I was considering re-rooting my G-1, and am fully capable of doing it without help, as i had it set up before cupcake's official release, on JF's cupcake rom. Mainly, i would like a 2.x Rom, that EVERYTHING WORKS ON!
I see a lot of different roms to flash, and basically want all the functionality of 1.6 stock plus the added perks of 2.x......
I see tons of roms with either camera not working, unstable, needs a different radio flash etc. Is there a 2.x rom, all inclusive of stock 2.x?? If there was a promise of an ota to eclair, i would just wait for it,but the only talk for the g1 and eclair are rumours....
reading through all the change logs to try and find one that everything works on is making my brain numb, and its all starting to sound like jibberish. I don't care about themes, as i like to set up my own homescreens, wallpa[er, widgets, etc...
any help would be appreciated, as i am not a develper and some of what the change logs show does not make sense to me, so if something in the rom says unstable/not working, i really don't want it to avoid functionality issues...
thanks in advance

There is not a rom that everything works because we are missing the drivers, thats why Camcorder and Video playback dosnt work on any Eclair rom. There are stable roms, like Manup v1.5 and KingxOver (not sure, but KingKlick + Herver = Good rom.) But you wont find a complete Eclair rom on the whole internet, so stop looking for it...want a fast and stable complete Donut rom, i suggest you to try CSDI v1, wich is totally amazing.
Stick with 1.6 custom roms for now until the development of 2.x is fully compatible and problem free. Unless you can provide technical data and good feedback to those developers just play it safe and content.
See my signature, tried and true its one of the fastest 1.6 Roms there is. Try it and you will see with your own eyes.
I have been thinking for a long time every possible way to get flash player on the Milestone with 2.1 roms.
We all know that there is possible to enable flash on some HTC devices due to the fact that they have flash lite embedded on their browser, so just replacing the flash version and doing some minor changes you get a fully working flash enabled browsing experience.
The problem here is the following, it seems that the stock 2.1 browser is unable to load any third party plugins, while the modiffied 2.1 and stock 2.2 browser can do without trouble. Unfortunately i am no developer and i dont have the knowledge to do an in-depth research about this or if this is even possible at all, even though it sounds pretty easy at first glance.
So im just tossing the idea here and it would be appreciated if some dev could give it a try anytime, or at least, explain here why it's impossible to get flash working on Eclair roms. Thanks in advance for the reply.
I've been searching for this same solution.. I stumbled upon AuxLV who did some work but I believe abandoned his project due to lack of time. . I don't doubt its possible because AuxLVs work went in a totally different direction.. can't be too much keeping froyo flash from eclair.. but I'm no dev so I wouldn't know. Simply by upgrading a xt720 flash is enabled. . Just doesn't seem to complexed in logic.. and no one wants to talk.. hmm.
I am currently running kingklicks sapphiresense 1.4 and loving it, except the Bluetooth is broken and a2sd, if present, is, um. .. strange. Anywho, I want a new Rom. I need a working flash player and a2sd. Sense would be nice, but not a necessity. I just love the looks and speed. Sense wit& working Bluetooth would be a godsend. However, I will gladly take sense over Bluetooth if I must choose. I own a US T-Mo G1 with DEATHSPL and amon_ra 1.7.0 . I believe I'm running the minimum radio for deathspl, but I'm willing to reflash. Also, if there's a kernel that can enhance the Rom you reccomend, please do tell. Thank you!

As far as i know I know theres no way to get flashplayer on G1. The hero has Flash player 10 built in. I'm not sure if the devs take that out of the rom though but it's worth a try. The G1 wasn't really meant for flash.

