As you can see I'm new here and having a ball I have rooted my G1 and loaded JF but am considering going to cyanogen for no other reason than I have found a theme I really like and it will only work on cyanogen. can I get some pros and cons? If I make the switch is it a matter of a wipe and alt s to load cyanogen now that i'm rooted?
well
Cyanogens is hands down the fastest in my opinion.
Are you using apps 2 sd?
No, but I was just reading up on it, sounds like a good idea to partition and send apps to sd card... Will buy a new card tomarrow.
cyanogen rom is great very stable n fast. im currently using his lastest rom n i luv it. yes u would have to wipe n flash for his rom
i also switched from JF to Cyan a while back ....never switched since then...JF is also fast no doubt but Cyans rom just makes it easier for some things...and he constantly updates his rom

You shouldn't have to wipe going JF to Cynogen. They are based off the same build. But as always if you run into issues with programs force closing and what not then you should wipe.
I just loaded JF yesterday and have very few apps so no big deal on the wipe. Best buys is right down the street, but they only have a class 4 sd card. will this work okay or should I wait and order class 6.
I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I have a different question. Do I need to change the SPL? What I have is :
JF1.51
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL 10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.29.26I
And I have Cyanogen's 1.31 recovery. Do I need to change the SPL to Haykuro's?
Thanks
(@ billquinn1 )thats all you need justy update. you have hard spl and a updated radio so your good to go.
----------------------------------------------
Definitely make the jump.. it comes with a2sd already installed (if you have the partition), it has 5 screens so if you need more space, its stable, it has a good standby screen, you dont have to wipe(even though i did and it doesnt require the DangerSPL although i flashed to it yesterday(i want to try the Hero Roms). this rom has great themes as well as features

I've heard stories of it working OK for people, but honestly.. You can buy a Class 6 from Newegg for less or the same as that Class 4 at Bestbuy, and get it within days. And it will absolutely work better than the class 4.

No, cyanogen's roms work just fine with HardSPL.
I highly recommend cyanogen's roms. I would also recommend formatting a linux-swap partition as well. It makes it run that much better.

Cyanogen's ROM (3.6.5) rocks!!!!
I had only used JF ROMs and always had to figure out the Apps2SD thing on my own. I flashed Cyan's 3.6.5 ROM several days ago and I absolutely love it! It does Apps2SD automatically with ease and it's super fast. I also recommend Cyanogen's recovery as well.
No wipe will be needed. Apparently, a lot of problems have been reported on Class 4 SD cards, and while it doesn't make any sense why, it's probably best to go to a class 6 (faster, higher quality). Personally, I use a Class 2 and it works fine, but can be laggy at times. Never made a difference for me.
Thanks guys for all your help, I'll go with a class 6
Hi, also considering to flash Cyanogen Rom v3.6.7, but i have question to ask, Do i need to do a wipe first? before flashing the rom coz i don't want to lose all my current settings and info. And can i use my current JF 1.43 recovery instead of Cyan v1.31 recovery?
Appreciate any advice.

You don't have to wipe. If you run into problems you might as well wipe. Yes you can use Jf 1.43 recovery but i highly recommend cyanogen's recovery. So so many advantages.

I can vouch for Saiboogu's comment. I went from an 8GB Class 4 to an 8GB Class 6 and the difference was noticeable.
Also, I went from JF to Dude to Cyanogen's ROM. Cyan's is much smoother and faster.

Thanks for the reply, will tryout Cyan's Recovery and flash his latest ROM...
Hello All.
I have spent a lot of time reading and am quite confused by all the different ROMs out there.
I live in the US, have T-mobile and need Exchange support and Tehtering. What is the best ROM for me in your opinion.
I am especially interested in ROMs where an easy-to-follow tutorial is available as this is my first G1 mod (but I did mod my Dash quite a few times).
Thanks,
Richard
Cyanogen's builds are the bees knees. Exchange support built into latest releases.
I think you have to download wifitether on the experimental build at the moment.
Can you name a specific build? also, can I get the tethering working in non-experimental roms?
Thanks
yeah. he recently released 3.9.5 which is very nice, you should be able to get the tethering working
My research shows that that is still experimental and has a possibility of bricking a phone. Any news on that? I am more interested in an already-stable release
Richard
Then just go get his stable release. It's in the dev forum also. It's 3.6.8.1 and btw I'm a total noob who has flashed every single experimental release of the cyan builds and flashed haykuro's spl so if I haven't bricked my phone yet I'm sure you will be perfectly fine just flashing that rom.
Google ION.

