1.zip
I have personally tested this with Aura Rom 1.2.2.2 Deblur, but I have no reason to believe it won't work on other blur based roms.
Standard disclaimers apply-- Not responsible for data loss or if your phone catches fire etc.
Update 11/16/2011: It seems like this can be more reliably included in a rom vs. being added later due to the nature of how the mirror service works. I have successfully modified a version of Aura to include this and have been running it with much fewer issues over the past few days.
Method 2: This is the exact process I have used most recently. It resigns your entire rom to avoid any signature mismatch related issues.
You will need:
Apk Manager
A copy of your ROM zip file
a program to modify the contents of the zip (WinRAR, 7zip, etc.)
HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip containing all the files needed to get mirroring working
Instructions:
1. Extract Apk Manager to a folder somewhere
2. Extract all the apks from your ROM (/system/app for most, Aura has these in /debloat/app), be sure to include /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the provided MirrorService.apk, to the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder where you extracted Apk Manager.
3. Delete all the apk's in the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder that should not be resigned. (Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk, etc)
4. run Script.bat in the Apk Manager folder and run option 16.
5. Drag all the apks you just re-signed back inside your ROM zip file to overwrite the existing files. (don't forget that framework-res.apk needs to go in the /system/framework folder)
6. Copy the remaining needed files inside the HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip to their corresponding location in your ROM zip. /system/lib/ & /system/framework need the following files:
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.iextdispservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.imirrorservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.inativehdmiapis_v1.jar
/system/lib/libmirrrorjni.so
/system/lib/hw/overlay.tegra.so
7. You can now flash your modified ROM image!
This method will leave you with a working Webtop if your ROM already included the option to allow webtop over HDMI.
Be warned, using the webtop will very likely cause the mirroring to malfunction until you reboot your phone. As long as you don't use the webtop in a given boot, the mirroring works great.
Will you post your version of Aura with the mirroring enabled? or will you wait for diviance to update aura?

is it the completely debloat edition? if so, can you PM it to me as well? i personally don't like dark themes ROMs, as awesome as Darkside is.
@starwarrior,
Great job, first of all!
Did you (or anyone else) find some of the instability included not being able to install specific apps, or move apps to sd without hot reboots?
Just curious to see what your experience has been. If not, please let me know what ROM and process you used exactly.
Thanks.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
great job mate, just wondering if webtop over hdmi still works with your modified apk? i read the other thread a bit but didnt really find a conclusive answer. thanks
Nice finding Starrwarrior! Just CWM flashed hdmi-landscape.0.1.zip on my atrix and still can't believe HDMI landscape mirroring works Even if it's at a lower res than 720p You just made my cellphone one hell of a of awesome purchase !
Since I got a day off today, I'll try the resigning method on the alienv4 rom and hope that in the end, webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd AND weptopscripts can all coexist on atrix with this rom.
One question though: do you mind if you list every apk (except for Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk) you excluded from resigning please ? Even though it's from a different rom, I am taking a shot through the dark here lol.

Those are the only Google Apps that I know of that generally get updated. As a rule of thumb, if it is updated via the market it would be a bad idea to re-sign it. Worst case scenario you can just adb push the original one back to your phone from your ROM's zip.
Totally awesome Starrwarrior!!!
Will try Method 2 on the first chance I have!
Cheers!
Rayan
Thanks for the feedback starrwarrior. Although I went ahead before looking at your post and avoided resigning MOST of the apks except the blur ones lol...
I can now confirm that modding alienv4 with your second method makes webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd and webtopscripts work altogether on my Bell Atrix (after fixing the RAM issue, but for me I had it only happen on the stock ATT gingerbread and the alienv4 rom; it didn't happen on CM7 BaT2). As long as webtop wasn't booted before using HDMI mirroring, it's smooth sailing for me.
(edited after further playing with modded alienv4 rom)
I realized I broke google market (no big deal, just reflashed old version of gapps) and every blur-related app (maybe a big deal because of the following sentence -_-)
I also broke ringtones/notifications (in settings --> sounds, phone doesn't detect ANYTHING and I can't assign ANY ringtones/notifications; I even tried RingDroid and Ring Commander and I get a FC every time...)
I'll admit I just blindly followed the 2nd method though.
(edited again after redoing starrwarrior second method of rom editing of alienv4)
I just ONLY EXCLUDED resigning gmail.apk, maps.apk, superuser.apk and youtube.apk. I resigned the rest of the apk in the alienv4 rom.
Now I have ringtones back and I can finally reassign them. Webtop over HDMI, webtop2sd, webtopscripts AND HDMI landscape mirroring (still at a lower res than 720p though) still work althogether. I'll play with this modified rom for a while and reediting my post after a few more days.
If all's well, I'll try to PM kennethpenn afterwards, even though I read that he doesn't have the time to support this rom anymore
You are the Atrix HDMI mirror GOD!
Is there any chance that this mod will be applicable to a stock ROM (preferably without completely wiping it) at some point or is it looking like this is pretty much what you will have to do?
S*** just got REAL!

