huawei ascend m860 cricket

I went into my downloads and clicked on the gingerbread setup. It asked to reboot. When it booted it just stays on the Huawei screen. I hope there is a way to fix this. I'm going crazy!

I tried letting the phone sit without the battery for 20 minutes...And Nothing.

I tried to go into the boot manager process...the screen flashes for a sec then continues to the Huawei screen. When I plug in the usb it reads it. When I go to file transfer it says, "There is'nt any sd card in your mobile"

Any Help would be appreciated!

Trust me I did that too. Anyway, I took hours trying to copy build file over and finally just had to edit mine in notepad on the computer and copy it. After I edited the permissions on build.prop everything worked fine. Im useing Android Bluz theme and now I have my black notification bar with white text! Thanks man!
[Android Themes] fefe91:
great, thanks
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Here is a link to a build.prop that dEris is talking about http://www.sendspace.com/file/pod18o

and some more screenshots here

If you are still having problems, mount your phones sdcard to your computer and then navigate to the AndroidThemes folder and extract the zip there and then unmount and open metamorph and tell it you want to use an existing theme, and then pick it... there is no way it wont work if you do it that way...
[Android Themes] erisx:
Does this work on the eris? its mdpi, but when i apply it in metamorph it tells me to reboot but nothing changes :( help?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
I don't have an eris, so I have no way to test, but it should work. Are you able to apply other metamorph themes?
[Android Themes] erisx:
this is actually my first theme :o but do i need CM or do i just apply it cuz i might try it again :P
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
Just apply it.
[Android Themes] erisx:
well. it didnt work :confused: metamorph hates me! :(
[Android Themes] joenathane:
You need to be rooted and you need to have busybox installed, those are pretty much the only requirements...
[Android Themes] erisx:
I'm rooted but ill try again with busybox
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
same problem. When i apply it it just says loading and never changes after hours. I have busy box , superuser, ect. Gave the same message about control file to.

[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
Yeah it sucks.
[Android Themes] fame13:
SAME HAPPENED TO ME BCUZ I INSTALLED THE ONE THAT SAID ASCend SO I TRIED THE OTHER ONE AND IT WORKED
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
okay so i got it to work but all it did was chande the notif. Bar. Just a few icons changed. Shouldnt there be more. Also how can i revert back? Phone is crazy slow now.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
I got it to work also, i just used a different version of metamorph. It changed my lockscreen slider, the notification bar and much much more.
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
Could you post the apk for the version of metamorph you got. Also i didn't find any themes loaded do i load them seperate?

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
Well, right now this is the only theme for us. I tried other themes but they wont work. I will pm you the link.
[Android Themes] erisx:
Can you also tell me what version you used to apply this theme? It worked but my notification bar was off. It was gray and had stripes o.o
[Android Themes] xlarkascendingx:
The only thing that bothers me is the clock and some font colors.
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
Would love the time in the status bar to be green. Same with text in the home screen menu options.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] takenone:
if you could hit me with the version you used it would be awesome. i used the metamorph on the market and the only thing it changed was my lock screen and the status bar on the top lol. looks good from what i see so far though!
[Android Themes] takenone:
Ok this is a bit much, I've followed all previous steps, including finding a slightly older version of MetaMorph, 1.9.4 to be exact, with no luck. I have also tried applying the theme as an existing theme, but once again with no luck. I have tried every version of the theme posted, and they all leave me in the same spot, only my status bar is changing. My device is rooted, and has busybox installed, version 1.17.2. I'm at a complete loss as to what else to try, since I am still EXTREMELY new to this world of android-ology lol.

