I see this thread updated on 12/10/2011 but I wasn't sure if I am running the current version or not as I had Taboonay 2.2 before 12/10.

Kernel version: 2.6.36.3HoneyVillain-3.4+

Taboonay 2.2 (7.006_COM_GEN1)

What i am not sure about is that in 2.2 it says that it has "Added back WiFi Fix from Acer for DHCP lease", however, I am still having this issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] tomplatz:
3.2.1

Anyone know if there's plans to update Taboonay to 3.2.1? I have the wifi connect problem and had read that this was addressed in the .1 update.

Thanks Vache!
[Acer Iconia A500] al2fast:
Finally have enough posts to post in Dev section. Thanks for great ROM! Smooth, fast, and stable.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Because that Acer patch doesn't solve that problem for all.

http://dev-host.org/jd3wcgwt6we8/WIFI-PATCH3-DHCP-FIX.zip download it and flash with cwm,but first make a nandroidbackup.

Its a wifi patch I made for one of my HC. 3.2 roms, it contains a framework jar that i made and that solves the real dhcp problem.

It works on any deodexed hc3.2 rom.

It also installs the Acer wifi patch and roach wifi set patch.

With this all your wifi problems should be gone.

I build it in in all my roms and no complaints.
[Acer Iconia A500] poita18:
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Have tried so many different patches and 'fixes' for my A500 wi-fi issues.

First install, wi-fi connected immediately and hasn't disconnected yet.

Have d/l close to 800mb with no drop out (damn you gameloft games)

So thanks again :)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No problem. The magic thing is the modded framework.jar that is in my patch.

You can install it on any HC 3.2 and even 3.2.1 rom should be possible.

Odexed and deodexed.
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
Civato, are u still working on ur flex builds??
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yes, you got flexstriker light here at xda.

Flexstriker full version with custom kernel (and I got native ntfs support on it working, no drive mount needed and that is unseen on a A500 custom kernel) can be found at tegraowners. You got color 4 color themes and 3 are in the making.

Its a full HC 3.2.1 rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] IceBone:
i seem to have lost root. Only tabootools gets it, everything else is denied. I also can't update the su binary...

What the hell happened?
[Acer Iconia A500] Baldyl0cks:
Installed this on my A500 the other day, have noticed the screen turns on and will not turn off (even thought lockscreen timeout is set to 5sec and standard timeout is set at 30sec), lose my battery life before the end of the day because of the issue.

Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? :P

and does anyone know of a fix?
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
hi everyone

I'm new Iconia a500 owner, and i'm about to flash Taboonay 2.2 ...

But I'm quite surprised by this forum: no messages at all ... Is this ROM dying? is still Vache working on it?

I saw some messages with no response like for having a 3.2.1 based ROM, etc.

Question is: is this ROM still under "support"? Or is it better to use other ROMs ??

thanks for your advice or ... answers !
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
I am not sure this is being actively supported or not. A lot of the developers are playing with ICS roms.

Having said that. I have been running 2.2 since it was released. I use the Thor kernel and everything has been rock solid.

I will being staying with this ROM, until a good ICS one comes out.
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
Thanks

I might do that too ...
[Acer Iconia A500] RiceDie:
I have tried on my Acer Iconia A501 the following roms

Acer A501 HC 3.2 4.031.24 fguy (it stopped working with my WiFi router)

Harkon 1.0 - A501 Rom based on A501_4.037.01_EMEA_TMPL 15.10.2011 (its a good rom)

IcedComb 1.0 from IcedCube 22.11.2011 (good rom)

Taboonay 2.2 (all is working fine 3G, WiFi, overclocking)

Moscow's A501 3.2 Alexandra II OC/UV (played with this rom got the same maximum result as in Taboonay 2.2 with the AnTuTu benchmark both use the same HoneyVillian 3.4+ Kernel)

Now Ive clear wiped all the device using Moscow Desires method and put a clean Taboonay 2.1 + 2.2 update. (It feels a lot smoother now although the result in AnTuTu stays the same)

Long story short I run Taboonay 2.2 but look out for Moscow Desires work and eager to get a good working ICS on the A501

Edit: Mistyped
[Acer Iconia A500] Erik_T:
I see what you did there..
[Acer Iconia A500] sedardna:
no news about this rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] RiceDie:
Now Im running [ROM][HC 3.2.1] Moscow's Alexandra III Rev 1.1

Working like a charm and its a ROM that gives more focus to the A501 devices
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Thanks for all your hard work, dude. Great ROM. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
What happened to vache, has he moved into different device development, i havent seen him post here in ages :(
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I did a little reading, and it looksnlike he has moved on to develping for ICS. I hear the A500 isbgetting ICS soon, so maybe hes getting it developed for us?

