Cannon Complete vs OpenEclair: Best ROM

Best Eclair Rom in your opinion,
Cannon Complete or OpenEclair.

OpenEclair hands down lol.

I like Cannon ;D whoever gets video first wins, which will be open eclair probably though...

when is a poll not a poll
when its not a poll
@TheDeadWalk,
can you edit OP and set as a Poll ?

about to flash 1.2.2 OE
I tend to not keep OE roms for long, I have a look see and drop, King's ROMs are much better imo.. and since CaNNon's was King based....
I was on Complete Eclair until King's Hero Eclair ( which is very nice )
but as I said flashing OE 1.2.2 , but I do read it has lots of stability problems, and isn't all that fast..... we shall see.
for the moment with a choice between OE and CE its CE easy
having said that CE 1.2 had problems ( Wifi, FB Contacts ect ) but if you read the thread I got round them quite quickly

i tried making a poll but have no idea how lol
if youd let me know how its done ill make it happen.
personally, im using CE right now with SetCPU @ 528 and its
quite quick!
Muuuuuuuuuch better than the laggy xRom build i had before.
with xRom, SetCPU would slow it down even more for some reason!

same here, i havent tried openeclair yet, but i like what i see in cannon's so far, so i'm not going to really change until a major update like working video/youtube comes out

More importantly how do you remove Eclair?
I've put Cannon on my wifes and now I can't get rid of it!!
Cyanogen Nanfroid will not restore and you can't wipe and flash another rom as you get a bootloop.
Frustrated.

Did you wipe everything?
If so. Backup everything on the phone and then partition it again.
Just a safety measure

So im still on Cannons Eclair w/ SetCPU at Min:528 ; Max:528 and its running pretty smoothly.
hows everyone else running?

canon's eclair is pretty nice and smooth , i havent tried open eclair yet, but i think the next version will be promising and stable, also as i mentioned in another thread, canon and kings eclair seem to only have partially working led's as they tend to turn off when the screen is on for notifications, supposedly openeclair has fully working leds...not that that has anything to do with performance lol. but if you can mind the partial leds, canons is faster at the moment from what ive heard

Need to flash the Defanged DRC83, then without rebooting flash the CM Rom you are after, as per instructions here

I swear there was an identical thread just last week o_o' Cannon has firerat's patch for 3D and video but openeclair will probably take over in the next update xD

Flash in browser

Would it be possible to port a hero rom broswer to a regular rom to prevent the crashes hero roms have. And maybe 3d and video on flash? Or just the flash itself?

NO!

Why and you could be nicer......

The reason he is not nicer is because this a once-a-week question that gets asked again and again, along with the now-famous "What's the best rom" question.
I'll be nice and answer that though. By the time you're done porting framework pieces needed for flash to work, you end up with essentially a Hero rom. It's been asked many many times, it's just not happening. If you want flash and semi-reliable rom then run a slimmed-down hero (without Sense and all other crap)
Good luck.

that was nice?...lol

calling all devs, i need your help!

as most of you know im going to be building a new 1.5 rom based off of gumbo 1.5c. i want to give the phone as much of an aosp/nexus style as possible. the bad news is there is no white stock taskbar themes out there for 1.5.
SO... im asking one of our talented devs to create one or port one to work on a 1.5 based rom. i will of course give you full credits. PM me if you interested!

I know what you're going for, but the reason we haven't done it is when you try to change the clock text in the taskbar it will bootloop. And if there is a way to do it, it would be a pain and there really aren't that many people here that are still on 1.5... I hope someone helps you out though. I would try but I(along with a lot of other people) hate working on things that I personally will not use.

im back & forth between 1.5 & 2.1 but i have several members interested in running a new 1.5c rom. damn i was hoping i could get that white taskbar too.
just something to play with until 2.1 officially drops ya know! actually according to the 1.5 & 2.1 customization page that godzon made there is a white theme that works on 1.5 but it's only for damage based roms. i just need this ported to work on a gumbo based rom.

that's what it says but i think it was for a damage based 1.5 rom. i tired to flash it and it caused a boot loop. i think it needs to just be ported to work on a gumbo based 1.5c/ pancake rom.

well you should let godzson know about that then. so theres no chance of this being ported then?
well ****.... maybe ill take pancake 2.1 or gumbo 2.1 and work with that then, i like the aosp feel.

Didn't know it was labeled as such until you pointed it out...
If the framework on your version of 1.5 is odexed (has .odex files in the /system/framwork), it is no small task to pull off, as the whole entire framework would first need to be deoxeded, so that you could then edit the services.jar file.
It's feasible, but not realistic, if this is the case, given that it's 1.5.

[Q] Froyo by Laszlo Questions (More at bottom)

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?

Yes you will, this thread might help you with partitioning your sd card for ext4:

its on page 3, but the whole thread might be helpful

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..

[Q] Good ROM?

I was looking at the rom FroSense [2.2.1] v1.0 and was wondering, is this a good rom to flash on my g1?

Hey,
Well it all depends on your definition of 'good'. What exactly are you looking for in a ROM? If it's speed and stability..I would definitely recommend Froyo By Laszlo. I used to always switch between ROMs but always ended up going back to Laszlo's!
FroSense Is also a 'good' ROM...but I personally didn't like it as much as Froyo By Laszlo.
Hope that helps a bit.. =)

Froyo by laszlo is definitely the best ROM.
It just seems...full, unlike all the other ROMs.
And its VERY fast, at least with my setup. Lovin' the swap!

Lol what is your setup if I may ask
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using xda premium

My Phone:
G1 - HTC Dream
ROM: Frayo (froyobylaszlo modded by me)...actually I did a few more tweaks to it so the link's a bit inaccurate
RECOVERY: Amon Ra 1.7.0
RADIO: 2.22.27.08
SPL: 1.33.0013d
4GB SD: 160mb swap - 1280mb ext4 - rest fat32
^I am getting the best results ever with this
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Its in my sig
I find that the swap really does help.

I have a very good friend that need a phone
and old g1 that need some love.
I been using different roms / radios / etc.
I would recomend Frayo - Froyobylaszlo mod
is fast and nice and you still have many apps to install
and after a week of using I say not random reboots or f/c and stuff

As others have said, Froyobylaszlo. I've tried loads of roms and always go back to this one.
Its easy to install, and it works great. Only thing I've done is app2ext and change to ezgb-2636 v1.5.2f kernel for better battery life(hopefully).
At the end of the day, choice of rom depends on what you expect from a rom, and this gives me all I need.

Unlike everyone else, I personally liked Ginger yoshi the most. It was super fast for me, and also supported a lot of things that my phone couldn't do But the kernal that I have (don't remember if it was included or not, but I think it was) also got me from going through almost 3 full charges a day with minimal use to about 1 charge (with a good bit of gaming and other use). So that's my piece... but I can say that I haven't tried any of the aforementioned froyo ROMs.

Well you should
They're good

Which ROM?
Frayo or Froyobylaszlo?
On those this is how you fix that:
Go to Settings>Extra>User Interface>Tweaks Extra>Reset UI Tweaks
(you don't have to reboot)
And for the battery drain you should always calibrate your battery after flashing a new ROM or else it will show innacurate information
Charge the battery to 100% (maybe even an hour or two extra)
Restart into recovery and do wipe>battery stats
Reboot and your battery should be accurate
