Hi guys,
I was wondering, are android roms cross compatable? If I install a mytouch rom on a dream will it work?
Thanks
Most ROM Dev's will state in their OP wether or their ROM will work on the MT3G or the G1. Some also make ROM's for both. Just read the post before you try to flash anything to your MyTouch.

I will hopefully be ordering a g1 today and I have a few questions regarding the custom software available for the phone.
Is there a difference between the adp and rc builds? aside from one being made for dev'ing?
What is a hardspl, and fastloader and why do i need it, and will i need a custom boot loader for the g1?
And a ROM is basicly a firmware image right? which custom one is the most lightweight and fastest?
And once i get it I just root it and then install one of the custom ROM's?
Ive been with the psp scene since they've been out so i have a little know-how with these things but all of this is new to me
Thanks

This should answer all your questions.
Thanks! i never thought to look in the dev section ill look through it
Hey I was thinking of getting a mytouch 3g. I tried to find the answer on the forums but can't seem to find a direct answer...
Can we take any of these G1 roms and flash them directly to a mytouch? Please let me know, thanx.
if the rom is compatible with the mytouch, then yes you can. it will be mentioned in the rom's op
I see...
Thanx for ur reply.
np. cyanogens roms are compatible with the g1, as are many hero roms. it just depends on how the rom cooker implements the compatibilty
after i came back from froyo my video player wasnt working. i know that the froyo radio wont work on any cyan rom but my question is what radio do i need and where can i get it from. ive never flashed a radio before so thats why im asking. thanks
Development section sticky roms, radios , kernels.

Ok thanks just flash in recovery?
Hi all,
sry i have to start this topic but search here/other forums and even google gave me no results.
i whish to use Biffmod 2.1 on my HTC Dream /Dev Edition
in ROM topic is said:
"Radio Required: 2.22.23.02"
i just wanted to know (i´am EU-User) if i could go with "2.22.19.26i Non US" or is it simply not possible. so that i have to use 2.22.23.02
are there issues when using a US Radio in EU?
or does this have nothing to do with localisation
thanks and greetz
You can use both radio images, but probably you would like to use the +14MB RAM hack. You need a special kernel for that but this is existing. You should read in this thread and you can download the 2708-BiffMod from here.
To be honest, I never tried BiffMod. I am using Gingerbread now
thanks for the heads up.
but just to be clear. what you´re trying to teach me is, that flashing to a up(to)date radio and SPL (death spl) isn´t enough to run biffmod?
i even have to some how "manage" to get the 14MB+ RAM and ne kernel.
sry i´am a little confused now. working in this rom flash the whole day

You can use the "standard" method, i.e. DangerSPL, but I would not recomend it. You can gain additional 14MB RAM (not internal memory!) If you go with the other combo. The only "disadvantage" is, that you need a kernel which supports this combo.
It's your turn now to decide

After reading I'm assuming that the suggested route is following ezterry's hboot and radio update before installing Biffmod v2.1? I'm currently running a G1 with the 1.33.2005 HBOOT, 2.22.19.26I Radio, and CM6.1.0-ds. Also does Biffmod's ROM include the kernel or is it the ROM itself because ezterry's post suggested installing the kernel but I'm not sure if the ROM includes it.
Thanks
Hey guys i've got a simple question for you all. The question is, that are G1 roms compatible with the HTC Magic (32b). The reason i ask is because i just installed CyanogenMod 7.0.1 unofficial (SlashDW) rom on my phone, and it works perfectly fine.
Also, when you see roms in Rom Manager, they say for Sapphire/Dream G1 so i'm thinking, that it must be compatible. Also the roms which i see in rom manager, when i try to search them here, they all come under the g1 development sub board, so this leads me to think my theory is correct.
If i am correct, how are we meant to know, whether the rom is for 32b or 32a? or does it not matter? Sorry if they're simple questions, but i just flashed my first rom today so don't have much experience.
Anyways thanks for your help in advance.
depends on the rom... if it has auto-kernel or just a magic kernel than it will work for you... it's Ebi0 or Ebi1...
Thanks for the reply but please could you elaborate a little more, as i still don't understand fully. Cheers .
In the magic section they are generally specified by radio and if they are 32a or 32b. You just need to look at the title of the thread or the OP will normally tell you when you read it.
This will work on both
Ginger yoshi 1.4 (android 2.3.5) for 32b and 32a old and new radio
And this will only work with the NR (New Radio 6.32.13.19) which is not compatible with the G1
(ROM)CM7.1(2.3.5)Sapphire32a(NR-6.35.16.19)
While this one is only good for Old Radio's and 32A

This page will tell you the differences in the Magic 32A/B, and how to tell which you have. The HTC Dream/T-mobile G1 uses the same 32B board as some Magics.
As the two boards are very similar, many newer ROMs are built to use an installation script to auto-detect which kernel to use (the boot.img), but the rest of the system will be identical. In the descriptions for the ROM, look for words like "auto kernel" or "EBI0/EBI1".
I recommend the Bananna Bread rom. Works with mine Flawlessly amazing, and based on CM i think
who helps?
