i think its not slow. just battery is tortured... btw my battery is swelling at the moment ^^ should buy a new one

2.2 can get pretty slow at times.
It has been 2 yrs, time for an upgrade.
The G1 has been stretched to its limits, it is now time to put the phone to rest.

I don't think 2.3 is available on AOSP yet. The CM crew won't start working on a gingerbread ROM until that's available and most of the ROMs for the G1 are based on CM.

think so too, but shall we buy sth now (desire hd/nexus s) or wait a tiny bit for the dual core phones (lg star and other unannounced ones)

Why is it so important for you guys to have 2.3...Face it, our G1s are just 2 year old devices. Jebus. Just get the money to buy a new phone, and then you can get gingerbread. So please stop making such pointless threads for a rom that will probably be unstable until 5 months after release.
We've lost all good dev support. The G1 ain't gonna get anything soon *goes back to play with hd2*

I'll post one just for you guys... gimme a few minutes
FYI its going to be a 2708 kernel since thats what I use atm

1) i dont want 2.3 - i was just wondering why there are no roms. when 2.2 came the whole forum was full of test roms and such. i am VERY confident with my MT3G-Port-2705
2)someone from google said, any phone that runs 2.2 should be able to run 2.3 if not better than they ran on 2.2
3)if the magic has a 2.3 rom the Dream has one , too!? or am i wrong?

You think it is SLOW!? No, not on my G1, if Your using CM6 or CM6.1 then YOU do not have the right settings, my phone was going slow with CM6 UNTIL I did this speed guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8397178&postcount=4048 then it was pretty smooth from what I remember. Since then I changed my ROM to the latest BiffMod and it was AMAZINGLY fast at default settings, I just changed a few settings just like I was suppose just like what it said in the install guide and installed setCPU and it was even faster. Then I changed my radio and SPL to the new ones that enable 15Mb of extra RAM and its EVEN FASTER than before with BiffMod. If you think that your G1 was slow running 2.2 then you either weren't using the right ROM or you didn't have the right settings. And I think I heard something about "Any phone that can run 2.2 can run 2.3 if not better." I forgot where I heard that at but I think it was on these forums.

Dude just wait a day or ummm two xD it will be out not by me xD but im running it and he's an awesome dev ^^

I just posted one

No, it's by far one of the best SO that my phone has had. Using the settings in my signature i get sometimes 52 Mb free, with the aid of kill memory optimizer in agressive settings my battery also last much longer.
Also if there is a 2.3 for Magic there is going to be for the Dream, since they share the same hardware minus the extra ROM that the Magic has.

3 - Magic has gingerbread port but for 6.35 radio (32A board), that's why Dream can't run it.

I find it funny how people argue over things that are subjective. 'Fast' and 'slow' don't actually mean anything, everyone's perception will be different, based on the other devices they have experience with...

I Had SuperCSDI v4, It flies just like my Froyo and it was my rom for really long time until SuperAtmel came with SuperEclair 8.8. I bet you have never tested one of his roms. Kill memory optimizer is for keeping memory priority on the apps that are on screen, foreground and the not to hungry memory ones on the background, just like donut.

New to MyTouch3g

Like the title says I am new to the Mytouch. I rooted my Sprint Hero about a month ago and I love what I was able to get out of it. My girlfriend seeing my happiness with it has since asked me if it would make her Mytouch run better. So basically she wants me to root her phone and add a good ROM. I have herard of cyanogen and all but what would be a good daily Rom for her. Just something quicker and better on battery. I know what setcpu can do for my phone. But whats the best for a MyTouch3g? Thank you in advance.

