ok folks all im going to say is check out the image attached
and no its not a joke i do actualyl have this running on my streak. stock android 2.2 froyo - using dells eclair kernel source, as you can see its not usable (no wifi/bt/phone etc which we expected). working on gettign at least 3g going now.
great to see evidence this thing is moving if we wait on dell it wont happen for ages
but is 2.2 froyo based on the same kernnell as 2.1?
not really but dells kernel is a mash up or alot of differnet kernels including froyos

its a different kernel. there is 2.1 eclair and the new froyo 2.2. Dell made their own 2.1 Eclair development platform and drivers and some additions to the kernel to support the hardware. Most other company's use the android Eclipse developer platform.
some great enhancements in the 2.2 kernel is the support for the flash-light (the leds on the back, not this not-wanted screen lighters) , a speedboost of nearly 10% in some cases and a new support library for social networking.
some info on new stuff added http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html
edit: did i allmost forget the flash 10.1 support.
more edit: 2.1 official seems to come out in a few weeks up till december. 2.2 scheduled for februari
yup add a boot time of about 10 seconds too and its is SILLY fast running, smooth as silk
awesome!
Now what can we do to help? also is it just you work on this or others pitching in?
and if you don't mind, can you write up a guide or is it similar to the other devices of how to build AOSP?
I'm trying to learn but dont have much programming and dev background so its like starting from scratch!

Great work. Can't wait until a full release available. All of the efforts are appreciated.
just droped linpack onto this built, scored 34
How about framerate limit removal? I saw a video where removing it would dramatically improve input response time.

repeating the same message over and over isnt going to help. its NOT a simple thing to sort out framerate and since ive still yet to find any info on how they managed it on the evo (tech info not simple videos) i dont even know where to start

Indeed, there are bigger things to worry about, like all the sensors, drivers, etc. I personally find the framerate quite acceptable at 30fps, only thing it really hurts is benchmarks... is the actual screen designed to refresh at 60Hz anyways? I can run GlxGears at 1000fps, in that regard my computer is uncapped, its obviously impossible for me to view it that way... another mention of this will get someone reported.

For anyone who doesn't want to spend 10 minutes searching.
There's a good reason that forcing novice users to search for 10minutes is a good thing and posting direct links isn't
The 2.2 isn't ready for mass consumption yet;
and if a whole load of people install it who don't really know what they're doing, then everyone involved is going to spend less time getting 2.2 working and more time getting those novices streaks back to working order.

Oh my God...
Steve ur the best!
ok someone else can do vid i cant find charger for cam
sloww
is just me, or it takes forever to download?
probly getting hammered lol
WOW...This ROM is amazing !!! Great job Stephen...
Even with bugs I keep it ! The UI is wonderful
Now Ive got a 5" Iphone UI with Android...Welcome to paradise...
As alway, great job Steve, is an amazing fast rom, but i just couldn't get over the fact that i am using a iphone...lol. I am sure this rom is going to be great but its just not for me. Back me 146 i go...
Thanks steve, im downloading now...Any screen shots at all? In terms of theme development is it classed as a miui rom?
yep its classes as miui its based off nexusone miui but with enough framework changes to let things work
Awesome! Just found your post on the other thread with a link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0STPWGMyAE&feature=youtube_gdata
So I take it, its stable enough to tweak the framework-res? Is there a way to loose the Chinese? As the baseband shows as error... can I flash via clockworkmod straight from your 1.4.6?
baseband error only shows if your not using the streakdroid updated amss file. and you can have a good at removing more Chinese - this ports only been workedo n for about 2 days (started screwing with it thursdayish)

neat. now lets get steve to make a streaksense rom. i like that we are making alternate ui roms, means someday we will have htc sense.
I would love the toggle options on the drag down bar and folders, but I'm also agaist the iPhone UI. Still, very cool
Wow I'm well impressed! I dread to think what trauma it mustve caused altering this to work on streak!
Iphone comments... I had an iphone & loved how it worked, speed, ease of use and the UI but I don't like apple. The iphone UI is very reliable and strong so alot of people like it but apple ruin it by not playing ball! Miui is completely different... looks similar but we all know that looks only get you so far
I flashed from 1.4.6 (don't forget to factory reset) you can flash from 1.2+ (as long as it has steves new baseband)
*LEDs stay permanently on?
*Chinese has gone on most settings, just a few background bits.
*superfast and loads of settings!
*so far I can't root

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!

