Getting a G1 - G1 General

Hey guys, I bought a G1 on EBay for 78 bucks ( pretty cheap considering the device has regular wear and tear) and wanted to dominate the thing with awesome mods etc. Anyone know a nice stable and fast froyo build? If there is one with Sense I will take that as well and as a side note... is multi touch enabled on these roms? Multi touch like the Nexus S has?
Sent from my Xoom

If you want froyo, you should try out froyo by lazlo, if you want gingerbread, try cos-ds gingerbread
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

Multitouch enabled on most custom roms, from 1.6 to current.

do also check on how to upgrade the spl and radio of the phone if it has not been upgraded, as this would give you extra 14mb of ram which is very precious for the g1. Links are at my sig
welcome to the g1 community and have fun flashing!

So what use is the radio for? Just some extra ram? Anyone got a link for a stable froyo or gingerbread build? Which ever is most stable I will take, if there is a version with Sense then I will take that. Also what's with this 32a and 32b stuff? Are there specific versions of roms? Cause that would kind of suck lol.
Sent from my Xoom

yes, with it you'll get around 110 of ram, which considered as a lot for g1, froyo, go for froyo by laszlo or froyofortrout or ezterry's official aosp ota.
GB, try cosds or ads. laszlo's and the GB links are at my signature. open up the web version of the forum if you cant see them from the xda/tapatalk app. happy flashing!

Thanks, do these roms run fast? And is there a way to keep the stock IM app that comes on the G1? I have seen it and I actually like it.

they are very fast, but this varies with the settings that you use on them. what is the name of the app? i think you can try adb pull it, and push it again. ive never seen the app cz i bought mine pre-installed with another custom rom, lol

Uh here I have a video by Phonedog:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm777yg4WvA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Skip a little when he starts talking about Instant Messaging etc. I thought it looked pretty cool and a bit better than Trillian such. I tried it on my Nexus S, and it kept crashing. Is there a way to keep that app? Also I am planning on overclocking the device does it improve performance? I just want a ROM that isn't going to bog down the experience, I don't use live wallpapers and the most I want to play is Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, can it run that if it's all stock?

the app might not be compatible with gingerbread, plus the original g1 received only up to 1.6 as the official update, but you can always try later on with your preferred custom rom. OC does improve, but personally, im not using it, the default is good enough for me, your needs might be diffrent.
angry bird is playable with this script, but it is not that smooth, but still playable . have not tried ninja, most of the 2d games work well so far. for good gaming experience, your nexus s would be much2 more better lol
hope it helps

Hmmm, would overclocling make the gaming experience any better? I mean I know that emulators work well because they were made on the G1, saw videos of people using it on a G1 as well. I am not going to have my Nexus S for a good week or two for repairs, so I need a device to substitute it.

even if you overclock it to 614, angry bird wont be as smooth even with the script+overclock. this from my experience though, not sure what others have got

the limitation here is the ram and also the gpu in g1, it uses adreno 130, which is very old, phones with slightly higher gpu, adreno 200 have much2 better performance eventhough they are only one model newer.

Yeah I knew it was the RAM, oh well it's not like I was going to game hardcore or anything.

Both angry birds and fruit ninja run very well using froyobylazo 5.2, fruit ninja runs better in my tests I've done with it. I OC to 595 - 633 tho for best results with those games,emualtion is fine @ 528 and below.

I might just suggest using gingerbread in particular 'ginger yoshi'. I recently also purchased a G1/Dream off ebay and decided to mod it and just tonight loaded ginger yoshi 7.1.1 onto it (android 2.3.3) and it is working flawlessly, before gingerbread i was running froyo (cyanogenmod 6.1.0 magpie) but yoshi's build is so much more snappier.

Happenin' guys howz tricks?
I'm not on here as often as i would like (when i briefly had both my O2 XDA aka HTC Universal and my Nexus One) however it is a great forum.
Not long changed from a Samsung Galaxy S 16gb model to the HTC Desire HD and my god what a world of difference - Sense UI is awesome (damn sight better than TouchWiz IMO)
Absolutely lovin' it!!
Just thought i'd say hi and praise an awesome phone
And thats from stock..wait till you do a custom rom and oc kernel...then it really is amazing.

