Ok, so I have searched and searched... Watched Youtube, etc and I can't get definitive answers or instructions on installing roms, radios, etc. on my Google Ion Dev phone. I bought the phone to be different from the Mytouch crowd, but that seems to have been a bad move on my part so far.
I would like someone to either link me to or walk me through installing a rom for my phone. I would really like the Donut 1.6 version with all the bells and whistles like tethering and MT. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks
Do you even look a little bit at the stickies??????

As much as people claim to search and search and read and read you would think they would read somewhere that posts are supposed to be put in appropriate forums.

The Ion is not a Dream device, but based on the Sapphire. Please post in the appropriate forum.
Sapphire

this is why XDA has strict rules about posting on their site, if you don't like it ,then don't be a part of the community. Go back to the experts over at the tmobile forums, you can posts any thing any time, anywhere. You guys should feel at home there. .
I prefer to go the "this is where you should post but I'll help you still" route. At least if I can help. Simply telling someone they posted in the wrong place when they're new is no help at all. Yes there are a lot of posts in the wrong section but you don't have to be so anal about it. I didn't know the Ion was a Sapphire device, I didn't know what it was really and my only experience with the Ion is via Soulife's ROM which is stupidly fast. In conclusion, I am great.
Anal you say, ,,
In the Q&A section alone 2522 + threads have been opened . Could you imagine what the development section would've looked like without the Q&A section. .
I think the mods are doing a great job, and members that flame rule breakers, don't stop, burn them to a crisp. .
I don't mean they do things too harshly but that they could at least offer help while telling someone they're posting in the wrong place. I'd hate to be a moderator because it's a thankless job that isn't easy. Please don't misunderstand what I meant

In the device listings in the top page of the XDA forums there are images of each device next to its associated forums; just looking at the front page would tell you that the Ion is not a Dream device, but a Sapphire device.
Also, the reason there are different forums for the two devices is because their hardware and software are different. The Sapphire uses a different SPL and method for flashing ROMs. Asking questions in the Dream forum about the Sapphire board is like going into a hardware store and asking for help with your VCR—keeping the posts in the relevant location is beneficial to everyone involved.

lmao good you read my thread... but the reason why i put that was i saw drizzy and cy's thread alot of things on there were b/s so i put my thread up and i wanted it too look decent lol but yeah good job!... you just are still a "MLIG" haha
Thank you all for the help/defense. I didnt realize that I posted in the wrong section. I was up all night/morning trying to figure this all out on my own. When I say I tried searching, I did. When you search Google Ion, you get 10,000+ hits with the mention of "Google" or 10,000+ with any word with "ion" ala "application, etc. If I post something, that means I am really at a loss. You can see that I have been a member for a lil while, but only have a few posts.
I was finally able to do it via trial and error. I didn't make a image of the current Ion rom so that went out the window. The Google Ion aka Magic (developer's phone) is already rooted (I figured this out on my own). Power + Home will access that area just like the other Magics that are rooted. I put the rom on a seperate sd card without partitions etc. Just a straight drag and drop and rename to "update." When everything finished I then reinstalled my original sd card that had all my apps on it. So far the phone runs fine, it still has that typical android jerkiness at times, but I think that its just the memory constraints of the phone. I loaded the Donut version that has the expansion pack for tethering, etc.
Maybe my post can be moved so that it might help someone else that just needed a simple question about this phone answered.
PS:Since I just did a simple drag and drop will I run into problems later? What's the purpose of partitioning?
Is it quite possible that there will not be an update to the G1 for android 2.0? This was my fear with the G1, that it would become outdated. I read an article saying that it was planned for the Hero, but the Dream and Magic haven't been discussed yet. I know that we can rely on Cyanogen to fill in the gaps, but doesn't he have us get the google experience apps from HTC? Are we gonna be SOL on these if HTC chooses not to provide updates for them? Thoughts on this please.

Learn through practice, reading, and doing yourself.
i dont know if this is possible or not, that is why i am asking the experts here at xda... i had the mlign 3.0 hero rom on my g1 it was to laggy after a while for me so i switched to cyanogen 4.2.5 which is faster imo.. but i really like the camera in the mlign rom though, both video and picture quality was better. so is there a way i can take the camera software from mlign and port it to cyanogens? any and all help would be great!
NO YOU CAN NOT NEED HTC FRAME WORK.

I did a quick search and found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507 try putting your question there and see what happens. You never know you may be supprised
maybe XDA needs to put in place a process that only mods can reply to messages that have been posted in the wrong category. I too am tired of looking at question threads in the development forum but do we really need multiple people filling a thread saying the same thing over and over.
Hello, All.
I want the exact same thing, I want the camera from CM 4.0 build. Because this 4.2.5 Camera sucks. It really does. And looked through out the Q&A. No luck. Please. Help someone, anyone.
come on people read the posts first

I have recently come off of using an iphone and started using the dream and was wondering if it was possible to port itransmogrify to the dream. I am posting this because I here so much complaining about lack of flash support and wondered if this could be a possible solution to the problem. I am well aware that this is far from full flash support but I found myself constantly using it on the iphone and to say the least it is very convenient to have. Here is the link to the itransmogrify website http://joemaller.com/2008/1/12/itransmogrify/.
Please do not flame me if this is not useful or if it needs to be posted somewhere else if it already is posted somewhere else I am simply trying to help the community out by showing the developers something they may not have previously been aware of. I really hope this helps.
P.s
I own both the iphone and the dream and hands down the dream is better!
if u look into it you will see that there is nothing to "port" it is just an javascript. the only problem is that the Android browser will add an "http://" infront on javacript, so you cant use it as an bookmark. but if you klick on the link on his page, it works on android the same way like on iphone
hmm
I wonder if there is a way to stop the browser from putting html in front of java ill look into it and let you know of any break throughs thank you for the help.

Ok this is an old post but im using it for a new question since there was only 1 reply lol
tequnically this is a question so i feel it can stay in the Q&A lol but im one of the few un-lucky people who didn't know about XDA when i first got my G1, i was a little slow when this all first started and i finally joined earlier this year..
So my question is...
Is anyone as sad as i am knowing that the G1 section of xda has died down a whoooooole lot...? lol
this section used to be swarming with advanced and new users for the device and had so much going on, around 2009 this place was just moving so fast you could't keep up with the development lol but now it's just sad... makes me wish i could turn back time and be apart of the G1 movement lol sorry to waste your time if you read this... but i really just wanted express that opinion and see if anyone else has anything to say about there fondest G1 memories
thanks for your time, incase you were curious whatt the post used to be i left the 'OP' in quotes down here... lol
OP
Does anybody know how to remove a rom from the rom manager account? when i go to edit, the only option even close is the visibility... but i want to take it off!!! is it possible?
Also i tried to update my developer name and id but it seems to not change on the rom manager app...
Aaaaaand my roms are only listed in premium section lol, how do i maketem free.... they really don't tell you how to do anything on the upload page..

old post old question...
old post new question!!
It is kinda sad to see the old G1 be left behind in the swarm of new devices.
yeah i know... everything now is just faster, and has loads of memory to play with..
makes this phone seem like the first computer ever made haha
