Just so we are clear, you guys aren't just flashing this aftermarket rom because your bored right? You guys do understand this is in case you brick your phone or are in devenlopment process and need to revert back to stock?

It just looks like people are bored and need to flash something new to their phones and creating more problems then there needs to be lol.

On one note, is this new recovery cleaned up at all? Is it free of bloat or is it an OEM exact replica?

Rooting and cleaning up the bloat is the best way to make your phone run faster and the recovery ROM is just for those testing out new custom themes, bootscreens and so on.

So is the new AmonRa workin? Looks confirmed by a couple of users.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] takenone:
Some people are playing around with the recovery but the main focus is getting a recovery so that the ascend can receive some rom development of its own.

Progress has been made and there is even a port of CM in the works. We know its a risk, but aren't all roms?

And yes the AmonRa recovery is working :)

Thanks bnb25 and BobZhome, those files louforgiveno asked for were actually for me. :D

Somehow I messed up my market and gooletalk and the backups I did in titanium were not fixing it.

If anyone is interested here is what i did to fix it:

Restored market from titanium copied "/data/data/com.android.vending" to another location.

Uninstalled market from titanium.

Copied the vending and marketupdater apk and obex BobZhome provided to "/system/app".

Copied the "/data/data/com.android.vending" back.

Rebooted.

Installed the googletalk apks provided by miztaken1312 here.

Rebooted.

and it worked :) Thanks guys!

The text color of the notification bar

Hi. I'm a Huawei C8600 user from China. As far as I know, ascend is the international version of c8600. I find the way to get white text notification bar on my c8600. Just open build.prop, find hw_customizetype=01, and change it to hw_customizetype=02. Then reboot the phone.

Hope this also works for ascend. :)

Your HTC status bar looks nice. Would you mind share it?

PS. Thanks for your myascend site.

ROM

People people people....leave the Google items alone! LOL. You will end up with a bricked phone...yes, I know our phones can be buggy and slow at times but the essentials must remain on the phone in order for it to function properly.

As of today, I have started working on an OS rom for our phones. It will be accustomed to what my phone is right now, cleaned up and 100% working without all the bloat since that is what I have to work with. That should give us a base to start from. I am enrolling the help of my brother who is an IT grad so, it shouldn’t be to long before I get it uploaded. :)

Only thing is, if Android 2.2 comes out before the ROM is released, I will more likey stop work on 2.1 and start on 2.2. It's to much work and 2.1 will be outdated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
Looks like our score are similar since we have cleaned up Ascends. Thanks for the reply!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
ok so i put the apk file and the odex file in the apps area of system but when i try from there the install fails. I know the files are there they are side by side like the others. So why wont it install. It changed somethin cuz now i dont fc at boot it hapens every time i use market or other gapps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
I needed the gtalk storage and got it. Now have the new market and i can download.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
Is that a file within the apk download? It would be nice to explain what steps you took to correct it so that way other can look back and see if your method could work for them. Just be short and to the point. I would even like to know, good job! :)

download that unzip it, take the dload folder and put it on the root of your sdcard, turn your phone off, hold the volume up button and the hang up button and then tap the power button, once it says unpacking let go of the volume up and hang up buttons...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brandnewlow:
Cool, thanks. And when the phone reboots will I still have my service or will i need to reactivate it? I appreciate your help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
everything you need is in the apk file. load the g talk apk and the odex file back into the system apps file. Then go back and extract all the apk files to an extracted file in your sd. Then i used astro to install service provider file and gtalk storage file. You gotta check them all with astro for the ones that give a prompt for install. (I think they are labeled funny) hope this works for you too.

The stock vanilla theme looks like the stock theme that came with your Ascend. It's the white theme.

Also, I'm working on a Sense Froyo Theme for the Ascend. It will be pretty =D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dEris:
I have officially HTC Sensed my Huawei Device. I used the graphics from an HTC Sense framework running Froyo.

Many of you guys prob won't know the difference between Froyo Sense and Eclair Sense but between the two, Froyo has a few updated graphic UI elements that make the phone even more sexier.

With the stock Ascend, you get a white notification bar. A lot of things are accented with orange, green loading circle etc. But not anymore =D

Download the sexy theme now!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bnb25:
if you are trying boot into AmonRA its VOL UP + SEND, then tap on the PWR button. Vol up + end is for upgrading.

to install AmonRA VOL DOWN + END CALL, tap on the PWR button. that takes you into a DF mode basically all you will get is the white background with the Huawei logo. the plug it into your computer. run install-recovery-windows.bat

when the window closes on your computer you then pull battery and let the phone compleatly shut off then stick the battery back in. Then you hold VOL UP + SEND, then tap on the PWR button. Hope that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hatchetwarrior92882:
I understand that. I had the recovery image (from cricket) from here on my sd card. After i do all that when I hold end +vol up and tap pwr, it installs the stock image from cricket, it dont go to that screen

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bnb25:
the point of the AmonRA is to get you to the recovery screen for you can either revert back to the factory state or install a new rom "the operating system" or make a back up of your system called a nandroid. doing a nandroid is actually a good idea to do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bnb25:
don't feel dumb. the guys that got this all up and running didn't really explain that stuff clearly. I think they assume anyone that comes on these boards looking for that stuff already know what its about. I only figured it all out because I've jailbroken and messed with my iPod touch so much.;)
