[Q] Random Dell Streak 7 Questions that i can't seem to find answers too.

So, i have been reading thread after thread...AFTER thread on here and tabletroms.. and a few other choice places.. I just got my Streak 7. I have learned to root it, CMW, NVFLASH, etc.. i'm good on all these accounts.
i updated my streak (t-mobile 4g) to newest dell rom and liked it.. it fixed the dock speaker issue (no sound out of speakers when docked.) i rooted it but realized the kernel wouldn't allow overclocking (which i want to do for my tablet purpose)
So i switched over to Honeystreak r8 which is working perfect.. EXCEPT the dock issue is back.. docking the tablet (official v.2 dock) regardless of what you choose, shuts off internal speakers. So.. what am asking here is..Is there a rom that allows OCing.. and sound out of speakers while docked? Where can i find just a kernel i can flash with CWM on stock rom that allows overclocking (honeycomb)
second question, build.prop. i have looked EVERYWHERE and no one has mentioned this.. The marketplace (play) is not complete. Many apps are "not allowed" on this tablet. I know the "fix" of editing your build.prop with a proper/different product and fingerprint but whats a good one? I would like to install Hulu and a few other things WITHOUT sideloading. I can;t be the first person to ask this.. but i have searched all forms of combo words to get an answer and have not found one.
Last question. I read that the offical dock supports USB Host, i guess through the USB plug on the back... yet official rom does not support this.. (right?) So.. How do i plug a hub into it (it's a female Mini-USB NOT Micro) and also WHAT rom/kernel/whatever supports it..
Thank you..

The dock issue was fixed with stock rom 514, and HS R8 is based off of 507.
You would need to use 514 to get the fix, it might be possible to hack those two together and get both, but it hasnt been done yet. Also DJ_steve has no plans on HS as he's been working on ICS.
If you're unsure about rom versions, see Dell Streak 7 Official roms - xda wiki and
Dell Update process for an explaniation on the version strings.
Depends on the app, best thing to do is find out why it's not compatable in the first place. Some apps (like hulu i think?, or was it netflix?) use whitelists, which means only those devices can use it.
You could use a popular device like the transformer or xoom, or a similar device like the Gtab 7 which has similar specs (sorta).
The stock kernel doesnt support much in the way of usb-hosting. The HS kernel might, but also I believe you must provide power yourself, the port doesnt offer much power at all or so I hear. I'll have to get back to you on that in a few weeks.

How bout a kernel.. is there a place or is there a download of just an OCed/ OC capable kernel for the stock-rooted rom? That would solve one of my major dock issues. But i bought this device to make it a nice little portable arcade/emulator box and everything is great but i need to OC the thing to make some emulators really run nice. and i use the dock to.. well.. hold it up and charge it.
Also, do you know where i can find galaxy tab 7 build.prop examples?

There's no other kernels besides the HS one, (if you dont count the ICS one).
You cant just install it over 514, HS is partitioned differently.

[CM10.1] Does it support car dock?

Does CM10.1 HashofCode unofficial targa build support car dock?
I plugged it into my Car Nav Doc (worked fine for ICS official build) and nothing happens.
I tried downloading a car dock app and plugged it back into the dock, with auto-launch turned on if docked, and got "this feature is not supported".

Oops, there's an earlier thread on this: Apparently it's confirmed that Dock Mode was NOT in the codebase.

The only rom I could ever find that had the docs working was eclipse which doesn't appear to be coming out for 4.2.2
I too bought this phone for the docks. I use them all daily. I even use the lapdock for business meetings. Thank God for Safestrap...

Motorola Dock

Anyone tried Hashcode's Kexec rom with the Motorola Dock? I can't get audio out from the line out and carmode to launch automatically.

The dock bug has been around for a while now. I'm not sure if it's going to get fixed. But, it's possible it may get addressed in Hash's upcoming reworked kernel.

Yep - I use both the home dock (makes a great alarm clock when used with the Bedside app) and car dock. The failure to auto launch car mode (or either dock mode for that matter) and the lack of audio out via the special USB cable are pretty much the only things keeping me from using CM10.1 as my daily. Audio out has never worked but dock detection did work in earlier versions. I'm not sure when it quit working but I do miss it greatly.

I wonder what causes the dockmode in Gingerbread? I tried moving APKs with the word dock over to CM 10.1 but that didn't help.

CM10.1 VJ Bluetooth dock not found

Hi,
I recently flashed CM10.1 VJ onto my N1 and have just found out that it does not seem to detect the dock anymore. It still charges but does not find it via bluetooth or even pair when sitting on the dock.
has anyone encountered this issue?

