Possible gps help... worked for me.

Now being the noob that I am... take this for what it's worth. I also could not get a GPS fix with 3.01 although my tab could see 4 sats. I did some research and found that the GPS.conf file is too broad the way it comes. So the easy fix was to download faster fix from market which alters that file according to your location. Then I also installed GPS test to see the results. Now my tab can see 9 sats and fixes on 6. Accuracy of 15 feet. I don't know if this will help but maybe worth a try.

So far very stable. Only 2 apps FC so far Winamp and of all things xda free. Upgraded to premium and no problems. market won't purchase any paid apps but will download if purchased online and installed from main site. GPS fixed after minor change but now works great. Haven't had SOD issue since install and battery life is good with one recharge after 48 hours of mild use and being in standby the rest. So loving it so far.

i can has flash from thors 14.2 w thors cwm?
[Acer Iconia A500] Turboboxer:
Yep, just think of it as a custom ROM
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You're joking, right?

Several time's, through all these threads, and people ask the same question, and you ask this?

Did you ask Thor if you could?

Dude, Thor's rom, is a Rom, like any others.

Follow the flash and format procedures.

If in doubt, go to ;

http://androidtabletgeeks.com/forum/#topic/-TUT-Video-Format-and-Flash-Using-Amen-Ra-Recovery.htm

if you use an old CWM recovery, well, ask again.

One has to ponder, why XDA even has a "search" button...

Just to be clear, i dev for years now on Android, and i never asked for money/donation.

I'm really in a bad situation, that's why i'm asking. I don't want to a guy that dev for money.

Any help is welcome.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well in my opinion the bounty for ICS should got to vache , he made it possible for use to start this ,

SO ALL USERS OF ICS DONATE ,

Example I got over +10000 downloads on FLEXSTRIKER rom HC3.2.1 series , = 120$ , most people donate 10$ , you get how many of the 10000 donated .

I don't do it for the money and I think Vache doesn't do it for the money but if you would now how much time it takes to build a rom .

If everybody donated 1$ it would be great.

And we are very thankfull if someone donates even a $ to show you appreciate the work that has been done.

SORRY IF I WENT OFF-TOPIC.

So.

First impressions after installing 3.0.1 Taboonay.

I find it quick and responsive, the wi-fi works well, music (with internal player) and video (with Vplayer) work well, bluetooth data exchange input and output ok, wifi tethering ok, ok camera, youtube ok, ok browser.

Unfortunately the GPS does not work, I also installed fasterfix, but does not hook the satellites (some tips, ideas?)

The 3g does not work (I put the patch for A501) does not even see the SIM card (any tips, ideas?)

Vache thanks anyway for your work.

3.01 is running well. Two things I noticed, probably not the ROM, but thought I would mention it.

THe tablet version of Dolphin Browser crashes often. Normal version works fine. Probably the app.

Flash player does not always work. Sometimes it just sits there, like it it trying to connect and can't. My phone (also ics) has no issues with the same videos.

Yes, but in the rest works very much not correctly. At unpairing of devices, a tablet very long thinks, and as a result doesn't couple them. If during this moment to switch off bluetooth, the tablet will reboot. And all also it is impossible to connect phone as the modem on bluetooth, neither a standard method, nor other programs. I think that problem 4.

Cannot boot after flashing Taboonay 3.0.1

Hi, vache. I flashed the 3.0 ROM and then 3.0.1 update from Taboonay 2.2, using CWM5.

After rebooting, I get the "acer" logo and then the pixels. The pixels remain for a while, after that my tab goes to reboot into recovery automatically.:(

I'm not using an ICS bootloader. Do you know why I can't boot my tab?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] x51:
fonts

I dont think the fonts are working right.

For example using firefox (and many other apps) the fonts look like the font used for the clock (you can tell by the numbers) By default the font should be droidsans. The droidsans included in this rom is just Roboto renamed to droidsans.ttf. The problem is.. I'm not seeing the Roboto font either.

I dont think fonts are used based on the file name. I think its based on the identity within the file. Therefore there is no droidsans. Since the default font is missing... I think it uses the first font available (alphabetical?) and that is androidclock.ttf.

I replaced droidsans.ttf and droidsans-bold.ttf with the versions from stock HC Rom and my web browsing now looks what I would call "normal"

fonts are personal pref.. but I dont think it's working as intended. (I might be totally wrong.. This was a lot of guessing on my part)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Did you follow all instructions in op post. Including proper wipe and format instructions .

If so I would suggest really download the rom put on SD and try again.if it still does not work post back exactly step by step what happened including rom coming from and complete cwm version.

Good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
Not sure if you worked it out.

I flashed each file one after the other, allowing a reboot inbetween just to make sure the file flashed properly. I would then reboot into recovery and flash the next file. I'm sure you could do them all in one go, but I like to make sure and do things right once.

You have to load it once pushed to /system.

You can check it's loaded :

You will have to load it each time you reboot until i release an update with automatic modules loading.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I think a lot of you people, should "step up to the plate" and donate for all that Vache has done for the community.

The leaked roms (for which most of you, would not be running if it weren't for him). And that includes the "modders" who have created their "custom" roms. If he weren't able to give everybody "leaks", well, we would still be back on 3.0.1.

I'm not on the same scale as Vache, but I did my part. And he honestly needs all our help right now.

Most of you all, have run his roms for a long time. Now, it's time to make things right.

And don't be chintzy either. Most people could sacrifice a few trips to McDonalds. And your body will also appreciate it.

I expect at least half, of what I donated. We as a community, owe this to Vache.

If not, well, then we all get "nothing" in the future.

I also found that settings fc when you try to change the brightness...

Got the mobile settings up but as Moscow said, it can't connect to networks, some error involving the hardware, it also stops giving the error once you click "select automatically".

Trying to change network acces names just fc's...

In the about menu it seems to give the correct information of the tablet in device information, though the product SKU is wifi. It has the right model number, rom size, ram size, code sn and SNID. Gives all info except for the IMEI number, could this be causing the hardware failure mentioned above? :confused:

[Acer Iconia A500] cq842000:
Okay, I just got your 1.0 rom and Thor's kernel installed, then patched to 1.01 and it went flawlessly. My device is appreciably zippier with the leaner build and it OCs great. The UI works well and maybe I'm imagining it, but it looks sharper too, and the included apps are a great choice. Great job so far man, it can easily be seen that you've put in the blood, sweat, and tears. Some issues I did run into though. ..

1.) Now my Xbox 360 controller no longer works, as in it doesnt get detected...would Drive Mount have anything to do with this?

2.) My GPS doesnt detect any satellites to lock, whereas previously it worked passably even without a clear view of the sky.

3.) Also you might be interested to know that superuser needed an update to run on my Acer Iconia.

4.) Coming from the rooted stock 3.1 Acer rom, cell standby is back, though I dont think Acer has released the 3.1 source yet so I dont fault you for that.

Other than those miniscule nuances, outstanding job with this project man, I look forward to using future builds from you. One thing I am also interested in is getting the GPU overclocked like what was done with the tiamat build for xoom.
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
Thor knows about the gps issue and said it will be resolved when beta 4 is released. i believe the xbox controller issue and GPU overclock are also kernel related in which case thor may have a better answer for you.

just downloaded and flashed beta 4 of thor's kernel and gps issue is fixed. i get a lock in gps status, even indoors which is rare for me, and google maps has me accurate to 10 meters. GPS turns off when exiting the apps. don't have a xbox controller to test for you and never thought of OC the GPU