On another note, any favorite themes for Taboonay's Rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] Besieger:
Great ROM, it seems the only one works fine on my Iconia A501!) Many thanks)

But I've got a question: will it be updated to HC 3.2.1 (maybe, via patch 2.3 or something else)? Thanks in advance)
[Acer Iconia A500] zahbaker:
Flash Help

Hi Guys, maybe I am doing something wrong here. I rooted the device (A500) I copied the ROM on the SD Card and each time I try to boot in recovery I just get the Android bot with an exclamation. Am I doing something wrong? Please help. Recovery boot (Power up + Vol up) right?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
Stupid question : did you flash the recovery after rooting the tablet ??
[Acer Iconia A500] zahbaker:
Thanks for that, I did manage to flash the tab, the issue now is that when I select "install from sd card" I get an error stating that the E: Error reading drive Cannot be mounted. Please advise.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
mmmhhh ..... never saw this error.

Check if your sdcard is formatted in FAT32, and not in NTFS ... Not sure recovery can read NTFS :confused:

If it's in FAT32, try to connect your tab to your computer and to mount sdcard .. Tell if there's an error or if it works. We'll see at this point ...
[Acer Iconia A500] zahbaker:
Can I mount the rom on a USB stick and run it from there? When I plug the Tab to my pc I see the SD CARD.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

The error is still present : Error E: Can't mount SD Card
[Acer Iconia A500] bennec83:
Any updates for this...its been 4 months!!!

or is this yet another dead rom for the Iconia?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] bengal92:
I don't understand the question :-/

internal memory and SD card can be used

I'm not sur for USB stick ...
[Acer Iconia A500] malickie:
Let me take a guess and assume you have a Class 10 Micro SD Card?? Or something around there. If you do I had the exact same problem and the Only way I have found around it is to use a slower class SD card when flashing Roms with this device. As far as I know Recovery cannot read USB Sticks.
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
ROM updated to v3, based on ICS Leak.

All needed infos available in the OP.
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Hey great work Vache :)

Currently on ICS v96 and am loving it.

Looking forward to giving this a go. Downloading now...

Cheers for your dev work :)

MJ-12
[Acer Iconia A500] ubutnux:
downloading v3. thx
[Acer Iconia A500] Krendelrus:
So awesome, thanks a lot a vache! This is so much better than my own rom I'm currently using on the A500 :)
[Acer Iconia A500] t-dkp:
Very good job, thank you for all :)

François:D
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
He wants to install the rom totally to the USB External drive, and run it from there. Don't think it will work. If it did, all of us would be running all types of different roms, and never have to install one on our tab :D
[Acer Iconia A500] RiceDie:
Hey guys is this A501 3G friendly?
[Acer Iconia A500] smaury:
Wow great job vache, Acer Ring is a good implementation! However I saw you call in init.d the zipalign script, but you have no zipalign binary in your ROM, I hope this could be usefull ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Besieger:
WOW, greatest THX, Vache!!! So, the same question: will built-in 3G (A501) works with Taboonay 3.0?))
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
NICE Vache !!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
I'm making some tests to be sure that it will not slow down the boot process before including it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Wasn't working in the original versions, and I doubt 3g support was added to the leak kernel as usually that's what it needs. But install it, and let me know ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] smaury:
MAybe after restoring all apps after the first boot it's a little slower, but in the normal use it doesn't change a lot. Nice work again ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
No, i didn't look at that for now. Will have to find some A501 users to make some tests.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I'll check things for you later tonight if you wish. I tried several permutations in the original build.props, (1st version on leak) but couldn't even shake the 3g menus awake.
[Acer Iconia A500] Besieger:
Roger that!) Ok, I'll try to flash T3.0 and provide a small feedback after testing))
[Acer Iconia A500] ubutnux:
anyone has problem downloading apps from market?

got an error message when trying to download
[Acer Iconia A500] Besieger:
Could you specify, what kind of message did you received?

Generally it is likely enough to clear Android Market cache and reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] ubutnux:
"name of the apps" could not be downloaded due to an error
[Acer Iconia A500] terrormattie:
Great rom! Thanks for everything! I noticed the sound is much louder, am I rigth?
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
does this support face unlock?
[Acer Iconia A500] giancaleone:
Great work. Tanks for this Rom.

