best rom for MT3G 32b?

what is the best rom for the MT3G right now.
I tried cyanogen 3.9.11.2 and seems like it has intermitant problems unlocking the screen were it will blink horizontal lines and then after a few times then unlock fine. Seems to happen more with the device when it is warm
I have also tried both v1.3 jacxrom builds and the full v3 hero and works fine when first booted but when I lock the screen and unlock it looks like the screen is overlayed with another copy of itself but a little to the right. Almost taking one verticle line of pixels and switching it wiht the row next to it in pairs al the way across the screen. Any ideas on which one I should be running.

The new Cyanogen 4.1 that just came out is absolutely amazing. I just flashed it over on my MT3G today and have had no troubles. It's a must have.

Do you have all the tmobile apps that came with the mytouch (myfaves etc...)
Im still trying to decide whether or not to root. I have rooted "jailbroken" my iphone. Is rooting give you the same benefit as jailbraking? I mainly used the jailbreak for denied apps from the app store, themes, and tethering. Tethering is not so important (unless I'm traveling haha)

Same idea and then some. Cyan does not include myFaves in his builds but it can be added. Check the G1 forum where he posts his ROMS. I saw a post about it the other day but can't remember where. Search. When in doubt, ROOOOOOT!!! No other way to use Android IMO.

So the myfaves app that came with my mytouch ("Magic" I like that name so much better btw mytouch sounds so girly) can't be pushed to me by tmobile. I happened to me once where it completely disappeared from my phone and cs refreshed my myfaves and i got it within 5 min. I guess its not a big deal if I can download it. How about the other apps like youtube, android market; will they work as they would on a non rooted mytouch?
The main thing stopping me from rooting is that I can't return it to the original factory state like I could for my iphone. Not sure how stuff works on android (im still a noob with this OS) but on the iphone it wasn't a big deal to jailbreak as it just modifies just a small part of the OS to allow non apple approved apps/themes etc... but with this its like it flashes a whole different OS. How about all the new updates like donut etc...that we will get ota. I guess the devs here will include all those features in their new ROMs (as they are doing now) so that is not such a big deal.
Thanks for the quick answer btw.

Sorry for not answering your response as quickly as the first answer. I can't speak for the iPhone but the G1/myTouch (I have both) are a MUST root IMO. I think having total control over the phone and OS is so important. As far as Market, YouTube, etc. they all work. Every app works, as far as I am concerned and I have 225 apps (all paid for if they weren't free) installed. As far as updates are concerned, the devs here are months ahead of Google and TMO. Cyanogen (best ROMs here, IMO, if you aren't into Hero and things like that) already has some Donut stuff in his stable 4.0.1 ROM and adds quite a bit of cool features in his experimental ROMs. You can also add bits from other devs if Cyan doesn't include something you like. Cyan does not include myFaves (I forget why) but it can be added after. Just search around for that. Even without the app on your phone, you can always update them online and still make free calls to your faves. It just won't show on the phone, that is unless you have the "after market" app installed. Hope this helps. And like I said, root is absolutely the way to go. Nothing frightening. In fact, I feel more comfortable with tools like Nandroid built-in so I can always restore my phone if/when I mess something up or install and unstable ROM/theme. I flash almost daily for that reason.

wow dude you have been a lot of help, I feel a lot more about rooting now (wow you flash almost everyday haha awesome). I think I'm gonna try it tonight haha.
So I wont need to restore to the original shipped state if I ever need to do a warranty claim?
oh yeah so should I flash cyanogen 3.9.X.X or 4.0.1 ( I know 3.9.X.X has some donunt features but its experimental...but is it better?)

so far JACxHero is my fav rom

So it looks like sense ui from the hero? I heard all those roms are slow due to the ram limitation on the mytouch (192mb) vs the hero (288mb)
btw I have a class 2 card too as of right now so that is good to know

JACxHero is not a hero port its a regular cupcake with hero type theme and htc music port try it out have nothing to lose really

So to flash it all I have to do it to do the 1 click root method and flash that rom? (not sure where to get it btw)
How about when i want to change roms what do I do?
do I do a nandroid backup every time i switch roms?

I am a noob, but if you use search option you will find out that JacHero needs latest Radio and SPL which is 2005. One click method doesnt change it. I still have 2006, "perfect".

you can always use the old method just follow the instructions step by step don't feel discourage ... but you must and i repeat follow each step ... one... by ..one

Ah thanks for the info. I think i'll flash with cyanogen's rom since I currently don't have another micro sd card to do the old method

Im still on Ivan's Official...am I using an outdated ROM?

All I really want is the fastest, most stable ROM available. Are there better options? It needs to be able to tether, too; I'm using PdaNet right now and it's working flawlessly.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, opinions and advice.

