OK seriously, a lot of you guys are acting exactly like the people who you DONT want on this thread. But you all have to realize the facts, 1. This phone (for the price and mid performance) looks to be targeting the young teenagers and school kids. They really don't need super high processors in their phones and if it IS a necessity, then they would buy an evo or Droid x. So i don't know why anyone is suprised to see 700 posts of things that pertain to the lifestyle of a teen population. 2. This is one of THE most popular android forums out there and the thread title doesn't exactly say "don't post here noobs"

So what i think would solve most of this problem would be for everyone to download tapatalk from the market and search/add/register with myascend.org this site is exactly what everyone is looking for. And shout out to deris for his hard work on the site. I also saw some people post about the site HERE but then CONTINUE to post here when there are dedicated threads THERE about everything that was posted here. So how about less bashing and more structure and direction from Ben, deris, Joenathane, lgeek, and the father of the Icarus mod.

Please help! I've started reading these forums too late!

I'm new to the whole android experience. I've rooted my phone using z4root, installed ad-free, and deleted some bloatware. Unfortunately, I deleted the gtalk app. From what I've read in the forums so far, I have tried to correct the problem and can't seem to get it right. My gf has a samsung fascinate. I compared files from system/app folder and found that I had the gtalk.odex still but not the apk file. Using her phone, I emailed myself her gtalk.apk, dled it too my sdcard, tried to copy AND cut file from sdcard to system/app folder. Neither way worked. I can't seem to get it to go into the folder. Tried restarting the phone, that didn't work. Keep getting FC on gapp.apk and can't dl from market. Please help! What am I doing wrong?

Use Astro file manager or Root Explorer. See selfinflicted1 post earlier in this thread. This should help you out.

How do I remove the cricket bloat ware?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
I have made a full tutorial on how to do that here. You can root and remove bloat, good luck!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cool_on:
If you used an app to remove gtalk, it should give you an option to restore it.

Worse comes to worse, you might think about flashing your phone back to stock rom. Theres a very easy how-to on myascend.org for that.

If you want green progress bars, download the file I attached, unzip it and put the file in your metamorph theme's folder under framework-res\res\drawable and apply it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] salas2324:
Says is invalid
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
The file I linked to is not a theme but is part of a theme. Put the file into the theme folder you are using and then reapply it.

You might also jeed to find the gtalk storage apk if you don't have it. My market would not work until i added this back to the system apps.

I user reboot manager and works great! As long I haven't screwed up the recovery in the first place!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Probably not :( Unless I'm not installing correctly I couldn't boot into a recovery menu with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
LOL. Tried it and the Huawei splash flashes then shifts to the right...I'll have a go at it after I finish pulling cyanogenmod git-repo. I'll probably won't have better luck. But you're sure you didn't have an make errors when building?

EDIT: Strange, but I think it actually somewhat works?? It just doesn't render correctly or something. When I move the track-ball the screen flickers like it's changing options?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Nope no errors, But if your using the same guide, make sure you read my past posts when encounter errors at otatools step. And let me know if you actually get a update .zip if you follow the guide to the end.

Hey, wait a minute. Trying something for me, if you haven't already. Edit BoardConfig.mk and use /dev/block/mtdblock4. See if that one works?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Ok, I'll give it a try
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
EDIT: That won't work. It's the freaking /system mount. Sorry. Do you know why when you build the recovery you need the /data mount location for BoardConfig.mk? Why wouldn't you use /system ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Actually, you could put in /system mount, the data mount and the cache mount. they are all configurable in the BoardConfig.mk And before you ask I did generate one with all of them configured. Still no go.

But since I made the change anyway I gave it a try and it was also a no go.

