Hey... Sooo I have KiNgxKxKlair DroidEris2G1 which I like because it's a Rosie UI based on something higher than 1.5. I really need software based on Donut or higher because I'm a nurse and I need Epocrates which requires 1.6 or higher.
Can anyone recommend another ROM because the one I'm using now is UBER slow and really can't function as an everyday ROM for me.
Not happening. HTC did not release 1.6 version of Sense (Rosie). They went directly from 1.5 to 2.x series.
Yes, there was an attempt to bring 1.6 donut sense, based on tatoo to our phones, but the guy who did it lost his phone half way through
(the rom needs resizing of images and that stuff... never happened)
But If you use King's Droid Eris eclair with enough swap (at least 64MB) and Fire4rts Kernel, it will be fast. (Have to look in the thread for his kernel...)
But rosie will always be slower than stock android on our phones, yet faster than any other sense I have tried (on par with jac's 1.5)

Hey guys, I am a bit tired of donut 1.6 and would like to jump up to hero (because 2.0 is pretty much a dead os, and 2.1 is not at the stage where its dialy use)
I am wondering what your favourite hero rom is (hopefully with a link).
Are there any hero roms which are still updated, and have any hero roms. Come to the point where they are suitable for daily use?
I like MLIGN's with 96mb swap on a class 6 sd, but you just have to try them out for yourself.
I know there is mglin and sense hero. Is eclair hero, hero or eclair?
A hero rom is basically a rom with a custom UI that HTC calls sense.
Most of the hero roms here are based on android 1.5 (Cupcake) Like MLIGN's.
Eclair hero is android 2.1 (or 2.0, but I am pretty sure it is 2.1) with HTC's sense UI. I have no experience using this rom.
Lol "Jump up to hero" From a 1.6 ROM?
more like fall down a huge cliff but yeah MLIGN is one of the best ways to go.
running V3.3 now and loving it.
lol, i havent tried a hero rom and would need to make my own kernal for it so i wanted to know which was the best before jumping in, i guess ill go with that one then.
What exactly do you mean by jumping down rather than up, i know the speed will be less what else?

Nah its that you said you wanna jump up to a Hero rom that's not 2.1 from a 1.6 rom.Normal hero Rom's are 1.5 so its more like jumping down then up. there arent really many differences. Hero ROM's are pretty quick so that's not gunna be an issue.

I like jcarzz more. although its bugging me out all of a sudden!
Personally, I had bad luck with MLIGN. But maybe that's just me. It ran fine for awhile, then I started getting random freezeups and reboots up the ass. Tried a wipe and reflash, ext repair, etc, but alas, no luck. But I'm also running a Class 2 SD card so maybe that's what did me in. I'm sure MLIGN is a great ROM
I'm using SenseHero 1.4, with BFS 300 + RAM Hack, and so far I'm nothing but pleased . No random lockups or reboots yet, everything's veryy smooth and I haven't had the loadscreen for Rosie come up at all yet (aside from initial boot, of course).
Current continuous uptime is at something like 15 hours right now (my battery died this morning - I've been using the ROM for a few days now).
Bottom line though -- ya just gotta try em and find what works best for you.
I'd say top contenders are MLIGN, SenseHero, Jac's Hero, and King's Eclair Hero.
Hi there, I'm running the 3.22.26.16 RADIO on my 32B Donut Dream.
I see there are alot of new roms out these days, and I'm greatly interested in 2.0 and up as i'm starting to find apps that I'm restricted from using.
I am looking for something fast and stable. Are the new roms faster now w/ jit? is the switch worth it? what do you run?
Thanks
Cyanogen Mod 6.0 which is FroYo

Fun phone = 2.0 and above
Fast phone = 1.6
Sorry, but the G1 just isn't designed to run anything above 1.6. The developers here have done an amazing job to make the 2.0 experience as great as possible on the G1's limited hardware, but speed and loadings time, though not apparent at first, will definitely become an issue.
I have used everything from JesusFreke 1.41 through SuperE and FroYo, and I have to say that so far that the best ROM is SuperD, a 1.6 Rom by Ben Buchacher.
However, with the nice recovery images around lately, it is pretty easy to try out different ROMs, so I say just give 1.6 and 2.2 both a try, and see what you like and see if the speed trade off is worth the many more features presented in 2.2.
Thanks for the advice peeps, i've installed FroyoRedux Mod v1.2 and so far so good. Much faster than i'd expect... and dear i say faster than donut??
My wife has CM6 on her G1 and it works fine, though it feels sluggish and apps take a little bit to respond. I've tried several Froyo roms and CM6 seems to be the best of the bunch, but I want to find her something more responsive. Is CM7 even worth considering? Common sense suggests it would be even more sluggish since the sys reqs are higher, but I've read some people saying it's faster. And in any event, is it generally true that an Eclair-based rom (like CM 5.0.8?) is going to be faster than any Froyo rom?
Thanks guys!
Donut is the fastest, but Eclair is good for both stability and speed. The older builds are generally more optimized, faster, and have less functions (trade off).
As always ... it depends. For me CM6.1 was faster than any CM5 I had on my phone, probably even faster than the 1.6 stock donut. But there is also the difference that for the newer ROMs you can increase the size of the RAM available, which helps very much. So you have the choice ...