I've been amazed in general regarding the various rooting, kernels, ROMs etc for Android however i would much rather have a secondary phone precisely for the sole reason of mucking around with the software
I may get a second phone to learn about it because i reckon it would be something cool to learn... I may even use that HTC Kitchen thingy on the forum
It is amazing, coming my self from a sgs where i needed to flash in order to get froyo and to get proper lag fix coming to the dhd is a nice breath of fresh air!
ATM i don't feel the need of flashing roms unless there was a good compelling reason, all the bugs that I've read here , i simply don't have.
I however love launcher pro so using that instrad of sense ui, also just managed to unlock my device which is great too.
Can't beat custom roms and kernels...I'm getting..

Best myTouch 4g Rom

What's the best mytouch 4g rom right now? Ive tried all the obvious ones; iced, cyanogen, muiu, hd sense. Just wondered if there was something else out there, something better, or different. Getting a little bored with the obvious, like to test new things.

I digging it too. Had to switch the font, but otherwise, TB is hella responsive. We'll see how the battery life is after a full drain and recharge.
IMO Its all about preference. You gotta ask yourself if y like stock android or sense (among other overlays)
Personally. I havent experienced a rom smoother than Ice Glacier yet. I was surprised since CM7 was less than half the size but smoothness was way behind Ice. IMO Sense roms are more optimized for our chipsets since thats what HTC works on most so im Sense all the way
It really is all personal preference. Especially with a phone like this with so many options the differences in performance are going to be nominal. I personally love CM so that's what I am running. There are people that love sense and there are ROMs out there for that. A better thread for you would have been things you are looking for and we could suggest the best ROM suited for your needs.
is it me or has rom production almost come to a halt. i mean with GB ready to go whats the deal? or are all the devs working on HC and done with GB

Well as you know Sense based rom specially IG is not actually full rom as it just modified and comparing to current CM7(AOSP2.3.X:GB) its 1/3rd of the port size. But as IG heavily depends on Sense based framework it will be little smoother but you can make CM7 smooth also IDK what people talking about it lags as if I even run at 368mhz(max)/245(min)/ondemand (gov) I get NO lag.

Thats the beauty of AOSP and we are thankful so who cares what Google is doing maybe by next year HTC will port Sense based on 2.3 and we just got AOSP2.3.3 port last night on CM7NB11.
my fave so far is jaywans nexus s gingerbread rom. it's pretty smooth and everything works. I wanted to try his thunderbolt port but I kinda got tired of sense
is CM7NB11 in rom manager??

Last I heard the CM updater for Rom Manager Premium wasnt updating for some reason but it could be fixed by now. That was yesterday. Unfortunatly I only have the free version and it only allows for DL of CM7 RC1 so i cant confirm if the other is working again.
Lol that's what he was talking about? How hard is it to grab the current build from CM repository, it takes just 1 sec. I have cURL.d setup on my server it grabs it automatically within 1min as I set the eCrawler auto updated every min.

I just finished an update for it taking it from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 is fast smooth and great on battery. I sent it to royal night so he can put his touches on it so i will be ready real soon.
Really depends on how you want to style your phone. Do you like Sense? Do you want a vanilla flavored rom?
I love CM7.

+1 / with carlos2384 ... Jaywan's Nexus S is hands down my favorite ROM so far on this device. Jaywan - udaman! I'm pumped about v2.2 for Nexus S !!
...I did just flash the new Liquid Metal port (RoyalLiquid) and it's quiiiiiite interesting and unique....since it appears it's froyo based, I'm not sure it's gonna steal my heart long term from the Nexus S ROM but at least for now, it's REALLY nice to have options!! (especially when they're as cool as this)
Thanks again Jaywan, Royalknight6190, and TeamRoyal !
I am currently trying ThunderBolt. I like it. I came from Iced which was giving me all sorts of funny business.

Evo Shift Merge?

From what I know, the Shift is the Sprint Version of the HTC Merge(or the other way around). And, since there is no Merge forum I could find, I came here. Is it possible to oc the device to 1ghz? Or, is it like the G2, where 800mhz is enough? Also, does it happen to have 512 mb of ram and a ffc? If so, Im dumping my droid 2 for the merge(unlocked bootloader ftw!)
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA Premium App
you can overclock to 1.51 ghz with it rooted and it is very smooth and very fast i can say i had many applications in back ground and still managed to go on the web and it was very quick still and play games with no problem very smooth.
The shift can be oc to 1.8 my friend and the g2 can do 2.1
No ffc tho sorry
He's asking about the Merge, guys. It SHOULD be very similar to the Shift, but nobody knows for absolute certain until they can get their hands on it. For the record, the 800 Mhz processor did everything i asked of it and then some at stock speed, I only overclock it because I can

^ This is correct info. The shift is quite speedy without the overclocking. Most of us just do it because of battery life with the different kernels, and because our geek friends wil think it's cool.

