To pass the time.... enter your best guess

Hope this isn't all wishful thinking

and....

I hope everyone gets it at the same time, and it's not held back by service providers insisting on messing with it first.

What do we win? :rolleyes:

[Guest fards]

Ill tell the winner how to root it.. :rolleyes:

[Guest rebski]

Frankly who cares, those of use who are interested already have Froyo 2.2.

The more relevant question you should be asking is when will Gingerbread 2.3 be out

Thanks for your thoughts. I'll leave you to start that one.

[Guest popetodd]

I would think right before the US Thanksgiving holiday to take advantage of the first round of Xmas sales and adverts.

But then again Dells marketing team has NOT been all that on top of it with this cool device so there is a great chance I am giving them too much credit.

[Guest synaptic.flaws]

is that a promise?

[Guest fards]

is that a promise?

LOL

looks like Dell have fixed the loophole that universal androot used with the latest beta (so I presume the ship froyo will do the same), much in the same way the nexus one stopped it .

I'm feeling nice, so there's two ways of doing it..

either manually (heh heh manually is always more fun) ****

or using SuperOneClick

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 (at least if you're using windows as its easy) ON linux the requirements are long and complicated to use that app (so far)

*****manually or for linux (unless you have all the requirements for superoneclick already)

GET ECLAIR/FROYO version of Superuser.apk and su 

from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828  extract the two files to the directory you're working from.. 


GET rageagainstthecage from 

http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/RageAgainstTheCage.tgz  

extract the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin to the same directory you're working from 


open a terminal/command line


adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

[Guest fards]

yeah

right

as if :rolleyes:

[Guest rebski]

Thanks for your thoughts. I'll leave you to start that one.

LOL Good riposte.

[Guest gilrad]

Without a doubt it will be out before December. The Japanese Streak will ship with 2.2 on December 1st, and if its not out by then I will buy one myself and dump the Rom (no I won't).

[Guest untrueparadox]

dell already tweeted that euro streaks should expect an announcement next week. japan's 2.2 froyo streak launch date is dec 1 so it has to be before then because they still have to put the rtm build onto the streaks that ship. i say 17-19th.

hey at least were not too behind samsung and their galaxy s froyo update ya know.

[Guest spacecat46]

gingerbread will be out by the time dell release 2.2 then everyne will be jonesing for that

[Guest alert_bri]

gingerbread will be out by the time dell release 2.2 then everyne will be jonesing for that

Maybe... Personally, I'd be highly satisfied with a solid froyo from Stephen and whatever comes in due course.

I second that !! Since I have flashed stephens rom, I have not once "tested" the strength of the gorilla glass after getting annoyed with the slow down of the stupid 2.1 O2 release :rolleyes:

Thanks for your patience on EU Streak 2.2 update; roll out plan is being finalised and will give you start date shortly.

[Guest GriZlore]

http://twitter.com/#!/stephenjatdell

@thegrizlore O2 UK will have a seperate update to the unlocked Dell Streaks.

hope this is at the same time

Loved the pic on Dell Support :rolleyes: (twice as long as half it's length lol)

Now Following on twitter :-)

[Guest adzman808]

anyone know what the diff will be? will it be baseband

[s'cuse my ignorance - but is baseband basically doing the same job as a 'radio' on winmo device?]

given a free choice i'd rather an unbranded rom, even if my device is o2 locked

[Guest GriZlore]

dunno, but IMO O2 only sprinkle a tiny bit of branding on the Streak (start-up screen) so hopefully no delay

[Guest GriZlore]

Thanks Dell, from this typical strange roll-out, looks like everyone could be right in this poll.

although, has anyone actually got an official 2.2 OTA yet?

[Guest dancemb]

Nobody has yet, but at least they will serve the UK audience first (makes a nice change) they are giving the unlocked devices priority, where they will receive in the 1st 2 weeks. As for the O2 locked devices, Dell are unsure themselves as it depends on when O2 give there approval (mostly after the 2.1 disaster)

Will surely see someone post a topic as soon as they have the OTA upgrade, with lots of photos etc of the new OS, I know I would if I had a dell streak right now.

Will just have to wait for the people with the unlocked devices to let us know
