[Dell Streak 7] GhostXtreme:
Sorry for asking again this is my first time, I am installing android rom. I was referring to the steps you mentioned "gingerbreak app, install rommanager, flash the recovery and back up your rom" is that necessary ?

These are the installation steps from HoneyStreak post:

Install Instructions:

1. Download the streakdroid zip from below, this contains all the files and drivers required to flash your device to honeycomb

2. Extract the zip to a folder on your pc - I recommend c:\flash and will use that path in this example

3. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED

4. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED

5. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED

6. Turn off your 7 and unplug the usb cable from it, then hold BOTH volume keys down and connect the usb cable, if done correctly your pc should detect the apx device. choose to update the driver, choose the second option then let me choose from a list, choose have disk then navigate to c:\flash\usbpcdriver and choose the only one it shows (Nvidia boot recovery driver for mobile devices)

7. Double click the Download.bat file in the c:\flash directory and wait a while it will take some time depending on the speed of your pc and usb ports.

8. Once the box disappears hold down power on your 7 untill dell logo appears (can take a little while) then wait for a few mins for some honeycomb tasting goodness.

To go back Dell 2.2, you would follow this post ( Restoring the Streak 7 using NVFlash ):

Step 1) APX Drivers – To work in NVFlash mode you need to install the drivers for the nvidia boot-recovery device. Power off your device and disconnect it from the computer. Hold down the Volume up & down buttons while plugging in the USB cable. (Or leave the USB cable attached and hold the pinhole ‘power off’, hold down the volume Up & Down and release the pinhole ‘power off’.) (The volume button seems like a rocker switch, but you can hold down both sides at once)

Your computer should now recognize the Streak 7 as an APX device. Manually install it using the nvidia boot-recovery drivers.

Step 2) Install NVFlash. For ease of function simply create a folder on your C:\ drive called ‘nvflash’. Download the nvflash zip and extract it to the nvflash folder.

Step 3) Download the 13 img files that make up the original partitions of the device. Files p2.img through p14.img. Put these files in the C:\nvflash folder.

Step 4) Launch (double-click) the Restore.bat file from the C:\nvflash folder. This batch command will begin copying the partitions to the device. Wait patiently as your device is being restored.

Step 5) Once all of the partitions have been written, use the pinhole ‘power off’ button next to the SD card to power off the device. Now power it back on normally to enjoy your restored Streak 7.
