The watch in Higher Quality option is still there.

You have to be connected to 3G or Wifi.

While watching a video connected to 3G or Wifi click More and it will give you the option to watch in Normal Quality meaning your watching in High Quality!:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cigar3tte:
Hmm, my connection was showing "H", I thought that is 3G for an HTC build. I'll test Wifi.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
What else would people like to see in my chart?

Would it be beneficial to also have the official builds listed as well?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] parmijo11:

A very good start. Makes them easier to compare.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lieu10ant:
Yes! that's what was missing, if you put the official t-mobile build and others, we can see what these builds have that the others don't and vice versa. Thanks, this is a great chart!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] funbacon:
1. All 1.5 builds can use PDF by adding some files

2. All 1.5 builds can use T9 by adding some files

You've just review original feature on these builds, not compare source and code in each build.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
There are many modifications that can be made to any build.

This chart shows the base build contents.

I'm not sure of an easy way to show what can be added!

Any suggestions welcome?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] haitiankid4lyf:
Seeing as though all builds have bluetooth i would think labeling it A2DP would be more accurate.

Some Builds have Terminal Emulator and some don't

Some builds automatically format /data

HQ Youtube is available on rc33 and JF 1.5 on wifi and most likely other builds

Haykuro's builds that are based on HTC have enhanced settings

Hi! It would be great to have some benchmark info in the chart on the first page.

I've heard that the latest Haykuro build is 2x faster than official 1.5 cupcake for US G1.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
This is very hard to quantify.

Unless we have some benchmarking software that will run consistently accross all the versions, the only source is user feedback.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
I dont have experience with all the ROMs but I was using JF1.5 ADP before I upgraded to JF1.51 US OTA version. The multitouch was working great in that, but its only for the browser.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legaleye2005:
Between JF's and Haykuro 6.0, it says camera on Haykuro's is "enhanced' and so is the video recorder, and there are some remarks about the virtual keyboard, apps2sd, and messaging says "slightly modified". Can someone explain those? Also, can I get aim and pdfviewer on JF even though it says no?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legaleye2005:
I'm wanting to install JF 1.51, but there are a few different links on his site like ADP, and US. Also, I heard about updating the radio first. Do I have to do that too? Is there somewhere that has instructions on updating to JF's build? I just rooted for the first time. Waiting to load custom image...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seeds:
the messaging is modified because it has 3 different ways to text. one is a keyboard with bigger buttons. the other is a blackberry style. and the 3rd is t9. all have predictive text too. the camera has zoom on it.

heres a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfotgNz1WHw
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legaleye2005:
Before I install JF's 1.51, do I need to update my radio or do anything else? Already rooted, just waiting to put a custom rom on. Sorry for the noobness.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mlevin:
I see in the comparison chart (the one at http://www.simonwalkerphotos.com/android/Android_Build_Information.html, not the image posted at the top of the thread) that JF 1.51 ADP and US both are listed as supporting apps2sd as "unionfs" whereas some other builds are listed as supporting symlinks.

I used to have JF's RC33 and I had apps2sd via symlink. I recently upgraded to JF 1.51 ADP and would like to move to JF 1.51 US now that it is out.

I left my apps on the sd using the symlink method when I moved from RC33 to 1.51.

Can someone explain or point me to a tutorial on how to do apps2sd with the unionfs method rather than the symlink method? Is one method preferred? Why? How can I switch methods?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
The US version is based on the official TMobile UK update.

The UK version is based on the official TMobile US update.

The ADP is based on the goolde Developer Phone branch and doesn't have the TMobile customizations.

If you are in the US and this your first experiment with rooting, I would recommend the US version.

As for instructions, there are many guides out there you can follow.

But the basics are:

** Always remember, this will wipe your phone so you'll loose all your seetings. Your SD card does not get wiped.

Copy new image to your SD card and rename it update.zip

Power on using Home + Power key (hold until after G1 Logo).

Open Phone

Press Alt-L for instructions.

Press Alt-W to wipe your phone first. (safest and most realiable way to do it)

Press Alt-S to flash the new image.

When its finished, follow the screen prompts.

These are very basic instructions.

More detailed are available by searching.

