Is the problem with wifi as reported in this thread solvable by the various custom roms (HC 3.1) ??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138905

or do we have to live with it until Acer fix it with a patch ?

Acer is a joke... our XDA's DEVs is much more talented ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I didn't get any wifi problem since I am running Taboonay.

only the GPS but I know it's not a problem from ROM it's about location also

I am in thailand, and get a fix there is very hard for the tablet, when my phone lockup in less than 6s
[Acer Iconia A500] enzoup:
hi

you can solve the problem otherwise,

just delete dhcpd-wlan0.lease under /data/misc/dhcp

like statet in the link you wrote in your post.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Google is a joke as well isn't it?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Updated to v1.0.2 :
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Oh you are great, really

- Asus Weather Widget (I figured out, but it's so good to have it directly from your rom)

- Little suprise in Live Wallpaper so cute (water with ice cube)

Did someone know an application who show the CPU speed, temp, in status bar ?

I put the latest Thor kernel on Honey Villain and now Cell Standby is back. It wasn't there with Thor beta 3. I don't think it's in the Acer 3.1 stock either. Is it there on here with beta 4?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Could you be more explicit on "Cell Standby is back" ?
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
what does this have related to taboonay?????:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
The stock does not have the CELL STANDBY it's a fact

but honestly... do you think that eat that much battery a thread running rather than having the HARDWARE plugin really ?

I think it's just a HYPE HOAX this cell standby saving battery stuff...
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
It's appearing in the battery usage apps list in Thors 1.1 beta 4 kernel.

I was wondering if Cell Standby was appearing in the battery usage apps on this rom since it's using the same kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
I dunno, the battery life did seem better without it. It could be placebo, but I dunno. I mean the battery meter says that it is using a large portion of the battery, is it lying?
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
The process is called every 10s

that mean 360 times in an hour...

I don't know how much consume on CPU that calling, but let say not over than 0.01 mA per call

that mean 3.6mA per hour....

the battery got thousands of mA guess how much we get more...

so far the Compass use 7.8mA (if I am not wrong) arround...so

Placebo or not ?

for sure the A501 will got less autonomy than the A500
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Well when it's on it always says that it has used the majority of my battery. If it's using anything at all it's probably better not to have it on.
[Acer Iconia A500] :

I'm using Taboonay but my Market hasn't updated to Google Play?

It's Rom dependent or not?
[Acer Iconia A500] cfymobile:
Not ROM dependent. My tablet had Market updated to Play with no issues.

You reboot to see what happens?
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Facelock not working, any fixes for that, On Taboonay 3.0.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
What are you talking about? Stock speed for the A500 is 1Ghz, not 1.2, and always has been. Anything more than that is an overclock.
[Acer Iconia A500] ms893:
I have reinstalled all (after full wipe : 3.0, 3.01, wifi patch, sod patch, and then gapps, I didn't installed the isc bootloader patch this time), and everythin is working fine (no more problem with the screen during boot, or using chrome beta)...

For me Google play installed automatically after several days, no need to do something...

It would be great if we add some tweak options (like reboot in the power off menu, custom the notification bar,...). This exist for example in the AOKP ROM (as it's an open source, may be Vache can use these tweaks ?
[Acer Iconia A500] xrodeocowboy:
love the rom

Good rom.... used the last version. I was messing around though and deleted the Asus .mail widget and don't want to really flash.. any idea how to get it...
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Anyone having market issues with this from today , keeps giving me errors when trying to purchase apps
[Acer Iconia A500] loekis:
Yep - same on my A500 and on my HD2 (obviously a problem in checkout process, free apps installing seemless). Both having google playstore installed. But you can buy apps using your browser accessing the webpage, at least that works for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gabbelebab:
I encounter exactly the same as described by loekis. Free stuff works fine, through the browser fine, but not the paid ones through Playstore.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Ill have to do that, I looked in the system/app to try and remove vending or market but none was there

What browser are you using? Flash is working in the stock browser. I believe there is an issue with flash in Chrome Beta. Not sure of the other browsers (Dolphin, Firefox, etc...)
[Acer Iconia A500] citsong:

[Acer Iconia A500] ercliou:
Just flashed 3.0 and bootloader (yup.. wiped everything)

Stucked on acer's boot screen :\

EDIT: Solved.. hehe.. should't have flashed the bootloader zip, I thought it wouldn't cause any problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
I knew it was something along those lines..
[Acer Iconia A500] Andy991:
hi friends...good rom for stability and battery saving...i have only one problem....often,when my acer iconia go to in standby it also go to power off!

i try to reset data e chance ecc and reflashed the rom but the problem persist..

