Hack brings Honeycomb 3.1 to Dell Streak 7

After
seeing and playing with Honeycomb, it's very hard if not impossible to
go back to using a modified phone version of Android (usually Froyo) on a
tablet. As Google said themselves, those earlier versions of Android
simply were not designed for use on tablets. So, while devices like the
original Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak series tabs are usable, they
aren't optimal. Hacker DJ_Steve is looking to help out those of you out
there with the Dell Streak 7 who may be suffering a bit of Honeycomb
envy.

DJ_Steve
has put Honeycomb 3.1 on a Dell Streak 7, but has yet to release full
information on the hack because there are still a number of bugs to
squash before it's ready for prime time. This is great news, because it
is highly unlikely that Dell is going to release a Honeycomb update for
the device. 

The
biggest issue facing this hack was that the Dell Streak 7 has a very
low native resolution (800x480), and when lowering the pixel density
setting in Honeycomb, normally the UI will automatically switch to the
Gingerbread (phone) UI. We assume that this behavior is a precursor to
Ice Cream Sandwich, which will combine Honeycomb and Gingerbread and
allow the same OS version to run on all devices. The strange thing that
DJ_Steve found is that this behavior is reversed on the Dell Streak 7,
so lowering the pixel density actually gives you the Honeycomb UI.

As
you can see in the video, the system runs well on the Streak. Although,
as is mentioned in the video there is a bug which renders the device
unable to wake up once it is put to sleep. Once these bugs are killed,
we'll be sure to let you know so you can have some fun running Honeycomb
on your Dell Streak 7!
