I just flashed Virtuous Picasso 1.1 and installed gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip and I keep getting FCs while trying to login to the Market, then the market says "Sign in failure: There is already a xxxx@gmail.com account on this device"

Hi all, I'm a big fan of the XDA forums and a huge thank you to all who build these roms and make them run fast, nice and clean.

I'm getting my Acer Iconia A500 on Wednesday and will be modding it straight away with Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0. One thing I thought looked great is the 3G Huawei support, how would this work though? I have a USB Huawei stick with sim, but don't I need software or can I just add the settings somewhere in the android settings?

Thanks again, a again a big up for all your hard work :)

Regards

Need help

OK guys...need some help as I think I may have botched my tab to some degree.

Flashed Virtuous Picasso using Acer recovery manager and everything seemed to go fine...except now I can't use the home button (It won't exit out of apps at all) and I am unable to boot into recovery anymore using either the acer recovery manager. Have uninstalled and reinstalled recovery manager multiple times and it simply will not boot into recovery. It gives me the option...I have a custom rom loaded on an sd card...but when I click reboot into recovery using clockworkmod, nothing happens.

I have tried numerous times to reflash other roms to no avail. Even when booting into recovery by holding down the power button and the - volume key, all I get is an exclamation point, at which time I have to manually power down the system.

New to all of this and should have done more research before hand, but now looking for a solution to either restore to factory or flash a different type of rom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am now totally lost :-(

re Music

Hi, flashed ROM but now google music player can not seem to see the files located in the Music Folder, any pointers please as this is the first time it has found it straight away. Cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] BlueGoldAce:
Did you update it in the market? When I loaded this Rom I had to update it to get it working.

Btw, great Rom, I love it. I'll send I donation your way soon. How long you plan to support this tablet if you don't mind me asking.
[Acer Iconia A500] BlueGoldAce:
Anyone use setcpu with this Rom? Do you get better results than the built in settings?

On a second note the Rom runs awesome. Runs better than any of the other stock based acer builds.

New Kernel?

Hello, sorry for my bad english;).

I have a question:

Can I exchange only the Kernel on a current version?

I think UNITY V8.

Greetings Andy
[Acer Iconia A500] HannoSLM:
i have strange problem with the volume: in some videos it is really low. In others it is so high that the sound quality becomes bad, full of noise. I do not remember if it was the same with the stock rom.

Someone else noticed something similar or i have a hardware problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Yeah you can mate. I have used this with thors kernel as well. Only stopped using this rom as its now acer based and asus base has not been updated.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
According to chef setcpu and others seem to have a 7 sec delay in scaling up frequency hence the in built one. Also setcpu or cpu master nullifies the frequencies set by internal OC so chef doesnt recommend doing that. However we being individuals can try and do what we please but me personally just go along with whats recommended by the creator of the rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] fxandrei:
hy there .

i want to ask something.

im trying to decide to buy an acer iconia or an acer transformer.

the thing is i really dont like the ideea that i have to get a 150$ accesory to have usb ports.

so the 2 things that bother me about the acer a500 is the video hd playback thing and the screen.

so the screen from asus transformer is gg and has better colors, but i thing acers's screen is good enough.

i saw in all the reviews that the asus transformer played 720p and 1080p movies very well, where the acer a500 was awfall. it either did not play them or showed like one image every 2-3 second (bourne identity trailer).

but the thing is that the asus transformer had 3.1 and the acer had 3.0.1 .

what im really asking is this: did the 3.1 update solved these things? (the hd playback issues... like with mkv files or other stuff).

are there roms that have codecs and have this working like on the transformer ?

does this rom play hd content well ?

does this rom (or other) have the codecs necessary to play hd content ?
[Acer Iconia A500] HannoSLM:
best is to compare the hardware of both devices and choose the most powerfull one. From software point of view, we have the incredilble xda dev community, which are providing us with all the software we can possibly need.
[Acer Iconia A500] fxandrei:
the hardware is almoust identical.

anyway .. im not talking here about the hardware.

im talking about software.

about hd playback.

about playing at least 720 mkv files.

has this been sorted out in the 3.1 update? or in any custom rom around here ?
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
720p playback is not a problem for this tablet and others have reported it playing quite well. Why dont you try a few and see for yourself
[Acer Iconia A500] HannoSLM:
if the hardware is identical pick the lighter better looking one :)

again you must understand that if you have enough powerfull hardware, there will be no problem finding software to play 720p.
[Acer Iconia A500] AndyUM61:
Current Kernel?

