Huawei 3G

Does new release have Huawei G3 modem support on A500?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
I added it, but since i don't have a 3G USB stick, i can't test.
[Acer Iconia A500] jacobras:
I've seen that weird jumble of colours two times, but I'm still using Taboonay 1.1. Might be a hardware issue, I guess.
[Acer Iconia A500] poita18:
Was just a standard rom before that. Only thing I had done was root, super user, thor kernel. Worked 100% fine.

Might reflash it and see if it makes any difference.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
downloading now. thank you vache :D
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Updated to v2.1 based on last HC3.2 update.

Many things fixed - Changelog in post #2

Edit @qwertylesh : you're fast :p
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
lol yeah I noticed you were updating the posts 30 mins ago and have been hitting F5 repeatedly while running titanium backup so i can do a full wipe ^_^

do you know if its possible if I cook a zip with your kitchen, one with a bootanim, but then replace the bootanimation inside the zip with another, would it flash fine or would it cause problems?

also the lenovo buttons image under theme in your kitchen is broken, I assume you just havent added the picture yet tho ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Il will flash nice because there's no sign check in the recovery.

It can be done safely ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
wonderful thank you :D

the second post fileid for 2.1 changelog download needs to change from 90 to 97 btw

edit:

do you know if superuser is fixed in this build, there was problems in 2.0, lightspeed rom also had the same FC problems with superuser and found a fix.
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Link edited in the changelog.

About SU, i didn't have any FC, and didn't read such issue in the topic.

Let me know if it's append again.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
No problem will let u know :)

it was easy to replicate, just do a soft-reset from taboonay tools or from another utility with taboonay 2.0 and a split second before the reset you'll see a Superuser force close window show up in the center of the screen.

another user confirmed (here) this wasnt just isolated to me and when I saw that lightspeed roms latest update had a superuser fix I was wondering if we'd need it or not.

I'm about to wipe and flash so i'll post back soon :)
[Acer Iconia A500] endariel:
Can flash on top of 2.0? Will i lose apps?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Can I flash a other custom kernel on this 2.1
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
It's better to wipe because there are many new files, but it should be Ok without.

Of course.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
The superuser version is good now!

no more force close when rebooting from apps :D
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Perfect, Thanks for report ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
OK thanks,one question is clear fi in this rom or can i use the kitchen.
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Clear.fi is included in the ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
is there a p4oblem with the download link? I keep getting an interrupted download message. Don't think it's a problem my end as i've downloaded some other stuff tonight.
[Acer Iconia A500] Silver-Virus:
La vache !!!!! Thanks dude !
[Acer Iconia A500] themathers:
Hi, thanks for the rom, I just want to ask if the automatic brightness is working on this rom? I tried other roms and nothing worked, check with Acer support, and they say it works, but I just can't find where do they put the light sensor, also the mic @__@
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
I didn't check, for me it have never worked since i bought the tablet.

The sensor is on the upper screen border, under the rotation lock key. (you can see a little circle).
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
I had this problem and I've fixed it wia the following method:

The thing that worked for me was using a bright light and shining directly into the sensor. That helped. I used some app (Android Tools or something similar) and it reported my sensor as running at 0 LUX (or maybe 1LUX) but a bright light from my cellphone LED set it to 1000 and then it got unstuck and started working correctly (it started reporting LUX).

See if that helps.

Now for my question:

Do we still have to flash a stock rom and then flash the latest version without wipe or can we wipe the tablet and then flash?
[Acer Iconia A500] AndyUM61:
No root Access??

After Update from 2.0 to 2.1 i have no root-access:(!
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
It's not an update, it's a full ROM, so consider to wipe before flashing 2.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] AndyUM61:
That is not so good.:(

I have many Apps...
[Acer Iconia A500] Surian:
Installed 2.1 over 2.0 => no root access

Performed full wipe, installed 2.1 => root access ok, reboot => no root access again
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Use TitaniumBackup or similar to backup your apps and data.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Works fine here, even after a reboot.

Did you restore something after flashing the ROM (app, data..?)
[Acer Iconia A500] Surian:
I just have downloaded my apps from market, setting cpu speed at 1,4Ghz with setCPU and rebooted
[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
I'm moving from 3.1 and want to make sure this is mostly stable. Also as long as I do a full wipe I will not lose root access right.

Thanks for the hard work vache
[Acer Iconia A500] AndyUM61:
No root :((!

After CWM-Restore has my V2.0 no root:((!

I cannot re-root my Iconia:((
[Acer Iconia A500] sonkey:
I am getting the same thing, After full wipe installed everything OK was rooted, I reb0ot and bam.... Superuser root denied.

I dont know how to fix this?

Any Ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] themathers:
Yea, I see it now, it's really hard to see LOL

Yup, it worked but I "lose" that after turn off the screen, repeat the steps and I gain it again LOL :)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
+1 same story here.

