I would love to see That sexy UI of Honeycomb on my Steak 5inch. Anyone think Dell or Someone will Be able to get it working on Our Streaks? I mean it is a Tablet lol!
I wudnt be counting on dell to do it...they launched their new tablet with 2.2, not even 2.3...honeycomb seems far far away..
I'd like to see the email app migrated over - unsure about the rest to be honest.

I wasn't blown away by the 3.0 demo.
As long as my device is snappy and has ability to run the latests apps... I'm pleased.
Hopefully people will financially support DJ_Steve, and he'll keep the goodies coming.

ya Hopefully steve can at least give us the UI look cause it is for sure like or dislike but i really like the simple look of it and would love to at least see a ROM with Honeycomb look.
I also want one....

Honeycombs and Steak? Is this a tech forum or an online grocer?
I personally like the galaxy tab email app. I have it on my captivate right now, can't wait to see how it is on my streak when I get it next week

Were can I find this app? I want to try it since I'm not satisfied with any of the apps that are currently available.

The Streak 5 hasn't got the screen size to fully utilise the OS especially the all new browser with it's built in widgets.

Android 3.0 is going to be available for all android devices, it's just up to the manufacturer to accommodate the new UI and features to the screen size. I think the Streak would be a great candidate for some UI improvements, 2.2 doesn't do it justice, even with non-stock launchers.
+1 for me.
Love to see honeycomb on Dell Streak 5.^^

Steve just posted the email app from the Galaxy Tab for the Streak over at Modaco.
Can you post a link? I've searched but can't seem to find it.

+1 for HoneyComb Streak 5
Honeycomb would be amazing on the streak
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
i love the UI so much it looks cleaner then Regular Android, even the ones like Sense and Stage. Its just my opinion but i like how everything is professional with the black and greys
As long as any new firmware is snappy as 2.2, supports all the apps, I don't care what version it is.
+1
I'm just about to pull the trigger on purchasing a Dell Streak 5 and one of the major deciding factors is that it will be upgradeable to honeycomb.
... through dell or through xda... I don't care how I just want my device to be upgradeable.

you have to go to that link directly from your phone in order for it to download people i emailed it to myself or if you click on it from your phone it should work the same
i'm guessing this is a reminder to everyone that Fennec is still in alpha?
I just installed it and "imeatejely" removed it......i will try it again when its final.
Not really a reminder its an apk download, and yeah its pretty bad right now and I uninstalled it almost right away but it looks pretty nice.

This reminds me of back when I used Windows Mobile and the Mozilla team tried to put together a Mozilla mobile browser. Went through several alphas/betas and never ran worth a crap.
Let's hope they do a better job with Android, but from the sound of it, they're off to the typical start.
Runs slow

Alpha or not, that is dog slow. I tend to lean toward another failed Moz mobile. A good alpha is reasonably fast but crippled, buggy, and crash prone.
Tried it yesterday and it's pretty awful. Locked up my phone twice. Had to pull my battery out to fix it. Nice features but not worth a damn in it's current state. However it inspired me to try dolphin again which I'm starting to like.
I'm optimistically hoping beta will be better....

Nearly as bad as the pre alpha release. It literally took it 3 times longer to render englishrussia.com over 3g. Everytime I'd fructose double tap to zoom it'd freeze and wouldn't scroll, checkboarding all over the place. Kept It for less than 10 minutes. Lets pray beta is better.

Since upgrading to 2.1 all I have been rocking is the Nexus live wallpaper. I have tried plenty others, but they either dont play well with orientation switching in ADW or they seriously eat up battery power. In fact, most wallpapers that I have downloaded tend to get my Streak a little warm just from sitting at the home screen for a minute or two.
So for those rocking 2.1, what live wallpapers have you found to work great?

I just use the nexus wall paper, there are a couple others i use galactic core recommended from another thread i think along with silhouette
Both really nice, and not heavy on the battery at all
Oh and flying toasters is a good one too, not sure abt the battery useage on that one tho
City at Night is amazing on the Dell Streak...
I also use the Thunderstorm live wallpaper but it seems pixelated... but not too bad
Try the Droid X ADW theme. Looks great on Streak!

Weatherbug takes forever to load and loop radar. Radar now works really good but on the streak its really small. So I'm looking for something like radar now that is full screen.

Here we go again in the north east with another big snow storm. Sure would be nice to check radar updates while out there plowing the highways with a better radar app. I found redsky weather but its very limited and loads a little slow. Still looking for something like radar now but big enough that I can actually see detail in full screen
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
If your s ay ing that the app appears too small on your streak(the top left coner and doesn't extend the full length) it's because the applicagion was made for a different dpi. Changing your dpi will correct thos. Or you can messagw the developer to correct this as alot of apps don't utilize the fukl screen of our streak.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Thats exactly what im saying. I have emailed the developer but there has got to be some others like it out there. Its the best working radar app i have found, pertaining to load time and details it displays, its just the size needs to be fixed
I have the same issue with "Radar Now". It won't scale to the screen size.
Perhaps if everyone emailed the developer, he could update it.
I'm sure he has a small screen, and sized it accordingly.
weatherbug takes a bit to load if you turn off the auto update feature, but if you give it a minute to load, it is fine.

I have weather bug set to auto update every half hour and it still takes a while for it to load the animated radar.
I emailed the developed of radar now and he sent back a reply saying he doesn't have a test device.

Looks very good but got flashing keys and rebooted my phone after 30 secs. Weird.
Has anyone on here been able too see the new movie rental option in the Market? Ive been reading about it, and ive got to say im interested. Although Im not if I might prefer a monthly flat rate fee like NetFlix. Google's cloud service is a definite advantage though. Sounds interesting, and I for one am glad there is another way to stream / download movies too our big screens.

I'll second that
i had not looked for it as i read that rooted devices were been blocked from using it.....?
Ya ive read tge gossip concerning rooted devices, but so far from what i read its still speculative. I hope its not true. Either way im pretty confident in the android dev community and their abilities to find a work around.

I've been getting bored with my phone, not because its a older phone now but it just doesn't have that fun factor it had when I first got it.
Are there any new apps that make your phone exciting? I find myself doing the same thing over and over, go into the 9gag app look at memes, read the news a bit, go on xda, text etc.
Get an android tablet and root it. Thats what I did after getting tired of messing with this phone.

I always keep looking for random games. Sometimes go back for old ones and replay haha. Glad there's still development going on for this phone. Trying to hold out for that gs3
Glad to see xrider and mrrobc still hanging in the vibrant forums. But honestly no matter what device you use you will get bored of it eventually. I have 6 devices most do the same thing.
However what I enjoy is HDMI my fave games like mc3 to my bigscreen with surround sound. To me its way more challenging to any console I've played.

I bought a transformern too. Prime is full of bugs with crappy GPS and wifi (you have to be nearly sitting on top of your router) and ICS is extremely buggy. The Prime was nothing more than ASUS getting the Tegra3 chip out before anyone else, but with massive sacrifices.
Manus - PMe me when you get yours and I will get you some link to rooting and recovery. There are 3 different ways depending on your build number.

How about an obscure body in the S-K System? You can play with it awhile...before annihilation.

You could flash MIUI, which has tons of themes avadible. Plus if you dont like having any launcher, you could just install one from the market.
