Donut update - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The next android update is 2.0(donut) and i downloaded 1.5(cupcake) from the xda devs like 2 weeks before it came ota, so wen are u guys gonna be puttin donut up for download? I really want to see wut the donut update has instore for the G1

I dont know next year? When google actually starts to put more work into the branch

Use Cyanogen's ROM and you've already got some Donut. Honestly, if devs like Cyanogen stick around, I expect we'll be running hybrid Cupcake/Donut ROMS long before the rumour mill even gets started for the full Donut release.

quick question about the 1.6 update

okay im sure you guys saw that 1.6 is being pushed to all tmobile g1s in the next few days (i saw it on engadget.com) my question is im rooted with cyan 4.0.4 i think. (the latest stable) and i think i want to update to that so i can have the new market. will i be able to get the update and will i be able to still use overclock widget. thanks guys!!!
umm there are already 1.6 based roms in the dev section... i would look there, i am about to give akirah's build a go.
if you flash an official update to your phone then you will lose root.
If you flash any official ROM and try to run an app that requires root it won't work as intended (the app).
How's the ROM you mention david? I was considering it myself, I've been using this current ROM for almost a day now. Need a change

i found it to be really fast (like damn fast) but i love a lot of the features in 4.1.11.1 like the lockscreen among other things. i think it is between a jf rom and a cm rom. not completely vanilla but not rocky road either its a good rom overall, but i love my features.
i still have my .zip file for cyans 4.1.11.1 if anyone needs it!..i like it..

Is that the 1.6 mod that Cyanogen created? If so I would like it if you can send to my email [email protected]
I tried to find it when I saw it on friend's phone, but when I went to the site they removed :\
ny friend got lucky and bought the phone from a person that had it on there.
HAHAHA Cyanogen ROMs are like crack now.
whatcha need, whatcha need?
Hey man, you got some cyanogen?
You ain't a cop are ya?
Nah man, I just need some Cyanogen.
ok cool, here ya go, be careful bro that sh*t's fast.
* looks over both shoulders.
* whispers "dude that phone had cyanogen on it when you bought it?!?! That sh*t's illegal bro!"

a question about 1.6 update

ok...
if i understand correctly there is a new market "look" with the 1.6 donut update
when i first rooted my g1 and accessed the market there were very few apps i could actually find when i went searching for them(i.e astro)
i dont know exactly why but im guessing it was because of the different firmware that was being used at the time?
so how will this 1.6 update affect new ROMs?
im using drizzys blur-hero ROM and it has the (i guess) 1.5 market
will the apps in the market with the new update be easily available or will i more than likely have to flash to a new ROM that uses more up to date firmware as time goes by?
im kinda hoping i dont seeing as how its taken me two months of reading the forums and trial and error to finally get a ROM i like thats stable enough for daily use...lol!
thanks for any input in advance!
What? The Market access the same downloads regardless of version because they query the same server.
well iirc
when i first rooted and went to rc29 i tried looking in the market for some of the apps i had been playing around with before and alot of them werent there...
i dont know why it was like that but i got to thinking that maybe the same thing might happen with the 1.6 update
no the market is way spiffier with the new 1.6 update. for shizzle.

well in some roms, there are market bug where some apps couldnt be found in the market this was a common proble in drizzys 2.3-the last 2.X update.
and why use drizzys blur now when maxisma took over his rom.
but drizzy will be releasing a fulll blur rom sometime today(according to his twitter)

Do you think....?

Do you think that the G1 will get Android 2.1? Or are we going to have to wait until Drizzy comes out with his. Hopefully Cyanogen comes out with one, his roms are fast.

yes, The g1 might get the OTA Android 2.1 update and lets hope we can get the official Sense UI on the g1 like the htc magic
Let's hope so.
It would be great. But I'm hoping Cyanogen comes out with a rom based on the Android 2.1 like Drizzy is.

2.2 ROM to flash

Is there a release of this ROM to flash on my Mytouch 3G 32a?
I wanted to test it out and make some modifications to it for educational purposes with my friend.
Also, a cliq too. Would that be possible to flash the same 2.2 ROM for two separate phones or would I need a special one for the two different phones.
Thanks.
Man, not this again. Wait until Android 2.2 gets on a phone officially.
Cyanogen can port it to the g1/mt3g (also the n1 and the droid) but for now all we got is android 2.1
You have to ask another dev to port it to the cliq since the cliq isn't really talked much about on xda.

Thanks for your reply. I'll look into it. But I wasnt looking for a cyanogen release or any other ROM modification release. I wanted the Raw 2.2 file.
Cyanogen won't be releasing anything before its officially released.

non rooted official G1 1.6 donut OTA file?

my G1 was unusable when it was rooted running gingerbread, eclair, sense, even froyo... constant lag and freezes even though I had apps2sd. I never tried a rooted donut rom yet, are they more stable?
anyway for now I unrooted but I'm only on 1.5 using the guide in the forums, but he says there's a problem with the 1.6 update ota file he supplied, so I tried googling it and every link I click on it either says 404 error or download unsucessful... anybody know what is going on? does anyone have a working link? I've tried like 10 different ones
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
Did you try these?
http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/downloads/list
As far as I know, you have to apply cupcake, then go apply the other OTAs to get to a donut rom. I haven't ever seen a stock donut full rom.
Have you tried a rooted stock donut rom?

I have a rooted donut 1.6 rom on my phone right now. I don't really use it, so I can't say how stable it is. My poor G1 is just used for flashing and testing. I did have to pull the battery because I pushed SetCPU down to 19 Mhz. Otherwise, I would think it is decently stable. You might also look into CM4 or CM5.
