Anybody tried this ? http://dellstreakhacks.com/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices-dell-streak.html
I have tried it on mine and it doesn't seem to work - unless I am doing it incorrectly....
If you ready they are stating that it is running 2.2 (froyo)
Complete Bulls**t
The article is misleading. It does install, but it won't play flash on your browser. Or at least not on mine. So technically what the article states is true.
Yep I am boycotting that site from now on
It seems like the Dell Streak (aka Mini 5) has already ran Flash 10.1
I came across this link: h ttp://jaxov.com/2010/03/flash-10-1-preview-on-dell-mini-5-tablet/
As you can see it is running full 10.1 flash very smothly, just like my Nexus one. Not sure if it is running android 1.6 but I tend to think it is running 2.2 looking at the status bar.

I believe that the flash you see in that video was still in beta and so could run on any android versions. After it came out of beta you could only run it with froyo, maybe because of the tactics of adobe and google. Technically, I can't seem to find the reason why it would not run on other android versions, but that's just my thoughts.
Flash must also work on 2.1 because I already had a 2.1 build for my hd2 with flash working completely but I have no idea how they did it! Maby they had cooked it into the rom?!

The embedded froyo 2.2 that comes with qdl too, does that work perfectly fine and flawless with AT&T dell streak? or are there some things that just don't work on there?
I have an ATT Streak and used QDL with no issues. After playing with it for a while, I took the plunge and upgraded to DJ_Steve's Streakdroid 1.5.1
If you want the best from your device...I suggest you do the same, but make sure you do your homework....search is your friend!
Meh I havent rolled to the sreakdroid rom yet lol. Im still rocking out the stock. And I think its fairly smooth.

Used the stock software for a while and thought it was decent. Went to DJ Steve's 1.5.1 and realized how misguided I actually was. It turned what I thought was a worthless device on 1.6 and a decent device on 2.2 to absolute phone/tablet nirvana on DJ Steve's 1.5.1. I will never use AT&T stock software ever again for any purpose. It's shameful that they can spend such massive amounts of time with the resources they have and only come up with that while DJ Steve can work in his free time and come up with something that rapes AT&T development. Shameful.

certainly not trying to defend the Death Star here, but thought I might correct your thinking...
ATT doesnt make roms
Perhaps not, but they sure are damn good at delaying them, and then removing features (tether) and then making up for it with useless bloat that sometimes can't be removed without cooking up your own ROM anyway...
F U AT&T
I am just glad I took the plunge with the QDL method and didn't wait for the "official" from them. It has been pushed back to January now. I am using the "stock" 2.2 and not sure I am going to Steve's, even though I appreciate his efforts VERY much.
QDL is automated? Sounds good. Does your GPS work on AT&T? Specifically with navigation in Google Maps.
Use QDL, then update from 309 (which is what is on qdl?) to the 318 version, which for me was much faster than 309

I have updated to the posted 2.2 (318) rom and everything went perfectly. I originally updated with QDL first and then to 318 (QDL put on a strange build I could not locate in searches).
Everything is good (I don't like stage ui thought), Except. . . the bluetooth dial app does not "hear" anything or it is just plain broken. I can use voice dial with the phone alone, but if I connect the bluetooth and do the long press (Jawbone Icon) to get to voice dialing, it starts up and either crashes (force close) or it sits there "listening" until it times/errors out.
The error is LogService has stopped working process (com.oem)
I have seen posts on other forums from people with different phones having the same issues but NO fix or work around.
It seems to me it must be something in the hook between the bluetooth service and the voice dial app.
Maybe someone has found a fix or a working replacement for voice dial that works over bluetooth, assuming its the app and not the bluetooth services.
sad owner of Dell Streak Droid 1.6 now happy 2.2 thanks to XDA Dev
I was ready to return my streak back to bestbuy until a friend of my show me this site. he uses an HTC so he is very good at Droid, Im a newbie by the way. Just switch from iPhone 4 to Dell Streak and Im not coming back. I was tired of waiting for Dell update so we decided to try to get the 2.2 from UK and Oh! man, we were amaze how this new software works on my Streak. I love it! Thanks guy! now you have a new member. by the way Im a business owner of a pc place Im also a computer programmer and Technology guru so I'll be sending many people your way. Thanks again.
Glad you kept it! I was pretty happy with 1.6, but when at&t/Dell opted to "delay" the 2.2 update (I think it was more at&t than Dell), I said screw it, let's give it a try. Updated to v309, then got v318 on and it's like a completely different device!
just done flashing. not sure which path to go.. official Dell 2.2 or Dj 1.5.2.
Dell is easier but heard Dj is a cool one.
I'm on 309, haven't update to 318 yet.
What are the benefits really?
Bug fixes mainly.

