Steve just released v 1.7.0

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909263

I have not been using 1.6.0 due to some apps incompatible with his Gingerbread changes. When I select menu on these apps - I see only black selection boxes. Anyway I upgraded to 1.7 from 1.5.1 - took only 7 minutes. I noted he has taken away the Gingerbread black-like menu. The Dell seems zippier - haven't noticed any serious bugs so far. He has incorporated some  Dell Streak 7 ( the 7' tablet ) features - check up his log on changes

YES . I find it much better than 1.6.0, 1,6.1 which I use olny less than a day. However I find his new fonts too refine and small. So I reflash it by replacing the fonts in his zip file with fonts from 1.6.1
Till today already few days , yet to notice any serious bugs. There is a very minor bug, sometimes the notification  screen is display when you swipe across  screens. Just press home button it disappears

My most important requirement especially 3G is great i find better than 1.5.1

BTW I noticed Zeam launcher works better with his rom than ADW and Launcxher Pro. The latter 2 launches I noted need 1-2 secs to redraw screen views when restart and reboot from idle

Thank you benny,

I am doing it right now.
Done
Baseband GAUSB1A132211-US Build 12947

Can be use as modem or not? Found one seller here selling Dell Streak 8GB for RM1899 while 16GB is RM1999 
so confusing.

You are right, ive been using most of my phone and not claiming any warranty at all. and specs its all just my satisfactions. 
8.9/10 is not bad at all compared to galaxy s and iphone(which not my taste) Actually its my first time to try android phone. Ive been using symbian, windows and bb for quite long enough. and my first android im thinking of is streak.
Can it become a modem? Lagging or not? 

Ok thanks guys for your support.
Ive received several offers for dell streak. Quite temping. Got my own choici but still irwan is my top list. Best offer atm. 

Unmount your SDCard, install the updates then mount it back. Should be no problem.

Let me guess, Angry Birds?

Yeap, now I can video call with my gf

Android with android, android with iPhones

DEFINITELY. My previous unit was on 1.6. I upgraded it to 2.1 than to Froyo 2.2

This happens when you are installing a incompatible version. Download the correct version ( it is free )  from the PAID apps Market and do not use any others freely available from the web ( you know what I mean ). I faced same problem cos I took easy way out and try to use an old apk from my previous Nexus

Ask the users , not read some website comments. I can tell you that this is avery good smartphone . It is the only one in its class with 5". The poor reviews were basically when it was launched with Android 1.6. Now it is officially available on 2.2 - it is a world of difference. I rate a score of 8 to 9 for this Dell Streak

Yes , just use the Market version. There are many other versions in the web  -mostly extracted out from other phones. Somehow such versions most of it will not work

Use root explorer ( at top select RW mode ) browse to system locate build.prop file hold down right click n select open in text editor. Browse down and find entry lcd density change value to 180 up to 240 increments of 10. Ideal value 210. Default is 160. Save file n reset
ADW launcher EX has icon size change built-in too but the font size does not change
Manual edits is the best way to have icon size change and the fonts sizes will increase accordingly

Did you clear your dalvik cache, wipe cache partition before you flash 1.8.1 . Try do these steps again from recovery. Your data will not be wiped unless you select wipe data/factory reset

These issues are at times attributed to restore of apps from esp Titanium Backup. Stephen's roms I do read at XDA several  users do complain about such. So my golden rules in flashing /updating Stephen's roms has always being : wipe those as described PLUS wipe data/factory reset. After a successful install, I go to recovery mode and select factory reset again. These steps will wipe clean the phone. Than I do a manual  Restore apps/data with MyBackupPro which I find is better than TB. TB tends to give such sudden reset issues plus force closures - I could be wrong on TB but that's what I have narrow it down. I have tested several times such methods just for the sake of testing to identify cause of sudden reboots, force closures
Till now I still consider 1.5.1 the best and most stable rom - I have practically close to  zero issues with it

+ 1

Try not to use Nandroid or TB to backup your files , restoring it later . It might cause FC . Easiest method to do it , : Astro File Manager > Settings > Tools > Application Manager/Backup . From there backup the apps from your current rom . U can try " SMS Backup+ " , a free apps from the market to store your sms and logs . Do a factory reset , wipe dalvik cache under " Advance " in CWM and " cache partition " and Reboot it . Once it's reboot , turn it off again and go to recovery , install the new rom , reinstall Astro file manager and going back to Application Manager , u will have a list of apps from your previous rom .... So far , I got zero FC or auto reboot in 1.8.1 or .1.9.0 .....

Apps is ok .....just that when we use Nandroid or TB , it copied more than apps alone and that's y its giving prob .... Personally , i feel 1.8.1 is better than 1.9.0 but if u ask me to compare 1.5.1 to 1.8.1 , i rather go 1.8.1 as i dun have any prob . Also , did u choose "perfmod" ? seem some users r having prob after selection this option

perfmod is not even recommended by Stephen but is an option to those who wishes to have it. It is a mix bag of comments on perfmod - I'd say avoid using it

Suppose to increase the peformance of the phone but in stock form with no apps , its fast , faster than standard rom but u get problems when u start installing apps . I get FC , auto reboot , phone hang and need 2 pull out battery , etc ..... it's up to u bro , some users reported ok using it . My apps will b different from others so , its a " No-No" for me .. 

guys.. sry, noob here. Can teach me how to see which version of ROM? I didnt get to see the ROM version in my streak..

what is the different?
Can i able to change the screen look (after unlock), it looks so old fashion, does it help after updating the ROM?

Thanks!

This phone support multi-touch?

benny, if lets say my ext SD card is 16gb which come with the package, is that 16gb plus the inbuilt storage of 16gb become 32gb? cos when i check the SD card & phone storage settings, i only can see SD Card- total space - 14.82GB & Internal phone storage - available space 1.24GB now..so is tat mean ext SD card is not display in there?
