Downgrading to Eclair with 2708?

I've been using Biffmod 2.1 on my G1 for a couple days, including the upgrade to the 2708 radio. But I'm just not happy with the speed. I'm assuming if I roll back to Eclair, the speed will be better. But do I have to downgrade my radio too, or can I flash an Eclair ROM, then flash a 2708 kernel on top of it?

Why not try an updated Biffmod 2.1, or one of the ota 2.2.1 roms first? Ezterry's OTA and Froyo4trout are pretty fast.
As for downgrading, I don't see why the universal kernel patch wouldnt work, but I'm not sure.

you can just flash the eclair rom over your exisiting rom(wipe first ofc then flash preferred eclair rom, universal kernal patch, then firerats spoof spl.)

Is the flashing of a new radio and SPL actually necessary? When I had a g1 I frequently switched between cupcake, donut, eclair, AND froyo ROMs. I never had to flash a new radio or SPL between ROMs. Just do a wipe between flashing roms, especially between firmware versions (what I mean by that is you should do a full wipe, cache, dalvik cache, and all betweem different versions of android, such as 1.6 to 2.1 or 2.1 to 2.2, etc.)

Ya, that's right. The radio shouldn't make a difference in the rom once you flash the kernel patch. I just didn't see that much of a speed difference between froyo and eclair. If you wanted a speed boost, donut would be your best bet. Its the fastest on these old phones.

I think eclair was probably worse than froyo since it was a port from the nexus one if I remember correctly. Google included the g1 drivers in the source code for froyo, so it was a straight up AOSP build, no porting necessary.

[Q] Eclair vs Froyo ROM

Hi guys, i'm going to flash a new rom to my G1 soon, but before i do that, what would be faster? An Eclair rom or a Froyo rom? Thanks for your help (and sorry for the stupid question)!

It really depends on the rom for me i stick with donut roms and trick them out with the latest ADW and a theme and maybe beautiful widgets donut is the fastest and best with battery life but as far as eclair vs froyo
Eclair roms are down the drain so try biffmod
USe the thank button

From my experiences, Eclair is definitely faster for me than Froyo. If you want to try out an Eclair ROM, I would suggest SuperE. It's definitely the fastest Eclair ROM I have found.
However, just like the poster above me, I would recommend Donut ROMs. I just went back to Donut ROMs, and I love the speed it gives me. I think I'll be sticking with Donut ROMs until I upgrade my phone.

I would say froyo. Try biffmod 2.1 with 2708 port, this thing is as fast as any eclair or donut rom for that matter. 15mb radio/spl hack does wonders.

Yeah I agree Froyo is bound to be faster since it isn't a ported ROM. Most or all of 2.1 ROMs are based off of CM5.0.8, which was a port from the Nexus One. When google released the AOSP source for Froyo, they included the G1 drivers natively. They are much more stable than the eclair roms.
But, like others said earlier, donut is always going to be faster on the g1, but less apps are supported.

[Q] Downgrade Radio from 2.22.27.8

Hi, I'd like to downgrade my radio to a CM 6.x compatible radio. I currently am running SparksMod 2.1 and want to make sure I have no problems with bricks or anything I do currently have DangerSPL and the 2708 Kernel. Thanks!

What is the best rom that's. Run stable on G1 nowadays?

you could try froyo by laszlo 5.2,cos-ds,gingeryoshi etc..

For my ol G1 donut or froyo roms were the best for it, things got a little iffy when it was using Gingerbread or even a sense rom . Donut is the fastest though hands down, even w/o JIT.

I have tried a great number of roms and I can tell you that the best one is the PadronFroyo, the only problem is that I don't know if the italian is the only language, you can google it!

You can try SuperAosp. It is stable and fast.

If you want to run Froyo then its Froyo by Laszlo. And for Gingerbread Ginger yoshi or ezGingerbread by ezTerry..

Try Cyanogen ROM, really good one

now i'm trying froyo by laszlo. i think it's good. don't use padron froyo, because this version no supports bluetooth and screen rotation

Froyo by laszlo is the most stable froyo rom. Make sure to use EXT4 partition with it.

froyo yoshi, froyo by laszlo and ads_magpie are good.

[Q] froyo?

does anyone know of a 2.2 rom that has inbuilt usb/wifi tethering? like without pdanet or barnacle?

This one might work because it is Froyo ROM that works on custom kernel.