Did full wipe and all , reboot and root doesn't work anymore.

SHAME i really liked the rom ,

Other point , the cpu frequencies in tabotool is set for Vilain 3.4 but not for THOR 3.4 , that one uses diffirend clock settings. So it would be nice to be able to adjust the clock settings or to dissable that function.

You didn't take a NANDROID backup with CWM ? I did and did a full restore of my other HC3.2 with root and it works again.

Taboonay 2.1 is a no-GO for me with this root problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] themathers:
hey vache, I typed AT^U2DIAG=0 and it returned ERROR, that means my 3G USB is not the right one for tablet using, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] t-dkp:
Did you notice the small H or the name of your FAI from below.

for me for now everything works 3G, Wifi, ..... :p

Look

Tk's Vache
[Acer Iconia A500] raphoun:
Can you play youtube video in Chrome Lite and Taboonay 2.1? For me the browser crash before starting the video.
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Displayed frequencies in the app are here only for reference. You can use the Thor ones.

@all who have root issue : What did you do exactly after flashing the ROM ?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Ok thanks .

For root problem ,

Edit I installed lumiread with tabootool and my apps were updated by market link to my google account that's it.

After reboot no root.

I did full wipe , data , cache dalvik etc...
[Acer Iconia A500] loermansa:
I installed lumiread as an update with your online kitchen (in CWM). After restarting root requests were denied.
[Acer Iconia A500] raphoun:
I can't be root after a reboot too!
[Acer Iconia A500] AndyUM61:
My procedure:

- CWM Full Backup from v2.0

- install Zip from SD v2.1

- wipe Cache

- wipe Dalvin-Cache

- reboot device

after this no root access:(
[Acer Iconia A500] sonkey:
Almost same as above,

Wipe Data everything

Wipe cache

Wipe Dalvik

Install Rom

Installed Differnt boot ai

Installed Netflix patch

Titanium apps

Reboot= No Root
[Acer Iconia A500] Surian:
I have retried one time, with no success. This time, I only performed a full wipe (+ wipe dalvik cache and battery stats) and flashed Taboonay 2.1. After the first launch (root access was ok, tested with TabooTools app), i directly rebooted. After reboot, root request failed on TabooTools app.
[Acer Iconia A500] Seamonkey79:
I seem to have lost Superuser on my install. Attempting to fix permissions in CWR, if that doesn't work I'll mess around a little... Superuser itself cannot get root access, it seems.

I did an install without wipe, so if fixing permissions doesn't work then I'll probably do a clean install unless someone has another idea.

edit: I mean I seem to have lost root.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yep flashed again , full wipe data cashe dalvic etc..

Reboot = lose root , even su cannot get root acces anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
This works for me. Go here and get the 3.0 beta of super user.

http://androidsu.com/3-0-beta/

Go into recovery and flash. If you get an error at the end, it's ok, you just have to unzip the file after you reboot and install the apk in the system folder of the zip.

Also good idea to go to settings in superuser and scroll down to the bottom and check for updates.

Have had problems trying other 3.2 roms and this is how I fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] sonkey:
I tried again full wipe and fresh install.

I think I'm going back to 2.0 until a proper fix is found

Still thanks for all your work
[Acer Iconia A500] AndyUM61:
@ziggy34:

Perfekt!!

It works:))!!

Thanks...
[Acer Iconia A500] brooketjt:
Can I just replace the Superuser.apk in "Taboonay-2.1_full.zip\system\app" before flashing the ROM, with the Superuser.apk in "su-3.0-beta4-efgh-signed.zip\system\app" without problems?
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
no idea, you can try. personally, you are going to.only flash it once, why bother with all the extra work. I just flash the rom, flash the 3.0 beta superuser, and reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] miguelfp1:
tried it and didn't work for me, tried both flashing from recovery and manually unzipping and pushing the files

updating via Superuser app results in a FAIL error when trying to obtain root access... :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks ziggy34 but it didn't work out for me !!!!

EDIT:

It didn't work , after a few reboots the root is lost again , installed games from kitchen , installed Thor3.4 kernel ,rebooted and no more root.
[Acer Iconia A500] raphoun:
In recovery mode:

Flash rom with Taboonay-2.1_full.zip

Flash su with su-3.0-beta4-efgh-signed.zip

REBOOT

Install the apk su-3.0-beta4-efgh-signed.zip\system\app\Superuser.apk that you previously extract from the archive, reboot and you still have root access! :)

PS: THANKS ziggy34 ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Seamonkey79:
Update: Doesn't seem to be a superuser issue so much as a complete loss of Root? I went ahead and restored back to my previous, I'll deal with it later since I need the tablet this evening in a functional manner :-) I made a backup to see if I can wrestle root back from wherever it went, but I'm not holding much hope out at this point.
[Acer Iconia A500] AndyUM61:
I have make an clean install 2.1..

