Greetings and Happy New Year to ALL! I have been trying to find the newest DSC ROM 2.2 but the links are dead. Same for the Simple Streak 1.3... Anyone know where I can find these links live or any new 2013 DS5 ROMS in production at all? I know the SAMSUNG Galaxy phones and bleah bleah bleah but I love my DS5... Any thoughts? Thank you.
My thought is that you tried getting DSC while the Internet was acting wonky. Try it again because the links do work, if a bit slow. Any and all Froyo ROMs like SimpleStreak will not be maintained and are essentially obsolete with the release of Gingerbread.
Still lookin'....

I just tried this Simple Streak 1.3 link (The only one I could find): http://rom.spidla.info/Dell Streak 5/Simple Streak/SimpleStreak_13_TESTING5.zip and it is still down. Do you know of another that works? Thanks.
I don't know of one, and given that a majority of Streak users are using a flavor of Gingerbread, I won't be looking either.
Install DSC or a CM7 ROM and don't bother with the Froyo ROMs.

Anybody tried this ? http://dellstreakhacks.com/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices-dell-streak.html
I have tried it on mine and it doesn't seem to work - unless I am doing it incorrectly....
If you ready they are stating that it is running 2.2 (froyo)
Complete Bulls**t
The article is misleading. It does install, but it won't play flash on your browser. Or at least not on mine. So technically what the article states is true.
Yep I am boycotting that site from now on
It seems like the Dell Streak (aka Mini 5) has already ran Flash 10.1
I came across this link: h ttp://jaxov.com/2010/03/flash-10-1-preview-on-dell-mini-5-tablet/
As you can see it is running full 10.1 flash very smothly, just like my Nexus one. Not sure if it is running android 1.6 but I tend to think it is running 2.2 looking at the status bar.

I believe that the flash you see in that video was still in beta and so could run on any android versions. After it came out of beta you could only run it with froyo, maybe because of the tactics of adobe and google. Technically, I can't seem to find the reason why it would not run on other android versions, but that's just my thoughts.
Flash must also work on 2.1 because I already had a 2.1 build for my hd2 with flash working completely but I have no idea how they did it! Maby they had cooked it into the rom?!

The embedded froyo 2.2 that comes with qdl too, does that work perfectly fine and flawless with AT&T dell streak? or are there some things that just don't work on there?
I have an ATT Streak and used QDL with no issues. After playing with it for a while, I took the plunge and upgraded to DJ_Steve's Streakdroid 1.5.1
If you want the best from your device...I suggest you do the same, but make sure you do your homework....search is your friend!
Meh I havent rolled to the sreakdroid rom yet lol. Im still rocking out the stock. And I think its fairly smooth.

Used the stock software for a while and thought it was decent. Went to DJ Steve's 1.5.1 and realized how misguided I actually was. It turned what I thought was a worthless device on 1.6 and a decent device on 2.2 to absolute phone/tablet nirvana on DJ Steve's 1.5.1. I will never use AT&T stock software ever again for any purpose. It's shameful that they can spend such massive amounts of time with the resources they have and only come up with that while DJ Steve can work in his free time and come up with something that rapes AT&T development. Shameful.

certainly not trying to defend the Death Star here, but thought I might correct your thinking...
ATT doesnt make roms
Perhaps not, but they sure are damn good at delaying them, and then removing features (tether) and then making up for it with useless bloat that sometimes can't be removed without cooking up your own ROM anyway...
F U AT&T
I am just glad I took the plunge with the QDL method and didn't wait for the "official" from them. It has been pushed back to January now. I am using the "stock" 2.2 and not sure I am going to Steve's, even though I appreciate his efforts VERY much.
QDL is automated? Sounds good. Does your GPS work on AT&T? Specifically with navigation in Google Maps.
Use QDL, then update from 309 (which is what is on qdl?) to the 318 version, which for me was much faster than 309

Is your bluetooth voice dial working in 318?

