Still no luck, will try to return G1 to stock and restart rooting process

I've always used AOSP :(

I must be the unlucky one to have a G1 that is now crapping itself.

Though maybe there's a chance that I downloaded the wrong expansion pack. Let me check...... and nope, nothing's wrong here, I have the right combination (both are AOSP).

Maybe I should follow one of those "get your G1 back to stock" guides and do everything again. I could probably compare the stability and speed of T-Mobile's RC33 build with these ROMs...... lol.. that would be a funny thing to do after a whole year of running all these nice tweaks and hacks and optimized builds :D
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I notice you're using the new radio with the new recovery too, shouldn't be a problem at all though. I've been having battery problems ever since I changed to 1.7, it could be that i need a new batt but who knows.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Still The Best

this is still (in my opinion) the best G1 ROM .. i have been playing with CM5 and others .. runs ok with myTouch, but seems to fail miserably with the G1 .. utilizing a base specifically designed for the G1 seems the best option (TheOfficial)
[G1 Android Development] PSP_Hacker:
I am really sick of my G1's weirdness

That's exactly what I think, that 1.6 is the best one to use on the Dream.

I think my problems have all started since I've overclocked for the first time. I remember the first overclock hacks did nothing, but the current ones now actually work, and the first time I flashed an OC kernel over a stable cm4, my phone's been acting weird.... though, not the extreme weirdness like randomly rebooting and crashing, but it's like many of the ROMs I flash have a problem.

For example, with the latest cm4, sometimes when I flashed it once I would not see all the ringtones and other sounds (even after rebooting), but when I reflash the ROM, they're all there, since they probably got copied in the second attempt.

Another example is the damn market problem I've been having with EVERY SINGLE ROM NOW. The Market is crappy, it's slow and it takes forever to get results.

This market problem has been happening on ALL ROMS I've tried, including:

1.5 Hero

1.5 Sapphire

1.6 TheOfficial

1.6 Cyanogen

1.6 SuperD

2.1 Cyanogen

2.1 CaNNoN

2.1 SuperE

2.1 Sense

ANYTHING!!

THIS SUCKS!!! I hate these dumb problems I am having.

I know that experimental ROMs are going to have tiny irritating bugs since the devs and testers just haven't found that little bug (like a brightness issue I see in CM5 that only happens with one app), but I am trying to use STABLE ROMS that I have had SUCCESS with in the PAST! Like THIS great ROM!

It's like my G1 is crippled! Could it be the sdcard slot is borked? No! I tested it and checked hashes for EVERYTHING I CAN CHECK!

Could it be that the mainboard or CPU is borked? I don't think so, because if that were the case, it would not start, or it would randomly crash, which it doesn't do at all? Maybe the radios are borked? Most probably not, though probably, because it seems like T-Mobile has crapped down their 3G, because when I first got my G1, download speeds were AMAZING (maximum of I dunno... 400 KB/SEC!) but now they're at a max of 120 KB/sec with an average of like 50 KB/sec. So MAYBE the radio is acting weird, but I think it's just T-Mobile. Besides, everything else on the phone (Browser) works perfectly!

I'm going to try enomther's previous release of TheOfficial Donut, to see if it works :(
[G1 Android Development] rockodeville13:
hey guys, i've been looking through this thread.

but still have one question...i've been out of here for quite a long time.

and i reflashed the aosp and aosp exp. but when i try to use the features

from the exp, the files never download. it gives me an error like "could not connect to server" or something along those lines...any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
You'll need to install a new version of GUSTO, since AndroidSPIN moved things around. http://gusto-latest.greentaperacing.us/ is a direct link to the APK.
[G1 Android Development] rockodeville13:
Why thank you very much sir! =)

i've also been experiencing a whole lot of freezes since i've flashed and reflashed and reflashed my phone... havent quite figured out what it is causing the freeze yet. every time it happens the only way to get it back to working is pulling the battery. a tad bit annoying.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Hmm... I used to use this ROM on my G1 almost exclusively... Now on my MT3G (32B Board), I can't seem to get it working. I'd been using CM 5.0.7, but am frustrated with the lag and slowdowns, so was going to try a 1.6 ROM again just for comparison... yet, 15 minutes after flash it is still stuck on the "HTC Magic" splash screen... adb logcat shows no activity, doesn't even seem to connect to the phone (not sure if usb debugging is on by default, but obviously I can't get to the setting to turn it on if it is not)...