How can I change to a current Kernel?
[Acer Iconia A500] fxandrei:
dude ... im just asking if someone around here has played 720p mkv files withought the stuttering everyone saw with the bourne ultimatum trailer in every video review.

NOT MP4 .... MKV files..

offcourse im guessing that sofware for this exists, because the hardware is capable .. but ... can someone be specific about ?>
[Acer Iconia A500] nervad:
Im not being rude or anything but your in a custom rom section talking about that issue, and yes 720p plays very well with this rom. Video reviews are for stock roms that's why we have a great community such as xda to customize our android devices to ur liking. If it has the hardware xda has the solution. My 2 cents

Sent from my Infusion 4G
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
True that. With this rom the bourne trailer spoken about in all the reviews plays.
[Acer Iconia A500] HannoSLM:
Dear m-deejay,

I see that you are quite busy with the sensation development, but should we expect any update for this rom? I think this is the best rom for the iconia at present.
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Believe he's waiting for 3.2 to drop for Acer.

I don't believe there are any major bugs in 1.1, so why would he update it before 3.2 drops? I, for one, have no complaints at all worth mentioning.
[Acer Iconia A500] RazorbackFan:
What to do after installing rom

BIG thanks to the Devs on this rom! I'm very impressed with the rom and the quickness in getting it out to the community. I have installed it and have a couple of noobish questions:

What are the most important next steps after installing the rom (do I need to re-install Acer Recovery, or need to install Clockwork Mod Recovery, and can I use Titanium Backup Pro?) Will there be a way to update the rom in the future without completely flashing the new version? And lastly, will I still receive updates from Acer and if so should I avoid them?

I'm sorry if these questions have been answered, it'd difficult to read 88 pages of forum. Thank you to all the posters with great info and thank you again to the devs on this rom...definitely donating!!

[Acer Iconia A500] HannoSLM:
i am having only several issues:

- browser is buggy:

- sometimes the displayed text is blurry

- quite often the alignment is mixed

- there are very few crashes

- there is lag when hitting the power button

- when in sleep, the screen lights for no reason

- camera is making not clear photos - kind of smudgy

vplayer is also buggy :( - does not refresh and plays only few fromats

the good thing is that these are happening quite seldom, but still ..... i know MDJ is making flawless builds :)

guess we will wait for 3.2 then ..... are there any etas about it?
[Acer Iconia A500] omoi113:
My camera stop working after I install NETFLIX patch and app (mod).

Took me about two days to find out, and it only happen with this rom.

Any one aware of this issue? Am I the only one having this problem?

Sofar I am very happy with Victorous Picasso rom. Everything working flawlessly.

I hope some one can help me.

gmail not showing in market

any ideas why its not there. i noticed an update for the gmail app on my phone and when i checked on my tab i realized the app wasn't even showing in my apps and a search on the market didn't pull it up.
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Doesn't show in My Apps because it's in the ROM as a System App. Market only shows the apps you've installed through the Market in My Apps.

According to market.android.com, it's not compatible. Maybe they didn't flip the tablet switch on the update or something's not right in our ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] flexte:
I'm hoping to stick with this ROM so i hope the gmail app gets sorted out because i do like the upated version on my phone.
[Acer Iconia A500] mrgago:
Thanks. I installed this on two iconia. I haven't seen any problem yet so far. Just wondering how did you get the bottom bar to look like that. Mine still got the iconia bar. I also don't have theasus time and email widget.
[Acer Iconia A500] scottw714:
I can not play mkv files w/o choppy motion.

I have downloaded pretty much every player and mkv is the only format that doesn't play well.

One of the reasons I got this tab was the 1080p/HDMI. But after having it for some time I can tell you that 1080 isn't even an option. It will play them, several threads cover the topic, but for me it's the space. From a storage standpoint, 720 is too big, it's why I haven't messed with 1080.

