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.

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

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.

I use this. It's the best keyboard out there. Hehe. It has a lot of functionality that no other keyboard does.

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.
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.
Anyone else settling with this rom and setup or is anyone smashing this setup with your own concoction?

I don't think hardly anyone is that far out of date buddy...
Most people here are running StreakDroid 1.9, and the 351 or 354 baseband
SEARCH
Your post begs the question why?
I will admit that for the longest time I was on DJ Steve's modified 318 baseband because he modified it just for StreakDroid, but then I started to have wifi disconnection problems. When I flashed to 351 and now on 354, those issues have vanished, both for WiFi and HSPA connections, I never get disconnected...
And as far as getting away from stock ROM, well I shouldn't even have to answer that one....

I understand you, you and I using about the same setup. I was asking the question to needspractice. The one asking who is continuing to update 318.
Well when I updated to 351 I lost the ability to add a new google contact from my phone. I have no idea how that happened by the way. Plus there was no performance fix for stock roms after 318. I like the stock roms but with just a little added kick. It seams like most of the highly modified roms are to unstable. I have not tried the wireless hotspots yet but if that is an issue when I need it I will be very displead. I will have to redo my whole phone setup. I just got it exactely where I want it. I can do a nano backup; create google contacts from phone, have decent quandrent scores and and my phone runs smooth without Dell Activity Stage force closeing 24/7.

I am. I tried all new roms and found that 318 & perfmod is the best for me. Fastest and no problems at all.
I guess I 'm "old fashioned" considering the other answers.
Ok, understand the concerns with unstability, however I have been running 1.9.0 using Perfmod with 353 BaseBand (latest AT&T) with zero issues. Most stable of them all, can and do pretty much whatever I want with it. Went 2.0.0, but rebooting drove me crazy, went back to 1.9.0 and not regretting it.
Does your notification bar always have the triangle update icon on it? Or do you know of a way to get emlist on the 318 setup? I know there use to a phone code you could punch in to get it loaded.

I always have the update available triangle but I don't care. I can live with it.
hey, idk how many of you keep up with streaksmart but they had an article about this v6 Supercharger script today. I applied it to my streak which is on streakdroid 1.9.1 with perfmod and OCed up to 1.19ghz and my quadrant jumped up from 2200 and change to 2400+ Over all with games and just daily performance my streak seems much more responsive.
Also, some games such as Gamelofts Eternal Legacy which always ran before but lagged now seems to be much much smoother. I'm assuming that's from the RAM benefits.
Here's the original V6 SuperCharger thread for anyone interested: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276
What option did u select for ur supercharger? How do u know if its working?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I am also curious which option is the most appropriate for the streak. I picked option 8 but I find the difference in speed hard to really quantify.
i used option 7 (multitasking) and my quad scores went up, which while I really could care less about the score, what I noticed right away was how responsive everything is now. Screens have no lag, scrolling is smooth.

Do you get any errors about /sys/modules/lowmemorykiller/minfree no such file or directory? I get these on mine with Streakdroid 1.9.1, however it seems to continue with the script. Can't tell if this is an actual error or just an informational warning or something.
I got the same error. I picked option 6.

I have not gotten this or any warnings. I used the version 8 of the script and initially used option 9 for MegaRAM 2 w/512mb (6,12,75,100,125,150 mb)

The easiest way to tell if it is working is to re-run the script and while loading everything up it should say something about your device being SUPERCHARGED. I forget the exact wording and I at least noticed about a 200 point jump up in quadrant scores. Besides that, the little bits of lag and stutters that I had grown accustomed to are now gone. Everything is just much smoother
What's the best option for the dell streak with 1.9.1?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Im not sure, i don't believe anyone has really used it with the streak specifically enough to say yet. I read through the thread a bit and from what I understand each setting is better for different things. The setting im using seems like the best for RAM optimizations for intensive things like gaming which is exactly why i chose that option. Im sure between the various users here we can try various options and eventually determine the best settings for each of us

So far the 6 option has given me the best quadrant scores. I have tried 6,7, and 8

This is what I get when I use supercharger.

I have just run this up as option 6 as well to see what it does. running streakdroid 2.0
So far option 5 is a keeper! Makes my streak super snappy!
