I'm running CyanogenMod, with Apps2SD and 512 Swap space.
What setup are you running? Any Rom that sticks out more than others?
Try Super D and Kings ASOP Eclair. That there is a whole lot of swap space buddy.

i really hope he means 512 for his ext partition...
Yeah, that's pure swap space. Is there a downfall for using so much?
I don't think a large swap space will hinder performance, just a waste of memory card. Your phone will most likely never use that much swap but if you're not hurting for fat32 or ext2/3/4 space then you're probably fine.
I was a long-time Cyanogen user and although I like his roms, ever since I switched to SuperD a couple months ago I've had maybe 2 force closes and speed is crazy fast with no swap at all. Try SuperD w/ WG Kernel. Stable and fast. Link in my sig.

Thanks, sounds good. What's DeathSPL do? Also, if I have a ROM already installed, how do I go about changing to a different one?
I just changed from cyanogen last night. most likely you'll need Danger/Death SPL, unless you've already done it. HERE
might as well upgrade to the newest radio, as most people notice a gain in signal, and battery. I noticed a significant gain in signal, and the battery gain, im believing is from both SuperD and the new radio. New Radio is HERE
Follow the links and read up on them a little bit.
Coming from cyanogen, what I did was flash new radio, then flash dangerSPL, then flash the ROM.

DeathSPL changes the partitions around so that ROMs have more space to occupy. Any radio version 26I and later are compatible, any radio version before 26I is incompatible and will brick your phone.
Once you have your radio and SPL installed, switching between ROMs is as easy as wiping and installing the ROM only. There is even a script to backup and restore multiple ROMs if that's your thing.

Will I have to repartition my SD card, reinstall app2sd and swap space if I do all that?
I didn't have to do any of that. I did back up all my apps and messages, because I did a full wipe. But I didn't have to restore my apps, just my messages.
Again as stated in my sig, I am a noob, so might be better off for a pros comment.

If I install Eclairs, they remove Super D right?
Yes. You can only have one rom installed at a time. Every Eclair and Hero rom I have flashed have been unstable, sluggish, and/or incomplete. Donut is the way to go unless you want to experiment with your G1. SuperD w/ WG's kernel is my favorite so far of the Donut roms. It seems to be the fastest while still having close to zero force closes. Links in my sig.
Do a search for "switchrom.sh" if you want to have several hot-swappable roms at your disposal. Make sure you have room on your SD card if you want to use this.

Not 100% on the details, this is just what I understand.
JIT is a new Dalvik compiler. It's somewhat experimental, but I've had zero problems in the couple weeks I've had it installed. It improves raw performance by about 25% or so, I noticed about a 10% gain when launching/switching apps and stuff.
It's reversible, so no harm in trying it, I'd say.
Is it normal for my memory space to go down if I have my phone on for days?
When I go to a task killer, it says I only have 47mbs free after I kill all my tasks. When I first started up my phone, it said I had like 60 or whatever.
Does Super D support apps2sd?

Very normal. To free up the rest you'd probably have to delete the cache that's still on the phone which is typically browser, market, maybe some others.
Yes, SuperD supports apps2sd. a2sd script automatically runs so you don't need to enable it manually.

I just tried to install the newest Haykuro SPL on my rooted G1, and now it stays at the T-Mobile screen. I can access the recovery utility, but when I press Home and Back to restart it just goes back the recovery menu..Any help?? Can I apply the offcial cupcake update?
First, please use the search feature of the forums and do plenty of research before attempting to mod your phone next time.
In recovery try wiping (alt+w) then reboot, If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas, search will probably return useful results as I've seen quite a few threads pertaining to issues with this SPL.
No my phone was already modded, it worked fine when I wrote over JF's 1.51. But when I tried to use this SPL it didn't work. I need to reflash over JF firmware for it to work. But I don't have a MicroSD Card Adapter, damn..
Can the G1 access via USB by putting it in BootLoader mode, or something??
I think(am no way certian tho) that you can access the sd via adb shell while in recovery mode, you'll need to do some looking into it tho. If I were you first thing tomarrow I'd pick up one of these even if you do manage to fix it by then. I use mine alot due to funking things up with modded themes and what not.
EDIT
Got it working, I reflashed it with JF's newest build. I wonder what I did wrong though when I tried flashing the latest Haykuro's SPL. I want to go to the newest Hero build but I am scared I might mess up my phone again.
Good to hear. I'd do alot more research before going any further. SPL's are where bricking turns from nearly impossible to easy as pie. Check out all the brick posts to see what NOT to do. Can be very helpful info.
ps. next time for pete's sake put something more useful than "help.." in the title of your thread.
First things first, check if you did get the spl to load. Turn off your phone and hold camera button and power. The screen that comes up should tell you what SPL you are using.

