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.

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.

I am just asking a question so dont all attacks me now.
Any idea as to when we can all expect bootloader crack guys.
Just give me days, weeks, months or years. No long answers.
Work harder i say!
sometime before we all die, maybe
We can't expect when the bootloader will be cracked.
Short enough ?
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
If you had read the numerous other threads regarding this, you would see that the devs themselves said they have no idea.
Sorry to tell you this, but i've just had a meeting at the conference centre with all the devs working on the crack. They say it's going to be 25 years, 4 months, 3 days and two hours. When I asked how many minutes and seconds they kicked me out
You ask silly questions.... you get silly answers
what's the point of reading if i want to ask the question, beside I am directing my question to the Devs team.
You're asking a question that can't be answered, there is no progress bar on cracking something that has yet to be done, the method for rooting this phone's bootloader is somewhat different from other android phones, it can take days, weeks or even years.
It'll be done when it's done.

Great, then in this case I will get an Iphone instead.
Thx.
he's just an appleFB troll
in the general forum he posted something about getting an e-mail from SE that 2.1 update is out this weekend or something..
seriously... i don't understand these ppl who take the time to sign up just to write some bunch of crap to annoy ppl
Why would you get an iPhone? That can't run Android...
So you're going to an inferior OS because you don't have the option to move onto a different OS?
Android 1.6 > iOS4
Even without the root the phone is still better... though a subjective opinion. Plus the do have other phones that are already loaded with custom ROMs that you can buy if you don't already have an Sony Xperia X10.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Iphone is much smoother than x10 and great app & games support, camera is a bit better and most important MT support.
Most of u here said MT is not that important, but I differ and if it help you justify for x10 greatness then that ok my me.
Ps i will still be here when you wake up! then we can talk!
The developers here aren't a company, so they won't ever give a date. Just wait, be grateful and stop making such useless topics.

I beg to differ, before X10 I used to use iPhone 3GS, if I were to compare the flexibility of using both phones for my everyday needs, Android is better regardless of it being only 1.6 for X10 at the moment (better than iOS 3.1.3, and way better than iOS4 on 3GS). And don't bother suggesting me iPhone4, IMO I see nothing new that can change my mind from using any android phones.
As for MT, what do you normally use it for? most apps normally use it for zooming, and games, well for virtual buttons. I even bought an iPod touch just so I wont miss any apps/games released for iPhone/iPod Touch, but it's there collecting dust for the past 4 months.
All of you guys - including me - are to be blamed for feeding a troll.

I thought maybe it was just the Vibrant section.. but the other phones I look over seem pretty slow also.
regarding the Vibrant, what gives? Why so slow on here?
The easy answer is people have moved on to new phones (and a lot have), but there are way too many Vibrants out there for XDA to be THIS slow. Are there no more questions that need to be answered? Everyone working on the GB Source?

I don't think that there are no more questions to be answered, it's just that 99% of them already have been if people would be smart enough to search. If you look at development threads, pretty much all of them have the same questions in it and when a new thread is posted, the questions in that thread are the ones that have been previously answered.
Then there are those idiots that complain about a rom being horribly laggy (reflash fix) or having horrible battery life while the rom has only been out for less than a day.
I don't want to see dev's leaving but I can certainly see why they would be going away, xda is full of idiots and trolls.
yeah, I know what you mean... I don't know that I would say it so harshly... but it seems like the Q&A and General sections have nothing new to offer lately... work is surprisingly slow today and I was hoping XDA would fill this void... it hasn't.

Yup, I think the previous people said it best. At this point, the Devs et al have really got this phone running sooo good there are not alot of issues to cry about. That, and the pending new phones that are beginning to get released, as well as, the tablets got people less focused on the Vibrant and some of the other phones that are 10 months old.
I got a color nook for my daughter and it is a blast to flash and mod, So alot of my flashing urge is satisfied with that.
I think alot of us are just waiting until June when the new S2 comes out, Then there will be this HUGE swell of interest again. But until that time, the vibrant and Galaxy phones are such a great phone to have it really is hard to complain.
I do agree alot of the kids/trolls have been griping more as of late, but I think that is because we have all been more silent. All in All, Love this Forum and all the people who contribute to it.

I've come dangerously close multiple times on picking up a Nook Color, is it a viable tablet on CM7?
I've been splitting my time between here and Team Whiskey forums....i still love XDA but trolls aren't allowed in T.W. house ...i think when we get our TW ROM devs come back then we'll see some goodness back in the Vibrant forums...until then we're getting over-ran with ROM ports and themes.
I really dislike the idea of each "team" having their own site...
It's great for them... but it really hurts the "community!"
All of us could spend time navigating each of their site, and creating logins for each one... but it's just so nice to have EVERYTHING in one space.
And those who do branch off, always seem to come back anyway.