720p in mp4 is right around 4 GB for the average movie, so my 16 GB card will hold 4, maybe 5 movies. I have bought 3 different 32GB cards and they they haven't worked, not sure if it's the tab or my PC.

The other thing is removing the card. Although not hard, it's not something I would think anyone would want to do regularly, as in swapping out movies. The mechanism is solid, but it's still a microSD card and the parts are tiny. But that would be similar on all devises.

Only tried USB a couple times, works well. I don't have a flash drive large enough for movies.

I have had a tab before, but never really played with large movies files. They suck, the files are just too big, making the whole process feel like dial-up. Slow, and for me, it's too much to swap out movies on a regular basis.

I'm running the latest Picasso.
[Acer Iconia A500] viciouz:
Ok... i am confused... sorry. I am a newb to tablets.

But what is the difference between vitruous picasso and galaxy? Can someone break it down for me please.

Thanks.

[Acer Iconia A500] barchamb:
Installed this ROM yesterday - everything seems to be working great. However, I noticed that Cell Standby was taking up a huge amount of battery, and after a little research I found on here that I needed to edit build.prop and add ro.carrier=wifi-only. So, I did that, then I rebooted into recovery and wiped battery stats and rebooted again. Now my battery stats are reset, and the build.prop file has that line in it, but I still have Cell Standby process that's taking up a lot of battery. What did I do wrong, or what did I miss?

modified google video apk on acer iconia roms

anybody making a rom with modified google video for playing movies on rooted devices
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Now that 3.2 is out, I am hoping to see a new version. I just tried Taboonay 2.0 and something didn't seem right. Would like to stick with Virtuous Picasso... so long as we get an update soon now that there's actually something to udpate!
[Acer Iconia A500] HannoSLM:
waiting with anticipation the update .. this is definetely the fastest rom for iconia, but still a bit buggy :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Duckman33:
According to the front page you're going to be waiting a while. Says it's discontinued on XDA with no explanation on where if anywhere it's still being worked on. :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] didgeridood:
Anyone having issues with the XDA app on Virtuous? I can use it for about 3 minutes then says force close. :/
[Acer Iconia A500] af974:
Rom is discontinued, do not try to full this thread by flaming, off-topics and trolling otherwise i'll close it.

I'm keeping it open only because people can speak about problems related to this rom.

Again flaming and i'll start to infract, you have been warned.
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
I'm loving this rom although i haven't tried anything else but I have only come across one problem and maybe it's not a problem with this rom but a feature. The issue i have is that i only charge at night and what i do is leave it plugged in until i wake up and see the light is white on the power button and then i unplug it. somewhere in between going to sleep and waking up and going to work the tablet turns itself completely off and when i turn it back on the battery is no longer peaked but at 90 to 94% charged. I use my tablet as an alarm clock sometimes and I don't need it turning off in the middle of the night on me.

Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Duckman33:
If you are referring to me where exactly did I flame, troll, or talk about anything off topic? I was informing the gentleman that this rom is discontinued so he knew not to wait for an update. If that's flaming, then well I don't know what to say about that. :/
[Acer Iconia A500] dscribe:
Just a quick fyi. I saw a tweet from the the ROM dev awhile back saying that this project is completely discontinued and the dev has no plans to do development with tablets again at all until after ice cream sandwich is released. If you want to contact the ROM's dev about anything you can do so through www.virtuousrom.com
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
of all the stock variations available now these virtuous roms made my mdj are still some of the best work in this forum. not everyone wants a fake version of a stock rom when can flash one of these. i still use virtuous galaxy to this day and have flashed some of these stock so called better roms. not impressed as acer themselves did a good job of the stock rom. anyone can take a stock rom and tweak to their liking and also have a theme made! MDJ was giving roms that were from various devices allowing this tablet to be in the forefront at the time! what we have now is different variations on the widely available stock option and thats it! i for one felt privileged at the time to be here when MDJ was providing cutting edge stuff we could shout about! we all know that a few of the stock options are needed to suit some of us that like that but for others that love that bit extra there is nothing. the best we can hope for is a stock rom with an ICS theme! how things have changed in here. too many clever fools and not enough actual real chefs. the true chefs know themselves and i always commend their efforts but when MDJ left the building this forum died with it and any cutting edge future we had any chance of seeing! some people are not gonna like what i have said but i really dont care. its my opinion and i have expressed it!

