Just want to thank everyone on this forum for helping me get 2.2 on my Streak. I must say this build is awesome and well worth the week long headache and I will not be going to the official Dell Release. I cant believe the difference it made on my Streak. I did donate $20 to to the DJ_Steve fund for all his hard work and hope he gets enough donations to keep going. Thanks again to all .

After spending a huge amount of time trying to get a working android to boot on the athena I am thinking that maybe if enough people are interested in donating we can get some devs interested in helping us.
Initially I would like to get android 2.0 to work, my thinking is to firstly get people to commit to donate to getting android to boot.
The other option is to get enough together to buy a 2nd hand athena to donate to a dev to work on.
Please post here if you wish to donate to the project and how much you are willing to pledge.
Devs: PM me for details of the relevant git etc if you are interested in this.
Donation list:
Avengerpenguin £20
UniversalCitizen £20
Definitely!
Hey I just made another donation - as drewid - and I am excited that you are talking about this and working on it. Thank you!
I saw your twitter post a little while back and was wondering if you had finally got a working build tested after losing your adapter? I am so psyched for Android but I know it will be a while still.
I am going back to the drawing board this evening to test more WM ROMS since my current one and the last 4 before it have not seemed stable. I feel like I am nearing the end of my patience for Windows Mobile at this point, but I like the device. I have to get it stable and with enough features to keep on using it.
If you don't mind me asking, do you still like WM? If you had to recommend a best ROM to use on my 7501 which one would YOU recommend? I just want reasonable speed and good web browsing, stability. I can add SPB Mobile shell again for pizazz since I bought it a while back but it doesn't always seem stable on recent ROMS.
Thank you again for working so hard on this and all your ROMS work! I wish I knew development so I could help out more.

Ive got a new adaptor and feel that I am getting close to compiling a working 2.6.31 kernel for the athena, but am trying to learn linux at the same time, making my progress slow.
Yes I still like windows mobile, its just that with lennie now cooking as well I decided to spend my time trying to get android to work after running on my blackstone. My thinking for me as my athena is a second device that with android I could almost have the equivilent of a dell/archos android tablet without any outlay.
To be honest I havent flashed any new roms to my athena for a while and am still using my last release.
Hopefully there will be plenty of time to help once we get to a working build and there will be a lot of testing etc to do
Just donated to the cause
Hello Avengerpenguin,
Just made a donation from an email address beginning with 'wide' and ending with '.com' would of made it sooner but was waiting for payday.
Lets hope we can get a working version sometime soon or I might have to go crazy and get the HTC Desire when it arrives. (if it's not got the same issues as it's Nexus sibling that is)

Many thanks for the donation, I have had confirmation of the donation and will keep it in the kitty for the android dev, I like you really hope for a working android either by my doing or from someone else, unfortunately work has dictated that my android work in on the back burner for probably another week or so, but will get back to it as soon as I can
I will probably get a htc desire in april when released on orange to use for work, looks like a great device.
I am willing to test!
If you need a tester, I would like to do so.
I have an X7510 which I only use for music, and that even only in imergency if my MP3 playe is out of power!
There has been very little in the way of Gingerbread development for the Vibrant.
Rom cooks seem to have deserted us.
Edit: The thing is guys, Team Whiskey has been regularly releasing stuff for Nexus S. Is there not any possibility they might have switched ? [my point about switching is mostly rhetorical. Cant afford to switch im poor]
A member pointed out that our rom cooks only take samsung leaks and plug up their issues and make roms. I didnt believe him and reported him for flamebait.
I am not so sure anymore. Please can someone reassure me ?
If no one is bringing out Gingerbread on this, what hope do i have of seeing Honeycomb on this thing ?
I am not trolling. Just looking for some hope. Because every time i turn the computer on, the first thing i do is refresh the Vibrant Android Development forum and check for some updated rom which includes a significant chunk of Gingerbread.
Dude I would say its obvious that some of the activity may have died down due to people spending time with their families and what not as it has been mentioned, I would say hold out for a little while at least.. Even Supercurio is working on bettering his Voodoo project which will lead to more success... It may seem as if we have been getting bread crumbs at this point but I am optimistic that it will pick up..

Team Whiskey is working on bringing Gingerbread to the Vibrant as we speak...there is an EXPERIMENTAL build that sombionix put up...but porting it is easier said than done....Team Whiskey is the among the best in the business...and they're build has a few things that are not working...but it runs on our Vibrant...
Bottom line: Have patience....Gingerbread will come soon enough...
Thank you battlekry & fearless1964 for the hope. Much appreciated.
so "Team Whiskey is working on bringing Gingerbread to the Vibrant as we speak," is this really true ? omg happy happy

As is the word of Ozmulti 1:4:11
But serously, just have some patience. I am actually relieved that Neor v3 is soooooo damn stable.

