Best current 2.1 ROM for G1?

Is there a working 2.1 ROM for the G1 which has Live Wallpapers with minimal battery drain and also something close to running at a fast speed with GPS/camera/maps/streetview etc all working?
At the moment I'm using SuperEclair V8.2 by XxKOLOHExX and it's fine and all, but the system slows down to the point of becoming near unusable when Live Wallpapers are on - not to mention the huge battery drain. Are there any ROMs which have such issues corrected?
Thanks in advance~

I'm using superD 1.6. I would change to 2.1 if there was something as fast as 1.6. I have yet to see an eclair rom to match the speed of donut.

It's been a while since I've used a 2.1 rom, but when I did, I didnt notice any battery loss from the live wallpapers. From what I know, live wallpapers doesn't even run when your phone is off/sleeping. LWP's turn back on when your phone comes back on, so it's not constantly running.
edit: That didnt really answer your question =)

Hmm yeah that's true - I don't mind if it's not as fast as donut, just as long as it's not really really slow. The 2.1 ROM I was using had great features but it was just too laggy for me.

+1 for Open Eclair. I used it for my everyday rom for months with no problems. Recently switched back to SuperD out of boredom though.

Ohhh, cool. Looks like Open Eclair is the best way to go. Thanks!

latest open eclair or kingklick's ASOP 2.1 v1.9

Cannon 1.2 with 3d patch 2.0 is fully of fc.

SuperEclair v2.4 or v3.0 I suggest v2.4 with Extended Pack.

Kolehe beta 3.0 Rom. I bet theres no Eclair rom faster. flash and see for yourself. But no LWP's though. And you shouldnt be asking for a fast eclair that has minimal battery drain and complain about something slowing down and your using LWP's.

OpenEclair 1.3.0.1 is very feature-complete, stable and the "no 3D" version is fast enough for daily use. The 3D version though is slow. I've missed several phone calls because it takes that long for the phone to wake up and show caller ID.
The OpenEclair devs are promising improvements on that front in the upcoming 2.0 version, so I'd try that out when it becomes available.

is there anything that does not work yet in OpenEclair, such as video capture, camera, SMS, etc?
I have an original MT3G (using Cyanogen right now) if that makes any difference.

Sorry because of the extremely late reply man :S but...
I think you DEFINITELY have to try this ROM if you wanna know what's speed and reliability. It's based off the official aosp ota for the mt3g (my touch 3g) and tweaked out to run flawlessly on the G1

HI!
Awesome!!! I'm thinking about change phone because it's too laggy but this ROM makes all the diference! Thanks for the suggestion.
Now i only have two questions because i had Cyanogenmod and it has Power Control in the status bar like the samsung galaxy i think and i can also change the number of lines and collumns my desktop has, and chage the weight of the widgets.
Anyone knows what can i do to make that things work in this version?
THANKS!!!

I can't wait for someone to reply to this thread in six months time and be all 'Dude, you gotta check out this honeycomb ROM, it runs amazing on the G1!!' and everyone else will be all 'lulwut?'.

Have had Super-E, but changed to BiffMod.
BiffMod is faster on my G1.
Greetings

Braaaaiiiiiings.... mmmmm... BRAIIIINS!!!

The one I have now is blazing fast, I use from cm4 to cm6 and this thing maybe best so far I have use, no fc and bs since I got it, fancy looks but still maintain good speed. But not sure about juice, my battery is extended one like 3.7 VDC 3000m monster battery so it still last me good 10hr+ even everything is on......
Waiting for good sense mod. ;-)

[ROM[potential release]--WOULD YOU WANT THIS ROM?---

Just made the jump to my DHD from my HD2, was cheffing for the HD2 for 18 months so thought i would start again LOL
i have made myself a build, was wondering if anyone would be interested in it if i share
its going to be for the not particularly experimental people who need and want a really stable, stock(ish) CM rom
Froyo CM 6.1.3, uber stable
Really clean, no junk apps at all
Several performance tweaks, quadrant ~ 2300
Standard CM kernel (until i build my own)
thoughts please
G

gosh darnit i have put this in the wrong section, would a MOD mind miving it to the rom development section please

Unable to comply mate as any "ROM coming soon" thread is not allowed. Feel to post your downloadable file on this thread, PMme and "then" I'll send your thread to the right area.
Cheers,
M_T_M
PS: Do not post a thread over in development 'till your ROM is ready to be released, please.