Does this support ad-hoc wifi?
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
i also assume you can now wipe and go back or forward without any problems? sorry i have been busy lately and not keeping up...
[Acer Iconia A500] shadow147:
Hello Vache if you want I can testing the ROM for a501.
[Acer Iconia A500] birdster:
just installed this rom and after sleeping for a few seconds on lock screen i have to reboot the rom everytime, i think i read this was a problem with the original leak but i thought a mention on this problem would of been fixed or at the very least mentioned in your first page before people install this rom !!! :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] naTpuoTXDA:
I can test a501 ROM too

Thank for your hard work
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No , you don't
[Acer Iconia A500] DerKlotz83:
I Can Test the Rom for the A501 too :D:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] 10507:
Thank you civato. I am running your Flexreaper r3 and about to flash your R4, but first I want to flash Vache's Rom to see how the new ring lock look:)

Damn, you guys are genius!!!!!!

Hi to all!

I have a question about flashing this ROM.

I currently have CMW v5.0.0 (rev 1.3.4 thor) installed.

Can I flash without problems? Or should I update the recovery/flash RA recovery?

Thanks guys!
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Find what was wrong with my repacked boot. Testing it for some minutes to be sure that it's now Ok before uploading it.
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
i would also like to confirm this?
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
Many thanks for porting the Acer Rings over. Nice to have an opportunity to try them out but disable if prefered. Excellent work as always. Between you, Smaury, Civato, and richardtrip, the A500 has a good team of devs. Excited to see what you can do w/ this leak
[Acer Iconia A500] vizzzy:
It works with thor's recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
thank you, i read problems with ics leak and installing and being stuck on it, just wanted to make sure
[Acer Iconia A500] vizzzy:
Its fine as long as you have a nand.
[Acer Iconia A500] jimmyzshack:
Same Question, if not do i just need to install it from Gapps?
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
but upgrading to a newer version of this rom or any other ics rom will work without having to do a nand first right?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
SOD Fix : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=143

Flash the fix with recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] qubanaso:
Nand is for Backup in case you get bricked or Stuck on something that you are flashing it saves you headache and time :D
[Acer Iconia A500] aben2amu:
Hi, if I have thor´s ICS what should I do beside wiping data and factory reset?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sean09:
Wait for Thor's newest release?
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
He's asking what else he needs to do to flash this ROM.

Just wipe it all and flash.
[Acer Iconia A500] damador:
501 ready for tests
[Acer Iconia A500] qubanaso:
wouldnt that depend on what bootloader and recovery? i have RA 1.36 and Thors V96
[Acer Iconia A500] aben2amu:
I want a real Acer rom, not CM9 patched to Acer.

Thanks.

In the Gallery only pictures in picasa set to public show up. Used to be all pics in my gmail picasa account show up. Anyone know if i missing a setting or is this how it is now?
[Acer Iconia A500] aben2amu:
I have the touch version 1.7, will it work?
[Acer Iconia A500] vizzzy:
pulling out apks from another rom or gapps is not going to work. it certainly needs more work.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Yeah, but he wants to flash an ICS rom from an ICS rom. I'd figure that's like going from an HC rom to another HC rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] vizzzy:
You will definitely not loose recovery by flashing one of these custom roms.

Though its always good to have a nand backup of your current rom before flashing. But i am sure you will not have any issues flashing this rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
excellent, i just got done flashing with SOD fix and acer shell cant wait to start playing
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Is the new nice acer clock removed or the old one from HC?

that is awesome you got the ring and lock screen working thanks alot!:)
[Acer Iconia A500] vizzzy:
It will work. Do a full wipe. flash this rom. flash the boot.zip. Of course take a full backup initially.
[Acer Iconia A500] aben2amu:
Thanks, doing a nandroid backup now. :)

Flashed and booted up with a weird image but then ICONIA TAB and running now. Market did not restore my apps, no biggie.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Does this get rid of the recovery I have in place? I really like the way its setup.
[Acer Iconia A500] vizzzy:
boot image is a known issue. Market did restore all my apps. Are you using this rom or one the from civato/smaury?

It will not delete your recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
I was wondering when we'd see an upgrade for Taboonay! Thanks Vache! I can't wait to get home :D

[Acer Iconia A500] nitodu:
HI!!

