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

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.
Hello I recently restored my Captivate thanks to the people that helped me yesterday but I need to know the most stable Froyo ROM out I had Darky's Captivate ROM and that failed and my phone became a brick. Thanks for the help.
If your looking for stability stay away from the new 2.2.1 roms (JPX, JPU, & JPY) and stay away from overclocked roms too. From my personal experience, Di11igafs rom (version 2.5, not 3.0) was really good. It comes overclocked but its easy to remove with the voltage control app. I got good battery life, wifi worked, good reception, and even gps was better than normal. I also hear from others and from reading the entire thread that Mikey's Assonance 5.0 is pretty stable. It's a NO BS rom and many people like it. Hope this helped.
Thanks for the help I was on 2.2.1 lol and my phone just flat out died I will try them
I have safely used Cognition, Auxura, and Assonance. Currently on Assonance and although it is an i9000 OC ROM I haven't had any issues.

Why wouldn't you want to run the latest up to date froyo build?
Nothing wrong with mildly overclocked roms either, i've been running at 1200mhz for a while with no side effects. Sure trying to run the phone at 1500mhz might give you some issues... but i have yet to find a rom that isn't stable, and i've pretty much tried them all.
champ0497: how exactly did darky's rom brick your phone?
Cronus is my flavor of the day. It is a minimalistic rom that is very stable and fast.
See the ROM in my signature. U could use the same version, or the v2.5. Been pretty stable. Also have working GPS.
I have used both cognition 2.6 and Assonance 5. Both are very stable but Assonance wins hands down for being fast. It would be my recommendation

anybody seen any 2708 sense ROMs yet?
Im currently running the latest sparksmod which is awesome and fast as hell
BUT, i miss sense.
im even willing to give up froyo and go back to eclair.
im also not real clear on the steps (kernel/radio/SPL) i would need to take to get backto having a G1 that can run sense.
any insight would be awesome.
I personally have not seen any SENSE roms for the 2708 kernel. That does not mean that they do not exist tho.
As far as removing the 2708 radio/SPL, you can go back to the Danger/Death SPL and proper radio through recovery. Radio first, then SPL, then ROM and gApps.
Most ROMS already have the needed kernel included...It should be posted otherwise
2708 Sense ROM with MTD
the dev is kind of busy with college atm so there haven't been done much work for 2 weeks now. But it is pretty up to date, fast and stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900765
There is an ongoing project here.
For now there is an old 2708 kernel with +8mb ram (not14) that is compatible with old rom (1.5 and 1.6, so 1.5 sense rom)
Hi All,
I have COSDS on my Dream (in my sig).
Current radio is 3.22.26.17 & Current HBoot is 1.33.2005.
The COSDS (and the CM6.1.0 before that) is not working too good. Messaging, maps, call logs, always reset themselves. COSDS is overall pretty slow once I load a couple of applications that I need into it. CM always locks up once a day, at least.
Was wondering if my radio & SPL is the problem.
What is the best combo RADIO/SPL for COSDS?
What is the best combo RADIO/SPL for CM6.1.0?
Thanks all
Heeter
32b right? i say dont use COS at all
i say you should use GingerYoshi or ezGingerbread, maybe ezterry Froyo, you might gonna have to update your Hboot to the 1.33.0013d for GingerYoshi or ezGingerbread(2708), but hey, 14 extra mb of ram. ezterry's Froyo which is called MT3G_test2, uses the 2005 spl, so that works COS "s kernel take up to much system, which makes it lag so much. ginger yoshi is pretty fast. ezgingerbread is stock GB so even better

Thanks again, for your help.
I ended up loading Ginger Yoshi RC6.1
Total difference now, as compared to COSDS, crazy better performance, even with all my apps reinstalled.
I do have a couple of questions, but I started new threads for them.
Thanks again,

hi. i know there are a few threads on this topic but i still haven't found the best rom. i have a 32b g1 currently running cos-ds (latest version) with latest radio and spl. it is pretty slow and has terrible battery life. Could someone please tell me the fastest, most stable rom with good battery life out there? preferrably 2.2 or 2.3.
thanks.
Depends much on individual preferences and needs ... I don't expect that there will be an objective answer.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App
it is very subjective..but still i can recommend roms which i've tried and personally satisfied.
2.2 : froyobylaszlo
2.3 : ads_ezGB
for GB rom foc there are still much things to be optimized, so if u are not really interested in testing much, just go with froyo.
