What is the most stable, quickest, best battery life rom/kernel combo for the G1?

Hi all. I'm wanting to do a custom rom/kernel on my girlfried's G1. What I want is something that she won't have to worry about with regards to stability. He also complains that her G1 is too slow. Sadly she's gotta wait until late summer to get a new phone. Overclocking options within the kernel would be nice, as I presume this would help with the speed of the phone.
So, what's the best that's out now? I did a bit of searching around but didn't find anything definitive. I flashed CM6 on there once before and it was a pain, so i'd rather be able to pick a rom and stick with it ;-).
Thanks in advance.

Id recommend CM4.2.15 but its no longer supported..but still gets the job done. Install defanged then 4:2:15 and don't foroget the ram hack. Sure..its only Donut but you said something about battery being important.

Will CM4 work with a 2708+ radio? My wife's G1 is running CM6 but it is just too sluggish for comfort.

Thanks, good tip. Though I see some post-flash hacking is necessary. I'm pretty handy in Linux but haven't gotten my hands dirty under the Android hood very much. Has anyone explained exactly what to do after flashing the new kernel to get everything connected up properly?

So, if I've already flashed CM4 and got it set up and running how would I go about flashing Super D if I decide to? I should of course do the necessary data/cache wipes but as far as flashing the rom, do I wipe, flash the defangled base, and then flash the Super D rom? If so I may do it as CM4 doesn't seem to be as quick as I had hoped... then again it's difficult to judge going from my Epic to my girlfriend's G1. I'll hve to ask her what she thinks.
Also, what kernel did you run with Super D? I'm still on the stock kernel with CM4 and if I flash another kernel, should I just wipe cache and install the kernel over whatever is on there now? I want to make sure it's essentially the same as flashing on my Epic befre I mess something up and have to do the entire process over again.
Thanks for all the help once again.

Fastest froyo is froyo for trout. Its customized to work well with the G1, like it was just an OTA for the g1, with root. Fastest froyo definitely.

Download Links Updated Everything works now lol I tested it on my Vibrant!

nice work. I'm curious.. forgive my ignorance but why is it that we can simply flash this through clockwork but cm7 and miui require an initial kernal before flashing the ROM?

My first thought as well.

dont quote me on this haha im not really sure but i think it has to do with the fact that cm7 is an official legit aosp rom while this has touchwiz? haha im not really sure.

is the gps working on this one?

I dunno about this, but afaik, the update script on CM7 is CwM 3.0 based, while ours and all the other ROMs are the older script.
So to run their script, you first have to ODIN the custom kernel with the new recovery and then flash the zips.
Here, the kernel is included in the main zip file and flashable normally...

Pre-Rooted
This is Android 2.3.3
Comes with 4 Lockscreens.
Comes with 4 apps; Spare Parts/SGS Tools/Titanium Backup/QuickBoot (is able to be deleted)
Link for further details/give thanks to him: http://edtdev.com/forum/topic/10-rom-official-i9000-233-gingerbread-3272011/
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Odin to stock JFD (DON'T SKIP THIS STEP!)
2. Place XXJVK_Vibrant_I9000_Port_NO_BLOATWARE.zip on your internal sdcard.
3. Boot into clockwork recovery
4. Select the zip file and flash
5. Once it is finished rebooting, wait 15 minutes before doing ANYTHING!
6. NOW REBOOT AGAIN!!! (JUST DO IT!)
7. Once you complete the setup process open the app Spare Parts (included) and set Activity/Process Management to NORMAL. This helps with the RAM issue.
8. Open Settings>Display>Animations and turn on either "some animations" or "all animations" to enable the TV shutoff animation.
9. If you want bloatware flash Bloatware.zip NOW via android screencast.
VOODOO INFO:
Supercurio's Voodoo hacked kernel is included. There are a few things to be aware of:
1. You can flash this from RFS or EXT4 (RFS seems to be the safest and most reliable)
2. Voodoo is enabled by default.
3. During the conversion process you will see the double rainbow. Don't freak out. It takes roughly 5 minutes to convert and the phone will eventually boot like normal.
4. You may or MAY NOT hear Linda's voice during the conversion. Again, do not freak out.
5. If you do hear Linda, she will most likely sound like a chipmunk. DON'T FREAK OUT!

