okay im sure you guys saw that 1.6 is being pushed to all tmobile g1s in the next few days (i saw it on engadget.com) my question is im rooted with cyan 4.0.4 i think. (the latest stable) and i think i want to update to that so i can have the new market. will i be able to get the update and will i be able to still use overclock widget. thanks guys!!!
umm there are already 1.6 based roms in the dev section... i would look there, i am about to give akirah's build a go.
if you flash an official update to your phone then you will lose root.
If you flash any official ROM and try to run an app that requires root it won't work as intended (the app).
How's the ROM you mention david? I was considering it myself, I've been using this current ROM for almost a day now. Need a change

i found it to be really fast (like damn fast) but i love a lot of the features in 4.1.11.1 like the lockscreen among other things. i think it is between a jf rom and a cm rom. not completely vanilla but not rocky road either its a good rom overall, but i love my features.
i still have my .zip file for cyans 4.1.11.1 if anyone needs it!..i like it..

Is that the 1.6 mod that Cyanogen created? If so I would like it if you can send to my email [email protected]
I tried to find it when I saw it on friend's phone, but when I went to the site they removed :\
ny friend got lucky and bought the phone from a person that had it on there.
HAHAHA Cyanogen ROMs are like crack now.
whatcha need, whatcha need?
Hey man, you got some cyanogen?
You ain't a cop are ya?
Nah man, I just need some Cyanogen.
ok cool, here ya go, be careful bro that sh*t's fast.
* looks over both shoulders.

I'm looking for a stable, pure HERO ROM. What I mean by pure is no blur garbage (red colors or bouncing) or custom boot screens. Recently we've had a flood of new HERO ROM's posted by various different people. Ironically, these ROM's have had the exact same issues i.e. flash not working. Which makes me beg the questions, is there just one solid developer of these HERO ROM's and just a bunch of biters? That's neither here nor there. I just want a stable, pure HERO ROM. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ahhh man. I didn't want people's random opinions. I just want the facts. I will try akirah's out. I'm just so sick of flashing hero roms. I think i've flashed all the popular ones. We just got 3-4 new hero roms in the past day or so. Really fast, just the fact that most of them are missing flash is a huge let down. That to me is basic HERO ROM guts.

don't you love these "opinions" saying wait for a port isn't really a solution to a hero rom problem. or is it? i don't know very much, at all. never will.
@david1171
LOL! Yeah, this akirah hero2 is working out just fine. I like the fact that you can simply upgrade the rom without wiping. It's the first hero rom i've seem to do that. Awesome!
special thanks goes out to brian_v3ntura for recommending hero2 1.51, it is what he has said in almost every hero thread, so i would imagine it to work.
Quick question: Is the problems that I was having in KingKlick's 2.0 ROM
- GPS location not working (thinking my current city was "Denver" - when I'm in AZ)
- Paid applications not showing in market/downloading
Normal of all Hero ROMs? Or should I give some of the other ones a shot?

i dont recommened upgrading to 1.5.x
just stay on 1.5.1... anything after that has caused problems.
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

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
Hi all Thanks to all.... Newbie here with flashing and all so i just want to get started on the right track... being doing alot of reading just wanted to know what is the safest rom right now for the captivate....
also ive downloaded bay_wolfs AIO captivate tool ...if i use this tool i dont have to go through the the whole process of installing rom manager..zip files etc..do i if i read correctly..well thanks all in advance for the responses.....
It depends on What you want. For a really bare bones rom, use precision. For a close to stock rom, use cognition. For a well themed and polished rom, use serendipity or ultimate. Cognition is the only captivate based one though.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
yeesh - sorry but most of these get locked in 10 posts or less as these become "My ROM is better than Your ROM" epeen arguments.
With that being said.. if a ROM is posted in the Dev forum and as long as it doesn't say Cyanogen Beta or Gingerbread alpha AOSP in it? It is pretty much safe to flash.
Most of these ROM's use either a Rogers, Captivate, or i9000 Source and don't deviate other than tweaks to apps/kernels/modems/lagfixes/themes.
If you want to be safe - I would go with Cognition as a first ROM flash then go from there. It is basically "stock".
Thanks guys for the quick posts....Just a little worried about doing it for the first time i have read, watched videos, this is why im asking before taking the plunge...
i really like Bay_wolfs tool seems great for newbies has anyone used it...i think i may go with cognition is there a better version than the 3.4 what i mean is the newest version seem best or and older one...
I also flashed my first ROM the other week after lots of reading and studying. I went with Andromeda 1.0 at and have since gone to 1.1. I didn't use the tool that you're wondering about, but have downloaded it for future use. So if you do use it, let me know how it goes for you. I went with the installation instrustions on Andromeda's website, and that worked flawlessly. Once you do decide on a ROM, I'm sure that you'll be extremely happy as the performance is way better than stock. Happy flashing and good luck!
Like the other posters said, it's all about what you want and then personal preference. Once you have flashed a few you will start realizing what you do and don't like about the ROMs and what you really want in them. (My first ROM I had no idea, I was like, lets just flash because it's cool and custom and I feel like it. Then I started noticing the differences between my first ROM and stock, realizing what they can actually do with it and what they cannot. From there I figured out what I was really looking for by going custom, and starting browsing the released ROMs to find it)
In short, your first ROM is just that, the first. It wont stay there long so it doesn't really matter which one you choose. Cognition, like stated above, is a good start because it's pretty close to stock. If you want to just straight into a very custom one and screw the baby steps, try something a little more feature rich. Eventually you will get into trying different ROMs with different kernels and test out over-clocking, etc...
I would recommend for your first that you don't go with an OC ROM though, save that for when you feel more comfortable with your ability to flash and tweak things.
I have never used the tool you are talking about because I feel more comfortable doing all the .zip stuff and seeing what is actually being done to my phone, not trusting something else to do it. The tools I do use are Odin3 and One Click Root/Unroot. If you want to try flashing without that tool but aren't sure of the exact steps or why they are necessary you can PM me and I'll help you out.
Welcome to the addiction of ROM flashing! (It's harder to shake then cigarettes once you start)
You guys are great here thanks for all the tips...tonight i will be flashing my first Rom hope all goes well if i have any questions i will ask...once again thanks...

Jeordy thanks for all info on the Pm ... that was fantastic i sent you a pm let me know what you think.....
I've tried several. So far, out of all of them, I like Andromeda 1.2 with the Speedmod kernel. It seems to be the most functional.

Do not flash any of the Gingerbread ROMs unless you really know what you are doing. They are still unstable and you risk bricking your phone. As for stable ROMs, there's a wide variety of them, and they're all based on Android 2.2, which is really fast. There is no best ROM, and it all depends on your personal preferences. Try visiting a few of the ROM threads to check them out, and hopefully that will help you decide which one to flash.

A bit of an overstatement, but I concur on there is no best, find what works best for you
CM7
Ok well not 10 or less this time but close.
There is no best rom just best for you. I could say Rom X is the best and does everything I need it to and when you run it, you dont like it or doesnt work well with your set up.

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!

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

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