No problem, on thinking about it it is probably better here until I release anyway!

How about cm7 with fixes and all since cn7 looks a helluva lot better than froyo

Yeah man,MrYuiM is right.Gingerbread is a lot better and more nice looking.Froyo AOSP is ugly butt.Plus,I think you should release it anyway;New roms are always welcome around here!

I appreciate you've probably put a lot of work into this for your own use, but all your really proposing is CM 6.1.3 with all the crap removed and some tweaks thrown in, I agree with the latter posters that you'd better serve the community by getting your development prowess behind teamdouche in the push towards CM7 stable than releasing this.

already got my GB rom well underway, just finalizing it really (it will be a direct port of CM7 RC2 at the moment)

Hmm, he might be lightening, we never know. What we really do need is a CM7 ROM with Lee/Mike/Segio's performance and tweaks included. Now that is a ROM from heaven But Lewarne, your work is much appreciated

i shall say nothing other than let my reputation with HD2 roms speak for itself
i wont release it for a while though

Patience is a virtue I'll look at your HD2 ROMS

i have to say though im not that impressed with CM7+2.3.3
i find it quite unstable (tried lots of the rom ports on here) and a little laggy compared to froyo.
eg, im making the same basic rom (same apps, general system tweaks etc)
CM6+froyo - quadrant of 3300 @ 1.5ghz
CM7+gb - quadrant of [email protected] 1.5ghz
Now i know that quadrant is not a good benchmark, and is highly vulnerable to synthetic changes. However, nearly a thousnd points is a lot of variance, so i ran a linpack run on each, taking an average of 5 runs
CM6+froyo - 49 mflops @ 1.5ghz
CM7+gb - 45 mflops @ 1.5ghz
that is again quite a large disparity! visually, i actually prefer froyo as i find GB a bit too dark, and its certainly mature and stable. Even checked out the battery drain on my froyo rom, getting around 10ma or less on idle consistently, and thats with the standard CM kernel !
i dunno, would you guys at least like to try.look at my froyo build? im much more confident in it than i am GB at the moment.......

If u can get one of the recent battery drain fixes for cyanogenmod in ur Rom I certainly would love to try ur Rom, performance tweaks in combination with battery fixes sounds good to me!
Looking forwArd to seeing ur work in action

i was living quite fine with froyo, before flash cm7, some tweaks are really hard to leave. specially long press in search button to open an app and long press in back button to close an app... and beside it, i'm getting 3~5 mAh of battery draining with mad patch in gb and with stock cm6 kernel it is 12~14...
these are the main 'problem' with cm froyo build for me! =oP
i agree with you that cm7 is really unstable when compared to froyo, cm7 has wi-fi problems, gps problem, rotate problems, radio problem... quite annoiyng to be fixing point by poiint.
if you realese your rom, certainly i'll flash, but i think your knowledge would be more appreciated fixing issues from cm7. =o)

I am sure the inspire 4G community would appreciate it as well .

I see where you're coming from, but also remember the drivers for the GPU for gingerbread haven't been released, nor have any of the other drivers I think. Maybe this could affect performance as the old ones are in use?

Hey man! You remember me right!?!? I'm quite happy for you to see you here!
Sorry if this is off-topic! But i'm also thinking of switching to DesireHD from HD2!
I know it's been maybe only 1 week with you, but how do you find it?!
How it is compared to HD2 in terms of build quality?!
To be honest i've been reading a bit in here and i'm not assured about it
It looks DHD have many build issues (without mentioning the expected bad battery issues)!
It looks it have issues with:
-GPS fix!
-camera lens misaligned!
-battery cover and sim cover misplaced or bumping out!
-dust under screen (which means unsealed gaps!)
-died pixels!
-...
It's really freaking me out! If i haven't touchscreen issues with HD2 i wouldn't sincerely think of switching!

Yo just to jump in. I have no problems with any of those, but I haven't really used the GPS and if there is a problem I do what many others do and install the GPS Status Toolbox Build quality for me is perfect and it looks smexy

How do you feel about Stock Android 2.3.3 on Xperia x10?

