What do you expect? At least you should install the 0013d/2708 combo to get additional 15MB RAM, otherwise Gingerbread ROMs will be slow, especially when you enable swap. If you would like to try out a GB ROM on your G1 you should go with ezGingerbread or one of it's variants. Just my 2 cents.

i might get rid of the g1. I saw on youtube peoples were running fast but mine is unusable except to text and make calls and even those apps are slow.

Have you tried updating your SPL/radio and ROM? Froyo ROM is pretty fast.

the phone is posted for 10 times .
and I find that the cyanogenmod 5 is very fast .
you can try.
the android system is 2.1 .

well if you have the time you could solve your problem quite easy.
root, change firmware and radio, and install a newer and tweaked rom like Laszlos' rom or froyo for trout. these are quite reliable.

This phone really isnt slow. It all depends on a persons needs as a cellphone user. For me its perfect. I dont play games, or run ram intensive apps. As long as i can make a call, send text/mms and browse the web every once in a while im a happy camper. Not to mention Laszlos Rom is so fast, i feel like im on a newer device anyway.

yep. its fully enough for me as well. now that theres DreamTeams' Froyo 2.2.2. based ROM, it even more snappy and fast than was with Laszlos' ROM, except there's not yet notification powercontrol and reboot option at Longpress-Powerbutton, but they are working on it.
so should one do nandroid backup and try that mod as well!

Blazingly fast for me. I also use it to play games that are power hunger, but it does not even slow down as much as I thought.
I am using Froyo Melt latest version (AKA: DreamTeam 2.2.2 : Same build with mod)

for some reason both of those Roms we're acting up for me ... I think you were in that thread BeenAndroidized.. Froyo Melt had tons of FC issues for me. DreamTeams Froyo worked great, except when i imported contacts from SIM or Sdcard they would not show up on contact list, but they would show up in text message app..very weird. So Laszlos for me right now lol
I also enjoy the features Laszlos has like Magpie and overclocking built in. Makes my life easier lol

I am in both threads, both Dreamteam and Froyo Melt ROMs has the same build. I am not sure why you have a lot of FCs. I have not had that issue there.

Aqtrans' CM-5.07 port for Kaiser/Vogue! [v1.1]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688880
This is my port of Cyanogen's latest Eclair build, v5.07-stable.

i'll give it a try
big up for the effort
Great build, I'm running it right now, and it thus far seems to be fast and stable! (bumped up the o/c to 500)
Two pieces of feedback...
If you can get facebook sync to work with the most current facebook app (the one with the "inbox" button rather than the "take photo" button it would be amazing. As of now, the only way to get facebook sync to work is to run the Moto Droid apk, which is the previous version.)
Anyway to get full market from the getgo? I have marketenabler working, but it isn't always consistent.
That being said, amazing build. Good work.

Slower. Linpack shows 2.2 MFlops for me, which is more than you get on Donut I think, but apps take longer to come up, a good 2 second delay sometimes. Overall its very usable just not as speedy as Warm Donut.

Using it from SD card has yielded positive results for me. There is obviously some slowness in opening an app here and there. Making and receiving calls seems to be delayed a few seconds, but again that could be because it's running from SD. I like the additional features/options Eclair adds over Donut, and the additional ROM items are nice as well (Internet tethering, etc.).
Main thing I recommend is that you NOT enable Gallery 3D. The moment I did that everything slowed to almost a stop. That is also mentioned in Cyanogen's write up linked from Aqtrans thread, but I thought it would call it out here as one that seems to be a show stopper, and I wouldn't want someone to judge this rom based on that one thing slowing it up.
with overclocking and JIT enabled, along with taskiller set to autokill when the screen turned off, along with fast window and transition animations, this is my daily build now.
def worth checking out v1.3

I'd wait til CM6 becomes final. 2.1 IMO just doesn't run well enough on G1's hardware. The speed is there, but apps get killed too easily for memory.

