I just installed CM7 due to some random reboots/freezes with Evervolv (that I attribute to kernel issues since I flashed a new one...nevermind that part right now)

Anyway, I'm having a problem with some widgets. My SetCPU widget works fine, but some aren't - my Juice Plotter widget isn't available to select, nor is my SimiClock widget. I've verified that they are both installed, but they just don't show up when I go to add widgets. Any suggestions?

I use Launcher Pro as my app launcher with two rows of dock buttons that lets me access all my vital apps. On my home screen I like to run the SimiClock widget since it gives me a clock, weather, and battery percent. Below that, I have the SetCPU widget just to keep an eye on frequencies and temp (but I use CM to set the frequencies...) next to that, I run juice plotter to see how much battery I have left - it's a very zen type layout for me, and not having this is screwing with me...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Go to settings>application>manage apps and click on the downloaded tab. From there scroll down to each app you want to have a widget for and make sure they are not installed to the sdcard. If they are move them to the phone. No app widgets will work if the app is installed to the sdcard. After you move the apps to the phone, you may need to reboot to get them to show up in the LP widgets.

Thank you so much - that was exactly it! Got my beautiful home screen back now :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerminusEst:
Just something to keep in mind if you continue having issues with launcherpro and cm7..I basically had to dump launcherpro while running cm7. Launcherpro was my first non-stock launcher and it was what I was happy and familiar with...but once I moved to cm7 it became a nightmare. Constant lockups and forcecloses, my homescreens would lag up..

Now, I know full well it could just be a problem more with my phone and the way I use it than a cm7 or LP issue, but it was a consistent issue that came back any time I tried to move back to LP and went away whenever I moved to another launcher (using GOlauncher now).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
If you want to store apps on the sd with functional widgets and all, you'll need to go the ext3 route. Look for the darktremor a2sd thread on here. You'll also need to repartition your sd to create this ext3 partition, so make sure to backup your sd first.

Hi;

I noticed in dmesg it says :

I did a google search and there is a calibration guide for OMAP devices, see http://omappedia.com/wiki/WLAN_FirmwareCalibration which doesn't work on Legend. Did anyone else tried to this before?

P.S: Worth to note that this only happens when the device is in AP Mode.

What can be done and what softwares can be run that cant be done in stock?

any real cons to rooting the tablet?

Also, is it possible to make netflix think the tab is a desktop or a phone that is verified to work with netflix? just wondering if netflix is possible on A500. as far as i know, it isnt

For me... top reason: CIFS support !!!! (and another Thank You!! to thor2002ro for providing the CIFS.ko module - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058713).

CIFS support allows my rooted Acer to mount network shared drives on my Windows PC and then access them via any application on the Acer as if they were locally attached. This means I have access to my PC-based Music, Movie, eBook and Comic/Manga libraries.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Biggest reason for me is that I can then run Titanium Backup and regularly back up and restore my system.

Second reason is custom ROMs since that's the only way A500 purchasers will ever see any really decent OS upgrades.

I don't have Netflix, but I know that Skyfire and Dolphin HD browsers both have settings that let you change your "user agent" to "Desktop" instead of "Android"
[Acer Iconia A500] TrevFMT:
Netflix wont work. There is a leaked netflix app out but it's disabled for honeycomb. Unfortunately switching a browser to a desktop agent mode wont work either because netflix on the desktop actually uses silverlight rather than flash.. It's all pretty stupid. The app works PERFECTLY. They are just choosing to disable it
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Sadly, Netflix is device activated and not OS. Exception being laptop and desktop OS's.

All portable devices must go through an approval process and the OEM needs to pay Netflix to set the device up and run on Netflix servers. The only OEM for an Android device to do this so far is LG (Revolution).

Not sure if this is how it will always be, but does not look like it will be app or OS activated.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaya500:
there's no way to trick it to think we are using lg revolution?
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
If Acer aren't going to provide decent updates to the OS they had sure as hell better unlock the boot loader.