No WLAN:(!

Scan...Scan...Scan...

All my other devices are connected with my WLAN.
[Acer Iconia A500] jacobras:
Just wiped my a500 and installed Taboonay 2.1 (came from 1.1), looks great!

One small, but annoying bug I'm experiencing: when I go to the App Drawer, the first scroll is smooth as it should be, but the second and following scrolls lag a bit. Happens every time I go to the App Drawer: first scroll is smooth, then it starts to lag.

Just wiped, installed 2.1 and restored all my apps using Titanium. Already tried rebooting, didn't help.
[Acer Iconia A500] digetx:
seems it's problem of all 3.2 roms
[Acer Iconia A500] gus2020i:
Thanx for all!!!

Great job, nice and more quickly for me

No wipes and all run

why not include FILE MANAGER HD instead of es file manager? it's better and free!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm.hd
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
I use it and love it, but I would rather get it from the market so I get updates
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
I wasn't losing root access performing soft reboots from taboonay tools, but now I did a full power off and have got the loss of root access too.
[Acer Iconia A500] superbar:
yeah got that bug too, i used two different 3.2 roms and still app drawer lags when scrolling
[Acer Iconia A500] christianpeso:
Has anybody NOT had the issue of losing root? Trying to find out if its just a few people, or if its the rom thats the issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
its the rom at present.

it works fine the first time then after a power cycle/full reboot theres no root access.

root check says that SU is misconfigured and cannot find the SU binaries :\

flashing the beta does nothing without flashing the taboonay 2.1 first, and root only lasts one session.
[Acer Iconia A500] brooketjt:
So installing the su beta apk after flashing taboonay 2.1 and flashing the su beta zip does not resolve the issue of losing root?
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
ill give it a try right now and confirm if it works or not, i have the two zips and su apk on my card.

gimme a couple of minutes :)

doing a wipe then taboonay 2.1 then su beta zip then apk, then power off, then i'll verify.

edit:

ok, i've wiped and applied the two zips, I got that error message ziggy mentioned applying the second zip, and now im just doing first time setup now and going to apply the apk while this first session has root.

enabled unknown app sources, applied the apk.

it worked

im runnning root check now after powering it off and back on again and its working perfect. :) woo
[Acer Iconia A500] Seamonkey79:
I've tried about every combination I can come up with and I still lose root. Superuser seems to be installed and running fine, but it doesn't have access to root, so it's a worthless app at that point. I've tried a clean install, worked until full power down, one time in three after that I could flash the beta and boot with SU, but I'd lose it on a power down and up cycle.

On top of all of that, I seem to have lost root on my backup of 2.0 that everything was working fine on :-) so I'm really in a mess now... I really hope I don't have to go back to wiping it, because I haven't had a chance to backup my apps, which I can't do without root... irony.
[Acer Iconia A500] christianpeso:
Cool. Thanks! Waiting on your findings. This is very interesting. This rom looks so good and I wanna try it. But dont want to lose root.
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
so far its working i didnt lose root after powering off.

ill power off and hot restart a few times. but its looking like ol' ziggzy has done it :D

edit: second power cycle and still have root access.

wipe, apply tab 2.1, apply su 3 beta zip, first time setup, unknown sources, extracted su.apk works!! ^_^

remember to thank spam ziggy
[Acer Iconia A500] miguelfp1:
I still haven't been able to get it working, tried every combination of wipe, flash, restore and re-flash imaginable :(
[Acer Iconia A500] liu2002:
I don't know whether my way is useful to you or not.

I flash the rom, reboot fail to get the root. Then re-flash the rom and flash beta4 superuser as they given. Also fail after reboot.

Then I think why I flash the HoneyVillain rom but never lose root. It is also a HC3.2 rom. So I decide to mod the beta4 superuser zip file. I replace the both su and superuser.apk with the same files extracted from HoneyVillain rom and signed it. I fully wipe and re-install the rom and flash the su_mod.zip that I made and wait it ran. Ok! went into system and It got the root, then power down and started it again. Cool! still got the root. Tested by root explorer and terminal(command :su root).

Modified superuser, use cwm to install and must re-flash the rom or you will fail.

View attachment su_mod.zip
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
well... I just lost it some how >_>

ffs

I had powered on and off twice with no loss of root access. did my titanium restore, powered off and on again and lost root. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
no root here, lost it in rom flash, also tried the fix in the other thread, no go
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
I re wiped mine and applied ziggys work around.