thanks for all ours answers!
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
You clearly haven't been reading the ICS threads, or attempted to find the solution yourself. This is the SOD issue, which is common and is fixed. The answers are in here, but I'm not holding your hand to find it. The search button is at the top of your screen.

help

whenever i take a screenshot the image appear...the image also appear during boot....is it only me or its a known bug/problem with this rom?

i took the screenshot while my tab in landscape mode and the picture appear in potrait mode.
[Acer Iconia A500] femmyade2001:
I know there is a kernel issue that causes that image to show up at boot, but screenshots work just fine for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] nfizree:
how do u take a screenshot? im using screenshot it from the market.
[Acer Iconia A500] kylec:
hold volume down and power together :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] nfizree:
ok...i did that and ended up my tab suddenly turn off. i come from thor rom before. is there anything i need to do beside full wipe-wipe dalvik-wipe cache-install??

[Acer Iconia A500] elboby:
@vache when we will receive another update for Taboonay?
[Acer Iconia A500] loekis:
UPDATE: I switched to Flexreaper 9 and therefore had to wipe everything - guess what, playstore fully functional again (even after restoring app data and settings with TB). Next I did a factory reset on my hd2 running langthang's miui v48 - playstore just working fine. I restored only data thru CWM and here we go again, no purchase possible in playstore. So in my opinion definetly nothing wrong in any rom, just corrupted data that occurred at the same time on both of my androids after updating market to playstore.

Anyway, I restored full rom on my phone, I'll fix that later - as it looks I'll have to move to another rom for my phone... Cooker's got problems with his phone:(
[Acer Iconia A500] femmyade2001:
yeah i actually use screenshot it also, and it works fine. I didnt know about the volume down + power trick. Will def try that. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
I think this is a flash/ICS issue, not an issue with this rom.

The scenario for me seems to be with sites that have a java player that plays the flash, if flash not installed.

Example: Go to site click on video, get spinning wheel, no video. Uninstall Flash Player, go back to site video works fine. Go to Adobe site and run flash test. Flash not installed. Load Flash Player, test works, video on other site does not.

The reason I think it is a Flash/ICS issue, is that my phone also running a 4.0.3 leak has the same issues with the same sites.
[Acer Iconia A500] nfizree:
hmm then i think its me only....i'll reinstall and wipe my flexrom too
[Acer Iconia A500] solar_burn:
Anyone getting sleep of death?
[Acer Iconia A500] solar_burn:
Definitely getting sleep of death, 3 times in the last hour.

Anyone else?

Bad room download?

Bad wipe?

Is there a tweak i missed?
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
Did you do a complete wipe before flashing? Did you flash the WiFi fix? The wifi fix will also fix the SOD issue. I haven't had it once, however..
[Acer Iconia A500] kylec:
did you flash the sod-fix.zip?

Also, after a sod, turn the tablet back on as you normally would, then shut it down normally using the power menu, then boot up again.

Strangely this solves the sod for me for much much longer peiords. I use to get them almost each time tablet went to sleep, now I rarely get them
[Acer Iconia A500] solar_burn:
Didn't flash wifi fix. Is this only for this ROM or for the device in general?
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
I believe it's for this rom specifically
[Acer Iconia A500] drharisis:
Does gps fix work with these rom????
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Hey Vache, just wondering... Do you have any plans to update this ROM to the latest Acer leak?

Working CIFS

With the help from Vache, I was able to compile md4.ko which is required for the CIFS module to work properly.

Here is the link to all kernel modules including md4.ko and cifs.ko

http://fileshost.fr.mu/download/121/Modules_ICS_kernel.zip.html

You will need to load the md4.ko manually like this:

#!/system/bin/sh
insmod /system/lib/modules/md4.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
[Acer Iconia A500] drharisis:
I noticed with this rom that screen instead of going to standby when i just pust push the power button it powers off the phone....not a similar problem with stock rom...Any suggestion???

Thank you so jakubklos & vache, cifs works perfect now.
[Acer Iconia A500] z-control:
on which folder must this script be ?
[Acer Iconia A500] smaury:
../system/etc/init.d Just create a file without .* you can call it 04modules and on boot it will load that modules! (maybe a similar file is yet in that directory, so just edit it!)
[Acer Iconia A500] z-control:
ok, thanks

What I have to do for not going screen into death and always having to rebooting???
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
Since the devs fixed the boot issues, I've not had one SOD from either of the ICS ROM's in this forum and I've tried each o fthem for a few days each. If anything, I would've seen a SOD during this.

Why don't you try formatting system + data + cache + flexrom then flashing from scratch again.

Just sayin....
[Acer Iconia A500] johnny8910:
SOD

No probs for me also :-)

I would agree that a reflash and wipe could fix these issues.

