OpenVPN support?

Hi. Now that this is based on Acer 3.1, I figure I'll play with this a bit (I last played with 1.0.2, and liked it a lot). My initial question, though, is whether this brings any kind of native support for OpenVPN? Can anyone confirm?

If it's not there, what would it take to get that baked into a future version of the ROM? I set it up for 3.0.1, and it was a royal pain in the butt.

Also not happy that the Splashtop people can't get their act together... I just paid $5 for that!!! Oh, well -- they're working on it so it'll come eventually.

Also excited to see whether we can get Netflix and Hulu working on this... that would be a major victory!
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
splashtop can work, just intsll pstch from dexter
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
ill take that as u r using that patch on this rom
[Acer Iconia A500] Skyseb:
Since 1.0.5 is based on leaked Acer update, do i need to swipe everything ? I come from Virtuous 1.0.4.

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] aceflor:
Well, not a noob but not an expert either, and I just installed this ROM flawlessly. So wanted to say that if you follow everything as (very well btw) described in the first post, there is no difficulty whatsoever with installing the ROM, which btw just simply rocks.

Great job guys !
[Acer Iconia A500] Slowie911:
HDMI is working now flawlessly. just tried it now

Flash v1.0.5 over stock ROM. Everything is fine, no wipe, all apps remain :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dmatusek76:
is there a czech localization in 1.0.5 ???
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Awesome! Didn't see this because I had issues with PRIMEE and haven't monitored that thread. I'll try this on Virtuous tonight!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] WishRyder:
I flashed over the top of 1.0.4 just to test. All of the apps I tested seemed to work fine, but a system widget or two were now formatted incorrectly. I didn't dig too deep after that and restored back to 1.0.4.

I would personally recommend a full wipe going from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5, as I would assume there's a high probability that other things may be screwed up as well.

EDIT: Cancel that. I did a full wipe then installed 1.0.5...and the digital clock widget is still formatted incorrectly. ROM issue? Acer issue? Regardless, I'm going back to 1.0.4 until this newer Acer base version matures a little bit (I also miss my "Reboot" power option).
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
asus filemanager was useful because it had safe remove usb storage... try to bring it back...
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
What's the deal with the screen resolution and fonts on this rom? It looks weird.

Also, AdFree doesn't seem to work? I mean it says it's working but I'm still seeing ads from google, I never did on my previous Primee rom.

Rear camera HD recording ?

Thank you guy for your awesome work.

This is the firt time i flash my iconia and all go flawessy. A big improvement over the stock one.

Just a little bug:

From Last stock HC 3.0.1 from acer to Picasso 1.0.5

Front camera is ok, photo and video

Rear Camera recording with HD Video settings and youtube setting don't work for me. Nieither on internal Sd and external sd. It just create the .mp4 file 0 kb (116 bites) when i push the record button.

Low quality recording is ok.

Someone else had this behavior ?
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Yeah video is messed up. I tried playing the mp4 1080p bourne trailer that always played fine on Xoom even on 3.0 but would look like a slideshow on the Acer. It worked great on Primee but still looks like a slideshow on this. I wonder what it's like on the stock Acer 3.1. Knowing Acer they probably still haven't fixed it. I'm thinking of going back to Primee. Dexter is going to put the 3.1 kernel in that.

My self encoded 720p mp4 still seem to work ok.

MKVs that were working with hardware decoding on Primee won't play at all here in moboplayer
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
HD will not even start recording for me.... Youtube works fine for the 1 HD video I tried. I did bring the mynet app over from the acer for video streaming from my desktop however. That works great. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] henk_j:
The question is is this a improvement to the previous release i go slightly to a no
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Im using the latest Virtuous and so far there are 2 issues.

The text font is so ugly im sorry but cant you revert back to the normal System UI Text font?

The second thing is you cant record in 1080p (Max setting).

Other than that its pretty nice.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Its most likely the font the Dev uses. I remember seeing stuff like that when flashing font packs
[Acer Iconia A500] seiko.miyazawa:
youtube APP is ok.

I was refering to HD video recording settings and Youtube Video recording Settings rear camera. Whith this it don't start the recording. Create a 0kb file.

With low settings is ok.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Just flashed 1.0.5 but my PS3 controller doesn't work, HDMI out works but is still 720p (Acer's official 3.1 changelog says 1080p) and HD recording doesn't start....
[Acer Iconia A500] eug:
i actually quite like the wp7 font. Gives it a fresh look.
[Acer Iconia A500] ar444484:
everything now work fine

HDMI , dolby, etc

but about movies

I use MoboPlayer, and when I try with mp4 h264 his size 3.51 GB that is not work smoothly also with bad sound.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Dont get me wrong, its not terrible.

But it looks cheap, and most importantly if you look carefully in System Meny the words are all jaggered and not hard to read but not easy on the eyes.

I think it looked great as it did before...
[Acer Iconia A500] seiko.miyazawa:
I also like it
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Its quite easy to change the font pack, so its moot a point to argue
[Acer Iconia A500] Azath0t:
However I really liked 1.0.4 version, 1.0.5 has some really annoying issues :

I can't write a point "." by double tapping on the space bar

The additional scroll-bar in the browser disappeared

I can't use DHCP on my wifi network anymore

Is there anywhere a link to download the 1.0.4 ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
One thing i noticed is when you zoom in on pages with Desktop view with multitouch it lags alot... Like in a news page or something its not smooth at all the finger zooming...

