well done!

Multilanguage include chinese?
[Acer Iconia A500] ar444484:
thank you a lot

But hdmi still not work
[Acer Iconia A500] jason1231:
great job!!!!

This rom is great.... currently the best one out....:D Themeing starts tomorrow:cool:...
[Acer Iconia A500] Deltaechoe:
Will streaming HD videos from youtube and hulu actually work without a ton of stuttering on this rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] bochocinco23:
Just played HD videos from youtube, normal stutter at start up but streams fine the rest of the way.

Anyone know if there is a way to a mass stored list of words for this keyboard? Noticed it swypes well but it will take a while to use enough words for it to actually be worth swyping since it only spells words that you have previously typed :-P
[Acer Iconia A500] hazard99:
Currently testing this i find it has a little wake lag. But overall rom is very fast and fluid. So far no freezes which i had in the prime rom .
[Acer Iconia A500] FitzysN6:
Just got home from the shop with mine, will be flashing this once it is charged.

I am running the Unity ROM on my DHD, so was pleasantly surprised to see a ROM for my new ACER here.

Cheers and thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
actually what make this rom better than prime for you ?? may i know any feature or speed difference?

cause now am using prime still searching for the best :D

Hi all,

Not sure what is going wrong here. I get the following error when trying to update via CWM:

Installing: /sdcard/virtuous_picasso_v1.0.1.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/virtuous_picasso_v1.0.1.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted

Any advice? I copied it from Device Storage to my external_sd root via ASTRO.
[Acer Iconia A500] hitvan:
One of the reasons i bought my iconia, coz i saw mdeejay got it.

let the roms roll out :p
[Acer Iconia A500] hitvan:
u should probably download again
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
i posted MD5
[Acer Iconia A500] Fumetsu:
Thanks, I thought it might have been a bad download. Doing so now. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] 18.4009:
This is great news!! Every rom I have used on my phones made by m-deejay has rocked. Now bringing his skills over to our tablet gives this hardware a much brighter future.

18.4009
[Acer Iconia A500] Fumetsu:
OK, when I move the file from my PC to the onboard storage, the MD5 checksum verifies correctly. When I copy/paste from the onboard storage to the external_sd, the checksum does not verify correctly. I am unable to actually move the file to external_sd, I have to copy paste.

May I ask what program everyone is using to move the file onto external_sd? I get a move error in ASTRO when I try to move it instead of copy/paste.
[Acer Iconia A500] elia950:
Don't have that problem.. it work well.. i've tried on different websites and never got a FC.. hell even an application that gave me a fc with the acer fw now work fine! :D

i hava the same problem

2 spontaneous reboot in about half past hour

overclock issue

GREAT ROM

I tried to overclock the beast seems to work great but once the screen turns of the speed will be set back to 216mhz it hasnothing to do with profile i tested any of them even when you push both bars to 1600mhz once the screen turns of speed is set to 216mhz, i have to go back to setcpu play with one of those bars and then speed is again at 1600mhz.

I m using latest version of setcpu.

Any clue on how to fix this bug?
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Linpack shows weird result...9.1 :| this is not safe.
[Acer Iconia A500] lighthammerhh:
I'm using this too. FC when trying to search on page... I will try to wipe cache and data in settings. But I'm using Opera anyway :p

ACER games FC here too... (all three)

Reboots not happened here, so far. Have you overclocked the system?
[Acer Iconia A500] vegeteo:
overclock support is automatic or i need a program to overclock the cpu?
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
What is the deal with the font on these roms? They look different to the others I have tried. Not sure I like it, is there anyway to use standard fonts? Some things that should be bold don't look bold on the Virtuous Picasso roms I have tried.
[Acer Iconia A500] elia950:
mmmh.. i rather like this font.. the original acer one was really horrible..
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
So, the decent media support is back because it's an Asus based rom. MKVs work in hardware decoding now, but still no AC3 sound. I wish there was some way to get the players do downmix to stereo. Also the troublesome 1080p Bourne trailer is working perfectly in this rom, so it's clearly something the Asus rom has that the Acer does not.

None of the Acer games work on here, they all FC :(

and yeah, that font, I guess I just need to get used to it. I'm too used Acer stock and Primee, which are the same font.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
the acer games FC because they have a lib in /system/lib
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Any idea which one?