Depends how she uses her phone... what firmware she wants (1.6 or 2.1) and either Vanilla Donut or s Sense rom
Needs more details on exactly which MyTouch 3G it is, as right now there's 4 variants
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32B SPL (aka Magic 32B)
- MyTouch 3G (v1) with 32A SPL (aka Magic 32A)
- MyTouch 3G LE (Limited Edition Fender, 32A)
- MyTouch 3G 1.2 (32A with headphone jack)
The last two are essentially identical, and are currently the only two MyTouch 3Gs actively sold (other than any old stock of the v1), but is also the only ones that has no real custom roms, if you want to root the last two you have to read very carefully which procedure you're using since its not the same ones as the Magic 32B/A. For example the only real working rooting process is linked in my signature for the last two and currently limited to the stock rom as being the fully functional one.
As you're probably already aware with your Sprint phone... you shouldn't just blindly flash radios/boots etc as you find them cuz it wouldn't be hard at all to brick the Fender or MyTouch 3G 1.2, by flashing a radio intended for the older MyTouches (ie: any thread that talks about Magic 32A or 32B)
I would be looking for a 1.6 build. I wanna give her something daily/stable and usable. Vanilla is fine seeing thats what she is used to. I duno what version of the MYTouch it is I know its not a Fender and it doesnt have the 3.5 mm headphone jack. When she bought it it was 1.5 and like a day later it upped to 1.6. Like with my phone I am doing my research. Dont wanna brick her phone. She would kill me and cut me in my sleep.

Since it doesn't have the 3.5mm headphone jack on top, it would be the original MyTouch 3G, which leaves you a lot of options both 32A and 32B (though you'll see a lot more choices including Cyanogenmod for 32B).
If she were to downgrade back to the 1.5 rom, I think CM has a one-click-rooting capability.
Instructions can be found here. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
After completion should have a rooted 1.6 cyanogenmod rom.

In that case i think Cyanogen is perfect because it's stable and usually gets updated every month or so and not all the time every week got to flash a new update with new problems

New Life for Gumbo!

I've been playing with ROMS again. I've sampled most of the 2.1 based stuff and today I installed Gumbo 1.5 Overclocked, thanks to toast's Kernel to 767 mhz.
Instructions are here http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/10138-gumbo-1-5c-overclock.html
This is speedy and very stable! Think I'll stay on this until 2.1 gets official released and the magic gets worked on it.
I could never to go back to 1.5 (running Beezy 4 currently) after having 2.1 on my phone. I have no stability issues or speed concerns with this rom. Actually, that's a lie, I do. The Bluetooth on this sucks big time. Gumbo 1.5C will pair and work flawlessly with my Pioneer Avic D3 car stereo but I have yet to find a 2.1 rom that will. That is still not enough of a bugger to get me to go backwards though.

I was liking the idea of the overclocked 1.5 but what stopped me was no jit support for it. So back to 2.1. You are right though. It is fast. Then again so is 1.6 donut.
I'm too settled in to try it, but thanks for the info.
Sounds cool.

Like O..M..G...wipe me with a ROM
I've actually been thinking VERY seriously lately about going back to Gumbo 1.5c. This was the fastest and most stable ROM I ever ran. I simply couldn't resist trying out 2.1, and I got reeled in by it.
I absolutely love the new features that 2.1 brings to the table, but honestly, there are still a lot of bugs. Every 2.1 ROM I've run starts out pretty good, but after a few days, they all seem to slow down a lot. I have even run some overclocked 2.1 ROMs, and I still feel they are too slow for comfortable use.
I firmly believe that the Sprint 2.1 RUU leak is nowhere near final code. It's just way too slow to being anything that Sprint would be ready to put on tens of thousands of customer's phones. I think when we see the final Sprint release, there will most likely be a drastic uptick in speeds.

Thank you. This is my opinion exactly. What the DEVS have shown us with the work done on the 2.1 ROMS is just how awesome they will be once we get the official 2.1 release and the Kernel Source.
I may nandroid back to 1.5c this weekend and check it out.

