Which version of Super G runs smoothest on a G1?
lolwut
SuperG (Gingerbread) is not existing at the time being. We just had our hands on SuperF (Froyo) and other test Froyo ROMs .
Well i bought a G1 off ebay, i checked the Mod Version and Build Number on the About Phone menu and it says its running Super D 1.10.4
ok super D is a great rom if u wanna run 1.6 donut on your G1, here is a website to get you started with new roms and 1.5, 1.6(donut), 2.0, 2.1(eclair), 2.2(froyo)
go to androidspin .com and click on release list and put in your phone type

I'm pretty sure they all have multitouch support
try Super D in my sig
if the maps doesn't have mt then have a look at the gmaps link
Yeah I think most of the ROMs support it now, but bear in mind you'll have to use browsers or apps that use multitouch. SuperD is awesome. I'm currently running enomther's TheOfficial Donut w/ expansion pack v2.5.1 (TMO OTA DRC83 cuz I like being able to check my Yahoo mail) and generally use Dolphin Browser. Both are great 1.6-based ROMs with a lot of mods, including multitouch.
Hello all,
I am new to this site and new to the custom ROM rooting, I not the biggest fan of android 2.1 so I looking for a new ROM, does anyone have any suggestion's on ROM's I could use for my phone and the directions, since I being new I have no idea how to root. I have the Sprint CDMA Hero, Thanks in advance and sorry for being a newbie
My favorite 1.5 rom was Fresh 1.1 accompanied by the gumbo kernel.
You'll have to do a little searching to find it though, pretty much everything has been built on 2.1 for the last few months.
Ya I notice most newer ROM's are based off 2.1 which is fine with me, I just not a fan of the andriod 2.1 update, lots of apps just run randomly, and horrible call and dial lag

Not a fan of Android 2.1? Or Sense 2.1? I'd go try darchdroid before going back to anything 1.5
+1 for DarchDroid.
Check the Stickies or the Wiki. Everything you need to Root and flash ROM's is in those.
i have been running cyanogens roms since i rooted my g1. there are so many roms out there and i would like to try some different ones but i have no idea where to start. im into features and looks. any recommendations? TY
1st choice should be the version: eclair or donut?
on donut i would recommend CSDI as it was the best looking rom and its fast to. dwang worked even better for me but there is no eyecandy
atm i use cyanogen 5. its ok but i didnt tried another eclair rom yet so i have no comparison
im on eclair right now with CM5.0.7 test 3
Best of both worlds:
Super E for Eclair
and
Super D for Donut
Theme options for both those Roms are very high.
Try either one and you will recognize this fact.
Hi Friends,
What are the Memory isssues if I wanna Upgrade my T-Mobile G1 (i.e., HTC-Dream) from the Current 1.6 to Froyo version of 2.2...
Plz help, if I will get any Problems if I do that coz 2.2 is for Higher Mobiles that have HIGH-END HARDWARE...
I am planning to Upgrade my T-Mobile G1 (i.e., HTC Dream) from 1.6 to 2.2 & since U already upgraded Ur G1-phone to 2.2, I would really love to ask U some Questions about the Upgrade...
Many of the ANDROID Forums on the Internet say that I should not upgrade it to 2.2 as only 1.6 is the one which it supports Officially & since there is VERY VERY VERY less Memory on the G1-PHONE, they say that "I won't be having any Memory left on the RAM" if I install 2.2 onto my G1-phone that has the 1.6 version...
Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz Help me "Whether I can Upgrade my Phone to 2.2 version (from 1.6)"...
& How U are Rreally managing the MEMORY on the phone after U uograded it to 2.2
Plz plz plz plz plz plz Reply me ASAP & AEAP...
If I really can install/Upgrade to the Latest Version, can U plz provide me some STEPS/Website Links to follow...
Actually, I don't know how to do it, but I have a Friend who works as ANDROID-DEVELOPER who will do it & he says he knows the STEPS to do it...
Thanq verry much,
(I have written this message on Sunday, the 25th July 2010 at 10:50pm IST (i.e., at 6:20am GMT)...
RSVP asap & aeap,
Thanx.
The upgrade process is really pretty straightforward nowadays, a good guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727688
As for memory, yes you will have less, it is a big step up, and you will get times where memory is so tight that it will slow everything down dramatically, for this I use Taskiller, which is mostly an old habit from Android on Kaiser, but seems to work well on G1 also.
However why 2.2? At the moment 2.1 is actually better for memory, allows apps2sd, and is more stable than 2.2, ( in my opinion anyway ), so I'd go for CM 5.0.8 rather than CM 6.0-rc1.
For me 2.1 offers everything I was used to on my Kaiser, and I honestly don't see a major difference in 2.2 that makes it a 'must have'
I just spent today upgrading my G1 to 2.2 RC2 and am a bit undecided.
While yes, the older hardware, less memory, and overall outdated (by todays standards) phone, 2.2 actually runs fairly smooth. Having come from a speed 1.6, then 2.1, I will admit that 2.2 definitely is not meant to run on this old of hardware. Granted, the extra options are fancy to show off to friends, but for an everyday system, I couldn't recommend it.
I will definitely give it more than just a days testing though. At least until this weekend, but at the current rate, it looks like I will be heading back to 2.1. I just do not see the benefits of 2.2 on such old hardware.
**RIP** G1 from T-Mobile...you were a milestone.
My wife's phone died today and I'm going to resurrect my old G1 and give it to her ... I was running CM-something on it and was not happy because it was very slow and crashed a lot ...
So ... what is the fastest and most stable G1 rom? She doesn't care about GPS or special features -- she just wants a phone that will work well.
"We are offering three kind of ROMs: fast, stable and full featured
you can choose any two characteristics:
- fast and stable will not be full featured
- fast and full featured will not be stable
- stable and full featured will not be fast"
It depends much on what you want. First you have to choose the base, i.e. Gingerbread, Froyo, Eclair, Donut, Cupcake?
Then you have to decide if you need apps2ext?
Then you need to decide about additional features / settings.
Some ROMs which are working well in my opinion are:
ezGingerbread/ADS_Magpie, CM 7.1 Magpie, FroyoByLazlo, Enomther's Original Donut, ... there are much more, but I do not know them well.
If she just wants a basic phone that you can text/call/email/browse web then use dwangs 1.6 rom. Never crashes or FC's
Then download opera mini browser

or use superD. I find it pretty fast with my ancient of days g1..
You can choose in value of what do you want:
1. Fast games and programmes - froyobylaszlo (or CyanogenMod6, or BiffMod)
2. Beauty graphic - LegSense.
3. Stable - donut 1.6
Choose =)

Check out any 1.5 or 1.6 from dev HTCCLAY. Very very smooth and stable.
Well if that's all, I then recommend u to use gingerbread, it's so stable with very very few crashes
Thank me later

I'm sorry, I have used a lot of gingerbread ROMs and Gingerbread is one of the unstable kind. I would prefer, if you're not into lots of apps and only for music, use a Donut ROM, where the phone is made for. Super D is an awesome ROM, good speed, but if you are into apps and want one of the latest firmwares, use FroyoByLazslo with a ICS theme, looks awesome, can't find the thread though.
