[Q] Best custom OS for g1? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My ol' G1 has some version of CyanogenMod that is crashing. It's quite old and probably froyo. This runs very slow. I'm looking for a recommendation for a good OS to throw on there that's now too slow.

depends what you like.. froyo, donut, gingerbread????? lol some good GB and Sense roms out that are pretty stable now too so just check out G1 development section and look at the latest posts with [ROM] in it lol if you just want an all around stable rom i would go with froyo by lazslo or xillius donut1.6 great stable roms with the right kernels

ROM Recommendation

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.

[Q] Which 2.1 ROM outta these 4?

Okay, Hi! 1st! (am new)
I did some research over at xda and which one of these will pay nice with my new G1?
SuperD | Chromatic | KiNgxKxlicK | Or Cyanogen
I prefer eye candy and apps... am a student. And a designer. What dya think?
SuperD is 1.6 ROM. SuperE is 2.1 ROM.
KingKlick made of lots of ROMs, I don't know to which one you are reffering now .
Cyanogen is something like base, master custom ROM. Only few try to build their ROMs based off AOSP source code, most of devs mod Cyanogen...Mod.
Chromatic is just themed Cyanogen.
About look - Android looks pretty the same, most ROMs affect things like kernel or system behaviour, not looks. Sense ROMs are pretty eye-candy, but IMO they are too heavy for G1. Only few vanilla Android ROMs are themed.
Android alone gives you AWESOME ability of customising alomst everything you want. You just have to search long enough. Trust me, you can change everything (of course it have some borders, too).
So what do you think i should use? It comes down to SuperE and Cyanogen.
Kinklic thing is kinda wierd lol..
Why not try both? Start with SuperE, it is meant to be fast CyanogenMod 5. I think you'll like it.
For me The best 2.1 I flashed is HTCCLAY's SuperBAD CM5 v1.7 awesome work its fast stable and i love this one. you can give it a try..

dont thanks me...thank CLAy that he build such a gr8 ROM

how stable is 2.2 for captivate?

Hi all, I have been trying to read through the forums and get up-to-date with respect to the latest captivate roms. How stable are the froyo ones? I am not a huge fan of the touchwiz ui and would definately prefer some of the vanilla experience found on my nexus one. Do any of the roms bring that to the captivate? Any general advice I should be aware of? thanks.
The only advice I can give you is to follow the rules and post these types of questions in the Captivate General forum, or in a ROM's own thread, this is the development forum.
ah, my mistake. Perhaps an admin can help move it. Sorry
Very stable if you stick with Cognition.
Moderately to very stable if you stick with an i9000 ROM. A few known issues but many use it
Beta and still needs more of their genius power if you go with Cyanogen. I can't wait for them to finish this

Froyo has been stable for me in both versions JI6 and JJ4. This is before I flashed Cognition. JJ4 is a lot less buggy and a bit faster, but both are noticeably slower than JH7. I still kept them installed because of all the extras that are only available on Froyo, and the overall speed was good enough to be usable. Cognition adds more speed, and several extra nice touches, but even before that Froyo was good enough for me. I'd never go back to JH7.
Actually I've had more problems with Cognition than with the i9000 roms. Of course I haven't used Cog since I found the i9000 roms. They are more like stock Android than the Captivate roms with the ATT crap removed.
The only problem I've had with the i9000 roms is with the alpha and early beta versions. They are just as stable as any other rom.

I have tried both extensively and both were stable but i9000 gives me the features I want plus it feels faster than any Cognition.

Wrong forum, but I will give my 2 cents anyways.
Best ROM I used is Axura beta1 with the JPP modem. You have to follow the directions on install to a "T", but it is well worth it as it is by far the fastest and cleanest ROM I have ever used. Cognition is also a great ROM, I just prefer Axura.

[Q] Lightest stable ROM?

