The official 1.5 firmware is here finally!
April 27, 2009HTC has quietly added the 1.5 firmware for the G1 to their firmware page. You can grab it at http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
Recently, I’ve been debating with myself if I wanted to tackle making a new “JF” image based on 1.5 when it came out. I really wasn’t looking forward to making a new update. But now that’s its actually here, the “update bug” has bitten again, so I’ll get to work on it this evening!

Thank God, JesusFreke, that you will make another great one. Please don’t forget multitouch, as the cupcake is still lacking that.
I know who to blame if I wake up this night and can’t sleep again until I got my hands on your latest product.
Thanks from AndroidClub NL

Oh and one thing: in Chrome and Firefox it seems to be impossible to get into this text field…… other fields are working though.

Would love to have the search-by-dialpad in the Haykuro H build if possible
April 27th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
JF, thank you, thank you, thank you. No disrespect to the other modders out there (Haykuro, Dude, etc), but your builds are by far the best and that’s why you deserve the recognition you get.
April 27th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Well, GERMAN was in your 1.43 RC9 ! It seems there is(was?) the same Build for UK+GER. Are you using the european 1.5 (UK?) Is Germany still there??
April 27th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
im really appreciate your work im glad to see you still developing. i like your build the most because it has an update app that you can get off the market that make it easy to install updates on the go just like t mobile ota.

Welcome back JF. Glad to see you again
April 27th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
JF,
Glad to see you’re back at it again. Can’t wait to see what you do with this build. I know you are probably getting swamped with comments, requests, etc.. So i will keep it short.
HTC Camera
HTC Video Camera
HTC Keyboard
Latitude
See if you can add the appstoSD an dalvik code in the zip file to make that process easier for some of the newbies.
Looking forward to your next build/update.

Crap! I think I must be losing my memory. I don’t remember having trouble with the community. Can you point me in the direction of such trouble? I would very much like to remember

You ought to have a donate site. I think a lot of people would be happy to pitch in a little cash to make it worth your while.
April 30th, 2009 at 12:36 am
Ok, this works in IE 8. Just wanted to pop in here and state that I have loaded countless roms on my G1, but I always drop back to the RELIABLE, STABLE one. JF..you really are the Superfly of Android!!!! Bongzaiii!!!!!!!!!!
April 30th, 2009 at 2:35 am
Jf keep up the good work you are what makes it worth having a g1 otherwise would have given up a long time. Love your work !
April 30th, 2009 at 5:10 am
Finally! The 1.5 OTA update arrived! I’m assuming that you’ll be making a rooted version of this, right?
April 30th, 2009 at 9:47 am
JF Welcome Back! Can’t wait for a build strait off the offical update. Thanks
April 30th, 2009 at 11:48 am
JF, eagerly looking forward to your release, and thank you for giving so much to the community. I second the donate option. You should set up a Paypal link.
p.s. This text box is *not* FF3.5b4 friendly!
April 30th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Hey Jf, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your work. Let us know anyway to donate. You are the reason I decided to start learning to program for Android. Multi-touch zoom would be great in Maps. Thanks again.
April 30th, 2009 at 4:41 pm

thanks a lot man, your work helps a lot of people.
May 1st, 2009 at 4:43 am
JF , Its amazing how much people loved your roms, to the point where Most people I know using JF Roms, just DONT want to give up on it even when All the other 1.5 Builds came out (Dude’s etc..)!! It simply shows how much people are feeling comfortable with your AWESOMEE Roms. You sure did a great job and yes a site for donation is defenitly a good idea…..You deserve it !.
Offcourse……..cant wait for your new 1.5 Build

Count me as one of them. I have avoided using other great roms just because I love the JF roms. Keep up the great work!

Oh man Yes!! I’ve literally flashed and re flashed (and wiped! Lol) my phone more than 15 times trying to get used to the other buiklds but I can’t, once you Jf there ainnt noo goinn backk! XD
May 1st, 2009 at 8:15 am
Just a couple of things that you could possibly consider in your build. Autorotate on everything including homescreen and contacts. Also maybe along with the multitouch browser you could incorporate the saphires browser which contains the double tap circular zoom which in my opinion maybe easier to use in onehanded scenarios. Also if its possible to maybe included the saphires rotate bounce effect rather than the fade effect or the spare parts swing effect. Just some ideas let me know if you like any.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:24 am
JF,
Great work… No request just want to say thinks for support the android community we love what you do.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:44 pm
JF,
A million thanks for your significant efforts in bringing these builds to us. I have enjoyed my G1 immeasurably more because of your existing work. I’m thrilled that you’ve decided to produce a 1.5 build, and can’t wait to install it.
Thanks again for your generosity!
May 1st, 2009 at 5:06 pm
hey glad you added an donation link. just donated you deserve it. looking forward to 1.5.
May 1st, 2009 at 5:12 pm
JF, as with everyone else, I really appreciate the hard work you put in! Recently, I was excited to finally dedicate a couple hours to put cupcake on my G1 and in reality it took many hours and I struggled to make it work with 1.5 constantly crashing before I found the JF build was WAY easier to load and more stable …very tight. Afterwards, I made some instructions for the full process in case anyone needs a walkthrough: http://gergen.us/wordpress/?p=149
JF rocks! I would rather have root with a JF RC33 build then to have cupcake without it …so there.
P.S. I like the new look of the blog!
May 1st, 2009 at 7:35 pm
donated!
youuu, my dear sir, are my hero!
May 1st, 2009 at 7:52 pm
Just dropping by to show some support. Looking forward to your next release. Thanks.
May 1st, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Just donated for 1.42. When the rom for 1.5 comes out I will donate again. Thanks again.
May 1st, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I too am eagerly awaiting your build like it was the Second Coming. Ha ha ha. I’m rocking The Dude rom right now, but miss the tmo bloatware (Amazon mp3, multichat client, myfaves) as well as the asthetics. I can’t wait till you get it working.
May 2nd, 2009 at 2:11 am
JF,
Installed with no issues (other than almost forgetting the radio due to excitement). You’re JF App is sweet. Thank you so much once again for coming back and creating the update!
Good thing I have nothing planned for Saturday!
May 2nd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Don’t know where to send this… I tried the Haykuro ADP 1.5 Hr3 mod and the JF 1.50 ADP1.5 mods; updated the radio four times, wiped at least eight.
No matter what I do, I cannot enable bluetooth phone audio w/ the G1 now. It’s completely gone. The phone //says// it is there; but the actual calls are completely oblivious — the audio continues to pipe in / out through the physical device itself. Media works just fine — but I need to conduct phone conversations through the bluetooth, not listen to music!
Any help at all would be immensely appreciated. (I’ve also submitted a bug report w/ the Haykuro google code sapphire port website.)
May 4th, 2009 at 9:42 am
you do great work
please keep the roms coming
I am more than happy to donate for each one i can use.