For me FROYO is having good responce...with official AOSP 2.2 from ezterry.
but if you like eclair go for Superbad 1.7 from htcclay the best one for eclair.
Hmmm. I may be on a fool's errand but I'm trying to see if there's a Tom for the G1 that will make it feel like my Nexus One. Should I stop trying?

Try Froyo by Laszlo, its quite fast.

As I said on your other post, SparksMod 2.1 has been the best to me.
Hi i was hoping someoune could help me decide on a rom..
I am looking for a rom with multitasking and if possible sense ui (or similar (i like the facebook updates on contacts and htc widgets).
Thank you
Ethey
voila
If U want great Gingerbread choose this
on the other hand, if You prefer 1.6 donut flash Donut by Laszlo V2
best sense.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807183
Thank you
Thank you both for your replies.. i am currently on Rolexs and Xillius's roms... (Nandroid/Bart)
I am looking ofr a rom with multitasking a must though... as these are gingerbread roms they dont multitask...
But again thak you for your input
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620
if your looking for a multi-tasking rom stick to donut or eclair.....although donut probably best for multi-tasking and then for sense ui im sure if you use something like super D they have a sense theme somewhere about lol
Being honest the best ROM here is definitely FroyoByLaszlo. Now, I know the thought of having Gingerbread on your phone is promising, but I was using COS-DS for a while and for about 2 weeks it was great. The updates were becoming too frequent and also I was having many problems with memory. Since moving back to FroyoByLaszlo I've been so impressed with the speed of the phone.
Anyways, there's not much difference between Gingerbread and Froyo, except for just VoIP calling and a few UI tweaks.
If you like the HTC Weather/Clock widget, search for 'Old Fancy Widget apk' on the internet and I'm sure you'll find it (HTC asked them to remove it, they've now updated it and it's nowhere near as good-looking).
i use ezgingerbread. almost pure aosp gingerbread. fastest and lightest gb rom ive seen. does everything i need
best froyo- Froyo by Lazlo
best gingerbread- COS GB or GingerYoshi
sense- gotta go with Xillius's sense rom. so fast!!
best mutitasking. SuperD or SuperE.

whats the best donut ROM? is donut by lazlo better than super D?
i know there are many threads out there on this but i have both answers and questions to put out there and i wanted to start fresh.
so first of all for our slow little G1s we need the most up to date radio/spl which you can get here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
there are a lots of favorites out there so here are mine
1.6 - superCSDI (thanks [email protected])
2.1 - super e (thanks benbuchacher)
2.2 - froyobylaszlo (thanks laszlo)
2.3 - ezgingerbread (thanks ezterry)
sense roms... not my favorite so ill let someone else answer that
ok so we have rooted our phones, updated the radio/spl, and we have tried everything in the rom bible (thanks RoyalKnight i wish you still updated this) and just about every other rom we can get our hands on, yes we are nerds, yes we are nostalgic (or poor) since we still use the g1, but what can we use day in and out?
so i have been playing with some old roms again, namely superE, and i must say with the 2708+ and an updated launcher it really can come back to life to be a daily use rom (again). still i miss some of the sparkle in the newer froyo and gingerbread (power control widget in notification bar, newer apps, etc) but it is clean and has a bit less lagginess than these newer ones.
maybe its just me but i want some thoughtful thoughts on this, what is best for those of us who like speed and flare?
oh and please give a little more info than just the name of the rom, why is it the best and what are the optimal settings so others can try and see if they agree, thanks!
(sorry for making this sound like it should be posted on blogger)
Nonsense is a very nice cupcake (1.5) rom
One of the fastest
And has a nice htc ime that's lighting speed
The dialer is also lightning speed
It doesn't really need much setup
I used it with a regular cm6 left over radio/spl setup
I had like 96mb swap
But I don't remember if it supports ext or not

forgive the necromancy, but I HAVE to chime in.
I have only had a G1, no other phone. I have had one for 3+ years. All that time I have only tried HTCclay's Superfast. a few variations of SuperCSDIv4 (90% of my use) and now Superbler with RAM hack.
I have yet to see a downside moving from Donut based SuperCSDIv4 to Froyo based Superbler. Not even speed is an issue. I really recommend you check this ROM out!
i remember that rom, but i dont remember liking it too much... so upon your recommendation and necromancy, i tried looking it up - found the rom (version4) but i cant find any of the themes that were to go with it, at least not the theme links
ill try out the rom again either way but do you know where i can find a good link to the theme?
The Themes by DorianX for ICS are awesome, they are for FBL too, you can just flash it over your FBL ROM and you have a beautiful theme installed on your chubby, ugly G1
I don't know about themes. It came themed well enough for me. I love this ROM.
Alright. Update. My new favs
1.5 - Nonsense Cupcake Revolution
1.6 - Donut By Laszlo
2.1 - *shrug* idk yet.
2.2 - FroyoCreamSandwich
2.3 - CM7
Sense - Liberty and of course the old 1.5 sense ROMs
Right now I am LOVING donutbylaszlo. I've installed so much junk on it and it still doesn't lag.
