Best rom - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I'm currently running JACxHero 1.1 but I'm considering downgrading and I wanna know which is the best ROM to use I've used cyanogen but I'm considering a magic Rom instead but I also wanna put my ext3 partition to work as well as my Linux-swap so any suggestions.

Hero and Cliq questions

Sup all i've been learning alot lately and it seems to be going good but i still dont kno it all so ofc ill come here and ask
Hero Rom
1. Does most of the Hero Roms(MLIGN,KiNgxKxROM,maxisma,ect.) support Ext4 and will work just as the other Ext's
2. Do they work with that Switchrom script/app w/e u wanna call it, say i wanted to switch back and forth from Cliq to Hero Roms
Cliq Rom
1. Does this work with Haykuro's SPL
2. Does this work with Ext4
3. Does it get along with Switchrom aswell say if i wanted to switch back and forth from Hero to Cliq Roms

Looks like most hero roms support ext2/3. KiNgxKxROM rom supports ext4. Ext4 is still real new so I would stick with ext3. Switchrom script should work with all roms cause it's just a script to help make switching roms easier. As far as the Cliq rom you are asking I assume you mean the blur rom. I believe (but not 100% sure) that you will need the "danger" spl. I didn't see it in the description of the rom. Most devs will post the requirements in there posts as of what the rom will need.
yea i ment blur but ya i should had checked the post i downloaded it awhile ago just see the requirements didnt flash it yet either so i dont kno and, whats the diffrence between ext3 and ext4 if you kno thx Super

No problem. Both ext3 and ext4 both support journaling where ext2 doesn't making ext3 and ext4 safer to use than ext2. But you can read this from wiki to have a complete description

ext3

Hero (MLign) LEDs not working

My LEDs don't flash for anything.
I had the same problem when i flashed Herver a few weeks back. Other people aren't having problems apparently, and i was wondering what could be the source of the problem?
I repartitioned my SD card totally before installing the rom, so i have a brand new ext3 and 128MB swap. I also whiped everything before flashing the rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
You need the latest HeroLED app by Fictionles
search for it, its somewhere here on the forums (or you can download one of the roms that already have it)
also is it the sense mlign or regular hero mlign?
I thought it was suppose to work natively now though...
And it's Hero Mlign V3.0

Not natively.
I looked in the 3.0 zip and didn't see the app.

It's mostly just a personal preference, best advise I could give you is flash a couple and see what you like best

This thread has a rooted version of the stock T-Mobile donut build, and if you install the added expansion pack, it includes apps2sd and other features like tether, you can read all about it or download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456

Sense making partitions sizes - Help

Hi,
i want to partition my 8gb class 6 sd card with RA-dream-v1.5.2.
I use CyanogenMod the newest version and the HardSPL+newest Radio...
Which size would be making sense for swap and ext4???
I think for ext about 500mb, or???
And what is with swap size?
Thanks for help

well, as many of the threads posted by devs say, 512 is a good recommended ext size. as far as swap goes, you don't really need it for any CM builds. that isn't to say you can't use it. I always have my card partitioned at about 6.5gb fat32, 512 ext3 and 40 for swap because i got tired of repartitioning it everytime i wanted to flash a hero or eclair.
So i don't need swap for CyanogenMod???
Should i although give swap size 96???

Cyanogen does not use swap by default and it will not be activated unless you make it so. I would just because if you go to a rom that uses swap you won't need to repartition
Ok, so i make no swap, thanks....

Super-D & Wesgarner's roms are faster.Might wanna try those out.Cyan is good for those that want just the stability and normal speed.
But for those I need Danger SPL, or???
Are they stable like CyanogenMod???

they're a lil bit more iffy. i can't say for sure as i haven't given either of them a fair chance on my device, but from what i've heard, they're speedier. but for supreme stability, Cyan is the best. and just to be clear, you don't NEED swap for cyanogen, but it's always good to have it just in case you want to test out a hero or eclair build, you know?
and i'm not sure, but i think those do require the danger spl, but honestly, if you read the directions and know what you're doing, you can accomplish is with great success. i've done it twice already and both times have worked flawlessly.

You are right, they need the Danger spl
Yeah, but the question is, if i need an other rom than Cyan...
Have the roms any more functions or something else???
The Cyan has the advantage that i can Update with only my G1 and have often updates+many themes...
I heard that the Hero Roms haven't bluetooth, what i don't find good.
Are their else any differences or why do many people use hero or eclair roms???

for one thing, hero is GORGEOUS. eclair has supreme features and it's really sexy too. as of right now, eclair is my rom of choice, with a backup of cyanogen for stability. the only downside for eclair really is the camcorder, which will be worked out once htc releases the drivers. camera works now, as does practically everything else.
so to answer your question, yes, other builds have other features. but in essence, it's a matter of personal preference. if you want stability with good speed, cyanogen is a great choice. if you want a gorgeous look on your phone with awesome widgets, go with hero. for the latest features, then eclair is your rom. it's a matter of what you want.
Ok, so i think then i test hero and ecliar...
First i have to install danger SPL, have anyone good and safe tutorial???
And what are the best hero/eclair roms???
???????????????????????????????????
Super D
Just my 2 cents - I've found SuperD just as stable as Cyanogen, actually more so - never had an fc problem since installing 1.5 and then 1.6. If you've got DangerSPL/don't need it because you're on a MT3G, then definitely give it a whirl. i was really shocked by how good it is. Same with Dwang, although there's less in the way of goodies. Haven't tried WG yet.
I keep a swap partition on my card - 64mb personally. even if the rom ain't using it, it stops me from losing my data going to hero/eclair as mentioned above.
But with hero and eclair i have no bluetooth, or???
What i have to do now?
My SD 8gb sd card is partitioned: 96mb swap, 512 ext4
I have to update to danger spl and then??? Install a easiliy the rom, or have i to wipe or something when i change rom???

Please HELP!!!

I have ext4 but need ext3

hey guys, sorry to bother you but i want to use a hero rom, these require an ext3 partition, i have an ext 4, i don't think they are compatible (that would explain the mess of a flash my last tempt on hero was)
does anyone know how to go from ext4 to 3?
format the partition, create and ext2, upgradeFS.
cool thx, and am i correct that when i recover nandroid (made by nandorid +ext) it will restore the ext4 file system.