You didn't do anything 'wrong'. Flashing a new SPL repartitions your phones internal memory, destroying your ROM, thus requiring a ROM reflash after the SPL.
Honestly, what are you doing flashing a SPL when you do not understand what it does or how it works?
Excuse me Mr. Perfect. I didn't know that I had to reflash a ROM right on top of flashing the new SPL. Thus if what you are saying is true, I should have the new SPL than since I reinstalled the JF Rom?

Not trying to be a ****, but this is how people end up with bricks. Believe it or not, I'm actually trying to save you from doing that.
And yes, if you flashed the new SPL then JF's (or any ROM, really) than you still have the new SPL.
I know what you mean, I thought I had bricked it last night because of the SPL install. Alright I checked and indeed do have the new SPL. What ROM do you recommend using, that doesn't require Apps2SD as I cannot even use without a Class 6 MicroSD Card? JF's ROM is pretty bland, if you know what I mean.
wipe and re-flash the rom you want and please click the link in my sig

If I make the switch is it a matter of a wipe and alt s to load cyanogen now that i'm rooted?
well
Cyanogens is hands down the fastest in my opinion.
Are you using apps 2 sd?
No, but I was just reading up on it, sounds like a good idea to partition and send apps to sd card... Will buy a new card tomarrow.
cyanogen rom is great very stable n fast. im currently using his lastest rom n i luv it. yes u would have to wipe n flash for his rom
i also switched from JF to Cyan a while back ....never switched since then...JF is also fast no doubt but Cyans rom just makes it easier for some things...and he constantly updates his rom

You shouldn't have to wipe going JF to Cynogen. They are based off the same build. But as always if you run into issues with programs force closing and what not then you should wipe.
I just loaded JF yesterday and have very few apps so no big deal on the wipe. Best buys is right down the street, but they only have a class 4 sd card. will this work okay or should I wait and order class 6.
I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I have a different question. Do I need to change the SPL? What I have is :
JF1.51
DREA100 PVT 32B
HSPL 10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.29.26I
And I have Cyanogen's 1.31 recovery. Do I need to change the SPL to Haykuro's?
Thanks
(@ billquinn1 )thats all you need justy update. you have hard spl and a updated radio so your good to go.
----------------------------------------------
Definitely make the jump.. it comes with a2sd already installed (if you have the partition), it has 5 screens so if you need more space, its stable, it has a good standby screen, you dont have to wipe(even though i did and it doesnt require the DangerSPL although i flashed to it yesterday(i want to try the Hero Roms). this rom has great themes as well as features

I've heard stories of it working OK for people, but honestly.. You can buy a Class 6 from Newegg for less or the same as that Class 4 at Bestbuy, and get it within days. And it will absolutely work better than the class 4.

No, cyanogen's roms work just fine with HardSPL.
I highly recommend cyanogen's roms. I would also recommend formatting a linux-swap partition as well. It makes it run that much better.

Cyanogen's ROM (3.6.5) rocks!!!!
I had only used JF ROMs and always had to figure out the Apps2SD thing on my own. I flashed Cyan's 3.6.5 ROM several days ago and I absolutely love it! It does Apps2SD automatically with ease and it's super fast. I also recommend Cyanogen's recovery as well.
No wipe will be needed. Apparently, a lot of problems have been reported on Class 4 SD cards, and while it doesn't make any sense why, it's probably best to go to a class 6 (faster, higher quality). Personally, I use a Class 2 and it works fine, but can be laggy at times. Never made a difference for me.
Thanks guys for all your help, I'll go with a class 6
Hi, also considering to flash Cyanogen Rom v3.6.7, but i have question to ask, Do i need to do a wipe first? before flashing the rom coz i don't want to lose all my current settings and info. And can i use my current JF 1.43 recovery instead of Cyan v1.31 recovery?
Appreciate any advice.