Awsome job Vache! thank you very much!

quick question, right now i have installed in my a500 Thor recovery 1.7 and his ICS v.96

so to install this ROM i wipe everything, Flash the ROM, let it boot?, then flash SOD fix, let it boot?, and then flash boot.ICSbootloader.zip?

is that it?

i have flash many ROM´s in my tablet and phone so im not that of a noob but just to be sure... jaja :)

Thanks again!
[Acer Iconia A500] wesvista:
This wil add face unlock option and fix the setup.

Only problem it is not working at unlock maybe somebody with more time can fix it :) .

http://j.gs/djC This is not a flash zip!!! copy and set permissions
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Can someone confirm that Acer Ring is working ?
[Acer Iconia A500] TheHunterOfShadows:
Sorry if someone else mentioned this, but anyone have an issue where soon after turning the display off the tablet just completely shuts off?

Didn't know that's what SOD meant. I'll flash that.
[Acer Iconia A500] qubanaso:
Negative flash everything after each other Rom, Boot.ICS zip and SOD Fix, i dont think the last two matter in the order that they are flash but all have to be flashed at the same time, correct me if im wrong please :p
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Yep, working! I edited the build.prop to enable it. Thanks a lot.

Yes, the button works. The 5-finger gesture doesn't work... Changed Rom before flashing (build.prop and boot.img).

Hi there is a work around to allow the ad-hoc wifi support.
[Acer Iconia A500] nicopilami:
Hi

could you tell me if the built in "vendor_xxxx.kl" and "vendor_xxxx.kcm" (physical acer bluetooth AZERTY keyboard

layout files) are still present in this ROM ?

Actually, the issues I had about ACER bluetooth keyboards with previous Taboonay (2.2) was that those files where not present on the ROM... flashing a rooted near stock HC ROM solved the problem, but of course it removed Taboonay 2.x...

Thanks

Nico
[Acer Iconia A500] aben2amu:
All is working well, thanks a lot.

Great rom so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] jimmyzshack:
Ad-hoc fix. This worked for me, Turn the wifi off, then copy the attached file with root explorer to /system/bin dir and set the permissions the same as the other files in that directory and reboot your device.

No, it's not needed with ICS bootloader.

Coming soon, currently cooking the update file.
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
Everything's running great, Vache. Thanks for putting this together.

Only issue Im running into is occasional skipping when playing 720P MKVs (either through DicePlayer w/ HW acceleration or with MX Player Pro.

Also, the "popping" sound when keyboard sounds are played back on Acer's keyboard. Seems to be the same on all the Acer leaks tho. figured Id report it :)

As we dont have any way to overclock the CPU atm on ICS, does anyone have any suggestions to get things playing smoothly, as they did on HC using DicePlayer.

Also, what gov is recommended? seems interactive is default, but I usually use ondemand. What have you guys experienced between these?

Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to the next update. Will it include the Wifi ad-hoc fix I saw a few posts above?

[Acer Iconia A500] malickie:
Awesome job on the early release of ICS. I assume Camera and such work. I can deal if they dont just curious. Can't wait to see how ICS does with OC considering I hear ICS is quite smooth without OC. I look forward to seeing what you can do once the actual real update is released.

OMG first impression of ICS = WAUW!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] elmerohueso:
Does this have CIFS support?

Does it have NTFS support, or should I just use Drive Mount?
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
wow

Been using this for several hours today.

Its totally awesome with the exception of some screen artifacts from time to time with stock browser. Chrome is much worse.This issue seems like the browser can't keep up with the device.

The Acer ring is kinda nice works great. But its just flash.

Everything works great. After the above ad-hoc patch splashtop seems to get thru my firewall much quicker with very little lag over 3g.

Awesome work vache and all other developers
[Acer Iconia A500] mrmela:
I starting Tabooney 2.2.

I ran the wipe \ factory reset.

I ran the flash Tabooney 3.0

Booted and rebooted into recovery for the flash file SoD patch

Restarted, run the flash of 3.0.1

But I have a problem. Before the word "IconiaTab" to boot, it always appears as a colored monitor all disturbed.

What have I forgotten?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
No, i have to build needed module.

Edit : NTFS is build-in, should work as it is.

Nothing bad, it's a known issue with current boot.
[Acer Iconia A500] mrmela:
Many thanks vache!

For the rest, everything perfect!
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Here you go for modules : http://fileshost.fr.mu/download/112/Modules_ICS_kernel.zip.html

Including cifs, ntfs, hfs, hfsplus.

Some modules are build-in the kernel : option and usb_wwan for 3G, nfs, sunrpc and maybe more.

If someone need more modules, let me know.

I'll add them in the ROM for the next release.
