Feedback is awesome guys, I am sure the dev appreciates it...but please provide more info.

1) What is your CPU clock speed, have you changed it from from the default? Some devices react differently to overclocking. Some iconias will be able to OC to 1.5 Ghz, other may not be able to without issues.

2) What ROM are you using, Acer or Asus base?

3) Did you install any 3rd party apps before it started happening?

I tested this ROM last night (Acer based) and was able to overclock to 1.4 with no issues (didn't go higher yet). I did a bunch of benchmark tests and surfed the web for hours before going to bed and didn't have any reboots or other issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] DrPlumEU:
Great work. Ten minutes and all done. No reboot or FC issues at all. Does seem my A500 is a lot faster
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Are you serious about EzyPDF? I use it all the time and it is fast at changing pages. It even has a cool page turning animation.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
In what way? I am going to stick with the Acer and upgrade when the next generation of Android tablets are released.
[Acer Iconia A500] nmh5028:
I installed the Acer rom this morning and have noticed a few problems. I have Wifi set to never, and I have not changed any overclocking settings. I have had 2 reboots while browsing the web, one time where the screen would not turn on after the tablet had been sleeping for ~1 hour, and one time where the screen was unresponsive after waking from sleep (reboot fixed it).
[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
This helped my random reboots istantly.
[Acer Iconia A500] plemme61:
It's probably just me but "my library" force closes on me when i try to open a book other than that this rom is perfect .... any ideas on the reading app
[Acer Iconia A500] PaulG1488:
I'm writing this from my friends acer but I own a xoom and I surely agree that the xoom is better experience in every way
[Acer Iconia A500] hazard99:
Its better in every way except having a native usb port though the thing is fat enough to have one.

To each their own!
[Acer Iconia A500] jcrabapple:
+1 I'll be doing the same thing. here's hoping there will be a nexus tablet launching alongside the next nexus phone. both running Ice Cream Sandwich of course.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jak Crow:
I flashed this ROM today and it seemed to be working fine, but just now, it was sitting idle with no apps open and it rebooted itself.
[Acer Iconia A500] P-Unit87:
im having problems flashing the rom. I tried multiple choices to download from but each one is saying that it is corrupt zip file. Any suggestion?
[Acer Iconia A500] jcrabapple:
Mine rebooted once this morning. And the stock browser randomly closes for no reason. Other than that and the fact that no matter what ROM I try I can't get my mkvs to play correctly, I'm really freaking happy with this ROM and tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] HannoSLM:
hi guys,

I am getting a lot of reboots and browser craches with 1.08 assus, while the 1.08 acer base is working flawlessly ....

MDJ, could you please include back the ebook app from 1.06? I enjoy so much someone reading to me :)

thanks again for the brilliant rom
[Acer Iconia A500] anvandarnamn:
I had really big problems with random rebooting while in standby since installing 1.08 . My solution was to disable clearfi and the acerDLNA app in system.

Have not encountered a single reboot since yesterday :D

Rom feels very fast and smooth!!

is there a way to get the browser to cache the whole webpages? i dont like that its drawing the pages while im scrolling, feels to much like Ipad/Iphone :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
Hi,

Loving the ROM but I have some minor issues. It seems some of my games are not working properly (Force Closes immediately) namely:

a. X-Men

b. Age of Zombies

I have also noticed that the new font has affected my clock widget as the numbers are overlapping and not aligned.

Do I need to re-install the apps I mentioned or are they not compatible with 3.1?
[Acer Iconia A500] Quasarnova:
Video

What is the best video format for file in 720p to play on this rom and best program for convert it. i have convert some mkv in 720p Baseline mp4 using Handbrake but is not very very fluid.

I have read in some post that wmv format is better. This rom support that?

Bye.
[Acer Iconia A500] anvandarnamn:
Damn it! Just had another reboot!:confused:

Could it have something to do with the autobrightness? This is the only thing ive changed since yesterday... :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] DrPlumEU:
Perfect custom ROM?

Has been on for nearly 18 hours, no reboot at all.

Only issue: the ACER drawers no longer open - get FC. But I can live with that.

Riptide HD runs perfectly as does Shadow Guardian :D
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
i flashed this a couple of days ago despite everyone saying they get random reboots.

i had 1 reboot about 10 mins after inital flashing- however after i had done all my changes, i havent had a reboot since, with wi-fi on/off, manually turning screen on/off or jsut letting it time out, still no reboots.

changes include- OC to 12000 with interactive governor

deleting all the bloatware, layers, clear.fi, DLNA etc.... the list i posted is a couple of pages back.

auto brightness is on

renamed phone and telephony.apk to .bak

Running ASUS build 1.0.8

also to play .mkv.... download or buy Vplayer.
[Acer Iconia A500] jabbermacy:
bloody hell, lots of random reboots now on acer 1.0.8 -- disabled a few things mentioned previously but no joy -- gotta try a new ROM, just not as good as 1.0.6 for stability IMHO :(
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
should try the virtuous galaxy. its actually awesome, not as fast as picasso imho but the UI makes up for it.
[Acer Iconia A500] colin12345:
I'm trying out Virtuous Galaxy now. Very slick UI and for the moment stable.

