Cannot find the dell Home screen apps now under widget ...
Not sure on this but maybe the dell stage widgets only work with dell stage launcher?
Posted with StreakZilla, using XDA App.
Yup, they only work on the stock (read: dell modded) dell streak launcher.

Hi Guys I just wanted to share the best solution to the Wallpaper Problem that all of us Streak Owners have suffered ever since day one. Here is the Solution:
Download the App named "Just Pictures" from the Market
It is Not only better than the stock Gallery with features like faster picture loading and cropping but also lets you set the Wallpapers without any Cropping or any headache at all......You can even download the wallpaers from the App- windows7 wallpapers and then set them as your home screen wallpaper using this app, it will work with any picture.....I have tried it and am very happy, Try it yourself, hopefully this will solve the wallpaper issue for now
nope, doesn't work for me with froyo..tried it before..the only one that works is still wallstreak.
Are you on Official Froyo? Or Seteve's Froyo?
I am on official froyo with tweaks so I cannot speak for the custom rom.....

Just pictures also didn't work for me. Still got cropped wallpapers. It wouldn't let me set the wallpaper without cropping. Using stock froyo build 318. How'd you get it to not crop?

Same problem here with DJ_Steve 1.9.0. Were you able to fix it?
Why do you even need an app? Photoshop puts all your pictures into the exact resolution of the screen.
I used LiveWall Paper to get around the cropping issue for Wallpapers. Works quite well.
I use zedge or wizardrii

Just got the 02 update for 2.2.
Hate all the streak widgets so thought i'll just close them all and put on the regular widgets....
Only to find that they auto align to centre of screen and when I change page half the widget sticks into the page.
WTF? How do I change this?
suggest getting a new launcher many of them available and are free.

true...i hate how the stock dell launcher looks...
hence been using ADW launcher...mainly because it allows you to lock the homescreen in portrait mode...
u have launcher pro as well....either ways u cant go wrong...
Since I've never heard of these launchers where can I get them from? What does it require? Root? Custom FW? etc,
nope... they are all available in the market
adw.launcher is free and probably the most common shell used.

Will using a cutom launcher on the Streak change the size of the icons, make them larger?

Also try looking at LauncherPro in the market. The paid version has some nice widgets and with it you can change the grid spacing on the homescreen if you want. I prefer LauncherPro.
Is there an easy way to uninstall or just disable the Dell Stage UI? It BLOWS. I have an AT&T Unlocked Streak w/QDLTool Froyo 2.2. I like the basic OS, but this Stage thing is terrible. I tried looking through different threads, and the only thing I have seen so far is to flash something else.
It seems as though Dell Stage is an app, as I found it in the system file under apps.
Thanks
Download another launcher
Launcherpro
Go launcher
Zeam
Ads launcher

After installing other launcher, next time you press home button it will ask which app to launch, select the launcher you would like, make sure you select the check box for default selection. You might need to do this for some other actions too, but once done the launcher will get executed from next time.
I have tried 3 or 4 other but din't find any better. Slidescreen looks good but not enough to replace.
Go with ADW Launcher EX. They just came out with the EX Edition. Its Really Really Nice. Then, download Home Switcher from the Market. Either way, once you set the different launcher as your default launcher, it will launch that one everytime.
Note: Be sure to delete everything off the Stage UI so theres no widgets or any icons on the screens. Then just keep all of the stuff added on our other launchers screen.
If you are rooted, you can use another launcher and delete Stage with Ti Backup. I used the "freeze" feature to make sure it was okay and it was fine for me.

Ah good. Just deleted mine. Wasn't sure I was able to delete it without side effects. I have frozen dell sync. Don't need it but not sure I have to keep that. Anyone know?

Yeah, im using ADW EX make sure you have another launcher set as the default and you you can delete stage with no problems. Im on 2.2 318 with Perf fix. But, back it up and freeze it first just to make sure.

loads of comments on the market place saying that Launcher Pro is better than ADW EX.
Anyone with experience of both launchers out there with a recommendation??

I think it's just personal preference. I prefer launcher pro plus. They are both good alternative launcher. Try them both then decide for yourself. You can use the free versions to get an idea.

I've givin up on trying to put different roms on my streak, and I'll just wait for rogers to put up 2.2 on my streak (prob be in the summer at this rate) but I'd like to have the new swipe keyboard.
I have the phone rooted, but don't know where to download a new keyboard or how to get the program on my streak without using marketplace.
Any help would be great
Thanks

where can you get Smart Keyboard Pro?
Its in the market.

You can install any app by using astro file manager from market. Just brouse your sd card
and run .apk file. It will give you the option to install file. I am with rogers too and I would suggest you the last Dell's official release.

I use ultrakeyboard and really like.
Swype opened their beta again so go to their website and sign up. Then you can load it on there even under 1.6. They have instructions on how to load it.

For sure the way to go. Even if you aren't in the mood for swyping it's still a nice keyboard!

If not Swype, get the Gingerbread Keyboard. Its fast and pretty close to accurate. A lot better then most keyboard.....Oh and I have SmartKeyBoard Pro and I still use the Gingerbread keyboard over this one.
X2 I love this keyboard. With it, you can adjust the height of the keys in terms of sizing to fit the huge screen of our Streaks.

Sweet i can reply
I downloaded the swype keyboard, and I love it so far. Hopefully soon I can type as fast with it as I did with my Blackberry 8900.
I can't get the speech recognition thing to work, cause I'm on 1.6.... But I'm workin on it.
I have recently rooted my Streak and am in the process of removing bunch of system apps.
I was wondering if it's OK to remove the Dell Stage launcher. Im currently using launcher pro so don't need it but unsure if it can be removed without breaking something.

Yes you can remove dell stage. It actually helps improve the speed of your steak.