Any help would be much appreciated since right now my status bar is messed up and I can't even see my clock :eek:
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
From what i can tell it sounds like its working. All it changed for me was the status bar, the lock screen, and a few of the system colors. Loading ring is silver and text boxes are orange there are a few other minor changes.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] joenathane:
What exactly are you looking for to change? if you open up the zip on your computer you can see all the images it changes. If you are looking to make your dock look like gingerbread, this guy has put together a nice zip here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861658
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Changing the color of the text is proving to be very difficult, the Ascend doesn't behave like most other Android phones, it's like they hid the controls....
[Android Themes] takenone:
Not sure what happened when my phone died at work today, but when I got the phone hooked up and charging in the car, the phone booted up, and whaddaya know the status bar is lookin jus like it should! Not sure why, but before it was just a black line across the top, but now its got it's icons and works just fine! What I think it was is I don't recall the phone restarting after any of the attempts at installing. Not sure if this is normal or just a one-time freak occurance, but all good now! Looks awesome, I do admit.
[Android Themes] erisx:
Can anyone confirm if a simple battery pull or this ^ can help my status bar problem of striped lines and stock icons?
[Android Themes] takenone:
One more question, in the pictures you have in the original post showing examples of the status bar in action, I noticed your application dock on the bottom, very casual and formal, exactly what I'm lookin for. How did you make yours look like that, is it one of the launchers out there?
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
kudos to dEris on the signal icon edit. Anything else we can mod through that same method in build.prop?

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] joenathane:
To give credit where credit is due, my launcher theme is based off of this one here

http://nickbutterz.deviantart.com/art/ice-cold-183928469?q=boost:popular+LauncherPro

It's setup for launcher pro, which I believe is the best launcher. I've attached the images to make your launcher look like mine and the PSD source files. You may be able to use these files with another launcher, i'm not sure...

Also to everyone else out there, this gingerbread theme doesn't change your application icons... There are tools out there to do that is that's what you want, do a little search and you'll be sure to find what you are looking for :)
[Android Themes] Mustang915:
Ok i don't have a computer but i want gingerbread theme on my phone also i have the metaphor app. Is there any way i can get the theme?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
You should be able to download the zip file attached to the first post from your phone to your sdcard. Then just open metamorph and pick the Unzip option and then navigate to where you downloaded it on your sdcard...
[Android Themes] McFluffnStuff:
I got an error saying the theme control file was missing.

Hmm....maybe it's a bad download? I'll try again and see what happens.

Edit:

Nope, keep getting the same error. I redownloaded it twice. Is this normal? >_>
[Android Themes] joenathane:
If you get that error unzip the the package yourself on your sdcard in to the AndroidThemes folder and then in metamorph choose the option to pick an existing theme...
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
How do i apply the L.P. themes? The app don't show in my app tray.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Step one, install launcher pro -

Step two, set launcher pro as your default launcher(if you have trouble doing this download home switcher)

Step three, when at your home screen press the menu button and select prefrences

Step four, choose Appearance settings and then dock background and choose custom, the select the dock background I included in the zip

Set five, when at your home screen press and hold on one of the icons in your launcher and choose change icon and then select custom, wash rise and repeat..
[Android Themes] McFluffnStuff:
When i extracted it myself and applied the metamorph, The screen went dark and then it just showed a white rectangle and I couldn't do anything. I pulled the battery and rebooted and got the same thing. Nandroid'd and gave up :/

Ah, well. I can live without the theme.
[Android Themes] jordonkobe:
I have tried it on my I7500(MDPI device), it works perfect, thanks very much!
[Android Themes] dEris:
Out of these 3 files, which one are metamorphs?

v0.2.zip (1.26 MB, 75 views)

Gingerbread3.zip (1.26 MB, 47 views)

GingerbreadAscend3.zip (1.26 MB, 22 views)

Thanks, visit my Ascend site. (my sig)
[Android Themes] dEris:
Is the clock in the status bar white yet? Or is it black like on the OP?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
They are all metamorphs, I would say grab the GingerbreadAscend3.zip, seen as you have the Ascend.

