The rogers roms are very fast and stable G1 ROM's.... and they have FULL exchange support built in - syncs calendar/email/contacts via exchange... The hero roms do as well but that won't be your cup of tea.

Get Ravenges Rogers ROM -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=524074

I use exchange extensively with hero and rogers roms and it works really, really well. You have a lot of control over it and functionality is spot on.

Get the Rogers ROM as it's basically made for G1 hardware, so everything works and it's fast and responsive. T-Mobile is the reason for such crappy exchange support - as HTC based ROMs have been supporting it fully for quite some time now.

p.s. - Google Voice on this phone is BAD ASS. I love the toggle icon as well, i can turn google voice on with 1 press, make a call via my GV phone #, then turn it back off and be back on my regular cell instantly... LOVE IT.

Well, I've been using JACHero since 2.6.0 and it hasn't been bad. Rosie is a little unresponsive, but once JACHero came out with 2.7 and added Launcher back in, I just switched to JACHero 2.72 Full w/ Launcher instead of TouchFLO. It's definatly faster and I do have my Exchange support which is good. It also now syncs my contacts from the Exchange server which is nice too. I dunno, on one hand you have Apple's death grip over the phone and it's OS and on the other hand you have Google with it's hand in every one of your pockets. Which is a bigger burden? The company that locks you into how they do things, or the company that lets you do what you want, but wants to know everything about it.

Apple's appstore just hit 1yr old. I know the Android market isn't quite that old yet, so we have some things to wait for. Everything is just kinda buggy. I dunno. It's really just a waiting game really to see how great Android can possibly be. Here's another part of my decision that I didn't mention. When I got the G1, I still had 6 months left till my official upgrade. I ended up shelling out $350 for the phone. I still have my iPhone 3g and could probably sell it to cover this cost without a problem on eBAY. Knowing this, would you return the phone now and get back the $350, stay with the iPhone until I have the upgrade, and then picking up the G1 (or maybe another android) in Feb when it would only cost me $99? Decisions, decisions.....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesh420:
I haven't looked at the Rogers ROM due to such an old build date (LOL, it's only a couple of weeks I know). But, as I've turned off everything that makes the Hero rom, Hero, I don't think it would hurt to switch. The only thing that I see would change is no flash support, which is mostly broken anyway (well, maybe not broken, just not as useful as everyone thought).

If I was to try out that Rodgers rom, would I just need to wipe and reflash as I'm coming from JACHero 2.7.2? I've already got my SD card all partitioned up with fat32, ext3, linux-swap.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] responderman:
How well does flash support in the browsers on these roms work? as I understand it, not all browsers in these roms include flash support. In WM 6.0 we were kind of spoilt, as we had a browser called skyfire. It was very good at flash playing and rendered the page as on a desktop pc with a zoom option.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesh420:
Well, you can see flash animations on ign.com, but on sites like youtube and hulu, don't even count on anything loading (I know there's a huge difference in the Flash content, but just an example). I've used skyfire on my Shadow (phone I had before the iPhone) and it was pretty good back in it's initial alpha/beta stages. The browsers just work. And, as it's built off of Webkit, I'm pretty familar with it (same browser backbone as the iPhone). So, in other words, flash is there, just don't count on it working on everything
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] responderman:
So is there a stand alone YouTube player for this OS then? I kind of remembering seeing there is? if so is it any good? Funny you saying about the Alpha, Beta of skyfire, coz I thought the beta was better than the latest release.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr24:
If Hero is running good for you, then stick with it. Rogers is like Hero without the Widgets, Flash, Gallery, etc... it has the HTC (Hero) Dialer and Exchange and for the most part is like a cupcake build. If I'm not on Hero, I definitely prefer it.

As for wiping, I would say you probably have to wipe and format the ext3 partition, which is easy. But you'll have to reload all your apps.

Right now I'm on JACHero 2.7.3 and it's running really well for me, very responsive, but I was on Rogers for 2 months before that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr24:
I never really liked Skyfire too much. It was just OK. I prefer the G1 web browsing, especially with the HTC Browser (Hero/Rogers) and multi-touch.

The flash is overrated, nothing special. It'll load things like flash banners and minor flash pieces just fine. Don't expect to stream flash video, games, or full blown flash websites.

