Loving 1.1.0

I was on 1.0.8 and had made some kernel changes... so I did full wipes and reset battery stats, etc., then flashed 1.1.0... Had to restore some stuff (boot screen, openvpn, OC daemon settings, etc.), but didn't take long and now I've got this thing running faster and smoother than it ever has!!!

Great work m-deejay!

Only flaw I've found is that it still does the thing where if it is sitting idle, and turns off automatically, then it turns back on by itself. This can go on indefinitely.

Some tips for people comparing to other ROMs.

ASUS Keyboard -- try Hacker's Keyboard

Samsung Toggles in Notification Area -- try Widgetsoid (totally customizable and integrates with Tasker, etc.)

WiFi issues on 1.1.0?

Having the WiFi issues after screen blanks and unit is sleep for a while (10min +). Need to 'forget' WiFi connections and reconnect then fine for a while.

Is this a 3.1 issue?

I hadn't noticed it before.

Just upgraded to 1.1.0 (wiped/reformatted system and the usual stuff). Noticed it twice this afternoon. First time I rebooted, 2nd time I used the 'forget' method.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Did a search in the thread but didn't see any fixes for this.

My wifi suddenly stopped working and everywhere I go, including home where it worked this morning, it goes through a long loop of searching, getting an ip address, repeat several times before disabling the connection.

I did a clean install. Only possibly suspect thing I did was restore my wifi settings after installing 1.1

I was coming from a 3.1 ROM so was hoping that wouldn't cause any problems.

Anyone have a solution for this problem?

Lovely ROM.

Very quick and fluid, however I've lost Dolby Mobile (obviously).

I never thought about it not being on the Acer, so I'll be going back to stock unfortunately as I listen to music loads on my tablet.

Excellent work though.

Hi!

First of all: great job done on the ROM!

I for one love the new font, keyboard looks much better with it. Overall speed seems to be in par with the Prime ROM.

I wonder what "Virtuous CPU scaling scripts" mean ? Does it mean overclocking ?

If yes, when will they be available ?

Ext4 and Usb debug mode

Hey great to see you working on iconia tab, i m a big fan

on your hd2 work ;)

Wanted to ask what you mean by ext4, should we do a partition

with gparted in ext4 on internal sd or external sd or do nothing ???

And for the adb drivers should we install acer driver or asus ?

I guess acer but not sure ;)

Loving the rom very fast but i am having a problem. When i play a song in the music player and pause then hit the back button to return to the main screen i get a fc on the music player.

+1 for 1.0.8 Asus based. I'm also using Thor's 1.2 beta kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] JaeKar99:
I had to give up one this ROM - kernel was throttling back to the point where my browsers (Dolphin HD and Opera) would close - not force close - just close. Keyboard lag was getting really bad if I had to type and edit many lines of text.. There were also random reboots that I could not attribute to anything other than the kenel throttling down and the system crashed.. could not find anything in a logcat..

The 'cell standby' issue is tolerable but annoying as hell..

I absolutely loved the speed and fluidity of the ROM kernel combination when it was running at 1.2 Ghz..

When this ROM gets upgraded to the OTA 3.1 - it will go back on my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] fogozito:
should i download and set the CPU governor on demand and OC to 1.6ghz?

and just one comment, i fully charged my tablet and leave it at home unplugged and idle when i came back the tablet was super hot and the battery complete discharged.

font issue, or how I change fonts in /system/fonts

Hi,

I'm using A500 bought in Japan.

I've been using VP 1.1.0 for 2days, it's really amasing to use daily.

I wanna change the font for handling Japanese, did the following way but got nothing.

How I change using font for Japanese ?

(1) remount /system

(2) put DroidSansJapanese.ttf into /system/font, and put the appropriate permission. (like 0644)

(3) reboot to reflect this change.

..

nothing had occured.

(4) rename DrondSansFallback.ttf to _DrondSansFallback.ttf

(5) reboot,

nothing had occured, but some chars got bogon.

(6) rename some font derived from Adobe's , then reboot, nothing could help me.

Anyone know how to change the font?

It's because your commands are using busybox and busybox is sending color information.

Hello again. Is there anyone that can answer my previous post about connection speed with 3G-dongle? It's a Huawei E1750 hspa dongle. My connection goes down every time I get blue light, download speed up to around 6 Mb. Now I'm stuck at 95 Kb with green light. There's no problem with the stick nor with the connection when I use it with my win7 computer. And there's no problems using it with my ArchLinux-box either.

Just an easy question I think.

Anyone that can surf the web with a high-speed connection using 3G-dongle and this ROM?

EDIT. I can now. I tried again enabling roaming and now it's ok. For some reason that I don't understand I can't use my ISP when surfing with 3G. Have to be connected to another. In my case it's Telia when green. Going to blue light it's connects to Tele2.

Hi all.

I have a question that I would love to know the answer too. Please.

I have searched but cant find an answer.

Now my usb mouse works fine connected to the USB port, but when I connect my 32GB USB flashstick it quickly comes up in the bottom right corner "preparing external storage", but I can't find it anywhere in either Astro or ES File Explorer.

Any idea's where can find it. Even if I go into settings-storage the Usbdisk1 details are unavailable.

I am currently back on the 1.08 Asus ROM, but I couldn't see it in the 1.1.0 ACER ROM either.

I am wondering if I needed to tick or download something first.

Cheers for any assistance.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
thats why you cannot find it...it is an ASUS feature, not present on the ACER rom, move back to 1.0.8 ASUS and you will get that back.

I am currently waiting for Virtuous Transformer, this will be the ASUS 3.2 rom...
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
it is the file system...

go to root/mnt/usb_storage

or if you are on the ASUS rom , you can just press this icon on the taskbar, and in the popup press on the second icon in, the one that looks like a FILE!! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
you mean sign into market on your laptop and then the comment box appeared on your tablet?

[Acer Iconia A500] FitzysN6:
Thanks for the response mate.

That was my problem though, the folder wasn't in root/mnt/usb_storage, and I only had the option to browse the sd card from the taskbar, there is no second icon when I put the usb stick in ??

Solved...it was my usbstick. Not sure exactly but my 32GB one didn't work, so I borrowed one from a work mate (2GB) and bang, there it was in the taskbar.

Bugga..I am thinking it must be my stick (although it works in everything else) as others have said that they can use external HD's and I am sure they are larger than 32GB.

Cheers

Edit again...my stick is NTFS...I'm a **** !! I use it for 1080p movies and had to format it that way because of their file size..
