Can you type like someone who is literate? Its hard to read while you use words like "betta"...
There are forums for each of your requests. Go do the searching yourself because everyone has different preferences on what apps are "needed" on their phone, and you'll have to choose your own ROM depending on what you're looking for in one. Radios and SPLs rarely have to be updated unless the ROM you're upgrading to requires it.

but i just wanna noe watt would be some10 that works for the g1

That last post was completely incomprehensible, try again?
Anyway, just look in the development section and find a ROM you like...JF 1.51 is a safe bet..

Say your sorry or I'm gonna have a bad day at work and go home and kick the dog.

relax....
So u rooted. Just search like evryone else said its all up to u what u wanna do. Just search and you will find. Take your time. And no matter what Ur going to do make sure u update Ur radio b4 haykuro's spl otherwise you will brick. Just read around and see what sounds good to you. Its hard to try to point someone in what direction they should go becuase like we all said its all based on what you prefer to do. If u need help pm me. Or hit me on gtalk. To get an idea to see what others have done just read our sigs at the end of our posts.

thanks i will n which one is newer the haykuro's spl or the HTC radio or s dat not the same

one more thing....
You have to try to speak in Ur best English as possible. Most of the people on xda aren't from America so understanding slang won't be easy for them. I grew up in the hood in philly so outside of here I speak in slang myself. But you just have to realize there is a time and a place for everything.

spl is newer
The spl is newer I believe. But in order to install the spl u need the new radio image 1st. If you install the spl b4 the new radio you will brick Ur g1. So the radio is needed if you plan on running a Rom with the 1.5 or above frimware.

OO awrite good looking out i jst figured most people did but i guess not and your right there is a time and a place for everything

First we aren't picking on you, just trying to understand what the f*** you are asking (You aren't making it easy).
An SPL and a radio are different. The radio starts the SPL, as a result you need to flash the newest radio (Linked from Haykuro's blog) and then Haykuro's SPL. Otherwise you will end up with a $400 paperweight.

so thats probaley how i bricked my last two phones. see dis why people need too like put stuff N order becuz jst telling people what it suppose to n how it helps doesnt work out. So i update the rado then the spl so do u know where i can download the newest radio

Now that we are one big happy family here is the new radio and spl.

Also you might want to install the new recovery image (cyn 1.3.1)

yes

Your right he should do that also. It helps when it comes to noobs with the built in nandroid recovery and the orbs goodies.
@illrific you see its hard to just say off the bat the steps you should do with Ur g1. I forgot to mention the recovery image, even though I have it myself. Just search and cruise the forums to see what looks good. Read and reread eveything to avoid simple mistakes and bricks.

ugh that site wont let me download it

Rom Identification for a Noob

I am trying to find information regarding the Rom that is on my HTC 8925.
When the phone boots up I do have a splash screen that says Dutty's Series.
I go into Settings>System>Device Information to find:
ROM version: Touch v6.1 WWE
ROM date: 02/19/08
Radio Version: 1.70.OliNex
Protocol version: 25.65.30.04h
What ROM do I have and where can I have find some information regarding this ROM? I have done some searches for Touch v6.1 WWE and Dutty v6.1 WWE, but to no avail.
Thank you in advance.
from the ROM date and the fact that u have a dutty's splash screen (which doesnt really accurately show what rom you are using) this would most likely be your rom.

any btw your radio is a patched radio that's used for unlocking. u might wanna update that

Thank you for responding.
How do I update my radio?
I am pretty green, when it comes to modifying anything like this. Plus, I do not want to do anything that I could possibly render my phone useless for awhile, since I do not know what I am doing.
Thank you for your assistance.
Radio Upgrade
Do I really need to upgrade my radio?
I am frankly scared to death to do anything like this with my phone in the fear of bricking it.
Thank you.

Ill help you out. What you do is go into the radio thread and down load a different radio. I use 1.65.21.18 with Josh's new 6.5 super ram. When you download the file it will show up like a new rom. Flash it like you would a rom. and you are done. It really is trial and error to find the one that works best in your area. If you need any more help just let me know. I was the new guy not to long ago so I feel your pain. While in the radio thread read all the posts when you can and it will help.

I have only had the phone about a month, so I am just trying to get use to it. So, If I am having trouble with signal and/or battery, I may not know it as of yet.
Once again, I am very leary about flashing.
I was to My first time, but once you learn how and get used to it you will love trying out different roms

I know exactly how you feel Grey, but I thought sod it, best bet (someone correct me if i am wrong) hold down the camera key and hold in the soft reset button. If it comes up with the tricolour screen and it says something like SPL-1.0.OliPof. If that comes up the scary bit has been done and someones already put HardSPL on the phone. Chances are they have if you already have a custom ROM on it.
Now the hard bit will be is what ROM to put on it. Just read how to flash it but the easiest way is to do it from the SD card, and always flash the HTC stock ROM between custom ROMS, it helps u avoid any problems.

