I have only ran Cyan from day 1 after rooting. It's all I know. I have high expectations in his next stable and will probably be complacent with that build.
However, with that said:
Anyone recently leave a Cyan build?
What did you go?
What did you think of it?
I might flash it, create a nandroid in case I want to mix it up a bit after cyans newest stable comes out.
I'd give one of the Hero roms a go. Some are almost as fast as Cyanogen's buils.
For real? Which ROM? Did you have a 96 partition?
Hey,
I have always had a nandroid backup to Cyans latest ROM, but have lately been trying Mlign or Kings latest hero's. For me they both work very, very well.
Im running a Class 6 4GB SD with 96mb swap.
Im always updating to the latest release, and there always seems to be something better on the horizon, im very interested in the Pulse if that gets some love I will be switching again.
Best thing you can do is keep your stable release as a backup and then flash away, try a few different builds and see what suits you best. Bare in mind that different settings seem to give varying results, but as a rule if a dev gives you reccomended swap size then you should not ignore that, it might seem a pain to re-partition your SD, but moving from a 32mb to 96mb swap made a huge difference for me.
hope this helps you.
i'm kinda in the same boat. I've been using cyan builds since I first rooted my phone and have been thinkin about tryin something diffrent. One of the things that has really detered me from tryin builds based on other devices is some of the basic functions not working in the past like bt or wifi, especially wifi! However after reading this I'm gonna give Kings rom a try while I wait to see what "tricks" cyan has in store for his stable release.
are there any recommedations for the HardSPL
cause i dont want to switch to the DangerSPL
im still at cm 4.0.4 and its a bit buggy at the moment, so i have to wipe and want to try another rom
Now I'm on cyanogen 4.1.9999 waiting for 4.2..... for me il the best rom...

I suppose this is the right place to post this. Because it does say "Dream Q & A"
So here I go. After the first time of rooting my g1 and installing jf's rom and "lite bricking" my g1 from using the apps2sd2 app trying to partition my sd card "which it already was" and then finally flashing back to stock firmeware safely with no hicups
I'm finally deciding to get back onto the "root" wagon and I know there's a couple of roms out there for "advanced" and "nornal" users and (I'm kind of both) I'm wondering
And please don't flame me and say "u have to decide" or "search" because I don't want to pick a rom that's crappy(I'm not saying any of them are crappy) I just don't want a rom with a "dead" dev. And so I'm wondering out of all you guys here, And out of all the roms you've tried, which would you suggest is the best and why you use it so I can kinda see what I'm going to do here.
And please if you have nothing positive to say then don't say it ; )
Cyanogen is the best for me.
Cyanogen! The thing's he's done...just wow plain WOW

i do agree with this point.....even Haykuro admits that he is the one
Cyan's rom is hands down the best period. The constant updates and the fact that he is always around trying to fix things and add great new features.
Cyanogen's Rom FTW. currently at 3.6.2 with updates when needed. I love his rom and with A2SD i get 80mb of free internal space with amazing speeds!
I echo Cyanogen as well, however I've yet to try out Dude's new build with built in hero theme, HTC Music app etc.
There are other ROMs out there as well but it depends on your needs. If you need Exchange support then try one of the Rogers ROMs. If you don't know what Exchange is, then chances are you wouldn't need it so the choice is between Cyanogen and Dudes.
Dude's builds are amazing as well. He doesn't seem to be around that frequently now. I love CM's ROMS but if you want stability, like ABSOLUTE stability, JF all the way.
Hi, I just rooted and installed the recovery image. Which ROM is a good place to start? Preferably usable for every day use, but I think I'd like a vanilla-ish ROM if there's a good one. I hear a lot of people are using fresh?
Fresh is the one it seems most people use. It is my day-to-day ROM and I love it.
It is not Vanilla - it has all of the HTC apps and Sense, as well as the dev's (flipz) custom tweaks. The dev has a "kitchen" so that you can customize it pretty much anyway you like.
If you want pure Vanilla - the 1.6 ROMS seem to have everything working great with the exception of Bluetooth.
Have fun!
Yea i would start with Fresh or TTG's Rom
Gumb1.5b is nice too!
Alright, thanks guys. I'm gonna flash fresh so that I have a phone for when I go to class here in 40 minutes, and maybe play with AOSP 1.6 later today
Fresh 1.1 here. It has been very stable and suits my daily use.
Fresh 1.1 allll day,no complaints....soon to try the 1.6 donut though.
+1 vote for Fresh 1.1
It's my favourite for daily use so far. I'm also planning to try the AOSP 1.6 ROM(s) soon but if you like the functions of Sense and are not as comfortable with hacking together what you want on your phone (flashing bits and pieces of software to customize it) then I'd go for Fresh 1.1.
I have probably 90% of all the ROMS in the ROM Bible saved on my SD card/computer. I flash ROMS pretty much daily, because I really can't find anything stable enough to be a daily driver.
Whats the deal? I wipe caches, ext partition, everything between every flash. I feel like somethings wrong.
I usually run back to SuperE which is the most stable I've found, but I'm still yanking my battery out twice an hour.
I absolutely love my G1, but I hate how I have ALL this customization, you know?
When I can't even make a phone call, or text throughout the day, or my contacts aren't synced yet, it makes me pretty angry.
Help?
Hi, maybe a bit topic hijacking... but i was wondering.
You've mentioned you've tested 90% of all roms, the only version you can recommend is superE but this lacks some key features?
So ... does that meen default 1.6 would be best?

The only reason I like eclair ROMs better is because of the option to overclock to 576+ with their kernels.
If it were possible confused to OC to 576 I'd probably be using
CaNNoN202 Complete Eclairs ROM with that kernel.
But anyways.. maybe someone can help with my question?
Enomther has a great aosp 1.6 rom and i believe he is working on overclocking the kernel right now. U might keep up with that. Also has tethering and some extra vsapps u can grab with the rom. Good battery life and everything.

