This the best place to be? - Streak 5 General

Is this the place to be for the streak or is there any thing better out there dedicated to the streak. Just got mine yesterday. Upgrade to 2.1 already and am well underway thanks to xda and its members. Can't wait for the update from well.

Modaco is the home of DJ Steve, the guy who is almost entirely behind the custom froyo roms available.

Well there are several places. I'm an old WinMo user, so of course my vote is XDA . XDA proves to be very helpful and is my #1 recommendation. But that's no reason to not branch out to other helpful forums. Other forums I visit:
http://android.modaco.com/category/436/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/ - Modoco, seems to lean a bit more towards the EU crowd - but maybe thats just my take. Of course nothings wrong with that Lots of technical information, and as the previous poster said, seems to be DJ Steve's (creator of the unofficial 2.2 roms) 1st stop when announcing updates.
http://forum.pocketables.net/forumdisplay.php?f=97 - Pocketables, also one i visit frequently. They've got a good corresponding blog: http://www.streaksmart.com/
Last one I go to, very seldom though: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell-streak/

Streak & Best Buy

With the Streak being sold on best buy next month what's the chance of froyo being part of the package?
Will the 7" 'looking glass' be worth looking into
IMO i think the size of my streak is just perfect.

2.2 being shown on Samsung Vibrant product page.

Its being shown on the official Samsung webpage the platform for the Vibrant is being 2.2 !
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T959ZKATMB-features
My question is, how long is it now going to be before we Vibrant owners get the upgrade.
Now, don't get me wrong! I'll pick any of these ROMs anyday before the official upgrade.

Don't hold your breath... unless it is actually rolling out the doors, just assume Samsung/TMob ****ed us.
I would assume most people on here run a custom rom, so they've already prepared for the tmobile abandonment, however the leak was pretty stable and I wouldn't doubt them releasing a 2.2 OTA very shortly, either way I'm already on 2.2....
and either way this should be in the Q&A or general section.
It looks like 2.1 lol.

I can see why people are starting to get frustrated with XDA. I orginally posted about this (someone even put a link to the thread) and it had over 5 pages of people responding, it was in the correct area and it gets deleted for one that was posted in the wrong area.

Help X10 1.6 -> 2.1 (AT&T) Carriar

Hi, i barly got my phone 2 days ago and i been researching on how to update it. I have AT&T provider in U.S.
I see people have debranded, flash, rooted....i can't tell the difference between what this is. And most refer their x10 as an x10a (most likely they have Rodgers as carrier (Canada if i am correct).
Can someone please guide me through updating my SE Xperia x10 1.6 -> 2.1.
I'd like to update it so i can still receive updates from SE website if that is possible. I am new to smart phones and don't know where to start really, if someone can guide me that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Ok to update your phone head to the Sony Ericson website and download PC companion http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/pccompanion/xperiax10us?cc=us&lc=en and it will talk you through the update process. Really it's very easy. There are plenty of custom roms out there now and if your feeling up to it iv made a guide to walk you through just follow the link from my signiture. The x10 comes in 4 main forms x10i (Europe) x10a (america and south American nations) there's a japenesse version (docamo, can't remember precise spelling sorry) and x10 HD which comes with 2.1 pre installed. I hope this information helps you along your journey of exploration of smart phones and believe me you made a good choice getting an x10 and with news of getting a gingerbread update in the summer I'm sure you'll feel very satisified with your phone very soon

Wait a minute. He said he has AT&T, which means that PC Companion or SEUS will be of no help to him. AT&T is still on 1.6.
@101381
What you need to do is check your private messages. I will send you a detailed guide that I have helped many fellow AT&T users with.
Btw, X10a "a" is for Americas. We broadcast on different frequencies.
Why don't you post the guide here?
Then every at&t user could update easily

Because I would get 50 replies saying that there are tons of threads on this already, use search button, and mods please delete.
However, there are just as many new threads like this one, so you have a point. Just have my back when all the flamers and whiners chime in.
Will do tomorrow. Let me clean it up a bit and add some stuff on root, xrecovery, JIT and removing apps.

I don't apriciate your comments and remarks towards me and you should speek with more respect towards your fellow and more senior members.