Edit: Copied libnfsshift.so from the Acer rom and now NFS Shift boots but gets some incorrect signature error so I guess it's some sort of copy protection.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Ok, I realise why I don't like the font. In apps like GMail and newsr the unread messages don't look bold. Read and unread both look the same, it's not like that in the stock Acer rom. Not sure if it's an Asus thing though because Primee was never like that either.
[Acer Iconia A500] ThaiDai:
I just flashed the Iconia and made my wife happy, because now it is possible and easy not only to switch the keyboard to Thai but also region settings.

And now I cannot complete the installation with applications because she grabbed it out of my hands right now.

Thanks for this rom and hoping for more of it.

I used CWM and different ROMs on my Blackstone and so I knew what I did. But still I have to thank you and other people for the excellent descriptions and the video tutorial.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
My tablet just rebooted itself using this rom. Looks like a common occurrence.
[Acer Iconia A500] eXpresion:
Happened to mine 5 min ago too, but I must say I didn't do a full wipe. Just updated from 1.0.6.
[Acer Iconia A500] elia950:
i made a fullwipe and i've been using it for 4hours with no reboot or fc
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I did a full wipe. I wasn't even using it when it rebooted. I noticed the screen was on and I had no apps in task switcher so assumed it had rebooted. I had been using apps prior.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
wipe is needed from 1.0.5/1.0.6 these are acer based

no wipe needed from 1.0.4 asus based
[Acer Iconia A500] roman.goncharenko:
Can't play any .avi movies!!! Why?

And I think that sound too low.
[Acer Iconia A500] chad24taylor:
This ROM/kernel combo is beastin' for sure. Not usually a big proponent of benchmarks, but I just pulled a 3100 on quadrant :p

Great work.
[Acer Iconia A500] triebstahl:
Awesome rom. Came back from dexters rom and get 4005 Quadrant@1.6GHz :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
No reboots here at all but have had a wifi disconnect issue. Been using for about 8 hrs now and its silky smooth. Find that after long period of inactivity my acer seems to switch itself off. My wifi disconnected and stuck saying turning off so had to reboot. Cpu master is in market under paid apps. I use without problem. Love da rom immensely buh will get better with few more updates
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
sometimes i got reboot in sleep mode...

i guess its kernel issue

working on it
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Last night i went to bed with tab on but in standby. When i got up this morning tab was off. I had to power back on and this happens even with stock rom. Tab must be set to go off after a certain period of being in standby. Games dont work here neither golf and nfs fc after verifying. Graphic glitz in asus weather app on temp display as number is halved
[Acer Iconia A500] The.Yield:
107 findings:

Gyro/Accel is really screwed/janky -- try the gallery app and see how completely not smooth it is.

Graphics clipping off from time to time on the asus weather.

I've seen a few random wakes and FC.

Otherwise, great!

EDIT: +Splashtop HD force closes every time, without question. That is a deal break for me as I use it all the time.

Is there still the hdmi Reboot issue in the 1.0.7? I saw no fix for it...
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
any lists available of what apps we can remove from virtuous without affecting anything?

still safe to rename phone and telephoney.apk i assume? as long as backup and restore before system wipe?
[Acer Iconia A500] dgcxsk:
Thanks for the OC-Kernel! =)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
The regular reboots make this ROM unusable for me. :( Shame because I kinda like it (though the Acer shipped games not working is a pain). Reverted to 3.1 official leak for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] Wiili:
Nice ROM, but I can´t play any video from my server using clear.fi. There are no problems with V1.06.

Back to stock

I've installed 1.0.7 after a complete wipe and I got very frequent reboots... problems with auto-orientation...

Far too unstable to be usable, 1.0.6 was running smoothly, back to stocK :(.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Dolby Music is gone!

The Asus keyboards sux ass!

The Asus font are awful

Home buttons

Camera is grainy when recording (was never grainy before)

And I could go on and on but I wont...

To many bugs man!

Sent from my A500 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
downloaded 1.0.7 for the lure of the OC kernel, however from these reports of random reboots and people reverting back to stock, ill stick with PRIMEE for the time being as i use my tablet a lot.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Absolutely no reboots here at all. Go back to beginning and flash again. Been running 10 hrs now and silky smooth. Acer games dont work as asus rom, graphic glitz in weather as mentioned but no reboot. Cant fix a problem only few people have. Other people like me have no reboot problem. Wifi disconnect not happened again so cool
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
I actually like asus keyb as number keys at top. Android keyb sucks ass having to hit a key for numbers each time. Camera ok here and hd video playback. Dolby stereo really didnt add much to tab anyway. Sound with or without no noticeable diff
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Time to eat humble pie lol always the way lol 2 random reboots in last hr lol. Back to 3.0.1 till more stable realease but know m-deejay it wont be long
[Acer Iconia A500] plemme61:
Thanks for the rom and the instructions worked great for me, so kudos!! Only issue i have is with "My Library" can't open a book keeps force closing. Other than that the whole feel of the tablet is much smoother and faster than the stock,especially the browser.