Hi everyone.
I'm sort of a beginner in this but still already flash some phones (g2, gravity, cliq, ...)
The hardest part for me now is to update this G1 that I have. It's a 32b devices
I've rooted, installed a new radio, dangerspl, spl-signed everything was a little bit confusing there for a while.
I've got Cyanogenmod 6 running on it. But I find it slow not so "stable" (it's working just feels very lagy with some fc). I'm guessing there's something missing.
What do you guys recommend for me to do so I can get a faster, updated rom on that phone?
Need some with at least android 2.1 on it
what partitions on sdcard? ext2 or ext3? pls advice
& have some patience with my request

Are you using setcpu to overlock your phone? If you're running a cyanogen rom or cyanogen based rom the overclock kernel is included, you just need setcpu from the market, or you can get it for free here on xda. It will allow you to overclock. If you are already overclocking, and you need a 2.1+ rom, I suppose you could try SuperE or SuperFly, they are fairly fast.

Personally I'd steer clear of Cyan roms until your more comfortable with setting things up, personally I don't use cyans but thats my choice.
I'd go with either EZterry's asop or the new enom 'official' that is out and has a few more configurable options. All the fun of the fair without the bloatware cm roms have and will ease you into the world of flashing
Relevant post, Gottijr, and thanks for responders. I got a G1 (with DMD64, 1.6 official tmob US latest upgrade) from fleabay for my daughter recently. I'm an experienced Winmo ROM modder/uploader/tweaker for years, but after many many hours of reading over the last few days I'm still a bit confused about what's really appropriate for this phone.
I've rooted so far, but can't seem to get a modified recovery image working ( likely due to dmd64 build?). Mainly curious what I should strive for in that I want primarily stability and app to SD since the internal memory is so limited. Not sure the Cyanogen mod is the right choice since I don't want daily use to require any tweaking. What would the experts recommend?
I don't want to hijack the thread here, but seems like a similar predicament.
Wipe?
With the newer CyanogenMod stuff I have found that wiping and reflashing the same ROM in recovery seems to help substantially on the FCs and lagginess.
I'm not sure why the full wipe / reflash works, but I suppose it has something to do with the inability to do a complete wipe. I haven't tried the new uber wipe that just came out, but I would be curious to see if that had better results as a starting point for a ROM install.
Also, I found I was happier on CyanogenMod with LauncherPlus over the included ADW Launcher. Though that was on the beta of 6.1 and I know the 6.1 stable has a newer version of ADW which might have addressed some of its annoyances.
I recommend setting up Titanium Backup for apps or using Droid Explorer to pull a backup of your ideal application environment. This will make swapping out ROMs quick for testing out what works for you.

For speed and stability its difficult to beat the SuperD 1.11 rom ....essentially a donut (1.6) rom stripped and then filled with 2.1 (eclair) goodness. Sweet.
Hello there, I recently flashed CM6 to my G1 and used Zeam for a faster launcher, but friends are telling me that when they used CM6, their phone got slower and slower as time went on, and that I should seek alternatives.
I hear one of the best Android 2.2 roms out there is Froyo by Laszlo, and from reading it seems the only major difference is that it can use the more recent radio/spl/kernel which adds 15MB, and that it's generally lighter than CM6 as well.
Can anyone give me a rundown on what some of the other major differences are? I also hear other good ones are ezterry's AOSP and Froyo for Trout.
As for upgrading the Radio and SPL needed for Froyo by Laszlo:
Considering I have DangerSPL (HBOOT-1.33.2005), RA's Recovery, and Radio 2.22.23.02, is there anything extra I need to worry about other than what's outlined in this thread?
Thanks in advance.

This might help you choose a rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079194
Your pretty much good with everything on the radio and spl, but check out the original thread just to make sure:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
I did look at the thread, but it still doesn't say what makes it so different.
I suppose the best way to know for sure is to try it for myself, so thanks for clarifying.

I have not tried froyo by laszlo, but i have tried cm6 , so i cant tell what the difference is, but another major difference is that froyo by laszlo has apps2sdext, which allows you to install apps in a ext3 or ext 4 partition on your sd card, while cm6 does not.
I noticed that, does it set up the partitions for you, or will I have to do this myself? What would a good size for them be?

Okay, thanks for that, I'm going to try it now.
EDIT: Last question, does the updated kernel for 2708 come pre-installed with Froyo by Laszlo or does that have to be done separately as well?
EDIT2: D'oh, nevermind, I saw it in the features list. Right now it's booting, hope it works!
EDIT3: Wow, they weren't lying, Laszlo did a great job, it's lightning fast! I'm not partial to the theme choice, but I know this can be changed easily.
Thanks for your help.
I do have a few more questions though;
1. How do I revert to the Android 2.2 Google Market? The new one feels a bit too cluttered to me, and flashing CM6 Google Apps did not change this
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I simply ended up replacing the lock screen with Froyo's, as well as tweaking the status bar (making it a gradient rather than solid black, for example)
ok my personal opinion... froyobylaszlo the BEST froyo rom hands down... only issue i find is that the developer stopped updating soo you can take it upon yourself to make changes if you dont like it.. but still to this day i thinks its the best.. sorry to offend anyone by saying that but its only my personal opinion... lazslo rom is just so smooth and stable..
my sd was 128mb swap and 1024mb ext4 and i used this kernel... http://www.4shared.com/file/1j_4eg7x/ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_.html
honestly you will love this rom but i recomend upgrading your radio and hboot... can follow this guide or the one you posted earlier by habbitat22, they are kinda the same..
