I was considering re-rooting my G-1, and am fully capable of doing it without help, as i had it set up before cupcake's official release, on JF's cupcake rom. Mainly, i would like a 2.x Rom, that EVERYTHING WORKS ON!
I see a lot of different roms to flash, and basically want all the functionality of 1.6 stock plus the added perks of 2.x......
I see tons of roms with either camera not working, unstable, needs a different radio flash etc. Is there a 2.x rom, all inclusive of stock 2.x?? If there was a promise of an ota to eclair, i would just wait for it,but the only talk for the g1 and eclair are rumours....
reading through all the change logs to try and find one that everything works on is making my brain numb, and its all starting to sound like jibberish. I don't care about themes, as i like to set up my own homescreens, wallpa[er, widgets, etc...
any help would be appreciated, as i am not a develper and some of what the change logs show does not make sense to me, so if something in the rom says unstable/not working, i really don't want it to avoid functionality issues...
thanks in advance

There is not a rom that everything works because we are missing the drivers, thats why Camcorder and Video playback dosnt work on any Eclair rom. There are stable roms, like Manup v1.5 and KingxOver (not sure, but KingKlick + Herver = Good rom.) But you wont find a complete Eclair rom on the whole internet, so stop looking for it...want a fast and stable complete Donut rom, i suggest you to try CSDI v1, wich is totally amazing.
Stick with 1.6 custom roms for now until the development of 2.x is fully compatible and problem free. Unless you can provide technical data and good feedback to those developers just play it safe and content.
See my signature, tried and true its one of the fastest 1.6 Roms there is. Try it and you will see with your own eyes.

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
I like Ramjet r7.
Except for Cyanogen's rom (which is good) I'd like to try some others, as dxtop runs pretty slow on my dream.
Anyways, I use the EBl1 radio, obviously and the tutorial at Cyanogen's site says: Avoid themes, enhancements, add-ons or anything else that writes to the kernel. Be very sure before installing a theme that it is EBI1-friendly.
So if themes can affect the custom kernel surly custom roms wont work either? I'd just like a very fast rom, maybe to try out eclair or a hero build or something

Maybe you should try the Q&A section. You have over 100 posts i would be led to believe that you would know how to use this forum and not spam it with Q&A. At least not in the DEV section, that is Intended for DEV purposes.
You're right, I'll move this. Apologies.

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.