Seriously? DONT encourage him.
I gave this a try with a pancake 0.1(based on gumbo 1.5c) i had. I have really been impressed. I have ran almost every 2.1 rom we have, darchdroid, damagecontrol, fresh, aloysius, fresh toast, ic3rom, sushi, and a few more im sure. I've been very impressed with the developers work, and I know they are working with an unofficial RUU. I share the opinion of an above poster, than I handle 2.1 for a few days, I love the new features, and it excites me when a new rom comes out, to see what new things the devs have incorporated, but i will probably stay with 1.5 until we get the source code/official update.
With that being said, this overclock patch on pancake 0.1 has been rock stable for me for 3 days now. Just today i flashed to the 1.5c overclock with BFS, and have been running it for about 12 hours, a bit faster. Absolutely no problems yet.
I couldn't be happier!
thanx guys. im glad everyones enjoying OC and BFS. good to see it reviving more then just the .27 eclair builds.
the only thing I couldn't give up is google nav
i thought about going back too, but these devs have spoiled me, i do still have the audio issues with almost all the leak roms even after the audio fix, i guess i just have that lucky phone
Sometimes old and busted is ok huh?

[ROM] WOOT fastest hero rom out there!!! I mean FASTEST!

hi all,
i just found one greaaaaaaaaaat hero rom.
its REALLY the fastest. and i mean REALLY.
i hate it when people say 'fast' 'stable' but this 1 is really FAST!
i tried them all but this one is unbelievable!
i made a video revieuw for you!

Download link is in the video description + link to the ROM.
Leave your comments below!
oh and people search crashes^^ but thats not a problem!

Well, it's not really a new ROM, but I haven't tried it until now...
I was always disappointed by the speed, incoming calls lag, and constantly reloading homescreen with sense ROMs. I will give it a try though! Thanks for your video!!
You are right, everyone tells he has the fastest ROM out there but in the end I got tired trying all ROMs - and maybe missed the real fast one...
One question: which sdcard and settings (partition, compcache, swap, etc.) do you use on your 32B running this rom?
Thanks!

That's right. But let's face it - our device IS old and at the end of the day it's just a phone - and as such it's good if it works as supposed (and don't miss calls bcause being too slow...). So we have to live with an old version and won't be able to get all the cool new features without getting a new phone...

actually some of the eclair roms work just as fast as cupcake. it all depends on how much it has been optimized for g1.
check out Super E
On video it looks really smooth, I'm downloading it right now. Let's try this thing out, I don't care if it's Cupcake, because IMO Cupcake Hero > Vanilla Eclair, only con is that many newer apps is not compatible with 1.5. But for me it's not an issue - I use very few and rather old apps, so it's not a problem for me at all . Flashing and giving feedback in few hours.

While I'm definitely not one to dispute the greatness of the Eclair on the g1 (and Froyo on it's big chested sister, the MyTouch) it needs to be understood that we are at an End of Days. Regardless of it's validity, the rumor that Gingerbread will require a 1Ghz isn't terribly far-fetched. And the state of newer Android phones shows that 1Ghz is quickly becoming the baseline, with newer and in production phones going even further. Maybe this Hero rom is out of date for running the newest apps, but hell, our phone is limiting that more than the OS is! So let's do the time warp, enjoy some majik from yesteryear, and be content knowing that we can still do amazing things with our Androids and marvel at what was created when we were still kings. For, someday, we must all retire our phones.
Everyone's waiting.

actually i think one of the main android dev team said 3.0 would work on the g1. its out this year, so not long to wait to find out
and froyo in its current form runs just about acceptably on it, so i think u should give our dear old g1 some credit its still got life in it yet
Yep, I also think that every hardware has its limitations and everything beyond 1.6 is a liitle too much for G1 (however CyanogenMod 6 is something like a miracle, it adds SO MUCH to the system, so much goodies and it runs nearly as good as Donut, one thing to improve is stability). We can port 2.1, 2.2, Hero Eclair and much more, but for what reason? Only to say "yep, it is possible" but not even 10% fast enough?
I'm so happy that even having the oldest Android device I can run almost everything that was realesed for any Android phone and I'm really thankful to all those devs, but sometimes we have to face the truth. If you want usable Sense ROM - it has to be Cupcake Sense.
So far - it's great! It runs very, very smooth! Not only that - it loads apps very quickly. I'm really happy for now. Let's see how's battery life and if it slows down after few hours. HTC improved Android very much with Sense. They've added many features not present in stock Android, and their Cupcake Sense is good enough to beat even vanilla Eclair. IMO ofc.

