rEVOlution(MetaMorph) Green Port of EVO theme made by Manup456 from XDA

I used to love the rEVOlution theme for EVO when I had it. Now that I have (and love) my Ascend, I had to have this theme again. So I found a mdpi port of the theme made by lilwing. I am currently tweaking it for our Ascends.

The original theme made by manup can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736487.

I will release other versions as I work on it.

Instructions on how to install:

Make sure MetaMorph is installed

Unzip rEVOlution.zip

apply theme

** Edit build.prop under /system/ **

ro.config.hw_new_double_signal=0

ro.config.hw_customizeType=02

MetaMorph theme contains a xml file to make your progress bar, volume, etc green

Home replacement used in screen shots is LauncherPro

I have the Icarus mod installed and it's running great, except mms is not working, only sms. Good news though, there is a fix on the myascend forums, sorry I can't post outside links yet. All you have to do is replace the mod's mms.apk with a stock apk and it's good. There has been work on an overclockable version of this mod, but at the present, it's unstable.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pip2kk:
froyo is not here. the c8600 2.2 would need tons of work to run correctly on the ascend. the first big problem is the fact teh wifi chips are different between the c8600 and the ascend. we'd likely need the c8600 kernel source to fix that problem. Or, some cleaver rigging. 3g / data doesn't work yet either.

I Rooted My Phone And I Deleted Some Of The Bloated Apps But I Was Wondering Is This The Only Perks You Get For Rooting Your Droid? And My Phone Isnt Running That Much Faster Then Before. Did I Void My Warranty For Nothing?

Im Not So Smart When It Comes To These Things? Im Surprised I Rooted My Phone Without Screwing it up lol

Can Anyone Give Me Some Info?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kenboyles72:
I had the usb problem to and I didn't format my sd card during setup. After re-flashing back to the original Imod after flashing the oc version, I had usb mounting back. If you formated your card during the flash process, windows wont be able to see the sd card, as it's an ext file system. There are programs that you can install on a windows pc that can read ext partitions. If you didn't format your card, try and re-flash the original Imod version and see if usb support comes back.

I think Windows XP users will have trouble getting the Icarus mod. Over at another site a user named Joser laid out the steps to Issacs and Joanathes mod pretty good.

Not really? A ROM that fully works blows anything ROM that has either data or wifi broken. LOL. OH, MMS doesn't work atm too. So yeah, Froyo doesn't blow icarus out of the water.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:


Ok so i gotta respond to that. The data on my froyo has worked perfect for two weeks almost. True ther is no wifi or mms. But if you doubt me try benchmark pi or any other benchmark test and it is proof that the froyo is WAY faster than imod. Anyone feel free to test it. Also i should point out the imod has a mms problem that requires a fix right after flash. Myself and many other have had market and data problems out or imod aswell. My market works 25% of the time with imod. I ain't bashin imod either, it has a beautiful theme and u.i. 2.2 imod would be my rom of choice. However from a performance standpoint the froyo is 100% without a doubt faster than imod. This attracts me and other users who don't care for lag or apps that take ten seconds to open. That's all. No need to try to mock anyone. Run the tests see what the proof says.

I know it's not much help for cricket users, but when I removed all my metropcs bloatware I kept the AppStore installed so that I could get the apps back that I deleted should I ever need to. Not sure if cricket has a similar application or not.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] morningsidesanitarium:
Same here but not before a lot of trial and error. Had a lot of issues the first 6 flashes. :) But it's wonderful now with no issues whatsoever.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dEris:
Doesn't matter if benchmarks show it's faster. If everything doesn't work, then it's not worthy enough to "blow" anything out of the water. Yes I agree, Froyo is nice. But when things are broken or do not work, it sucks.

Huawei Ascend M860

Dear Sir;

I have Huawei Ascend M860 2.1-Update 1 operating system.

Can I upgrade it to the 2.2 ? There are many apps can't run under my phone because they required 2.2 OS and I really need those apps.

I will be happy if you can advice me.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Exleh:
Okay guys I need some help, I have the M860 from MetroPCS, its rooted, and Ive done all sorts of stuff on it like removing bloat apps, flashing roms, etc. But After my recent plunge into theme changing I wanted a Black Notification bar, So i got a metamorph one and it worked but I couldnt see the text. There are all sorts of ways posted on how to change but I tried editing build.prop and its not working also the phone apparently cant connect to ADB, so im really stuck. Also I applied the Android Bluz metamorph theme and was disappointed when the Dialer and Contacts did not turn blue like the screenshot. I really need help because only parts are turning blue (check boxes) etc but stuff like the dialer stays green and black but was blue on the screenshot. Please help?

What exactly does it say?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] plastered badger:
Can anyone confirm, or deny, the validity of this load of #*%@ I read on Android.net?

It says,

" Huawei Ascend Upgrade to 2.2.1 OFFICIAL INFORMATION

Recently the huawei Ascend became able for the 2.2.1 upgrade and it seemed like a great idea.

I recommend doing the upgrade IF AND ONLY IF YOUR PHONE IS UNACTIVATED AND YOU PLAN TO KEEP IT UNACTIVATED otherwise your wasting your time and are gonna be in need of a new phone.

