So, my problem still exists. I cant install the 2.2 update.

I can re-install 2.1 with no problem, but if i then want to install 2.2 it doesnt seem to accept it.

I will try re-downloading the 2.2 update and see if that fixes the problem.

I am using thor2002ro 1.3.4, can that have to d with it?

I got the CMW from the same site...

I just can't figure it out, I am able to restore to the any of the stock roms, including the Rooted Stock 3.2 US Rom for CWM posted by kekinash, but any custom rom seems to be a no go.
[Acer Iconia A500] CheopsChefren:
Have downloaded the update several times, all with the same size, but still no way it will install.

As said before, i can install any other Rom, be it custom, be it stock. Only this update to 2.2 doesnt want to install

I'm not sure if this matters or not but there is a 2.1b update also. I think you may need to do that one before you flash the 2.2 update.

Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to make the honeycomb bar a little bit smaller - I can switch it on/off but it just seems too big, would love to be able to make it a little bit smaller, and maybe even change the icons?

I'm at work now, so I don't have the tablet in front of me but does it have like a build.prop that we can edit the LCD density?

Would this be possible?

Following up on this, I was able to install a few different custom roms, just not this one. I have no clue why. I was able to install Lightspeed, Byakhee, and Primee-P9. I cannot install Taboonay and a rom that I can't mention that I got from the site with the horizontal scrolling. Does anyone know anything that is different in these two roms that would cause issues with flashing them?

Anyone using a Xbox 360 wireless controller? Mine was working perfectly, but a week ago it suddenly stopped working on my tablet (Taboonay 2.2, didn't change anything), and now everytime I connect the wireless receiver my tablet crashes. When I connect the wireless receiver before booting, it goes into bootloop.

Still working perfectly fine on my computer :(

Quick question, do you have an A500 (as you mention) or an A501? The A500 does not have 3G built in (unless you're using an external modem), only the A501 does. Give some more details to get an answer...

Model #

Kernel

Rom version

External 3G model

Was it working before you flashed this rom

etc...

if i start the tablet with the dongle in it it will give me an extra setting at the bottom of wireles & networks

[Acer Iconia A500] CheopsChefren:
Finally was able to flash this 2.2. All it took was the newest ?CWM? from Thor2002ro, 1.5 if i remember well, and after having flashed that, no problem flashing this 2.2 update.

Now I seem to have battery "problems", before i could use my tab for about 10 hours, now i must be happy if i get 7-8 hours before my tab is exhausted and needs to be charged again.

Is this perhaps due to the higher speed which is standard in this rom? As also it seems my tab gets warmer then before this update.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I had the same issue with the getting warmer than normal. Never caused an issue, just was odd. You'll notice this on OC'd processors at times.

Try flashing some of Thors kernels at tegraowners.com. ver 3.5 was good on taboonay 2.0, then I changed to 3.9 on Taboonay 2.2. Ran great but had an issue with an extremely gpu intensive live wallpaper, so now I'm testing an experimental kernel to fix the issue. (voltage tweaks). It was probably just a bad wallpaper as it alone was sucking 30% cpu.:D As I replaced it with a normal live wallpaper and things were fine.

If you flash one of thors kernels, choose "the others" for Taboonay and non stock roms. Delvik wipe is all you need.
[Acer Iconia A500] Oxirane:
Figured it out, but thanks for your response anyhow :)

In otherwords, you tried to install one of Thor's roms from www.tegraowners.com. It's ok, you can say it.

Hell, if it wasn't for Thors recovery, nobody would be flashing anything.

Taboonay has issues when trying to go to other roms, then back. I usually, after running taboonay 2.0 and making recovery, find out that I cannot flash certain roms. Black screen after acer logo.

Only after flashing my recovery image, then wiping, can I reflash the basic taboonay rom. Reason is, I lose SU permissions after running the recovery image. They will not come back. But, I cannot flash a fresh taboonay rom, until I recover, then boot and wipe, then I can flash a fresh taboonay.

And I cannot flash certain roms. My guess, is that some other roms, probably only 1 or 2, have the same effect as what happens after running Taboonay.

It is friggin weird. Like a script in the rom, can't run.

i only lost root on 2.1 after running the 2.2 update it was fixed.

I am having a few different problems (not sure if related to the custom ROM or the Kernel). I am running latest version of Taboonay along with latest version of Thor's kernel.

On several occasions, after I have pressed the power button to turn the screen off, or after the screen turns off on its on, I am not able to turn it back on again without holding down the power button to reboot the device. Also, there have been a few times where the the tablet would freeze up and I could not use the touchscreen and had to do a hard reboot. It also takes a very long time to boot up (seems like close to ten minutes).

Thanks for your help
[Acer Iconia A500] ubutnux:
it happened with my tablet sometimes ago. i think it's overclock faults. try to run slower clock or default clock. i'm using latest kernel from thor now, and i don't have that problem anymore (currently using 1504 MHz). But sure i can be wrong
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Same thing happened to me. I got tired of the forced close screens so I switched roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] Tempest_Inc:
Well I'm going to be looking at other Roms, I've adjusted my overclock. Swapped kernels. Started at different taboonay v. And upgraded to 2.2 repeatedly. I don't have this problem with taboonay 1.1.

So unless people have other ideas I'm either going back to 1.1 or I'm looking for a different rom. Normally I wouldn't be this way but I use this at for for inventory control of our computer equipment and I have to have the device fully functional.

To those of you who have reached a hand and offered ideas I thank you for your time and efforts. To the Developer, Thank Yiu. ill follow your product and I hope to make a return on a fixed revision.

@jhannbernas: I am using Taboonay 2.2 together with an E1550 Huawei 3G donlge without problems. Maybe you should check your build.prop entires.

"ro.carrier=wifi-only" must be switched off, e.g., by inserting # at the beginning of the command line.

[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Yes they do, look at what my device is coming up as (EPAD). It's an asus port and I love it.

I'm not sure if he does an acer rom
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
The tabootool switch is not properly working. Just use a root file browser, go to" /system", where you will find build.prop. Just open the file with a text browser, go to the last entry and check, whether there is "ro.carrier=wifi-only"; if yes, put a "#" in front of it (all without quotes). Then reboot.

When the build.prop is correctly modified, you will see a different network symbol, when wifi is switched off. Then you can plug in your Huawei dongle, and a 3G or H symbol should appear left to the network symbol. Then the stick is correctly recognized.

Best regards, maris

No more FC of Market 3.2.0 (well, one exeption)

Hi all,

I found a way to keep FCs away with Taboonay 2.2 and Market. I hope someone who else is having this problem can try my solution and post if it works.

I started with stock 3.2. Then I used method 2 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

I installed IconiaRoot and then AcerRecoverInstaller from the apk.

Booted into CWM.

Wiped device and dalvik under advanced.

Installed 2.1 Full followed by 2.2 update. Please skip 2.1b.

After boot, please use a google account that has nothing purchased to login. You can eventually use other accounts later.

The reason I went this route is I have an app, Enhanced Email, with which, I always had an issue on my A500. With stock rom, I got a Retry and eventually installed. With Market 3.1..., from the get-go, got FC on Market if I logged in with my account that had my purchased app.

Hope this helps someone else.

Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] jhannbernas:
hi all,

im a new for this rom and i would just like to ask if 2.1b is required for installing 2.2? or can i just install 2.1 full then go directly 2.2? or 2.1b is mandatory? thanks

you can go directly 2.1 full to 2.2 update :)

I've done it on multiple A500 16GB's without problems :)
