Someone double cheak for me please...

I'm just trying to see if I have this correct...
I have a rooted phone with JF1.5 dp1
Radio 1.22.12.29
SPL 10.95.3000
I want to update to Caynogen Rom..
These are the steps I'm going to take...
Partition SD for a2sd
Update to Caynogen Recovery
Flash radio: 2.22.19.26I (If there is a tutorial on this?)
Flash SPL: 1.33.2005
Then finally wipe and flash Caynogen Rom v3.6.2
Is there anything I'm missing?

Nope that's pretty much it. You do not HAVE to flash the new spl..1.33.2005. Not required. to flash the radio just rename to update.zip and flash normally like you would do with a ROM. From my understanding the only 3 things you MUST do, are upgrade the radio to the latest and wipe and flash. CM works w/o Apps2SD and the recovery image is not a requirement. However your approach works perfectly so go for it Careful with the SPL though.

If I don't HAVE to flash it then why should I bother?
Is there any advantages/disadvantages to doing or not doing it?

You don't need to. It's only needed if you want to get a hero ROM onto your phone later on. It gives you ~30 more mb on your /system. So instead of a total of ~72 mb internal you have about roughly 90+ internal.

But if Im doing A2SD the internal memory shouldn't be a problem?

Yup. So just follow the steps you listed but take out the flashing of the 1.33.2005 SPL

[Q] Update to CM6? or Stay on CM5

I'm thinking of updating my G1 running CM5.0.8 to CM6.0/6.1. I'm kind of hesitant for two main reasons:
1. I'm not running Danger SPL (I'm using a modified CM5 ROM)
2. I use apps2ext and CM6 doesn't officially support it
Are there any great improvements in CM6 over CM5? Also how much danger is there in flashing Danger SPL.
Fastboot screen is:
HBOOT-0.95.0000 [this is stock spl right?]
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02 [I believe this is compatible with Danger SPL]
Also, do Nandroid backups backup the SPL, because I'd like to keep danger SPL in case I want to go back to CM5.
I have RA-dream-v1.7.0 recovery.

In my opinion, CM5 is better in terms of speed and stability than CM6. I've always had problems with Froyo ROMs slowing down over time, and it is quite annoying. The only Froyo ROMs that work fine for me are the ones based on AOSP, not Cyanogen. I think it is because of all the extra added on stuff that comes along with CyanogenMod ROMs. If you want a 2.2 ROM, I would suggest either the 2.2 AOSP, or GammaFly.
As far as your SPL goes, yes, you do have the stock SPL. It's very easy to upgrade to DangerSPL, so I recommend that you do it. It will be a lot easier to flash ROMs, since you will not need a modified version for it to install. However, if you want to use a 2.2 AOSP ROM, such as GammaFly, you need to have the latest radio and SPL installed. You can find them here, and the directions are in the post.
Last, your SPL and radio aren't touched when you are wiping your phone, therefore, it doesn't back them up with nandroid. However, no matter what ROM you flash on your phone, you will still have DangerSPL. Once you have it, you have it until you un-root your phone, or change SPLs.

Thanks. Two more quick questions.
1. Do either of those ROMs have apps2ext or do they just have normal Froyo apps2fat?
2. Is the ext partition on my sd card erased when I wipe from recovery?
Edit: Oh and does the AOSP ROM have root?

1. I don't use apps2sd, but I'm pretty sure that the AOSP ROMs have the apps2fat. I think BiffMod might have apps2ext, but I haven't used that either. BiffMod has always run slow for me for some reason, that's why I didn't suggest it.
2. I'm not 100% sure on this one. I'm guessing that if you wipe the ext partition, it takes away the partition. However, I've never really understood if that option in Amon_RA's recovery just deleted the contents of the ext partition, or if it actually erased the ext partition itself. I never really mess with partitioning my SD card and apps2ext, so I don't really know a whole lot about that topic.
And yes, the official AOSP ROM on these forums, and GammaFly both have root. Any ROM you find on here will be rooted.

I like using apps2ext because I can put any app I want (except system apps) on the sd card. From what I understand, you can only use apps2fat with apps that support it.
I also took the chance and did a nandroid backup with and without ext and did a full wipe from recovery. It only wiped all apps in system and some other things I flashed (fixes and such). All apps on the ext partition were still there.