Not white yet, the file that normally controls the clock color is called services.jar on most android phones it's a trivial thing to change the clock color, but the Ascend doesnt have jar files like most other phones do, it has odex files and the phone has to be DE-odexed in order to make the changes but all my attempts so far to deodex my phone have led to it needing to be flashed back to stock, so i'm putting most of my efforts in to try to get the clockworkmod first, so i can do nandroid backups and restores...
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
Would like to say thanks to every one workin our improving our phones. And also a merry christmas to everyone. FILEZ NAVIDAD.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] pimmeludo:
Kind of a noob question, but which file do i need to use with my htc desire hd?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Grab the Gingerbread3.zip :)
[Android Themes] pimmeludo:
Thank you.
[Android Themes] dEris:
Can't we just ask the dev of ROM Manager to include our phone? Or are we close to having clockwork already?
[Android Themes] colombiansg:
how do i go back to the normal theme?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
I'm in the process of trying to get him to make the recovery for our phone, he actually needs an Ascend to be able to do it...

Search for an Android 2.1 or 2.2 stock metamorph theme, or flash your phone back to stock...
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
@ Joenathane. I was gonna post some screenshots of the theme in action with some other gb stuff but when i try to attach them to the the post it says wrong format. Which app are you using and what's the format?

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] joenathane:
To take the screenshots I use the ddms included in the Android SDK, you can upload pngs, bmps, jpegs, or even gifs to the forum. If it gives you too much issues try using an image host like http://www.min.us
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
Thank You for this! It's great to see people trying to help out for phones like the Ascend.
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
ok so joenathane I have installed the Gingerbread3.zip file on my phone, with metamorph I unzipped it, and then I am waiting for it to apply the framework-res.apk

Help me with this :(. It doeswnt go anywhere, just loads forever, can i try another metamorph theme?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Try rebooting your phone, it could take a few minutes to apply. Metamorph can be strange some times.

Make sure your phone is rooted and that you have busybox installed....

What phone do you have?
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
Don't show much of the theme

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Very nice!!!:cool:
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
I have the Ascend by Cricket, and The theme I've tried installing was GingerbreadAscend3. I downloaded busybox, but never opened the app, I have Metamorph (the latest version) So everytime I try appplying the theme in Metamorph, when it get's to the framework-res.apk It either Takes a VERY long time and doesnt move, or the framework-res.apk would be applying, then in the middle of the process, itll freeze and my phone would reboot itself. When the phone is finished rebooting, nothing has changed. Help me please.
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
In that picture, I have everything, except for that bottom row where it says "Huawei Acend" and all those tabs. and where it says "Ninety-Nine Charging" How do I get all of that? Oh and BTW That black status bar worked :)
[Android Themes] joenathane:
The bottom row is a theme for launcher pro, I linked to it here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10063058&postcount=69

"Ninety-Nine Charging" is a free widget called battstatt

some other great widgets are Digital Clock, OneSeven, and Tajm
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
Ok so how do I install that bottom row theme for launcher pro?
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
I had to extract them to my images file to be able to view and select them.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
Ok so selfinflicted1 how did you get your Ascend to look like those pictures you posted up?
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
I use adw launcher. Install it then check market for adw themes. It has a lot of options. The themes will have icon packs in them. After that follow the "wash rinse repeat" post in this thread. Good luck & enjoy.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
Can you tell me what theme and Icons you downloaded? i want mine to look like yours.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
Its a gingerbread theme. Mine wasn't in the market i think i found it on this site. Try searchin " adw gingerbread theme" shouldn't be hard to find. Puttin together a black theme at the moment. So many options to chose from.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
the icons were also included too?
[Android Themes] selfinflicted1:
Yup. All the themes i have looked at had icon packs. I am glad sumone else liked it.

S.I.™ ©®77
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
Thanks! Now one more thing, how did you get that dock?
[Android Themes] Chinedu678:
NVM, I got it, you and joenathane have been a great help! thanks!

hey i just rooted my huawei ascend( cricket) and i removed the crapware and installed barnacle wifi tether and i want to change themes and the bootscreen and stuff like that but i dont know how and i dont want to brick my phone.

