Coming from x10, I love this thing. I have already booted into recovery, is it as easy as dl update.pkg and running it from recovery?

Sorry multiple posts, working off cracked x10. My baseband is 11732-Us. And my build is 7921. Any help appreciated

Well, read around and came to conclusion its not doable because i need to change baseband. But am on the streak now and love it. I am using better keyboard due to the stock one seeming small. Love the screen size, make my x10 look mini. LoL

I upgraded mine to 2.2 stock an I've been workink for days with it without issues (well it slows down once in a while but I still have to try the fix to accelerate 2.2 to see if that helps) anyways I'm happy overall with it.
The way I did it was following the tutorial to change baseband to 00 and after that with the US stock rom I followed another guide to upgrade using the stock 2.2 pkg. Was not that hard really... I got a little lost when I was changing the baseband to 00 but in the forum with the tutorial for that there is a post with some instruction to clear your existing packages and apply another recover... This did the trick for me and after that evrything was smooth update.. In overall took me like 3 hours with all the research and reboot necesary... But here I'm happy Froyo swiping in 2.2
Good luck!

Any problem with official update on rooted streak?

I read online somewhere that you may not qualify for the official froyo update if your streak has been rooted. Did anyone with a rooted streak have a problem getting the update?
I apologize if this has been asked and answered, but you can't really search this question since nearly every post contains the words "rooted" and "update"
Fingers crossed for the update next week!

Not sure if there is a way to learn if a device is rooted or not remotely...

I have a UK O2 Streak that is rooted and it updated to the official O2 2.2 froyo with no problems. In fact it was a weirdly smooth transition... everything actually worked as it was meant to and I didn't have to do anything to start using it again except get rid of the stupid Stages and install Launcher EX

Hi, I just got a dell streak and would like to know which would be the best OS to have on it.
Any advice would be appreciated

Dj steves streakdroid is about your only custom option. Its great but not perfect, I think hes workin around with unknown source codes or something makin it difficult to perfect the monster. You can go stock 2.1 which keeps the ultimately useful bar/app button. 2.2 isnt worth a damn considering streakdroid 1.7.0

Custom roms

Hey guys, ive had my streak for8 months now. I used to have a htc touch jd and I was used to the fact I could change to rom pretty easilly and I was spoilt for choice.
Im currently on official o2 2.2, iwas just wondering if there are any roms which are significantly improved in terms of looks and speed for the streak.and if so is there a good guide that tells me how to install them?
Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Here is a good place to start
I would have to say that I am an avid user of StreakDroid. Sure it has a small bug here or there, but as far as speed you can't go wrong with using StreakDroid with perfmod.

351 could not have come at a better time!

I was this close to giving up on my streak when the 351 update come out... but now my streak functions exactly as a streak should and is here to stay - it's perfect! (0:

That is good news.
Looks like each streak has its own love for a different rom.
I agree 351 is the best stock rom so far. One issue I don't like that has popped up since 345 and newer is the flashing profile pics in text messages and google talk. Other than that it runs great.
351 is great works just as good as 318 for me, but after now updating and having it 4 a week, all I want now is a update to gingerbread haha the grass is always greener as they say!
yeah, 351 is better but i still waiting for gingerbread
my streak broke 1 month ago.so ive send it to repair...took one month..i just got it back and dell changed the mainboard(basically whole phone)that caused the random reboots.now since i got it...updated to 351 rom..and i didnt get a reboot in one week.simply beautifull this rom...now this is how the streak should be!!!so impressed now.cheers
Really? I havent experienced tht prob yet. Will give it a look into... Thx

What's the best rom for dell streak 5'

I have android 2.2 installed ,but with some problems. Can I install 2.3 or else .
I need high cpu performance. Battery life extention. Better sip call by 3G . Thanks

The Search Button is Your Friend!
A little research on your part would have told you that there is no 2.3 for Streak, with the exception of the experimental and still early developing GingerStreak from DJ Steve, with extensive kernel re-writing by Fards.
Unless you are quite talented in flashing custom roms, and don't use your Streak as your main device, you will probably want to patiently wait for further development, stability and refinement.
I suggest you do a thorough search on the subject so you don't get flamed in open forum, or worse, brick your Streak!

Simple streak rom I would think is best cpu performance,but I have on tried 1.9.1,and like it with set cpu to minimum 384 maximum 1119,lcd density 180 or 200.......im still on 305 bb though.....might be even better if I put a newer ones

Agreed, Simple-streak is the fastest performance. The latest 1.9.1 is stable and very good but Simple-streak is fastest and best for games.

I really liked 1.6.1 with perfmod but th current 1.9.1 is very stable. Im currently on stock
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using Tapatalk
I loved the custom roms but I need 100% stability and I found that on 354. I will be switching to 364 once I can figure out how to!
Does anyone can send me links to direct download the 2 roms and the guide in the browser, I cannot find within the apps . Thanks
