is it hard to make a movie of it? just to have an idea how it looks like thanks DJ_Steve
ill do a video shortly yes
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)

So can i flash straight from 1.4.6?
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

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
DJ_Steve said:

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.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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.

Honeycomb SDK port to N1 alpha 3
Credits goes to :
Pershoot's Kernel 2.6.35.11 – OC-UV-BTN-AUD-RAM-NEON_FP
chhaggerty and NuroSlam for the recompiled "honeycomb" su
RiotMAC for the density hack (which made my previous work worth sharing)
M..N for the libinput.so TC fix
DJ_Steeve for 3d libs, data and oriention fix
Coolexe for pointing the link to an almost fully working gapps on Honeycomb
If any DEVs are interested in getting more things to work for the Nexus One let me know. The nook community did fix a lot of things from the SDK for their device it's impressive but possible
Working :
3d acceleration (still a few glitches)
Charging led
Data
Flash led
Orientation sensors
SMS (sdk sms application wont show what you type as a message but still send and receive properly)
Trackball notifications
Not working :
Audio
Bluetooth
Calls
Wifi
etc etc etc...
Change log :
[02/20/2011] Honeycomb Preview SDK port alpha
First preview SDK port to Nexus One
[02/24/2011] Honeycomb Full SDK port alpha
First Full SDK port to Nexus One
[02/24/2011] Honeycomb Full SDK port alpha 1
Fixed wallpapers and adb logcat loop oom error
[02/24/2011] Honeycomb Full SDK port alpha 2
Added 3D acceleration drivers and libraries
[02/27/2011] Honeycomb Full SDK port alpha 3
Data and orientation fix
Flashing LED (via Torch)
Can now be overclocked
I still made some additions :
Rooted
Added busybox
Added Filemanager
QuickBoot for reboot options
SetCPU
Terminal emulator
Torch
Note : if you loose TouchScreen simply change phone screen orientation it will fix the issue.
Download :
Full SDK port alpha 3 : Honeycomb_fullSDK_N1_alpha_3-signed.zip
Honeycomb Google Apps : gapps-hc-20110120-signed.zip
For those who wants to port the SDK to another device check this post
Awesome! I will try it
OMG thanks man, i was hoping for this!
Do you plan including apps2ext in the future? Can't live without it on gingerbread.
Thanks again!
K so far what seems to not work:
wifi, accelerometer, sound, camera, bluetooth, etc...
when you launch the camera it switches the view in landscape and you can keep using it that way after (menus work better in that view)
3d performance is very bad but what can we expect from such an early port!
Over time i think it will improve to a point it will be worth using everyday!
Good job, i'll try is as soon as i can!
Downloading right now, will report back with whatever I can figure out is working or not
edit: same issues as previously stated. Nothing else found yet :/
I was wondering when someone was going to jump all over this and I'm glad to see it happen.

Dual boot would be the same barely nothing works in this rom you will miss all your calls,sms,email,etc for sure...
It is still possible to fix things but not everything there is no source at all its from the SDK -PREVIEW- not even the final one after all !

I was mad jelly of all those folks with Evos and other 4+" phones that were getting ports. You just made my day my friend! Thank you so much.
Unfortunately, I am writing this while tethered to my phone stuck in traffic. I'll flash when I get a stable connection.
Thanks again! Can't wait to try this out!
Is this coming for the Nexus S?
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.

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
few voice call few minutes of data usuage two skype video call about 15 minutes of usuage and 7h standby
so far good running
15% used or left?

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.

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?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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
You might find this useful as this is most of the changes you mentioned in your rom: List of safe to remove apks
Just installed the MIUI Beta and I am LOVING this ROM! My absolute favorite so far. It's smooth, my battery seems to be holding good. No FC's yet. The look and feel is great! Good job devs!
Few questions though. How do I delete individual notifications? No (X) next to then, and I tried to swipe them to delete, but nothing. Also, on the lock screen, if I drag over the camera, it doesnt open the camera, just goes to the home screen.
Other than that it's amazing! Thanks guys!

I've no clue how to solve the camera problem. It's been so long since I've been on miui. Get widget locker and that problem will go away as you can customize what happens when you drag the unlock icon in a particular direction.

