Hey guyz...
I have come across a site which says u can put BackTrack5 on Dell Streak 5 but in SimpeStreak 1.2 ROM. Here is the link to that site.

I was wondering if it really works and can it work on CM7.2.

ok wondering if anyone still has a streak with donut installed ?(4399 preferably) that could tar up their system folder for me... am looking to make a pretty vannilla donut build buit im going to need files from dells donut for some things
dude i didn't know you got a streak also!
I was following you for the NITDroid too haha! glad to know i'm not the only N900 who also picked up a Streak.
haha imdoing dev for itdroid and streak now, nitdroid farrr easier since nokia are actually open about their devices unlike dell
even then the radio is still a pain...
i thought dell had released their source no?

yea they did, if you count releasing a hlaf baked 1.6 kernel thats not even buildable using streaks actual kernel config as released
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.

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.

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 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.

Hi all,
Do you have any experiences about the development ICS for Dell Streak 5.
In the last time i see not so many topics about this.
Can somebody write here the current status?
I dont know how many peoples are still using dell streak, but I believe that the development is still on the way.
Thanks for all developers, that want to keep dell streak 5 alive.
