Here is the NVFlash package I use to restore mine tto stock. I did not create this and am only redistributing it so others may use it. It is not a flashable zip. Extract to your PC ddesktop and run like any other NVFlash. I am not responsible for what you do to your device. Again I did not create this.

Be it you feel included or excluded by my comment(s), I recognize "contributors" such as Manii, Givven, DJ etc. but do mind "2 cent-ers"... I want to help make results notjust comment about others efforts or paradie around like they were my own or as if ive made significant contributions; just as many here my feel my reply/comment was worthy of deletion as how I feel about his reply...
On a more on topic note ive spent all night configuring my PC with eclipse 3.7 & the 3.2hc &ics adts to begin ventues into Droid programming...
Its my understanding that ICS is an attept to somewhat unify 2.2fyro thru 3.2hc into one world... Its also my understanding that if ICS is setup correctly an HC driver -such as modem or camera- can be foreward compatable with ICS...
Im grateful for my own rant because now we are finding that there may or may not be a safe reversion back to HC from ICS -apparently previously unknown by many others here too- which for me is great news..!
Im going to tinker with eclipse & pretend to know what im doing with DS7ICS ROM in an emulator...

Modem is an easier fix but camera everyone is having difficulty with because Google changed the way the camera is accessed through Android.
There is a long a difficult route to get back to HC from ICS, you need to first flash back to stock 2.2, than upgrade from there. Also posted above was a link to a stock HC image.
ICS B4 is the first custom ROM that I've flashed so I'm not sure what happens with other ROMs. If P23.img contains one's service tag, etc. info, what happened to that info with ICS B4 and/or other ROMs as it doesn't show in "About tablet"? The HC info was replaced with ICS B4 info. Is that info still there and would it be shown again if I "somehow" returned to stock HC?
I dont intend to flash to ics yet til I figure out playing on it in a simulation first.... Im comfortable with HC as an OS but my interest lays in the programming... Honestly Dell has rarely present a product that I didnt like or for that matter was expandable... The only reason I got tje Dell was because its powerful nvidia chipset & the 3/4g modem & the fact it is so highly expandable... Unfortunatly its my texting device so I cant loose that one feature but im willing to help figure it out...
Am I on the right track with eclipse & the APT sets..?
Do I just load up a fyro, hc, or ics ROM in the emulator & tinker from there..?
Im dying to wipe off kongergate from the hc ROM lol
Edit: Should I get nVidia Tegra Android Developer Pack 1.0r7 or the Tegra Android Toolkit 1.0r5..? Not sure where to start for us DS7 newbie programmers...
This is an obvious download for anyone interested in development: Tegra Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) OS Image for Tegra2 Developer Kit (Ventana)

I'm no developer but I believe drivers, ROMs, and such are developed via a Linux install. I have done some tinkering with this sort of thing.
As for removing apps that can be easily done using Titanium Backup. The free version on the market can do this. I removed all Dell Stage apps from mine without causing any problems.
I was just looking at the titanium & other backup apps in the market/play store; I want to back up all my SMS/mms/texts first... I was about 2clicks away from loading up the nVidia ics ROM when I realized I wanted some of my texts...
Problem is NONE of the backup apps are downloadable to the streak7 on hc3.2...
Any work arounds or ways to directly grab the info from the phone..? I dont believe ive ever rooted this device but do have the hcus4g ROM installed, am I rooted..?
On a more on topic note: the above mentioned downloads from nVidia include a great slew of apps including a UNIX/LINUX line command editor -which im not familiar w/ at all- and eclipse 3.7.1 & the ADT 18 plugin set; I basically come with every downloadable app you need in 3 downloadpackages... I recommend to sub-folder each exe install of the "nvpack" install folder; if your already running eclipse it wont cross yourinstalls...

Everything on Nvidia's developer website is mainly for creating apps that are optimized for Tegra devices, not for ROM's.
posting the same update I put on TR.com
So basically here is what B4.5 is going to be, as long as I get it to boot.
Currently a lot of our lib's are from the HC build we have. Some of the libs have dates with 2008-2010 on them. I grabbed replacement libs out of the Ventana ICS build found here Tegra Resources | NVIDIA Developer Zone (dates Jan 2011-2012 on libs) and replaced them with the ones we have in our B4 build, after matching older ones to the new ones using some of my diff tools. Now I need to go back and reset permissions on everything and reflash it.
What is interesting is that with our boot.img, I am able to flash the Ventana Dev system.img build to our device, it boots, and works! However, touchscreen calibration is off...WAY OFF! But this is great news. IF this works, according to plan, we might see improved performance.

Thats what I was going to tinker w/ last night; at the end of the nVidia ICS OS ROM install it asks if I want to load the ROM to my device -fastboot mode ready try @ your own risk- which I was going to do but yeilded until I can backup some of my texts....
My approach to this was going to work with what I got which is the hc32us4gupdated & this icsnVidia rom... Can roms only be modified on a LINUX line command level or is the ics enviroment manageable from a GUI interface..? Im familiar with some c++, html, & some flash... Ive spent over 20hrs over the last 3 days trying to hop into this w/o much guidance or even direction aside from what a google search can return...
ROM's can be modified easily.
Grab the system.img and mount it, assign permissions to allow modifaction, change things, reset permissions to the previous settings, unmount system.img
You are more than welcome to try things. Just remember that HC boot.img is different that ICS.

I intended to try & work backwards, only in an attept to learn more... Im going to try & start w/ the nvidia ics ROM & figure in only the needed elements as far as hardware drivers are concerned from hc... I know someone mentioned google changed the way driver is interpeted now in ics from hc... some my intent is to figure thebackwards compatibility of the hc driver kernels apks etc in the ics atmosphere/ROM... Remember im new to all this; where do I find ROM editors..?
ooops?
my apologies if my "server" questions led to the mods closing the "server" thread.
giveen.... can you post here the status of the server? is that needed before a potential beta4.5 build?
I would like to formerly request that camera and usb-host be on the list of to do's for a new build. as i understand.... kernel development was the last reported focus for an updated build. ics and usb host seem to offer a very wide variety of possibilities for my plans of ds7 as head unit through a dell dock mounted in the center of my dash.
i'm a eager tester of anything new... hope i haven't put a scarlet letter on my left cheek due to that "server" thread getting closed

I'm still waiting to hear from Steve about how much donations he got to cover the server expenses. No its not needed for B4.5my apologies if my "server" questions led to the mods closing the "server" thread.

B4.5 will be my replacing libs from the ventana ics dev build with our to see any potential gains. If there isn't any, than there will not be a B4.5
Camera is on the list to be worked on. USB Host is not possible due to device and kernel limitations. Blame Dell for that.

TO DO
Camera

8So I've made a little bit of progress.
Working:
Wifi (new)
Internal and external sd cards (new)
Touchscreen
Broken:
Bluetooth
3G? (Not sure since I have a wifi only streak, but I am almost positive it is)
Locking/sleeping (Still causes the device to reboot)
Screen rotation
Things to-do (In order of priority):
1. Fix reboots
2. Fix bluetooth
3. Fix screen rotation
4. Anything else I find
Still not ready to send out test builds because of the reboots. Once I get those squared away I will probably start working with Giveen and Manii on a release ready alpha build.5
I actually have made some huge progress on the camera HAL. For the longest time we got "cannot connect to camera" and in the logcat I would see "cannot locate camera HAL" but I am no longer seeing this as I work toward camera working.
I actually get camera app up and running but just see a black screen.
