hi to all, i am a new of the Dell Streak world..
i have a simply question..
what's the better ROM for Dell Streak?
I USE A REBEL SIM
sorry budd but your choice is very limited to only one dedicated dev DJsteve. i went to verizon not too long ago and snapped a free droid x and couldnt be happier. if u decide to upgrade to DJ's rom be aware even with the recent 1.6.1 its still buggy. in comparison im running custom rom by liberty and encounter zero problems. Streak is a fine contender for smart phone but too bad and a shame people overlook it.
good luck
LOL 1.6.1 is not buggy zero problems here and I have been using it for 20 days.
Upgrade to streakdroid 1.6.1 its amazing if u need help doing that pm me I just upgrade mine and the steps are fresh in my mind.

Hey I was having a quick look at the desire hd and i was wondering if it would be possible to get the new htc sense with full landscape support on the Streak?
I was going to pick one of these up when they hit Best Buy this month and was thinking the same thing...
This have already been asked so many times!
Yes it is possible but someone have to do it! Most of the developers here are busy with other thing the are more important so it will be a while till someone find the time to do it!
if i knew developers were not interested in d dell streak i wouldnt have bought it, its a pity too, such a beautiful device going unnoticed, wonder where it went wrong..oh well...

Give it chance, it's not exactly been out long
It got rooted within days, which is pretty good going if you ask me, and stock Froyo is nearly done. I'd say development is moving along nicely
Once we have figured out how to get stock android running fine on the Streak, getting Sense running shouldn't be too hard.
I don't think it's got much to do with when it was released, Dell have held back most of the Devs by not releasing the kernal and when they did it wasn't complete, i'd rather have 2.2 than HTC sense if HTC sense was a priority i would of bought a HTC phone.
ur right about buying htc for htc sense lol, but i dono im on vanilla 2.1, n it sux lol, need some sort of skin and htc sense is the best out there come on devs!

I don't understand people that say this kind of stuff. If you want Sense or Froyo on the Streak why don't YOU download the kernel and start working on it. Oh, cause you don't know how? Well then maybe you should just sit and wait like everyone else. We are lucky that anybody is doing any dev work at all, so lets all be patient and stop complaining.
Is there any kind of tutorial on how to work on a kernel because I'm really interested in rom development?

Yes, it is a very nice machine. very good in the Hardware Spec as well. But I cannot get away with HTC Sense!!! I will buy only if I see a Port of the HTC sense Rom for this machine.
I See the machine few days ago, and the original IU is so .... URGY!!

and cyanogen, at min having no luck with sense other than force closes
wish i knew how to programme and stuff, would have helped you out, best of luck steve! for now m enjoying froyo v2 thanks
Hi everyone, while my streak will be hear tomorrow and have been searching through the site and would like assistance on where to download the latest/offical 2.1 dell release if there is one not the O2 version and how to update, as from my reading when 2.2 is release a 2.1 base OS will be required on the device if this is right.
I wouldnt bother with 2.1 - use DJ_steve's 2.2 build. I finally got round to doing mine last night and had some help from steve. It finally works as i would expect it to + you have the added bonus of not having any of the dell rubbish on there. This is of course my opinion but i think that most on here would agree with me....i think i could safely say now theres a valid working and quite frankly brilliant build of 2.2 this part of the foum has exploded.
I would totally agree. Having been upgrading at every earliest possibility I have seen them all.
When I first got the streak I loved it..then got 2.1..loved it even more..then took plunge to root n install from .zip n it was quite straight forward..only problem I had was windows 7drivers, but this was resolved by a bit of reading.
Seriously Dj staves 2.2 is amazing, its fast, stable and a credit to the streak.. Then load up flash.. then ur streak will b amazing..I mean BBC iplayer on that huge screen..gorgeous.

Hey there fellow streakers and power users, was wondering if anyone out there knows how I can get gingerbread on my streak. Apparently there are some really neat improvements when compared to froyo so it would be nice to try.
I have a dell streak from o2 unlocked with 2.2 froyo currently running on it. It hasn't been rooted as I can't find any sensible how to's on getting the original ota froyo rooted. Any help or pointers would be highly appreciated thanks.
Ps: this is my first post.
Not yet there is one name is the development of streak Roms and such and its dj Steve and he has only put out a great 2.2 froyo OS this far.

Steve said he is skipping 2.3 and is going straight to 3.0 honeycomb.

Thanks for the update, didn't know that

That would be awesome to get some 3.0 love!
From my freakn Dell Streakn! 3.5 retina? Get outta heh!
Glad to hear that I don't think there is a great difference between 2.2 and 2.3 but the difference between 2.2 and 3.0 will be huge.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Thanks for the comment. That's really sad though. Would have loved to upgrade from 2.2 froyo. Now we have to wait ages for 3.0's release and then wait again for our rom saviour djSteve to sort us out.
Oh well, I guess I'll have to find something else to Tinker with on my dell streak until that time. Has anyone rooted original froyo yet? Why is the streak soooo difficult to hack/root. When I had the iphone I jailbroke it the same day I got it. IV had the streak a month now and still don't know how its done. I tried superboot and got stuck on the dell screen. IV heard soo much about the huge difference with rooted phones and custom roms. I want hands on. Pls, someone tell me it is possible to get root access on my streak and show me how. Thanks.
I haven't rooted mine but I have seen lots of info on it right here on and on Streakzoid I Believe.

Why not just follow. One of the guides? Its easy enough.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Your right 'that1dude', there are many guides. Stoney73, I followed one of them only to get stuck on the dell screen which freaked me out so I am more inclined to follow a simpler method. U know, one for click and paste morons... not saying that I am one but after that experience I learnt that one can easily go from owning a dell streak to owning a dell brick.
Hi everyone,
I just bought the Streak and will being getting it in this Tues. This will be my very first android/touch screen phone. I've been doing some research here and there but am still a little confuse. As of now, I know its going to be the updated Froyo version. I was hoping if I can get some suggestions on what apps I should add to this phone? Should I change it to DJ Steve's version? What are the benefits of rooting this phone? Thank you in advance!
It should come with Froyo pre-installed for you. The stock version is pretty stable for me. I.d recommend to try out the stock version first especially you are new user.

I got my Streak in March. I was glad it was shipped with 1.6 so I could spend a week or so getting familiar with the system and all it features. I really liked it, actually gave me time to notice which changes occurs when I walk thru 2.2 Actually didnt wantto update it.
Then after 2 weeks andupdated, loved the streak even more. You will be very glad you got the Dell Streak.
Question... i know we achieved so much with the dell streak 5 and the 2.3 and 2.4 ...... but will there be any hopes in completing an updated miui rom?....

Dj Steve tweeted yesterday that he may be working on this...

Love to see miui on streak
I've set up a fascinate, droid x, and dinc 2 all with miui. In fact I only buy phones that have miui roms available for them. Even most motorola phones with their locked boot loader and stock kernels have miui roms for them
Best rom hands down.
That would be absolutely wonderful. I've fallen in love with miui roms and would love to see this on my dell..
cant wait to get an update?
best of luck