There is a lot of good custom ROMs. Go check The Rom Bible and look at the ratings of every ROM there. You will find something good.
And I agree that Eclair is usable, but not to fast. You have to set up a swap partition to run it good enough to be a daily driver. However, you will not find as fast 2.1 ROM as stock Donut. G1 has too little RAM memory (processor is good enough). But something for something - if you once see 2.1 ROM you won't want to go back, trust me .
If you're looking for speed - check Dwang, it's very good.
BUT! Very much depends how your son will use the phone. If his gonna do a lot of multitasking and play with the phone 24/7 then he should stay on 1.6 or start reading how to really set up an Eclair ROM to run smooth. If he is really casual user then almost every ROM will be OK for him.

2.1 sucks for multitasking. My widgets update 5 minutes late on average and sometimes they never do and I have to open the app to get them to update. Horrible.

that problem went away for me as soon as I ditched all Widgets that required a background dedicated service.. rather than just using the widget API to update from application data.

Interesting.
If he's anything like my son, he'll be using the phone for messaging. I would definitely avoid Eclair and Froyo for now. No need to root it - stock 1.6 is fine for most everyday purposes. If he starts to want to install tons of apps, then you can root and start investigating your options.
lol that happened to me my first day having the phone >.<

i had the same issue until i rooted and got away from sense based roms.
i'm currently using CM6 test 4, no issues with dialer lag....same with darchdroid 2.7
the hero is a slow phone...no doubt about it and sense makes it crawl to a halt. i regret coming back to this phone after owning the evo for a week. i got rid of that phone because of lack of customization.

my hero is blazingly fast. faster and more responsive than the stock evo's and DInc's ive played with.
ive no dialer lag. im rooted, nfinites .6 odex version with darch #6 kernel. so fast. so fast. i also love all the customization ive been doing in the graphical areas, bars, the 3g icon, etc. the hero really is a great device...i often have to remind myself thats its also a telephone. heres hoping for the cdma htc legend(which im sure sprint will call the hero 2. ill call it the htc legend)
also, op, if you would like to solve your lag issue there are countless ways to do so. look around in these forums, the members and devs here are amazing brains... and with a little instruction/research you can do almost whatever you want to with an htc hero.
It happens on my Alltel Hero too. It's known issue and Alltel has sent notice to HTC for a fix with no response.

Let's get back on topic, shall we
DonB, have you downloaded any task managers or task killers from the Market? Using one of these on a stock non-rooted phone is a great way to kill programs that run in the background to free up memory, which is where the lag is probably coming from.
Advanced Task Killer (ATK) is my personal favorite. It basically allows you to kill (end) open applications that are sucking up free memory. One of these is a must-have app to improve battery life and smoothness of your phone. PM me if you need more info.
No, I do not use any task killers as I was told they cause issues with other programs, what I do us is a shortcut for running services and everyday now I reboot my phone once in the morning and then click on the running services and stop process on 3 apps, Gtalk, CS Vmail as I use Youmail, and Sprint TV, there are others in the list but I am not sure what they are so I have not stopped them, LOL but any advice you recommend I am will to try, for now I have downloaded Launcherpro and have been using that for a week or so and have notice it has been much better, there is still some lag at times , but not nearly as much as when I had HTC Sence UI as default, so it is much more manageable, before I had 30 sec lags with HTC Sense at times , not all the time but it was painful when it was that long, now worst case scenario is about 10 seconds

[ROM] Tranquility 3.0

I'm not sure why it hasn't been mentioned on XDA yet, but TQ 3.0 has been released:
I'm only putting it out here, so if someone wants to make an official thread then go ahead. I'm amazed no one has said anything here... unless I'm missing something. Looks sweet!
READ ALL THE WARNINGS - especially Rubix users:
I'm leaving the below link in the post just in case, but the rom owner asked me to update the OP with a direct link. Don't worry, I tested the link, it's not malicious. Please visit this link first :

Installed and seems like this ROM is solid....no bug(s) yet....nice
Confused
This is supposed to be a blurless rom, correct? I loaded it last night, and def still has blur in it.... When I get home I'll have to see if it actually deodexed like it promised. Even Contacts are still blur...
I will say that it's FAST though..

