[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you will always get the best speed and stability out of donut roms, there are lots of good ones to chose from so take your pick there. if you want to stick with 1.6 then you still might consider the 2708+ updated radio/spl that allows for 14 more megabites of ram, you will definitely notice this! after the update just reflash your rom and a compatible kernel over it.

there nice 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 roms out there, plenty good enough for a daily driver but there are some lags compared to any good donut rom. if you want a taste try froyobylaszlo if you like it than there are lots more new roms that compare well to that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
2708+ updated radio/spl?

Usually I have about mid 20s-30 for memory free. Which seems decent for the most part, since everything else runs off the sd card. Only reason its lower since I use that compcache stuff.

As for the info, thanks, yea, figured donut is still better least for a every day use and general purpose.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Pls don't mix up RAM and internal memory. Internal memory is comparable to the hard disk of your PC, while RAM is memory which is used for executing programms.

The 2708/0013d combo will give you more RAM (112MB instead of 97MB), so most likely you can renounce on using compcache, but you will need an adapted kernel otherwise you will get bootloops.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Ah ok. Is enoms rom able to work with this new spl? Not even sure what would be the best way to do this.. Nandroid backup, flash new spl, and nandroid restore?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
always do a nandroid.

the method i would do is backup everything via titanium backup, back up any sms or my call log via sms backup +, then i would make sure i have all the requirements and then flash the updated radio and spl. after this i would flash whatever rom i choose (stick with your donut if youd like) then i would flash rom and a compatible kernel over it, reboot, restore and be happy. also i would make sure i have all the files i need ahead of time, this being amon_ra (may need it) radio, spl, orange.nbh (in case of emergency) my rom of choice, and kernel of choice (if needed)

this is the way i'd go about it, you can try any method youd like there are tons of threads about this update so i would recommend reading a few first :)

oh and even if it sounds complicated its well worth it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
I know, G1 was the 1st I ever did heh, now I do alot of em, The others I dont stress about as they arent my main everyday device.. I am just protective of my G1 lol.. My main device.

Does anyone know of enoms works on this new spl radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
hanvet used enoms with the new radio/spl but i have used other 1.6 roms with it so im sure this will be fine too. just make sure you flash the appropriate kernel over the rom. if you take a look at ezterry's thread on kernels or even on the 2708+ page you will find plenty to choose from
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Yes, it works. I've tried it just some minutes ago. Not sure if everything works, because I did only a quick check, but it's booting, you can log in browser is working, ...

The only thing you need to do is flashing a different kernel which supports the 2708 radio on top of the ROM. I flashed Terry's BiffTest Kernel but also the newer one should work.

If you like to get some more internal memory you could also use MTD-Partitions set to [67,2] which would give you a data partition size of almost 145MB :D

Btw.: I suppose I could not run such a ROM as my daily driver, it looks like it's already 10 years old ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acooll97:
Hah found better rom called supertinhte 2.2 rom. Based on T-Mobile myTouch 3G.

Very Very fast ,comes with 82.19 free internal space.I think it is faster than froyo by lazlo with ramhack. Type it in google cant post link cause i am new here
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brjoon1021:
I really like two super@tmel ROMs on my two G1s. I use them as my daily drivers.

I use SuperFroyo on one and I use SuperCDSIv4 (Donut) community edition (looks soooo much better than Mlign, etc...) on the other.

They are both great. I uninstalled virtually everything from SuperFroyo that I could. I can verify that you have no issue with deleting Talk, News and Weather for sure. Also, if you use another keyboard, you can delete the android keyboard. I did that on another installation. I delete stuff to have all apps internal.

SuperCSDIv4 is a little faster most of the time, but the niceties of Froyo are good too so I use and really like both. I recommend Lightning Launcher, then unistall ADW and LauncherPro if you go with Superfroyo. That launcher is hard to set up, but it is really light. Just go into themes and select "Zune" and try that. It is a cool theme and fast.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsjmichael:
I think 2.2 is more fit for G1. some apps can't work on 1.6 ROM
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
True but the fastest 2.2 is slower then the fastest 1.6, if all you need is speed then donut is the way to go. You can push some apks onto donut roms that aren't found in the market but if you need some apps and other things froyo offers then you may need to move up
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Apps for 2.2 arent really needed on the G1 screen, cept maybe those Authenticator apps. I have a diff android if I need those higher end apps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
I am a very proud G1 user too! :p

But I will suggest going too the CyanogenMod 5 Mod. With the proper tweaks, it reallly runs like a charm. Super E and Super F are also good ideas. Just google them up and look how to install them!!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
So are people still using the volume increase thing for their G1 as well? I rem using the script and so to tweak that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0 HaVoK 0v:
To be honest this GinSense rom is very fast and stable, its 2.3.7 using a cyanogenmod base.