can u help me out
[Android Themes] jadden:
SO what do i download to install the theme on huawei ascend i have erything needed but what do i download
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Download the gingerbreadascend3.zip, transfer it to your sdcard, make sure your are rooted, install and run busybox and install metamorph and it'll walk you through the rest of the process...
[Android Themes] jadden:
thank you i have done so but the only thing that changed wast the notification bar and the slide to unlock

how do i get every feature
[Android Themes] joenathane:
There is a lot more that has changed, the other changes are a bit more subtle, you can customize your launcher using launcher pro or ADW, there is information on that in this thread if you look for it. Once the clockworkmod is released for the ascend, i'll attempt to change more, maybe the dialer and the mms app and some other tweaks... in any case enjoy...
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
Joe, I really love the work you ahve been doing, but I am still not able to install the framework. I have Busybox 1.18 and am rooted. I have used Metamorph, and it just sits at the installing screen for the framework. I have tried it several times.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
That's strange, open your superuser and make sure metamorph isn't blacklisted... Disable any task killers or antivirus apps, not sure what else to suggest, are you able to apply any other metamorph themes?

Maybe first try unrooting, then rerooting, uninstall metamorph and reinstall, delete all the theme files and redownload and give it maybe a good five minutes or so to try to apply, other than that all I personally can suggest is to flash back to stock... The clockworkmod would be great right now, because you could backup your whole phone and then flash back to stock to see if worked....
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
They changed the Market again... LOL

Edit, reinstalled Metamorph, installed fine, allowed it on superuser, selected your theme, got and error, it closed to fast to read it, but it said something about we're sorry something, and then it started to install the framework again and it has been 5 minutes now, and it is still trying to install it.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
If you don't have USB debugging turned on, turn it on and try again...
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
Well it changed to the new crappy looking one the other day, I tried your theme yesterday, rebooted twice, with no luck and have been on the market twice today, but it just reverted for me a few minutes ago. Not sure.

I know bad pic, right? In a rush.

Edit: now I am getting an error the the Market isn't installed, LOL. About to reset phone to factory, again.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
I think USB debugging turned on should fix the issue. Yeah, i'm not a fan of the look of the new market place, maybe for high resolution devices it looks alright but to low and medium res devices the top green header takes up way too much space, and don't get me started on the search function, you would think of all people Google would get the search right....
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
I finally got it working, it only took many tries, and the debug is what got it to work! Great work!

Now if we could only get the clock to show up, it would be about perfect. :-) I will post a few screens in a few.

EDIT:

I have more, but why bore ppl with them all.

Edit2: If you aren't able to view my images, give it time, I posted them on a new domain, it may take a while for all of the the DNS server to propagate.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
Looking very good!!! You have some good taste. Did you theme your power control or is that a widget from the market? Edit: Or you just have everything turned off? in any case, the colors are great...
[Android Themes] king_xerxes:
It is the default, just everything turned off.
[Android Themes] cdomin1:
Is it possible to just remove or hide the clock from the notifications bar at the top. That clock has been up there for ever and I barely look it anyway.

I'm just saying the icons would like nicer if they were flush to the right and would take the up the space where the clock used to be?

Is this possible?
[Android Themes] myycoleee:
That Would Be A Great Idea I Hide My Notifcation Bar.

I'll look in to it, now that the clockworkmod is available for the Ascend, i'll be able to work on making the clock white.

Not sure what to tell you, but that problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with the theme, probably some other change you made. You may need to flash back to stock....

The clock was black for me but then I changed the colour to white in the CM notification bar settings
[Android Themes] joenathane:
You need to use Metamorph and it should work.

Are you rooted with busybox downloaded and installed, and usb debugging turned on?

No, the phone has to be deodexed first, which hasn't happened yet.
[Android Themes] boleminoga:
yes, i have rootet phone (froyo 2.2 rom JPA) with busybox installed (1.17.1) and usb debugging is turned on.

i click the theme on metamorph, apply all, waiting and reboot, after that i have changes only in pop-up menu (task manager etc.) but status bar and any icon don't changes.

i tired wiht other theme and i have this same problem.
[Android Themes] joenathane:
it may be that your rom doesn't get its notification bar from the default framework-res.apk or that your phone has a weird resolution, i guess this theme as is won't work fully on your phone, sorry...
[Android Themes] boleminoga:
oh well...

may in the future things will change...

or have you any idea how i can change the notification bar?
[Android Themes] joenathane:
I can't promise anything but i'll look into it.... Who knows, might be simple.