Hi guys,
Since Sony Ericsson released Android 2.3.3 upgrade for Xperia X10, I've heard so much opinion from other users, good, bad. In my opinion, the Stock Android 2.3.3 upgrade is good. Why don't I say very? No, I don't cause there are some things need to be fix.
However, what I gonna do here is trying to make the Stock Android 2.3.3 becomes good, just like custom ROM from Wolfbreak, Z or other devs or at least, better than it used to.
So, firstly, thanks to Z for FPS Uncap, Bravia Engine, Audio lags fix, Wolfbreak for build.prop tweaks ( I use build.prop from his ROM), Juwe11 for RAM optimization script, 28spawn for xLoud and CAYCE_VII for new Timescape widget.
Here is my video. Sorry for bad quality but my CAMERA battery is low so, it's
quick recording.
If you like this work and want your Stock Android 2.3.3 becomes like that. You will need these file http://www.mediafire.com/?7myi3gn6bgn7t
All of these processes require ROOTED and xRecovery installed on your phone.
Install Titanium backup to remove unneed system apps. You can find that thread on General discussion box.
Install SetCPU and set it for high battery performance:
Main: +Max 998 MHz +Min 245 MHz +On demand +Set on boot
Profile: Screen off: +Max 384MHz +Min 245MHz + On demand
PLEASE CHECK THE ENABLE BOX. Reboot phone.
Notice that the xLoud plugin will cause the Clock app force close. But it's very good but I repaired my phone and cause I don't need so I don't install it again. Install all plugins through xRecovery FIRST and then the .so and .prop files
And the next thing I wanna show you, I don't know why but on my phone, it will lag when the wifi or 3G connection disabled for long time. It may be caused by Timescape widget and Media Discovery. So if you see the phone lag, try it. Maybe it can help.
And don't worry about free RAM. Although it's low, like my phone, but you see that, no laggy.

Just so you know, Z didn't give us xLoud, it was someone else.
EDIT: I just checked, 28spawn gave us xLoud.

Yes, it was a mistake, in video, I wrote true lol

Umm, just splitting hairs, but stock 2.3.3 is obviously rubbish if you feel the need to change it that much. With all the mods, you might aswell just use wolfs Rom lol. After running his custom 2.2 with goro mod kernel, stock 2.3.3 was a big bag of poo in my opinion, so glad we've got xda to save us.

@Asa2303: you just don't know anything dude. If you say that stock ROM is rubbish, can you do anymore? No man, you can't do a little of the ROM. Don't disparage anything dude. I used custom ROM from Wolfbreak and other devs, it's extremly good. But about the stability, stock is best. This thread is for user who are using stock ROM about how to make it better cause not everyone want to use custom ROM dude.
And I wanna say that you guys don't desparage SE too much. You must know that, without SE devs you will not have anything to complain here, just use a phone with symbian os. Or can you make an OS for yourself? I'm not working for SE or something else but these words are all true

lol "custom rom" is just slightly modified stock rom....
that's the funny/stupid part of this whole thing.
Basically what you are doing by changing everything is making it a "custom" rom all over again.
Stock rom, which theoretically in this circumstance, would mean the rom completely untouched. I couldn't imagine using it without tweaks, fps uncap, etc...

You asked how we 'feel' about stock 2.3.3 and I answered. I used it for a few hours, it was slow and a bit dissapointing after the excitement building up to it. Now am using wolfs because it 'feels' better to me. All my own opinion, sorry for rubbing you up the wrong way with previous post

I think they didn't include these features because they want us to buy a new Sony phone lol.
On a serious note, just by rooting and deleting a lot of the bloatware you can almost double your battery, or at least that's how it was with 2.1 stock. Giving you spare battery for tweaks if you want them.
But hey, everyone should do what they prefer, afterall, its a pretty good phone

Do you know that fps is powered by our GPU? Higher frame rate needs more power on gpu, so more graphic processing, use more battery.
When you play games on our device didnt you notice battery gets low fast? Thats Because of gpu. Get my point?

It is no worse then without fps uncap..
I have tested both, with and without.
Capping it wouldn't make it work less, just show less. The screen refresh rate is still the same.
Nice try though.
They are trying to sell new phones is all..

Go ahead, test it yourself before making bs claims to try to back a slimy company..