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?
I think source was released for the i9000's (not sure) 2.3.3 and if that is the case, I thought we'd start seeing work on 2.3.3 kernals with mods like BLN etc brought to the Vibrant.
Are some required ingredients still missing to do that kind of work, are we still waiting on something to get released before that work starts, or maybe the roms have work required before they'll start on the kernal. I'm not impatiently asking for the work to be done at all, I'm curious if the pieces are available to devs yet so that they can work on it.
Thanks for any input if you know what's going on. If you don't know then, well, go ahead an do what you do best.
From what I've been hearing from ttabbal, it seems that Samsung changed the way to gpu loads up by using the bootloader.
What this means is that, without a vibrant gb specific bootloader update (not and sbl.bin, but a boot.bin), then we will only have software rendering in everything graphical, and now viewable recovery screen.
And also, it's kernel, not kernal.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Very informative amigo, thanks. So the rom will have those gpu issues and now a lot of the graphics stuff makes sense. It's funn that using 2.3 is in many? ways a step back in optimization right now instead of the step forward we hoped for like the nexus S #wishfulthinking
I still wonder if we have the capability yet to implement BLN, I enjoy having that and I guess CM7 has kernEls with something comparable so I could always go that route and specially since it sounds like CM7 has been smoothed out a lot.
I'm actually running CM7 right now and it's pretty smooth. I don't think I'll be going back to 2.2 on this phone unless something huge is offered.

Like many people I have to have my phone as a daily driver. I love the MIUI but its time to put the experimenting to the side and get back to 100% functional. I was wondering if someone could debloat and debing the latest offical Froyo ED05. Also no one has ever said whether or not there is anything good about the kernal included with it. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could do this. I'm sure others would to. I will continue though to mess with the CM7 / Miui stuff but I just need a fallback rom till they are 100% stable and Functional.

I was actually working on something like it, but I kinda stopped once JT's Vanilla Gingerbread ROM came out. So far, I got the ED05 base deodexed/debinged/zipaligned but I have encountered some issues like the camera and voice search force closing due to some compression I added to the APKs, which I can fix. It's a simple ROM that doesnt have a lot of mods and such since it is my first time making a ROM. Not sure if I should keep working on it or not because I only did it 'cause I was bored, but now I'm lazy

I'm sure numerous people would appreciate it. I know I would. Really all I want is a stripped down rom with basically nothing in it. I think there are enough launchers, apps, and themes out there that we could use to customize the ED05 release to how we want and be able keep out functionality until a rock solid CM7 /Miui is released. If you decide to give up on what you have started please feel free to send me what you have so I may proceed on.

I probably might release something tonight or tomorrow. Just gotta back up my phone so I can test it out, I think I fixed whatever I broke. and as for the script, I had to kang it too, but after looking at it for a while it doesnt seem that hard to make one.
Also regarding kernels, there are no custom kernels yet, so no Voodoo lagfix, color, or sound and adding that is way out of my league.
That would be Great! As far as the kernal goes we may be able to get away with OTB 1.6 for a while
There has been rumor that ED06 will be released. My phone, brothers, girlfriend all still have missed calls, texts on ED05 stock.
Just mentioning this because if ED06 gets released then there will request for a debinged/debloated.

What isn't 100% functional in MIUI and CM7 at this point? MIUI is on both the fascinates in my house, and everything has been fine for me?
Well, it looks like my Dropbox account is gone. Can't log on to it or anything...great. As a result, I'll attach some screenshots of what I got so far. It's a simple debinged/deodexed ROM (mainly because I'm new at this, if someone wants to theme it/mod it later on feel free) with busybox added and it's prerooted. Contains Launcher2 from SuperClean and debinged ED01 browser, AOSP Music and Car Cradle, Spare Parts and Google Maps added. I'll upload it later so some people can try it before I fully release it.
Edit: also has latest market.

At this point CM7 and MIUI is still lacking on the sensors being spot on (ex: tilt sensors) wanna know what I mean go install aTilt Labyrinth. You will see what I mean. Also you have the phantom ring and low call volumes. JT has already stated that he had no intention on fixing the call volume untill there was a gingerbread source. Some other small issues but neways.

Also, note this ROM will flash the ED05 stock kernel, after you flash it you can install OTB or PB&J but I'm not sure if OTB or PB&J will work or not.

