[Q] Going back to 1.6.. - G1 General

Hi All,
Currently I'm using Cyanagoen 6, on my G1 but finding although it works.. it's forever running low on memory and trying to close tasks etc so I'm going to make life easy on the fella and go back to 1.6 and make things easy for it for the rest of its existance..
Just curious if there are likely to be any issues, or whether I can just re apply the DreamIMG.nbh I did early in the rooting process and that will be all I need to do.
Cheers,

Applying dreamimg.nbh will bring back to RC29, which can be, hopefully, will be updated to stock 1.6 over the air. You would loose your root and all of your info. Much better way would be to just flash one of 1.6 roms. I suggest Super-D1.9.3, then just remove the features you don't need. That's what I had for the last 6 months or so, fast enough, super stable, no ptoblems at all.
Good luck.

NO! Do not use DREAIMG.nbh, it'll revert EVERYTHING (along with SPL and recovery) to stock, so you'll be left with Android 1.0 and no root. Sure, you can apply official updates to it (and not only OTA, flashing official zips through stock recovery will also work), but why don't you try one of ROMs based off Donut (I recommend SuperD or TheOfficial, they're very smooth and with that they're providing you with extra goods)?

Went back to stock.. the got the OTA update.. It will do for now till I upgrade...
The G1 is only used for development really so it will be fine as is.. certainly helped going back as now not running out of memory constantly..
Thanks for replies.

[Q] Some questions regarding new update and rooting.

Hello.
I've rooted my phone a while back and currently have Recovery 3.0.2.4. Everytime I try to install a new ROM, i go into a boot-loop and I have to reload my Froyo based ROM.
I've just read that Gingerbread came out on the MT4G and I was wondering if its worth un-rooting my phone (if thats possible), to get this update. I'm not making much use of ROMs because I always get bootloops. This is probably due to the fact that I never have a version that works on both Froyo and Gingerbread based ROMs as I don't know where to find one.
If you guys were in my situation, what would you do?

The newest 3.x.x.x Recovery image will handle both 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs. Are you verifying the MD5SUM of the download prior to flashing them?
I don't know exactly how to do that. I don't see Md5 sums on ROM manager, where I'm attempting to download the C7 Mod.

[Q] Quick help please

I want to revert my Iconia back to STOCK 3.1 rom + root and STOCK Kernel. I am currently running honeyvillians oc kernel with the stock rom and the Google + theme. I am not quite happy how I have it set to run and am sick of monkeying with it.
I did a nand backup under backup and recovery, but am not sure if that will put my kernel back to stock as well. If so, just let me know and I will restore it then problem solved.
Problem is:
PC crashed with my backups of the stock rom and stock kernel (not my nand backup unless that got wiped flashing the new rom/kernel)
How do I go about reflashing the stock kernel without causing major issues (I really don't need to brick this like I did to my HTC Glacier...... ) if thats the case. Can anyone provide the correct links to said stock rom and stock kernel or can I just grab the rom off the link below and go to town.
To those who would answere do a search... I have ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189461&page=2 ) and I really want to make sure I get this right. Thats why I am posting this and asking for help from "the pros."
I passed my noobness just a little while back and am kinda afraid to screw up (again) I have flashed many different rom cooks to this beast but only once the kernel and that is what I am afraid to touch again.
Geeze this is a long post. Sorry everyone.
KK love peace and chicken grease yall.

Ill be straight to the point.. most of us have been using cm9 which is ics 4.0.0 since august 2012,each week, well sometimes every two weeks, since they are missing weeks. Cm9 is a nightly, which means there are bugs and issues, since teh rom is not stable. However, most of the problems have been fix and I have had not had any real issues with it, I do use it day to day, till a new custom rom (based off a previous cm9 nightly release) comes out that I want to try. but the roms has come a long way since build 1.
If something went wrong? like you bricked your phone. There is two ways.. create a back up in cwm before you flash cm9... or you can used kdz, which is used to recovery your phone if your brick it or you want to upgrade or download your firmware.
Also please give me more info about your phone. Like what baseband you are using, what country etc.
Also there are some stock custom roms, which are modified version of stock (2.3.6). With features like 1000 GHz overclock,new launcher,file manager and other useful tweaks/mods

. Are you taking about using the SDMerg Mod to increased your memory? I dont have a problem with it, I can transfer video,music and images to my phone... as well as apk files.

Upgrade to the latest firmware using the Lg firmware site. Also make sure you do a back up when you install cmw, before you flash cm9. Also you might want to download the 1GHz Kernel, even if you dont plan to overclock, it will get rid of the battery bug on start up.

OS replacement vs 'de-bloated' stock ROM?

Scanning the forum today, I came across this:
[ROM] Z.A.D.Mix7 -Stock Base Rom-
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It looks like it would solve all the issues I'm having with my A7:
Enable multi-user mode
Enable on-screen buttons
Replace ZTE's built-in apps.
Is this a safer route to go in general than installing Cyanogenmod (when it's ready)? I've got CM on my Nexus 4, and yes, there's nice stuff there that's probably not here, but is a de-bloated stock ROM more likely to be bug-free? More likely for the camera and sound system to work fully? Also, will a debloated ROM allow for OTA updates - or allow for them to be sideloaded? I guess I'm asking, if I were to install this, what would be the procedure to get Nougat once ZTE comes out with it? Wipe and re-flash? Or wait for a de-bloated ZTE nougat ROM and flash that?
In order to flash a ROM on your axon 7 you need to unlock your bootloader which causes your warranty to be void and you can no longer receive OTA updates. Also if you are running a custom ROM you will have to wipe your phone before flashing an OTA update. However if you are running the stock rom you will probably only need to flash the update. I've tried both CyanogenMod and Z.A.DMix7 and honestly Z.A.DMix7 is definitely the way to go. In my experience using Z.A.DMix7 it seemed to be as stable as the stock rim and didn't have any major bugs. The only problem I had with it is that since it it rooted there is no way to log into Snapchat. How ever if you don't want root I think there may be an way to remove root from the ROM however I haven't tried it so I'm not sure if it'll work.
I use the debloated rom with android n-ify, xStana, and gravitybox and it is much better than the stock rom. I haven't tried the cm rom. You would have to flash the stock rom and recovery to get OTA updates.

I'd like to reset like everything on my ZE552KL

Hi all,
I went from a Nexus 4 on witch I had Cyanogenmod and it was really nice because of the root and OTA updates.
But I had a Zenfone 3 then. Cool phone, for sure, but the OS was ugly compared to CM, and of course not rooted.
So, one day on my Zenfone 3 I tried to install a custom rom, following advises I got on this forum and a French forum. It turned out pretty bad, I had to go back to stock quickly for a daily use. It was so complicated I don't even remember what I did or how I did unlock the bootloader, but I think I used the official unlocker (really not sure).
Since, when I boot the device, I have a black screen with white text, telling me I have to press the power button to finish the boot operation. It's maybe a small detail but I try to be as accurate as I can. The rom is a stock rom, here the information I get about it in the information panel : OPR1. 170623.026.WW_Phone-15.0410.1803.55
So, as the boot looks messed up (even if everything works with no problem) and pretty old, I'd like to have a fresh and clean install. Wiping everything and, if possible, having the possibility of OTA updates and rooting the rom. I'd prefer a custom rom as I don't really like Asus official roms, but I also need to have a stable phone.
Could someone tell me what Rom I should choose, and help me doing this ? It looks super hard compared to the Nexus 4 custom roms installs, so I don't want to ruin my phone by being a moron and do stupid things
Thank you for any help you could give me here.
