Downgrade from CM 5.0.7-test1 to 4.2.15.1 - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I just flashed my g1 phone with CM 5.0.7 and it seems that the battery runs out pretty fast. So I wanna downgrade to 4.2.15.1. How is that ROM anyway?
Do I just flash it with the new rom? should I do anything like wipe? and what should I wipe cuz I have more than one option when i click on wipe?
fyi: I have RA Dream 1.6.2
Thanks in advance

you should be able to wipe the first 2 then flash your rom.
some people don't bother and just wipe all 5 though.
doing all 5 will not hurt.

4.2.15.1 is very stable and a good daily rom
wipe and follow this

Can anyone please post a screenshot of the 4.2.15.1. or at least describe it
thanks

Its a very basic Donut Rom just like all the others out there. if you want something flashy thats nice and fast I would go with SuperD 1.11 or SuperFast 1.3.3. Both of which are awesome. HTClay did an awesome job with SuperFast he just added JIT and it has a lot of eye candy.

Dunno if this got answered... WIPE EVERYTHING using armon's recovery. If you need to go to cyanogens wiki and there is step by step instructions on how to install 4.2 you can pretty much start from the begining with that one if you have an extra thirty minutes. With 4.2 you dont need the danger spl or the ext partitions eitehr but its like trying to ride a dog compared to a pony... if you know what i mean...

Sorry, I hate to hijack the dude's thread, but he seems to have gotten the help he needs, and this is on subject. Anti-subject, anyway, but I am having a lot of trouble with 4.2.15.1 and Gapp force closes. No matter how many time I reflash, flash back to ADP 1.6 then to the ROM, and wipes. Nothing seems to change it, would 4.2.13 be more stable?

no but super d 1.11 would be

I am getting the same Force Closes on Super D 1.11, too! However, if I go to the Rooted HTC 1.6 ROM, I can run it with no problems. How the hell am I getting so many FC's with a wipe and fresh ROM install?

For what it's worth I'm running the CM 5.0.7- T4 and my G1's battery lasts over a day now. It's overclocked and has ADW, so I feel like it's pretty impressive.
I also put the 2.22.23.02 radio on, I don't think that had anything to do with the battery issue, but just in case it did I'm posting that bit if info. haha

Where is JacHERO 2.6.3 Download

I've looked and looked and looked so don't blast me for asking this question, where is the download for JacHero 2.6.3. Can't find it anywhere. Read at many websites that it's the smoothest, fastest Hero Build so far....

Yeah i wouldn't believe that website. Hero improves with every update. I see that Jac didn't keep 2.6.3 but he does have 2.7.X so you may want to try that. But if you're looking for good hero builds they're all running pretty smooth. I've tried JAC 2.1 (hasn't updated in a while but it's still good) Drizzy v1.5.5/blurV1 (this what I'm using now and both are running great) MoCaDo (I ran this before drizzy v1.5.5 and It ran pretty smooth too) Again don't go based on what everyone else says.. try the rom's for yourself. You'll be amazed.
Well if you still want it here it is.

MoDaCo 1.5.1 is very smooth, I have *never* had rosie freeze for a couple of seconds like it does on other ROMs. The website you got the information from is clearly out of date.

i think, nay, hope he means xROM Eclair v1.0. if you're using anybody else's 1.0, poster is horribly slow.
and if it is xROM, to answer your question, OP, i'm not having any issues with market. my best guess would be to reflash.
sorry it is xrom v 1.0 ill try to reflash see what happens
thank you guys i reflashed and everything is working now you guys are masters at this

yea i like it too can you please message me with rom recomendations
wen you feel there is a better one if you have time it would be much apreciated!!
Im going to try xRom Eclair today, but right now, Manup456 Eclair is the best Eclair rom on my perspective, but at the end, its a matter of taste

[Q] [Milestone] Gingerbread animation

Can the "old-tv" screen animation be ported to cm6 ?
It has been tried earlier. It seems to be very difficult.

