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

I would like to appologize about my words on this thread. Being a computer technician, I do not use the word "Hacker" as someone who writes virus's or other malicious code. I use it as someone who modify's software for to make it better for themselves and/or others.
Thank you PlayfulGod for seeing my main point in my post.
<3 Some of us (Namely me) see a lot of people talk badly about people who work so hard...It's hard sometimes. I guess we just all see things from a different perspective, That's why it's so easy to clash. ^.^ You aren't leaving right? *Cyber Huggles*

Oh and yeah PG, He's super duper smart. \M/

I'm staying. I've been trying to help out as much as possible, but this is my first Droid phone, like many others here, and before this one, I had a Blackjack. "Boo Microsoft." lol

Terminology is a speculative thing. You might say one thing and believe it to mean something, while to another person, it could mean something quite different. Honestly, I don't know how/why everything got so heated. Working on Icarus, CM6 and now CM7 took a good bit a research. It took me months (I ported CM6 in January) to get things working the way they do. I wasn't offended by what you said, merely explaining that I, and every other developer who works on ROMs, do the same thing the Huawei employee does...just for free. Yes, I do use the term "hacker," but mostly as a joke.

Like I've said before, it used to be a HUGE running joke around the Ascend community about Gingerbread running on the Ascend. I've held onto my Ascend for this long because I was afraid if I stopped development on this phone, there wouldn't be anyone else to really take over. For the most part, I've been right. I don't want money or praise (although beer money would be good :)), but just respect/appreciation for the hard work I've put in this phone and my respective projects.

Now, back to CM7. I noticed the GPS position is sometimes wonky. I've been pushing some fixes to my repos to hopefully fix that. To the CM7 builders out there, you can build from repo with the new fixes as they're up. I've also pushed some fixes for the SDCARD/Vold/NParts issue. The disappearing USB menu fix has not come yet (I don't think), but I hope somebody has noticed over in CM hacker land.

P.S. Water under the bridge people. I really don't want this CM7 thread to get locked, so let's just all bask in the warm glow of CM7 and enjoy some Gingerbread cookies.

I'm finally back! It's been a little while because I had some things to deal with and I've been REALLY busy. Anyway, I'm most likely going to flash back from CM6 to CM7 once the USB mounting/SDcard issue is fixed. I'm really looking forward to it!! :D
SD thing is really just an annoyance. Adds an extra step at flash, but I have had no problems since. Just BU your SD to the Comp, flash, format your SD than reload your SD data.

Yeah, it bugged me too. I think I have it fixed now. I have fat32 -- ext4 -- swap (3 partitions) setup going on my SDCARD right now, so I think I have it fixed. I'm having some people test it out to make sure there's not problems.

The word is still out on the hide and seek USB menu. It's weird. Like I said, USB mounting and SDcard work (and apps2sd), it's just we can't get to the menu.

The new build will be up later tonight (it's already been built) if there are no problems.

I'm not sure if this was posted already and I'm actually pretty tired so...If you have MetroPCS, You will need MetrOFF. PlayfulGod has modified this so that it NO longer shows the "Roaming Indicator Is Off" sign. Here is a link to download it.

MetrOFF.v1.2-MMS-[GB]-[CM_AOSP]-No-Roaming-Off.zip

Thanks PG. ~.o

alternate link for all just in case...MetrOFF.v1.2-MMS-[GB]-[CM_AOSP]-No-Roaming-Off.zip

please remember to post bugs if any, and dont forget to show your appreciation...Happy Flashing!