I just came from CM7. Didn't like it much. Too glitchy and just didn't like the overall look and feel. I had Eclipse before and that was my favorite until now. Just too many issues with CM7
- dock shortcuts would seem time change or dissapear on their own. Like I would boot up and there would be a star where the browser used to be. Or where the app drawer shortcut was. One time I pressed the browser button and ALL of my dock icons dissappeared.
- Widgets sometimes would be invisible. I could long press them where they should have been and it would let me delete them or move them. But they wouldn't show up.
- I had it in my dock and it showed it was plugged in and charging. Had like 95% battery when I plugged in. Woke up to a dead phone. 0% battery. Even if it wasn't charging, it would have made it through the night on 95%
And just some other weird stuff. Just didn't like it much. Sorry. I even tried wiping and reflashing. Still basically the same.
MIUI is running stable so far. And I love the look and feel.

If I recall the camera doesn't link or work right or something....I might still have a couple camera apks that worked for me if I remember correctly...of course no guarantees...I will look and see if I have them and will repost if I do with them attached

The camera works fine. Just the lockscreen link to it doesn't.

Ahh...ok I think that was a known issue if I remember correctly
The first apks is from the photon, if I am not mistaken, which I liked and used on miui and had much better luck with all the way around.
Maybe will help maybe not *shrugs*
Wow, I must say, I am surprised someone would choose a mui port over the Eclipse Rom. I have been running eclipse 2.1 for over a month now with v6SuperCharger and bloat removed, and this thing flies, no problems at all and the battery life is fantastic.

The OP might've never tried Eclipse or any other ROM for that matter.

ITT: ROM **** sizing and people who don't read. OP said he tried both eclipse and CM, guys. Let's all try to remember everyone has different preferences people! I personally loved MIUI and it's notifications, but overall it was too buggy for me to use as a DD on the DX2.
Tried it out on my brother's DX and it was MUCH better, so I'm hoping Ace will have an update for us sooner or later, althought much like DZK he's busy as well (IIRC he just recently lost his job after moving so that's taken priority numero uno).
As far as this:

SMH. You should read up more on MIUI, and TRY IT, before you put out your opinions/"assumptions." MIUI was created by Xiaomi Tech, a Chinese firm (dunno wtf you got arabs..), so it's not just some random dev's collaborating, but an actual company putting out the ROM for usage in handsets in Asia that got picked up by the rest of the Android community. And as far as open source, they announced back in February of this year that they were going to begin opensourcing their applications and ROM, which you can see over at their GitHub (google it..).

And fwiw the Chinese own the **** out of us when it comes to phone development. I believe they're responsible for a couple bootloader unlocks and gaining root access to the original x.
MIUI is pretty sweet; It was the first rom is successfully flashed and man I had a field day with it up until you tube....

Thanks thelowend. Yes I have tried Eclipse, and as I said it was my favorite. But MIUI is really cool. I think I like it because its so different. And everything seems so integrated. Like the notifications, I love how It gives a place for a reply right in the notification! That rocks! It just looks and feels more refined.
I am finding a few more bugs. Like Youtube not working, or any streaming video for that matter. Even some of my saved vids on the SD card dont want to play. And I can't record video either. All freeze after about 2 seconds of play/recording.
So far that is the biggest turn-off for me. I use youtube allll the time. Anyone know if they are working on this? I even tried the mobile site, and neither that or the app work.
Eclipse had its glitches too. But both are very good ROMs.
Oh one other glitch that really bugged me from CM7 is gapps kept FC'ing after a while and I would need to un-install and re-install it every so often.

No problem. Video play back was always odd for me on miui; there were certain sites were streaming would work perfectly and then there were ones that just never worked.
Nothing beats miui when it comes to customization
I think there was an update to the youtube app last month that enable you to stream videos from it.

You must already be on GB and have recovery installed. If you are on HC you must follow the directions in the forum on how to downgrade to GB
Use kevinrocksman's awesome tool to get to HC from GB(or downgrade from HC to GB, and many other convenient tools). He makes it easy for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418258
This is a preview release of my DeSensed-View rom. This is WIP and this is the first preview release
Features:
Based off the Stock GB rom for the View
Lovethyevo's custom OC kernel. Thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401112
deodexed

Stock GB style status bar and icons
Stock GB lockscreen
maybe some other stuff I'm forgetting... lol
system rw at boot
phone.apk, telephony and hands free activation removed (radios disabled) I will released a 3g/4g enabler soon
Issues
You tell me.. test and let me know what's jacked up
When going through setup wizard and trying to select time zone it will FC. This is because the radios are disabled and it uses them to auto set your time zone. Just keep pressing next through set up and once it's finished you can go into settings and change it.
Maps might force close once or twice until you set up wifi
I have included the KB from CM7 but the keys are pretty small so I also included the GB KB,, the keys are small as well but you can make them bigger in settings
I am not responsible if you flash this and you brick your ****
DO NOT FLASH IF YOU ARE ON HONEYCOMB.. Follow the threads in the forum to learn how to downgrade to GB and get/keep s-off

mirror: http://d-h.st/1vm
Installation Instructions:
DO A BACK UP!
If coming from another ROM perform a FULL wipe in clockwork recovery: mounts and storage -> format /system format /data format /cache