You're using as up-to-date software as thousands and thousands of non-rooted Eris owners. The *core* of the OS, Android 2.1, is current. Sure, you can get Android 2.2 on your phone but it's not really ready for prime-time yet.

Ya, just flash Zanfurs OC kernel if you want to have more accurate settings and you should be good. And by the way, PDAnet lets you tether with any rom, as far as actually tethering without pdanet then the ivan rom should do the trick though I never tried it myself.

I use this configuration EXACTLY.
I also use wifi tethering a lot around the house for my gf's laptop.
I have gone to EVERY popular ROM out there for at least a couple of days. I keep going back to SenseUI if a ROM doesn't have it, and I keep coming back to Ivan's when I get to SenseUI. EvilEris was the second longest ROM I ever had, almost a month. Was finished with Sense crashing, and the De-Odex'd stuff (no room in the /data/ area, phone kept running out of memory, and no I don't like A2SD).
Ivan's and PDANet ftw.

You can try tnoobs it is a stock ROM, a revamp of plainjane. It has the perks and is quick.

- +1 - Tried them all, including the Froyo scene - very buggy! Ivan's is the standard of reliability and reasonable speed. I use PdaNet and Wireless. The only other ROMs that seems to be as stable and add an effective Apps2SD is Fresh 3.0 and XTR-Sense 3.03.

[ROM][DEAD] Retro1 v2 - "Is it a Dream? No, it's a Freken Cupcake!"

This is no longer supported.
So, one day Kaos pointed out an old beta build, and this got me to looking around at old ROMs. I took a look at JF1.5. Vanilla Cupcake! It's a nice ROM, but was difficult to port. So, I said to myself... Tainted Cupcake! Here is the result.
Thanks to:
JesusFreke for, well, too much to list.
Kaos for the inspiration.
Hoban for the inspiration.
almost everyone in the IRC channel for teaching me something
dsixda for cranking out an awesome Kitchen, day after day
Anyone who has ever posted DETAILS to XDA about how to do things.
All devs for your time.
Both of you who want to go back to Android 1.5.
EDIT:I almost forgot Captainkrtek who did some early testing for me. (Did I get that in before he ban
The base ROM is a stock Eris 1.5 ROM that jcase put 'su' and 'superuser' in, but I won't thank him since he said not to.
What you get:
1) Android 1.5 base from HTC
2) su and Superuser (rooted)
3) deodexed
4) png optimization (most apks anyway)
5) zipaligned
6) most of Sense removed, much like the 'Tainted' ROMs
7) most remaining HTC apps have a Vanilla look and feel (at least the icons)
8) stability
9) responsive user interface
10) wireless and wired tethering (I haven't tested the wired yet though.)
11) bash and nano
12) 'Everything' should work.
What doesn't and never will work:
1) Marketplace apps that require Android 1.6+
2) any feature that requires Android 1.6+ (Live Wallpapers, for instance)
Other features this DOES NOT HAVE:
1) Cyanogen goodies
2) OC, UV, and other kernel tweaks
3) Apps2SD
4) any kind of Yogurt
TO-DO:
1) disable OTA updates - I renamed the ota cert file, but it still gets the update...
2) setup the initial home screen better - I've tried changing that in the Launcher.apk, but have yet to get it to work.
I highly recommend Connectbot for a terminal app, but v496 works best on this ROM.
Just so I'm clear, this is a really basic and clean ROM. There are not a lot of extra features. However, the battery life is really good because of this.
DO NOT install the Verizon OTA update. It will most likely unroot your phone. v2 won't ask anymore
DOWNLOAD:
http://surrette.org/roms/Retro1-v1.zip
http://surrette.org/roms/Retro1-v2.zip
What I did:
1) loaded up the base Eris 1.5 ROM in the Kitchen
2) looked at the Tainted Vanilla Kitchen to find the script used to remove Sense components
3) ripped that part of the script out and ran it to remove Sense
4) compiled AOSP Cupcake (using Android Builder) and copied several apps from there into ROM
5) tested and found AOSP MMS would FC, so I put HTC's back
6) tested and found that AOSP Cupcake's Email app does not have Exchange support, so put HTC's back in.
7) opened up several apks with APK Manager and replaced HTC's icons with icons from Vanilla apps
8) opened up Launcher and attempted to change res/xml/default_workspace.xml, but testing afterward always failed
9) also grabbed a handful of open source binaries from here and there, but really haven't used them much yet
10) zipped, signed, and uploaded the ROM
11) NOTE: While this is version 1, it's probably the 30th or more build that I have actually built and tested. Fun times.
12) v2 - removed Systemupdater.apk (thanks tenzomonk!) and a couple of things left over from testing (CorpCal & Vanilla Contacts)
13) v2 - added several tweaks from the forum and KaosFroyo's *.rc files (vm.dalvik.heap=32m and some possibly power saving tweaks)
I have been running some variation of this for most of the last two weeks, except for one day that I tried a Froyo ROM. While I am admittedly easy to please, I have had no issues that haven't been worked out by now.