Anyone got their hands on an HTC Merge yet? Mines definitely great at 800 MHz, and there is nothing i have come across where i felt more clock speed would've been better, and that too on stock rom. This includes some of the heaviest games graphics-wise available on the market. But since its still not officially out, Im still running it on stock as I have no idea how to root it and load custom recovery. As soon as we get custom recovery on this it is a given the performance will increase a lot with custom roms.

just the same differences when you taste froyo and ginger.
Frodo is a character from Lord of the Rings while Ginger is a character from Gilligan's Island.
Gingerbread is optimized for Hummingbird CPU (SGS) while Froyo is optimized for Snapdragon CPU (N1)
I'm hoping some of the bluetooth quirks are solved.
It's seams my old feature phone did a better job with BT than droid (or iphones)

Also, there seem to be few if any apps coming out requiring GB. That was not the case with Froyo - there were LOTS of changes to the API there and not being able to upgrade meant missing out on new apps. Nothing like that with GB so I don't mind sticking with Froyo for a bit of stability.

slightly. nothing noticeable difference between froyo and gb.
I honestly have to say I have try every single rom posted here in less then 2 months. For last I have seen lots of hype with Ginger CM7 and I went for it.
2 days pass and I downgraded again to Frojo 2.2 since I hated it that ginger, is buggy and there aint much I could do to get it popping like I can do with custom Frojo Roms.
So I will stick with Frojo until Ginger gets the support we have now for Frojo types.

Suggestions for my new play :)

Hi all,
I am perfectly happy with my nexus 4, but my friend is giving me his old xperia play which I am going to use as a gaming device.
I see there are several roms out there based on gb and ics and some even jb.
What is suggested to optimize xperia play for gaming only? gb, ics or jb?
I will be deleting any app that isn't neccessary to keep things nice and clean.
Was thinking about a swap partition on my sdhc card as well.
Haven't got the device yet but I am collecting firmwares, kernels and whatnot to have ready for when I receive it.
Let me know what you think?:good:

Great friend you have there =).
I am sure that someone more technical could fill you in on details on GB, ICS and JB stuff. I haven´t been following that at all.
Personally, I only use my XPlay only as an emulator gaming device. And I use ExtremeKernel combined with EliteGamer 2.0 000p (no camera).
I have around 300-310 MB´s of free RAM. And emulators for NES, SNES, GBA, Genesis and PSX runs perfectly fine. It´s amazing to relieve my old games that are stashed away in my wardrobe.
I haven´t even gotten to overclock the unit. I prefer my unit to live as long as possible.
The XPlay IS aged hardware. But the price and its very smooth design makes it easy just to pick it up and play.

I'm currently building a pure performance ROM which is my custom build of AtomicGB.
For gaming I'd stick with Gin2KK, Elite and/or the Rom I'm just making.
Using the 000p/cameraless extreme kernel doesn't do video playback too :/ but is the best solution for gaming.

When I was testing roms, I found AuroraPlay to be the best gaming rom. It didn't skip any frames on PPSSPP when I was playing Project diva. I'm using that along with a beta ExtremeKernel. Here's a gameplay video. I think it has my settings too at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OznD5ZNtVvo

That's the amount of RAM my ROM had earlier in development.
Now it's a bit less due to JIT tweaks but has faster app execution.

Well it was kind of a demo model in a store he works at, and they were selling phones and tablets at a really low price. But there are only 5 or so of each model.
Had my eyes on this one x too but I wasn't lucky enough to win it.
I guess you can search Ebay or maybe a native secondhand market?

R800i is the GSM version of the Play.
R800x is the CDMA version of the Play.
R800a is the 4G GSM version of the Play (not often seen)
R800at is the 4G AT&T version of the Play.

didn't know there was a 4g version. Is that like an xperia play 2 with upgraded hardware?
I'm not sure which one I'll be getting then

No it's the exact same phone, just has 4G.
Sent from my R800i
I did, I found out some quite low prices but nothing even close to this. Do you know if there are any left, or was it a long time ago?
Anyway, my personal experience is that stock firmware, de-bloated and optimized with various little tweaks is the best.

He was asking for differences in the main hardware asking "Is this the Xperia Play 2?" sort of question, I don't think mentioning the radio comes into play on this part since he only wants to use the device for gaming.
And sorrt for the typo lol I just noticed it.

it was not a long time ago, but yeah there aren't any left. there were 5 of em or something, so they had to do like a lottery out of 30 people wanting the same device.
How much should I be paying for a new i800 these days?