Facts? The fact is the screen refresh rate stays the same and the battery life is not noticeably different at all..
You can stay on stock and still use the fps uncap..
Its a million times smoother.
You're pretty blatantly a fanboy

I first had stock GB and it was alright, nothing special....then I flashed WB Xperia TW GB v3 and was blown away, so fast, so smooth, so stable....I'm now on v3.9 and it has gotten better and better with each release (except v3.8). I am amazed at how responsive my phone is and how fast and lag free too, simply amazing. Yes, it doesn't blow me away with its battery life but then again, it never has. Besides, I have chargers at home and in my car so thats a non-issue cause im rarely somewhere where I cant access a charging source. WB GB > stock GB!!!!

Peformance Difference Between 2.2. and 2.2.1?

I want to go back to a 2.2 ROM I particularly like, but I don't want to lose performance coming from the 2.2.1 ROM I'm currently on ...
Anyone have experience with both and want to weigh in?

I personally have never reallt noticed a performance difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1, I think they are too close to really notice. However the Vibrant had an official 2.2 drop so it would probably be closer to stock...
I will say I have been using Simpy Honey and CM7 alot and decided to give a few Froyo roms a go and the performance lose is very noticeable when leaving 2.3 for 2.2..

Performance loss coming from 2.3? I've read that Gingerbread is more demanding on system memory and actually runs slower--at least in terms of gaming--than Froyo ...

Massive difference.. CM7 is very smooth and now that everything works it is a great choice. When I went back to a 2.2 rom I noticed the occasional screen scrolling lag and little things like that that you do not see on 2.3..
Note that every ones experience is different..

CM7 is a massive improvement over ANY 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM. Give it a shot, it's great!

i have only flashed 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms as I always thought the process of flashing a 2.3 or downgrading from 2.3 seemed confusing... messing with bootloaders and stuff??
is it not hard to flash from 2.2 to 2.3 or CM, or downgrading from 2.3/CM back to 2.2?

ICS Fugu Tweak for Froyo 2.2

To all of you running any 2.2 Froyo rom other than JCC's Deranged 9 (he already has this included in his rom), you might want to check out this thread for a nice little performance enhancing tweak.
I am currently running Toxic Crazy 8 and flashed this through CWR without any problems. It has definitely given me a bump in all of the "benchmarking" apps that I've used. Not to mention the fact that I have seen a lot smoother of a response when navigating through menus.
All credit and thanks goes to ForeverSupra for explaining and creating this mod.
A copy of his explanation is below.
This might break your boot animation if you are on 2.2.
Fugu 2.3.5, Fugu 2.3.7 and Fugu from honeycomb was successful when I released it here. Let me know how you guys like this one and if you see any improvements. This replaces your old app_process and system_server with ones from ice cream sandwich!
This will improve the response of scrolling, navigating through apps and overall your smoothness and responsiveness.
This will NOT mess with any of your setups. It is universal for any phone/rom or whatever you need it for.
Mount your system in recovery and flash the file over any rom. This is universal for any phone.

From what I read on the original thread, it will work on 2.3 also. Give it a try.

OK rider, be the guinea pig! I'm also on 2.3
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

works, i can confirm it, i however don't notice a change... it SEEMS like its higher response but i probably have like a placebo effect going on, i can confirm though it does not cause any bugs etc.

Where I really saw the performance increase was when I ran linpack and quadrant (yeah, I know those tests are garbage) a few times on Toxic Crazy 8 and then after flashing and waiting a few minutes, doing the same thing again. My score in linpack went from a consistent 19-20 to an even more consistent 21.5-21.9.
Placebo effect maybe, but I think on Froyo you'll see a lot more of an uptick in performance, rather than what you would see with it running on 2.3. I just wish more people would try it out and talk about it. I know there are a decent amount of Bionix and zendroid users out there that could benefit from this tweak.

Works on 2.2.1? I am on simply galaxy.

Guys, this tweak is universal for all roms. This comes from Ice Cream Sandwich so you should notice a little improvement when clicking into apps, scrolling and all that good stuff. If you have 2.2 I have had reports of it breaking the boot animations. Other then that, it still works. Please update the original post .
Here is my thread with people talking about it.

If you guys want to discuss it then feel free to post on our forums and talk to all the others who are using this tweak.
Placebo? I dont think I can say that because I noticed good improvements on all the leaked versions of our Droid Charge's, everyone else too.

Just updated the thread with the newer information. Hopefully more people on 2.2 will give it a try.