Why not? I'm DLing now. Gonna try tonight.

Its about darn time you cooked us a rom lol

I just flashed this a while ago and so far i like this rom but i couldn't place a call, sync with google, there's no gallery, and none of my music would show up. I also just caught that there's no calendar app right before i was about to post this. Other than those problems, everything seems fast and smooth.
Update: just reflashed and phone is now working, music showing up, and google synced all my contacts.

I'm glad it started working for you. As I said in the OP, I've had no issues. (Of course, I'm just one tester.) You are going to miss some things that you would have with a newer version of Android, but it should just work. And the battery life is really good.

Congrats on the release!

I've started grabbing the logcat while it boots to work out any possible issues. It's crazy stable already though. And I haven't put it on the charger since yesterday morning and still have %60+. That's by far the best battery life this thing has had in a long while.

Don't you miss the extra features of 2.0+ though? The amazing battery life you described sounds great but I feel like rolling back from 2.2 to 1.5 would be tough to deal with lol.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I change ROMs at least every couple of weeks though. So, I'll have those features again soon enough. This is just another fun learning experience for me and a chance to put something out there that is different than any thing else. I like to be different. And shake things up a little. That's just how I roll. Wait until I really understand what I'm doing!
There might actually be a handful of people who really like this ROM and use it daily. Although I'm sure that it won't get the user base of some of the others, but so what...
<JOKE>
Maybe next I'll make a ROM that just has the phone/dialer app with all of this bluetooth, wifi, gps, market, data connection crap disabled. That would be awesome. I'll call it 'Startac'. </JOKE>

Cyanogen 6 on HTC Dream - Things to avoid?

Hey guys,
Just modded my HTC Dream with CM6, and it seems pretty cool.
I read somewhere that you should partition the SD card? Something about ext2 to ext3? Can anyone comment on that?
Also, read that you need to be careful installing themes because it could brick the phone? Does that mean full themes, not just wallpapers?
Anything else I should be cautious of?
Thank you in advance

ext2 is optimal for this application. ext3 will just wear out your card faster. You don't necessarily need an ext partition on the card though -- only if you want to install applications to the sdcard without using that horrible froyo2sd nonsense that google added.
Themes won't brick the phone unless they overwrite things that they most definitely have NO REASON to be overwriting. Having said that, EVERY theme is horribly ugly compared to how it looks without messing with it. JUST LEAVE IT ALONE!

I also have a problem with Goggles (downloaded it from Market). It starts up, goes through the tutorial, and then when I advance to start it, it just hangs.
Any ideas?

Because it is a memory hog, unstable, and slow. They're trying to please everyone with ever nonsense request, and it really has bloated into a monster. The tmobile magic 32b froyo image (as converted for DREAM) is an excellent 2.2 build, extremely fast and stable. Just tweak to suit.

Hi,
I'm sorry I am brand new to all of this, just yesterday I rooted my g1 (first time) and installed CM6. I like it but it is running a bit slow and I am having a few issues with 3g.
If CM6 isnt all that great, could you link me to a good rom/setup please (preferably with installation instructions)? I was trying to find what is good at this point but for 2 hours now can not figure out which rom to get at this date. Is zx donut v3.0 a good candidate? Its been popping up a lot
p.s. I am getting a g2 in 2 weeks and passing this phone to a friend, wanna give him the best setup possible,
Thanks for your time
Edit -just installed Super F 1.0 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799693, seems to be a lot faster than CM6, op might wanna give it a shot It is definitely not as good looking as CM, also few of CM features that were nice are missing, but it seems to run much better so far!
But if you guys can suggest something better (doesn't have to be froyo) I'd appreciate it

I appreciate your answer. Well, to be honest I am not 100% satisfied with how CM6 runs on my G1/dream. I thought I configured it wrong. I agree with the poster iokke, I'd like to know which setup still runs smooth on the dream. I need a usable and reliable phone. Sure. the features of CM6 are really nice but what price to pay for it?

to the op:
try this rom, it was updatied in October of this year, just installed it, but so far is running fine on my phone, and its froyo + has themes (you can find them from the installation page link)

A cool thing about these ROM (given that I am a noob) - my g1 seems to be running on the H network now without me having to do anything
Another mod worth looking at, that I have not tried so far, also updated last month is the Sparksmod 1.4, you can find it here:

Not sure which one of the two is faster, though I read somewhere that the Sparksmod is the faster one. This is also froyo, but havent tried this one yet

The H icon is a cosmetic tweak, that was put into CM6 or 6.1 onwards, your phone has been accessing the same speeds before, it just wasn't doing the icon change when it went to the higher speeds.
I have always had trouble and lagginess with 2.2 on my G1, even after a full system wipe, so I'm rockin 5.0.8 at the moment, and it flies. I just miss custom LED notifications, though I have yet to try the official TMO 2.2.
If you make nandroid backups from recovery, you should have no fear if you want to mess around with different roms or flashing themes .