Have you looked at the whole file? Maybe there are some other config options needed. Have you looked at the partition sizes? this is what I used

# fix this up by examining /proc/mtd on a running device

BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00500000

BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x00500000

BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x0aa00000

BOARD_USERDATAIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE := 0x0bda0000

BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE := 13107
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Everything looks right to me. I ran cat /proc/mtd and I have the same sizes. However, I would trying changing BOARD_FLASH_BLOCK_SIZE to 4096. Take a look at the output of "df"

# df
/dev: 91792K total, 12K used, 91780K available ([COLOR="Blue"]block size 4096[/COLOR])

Could that be it or am I way off?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
I thought is was a good idea and tried it, but still nothin' Boy I would kill for a damn error message :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Yeah, I know right? An error output would be freaking helpful.

If you're still using fastboot. I would give flash_image a shot. I got a different result out of flash_image than I do with fastboot.

Like I said, I'm still checking out a copy of CM repos. I didn't realize the Android source was so freaking huge. Once it finishes, I'll give it a go. I'm going to try and get in touch with Amon-RA and see if he can help out. He's already made a custom recovery for the Huawei Pulse (U81xx-U82xx) and there isn't any reason they shouldn't work for us, but they don't. Maybe he'll pitch in for the m860 users...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Hey did you ever notice that the repo we checked out was for froyo? Do you think it makes a difference if we check out the repo for eclair (2.1)?

I'm doing that right now and seeing if it makes a difference...I don't think it will.

so now im haveing the problem of my wifi wont work after deleteing some bloat ware with ti backup. i deleted uno, midnight bowling,poynt, cricket market, my backup, cricket web and maybe something else but im 70% sure thats it. any ideas on how i can fix this? if i need to start all over can anyone direct me to a guide to do so
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
I've deleted all those things and don't have a problem. You probably delete something else that affects your wifi. If you haven't already download the offical cricket stock rom and follow the instruction and it will bring your phone back to when you pulled it out of the box. Here's the link:

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...3&attachmentName=M860V100R001C153B251SP03.zip

Did you do a titanium backup before you started deleting? After you restore the stock rom, you will have to re-root and then you can restore you stuff.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Hey Joe,

That's great news! When I started posting here, I didn't realize linuxgeek had tried everything under the sun to get this to work. So, I guess I'm a little late to the party.

I'm still trying to get it to work over on my end. I'm having trouble running:

build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh huawei m860 ~/boot.img

I've tried this:

make -j4 out/host/linux-x86/bin/unpackbootimg

But stil no go. In any case, Koush is on it so hopefully we'll have CMR soon enough. Thanks for going the extra mile to get the extra phone! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
After you run this: make -j4 otatools

do this:export PATH=$PATH: (droidbuilddirectorybase)/out/host/linux-x86/bin.

That will get the tool built in the that first step seen by the system.

For the mkvendor.sh script I used this syntax.

build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh huawei ascend /home/jwelsh/img/boot.img

(subsititute your path to boot.img)

Linuxgeek099
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Thank linuxgeek, I'm trying that..Gotta run a quick 'make clean'!

BTW, since you started trying this, you've used the boot.img dumped straight from the phone. Have you tried using the boot.img found in the Recovery ROM from Cricket? I used a Perl script I found and stripped it out. Do you want to try build a recovery with that? I noticed that it's 2.5mb whereas the dumped image is 5 mb... strange.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Okay I had to move the bin file to /bin to finally get it to run.

I've installed lunch, but how do you get it to work?

Whoops, didn't set the build env

Had to run this:

source build/envsetup.sh

After that I was able to run lunch.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
This is how I run it

lunch generic_ascend-eng
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Hey linuxgeek,

Do me a quick favor...

Look in {ANDROIDSOURCE}/device/huawei/ascend/

Do you see a vendorsetup.sh in there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linuxgeek099:
Nope. I don't see it in that directory
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
If you read the directions on Koush's site, it's supposed to be in there after you run mkvendor.sh. However, it's not!

I think what's happening, is when we run lunch generic_ascend-eng, it SHOULD be setting the system to build for the Ascend, but it's not.

Therefore, what happens is it just builds a generic build and that's why we can't boot it. I could be wrong however.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
I've shipped the Ascend to Koush, so the race is on, who will get the clockworkmod working first!!!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
It sures as hell won't be me...lol.

