I have the same problem... SuperD didn't work, only CM5 and Zachattack052 & Xillius200's Eclair (which is actually CM modified...)

FIXED
well that was easy...
just follow the instruction on the cyan wiki for flashing from a different rom to 4.2
simples

This same thing will happen if you flash cm5 and then try to nandroid or switchrom back to a previous rom. It'll hang on the G1 screen. Make sure you wipe and you'll be fine.

Could you be more specific on what guide you used I can't find what your talking about on CM website. I'm having the same issue only I can only get JesusFreke Rom to work. I'd like to put CM or ANY other ROM on my phone, JF ROM slowly causes my Answer, Home and Back keys to stop working...

I'll give you the gist of what the guides tell you.
Follow the OP and flash the defanged base first: http://www.mediafire.com/?nymkxjmndzd
Flash the rom.
The fact people are having problems with months after this has been commonplace for flashing Cyanogen roms gives me almost no hope for the future.

Alright Thanks

This does not belong in the development section. Moved.

Laggy? For real? Can i have some of those drugs?!?!
Hahaha but seriously did you wipe before installing froyo? Of all the things I've seen and experienced with it, lag is def not one of them.
You would need to downgrade (flash an older version) your radio (assuming you flashed a froyo update.zip that had the newer radio) since the froyo radio does not work with cyanogens rom.
Then, wipe and flash cyans rom + google apps.

Haha yes i find a lot of thing are quite buggy/laggy.. no didnt wipe. So maybe i will try that. Cant even record video?!?
Ok so let me just get this clear. There is firmware, and radio. So the radio can be in the firmware and/or seperate ? what does the radio do?

I would say with 99.99999% confidence the bugs and lag you are experiencing is from not wiping first. Assuming you were coming from cyanogenmod, flashign a "stock" rom ontop of an existing custom rom is most likely going to cause you nothing but problems!
Radio was packaged with the OTA (over the air) update and with the original link from the post above (to paul's froyo rom). An update.zip contains any number of things (whole os, patches, radio) and scripts to do those.
The radio is what lets your phone talk over wireless signals (to cell towers, wifi access points, etc (note, this is an extremely dumbed down definition, I know)). Radio updates can often times improve reception/signal.
Thank you for your explanation so i will try and wipe and then flash the rom in the link.
although i still miss color trackball, wake on trackball and other cm stuff lets hope 6.0 isnt to far away

you lost me you did a backup of cm before froyo? with recovery thingy?
does this backup everything? apps settings and so on? like a pc image? so i could set my system up and then make a backup with this?
Got it all working. and the new rom from the link is super.
Still missing a lot of cm improvements... but i guess thats just at matter of time

My guess is that Cyanogen aren't doing anything and won't do nothing until official Froyo is released.

I did this as well, no issues.
Why is the radio working, then? The nandroid backup don't backup the radio from cm?

[Q] BEST ROM with working FLASH PLAYER on cdma hero

Hey guys I'm a noob and sprint decided to give me a hero do to my defective noment I took it over the intercept because of the support here on XDA and I've been lookin around and I like but my question remains what's the best rom for the cdma hero that will still allow the flasplayer to work any ideas or ways to keep makin it work. THANX
Unfortunately, full flash support can not be achieved. There's a light version out there, but I don't know how well it works.

I believe Nfinite's Roms have Flash Lite, and then using a browser like Skyfire gives additional flash support as it deals with it server side.
Use Nfinites rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024 there and then do a search for Zen's Any Kernal with no Perflock. It makes it an extremely snappy Sense Rom. Only Sense has the Flash working, none of the AOSP roms do I believe.
Only downside is Nfinite is on Hiatus due to some personal stuff but he has popped back in and said he isn't gone, just dealing with it and plans to update again soon.
my replyo
ok thanx so fo example even I port the flash light apk (htc flash player) can I at least use that on the aosp rom or the cm 6 or does they need the sense to even aollow it to work ? I just want to be ready to root asap when the hero arrives tomorow
You cannot use those functions in an AOSP rom, has to be with sense.
Ok one last thing before I do this once I get my recovery going and I'm rooted of course I do a data wipe then apply a zip (rom) file correct and if I want to try other roms repeat the proscces. Right just want to make sure. That's how I would do it on my moment

Yes you would go to recovery, do a factory reset, wipe Dalvik, Cache, etc and then you can flash the new zip for the rom you wish to try.
Most roms will have a sort of guide or instructions, some have things specific to the rom being flashed, so make sure and read the full post, and maybe browse the thread for tidbits that users have had to say about the rom.