[Q] How to get HDMI-out functioning? Atrix HD

I got an adapter for the HDMI outlet. When I use it to connect the phone to tv or monitor, the big screen says no signal.
When attached, the phone does rotate the home screen, which it does not do normally, so I think that the adapter is working.
I have Cyanogenmod android 4.4.4. There are no settings for hdmi, no Overscan like stock OS (there is only Expanded Desktop, whatever that is).
Is there some setting I have overlooked? Is there something else I should do to get the signal out to the monitor? Is my adapter not working?
Thanks

It works for me using CarbonROM 08/04 build using an HDMI to micro HDMI adapter. Also there aren't any settings because I think only atrix HD and maybe a couple others have an HDMI out port. Did you get a Motorola factory micro HDMI to HDMI cable? Or did you buy an adapter like mine?

I have the small adapter, no cord.

I bought an adapter from ebay, the cheapest i could find, and it works no problem with one of my hdmi cable, i have a longer one that stays with no signal, test a different cable. :good:

When you plug the cable and adapter into the phone, does the monitor just blink on and show the phone screen?
Also, does the phone's home screen only rotate after being plugged into the monitor? (like mine does)
My cables to the tv and monitor definitely work. The adapter might not, but its affecting the home screen rotation makes me think it does work; then maybe Cyanogenmod or Android 4.4.4 doesn't work.

The adapter should be working based off of what you described. I'm sitting on the 20140102 revision of 4.3.1 and I see the same thing on my device. Only difference is that I do get a signal. No HDMI option in any menu present. Expanded Desktop is full screen mode and should be used with a BT mouse or Pie. I don't believe there is anything you have overlooked, but then again I have yet to really start playing with KK on my daily device (currently running stable version on DX and alpha version on A4G)

Thanks for the inputs.
Whoop, I see I actually have Android 4.4.2 if that matters.
I have Cyanogenmod 11.0-20140109
I would like to hear if anyone uses either of these and hdmi.

I only have lap dock to connect to but I also get no signal blinking screen on all ROMs I've tried except for stock based I even tried Dr orange's suggested 8/4 carbon build

I'm a little late on this but since I just tested this today: This may be a CM or KK thing as you say. I had the same symptoms you reported when testing with AHD on CM11 1/1/15 msm8960 jbbl nightly but with the same TV setup and cables stock JB phone system worked great with HDMI. More detail From this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57975553&postcount=676 which I posted put up before discovering this thread.(text pasted below)
"I got a Micro HDMI male to HDMI female adapter and had a chance to test in the 1/1/15 MSM8960 JBBL nightly . It did not work although the phone and TV were clearly talking through the cable when connected:
- Phone media sound mutes.
- Phone goes into forced landscape mode for all screens including desktop regardless of native and theme based rotation settings.
- TV screen input type displays HDMI for a few seconds before fading (an indication that TV has seen an HDMI device).
- When cable is disconnected a flash of colored squares on the TV indicates a change of state at the TV, the phone goes back to portrait mode and resumes playing sound.
From what I've read this may still be a limitation of CM but there is also a lesser possibility that this is due to limitations of the TV. The only reports of successful HDMI connections I've seen for the Atrix HD are in stock but I did not have long enough access to the test rig to try stock and eliminate TV and cabling as potential issues. Will do that next chance I get.
[EDIT] Tested in stock on the same gear and HDMI worked great. Phone went into landscape as described above and the TV picked up the image of the desktop fine with minimal cropping of the side edges - possibly correctable at the TV. Media audio plays to TV through HDMI connection with no addition configuration required at TV or phone. Not sure what (if anything) is missing from CM in regards to to fully negotiating the connection and sending the video/audio."

Still chasing functional HDMI out in CM. From my recent post of testing results at the AHD CM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58469229&postcount=683:
HDMI-Micro out fail
HDMI-mico out still Not Working in anything but stock JB. CM and other KK builds not working including the following:
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/1/15 nighlty in ART.
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/19/15 nighlty in Dalvik (converted to Dalvik from ART)
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/25/15 nighlty in Dalvik having never been in ART
- Clean flash of Validus msm8960 jbbl Lollipop (no gapps)
- Clean flash of CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/19/15 nighlty in Dalvik (no gapps)
- CM11 msm8960 jbbl 1/25/15 nighlty in Dalvik having never been in ART (restored)
In all of the cases listed above when HDMI cable was connected between phone and TV; Phone screen goes to landscape, media stream muted at phone speaker, and TV flashes as if about to receive signal but no video or audio on TV.
I cant think of a reason why the TV would be able to receive properly from stock JB but not any of the other builds on the same device. In the interest of thoroughness I have to test on a different TV. Beyond that I don’t know.
