Hi update did complete,

It now hangs on the HTC Logo on boot :S (i think it is not my lucky day :( )

or is it taking first time very very long ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] circleofomega:
I am making a thread for those who wish to iron out the minor glitches Android today faces...These 3 issues have remained with us all through out, irrespective of the what ROM we are using, or what build of Android we are running...

Here are some the problems...you are free to add in what you think can be a possible solution.

1. Have to start charging it BEFORE running Haret/Android

2. Reboots randomly

3. Hard-ware buttons stop working/responding

PS: non-working camera isn't a problem as it just isn't functional at all...So I am leaving that out as of now...
[Epic 4G General] mister2quick:
So I'm in the fence about upgrading my stock, rooted epic to 2.2. Now with gingerbread in the works, should I even bother with going to froyo and just wait?

[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
please provide a link that says "Gingerbread is in the works"

I failed to see one anywhere.
[Epic 4G General] alfiej:
Are you really doubting that we will be getting Gingerbread?
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
Seeing as we were told that froyo was coming in september, then november and we still haven't gotten an official update I doubt it. Plus samsung has told people that they will not discuss their plans about 2.3 for us galaxy s phones
[Epic 4G General] mister2quick:
Well I wasn't particularly concerned with a Samsung released version of 3.0, as there is a "release" of 2.2 out for the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] *AndroidMaster*:
I would upgrade to 2.2 cause gingerbread source codes haven't been released yet...so it will take time for the Dev to port 2.3 over,cause their waiting for the source codes for 2.2 and 2.3....hope this helps

Just for the record gingerbread is 2.3 not 3.0....
[Epic 4G General] ficjay:
I do. Is it said from both Samsung and Sprint? Because if both dont say it I'm thinking the wait for Froyo means I'll be on an Epic 2 before we see it
[Epic 4G General] *AndroidMaster*:
I think he's talking about a dev porting it over from the nexus and not from samsung or sprint...
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
The second sentence is correct.

This first one is not, unless you are just recalling rumor and speculation. Neither Samsung nor Sprint ever said Froyo would be delivered to Epics before the end of the year. Of course, the end of the year is now 17 days away.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Samsung has said that the epic will have froyo by the end of this year.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Yes, that's what I said. Sorry if I was not clear.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
I thought I would go ahead and make a general thread for the Cricket Huawei Ascend until something more concrete comes along. My apologies to the Mods if the word “Official " is not approved. I just want a section where people can post anything and everything about thier Android Ascends since, well, as we all know, XDA rocks and people are more inclined to look here first then any other development website!

So, post up folks! There are a few of us who have these phones and are pretty well versed when it comes to the ins and outs! I will post up some small write ups and what you can do to get a little extra bang for the buck in the speed department of things and I am sure a lot of others have valuable and up to date information!

I’ll start by posting what I have said about this phone in another thread.

Rooting this phone and removing some of the pre-installed apps and files is a must.

z4 root works great with this phone. Nothing towards Superoneclick but lets face it, its way to complicated for the average user and even then, it's hard to get working. z4 root is a total win in this case, I have managed to delete half the junk the phone came with and have noticed a slight performance boost although it's not much to brag about with a 600Mhz processor. A custom kernel is almost a must as well. I can not play non market games, it's slow if you try to multitask and is all around slow coming from an expert Droid user.

Lastly, the Swipe keyboard. Who ever would want to use that! What a slow nightmare it is to try to type with Swipe in my opinion, I deleted it. The stock keyboard is not much better. Get " Better Keyboard ", it's not nearly as laggy and it can actually keep up with fast texting.

BUT, there is a bright side to all the cons ( almost all the cons )

Rooting, deleting junk and downloading Better Keyboard makes this phone an awesome entry level phone that can hold it's own with the mid range phones. It's no Evo by any means, but, it's a step closer to becoming an affordable real “smart phone ".

The ability to overclock would make it 100% indeed a smart phone and more then capable of holding it's own vs. $300+ phones. It's a project phone, you get what you pay for but, if you have a little time and patience, you too can own a get Android device with no contract, low monthly payments and hours of entertainment from the Android platform. I, am sold on this phone. I have owned other Android type phones and I can honestly say, this phone can be some competition.

Sure it has a poor quality LCD screen and can be buggy out of the box, but like I said, a little patience and determination is what makes this phone enjoyable. And, after all, it's not like it needs constant maintenance. Just a few steps to take out of the box and your set. For $150, I can't complain now that my phone is working like an Android phone should work.

I'm working on getting this phone deodexed, if there is anyone else with this phone that has some technical ability or experience with odex files, let me know, that way this can go a lot easier and quicker... If not, I'll figure it out myself...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xlarkascendingx:
If i knew how to deodex maybe i could help? Teach me?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nyaznguy:
Awesome a thread for the m860. I've been messing around with this phone for past couple days. I have mine rooted and all the bloatware removed. I wish someone would come out with some custom roms already for this phone. This is only my 2nd Android phone ever. The first one was the htc hero, which i could do whatever i want with it and it worked great on cricket.

I'm using this tool here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html

but I'm running in to some issues, it's only a matter of time before I get it figured out, lot of reading and experimenting to do...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
I'll let you know, I'm almost finished with the theme, I just need to make the text readable in a couple of places, namely the system clock and the menus that pop up when you press the menu button...

