Angry Dell Venue Custom Rom

Hey everybody
LETS WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE THE FIRST CUSTOM ROM FOR THE DELL VENUE We need a good rooting software and a decrypted UPDATE.pkg. Everybody knows that the Dell Venue uses FASTBOOT like the Dell Streak so the procedures should be the same.

Dell hasnt released update.pkg for Venue. If someone knows how to pull the file from the phone then we can make custom rom.

Also, Venue doesn't have the fastboot mode like the one in Streak.

Default Enter Fastboot

I found out you can get to the fastboot menu by:

Holding both up & down volume while turning on the phone.

Release power like normal while continuing to hold both volume buttons until you reach fastboot.

Now all we need is a custom rom to install via update.zip...
If this post is useful to you... Thank me.
Thank you

And also, u can hold the down volume while connecting the phone to usb charger. You'll see a custom recovery from Dell with a LOT OF OPTIONS like earase partitions, battery settings and other that i can remember

I will post some pictures soon (:

Default custom rom and kernel please

a custom rom and a custom kernel would be awesome. Dell's official 2.2 rom is too stinkin slow. For a phone with this kind of specs, it is way slower than similar spec'd phones

I tried to get the source code from Dell.

In Venue-HOW-TO-BUILD.txt, it's showing that part of venue are built from android donut. And I can't find "source tree of android froyo from Qualcomm"
