I wonder how many impatient yet curious people out there, who is going to go back to RC33, just to try out the cupcake and go back to having root again. I don't see myself missing any features from the update. perhaps more lacking than anything else if I choose the by the book upgrade method. I have never used the myfav app. Maybe I would welcome the IM app more so than anything. I would love to see the H build camera appear on the next root cupcake build.

I'm just sad that it won't have Flash. After the video demoing a full version of Flash on a G1 a while back, and the rumors that it'd be ready w/ Cupcake, I'm disappointed that we still have to wait. OTOH, it means we still won't be subjected to annoying Flash ads. *shrug*

And if you look close at that video, the parts that actually had motion to it were incredibly laggy.
Adobe can't even get flash on Linux to work smoothly, I don't think they are interested in making it smooth for the G1.
Heck, they are so inept they are outsourcing the development of their own product to a third party.
Flash could have been a great product, but Adobe has ran it into the ground since the '05 acquisition of Macromedia.

I was running JF's ADP1.5 and I got a system update message from Google... I thought it was kind of weird. Has anyone had that happen?

why go back to rc33 when we can go to JF1.5,Dude1.1a or Haykuro?

Well i personally went back to rc33 because it seems to run better to me, also to get protected apps back. They would install on JF 1.50 but not work it would just force close on me. They worked fine on dude's build but its too unstable for my taste. I also use open home and its not ready for cupcake yet so back I go. Im gonna use rc version of cupcake anyways so might as well go back now. Cupcake doesn't really offer me anything i need.

aHome has a cupcake version (search for it) and it's free. I'm running a bunch of signed/protected apps without any issues.

From what I can remember now, two of them are nba gametime and RepliGo Reader.

i'm on dude 1.1a and have no problems. i have ahome and open home running with no problems. protected apps have no problems (call faker, spades, decibel, etc.) nothing has forced closed on me. and have everything running off sd card

Advanced Task Manager works with JF1.5 ADP, and Bratag has a Cupcake version of SnapPhoto Pro available to customers who paid for the RC33 version.

I've been running the Dude's build and I have no problems with protected apps.
One or two had to be uninstalled and re-installed... But, they worked just fine.
Stability? I haven't had any problems!!! with the ROM.
There were one or two apps that had compatibility problems... But, I contacted the devs and they fixed them.
I can't figure out why so many people have so many problems!! I'm just guessing they aren't following all of the instructions at the beginning.
I will say that when going to the versions with the new unionfs system for apps2sd I would recommend copying the app and app-private files, wiping everything else from the ext2 partition and replacing them prior to moving to the newest versions... But, that was the only "difficult" thing about it. Then everything works great!

new to fuze, have rom questions...

i just started browsing this site a few days and am very impressed with the whole community..
anyway, i just swapped out my samsung epix for an htc fuze and love the phone so far. I've already succesfully removed the at&t tab, fixed the small mms issue, and changed the default device.home.
thats apperently the the tip of the iceberg as far as customizing this phone goes. I am now interested in a different rom. I've noticed a lot of good things about the energyrom 2.0/3.0 and am very interested but also hesitant to flash my phone since i only just got it and dont want to void any warranties.
my quesions;
1. whats the latest energyrom 2.0 build? (maybe give me a dl link)
2. does the rom come with a bunch of apps im not gonna use?
3. Do i need to flash the radio before/after the rom or at all?
4. and which radio is best?
tia, im looking forward to learning more as this phone will do until i get the touch pro 2 or whatever comes next.
edit: i do realize there is a wiki and have been studying it, i've also seen the rom flashing for noobs section and have a rough idea that hardspl is a failsafe should anything go wrong

I'm just going to say that you need to find the answers to your own questions.
Start here.

Welcome to forums
Energy ROM is great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751

im still iffy on going to a 6.5 rom cause i guess its still a beta version on winmo (i think) so i was more thinkin on 6.1, i dont need newest just something different from stock but stable as well.
i was lookin at this list (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_Cooked_WM6.1_ROMs) and noticed energyrom 2.0 build 41609 was the newest but the thread link doesnt work.
i clicked the energyrom 1.0 build 32609 thread link and it brought me to a thread for energyrom 1.0 build 41609.....is that the same as energyrom 2.0 build 41609?
i also looked around and noticed the radio is untouched with just a rom flash so ill leave that alone for now. thank you for showing me how to use google anyway.