ED05 Supposedly fixes the missed call problem.
I am constantly playing with and 'tweakin' my Streak and have put together what I think is a good, lite, fast, and stable rom. I made this for my own use and decided to share it with the rest of you.
I started with 354 then removed all apps that could be downloaded from the market. I also removed alot of stuff that I didn't think was necessary (such as all the verification*.apk's, don't even know what they are). There are only 17 apps in the drawer on a fresh install! I added DJ Steve's kernel and some memory tweaks from using the HTC Kitchen. VTL Launcher ADW is the included launcher as well as Swype for the keyboard. There are also some customization provided by UOT Kitchen as well as a modified Settings.apk that I got from somewhere on here. I'd love to thank whoever made it, but I have lost track so if it's your's---thank you!
I'm getting Quadrant scores in the 1400's and battery life seems pretty decent. I gave up on Quadrant scores. My best guess would be low 800's for this version. I have found through trial and error that higher Quadrant scores mean less stability, and honestly I can't tell the difference in real world performance between an 800 QS and a 1400 QS. I can't tell you exact battery life because I haven't hardly put this thing down since I installed this.
I am not an expert by no means and have only gotten these results from tinkering and trial and error. I think this is good, but am open to suggestions for improving it.
I started off by installing stock 354 using stock recovery, then installed this using Streakmod recovery and did a Factory Reset (Dell's, not Streakmod's). I have had no issues so far.
I have seen this posted before and liked it so I'm going to use it here: If you find a bug, you get to keep it. If this breaks your Streak, you get to keep the pieces. Obviously installing a custom rom breaks your warranty, and I am not responsible for whatever happens if you install mine.
Thanks to everyone whose ideas I stole/used/borrowed/whatever. Without the true experts on this board, I wouldn't have had anything to tinker with.
What works: Everything I can think of
What doesn't work: Waiting for you to tell me. The time in the status bar is black and the status bar is blackish...makes it hard to see. I don't know why and haven't yet figured out how to fix this. If someone has a link to a good tutorial and I can make it work, I'll be happy to resolve it!
So without further ado, I present Streakin' 354v1 354 v1.1:
http://www.multiupload.com/1MVM3O34AN v1.1 *newest*
http://www.multiupload.com/BHI4Y4XD69 I'm leaving this link for those that prefer v1.
I do intend on maintaining this rom and tweakin' it more based on recommendation, more stuff that I learn, etc. I do have a full time job, so even though I want to answer questions immediately, it's not always practical. If it takes me a while to respond, I apologize in advance.
Edit 09/24/11 - If you prefer landscape mode, simply flash the attached file below in recovery. Be sure to wipe cache and dalvik-flash after flashing. After doing this it took 5-6 minutes for my phone to boot, but it did....eventually. You may want to backup first! I also added a portrait mode file in case you decide you don't like landscape after all. Enjoy.
Edit 09/25/11 - It was pointed out to me that this ROM does not have a init.d folder. I forgot to add it, although the support to run scripts in init.d is there. Until the next version comes out, using Root Explorer, or similar, create a folder named init.d in /system/etc/ and set the permissions to rwx,r_x,r_x. That should be all you need. Thanks.

Get a different launcher ................turn off screen rotation in the android system settings............................................................................................................................................................
in the settings.apk, are there any theme changes? or are they performance tweaks?
and what files are you using with dj steve's kernel that keep your wifi working?
Thanks in advance.
I'll give it a try - and thank you for your efforts in advance

It's just a themed change....colored icons and such for settings.apk.
As far as the files, I'm not at my computer (I'm at work), so I'll have to get back to you on this.

I didn't like VTL Launcher either, until I went into the settings and turned the left and right dockbars off. Now it's not much different than ADW and rightfully so, since it's based off of it.
7h 15 min running the rom
The rom running well
I have changed the launcher to go launcher after loading the rom running fine
battery life--15% in 7h 15 min

Try "orientation control" by "coin soft" to lock your streak in whatever orientation you want. I've got it on my streakdroid and it works fine
Just an observation here. You might want to contemplate recreating this ROM using 360 as a base instead of 354 due to the more complete language support in the former compared to the latter.

I had contemplated using that rom as my base, but noticed everyone had better battery life with 354. 360 was listed as being an "update" 351, which gave me horrible battery life. If someone can tell me different as far as battery, I don't think it would be difficult to redo this based on one of the others (360 or maybe 364?)
Grateful your work!
Grateful your work! I am pleased that contains the settings for Japanese.
Parts of the screen is also very beautiful!
I will continue to use this ROM for a while.

I see no reason why the portrait mode file located here wouldn't work:

Just choose the one for 354.
OK, I woke up to find my phone stuck on the Dell logo. I had plugged it in before going to sleep. A battery pull later and all seems well. Anyone want to tell me how to start troubleshooting this?

OK, I removed DJ Steve's kernel and replaced some files that were changed to accomodate it. My quadrant scores are now in the 800's and I'll report back with the 'feel' of the device and stability over the next day or so. I love seeing high scores, however must admit I've never really noticed a difference in day to day use with the higher scores. I will take stability over high benchmark scores, but will take noticeable speed increase over a little stability if that makes sense.
Quadrant is too overrated as a benchmark. Stick to a reliable & stable build

I think I believe you...so far (about 3 hours or so) and I can't tell the difference in performance. Granted I don't use 3D games and such...
I added your rom to the big Wiki Rom List
if something is off for your rom feel free to tell me, or change it directly