There is that one problem with watching movies on it (were the sound keeps going but the video resets) but that's because its a problem with the cyanogenmod base, I know because every cyanogenmod rom I had, had this problem.

I would go to a 1.6 for speed, but then I would lose out on all the apps, and this is a quite snappy rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
So question, to flash that ram increase radio. I could do that and do a nandroid restore afterwords?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
No I'm pretty sure you would need to flash your rom again from scratch and then flash a compatible kernel over that
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Well I see the kernel in this thread I should be flashing, but I am very confused. Ok, my SD card has its apps installed to it, the rom auto uses it for storage. I dont know if I should just be relying on Titanium backup for a backup and restore or nandroid.

Im "open" to the idea of upgrading the rom if its speedy. I just dont wanna lose all the apps and work I had on this rom already. Just so confusing atm. Been a LONG time since I had to flash or work with the G1. (Never need to mess with something that works flawless) My other androids I flash the **** out of and update heh. My g1 is my baby, so always was careful. I wouldnt mind that extra ram tho if it really helps.

So what do you all think is the best way to secure keeping my stuff and easily update this?

Edit: Gonna be basing my study off this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

Just wondering how my apps 2 sd will be, since on Enom, I did this the old school way and not the apps2sd thing. Which makes me think Titanium backup is the best way to restore apps on to a new rom (without data or should I be able to backup with data and restore with data, so used to not restoring with data)

Edit 2: Ok is is possible to do this, based on that thread. I use nandroid to backup, then do the steps, restore using nandroid and before I boot into the phone, I flash that biff any kernel thing, THEN reboot into the phone. Would that work and not lose anything?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
its worth a try. to be safe save apps and data to sdcard with titanium. have ready a nandroid, rom of choice, and kernel if necessary. also download the orange.nbh in case something goes wrong. (only happened to me once in 40-50 g1s)

so back up all you need. go into fastboot and flash recovery (even if you already have it) then radio then spl. when done boot into recovery and try your nandroid + kernel. if you dont boot:

flash enoms 1.6 then kernel via recovery. log in and restore apps+data via recovery.

but if you have to reflash rom anyway i recommend trying a few newer ones, either froyobylaszlo is a good one to try out for 'new' and 'fast'
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
So basically, if I flash a new rom, I wouldnt need to do the kernel or so?

Questions I have about that. How do these new roms handle installing auto to the SD card. Since we know G1 internal memory sucks heh. Cause thats a big thing to me. Also I used to use LucidRems script to increase the volume. That still work or do new roms have a way for that on the G1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
depending on the rom for both accounts. if they have a2sd ability you just find it in the settings and hit yes. newer ones are a2ext, thats for an ext partition in your sdcard, definitely recommend that too.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

yes and newer roms will usually have a built in kernel that supports the 2708+ update so no need to flash a kernel over the rom. many you dont need to flash gapps either. just read the op on rom of choice and it should tell you how and what to do
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Yea my SD card is EXT3, Swap, and Fat32 partitioned. Like I said, old school ways lol. Back before compcache and we needed that swap partition. =)

So that should be ok for anything right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You should be fine, ext 4 is nice but not necessary. I like swap over compcache anyway but use what you find best.

If nandroid dosent work try out fbl, if your not happy with it go back to enoms

Good luck!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
swap could be better depending on the class of memory card. Yea im trying the hard long process of getting rid of apps Ill NEVER touch again. (I have about 130 apps installed since launch that I was following or interested in) Checking for apps that I may need its saved data on. (Otherwise a titanium backup app restore will be all I need with a new rom)

Then soon, gotta figure out if I stay with 1.6 or upgrade and gain the ability of new apps.. but then which rom is ideal.. thats the trick. CM7 could be a good focus.. since it seems standard now. Long as I can still wake my phone by hitting menu 2 times, Ill be happy.

Gonna try to update the SPL and so. Which might be why. (I am not 100% sure tho, just gonna see what I can do)

Edit 2: For reference to anyone else. What you need is in the link above. Use the recovery to flash the zip file to update the spl. Then continue with the 2708 process to update the radio and the 13d.img file.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Holy Smokes Batman! There is something you all shouldve mentioned to me about this. I just got it all done. I am using this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811620 (The MTG3-Test3)

However.. I noticed something on Mobile network type. Im no longer running in UTMS mode.. (Which was the 3G mode) Im running in HSDPA mode! (Which is TMOs "4G" network) Now Upgrading a G1 to be running in 4G (or even faster 3G lets say...) was worth doing this alone. I will be writing up my steps for future people looking at this same question once I confirm how stable and fast it is.