I have updated to the posted 2.2 (318) rom and everything went perfectly. I originally updated with QDL first and then to 318 (QDL put on a strange build I could not locate in searches).
Everything is good (I don't like stage ui thought), Except. . . the bluetooth dial app does not "hear" anything or it is just plain broken. I can use voice dial with the phone alone, but if I connect the bluetooth and do the long press (Jawbone Icon) to get to voice dialing, it starts up and either crashes (force close) or it sits there "listening" until it times/errors out.
The error is LogService has stopped working process (com.oem)
I have seen posts on other forums from people with different phones having the same issues but NO fix or work around.
It seems to me it must be something in the hook between the bluetooth service and the voice dial app.
Maybe someone has found a fix or a working replacement for voice dial that works over bluetooth, assuming its the app and not the bluetooth services.
sad owner of Dell Streak Droid 1.6 now happy 2.2 thanks to XDA Dev
I was ready to return my streak back to bestbuy until a friend of my show me this site. he uses an HTC so he is very good at Droid, Im a newbie by the way. Just switch from iPhone 4 to Dell Streak and Im not coming back. I was tired of waiting for Dell update so we decided to try to get the 2.2 from UK and Oh! man, we were amaze how this new software works on my Streak. I love it! Thanks guy! now you have a new member. by the way Im a business owner of a pc place Im also a computer programmer and Technology guru so I'll be sending many people your way. Thanks again.
Glad you kept it! I was pretty happy with 1.6, but when at&t/Dell opted to "delay" the 2.2 update (I think it was more at&t than Dell), I said screw it, let's give it a try. Updated to v309, then got v318 on and it's like a completely different device!
just done flashing. not sure which path to go.. official Dell 2.2 or Dj 1.5.2.
Dell is easier but heard Dj is a cool one.
I'm on 309, haven't update to 318 yet.
What are the benefits really?
Bug fixes mainly.

I've heard some people have had battery problems, wireless problems etc with 318. What is FC?
I am currently 1.6.0 and I love it. the only problem I have is that a couple of games won't install any more. I tried 1.6.1 but it went nuts with constant FC. But I didn't do a factory reset on it before I install it. I read on a couple of forums that the rom does work better if you do this. It did for me too. So I wonder if I should try a higher streakdroid rom for better result.
My question is; what is the best streakdroid rom? Is the highest one the best one or the more experimental one?
Each one brings new fixes and sometimes new issues. I'm using 1.7.0 and love it. I did a refash to stock 309 then upgraded to 318 then 1.7.0 before in did any configuration. Zero issues for me I'm not using the perfmod btw
Dell Streak powered by StreakDroid 1.7.0
I upgraded from the stock 1.6 to Steve's 1.6.0 rom a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. It's such a massive improvement that it was worth it to spend a few days reading about it first and risk bricking my phone to install it.
Since then, however, I try to keep up to date with the newer versions and there are so many people with issues like the boot loops, instability, FCs, lost wifi, etc. that I keep asking myself if it's worth it to upgrade. I don't want to spend hours reinstalling everything as well. This is a 400$ device after all, and thechnically it's not under warranty anymore so is the reward really worth the potential risks?
Can anybody share their impressions with 1.6.1 and 1.7.0 versus 1.6.0?
Thanks Archeob, you worded it better than my what I was trying to say. I love 1.6 too. I tried the 1.6.1 but it went crazy with FC's. But maybe again because I didn't do the factory reset.
So a a list of con's and pro's per rom would be great if available?

why not just do a nandroid backup, and then flash the roms for yourself?
I did that thanks. I am now on 1.7 and some of the apps that didn't on 1.6.0 do now. Till now I am pretty happy with the 1.7
went to 1.6.0 from stock white streak......happy with it....and have not seen a reason to upgrade to newer rom yet.....im waiting for front facing video chat to work....when theres a working rom for that,ill be upgrading to it.