Stand alone youtube player works great.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnitpud:
I have the Iphone 2G and the G1...For awhile i would switch back and forth...missing the last phone for a few hours then enjoying whichever i was using. The Iphone on TMobile service sucked as a phone but was quite the entertaining piece...the G1 lacks in 3D graphics and games but was excellent as a phone/web browser. If you find your self not minding the lack of service as a phone on the Iphone i would say wait and see what the next Android device is. Although from what i read it won't have a physical keyboard...but if you are enjoying the the iphone's VK then you shouldn;t mind not having the physical keyboard.

It all comes down to how well it works as a phone for me...I use the exchange sync but never sync my contacts...I have been a gmail user since the original beta in 2003, so i never had a problem with syncing contacts to the G1 but with the Iphone. I had to export from gmail to Outlook, then export to Itunes and sync to the Iphone.

I would say if you are happy with the Iphone on Tmobile's network return the G1 and get that $350...that's a lot to spend on it. Wait for the next greatest Android device.(MyTouch has double the storage but everything else is basically the same) I would save up some money then sell the Iphone on ebay and buy the unlocked Hero device when it comes out. Android is still an infant but is growing up very fast. Just think about 2-3 months ago we only had a few ROMs to choose from...now we have more then i care to count at the moment =)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] responderman:
I have always been a fan of cooked roms and cooking roms, but what is bad about the stock G1 rom? I could give a list of bad points that put me off the stock rom in WM5 so what is it on google? I did a search and saw that speed was an issue. or is it just buggy?

Jay
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesh420:
No exchange, no flash, no multi-touch by default. The rom itself is pretty fast, and the looks and feel aren't bad at all. Just a preference thing. But, just like in Apple world, as new updates come out to the main firmware, new features are added and old bugs fixed. I think that goes for any phone though.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmc127:
I had an iphone on att before (and my wife currently is using it on tmobile) and wanted to put in my two cents.

iPhone Pros:

Iphones games are just as good as a psp, and pretty cheap from the itunes store and there are TONS of them.

Apps crash way less

GPhone Pros:

Alerts - iphone is still not up to par with this, any g1 app can alert you to new emails, etc

Util apps - out of the box the apps on the g1 can affect things like power, wifi, and even more system settings. This lets you have a much better range of util apps

If you plan to root/jailbreak your iphone/gphone:

iphone - Adds the above GPhone pros but slows down the phone a lot, it just wasnt ment to handle it

gphone - run linux easily -- way fun!

Thats what sums it up in just a few lines!

kmc127
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chesh420:
One thing that I can say is getting awfully annoying on the G1 is my mail. When I read mail on my G1, it doesn't correctly update my account with which emails are read and which ones are still new. So, I have to login to the account and check them as read in order for them to stop saying they're new. Kind of a pain, but liveable.

On the iPhone on the other hand, you read an email, whether it be Yahoo, Exchange, Hotmail, etc., it updates to the online mail system. The G1 tries to do the update, but most of the time, it misses at least half of the emails.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr24:
In other words, if you want games- go with an iPhone. If you want a phone for communication purposes (and still lots of cool games) go with a G1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah the iPhone did have some pretty kickass games, that's what I miss most. What good games are there for android? I've just got Buka, Bonsai Blast and Abduction, don't really like Cestos or Mystique.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnitpud:
The Stock OS on the G1 is not bad at all...its decent speed and is much better then Winmo. But getting to use all the newest ROMs and features, it makes the Stock OS feel like its lacking. Using the Newest ROMs and apps reminds me of running Touchflo on the TMobile Wing. It didnt have the ram or CPU to handle it, so it lagged a lot. The same is happening with the G1 now, but the G1's CPU can handle it fine...there just isn't enough ram.

I always want to use the latest and greatest but don't want to deal with the lag. Hopefully HTC tweaks the Sense/TouchFlo UI and gets it to use less memory. Cause the lag is the only reason why i am using Cyanogen or JF's 1.5s.

Hero's Facebook\Twitter and Exchange intergration is a big reason i want to use JacHero's ROM! Although the Iphone's Facebook app is better then anything on the G1! But i can't deal with my phone ringing 5 times before i even see a notification for a call. Most calls went to voicemail before i could answer it. I had the linux-swap partition and followed the Cleanup Hero thread but it sometimes would still take 3-5 rings before i could answer it. Every time i hit back the screen would black out for 5 - 10 seconds. Thats why i say wait for Hero, sell the iphone and buy that device...it has 512mb or storage and 288mb of ram! Hopefully the Hero ROM won't lag on those specs!

