An update on the current situation. As I stated in my post above, I'm working on USB and WIFI hotspot.

I've managed to get the menus enabled, but the functions don't work. I've been reading that I would need to enable this support in the driver, but I don't have the source for that. I'm trying another build that kind of hacks into place and hopefully it'll work. I'm not too concerned about USB tethering.

Good news is that the overall performance seems to be up. I was able to play Angry Birds (with the background off) and it was smooth.

The electron beam animation won't work. I thought maybe it would render the animation without HW support, but it would seem it doesn't. The Ascend is probably one of the only phones that DOESN'T have a dedicated GPU. Hell, even the original MT3G does. A crappy one is better than nothing at all.

I have the Optimus V and while the Ascend does run Gingerbread fairly well, it's really becoming apparent that 2.3 was never meant to be on the phone. Most of my goals for the Ascend have been met. I wanted to get a mostly functional port of 2.3 on the Ascend and I think I have.

Nice work..I'm impressed. Any word on MMS yet?

In terms of overall performance and features, which would you say is better?

for the past week.... eclair, froyo+, icarus and cm6/7 all do it to me. i think it's a market issue.

i hit retry a couple times and then cancel and it tends to do whatever i told it to anyway. just got to tap the app your getting again and make sure it started.

i have both and as i said before, it's a toss up. your best bet is to find some time to try both and see what suits you better.

+1 on 2.1, cm6 2.2, and cm7 2.3.

A Friend of Mine Asked my A Question about CM7 and I dont know if it will work or not so im posting it on here. For you Guys the Experts

If I go back to Stock and use APN Backup & Restore then flash to CM7 would that help with the MMS?

Just a Question Sorry

Look at the first post on the first page. You should really look before asking this. It will make it easier for everyone.

Very true, but I think these guys are just tryin to warn you...its not as simple as running an app on your phone and magic does all the work..

I feel for ya tho, as we are truly all "noobs" at one point..

That being said heres my pro tip hahaa...

Read, read read read read...learn what a ROM is, learn what CWM is, learn what Rooting means...

Youll gain much more if you read and learn it yourself. Good luck!

Also, he should wait until he's comfortable with the process before actually doing it.

Thank You for everything you have done so far I finally like using my ascend. One thing please don't give up on a mms fix, that would really make this the best rom for the ascend not that its not already but mms would definitely make it complete....

If I can't hook up my phone to my computer via USB to transfer data etc. then I'll never try this mod.

Sorry to hear you are giving up on that.

Am I the only person left who uses a wired router and has no Wi-Fi access where I live? LOL

USB Data transfer does work..I think he was referring to USB Tethering for internet access on a PC through your phones web service.

If i were you id jump on Craigslist or just go to walmart and get a wireless router man lol..its totally worth the 50 or so bucks and it makes your life so much easier.

FulciLives · Apr 2, 2011

Oh I was under the impression that USB didn't work AT ALL

And no I don't want wireless. It's slow. Plus I have a desktop that doesn't have wireless built in and I just don't need it.
