G1 is looking a bit outdated....

[edgargeminis620]

what color is your g1 right now?

[xxmadeyousmile]

its black.....

[edgargeminis620]

is it beat up?

maybe go to white? but the UK white. its nicer

[havikx]

swap housings!? what would i swap it to?

you guys are blowing my mind!

believe you me, one you get the hang out it and actually figure out what the hell that command prompt you just wrote did to your phone, it becomes second nature to change roms, themes, and all kinds of stuff. most updates, like the voice nav in maps, are now in update.zip form.

it'll take a while. maybe a few hours your first time around. after that... like a breeze. and TOTALLY WORTH THE HOURS OF FRUSTRATION, THE TIME SPENT TYPING COMMAND PROMPTS INTO TERMINAL EMULATOR, AND ALL THE HELP POSTS YOULL BE POSTING THRU THE PROCESS!

I can only hope it will be so wonderful
I love this kind of stuff, just wish i had gotten into it sooner. Never have time to do frivolous things except when I'm at work not working (LOL)

i would say devote a few hours of 1 day to it. get a nice and easy, short, android 4 dummies kinda guide... find a youtube video... follow what they say to get yourself rooted first. once your rooted and you change your recovery.img file.... youll be set to do all the fancy stuff that comes from rooting. like the cyanogen ROM! now with kewl blue theme! alright!

plus..everything gets much easier once cyanogens recovery is in. EVERYTHING.

Woohoo! The anticipation is killing me. I wish i had the time and/or concentration to do it today!

I really am so glad everyone on here is so helpful! Thank you!!

Ask and you shall receive lol
root there are easier ways but this is the most fun lol
Hero this is one of the best roms of any kind
Cliq still a work in progress but still pretty good
Pulse beta but fun to play with
2.0 beta but once again fun to play with
Donut/1.6 the greatest rom to date and most stable and fast
oh yea your gonna need this to but make sure you have a pvt board and the newest radio which you should already have but check first you can brick.
How to check that you asked lol, here is how and there is other great info on this type of stuff, knowledge is power. Might be alot but once you get it good you'll love your phone like you did when you first got it and IT WILL BE THE BEST PHONE ON THE MARKET TO DATE.


READ ALL THESE BEFORE ATTEMPTING.
