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

Hi all,
I just did a hard re-set on my phone, and it looks like it has cured the problem that i was having.
But my question is...do i have to update the ROM again? Or will it still be the updated version? I have checked and it says 1.93.405.
Thats the latest one right?
Thanks!
no u don't have to update it again...
about your rom being latest, i don't think so.
Is it really not the latest one?
By latest i mean the official one, im still a bit scared to try the cooked stuff!
I'm with you on this one!
... yes, that is the latest one released officially from HTC. Other users in this forum may have newer versions, but like you, I'm keeping to the official version for now. I'm certainly not having any of the issues people are discussing here, which makes me wonder... would they still be having these issues had they not upgraded their device with an unofficial ROM?
A hard reset on a PPC is like using a restore CD\DVD on your desktop computer. It will place the initial software back erasing all data.
So there is no need to update. Also, the latest build or number does not mean it's the best. So if you like your device just leave it as it is.. ..meanwhile read about other users experience about different ROM's this way you stay on the save side
Thanks for the replies.
I am having no problems at all with it now, its running really well, so think i am just going to leave it as it is for the moment!
i wanted to know if there was any way to get just flash and multitouch on the g1 without downloading all of the other stuff... im running the US cupcake update...
no. you have to root, install the updated spl, updated recovery image, and a rom that will support the things you want, which at current is limited to hero rom derivatives.

Hello all,

2) also there are so many tutorial on here that I dont really know which to use for what? can someone pls point me to a complete guide?
3) also most of the guide mention that I need to be on rc29 or lower but when i check my phone I dont see that? all i see is I'm using firmware 1.6 and build number: dmd64
4)I been seeing alot of mention as to cupcake, donut, eclair etc, which one should I use?

Cyanogen's EXPERIMENTAL 5.0.7test5 rom is labeled EXPERIMENTAL for a reason. It is Eclair 2.1.
Cyanogen's STABLE version is 4.2.15.1 which is Donut with Eclair bits to it.
You really need to learn how to search and read.
Rule #1 of the forum.
Maybe a little bit in the HOW TO sections?

Just flashed my N1 with C6 RC3 and google addon last night. I hear there is a new radio you can flash to get better signal and faster speeds? Could somebody clarify for me please, im still just learning all the rooting stuff.
Also how could I go about flashing the new radio? Is it to late since I already flashed Cyangen? Do I have to wipe again?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Artemis

Hi,
I'm comletley new to all the Android stuff (I was using iOS till the last week ).
I'm trying to figure out a few things and hope you don't mind a few newbie questions.
I got an LG GT540 (SIMFREE), it comes with 1.6 firmware. My questions are:
1. Does upgrading to 2.1 or 2.2 affecting the performence? (since the hardware isn't such as strong.)
2. The device came with a few applications bundled on the system which I don't need them, is there a way to remove them? how?
3. How do I install an application on the memory card rather the internal memory?
Thank you in advance,
David

1. There is no 2.2 for the gt540. 2.1 improves performance.
2. Its hard to remove stock apps, so i would leave them for now.
3. You will need to look for a tutorial for App2SD for gt540
Hope this helps!
And welcome to XDA!

I wouldn't use the carphone warehouse one yet, because some people are having some 3g problems with it.
i recommend the baltic 2.1 rom
