Check which version is installed - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I installed a Cyanogen rom a while back but i dont remember which version i installed. I want to look at themes for this version without needing to update the rom...
is there a way to check what version of the Rom i am currently running?

First off, POST IT IN THE RIGHT SECTION. This thread is going to be locked and you could get banned for 3 days.
Other thoughts, heres where to find the version.
Settings> About Phone, scoll down to mod version.

Are you running a theme? If not... well then you are on 3.9.2. Time to flash Cyan is pretty good about updating his build numbers, I am on 3.9.7 and it says so
Good luck

I DONT run themes, they are childish to me, but thats just me.
TRUST ME I went from 3.9.3 to .5 .7 (I NEVER flased 3.9.2)
So I dont know why my phone tells me its 3.9.2, I have the Donut stuff (new browser, and power widget and so on) which was NOT available in 3.9.2 the donut stuff was NOT added till 3.9.3.
I HAD the lock screen with the battery status which was on 3.9.3 till Cyanogen removed it in .7
Weird!

How to go from Hero or other custom rom to cyan rom 4.2.5??

So i read this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p..._Android_1.6_.26_CyanogenMod_4.2.5.2F4.1.9999
but it flashes a radio which will cause a brick right?Obviously i have 26I radio w/ Haykuro Spl, so what now.
p.s. please dont reply if you plan on being unproductive
If you already have haykuro's spl you should be fine, I've ran hero and gone back to cyanogen's builds before. Yes, the htc file writes to the radio, but it allows you to keep those google apps which are no longer found in cyanogen's builds when upgrading versions of his roms.
reflashing the same radio again is bad though..
wow.. and you posted this in Cyanogen's thread, and made one here.
Aren't you a ROM developer?
Why not remove the radio from the HTC image before flashing?

you must have missed my first post or you are some kind of stalker to be bugging me like this...this really isnt helping im trying to sell my g1 but the r person wants cyan not hero so please stay on topic people..
you'll be fine just following the directions on the wiki page. flash the htc image, then 4.2.5. i've done it at least 3 times now. you'll be fine.

And obviously you missed the point of my post. If you are worried about flashing the radio, remove it from the HTC update, repackage the update and flash comfortably.
How could I have been any more productive or on topic?

How would the 26I radio interfere with the 26I radio?
did you even read the first 3 pages of cyanogens thread?
The answer is already there
it's the same radio, i can't even count how many times i flashed back and forth between hero and cm before i started using switchrom.

i haven't had any major ones. one time recently, it said it couldn't restore the nandroid backup of one of the roms, but i didn't really think anything of it. i just flash cyan 4.2.5, which i've been using ever since.

I agree, XDA has changed, but a lot of people are still dedicated...jcase, ivanmmj just to name a few.
I will try this tonight...
My initial guess is it SHOULD work... I have root and am running a custom ROM... so I will update and let you know tonight.
UPDATE: it installs, launches, but when I select "Start checks" it wont execute the system check... I might try a different version and see how that plays out.
thank you very much android!
i appreciate u comming in and making the effort here.
Got it to pass the System check, after updating to ROM 2.1 V.5.5.. works so far...

it runs pretty good... I did have to flash another radio on it though because I had issues with the one that came with it.
I just remove Sense for every ROM I install because I like nexuslauncher so much better lol.

Eh, I tried using metamorph on jamezelle's Sense-able 2.0 rom as well. I couldn't get all that I wanted to apply. Going on Stericson's post about metamorph (if you can't tell, this is the first time I'd ever used the program ) I assume there's not enough room in the /system partition. I have no idea how to fix that so I could do an entire theme (noob alert!).
but I did manage to change some images.
I'd love to see some themes for the eris

Lol, yeah. I have been giving it a good try, but I just don't understand enough about the process to do it well..
would any of the themes already made for sense ui be able to be ported over to the eris?

Root? Official Sprint Hero 2.1 Rom

Does anyone have any idea how to root the recently released ROM which is available on the sprint.com website? Or should I just go back to 1.5?
It can't be rooted (yet, possible ever) and you can't go back to 1.5... Sorry, man.

That's correct. You should root the 1.5 stock ROM, and then flash a custom ROM. Good info here:

Long time lurker, first time poster. Help, please...

Greetings. First off, respect to the devs, they do great work...
Secondly...my hero's pri is 170. The newer version is 220. Ive been going from stock to fresh 2.1.2, trying different radios and such.
I want to update the pri but cant seem to find a way to do it w/out losing root. I dont so much care about the root as i do not having the useless sprint apps on there. I was gonna install the .6 update then the older .5 version to see if the pri would stick-or even update.
Is there a way i can update the pri? Has the .6 version been rooted by the genius devs?
Id appreciate any positive feedback/advice/solutions. Thank you.

There is a rooted .6 version already in this section. It has superuser, busybox, and a2sd already. Check it out
It seemed to me that i didnt meet requirements to run that specific rom. It also had some stuff i wasnt so interested in.
I hate to be this guy, but you should post this in the Q&A section....
PS, there is no such thing as "not meeting min. requirements" If you have a cdma hero, every rom in this section will work for you.
Also, if there is something in a rom you don't want, you can always remove it.
my 2 cents.

you should run the RUU in my rooting guide under the second post. It WILL clear your data, but your PRI should be updated, then use my guide to root, and install another custom ROM.
Im not clear what to download from your links in your sig. I dont see a ruu listed. Or the root instructions that i have to use after i run the ruu. Please elaborate. Thank you

Cyanogen mod 6?

i'm not a dev, but how hard would it be to port cyanogen mod 6 to the vogue.
if somebody could give me a tutorial on how to do it i would love to bring it to you guys
i already have a computer with xubuntu on it (should work fine for the SDK) and i have the SDK downloaded but from there i got nothing, i am still not sure i even need the SDK for this port
I've got it ported, if you guys are okay waiting a couple of days I'll post it

Here you go, I've not got any plans to keep this updated as I just put it together for my wifes vogue. Everything works. See the cyanogen mod faq for answers to most of your questions.
It shows two copies of the file. I'm not sure why, but they're both the same.

Anyone trying this build want to compare it to dzo's?
anybody having problems getting this to boot?
you'll probably have to wipe data
i did wipe data, just put the newest nbh on the phone at 240x320
before it goes to the boot screen it says something
mount: system/xbin/su failed no such file or directory exist
can i just rename this to an update and update it over incubus rls10? (running off haret)

No, it's a totally different build, just updating will leave files from the old build and will end up being messy. At best you may be able install the system without wipig data.
I cant get it to boot.. it gets stuck at the boot animation and loops. im using latest froyo kernel on vogue.
Try using a 320x480 nbh if having problems booting.
EDIT: Sorry, for some reason I was thinking this was a sense build.