Also anyone know how I can confirm the extra ram? Just wondering. =) So far tho. Woot and no brick! =D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Check under applications > running

Yes that's a good one, there are lots to try. I suggest try a few before you settle on one rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Ok, only 1 thing so far, not sure where this gets set this time on this rom.. How do I get it to auto use the sd card ext3 partition for installing the apps? Seems its trying to use the internal mem.

Edit: I guess this is part of the "parts" zip file that I didnt do, gonna see about doing that now then.

Also only other issue with could be the rom. Is on boot up. Sometimes it reboots. Tho if I leave it alone for a few mins, it doesnt.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Morning. =) Ok in that applications. What should it be reading for the memory? I have Other: 29 MB in 3, Avail: 10MB + 13 in 1

Also the "parts" did the thing. Loaded up Froyo parts and was able to link it all to sd-ext. Even did dav cache this time. (Long ago I didnt) Still not sure if I should be running the cache on the sd or not tho. Long ago, I think it was suggested not to?

My Internal Storage is at 89MB which is quite nice I think. (Have 230 apps installed to sd)

Now Taskiller still shows between 25-35mb available memory. So yea, some comparison notes to know if I really did gain some ram or not would be cool. =)

So far things are smooth with this rom. Aside from the "after boot/reboot" it loads then goes to reboot itself again. Not sure why, but it does seem minor.

Oh one bonus I should note. Since the orig way I did my sd-ext stuff wasnt with apps2sd or so, just a symlink script etc. Seems when I did this whole process, nothing wiped my ext3 partition. Sooooooo after I loaded Froyo parts and told it to link to sd. Rebooted. After a long time of booting. It came back up. Next I see all but 8 of my apps were back. I didnt even have to reinstall them lol. So used titanium backup to restore the last 8 apps that were missing. So far so good. So that saved ALOT of time right there and doesnt seem to have any bad effects using the data from 1.6 like that for the apps and data. (Note: Not system data)

Edit: Ugh.. my LED notification isnt working.. The diff colors. Also been playing around with some memory stuff. Like disabling the on screen keyboard. That alone saves 4 MB worth. I am wondering if MT3G is better or if the CM6 is better.. I didnt need too fancy, just snappy, so that was the only reason I didnt go CM for the G1 atm.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
So, just ordered an 8 GB class 10, This 4GB class 6 works fine with app, data and cache on it, only a couple slowdowns at random. Otherwise so far its stable. I can only imagine how it will be with a class 10. =D

So question.. Are we all still using EXT3 instead of 4? (since last I checked ext4 wasnt "wise" for sd cards life due to the extra journaling writes)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
ext3 and ext4 both have journaling. If you want to go without any journaling you should use ext2 ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Yea thats what I dont get.. but then why is it said that ext4 journal and writes more then ext3? I know ext4 is faster tho.

I wonder if mtg3 works with ext4..

Also will NEVER go with EXT2 again. Did that on my G1 during the JF rom years.. if your phone crashed.. alot of times youd have to reflash or format to get it back up since it messed up data on the ext part.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Even when crashing, a e2fsck should help to solve problems, because normally files are written to a new parts of the disk and only after writing the new file is succsessfully finished, the entry within the directory is changed. Only when there are many changes within the same directory node, there are chances to lose data. As long as you do not move /data to ext there shouldn't be any problems using ext2.

Btw.: with ext4 you have the possibility to turn off journaling, i.e. it behaves similar to ext2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252028)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
I do store data on my ext heh. Also its still more of a hassle, also journaling isnt that bad. As for Ext4 without journaling.. is that even wise. Id think it would make it be the same issue EXT2 had.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
journaling on ssd / sd-card has the big disadvantage, that it writes many many little pices of information (the journal). For writing SSD needs to erase and flash always a much bigger amount of blocks -> you need to write much information for a very little change.

Secondly blocks are guaranteed to be overwritten only by 1000-10000 times, after that there is a big chance that this block is no longer usable.

On that basis you should decide whether to use ext3/ext4 for flash memory.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Well thats why I think EXT3 was better, had journaling, but not as much as ext4 writes. (Correct me if I am wrong) Also if I remember right, the higher class SD cards didnt get as much wear and tear as lower ones did and could survive abit better too? Was some convo on xda about this awhile back, so my memory may be wrong)

So you will void the warranty instead... so if you really break it, you don't have no repair option at all.

I guess if everyone is having this same issue, it must be a design flaw. I doubt I will correct it by changing the sensor. The screen is supposed to come back on when you remove the phone from your face, unless that's a software bug in sense.