I owe this Guy a drink for sure! Now is there any way to implement this in cm7?
Runnin' CM7 thirsty for ICS so I got the bootleg
awesome work, keep it up!
Would be rad to see an all in one .zip to flash cheers man really appreciate the effort.
Incredible
Tried method 2 with Pi Crust .8 once, in a bit of a time crunch, but no go. Guessing didn't take all the correct app files out of /system/apps/. Took out one's in OP and couple more I thought fit the bill. I'll give it another shot soon before I set up my webtop.
Backed up and had darkside running just to smile and show the fellow co-working, android heads today. Thanks again for revamping the Atrix once more! I'll post Pi Crust if I get it working I suppose. Navalynt posted in it's OP that he kinda made it for stuff like this (though I'll double check and webtop/FP scanner always has worked well for me on it.
Has some used this in alien?
Does it work?

It just me or this awsome mod had a little downside: resourses consuming. It seems it slowdown phone a little. Specially poaying games. Play is good but not as fluid than playing only on the phone...
Thats strange, tho, since photon have the same HW. Maybe a ROM optimization issue?

I played around with my modded alienv4 rom for the weekend. On my atrix, I didn't notice any slowdown while playing on fpse nor n64 with ps3 controller connected on bluetooth. That's with HDMI mirroring. On webtop, it lags a bit but it's not unbearable, even with a firefox window open at gamefaqs.com lol. I wish I had a photon for testing purposes.

@ starrwarrior
I got a potentially huge issue on webtop since I applied the mod. On my modded alienv4 rom, I can use my ps3 bluetooth keypad on the android view window BUT NOT OUTSIDE of it. I can't type in any app in ubuntu with the bluetooth keyboard BUT I can still use the onscreen keyboard and trackpad on the atrix... how weird... It's as if I never activated bluetooth keyboard in webtop. Does this happen to you too on any bluetooth keyboard or mouse? If you're not using webtop, never mind the question lol.
Unofficial, no warranty, express or implied. Not final, nothing to do with the CM people, not backed by them, not made by them, may cause corruption of innocent kittens if used irresponsibly. I am posting this only because the main CM sources are not perfect right now for building for Qualcomm devices just yet, and need some tweaks in new branches.
CM 10.2 Android 4.3 built for, and working on Pollux_Windy, once again thanks to Sony using such nice, open-source-friendly devices.
Working:
WiFi
Compass + sensors
Sound
Bluetooth
Front + Rear Camera
External SD (including ExFAT)
Not Working:
GPS
This is for the Pollux_Windy (SGP311) Wifi ONLY tablet. It should work on the SGP312 (32 GB wifi only) as well, but will NOT work on the Pollux (with LTE).
http://goo.im/devs/pulser/TabletZSGP311/CM10.2/cm-10.2-20130810-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip
Tried to flash this but i'm getting an error about device build prop not matching requirements. I had a 312 rom on first, and flashed a 311 stock rom, but still get the error. My device is 311 by default.
Do i need to edit my build.prop? Even though my device shows as SGP311?
EDIT: Ah nevermind, i had the stock bootloader still installed. Doh!
If anyone needs Gapps I found them here:

Updated to 30 July build - includes the new Focal camera app. Yes, it has a few bugs with tablets and orientation. It's known.
Is root possible yet? I tried the supersu zip that was attached in op, but still needs the binary according to the supersu app. Do we need to adb push the binary?
Edit: Nevermind, just tried the latest supersu and works fine.
I can't get a restricted user to work for the life of me. All kinds of processes are force stopping and I couldn't pick trebuchet from the list on setup either, though I did manage to work around that with Apex eventually, though Apex kept crashing too.
I assume apps might have to support this (or at least launchers?) But core processes?
I did dirty flash so it's possible that has something to do with it.
Still digging around. I'll clean flash later to retry restricted users too.