Hope this helps you out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
It's a good idea to upgrade your radio first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legaleye2005:
Did everything! Thanks! Just 2 more questions: How can I have JF's ROM with Exchange support, pdfviewer, and enhanced camera from Haykuro's rom? And how do I get that keyboard with the bigger keys (is there a free way?)?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legaleye2005:
Forget my last post: My last question is: If I want to switch custom roms (from JF to Haykuro for example), do I have to do a wipe and then everything gets erased? Is there anyway to not do that? Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
You can always try to do conversions without wiping, but most of the developers will recommend that you wipe first to ensure that the new ROM works as expected.

Some do allow for upgrades without wiping.

It's best to check the threads for each particular ROM to find the specific answers.

Hope this helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thecolorifix:
Haykuro 6.0r1 has A2DP

I guess "original phone" doesn't relly apply, but it says "Magic" in "About Phone"

The only think I can't get working is the user dictionary, which is quite annoying cause it won't change "im" to "I'm" automatically which means quite a few more keypresses.

But I don't wanna lose the HTC dialer, the vibration when a call connects, vibrate being the lowest setting when you hold the volume button down (as opposed to silent) and the many other enhancements I've spotted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jamesbui12:

Request for repository of specialized apks, odexs, etc

This chart is very useful! Thanks for creating it! I was wondering if this thread could also be used to host specialized apks, odexs, and other files that can be installed on the G1 after a particular build has been selected and installed. Also some explanation of how to install them.

I'm thinking of something like:

Build JS1.5 US located aaaabbbb (i know that you've already done this)

Supported/compatible files

HTC_IME located at xxxxyyyy

Save the file on the root of your SD card

Open terminal emulator

type in the following commands EXACTLY!

etc.

Launcher located at yyyyzzz

Save the file on your computer in the same location as adb

type in the following commands

adb push xxxyyyyzzz

etc.

As you said, the G1 can support many customizations and I doubt that any two people on this board have their G1's customized the same way. It would be nice if those customization files could be located in one place with a note about which custom file is compatible with each build.

If this can't be done, is a stupid idea, or otherwise too much work, please feel free to ignore this message. There's a reason why I'm a "junior" member!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
You are correct.

I think the only parts that I missed are the IMs supported!

If you see anything else, please let me know.

I'll update the chart when I get home from work.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vettejock99:
Simon, this is a great table - thank you for putting this together. I do think there is another thing that should be captured - the ability to connect to data (browse, etc.) while on a call. I know most if not all of Haykuro's 5.0H and 1.5 ROMs support it, but I don't believe any of the others do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:
Sorry, i dont have time to make this type of dynamic site. Maybe in a future version. Nice thought though.

Personal view of different builds.

If you dont know which build to install read ahead, else don't waste your time.

I will try to tell the differences i see in different builds, hope it helps someone choose the right one.

*Haykuro's: Innovative, newest and never seen before builds, releases of shiny new features before anyone else, some bugs is the price of owning the very last of the last. Very famous builds.

*JF's: Conservative based on reliability and stability, updated in the right times, very stable and correct speed. I think its the most famous and it have lots of 3rd party themes for it.

*The dude's: I did not tried this one, but i heard its full of stuff and is the nicest and coolest build, but at the cost of being slower than JF.

*cyanogen's (Based on JF so its very reliable, added optimizations and some innovations targeting speed, some nice stuff who doesn't slow down the phone like PDF reader and teeter)

Personaly i love cyanogen's build, but there is different tastes for everyone here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SimonNWalker:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kingdruid:
With all these releases its kinda confusing on which one to update to. Plus with some of these builds bricking phones it makes it even harder. I remember when I updated my phone to get root there was just one that everyone was getting and now you have like 22 different version you can try. I think it would be better if we just had 1 instead of multiple that may brick your phone.

Compared to what Jesusfreak used to release before. Which version should a user download if they just wanted root and the default firmware without the risk of being bricked?

On your release list. Can you add a Risk of brick column? So people know that it has caused some bricks.

First, I love the database. I check it regularly.

I am running the JACMan1.62 Hero build, and I noticed a few inaccurate attributes about it in the database.

1. My free memory after flashing, w/wipe was 14MB.

2. Paid apps are working from the market

3. Kernel version is 2.6.29-daproy-haykuro dan@Sunnyvale )

4. Wifi does work

5. It does have multi-touch in the browser

6. The standard home launcher is themed

7. There are 7 home screens

8. It also include AppsToSD v1 apk

9. I think that all Hero builds browser should get an Enhanced designation. Especially this one with multi-touch included.
