rooted my mytouch...now going back to stock

[rudeguy]

I spent all last night messing around with different ROMs, reading everything I could find about swappiness, cpu over and under clocking...and decided that it wasn't anywhere near worth it.

While the 7 home screens were cool and the extra (very small) tweaks were cool, I just couldn't deal with the lag. I'm not sure if I messed something up or if the mytouch just doesn't have the cpu/memory to really work well rooted, but I don't see the advantage.

Multi tap was cool but that got old after about 5 minutes.

which rom did you run? i can't imagine anyone saying cyanogen's is slower than stock
did you wipe before installing each one? also a class 6 sd card makes a huge difference if you are using apps2sd.

I could never get cyanogen's to work. I followed the instructions word for word a bunch of times and it always sticks on the mytouch boot screen. I used this page:

do you have a 32a or 32b?

do you have a 32a or 32b?

I was under the impression that all mytouches are 32b?

Radio ends in 61...

Not sure, I've only rooted/ROM'd my Dream, and am very happy with it...

 

[rudeguy]

yea..its a 32b. I believe the 32a is the Ion or whatever.

Maybe I'll actually post over there to see if I'm doing something simple wrong.

At least you didn't brick it

First couple times I thought I did! Luckily I know how I am with phones and I make sure I keep insurance on it.

Apparently the part in that link where it says to ONLY have the sapping.nbh was important. I tried it one more time and got it working.

Now lets see how this one works...

any luck?

 

[rudeguy]

yep! Got it up and running. I don't see much difference though...what's fun to play with?