I've also tried out Honeyvillain, which is very very stable.
[Acer Iconia A500] jcrabapple:
1.0.8 Acer build. GPS won't lock on for me. Also still has the bug where music takes a long time to switch between songs while the screen is off. Had one random reboot right after flashing and none since.
[Acer Iconia A500] Jak Crow:
I'm not able to boot into recovery via CLI or acer recovery installer since adding this ROM yesterday.
[Acer Iconia A500] s004kcg:
I also have issues with my gps and this build. Everything else is awesome. I used the gps.conf and gpsconfig files from Dexters build and i get locks in a reasonable time.
[Acer Iconia A500] EvilBosch:
I have the same problem with no connection at work (where PEAP/MSCHAPV2 is used), but perfect connection at home.

It's a shame, because not being able to access wifi at work is a bit of a dealbreaker for me. Otherwise, I think things look really good with this ROM so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] formulator_x7:
I had the same problem. I use PEAP with MSCHAPv2 also and couldnt getit to connect at first. Checked the logs on the radius server and showed successfully authentication even though the tab would just loop connecting and disconnecting. I was able to get it to work by manually editing /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.
[Acer Iconia A500] plemme61:
First off thank you to the dev for putting together a worthy rom .. i have been reading the posts in this thread( this is what I do to troubleshoot ..saves me hours ) and there aer members using words like "deal breaker" don"t like this" "I need this game" not stable and no mention of' which rom location' .... So that being said don t do it if you can t...... wait for the real update... geez '''

phew .. thats it .. now time to donate to the cause ... cheers ...

oh i was overclocking at 1400 now i up to 1504 no fc s no re boots over 2 hours now
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Great job on this MDJ. I installed (Acer base) over the top of leaked 3.1 without a wipe to see if it would work, and it is running fine - nice and smooth, and the font looks great. Hate the Asus icons on the dock, but we can't always get what we want!
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
Hey, how did you get your ps3 controller working? :D
[Acer Iconia A500] plemme61:
sorryry ps3 not working ....was working om primee latest patch though....
[Acer Iconia A500] Glebaka:
how about unity v3 on Vpicasso 1.0.8
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Use Dexter's patch to get the Acer buttons back. I don't know why people like the ASUS ones so much -- they don't match anything else on the screen!

Can you implement the "Thor Kernel for A500 V1" for your ROM? I think it will fix the reboots also...

The link to download the Virtuous Picasso v.1.0.8 zip file does not work for me. Any help???
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Yes, it's beyound smooth and beyond fast indeed! But I use Thor's Kernel because it has better optimizations regarding power management.

Bugs so far:

-screen turns on sometimes right after it dims when it's supposed to go back to sleep.

-some apps can't get root like reboot widget (gray one first in the market search) It says permissions granted yet the app complains it has no root. Tested the next reboot widget I've found, same thing.

Things I don't like:

-bloatware. What's up with that? Please consider addon packages, I do not like to spend more time removing apps I don't need than installing the rom!

-fonts. They look bad on smaller text. Again an optional addon package would be nice.

Thanks for a great rom but please consider the above.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Lol the xoom is definitely better built especially the 3g model. Hardware is better but software stinks! Even 3.1 on the xoom sucks and non-us devices havent even seen the 3.1 update. I own a xoom and i use the acer more. Draw is m-deejay and how easy it is to root and customise. Devs are active in here and that is why we are all here. Asus and samsung ports are just the start where m-deejay is concerned as this guy dont hang around. So xoom owners like me can only drool lol as imagine the galaxy rom on that lol

Facebook sync?

I'm running the Acer based rom 1.08. Havent seen this mentioned or I missed it. Under Accts & Sync Facebook is listed as an option to add account but when you press it, it blinks and nothing else happens. No option to sign in etc. Is there something else I'm not doing or is this disabled?

brilliant rom,thanks

Nice work everything works brilliantly.

I just have a few random reboots and browser closing on a few sites like goal.com but otherwise no problem

I wanted to ask whether icluding cdma apn option so as to set the settings for cdma dongles would work and if so would it have to be by changing the phone.apk settings. I was trying to follow something from this other post

WIFI

I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue...When first connected to wifi it works great, but when screen is allowed to sleep and then when i wake the tablet the wifi still shows connected but there is no internet access. i have wifi sleep policy set to never, running v3 unity kernel. Thanks for any insight.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cyclonut:
wifi

I'm on the 108 Acer base and my wifi is fine, even after screen off sessions. No reboot issues either. Just updated the kernal to v3 and it seems to run even smoother.

Hearing several people having bugs while others don't is sounding very familiar. Coming from the EVO forums it seemed a lot of peoples issues were from not wiping everything before installing the new rom. Just a thought.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
As a rule i always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and even battery stats! Never had most of these bugs being reported on here
[Acer Iconia A500] Cyclonut:
I hear yea...I am not a dev whatsoever but I almost think that each phone/tab has its own personality so to speak. My gf also has an evo and I have her on the same rom..do everything the same and I never have any bugs etc. Hers on the other hand I will have to flash things a couple times on occassion to get the same result.

Does anybody have or know of a patch or update that will work with the acer build 1.08 and unity kernel V3 that will change the white back and home buttons to the stock HC blue? ive tried dexter's and another one and both give me a system ui FC over and over again. have to force a shut downa nd do a restore to fix it
[Acer Iconia A500] daswahnsinn:
Just flashed this and glad I did. The screen is more responsive and the speed is great. Just what was Acer thinking before hand.

Great job on the ROM, Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] Fumetsu:
m-deejay or Dexter, don't know if either of you are watching this thread at the moment, but someone mentioned a volume fix on the Transformer forums to fix the low volume issue when switching from the Acer based ROM to the ASUS based ROM (the ASUS doesn't have Dolby Mobile and the volume seems really low).

Can you link to that thread or post the zip? The low volume is the only negative thing I've found about the ASUS based custom ROMs. Other than that it's wonderful.

Thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] henk_j:
i tried to instal this rom several times and always ive got reboots random, but now i flashed it factory reset format system installed the rom and the v3 kernel in one go, no reboots yet, playing half an hour tried several apps and it actualy makes me happy but i still dont know what i did different, or is the v3 kernel the solution? for the time beeing it :p seems that way
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
what about random reboots with V3 kernel?
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Your V3 was flawless to me. Am currently trying out Thor's. Have found that the ROM doesn't like it if you switch back - you can switch to Thor without wiping user data and it's OK, but if you switch back to V3 from Thor it kills my wireless.

This may seem like a very 'newbie' question. With the zip, if I just open it, can I just delete things like Telephony.apk and Phone.apk and anything else I don't want and still get a successful flash?

Does Google Video work for anyone/everyone?

When I open Google Videos, after selecting an account and approving sync, I get an error on the top portion (top 2/3rds of screen), and the bottom third shows a row of movies. Does this mean the service will not work if I do a rental?

I am curious because the original post seems to suggest that this service is working (otherwise why highlight that it is included).

I know it is not supposed to work with rooted devices. I just assumed the devs got around that somehow when pulling together the ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] Nucleotide:
For some reason I'm getting "can't mount sdcard" errors when trying to load the ROM from sdcard using CWM v5. There is definitely an sdcard in the tablet.. it's only 1gb though. Does the size matter?

The VP ROM is also in the root of the sdcard.

Anyone else come across this issue?

I'm assuming the sdcard is /mnt/external_sd/
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i think i can answer this:

1. you need to be located in US.

2. or you need to use a VPN based solution, so you appear to come from US networks. otherwise restrictions apply.

so its works fine, and A500 owners in US use it and vpn users, but thats pretty much it i think..

Oh Crap

Hi all. I'm hoping someone can help me, because I find myself in a very unpleasant situation.

I am running Virtuous Picasso (Acer) 1.0.8. Was originally on UnityV2, flashed to Thor's kernel 1.0, then to UnityV3. I've been on UnityV3 for 2+ days, running without any problems.

Played a little with the rotation lock switch, and had it locked to landscape. I can verify that I could access my /mnt/external_sd/ directory and browse the files/folders there using ES File Explorer just before this happened. So, next I booted to recovery with it locked (I don't know if it matters but it's the only thing I did out of the ordinary). Wanted to do a full backup using CWM. It gave me an error that it could not mount /sdcard. I freaked out a little, but did a reboot.

Once back in the OS, I just see "Empty Folder" in ES when I navigate to /mnt/external_sd/. Which of course, it isn't.

I've tried shutdowns, reboots, etc. Nothing gets it to see the external SD card. I even went into CWM and tried formatting it, but it said it couldn't mount it.

Any ideas? This is obviously HUGE because without it, I can't flash ROMs, etc. Not to mention that I store movies on it for watching while traveling.

PLEASE HELP!!!! I'm desperate!