Anyone know why this wouldn't be working? Since I've got a 32B I shouldn't need to do anything special, right? Flash the AOSP, the ExpPack, and that's it? And of course, wipes, wipes... Could it be confused by the fact I have a swap partition but not an ext2? EDIT: .. hmm, no, repartitioned SD Card back to a single partition and still no bootup on this :(.... Good thing I made a backup before I started....
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Nope, that all sounds right, except for the "HTC Magic" splash screen. That is suspiciously 32A-like--the myTouch (which is what's in your sig) uses a custom "myTouch 3g" splash. Please double-check that.

Beyond that, verify downloads are correct and that your base and expansion pack match up (both AOSP).
[G1 Android Development] smanzor88:
hi having problems loading up this ROM..im coming from cyans 5.0.8 stable. i wipe wipe wipe then i flash the base rom and then the extension..i pass the g1 logo screen and make it to the silver anrdroid then afterwards the screen turns black ..am i doing something wrong? thanks

-steven.

**fixed.. just had to partition my sd card :) running smoothly now! thanks for the great ROM!
[G1 Android Development] smanzor88:
themes

Anyone else got any cool themes for this ROM ??? excluding the ones on the first page?:D
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
Curious question.. is this rom still being updated since others now using 2.1 and the last update here was in March. Just wondering. I love this rom.. just hope its not gone. =/
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Yeah, i love this Official Rom too, i hope there is still updates coming, like 2.1 would be nice. Should I just try another Rom?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Enom has mentioned doing basically a respin, in part to get an up-to-date GUSTO with the right download locations. There are no plans for a 2.1 ROM as there is no official base to work from (which is this ROM's niche). I've heard good things about CM5. :)
[G1 Android Development] chief2842:
Hey O I want to try that CM5 out wipe before flashing?

edit:

Nevermind flashed it without any problems going to play around with it and see how stable it is.
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
CM5 eh? Might be ok, is it as stable and good as this one? As for official based, maybe enom can do 2 threads. This official one, then a new one based off 2.1. =) (That or hack the market to least give us Update all.. thats all Id like)
[G1 Android Development] Bigt2003:
Has anyone heard anything else about a 2.0.1 or 2.1 official release for 32b's? I've tried the 2.1's based off Cyanogen's port, but all too often I miss calls because it rebooted and was stuck on the bootanimation screen. I love eclair's features, but I need my phone to be reliable before adding all the fancy stuff.
[G1 Android Development] fishman0919:
2.01 and 2.1 are getting skipped for the 32b's it seems like. FroYo 2.2 is officially getting released soon for the whole MyTouch line...Org MyTouch, MyTouch v1.2, Fender MyTouch and MyTouch Slide. G1's are probably not going to get it officially.

LINK to T-Mobile new article

T-Mobile forum LINK
[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
Ah that would be so awesome. None of the donut builds are being updated at all. Hopefully enom can update the apps2sd as well, since amon-ra's recovery no longer supports the old /system/sd/ one.

Does anyone use the usb tethering on this rom? Does it require drivers on the computer? Or is it plug in play like cyanogen's roms?
[G1 Android Development] Bigt2003:
Yes, it works perfectly and it's plug-n-play.
[G1 Android Development] Bigt2003:
Off topic but...

Anyone know how to delete a post?
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
I actually have the t-mobile magazine that the article originally came from :)

so according to t-mobile 2.2 is definitely coming to the mytouch.

I can post pics of the article but its actually identical to the one found on google.

I never knew t-mobile made a magazine until I got this one :/

it seems specifically geared towards the mytouch though.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
you can still find amon ra's older recoveries floating about, and they still do the normal A2SD format. :)

its only the newest version thats different.

I actually had a very old Amon Ra dream recovery on my Mytouch for forever. I never felt the need to update until cyanogen 5.0.8 came out ;)

thats when I found out there were different versions for the mytouch (sapphire) lol
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
I love the new CM-5.0.8 :)

unfortunately nothing much I've come across is nearly as stable as this rom.

