i got a dell streak 5 as a gift, unbeknownst to me it is running a stock froyo 2.2.2 (baseband 347).
bug:
the camera seems to freeze at times when i try to click a pic. The secondary camera and the video recorder are working just fine. Is there a way to fix the camera bug. i thought it could be because of my SD card, so i formatted it and i tried again.. seems to be the same... is there a fix??
ive rooted the device and have removed all the bloatware and have been searching for a custom rom for a quite some time and im not able to find a link to a custom rom in the forum.
Is there a custom rom for my dell streak 5, froyo 2.2.2, baseband GAUB1A134700 build 15274. ??
Or am i jus stuck with this until i get a good phone
Thanks
Click on the "Traveller DSC ROM" link in my signature to be taken to my custom Gingerbread ROM for the Streak. Also check the Android Development forum here in Dell Streak land. My ROM is but one of many being offered here.

Anyone know where i can get the official streak stock froyo 318 baseband from? im tring to go to stock 2.2. i got one rom thats supposed to be the update but there is a problem with the contacts. they not there, i add them and nothing. i can dial the number and it shows the contact but nothing in the contacts list or favs or anything. doesnt anyone know a fix for this or have a place where i can get a diff rom? i know QDT tools has 2.2 but its not the 318 baseband its the oldest version and i believe its a beta rom its slow and laggy and lacks performance.
thanks
Matt

me and and my brother both have a dell streak 5...
i installed clean GB 3 from the modaco site....
i installed it and after seeing that it was superb, tried giving it to my brother's streak, but every now and then his streak keeps rebooting.... but mine runs perfectly fine..... so i did alot of reading here and there and reflashed baseband's, recovery's, amss's and dsp1's countless times... all relating to the same builds each time....
but still no luck.... still reboots after flashing led's
just wanted to know if its possible to extract the very baseband, recovery, amss and dsp1 from my dell streak and put it into his.... after all every streak has the same hardware right? its just something is not right with the installation of the OS....
and think amss n baseband are the same .... right?
help....
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
oh sorry about that
well anyone with suggestions....?
Sounds like you may not be.flashing correctly. First thing I would suggest is to flash a stock Gingerbread ROM so.as to synchronize the rest of the system files
Hi Guys
I have been out of the Dell Streak Sceen for a while so wonder if you guys can help me out. I have a DS 5 bought UK version, running 2.2.2 with dj steves room 2.6.32.9, I flashed to this rom a long time ago but never really got on with it. GPS not working etc and I gave up using he phone.
Recently I had to use it again as my work phone is broken. I would like to give it a update.
So I would like to know what is currently the stablest ROM? If not i will go back to Stock O2.
Maybe just some hints and guides in what i should do to flash it back as I am so out of it now. It is still on DJ Steves old old rom.
many thanks

CM7.2.0 is the one ive been using for a long while now... its the most stable imo
DSC is another excellent choice.
P.S. Next time, post in the correct forum. Questions like this do not belong in the development forum.
Hi guys,
(sorry if my words aren't clear, please tell me if any of what I say isn't undestandabble)
Yesterday I installed FeraLabs ICS v2.2 ROM in my x10a. Great ROM, I fell in love with android 4 and cyanogemod, it was my first contact with both. But I had some problems using it, some apps not working, others freezing the entire system, can't send SMS etc. I know that probably most of these bugs already have fixes, the ROM is being developed etc, but I decided that it's not for me yet, this is my main phone and I need it rock solid for day to day use.
So I decided to try some GB rom. But there are a lot of ROMs out there, and I couldn't find a thread answering what's the best for my case, so I'm gonna ask fro suggestions. =D
Here's what I need:
- A stable ROM, fully compatible with my x10a;
- Based on cyanogemod;
- If possible, faster than stock 2.3 ROM;
- If possible, less power-consuming than stock 2.3 ROM, but it's the least important feature (got a 3500mAh battery);
- I personnally don't like the Sony UI improvemments and general bloatwares. I like google default apps and UI. Also used a LG p500 for a year, liked a lot the LG punctual customizations;
- It can have bugs about video recording, I don't use it much;
- It can't have bugs with 3g, wifi, calling and texting (hehehe);
So, what flavors should I try?
Thank you all. ;D
Donut HD 2.2 it's faster than stock and cm and works perfect with good battery life 2

Hi,
Thanks for helping.
Looking at the instructions in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30999560&postcount=1167). Will it run OK with the feralabs kernel that is currently is installed in my system? Shouldn't I change hte kernel?
If yes, what kernel should I flash?
Hi guys,
I flashed doomkernel, booted to xRecovery, installed the doomkernel wifi module from zip, booted again to xRecovery, installed the donuthd, booted again, installed donuthd, booted to xRecovery and installed donuthd update.
It's really fast, I've never used and android this fast. I'm currently installing my apps, wanna see if it will keep great at night. =D
But I've seen a problem:
My sms messages aren't being delivered, just like happened with Feralabs ICS 2.2 rom. Anyone got this problem? Does this have some relation with my phone being a x10a (and now it's appearing in in my system settings as x10i) ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi again,
Today I cleaned up my phone and tried to install donutHD + doomkernel again. Everything worked ok, except sending and receiving SMS messages. So I flashed back 2.1 stock firmware and 2.3 (GB) stock firmware, and SMS sending/receiving worked fine again, in both versions.
Does anybody has any clue about what can be happening? When I installed donutHD (about 3 times), I was in 2.1 stock firmware, root/busybox/xrecovery from Flashtool (newest version). The same problem ocurred with the Feralabs ICS v2.2 ROM with feralabs kernel for ICS.
I also tried to flash the 2.3th kernel n5-1 (comming from 2.1 stock firmware), but it got frozen in SE screen, during boot. Even xrecovery couldn't open. =/
=========================== edited:
Problem solved: As observed I was upgrading from 2.1 stock ROM to DonutHD. Doing this upgrade coming from android 2.3 stock ROM, the SMS sending/receiving works like a charm. =D
i have offical gingerbread rom (olleh) in my dell streak i am bored from this rom ... can anyone plz tell me which is the best custom rom for dell streak which have all the things working correctly .... and also plz tell me the procedure how can i move on further to custom rom ... Thanks ... plz help
The best ROM is subjective, but DSC ROM is perhaps the most complete and functional ROM available, being based off the official Gingerbread ROM. I personally use hPA's CyanogenMod 7 with the current Phoenix Kernel. However, on that ROM the WiFi on rare occasions gives out and needs to be reset by putting the Streak into Airplane Mode, and there is no HDMI port support.
Best way to find out is to try them yourself, but you'll have to actually look through the forums for the answers, as they have already been posted more times than I care to count. In other words, search before you post.