You don't have to worry about bricking your phone. His rom's don't require the brick SPL.
anyone have a good link to a walkthru on how to go thru the whole process?
Thanks
Everything you will need to root you can find here: XDA ***Informative Threads***
I can follow the root tutorials.
What is the prescribed step-by-step after that? I am hoping to go to the stable version mentioned here or another ROM that supports exchange. There is so much conflicting information on the threads that says to do this or that for this or that and its hard to follow with all the acronyms and such. Any help is appreciated,
Richard
well yo should just get the latest cyanogen image.
i have been flashing all his roms since day 1 and i have never had 1 issue.
for right now ignore any other roms (such as the hero mods from jachero or drizzy) because they are very unstable and slow. since its your first cooked rom your best bet is to flash to cyanogens 3.9.5 and your set. you dont need anything set up except root and your ext2/ext3 partition. no scripts necessary or additional apps to keep your apps to the sd card.
hope this helps.

^^ That is a great tutorial. ^^
1.4 pimped out recovery image, is truly pimped out. Backing up an image of your phones software to your sdcard only takes a few button presses, same with restoring it. Has other very useful features as well.
Danger SPL is really only needed for certain Hero builds, a partitioned card is good if you need Apps2SD.
In your case: Root it, install 1.4 recovery, then go with Cyanogen 3.6.8.1, install wifiTether.
Btw. If you plan on using wifiTether often, carry a charger or usb cable. It eats your battery quickly.
Enjoy!
Quite a bit of mis-information here.
The poster wants EXCHANGE support. Cyan's rom's do not have true exchange support.
What you need is either a Hero or Rogers ROM. The most stable, fastest, best ROM I've used so far is Soulife Rogers. There is a version that does not require the new SPL if you wish to not upgrade that. You can install WiFi Tether on any rooted phone with any ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523608 - Soulife Rogers
You'll want to root your phone first, then run the latest cyan recovery (1.4) - partition your SD card for fat32, ext2, linux-swap. Then run "upgrade_fs" to upgrade to ext3... install the soulife rom. Then install swapper from the market and select "linux partition" from the menu.
This is a pretty vague how-to, if you need more help feel free to ask.
This is the setup that I currently run. I get no force-closes, no lags, no freeze ups, everything is lightning fast plus FULL exchange (contacts/calendar/email) and even the HTC Dialer. Soulife's ROM is probably the best ROM available at this point.

I second this. With HK's SPL it gives you about 80 mb of free internal memory. Plus its super fast.
I havent tried Cyan's roms yet, mainly bc I dont feel like having to partition SD Card, then run a swapper on the thing. I want my phone just to work by itself, not with the addition of all these extra processes.
This is in no way a dig at Cyan, he's a great developer with (obviously) great stuff. But if you just want an Update.zip that you throw on your SD Card and update with amazing results I recommend Ion.

Egad, I forgot about the calendar and contacts. I was just thinking of the mail application.
Good catch.
Does ION have FULL exchange support? If it's the Rogers ION port than it should.
Also, swapper isn't required. It's silly not to use it though as it speeds up the phone.

quick note, in Cyan's ROMs you do not need to partition your SD card. if your card is not partitioned, it will not use the features and still runs smooth and fast. OK so maybe it won't be quite as fast as when using a swap, but it's definately fine without it.
Back on topic, i too would generally recomend Cyan's ROMs, but sadly no exchange, try a Roger's ROM, either by Soul-life or TheDude.
to install, if you have already rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM, simply download the ROM, rename it to update.zip, place it on the root of your SD card. Reboot phone holding HOME and POWER. i recomend a wipe if you're switching ROMs, so press ALT+W to wipe, then press ALT+S to apply the update. when it's done, press HOME+BACK to reboot your phone. It will take a little longer to boot after a flash, that's normal so don't panic.
hope that helps

If you are running Cyan's 1.4 recovery, there is no need to rename to update.zip anymore.

Haha, thanks for the reminder, i forgot about that part, but if it's any other recovery, then update.zip will do just fine
I bought a g1 off of craigslist and it already had root. JF 1.4 ....
Around the time cupcake was released I updated it to jf 1.51
Now since there will be no more JF updates I wish to switch to Cyan builds.
I'm unsure of the proper way of doing this?
Should I go back stock .. unroot and then go thru the steps to load cyan?
Or is there a better way? A wipe?
I'm asking to be clear because internet access is strictly from my g1.
Although I can download all the files I need, I do not have constant access.
I'd appreciate any tips or pointing me to the proper thread.
Check the threads in Dream >Dream Android Development look for Cyanogen's thread on his release of 4.1.999, follow the instructions and you will be fine. I'd also suggest at least flashing Cyanogen's v1.4 Recovery Image over JF's, easier to flash any .zip on sdcard. So, new recovery image (use search option in forums, or look in the same thread i mentioned for cyanogen recovery image 1.4) then update to cyanogen's latest rom build
So simply flash a new recovery, then follow the cyan steps?
Cool, easy as pie.
I certainly appreciate it.
Thank you
Yup. just be careful that you dont boot off the htc recovery rom, or the steps to get to cyans rom become much, much harder

