First of all in advance i would like to thank my testers: "Noahman666" and "Peoplegetpeople" For testing My Work.

Now people i owe credit too:
Isaacj87-For getting cm7 on the Huawei Ascend he is the whole reason we have it, He is God.
Pip2kk-The genius behind cm6 on the Huawei Ascend and for letting me host on his wiki.
PlayfulGod - For fixing the MetroOFF package to work with CWM3+.
Koushik Dutta a.k.a Koush - For his bad-ass recovery.
Steve Kondik a.k.a Cyanogen - Seriously? Do I need to state why we owe thanks to this guy?
THE WHOLE prepaidandroids.net community for being so kind and patient with me.

Works: Everything

Now lets get started here's the overall changelog for this build:



  • New boot animation.

  • Bootanimation speed hack, The new hack makes the CyanogenMod and Particle animation(s) run flawless like
the ascend is a high end phone.

  • Redid USB mass storage particularly, you guys will like
it.

  • Impaled keyboard speed demon edition tweak-After th
first couple of of reboots when the build gets settled in i couldn't freeze the keyboard (I tried hard lol).

  • New modded keyboard-still latinIME.apk.

  • New lockscreen layouts.

  • All of the lock styles found in cyanogenMod settings are different now.

  • New font (Alot more easy to read and easy on the eyes).

  • Completely redid framework-res.apk as much as possible, The only way to change it anymore is with a theme chooser app.

  • Removed stock music.apk and replaced it with
miuiMusic.apk (MIUI rom's music app).

  • Honeycomb Circular BatteryMod.

  • Redid the status and notication bars (More rounded,fits
the screen better,optimized specially for the ascend).

  • New Stock app icons.

  • New and improved market (blue black and white)
Vending.apk, Were at version 2.3.7.

  • New 3d Onscreen button layout.

  • Newly Themed launcher. Thanks -zduneX25

  • Honeycomb wallpapers- again ZduneX25

  • Doubled framerate for system, androidian, and cyanbread themes.

  • Redid the system theme in general.

  • Cleaned up wifi and systemUI everything is fully
functional.

  • I had trouble booting the new phone.apk so i didn't
include it in this build.

  • I generally tried to optimize this build to be smoother and more responsive while at the sametime bring the experience as far from vanilla as possible.

GOOGLE APPS



  • New unofficial google apps modded by me,(were at
06242011 now).

  • Everything works with gapps, I still recommend wifi for downloading at first and for using the "backup and
restore" after signing in to gmail.
LINKS Feel free to download these from your ascends it should work when downloading in stock browser. mediafire doesn't work for larger files (50mb+) dropbox does.



 
Since Metro Off is also required, should the post include that zip as well? just an Idea to help peeps. Unless Im behind on the times and they fixed it already =)


it can be found on isaac's CM7-Ascend page on the same site.

for some reason when i had the link on there it didnt post right but i fix it, lol

Ok, I got it up and running, installed all my apps, and after a reboot, got my widgets running. So far, so good.

It runs smooth. Everything seems to work fine, outside of the now-too-familiar CM issues. It has a great feel to it, and doesn't seem laggy to me at all.

The look to it also has a downside. The font is smaller, and thicker, and just plain harder to read. Doesn't look clean at all. And the color scheme, when looking at the market, is an eyesore to say the least.

All in all, though, I say well done. It is neat to run with, and has a very customized feel to it.

Here are the facts about this cooked wtfe u wanna call it and its cooker.

The author 'cough' of kmod is Dillion aka kentea who was banned from prepaidandroids.net for taking a copy of icarus, renaming and claiming it as his own work. Now with Kmod he did give due credit to isaac, but posed as someone else to get on ppa and make all his claims of he fixed this n that. When in reality all he did was cook up some frameworks, added some apps in either a kitchen or just dropped them in the zip. He didnt compile from src as he claims and he did not fix a thing as he doesnt know how to code jack!!! Then he pulled a stunt in IRC n played dumb like he didnt know what he was doing and got banned again. Then the follow morning came back on ppa with yet another name and begging to be allowed to explain himself n come clean, which he did half assed. His sob story didnt fly and was yet again banned. Then he 'edited' pip's wiki main page issuing a threat that if he wasnt unbanned in 50 minutes he would take PPA down too. Well I reverted the wiki page back to normal, tho he kept trying to edit til pip was able to get online n block/ban him from the wiki, and the PPA site is still there as the lil poser couldn't hack his way out of a wet paper bag.

The reason I am informing you all of the details is you need to know what sort of person he really is, which is a deceiver, poser, rip/kang, and liar.

For those of you running his cooked ROM, I tested it out myself and it seemed ok, was visual purdy, but I def didnt see anything fixed, and I have been told even by him my build is stabler.

Sorry this isnt meant to start any drama just a FYI!!

Dillon also "runs" a ripoff prepaid android site along with a buddy, and they both initially got in hot water while blatantly copying content from PPA for their own site, and not even crediting the original posters or ROM creators, as well as trying to spam advertizement for their site while badmouthing PPA.

About that same time is when the initial Icarus ripoff cooked ROM came about, and Dillon got exposed for that, which didn't in itself earn him a ban, however, his lying and deception did. He immediately rejoined, trying to steal more content, and got caught immediately, banned again.

Now he pulls the same stunt with an account name kentaegrisby68, and after knowledgeable people such as PlayfulGod start asking him about the inconsistencies, he evades the answers and even lied when asked point blank if he was Dillon, so another ban for fraud and lying to staff. Then he immediately creates yet another account (now up to 4 that we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt as him), pretends for a couple hours to be someone different, then admits who he really is and asks us to let him keep his account, while telling other staff that I (an Admin who would NEVER let this fool back in willingly) said he could stay if he spilled his guts. Yes, you guessed it, banned yet again.

Then begins the fun with wiki episode, during which he deleted everything and posts "DON'T F*** WITH DILLON HARDIN B*TCHES", which only served to cause laughter, as well as the threat on PPA mentioned above. If that's his real name, which he's stated more than once, then he's obviously not bright enough to be a real threat, despite the fact that his IP history shows him constantly either proxying or tethering through his phone to try and hide his real IP. Never mind the fact that a Cricket IP CAN be geolocated to a metropolitan area. :D

Anyway, now that you have all the background, show your support for HONEST DEVELOPERS by ditching Dillon's "ROM" if you're using it, and go to something trustworthy.

Hmmm.. I was completely unaware of the story behind it. I had only just heard of it yesterday. I installed the version here from this post and I happen to like it a lot. Lol.

That Dillon guy just sounds like a bad troll. Fortunately you CAN get him into legal trouble if he keeps up. Most trolls are just annoying.

Anyway. I'm chilling on what I have now until Playful puts up his next update. Cheers.
