hey guys, hopefully this isnt a repost of a common older thread that i couldnt find. im new to android and have only been playing around on friend's devices and i've finally decided that i need a new phone. i'm currently using a nokia n95-3, very good device despite its age. i've read a lot of reviews on the streak and there are quite a few mixed reviews out there.
so the reason for my post here is to find out, should i get a streak. the reasons i like it right now is the screen size and android. and what i'm looking to ask you guys is what is your most favourite thing about the streak and also you biggest grievance with it. i figured coming here to ask would be best since everyone is a streak user so please also include the length of time you have been using or used the streak. thanks for your help guys and look forward to the input.

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.

Hey everyone,
I just got an Xperia X10a off a friend off mine who upgraded to a different phone. I had a Captivate, but my gf broke it... I've been digging around this section of XDA and was wondering if there are any "complete" roms out for the X10 with android 2.2. I mean with everything functioning? I've seen a lot with some bugs still. I've read that this phone is a lot more difficult development wise than the Galaxy S line.

Because all Rome created with one person in a little time officially they spend alot of time to create anew com with professional engineers to create it and have bug's
Have a look at dev section and have fun
Anyone out explain the issue with the bluetooth pairing on this thing. I've tried to pair a couple different phones but no cigar. I looked all over this forum to see if there was a fix but haven't seen a solution only other complaints. When I flash to a new ROM will that fix the poblem? If not how? What did you guys do?
Are you trying to use stock rom? Most people here have no idea how stock rom performs with most functions.
You might want to visit my page gtab for dummies.
Awesome website!
I checked out your web site earlier today from the reply you gave me last night on some other stuff. I can't tell you enough how appreciated this site is. I read every last word of each section and have a much better understanding. I would like to have a better understanding of each ROM. Like what would make me choose one over another? They have to be reasons to pick one over another. What does one do that the others don't? On your web site a brief description of each one could help us dummies know which one would serve our needs better. It's just an idea that could cut down on future questions. I love the site and will be visiting often. Thanks for all of that effort GoodIntentions!
Good idea.
Pros and cons
I thought about this a bit more. Maybe a list of the pros and cons for each ROM could help. If I knew the down side for each ROM it would definitely push me in one direction or another.
I agree with the Pros and Cons idea, I'm in the process of trying to work one up, but alas its seems my knowledge has become slightly outdated don't you hate that? Running CM7, I've got lots of cons but compared to what I had before I stuck with it. Switching to VeganTab I'll let you know how that goes but I'm thinking it may be a permanent switch.
I've never had any trouble pairing with my phone with the roms I tried. Make sure your gtab is visible.
Hello, I got my Dell streak 3 days ago and I love the device (rooted and unlocked already, enough to use-it as a day to day phone and ditch my nexus one).
I do however miss the active development the Nexus one had, since back in my earlier IT days I did some linux kernel dev, I was wondering if there is any pointers to get started and what are the biggest issues encountered (missing drivers, etc) from the current gingerbread releases and how could I contribute.
This seems to be the only gingerbread development thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091236

Ignore jitin02. He's annoyed because the Streak's primary developer, DJ Steve, *****slapped him on twitter after pissing DJ Steve off by begging for a ROM.
You're better off asking DJ Steve himself what he needs help with, rather than relying on secondhand information. maximoz I believe linked to the appropriate thread in the development forum already.

Oh, I forgot to mention that jitin02 gets a little touchy when the topic is brought up, as you can see in his response to you and I. I wonder if it's because I told the OP to not listen to someone who knows just enough about ROMs to be dangerous and to go to the source instead?
pibleck,
please feel free to get involved with the GB code, we do have the alpha code from them, but there's a couple of stumbling blocks.
I'm having serious issues with how Dell are using the sensors code.
they are using a sensors_daemon to feed the input into one device, which isn't how the GB system works, so at a low level the sensors all work fine, but android isnt playing at all with them.
What I'd like to do (but am struggling with) is a way to get rid of this silly system that appears to use "misc drivers" and set them up as standard dev/input ones individually instead.
best to discuss it on irc #dellstreak or Pm me here..
I'll PM you incase you dont see this post.
Jitin unfortunately is one of those people who sees a leg sticking out by the end of a wall and runs around screaming that people have been murdered and no-ones doing anything about it..
rather than going and investigating for himself and realising its just someone having a quite snooze out of the sun
I wanted to thank you guys, and everyone else that hangs around the Eris section for all the help. If it weren't for all the work that went into this phone I'm fairly certain I would have thrown mine out a window a long time ago. Though I moved up to the GNexus, I'll still be hanging around here for a while to see whats going on and maybe help test a few things.
hello,
Im a new geek from Indonesia
this is my first post, and Eris is my first android too..
hope will learn something here.