Bad form to bump oneself, but I would kinda like to know... Otherwise I'll just jump to one of the other ROMs...

sod-fix.zip?

Where can I find the SOD-Fix.zip? Looked but no luck.

I have wiped /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache and /flexrom. Installed ROM and then wifi fix. Get SOD repeatedly.

Am I doing something wrong?

Running CWM 5. Came from pre-rooted stock 3.2.1 to this ROM.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] jakubklos:
It does not matter. You can load it even manually from your terminal. I put it to /system/lib/modules and have it loaded with Tasker and the Locale Execute plugin as:

su -c 'sh /system/lib/modules'

on device boot.
[Acer Iconia A500] chasmanian:
All of my SOD issues were related to Google maps and Streetview. I was having constant SODs (4 and 5 per day) no matter which ROM and no matter rooted or not. I uninstalled Maps and Streetview and it has been weeks since my last SOD.

This error occured on both my androids after updating to playstore. Only way to solve it was wiping data (what i did when switching from taboonay to flexreaper). On my hd2 same problem, same solution (fresh install and a restore of everything but market/playstore).

Updating R9 to R10 was no problem, but i kept my data (restored after flashing r10).

[Acer Iconia A500] loekis:
Hope Acer does.... until final release. Remember, you're running a leaked rom, may be release candidate, may be beta. And by the way.... you're not the first to ask on xda. It's standard in all leak-based ics-roms, just ignore it for now.

i love the taboonay 3.0.1 for sometime now

must say its simply fantastic!

recently i have bought creative D200 bluetooth speakers.

i was trying to pair and stream music to them.

i am getting connected fine but no sound coming out from the speakers.:confused::confused::confused::confused:

i have tried using these speakers with my gingerbread phone and my wife's honeycomb a500 tablet they all stream fine and speakers play well

please help me suggest a fix for it:confused::confused:

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Easy.. You read the thread, thoroughly and completely. Then, once you're POSITIVE you understand what you're doing, follow the instructions in the OP precisely, without skipping any steps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Papaniz:
Love this thanks so much. One problem I'm having is sometimes when typing with the keyboard and the sound is on from typing (The ticks as you type don't know what that's called :p), the speakers give a weird sound out. Like little "pops". It happens after I finish typing sometimes. Is this a known problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] Erik_T:
yes
[Acer Iconia A500] ignitros:
I just have a question for everyone. I just installed and everything seems okay so far but when I power on the tab I get this weird multicolored screen just before the bubbles and boot screen. Is this normal?
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
this sucks, been gone for a month, and still no updates, I figured since vache got so many people donating he would be able to keep his tablet and continue updating this rom, after so many people donating in hopes that he would do so..., I guess he won't be updating this anymore, and this is now unsupported.
[Acer Iconia A500] Athrun88:
Please read.. this is already a known issue and doesn't affect the functionality of the device in any way shape or form.

So much energy could be saved if people just used their reading skills =/
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
I also get these intense random screen flickers / glitches, and goes black for a few seconds, seems to just happen when I'm surfing the web in stock browser.

I read the donations did end up saving you vache I'm glad, I hope we get a new update soon, just seeing a lot of updates from other devs but no build updates from new leaks ect.. for taboonay.
[Acer Iconia A500] paugustin:
Hi,

Vache said the community helped him keep his tablet indeed. Appart from the money issue he needed to concentrate on his work/personal life. He took a little time off the forum but he'll be back.

He also felt that there were too few changes between the different leaks to justify an urgent update.

Don't worry Vache will update the ROM, though he might wait for another version to come out before.
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
@lifecoding: You shouldn't be so demanding. Just leave it to vache. The two newer leaks don't provide much of a difference. They have a new kernel providing better autofocus for the camera, but also are slower than the previous kernel.

Best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
I never demanded anything in either if my posts, just expressed disappointment, and second post was saying I was happy the donations saved him, and I "hope" for updates soon.

Also didn't realize there was not much change between the new leaks, I'm sure when he comes out with something it will be worth it, and of good quality, vache does not rush updates I have seen, he take the time to make sure there good quality, and worth updating.

Sometimes that helps.

[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
This is an a500 rom, everyone is installing it on a500 I doubt vache has an a100 to test and developed on, so I don't think he will trouble shoot it, since it was made an developed on an a500 tablet. This works perfect on my a500, since it was not made for a100 I think its crazy to ask why it has problems when your installing it on a device it was not made for, though I don't know how similar the tablets our from each other hardware and driver wise, but I'm sure the problem is the device is not what the rom was made for.
[Acer Iconia A500] paugustin:
