Hi I saw somewhere that a 'Rogers' ROM is basically a cupcake with the HTC dialler added, could anyone recommend a recent Rogers ROM worth flashing?
Had a search in the dev section but couldn't find anything recent. Any cons to the Rogers ROMs?
(Giving up on Hero due to lag. Yeah, I tried!)
Soullife's Rogers 2.9.2. I'm recently changing roms, testing new experimental and Drizzy's builds, but Rogers is great due to speed + full exchange support.
Cool thanks. Is it the actual HTC dialler or something similar?..

There's several versions of the "Roger" ROM Build in the dev section. Most of them though, aren't being working on currently besides a few, but here's a complete list to get you going:

I've tried all the different Rogers build & can recommend both Virtudude's V3, or Soulife's Roger Remix depending on what you want to get out of the rom. Soulife does a great job bringing Cyanogen's new kernel's & trying to optimize his build to be as fast as possible along w/ the great features you'd expect like apps2sd, stable, themes, etc.
If you want just a stock build that don't automatically push apps to sd, stable, etc. I'd recommend either Virtudude's V3 Mod, or my own updated version of Virtudude's V3. It's built w/ the latest updates which is basically equivalent to a CRC1 build of the HTC builds plus other updates as well.
Most people who run the Rogers builds need the build in support for Exchange, the dialer, & the camera. I personally like the mail program, dialer, camera apps. The Rogers build do have a quirk about some widgets don't like to update after a while or get "stuck." It personally don't bother me, but I can see how it would annoy some. As much as I was excited about hero, I prefer the stability of the Rogers build. In the end, it all comes down to personal choice. Hope you find the build you like. Oh btw, right now personally, I'm swapping between my V4 mod & a modified Soulife 2.9.1+ the CRC1 updates & a couple of other updates. Both are running great. Hope that helps. Take care.
Ditto... Soulife Rogers is the most recent and updated Rogers rom.
It IS the actual HTC Dialer and has full exchange support. It's extremely stable and fast much like Cupcake.
I'm running Soulife's latest, and this is the first time I've run a ROM and felt absolutely no need or desire to change to something newer or different, been using Soulife for a few weeks now and don't plan on changing anytime soon, super fast, super stable, all the features I need and want (and I run OpenHome on it with Hero theme).

Hey vr24,
Did you ever try CRC1 update build I did for Soulife's 2.9.2 posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4289989&postcount=629
Just curious, I know NexVision was testing it & said it was running well, but we didn't seem to get any other feedback on it. I'm looking forward to Soulife getting his laptop so he can start working on things again. Since other were saying they were having some issues w/ 2.9.2, I did another re-build of 2.9.1 w/ the CRC1 update & was able to get Cyanogen's Dalvik VM from Donut from 3.9.1 working on it as well. That's what I'm currently testing. I've been running that for 48 hours now & haven't had any issues. I was going to post it in Soulife's thread if others were interested.
I'm running a straight 2.9.2 with the Hero theme slapped on top.
I am running Swapper and it's speeding it up noticeably even more, and the latest release of OpenHome is much faster too as they updated the process handling.
I'm really having no issues, nada. I may not be doing the same things that others are having issues with, but I wach videos, take pictures/video, use full exchange, have a ton of apps, widgets, etc... and everything run's super fast, no lag.
So I probably won't upgrade to anything for a little while.
Wow, thanks so much, missed these replies!
Will try out Soullife's now...
Also ... quick question about backup / restore if anyone can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4367316#post4367316

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.
hi, i've been out of touch from the rom scene for about 4 months. It confusing for me now.
I want a fast,light,good battery,daily use ROM AND a fast, high 3Dperformance ROM.
My Current Specs are:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF;
HBOOT-1.33.2005(DREA11000);
Recovery:RA-dream-v1.7.0;
CPLD-4 ;RADIO-2.22.23.02 ;
Plz help me find:
ROM
Radio
Bootloader
Recovery
Kernel
ROM: Any would works the same. My preference is SuperAosp 6.4.2. There is also [ROM] [MAR 1 2011] Froyo by Laszlo - Just Another Awesome Rom 5.2 that looks promissing. There are other like ezGengerBread, etc...
Radio/SPL: Use ezTerry 2708+ enabled kernel [14MB ram with radio 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25 & hboot 1.33.0013d]
Recovery: You already have the best one out there. I recommend that you keep the Amon RA.
and if you not too sure about how to prpely use fastboot, you can use this guide on how to upgrade via recovery... and yeah for a fast stable rom i would also go with froyo by lazslo
you can try skyfalcon's ROM base on CM 6 , i use it ..and iti very ok..here is the link:
http://droid4all.blogspot.com/

