First of all if you want to "jailbreak" something I would suggest you buy an iphone; g1' get rooted. Second of all if you post in the right section you have a better chance of not gettinh flamed. Thirdly if you spend some time reading current/old posts you can get other peoples opinions on each rom. Flash and see how each rom works for you.....not all g1's react to the same rom the same way. Put some effort into it and you will be suprised how much more you learn. Good luck
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or simply search.......Final result will be a ban for you up too 3 days.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Sorry for not understanding but i am new to this and definitely willing to learn, Id like to know what is the best Hero Rom (smoothest with the most things working) and if once i have installed it, is it possible to go back to my normal rom if i dont like it.
Id like to know how to download apps such as Apps2SD and themes such as the good ones on here (is a special rom needed or a certain rom ?)
Sorry for all the questions but please help i am willing to make a dontation to somebody who can help me.
Thanks Everyone
This is a place for discussion for more people who are experienced, thats why its called "development" as for themes those are under the "themes" section.....
if your looking for n00b resources for full on n00bs please don't post annoying threads here. Learn to look **** up on google and in under 10 seconds you would have found
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/
for how to root, one click rom install, and how to restore back to factory. Or even above your own damn post there are n00b resrouces.
as for ROMs this is the DEVELOPMENT section. So people need to stop asking for a perfect rom. Use cyanogen stable roms if you want stablility. If not ROMs come out every 2-3 days for evil and every couple weeks for other ROMs. They are NOT stable
Qtek=fastest most stable does not work on most MT3G (this is believed to be kernel issues with 2.7xxxx)
Evil= 50/50 depending on his builds, he likes to f* stuff up alot and patch within a few hours
cyanogen 4.1.11.1=android 1.6 AOSP(android open source project)

I did do a search and i did find that site although since i am such a noob i dint even know what rooting my Magic was for :/.
Could you tell me what rooting is for ? eg if i root my device once does that mean i can use all the stuff you guys are uploading eg just put a theme on it straight away?
Cheers James
rooting your phone gives you controll of the / files of yoru phone. It lets you install roms and such. i suggest looking at the latest video of rooting your magic and the video of how to install a rom. it'll put you right at par with where alot of users on this forum are at. only like 15 mins of video too.

Hello Ladies and Gents,
ive been around for quiet some time in the xda world and im finally back with my tmob wing and im ready for an update. with a new rom.
ive had the mda for 2 years and now been withthe wing for about 3 i got the latest original rom update from t-mobile but that stops there. i need somthing easy and that doesnt take up too much of my time installing and easy directions lol. ( im so lazy)
if you can point me to the best rom out that wont FRY my wing ide greatly apprecieate it.
im basically tired of this storage issue being extreamly low. and just slow, slow performance.
if possible you can email me @ [email protected]
Hey, just to keep you from getting chastised from XDA moderators, please try not to post the same question twice.
As far as a stable ROM please try my TribU2U v3 using build 28223. Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591882
No Double Posting.
Do not post "what ROM is the best" threads. Especially in the Development forum. All threads in the Development forum must be development related.
INFO:
Model number: HTC Magic
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 62.52S.20.18U_3.22.20.17
Kernel version: 2.6.27-dd63d1eb u70000
Build number: 2.16.401.5 146733 CL#33743 release-keys
Now my deal is...I see everyone talks about upgrading Rogers versions...but Kernel versions like mine, I couldn´t find any info..., so I would like your help on this...Please!!!
ROFL!
The kernel is a part of the OS, not a carrier!
If you want to use CursorSense (enhanced rogers update) just visit that thread and you'll find all the info you need.
First off you need a few things. A good recovery, possibly a new SPL and the ROM you want to try. Do some reading on any of the posts in the forum that have hero in the title, cursorsense is an option also. find one you are interested in, and then check the requirements. Some require more work than others (cursorsense) but if you really like Sense it could be worth it. I personally hate it but there are lots of options and all offer a little something different.

thanks 99bluoval, Iam new at this...the other day at youtube, I saw someone with a magic and as a rom he had a hero fatality...that's when I found out that it was possible to change. So I decided to have a look here...all is confusing right now...I have read threads about crashing the phone,... but I will try.
Again thanks for the advice...people like you is what we need in here!!!!

You took the time to tell him to search, but it would've been decent to just give him a link.
I'm using the same Tom, I've searched, and haven't found the answer either
Hopefully someone can answer......

Already gave him links in another thread. As he kept asking questions I though that learning to search for his answers may be of benefit since each question in this thread has been answered many times.

I did see something about the keyboard, but not about the maps or deleting
apps that are considered blot, or that you don't use.

For use a non-stock keyboard on TNT/TNT lite, you have to do more than just installing the APK.
Search in the themes area for 'keyboard' or 'alternate keyboard', and you'll find several threads about doing that. You're going to need root for this (since you asked before ).
I'm not sure about removing apps.

I found the threads, but I do not understand what I need to use to move the keyboard apps or even how to....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10567745&postcount=2
This is actually a post of Jim's in another thread. These are the instructions I followed and it worked great for me. (I need to thank-button him for that.)
I like Swiftkey for my phone, but for the tablet, I'm really liking Thumb Keyboard, so maybe check that out.
Two things...first, a real effort with search would have turned up your answer for you...second, "Two questions" is not a very good title for your thread--not descriptive at all. A lousy title is really going to cut down on the number of people who are going to read a post...that's why you will go a long time before getting a decent response.
I don't know about the extra apps. I wouldn't go ripping stuff out without a firm understanding about how different apps--especially system apps--relate to the running of the OS. I can't guide you on that except to say that there's plenty of room on the gTab. That little extra space isn't worth the risk of borking your tablet, in my opinion.

Think you're in the wrong forum. This one is for Viewsonic G tablet ..
Jim
sorry
ok i am new to this sorry about that
I bought my g tablet in late November and as a newbie I managed to get it to the point that it ran flash, played angry birds and had the Google market from the great help I found on these threads. I ran out of free time to tweak it and muddle through the technical speak in the threads so now I am unsure if I can update the TnT version or if I should factory reset and follow one of the great newbie threads on this site to update since I can't remember exactly what I did to get where I am with it. Please be gentle- I know I'm a spaz and should have paid more attention to the steps I took originally.

Ok u r running the latest stock version. A new version 3991 is in testing now and may be out soon. A major change with many of the changes in roebeets enhancement pack. I would just wait a few days.
Ok- Thanks so much for your help!
brandyc,
I agree. If your time and memory are limited -- and your G-Tablet is working well -- leave well enough alone.
All the current ROMs have their unique features, but in the end there is getting to be less and less difference in the alternate ROMs and stock. It's fun to play, but not necessary!
I have two tablets -- one on TNT Lite 5.0.1 and one stock 3991. Both work great!
