I partition mine on my computer. You may be able to just repartition in CWR. I dont know. Yeah anybody Ive ever came across that has ever gone over 64 or sometimes went with 64 has ended up with some major sd card issues.

Hello forum. I need help with a problem I am having with my huawei ascend 2.2. It is rooted. I wanted to change the boot animation and sound. I succeeded with the animation, but am having a lot of problems with the sound. I went to /system/media/audio/ui and moved the bootStrapSound.ogg elsewhere. I then got the mp3 that I wanted it to play and converted it to .ogg. I know that the phone can play it because I was able to listen to it in music. I then renamed it to bootStrapSound.ogg and moved it to /system/media/audio/ui successfully. I booted up and the HTC thunderbolt animation I had assigned played well, but there was no sound. It is about 52 seconds long and just a bit under a MB. I do not know if that has anything to do, but after searching various threads and forums I was not able to find an answer. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or give me advice?

On stock I believe you have to put the sound file in data/local
 
I just copied the ogg to /data/local and rebooted, but still no luck. Is there another approach I can take? I am going to try to replace it by the Droid robotic voice and put it in both and see what happens...

Thanks for the info Fastbreak, after steering me in the right direction I had to figure something out myself:
After I upgraded to 2.2 (Metro PCS) the "bootanimation.zip" needs to go into the following location, I used root explorer.
cust/metropcs/us/media
The sound file goes to the same place.
Now I have a cool startup sequence, thanks 2 U.

I tried it but it didn't work.... I saved it under /data/local. As bootStrapSound.mp3. It was the mp3 version of it. Is there any chance my boot system might be corrupt?
 
If you go to PG's build, it goes in that ui folder. Put it in the ui folder in mp3 format and name it so it says android_audio.mp3 But if you want the Droid sound it already has it. So just change the boot animation which is in the system>media folder
 
Okay, I must be dense but I can't get z4root to work. I have a stock Ascend with 2.2.2. I run z4root for a permenant root and it runs the exploit then tries to acquire shell and then it dumps out to the file manager or the apps drawer. I try again and I am back to square one. I have debug on. The apk is in the SD root. I uninstall Lookout and extended controlin case it is blocking. I have tried to stop most of the apps. No luck!

I need this to install another language. Any ideas of what I have done wrong. Also my apologies but I did not see this inthreads.

Thanks,

Oppyusa
 
If anyone actually cares @ this point in time,I just left my local CRICKET dealer & was told that there was an official update to 2.2 FROYO available,via visiting a corporate CRICKET Location.
Anyone out there that can verify?

What? They decide to do an update AFTER they stop selling the phone? Lol. If this is true, Cricket has truly lost their minds. And a Froyo update when Ice Cream Sandwich is ready to come out? Classic.

Cricket Huawei Ascend:$129
Cricket Android plan:$55/month
Cricket giving the Ascend a Froyo update when Ice Cream Sandwich comes out next month: priceless:D
 
People of the huawei ascend user world... if you have Metro PCS and want to upgrade from Android 2.1 to 2.2 all you have to do is go to your apps and touch on the "App Store" app and then just type in huawei ascend upgrade. Download the software and tap install. Make sure that your battery is fully charged. It's that simple.

+1( .2.2.2...... :P )

I couldn't agree more.

An upgrade to 2.2@ this juncture = receiving a CHRISTMAS GIFT in JANUARY after you went & bought what you wanted yourself.
Whether this is true or not,the sentiment is NOT appreciated.
 
LOL
