What is the difference between them. Please let me know.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I wanted to ask some questions. Sorry for making a new thread for this but I didn't know how to draw some attention
First of all, I'm currently running JFv1.42 RC33 on a US G1. Now on with the questions:
1) Wiping the phone: what data is actually lost in this process? Will the new build run smoother with a wipe prior to flashing?
2) Can anyone tell me which locales are actually in the latest JF builds (1.51 US and EU)? I'm interested in the Italian locale, but from what I've read seems it can't be found anywhere...
3) Has anyone tried APPS2SD v2 with the 1.51 build? Any issues?
4) Can I flash my G1 with any of the latest builds or is there some kind of 'regional' constraint (my phone is US)?
5) Will I find the apps I already installed after flashing to the new build or will I need to download them again?
Thanks in advance for your time guys, hope to hear from you soon

yes most builds will run faster after a flash, it gets rid of everything on the phone.. kinda like the opposite of installing new os... you just erase everything and make the OS new again. When you update builds from the same person you can just flash.. if going to different build you must wipe. The first time you update and root and all that jazz i would DEF wipe.. ( i treat it like going potty, i wipe everytime!!)
2) Can anyone tell me which locales are actually in the latest JF builds (1.51 US and EU)? I'm interested in the Italian locale, but from what I've read seems it can't be found anywhere...
I cant be too sure but all the latest roms have a poop ton of locales.. is that there for fact i dont know...
3) Has anyone tried APPS2SD v2 with the 1.51 build? Any issues?
I heard that if you have atleast a class 6 card you will have more benifit than problems.. i have class 4 now so my experience is limited to just reading..
4) Can I flash my G1 with any of the latest builds or is there some kind of 'regional' constraint (my phone is US)?
Well if you research the procedure on how to root/flash a g1, you will see that there is a hardspl that needs to be updated so you can infact REMOVE these contraints that DO exist.. so you dont ACCIDENTALLY flash the wrong thing.. now with this on your phone.. you can flash ANY rom from ANY area and it SHOULD work...
5) Will I find the apps I already installed after flashing to the new build or will I need to download them again?
if you update.. then it should be there.. if you wipe then no... go back to question 1 to see when or not to wipe...
Thanks in advance for your time guys, hope to hear from you soon

Hi this is probably a really stupid question but I am new and don't really know what I'm doing lol. I was wondering if there was an easy way to upgrade my sprint hero to 2.2. Google offers the official stock android but I don't know how to install it and I can't figure out the search here. Can someone lead me in the right direction? Maybe link to the right thread? Thanks for the help

Here is a good place to start for general questions and answers:

One thing is for sure your going to have to root your phone before you can do anything so here's the rooting guide for 2.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
The official source code for 2.2 doesn't just install on our phone everything has to be packaged in a rom and if its not supported by htc we have to do it ourselves so if you look around in the forums you'll find a lot of good 2.1 custom roms and darchstar built a 2.2 froyo build from the ground up. Good luck.
What is darchstar's 2.2 rom called
Just wanted to double check, newbie here but willing to learn. You have to get to your phone into a root statues, at which point your going to flash a new rom onto it with either 2.1 or 2.2?

that is correct
its not too hard once you finally get set-up
i suggest trying out a basic rom without all the bells and whistles first
then once you realize you can load a rom and you mess with it for a bit, try flashing a new kernal, try using overclock, try out a new launcher even *adw or helix.....*, then if you're still feeling good you can try jit
by then you should understand a bit more.
So I got my phone last December and within a month, had it rooted - mainly to get rid of bloatware. I was using Cognition ROM at first, but then a guy at an ATT authorized retailer showed me a different rom that unlocked HSPA. The ROM that he gave me, which I later installed using ROM manager has the filename: KILLER23D+XXJPUDoc_V4.0_wipe. Has there been an update to this ROM? I love everything about it and am also wondering if there are any ROMs that are any better than this? I'm still pretty new at using the xda website and forums...
I like to tinker around, but am still afraid of bricking my phone. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys for all the hard work you all do.
p.s. I noticed my phone now thinks it is the Galaxy S GT-I9000... so would I download new ROMs for that phone or the Captivate?
Killer23d's out off date. it hasn't been updated since 11th December 2010. Their are many great 2.2 and 2.3 roms in the development section. Take a look around , you should be able to find one that is to your pleasing. Read the authors instructions and be sure you understand them before you flash anything
Be sure to read the Stickies they tell you about installing rom and other good stuff that you should know. And search around if you have any questions before you post, cause it might have been already answered.
And if you have a captivate you download captivate roms
good luck
I guess I really want to know which ROM is most like official 2.2 or 2.3? I definitely want to make sure I can still install unknown apps, and have the stock alarm clock on the phone because I use the alarm all the time and I don't want to have to download another one from the market. Do you have any preferences on ROMs that would do all this?
I also am a little confused on the ODIN stuff. Since I'm already rooted and using ROM Manager to flash ROMs, do I always need to flash ODIN before installing a new ROM? I read on here somewhere that the author metioned something about that, but how it was worded was a little confusing
I don't refer roms to people it is all personal choice. All roms can install off market apps
for roms in general* http:////forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
*2.3 roms need gb bootloaders
hello every one iam just got my S I9000 ( not plus ) i want links for tutorials about how to root my phone and get the newest baseband and i want link for the best kernel and rom ( best rom in graphics/speed/games )
thanks in advance
First of all, there's no such thing as the best rom - it's like trying to compare apple and oranges and saying one's better than the other. I usually recommend people to start with stock-based roms (so no AOKP or cyanogen mods) simply because it's closer to the stock rom and usually to flash.
As for rooting your phone, if you are already planning to flash a new rom, there's not much point in rooting it now. All custom roms are rooted. If still want to learn to root (which might actually be a good starting point), you need to tell us what firmware you are currently on.
thx for replay and my firmware 2.2.1
and my baseband t959uvka7

thats not an i9000 thats a tmobile vibrant...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm goood
Trying to flash a I9000 rom on a Vibrant will most likely brick the thing. Better to start looking in the Vibrant section instead. Good thing Paul spotted it.
his mob is tegra ?? he have the same mob like mine and i dunno where's my section !!! should i just search for any vibrant t-mobile section ??