MDJ if you are out there please come back and show some love in here for the folks that actually appreciated your work
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Good for you! :D hope you feel better now!
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Lol I do. Lmao
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Sorry mate wasn't having a go at you or any of the chefs I consider to be helping. Its just that at one point this forum was thriving and was the first tablet to be doing so. I see your contribution and also respect your reasons for taking a break. However this thing is happening all over xda and its cause of the recent wave of new members over last few years. Some people are just not as appreciative as others but you cannot let them win, just can't! You do what you do for the love of it not for ratings, not for fame nor fortune mate but for the love of it. Do not let others affect that! Do not let others influence your decision in any way. You keep that control by still cooking and producing **** as the true people in here know what's what! People have taken other people work without giving them credit, hell man some even called it their own. Its sad but that's life and human nature. If you believe in what you release then that's all you need to carry on. I have bumped heads with quite a few people on xda as I have numerous devices in my arsenal. I have been banned unfairly for calling a mod a liar for making false claims but I am still here. This community is great and true members respect each other. I never claim to know anything but I always post honestly and tactfully. Stay true to the love of this community by continuing your development. I would love to see the virtuous roms maybe carried on. Honeycomb is here so much to do. Peace
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Lol OK boy I hope he does I really enjoyed buggy honeycomb roms from other devices that gave us new Widgets of which replacements ofnthem could have been found in the market. I enjoyed a "chef" that would out out three or four half made Roms which were all based off the same honeycomb version
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
True for the first part. Calling the the devs from xda community "clever fools but not real chefs"...that's all with the tactfulness :)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
I agree they were not not complete as if they were, they would not be posted on here would they? Who would need this forum if all the work produced here was complete? They were work in progress, an insight into what else was out there, a preview into what the a500 was capable off etc etc etc. Thats how i perceived them so i cant comment for others. For incomplete work the roms were usable and still are today. Stock roms with tweaks are just that. Period. Instead of being overly critical some of the chefs in here could have embraced it and used it as a step to go forward instead of picking holes in it to try to get ahead. Dexter also did his thing and he too left. His prime rom was seriously good. Who cares about plain sailing mate? We can always revert to stock for that. Its like much of xda mate always pushing boundaries and keeping old stuff alive. I now have ICS on galaxy s and even though incomplete i feel priviledged to be able to use it.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Only extract one quote from what i said is being a clever fool. Just as i explained. Thanks for proving my point.if you read and understood the context of my post you would see that the part you extracted was not aimed at the chefs on xda but some of the members on xda. The smart mouthed, quick to flame, too expectant and never donate kinda people. Thanks again

We had thor here giving kernels, mdj with roms from other devices, dexter with his variations and mods. We still have richardtrip for honeyvillain and vache for taboonay. How can i ever call these guys clever fools? I respect their work and i was here from the beginnig when it all kicked off. So i know where i am coming from

Ok it is discontinued on XDA so there is no reason to have it open to an off-topic festival.

If Mdj will have some updates he will open it again.
[Acer Iconia A500] maltydog:
I have run the installation from the Clockword Mod 1.2 (from Acer Recovery Installer) and wiped data/cache/dalvic 3 times. When I ran the installation, and odd thing happened; when it was complete, it did not reboot or load the ROM. I did not have a choice to back up to a reboot screen either, the only choices were to install the default zip, install chosen zip and something about signatures and I think one more choice, nothing of which I wanted to do. So I held down the power button for a while, it finally shut down, and then I restarted. Held at the honeycomb for a while, finally the Rom started up and it seems excellent....I was very impressed that it ran its own reinstallation of all my apps, I've never seen that before.

However I would expect it to pick it up at first boot? like the stock rom?

Also it isn't found in Root Explorer either, I've removed and insterted it a few times and reboot, I might need to reflash the ROM me thinks.

I was going to go back to 3.0 but I see he is working on getting Dolby Mobile back, I might just hang around :)
