Don'worry, no md5 problem to worry about for just modifying the file name ;-)

Let us know if it works or not !

HI

guys with a501 can try the new 2.2 kernel... should have a501 support too now...

a500&a501 supported... :)

Cheers :)
[Acer Iconia A500] tatuk:
Thanks, brother, I will do that.

Random Wifi disconnects

I am also getting these radon disconnects too. I am sitting next to my 802.11g AP with a solid connection and then poof, it will disconnect from the AP. I have been getting these disconnects ever since i flashed Honeyvillian 1.1 with villian3.2 OC UV kernel.

I was hoping that after flashing the Taboonay 2.o with Thor 2.2 kernel, this would go away. Any ideas as to what might be causing the disconnects? is there a tool that i can install to see what might be causing the issue?

Acer Iconia WiFi Tab - Taboonay 2.o / Thor 2.2 Kernel

Netgear WRG614 v3 / WPA-PSK enabled

TucanoRC

Update: I turned off the WPA-PSK and just left the Wireless AP OPEN. I have been like this for the last 2 hours and have not had a single disconnect.

I turned on WEP and had 2 disconnects within 15 mins.

Turned off WEP and went back to no security and not a single disconnect. Guess I need to buy a new wireless AP. Hope this helps someone with the same issue.

how big is the downloaded file, when i downloaded it it didn't say how big the file was it only kept increasing the size of the file and i closed my laptop with out checking if the file was downloaded
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
fixed it last night, hitvans mention of the kernel was spot on, I upgraded to thors latest kernel and as soon as i reloaded the OS the sim message was gone :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Silverblade.nz:
3G not working on A501, greyed out signal bars and shows (No Service), also the APN settings have disappeared.

[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
I am getting the "insert sim card" message on the lockscreen as well but im already running the thor 2.2 kernel....
[Acer Iconia A500] Magaboo:
Here is what worked for me: Use something like Root Explorer and make the system w/r. Go to system>apps and change the name of, 'Phone.apk', to 'Phone.apkxxx', or what ever you like. Just re-name it to something you can later recognize in case you want to re-install it. Re-boot and the notice should be gone.

Anyway, that's what worked for me.

Correction: On the advice of more experienced members, I restored the phone.apk to its original name, installed Thors 2.2 kernel and added "ro.carrier=wifi-only" to the "build.prop" file. Works great and is safer than my original method.
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
Renaming phone.apk may be not without risks.

Better try to use Tabootools to stop sim mesage or modify the build.prop.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
yeah its easy with the tools. you already have the kernel, so just use tabtools and set the setting to Wifi only and reboot. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] hitvan:
no dont do that..your rom will become buggy

just use tabootools and select wifi only and restart or manually add ro.carrier=wifi-only in your build.prop and restart
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
or if you dont want to modify the build prop, (this is what i did) titanium backup, wipe, flash 1.1 FULL, do initial setup, goto recovery, flash 2.0 on and voila, the taboonaytools wifi only option will work with a compatible kernel. (if it didnt previously.

ps: thank you heaps for suggesting thors kernel hitvan :3
[Acer Iconia A500] hitvan:
cheers mate :D

btw ad-hoc not working for me...i wil try changing wpa_supplicant

and does anybody know of an app to transfer apk files from one device to another...bluetooth ftp transfer doesnt work for me

edit: changing wpa_supplicant worked :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ady72:
I sell my A500 to buy A501.Bought yesterday afternoon and yesterday night i flashed this GREAT rom that i've already installed on my A500.

Due to the problem with reboot of tab cause to the 3g on/off, i have a question.

Is possible using tabootools set a501 only for wifi and when needed set it 3g/wifi or at now is not possible because there isn't a custom kernel for it??

thanks to everyone
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
You probably can do that, you'll have to reboot each time you change the settings. The changing made by tabootools need reboot.

That will save battery.

You can try Thor kernel 2.2 it should work with A501 and 3G. If it doesn't, just tell him in his forum, I'm sure He will be pleased to help you as he asked for tester.

I read that Thor kernel has some problem on 3g.

I read that today new kernel has come out form richardtrip rebase on official a501.

I will try with it
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
my kernel works fine... no issue 2.4 works with 3g... I'm just fixing acer incompetence....

a full re-base to that toy kernel... not a very smart move :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ady72:
Great news for me!

Where can i find your 2.2? On tegraowners there is only 2.2 to download

I'll try it too tonight
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
I like the word toy :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
You can find Thor Kernel 2.4 and 2.6 there : http://www.mediafire.com/?03vx1g4qoz7km

read a bit here : http://www.tegraowners.com/?p=865 , in the comments.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
2.6 waiting to be tested hope 3g still works...

2.7 comes next with crap acer audio driver fix

tabootools does does not work right for me. if i select the wifi only option i get the insert sim message and the sim card installed icon on the bottom. if i select wifi and 3g i no longer get the insert sim message but i still get the sim icon at the bottom. i tried both kernals. any suggestions. i dont even mind the little sim icon cause it goes away after i click it but that is with the wifi and 3g option. will that drain my battery?
[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
Same here. I tried the tabootools way, switched back and forth and rebooting, still getting sim message on lockscreen. So i found the build.prop file in /system and added the line

ro.carrier=wifi-only

saved and rebooted and still i get the sim card message on the lockscreen......its like it cant be removed

delete phone and telephony apks from system/app got rid of it for me. I know a lot of people say don't do it you will get bugs and blah blah blah yet nobody has ever confirmed any bugs as a direct result of doing it and i have never seen any. For the exception of OTA updates, but who cares when we use custom roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] flexte:
I think ill just keep the tools setting on WiFi and 3g at least I don't see insert sim on the lockscreen. The only thing I get is a notification evertime i reboot saying aim is inserted

I ended up having to do a clean full wipe in cwr and start over installing this 2.0 rom and then the 3.3 villian kernel, then still had to edit build.prop but finally it worked.

Does anybody have a twitter app installed and running on this ROM. Running this ROM with thors kernel and no Twitter app will let me log in. Tried Tweetcaster, Tweetcomb, and Plume. All have issues logging in or contacting there servers. Which leads me to believe that it is a ROM/Kernel issue.

[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
be careful Seb, the source code nazis might complain your posting links to the darkside.
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
what do you mean ? external links are forbidden or Thor work is prohibited ?
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
they may have let up on it, but at one point they had issues even posting a link to his site saying it violated the gpl. Don't think it was so much external links as it was everybody complaining about the source code. like it is hard to google thor kernel or something :) nothing bad towards you, just a heads up
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
Ok, thanks, W8 and see ;-)

I remember the period we thought Thor was banned.

But, lots of people are taking advantage of his work and all A500 owners here use his recovery, so I think I can at least make some ad for him ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
i 100% agree with you on this. i usually just tell them to google thor kernel he deserves credit where credit is due, but the iconia forums used to be a nasty place.
[Acer Iconia A500] cordell507:
theirs something wrong with my wi-fi i don't know if this is a wide spread problem or not but my wi-fi constantly disconnects on it's own whenever im using the internet, i have to turn wi-fi off wait 30 seconds and turn it back on, it's happened with all 3.2 roms, is their any known way to fix it?
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
I've stated this before, my wifi disconnects about every 10 minutes, but reconnects right away. Does it on all of the 3.2 roms with all the kernel
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
Same problem with me. I had to go back to Taboonay 1.1 bc of the wifi issues. Many ppl had the problem but there has never been a fix and it has been with all acer firmware 3.2 roms. Im try 2.0 again with richardtrips new 3.3 kernal bc it has updated wifi drivers to see if that helps. Besides that idk, anybody else have any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
wondering if it is possible to globally change the default external storage to external sdcard instead of the ignorantly named sdcard internal memory. This is causing problems in that any apps that use storage like dropbox, google music beta, and titanium backup are filling up the internal memory instead of using the removeable sdcard like normal on the phones.
[Acer Iconia A500] jabbermacy:
Any luck with 3.3 kernel?? I was just about to update but not if I just have to go back. What about Thor's kernel?? WIFI -- OK or NG?

Ive been using it fine all day. Only thing i noticed when i first got home today and it auto connected to my home network it was having trouble getting out to the internet. Had to toggle wifi off and back on but other than that no biggie. Was on works mesh wifi network all day no problem.