Im going to use it for a while to see if it loses root after a few power off/ons then if im satisfied it doesnt lose root on my own i'll restore my backup in sections to try to figure out if something from that is breaking root instead.

liu let us know if root lasts after you've re-set up your tab and powered off and on a couple of times. cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] christianpeso:
Don't know what time it is where Vache is, but its midnight here. Hopefully he can get to the bottom of this and re-release the rom with it fixed. Waiting anxiously. Will check back in the morning. Thank u all for the help and info and Vache for the rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] miguelfp1:
well, I'm pretty sure Vache is in France, so it's early morning there (either 0730 or 0830 right now), and he's probably well aware of the issue...

as for me, I've already tried all of the ideas thrown around, so there's nothing left but to wait for a fix
[Acer Iconia A500] dmatusek76:
Just checked this rom and i have NO ISSUE.

Everythink working good. Did 5 reboots, root stil there.

Before install i did full wipe and system format.

But i moddify ROM zip file. I have A500 so dont need to check if i have A500 or A501.

I removed those scripts and A501 folder and copy proper build.prop to system.

Also removed lenovo apps and tabootools.

No issue with superuser.

And usb 3g working too. (E1550)
[Acer Iconia A500] DreamerTM:
Taboonay 2.1, A501 can not find WiFi Channel 12-13. With 11 channels no problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Er_Garry:
Today I've installed the Rom and the system goes so smooth, better than the original, but I've stll have the problem that the Wifi randomly disconnect, so browsing is a hard way XD

There is any solution for this?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] proxonic:
I tried yesterday Taboonay 2.1 and HoneyVillian 1.2.

I don't know what is the reason but there is even nothing to compare.

Taboonay on my Iconia is even slower than Stock ROM with 3.0 - and even if overclocked to 1400 !!!

HoneyVillian just works awesome.

Before both flashes - wiped everything so there should not be such a difference.

No idea - because as i see Taboonay is pretty popular and no one else is saying that it is so incredible slow. But on my Iconia it is. Even scrolling the home screens looks creepy - slow and like the tablet would work with 300 Mhz.

What i really like in Taboonay - configuration directly after flash - there is done it in proper way - first WiFi then google account, corrected exchange FC issue (with big mails i think) and some other small things better than HV.

But for some reason it just work incredibly slow on my Iconia.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

I've tested already if the tweaks from build.prop are the cause - but no - HV with those tweaks works even better.
[Acer Iconia A500] smegg:
taboonay slooooowed down

+1 to above, this rom has gotten slower every version since the excellent and unrivalled 1.1 version. 2.0 has some lag but is usable but 2.1 is just awful and stuttery. Back to 1.1 for me!
[Acer Iconia A500] caff2002:
I've fixed this using a static IP...

No disconnections since then

regards

Thanks for this great rom, A501 it works great with wifi/3G
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
same here, im out of ideas. Im sure vache can fix it, his a501 based taboonay 2.0 which is also 3.2 was ok so this should be something that can be fixed up, we probably need to go back to an older SU.

I'll wait for a fix tho. ziggys workaround works if you plan on installing nothing afterward :p I sorta need to restore my launcher layout and apps so I'll wait. :o
[Acer Iconia A500] xanlexian:
Add me to the list of folks with the root issue. Live Logcat (boot animation) can't install due to "incompatable ROM" and VERY frequent browser/DocsToGo/Polaris Office crashes.

I've tried about all possible combos to install 2.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
I have no idea what's wrong. Install and reinstall the ROM again and again, can't have the same issue on mine.

About slow down, since the ROM is now using Villain Kernel from richartrip, be sure to keep ondemand governor, and interactive if you flashed thor kernel.

[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
so is this loosing root access a user error or the rom. Lol because i'm hesitant to flash from 2.0 :)
[Acer Iconia A500] miguelfp1:
Doesn't look like it, I flashed just like any other time and lost root; also tried formatting /system before flashing, flashing SU 3.0 beta after the ROM and even tried the older SU version after the ROM with no luck...
[Acer Iconia A500] tatuk:
Same here.

Waiting for vache back...:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
As i said, i have no idea what's wrong. It works for some ppl, not for others...Quite strange.

smaury had same issue on his ROM, i sended him a PM to see if he can help.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Maybe this helps , I use this rom " Acer_A500 OTA 7.006.01 [HC 3.2] Rooted w/ Busybox for CWM" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1265847 and the ROOT and superuser in it work just fine , it's super user v2.3.6.3 datbase version5 https://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser/blob/gh-pages/manifest.js

quote from ezterry :

In the case of su/superuser I just pulled from the official zip on rom manager provided by ChainsDD (links at https://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuse...es/manifest.js ) and placed them into system making sure to add the suid perm on su in the updater-script. This however will not allow adb shell as root or prevent clockwork recovery from being over written.

With this Rom I tried vilain 3.4 and Thor 3.4 Kernel and no problems.