You don't have to wipe. If you run into problems you might as well wipe. Yes you can use Jf 1.43 recovery but i highly recommend cyanogen's recovery. So so many advantages.

I can vouch for Saiboogu's comment. I went from an 8GB Class 4 to an 8GB Class 6 and the difference was noticeable.
Also, I went from JF to Dude to Cyanogen's ROM. Cyan's is much smoother and faster.

Thanks for the reply, will tryout Cyan's Recovery and flash his latest ROM...
Hello All.
I have spent a lot of time reading and am quite confused by all the different ROMs out there.
I live in the US, have T-mobile and need Exchange support and Tehtering. What is the best ROM for me in your opinion.
I am especially interested in ROMs where an easy-to-follow tutorial is available as this is my first G1 mod (but I did mod my Dash quite a few times).
Thanks,
Richard
Cyanogen's builds are the bees knees. Exchange support built into latest releases.
I think you have to download wifitether on the experimental build at the moment.
Can you name a specific build? also, can I get the tethering working in non-experimental roms?
Thanks
yeah. he recently released 3.9.5 which is very nice, you should be able to get the tethering working
My research shows that that is still experimental and has a possibility of bricking a phone. Any news on that? I am more interested in an already-stable release
Richard
Then just go get his stable release. It's in the dev forum also. It's 3.6.8.1 and btw I'm a total noob who has flashed every single experimental release of the cyan builds and flashed haykuro's spl so if I haven't bricked my phone yet I'm sure you will be perfectly fine just flashing that rom.

You don't have to worry about bricking your phone. His rom's don't require the brick SPL.

Everything you will need to root you can find here: XDA ***Informative Threads***
I can follow the root tutorials.
What is the prescribed step-by-step after that? I am hoping to go to the stable version mentioned here or another ROM that supports exchange. There is so much conflicting information on the threads that says to do this or that for this or that and its hard to follow with all the acronyms and such. Any help is appreciated,
Richard
well yo should just get the latest cyanogen image.
i have been flashing all his roms since day 1 and i have never had 1 issue.
for right now ignore any other roms (such as the hero mods from jachero or drizzy) because they are very unstable and slow. since its your first cooked rom your best bet is to flash to cyanogens 3.9.5 and your set. you dont need anything set up except root and your ext2/ext3 partition. no scripts necessary or additional apps to keep your apps to the sd card.
hope this helps.

^^ That is a great tutorial. ^^
1.4 pimped out recovery image, is truly pimped out. Backing up an image of your phones software to your sdcard only takes a few button presses, same with restoring it. Has other very useful features as well.
Danger SPL is really only needed for certain Hero builds, a partitioned card is good if you need Apps2SD.
In your case: Root it, install 1.4 recovery, then go with Cyanogen 3.6.8.1, install wifiTether.
Btw. If you plan on using wifiTether often, carry a charger or usb cable. It eats your battery quickly.
Enjoy!
Quite a bit of mis-information here.
The poster wants EXCHANGE support. Cyan's rom's do not have true exchange support.
What you need is either a Hero or Rogers ROM. The most stable, fastest, best ROM I've used so far is Soulife Rogers. There is a version that does not require the new SPL if you wish to not upgrade that. You can install WiFi Tether on any rooted phone with any ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523608 - Soulife Rogers
You'll want to root your phone first, then run the latest cyan recovery (1.4) - partition your SD card for fat32, ext2, linux-swap. Then run "upgrade_fs" to upgrade to ext3... install the soulife rom. Then install swapper from the market and select "linux partition" from the menu.
This is a pretty vague how-to, if you need more help feel free to ask.
This is the setup that I currently run. I get no force-closes, no lags, no freeze ups, everything is lightning fast plus FULL exchange (contacts/calendar/email) and even the HTC Dialer. Soulife's ROM is probably the best ROM available at this point.

I second this. With HK's SPL it gives you about 80 mb of free internal memory. Plus its super fast.
I havent tried Cyan's roms yet, mainly bc I dont feel like having to partition SD Card, then run a swapper on the thing. I want my phone just to work by itself, not with the addition of all these extra processes.
This is in no way a dig at Cyan, he's a great developer with (obviously) great stuff. But if you just want an Update.zip that you throw on your SD Card and update with amazing results I recommend Ion.