It's too bad I can't get into direct contact with Koush. In any case, when he does get it working, I've already started looking at porting CM over to the Ascend. One step at a time however :D

[Desire HD General] kpf16:
My problem is this when for example I get an sms notification icon in the top bar I tap on my messages app and read it. The icon in the notifications bar goes without me having to clear it in the notifications panel. However this is not the case with emails if I do the same the only way to clear the icon is to do it by pressing clear button in the notifications panel. Any ideas why this is and how I can get it to do the same as a sms notification?
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
Also I view my emails in the all accounts tab, I have my hotmail and gmail accounts linked with my hotmail account as default.
[Desire HD General] grimbola:
Hi, just to let you know that I don't have this issue.

When I get an email I get a notification on the top bar and my Mail shortcut on the home screen shows a number in a blue circle. I either tap the mail icon or swipe the notification bar down and tap the notification. I then tap the email to read it, exit out and the notification icon goes.

I would add that the number in blue circle sometimes takes a few extra seconds to disappear though.

For info I'm using an unrooted DHD with stock ROM - incidentally I also use Advanced Task Cleaner 2.0, but I doubt that would make any difference in notifications?

I feel for you though as it would really bug me if the notification icon didn't go! I hope you get your issue resolved.
[Desire HD General] kpf16:
I have now found if I open the email app with the account view I get this problem. If I open it in the hotmail or gmail view then there is no issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cynosure4sure:
Hello!

I recently updated my Galaxy A from 2.1 to 2.2 Froyo. I was expecting that I will become a bit faster because of the JIT compiler thing.

But instead I experienced it to be much slower in overall response.

I did some research and found that for the same hardware and OS the Nexus one gives better results than Galaxy S.

Does this mean that samsung has not done a good job in writing their Froyo update for Galaxy A and Galaxy S. Or should I format my cell to factory settings to get better results?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
Do more research!

Hardware is not the same at all

JIT is optimised for Snapdragon (N1) not Hummingbird (SGS)

You should alway revert to factory settings after a major update (like froyo) for better results

[TG01 Themes and Apps] (InsertNameHere):
It takes up about 60-61mb i think

Been testing this afternoon, with ffboy's 21908 clean 6.5 rom i have about 58mb free ram, if i disable start menu i can get upto about 84mb free ram, not bad, messaging for sms works ok it seems, shame weather doesn't seem to work, perhaps thats to do with a missing commmanager, not sure yet.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] melpycar:

[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
wow! that seems like a nice amount. on ffboys 6.5 sense rom if i dusable startmenu, htc phone dialer + lockscreen, i can only get a maximum of 81mb at boot, with only 6 tabs enabled! the ram sounds very nice on this. any other bugs found?
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
This sense works SOO smooth and quick! I like it! :D A good option to not use a sense rom, but just a nice clean rom and then this on top! Left me ample of free space to use for my apps!

I have LOADS of apps installed on it, but I am using miROM4 (very stable and clean!) and I have 224MB worth of phone storage used up (out of 268MB) - and in terms of memory usage - 45MB still available after all my apps installed and this sense installed. I am looking forward to disabling start menu and will see how much difference it can make.

Does 45MB sound good guys? Especially after me having a lot of cabs installed already! My phone isn't freezing or hanging at all!

Following works perfect:

Flip Clock

Calender

Quicklinks

People tab

Messaging tab (with HTC)

Emails tab

Calender tab

Internet tab (adding bookmarks a bit slow, and can't see preview)

Photos tab

Stocks tab

Twitter tab

Audio tab

Settings tab

Following doesn't work:

Wireless controls don't work in settings

I need some free RAM I guess :( Any ideas how?

I tried to install Start menu replacement - and lost access to my storage card! I had to use hard reset, now I will update fresh free RAM with miROM4.

Results

:(

Only 71MB free on a totally neat and clean miROM4!! Should I be disappointed? How come miROM cooks sense in his rom with other stuffs and gets away with 80+ free RAM!:rolleyes:
