I purchased my streak back in December and I love it, even though it came with 1.6, I had to eventually figure out how to upgrade it to 2.1 and 2.2 instead of waiting on AT&T! And now I see 2.2.2 is out and the changes aren't that different, I'm wondering is this the end of the line for such a great device. Will we every get Gingerbread or Honeycomb?
I don't think anyone will know other than Dell
Of course I'm quite confident that we'll have custom built roms sooner or later.
I think we may have to come to terms that, no official Tom will be release. But how good is the device anyway? Totally amazing. I can live with froyo. Its an amazing piece of kit.:-D
I got a DM on twitter from dell stating that there are no plans to bring gingerbread to the streak. I'll post a screen shot later.
If previously leaked road maps from dell internal documents are to be trusted, then their plans are to release a follow up to the streak code named opus one. It would be same size with higher resolution screen and better processor if memory serves me right.

I agree... if gingerbread wasn't out yet for any phones... Froyo would be king.
It would be kinda like getting a new Corvette and finding out "Gee, they just came out with a 450hp motor & GPS and I only have a 400hp motor and no GPS. Whoopee doo... it is all vanity and ego.
However, I don't see that much improvement with gingerbread anyways.
And yes... I'm very happy with my Froyo 2.2 Streak... amazing cell phone. Everywhere I go, someone wants to see it.

Two things i am looking forwarding in gingerbread
1. Better copy and paste fn
2. Gtalk video chat.
If dell plans to go ahead with the opus one then it would be a bad move on their part to upgrade the current steaks to gb. Because some people will overlook the new hardware changes and just upgrade their current devices and make due.

I have to say good bye to Venue, I am disappointed because I truly think this is a good phone, but just too many ways to make it fails.
I think the first party to blame is Dell, compare to Samsung, HTC or even LG, Dell did very little to promote or help this phone, not support or update for almost 1 year, for Dell to catch up they should have do much more, regular update is a must thing, and look it's still 2.2.....
Also not promotion means no accessories! Even up to today I still can't find a case for my Venue, no, basically no where will sell even a case and even extra battery is a no where to find, people simply don't know what is a Venue.
So Dell you fail and a lesson for me, I will never again to buy any brand that is not popular, bye bye Venue, Hello Samsung!!
Venue - not for you. Bye bye)
If you dont want your venue anymore you could donate it to me to dev on
Dell's roadmap stated that they only intended to support it for 3 months or so, but we know that gingerbread is coming out (eventually) Why only 3 months is a real question, it's really stupid, but they still sell them after being out nearly a year
They pretty much only sell them though their website so you cant really expect much in the way of accessories for a device with so little visability. They never advertised anything but the s5, and that was only for about a month (and the commericals were kinda stupid anyway)
Updatewise, consider this, there's still quite a few devices even newer then the venue that's still stuck on 2.2, ones that can be considered near-flashship devices. Though many of them are skipping straight to ICS/4.0, which I wouldnt expect for the venue.
Yea venue is not for you, you want to be one of the crowd than one for a crowd.

You did not look very hard for cases. I just bought a Venue and have three cases for it. The leather horizontal one from Dell and two I bought on eBay. I also have Otterbox Commuter and and incipio feather snap-on cases.
I just went through a period of looking at the new phones that were recently released and was underwhelmed. For me the choice of a solid phone that works well without having another two year commitment to AT&T is worth more than the having the newest hardware.
As TheManii mentioned why not donate it to him to dev on if you think it is useless?

I agree. for it was the excellent hardware + the no contract crap with cell phone service. I'm quite happy with my phone. The upgrade will come eventually. And I trust the developers here at xda to come up with a rooting method for 2.3.3 by then =)
Well guys no sure where you are from but at my place (Hong Kong ) we have new phones come out almost every month. As I stated I think this is a good machine but really the support is too little, of course I can go internet to buy a Outterbox but at the same time most of the other same period phones (HTC SAMSUNG etc) case can go as little as US$5 here, plus everyone else is using 2.3.4 or even 2.3.5 and many will promise to go ICS, but where will we see the light of DELL?
Sorry I cannot donate it out, I traded in my Venue for about US$120, which the same period HTC can still go for US$200 here or more, that tells something......
I changed to a new Samsung NOTE, it is amazing, the speed the screen the camera plus more.... I do ask you guys to try it if have a chance, then we will really see how a long way that Dell fall behind, in just less than a year. Do we still want to waste time to DEV Venue?
I just think Dell blew it and feels bad that I think at that time Dell were doing a good job....
If you're in hong kong I'm surprised that you cant find cases for it.
There's plenty of cases on ebay and I'd expect at least a fair amount of them originated from hong kong.
Please don't buy PDAir case - it's sucks)

Find someone who can reverse engineer and write drivers for the Streak and you can have ICS. That's the only way ICS is happening, unless Olleh produces an ICS ROM for their Streaks.

Obviously you hadn't looked at the thread regarding DJ_Steve having financial difficulties which has significantly delayed porting the Streak 7 ROM to the Streak 5. If your other twelve responses at the time I write this say the same thing I'm gonna think you're spamming the forum.

