I was wondering.. i want to start using themes i noticed that there are different builds - the dudes, haykuru?, jesus freke are the themes specific to these builds?
Also i have been using jf 1.5 adp and want to use mike moussa's tether blu which requires JF RC9 ROM (v. 1.43) can i just do a wipe and install (re-flash)the rom and if so will i need to update the radio again?

Noob that needs some help :D

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I wanted to ask some questions. Sorry for making a new thread for this but I didn't know how to draw some attention
First of all, I'm currently running JFv1.42 RC33 on a US G1. Now on with the questions:
1) Wiping the phone: what data is actually lost in this process? Will the new build run smoother with a wipe prior to flashing?
2) Can anyone tell me which locales are actually in the latest JF builds (1.51 US and EU)? I'm interested in the Italian locale, but from what I've read seems it can't be found anywhere...
3) Has anyone tried APPS2SD v2 with the 1.51 build? Any issues?
4) Can I flash my G1 with any of the latest builds or is there some kind of 'regional' constraint (my phone is US)?
5) Will I find the apps I already installed after flashing to the new build or will I need to download them again?
Thanks in advance for your time guys, hope to hear from you soon

yes most builds will run faster after a flash, it gets rid of everything on the phone.. kinda like the opposite of installing new os... you just erase everything and make the OS new again. When you update builds from the same person you can just flash.. if going to different build you must wipe. The first time you update and root and all that jazz i would DEF wipe.. ( i treat it like going potty, i wipe everytime!!)
2) Can anyone tell me which locales are actually in the latest JF builds (1.51 US and EU)? I'm interested in the Italian locale, but from what I've read seems it can't be found anywhere...
I cant be too sure but all the latest roms have a poop ton of locales.. is that there for fact i dont know...
3) Has anyone tried APPS2SD v2 with the 1.51 build? Any issues?
I heard that if you have atleast a class 6 card you will have more benifit than problems.. i have class 4 now so my experience is limited to just reading..
4) Can I flash my G1 with any of the latest builds or is there some kind of 'regional' constraint (my phone is US)?
Well if you research the procedure on how to root/flash a g1, you will see that there is a hardspl that needs to be updated so you can infact REMOVE these contraints that DO exist.. so you dont ACCIDENTALLY flash the wrong thing.. now with this on your phone.. you can flash ANY rom from ANY area and it SHOULD work...
5) Will I find the apps I already installed after flashing to the new build or will I need to download them again?
if you update.. then it should be there.. if you wipe then no... go back to question 1 to see when or not to wipe...
Thanks in advance for your time guys, hope to hear from you soon

Question on Rom compatability.

Hi guys,
I was wondering, are android roms cross compatable? If I install a mytouch rom on a dream will it work?
Thanks
Most ROM Dev's will state in their OP wether or their ROM will work on the MT3G or the G1. Some also make ROM's for both. Just read the post before you try to flash anything to your MyTouch.

[Q] SEVERELY in need of Radio/Kernal/SPL help.

I've been looking for hours on this site and many other sites and I CANNOT find what I am looking for ..yes I went thread by thread but I just CANNOT find what im looking for.Im wanting to run Cyanogenmod 6.1 on my g1 but I just dont know where to find the latest radio image/SPL/kernal.I might have found the kernal but I desperately need help finding everything anyways just in case I might have missed something.Thanks
umm did you try this? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream
It has links for everything that you need.
it showed me that i was running EBI0 but i could not download the new radio becasue im assuming its outdated and the link didnt work neither . =[ ?
OK I have a rogers dream so it's not exactly the same but I will see what I can do to help.
What do you have now? radio/spl/ROM
Do you have root?
Once you let me know these things I will see what I can find.
I have the Cyanogenmod 6.1 with the dangerspl . i think its the latest one. and I have 2.22.19.26I radio
OK Then I am misunderstanding what you want. As your already running Cyanogen 6.1
I might be wrong , but I think you are after this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
its the radio/spl for the extra 15mb ram
note you will need a compatible kernel, if it is CM6.1 then I think the easiest to use is Firerat's Magpie, A friend set mine up but I'm getting into the swing of things
google for "firerat magpie" , but I can't remember if you need to be logged in to cyanogen to be able to follow links

[Q] Upgrade/ROM Advice

Hi guys,
I'm trying to help a friend with upgrading the OS on his T-Mobile G1. Right now his phone is running the original Donut 1.6 which is rooted.
In "fastboot" mode he can see the following info:
CPLD-4
SPL/hboot 0.95.0000
radio 1.22.12.99
Ideally I'd like to upgrade his phone to Gingerbread, what ROM version is recommended? Any radio/SPL upgrades needed?
Thanks!
a friend did mine, but I have been reading stuff ( he gave me a list of things to read lol )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
that will upgrade the radio/spl ( giving you extra 15mb ram )
google Firerat magpie , but that is only CM6.1 aka Froyo ( but supports the new radio automatically )
for Gingerbread , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356
that has autokernel like the CM6 Magpie , but it is GingerBread
you will want the ADS or Firerat versions if you want a2sd
or use Firerat's AIO script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679572
And like Mike says, read everything by ezterry, firerat AndDisa and you will learn things
Hi Effdee,
Thanks for your replay...was very helpful. Phone is upgraded to GB now.

[Q] (Flash to Biffmod 2.1) Non US Radio possible?

Hi all,
sry i have to start this topic but search here/other forums and even google gave me no results.
i whish to use Biffmod 2.1 on my HTC Dream /Dev Edition
in ROM topic is said:
"Radio Required: 2.22.23.02"
i just wanted to know (i´am EU-User) if i could go with "2.22.19.26i Non US" or is it simply not possible. so that i have to use 2.22.23.02
are there issues when using a US Radio in EU?
or does this have nothing to do with localisation
thanks and greetz
You can use both radio images, but probably you would like to use the +14MB RAM hack. You need a special kernel for that but this is existing. You should read in this thread and you can download the 2708-BiffMod from here.
To be honest, I never tried BiffMod. I am using Gingerbread now
thanks for the heads up.
but just to be clear. what you´re trying to teach me is, that flashing to a up(to)date radio and SPL (death spl) isn´t enough to run biffmod?
i even have to some how "manage" to get the 14MB+ RAM and ne kernel.
sry i´am a little confused now. working in this rom flash the whole day
greetz
You can use the "standard" method, i.e. DangerSPL, but I would not recomend it. You can gain additional 14MB RAM (not internal memory!) If you go with the other combo. The only "disadvantage" is, that you need a kernel which supports this combo.
It's your turn now to decide
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App
After reading I'm assuming that the suggested route is following ezterry's hboot and radio update before installing Biffmod v2.1? I'm currently running a G1 with the 1.33.2005 HBOOT, 2.22.19.26I Radio, and CM6.1.0-ds. Also does Biffmod's ROM include the kernel or is it the ROM itself because ezterry's post suggested installing the kernel but I'm not sure if the ROM includes it.
Thanks