[Q] Kernal issue (from a noobie)

I have a Dream/G1 32b.
Partitioned my SDcard to ext2>3>4
I believe I successfully installed:
Custom MTD (but have no clue what this did or didn't do)
Radio 2.22.28.25 and
SPL/Hboot 1.33.0013d
I had Cyanogen 6.1.0/Android Froyo 2.2.1 on here, but now it doesn't run?
G1 screen in a loop?
I can get back to where I was (thanks to RA Recovery 1.7). But before I go that route I though maybe someone here could tell me what I did wrong?
Have tried restoring CM 6.1.0 and then reflashing 6.1.0 RC1 (like someone else sucessfully did... but that didn't work for me either).
Please help me before I trash what I've done so far.
Thanks in advance!

If you flashed
Radio 2.22.28.25 and
SPL/Hboot 1.33.0013d
you should also read this thread and you would have learned, that you will need a special kernel supporting this radio/SPL combo. A standard kernel will *not* work.
Either you flash a rom which has already an appropriate kernel built in, or you need to flash a 2708-kernel after flashing your rom. You can find an appropriate kernel in the the link I gave you above.

I have a major problem with my rooted G1. Rom's don't work

I have a rooted G1 and installed the latest CM6 but it completely messed up the phone. ADW force closes and I can't open anything. I can't use Wi-fi because it gives me an error, I don't have data on the phone so I can't install anything from Rom Manager either. I used Superwipe and tried to install some ROM's but it keeps saying that the process has been aborted. The only rom it will let me install is the CM6 that is broken as hell. What can I do? I don't know what's wrong with the thing. And like an idiot, I didn't make a back up.

What SPL/hboot do you have? I thought that CM6 required a different SPL?

I don't know what an SPL is. How do I check which hboot I have? I can still go into recovery, but the phone was already rooted when I bought it and had CM4 or whatever.

Turn the phone off, hold down the camera button, and the press power (camera+power). There should be some numbers at the top of the screen. That will contain your hboot version.

Also, FYI! CM6 might not be a good ROM to use. Those are the symtom that happens to me. And don't even try using ROM Manager on it, it could give you a soft brick.
Suggestion to use one of the ROM here at XDA, there are GB, Froyo, ASOP with different build.
And recommending updating your SPL/HBOOT to 0013d, and your radio to either 27.08 or 28.25. Since most of the new ROM required those. Make sure you do radio then SPL, or you could brick your G1.

This is exactly what I see:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
OCT 20 2008
I've tried installing the ROM's from here but it keeps saying "Installation Aborted" and won't let my install ANY room not even the original CM4. Ok after applying the update (from holding the camera button+power) it installed the original android OS that came with it. Now, knowing the information I gave you above, what is the best ROM I can install and what are some steps I need to take to ensure that it will install properly? What do I need to do first? Everything in this section is a little wish washy and kind of hard to find.

There are requirements for the ROMs and most if not all of them required current radio/SPL as I mentioned.
Here is the instruction from ezTerry's 2708+ enabled kernel [14MB ram with radio 2.22.27.08/2.22.28.25 & hboot 1.33.0013d]

[Q] What kernel for Laszlo Froyo ?

Hi. I'm looking for good kernel for my G1 with Laszlo Froyo. Radio and hbor are in sig.

The kernel it comes with is perfectly fine....
And I can't see your sig on tapatalk, but you need 1.33.0013d and the 2708+ kernel radio

HTC Hero: G1
ROM: FroyobyLaszlo-5.2
RADIO: 2.22.27.08
HBOOT: 1.33.0013d

that sounds like it could be a hardware problem. has this ever happened to you on any other roms? also have you tried the quick fix options such as clear data, reflash rom etc.?

Now i have JF 1.5 radio still 2.22.27.08 and HBOOT is 1.33.2005 and about 3hours and still works well, but still its ****ty 1.5 with ****ty 1.5 apps on market.
//on Laszlo rom i still geting "No Signal" about after 3hours using phone, so i flashed Ryree rom and this do same.

:O....that radio and spl is a frightening combo....
Well, hmmmm....try the other 2708+ kernel radio?

yeah very true, i would change that first and maybe things will start working right

When i get no singal, i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 can you recommend me another spl and radio ?

Well that's the only one that works with Froyobylaszlo
And did you flash any kernels on top of froyobylaszlo?
You're not supposed to. It has the kernel in the rom zip.

No. About three days i'm using Donut from JF and everything works well. Now I'm charging phone then I'll try froyobylaszlo

you should still look into changing from 1.33.2005 to the 1.33.00.13d
i have a feeling this is your issue

Sorry but I don't get it. Can you explain it to me, or tell me what hbot I'm supposed to use with froyobylaszlo?

Hboot: 1.33.0013d
search for "2708+ kernel"
flash the spl and radio and recovery from fastboot
then you need to flash the rom.zip and thats it!
Gapps and kernel are in the rom.zip

Fine. What rom can you recommend me ? Now, I am running Froyo by Ryee
