my G1 was unusable when it was rooted running gingerbread, eclair, sense, even froyo... constant lag and freezes even though I had apps2sd. I never tried a rooted donut rom yet, are they more stable?
anyway for now I unrooted but I'm only on 1.5 using the guide in the forums, but he says there's a problem with the 1.6 update ota file he supplied, so I tried googling it and every link I click on it either says 404 error or download unsucessful... anybody know what is going on? does anyone have a working link? I've tried like 10 different ones

Did you try these?

As far as I know, you have to apply cupcake, then go apply the other OTAs to get to a donut rom. I haven't ever seen a stock donut full rom.
Have you tried a rooted stock donut rom?

I have a rooted donut 1.6 rom on my phone right now. I don't really use it, so I can't say how stable it is. My poor G1 is just used for flashing and testing. I did have to pull the battery because I pushed SetCPU down to 19 Mhz. Otherwise, I would think it is decently stable. You might also look into CM4 or CM5.

okay im sure you guys saw that 1.6 is being pushed to all tmobile g1s in the next few days (i saw it on engadget.com) my question is im rooted with cyan 4.0.4 i think. (the latest stable) and i think i want to update to that so i can have the new market. will i be able to get the update and will i be able to still use overclock widget. thanks guys!!!
umm there are already 1.6 based roms in the dev section... i would look there, i am about to give akirah's build a go.
if you flash an official update to your phone then you will lose root.
If you flash any official ROM and try to run an app that requires root it won't work as intended (the app).
How's the ROM you mention david? I was considering it myself, I've been using this current ROM for almost a day now. Need a change

i found it to be really fast (like damn fast) but i love a lot of the features in 4.1.11.1 like the lockscreen among other things. i think it is between a jf rom and a cm rom. not completely vanilla but not rocky road either its a good rom overall, but i love my features.
i still have my .zip file for cyans 4.1.11.1 if anyone needs it!..i like it..

Is that the 1.6 mod that Cyanogen created? If so I would like it if you can send to my email [email protected]
I tried to find it when I saw it on friend's phone, but when I went to the site they removed :\
ny friend got lucky and bought the phone from a person that had it on there.
HAHAHA Cyanogen ROMs are like crack now.
whatcha need, whatcha need?
Hey man, you got some cyanogen?
You ain't a cop are ya?
Nah man, I just need some Cyanogen.
ok cool, here ya go, be careful bro that sh*t's fast.
* looks over both shoulders.
* whispers "dude that phone had cyanogen on it when you bought it?!?! That sh*t's illegal bro!"
So just how stable is 4.999?
I want to root my phone to it, but I've read that a lot of people have been having issues with it..
I would get the 4.04, but does it come with the new 1.6 tmobile update?

I don't have any issues. An occasional forceclose/wait popup message and rarely a random reboot. Plus gps doesn't work too well with some map apps (especially Telenav) but I think that's app related and not to the rom. (Some apps need to be revised for 1.6.)
In any case as long as you have a recovery that allows you to do nandroid backups (you can use the RA-dream which is linked in my signature. It allows you to do switchrom so you can bookmark your current rom.)
So try 4.1.999 and if you don't like it, flash back and wait for a newer and more stable release.

No. 4.0.4 is Android 1.5.
i have been running 4.1.999 since it came out, about a week or so ago, and it can be a little slow at times, but a reboot will fix that (basically i reboot when i wake up in the morning, and it runs fine throughout the day for me). i think the reason mine slows down though is i have a 64mb linux-swap partition, and i have my swappiness set to 75.
overall though, i find it to be a great ROM, and no 4.0.4 is not based off of 1.6, it is 1.5.
oh cool, so 4.1.999 is based on 1.6 ?
and im kind of glad you guys say you dont have issues, because everytime I look here there is more issues :S

Flash it and try balancing it on a flat surface, you can tell how stable it is.
ok cool thnx
I dont use swap, just ext3, and Advanced Launcher, 4 App Limit Set, and mine runs smoothly....

hmmm, this is going to be my new stability test when i try out a hero rom.
can it survive without falling over during the initial boot up?

It's mostly just a personal preference, best advise I could give you is flash a couple and see what you like best

thanks for the quick response....honestly all i want is a ROM that is very similar to the official donut...but i need the app2sd....i dont need the problems like missing msm or rebooting for no reasons...can you suggest any ROM? Thanks again
This thread has a rooted version of the stock T-Mobile donut build, and if you install the added expansion pack, it includes apps2sd and other features like tether, you can read all about it or download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456

Best Eclair Rom in your opinion,
Cannon Complete or OpenEclair.
OpenEclair hands down lol.
I like Cannon ;D whoever gets video first wins, which will be open eclair probably though...
when is a poll not a poll
when its not a poll
@TheDeadWalk,
can you edit OP and set as a Poll ?
about to flash 1.2.2 OE
I tend to not keep OE roms for long, I have a look see and drop, King's ROMs are much better imo.. and since CaNNon's was King based....
I was on Complete Eclair until King's Hero Eclair ( which is very nice )
but as I said flashing OE 1.2.2 , but I do read it has lots of stability problems, and isn't all that fast..... we shall see.
for the moment with a choice between OE and CE its CE easy
having said that CE 1.2 had problems ( Wifi, FB Contacts ect ) but if you read the thread I got round them quite quickly

i tried making a poll but have no idea how lol
if youd let me know how its done ill make it happen.
personally, im using CE right now with SetCPU @ 528 and its
quite quick!
Muuuuuuuuuch better than the laggy xRom build i had before.
with xRom, SetCPU would slow it down even more for some reason!

same here, i havent tried openeclair yet, but i like what i see in cannon's so far, so i'm not going to really change until a major update like working video/youtube comes out
More importantly how do you remove Eclair?
I've put Cannon on my wifes and now I can't get rid of it!!
Cyanogen Nanfroid will not restore and you can't wipe and flash another rom as you get a bootloop.
Frustrated.

Did you wipe everything?
If so. Backup everything on the phone and then partition it again.
Just a safety measure
So im still on Cannons Eclair w/ SetCPU at Min:528 ; Max:528 and its running pretty smoothly.
hows everyone else running?
canon's eclair is pretty nice and smooth , i havent tried open eclair yet, but i think the next version will be promising and stable, also as i mentioned in another thread, canon and kings eclair seem to only have partially working led's as they tend to turn off when the screen is on for notifications, supposedly openeclair has fully working leds...not that that has anything to do with performance lol. but if you can mind the partial leds, canons is faster at the moment from what ive heard

Need to flash the Defanged DRC83, then without rebooting flash the CM Rom you are after, as per instructions here
I swear there was an identical thread just last week o_o' Cannon has firerat's patch for 3D and video but openeclair will probably take over in the next update xD
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!