I am using 6.5 EnergyROM. It's very stable. Try it. The radio in my signature really works well in Northern California.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751

aight, i think i will. thanks again for the info.

i flashed the rom to the energy 6.5 rom and am pretty amazed at people are willing to do for free. now ive only messed with it for about an hour but am loving it.
the only thing im worried about is how high the memory usage will go and how the battery life is affected..

In need of some software hacking advice

I just rooted my g1, and I have been wondering what is the most up to date rom/image to run on it. I see all different kinds, ranging from RC33, ADP and RC8. Jesus freak is one I found a lot of hype from. I just don't know which developer to use and which version. Can anyone help me out?
Leave a opinion on best one to use and maybe links to a download site to get the image.
Thanks for any help!
TiGGeR

the only 3rd party rom i have used is cyanogen mod. i thought i was going to have to flash atleast a few before i found one to stay with, but i lucked out. been debating trying a few others, but so far im real happy. looks better, runs quicker... have a few things i dont like but i can change them in time

yeah but which build? RC33? ADP? RC8? and im confused on how to uninstall JF if i have to. Do i just do a wipe?factory reset from my recovery screen?

how did you flash you g1, i downloaded the DREAIMG-RC29.zip file and when I camera button and power on it gives me the grayish screen for a spilt moment and says couldn't find file! How do I get from point a?

Message to Dev Team....

Hey everyone, Forgive me,
Do not no much of this stuff yet. Got a Mytouch 4G For Christmas and it seems i have been spending alot of time on it.
So i have perm rooted, Radio s-off, S-off, Tried Ice and Cyan. Both amazing Roms. Cudo's to you guys... Its good to see and how people are doing something good with there skills and not being so destructive, like ( Holding Tounge ) person that u/led that software on the Market, virus tainted. Dude what the hell you thinking... Just dont understand. Do good with such talents. You can still get noticed or is your intelli that lapsed.
Anyways... Just gets so mad at crap like that. We should all do for better... I aggree that tech has a big part with it and advancement is made by such intrusion but there are other ways to find such things with out infecting people... Grrrrrrrr...
Appologies... Ice, the Web Browser does not work in your latest release, at least on my phone, From what i read, something called force closing. Actually every version of your rom has that issue on my phone. Dont know.... If you need info from my phone let me know..
For others sorry, if its been asked. Like i said i'm new. Have installed Android SDK and bout books to learn Coding for it, in my hope that i might be able to contribute in some small way. Theme or something.. Or my own Rom perhaps.. Neva Know...

Well I am not sure what your talking about the Browser not working as it has been. Did you fully wipe the system? and then correctly flash it? I never saw or heard Browser FC in MT4G till now. I recommend you download IGv1.1.6 and flash CWMR3.0.0.6 and then do full system wipe after that flash the rom.

And also, don't forget to install Flash from the Market after you've flashed and reinstalled the ROM.
Not sure, but hopefully it should take care of your browser problem.

Thank You
Tried that, didnt seem to work... Np. Phone works, using Cyan at the moment.
Great Rom. Sorry to bother you folks..
Thanks again..

Has Development slowed down!

Is it me or has development slow down a bit! It seems it started out strong and lately we haven't seen much aside from Faux and CM updating their ASOP roms.
I mean we don't really have any themers either! I know if I could I would make some!
Coming from the Vibrant there was a lot of themes and dev going on!
Now I know it's been less than two months, but the way it started out I thought we would have more going on!
I guess maybe everyone is waiting on the GB update when ever we get it!
...

we waiting 2.3
gonna be here on 06/16/11

I hope GB gets here on 6/16 that would be the best B-day present I could get lol

I have a replacement unit coming the 22nd, I hope it comes with 2.3 already in it!
...

