Of course there's always danger involved, so you have to be careful. I'm using my tab at 1,2 GHz, I personally wouldn't go higher than 1,4. But if you search the forum there are users that run stable at 1,6GHz :).
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
what are you talking about... you must be one of the paranoid types.... there's no danger OC... worse thing it could happen is that the tab reboots....

Port AcerMedia to the ROM?

Vache, could you port the app "AcerMedia" from A500 3.2 stock ROM? I've tried it and it's pretty good especially the interface is nice ;) Or is there anyway I could do it myself? thanks in advance

Hi

I have the same problen since Friday and the only way to work was adjut a static IP addres, but if I try to use DHCP as usual it doesn't works.

Some body nows solution for this

Thanks in advanced
[Acer Iconia A500] ag69:
Thanks vache great rom.

After installing this update SetCPU seems to be working again, not completely tought. As a matter of fact it does not get su permission at boot, therefore after boot I have to reapply all the settings manually. This happens even with other apps that require root at boot like Drive Mont or SD speed boost. Do you think a wipe and new install will solve this ?

Its related to an issue with unlimited dhcp leases and android. (been a problem an aosp gingerbread roms as well) The simple fix is to reconfigure your router to give 24h or 7day leases. Infinate dhcp leases are not really common, thus why this test case is missed by many.. I only have one now for testing this and used a feature of dnsmasq to only apply it to the tab.

I patched this with an update for my rooted version of the 2.3 ota the post will provide some info:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17815858&postcount=90

The download zip will *not* work with this rom, but you ought to be able to apply the smali patch:

(or ask vache nicely to take a look)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Not happening here , with the su patch everything works , no more root problems.

EDIT:

I did some testing and I like this ROM but my cfbench score is about a 1000 , overall points lower then with stock 3.2 rooted rom (same kernel and same clocks)especially the JAVA score is down with this rom.

And the acer recovery app doesn't detect what recovery img is installed after a few reboots.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
True, in 90% of the cases. But consistant overclocking can lead to premature failure of the cpu. Otherwise known as heat stress.

Granted, you can OC your cpu to say 1.2-1.4, and be assured your cpu will live to the life of say a couple of years. Given the fact most people will upgrade their device after 1 - 1.5 years, we will never know.

Heat kills processors. This is well known since overclocking 486's and celery's in the old days. Too much heat, and you'll cook your processor.

If in doubt, oc to 1.5, run a video, and I'll bet it takes 30 seconds to find the exact location where your processor is located.

At best, your tab will just reboot. At best...... At worst, if you were installing an app that requires root, or a complicated sys app, you might find yourself in bootloop hell.

And who wants to run at 1.6, if the device reboots every 3 or 4 minutes.
[Acer Iconia A500] pimpmaneaton:
So is the 2.1b update suppose to fix the apps getting denied su permission at start up. I have reflashed the rom and update but still get system tuner denied along with drive mount.

[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
ah, just found a bug (or feature) in 2.1.

when you insert the head-set (headphones), the sound still plays on the ext built-in speakers and headphones.

i used my tab to watch movies on public transport and its causing inconvenient to others.

any fix / solution?

thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] margosmark:
I can not seem to be able to connect my tablet to the computer so I can perform file transfers... anyone else have this issue with 2.1b?
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
this is a bug which exists in almost all of our tabs, on almost any rom you'll encounter this.

I have a small yet mildly inconvenient workaround. start playing a song on the speakers then insert the jack, listen for the sound to stop on the speakers and the output is correctly going to the headphones.

I use my tab for music games and movies on public transport too. I was a bit miffed when I noticed the output problem at first but this above trick should prevent it from happening for you :)

another person in the thread mentioned that they had an ES A500 model of some sort (rebranded as a gateway tab) and that this tab never suffered this problem. I believe it may be that we have a newer revision audio controller or something and the OS audio stack is for the older revision.
[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
i don't remember having this problem in ver 2.0

tried the work-around, did not work for me. however, if i insert the headset, restart the tab and its all good... guess that's my work around for the time being.

[Acer Iconia A500] pimpmaneaton:
I believe I have fixed my problem with su permissions.

1st I tried to run gingerbreak 1.2 and it just hung at attempting exploit.

2nd I installed Superuser Update fixer from market and did a force fix but that app force closes. But I then had the older version of superuser I believe cause I now had the black icon with skull and cross bones. When attempting to open superuser I get a force close so I cleared it's data and opens normally. Then went back into all my apps that need root access and re granted. Adjusted speed and voltage in system tuner and rebooted. All settings have held. I no longer get denied messages and through about 6 reboots now my settings have stayed in system tuner.

Edit. Also am now using setcpu and through 5 reboots settings stick.

Sent from my Iconia Rocking Taboonay 2.1b!
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
If you re-configured your router w/o indefinite leases, and then cleared dhcp this probably will work.. (deleting that file mostly just forces a renewal)

There may also be a bug with long leases.. but its hard to tell without the actual java code to see if that one has been corrected.