Jawwad_shaukat,
Would you mind giving me short instructions on how did you upgrade to gingerYoshi.
1) u must have a rooted phone (mine is T-mobile's G1).
2) Flash Recovery e.g Amon's "RA-dream-v1.7.0" for G1
3) Flash SPL (be careful here) mine is "Hboot: 1.33.0013d" [latest and Best] b4 that i had "HBOOT-1.33.2005" [its OLD now] and b4 that, the stock one.
4) Flash Radio: 2.22.28.25 [its Best&Latest also generally referred as "+2708"]
5) Flash any new custom ROM ["U MUST FIRST CHECK WHAT REQUIREMENTS (of Radio,Bootloader, Recovery) ARE FOR THE SPECIFIC ROMS"]
I can be wrong as I keep away from ROM business for many days and forget things,
So certify this from some active user first ( i hope it's OK btw)
.......And Do Everything At ur OWN RISK Carefully.....
More ROMs Pls.
I've been running the Chromatic Dream on my rooted G1 for too long. Is there any ROMs' out there by now that are stable enough to make my G1 a daily user again without so many FCs and battery draining? I'm thinking about giving it to my daughter since I have the G2 now. Thx in Advance.

Hello!
Sometime ago I started reading some threads about Sense ROMs for Dream.
Today, I got a HTC Dream G1 but I don't know where to start.
The ROM will be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107943 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265264 (the second one is better I suppose but please tell if you know any better REAL Sense ROM).
My G1 has RA-dream-v1.7.0 recovery and CM6 now installed. I don't know if it is 32b or not and if it is DREA110 or 100. Radio is 35.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I. And it has the DeathSPL.
Do I need to flash modded MTD recovery? And what swap and ext4 partitions sizes will be the best for me?
Make sure you have the current radio/SPL, if not update it.
Then...
Do nanobackup, and wipe then flash the rom and all the required files.
Then you are good to go.
Could you please give me links to the radio and spl you mean? Is it safe to flash them over my current setup?
Which one of the above ROMs is better for everyday use?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Just follow the instruction from here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139&highlight=2708
As far as for ROM goes, if you like Froyo build, I would recommend either DreamTeam Froyo (stock looks) or Froyo Melt (DT Froyo with Custom Themes to select from)
for CyanogenMod flavors, I recommended BananaBread or NameLess Froyo.
If you wants Sense ROM then any of them will do.
My girlfriend's old flip phone broke, so I set her up on my old G1 with cyanogen 4.
She likes it but it is android 1.6 so a lot of apps don't work.
I see a lot of roms talking about flashing radios and such and am lost (I am spoiled by safestrap on my D4).
Was looking for a good gingerbread or later rom that will function (calls,wifi,gps,bt,audio,camera,etc) and a detailed how to on flashing the rom and any required radios/kernals/etc. I tried cyanogen 6.1, but it kept rebooting.
Thanks in advance.
EzGingerbread is very stable and eeks just about every last drop of speed the old G1 is capable of providing. The opening post of that thread has pretty extensive instructions.
He also provides links to older versions of apps that work well. Newer versions of some apps like Maps are just too bloated to run on the G1.

Check out Royalknight6190s ROM Bible, and my recently posted G1 Oracle. I would recommend Feoyo by Laszlo, or any of the variants. Gingerbread is not a great idea on the G1. Take a look in the G1 XDA wiki for guides. Google's a good resource as well.
Do your own research if you want a ROM that lives up to your OWN personal needs. Which will probably be speed on a G1. So go for something old and lightweight.
Also, this is a development forum this thread should be in Q&A.
I agree that Froyo by Lazlo was a good build, but you will need to flash a different kernel over it - either Farmatito's or EZTerry's. There's a known battery drain bug with the stock kernel.
thanks for the input guys, I finally hunted down the old hboot and danger spl files, as well as a tiny gapps and have cm6.1 on it.
I might have to add in the EZTERRY 14mb hack, but that will have to come later.
