I tried deodexing the rom and ran into trouble. It is missing file that is there by default in Android which messed up deodexing process. As far as tweaking, there are a couple of tweaking tool in the market. Some might require root access, in which case you will need to root with Gingerbreak v1.02 I eagerly await the 2.3.3 upgrade to dive in.
@TheManii, can I install the following 319 rom as update.pkg to my Venue to down grade it from 325 ?

Also hoping 319 is rootable

no need to return to 325. I am assuming I can download the 319 recovery from this thread.
Steps:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
then use the recovery to load the 319 and update.pkg
Correct?
PS. wouldn;t return to 325 will be possible in a similar fashion, ie pkg file is available along with recovery. or perhaps OTA update from Dell (long shot)

Nothing is at all available in regards to 325, the only pkg available at all is 319 so it's always a one way movement towards 319.
Once you install it you cant fully return to your previous rom without having a pkg, and like it says only 319 is available.

Manii,
My phone no longer recognizes mobile networks. I am not sure how to describe it but it doesn't recognize any SIM card and has no APNs. Do you happen to know a way to fix that? This is a secondary device so it isn't as crucial. I typically have my SIM in the Streak but would like to fix it sooner that later

I've never even seen a venue in actuality, just recycling known steps form the streak, as it's more or less identical.
Only advise i can offer is to reflash the system rom over yours, whatever one is correct (assuming I have it). Possibly also fac resetting afterwards
What did you do to it? Did you root and start messing around with /system?

Manii thanks for your help. I flashed 319 as update.pkg. it booted to Korean language, but after switching to english it works well. Easily rooted with GingerBreak.
Now, can I take the 325 dump and flash on top of 319?
if yes, appreciate the order of files i should flash.

Didn't try to root, I think may have flashed different ROMs too much. I will try flashing and fac reset and see what happens. Obviously none of this is any of your fault or doing - just wanna be clear I am not complaining. Keep up the good work, brother.
I really messed up now. I accidentally choose the wrong option (something to do with SD card download from the recovery options) and now my Venue is really bricked. Only things that work are the LED lights. There is no Dell logo, phone is not recognized by computer. I will have to send it in to revive, I think, unless there is a way to fix it on my own (doubtful).
I dont recall who had 325, but whoever it was: if you see this and are still on it: I have a workaround for your device.
If anyone that's still on 325 is able to, please contact me either on xda or on #dellstreak on freenode and I'll walk you though dumping 325 and provide you with root on it for your trouble (if you still with to use 325)

1Check Development Page, I Have Uploaded The Stock Dell Venue ROM Dumps.
Sent from my Dell Venue using XDA App1If you're on windows just look for unyaffs.exe, I assume there's a similar util for *nix/osx.
To repack them I dont have a pc util to do it. I just flash it on my streak then make a nandroid. As I dont do this that often really I havnt bothered looking up for a tool to do this. I do believe there's a bundled tool to do this in linux (build a filesystem into an image).1