Thanks again great work!!

On it for about 6 hours no reboots but a slight graphic error on the lock screen.. the time display at the very left and, only when time is single digits 1 to 9 o'clock .
[Acer Iconia A500] elia950:
used it all afternoon.. no reboot, no fc and no graphic errors in the weather.. no wifi disconnect.. i even changed the wpa_supplicant to enable the adhoc connection and work fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] DaVeCa:
I have only in stand by . No reboot in use.

Enviado desde mi A500
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Have patience you will see. Put it down for a bit and happens quite randomly. Didnt have any in over 10hrs till before. Prefer asus rom as more suited to uk users
[Acer Iconia A500] Petros_tigra:
thanks again...

Great rom but 4 issues until now

1)hdmi out doesnt work (not even sound)

2)random reboots on stand by mode

3)cant use search on page on default browser

4)i think the speaker sound its a little low
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
second that too. same issues here.

why not have acer base with whats good from asus rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
random reboots fixed in next release.
[Acer Iconia A500] AWTrost:
I'm guessing its because we don't have the acer kernel
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
as i said being you it wont be long before that is ironed out! bugs will be squashed with you on the scene! also look at graphic glitches on weather widget and games not working! Golf and NFS
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
So is there a way to use standard fonts on this rom? I like my unread emails to look bold.
[Acer Iconia A500] WishRyder:
+1 for standard fonts
[Acer Iconia A500] zeroxwolfx:
Dolby

Has any one gotten dolby mobile to work yet? IF so, that would be great to share, I don't know its something you'd have to flash or what not, But it's definetly a great feature to this tablet, and I think would make this ROM even better
[Acer Iconia A500] megiddo101:
I would also like the option to have standard fonts. Also, Dolby mobile please.
[Acer Iconia A500] birkoffsjunk:
Here's Stock Fonts, http://hotfile.com/dl/122200934/b90a005/StockHoneycomb_Fonts.zip.html
[Acer Iconia A500] armukhtar:
Just replace the font in system/font or use font changer from market...for Dolby quite impossible I think due to framework in Asus base rom
[Acer Iconia A500] Fumetsu:
Can someone verify the MD5 of v1.0.7?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] hotmocca:
First I have to thank m-deejay for all great works that you've done.

However, for the latest version 1.0.7, after i got a few random reboot.

This morning my a500 stuck at the boot animation screen :(

I tried to enter recovery have re-flash other version of ROMs that still left in external SD, but it can't help.

It would be great if anyone can give me the light. :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] hotmocca:
I can notice a strange error message when i try to WIPE/factory reset

"Error removing /data/data/www.google.android.marvin.talkbackFormatting /cache.."

Any clue? :(
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Cool, they work nicely. I just installed the zip with CWM
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Why back to ASUS stock?

Just when I became totally pleased with 1.0.6, I return to the forum to find that you've moved back to ASUS stock. Why? Only to OC the kernel? I don't care about OC'ing...

Is the plan to go back to ACER stock? If not, I guess I'll switch ROMs now. Disappointing, because I just got 1.0.6 exactly how I wanted it!
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Then keep using 1.0.6
[Acer Iconia A500] blaze0303:
Tried using an external hd and watching a movie, running 1.6ghz on performance...freezes and reboots everytime. Brought it down to 1.4ghz on interactive and its been running smooth for over half an hour.

EDIT: HD movie, using software decoding. So its really stressing the os. But still smooth!
[Acer Iconia A500] chad24taylor:
Now I don't really care about quadrant numbers so this is just for my own curiosity, but any idea why the unity kernel gets WAY higher quadrant scores than the angel kernel at the same clock speed?
[Acer Iconia A500] henk_j:
Perhaps remove it first with root explorer?
[Acer Iconia A500] thunderkiss65:
I am using honey villian just because it has the dolby mobile. That is a must. honey villian is running very smooth.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I've gone onto that too, waiting for these custom roms to get a bit more stable. I've been jumping from dexter to virtuous picasso on a daily basis and it was driving me a bit crazy. Going to stick with villain for a while as it's the closest to stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] Ztiffn:
any reason why you dont integrate the ad-hoc compatible wpa_supplicant file?
[Acer Iconia A500] henk_j:
Hi witch stock kernel could i use until the o,clocked one runs without probs?

