Don't fret. Give redemption a try. It's a great ICS ROM from The Collective. It's solid and has been my daily driver for quite awhile. It's still being updated.

I do thank flappjaxxx for all his efforts. I have been using his ROMs since bbmod. I can't wait to see what he does next.

RIP Ascension.

It does( flapp posted a screen). If you change to Nova launcher though you have to enable desktop rotation in the Nova settings. Took me a few minutes and double checks of system settings to figure that out that Nova has its own setting too.

Awesome ROM! Can you please tell me what is the source for contact photos in the dialer, and how can I get more to pull in? On sense based ROM's they seem to come automatically from Facebook for HTC sense, but that has been giving me FC's and I uninstalled that. I have regular Facebook up and running and am of course logged into Google. Thank you for all of your work on bringing this slab of bacon to life!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] flappjaxxx:
You can sync your Facebook contacts in your Accounts settings. As long as you are syncing your Google contacts any that you added pics to will show up.

question:

Does the ascension kernel have NTFS support for the sd card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kem52:
Thank you for the reply! What I am trying to figure out is the "featured" contacts that show up when I click the phone link. I tried to "add account" for facebook but got no visible response... Two contacts have pics that have come from somewhere, but four others that have both google and facebook pics don't show up. The contacts all have <HTCData> links but this does not seem to differentiate between those that get pics and those that don't. I recall the flood of contact info that would come in when adding accounts on a sense rom. Again, thank you! Aldi's bacon is one of the bacon-world's hidden treasures by the way, just sayin'.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Galaen:
What I did was download and install Facebook. When I logged in, it asked if I want to sync contacts and I did so. I then rebooted. When it came back on, I went into my accounts under system setting. I forced a sync with google contacts, then forced a sync with facebook. It works for me.

I'm wondering why Ascension is so much smoother on my phone than aospx is?

aospx would always have a little lag issue and I could never OC it past 1.5. It would always lock up. I just could never find the sweet spot between Governor and frequencies. So far I been able to OC Ascension as high as I want without issue.

Don't get me wrong...I like both ROM's pretty much equally and like I said I'll probably end up flashing back and forth between the two for the next few weeks.

Well in theory not fact I have a few ideas.

1. Stock aospX ships with a CFS kernel and Ascension ships with a BFS kernel.

2. They both use different default governors.

3. CPU clock steps are different in the kernels as well. existz uses his CPU clock steps that he has been using since TalonACE kernel whereas I changed the clock steps in the CollectiveACE kernel to match LorD ClockaN's kernel steps. Just a personal preference.

4. I also included andrev oc that also allows you to set sleep and wake profiles.

like I said nothing I just pointed out is proven facts just my thoughts on why it may seem smoother. It may also just be a placebo effect :D

Awesome ROM, in love again after Absolution! (that makes me feel guilty on cheating it ;) ). Thanks for all your hardwork and sharing with us..

Hit me if I am asking this being an alpha release.. haven't see this question yet.

Been using ICS rom since existz AR15 and now Ascension. With ICS sometimes the app names on the homescreen/app-drawer tend to get skewed(like in the pic attached) but the widget names are fine and a restart(or twice) would set it to normal. I'm running at 220dpi if it helps.

Would like to know if I am the only one experiencing it or it is an alpha limitation. Can live with it if it is the later.

Thanks again.

Data running much smoother - Happy with that.

Two questions:

First - I noticed that the pictures on contacts defaults to either an old picture from FB or one from google contacts. Is there a way to set the profile pictures from FB as the default contact picture?

Second - Can we edit the grid size of the screen? I reset that dpi to 190 and it looked fantastic (I love higher resolution/smaller font/icons - just looks smoother to me), but when doing this, all widgets and apps didn't fit the screen. They were too small. When trying to manually resize the widget, it won't let me go bigger to fill the screen.

Thoughts? Comments?

Just things I wonder after having my BLT for lunch.