[Q] Gingerbread with Sense

What happened to Rock Steady CM7 with Sense? The thread is closed and the download links don't work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003069
Is there any way to get CM7 for the Hero with Sense?
If not, there is Gingerbread with Sense. I found Sensible Gingerbread on the Wiki.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059481
When I flashed the ROM earlier it would not work, but I'll try again later.

Check out the Hero Development forum. There's a gingerbread ROM with sense 3.5 called Zero Hero. I don't even like sense on our Heros and i think its pretty sweet.

If the browser doesn't work download Opera or Dolphin. Will work just fine. We optimized that rom to run pretty damn good in these old heros. Just don't fill up the home screens and tons of apps or it will bog down.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try Dolphin since I've used it before and it was okay. I don't know why, but I prefer the original Browser.
EDIT: Oh and btw, WiFi was not working for me on Zero Hero Sense. Is there a way to fix that?

hey just an fyi we dont talk about rocksteady around here the guy who made the ports was bannanas to say the least matt knows what im talking about lol.

Oh ok sorry.
The Sensible Gingerbread says to flash FR-recovery. What is that? I currently have ROM Manager and the Clockwork Recovery. Whenever I try to flash Sensible Gingerbread with that, it reboots into recovery every time I try to reboot it.

firates is just a tool that partitions your sd card for better memory management theres a thread in development on how to set it up.

Is there something different that I need to do for Sensible Gingerbread than I do for most roms?
The original thread says
How to install(might be a waste of time)
wipe ALL, flash FR-recovery, wipe ALL, reboot recovery, flash ROM, reboot. It is also recommended that you have an s-off bootloader, since FR is a recovery modification. It installed fine for the testers, so YMMV. But be warned, bricks are your fault, not someone elses Also, the CPU frequencies are now 245xxx (needs to be fixed, keep reading) - 729xxx (careful, some phones can only handle 691xxx). You need an overclock method (setCPU, overclock widget) to change the frequencies to 264xxx - 691xxx.

Basebands Reviews

I made this thread so users who tested basebands to provide some useful reviews (battery backup, performance, bloatware, etc) for every user who want to know which baseband, new or old, has what he`s looking for or the baseband just came up and it`s new and he wants to know about it.

I tested MBM-XXLQI from Macedonia recently and all I have to say it brings nothing new about battery backup on the contrary it seems worse than DDULP8 from India or XXLQG-ITV from Italy, and in addition it has a lot more bloatware too.
I am going to test the new VSLPA from Argentina(moviestar) to see what it brings new as it has the latest build date and changelist, and I`ll provide a review in a day or two. You are free to do the same as we may have different opinions.

I am using VSLPA from Argentina from 1 day now and I have to say it provides the best battery backup till now, only 1% consumed over the night.
About performance, it`s pretty much like the other firmwares, tough i notice that lag is slightly reduced in this one or it may be placebo effect, don`t know yet.
Go try it yourself and report back to see if you have a different opinion from mine

I take my words back VSLPA is the best build by samsung for our device since they released Jb for us. I rooted, flashed cocore8.2, removed some bloats, instaled no-frills, set pegasusq+sio, powersave and I drained the battery till it shut down. After I let it charge full I powered it up and I couldnt believe my eyes how fast it was and still is, this build is LAG FREE, the dial pad opens in instant just like cyanogenmod. At first I tought that maybe it's just an one time event but not it still does that and is insanely fast, stable, smooth maybe then most of custom too (no offense to any dev). I know it is hard to believe but please try it for yourself and you'll be surprised.
I'll provide the list of bloats removed when I have time if it is of any use

This is as if you were explaining you saw a ghost.
Are you sure about this? Cause I heard similar things for previous FWs before, even though they all lagged like hell.
And 7 hours ago you were saying the opposite, how's that possible? What exactly fixed it, when it was the same when you first tried it?
Anyways I'm on GB now, got burned once and now I want to be sure if it's really lag free before I upgrade.

in sammobile, some of the firmwares are made for some particular carriers.Is it safe to flash that carrier basrd firmwires??