All of the current ROMS have *some* level of Blur. Since we cannot bypass the Moto Kernel, there are some levels of base code that just have to be there.
Tranquility, Apex, zapX, and Rubix 0.5 were all built on the 2.3.15 release and then removed as much of the blur components as they could and still have it function.
Fission & Rubix 1.0 built from a base that came out of the Droid2 SDK which appears to be very stock Android and therefore, they are a little more 'blur-less' than others. Which is both good and bad. Time is showing that some of the blur components have some nice functionality that people are missing when they go completely blur-less.

This is absolutely true and was the same for the D1 except it wasn't Blur, but you can't build AOSP for D1 either without using the extract-files.sh to pull all of the proprietary components that make the phone work.
It's a basic truth about phone firmware.

So far, I've had like maybe one or two glitches.... sometimes after a reboot the boot screen gets left on the lock screen, so you can still unlock your phone, but you have to guess where the sliders are.
another is that the calendar widget doesn't work.
Other then those two, the rom is FAST, stable, and battery life has been great. Worth it to me in my opinion... It's not an ASOP "experience" though... it's more like a hybrid.
Like it so far though, it's my daily driver.
Edit: Also, this applies to STOCK people (running the 2.2 OTA).... I was odexed, completely stock..... installed this rom with ease: no wiping, no formatting, nada. AND it deodexed my phone for me.... LOVE THAT.

I have bought tasker aS well (the stock rom doesn't let the os sleep when gps is enabled so I bought it to turn it on and off for all my apps)
Now I like your idea of syncing every 30 but I use google voice exclusively. And the voice app. Does that mean if I turn off my sync I won't get my messages in a timely mater?

This rom also doesn't seem to sleep when wick is on. Am I missing something? Anyway I do see how this can save a lot a battery with the screen dining and everything. I had to wipe my phone to get it to work. Last time I tried when I booted every system app was force closing. I feel like this is a little slower than rubix but way faster then stock. Could be too the drawer just doesn't feel right. Too bouncy for me to use quickly. Ill probably go to pro launcher. But if I don't want to how do I customize the 4 apps at the bottom? Its driving me nuts

Uhh, help with lag, please.

So i'll keep this simple. My captivate is less than two months old and it's become VERY slow. I get lag of at least five seconds every few minutes. Frankly it's starting to piss me off; I know this is a fast phone. I have the J16 froyo ROM. Could it be my ROM? What do you guys recommend as a rom? My iphone 3GS was MUCH faster. (the lag on my captivate ia usually from typing or pressing the touch sensitive buttons at the bottom. Tabs in apps sometimes as well.)

It could be a few different things. Easiest would probably be to just flash a rom like Phoenix 3.0 or Perception 10.1
I don't think its a rom issue. Just try to get rid of Widgets, live wallpaper(if u have one), and non-needed apps and see what happens.

If he is using just a leaked froyo rom. it probably has no lag fix. So installing a rom like i mentioned will give him the lagfix.
only widgets I have seen that make a lot of lag are ones that constantly use sensors, like compass widgets, etc.

I've used them all, and these really stand out!!
You can use the kernels that come with them or flash your own kernel and modem.
Thanks all for the replies. The only Widgets I run are the Task killer, and the power saver one to quickly enable wifi when in range, etc. No live wallpaper.
I don't have any hard evidence, but my experience is that having alot of apps slows down the phone. For me, when i have more than 10 or so apps, the phone begins to get bogged down. 15+ it becomes very noticable. 20+ i flash a new rom haha.
It was the rom. Im now running phoenix 3.0 and I now get H! Thanks man!

I have like 45+ user apps on my phone. And its still pretty snappy. I am attaching a screen shot taken from "Smartbench 2010".