[Acer Iconia A500] GamezR2EZ:
You need to flash ClockWorkMod (CWM) first. You cannot flash custom roms with the stock recovery tool.
[Acer Iconia A500] pimpmaneaton:
So I pulled the older Superuser.apk that was installed earlier and added to toboonay2.1 and also included the 2.1b fixes. I have done a fresh install and did a full setup. I have gotten no force closes and all apps that request su permission get allowed just fine. Have used setcpu and changed clock speed up to 1.4ghz along with a screen off profile and changed voltage. Have been using a reboot app called quick reboot from market and have done 6 reboots so far and have not been denied su permissions yet and setting in Setcpu have stayed.
[Acer Iconia A500] Besieged:
I've rooted and installed CWM. When i choose to "install zip from sdcard" i am still given the wireframe image of the android mascot with a caution/! sign in the middle.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
If you're using CWM to update, you will never see the Android wireframe during the entire process. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] GamezR2EZ:
If you still have the error when you are actually applying the update you may have either a bad image or you have a zip that needs to be extracted.

The extracted zip may look like

update.zip
/update.zip
/README

If you get another zip inside of the main one rename THAT zip update.zip.

If it looks like this when extract

update.zip
/system/
/boot.img
/flexrom.img
ect

You probably have a bad image

Can anyone help me here, Having a weird problem.

My a500 was on 3.2 so i downgraded it to 3.0.1 then installed taboonay 2.1, after which I was trying to get my usb 3g device to work.

Basically i think the problem is that it's identifying it as model a501 instead of a500 because of the trick i needed to do to downgrade it.

Any idea if that's the problem and if so how to fix it and if not what could be causing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] GamezR2EZ:
That sounds like a likely reason. Try flashing one of these (and full version, ~300mb, will do). Then flash back to Taboonay.

I believe this ROM parses on install what version it is (a500,a501). It could be getting confused. Flashing a stock ROM fist should fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Thor:
Thanks for the help, Going to flash this one Acer_A500_4.010.41_COM_GEN1.zip will reply back and let you know how it goes.

Do i just use cwm to flash or something else.

This ROM is just awesome work. Installed in a shot on my new AT&T Iconia a501 and immediately configured and picked up the mobile networks and everything.

One question though (and I don't know if this is AT&T specific or what): I can't get the 4g speeds out of it. It almost seems that it doesn't connect to HSPA+ or something and I wondered if I missed a step or a configuration setting. I tried searching for it but the search function refuses to actually FIND anything.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated and thank you again for the hard work on this ROM!!!

mburke,

Thanks for the response. I just got the piece a couple of days ago and i was getting download speeds around 8000kbps and the icon at the bottom showed H+ next to it. Now I'm getting around 3500kbps with the ROM and no H+ logo at the bottom. I'm pretty sure the SIM was configured for it. I am just wondering if the configuration needs altering or the driver or what.

When I upgraded to 2.0 I didn't do a factory reset or clear any cache, the rom works great and everything was exactly how I left it before the upgrade. I just installed from zip in CWM. Is there any reason to believe that wouldn't work when updating to 2.1?

Specifically, would it be ok to skip the factory/data reset and wipe dalvik cache?

I don't know if you caught this but I just conferred with a friend of mine using the exact same a501 AT&T model and he is using version 2.0 of this ROM and he is accessing the 4g network (with the H+ logo) at the bottom. I am using version 2.1 and it's not getting access to 4g, just the original 3G network. Do you know of any changes that might have been made between 2.0 and 2.1 that could make this the case?

I appreciate all of your hard work. Thank you so much for assistance as well.

Thanks,

[Acer Iconia A500] GamezR2EZ:
I dont mean to take you for being thick, but are you in an area serviced by AT&T's "4G" service. (I quote 4G because all 4g is a lie currently)
[Acer Iconia A500] jonnyp4l:
LOL I'll put it to you thusly: I'm in an area that supports 4g as much as AT&T actually does. And I take no offense, naturally.

As I mentioned in my original posting, the original ROM connected to the point of displaying the H+ logo in the bottom corner and getting around 8000kpbs download speeds. Taboonay 2.1 is not registering H+ and is downloading somewhere in the 3700kbps region (around what my old 3g phone got).

I didn't know if there were any build options or if any of the changes to support 3g usb dongles could have caused it to not register the same HSPA+ speeds.

1. Such as...? I have the 500 as well but the fact that vache makes the rom work with both models is a nice touch for 501 owners. he included tabootools to fix any issues as a result, so what's the problem?

2. What kernel are you using? try thor2002's kernel from tegraowners.com. I connect to my phones wifi, home, work and school no problem (all different security and settings). Actually wifi now works a lot better than 2.0, no disconnects!! btw I didn't wipe either.

3. Open tabootools app (included with rom), scroll down to wifi/3g and make sure wifi only is checked, then restart.
[Acer Iconia A500] hroberts89436:
1, because of the device constantly looking for a sim card for instant.

2, im running the kernal that comes with 2.1 which one of thors kernel do you recommend?

[Acer Iconia A500] GamezR2EZ:
Try this,

Open a terminal with adb (or a terminal from the market)

get root by typing su

You will have a # instead of a $

Not type the following commands

mount -o rw,remount /system
echo "ro.carrier=wifi-only" >> /system/build.prop
mount -o ro,remount /system
reboot

See if that stops the problem.

Word of caution. Those commands will work, but do be careful, you could screw things up. You have been warned.