All I said was same attitude. There is nothing offensive in that. Everyone has an attitude. Do you not like yours or something? Now if I used an adjective in front of attitude I could see your point. Heck, I even put a wink and a smile, meaning all in good fun.
Once again, you don't have to get so defensive. Lighten up. After all, now you are the gingerbread man. Great new name btw. ))

Problem with your guide is that my X10 is still on 1.6 and I can't seem to get xRecovery on my phone.
You wont if your on 1.6, you need to download a global generic Sony firmware and flash it with the flash tool, then root and install xrecovery with flashtool and start my guide for custom rom from my guide if your feeling up to it.

Check your private messages.
Also, I am betting they have already visited those threads. I even use them in my guide. The problem with the guides is they don't explain the steps, which for someone trying this the first time is not helpful, even frightening. It takes an experienced noob to explain it to a noob.
EDIT: Here is the link to my guide that I posted at FLO's request.

Why is there no development for the thrive??

Seems to me the thrive is one of the 2 clear winners among android tablets. So what gives? Does the thrive have STD's or is there something I'm missing? Full size ports, replaceable battery. I mean the thrive is all that android represents. I want to buy one but I can't pull the trigger until I find out why there are zero dev's on this devive.
Thanks

Check out TabletRoms.com and ThriveForums.org.
There's a new Thrive model shipping later this year. According to Engadget a dual core at 1.5 mhz - not quad core but I wouldn't be surprised if they bump it up to quad.
Perhaps that's why?

Don't be crackpot, we are here to learn, not read your whining. This section for the thrive, and not happy with it or want something else
go to that forum. I love my thrive, price, $299, full size ports, and great developers, can't ask for more.
Sent from my Thrive, rooted and looking for more.
There are developers working with the Thrive. They just aren't on this forum because it doesn't pay any attention to the device. We have custom roms and overclocking and we've developed workarounds for some of the known issues/shortcomings. Why you would call it substandard is beyond me...just sounds like someone speaking from ignorance.

You know it is people like you on this forum that has made me move on to a different forum for all my development. I am a long time member of XDA, but just got tired of how a lot of people flamed individuals for asking questions. We are supposed to be here to help out. Although I even get tired of answering the same questions over and over, I will still help an individual and at a minimum, point them to the answer. Then I will let them know that reading and searching goes a long way. That is the way it should work. Being told that that has been aswered 100 times already does no one any good. So, like you have been told, if you do not like the Thrive, then more power to you. Go get the Asus Prime and go bother them.

Unless you have actually looked and read the forum and checked out what has been done I would say that you are nothing but a simple minded troll that needs to be ignored!!!! Maybe you should get a ipad it seem it would fit you perfect!!!
I swear, I don't understand it. All this rooting, then all the post's about what doesn't work right, after rooting. Maybe the reason there's not too much development for the Thrive, is because it doesn't need any? I like my Thrive bone stock, with the latest upload. It works fine, no problems, no complaints. I also have a Dell Streak also bone stock. Now flame away boys...............
You are correct. I do like being rooted, but I stick with a fully stock ROM that is rooted. That is also the ROMs I offer.

Any eta on new rom
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
The CyanogenMod rule applies here: do not ask for an ETA on a ROM!
When it's ready, it's ready. You need to remember that developers do this on their own time, for little or no compensation. The last thing a developer needs is an end user in essence begging for a ROM by asking for an ETA. Such activity is both rude and disrespectful to them.
I can't understand how (politely) asking for developers to add features, support, or anything in general is rude. If anything, it shows their work is needed, and if (again, politely) thanked for, in money, karma, or other forms of gratitude, maybe the ultimate purpose of this site.
"Guys, we need you. Please do give us a 4.x android so we can continue to use our beloved devices."
See? Nothing wrong with that.
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda app-developers app
I'm genuinely amazed how you managed to come to the conclusion that my statement about asking for an ETA being rude extended to asking a developer for anything at all. I was quite specific regarding what I consider rude behavior, and none of your examples fall under that umbrella.
In my opinion, rather than keep asking for JB rom, better we know why there is no JB rom yet.
Go see in development section, find nop thread about porting 3.4 kernel.
All we can do only wait for the kernel finished and can be apply to the rom.
I'm sure, once the kernel finished, there will be lots of JB rom (from kibuuka, nop, hunderstein, nom, lex, dj_steve, ....etc).
Therefore, for those who understand how to build kernel please provide assistance, but for those who do not understand please wait patiencely and keep monitor the thread. So no need to ask for eta again.