I don't really use my phone for much besides texting and listening to music. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a ROM that would be good for me? I think I'd just want the lightest, best battery life ROM. I've never really dipped too deep into this sort of stuff, so browsing threads in the development section isn't really getting me anywhere.
If any of this info helps, this is what I've currently got on my phone (T-Mobile G1):
Biffmod 2.1
Dream PVT 32b Ship S-On
1.33.0013d SPL
2.22.27.08 Radio
RA-dream-v1.7.0 Recovery
Thanks for any help in advance.
I believe that biffmod is one of the fastest, cleanest, and most stable roms around. If you want anything faster, you would have to revert back to android 1.6. Either stock or by a dev here. However, I think biffmod fits the bill perfectly.

theres ezgingerbread, and ezterry's froyo aosp
both light and stable
There is also SuperAosp 6.4. To me it's stable enough. It also run fast for me.
i agree with maximo360. ezgingerbread, ezterry froyo ota, xillius donut if you dont mind android version. superbad cm5 is good also. ads magpie is like ezgingerbread.

+1 to all the above posters, to really get speed out of the G1, you must revert to 1.6 to get the best experience, you will be very happy with that. Gingerbread is pushing it if you want to get the best speed, froyo might be a go since it does feature JIT to increase speed, same goes for ginger...But Ginger is very heavy on older devices, so I would say stick with donut, when I used the G1 I stuck with Enom's donut ROM or Ben bauncher[is that how you spell it?], I don't know of the other donut builds but those two are my top choices for anyone.
Donut or Froyo...
Hi,if you want everything to work without troubles and stable flash HtClay fastest 3.0.3 or Froyo by Lazslo with Farmatito kernel... Š•verything works brilinat and batery life is long

2.3.7 to 2.1?

Alright, so I've been searching around for a few hours now with no luck on this. I'm a bit new to all this and haven't really messed with my Hero in about a year except for updating Cyanogenmod every now and then.
I'm currently running CM7 and was trying to get my HTC Hero (CDMA) back to stock (or at least to a point where I can use HTC Sync). I've tried flashing a few ROMs, but I either get stuck in a boot loop or they fail to install. I'm not sure if I'm right in saying this, but is it because I'm running 2.3.7 and trying to install older ones from 2.1? I've looked for guides on how to downgrade, but I can't seem to find any; almost everything I find is really outdated.
I don't necessarily need to go to 2.1 if I can flash a ROM that allows me to access HTC Sync, but I haven't had much luck finding that either. If someone could point me in the right direction or tell me where I'm going wrong I would greatly appreciate it.
htc sync is just the software that installs all your drivers automatically but if your on an aosp rom you can still install them individually. If you really want to go to stock that badly id just use nfx stock its rooted but still completely stock.
The reason I was trying to get a ROM with HTC Sync was so I could use a method from theunlockr website (it won't allow me to post a link).
Anyway, I finally managed to flash Zero Hero Sense to it, but it runs so slow. I now have HTC Sync on it and I'm pretty sure I know how to unroot it from here, but I was wondering before I do if there is a stable 2.3 ROM that is really quick; I'm only searching for performance.
Kushdeck or jaybob are the fast, But using Aosp's 2.2 version 9.9.2 was the fastest compared to any other rom I've used.

Thanks! Trying them now.
with zero hero it seems to me you need to let it run for a little while, mine smoothed out after about a day of running it and is actually quite snappy for a rom that should max out our devices
or you can try cyanogenmod stable, its quite fast

Yeah, that's what I originally had on there, but I wanted some kind of change. I've got jaybob on there now and I enjoy it; very simple.
Maybe I should try leaving zero hero on there a bit longer, I really liked the look of it.

this rom is superb. no force closes and runs snappy and beautiful
since it's gingerbread i'd suggest installing another keyboard.
froyo's keyboard was so much better

I've been using Kushdeck and loving it so far so it has my vote between deck and jaybob.
Zero Hero Sense gets my vote!
