Root [ROM][WIP] CyanogenMod 7 | Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) | Current Version: 09122011

Hello all

I made the mistake of calling my builds nightlies as they're anything but. (Nightly would assume an autobuild every night). So, I'm changing my versioning to CM7-Ascend-MMDDYYYY. That way you can still see what build day you're using.

I've made making some radical changes to my github. All of this takes time. I'm not a developer. I just like doing this as a hobby and I don't even use the Ascend anymore.

Here's some things I've been thinking about:

1) I need to get rid of this phone. I haven't had service on it for almost 2 months. Also, since it's in good shape, I'd like to sell it while it has some value left. Something tells me Cricket/Metro are on the verge of releasing the "next best thing" soon.

2) While I have my device specific source on Github, there aren't any takers that want to continue what I've been doing. That means CM7 development MIGHT come to a stop. That would be a shame. Most of the devs that did work on the Ascend have moved on or don't want to develop anything anymore. I hope that somebody will pick it up and fix the disaster I've created.
 
Oh, BTW! I got the electron beam animation to work on the Ascend, but it goes frame-by-frame. Looks quite nasty LOL

Progress is progress. That's great to hear. I hope that someone decides to pick up where you left off so that we can "perfect" our Ascends :D

Thanks so much for all that you have done for our Ascend community Isaac. Your work is greatly appreciated.

You'll have to use fastboot.

Put the phone is fastboot mode by pressing and holding VOL DOWN + END CALL and POWER. It will stay at the white Huawei screen.

Then use fastboot to flash the recovery onto the phone:

Code: 
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-ascend.img

That'll do it. I won't go into more detail as there's so many guides out there.

Thanks, I'm following the guide on the cm wiki on installing the SDK's etc.

Had all that setup on my desktop but not my laptop.

Thanks for the support, guys.

As of now, I'm still hacking away at the Ascend. The build I promised a couple days back is coming today. I finally got GPS working again with the new libs. The new build will be in its usual spot.

What kind of cookies do you want?

I can never say. I HAVE to wipe every time because I need to be sure my changes during builds work.

Technically, you could flash without wiping, but it's really up to you.

I figured as much n tried w/o wiping n it got stuck after the boot screen, re-flashing now...

No, it's part of a firmware image on the phone. Or something.
