CyanogenMod Completes Work on Eclair (Android 2.1) ROM for G1 and Magic
Part of the fun of owning an Android-based smartphone is in installing third party firmware. Not for the faint of heart, the process involves hacking the device in a process known as rooting which, if done incorrectly, can brick your handset. Take your time and do things correctly, however, and you'll unlock all kinds of functionality and features not previously available, depending on your particular smartphone. G1 owners, for example, can install apps directly to an SD card and setup Wi-Fi tethering, among other things.
Should you make the leap, popular modder CyanogenMod has just released what he claims is the first fully functionally Android 2.1 (Eclair) ROM for the HTC Dream (G1) and Magic smartphones. The latest ROM includes everything that goes with Eclair, as well as a few extras, including:
- Tethering support
- FLAC audio support
- Graphical enhancements
- 360 Degree auto-orientation
- OpenVPN integration
If you're interested in giving the new ROM a spin, you can download the file from here. Be sure to follow the installation instructions closely.

Cyanogen's Eclair ROM for G1 isn't the first fully functional Eclair ROM (Kingxklick and CaNNoN have some over at the xda forums), but it is the best.
I've been running it since last night, and it is significantly faster than any other Eclair ROM I have used. Cyanogen is the man.
