Downgrade from CM 5.0.7-test1 to 4.2.15.1

[gehad3003]

Hello

I just flashed my g1 phone with CM 5.0.7 and it seems that the battery runs out pretty fast. So I wanna downgrade to 4.2.15.1. How is that ROM anyway?

Do I just flash it with the new rom? should I do anything like wipe? and what should I wipe cuz I have more than one option when i click on wipe?

fyi: I have RA Dream 1.6.2

Thanks in advance

you should be able to wipe the first 2 then flash your rom.
some people don't bother and just wipe all 5 though.

doing all 5 will not hurt.

4.2.15.1 is very stable and a good daily rom
wipe and follow this

Its a very basic Donut Rom just like all the others out there. if you want something flashy thats nice and fast I would go with SuperD 1.11 or SuperFast 1.3.3. Both of which are awesome. HTClay did an awesome job with SuperFast he just added JIT and it has a lot of eye candy.

Dunno if this got answered... WIPE EVERYTHING using armon's recovery. If you need to go to cyanogens wiki and there is step by step instructions on how to install 4.2 you can pretty much start from the begining with that one if you have an extra thirty minutes. With 4.2 you dont need the danger spl or the ext partitions eitehr but its like trying to ride a dog compared to a pony... if you know what i mean...

Sorry, I hate to hijack the dude's thread, but he seems to have gotten the help he needs, and this is on subject. Anti-subject, anyway, but I am having a lot of trouble with 4.2.15.1 and Gapp force closes. No matter how many time I reflash, flash back to ADP 1.6 then to the ROM, and wipes. Nothing seems to change it, would 4.2.13 be more stable?

no but super d 1.11 would be

I am getting the same Force Closes on Super D 1.11, too! However, if I go to the Rooted HTC 1.6 ROM, I can run it with no problems. How the hell am I getting so many FC's with a wipe and fresh ROM install?

For what it's worth I'm running the CM 5.0.7- T4 and my G1's battery lasts over a day now. It's overclocked and has ADW, so I feel like it's pretty impressive.

I also put the 2.22.23.02 radio on, I don't think that had anything to do with the battery issue, but just in case it did I'm posting that bit if info. haha
