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.

So here is the deal. I have searched these forums for a while and can't find what I really need. What I need is the most stable ROM available that has all of the features of the phone in proper working condition.
I have enjoyed using experimental ROMs with RAM hacks and the like but I am selling my G1 to somebody else. I need to find a ROM that doesn't have any issues with blue tooth, 3D, or playing video and youtube.
I apologize for creating a whole new thread for this but I have searched the forums and the only versions that I can find have some substantial known issues.
So what Android ROM should I download and flash? Thank you to anybody who can help.
if you're selling the phone, keep it simple. A stock donut rom ought to be just fine. Or hell, unroot it.

Unroot it. That way the new user will be able to get the support and updates they need.
If you dont want to unroot it, then this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
Hi this is probably a really stupid question but I am new and don't really know what I'm doing lol. I was wondering if there was an easy way to upgrade my sprint hero to 2.2. Google offers the official stock android but I don't know how to install it and I can't figure out the search here. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Maybe link to the right thread? Thanks for the help

Here is a good place to start for general questions and answers:

One thing is for sure your going to have to root your phone before you can do anything so here's the rooting guide for 2.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
The official source code for 2.2 doesn't just install on our phone everything has to be packaged in a rom and if its not supported by htc we have to do it ourselves so if you look around in the forums you'll find a lot of good 2.1 custom roms and darchstar built a 2.2 froyo build from the ground up. Good luck.
What is darchstar's 2.2 rom called
Just wanted to double check, newbie here but willing to learn. You have to get to your phone into a root statues, at which point your going to flash a new rom onto it with either 2.1 or 2.2?

that is correct
its not too hard once you finally get set-up
i suggest trying out a basic rom without all the bells and whistles first
then once you realize you can load a rom and you mess with it for a bit, try flashing a new kernal, try using overclock, try out a new launcher even *adw or helix.....*, then if you're still feeling good you can try jit
by then you should understand a bit more.
I need a good Froyo rom for the sprint hero. Any good ones?
Most people on here would prolly flame u for not searching first nd im not by any means trying to be rude and btw the way welcome to XDA ... BUT u should at minimal do a search b4 posting cuz someone else more than likely asked the same question or if not u can find wat u r lookin for. Check out CM 6 by darchstar... it's prolly one of the only ones that r relatively stable at this point.

+1 on the research. Standard operating procedure is to check the forum (in fact, the very one you're posting in) for the thing you're looking for before asking. I join Vision in welcoming you to XDA, but please in the future do some basic research before asking questions, or worse, starting a thread for it.
CM6 by Darchstar, and the Extreme Blue/Vanilla, are the only 2 Froyo roms in existence for the Hero right now; even those are only "Tests", they aren't official releases. That said, if you are willing to accept a few bugs, the most recent version of each is pretty solid (I'm using Extreme Vanilla as my everyday).
It depends on what you're looking for. The froyo roms do not contain working flash.
You may look at NfiniteX's or there's that guys roms. Both have a2sd, jit, and full working flash based off the 2.1 ruu.

Not to mention this was posted in the wrong sub-forum, but I can fix that.
My Apologies
I have looked through the threads and was just curious to see if anyone really had a Rom to suggest. I have an Evo which I have rooted and installed my own Rom which I cooked my self. I was on here for my son because I haven't worked on Hero roms before, only Samsung before I switched to the Evo.
Sorry for the mishap.

CM6 Worked wonders for my phone. No Lag. Very Fast. I would suggest it. Lookup the topic and first post has links. you will need to flash gapps after the rom which can be found by searching.
how do ya do it? i used clock work mod to flash the latest vanilla and all it does it stay on the boot screen
you may have a phone that can't handle certain speeds, try darch's rc1, it's capped at 691 for people (like me) who can't boot anything higher. Also, make sure you wipe data, cache, dalvik, and sd extension
just rooted g1 on 1.6 with androot and installed rom manager do i still need to upgrade the radio. i want to run 2.2 and possibly overclock it any help would be great
There are numerous Froyo ROMs available in the development forum. Each with their instructions on how to install them and the requirements beforehand.
Most of these ROMs will have settings which you can use to overclock. If you are rooted, which you'll need to be, then overclocking wouldn't be too difficult with the available apps already out there anyway.
depends on which rom you want.
I recommend Sparksmod 2.1 which is what i am currently using.
Its very fast , one of the best froyo roms out there.
OH and ive recently been hereing a lot of good things about superaosp dm rom, I might actually try it myself, if i do ill let you know how good it is.

SuperAosp is lighting fast. I am using it myself, and I garantee it works like a charm. See my sig for the link to the Developer site. (FYI it's in Spanish, so you'll have to translate it if you do not read Spanish).
Thanks guys I appreciate all the info. I just need a little help for a friend. I didn't want to flash a Rom on his phone and him being a noob have a bunch of stuff crash and him get nervous about trying roms. Since I don't have a g1 I haven't tried any roms for it. Really appreciate your quick responses.

The best thing to do is read the instruction until you understand what needs to be done. Once you feel comfortable and understand the DEV instruction. Then there should not be any problem.
Maybe let your friend trial a couple of ROM's before he settles on his preference?