Probably.
But not yet. Trust that Cyanogen and his army of coders will crack the secrets and port the ROM.
But not yet.
On a related note, hooray for the 6.1 Stable release!
That is all.
which is more stable and fast, CM6.1 or MTtest3 ??

Think they're about the same. The MTTest3 is good but I prefer CM6.1 for all the extra goodies that come it it. CMParts etc.
Okey, I will try CM6.1.
I don't think android 2.3 will run fast as 2.2:
2.2 is a port of official froyo from mytouch3G, so it's very optimized.
I hope in android 2.3 on G1, I would try to develop something to port 2.3 but I don't know how can I do.. I think by the official sdk but.. mmh
(I'm a programmer but I never developed roms for phones)
Cyanogen said on Twitter that he currently has no plan to port 2.3, as the OS will most likely be GPU-driven.
Honestly, his 6.1.0 release is pretty great.

yeah but now our device is really going to be out of date. :/
Well I think it's about time to upgrade to G2 or Nexus S. There's lot of great phones out there. G1 is rocking long enough I think, it stopped to be fast and responsive from Donut update or so...

congratz. wrong thread and wrong section.
flash cm6.1
flash gapps
flash latest pershoot kernel
next time go to the right section and provide logs etc
I think we must try to port android 2.3 to our g1!
BTW if 2.3 is too slow for our phones, I'll stay on 2.2, no problems!
I'm waiting for a perfect phone:
slide qwerty
800x480px amoled/superAmoled/superLCD
ram>512
rom>1gb
slot SDXC rolleyes: )
cpu>1ghz (and good performance.. the number isn't sufficient )
possible cpu with dual core
excellent gpu
5mpx camera with flash and 720p 60fps recording (also 1080p 30fps would be perfect ) with good optic and NO HTC PINK HALO
google experience or sense
I ask too much?
Do you think I'll keep G1 for the rest of my life?
It can probably be adapted from the AOSP source, but since it has some new gui thingy w/e that is, it will never be the same on our devices, whats the point in downgrading from something that works quite well atm, 2.2.1
Cyanogen's cm6 isn't one of those roms which have the myTouch base of T-mobile. It's pretty much coded from the Nexus Rom and ASOP.

Point of updating to 2.3
Well, for me there's one big reason why I'd like to upgrade to 2.3 - Native SIP.
What I don't understand is why Native SIP hasn't been built-in from 1.0! Now there's a flood of poor and mediocre SIP apps on the market, none of which are very good.
I sure hope 2.3 comes to the G1!

But for now I can't see any developer works on 2.3..
When froyo and other old android upgrade has been released a lot of people began to develop test roms (in the beginning unusable roms )
Now I can't see nothing

yea, but there are divers from the mytouch, would have been foolish to keep using hacks when was real drivers out there.

Having just switched from MT3G-test3 to Cyanogen 6.1, I would have to say they're pretty comparable. If you put my feet to the fire, I'd say MT3g-test3 is slightly faster, especially in regards to installing apps from the market. But the goodies available in Cyanogen are so good that...
Aargh, it's hard to decide. I have a nandroid+ext of both, so I can swap back and forth at will. I might spend a few days with each to see which one I enjoy using more, and report back. One thing making it harder... I have a white G1, which historically has had problems with Cyanogen. But the latest seems to be working a lot better than previous releases.

Don't worry, Google has only released Android 2.3 yesterday. Give the developers some time!

HTC sense on mes....