What do you mean work? Work through camera app? Work with fring? The ffc works fine in 1.7.0 its apps like fringe that need to update to work with it. Btw ooVoo works fine with the ffc.
Dell Streak powered by StreakDroid 1.7.0
My ffc also didn't on 1.6.0. Not even with oovoo. It does work on 1.7 for me. But I didn't figured yet how to get the ffc to work with Tango. Seems that this is working for some people.
first and foremost i would like to say that i LOVE the community yolu guys got going on here, i am a recent switcher from iphone, to the dell streak 5 and it was one of the best switches ive ever made, now i just have a few questions, i have figured out pretty much everything but the baseband thing i am wondering about, currently i am toronto canada and i have a rogers dell streaK 5 running on streakdroid 1.9, setcpu overclocked to 1.19ghz and 318 baseband, now i been reading around, now should i update to 351 as people were saying or should i stay bhere on 318? also i noticed when i got this phone i didnt check to see which version i already had, are the earlier versions of dj steves streak droid factory overclocked in the kernal? if so which version was it and what was it clocked at by default? i am just wondering if i am getting the full potential out of my phone, also which launcher is everyones favorite? also is there an app to see which apps are taking up how much CPU, and not just ram?
thank you so much in advance
-Davey
There are no stock overclocked roms as fast as I know. If you just got the phone and it was brand new, it likely had a baseband newer than 318.
Posted with StreakZilla, using XDA App.
First off davey, welcome aboard. To answer your questions...
1. If you're running Streakdroid 1.9, DJSteve recommends updating to a specific baseband. The link for this baseband he provides in the Streakdroid 1.9 thread.
2. I do not know if earlier versions of Streakdroid were overclocked. My best guess is that they were. My opinion is that you do not gain much by overclocking in any event. I have a Streak with a rooted 351. The phone runs a heck of a lot faster just by ditching Dell's Stage UI, the Dell Sync program, and a few other programs Dell put into the ROM.
3. I believe you are using the phone to its full potential.
4. Watchdog Lite can tell you what percentage of CPU cycles are taken up by a particular app.

Most appreciated with your response, and i thank you kindly for welcoming to the community, the baseband 351 everyone is saying is better on battery life and wifi connection, that sort of thing, so i appreciate you leading me twoard there, question though, the QDL utility or whatever it is that you use to flash the baseband, where might i obtain it? when i bought the phone , fastboot was already on there so luckily i dont have to install that myself, but im not sure where to get the utility for my computer so that i may update the baseband once in the fastboot mod, now to get rid of the dell stage UI, do i have to completly redo my rom or might i be able too just uninstall it somehow without having to revamp my stuff again, because i know if i nandroid the backup that it will still include the dell stage ui since i have that during the nandroid backup, again thank you so much for your help!, and thanks again for the tip on the app download i have been looking for such things! , also one more question, how might i also remove the dell sync program? is that also available through the actual OS?
Much love!
-David
It should be in the development forum, but I would recommend doing a search for it on the forums because I don't know exactly where it is. I personally have no reason to use it, because I don't use StreakDroid (rooted 351 with Stage UI and bloatware removed).
You can use a program like Titanium Backup or Root Explorer to remove the .apk files for the programs you want to remove.

WOW thank you so much titanium backup worked great! now for my last question, right now i have baseband 31800, should i upgrade to the 351? or what do you think?
Hello, I wonder has anyone made a Donut rom for the Hero/G2 Touch (GSM)? It's more than three years old and it still doesn't have a donut rom?
All these fancy gingerbreads and jelly beans make my hero pretty slow (even O.C. to 748mhz) and the Modacco 1.5 rom is outdated just for the 0.1 (most software is incompatible with cupcake but is with donut)
So... If anyone finds a link to download, please post it here. The only link I've found isn't working because it's from 2009.
Thanks up front :good:
Nope, i dont think that there is any, get on these forums for a couple of days, there will be a killer froyo sense ROM, im just having some troubles with GPS and camera, usual froyo issues...