If your device is network free(meaning that another carrier sym is working) you can flash any firmware you want for our device with odin. Juat download it from samsung-updates, unrar it, put the tar file in pda section of odin and hi start.

First of all GB and JB are different in every aspect so you can`t compare one to the other. First time it was just after I flashed it then I did all the things I said ( root, flash cocore kernel, changed governors and I/O etc. ) and after that i used it till it shut down and then while it was turned off I let it full charge, after that i booted into recovery wiped cache and dalvik cache and reboot and that was all.
But you should never expect that JB to be like GB.
If you don`t like stock i suggest you to upgrade from gb to jb then flash CM 10.1 from Team Canjica or if you want stock based Roms try Harshjelly or SamiOS.
Before you do all the things read some guide about how to flash with odin, how to root jb shaan`s guide and some more if needed.
If you do some research before you should not have problems
Goodluck

Why would you want to downgrade? First read guide about Odin and then go and read Harshjelly thread first then flash his rom and from there on should be easier to learn about governors,I/O schedulers,kernel etc. After you think you have a good knowledge base and you`re still not happy with you`re android you can move on to CyanogenMod 10.1 of Team Canjica(19.10 nightly is the most stable version).

Thanks, but been there, done that. All I'm saying is that I doubt it's lag free, I did try various firmwares, kernels and stuff but 5 sec delay when opening apps and lag in games, videos, UI is so bad that it's unbearable. That's why I had to downgrade, which is a much complicated process which frankly I don't want to repeat. That's why I want to make sure the new firmware is lag and delay free before I upgrade again.
And I'm pretty sure JB isn't supposed to be that bad, despite the fact that S Advance isn't much of a phone.

In cyanogenmod you wont encounter any kind of lag. So you can flash VSLPA via odin then flash cwm temporary make a backup then root it play with it a day or two and see how it goes and if you dont like it restore from backup then flash cyanogendmod 10.1 and i guarantee that you wont encounter any kind of lag there.
And btw id you want to thank me for any help just hit Thanks button and I`ll know

[Q] Really getting lost with choosing a ROM

Hello,
I am really having trouble choosing a ROM.
There are so many..
I currently have TsunamiX 5.2.
Which is the newest with a very good battery life, less lags and bugs, Rom's out there?
Gaming and "high" performance are not important for me.
Thank you

Yes, I tried it, its based on CM11 if im not wrong. But as I said before, Im on Macay ICS CM9 since more than a month now, this means I found this Rom very very useful. Before I flashed every 2-3 days, sometimes even twice a day, I tried many many Roms but this is just Great. Smooth, Stable, Bugless, with longest batery life comparing with Roms before. You can give a try, and you'll see. Hope to like it (if you decide to try it)

Yes, I tried it, its based on CM11 if im not wrong. But as I said before, Im on Macay ICS CM9 since more than a month now, this means I found this Rom very very useful. Before I flashed every 2-3 days, sometimes even twice a day, I tried many many Roms but this is just Great. Smooth, Stable, Bugless, with longest batery life comparing with Roms before. You can give a try, and you'll see. Hope to like it (if you decide to try it)
Good luck.

Exactly.. It's not like I opned a thread in which I asked "What is the best rom out there?".
Roms come in many shapes and specifications..
Nothing wrong in getting advices from more expirienced users
BTW, It is kinda anti-Intuitive to go back to ICS.. Any missing features from JB or Kitkat? Or does it feel the same?

So there is no need for this forum I guess.. huh?
Can't I get an advice? Why should I try 100 different roms if someone can direct me? I would never thought on going back to ICS or trying this rom that Milot suggested.
Seriously, mind your own buisness please..

Some things are missing, but for example "doubletap to sleep" you can use an xposed module for that and works great, Center clock and battery styles, and many other tweaks you can use Xblast tools (xposed module). The only thing I cant find was "Clear all button" on recent app list, but you can swipe one by one...
Im really satisfied with this Rom, based on features of Galaxy S i9000, (for me at least) this was best so far.

Mod Edit
Whichever way you word it...
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.