Try just about any hero sense rom by kingklicks. Flash support is amazing, but apps2sd is busted.
Hello everyone. Yes I know everyone is saying "oh god not another random shutdown thread!" Hehe but believe me I am not one of those that goes on here and just decide to post up a thread and not do any researching! I have been diggin my freaking eyeballs out by staring at over 50 plus pages of forums on here and on google! So far no answers
I believe the problem started ever since I upgraded to the leaked Froyo 2.2 of designgears and rooted it. So far I have not installed any apps such as task killer or anything that could cause this problem. I found out this morning by waking up and my phone is not on after charging it. Alot of people state they are fine with the leaked 2.2 and that it is not froyo thats doing this but then a lot of people also said that the leaked froyo 2.2 has a problem with the power management and is a bug.
I am literally about to go blind if I keep on reading any more threads, well not blind but will get a horrible migraine headache. Now can someone point me to the right direction to what I need to do?
Should I restore back to 2.1 eclaire using Odin's one click method and then do the over the air update from att? Would that fix the problem or do I need to return the phone, which is unlikely because no one is claiming it's the phone. Plus I just literally got the phone like a week ago brand new.
Please help me out and other newcommers to the android scenes Thank you for your time!!
This is a known issue with his oc/uv versions. You can flash back to stock using the One Click Odin and the try one of the non-oc/uv versions to see if you have any better luck.
I'm on the non-oc version of Perception 8 and do not have the charging death trouble.
Thank you very much for this reply. What is oc/uv version mean? Can you elaborate more on it? I will try to revert back to stock 2.1 eclaire but I really want to have the froyo on this phone cause I heard it's much much better?!? Will Perception 8 do that or is it just a simple theme/UI change? I was going to try digigaff's rom and the cognition rom but will that make my phone a froyo or it's still a eclaire?
Oh btw, I also read that you have to use odin to flash to stock rom to use those, does that mean I have to flash back to 2.1 anyways since froyo is not supported?
Edit 1: This is the digigaff rom that I was talking bout, but I noticed he mentioned it being oc also, which I think isn't good to do on these phones bc of the back being metal and gets hot?
oc = overclocked
uv = under volted
No I wouldn't think overclocking would be a great idea. I mean, what kind of applications are you running? It's not like we're trying to solve world hunger or launch the next rocket into orbit. Applications run just fine @ 1ghz. Anyone that tells you any different is probably running an application that is poorly coded.
Perception is based on a Bell (Canadian) I9000 Froyo Rom. Cognition is a great way to get Froyo on your phone as it is way more user friendly. I started with the Cognition roms when I started my flashing.
Just remember to read as much as you can about the rom you want to use, have backups of applications and data (most use Titanium Backup) to restore (not system data as this will cause problems) after you flash and have a good plan on how to recover when something goes wrong. We've all had to flash to stock and start over again at least once.
Good luck and welcome to the forums!
I see so perception is build on the froyo core, but I have to make sure I have to flash back to eclaire 2.1 before flashing back again to the perception? So the leaked 2.2 froyo on this site as well as all the other sites are a result of a oc/uv "beta'' copy and not like a official release?
did you check out digigaff's rom to see if it's ok to use for the captivate or would that rom oc it?
So, I have a SGS I9000t and am currently very frustrated with the official firmware 2.2.1, since some apps are having terrible issues. Whats worse is that lots of my programs are having constant crashes. My available ram is always getting capped, and i have to uninstall some programs that add functionality that while unnecessary they're nice to have.
Now I have been thinking, what to do? I hear I could flash my device. Doing so would improve its performance, even update to gingerbread. So now i have some questions. I bought this phone and recklessly installed darky's rom. It worked, but without 3g. Other than that, it was pretty amazing. I kept screwing around with it trying to fix 3g and finally bricked it. Took it in for warranty and got a new one.
I dont want to repeat the same mistakes, so this time i want to be extra careful.
Is there a way to do a complete backup? Like every single piece of data in ALL of my phone's memory backup. In case this flash goes wrong, I can just make it work just as it was before?
Is there a way to try roms before flashing? Like just load a rom on top of another rom without altering the current rom.
I would like to evade roms with 2.2.1 firmware, because of the problems mentioned before, so whats the best, non 2.2.1 rom available? Most stable, just plain best.
Since y phone is a i9000t my modem seems to have some problems when flashing, so here are the details of my phone: Model GT-I9000T // FW Ver 2.2.1 // Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 // Build FROYO.UBJP9
Im sorry if this is a lot of info, i just want to do this right. If I flash my phone its for better funcionality, not to get worse. Thanks for your time, if youve read this far. Hopefully you can help me out.
You are asking to be spoon fed information that is out there already!
1st rule of forum is look before you ask, people will help you if you make the effort, but you have to make the effort first. Sorry if this is harsh, so as a pointer, read the main q&a first as a starter

Ahh yes. Ive read a lot actually. Not the basic stuff though. I may have to sit down and read up.
One quick question though, Im sure its not in the FAQ.
I have been dealing with my phone and I see now that many of the problems im having are created by the apps themselves. Will changing my rom actually help greatly? Is 2.3.3 recomemded?
Sent from my GT-I9000T using XDA App
samsung use rfs file system that decays over time, hence people tend to lagfix to cure this, ie. Convert to ext4, this is done through a kernel tweak, you need to start reading and learning, im sorry but I wont do your homework for you!
Sent from gt i9000 insanity 8.5/fugumod
Your problems are not due to 2.2.1 Its the best non GB rom .
Your first step is factory reset .
Second check Kies for an update .
Third step would be to remove these problem apps .
But i just spotted the problem at some stage you installed a darkys rom
Known killer of phones ..
Total removal is flash stock froyo 2.2 rom with pit and repartition checked .
jje
I flashed darkys rom but traded that phone for a new one. So I have a fresh factory 2.2.1 and its working very well. My biggest problem is the bug with programs resetting/not saving settings because the old data stays after uninstalling. Also the rom runs great, what im looking for is better compatibility on perhaps another rom. But you say its as good as it gets so I may be staying with this rom.
Edit; Also, I must add that Kies cannot update my device, because my service provider has my device locked on that firmware. Now what you suggest is flashing to 2.2, then updating to a stock gingerbread rom through Kies? Should'nt I just flash GB and get it over with?

Yeah, ODIN is your friend.
Well, now that I have a couple of people here, I will ask, which if these two roms would be better to install?
Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock Samsung or
Juwe's Smart Edition http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964672
I like how juwes sounds, but it says something that bothers me, and that is, that it has no bugs, and that is an extremely ignorant claim, since the gingerbread release will always have bugs, no piece of software is perfect, ever. That said, it could be much better than samsungs, so help me out on this one. Thanks.

If you go around looking for a problem, you are most likely to find one. This applies to more than just phone firmwares. Like you said, no system is truly perfect... With that said, I would recommend you try a custom ROM over any stock one... And Juwe's ROM is a pretty trusted one on this board... so sure, go ahead and try it!
I ended up flashing a new kernel. Speed mod or something. It worked amaizingly well. Sadly I had already bought voodoo plus, and i wont be needing that anymore. Im really pleased with my phone now. Thanks to everyone for your advice.

If you are not curious about what are in new roms and if you do not have any problems with the stock rom. Do not flash.....
I will flash haha. But I backed up all of my data before. In case anything goes wrong. Thanks for the advice though

I'd say that the voodoo plus app still will be quite useful as it works its magic regardless of kernel. You might find yourself on a standard kernel one day, and then you will still be able to enjoy the improvements of voodoo.
Slap me if I'm wrong...

This is a known problem, i had it happen to me several times on froyo firmwares. Solution is to go into settings, applications, then clear data and cache of the problem program, then uninstall it, and go into /data and /dbdata/ and find any data the program has left behind and delete it. Reinstall the app from the market, and the problem should be gone. Havent had it crop up in gingerbread yet.
