sorry only for metro but it sucks, but if you want 2.2 go with cm6, it better and faster than stock will ever be or an official update.

actually opengl is part of the backend on the phone (like linux is) not a apktry google the .apk file and move it to your sdcard and install it.
should be a term cmd that will display its version tho.Milkjugsispro

It works great now and fast.

I should've just kept the android 2.1 OS on my Ascend, I really don't know what the big difference is, plus after I updated it, the camera settings changed on it and now it takes crappy photos! Has anyone has this problem before or am I the only complaining? I want to remove the Android 2.2.2 so can someone please just walk me through it?? I would appreciate it! Thanks!

the camera will suck no matter what you put on it, but if you want to go back to 2.1 than follow this reverting back to stock, ok power down the phone and download and extract this to your desktop MetroStockRecovery-SCRIPTS.zip after you done that press and hold vol down, end key and tap power, your phone should be on the white huawei screen and it should stay there plug your phone to the computer via usb cable, now open the folder that you extracted and run both of these file, first run fastboot-windows you will see a black box come and leave quick, next run metroPCSStock-windows.bat than another black box will pop up and it will do its thing, once it finishes the phone will automatic reboot itself.

I have an Huawei Ascend from Metro-Pcs. When I got the phone the first thing that I did was update to 2.2 and root it. The phone has worked...well as best as can be expected for a cheap phone. However for the past two weeks I have been having problems with the phone. It constantly says that the launcher has stopped working would i like to -Force Close or -Wait. The only way that I can get the phone to work again is by restarting the phone, and then it only works for short periods before it starts doing it again. I have no idea what is going on with the phone and I cant take it to Metro because its rooted and they wont help me. Can anyone offer some suggestions that may help me?
No one has any advise?

Probably one of two things :
1) Requires 2.3(GINGERBREAD) or,
2) The hardware on the ASCEND will not support certain apps, even when running the required O/S.
One particular app that comes to mind is ADOBE FLASH. This phone will not run it.

Read through the sticky threads in the All Things Root subforum here. It's a real good idea to really check them out, it will give you a much better idea of what you can do, and save yourself a lot of time and frustration in the end.

i justed rooted my ascend with gingerbreak 1.2 now what cool features can i do to my phone and what apps do i need?
Ok, now I have gone through alot of these pages looking for my question (asked by someone else) Now, I have a custom boot animation and sound file. Now, with the 2.2.2.2.2.2..........Metro update I know it will be deleted. No worries I have the file saved on my computer. I want to know, what new root program do I need to root the phone when I update it and has the location changed for the boot animation file? I dont want to brick my phone or my wifes (she will castrate me quicker than not). Now again, Name of program for rooting, and file location where hence I do update my phone.

Gingerbreak is the new Z4Root (not really, but kinda.)
And don't worry about bricking your phone, won't happen. Worry that you don't do your backups before fiddling around. Think of your unborn children.
the minicanvas.apk was great on the original 2.1 ascend but with the 2.2 update it was gone ! i believe it looked great an want it back .. anyone else also interested in this??
any developers wanna give it a crack and convert it to 2.2 cause as is i dont think it is 2.2 compatible

After upgrading I can no longer use my usb to down load photos to desktop. I remember there was a resident app on the card that handled that and after the upgrade its gone.
Any help would be appreciated.

just connect the usb cable and simply pull down the notification bar and tab usb, and your all done.
