Dell Venue...custom ROM,plz help. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys
i need some serious help.
i bought dell venue 2.2.2 a month back,and i found update on dell site,which i did and it got upgraded to Android 2.3.3
i love my phone,but just because of its so short battery time(also lots of apps jumping in background even when i am not using them,obviously this might be the cause of sucking the battery) i am getting fed up and thinking to sell it and buy some other phone,particularly not Android.i have also same experiences with iOS and i dislike it for its dependency on iTunes.Nokia and BlackBerry are better,they have better battery life but lack of app market makes you confused what to do?
i am a newbie to Android.i found posts on rooting and custom ROMs.
so please guide me,how can i install custom Android 4 on my Dell venue,i read somewhere on blog that an Android update doesn't mean it is also available for any phone but custom ROMs can be possible.
please help me for this so that i may continue using this phone.
regards
awais.

Opps 2.1 on Dell streak

Recently I am going through almost all the post regarding Dell streak. And at Madaco there was this newbie who claimed to have 2.1 on his streak ( now that sound funny), a newbie with 2.1 lol  anyways I think almost everyone including some senior members may I include Paul as well  have given him hard time .Finally every one asked him to post the pictures of his streak and guess what he posted his dell streak.
Everyone’s jaws are still on floor
Here is the link http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-2-1-for-streak-is-coming-closer-than-before/
Sorry for being sarcastic
Edit Just checked it this guy even said i have Built 6267 1.6, he put pics of that as well
http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/314140/new-rom-v-6267/
I think this guy is 2 steps ahead from all of us or may be 3 people who are still on 3xxxx
He said he has a friend who is working on the Streak development team. Seems pretty legit to me.
Don't count on him leaking it though as he "doesn't want to ruin his friends career", which is pretty good of him tbh. I don't think i'd have that level of self control

Considering the Dell Streak Development team consists of about 8 people, don't you think it would be Dell's priority to see which dev's friend is leaking images? They did say they are active on websites concerning the Streak.
I wouldn't have that level of self control. Release it please!

That is the great thing about HTC their images leak on purpose.... Dell is not handling this well at all, but what choice do we have for a 5" device?
Dell Streak "UI Team" has 8 people. His contact could be someone from one of many, many people working on the Streak.
why do the only allow six icons on 2.1
Creating system.img for 2.1, is it possible?
Is it possible to create a system.img based on 2.1 or 2.2 from android sources for Dell Streak? Has anybody tried it? I don't need the Google propietary parts, just to OSS part...
Has anybody tried? Any reference docs for it?
Thanks in advance,

I'm trying it now again, now I'm back..
I'm trying the codearoura git, basic instructions on their site..
https://www.codeaurora.org/xwiki/bin/QAEP/
also have a look at the cyanogenmod wiki for some decent building instructions, that can be adapted.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_from_source
plus theres this
http://pdk.android.com/online-pdk/guide/build_system.html
so far not playing nicely, and progress is hampered because I can't get fastboot boot to work (which is a way of temporarily flashing a kernel and ramdisk) so I have to manually flash the boot.img every time it doesnt boot.

[Q] Noob

Hi all, just bought a streak 5 and just joined the forum, my stupid question is about rooting. I previously had and have a n900 and just want to run maemo/ meego or ubuntu on this streak , is rooting just like having the x-terminal on the n900 where I can get in and fek around? Also there appears to be a few ways to root ,whats the best or do I just get a terminal from..android market. Finally anyone running meego on a streak_ cos to be fair it was a bit buggy and limited on the n900. Sorry for being so dense

[Q] Huawei Boulder 8350 : more recent Android version ?

Hi,
I've looked around the forums and haven't found an answer to that. I'm a complete noob concerning Android phones, so sorry if my question is silly (or already has an answer somewhere).
It's quite simple : I wanna buy a Huawei Boulder 8350 for my girlfriend. It's got almost the perfect offer for her as it seems to be very good for its price tag.
I just wanna know : is it possible to install newer Android versions on it ? It is advertised as a Froyo 2.2 phone, but it would be cool to put Gingerbread or even a newer droid version on it.
If yes, is it doable via a simple update on the phone or does it have to be "hacked" or something ?
Thank you very much.
Please ? Anyone ?

Hello nitwo,
For the moment, there is no new version of Android for this cell.
Some people have noticed that the u8350 is sold under the name of "Express from Sprint" with a gingerbread 2.3 version. But sprint is using CDMA and in europe we're using GSM. Maybe a port is possible.
Also, officialy there is no Android 2.3 for this cell, and some websites are reporting that we're never going to see an official 2.3.
Maybe, we're going to have a 2.3 version, but not officially. But, we need to wait for the community ...
Btw, for 45euros in france (with Bouygue cash back), this is a pretty nice phone.
Any news ?
