Ya know the best policy when waiting for someone that is doing a community a huge favor is to not keep askibg them how far along, or how soon. Leave them alone so they can work. They will let us know. And if you have read this thread isaac is pretty good at giving us updates.

I've read through most of these posts and I'm just curious Isaac, how far along are you with your project of porting over Froyo? I'm getting an Ascend as a belated birthday gift myself next month (picked it since I have MetroPCS and its decent basic android handset. Plus it'll be my first) and I'm just curious to hear how much progress you've made with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vadimsof:
ok, so ive tweaked the config on the released kernel sources and compiled it. when make the boot.img form the kernel and ramdisk and trie to push on to the phone via fastboot...it just show huawei logo and reboots in a loop :( so but pushing to a boot.img from a nandroid that ive done previosly boots it no problem. when you open the nandroid boot.img with a hex editor i saw the header was a little diffrent then on the new boot.img.(the first 2000 bytes or so byts of data) so i jus copied the header from the old to the new and it booted =).

ive attached a screenshot

I've put Froyo on hold. I passed on my frankenstein kernel .32 over to JDK and he said he'll make it usable. When I get that, I'll start Froyo back up again.

ATM, I'm working on a custom rom with a custom kernel. So far, I've managed to get apps2sd, busybox, bash, some form of JIT, and the ROM fully deodexed. It's fast and smooth. ATM it's still based off the stock rom and kernel. When I get some time to hack the kernel a bit, I'll OC it and apply it.

Handcent is cool it's just ChompSMS is a little more lightweight. The extra features that it lacks are really features I do not use anyways. Chomp runs a little faster and more responsive on the Ascend too according to my own personal experience. GoSMS is good, but I cant get MMS to work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tilbert13:
Does it convert a message with over 150 characters to an mms automatically? I really like this feature...

I noticed the other two messaging apps (can't remember which ones) I tried had the character limit set at 160(where it would start a second SMS not convert to MMS) and I couldn't find a way to change it. Cricket limits them to 150... Am I missing something..?

He could be a fake, but his ip address doesn't prove much, he could be in new mexico on business or vacation.

edit:What would be interesting is if you had another user with the same ip address. Also one other thing is for sure, if that guy is for real and follows this thread, he may just very well be scared off now.

If anyone is interested, my ROM is coming along nicely. I've named it Icarus-MOD and I've got some good guys helping me with artwork and whatnot. At some point in the near future you'll find it in the ROM section over on myascend.org. (This thread has reached 100+ pages).

The whole point of me doing this ROM?

I want to create a good ROM that is fast, stable, and efficient. I've taken the stock ROM for the Ascend, taken out all the unnecessary crap and done these things:

- Add apps2sd (DarkTremor)

- Root by default

- Busybox and all features added

- ROM is FULLY deodexed

- All apps zipaligned. This improves RAM usage

- Custom theme w/ boot animation. (No more ****ty cricket boot or stupid MetroPCS hello hello hello)

- ALL crapware removed

All these features are working nicely. The ROM is quiiiick. Even with the default canvas launcher. However, I'm in the process of removing the Huawei Launcher. I have to fix wifi, do some tests with Apps2sd, get the new theme on there and all that jazz. It may take a couple days to get everything right, but I'm on the right track. (My Cal II homework won't do itself :p)

No, not at this point. LGeek and I are still looking into this. I think I may have an idea on how to PROPERLY do it, but have not tried it.

However, a custom kernel with swap and EXT3 filesystem support is on my TODO list. This will improve performance with apps2sd (which I just tested and can confirm working).

I just now fixed Wifi. Canvas launcher is also gone and replaced with LauncherPro. So, everything is working now. I just need to get the data services working for both Metro and Cricket users.

EDIT: the new ROM is only 69 megs in size too. :) A WHOLE LOT of crap was removed...