CM5 is really fast and has lots of really cool features and its definitely stable enough to be your everyday rom.

however like I said if you want super stable, you cant beat this one.

CM5 still has a few quirks.
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
So wait.. if im using Enom still, I shouldnt use 1.7.0 RA?
[G1 Android Development] fishman0919:
Are you planning on changing your rom anytime soon... using any of the newer feat in RA 1.7.0? If not, then why should you? It won't effect how your rom works.
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
Lets say I had to wipe tho and restore to the rom now. Would it still work fine?
[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
Won't work well if you try to backup/restore the ext partition, because 1.70 is looking for the apps in /sd-ext/, while TheOfficial uses the old method of storing it in /system/sd/

So if you had an old nandroid+ext backup of donut you wanted to restore using 1.70, it will restore everything but your apps.
[G1 Android Development] vroomr4:
fyi, the wifi and wired tether apks have been updated.

wifi: 2.0.5-pre2 **EXPERIMENTAL** or 2.0.2.apk**stable**

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=HTC+Donut

wired: v1.2

http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
if the Official 2.2 update comes out for the mytouch Original, does that mean we will get a 2.2 official Rom from Enomther?
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
What if im not backing up and restoring tho? I use adb to push/pull to backup and restore.
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
you should be alright if yur using adb :)

the only problem is with A2SD, otherwise you should be just fine with the new Amon Ra recovery. I used it with this rom for a while.

it really just changes where it puts the apps on your SD card.

its really just pointless to upgrade if you have the previous version as it does not affect your rom at all either way except for A2SD when flashing a new Rom.

but if you have the new version theres not allot of reason to downgrade either especially if you just use adb.

the only reason I switched at all was because I wanted to try cyanogen 5.0.8 out.

even then you don't need to upgrade, it just makes installing cyanogen 5.0.8 (or similar) easier :)

in short, its slightly better to have the right version of Amon Ra recovery for your rom, but its not required at all and does not take functionality away.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Nothing means anything.

If there is an official 2.2 ROM though, it is far more likely enomther will create a release. No guarantees though; he's been pretty quiet recently.
[G1 Android Development] fishman0919:
From enomther on Twitter...
[G1 Android Development] firefly6240:
Sweet thanks :)

I lost those when I switched roms, these work great :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea, if we actually see an official 2.2 hit the mytouch 32b (orig) device ... I'd at that point have a strong/compelling reason to provide an update for this ROM to 2.2 ... given the built-in HW support.

But, an actual official 2.2 release for mt3g has yet to be seen, so we shall see ...

If we don't see such an update for mt3g, it will continue to be difficult to find reasons to update this ROM in the donut branch of things.

I can only say that I truly hope for the sake of g1/mt3g owners that such an update does get released for you guys. If one does (I still have my g1/mt3g dev hw) ... I'll find a way to update bring it up-to-date, if indeed it's possible.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] smanzor88:
THANKS enomther for giving us the update!! :) i really do hope they bring the froyo to either mt3g or g1..

but anyways while 1.6 is still the best rom for the g1. does anyone have any good setcpu settings that is best for battery life?? thanks i have mine running on MAX 384 mhz and MIN 245 mhz. are these good settings????? it seems that as of right now it is trial and error...thanks again everyone!

also under profiles my settings are : "profile on" and "sleep/standby" settings are enabled and settings are "maz 245" and "min 128 on demand" that is the only one enabled the rest are 384 max and 245 min...
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
i went to Chromatic 3.6 Eclair Rom very easy, I will be using Chromatic's Rom until an official release for mt3g of eclair or froyo comes out. MT3G users, try out Chromatic's Rom. Real fast.
[G1 Android Development] z28james:
Thank you for this set of roms. I like having an option to run a stock rooted rom.
[G1 Android Development] thricemin:
I feel like the stock rom runs the fastest, however how can you change the stock messenger to the green smile guy and notification? :D
[G1 Android Development] PSP_Hacker:
This build DOES feel like the fastest. Even though we might be getting lower megaflops in benchmark tests compared to other ROMs, everything seems faster.

Even my games run faster compared to CyanogenMod 4 or 5, SuperD, and many others.

It's funny how you look at Cyanogen's changelog and see all these improvements that are meant to improve performance, yet CyanogenMod is slower than this almost-vanilla build of Android.
[G1 Android Development] thricemin:
I agree. :D

But do you know how to change my messaging app to the little green smile one? If you understand the way I stated it. lol.

I can get the phone and a few others back to the way I like it but not the messaging
[G1 Android Development] PSP_Hacker:
lol, I forgot to mention the green smiley icon :D

I got pretty used to the Eclair icon set when I was using CyanogenMod, and I sort of wish I had them back. Maybe you can get a zip for a ROM, open it, and find the APK for the Messaging app. Take out that APK and open it with WinRAR or whatever you use to open archives... rename it to .zip if you have to.

When it's open, look for a folder named "res" and inside that will be "drawable", and maybe three other folders with similar name. Find the icon, and then paste it into the Messaging APK of your current ROM using the same method of opening APKs I said before.

I might be giving a crappy explanation, but that's cause' I'm typing on my G1 :D
[G1 Android Development] thricemin:
I only replaced 3 icons in the drawable file found in the mms apk file, and when I went to flash it I got error wrong digest:system/app/Mms.apk.

Is there something I am missing?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
You now have to goto the metamorph thread and look for eclair icon pack and use the attached apk of the older metamorph(ps that is the older ver that doesnt use xml and uses older metamorphs instead)
[G1 Android Development] thricemin:
I was trying this before I tried to manually edit it but could not find the older metamorph that used thm instead of xml.

Thanks you a million times over! :D
[G1 Android Development] ripgut:
Same here, i keep finding myself going back to this ROM
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Running TheOfficial TMO, and I can't seem to download the 10MB Kernel Hack using expsetup. Says the file is not found.

However, if I go here: http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/RESOURCE/ the file appears to be present. Odd.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
That's not where the version of GUSTO bundled with the last release is pointing, though. Grab the updated GUSTO and you'll be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
I don't know why, but after switching ROMs like crazy I finally landed on the stock Donut from which I started my adventure with G1 and to say the truth, its so freaking good! It's fast, stable, consumes much less battery than any eclair. Simply great! And with no tweaking or so. Only installed expansion pack. I love stock G1 launcher :D. Is there an option to revert 5 screens to 3? I don't have to have so much space.

I tried many, many ROMs for my Dream and I finally reached this conlusion: Donut fits G1 most. Now I see why this phone didn't recieve official update (beside comercial stuff) - simply Donut works best for this phone. That's it. I heard some opinions that CM 6.0 or other compilation flies on G1 like a hurricane. So I flashed CM 6.0. And what? Massive bullsh*t. It was slower than a not so special eclair build.

Donut FTW.

(however I'm missing some cool features from 2.1 like 3D gallery or extended messaging and phone apps from other ROMs, but I will look to a solution ;]).
[G1 Android Development] z28james:
I actually came back to this rom (AOSP) after spending 2 weeks trying to find the "best" rom. This one seems to be the best to me. Its really fast, 3D games run well, the phone stays cool (some roms make my phone really warm). Battery is awesome. I installed juicedefender and let my phone sit on my desk today. Over 9 hours and my battery lost 1%. with eclair, I'd lose 15% in that time with the phone sitting idle.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
IIRC, there's not, but just don't use the two outer screens, and it won't really hurt anything.

Meh, I'm not having any serious problems with CM6, and don't find a significant speed difference, but of course YMMV.

Wysie's enhanced Contacts.apk works just fine on TheOfficial--select it in GUSTO. I didn't use cytown's Phone.apk, but that's an option available in GUSTO as well. Select from the Theme profile menu, boot to recovery, flash the expansion pack again, and reboot.

Oddly enough, I'd like to be rid of the 3D gallery on CM6.
[G1 Android Development] rickim:
I already reinstalled the expansion pack but google maps still disappear .... any help about this ?