I've heard some people have had battery problems, wireless problems etc with 318. What is FC?
first and foremost i would like to say that i LOVE the community yolu guys got going on here, i am a recent switcher from iphone, to the dell streak 5 and it was one of the best switches ive ever made, now i just have a few questions, i have figured out pretty much everything but the baseband thing i am wondering about, currently i am toronto canada and i have a rogers dell streaK 5 running on streakdroid 1.9, setcpu overclocked to 1.19ghz and 318 baseband, now i been reading around, now should i update to 351 as people were saying or should i stay bhere on 318? also i noticed when i got this phone i didnt check to see which version i already had, are the earlier versions of dj steves streak droid factory overclocked in the kernal? if so which version was it and what was it clocked at by default? i am just wondering if i am getting the full potential out of my phone, also which launcher is everyones favorite? also is there an app to see which apps are taking up how much CPU, and not just ram?
thank you so much in advance
-Davey
There are no stock overclocked roms as fast as I know. If you just got the phone and it was brand new, it likely had a baseband newer than 318.
Posted with StreakZilla, using XDA App.
First off davey, welcome aboard. To answer your questions...
1. If you're running Streakdroid 1.9, DJSteve recommends updating to a specific baseband. The link for this baseband he provides in the Streakdroid 1.9 thread.
2. I do not know if earlier versions of Streakdroid were overclocked. My best guess is that they were. My opinion is that you do not gain much by overclocking in any event. I have a Streak with a rooted 351. The phone runs a heck of a lot faster just by ditching Dell's Stage UI, the Dell Sync program, and a few other programs Dell put into the ROM.
3. I believe you are using the phone to its full potential.
4. Watchdog Lite can tell you what percentage of CPU cycles are taken up by a particular app.

Most appreciated with your response, and i thank you kindly for welcoming to the community, the baseband 351 everyone is saying is better on battery life and wifi connection, that sort of thing, so i appreciate you leading me twoard there, question though, the QDL utility or whatever it is that you use to flash the baseband, where might i obtain it? when i bought the phone , fastboot was already on there so luckily i dont have to install that myself, but im not sure where to get the utility for my computer so that i may update the baseband once in the fastboot mod, now to get rid of the dell stage UI, do i have to completly redo my rom or might i be able too just uninstall it somehow without having to revamp my stuff again, because i know if i nandroid the backup that it will still include the dell stage ui since i have that during the nandroid backup, again thank you so much for your help!, and thanks again for the tip on the app download i have been looking for such things! , also one more question, how might i also remove the dell sync program? is that also available through the actual OS?
Much love!
-David
It should be in the development forum, but I would recommend doing a search for it on the forums because I don't know exactly where it is. I personally have no reason to use it, because I don't use StreakDroid (rooted 351 with Stage UI and bloatware removed).
You can use a program like Titanium Backup or Root Explorer to remove the .apk files for the programs you want to remove.

Anyone had any luck getting this installed on their G tablet? i saw some posts for an EEE Transformer installation, but so far no luck. I am currently running CM 7.0.3 if that makes any difference.

How do I install order & chaos on my gtablet? I tried so many ways including the Transformer way, nothing seems to work. How did you manage to get it working?
Anyone share how they got this to work? I was able to install it with brilliant corners, but when i get to the sign in screen half the screen is green. Put beasty clemsyn froyo ultimate on and it will not let me install it.
thanks.

I bought it from the gameloft site and got the samsung i9000 version and it works flawlessly. They let you choose any version you want now. Im running mountain laurel with clemsyn oc kernel.
I bought it off the market so it doesn't look like i can go download the version i need.
Anyone know what i can do to make the right version show up in the market for me? i'm running Beasty/Clemsyn Ultimate Froyo Combo rom.
thanks

Buy it directly from the gameloft site and choose the samsung i9000 version. I can't guarantee it'll work on that rom but it does work perfectly on brilliant corners and mountain laurel roms.