Does ION have FULL exchange support? If it's the Rogers ION port than it should.
Also, swapper isn't required. It's silly not to use it though as it speeds up the phone.

quick note, in Cyan's ROMs you do not need to partition your SD card. if your card is not partitioned, it will not use the features and still runs smooth and fast. OK so maybe it won't be quite as fast as when using a swap, but it's definately fine without it.
Back on topic, i too would generally recomend Cyan's ROMs, but sadly no exchange, try a Roger's ROM, either by Soul-life or TheDude.
to install, if you have already rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM, simply download the ROM, rename it to update.zip, place it on the root of your SD card. Reboot phone holding HOME and POWER. i recomend a wipe if you're switching ROMs, so press ALT+W to wipe, then press ALT+S to apply the update. when it's done, press HOME+BACK to reboot your phone. It will take a little longer to boot after a flash, that's normal so don't panic.
hope that helps

Hi. I've two G1s. One with Haykuro SPL and one another with the default one. Both of them are running Dwang 1.11.
What's the advantage of the Haykuro SPL over the default one? Just the possibility of installing Hero (or completely different) firmwares or is it also a matter of speed? I've read it repartitions the internal phone memory, but somewhere I've also read it may also speed up the phone. Is it still true or has it been outdated by the apps2sd roms?
Thank you

Haykuro's "danger spl" just unlocks more memory for the roms
Ex. JF 1.5 on normal spl= 54mb
JF 1.5 on danger spl= 90mb
No advantage at all.. it just moves things around meaning larger roms can be flashed without moving data around. If it had never existed, we'd just be moving the files manually.. all it does is save us a bit of time.
I believe it removes the partition for OTA updates, then increases the size of /system and /data to fill the space. Other than being able to more ROMs (mainly HTC based) it has Fastboot which can be very useful, which the stock SPL doesn't have.

Well that explains why you are up all hours of the night and day b-man
After 3 years, I am still rocking the G1 as my MAIN everyday general use android phone. (Because honestly.. aside from a G2 HTC nothing has come out that really replaces the overall usefulness of the G1)
I still use Enoms 1.6 rom. I checked before about updating, but back then, everyone had gripes or issues, or slowdowns that didnt really make it worth updating from. Anyways, just checking on if anything is different now. For someone who uses a partitioned sd card, apps installed to SD card automatically (not just moved) and so, is there really something worth upgrading to or is enoms rom still overall the better stable rom for us G1 users? Thanks. =)
you will always get the best speed and stability out of donut roms, there are lots of good ones to chose from so take your pick there. if you want to stick with 1.6 then you still might consider the 2708+ updated radio/spl that allows for 14 more megabites of ram, you will definitely notice this! after the update just reflash your rom and a compatible kernel over it.
there nice 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 roms out there, plenty good enough for a daily driver but there are some lags compared to any good donut rom. if you want a taste try froyobylaszlo if you like it than there are lots more new roms that compare well to that.
2708+ updated radio/spl?
Usually I have about mid 20s-30 for memory free. Which seems decent for the most part, since everything else runs off the sd card. Only reason its lower since I use that compcache stuff.
As for the info, thanks, yea, figured donut is still better least for a every day use and general purpose.
Pls don't mix up RAM and internal memory. Internal memory is comparable to the hard disk of your PC, while RAM is memory which is used for executing programms.
The 2708/0013d combo will give you more RAM (112MB instead of 97MB), so most likely you can renounce on using compcache, but you will need an adapted kernel otherwise you will get bootloops.

Ah ok. Is enoms rom able to work with this new spl? Not even sure what would be the best way to do this.. Nandroid backup, flash new spl, and nandroid restore?
always do a nandroid.
the method i would do is backup everything via titanium backup, back up any sms or my call log via sms backup +, then i would make sure i have all the requirements and then flash the updated radio and spl. after this i would flash whatever rom i choose (stick with your donut if youd like) then i would flash rom and a compatible kernel over it, reboot, restore and be happy. also i would make sure i have all the files i need ahead of time, this being amon_ra (may need it) radio, spl, orange.nbh (in case of emergency) my rom of choice, and kernel of choice (if needed)
this is the way i'd go about it, you can try any method youd like there are tons of threads about this update so i would recommend reading a few first
oh and even if it sounds complicated its well worth it
I know, G1 was the 1st I ever did heh, now I do alot of em, The others I dont stress about as they arent my main everyday device.. I am just protective of my G1 lol.. My main device.
Does anyone know of enoms works on this new spl radio.
hanvet used enoms with the new radio/spl but i have used other 1.6 roms with it so im sure this will be fine too. just make sure you flash the appropriate kernel over the rom. if you take a look at ezterry's thread on kernels or even on the 2708+ page you will find plenty to choose from

