Are we able to OC this? Everything is working so well, I don't want to mess it up trying. If so, which App?

Sad to hear you're selling your a500. thanks for keeping up such a solid a500 build.hope you can keep until the I can get the tools app working on this ICS leak.thanks again for your hard work, always sucks to, lose a great Dev
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Ok my market works perfect at market.android.com

I have a strange issue thou. Maybe i flashed wrong.

My first install of this Rom.

Complete wipe.

Complete Format.

Flashed rom from sd card.Version 3.0

Flashed the Shell.acer Zip.

When i flash 3.01 i loose the Lock screen Updated wring.It goes back to nothing but Unlock and The acer ring inside the os is also gone.. I Restored my backup and on 3.0 now. With the only issue is some strange screen tearing at times.. But Its bearly noticeable.

Other issue i noticed last night.With google chrome browser. The tearing is worse and right before it starts i sense a bit of shaky . It will also go totally black. You have to hit the back button to exit it. then you will get the app stoped warning. Guess this is expected due to beta.

The wifi issue for me is not present. I just have grayed out tray icon.I can see the status indicated of data moving. Going into settings/WIFI I have a solid signal. even tethered using wifi tether Could the ad-hoc patch be causing the Icon issue.

humm. i will revert back to old file and see.
[Acer Iconia A500] darkdragone:
I cant get mine to work at all, it just says face unlock couldn't start when I try to set it up, also idk if it does this to everyone else but when i try to set it up it will rotate the screen counter clockwise by 90 degrees, either if im in portait mode or landscape...

SOD Fix
[Acer Iconia A500] octoberriot:
I just can't seem to shake the SoD. I've wiped and flashed several times. Flashed the base, then the update, then the fix. Happens every time. No matter if I flash the update with it or not.

When I flash the Acer ring in the whole process, I don't get a SoD, rather when the tab sleeps, it'll randomly reboot after about a minute.

It seems OK at first, then after about an hour, after I set everything up, it starts. It seems to happen no matter which rom i use aswell. Just tried Icey and still got the SoD. Is it possible there an app I'm installing from the market that's effecting it?

Should I perhaps use the ics bootloader or whatever it is I keep hearing about?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:

How about USB 3G? Is it work?
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
I am running 3.0.1 with the WiFi-fix and its running perfectly fine, I do have the boot screen pixels and the keyboard sound pop (but change to go keyboard and that fixed it :P) I don't mind at all this 2 small bugs.

Acer ring works perfectly, face unlock works perfectly, WiFi works perfectly. but I have

one small and annoying bug for me, I can't uninstall any system apps with Titanium Backup all I get is Cannot remove system app: Failed to locate APK, tried to uninstall all the pre-installed games (hero of sparta to be exact) and a few other system apps, all of them give the same error, its probably a Titanium Backup error, but just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?

I installed 3.0 after a system wipe, so my rom is clean, root works perfect as I can copy files to /system with root explorer.
[Acer Iconia A500] carpenterethan:
Yoyoyo try removing from tablet's system settings ..... this was a solution in a OP for another ICS Leak ROM
[Acer Iconia A500] nicopilami:
actually for me, the ring is working, but I can't configure it.

Am I the only guy with this issue ?

bye

[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
thanks, that doesn't work either... can't even seem to find the APK with a file explorer... this is weird...
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Hero Of Sparta is not included in the ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] sloaxleak:
bull****! I've applied the patch and my iconia has SoD
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
weird, I can run it, and I can see it as a system app, I just installed the rom from a full wipe from 3.0 then 3.0.1 then sod fix then WiFi fix, I am sure I didn't installed hero of sparta... how did it got into my system ?
[Acer Iconia A500] spock666:
Hello vache,

first thanks for the great ROM.

But it may be the camera that does not work?

No luck. i pushed the honeycomb lib and added the lib path to build.prop but it gives me a "Busy activating mobile internet Or other unexpected network response error" message.

Does this error look familiar ?

Excellent Rom but face Unlocks does not work on my tablets :(
[Acer Iconia A500] jazzyjames:
I feel dirty for even asking this, but can we get a flashable zip with all of the games in it so we can add them back in?
[Acer Iconia A500] slink_59:

i installed 3.0.1 update but face unlock don't configure : "impossible de démarrer Face Unlock".
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
well I just did a complete wipe again, re installed 3.0 then 3.0.1 and I still get Hero Of Sparta!!! and a LOT of acer bloatware not present in your screen shots... any idea WHY ?? :(
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Hero of sparta isn't even in vache's rom zip , did you do a real format ?

Get rid of corupted data.

For CWM

go to in recovery enter "Backup and Restore" and click on "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)"

should say enabled....

then go into "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data"

this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
Thanks! I will try that!