There are lots of themes. CM7 uses T-Mobile themes and they are downloadable in the market.
No reason to mod stock unless you install the cm theme support.
LG G2x CM7 2.3.4

couple things.
waiting for the gingerbread source from lg to insure everything needed will work. and dont want to release a rom at this point where i cant tell if reboots , wifi, 4g(whre it shuts down than takes a while to start again), as well as gps.
when these features are working on the phone as should than ill start the rom, but no care to spend days trying to figure out why something doesnt work when its the darn baseband that i cant mess with.
themes. the theming engine has taken over unfortunately. it does theme and is a lot easier for the themers(after they learn it) since 1 theme works on all roms. but its just not like the old days where every app was themed and such. some have taken time to write scripts and such so they can make a better more inclusive theme with it , but most of the themes for it are color changes and icons not full themes with every app themed as we were use to . I know several of the themes that are on my rom for the droid would never be able to be as complete through the theming engine. but it does ok just different. and does enable many more themes available to all roms. and its not like a this or that themes can still be made the old way. but with the old way you need to update the theme with every new build(framework) of the rom so since these roms are in constant change at this point i dont think many are spending time theming it. especially froyo.

Honestly I can't speak for everyone but I have to many projects going on and I don't want to release buggy roms to you guys. I have not stopped working but I would love to see 2.3 drop as it would be (hopefully) more stable in general as they had time to get the bugs out.
Look at it like this the more time we have to spend working on battery drivers the less time we have making good roms. LG did not tell even close to the truth as this was supposed to be a true google experience (MY ASS IT IS) so we already had to spend countless hours removing BS they left it from the O2X.
Anyways look for more stuff soon I am sure as currenlty I am working on my rom again and I know of other hidden stuff getting done. (sorry can't say what all it is yet)
Later.

i was gonna do a quick port of my rom for my own use but when i looked at the source code for g2x froyo-- it appears al they did was remove the instruction sets for the overlay of the o2x all that crud is in the framework and elsewhere and just seemed like to much hassle, so waiting for the gb and hopfully a more stable driverset and baseband.
or keep the life i actaully have now that was non existant for the 9 months i developed for the droid 1
maybe ill just leave it up to you

Personally I say the more the merrier as I really do care about the end users. I hope to see more people jump in even if it is only a rom modded by adding removing a few things as everyone has to start somewhere.
Anyone can use my rom as a base all I ask is some credit or atleast send me a pm.
And I will always try to answer any questions as long as I got the time

too true

more options are good.
my rom was called sourcery so it kinda had to be from source
i am not with the co0developer of that anymore so id have to comeup with another cool name. but still rather do from source than others base , but might use lg gb as a base if they release it.(hopefully without all the o2x crud) or let us make use of it 1 or the other.
but yeah all the initial launch build was is a o2x froyo themed rom.
have you played around with the animated pull down stuff. looks kinda cool and on the g2x it shouldnt hurt performance much. kinda something new.

I would love to see another rom made from source. I have been working on a 2.2 from source but not even close to being release ready as buggier then crap
Anyways I am sure the crack flashers would love another rom to try out

2.2.2

2.2.2 i think is not as stable as 2.2.1 i lost 200 on quandrant with it not sure why but from 2.2.1 same rom same mods.
Over all its ok. i released the 2.2.2 rom 3 days after the source was released. did a serious rebuild from scratch since i was about ready to release the 2.2.1
i remember i had a couple bugs i had to figure out that werent on 2.2.1 but i forget what they were .
you have any questions or need a little help drop me a pm.
ill help where i can.
this is a link to my rom since i think only people on verizon have ever heard of it

@tweezit I for one appreciate all the work you guys put into supporting this phone. I know it takes a lot of time and hard work. If seems some of us are impatient it's only because we are. Seriously, you are making a great device better and I thank you for it.
@Eagle1967 Just checked your Rom out and I would love to see a port...really slick stuff there...great app inclusions and love the blue/black theme.
I'm wading into this myself...been playing around with it but any kind of release is at least a couple month away...if ever. Really makes me appreciate what you guys do.

thanks

when i started i knew nothing. i started in august last year was late september before i actaully got my first build that completed and installed and ran and first release was on christmas so took a long time but i started with no knowlege of any of it. still not always sure what i do to make it work it just does
yeah it took 9 months of my life part of the reason i stopped(part ).. but it was fun and made me feel like i accomplished something. i cant believe how popular the rom still is since i havent really done anything with it since febuary but it was the first custom rom with froyo 2.2.2 and actually was for quite a while until some gave up on gingerbread and went back i think there is still only 1 other 2.2.2 rom for the droid though.
if you have any questions feel free to pm me. ill help you out if i can.