According to several members that have contacted DELL, the official Honeycomb OTA is supposed to roll out within 48 hours.
We'd love to have someone there w/ HC experience to help us tweak things out and get it flashed!
************************************************************
Hello fellow xda members,
I know many devs and community members are busy enjoying and developing for many new shiny phones and tablet, but today i turn and ask for your help.
There is a small community of DELL Streak 7 owners along with ONE DEV who are trying to bring some life and a lot of improvements into our small and pitiful tablet running Tegra2.
Our current Honeycomb 3.2 build is running off the XOOM dump. We have some features and errors that of course, because there is no native dump for the streak, are having problems fixing.
I come asking as a poor newb, because i really tried to learn how to learn to modify ROMs and i couldn't do it, for your support.
Our one and only dev right now is DJ_Steve (Click here for profile), who has done and continues to do a freaking amazing job. He has achieved what many thought was not possible; making honeycomb work for our small tablet.
If any of you guys out there have any time and ability to spare, we would REALLY appreciate your support and expertise.
DELL has said they would release a HC update, but as we know, so has every other android manufacturer; most lie.
So, I come representing many, and humbly ask, will you help us out?
If you feel as though you can, please do not hesitate to contact DJ_Steve or visit our small part of paradise, as our link is below.
******7/29 UPDATE*********
We would truly really appreciate the support of any and all developers who can contribute in any possible way.
If it's of any incentive, you can now get the DELL Streak 7 @ Staples for $200+Tax after you apply this $100 coupon:

Thank you for your time & Best Regards,
Sebastian

kickin it up
Up again. We now have an additional dev onboard as well as some members who've started learning android rom compiling!
Please don't hesitate to post on our forums or contact me or dj_steve if you can help out
would be nice to get more devs working on the streak7. I would be happy if one could get gingerbread running on it.
Just wanted to thank all the devs for their awesome work on this phone. If it wasn't for you guys I would have went crazy waiting for my upgrade but you kept this phone relevant. I just went and picked up the droid bionic today and have already rooted it. Just waiting for CWM and some ROMs to start coming. This phone is a beast I would recommend it to anyone. I hope to see some of the eris devs working on the bionic sometime soon! Thanks again, you guys are awesome at what you do!
I love the idea of making a post just to thank devs! Because of you all i got to have so much fun with my Eris and it usually was faster than other peoples' newer phones! and it ran Gingerbread when everyone else had FroYo!! Thank you all for your selflessness and all your hard work!
Thanks again to all the Devs who made a phone that Verizon stopped supporting, last year because it would never get Froyo. But you guy achieved that and then some by putting Gingerbread on the Eris. You guys made my phone fun again, I was sad when I upgraded to the Bionic, because my Eris might be able to beat it. The Eris will always live on in the Xda forums. Thank you again to all the devs you made my phone fun again.
Yes title says everything
Can we have ics or honeycomb
Why dell is not opensourcing the streak 5 drivers
just wait. since dj steve is back there is a small chance...
Yes possibly, ICS is a possibility, forget about honeycomb though.
I dunno, I think dj steve had honeycomb booting on the streak 5. He may do it for the laugh ;-)
Afaik though, honeycomb doesn't have phone capabilities anyhow.

He's been able to boot HC for nearly a year now, but it's never been very useful since many thing didnt work.
Now that ICS is out there's no real reason to attempt to work on HC at all
ICS source code is going to be released soon.
http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/224209/google-serves-android-40-source-code
Once it's released, I"m sure our dominant programmers will be all over it, trying to get ICS for the streak!
if you really want to help the initiative, donate to DJ_Steve's paypal account. He's trying to raise money to upgrade his servers so they can handle the ICS compiling. That would be the biggest help to getting ICS available on the Streak 5.
You can find his donation link here:

DJ_Steve started working on ICS yesterday, for the Dell Streak 7. He fully plans on making it, for the Dell Streak 5, as well.

I still love the Miui projet of Dj Steve, when post the first beta he promise he will take care on this. But. ..
I waiting and check this thread for every day to see a stable Miui version then buy a streak for replace my P100 because the resolution 800x480 of dell is a good choice for all my favorite game. ..But. ..Hope less. ..
Sory for my bad English