Ok bought it again and downloaded the Samsung GT-i9000 Galaxy S version. it installed fine and the colors are right but the boxes and map is just black. It runs too slow to be playable though. I'll load up brilliant corners tomorrow and see if it is better.
thanks
The latest version runs just fine for me on mountain laurel. It should be the same for you if you don't put a different kernel in. Enjoy it, its great on this tablet.
I have it running on Vegan-Tab 7.1 GE. I had to change the build.prop to Optimus 2X settings first. Once the additional files were downloaded and the game came up the first time, I was able to change the build.prop back to the original and the game works just fine. Anytime they put out an update, I have to change back to the Optimus build.prop whlie it checks settings and files, but can switch back after that.
Well I searched the forums and havent really found anyone with this problem so here it goes. I bricked my dell streak seriously by tampering with the files in streakflash trying to get it back to 1.6. So I have the Besybuy insurance so I took it back and they sent it off and will be sending me a new streak. When they get my new streak in, it will more than likely be on 2.2. I hate 2.2 on this device and really want 1.6, therefore my question being, is it possible to downgrade a new streak thats 2.2 out of the box to 1.6?
don't do it, simply flash 2.3.3 REV 2.1 international - it's fast, stable and nice
awww but i want 1.6 lol
What don't you like about 2.2?
take a look to google

Thats how i bricked my fist streak lol. anf i dont like 2.2 task bar and i dont like stage widgets and i dont like the icons lol im srry but 2.2 just not for me. I get my new streak on monday im hoping against hope that it will be 1.6.
Don't count on it. It's been almost a year since the unlocked Streaks were upgraded to 2.2. You can (and should) change the launcher from Stage UI to something like Go Launcher, where you can skin the icons. That should eliminate two of your concerns. The taskbar is however, a foolish pipe dream, especially when you lose far more by doing the downgrade than you would staying with what you have and changing the launcher. Think about it.
One more thing. That 2.2.2 taskbar that you're so keen to complain about is the default taskbar that is in virtually every Android phone on the planet. They may have some subtle tweaks such as color in a HTC device, or annoyances like having the carrier name pop up and obscuring the icons every thirty seconds thanks to executive meddling (phones from AT&T have that annoyance). Despite those small changes, functionally every taskbar is identical. Besides, Dell ditched their taskbar modifications for a reason in doing the upgrade, and it's simply that the newer versions of Android did what the 1.6 taskbar did, without requiring extensive modification.
Thats why I like 1.6 on dell streak so much because there's nothing else like it out there. I am aware that every 2.2 is virtually the same on every device that's one reason why dell streak's 1.6 was something special to me because of its uniqueness. Then you might say well why did you upgrade in the first place lol ( I guess I just wanted to have the latest thing i dunno). But I got tired of 2.2 fast and just want the old FW back. But I guess that's just the price I pay for upgrading haha and thanks guys for all your feedback!
We believe it to be special. Problem was that Dell released the Streak with ancient software compared to the standard (1.6 vs. 2.1), didn't do any marketing on it and expected it to sell like one of their PCs.
As to the bar, I never had it on my device as I had 2.2.2, 347 out of the box. But while Dell came up with a nifty solution to 1.6's shortcomings, their energy would have been better spent in putting a more current ROM on the device for release. Because of their choices the Streak has a permanent aura of being old and slow to catch up to those in the know, and a permanent aura of obscurity to those who don't.
Got my new dell streak today from best buy (using my best buy insurance) and it came with 1.6 installed ....Only thing since gmail and facebook have cracked down on 3rd parties is it possible to use the email and facebook widgets from dell 1.6?
Anyone know how to get the dell facebook widget working on 1.6?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Unfortunately I don't think you can get the widgets working in 1.6. Those widgets are for 2.1 and up. You'll have to use the browser for both.
Greetings and Happy New Year to ALL! I have been trying to find the newest DSC ROM 2.2 but the links are dead. Same for the Simple Streak 1.3... Anyone know where I can find these links live or any new 2013 DS5 ROMS in production at all? I know the SAMSUNG Galaxy phones and bleah bleah bleah but I love my DS5... Any thoughts? Thank you.
My thought is that you tried getting DSC while the Internet was acting wonky. Try it again because the links do work, if a bit slow. Any and all Froyo ROMs like SimpleStreak will not be maintained and are essentially obsolete with the release of Gingerbread.
Still lookin'....

I just tried this Simple Streak 1.3 link (The only one I could find): http://rom.spidla.info/Dell Streak 5/Simple Streak/SimpleStreak_13_TESTING5.zip and it is still down. Do you know of another that works? Thanks.
I don't know of one, and given that a majority of Streak users are using a flavor of Gingerbread, I won't be looking either.
Install DSC or a CM7 ROM and don't bother with the Froyo ROMs.
