THX

 

[binarybishop]

Not yet, because a recovery image hasent be successfully dumped to compile a CWM recovery. One that is done Koushik Dutta will add it to the supported device list.

I am working on that now.

Be patient everyone

Tried playing with it tonight. Found out that Dell™ has set this beast up a little different than conventional devices that you can dump from. I should have something by Sunday at the latest, but I will keep you guys posted. Thanks for the support. As for hellzya, I will work on some kernel tweaks as well, but not until I get this CWM recovery first. Cant afford to brick this just yet. Once I have this done, I will probably push a kernel before I push a rom, cause if I can get the battery drain down, I can convince other devs to buy this device and play with it.

I tried to look over how the streak's file system is built and it seems it does not use the standard mtd setup like most android devices which would allow for a quick recovery partition download...

That was my assessment too. I need to figure out an alternative to the conventional mtd dump. If you guys figure it out before I get off work, please post it and I will work on it tonight.

Hey. If you go into ROM manager and select flash recovery two devices come up. the Advent Vega and the Elocity A7 both of which are Tegra 2. Would one of these work? I'm assuming not but figure maybe because their HW is similar maybe one of those recoveries would work. I always thought ROM manager would only show compatible recoveries as options.

 

[binarybishop]

Its quite possible, but I aint got the balls to test it out, lmao. But if anyone feels froggy, have at it and post results.

hmm well looking at the specs of each, the Vega has the same cpu I believe while the A7 has the 1.2. and overall besides the screen size differences the S7 is more like the Vega than the A7.. ok.. What's the worst that can happen if I try to flash it? I just wont be able to recover in case something happens? It might just give me an error if it tries to flash and fails...
hmmm I'm debating... should I try?

 

[graffixnyc]

well I just tried flashing the one for the A7, didn't work but I also didn't lose stock recovery and everything is ok.. Going to try the other now but think it will be the same

tried the other.. same results.. oh well at least I gave it a shot..

 

[binarybishop]

I figued they wouldn't work, but it was a possibility.

Yeah, ClockWork seems to be pretty much inoperable. It will install and execute but that's about it.

It will work! Patience is a virtue!