I don't mean to spam this forum, I just really wonder myself how difficult people porting the driver into streak 5. I'm newbie here, I'm observe everywhere include the rumor that DJ_STEVE has run out of budget to pay the server. my question is why Dell itself do do anything to help satisfying the costumer..I Love Dell but now Dell don't do anything at all to help
Dell will not help, because to Dell its Android line was a failure. Besides, they did no worse in firmware updates than any other device manufacturer. They promised an update to Froyo and delivered. The fact we even got Gingerbread is all due to Olleh KT providing an updated ROM for their Streaks. That was not Dell's doing. The simple fact here is the Streak is two years old, thus ancient technology, and has long since been discontinued by Dell. Thus any expectation of firmware updates from Dell is unrealistic, which leads back to my initial post in this thread regarding drivers.
P.S. Just to make things clear, I know you were not spamming the forum. In reality nobody was, however hcaz301's posts were rather redundant, even resurrecting dead threads to post inaccurate statements. Thus my comment, which was directed at him.
Check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716568 I just found it yesterday and I've tried this one myself, but still need some suggestion from expertise

As someone who browses the forums for advice i find your reply to a request for information not only insulting to the person asking but seriously you need an attitude adjustment. Where in the world do you think you are so superior to answer like this, if anything you do not deserve the right to post on this site and i registered just to tell you this. Never seen such a stupid comment by an obviously full of himself idiot.
And yes you can remove this comment and carry on being what you are but believe me you know nothing about life and should be prepared for a life of hurt if you continue being such a fool.
You were the noob previously and i am sure some of your comments would have had people laughing at your ignorance, but seriously get a life and stop being such a douchebag
I guess I attract the trolls. Must be because I work for some, but that's another story.
I can only guess that you created your account specifically to respond to this one post by me, and then you will simply evaporate into nothingness again. Let me give you a piece of advice: stop wasting both your time and mine and actually do something constructive with your life. You may or may not understand this, but I neither have to justify nor prove myself to you or anyone else for that matter. What you see here is what you get, and quite bluntly, I don't give a f*** if you like it or not.
havent been here for about 2 or 3 years but getting another streak here soon once i sell off my Motorola milestone 3, and before i left there was talk of DJSteve coming back to pot cm9 to the streak and i see a few roms but not fully working so does that mean that all hope is lost and people moved on? or is there still people trying to get a fully working rom, plus with kitkat coming out and can "run" on lower spec roms will that give us a new light of hope?
I haven't seen DJ Steve here since he said he was going to work on ICS. At this point, it won't matter because in a few months I'm getting a Nexus 5. However, there are a couple lessons to be learned from this.
1. Don't promise what you can't deliver.
2. Don't trust anybody.
Now I'm sure at some point he'll come across this post, read it, and start throwing a hissy fit. However, this is the simple truth of the matter: he promised, didn't deliver, and any trust or goodwill he earned is gone. Getting angry at the messenger will not change that perception.
Thanks for the reply brother and it sucks such a awesome device and older crappyer phone are able to run ics and jb but I guess easier sources

I know it's a small consolation, but you could install Traveller DSC and have a fully featured ROM. It's not ICS, but it at least looks the part.
<random musing>Though I really should switch out the default wallpapers for something more in tune with my tastes.</random musing>
Yeah I will give it a try man oce I get a streak trying to sell or trade my unlocked motorola droid 3

See it like this: In it's time, the Dell Streak 5 was a top class phablet. Much like the Porsche 912 as a sports car in the 60s. Even today, it is fun to drive. Modern cars - even less expensive ones - have abs brakes, rain sensors or other bells and whistles you will never see in your classic model. So what?
Well Dell is definitly no Porsche and mobile devices have a much shorter lifespan than cars. But have you tried to buy a Dell Streak 5 lately? A new one or even second hand? You pay collectors prices.
I didn't find any news around talking about Dell's Android 6.0 upgrade plan.
Any source about venue 8 7840?
Dell was doing great with 4.4KK -> 5.0LP -> 5.1, hope they will trigger the next push. Though I think current 5.1 is great enough in terms of battery/performance/stability
I think we as owners of the Venue 8 7000 first have to make our voices heard for Dell to even consider an update to Marshmallow. I contacted support about it recently, and the rep stated that he had no information regarding this update. Hopefully Dell does decide to update, else I will be selling this tablet.
I'd guess by April it will have it.
Send a support email. That'll be the best way to get info as well as let Dell know, we want it. Otherwise they'll just release a new product and forget about us.
The Dell Support Chat has confirmed that an update is in the pipe, apparently we just have to wait and see.
I sent Dell a message about this on Saturday, Jan 9th but never got a response. I saw a root method for it online but it was one of the ones you had to go through all types of hoops and strings to get the links.

Just curious, is there no development for this tablet because it isn't popular enough? The bootloader is unlocked, right?

yes, bootloader can be unlocked. But Dell is trying it's best to keep this tablet a secret, so nearly no dev knows about it.
Only hope is that development for intel based tablets in general get more attention in the future...

I have it on good authority that Dell is planning on cancelling sales of this device. (Heard from a Dell rep at my workplace.)
This combined with Intel cancelling all atom development doesn't leave me with much hope for an official ROM from Dell.

yes, that's a downer. Such pretty hardware, awesome screen, decent sound. This thing could have been a real hit. But since the software part sucks that hard, i sold mine a few weeks ago and got a Huawei Mediapad.
It is official now: dell shuts down entire Android tablet business and no longer offer any OS updates for any of its Android tablets.

Yea, I had a Venue 10 7040 that crapped out on me after 6.5 months. Dell has it now, and they do not have any more 32gb versions in stock to replace mine. They have told me that they are no longer producing tablets at all.

What is their remedy for your hardware failure? I certainly hope they aren't trying to get away with "Sorry, we're out of that product. So we will take yours but not replace it.". My Venue 7840 just this past week stopped charging. It's clearly a faulty charging port but I'm having a difficult time getting Dell to honor the warranty the device is still under.