A few people have PM'ed me asking about donating. Well, I dont/wont ever ask for donations and honestly I prefer to NOT get donations. I do this work first and for most for me(Yeah I'm a selfish bastard) so I can learn more, so I can make my device the way I want my device, I just decide to share what I make for myself instead of keeping it for myself (I'm selfish, not greedy) and I feel if people start donating they might get more demanding and feel more entitled so I'd rather just skip all of that potential drama. When it comes to requesting things in this rom, I will put them in IF it's something I would use myself. If it's not, then I most likely wont add it. So please dont donate to me, If you want to do some good instead of donating to me, donate to a worthy charity instead! Thank you all for using my rom!
Awesome!

Well, as much as I hate having to go back to an older version, I don't like HC very much, so I will definitely try this ROM out.
My F5 button just got lucky; this will be its porn. Can't wait, man!

So while I have the rom deodexing(it takes a while) I've been playing with the stock rom, deleteing crap and seeing what will break, also trying to add in some AOSP elements... that way when it is deodexing then I know exactly what I can remove and/or replace
removed a ****load of bloat and useless htc apps
rosie is gone, all the rosie widgets are gone, I have the free version of ADW, Stock GB browser and 3D Gallery all working, the stock calculator is working, GB KB included, The stock Calendar, contacts, camera or mms didnt work but I can try to tinker with them later
but the biggest one so far is I got rid of the Sense lock screen and have the stock GB one So much easier to do on GB than HC!
I might have a preview release up in a few hours
pretty cool man. but i think it would probably be pretty easy to actually build cm7 for the view. I believe the flyer has it going.

pretty easy if you know how to kernel dev without a kernel dev porting the flyer CM7 kernel over or creating a new one we wont get anything AOSP The View only has a couple devs and zero kernel devs which means we are up ****s creek without a paddle for the time being

I asked the guy who did the Flyer CM rom to throw us Viewers a bone and port his Flyer version to the View. He said he might make it a weekend project but not promising anything.
If interested run over to his thread and pm the dev (very nicely) that you heard a rumor he might consider doing a View port and you just wanted to support the idea.
Maybe a little future fan influence will motivate him

Also check out the Q & A thread. There is a Chinese GB RUU out that has full pen support for the Flyer. May be some goodies to grab there.

Posted a preview release.. let me know what issues you guys find..
I noticed the market wasnt updating to the Play Store.. I'll include the updated APK in the next release but until then you can just install this and it will overwrite the market with playstore. No need to push it, just install it like you would any side loaded apk
http://d-h.st/aQQ
Another issue I found was sometimes the unlock slider disappears when you wake the device (just the left one though) but if you swipe as if it was there it unlocks. I'll have to look into that

Sounds great I may hold off on testing until it's done. Just hard bricked my E4GT this morning and I'm a bit gun shy.
Never hard bricked a phone before. Accidentally flashed an AOSP ICS rom over an ICS kernel. Apparently this is huge no no. Complete blue light of death hard brick. Thank god for insurance.
Just installed. Testing now. I'll edit in problems as necessary.
First thing I noticed is that the Setup Wizard force closes if I try to change the time settings. I can change the time settings just fine through the regular settings, though.
The keyboard wouldn't pop up at first for whatever reason. A reboot fixed it, though.
In the settings, the right side of the check boxes are cut off.
Also, the mobile signal level icon still shows up, even though I downloaded the WiFi only ROM. I'm guessing this is just an issue with theming for now, though.

The first issue I mentioned in the OP. The keyboard popped up fine for me the first time. The check boxes I noticed and will look into. And the signal meter will always be there even if its just wifi. But you'll see its a empty signal. The only difference is hc puts a red x through it.

You don't have to be shy. I've been running it since last night and there are no huge major bugs that are show stoppers. Every rom has issues and is never perfect. But even though its a preview release its pretty stable except for the few mentioned small issues.

Agreed. So far, it's definitely smooth, and just has those minor issues. I think this will do just fine until we get ICS (though I'll go over to an AOSP GB ROM if we get one). I like it better than Honeycomb already, even if it is an older system.

Any chance I could get pointed in the right direction as far as getting the APK to enable live wallpapers again?