True, but i think the teams go to their own homes b/c of the a**ho*es that do nothing but talk crap about their work without giving thanks...devs at are at their own forums can moderate can control the content themselves as they see fit....when this "Recognized Developer" thing (that XDA Admins have been working on) starts, then devs can control their releasing threads and keep trolling and unnecessary complaining to a minimum...s15 is right, everything should be all in one place...this is XDA, where all smartphone knowledge and MODs originate and come together
Just my opinion...

It really is frustrating a lot.
Most of the time, haters will refuse to register on your site so that's automatically a filter on it's own. Next you have complete power to do anything & everything with your site.
I really wish everyone could stay on XDA but it seems like the amount of dumb we get is increasing daily and it's like there's no way out of it.
Also, people tend to think you're a lot more "professional" if you have a site.
^ you da man. Makes sense, completely understand coming from your perspective.
The reason for the increase in "undesirables" is just in the numbers. The more android catches on the more total people are going to visit xda. That's includes all types. From the seasoned developer looking to learn about android to the person that knows nothing but wants to learn to the person that, no matter what, will not search out even the simplest answer to the out and out troll.
Its just that odds are we hear the most from the latter two as the first two are more apt to search for their answer and ask questions when they truly can't find the answer.
I'm no genius with this stuff but I will at least take the time to learn what the stuff I'm doing to my phone is and how to undo it or fix it if needed. There are more and more people that don't our won't.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039152
a response awaits.

ya I agree its been quiet here for the last few weeks. I running bi-winning and haven't found the need to switch. I'm thinking about picking up a Hd2 just to tinker with it. I'm having flash withdraws also my wife won't let me play with her Mytouch4g.
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.

To do as Litetaker requested I am starting a new thread regarding MischiefsMommy's information that she posted regarding that she "may" have an unlocked bootloader and/or some kind of software that can help us to unlock our phones.
I personally think this is way too good to be true, but I think that this is important enough to start a discussion in a new thread about.
I do not want any childish banter between angry parties in this thread , but I do want to know how everyone feels about this information.
IMHO I am hoping and praying that she is right and that some tech at VZW sent her something awesome, something good has to happen to the Motorola community eventually right?

Yeah, it is definitely a possibility that that is the case. The whole reason I posted this is because it has been so long since we heard anything from either of them.

I don't understand why people are even giving this the time of day. If we get an unlocked bootloader its not going to come from an idiot user who claims to have got it from verizon. Your just feeding the trolls here. Just ignore those comments and move on. Secondly, people are getting a little too emotional about a phone. Someone said we have been burned as a community and we don't want to get hurt again. Really? If your getting your feelings hurt over a phone you may have some other issues you need to take a look at in your life other then a unlocked bootloader.

true, but I'm also thinking that this may be possible, that this could be the way to unlock the bootloader without having to buy another phone. Maybe i'm being too optimistic about this, but that's just how I feel, and how I was raised. Maybe this has to do with me being screwed over by a girl I was in love with because she moved onto her "high school sweetheart," and me wearing my heart on my sleeve, but that's just life. I'm trying to get the best out of my phone until I can upgrade to the GNex or the next best thing, but as of right now, I'm going to see this to the end and if that means I'm going to get hurt again "over a phone" then so be it. I'm going into this to optimistic, too involved, but oh well, that's me not you.

I think it was me who said that. Granted I exaggerated it a little. But I definitely felt notably dissapointed by Melvin when he came trolling here. After all, I paid $200 of my hard earned cash for this turd of a phone and at that price I could have done a LOT of stuff. So, sorry for having feelings for the $200 of my money! sorry, I guess this seems like a bit of petty quarrel and is exactly opposite of what the OP asked us to do but I felt your comment needs some perspective and explanation.
Moreover, I guess given that you gave a Gnex, you don't seem to understand the pains of users with unlocked bootloaders!!!

Yeah I'm not sure how I missed this either, but reading through her posts she seems to be extremely confused about things. I'm not sure how one can be aware of or unlock their phone and not know how to get a screenshot app.
Just going out on a limb here, but I think she is really just talking about the Razr and is just confused or maybe thinks that what will happen with the Razr will apply to the dx2.

Because of that 1% nobody knows if she is right or wrong. NOBODY. You cannot say she is wrong without knowing the facts yourself and why not hold onto that glimmer of hope, if you read the original post I did ask for opinions, but I did not ask for your opinion on the validity of threads.
I see that you agree that this is most likely false, but it was taking up a lot of space in a different thread and I for one am interested enough to try to find out more.
I told everyone I am willing to attempt all of the tests once the soak/actuall update come out so if we can unlock the bootloader before that even happens I would be in heaven, I hate Moto Blur....