EDIT: NO! it did not worked... I formatted everything (including external and internal SD), could it be that those apps are saved in my google account?

EDIT2: no, I just wiped completely, did a reinstalled, didn't use Google account and still get all of the bloatware... where is it coming from ?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
I'll make an update with all games.

Not really, could you provide a logcat ?

adb logcat > c:\logcat.txt

Launch it when the tablet boot until it fully booted.

Humm i think i know why. Some Acer apps are installed on /flexrom and it's not formated when installing the ROM. Try to format it with your recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] Turboboxer:
ok, so to chime in. Sorry Vache. But I do LOVE this ROM. I installed wifi fix and the bars are back but cannot connect to any secured net work still. If no security then it connects. I am using my phone hotspot. So I know I have the correct password. I have even changed it a few times and tried other encryption settings. If secured at all, NO GO!
[Acer Iconia A500] jazzyjames:
Awesome man I appreciate it.
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
That worked!!!

Thanks :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Update for 501 users. Looks like no internal 3g for us for awhile. Added ip-up-vpn to etc/ppp. Still no go. As vache's Test 2 activated the 3g menu. :), but adding APN manually gets "unfortunately settings has stopped". Doing a manual or automatic search get's "busy activating mobile Or other unexpected network response" message.

Looks like it's close, but no cigar. (it was looking for mobile).

Ehh, still a good rom for the 501 folks! Sorry couldn't get it going.... yet

And thanks Vache! For taking the time to look into this. We appreciate it a lot.

Overclocking

Hello,

this ROM is great!

I com back from Tegraowners ICS ROM v96;).

But how can i overclock thts ROM?

My A500 run only with 1000MHz!?

Thanks...
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Wipe your flex rom?

Edit: guess I was a little late on this one..
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
It's a stock kernel so we can't overclock it for the moment. We'll probably have to wait for an official release and Acer to drop the kernel source.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Would tegrak work? it worked for HC stock kernels.
[Acer Iconia A500] drellisdee:
vache what exactly is needed to add facelock? I see the files that go into vendor & the apk and libs. Are any changes needed to framework-res or to settings.apk needed?
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
But I guess formating Flexrom wasn't a good idea... I can't get anything to work now even after several full wipes and re installs :S no ring, no WiFi, no screen lock, :( going back to my nandroid backup and starting from scratch ... will keep you posted
[Acer Iconia A500] jaizero:
Stock browser crashes non stop. Not force closing just crashing. Random screen flashes now and then, not really a problem. My camcorder is only showing 720p but when recording video quality is crap. Played the video on my 720p TV over HDMI and it looked worse than VGA.

Running Taboonay 3.0.1

Also if you would like to run the Ring you can make the build.prop changes with a build.prop editor found in the market. It was easy!

Link for the flashable zip of the Ring appears to be down as I can only download a file called index.php

Thank you for your hard work!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Might want to try RA Recovery instead of CWM.

Then you only need to wipe

Userdata/factory reset

Wipe Dalvik

(the rom should format system before it installs)

Then do your rom

Reboot, let it run for a couple minutes

Then boot to recovery

Wipe Dalvik

Install the 3.0.1 update (if needed)

Reboot, let it start and run a minute or so

Boot back to recovery and wipe dalvik

and install the lockscreen mod

Don;t flash all these things at once. 1 at a time usually works.
[Acer Iconia A500] niabi:
After going back to my nandroid, and reinstalling everything from 0, I got it running again :) with all the bells and whistles.

Any idea Mr Vache? I don't want to use my 3.2 backup :(

ROM RUNS Great After Wifi Fix

After the 3.0.1 update I no longer have the SOD issue! I was having some wierd issues with my Wifi at work and at home. At work I was periodically getting dropped off, we have WPA2 with EAP. I would just have to reconnect periodically. Then on my home network I never had the blue color in my wifi indicator and my whole tablet just was laggy.

After the Wifi fix, I now have the blue indicator or coloring in wifi and everything is running quickly. I will test the wifi fix at work, that may have been the issue I was having.

Uh oh, some trouble...

I used the faceunlook with the 3.0.1 and it worked. Then I applied the Wifi fix and the A501 test and... no facelock anymore... Each times it tries to start "Impossible to start Facelock".

Edit: Ok, reinstalled 3.0.1 update, then wifi fix, facelock works back. Seems A501test broke it.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
i cant download 3.0.1 update

mirror please ?
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Same for me, but I never installed 501 test as I am on a500 I installed wifi fix on my 3.0.1 all the other bugs are fixed except of course the boot fuzzy image, but tested after seeing this post and tried face unlock again, and won't start, was working before I installed wifi fix, which is odd because I figured all it would have is wpa file

EDIT:

Very odd I did the same thing, first wiped caches, reinstalled 3.0.1 update, the Acer ring mod, then wifi fix, in order without reboot and face unlock is working again..