Themes are pretty ROM specific. ...Thats all there is to say. Apparently you flashed theirs with the crb43 jf rom and yours with the adp.
Soooo...depending on what theme you want, install the relevant ROM if needed.

you know what works really well? NOT POSTING A NEW THREAD. there is this awesome little button it says "edit" you should go there and edit your post to include more complete info rather than starting a new thread.
also if you are unwilling to wait around for an answer here then you obviously don't need an answer that bad, not too many people are gonna email the answer to you as we don't have time to do that, and it is better to have the answer on xda so someone else can search and get the answer rather than starting a new thread about every little problem they have.
if they want to flash a theme to their phone they are gonna need a rom that has themes available, or they can switch to thedude's buid which comes prethemed with manup's blue and black(1.2 rom) i don't know about the 1.3 rom but i'm pretty sure it comes with a theme too

Some questions Im kind of a noob =]

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.

Well I don't think a new version of the SPL will come for a while ... but the radios I believe are from HTC .. (someone correct me if I'm wrong )
Wait so were using official htc radios or are devs taking and modding them
I believe official, there isn't much to mod in a radio is there?

Google G1 Tweak Question

Hello! My name is Kevin, but you can call me SMOR3S.. I am a nerd, brony, musician, artist, and erm... an excellent cookie maker :3
I recently got a new phone from my friend Joseph.. The Google G1 (HTC Dream).. It was free, so I couldn't complain at all... In the past, I have owned a few droids like the Motorola Cliq XT, and the LG Thrive, which honestly weren't anything special.. I already bought an unlock code for my AT&T prepaid SIM card, so that is taken care of.. I'll get into the system specs, like OS version, then I'll ask some questions...
Model: Google G1 (HTC Dream)
OS: CyanogenMod
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-6.1.0-DS
OS Version: 2.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod [email protected] #2
Baseband Version: 62.50SC.20.17U_2.22.23.02
Build Number: FRG83
Okay.. That does it for the specs I think..
Joseph put this version of Android on before he shipped it out.. I'm not the best when it comes to droid modding, since I never touched my other phones before, but I would like to learn, and I would like to make my Google G1 a bit speedier..
I have a 4GB Micro SD, with everything, that I could, moved to it.. Joseph also said, that he made a second partition, and moved something to it.. I forget what he said, but he said it made the OS faster erm... He works in a Linux server facility that does things like asp.net, so I don't doubt his expertise..
My question is... What things could I possibly do to my droid, that could speed it up more.. I already looked into OCing programs, but the ones I have found, don't support my phone..
Process load time is a bit slow also.. Like using Facebook, Dolphin, TweetDeck etc... I don't have anything, other than 6 apps, on the main desktop windows..
Thanks...
Sorry if my terminology isn't the best..

ok cool your friend obviously knew what he was doing as he basically gave you an already perfectly modded phone well there are lots you could do but as said most of these include changing roms now those spects i asked you for they determin what kind of roms you can use there are lots of roms developed on here in the g1 android developmentsection.the first thing you might want to do tho is upgrade that RADIO AND HBOOT as there are now newer versions you have alot to learn but here is a lil push.
the first thing you should know is BE VERY CAREFULL DOING STUFF ESPEIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THAT HBOOT.
you want to install a recovery you will need to know about android sdk(just a program you will use to use a computer to interact with the phone google and download it where he talks about fastboot or adb it is included in the android sdk program) amon ra recovery
here is a rom that dosnt need you to mess with that hboot cron mod rom
btw i asummed you had a rooted phone meaning it gives you full access to file system if you dont just get it via a program named superoneclick

Oh sorry... I need to read better :3
*EDIT* So I put the RA v1.7.0 Recovery on... I am still in need of updating my radio before I flash the ROM to CronMod 1.0.6.
This thread about CronMod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641692), says, that I can have either the HBOOT as version, 1.33.2005, or 1.33.0013d. I currently have 1.33.2005, but should I update it to 1.33.0013d?. Also, what radio should I update to, cause my current radio is 2.22.23.02.
Thanks,

Link, and did you read my post thoroughly?
yes I did, the thread I am refurring to will give you the .13d hboot which will give you 14mb more ram, this is HUGE for the g1 and would recommend doing this. just be carefull as playing with firmware (radio, spl) can cause a brick if you don't know what you need.
yes you can use the radio/spl you have now as it will still work with many roms, if you would like more (and in my opinion) better rom choices then I suggest changing your spl, not saying cronmod is bad, its quite good, but better with the ram hack and many other nice roms are only avalible to you with the .13d spl