ALSO I wanted to remind everyone, if you haven't done so already, "everyone should request support for the Ascend for the clockworkmod rom manager, that would be the real first step to getting some real modding done on the Ascend, I nearly bricked my phone a few times working on that theme, I had to reflash my phone back to stock 3 times.... which really sucks. Contact page is here for clockworkmod http://www.clockworkmod.com/contact and here is the contact email address koush@clockworkmod.com"

With the clockwork mod it would be very trivial to experiment with the phone, because if you/I mess up the phone wouldn't need to be flashed back to factory just flashed back to just before it was messed up, which would be awesome....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ben's:
My e-mail has been fired away! Like I said, any help or support I can give would be my pleasure.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mustang915:
As for clockworkmod i don't think koush will consider it... :-\ because i been trying to contact him for the past two months and no answer... he even came out with a guide to do it ourselves or to send him one of our androids for a built. I mean i could understand the guy he must have other important matters to attend to but if he want it to he can make it in two days with his kind of expertise. I think were gonna have to port ourselves a flash recovery and sent it to him so he can make it official.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mustang915:
Here is that guide for porting a flash recovery, hope that someone can figure it out cuz i have no idea what the guide says lol

http://bit.ly/9PQclY
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joenathane:
Those instructions aren't very detailed, they seem to assume that you've done an android build before...

He says he will do it if we loan him a phone, but I can't be without my phone for a week. The Ascend is cheap enough($109.99 on crickets website, it may have to be activated to get that price, but it's $150 in stores), I propose that we all donate a bit of money and purchase one to send to koush, the clockwork dude. It wouldn't take many people to donate for us to be able to do this...

I setup a paypal button for it

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ASD4X4W4ANV3Q

As far as when he is done with the phone, I'm up for suggestions as far as what to do with it, we could sell it and then return as much money as possible back to the donors... However if I had an extra device to mess around with I would definitely use it to learn how to make custom roms, I would use it to try to port 2.3 over to our phone. Other than that I'm up for ideas...

We have an opportunity here to make some great things happen with our phone, let us not forsake this moment!!!!

If you think this is a good idea, either link back to this post or post the paypal link with the explanation to other Ascend forums or threads...

I'm down to donate $30... I will keep everyone updated as far as how much money gets donated...

Whoever has the METROPCS version of the phone, I need to get dump of your recovery partition. Preferably someone who hasn't done anything else to phone but root it and take the crapware off of it. (a.k.a I need someone who didn't mess with the recovery!)

Turns out, the build.prop for Cricket's version of the Ascend and Metro's are quite different.

angry birds does work on the ascend, what you need to do to get it to run is. After you have started it up on your phone, go in to stand by mode(press the power button once) then wait for 30 seconds then it should play. You may need to do it a few times before it will work. Tested on my Ascend and it working.

I don't see why it wouldn't.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Assuming you're on Windows and you've rooted the phone...

You need to download and use the Android SDK. You need revision 7 because ADB was removed from r8. You can download that here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip

Extract that zip somewhere easy to access like C:\AndroidSDK.

Now, you're going to use ADB to push that apk file into /system/apk

On your Ascend, go into Settings -> Applications -> Development. If "USB debugging" is turned off, turn it on.

Plug your phone into your computer. When the Huawei pop-up comes up, go ahead and install the USB drivers for it. Take the MMS.apk file that you downloaded from the posts above and stick it in C:\AndroidSDK\tools\

Now, (assuming you're on Windows 7), click the Start Menu, go to Programs -> Accessories and choose "Command Prompt." If you've decided to extract the the SDK into C:\AndroidSDK, you can simply copy and paste my directions. If not, you'll have to substitute you're own locations.

In command prompt. Change to the SDK tools directory.

cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools

Now, since we've already go the apk in the tools directory we'll simply put it on the phone.

adb push MMS.apk /system/app

Now, you'll see something about it being transferred. When it's finished, just do something like:

adb reboot

and hopefully, your problem will have been fixed.

Or you can go the easier route and download Root Explorer from the Market. Last I checked, it wasn't free. If you do buy it, just put the MMS.apk on your sdcard and copy it into /system/app

Awesome, I've been using the power button cpu priority trick to get more processor intensive apps running smoother but I'm anxious for some overclocking.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
Nice. Does it really make a difference? I haven't tried using any CPU setting apps/tricks to force the maximum output. I guess I'm afraid the CPU will burn out faster...

I need the mms.odex now fellas. Thx to fat and isaac i have the apk placed. Now i just need the matching mms.odex
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ixbrettxi:
It's not a major boost, but if you are getting any lag you can hold the power button until the shutdown screen comes up and then wait about 30 seconds or so and hit the back button. It puts whatever foreground app you are running at top priority. I believe it was mentioned earlier in this thread.

I completely doubt.they might release a rom for mid tier to low end phone like the ascend. At this point when gingerbread was released, and phones with 2.2 will be updated. i am pretty sure ppl are busy working on a custom rom for 2.3 with the source code
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ixbrettxi:
You should probably actually read the thread before posting to it. Yes, stock Ascend is a low end device, but that opens the market on smartphones to a massive demographic, which will make the demand for custom roms etc. very high, the price also makes it a good project phone choice for anyone that wants to get into modding as you stand to lose less if you brick it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] isaacj87:
No, ATM he hasn't said anything specific. The only thing he's said is that he could get it to boot the recovery img and that he wasn't able to flash the dumped recovery image back on with fastboot or fast_image :(

I've provided him the stock recovery.img that I've stripped from the recovery ROM and I've given him a link to the recovery ROM. I also told him that there's a possibility this phone has 4k headers for the boot and recovery img files. I tried experimenting and I took the stock recovery.img and used a script to break it into the ramdisk and kernel. Then, I used another script to put it back together. Surprisingly, it wouldn't boot. I didn't even touch anything! So, I went looking on the web and found another phone that uses 4k headers instead of the standard 2k headers. I'm not positive this is the problem, however.