I'd like to chime in here as well since I'm having such a hard time searching for info on the conversion from jf1.51 to the latest build of CM. The amount of posts are staggering!
So, I vaguely remember setting up apps2sd following the guide at the bottom of this page - http://yokohead.com/2009/06/how-to-root-android-g1-with-cupcake-and-appstosd/
Will CM automatically detect this partition?
Also, will I lose the google experience? I'm still confused as to where we are on that.
Thanks for your time! If anyone knows an updated post on this process, please point me to it.

Well the sticky by fingerlickin at the top of this section is a good place to start....
all you have to do is find the singleflash update in the dev section, backup and clear everything off your ext3, and wipe+flash the single update. you can restore the ext backup then.
also you should upgrade to cyan 1.4 recovery
to do so
su
cd /sdcard

Thanks B-Man007,
After a couple attempts, all is working well. I'm thoroughly impressed with the snappiness of this build. Although it's only my second time updating a ROM, I'm going to blame the amount of posts for my hesitation and confusion. It was easy to just go in and do it.
I actually updated to the latest Amon-Ra(sp?) recovery. At first my Rom was running real slow and the recovery allowed me to update my ext2 to ext3. Loving it now!
The amount of posts does make it quite confusing i agree, especially with the high amount of conflicting posts
Ya ext3 is a must, but you could have upgraded from cyans too haha
cyan usually has the fastest builds out there though at times it can get very slow.
Another noob here. A few months ago I rooted and flashed to xrom 1.5. When I do a reboot, my recovery screen tells me its "CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF".
Since xRom is experiencing some problems w/ updates, I figured I might try the latest build of Cyanogen. I re-booted, went to recovery mode. Wiped. Then flashed the latest Cyan and even found the 1.6 ota on another site. Flashed both zips, then did a re-boot and it hangs now.
I tried it over and over a few times, wiping then flashing again. Wiping, then re-booting, then flashing the rom, etc. Over and over with the same results.
Then as a test, I tried flashing back to xRom... perfectly fine.
As another test, I tried wiping and flashing to another rom, the rooted stock option (the HTC rom version)... and got the same results as when I tried Cyan... just hangs.
Wiped and flashed again back to xRom... works fine.
So at this point, I'm thinking I need a more updated recovery rom? Any other possible problems? Yes, I did a search all over and this was the best thread that matched my problem.
If it helps... I have a T-mo G1, firmware 1.5, JACxROMv1.5, kernel version 2.6.29.6-jac-ski root. And I know many will slap their foreheads when I say this: But the SD is NOT partioned at all (kept trying and trying with zero success, so I eventually gave up).
Ok, i have a need for a bit of help. I rooted and flashed to Jesusfreaks adp. I tried to get it to RC33. LONG story short, JF is installed. My kernel is 2.6.27-00392-g8312baf
NO clue what that means but im at fireware 1.5 and Build number CRB43
I want to get to Cyanogen. It looks a little smoother then JF and more frequently update. BTWi have a G1
I followed this guide TO THE T!
simplehelp.net/2009/10/04/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-4-1-99-on-your-g1-android-phone/
and after i rebooted, it took forever to boot (which is usual)
All my apps crashed. My desktop didnt even load. It had force closes like *android.phone and *android.mail
I figured it was because i was trying to mod off of the Jesus freak setup. Can anyone help me out and tell me how to either COMPLETELY wipe my phone and restore it to its origional G1 official build and then i can re-root to Cyanogen OR a way to mod from Jesusfreak to Cyanogen
copy and paste this into your browser... follow the directions...
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod[/url]
Just read that guide over and thats all exactly what i already did. I have tried to signed-dream flash and then after taht the cyan mod. It installed the OS no problem. It just didnt have any programs working. IT is as if the phone had the OS but no program files. It wouldnt even load the phone at all. it was a black screen with a status bar and infinate force close screens. Any idea what that is a result of? I had to flash recover back to my JF os
Try this:
1. Flash recovery Amon_Ra (Great improvment on JF and Cyans recovery)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img
2. Boot into recovery (Home+Power)
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Wipe EXT
5. Repair EXT
6. Flash Super D (I suggest Super D only because there is less flashing involved and it's a great improvement on the Cyan roms.. super quick too)
From here you should be set.
so if i already have root and all that, do i still need to follow step 1? Like flash with Amon_Ra? or can i just wipe, and reload the D rom? also your rom says its myHero2.2? is that a good rom? Im just trying to find the best rom to use on a g1. I have read up on Jesusfreak, its very stable, but it is pretty much just a open version of the regular tmobile os. THe only difference is the apps store is an older version. In your opinion, what is the best G1 rom and what are its percs?
thanks for all your help. This has been a working progress haha, finding a good rom and sticking with it. and can you give me a list of all the files needed for the best rom? if they have a step by step guide to it, thatd be great! i would look myself, but im still new at all this and there are like a bajillion different roms/ ways to load the rom.

This is going to be more of a difficult question to answer. It just depends on what you're after. I really prefer Super D because of it's speed. Again its built from the Cyan roms so you get Cyan + extras. That's what I would go with. Simple, easy, and fast.

Well that's the cool part about the community here at XDA. All the files are set up for you. To flash a rom:
Code:
Download the .zip file and place it on the root of your sd card
Reboot into recovery
Make a backup (i prefer switchrom)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe EXT
Repair EXT
Flash rom from .zip
Reboot.
It's that easy.
I'm running CyanogenMod, with Apps2SD and 512 Swap space.
What setup are you running? Any Rom that sticks out more than others?
Try Super D and Kings ASOP Eclair. That there is a whole lot of swap space buddy.

Yeah, that's pure swap space. Is there a downfall for using so much?
I don't think a large swap space will hinder performance, just a waste of memory card. Your phone will most likely never use that much swap but if you're not hurting for fat32 or ext2/3/4 space then you're probably fine.
I was a long-time Cyanogen user and although I like his roms, ever since I switched to SuperD a couple months ago I've had maybe 2 force closes and speed is crazy fast with no swap at all. Try SuperD w/ WG Kernel. Stable and fast. Link in my sig.

Thanks, sounds good. What's DeathSPL do? Also, if I have a ROM already installed, how do I go about changing to a different one?
I just changed from cyanogen last night. most likely you'll need Danger/Death SPL, unless you've already done it. HERE
might as well upgrade to the newest radio, as most people notice a gain in signal, and battery. I noticed a significant gain in signal, and the battery gain, im believing is from both SuperD and the new radio. New Radio is HERE
Follow the links and read up on them a little bit.
Coming from cyanogen, what I did was flash new radio, then flash dangerSPL, then flash the ROM.

DeathSPL changes the partitions around so that ROMs have more space to occupy. Any radio version 26I and later are compatible, any radio version before 26I is incompatible and will brick your phone.
Once you have your radio and SPL installed, switching between ROMs is as easy as wiping and installing the ROM only. There is even a script to backup and restore multiple ROMs if that's your thing.

Will I have to repartition my SD card, reinstall app2sd and swap space if I do all that?
I didn't have to do any of that. I did back up all my apps and messages, because I did a full wipe. But I didn't have to restore my apps, just my messages.
Again as stated in my sig, I am a noob, so might be better off for a pros comment.

If I install Eclairs, they remove Super D right?
Yes. You can only have one rom installed at a time. Every Eclair and Hero rom I have flashed have been unstable, sluggish, and/or incomplete. Donut is the way to go unless you want to experiment with your G1. SuperD w/ WG's kernel is my favorite so far of the Donut roms. It seems to be the fastest while still having close to zero force closes. Links in my sig.
Do a search for "switchrom.sh" if you want to have several hot-swappable roms at your disposal. Make sure you have room on your SD card if you want to use this.

Not 100% on the details, this is just what I understand.
JIT is a new Dalvik compiler. It's somewhat experimental, but I've had zero problems in the couple weeks I've had it installed. It improves raw performance by about 25% or so, I noticed about a 10% gain when launching/switching apps and stuff.
It's reversible, so no harm in trying it, I'd say.
Is it normal for my memory space to go down if I have my phone on for days?
When I go to a task killer, it says I only have 47mbs free after I kill all my tasks. When I first started up my phone, it said I had like 60 or whatever.
Does Super D support apps2sd?

Very normal. To free up the rest you'd probably have to delete the cache that's still on the phone which is typically browser, market, maybe some others.
Yes, SuperD supports apps2sd. a2sd script automatically runs so you don't need to enable it manually.
