I have a Touch Pro fully flashed (SMS/MMS, INTERNET) it still has the Sprint ROM but works well on cricket. I don't like that I cannot modify TF3D and don't like my home page. Also don't like that weather doesn't work or skyfire. Can I load Mighty ROM or Juicy ROM without loosing my Cricket settings? Do I have to erase the existing ROM first? What programs do I need loaded to my laptop to load ROM's. If I decide to use Android ROM, do I need to put it onto my memory card?

Seeing a lot of talk about the Cyanogen 7 mod, and the leaked 2.3 ROM. This is primarily the reason I got the phone and switched to Android so I can start playing this kind of stuff.
Any good walk throughs on how to go about installing after market ROMs?
And if I don't like a ROM how hard is it to get back to stock?
Will I lose all my info, like contacts and program settings if I install a ROM?
Is there anyway I can set up a dual boot system so I can keep my stock build/settings and just multi-boot to a different OS, like 2.3 by restarting the phone?
I have been using my HTC G1 for the nearly one year, i actually bought the phone on ebay (used), simply because it had slide-out keyboard.
After i found about Cyanogen mods, i rooted the phone like any other geek and installed Cyanogenmod 6, but the phone was slow and it was frustrating to multi-task. Every time i has a couple of programs running on the background, if i go to the home screen, it will all go blank for a while and then load again.
Then, i decided to downgrade the to Cyanogenmod4, which is 1.6. Everything was working fine, but i wasn't able to enjoy all the cool new features of Froyo. So i started experimenting a lot of Froyo roms aout there to find out the best.
And i finally found the best ROM for G1. It is 'Froyo By Laszlo', the rom is simply phenomenal.
For the 1st time ever with a Froyo rom i was able to multi-task without any issues what so ever, games were working great and it was really fast.
The best thing about this Rom is that, it has all the little features bundled with it, so i don't need to install any additional apps to tweak it, like LauncherPro (fastest launcher for G1), CPU overclocking app is in-built, comcache enable (can switch to swap if you want), MinimalGreen mixed with Gingerbred theme.
You do require
SPL: 1.33.0013d (hboot), RADIO: 2.22.27.08 / 28.25 and EXT 4 PARTITION
Before you flash this Rom. Go to this thread for instructions.
To get the appropriate Radio and HBOOT, go to this thread here. (After getting the Radio and HBOOT, skip the instructions to install Gingerbread Rom and follow the instructions in the above thread to get the Froyo Rom)
It only took me 30mins to install the new Radio, Hboot and Rom.
Try this Rom, if you have a G1 and give it a new life.

Hello everybody,
I´ve got a Rogers Captivate i896 with Firmware version 2.2 (stock Rogers firmware(Canada), flashed 1 year ago, upgrading from 2.1 stock)
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Modem version UXJL1
Rooted, unlocked and 1 click Lagfix
I´m on Rogers network.
Problems:
1) Many applications stop working once updated. IM+ version 4.xx works, anything higher crashes on start. Same story happens with LOTS of apps from Playstore, so I´m forced to be careful when updating apps. This is becoming super-annoying.
2)Recently, installed DROIDVPN and TUN.KO installer to use Dell voice on an Unlimited Mobile Browsing plan(crippled data for WAP browsing). It worked beautifully for 1 day, now starting DROIDVPN or TUN.KO makes the phone restart.
3)I´d like to get rid of built-in garbage, most of which I do not use, to have more control over running apps, especially those that hang themselves into start-up.
4) I´d like to get better battery life. I use my phone more and more, I´ve got 2 batteries and and external charger, and yet i sometimes have trouble getting to the end of the day without my phone dying/I]
Solutions.
I imagine that the only explanation for apps that simply refuse to work is that they are designed for newer Android systems. This happened with Skype that didn´t work with Eclair, but does work with 2.2.
Should I upgrade to ICS?
I have some experience flashing, yet I´m far from an expert. What´s the most fail-safe plan of actions? Would the following work:
1)Backup everything using TitaniumBackup
2)Install custom bootloader that would allow me to flash install.zip from external SD card
3)Choose a custom ROM based on user feedbacks, like Cyanogen MOD.
4)Restore all the apps
5)Experiment with different modem firmware to see which gives me best performance
I no longer have time to tinker around in the dark, so I´d like to have a plan before I get started. Any input on the possible solutions to the problems I´m experiencing?
Thank you in advance.

Just a question: why haven't you upgraded to Rogers official GB?
And BTW, ICS is a massive improvement over 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.
I have a great experience with this ICS Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522881
But there are others that are just as good I'm sure.
My 2 cents:
Stay away from ICS. It has the ability to damage your SD card.
Use this post to upgrade to gingerbread. Then use the utility in my signature to get root and cwm. Then choose a GB based ROM that suits your needs. May I suggest Legend?
¨Use this post to upgrade to gingerbread. Then use the utility in my signature to get root and cwm¨
Wouldn´t it be wiser to get clockwork mod before any upgrading just in case things go bad? I vaguely remember using clockworkmod last time I dealt with flashing, isn´t it a loader that allows you to load install.zip from SD card? Or would flashing a new system wipe out the mod as well?
How exactly can ICS damage SD card. Are you talking about the external SD or the built-in SD storage in the phone?
I´ve read partially the threads on Legend and Android Open Kang Project - captivatemtd - Milestone 6. Both sound pretty good. As far as you guys know, which rom is known to give best battery life?
If you're going to upgrade to a custom rom that is Gingerbread or Higher, you will need the Gingerbread bootloaders. That is why I say to go to stock Gingerbread first.
ICS can cause the Encryption Unsuccessful bug as seen here. It will cause you to lose all access to the built-in SD storage. It doesn't happen to everyone, but when it does, you'll wish you had heeded my advice.
Bought this for my daughter.
Rooted it, did a nandroid, then forgot to copy my nandroid to PC before I wiped the sd card for ext..
So, after looking all over the net, I have found Modded stock roms, but none with the update profile feature.
I rooted and flashed a rom before activating, so now I seem to be hosed....
Nothin for cricket seems to work as far as "back to stock". I tried these just in hopes that they might work.. Even if they didnt, Im no worse off. Seems ST is the oddball of the carriers, since you cant get into adb with it, only recovery.
If you have a copy of this rom, or know where to get one, please post. Again, I need Straight Talk Ascend II (M865c) STOCK rom with UPDATE PROFILE option.
Or, if you know a workaround on how to activate while running a modded or custom rom.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I'm new to all this. Is there a ROM that I can flash over top of this Cyanogen (See pic) that has all the sprint activation stuff so I can activate my phone and flash back to Cyanogen?
I did make a backup of the original ROM software and after 20 or thirty minutes of looking for the backup I realized that I had backed it up to my phone and not my SD card........
Download any touchwiz based rom and flash it in order to activate your phone.
