ADP 1.6 vs Cyanmods "Donut"

Can somebody point me in the direction for where to find out what the differences between Cyanogen's take on Donut and the official 1.6?
I'm looking more at what's new in the ADP version that Cyanogen didn't put in his early version of it, than what Cyanogen did to his version on top of 1.6.
Cheers.

ADP 1.6 is stock version. No optimizations / enhancements. Official one from HTC

Yes I know that, I meant have there been any changes/things added to official 1.6 since Cyanogen made his early Donut rom.

Probably because ADP 1.6 is just that ADP 1.6 whereas cyanogen's donut is the code in the android repository aka AOSP

If you are asking because you are thinking about flashing the ADP 1.6 I suggest flashing one from the development forum that has been rooted because the one from HTC is stock and you will loose root access.
If you're just curious then download them and look around in the zip files, I find it kinda fun to unzip things

The one from HTC is for ADP1, which means that IT HAS ROOT JUST FINE. You do NOT lose root by installing an unaltered ADP1 image.
Root just works a little differently between the ADP1 image and the custom images... i.e. the "su" command works in conjunction with the root app rather than the su command being limited to root and shell users (for security reasons -- so that apps don't take over your phone).

Nice, now you can stick around here and help people. Remember there are a ton of people reading this that blindly follow guides. For me it's easier to tell them that they loose root, the people smart enough know what I'm talking about will understand and the ones who aren't shouldn't be flashing ADP1.

And just to be clear for future readers:
You are using the term "lose" loosely , because as long as you have the modified recovery installed, you can just install a rooted ROM and regain it.

Maybe I mistook this but it seems like the adp1.6 overwrites the custom recovery with a stock one

*cough cough* all the recent "no verification" threads would seem to beg to differ.

ROM closest to stock 1.6 but with root?

My G1 is running latest CM, was rooted ages ago using JF method, now running latest CMRecovery.
I want to go back to the stock donut 1.6, ideally the UK T-Mobile one, but I want to keep root.
The only ROMs I can find are either highly tweaked (e.g. CM, TheOfficial etc) or the stock update from T-Mobile which removes root.
Is there something inbetween?
Or is it straightforward to install the official 1.6 and do something to 'root it' in place, given that I still have the JF SPL and CM recovery?
Actually I am assuming that installing the stock from TMO will not replace my SPL or recovery!?

Well, the stock ADP1v1.6 firmware is 1.6 with root.
Enomther's "The official" -- rooted base is exactly the same as stock ADP1v1.6, but with the community root-app for added flexibility -- you don't need to install the expansion pack if you don't like.

And FYI: Enomther's expansion pack is very flexible. Mainly just adds a few critical things, like apps2sd, iptables, and tethering components.

Ah okey, I thought Enomther's base included tweaks like apps2sd, overclocking, multitouch etc. a re-read shows that stuff's in the expansion. So base is what I want!
Thanks!
I've got a NexusOne so am selling my G1. Wanted to advertise it as 'rooted' but keep things as close to TMobile UK standard as possible. The lucky new owner is welcome to add the expansion if they wish, or change to some other ROM.

any one click root for dmd64 or drc83?

Hi I just wanna ask if anyone here knows a one click root for android 1.6 dmd64 or drc83? Since flashrec fails to backup recovery image(could not run command). I just want to keep the market interface since the rc29 market is ugly or is there any other way to update a rooted rc29 1.5 to dmd6/drc83 without having to unroot? Or another thing is there any skin patch for the rc29 market? So basically I wanna have rc29 with a drc83/dmd64 market skin(interface) while using flashrec for one click rooting answers are greatly appreciated thanks!

[Q] Easiest, Safest path to CM6?

Hi everyone.
I recently bricked a G1 via Danger SPL and bought a new one. I'm merely a developer testing my games on the G1 however I'd like to have multi-touch functionality as well as 2.2 support, but I don't want to brick it. I'm on 1.6 right now.
What is the easiest way to root and then flash to CM6? I tried searching and only found old tutorials that said different things and I don't want to screw around, I just want CM6 running asap and not another brick.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you don't need the danger spl to run cm6 it says danger came out before the g2 I have ran cm without the danger spl theunlockr.com has an easy way to root the phone it also walks you through how to install the rom.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

You could just use the ROM bible in the G1 forum. It's really simple and I just rooted and flashed my G1 yesterday. If you need any help just pm me and I'll gladly you give any advice I know.

download universal androot from the market (or find the .apk online) and install it. It will root the phone without any trouble. Then use the terminal to flash a custom recovery.
Finally, flash the danger spl correctly this time or use firerat's mtd patch to install cm 6

Post above says I don't need Danger SPL?
What is FireRat's mtd?
Could someone link me to a direct tutorial for all of this?
It'd be awesome if I could get step-by-step on:
Flashing Clockwork Recovery
Safely Flashing CM6.
Will CM6 work without DangerSPL?
Are there other Froyo alternatives that are easier to get to?
Also, an easy way to alternate between 1.5 and 2.2 would be great. Something as simple as flashing a ZIP to get back to 1.5, then flashing a ZIP to get back to 2.2.

Downgrading from 1.6 to 1.5

Hello. I'm very new to the whole community, and also I tried searching the forums and internet, but could not find appropriate materials with active links. What I want to do is upgrade my phone to 2.2 froyo. Currently I'm with 1.6 Donut. I rooted my phone with Universal Androot. When I was reading cyanogen mod tutorial I saw that I need to use frashrec which requires 1.5. So I need to downgrade, any links or suggestions?

just search amon ra g1 or amon ra magic (depends on your device) and download the recovery image and put it on your sd card (don't put it in a folder). Then download terminal emulator from the market and just follow the instruction in the recovery thread to flash a custom recovery.
