this is donut code, so don't get too excited, but its certainly a great start!
I posted on modaco, wondering about diff the kernel against the codearoura source to create a patch from what changes Dell have made to then go on and build eclair or froyo kernel.
Thoughts on that anyone?
Well, its probably enough to get it working very roughly... im sure there will be issues... still awesome that its available though. Hopefully the 2.1 kernel source is available soon.

here's the diff between the dell source and the donut source.
as predicted all the logging and debug stuff is enabled, no wonder the streak isnt running at full speed.
Is a port of MIUI on the Streak possible ? I'm very attracted to this UI and think it would look awesome on our 5 inch screens.

Its a nice theme, I am sure its possible. But looks so iphone like, which really arent to my liking.
The theme tends to develop his own style and to differ from iOS. The UI iso very slick and since Gingerbread seems to be a disappointment ...

Its slick, no doubt, my friend has it on his milestone, it has some cool animation and 60 FPS system animations versus 17 FPS on the stock rom on a Nexus One. That makes it so much smoother. It does has this iPhone aroma about it.
I wouldn't pass judgement on gingerbread so quickly, its no even been release yet
Although I agree about the "looking too much like an iphone" thing, I would love to see this.
We're all extremely greatful for the huge amount of work that steve does on the Streak, but we really need more people developing,
An MIUI or Cyanogen rom would really give the streak the kick up the ass it deserves, this monster phone just seems wasted on the crap Dell are churning out.
Actually Steve is working on CM6 AFAIK. But we need something powerful. Something that is incredibly eye-candy. We could have the best phone if Dell cared.

Both of you are right, we need more dev and more rom choices. Streak 5 inch screen could do so much more. We need more dev to uncover its potential......
Yeah. I mean, if we could have DjSteve, Sense, MIUI and CM6 that would be awesome yet. When I see the number of Roms for the Hero I'm just WOW.

I just looked this rom up - the 10.29 version on the htc desire ,and it looks amazing. I think if one of you fantastic people could port it to our streaks it would make a great device with a crap ui ,into a great all round device.

miui is not jsut a theme, its a fully edited build of android, hence getting it to work on the streak is more of a hassle than you would think, will be something im gonan look at beforelong tho as ive put cm on hold for now pending audio libs sources being released by dell
I've read the MIUI benchmarks higher than cm anyway.
Hey steve, great news about the possibility of more rom options, not that we're dissing your current work though, the streak would be a sad state of affairs without your work so far & I hope you continue!
*Took me ages to find where this thread had gone, probably should be moved out of dev & in to general*

There has been no progress noted on the CM6 port to our Streak in some time now. I think Steve is busy working on his own stuff for us right now. Still the best phone ive ever had so im not complaining, but id sure love to see what all the CM6 hype is about.

Is there any news about android 3.0 comming to dell streak??
I have seen that dj steve is working on something but i cant find any information about it..
Does anyone think that dell will realese 3.0 as their rom or will it only be something thats homemade..?
I highly doubt it. I just received a DM on twitter from dell that states:
"Sorry for any disappointment, There are no plans to bring Gingerbread to the Streak. Visit Direct2Dell http://dell.to/dd0w9L. Thanks, LM"
I know it specifically says gingerbread but I don't think there are going to be any more updates for the streak.
Sent from my Dell Streak XDA premium app - please excuse my miswyping
Also, 3.0 has not been released for phones, it has only be release for tablets.
Yeah, I know our Streaks are tablets, but they are phones as well.
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?....
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Dj Steve tweeted yesterday that he may be working on this...
DMonsterProd: "time to see if 2.3 based miui is any easier to persuade to work on the streak5"

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

What are the chances....
Of ICS being ported to this big beast (Dell Streak)? I am tempted to move on to another device but if there is still plenty of development life I'll stick it out.
What is in the works and what's going to become of the Dell Streak?
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Slim to no chance of an official ICS ROM, because the Streak is discontinued and has been for some time now. The next large screen device everyone will likely go to is the Samsung Galaxy Note.
no chance of custom rom, because of lack of ICS drivers for Streak.