Only other bug except of the boot fuzzy image before animation is every now and then I get this screen flicker followed by messed up jumbled screen, (sort of like the boot bug) it happens rarely, maybe 3 times today, after it flickers and messes up goes back to normal... and do get the sound popping sounds when I type, besides the usual typing sounds it gets cracking pops, these are the only bugs left I found.

I have a couple questions about this rom first off i flashed it and everything worked ok except when it booted up email kept closing and when the tablet went to sleep it would shut off completely and i tried downloading the flash for the acer ring lock but when i booted in to recovery i couldnt find it and it downloaded as index not sure if thats the name for it if someone could shed some light on how to fix my problems that would be great thanx in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
Looks like you got a bad download. I will attach the additional files that you need on top of the 3.0 and 3.0.1 patch that you should flash. Both can be flashed from recovery, make sure all the files you want to flash are in the root directory of your SD card.

Flash in this order:

1. Full 3.0 ROM

2. 3.0.1 Patch

3. WiFi Fix

4. Acer Ring

I have yet to have a SOD issue though there are others with that problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] hatefuel19:
I have finally fixed my Sleep of death. Was getting it on every from I tried including this one.

Using current RA recovery

Wiped data/factory reset

Wiped cache

Wiped dalvik

Wiped system

Flashed 3.0

The difference here is for the first time I tried flashing the zip in the link for the bootloader when coming from original leaked ics found in the op (I never tried this because I never tried the original leak. Came from HC to this rom )

Rebooted and tested several times by locking the screen and letting it time out with no issues.

Went back to recovery and flashed 3.0.1 and Acer shell. On first boot let screen time out and sure enough, sleep of death.

Back to recovery

Wipe menu

Wipe boot

Reflashed boot loader fix mentioned above and fixed.

Hope this helps someone else as this is the first time today I've been able to actually use one of the ics roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] richierich118:
No matter what I do I cannot get acer ring to work after reboot i have to wipe everything, factory reset and install fresh from 3.0 even if I flash just the acershell it will not show up after reboot. Also face unlock does not work at all even with lock screen app set to none.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
After flashing 3.0 then 3.0.1 update and then shell. Go to your Build prop and see the two things are enabled.

Also you could skip the shell flash and just enable it manually after the first two flash, in your build prop.
[Acer Iconia A500] richierich118:
They are both enabled in the build prop.

Hmm I just set the pattern lock screen and after i unlocked my tablet it was back again. Dunno what happend.
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
As far as I know, Acer ring works only with the regular screen lock, the one, where you have to move the cursor to the right. At least, this is the situation with my tab.

Best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] richierich118:
Yes you are right. I was talking about the UI one the green button in the middle. Its back but face unlock still won't start
[Acer Iconia A500] darkdragone:
I cant get the face unlock to work either, I've formated everything, started from scratch 3.0, flashed everything in order, reflashed, wiped ETc Etc... Face Unlock could not start... only other problem i have is the brightness controls dont work, but they havent worked for me ever since I got the iconia
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
^ Sounds to me like the problem is your tablet, as all of those things work fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] darkdragone:
Would the logcat be able to tell me why the face unlock wont start?

Quite probably, yes.

Have an A501. After flashing the A501 fix the facelock works fine but I still have no GPS lock. Hoping this can be fixed. Still playing around but the GPS is a biggie...

Still have no 3g menu either even though others say they do. Will worry about 3g later as the A501 ICS releases come out. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] bog3nator:
would just like to say my device is running super smooth and my battery life is amazing, put the govn on performance
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I don't think it was a "fix", it was more like testing.

Haven't heard of others (501 users) saying they had any GPS. Just brief icon flashes on occasion (several minutes in between). GPS will undoubtedly be a "kernel" issue. As more than likely, with 3g (although I can get it running on a 500 HC rom).

Right now, I know Vache has tried. Most other devs, don't even bother to take a look at it, as the 500 is king, and 501's are like the red headed stepchild. (not to mention they do not have 501's to test it on) So my hat's off to him, and I give him my utmost respect ;)

Sooner or later (4th qtr this year), Acer might release a "leak" for the 501.

Take a look at this;

And sorry, I wrote my reply wrong, there was someone earlier saying after flashing the A501 fix that the facelock stopped working. GPS was an afterthought that I thought I'd mention. Late night\Early morning here in Oz...

Awesome rom in all other aspects and I REALLY appreciate the effort put into this rom by Vache too... Know I was lost about 2 sentences into working on how to unlock the bootloader...