Restricted profiles are not tested or a priority right now in CM I believe.
Got this working on my xtz SGP311 seems really quick so far recovery plays nice, only real issues I've encountered is that the screen flickers black every now and then using the aosp browser and MX player pro doesn't work as android 4.3 isn't supported yet which has nothing to do with the rom.
WiFi and GPS seem to working used google maps to find a location and navigate there had no issues with those yet.
Definitely something different over the Sony ui and less cluttered just need the sony remote
Gonna have a play with it and see how I get on with it lots of options to play with hehe

Check out the project by @Apache14 that brings infrared remote control support to non Sony ROMs!
Are you sure gps is working? I don't think it should be in this ROM...
I had a go at the open source IR by apache but had no luck getting it to work, but I'm not sure if I installed it right.
I'll have another play with GPS today as I've got more time and let you know I could have jumped the gun on this one lol. I quickly downloaded an app called GPS test and although it says the GPS is on it doesn't show anything else like coordinates or location I'll keep playing for now though.

Thanks a lot for throwing this together... everything seems to be working great, I'm impressed by focal.
I'm still struggling with is the absence of tablet UI (trying to hit the home softkey in landscape is impossible, so I've been forced to full!screen, which is working well), but it's a small price to pay for the jump from Sony's 4.1.2 to a functional 4.3 Rom.

Interesting. Out of interest, how do you use your tablet ? I'm just trying to work out if there is any link or difference - personally I thought the same, that tablet was good, until I used my Nexus 10... Then I was "sold" - tablet UI was sub-optimal. I tend to use the tablet with 2 hands - one holding it, another free across the top for use. I find keeping navigation to the centre more logical personally, and more ergonomic. It also keeps the notification tray at the top, consistent with the phone. At other times, I use the tablet as a "monitor" and type with a Bluetooth keyboard, where I do not interact with the touchscreen much (except at arm's length), and find phablet UI quite convenient. Moreso than I felt with tablet UI.
It's intriguing though. I am sure I can look at readding it some time, but I'm fairly busy so it will take a while. I noticed Sony seem to be moving to phablet UI for 4.2 as well though...
I hold mine on the sides and mostly interact with my thumbs, thus central on screen controls are hard to reach. But, to each his own. I also use Thumb Keyboard exclusively on my tablets, much more natural than trying to type with one hand holding with the other.
so yeah i finally got around to testing the GPS navigation and it just says "Searching for GPS" the whole time so confirmed its not working.
i also found a issue with the swipe to type on the AOSP keyboard as soon as i tried to use swiping it force closed the keyboard, not a big issue just thought id mention it.
i noticed you've done a couple of updates as well whats the best way to update the rom just flash as usual using the file in op?

Just like with CM nightlies, just flash the latest update right over whatever you have.
In rare cases other changes will be needed, maintainers will usually let you know in these cases.
I'm investigating GPS on 10.1 on the windy - it's proving to be a bit of a headscratcher, although it has many of the hallmarks of the same problem we had with the modem on mint (Xperia T) months ago. Unfortunately, we can't use the same fix/workaround we used on mint.
pulser, may want to check the CM10.1 thread for my SMD debugging patch, might give some useful info - although what I need to do is get a build environment together for stock kernels so I can apply that patch to .370 for comparison.
i hate to sound like a noob but i am still learning lol is it safe to just flash the updates with cwm or is it best to do it with the flash tool?
it seems like gps has got a lot of people scratching their heads at the moment but im sure with so many looking into it there is sure to be a solution soon
Edit: its OK I went ahead and flashed the update using cwm and it worked, I'm to impatient to wait lol but at least I've learned something
Updated to 10th August build
Will you continue to tweak now that official nightlies are out?