Thanks damnitpud,

Nice write up that, it has made things much clearer. I think I will use the G1 stock for a few months first before starting to flash new roms on it, or there will be no base for me to compare with. maybe get root and install one of the modified stock roms then move on. I suspect it is going to take some getting used to after winmo for so long:rolleyes:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damnitpud:
As someone who came from Winmo6.1, Android was very easy to jump into. The Iphone on the other hand took a long time to get used to. I hated that all settings were in one spot. I would rather open a program then hit menu to get its settings! The learning curve for the Iphone was much bigger then the G1.

As for not rooting or flashing a ROM...i would suggest using either JF1.51, Cyanogen's or an ION ROM. The Hero has some nice features but is very slow. If you go back to a faster ROM you start missing the features in Hero. I like Hero because it reminded me of WinMo6.1 with TouchFlo, when i first got the G1 last October I was impressed with the speed, but wasn't to big on the looks. I was hoping someone would of ported WinMo to the G1 hardware. It has nice specs for 6.1. But now i am 99% content with Android and know they will release the features i miss soon. I just hope it doesn't lag the phone! =)
[Touch HD General] Hereticus:
Is it possible to clear only missed calls?

I only find option to clear all logs

In "call history" should be present specific icons to select Missid-outgoing-incoming. Almost any phone has this option (menu filter is a slow and boring way).

Better if could be possible to set a specific call log as "first option"...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the xperia x1, and I'm a little lost. I read a lot about the rom development and I've seen soooo many people using the 6.5 roms, and the 6.1 roms. I'm not sure which to use... Regardless, I thought I'd ask you guys some questions:

1) what is the best 6.1 rom, for european (vodafone). I don't want the vodafone rom, but I would like to know what's a more "oem" 6.1 rom that's been customized. I'd like the panels and such, until I get bored of them. I do need good battery life, that's for sure. Can anyone recommend a good 6.1 rom?

2) 6.5, OK, I know it's a lot better. But one error i've seen is that the alarm clock doesn't work in a lot of devices. Does it work in ALL the xperia 6.5 roms? Could anyone recommend a good, battery strong, not too flashy with panels (since i'd like to use the panels and then also use the touch flo 3d) ROM to use? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks a bunch guys :)

I flashed my touch with the Sprint ROM on the HTC site. It updated the radio version to 3.42. I then flash the phone again to NFS V12. Now I try to enter the SPC code to change the PRL. I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE, stating the SPC is incorrect... What happened? Does the change of radio also mess with the SPC?

The Sprint update (probably the customizations) can change the SPC.

@bullwhacker,

The SPC is not needed to unlock the device. The SPC or MSL is a number that you use to access the phone's programming (changing PRL, MIN, MSD, etc). If your device came with Mighty on it, it is unlocked as no custom roms can be flashed if it isn't.

I was in germany for a few days recently and we went in someone elses old ford transit van. I plugged my phone into its cigarette lighter socket with my usual car charger. The blue light came on on the charger (it's actually a motorola charger but always works in my own car) and eventually the phone switched off.

I couldn't turn it on again, all I got was the first t-mobile screen for a few seconds and then it switched off. It was certainly hot weather but the phone didn't feel hotter than normal. Even hours later when the phone was completely cooled off it wouldn't turn on. I figured it would need to be returned for repair.

So I managed to do a hard reset in the few seconds the phone would stay on to see if it would make any difference which it didn't. Also, it was for reasons of voiding the warranty with all my 3rd party software which needs to be removed if sending back to htc.

When I got home and plugged the phone into my pc, after a few minutes of charging, it was all ok again! So I didn't need to hard reset and have now reinstalled everything. I'm pretty sure the cigarette lighter socket works ok as it worked once with my artemis and the same charger. I can think of no good reason it didn't charge the battery.

Btw, take a look at this picture. See the stain on the lower side of the back cover? Is that a heat stain from overheating? It won't rub off. The phone is always in it's silicon case. The silcion case shows no evidence of heat marks but I'm wondering if it contributed to the marks.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfolo:
Sounds like you flashed a ROM with an alternate boot image (Cyanogen, maybe?). One of the most common mistakes that people make is assuming that the phone is not doing anything during the initial load, which takes a long, long time.

Do you have adb? If so type adb logcat while the phone is booting during the "blue logo." If you see the phone is loading up a bunch of stuff (and the stuff doesn't repeat itself), WAIT! After a while you will come to your home screen.