Yeah I'm not sure how I missed this either, but reading through her posts she seems to be extremely confused about things. I'm not sure how one can be aware of or unlock their phone and not know how to get a screenshot app.
Just going out on a limb here, but I think she is really just talking about the Razr and is just confused or maybe thinks that what will happen with the Razr will apply to the dx2.

You are correct, I am hoping she is right and that it is an exe and we can somehow apply it to the X2.

That's exactly what I thought. Id like to know how and why she got the unlock from Verizon and not Motorola, cause correct me if I'm wrong but Verizon does nothing in the development and design side if things.

Lol man I did not read back that far this morning. I so wish that was true. With that being said I do not think there is any way in hell we would get all this by end of the month. My wife's bionic would get it first. Like I said if it ever happens it will be when I am onto my next phone. I have till October but been watching eBay I might snag a gnexus if the price is right then no contract.

I sent her a PM this morning, hopefully we get an answer sometime today.
"I'm getting too old for this ****".
Its been almost a year since release and they've been yanking us around. The only way I'll have an unlocked phone anytime soon is if I get a free one from my complaint to BBB.

I honestly agree with you that I think this is too good, but I hope to figure out if this is real or false, she hasn't been back but that could be of a certain person that has scared her off. Maybe we should pm her about this and see if she can share anything with us through that...

Dunno who that coulda been
I may have gone a little overboard with the flaming, but she hit a nerve. Not getting into it again, just wanted to apologize.
Nah, I'm kidding. Good riddance.
Even ignoring the insults between myself and her, I don't think it's debatable at this point whether or not she's a troll (or equally possible: horribly, horribly confused).
I think my summary from that thread summed it up pretty efficiently.
theredvendetta said:
So let me recap.
We have an illiterate Droid Razr owner posting on the Droid X2 forums about talking on the phone with a Verizon representative about an unlocked bootloader (even though Verizon doesn't do jack **** with android) for their phone, which is a Razr, even though she claims it will work for an X2 (actually she hasnt, she just posts about it in the X2 forums. The ****?). This person tells us that the unlock our phones, and it will come alongside an ICS distro at the end of April.
Okay, cool, I didn't believe a word of it, but that at least is a possibility worth considering. That is, until they posted more information.
So as we ask her more about why she's in our forums and why the Verizon rep would have this information (keep in mind, a rep would never have this information if even Motorola reps don't), and she drops a bombshell: she's got an unlocked bootloader. OUT OF ****ING NOWHERE. Not ONCE before this did she care to mention she was unlocked. This contradicts everything she said before this; why does she have it now if it's coming at the end of April.
Alright, let's move on.
So apparently, she found this bootloader unlock on the Verizon site. Again, this contradicts her own story in more ways than I care to mention. Not only that, but Verizon would NOT be in possession of such a tool. It's not as if they even know how to work with Android; they are a service provider!
And finally, she presents us with a file she claims she found on the Verizon site (which she did not) and that it will allow us to unlock our bootloader by entering (this is what I could decipher) a series of ones and then a string of 7 random numbers and letters.
K. I don't know why anyone is still trying. This is worthless. It seems I'm the only voice of reason whenever people try to troll us. This is what, the third time? Fourth? I can't remember.

Its cool Lite,
I knew this would happen one way or another, we are in the X2 forums you know
But as for you tkuligowski, I asked that we discuss the possibility that she is right, not the emotions involved in our entire forum or if she was a troll. I appreciate your opinion but unless you can actually contribute something useful to this thread please cease posting here.
It is annoying that you already began something I asked the community not to do on the first page of the freaking thread.
On a side note, I sent a PM to a couple of people to try to get MischiefsMommy out of her hole again.

Are you serious you post a thread asking for peoples opinions on this and then you want me to not post because you don't like my opinion, or because it isn't what you intended for people to post? What you posted in your thread left this open for discussion. My opinion is its complete BS. Like someone said if we get an unlocked boot loader someone will have the tool or the means and post it. Not dance around answers and complain about migraines. Why even feed into it?
Also yes I do have a gnex but I still have my x2 and use it frequently at home. I too want an unlocked bootloader.

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.

Can you elaborate please. Do you mean you saw a method to get MM if you're rooted and can you please provide a link?

yeah....first thing that pops up if you click the link is a "complete this survey to continue"-site. I call this BS. Sadly. I'm not even sure if we'll ever see Marshmallow on this device...

No, it´s spam. You don´t have to go through all the hops n stuff, u can go through as often as you wish, you never (!) get a link. That software just doesn´t exist. It´s just another fishing website as you find em all over the web.
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.