With fresh install of 2.2 rom get random wifi disconnects

With richards 3.3 kernal same random disconnects
[Acer Iconia A500] utmoose:
i am coming from primee and am unable to get this rom to boot

i formatted and wiped and did all that good stuff but once i hit reboot, it goes to acer screen and then stays on a black screen

also dont know if its important or not but after rom installs in cwm, i get a weird error that says "unable to mount sdcard"

any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Maybe your zip is corrupt, I unzip just to make sure it would unzip and then flash as normal.

Flash as zip that is.
[Acer Iconia A500] utmoose:
yea i re d/l zip and its booting now

strange that it still has error after flashing that says "unable to unmount sdcard"
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
I got tha error also along with random wifi disconnects and sometimes have to restart the connection. No set pattern. Nice other than that

Also youtube won't play anything, just hanges and sometimes go to desktop.

This is a fresh install of 2.2 and the 3.3 kern no extra apps installed
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
flash 1.1 and then 2.0. Prime as a wrong build.prod. Taboonay 2.0 can't determine which tab you have (A500 or A501), so it can't install properly.

1.1 is only for A500 so no problem and then the 2.0 can detect tab version.

Wake Up Issue, Power Button Led Issue

Seriously, I have been looking around many times and I am puzzled nobody complains about these issues.

1. Power Button Led

As you all know Iconia has a led in the power button. For some reason the led flashes completely without any deterministic behavior. Sometimes it just flashes one second, sometimes it is lit for almost 1 minute, sometimes it flashes in long intervals and then just stops flashing and turns off.

Does not anybody care about this? Am I the only one with this problem? I am irritated a bit. I guess the power consumption is not high but anyway. Could we disable this in the kernel?

2. Wake Up Issue

The device just randomly wakes up. Now I have read about this in many places and people suggest several solutions. For me I have to use an automatic WiFi disabler when screen is turned off (I use Tasker for that).

What puzzles me is why has nobody fixed this issue. Does it happen to anybody else? Do you all use Tasker like me?

It is an issue since when the device is awaken it starts synchronizing data and performs other tasks. It is a battery drainer.

With my Tasker and disabled Cell Standby my battery lasts almost a week.

Without any of these it will be a little more than a day.

Anyway, thank you if you have any knowledge on the matter.
[Acer Iconia A500] favoritalex:
Ah, wiped and now it works perfectly.

Any way to get huawei modems to play with this rom? No cell network settings. For primee there is a patch for this. Anything like that for this rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
I'm coming from Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0 will i need to flash 1.1 before 2.0 on my

A500 or can i just wipe and flash the new 2.0. also how do i then go about installing this richardtrip's 3.3 kernel i keep hearing so much about. Do i just flash a kernel like i do a rom once the rom is installed i just boot into recovery again and reflash that kernel zip from sd card like i did the rom without the wipe?
[Acer Iconia A500] christianpeso:
This happens to me as well with this ROM and THORs newest kernel. Don't know what is going on with it. Just didnt really bother me that much. Would like to know why it is doing that.
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
wrong thread delete me
[Acer Iconia A500] paisos:
has the rom english language??
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
I think virtuous picasso is based on ACER ROM, so you shouldn't need to flash 1.1 before 2.0.
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
yes it has ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
Okay and can you explain if i have the kernel install right. I just install a rom/the i reflash the kernel zip from sd card exactly like i did with the rom file or is this done some other way.
[Acer Iconia A500] prophetic:
You got it right. Be very wary of your new addiction!
[Acer Iconia A500] CSeb95:
You've got a kernel included with Taboonay 2.0. You just need to flash a new kernel if you want to change for richardtrip or Thor ones.
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
lol thank you okay so just again please bare with me.........

Wipe the data......

flash rom zip on sd card......

reboot.......

reboot into recovery.......

flash kernel zip on sd card(using the sameway i used to flash the rom file)......

reboot.......

play...........

like that?

Do I need to wipe Cache partition and Delvik Cache?

Thanks just want to be sure before doing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibsk8:
I'm having issues with tethering, from HTC thunderbolt to the iconia, it just hangs at obtaining IP address.

Any ideas? I'm running Richards oc kernel. TIA
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
they way i have been doing it for years without issues are

Wipe data/factory reset (only if switching between different roms)

- if only swapping different builds within same rom not needed

Wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

flash rom

reboot and enjoy

if you are flashing kernel reboot into CWM

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

flash kernel

reboot and enjoy
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
Thank you much and just to clarify when you say wipe cache to be specific you mean wipe "cache partition".

one more question if I maybe ....