It seems that when i installed the expansion pack it will del the google maps application.... if i didn't installed the expansion my google maps still there

And I didn't wipe after the installation of expansion packnya, and already reinstalling the expansion pack ... still didn't appear the google maps

Can anybody or mr enom or admin help me with this ?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Due credit for searching, but following the availability of Google Maps on the Android Market, Maps is no longer included with the ROM. Having Maps baked in the ROM broke Maps updates.

Please download Google Maps from Market. If you need Navigation outside locations where it is currently normally available, seek out Brut.all's Google Maps mod elsewhere in the G1 Android Development forum.
[G1 Android Development] rickim:
solved google maps in Droid 2.0

Ok thanks for the helped,... already downloaded trough xda developer ... can't get on market... now i had an wifi issue ... but i already posted in other rooms

[G1 Android Development] marlopainter:
I, literally, came back to this thread to properly thank the dev and say how I ALWAYS end up back on this ROM after flashing 20 others over a period of a few days.

I love Cyanogen and ALL the work he has done for this community, and many, many, many others, but my poor G1 seems crippled with the new versions of Android. Far too many things going on for the hardware.

Thanks Dev/OP for this awesome ROM, not to mention DeaDnuLL for the awesome buuf theme.
[G1 Android Development] guinnes.s:
i agree, no matter how good the devs are with the latest roms us with g1 and 32b are always gone have slow roms due to the hardware.

let be realistic ,we love the g1 and 32b but they cannot keep up, thats why after 12 months of flashing im going back to 1.6. because im getting really stressed.

at one point i was thinking to jump to iphone so i dont need to keep up with google releasing a rom every 3 months. honestly im tired lol lol

i will try to old on.
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
I said the same to me, but honestly... when the new Froyo ROMs just pop out every day I had to try :P.

Will end up on Donut in no time, but I simply love flashing new ROMs :D.
[G1 Android Development] z28james:
You inspired me to suck it up and try froyo with the MTD patch. Its actually really nice. As fast or faster than 2.1. I think its the battery life that brings me back to donut.
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
Have you tried SuperF test2 or SpeedTeam Froyo? They have very decent battery life :).
[G1 Android Development] z28james:
I tried SpeedTeam but i'm on FroyoRedux now. It runs really well, even at the stock CPU clock speed.
[G1 Android Development] Bigt2003:
I've been trying this jMod froyo. It's based off AOSP, not CM and runs very fast. It's the closest thing to an "Official" froyo out there, so I thought here would be a good place to share. The OP doesn't think there's an interest in it, so be sure to let him know what you think.

[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
So I came here cause I heard TMobile pushed out a official 2.1 and wondered if we will see one too from Enom. Tho after reading here. Seems everyone is sticking on 1.6? I mean I had no reason to update myself.. but Just wondering whats up?
[G1 Android Development] raven_raven:
Never heard of official 2.1 for G1, it will never happen I think.

Nope, I'm done with 1.6 as 2.2 from Cyanogen & its modifications give me comparable speed and much more goodies. I was like "Donut is the best" some time ago, but then I got smarter ;).
[G1 Android Development] ripgut:
Flash the jmod rom beta dated 8/5/10, with cyanogen's gapps, and push adw launcher through adb.

That's what i've done and it's quick as hell.
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
Tried RC3 last week and yes, the UI felt much faster after it struggled into life but the stalls waiting for it and apps to even start were noticeably worse than 1.6. On a heavily loaded G1 CM6 seems marginal, not enough improvement to justify sorting out the app compatibility issues.

Maybe they'll trim enough extra fat in RC4 to make a difference, I'm not holding my breath though.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I have to completely agree with this comment, Froyo/Eclair is just to much for a phone like the G1, it cant handle those kind of features...Plus cyan has a lot of other stuff, that makes it non-AOSP, and it just isnt smooth on the G1, its really bloated too.You have to OC just to be able to run froyo/eclair...With this rom i can run it fine with 128/384...Hell i could go for 245/245 if i wanted to..Battery life is much better here too...Im not knocking the hard work of the devs, but theres no way to get something like 2.2 going nice on a low end device.
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:
youre right!

finally a froyo rom that is not been based on CM's roms.

lets check the rom out and see how fast and stable it is etc.
