what should i do first anyone wanna help me here??? what are good apps, or roms to try and stuff. new to android just looking for some help.
my idiot friends did it i signed in on his comp
start by looking in the guide wiki page read everything you cn in there so that you completely understand what you are doing. then the first thing to do is root.
use the pre-kitchen. it's the easiest way to get root on your phone.
find it in the ROMS sticky wiki.
ROMs are also in the sticky wiki. i'd say go with fresh 1.1 or gumbo 1.5c for now, and when you get a better knowledge of what's going on then maybe test on like 2.1 and stuff.

What are the differences between theses roms there are a lot to choose from ?
TIA
to be honest I have no idea, but they will be older stuff, so more than likely wont be has useful to everyday users. But if something happens to your device, you have the stock versions there where you can downlaod and restore to device.
But I am not an android developer and i have never looked into the files, and so I can not tell you what the difference is.
Just saw you post this on twitter too, thanks conflipper

yea me too id hate to lose my root
Already downloading it, haha, I'm running the leaks so no problem with root here
Someone asked me to load it up.
It appears to be the same one that is on this site
THIS SITE
So I would not recommend doing this, cause it looks like it will UNROOT your device.

O well nevermind then, Thanks anyways though con.
I think you should probably rename it to "leak2" or something, as to not confuse anyone
OKay, thanks for the tip it is done, I really wasnt sure what was in the file, so I just took the file name has it was.

Not unless you did a nand backup.
yeah just boot to recovery and do a Nandroid restore of the back up you made. Assuming you did this like every ROM thread warns you to.
yes i did the nandroid backup but if i restore the backup will i still have to rom??
You can start by reading the forums and learn what you're doing before you do it.

really man you should read up on this stuff, go to the DamageControl thread and read about it. do a search and see what other people have said about it. 99% of the roms YOU are going to be dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations.
yeah but how am i suppose to learn about it when i dont know what "dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations" even means. How does that help me??
xxxk15 said:

Because you have your Contacts set as Google and not phone, and you back up your apps with Titanium Backup.
Before you ask how to do either of those things, read the little book that came with your phone. It will tell you how to backup your contacts to Google.
Search the Hero forums for what Titanium backup is, and how to use it.
ok thanks!!

there are very few people who will hold your hand and walk you through these very easy to follow steps. READING about what is included in a rom, which i will tell you is ALWAYS on the first page of said rom's thread will tell you everything about that rom that you need or want to know. There are places to look up all the answers to your questions. here is a good place to start...

aaand...im out. before the tridant falls on my head, again.
Ok I'm a noob Hero owner so I'll attempt an answer.
When you turned on your phone for the very first time, after you got over the shock of how cool and awesome it was, I assume you either signed in with or created a google account.
Now after you flash a new ROM especially one that requires a factory wipe of all data, you will have to do that again. Your contacts and email and calendar will all resync to your phone courtesy of the fine folks at google.
As for the apps. Titanium backup seems to be the way to go no muss no fuss.
Holy crap. I've been on these forums for quite a while. I've had three different phones that I've used these exact forums as a resource for modding, rooting, or what have you with all three of them. I've never needed to post a single thing. I will use this opportunity to make my first post, and say:

You can have a camera just not the android camera go to the market and download (Camera Magic)

I like Camera Magic better. It is faster, more resolutions to chose, and full screen viewing.
why 2.0.1...?
If I were u I'll go straight for the gold with
2.1 I like it better try kingklik.

lol, there's really no "best" ROM. It all depends on what you want. If you're a noob you would probably want to try out something stable and CM's will be the first stable & fully functional 2.1 release for the G1. I might recommend waiting for that. In the meantime you should probably root your phone if you haven't already and install a 1.6-based ROM. (Almost all of them are stable - you can pick just about any of them.)
when is that coming out? And how do I root it is there a tutorial?
Im guessing you don't know much about this don't you?

Alright let's begin shall we.
This Youtube video will get you into the root procedure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8F7FVISb7w

Now once you do that you will need to find a nice stable, quick ROM.
Search : Super D, Cyanogen, or Zach and Xillus200.
Heey guys, first topic here

You shouldn't have deviated from stock in the first place. I would even go as far to say you shouldn't have even rooted your phone. You're going to get flamed....... You should have searched, and that tutorial is pretty basic. Figure the **** out

However, I will admit that "tutorial" makes my eyes bleed. I cringe every time I have to link to it.

Click the link in my signature.
Instead of the zip files in my thread, download the zip file from the shipping ROM thread (" You may get the Original Shipping Image from HERE or thru Modaco HERE. [22607 build] ").
before going back to stock i recommend trying cm.5.0.6 rom, its 10x better then stock.
This may not be to your liking, but why not go with Cyanogen? Its UI is optimized for the Nexus One. Combined with HelixLauncher it's even more kick a$$.
Maybe i should try cyanogen
I heard that its really good :] And it is full version? not alpha like desire ROM, right? :]

they're not buggy but compared to cyan the battery life just sucks. I don't think many people use those ROMS as their primary OS.
Hey all, just recently picked up a used MT4G. Before I do anything to it, I'd like to start from scratch and just reinstall the most recent stock software, make sure anything the previous owner did is cleaned up.
I have no experience with Android and would love if someone could point me in the right direction, perhaps with some directions.
Thanks a ton!

Sounds good to me...where do I start?
The best bet is to do a factory reset. If you haven't done so yet then go to settings then SD and phone storage. Then select Factory data reset.

I was able to get a lot of help from some great people last night. Phone is now rooted, kernel'd and ROM'd!