On 1.0.5 no PC access to a500, the drive are empty, no dir's or files.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I can record both front and back but I cannot record at maximum quality which I assume is 1080p.

The lowest records at 720p, like the fact that its mp4.

But alot of small annoying bugs on the unit for sure.

Maybe the Euro or US 3.1 build will be better.

[Acer Iconia A500] edl:
+1, thank you for your work

Igo back to, because i got in Love with some of the asus features, and 1.0.4 is realy great rom (dolby i not to important).

1.0.4 is best rom so far for me,if the HDMI would work it would be perfect.

Thank you

Which ASUS features did you fall in love with? I'm asking because I'm curious, not because I have any doubt.
[Acer Iconia A500] sto88:
Hi, i have flashed your rom v1.0.5 ...

I find these bugs:

-Videocamera doesn't work fine.. It creates a *.mp4 file but it's too small and it's impossible to open it..

-Wifi has got a poor signal level than the original stock rom...

-[Not a Bug] There aren't the game stock: Let's Golf, NFS...you can add in next version?

-In Market some apps says the tablet is not compatible, but, before the flash they were!

Thanks for your job ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I like the Asus FileManager. Not sure if you had it in previous versions, I never got around to trying this one. I've tried installing it in the acer 3.1 update but it force closes.

I like the ebook app. This is the fastest pdf viewer i tried. You can compare it with the ipad 2 viewer. I have them both. This was a wish for me.

A tip for everyone. I use "qloud media" (market) for streaming video's including subtitles. Like airvideo on the ipad. I used it the last 2 weeks. I do not need cifs again.
[Acer Iconia A500] anvandarnamn:
Same here but after a full wipe everything works like a charm ;-)

I must say, this actually feels faster than the asus based rom!

Issue with CMW

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot for your work on these ROMs.

I installed the 1.0.5 version following the turorial (and I wiped my tablet first).

Now I want to update to 1.0.6, but "Acer Recovery Installer" doesn't work, so I can't reboot in recovery mode:

- I can't find acer recovery installer on the market (so I downloaded a version on xda forum)

- When I click on "reboot in recovery mode", nothing happens

Does someone experience the same issue?

Is there a workaround?
[Acer Iconia A500] mobile88:
Since v1.04 and even the latest 1.05 , I just couldn't get the weather widget working. I tried with another app Palmary Weather, similar issues. The error message was " always connecting..." ' it fails to detect location and update weather. Google Maps works perfectly pinpointing location. I restore back to the original Acer 3.01 rom, it functions perfectly well. Version 1 till 1.03 was OK, no such issues

I have tried disable all the location security, GPS etc , reset it back ; switch off and switch on the tablet - still the same problem. Did these several times

Any ideas how to resolve this?
[Acer Iconia A500] vikramdhani:
still the link does not work
[Acer Iconia A500] DaVeCa:
Tu puedes inicial en modo recovery con estos pasos :

- Apaga la tablet

- Pulsa el boton de volumen - ( es el lado que esta mas cercano al boton "power" ) y mantenlo pulsado.

- Pulsa el boton "power" hasta que vibre y sueltalo entonces.

Asi entraras en modo recovery.

Saludos.

You did a great job with this rom !

But with the 1.0.6 I still have the problem that the camera app is crashing after taking a photo.

Anyone else has this problem ?

Little work around

Open your prefered fileexplorer( Rootexplorer,Es Filexplorer...),

go to your folder, wher the ebooks are stored and open each ebook.

For me it worked

So no great issue in my opinion

[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Do I have to wipe data/cache just stepping up a version?

On my phone with Cyanogen, I usually only wipe when stepping up a major release, such as 5 to 6 and 6 to 7. I don't wipe going from, say, 7.0.1 to 7.0.3. This practice has always worked out nicely.

What is recommended here? I applied Virtuous 1.0.5 yesterday (after a full wipe), and I plan to put 1.0.6 on top, but I don't want to do a wipe if I don't have to (it takes me a couple hours to then get things back the way I want them with all my apps, settings, etc.).

Please let me know what the "official" dev point of view is on this.

Thanks! Great ROM!

Battery consumption?

Hello m-deejay, nice to see you on the A500 forum, used to have your ROMs on my HD2!

Great work, installed it a couple of days ago and upgraded to v1.0.6 earlier today, works like a charm. Exept one little glitch, battery consumption is awful!

After some investigations I realized the WIFI policy was to keep it on all the time, very bad for battery! Is it the same default as the STOCK rom, don't remember having changed it on stock?

I've attached some screen-shots of that shows both the consumption and the WIFI not going off anymore.

2 screen-shots from Battery Monitor Widget: stock ROM consumption during standby was very good: 1% loss every 4 hours or so! Now it's more like 1% every hour!?

2 screen-shot from System Tuner: stock ROM disconnect WIFI on standby, yours doesn't!

Have just changed WIFI policy and will check again tomorrow if it gets back to 'normal' :)

Thanks for the custom ROM, great work!

EDIT: Sorry I initially got very worried, until I realized WIFI policy was set differently!