Perhaps a link under the download link?
[Acer Iconia A500] hotmocca:
The problem is my A500 stuck at boot animation screen infinitely. after a few random restart since i flash 1.0.7

No matter how i switch to any ROM , and this is error notify when i try to WIPE/ factory reset.

Try wiping the cache itself prior to factory/data reset. Wipe the cache then dalvik cache in advanced options then do factory/data wipe. Might help

anyone getting cifs to work?

All i get is a out of memory message... Didn't have this problem with dexters rom :confused:

What am I doing wrong??
[Acer Iconia A500] hotmocca:
I'm not i did it right or not, but i entered CWM / Mounts and Storages /mount as USB storage.

but i got below response, - (have usb cable connected)

"Kernels does not support usb storage"

I did it vise versa, but still no luck :confused:

V2 would be most welcome
[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
I did get the sleep of death problem and i think i fixed it (temperarily).

I have mine overclocked to 1504 so in cpu master i set the scren off profile to 1000 and ever since then i had no sleep reboots, it lasted overnight. I had one every time i turned off my sleep before.

Tell me if it works for anyone else
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Just tried that now. In cpu master i enabled screen off profile and set max to 1000. I guess this will impact on battery life while in standby.
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
Updated!

Asus based rom soon...
[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
I did a full wipe to get to 1.0.7 should i do a full wipe before the asus 1.0.8?

Im just asking because 1.0.5 & 6 were acer based.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Called it lmao just as i reflashed asus 1.07 you release acer 1.08 lol. Will wait for asus version as prefer the graphical enhancements, widgets and locale
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
FULL WIPE recommended ;)

PS GPS, BT, ALL works...

Can i flash 1.0.8 AC without a wipe? I have run 1.0.6 at moment, thanks :D
[Acer Iconia A500] plemme61:
i have v 7 installed do i need to completely wipe in cwm(reset) or just cache and davlik

ok got my answer 3 or 4 posts up sorry guess i need another red bull lol full wipe is always the way to go

i would like to say that this (at least for me) is the most stable rom. I've tried them all on xda .For the record my A500 is 16 GB and the build date on the box says may 2011.Since flashing v 7 rom picasso virtuous my gps fixes in under 15s and is 10 seen and 10 fixed on gps essentials.. no random reboots running at 1400 mhz, only can t acees "my library" app thank you very much you rock!!!!

Wow, you are impressive. Thanks for the Acer 1.0.8! I'll be trying this soon!
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Thank you chef
[Acer Iconia A500] WishRyder:
Thank god (or thank you for that matter) for breaking the rom into AC and AS. I love my Iconia hardware, but love the Asus software and widgets.

Asus based rom added :)

enjoy ppl
[Acer Iconia A500] Deejaydark:
Sorry for the newbish question but before I download what are the differences between the two.. I heard that you can't play for instance NFS on a Asus rom but the Asus rom has that cool weather widget and some other cool widgets. I could be wrong but I tried to install NFS on v1.0.6 and nothing happened... anywho... good job mdj

Did someone have a link to a description for the governors, please. Won't pick the wrong one, which will slow down my tab and I'm not familiar with the behavior of the different values.

Rom with the Acer Kernel rocks, too!

- Acer game NFS crashes, but i think my Titanium Backup is corrupt. This was the one and only crash so far...

- Golf and Sparta are running.

- Camera and Video (front and rear) are running, as far as i could test it.

- Acer lock switch is functional.

- One DivX AVI is only running in soft mode. All others i could test (wmv, flv, mp4) where running smooth and fine. All with sound.

Testing is going on...
[Acer Iconia A500] lighthammerhh:
Confirmed.

Recording starts for a millisecond and generates a file 260 bytes big with a click noise in it. Switch record location from external to sdcard and vice versa, no difference.

App is not freezing. It takes a couple of seconds until the "file saved" message appears.

Edit:

trying to delete a recording from the app -> FC

But file is deleted.

Edit 2:

How could i get rid of the pause sign from the voice recorder? it hangs left beside the clock and i could not see any task for it, to end it :(