Yes, it works. I've tried it just some minutes ago. Not sure if everything works, because I did only a quick check, but it's booting, you can log in browser is working, ...
The only thing you need to do is flashing a different kernel which supports the 2708 radio on top of the ROM. I flashed Terry's BiffTest Kernel but also the newer one should work.
If you like to get some more internal memory you could also use MTD-Partitions set to [67,2] which would give you a data partition size of almost 145MB
Btw.: I suppose I could not run such a ROM as my daily driver, it looks like it's already 10 years old ...
Hah found better rom called supertinhte 2.2 rom. Based on T-Mobile myTouch 3G.
Very Very fast ,comes with 82.19 free internal space.I think it is faster than froyo by lazlo with ramhack. Type it in google cant post link cause i am new here
I really like two [email protected] ROMs on my two G1s. I use them as my daily drivers.
I use SuperFroyo on one and I use SuperCDSIv4 (Donut) community edition (looks soooo much better than Mlign, etc...) on the other.
They are both great. I uninstalled virtually everything from SuperFroyo that I could. I can verify that you have no issue with deleting Talk, News and Weather for sure. Also, if you use another keyboard, you can delete the android keyboard. I did that on another installation. I delete stuff to have all apps internal.
SuperCSDIv4 is a little faster most of the time, but the niceties of Froyo are good too so I use and really like both. I recommend Lightning Launcher, then unistall ADW and LauncherPro if you go with Superfroyo. That launcher is hard to set up, but it is really light. Just go into themes and select "Zune" and try that. It is a cool theme and fast.
I think 2.2 is more fit for G1. some apps can't work on 1.6 ROM
True but the fastest 2.2 is slower then the fastest 1.6, if all you need is speed then donut is the way to go. You can push some apks onto donut roms that aren't found in the market but if you need some apps and other things froyo offers then you may need to move up

Apps for 2.2 arent really needed on the G1 screen, cept maybe those Authenticator apps. I have a diff android if I need those higher end apps.
I am a very proud G1 user too!
But I will suggest going too the CyanogenMod 5 Mod. With the proper tweaks, it reallly runs like a charm. Super E and Super F are also good ideas. Just google them up and look how to install them!!!!
So are people still using the volume increase thing for their G1 as well? I rem using the script and so to tweak that.
To be honest this GinSense rom is very fast and stable, its 2.3.7 using a cyanogenmod base.
There is that one problem with watching movies on it (were the sound keeps going but the video resets) but that's because its a problem with the cyanogenmod base, I know because every cyanogenmod rom I had, had this problem.
I would go to a 1.6 for speed, but then I would lose out on all the apps, and this is a quite snappy rom.

So question, to flash that ram increase radio. I could do that and do a nandroid restore afterwords?
No I'm pretty sure you would need to flash your rom again from scratch and then flash a compatible kernel over that

Well I see the kernel in this thread I should be flashing, but I am very confused. Ok, my SD card has its apps installed to it, the rom auto uses it for storage. I dont know if I should just be relying on Titanium backup for a backup and restore or nandroid.
Im "open" to the idea of upgrading the rom if its speedy. I just dont wanna lose all the apps and work I had on this rom already. Just so confusing atm. Been a LONG time since I had to flash or work with the G1. (Never need to mess with something that works flawless) My other androids I flash the **** out of and update heh. My g1 is my baby, so always was careful. I wouldnt mind that extra ram tho if it really helps.
So what do you all think is the best way to secure keeping my stuff and easily update this?
Edit: Gonna be basing my study off this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
Just wondering how my apps 2 sd will be, since on Enom, I did this the old school way and not the apps2sd thing. Which makes me think Titanium backup is the best way to restore apps on to a new rom (without data or should I be able to backup with data and restore with data, so used to not restoring with data)
Edit 2: Ok is is possible to do this, based on that thread. I use nandroid to backup, then do the steps, restore using nandroid and before I boot into the phone, I flash that biff any kernel thing, THEN reboot into the phone. Would that work and not lose anything?