I don't understand why they would lock it, it makes the device much more desirable unlocked. What do Acer have to gain by locking it?
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
reduced liklihood that they'll have to take a slew of returns from people bricking their tablets by screwing up rom loads by people that barely know what "computer" means
[Acer Iconia A500] TrevFMT:
Except for the returns that are going to happen for random shut downs and the fact that I can't connect to it with my Mac.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaya500:
acer has to release os. Updates??? Crap. I thought Google did and I thought that os. Upgrades would be universal
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
The problem is the people can still root their device, then brick it and have no recourse because of the locked boot loader. So it could actually end up worse. If I bricked my device I'd take it straight back to the store I bought it from and get a new one. If the boot loader was unlocked I could restore with custom roms.

I know, sucks eh? I was under this wrong impression too when I bought the device. I thought Google would update and we could get it straight away, turns out we are at the mercy of Acer for the updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] sigma0824:
Bootloader

is the bootloader locked for good or are we waiting on a hack? I like both the asus and acer tablets, I am going to buy whichever tablet has the most community support / activity (well if asus ever gets stocked locally). This is why I love my nook color so much. With the capability of booting from an SD card it's practically unbrickable. I accidentally formatted my boot partition using CWR, with any other device it would have been devastating.

[Bravo General] jimbothigpen:
Hello all,

My wife's Bravo just arrived today, and I'd like to get it up to Froyo this evening, and I have a couple of questions about the various methods of getting it updated.

First, I've seen there's the SBF method, the update.zip and recovery method, and the AT&T OTA update. I'm aware that the AT&T update will (obviously) have all the AT&T bloat, including Motoblur. Is the SBF update "clean"? Generic 2.2.1 Android? I'd prefer to load without all the AT&T crap, and without Motoblur, but if all three methods cripple the phone with that garbage, I figure I may as well do the easy AT&T update route.

Any guidance?

Thanks!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
The SBF will have all AT&T bloat etc. AT&T OTA will probably be easiest, and tmk, the same as an SBF flash.
[Bravo General] jimbothigpen:
Thanks for the info -- that settles it for me.

Ok, i have finally received the much anticipated 1.83 update. I did a final speedtest to kiss my slow speeds goodbye, and installed the new update. Before the update my speeds were 1.89 mbps down and .43 mbps up.. now after the upgrade i am getting .43 mbps down and .11 mbps up!!! what is going on? i have hard reset my phone, i have tested multiple times with an excellent signal and now my phone craaaawwwllsss. i cant even download anything from the app store because of my connection.

Has anyone had a similar issue, is there a way to go back to 1.57?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpolansky:
I think the downstream speeds are less after the update. Fastest speeds of all for me were using the Telstra radio from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052914

But this was before the update and while I am tempted to go back to the Telstra radio I am not flashing it at the current time. Mainly because I don't have an sbf with the .83 radio to go back to if there is an issue. So I would strongly advise against using the Telstra radio (post update) until one of the developers figures it out, confirms it is ok and provides an oem .83 update radio to fall back on.

At first I thought it was a time of day thing but I am convinced the downstream speeds are less. As to the other question in this thread I don't think afterupdate will work if you didn't run the beforeupdate on .57 before updating. You can go back to .26 and then to .57 but I don't think directly back to .57. This is what I recall seeing in vrs threads.

If you do a search you will see folks are using Gingerbreak to gain root after the update.

Imho

Do some real-world testing in addition to speedtest type stuff. Speedtest app has a lot of variance for me post-update. Down is 2-3.5mbit, up ranges from 400kbit-1.5mbit. The down is pretty much as it was before. The up is a good bit better than the 150kbit I had pre-upgrade but it almost looked throttled...initial burst then flat 400kbit after a few seconds.

I did test FTP and scp file uploads to a few different places and the upstream seemed more stable than speedtest suggests. Stayed above 1mbit and usually around 1.5mbit.

I did a spf flash yesterday and I have really good speeds at home. At work, it's another story. Since I only get 1 bar here in the office, the old radio performed better by having a consistent connection whereas the new update has is having a hard time maintaining the connection. Sucks since I use my the cell connection more at work than at home.

however the more i tested the more things slowed down...all the way to that abysmal 150kbps down, 85kbps up.

BUT, testing on an iphone4 side-by-side yielded equally horrendous speedtests too (200kbps down/up) so i'm not really concerned...could just be a network thing...

cell network is a little different

Cell network up/down speed is not as consistent as landline. The speed can change dramatically on per second or even per micro second basis. Also having more bars on your phone does not directly translate to faster speed.
