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!

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

Newbie ^^, pls help us

Im using official froyo 2.2 with preffix update 318. Build 12821. Root.
install adw launcher. Nice UI.
Got 1400 on quadrant with oc max 1190Mhz. Lcd density set to 200.
Quite satisfied at the moment.
Still thinking to port steve 1.7
U should try.

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

Which is the best ROM for the Streak (Poll)

There are a handful of ROMS to choose from now and was just wondering what people consider the best ROMs. The things I am looking at are:
1. Speed
2. Stability
3. Features
If I have missed any please let me know...

Using 1.9.1 atm, tried 2.3 but had random turnoffs....
Sent from my A501 using XDA Premium App

StreakDroid 1.9.1 tried SimpleStreak 1.3 test 5 but it doesn't seem as good, StreakDroid has a nice text file to configure options upon installation, i like that.

Hmmm, good question...
I tried Cyanogen 2.0 and liked it, but it kept turning off at random (couldn't figure out why).
I voted for 1.9.1 (most stable for me). But I can't get the headset to work properly (I can hear the caller's voice, but the caller won't hear me).

seems like people are mixing up the ginger streak 2.3 with 2.0.0 . I dont think anyone is using 2.0.0, not to mention saying it is fast and stable...

I would say SD 1.9.1
I have been using SimpleStreak for months now, but just went back to StreakDroid. I like the zip of SimpleStreak derived from being so stripped down, but you gotta hand it to Dj_Steve for creating a ROM that is so damn fast and includes EVERYTHING!
Of course as soon as the new SimpleStreak is final I will probably switch, because I find that they all get stale after a while...

How about the battery life?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

1.PlayDoh - v1.0 - 354 base best battery life
2.Simple Streak 1.2 - Lite ROM Speed, Stability
3.Gingerstreak 2.3.3 will be nice when fix all bug's

Cool, thanks for all the responses. It seems the stock rom is the most popular followed by 1.9.1 and 2.3.
I have tried SD 1.9.1 and I'm on 2.0 now but I feel the speed is pretty poor. I'm thinking of switching to simple.
Does the launcher have a big effect on speed?

StreakDroid 2.4
New Streak Droid 2.4 rock! Stable and fast, best available Rom currently for the Dell Streak IMO.

stock 360 the battery lasts me 5 days with light use
(i only use my phone as a phone now i got a cheap tablet for every thing else)

Simple Streak 1.2 -- very stable and smooth as butter

Simple streak 1.2, ciuldnt be happier
