Help Me Make A Decision

I suppose this is the right place to post this. Because it does say "Dream Q & A"
So here I go. After the first time of rooting my g1 and installing jf's rom and "lite bricking" my g1 from using the apps2sd2 app trying to partition my sd card "which it already was" and then finally flashing back to stock firmeware safely with no hicups
I'm finally deciding to get back onto the "root" wagon and I know there's a couple of roms out there for "advanced" and "nornal" users and (I'm kind of both) I'm wondering
And please don't flame me and say "u have to decide" or "search" because I don't want to pick a rom that's crappy(I'm not saying any of them are crappy) I just don't want a rom with a "dead" dev. And so I'm wondering out of all you guys here, And out of all the roms you've tried, which would you suggest is the best and why you use it so I can kinda see what I'm going to do here.
And please if you have nothing positive to say then don't say it ; )

Cyanogen is the best for me.

Cyanogen! The thing's he's done...just wow plain WOW

i do agree with this point.....even Haykuro admits that he is the one

Cyan's rom is hands down the best period. The constant updates and the fact that he is always around trying to fix things and add great new features.

Cyanogen's Rom FTW. currently at 3.6.2 with updates when needed. I love his rom and with A2SD i get 80mb of free internal space with amazing speeds!

I echo Cyanogen as well, however I've yet to try out Dude's new build with built in hero theme, HTC Music app etc.
There are other ROMs out there as well but it depends on your needs. If you need Exchange support then try one of the Rogers ROMs. If you don't know what Exchange is, then chances are you wouldn't need it so the choice is between Cyanogen and Dudes.

Dude's builds are amazing as well. He doesn't seem to be around that frequently now. I love CM's ROMS but if you want stability, like ABSOLUTE stability, JF all the way.

Wanna Root Again!!!....

It's mostly just a personal preference, best advise I could give you is flash a couple and see what you like best

This thread has a rooted version of the stock T-Mobile donut build, and if you install the added expansion pack, it includes apps2sd and other features like tether, you can read all about it or download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456

Quick noob question

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.

ROM Recommendation

i have been running cyanogens roms since i rooted my g1. there are so many roms out there and i would like to try some different ones but i have no idea where to start. im into features and looks. any recommendations? TY

1st choice should be the version: eclair or donut?
on donut i would recommend CSDI as it was the best looking rom and its fast to. dwang worked even better for me but there is no eyecandy
atm i use cyanogen 5. its ok but i didnt tried another eclair rom yet so i have no comparison

im on eclair right now with CM5.0.7 test 3

Best of both worlds:
Super E for Eclair
and
Super D for Donut

Theme options for both those Roms are very high.
Try either one and you will recognize this fact.

[Q] Which 2.1 ROM outta these 4?

Okay, Hi! 1st! (am new)
I did some research over at xda and which one of these will pay nice with my new G1?
SuperD | Chromatic | KiNgxKxlicK | Or Cyanogen
I prefer eye candy and apps... am a student. And a designer. What dya think?

SuperD is 1.6 ROM. SuperE is 2.1 ROM.
KingKlick made of lots of ROMs, I don't know to which one you are reffering now .
Cyanogen is something like base, master custom ROM. Only few try to build their ROMs based off AOSP source code, most of devs mod Cyanogen...Mod.
Chromatic is just themed Cyanogen.
About look - Android looks pretty the same, most ROMs affect things like kernel or system behaviour, not looks. Sense ROMs are pretty eye-candy, but IMO they are too heavy for G1. Only few vanilla Android ROMs are themed.
Android alone gives you AWESOME ability of customising alomst everything you want. You just have to search long enough. Trust me, you can change everything (of course it have some borders, too).

So what do you think i should use? It comes down to SuperE and Cyanogen.
Kinklic thing is kinda wierd lol..

Why not try both? Start with SuperE, it is meant to be fast CyanogenMod 5. I think you'll like it.

For me The best 2.1 I flashed is HTCCLAY's SuperBAD CM5 v1.7 awesome work its fast stable and i love this one. you can give it a try..