Thanks, time to go read nandroid backup for noobs))
One question, with Danger SPL installed for Froyo ROMs, can I go back to donut ROMs and simply flash them, or should I remove it somehow??

I'm pretty sure you won't have to change the SPL anymore except for very special roms. Just make sure you do a full wipe from recovery after a backup, for new roms to ensure that there aren't any lingering problems.

I have been really enjoying EZTerrys new kernel with biffmod. fast. seems to be stable. LOTS of features (Overclock added =]). i was restarting my phone 3 times a day on CM6 and now once in the morning is ok for the whole day. also, when i used super F, the camera didnt work.

Ty, I'm flashing Froyo 2.2.1 for T-Mobile G1 " Froyo for Trout right now to see how it goes, but I will also try the EZ Terry

It's The Craziest Thing

Like an intelligent flashaholic, when I first rooted my phone, waaaaaaay back over 2 years ago, the firs thing I did was make a backup of my stock/rooted setup, then saved a copy on my computer. Every few months, I'll nandroid back, update any apps that need to be, then make a new, updated Backup.
Lately, I've been having a lot of problems with my phone, trying to run Jellybean ROMS, which has been a disaster. Even ruinning Kendall's Jellybread ROM, I have some issues with lagginess, occasional Force Closes, etc.
Yesterday morning, my phone was basically not usable, and not having time to play with anything because of work, I just flashed back to my stock/rooted ROM, updated it and have been running pure stock since. The weird thing is, it's the best my phone has run. Smooth, fast, everything working (Of course this is still Froyo, but still). It's just really ugly as hell, but it's amazing how smooth everything is.
OK, time to flash a ROM.....

I think if the stock ROM wasn't so ugly, then we'd have no use for customized ROMs. It's one of those things that allows us geeks to shine...

You know I have never even seen the stock froyo rom. Evo had already upgraded to gingerbread by the time I got mine. Maybe you could let me try out your stock froyo rom? ROFLMFAO!!!!!!! Heck maybe someone out here has a cupcake or donught I could use also. Then we could have a retro rom.

Hey hip, got a suggestion for your next flash.
Do your backup thing, wipe as usual, then flash rom.
Only this time before you reboot, push your log to sd. Then view it after everything is done...
Reason im saying this is mine would be fine then not...when I pulled the log fron recovery it actually showed that I had bad memory blocks an it was unable to repair/format/fix them..
Now my phone was and is usable still...but I cant flash all the roms. Only one that 100% worked was mazwoz.
So its just a thought bro, figured I'd share what I found. And without pulling the log I would have never seen it.

I pull the log most of the time myself and I also have bad blocks in multiple partitions. I have yet to have it cause any issues with any of the roms I flash. Also can I help you take over the world?!! Love me some pinky and the brain.

Lol, sometimes I forget that signature is there cuz I cant see it on Tapatalk. One of the Nocturnal guys made that for me.
Anyway, the roms would mostly flash on my phone. But some just didn't. I was testing rom for soap, tronit, an shaggy an none booted for me but worked fine for others.
Then I flashed say jmz rom an it worked fine. I started to notice that things weren't working.

Thanks. I was actually very concerned, but running the Hybrid MIUI we're releasing and it's fast as hell

Yes I mostly use the app so I don't get to see the cool signatures. Since I started doing the dev work I am on the PC more and must say there are a bunch of cool ones out now.

Heck if you think it is fast now just wait I have a couple more tricks left to pull out my hat. You ever run an odexed miui? Yes I will release a first ever (that I know of) odexed miui rom. This thing is crazy fast and get this all the apps that I preinstall will also be odexed so it will rocket like you have never seen. Just stand back and be amazed at the fastest miui to ever grace the og evo!!

Are MIUI mtz's universal or device specific?

I they are universal. I have some on my pc that i used on both the og and 3vo that my ex gf had.
FYI I dumped the preinstalled ics theme. So now any theme will install for the die hard miui user and the black ice mtz will be installed on the sdcard. The jb launcher is no longer default you can choose on boot which one you want. Now to get the ICS effect you go into settings themes and choose black ice. If you use the jb launcher you will need to go under launcher settings and reboot launcher. Now everything looks ics even the lockscreen.
