I'm one of the happy owner of Dell Venue , ICS THOUGH for Dell venue, getting hot discussion in one of most popular XDA Forums.. Since CAF also dropped their support to QSD8250 Devices for further development. It is mean the latest official android software available is GINGERBREAD (2.3) Version.in which today, most people wants Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean live in their devices. But No big developer community AOSP / CYANOGENMOD / CODE AURORA FORUMS taking good care to this device
I'm NOT an android developer, just an user with enthusiastic to get in touch with Linux kernel building for fun and hobby. By spending a lot of time to learn and try building linux kernel for android, I expected have Android ICS Version live in Dell Venue.
Dell Venue users is Lucky, there is one community named DSC (Dell Streak Community) , published their Kernel Project for Dell Streak 5. Dell Streak 5 device is almost identical with Dell Venue Device. Let us take a look :
