G1 Owners Unite! The Official G1/Android Thread..News/Apps/Features All In Here

root guides are on here a few pages back but it depends on your phone...so far only 2.0 phone is droid so u can't put 2.0 on anyother device unless its a rom.
i never rooted so my advice is go back a few pages or search g1 root or whatever device u use. so far only the htc devices have root and the droids...no one has rooted the samsungs so if u have a samsung android ur outta luck and i dont think the hero has been rooted yet its an htc but i dont think yet...so only the early tmo's g1's and mytouches...
google xda also that forum has the root guides too.

The Hero has BEEN rooted for a quite a while now...and the samsung moment has gotten rooted as well

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597182

Far as the the 2.0/1 roms go..They have ported them over to work on the G1/MT3G and just about any phone that has root and recovery. Sad part about em is that they are full of bugs and half of the OS doesnt work correctly. Cyan just recently started adding bits and pieces from 2.0 into his rom and the have custom themes to make your phone look like 2.0[I have one]

what type of phone do you have...from there we can guide you to the right place for what ever you wanna do

No, those pics are pictures taken with the phone. both of the guys are taking pictures, they have the same phone.

Oh that's what you meant, I shoulda known...I thought you was talking about the pictures making the phone look bad...I wasn't expecting much from that cam though, but I know you want a good phone cam...So I guess you ain't waiting for the GPhone anymore huh? Back to the X1 for you?

What doesn't work on that ROM? I know there are probably a ton of things nonfunctional like when they came out with the Hero ROMs...

So far its just the camera that's not active...the SU permissions are broken so you can't use rooted apps on this rom. But other than that everything is perfect working order

I'm at work but ill post the link/links for a 2.0 eclair rom for you when I get the chance
 
not sure if its been mentioned but i read that sprint htc will be updating straight to 2.1 in 2010, and not 2.0.
 
I don't have a G1, but I'm totally digging this Android system so far. I've had my MyTouch 3G for about a week now.

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/apps/CarDock.apk

Install with astro file manager
 
ZEI, on that 2.1 update, will you be able to run apps from the sd card? thanks bro

It will more than likely depend on the phone. If its a newer phone you woukldnt need to simply because they come with 1GB of internal memory. If its an older phone you gonna have to activate Apps2SD manually. Reason being most stock 2.0/1 roms don't run that program because its not as stable just yet. But ill keep you updated on the issue

zei, how long do you think its gonna be before they make available 2.0 to hero?

What network are you on? If your sprint then your update will come in Jan. When they release the rom you can manually install it. Ill post a tutorial for this as well.

Far as verizon goes, I haven't heard anything about them yet but ill keep you posted

Im currently running this Rom, on my G1, works beautifully only thing is the camera does not works as of yet.

Eclair_2.0.1-v1.2


No offense bro but most of things your posting have already been posted

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f56/rom-eclair_2-0-1-v1-1-g1-mt3g-32b-nexus-bootanimation-29720/



Need proof of this because they've barely started on the 2.1 firmware for these newer phones so why would they just make a 2.5 version for G1 and MT3G and avoid all the others

Flan 2.1 ported to DROID


Pretty damn swwet