How should I wipe battery stats.....

Charge fully to 100% and keep plugged in while wiping stats then once rebooted unplug from charger and let go until tabby turns off then peak charge again.
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
yes wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache in advanced

as far as wiping battery stats i have never done it on my tablet, but on phones i would always charge to 100% and actually have a bettery monitor that would show you when you aren't charging at all. even thought your tablet may say 100% it would still take about 45 mins to an hour after it ssaid 100% for my battery to completely stop charging on my phone, desire hd. Then i would just wipe battery stats didn't need to have it plugged in or anything like that. Again this was on my phone not tablet but i can't see it being different. You can get current widget off the market and it will show you when your battery is no longer receiving electrical current from the charger, full battery.
[Acer Iconia A500] trevoryour:
Alright so I've been using this ROM for a while and so far I really like it. I was excited because it was actually an Acer Rom running 3.2 prior to the OTA being released.

Today I went to the about screen and got a force close when trying to go to Status. I thought it was weird since this ROM should work perfectly since it was made to be used on the Acer hardware. Then I looked down a few lines and saw that it was identifying my tablet as a Xoom.

I thought this ROM was based off of the Acer Rom, not the Xoom. Why does it show my model as being a Xoom?
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
my guess is you had a zoom port and flashed taboonay over it. Re read the last few pages and you will see you need to have an acer build rom before flashing taboonay 2.0
[Acer Iconia A500] trevoryour:
Actually I had a Transformer ROM prior to this one and that orignially caused me problems when flashing this one. I had to flash 1.1 prior to 2.0 so that the build.prop was set correctly. I guess there is a check to see if you are running the a500 or the a501 when the ROM is installed.

After thinking about it I bet it has something to do with the Netflix patch that I applied. Is it possible that Netflix batch could have changed my build.prop so that it says Xoom instead of A500?

Anyone else have an issue with getting a FC when attempting to look at Status on the about page? Maybe the issue is unrelated to the model.
[Acer Iconia A500] mrlonely78:
all is ok so far, only not here, 3g support, how to get 3g support on taboonay 2.0?
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
Amazing Rom man.......I combine this with Richardtrips 3.3 kernel and i'm loving it. The speed and effeciency is great! The Tabootools are freaking killer! Love it. Came from Virtuous Picasso 1.1.0 and this is lighteryears ahead!

Thanks vache and thor...:D
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
ive never experienced the wifi issues on thor's kernels. i might be a lucky one as i have seen posts in his threads regarding it, but it seems to be far and few that have wifi issues. all i can say is try it and see for yourself. Any issues i have had thor has always worked his ass off to to have them resolved in less then 24 hours. Don't be afraid to ask him questions and send him the help he needs, it usually ends up with the fix you are looking for.
[Acer Iconia A500] thahandyman:
Agreed he busts his arse and it shows. Ive never had probs with his kernel but when i read others issues he always reponds quick and usually finds an answer. Thor kernel + Vache's taboonay is such a smooth combo. Ive flashed just about every rom out and nothing else works as well for me. (side note: Richardtrips kernel is pretty beastly too... thors is more of a personal preference)
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
Well idk if the WiFi disconnecting is.a kernal issue. But taboonay 2.0 is really smooth and I want to use it but there's doesn't seem to be. Fix for the WiFi
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Sup gmfeny, got the same problem, read to install tabboonay 1.1 first and then flash over that with 2.0. Going to try that and will get back with you. Love the rom also, but just can't take the constante disconnects. Not all have this problem, so must be in the install procedure. Later
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
try to change the channel on the ap... maybe that's the problem...
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Have the same problem with Taboonay 2.0 with the kernel included, your kernel and richards kernel. I am back on stock 3.1 and all is fine. If I reinstall are the any logs I could grab that might help you track down the problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
I just did all the normal wipe stuff and installed tab 1.1

I then booted into tab 1.1

I close and rebooted into recoevry and install tab 2.2

Then thor 3.1 kern (before had rt 3.3) with disconection problem

Two min it, wifi disconnect.