Thanks for your reply. All in all gingerbread is great but to my personal experience it's not that snappy like froyo. I'm using launcher pro plus as home replacement and in froyo I managed to set it so I wont get redraws when closing the browser or other application that needs a lot of ram.
Note: I disabled JIT
In gingerbread with the same settings of launcher pro I get redraws. I tried with jit disabled, enabled, vmheap 32,40 and it's the same.
Is it something that I'm missing out?
If it werent for this everything would be great about this rom!
Yes. I agree. I do not see much advantage in using GB to Froyo as of now. If only we could port the screen off CRT animation to Froyo, it would have been great. But it seems to be built deep into the framework. Check this link.
I had the problems you mentioned with the CM7 alpha release and IceandFire ROM.
Whereas on Shadowmod and Hobomod , the phone is seriously zippy! The latter being slightly better!

Really. I will try them and report back later No need to wipe anything when moving from CM7 to Shadow or Hobo right?
A full Data/factory reset is advised at least thats what i did.
I did 2 Wipes from the stock recovery and then 3 wipes from Androiddiani OR 3.3.

I would reccomend wiping before moving to either rom (just to be safe), though you won't need a wipe for moving between my mod and shadow and vice versa.
Also, if you can wait about 7 hours, I should have a new version of hobomod up

It seems that the guys dont work anymore on putting the CRT animation into FROYO. I mean it would be great but it's pretty difficult to do it because it's very well coded inside the framework, something like that.
Froyo? Wait a minute... Oh, yes Froyo! You mean that ancient Android version that will not receive any more fixes and enhancements... Hmm, Froyo. OK, enjoy it.

Come on, Gingerbread is nowhere near perfect yet on Milestone
As for animations, everyone who attempted it indeed failed, its probably possible but hard.

What is the most stable, quickest, best battery life rom/kernel combo for the G1?

Hi all. I'm wanting to do a custom rom/kernel on my girlfried's G1. What I want is something that she won't have to worry about with regards to stability. He also complains that her G1 is too slow. Sadly she's gotta wait until late summer to get a new phone. Overclocking options within the kernel would be nice, as I presume this would help with the speed of the phone.
So, what's the best that's out now? I did a bit of searching around but didn't find anything definitive. I flashed CM6 on there once before and it was a pain, so i'd rather be able to pick a rom and stick with it ;-).
Thanks in advance.

Id recommend CM4.2.15 but its no longer supported..but still gets the job done. Install defanged then 4:2:15 and don't foroget the ram hack. Sure..its only Donut but you said something about battery being important.
Will CM4 work with a 2708+ radio? My wife's G1 is running CM6 but it is just too sluggish for comfort.

Thanks, good tip. Though I see some post-flash hacking is necessary. I'm pretty handy in Linux but haven't gotten my hands dirty under the Android hood very much. Has anyone explained exactly what to do after flashing the new kernel to get everything connected up properly?

So, if I've already flashed CM4 and got it set up and running how would I go about flashing Super D if I decide to? I should of course do the necessary data/cache wipes but as far as flashing the rom, do I wipe, flash the defangled base, and then flash the Super D rom? If so I may do it as CM4 doesn't seem to be as quick as I had hoped... then again it's difficult to judge going from my Epic to my girlfriend's G1. I'll hve to ask her what she thinks.
Also, what kernel did you run with Super D? I'm still on the stock kernel with CM4 and if I flash another kernel, should I just wipe cache and install the kernel over whatever is on there now? I want to make sure it's essentially the same as flashing on my Epic befre I mess something up and have to do the entire process over again.
Thanks for all the help once again.

Fastest froyo is froyo for trout. Its customized to work well with the G1, like it was just an OTA for the g1, with root. Fastest froyo definitely.

Ok thanks mate, I screwed up my phone while trying to install 2.1 before so thought better to ask
The thing is that I did download and install those 2 files only :?
Well hopefully it will work fine this time
BTW do I have to Wipe all (delvik, cache etc) or just the data?

Can't compare it with Slim ICS as I haven't used that but it's one of the best for sure , using it for just about 24 hours but it's working great.
ICS 4.0.4 was one of the best I have used and I can say that this one beats that hands down.