I came from the desire because of the internal storage capacity and battery life but the default rom is the ugliest thing I have seen in my life and for a first time droid owner they might think it is the best thing . the standard rom Isn't 2.2 but even the interface is bad so my question is has anybody flashed a HTC sense hased rom or alike to the mez yet and if so what guide did you use
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
There is no HTC sense rom for the fascinate or mes
Just use launcherpro or adw. I doubt it is even possible to have an actual sense rom because sense is so ingrained in the core android... it probably wouldn't work.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
But it could be ported quite easily as they both have the same everything besides radios and displays so I guess its a cook your own rom with the mes displays and radios
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
When I say same everythings I mean same storage and memory mappings even though the mes has 1.5gig rom and less ram than the desire
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Touchwiz is horrible, use Launcher Pro
Like i was saying out of the many Droid phones I have had most recently the desire HTC sense has been the best as I am not interested at all in something that consumes the weak ram on this phone it is highly inadequate and for a newer phone with such large display and shared memory you would think it would have at least double the ram. status Droid reports 2/3rds the resources the last phone had. So I do believe when I get the time I will venture into cooking Droid roms for myself. On a positive note of the mes the screen is awesome keyboard size is better but all of that can be edited in the image mappings of anything

Who's "they?" Considering you said you came from a HTC Desire, are you saying the Desire and Mesmerize have the "same everything?" In which case, you'd be no where close to correct.

Well your Highness, given your highly superior intellect and standards for which these phones must live up to, you'd think you'd be smart enough to check out the specs before you bought one.
Without starting a war as far as Droid is concerned all storeage memory and everything but the chipsets. Are the same most of which are supported internally by Droid with the exception of the radio/wifi and display interfaces. And as for your total useless post to bump,flame or raise your post count. You did nothing to add to the conversation. Lastly not Highness here but the sense roms have been a crowd pleaser and it is no secret that the mez has very little memory to run all the neato Samsung features

no it cant....
just forget it, put it out of your head.
it has been tried and tried and tried on so many other phones.
just forget it, if you want HTC sense you should have stayed with the desire or went with another carrier.

Says who? I came from the Hero which comes stock with Sense and the majority of the ROMs in the Hero community and the most popular ones were not Sense based. Sense is okay, nothing wrong with it, but it is far from anything spectacular.
AFAIK HTC Sense it tied to the hardware in each particular HTC phone. I am just speculating but I think they have some hardware markers in there that simply will not let sense work without it. Without hacking the entire framework AND the hardware you wont get it working..
If it could be done, then Froyo Sense Roms and Sense Apps would be available on EVERY other Android device apart from HTC's by now right here on this very forum. The fact that they aren't should tell you that its not possible or is way too much work to be deemed feasible..
Its as simple as that... oh and for the record, I hated Sense.. it was a bloated framework.. Sure its nice for new users as its easy (hence the point) but I'd take a clean ROM with Launcher Pro and Beautiful Widgets over it ANY day.
The only time I've seen sense on a phone that it didn't come with was when I installed android on the HTC touch and there was a hero rom installed and of course you can imagine it was quite sluggish but I haven't seen any other phones, at least not android native phones that were non HTC phones with a sense rom

Well said v! And I agree that touchwiz isn't great but root the phone and use launcher pro as sage said. There are other launchers out there. I personally use adw launcher. Try those out see what you think they are highly customizable play around and I bet you get a setup you enjoy. Or if you have add like me just change it every other day
Sense is OK, what I think anyone who may have come over to the Mesmerize from the Desire might be missing is the general speed and responsiveness of the stock HTC Sense ROM. It feels a lot faster than the Mesmerize does stock. We have both and the stock FroYo ROM for the Sense is considerably more responsive than the FroYo ROM + Voodoo for the Mez. Hopefully we can see some speed improvements when Sammy and USCC get us a true stock FroYo ROM. Why they did what they did with the filesystem is beyond me, but it's annoying that it saps so much performance from the phone.

Never even bothered to look up until now. Considering I had a awesome interface etc. But the search begins.

Of course it was fast but even the interface. if the desire had more internal storage better battery life i would have stayed with it. as for the battery life a simple flashing to another radio prob would have helped with the battery but as for the internal storage.... so small..
The new FroYo ROM seems to really help with battery life on the Desire. But yeah... The internal memory is what kept me away from it. I won't be buying another Samsung phone, that much is certain.

A simple flash to another radio? Ha. Yeah, I'm sure that would've worked out in a well bricked phone.

Depends on the radio/phone combo that you are trying to use. I've flashed four different radios to my Mesmerize and have not had a problem. I don't recommend it, but it can be done if you know what you are doing.
