I just got this phone and i hate that the original camera does not have a focus button, making my pictures fuzzy and blurry most of the time.

Can anyone please recommend a decent camera app that will give me the ability to focus and clear my image before i snap the shot??
 
Is there and app that will allow pinch to zoom on the Ascend?

Is there an Android App Equal to the Iphone Skootch App? Its the app that allows you to scan and post your text converstation on facebook.
 
I don't think pinch to zoom will work on the Ascend, it isn't capable of multi-touch. I could be wrong though...

As for your other question, I think I saw something like that a couple weeks ago... can't remember what it was called though. Sorry.

best way to improve is to flash CM6/7, but not everyone wants to venture that far away from stock. In that case you can install ClockworkMod recovery (CWM) and flash my PlayfulMod over your 2.2 update. Advantages? Rooted, all bloatware apps in system apps will be gone and the rest can be removed by usinf root explorer to delete the app dir in the /cust/metropcs dir. It is also deodex'd which makes it easier to theme. Also has DT's apps2sd installed which will allow you to move all apps to the sdcard and free up internal storage/memory. And I change out the bootanimation and sound to a custom one which you can change to something more to your liking if you so wish ;)

You can get CWM through ROM Manager, which you can get from the Market.

+1 thats the easiest way of getting it n installing it, just tap on flash CWM twice in rom manager to ensure it installs. Once its installed it should list it as such and version number. After that just follow one of the detail guides in the Ultimate guide thread.

OR

if you are wanting to go with one of my builds, you can download n install them thru rom manager too ;) Free Mon - Fri, and will need the paid version to be able to do it on the weekends.

Nice lol, but where do i find awesome ones? can i have one of your boots?

all the bootsanimiations I have used have came from xda ;) If they're not made for the resolution of my phone (the ascend in this case) I open em up in winrar, dbl click on the desc.txt (will open up in notepad by default) and edit the resolution (first 2 sets of #'s) to 320 480. then click save in notepad, then winrar will prompt asking if I want to replace the file in the archive, click yes, and whala the resolution will fit the ascends screen. then place the bootanimation.zip in the system/media dir on the phone n reboot to see your new bootanimation.:)
 
Ok so i got the 3D Digital Weather Clock Gadget (Unpaid Version). However for some reason the time is not staying updated with my system time. If i don't use my phone for lets say 3hrs, and i go and unlock it, the time on the gadget is 3hrs behind.

I am running the stock 2.1 rom, rooted, with all the junkware removed. I am using SetCPU, and SD Increase as well as VM Heap. Other than that i am not using any task killers other than Cachemate which i would not really call a task killer.

Any suggestions. I have tried updating to most recent release, as well as going back to older versions, and still the same problem is happening.

By any chance, do you happen to have a battery saver app such juice defender or similar?

Did you remove alarms or anything? That can screw things up here and there. Can you get the correct time by rebooting, or by placing the phone in airplane mode and back out again?
And, yeah, Cachemate is definitely not an task killer.

tap the weather app and go to setting, it should be options for udating time, might have an option to refresh on unlock in there, majority of the weather apps have that option.