If your phone is activated and you preform the upgrade your gonna have to contact your provider after for programing from their side of the line because manual programming is impossible. and your service will only last for about a week till the phone shuts down and turns back on reporting a UIM CARD error. This at the moment is impossible to change, contacting customer support will not change a thing and you will have just violated your Warranty. So I recommend not doing it and this information is confirmed because I went through this recently." -Submitted by username Waveyy Brenan on Android.net

And the froyo issue with the card error is because it is a for the asian version. That model takes a sim card. You can fix the issue by flashing back to a 2.1 rom and then back again. Nandroids won't fix it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
I no longer have my 860 but I can ask a few questions that may help.

1. Are you rooted

2. Do you have superuser installed

3. Are you giving titanium back up super user permissions

If yes on all three then I would check around on my ascend.org. they may have changed the name to prepaidandroids.net also. At one point it was a pretty helpfull site but I know some of the mods can be dicks about askin questions that have already been answered. I know for sure there was a lot of diff between the cricket and pcs builds. Also have you tried root explorer?

CM7.2-Ascend

Available in ROM Manager too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
They still doing good over at ppa.net? Hadn't been on there in forever. Think I am gonna go check it out and see what they still got cookin for the ascend m860. I got rid of mine and re activated my old faithfull g1 but had thought about gettin another ascend to mess around with. Its pretty cool they are keepin up with the cm7 updates. Has anyone else noticed the ascend2 has pretty much the same specs as the first. I thought for sure maybe it would receive a better cpu or camera but it looks like the android 2.3 is the only real diff. Is there any other changes I have over looked because it looks pretty much like the same setup as the older model?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PlayfulGod:
Me and BobZhome have been keeping CM7-Ascend going, but Bob no longer has an Ascend so its just me now. And its all a learning experience for me so lol.

But ppa is still going, small tight nit group of good folks.

The A2 is basically the same as the a1, only real improvement is it has a dedicated gpu. CWM for the a1 doesnt work on it tho, so it still needs that developed for it.

I also have a modded metro 2.2.2 ROM out which is on my wiki (accessable thru ppa wiki) and all my ROMs are avail thru ROM Manager as well.

If you mean to wipe everything I did that and didn't work maybe my phone doesn't support that rom

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PlayfulGod:
over 1300 downloads from ROM Manager alone and its linked to the wiki on several other forums and only a handful of reported problems. but the Ascend is one of those all phones are not created equal devices lol.

Sorry you could get it to install on your phone. You might wanna try one of the older builds list on the wiki.

hey guys i need some help. i rooted the cricket ascend and manage to install clockwork mod and flash cm7 which booted. i overclocked to 710 mhz and phone is boot looping. i tried to boot into recovery from the bootloader to factory reset but whenever i try the button combination (vol. down + end key + power) i just get the huawei white boot screen and it freezes. i never had issues flashing roms so this is a first. i need to get into recovery to reflash cm7 or stock rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
Sounds like you checked the set on boot option in the settings. That can cause the boot loop with unstable cpu freq. You shouldn't need to boot into recovery from the boot loader, there is a key combo to go straight to recovery. Follow the link in the op to the original thread and it should have the key combo. I just can't remember what it is off the top of my head. I think the white screen is the boot loader on the ascend.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brannondean09:
okay so there are two ways to fix this issue one is to go into boot load vol-down+end+power (it is spouposed to stay on that screen) but this way is not recomemnded as it takes longer but still a viable option or you can boot into recovery and reflash cm7 which is what it looks like you are trying to do.....make sure that you take the battery out and that when you put the battery bach in that it does not automatically try to start back up after that you aare going to want to press the following key combo vol-up+send+power after that you will be in CWR and you will know what to do

I need help with this phone. I have searched, searched and searched some more. I have tried about 7 different methods and not one thing is working. The problem I have is the phone won't load passed the initial boot screen. All you see is that NBC looking screen no matter how long it stays on. What happened to it to make it this way? No idea. I was told it was in the middle of an update and the battery died, but who knows.

What I'd like to do is get it running again. Back to stock, rooted, un-rooted...IDC. Just want it to work so I can fck w it and make it a suitable toy for a 7 year old.

I have tried many methods (see links) and not one thing works. The only different thing that has happened is if I hold the Call, End and Power buttons a purple screen comes up....then nothing. SO if anyone knows how to get this thing working...That aforementioned & year old will <3 ya. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
I remember that happening to vibrant phones. The external sd card wasn't mounted properly so the computer saw it as a cd drive.

What is your computer set up? A windows 7 pc installs the correct driver files. A windows xp pc needs you to get the drivers and install them. I pray for people with mac's.

Just search the general section for "windows xp usb drivers". You don't need to install samsung kies.

Unpack the APK in question, replace the icon PNG, resign, install. -- Don't forget to uninstall the old.

You could also install a custom launcher and use a custom icon. -- Far easier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] selfinflicted1:
Find a aftermarket launcher. Launcher pro, adw, are a couple of the good ones. Once you have these search the market for launcher themes. Most of these themes contain icon packs. Hope that points you in the right direction.
