1.6 and hero - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello I am using mligin 2.1 and my question is... is it possibe to (after total wipe and re-root/ start from scratch) to root do the newest spl and radio THEN flash donut 1.6 THEN a hero rom? in other words to have donuts new features or do I need to wait for a new donut enabled hero rom? I have seen the rootable versions of donut for say CMods but just unsure if it would be disasterous to a hero rom. I kinda would like the new market and so on.
if it is possible which of the upates do I exactally need?
the TheOfficial Rogers - Enomther`s MOD - v1.8.4 or the The HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM or the The TMO OTA DRC83 US?
I still dont get why the adp and ota roms dont include all the same features according to AndroidSPIN ROM Database v12.0

the vending.apk in your hero rom would overwrite the vending.apk from 1.6. also all of your 1.5 hero frameworks will overwrite the 1.6 frameworks, and it would probably bootloop anyways since you have to wipe between an AOSP rom and a hero rom.

jacHEROski is based off the cyanogen 2.6.29 kernel which does not have multi-touch support. If you want multi-touch look for ROMs based off the daproy kernel.
JACHero2.7.3 & Drizzys new Hero ROMs (except 2.5) support MT.

Donut market on a hero build?

Can the Donut market be put onto a hero build wuold it be as simple as pushing the market apk or is there more to it then that? and if pushing it is possible what are the commands for cyan 4.1.11.1 donut market to jacheroski 2.2b.
not possible. Hero = android 1.5
THX 4 the help
makes sense and another question, if im using jacheroski 2.2b with the extra ram hack and I flash back over to cyanogen 4.1.11.1 will I still have the ramhack ? and what if I did a nandroid restore of cyan would it still be there?
No RAM hack is kernel based. The kernel is located in the boot.img so if you make a nandroid backup yes the kernel hack will be in the backup
cool
thx just wanted to know if it was kernal.

Questions about FroYo

Hello,
I am new to Android, and some help would be appreciated with this question:
Is there CM ROM or SuperBad ROM for Froyo? If there is not, is there any ROM for FroYo that has everything working?
no CM Froyo yet... here this is working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702191
Thanks johnnie93,
To root FroYo, I should first update my N1 to froyo and then root using the normal ways, right? (I mean that if I root it while it has default version 2.1 on it, will it stay rooted after update?)
And are there any themes availaible for FroYo?
By the way, one question about the touchscreen: Does the Desire have better touchscreen than the n1?
you need
1.custom recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
2.the new radio http://rapidshare.com/files/394280723/Step_One_Froyo_Radio_Update.zip
3.then just update to froyo its already rooted by Paul. But dont update to froyo with the stock radio.

No they are the same.
Thanks alot,
So I install custom recovery and the new radio, then I install the MoDaCo rom for FroYo?
And one questions about the "new radio": Does this bring Radio to N1? (I don't mean Internet Radio, I mean normal Radio like every other phone)
And are there any themes for FroYo?
Radio doesn't mean FM radio i think its 3G and signal fixes and yes you install the custom recovery and then the new radio then FroYo from Paul
So once again to verify, the order is: Update to FroYo, install custom recovery, install new radio, then install the MoDaCo FroYo ROM?
And you didn't say that are there any themes for FroYo?
NO first custom recovery then radio then froyo.......
Ok one more question:
A ROM is not an update, right? I have to download and install FroYo from google and then install the ROM?
and u didn't awnser my theme question...
No the ROM is the update.... and for themes just check http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=560
All themes in there work with the ROM you told me to install and froyo?
not all themes just search and for compatible themes with froyo and the ROM your downloading is the Froyo update + Root +

And this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700703
I didn't understand one thing:
By paul's froyo you mean:

or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686631 ?
The first one.
Do I need the second one too?
The first one ONLY!
Thank you alot.
no problem
One more question (I'm sorry I ask too many questions, I'm totally new to Android): If I upgrade to FroYo and I regret it, Can I downgrade back to 2.1?

Downgrading to Eclair with 2708?

I've been using Biffmod 2.1 on my G1 for a couple days, including the upgrade to the 2708 radio. But I'm just not happy with the speed. I'm assuming if I roll back to Eclair, the speed will be better. But do I have to downgrade my radio too, or can I flash an Eclair ROM, then flash a 2708 kernel on top of it?
Why not try an updated Biffmod 2.1, or one of the ota 2.2.1 roms first? Ezterry's OTA and Froyo4trout are pretty fast.
As for downgrading, I don't see why the universal kernel patch wouldnt work, but I'm not sure.
you can just flash the eclair rom over your exisiting rom(wipe first ofc then flash preferred eclair rom, universal kernal patch, then firerats spoof spl.)

Is the flashing of a new radio and SPL actually necessary? When I had a g1 I frequently switched between cupcake, donut, eclair, AND froyo ROMs. I never had to flash a new radio or SPL between ROMs. Just do a wipe between flashing roms, especially between firmware versions (what I mean by that is you should do a full wipe, cache, dalvik cache, and all betweem different versions of android, such as 1.6 to 2.1 or 2.1 to 2.2, etc.)
Ya, that's right. The radio shouldn't make a difference in the rom once you flash the kernel patch. I just didn't see that much of a speed difference between froyo and eclair. If you wanted a speed boost, donut would be your best bet. Its the fastest on these old phones.

I think eclair was probably worse than froyo since it was a port from the nexus one if I remember correctly. Google included the g1 drivers in the source code for froyo, so it was a straight up AOSP build, no porting necessary.

[Q] Eclair vs Froyo ROM

Hi guys, i'm going to flash a new rom to my G1 soon, but before i do that, what would be faster? An Eclair rom or a Froyo rom? Thanks for your help (and sorry for the stupid question)!
It really depends on the rom for me i stick with donut roms and trick them out with the latest ADW and a theme and maybe beautiful widgets donut is the fastest and best with battery life but as far as eclair vs froyo
Eclair roms are down the drain so try biffmod
USe the thank button
From my experiences, Eclair is definitely faster for me than Froyo. If you want to try out an Eclair ROM, I would suggest SuperE. It's definitely the fastest Eclair ROM I have found.
However, just like the poster above me, I would recommend Donut ROMs. I just went back to Donut ROMs, and I love the speed it gives me. I think I'll be sticking with Donut ROMs until I upgrade my phone.
I would say froyo. Try biffmod 2.1 with 2708 port, this thing is as fast as any eclair or donut rom for that matter. 15mb radio/spl hack does wonders.

Yeah I agree Froyo is bound to be faster since it isn't a ported ROM. Most or all of 2.1 ROMs are based off of CM5.0.8, which was a port from the Nexus One. When google released the AOSP source for Froyo, they included the G1 drivers natively. They are much more stable than the eclair roms.
But, like others said earlier, donut is always going to be faster on the g1, but less apps are supported.