Is ASOP gb stabel?

sry to post this, its prolly a dumb question. but i cant seem to find a straight answer in the development forum. so is ASOP 2.3.2 stable?
Flash it and find out.
Here is a more helpful response than that above:
http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=What_Works
From that page and the discussion thread, people are having issues here and there. GPS and youtube viewing seem to be a common problems. Besides that, it seems pretty good
thanks, looks like its stable minus the ability for wifi tethering
The built in wifi tether doesnt work but the one on the market does.
The ASOP GB has been more stable on my phone then any other build sense the ones Fresh did last year.

Hell, more stable than anything I've run on my phone.
I really want to flash it but I'm S-On and I'm afraid if recovery craps out on me then I'm screwed.
On top of that I've never done the SD card partition thing and want to read up a little more on it before I take the plunge

If you follow the instructions (or just fastboot erase instead of flashing Clockwork), you will be fine. You HAVE flashed a custom rom before, right? It's pretty easy..

G1 and Mytouch 3g 32b Sense ROMs?

Looking for a sense ROM for Mytouch 3g 32b (or G1) Radio 27.08? I see plenty of HTC sense ROMs bot none for radio 27.08. I have tried SenseL2.7 but can't get past the language selection screen. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116154
Would be great if it was Froyo or Gingerbread sense for Radio 27.08.
Sense lx is 2708+ (and why didn't you post on th thread that it didn't work? We would have helped)
The gb sense rom is 2708+
Namit1994's sense rom is 2708+ I think
I Just re-flashed it to try again. I didn't use the MTD I using the recovery from Rom manager (Still can't get passed the language screen). What is the link for those other two ROMs you mentioned?

I am monitoring the SenseLX I am currently using SenseLX 2.7 waiting for wifi to work on 3.0 before installing it. I do not have a data plan so I use wifi for everything.

[Q] wifi shows error after installing nameless rom

my apologies if this question has been asked before but since i couldnt find it anywhere so i am posting now:
this is my first time rooting an android device and that too coz recently my htc desire c had become super slow so i unlocked bootloader and downloaded the hasoon2000 tool but after the recovery step i was totally lost on how to flash kernel and all so i switched to superboot and i successfully rooted my phone.
now i wanted to install a rom so i chose nameless rom but the instructions were so confusing and i messed up. i couldn't install it and then my phn wnt start so i went back to hasoon2000 and flashed kernel using the boot.img from the nameless rom and my phn was back up but my wifi is not on anymore. its says error and i saw that my mac address was gone. then i tried again installing the rom and this time i did successfully install it but my wifi is gone
i have two questions:
1. how can i get my wifi back in this rom?
2. can i install any other rom and if i do then will i get my wifi back?

Click on the second link in my signature.. Look for Prometheus Sense Kernel there. Flash that using fastboot, (or the toolkit) and your wifi should be back.

The 'method' to install any ROM is the same and its not difficult. And there is no such thing as a best rom. It's just personal preferences. So if you like HTC Sense, then go for Revolution or Sensational Rom. And if you like a more 'Nexus-like' feel then we've got a lot of JB Roms for you. JB ROMs are believed to be faster than Sense ROMs in general.
So just look at threads of the different ROMs and once you decide to install, download it. I'm running Cyanogenmod 10 right now. I've been using it for a long while now. It was the first JB rom made for this phone and all the other ROMs are made using this as a base..
We even have Samsung-like and Xperia-like Roms. So if you're interested in that, have a look.
And for Sense, Sensational ROM V4 is the most up to date ROM we have. It has a Sense 5 feel to it..
Hope that helps a bit. One more thing - never ask for best rom or best kernel. It's bad manners. But we can understand as you're new..
