Rooted my G1

[Pliablemoose]

Was afraid I'd brick it, figured I'd just scrounge another used one if I did.

Tethering rocks...

Multitouch is sweet too.

Good job. My interest in my G1 went way up when I rooted it. Cyanogen's ROMs kick ass if you haven't tried it yet.

 

[Pliablemoose]

Am using Cyanogen's 4.2.13

Am very impressed. I think I'm going to stay with my G1 for some time, hell for the price, I'll skip the current generation of phones and look for the next, or pick up a Nexus One when the next big thing comes out and root it.

Root is the only way to go with Android. Wireless tether is a must have application and works phenomenally well on a rooted Mytouch/G1/Nexus...

One of the anesthesiologists I work with mods his phones, he saw my home screen and started talking to me about how he mods his phones with roms from XDA's web site

I don't know what's more impressive - your speeds or your ping time. That alone would make me drop landline everything.

if you don't play too many 3d games, check this out:

steals 10mb from gpu memory and gives it to the system...speeds things up a bit when lots of apps are running

I think he is confused by the 0.9 Mb vs the 500 Kb

Anyone know how TMobile treats unauthorized tethering?

I'd hate to have them shut down my account...

i used it for about a week while waiting for time warner to install. total usage was around 650mb (browsing and email) and they didn't say a thing.

i'm not even sure if tmobile is able to tell that you are tethering.

 

[sygyzy]

If you use one of Cynogen's ROMs, do you have to update it all over again each time Google releases a new update? I know it's rare, but just curious.

We can all see the WIfi signal meter instead of it saying 3G, so nice try yet again.

interestingly enough, i think the relatively slow cpu in my g1 limits bandwidth, since even on wifi i get at most 4 mbps on a 20mbps connection.

pliablemoose...can you try it out on wifi and post your results?

 

[Pliablemoose]

I will when I get a chance

I had similar result on WiFi

how do we know if vshah is using WIFI for speed test???

I think you mean Moose, since vshah hasn't posted any speed tests, and in that case, we know because his screenshot clearly shows the ISP as being T-Mobile.

Via WiFi, I get between 3100-4800 down, and 777-780 up.
