Going from microlabs rom to another rom

i did a hardspl and i am using microlabs newest rom and despite what everyone else says its really glitchy and has frozen up soo many times on me and i wanna just use ivanmmj's justme clean rom and install touchflo 2d (if there is even a way to do that). anyway do i need to go back to an orginal tmobile rom or can i just flash another rom over the microlab one? sorry i just dont wanna brick my fone

You can flash over it. Just remember: JustMe requires that you flash through an SD card formatted as FAT32.
Also, installing TouchFLO2D is possible on ANY ROM. (TouchFLO2D itself is VERY buggy, though.)
On a different note: You may get a warning from the MOD for posting this here. Please remember that the Development subforum is to talk about Developing ROMs. Normally, you'd want to post in one of the other Herald subforums.

thx alot but also under the subforum has a description that says rom issues as well as rom development thats why i posted here, sorry if its in the wrong place and again thx for the help

hehe I always thought about stating that but never did

Be aware that some of this is specific to the HTC Dream and not HTC Magic / Sapphire

That's the reason why! We need specific tutorials for MAGIC.
For example I'd liek to try some coocked ROMS on my Voda Magic.
But I need to do first a backup of my original ROM so i can revert back to the factory ROM.
But I'm a little confused about it and a tutorial would help me much!
Just waiting....

Tutorials!
I would like to see some of these tutorials too!
I have recently changed ova from wm6 and used to flash my old phone all the time!
I want to see some tutorials specific to the magic and sum roms specific to the magic.
Or is the hardware similar enough to use the g1 roms?? I have read you can, but i would have thought the magic would have some hardware that the g1 doesnt??
I dont wanna miss out any features!
Can this thread be stickied! plz op!

I would also like to have tut. specific for Magic rooting too.

great idea
+1 for tut.

thanks for the link daldroid. this has really helped an android n00b like me
it would be nice to know what on the tutorial page works for the magic. HardSPL obviously won't, but does nandroid if you have root ?
I know the answers are littered around this forum but would be nice to have a central source. ho humm - maybe I will in a few weeks if my kids leave me alone for 5 mins ........

Ok seeing as I was on the sapphire forever and no body responded

I figure I would try here since I still have a G1 and now I also own a Mytouch
I got a Mytouch from a friend and it was already rooted running a hero rom now I want to run Cyans latest and I know that you have to download a recovery image then his roms in order for them to work . I was wondering since I am new to this phone how would I go about that process. I have downloaded the recovery image from the HTC site for my mytouch but it wont install....I was curious
Yes Yes I know wrong forum but I am true G1 user just now with a spare new Mytouch to mess with

follow this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_Versions
then once u have 4.1.99 u can follow this after that http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page#How_do_I_upgrade_to_the_latest_CyanogenMod.3F
this is the development section so i am sure the mods will move this thread to Q&A where it belongs

Yeah I should have known better to post here but it was just so frustrating lol thank you

Well before I get this thread moved would anyone have a download to that HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83...the link to androidspin is not working

This is for a Mytouch:
http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html

OK well I have the recovery image on therew but would I need 1.5 or 1.6 cause I did the 1.6 and nothing but I have yet to try the 1.5...I know this is odd but the GF wants the mytouch so going to help her

Cyanogen's roms are all 1.6 so u would need the 1.6

You need the 1.6 if you are doing any cyno newer than 4.1.9999999
Basically, what cyno is doing to get around the google c&d is making an update that mods the original base google 1.6, hence why we have to flash first the google ADP 1.6 then the update from Cyno. Hope this helps, and slowly counting down til this gets moved in 3....2......1......

You will find a bunch of different roms for the Gene. Also, if you haven't done so yet, look at the stickies to learn how to unlock your device. You have to do it right, else you will brick the device. Do not flash a rom until you have unlocked it!!!!
Good luck!

thnx a lot for it

ROMS from MT3G or G1 forum?

Hi, been scanning the 'general' threads for a while, but didn't see an answer for this (maybe because it's obvious, idk )
Anyway, should a MT3G 1.0 owner (first gen MT3G) flash ROMS from the MT3G forum or the G1 forum? I know it has to be a ROM for 32b, but beyond that - is there any advantage/disadvantage? Or are all ROMS for the first gen MT and the G1 the same?
I've been flashing from G1 forums, and have been happy with the roms, but am just wondering if I should be taking them from the MT3G forum, i.e. if there's any difference/benefit...still a noob, and trying to figure things out. Thanks for any insight!

Honestly the Sapphire forum was around long before the MT3G. I see a lot of people in the G1 forum making their roms compatible with G1/32B (32B Means mytouch3g) So go there if you can. Check out cyan 2.1!

99% of ROMs for the G1 is compatible with the original mytouch. Also sapphire ROMs/32B Magic ROMs are compatible also.
If you want an Android 2.1 ROM that has a great dev and is fully working then check out the latest Cyanogen. The ROMs title is in my sig.

Thanks guys for the tips. I figured as much, about the g1 and original mytouch roms being good for both devices, but just wanted to put it out there out of curiosity. And thanks for the cyanogen tip too - thinking about trying it, but tbh I'm addicted to sense ui. I just think it looks so much nicer than stock android, so I've been sticking to sense roms only...but sounds like cyanogen is the stock rom to go with if I change my mind!
