very nice rom, only problems I had so far is that when I turned on google instant and type addres, page goes back to google, but I had this on other roms so I assume that its a browser problem.

I noticed occasional pop sound when playing PBA bowling last night. One every few minutes or so. And one a hum sound that lasted a few seconds. It wasnt the vibrator.
[Acer Iconia A500] margosmark:
yeah there is some audio issue. sometimes after using audio (playing somethin with sound) crackling and humming noises can be heard which can be stoped by stating some audio again . somewhat annoying.

EDIT: Also whenever I get an email notification, they are just pops, not the proper sound

If you dont use twitter, then thats your choice for not using it. You can see others twitter without having one. What you miss out on is such betas, etc. If you dont understand this "bootloader talk" i highly suggest you back out of this thread and read the 4 or 5 posts about EXACTLY how to update and WHY to update, they are here, Q&A and faq. Your "stupidity" is pardoned as we all need to learn somewhere, your laziness to not read anything in the Q&A, FAQ, and stickies arent.

Vache, any idea when your gonna officially release. Very interested in a changelog, as I know you ported the A700 Acer UI to this beta. Very nice!

I did read a lot of it, didn't understand all the programmer talk. It is difficult to come in in the middle of a 250+ page thread and try to absorb all of it.

Noticed that Root Explorer and Astro aren't working. Can't mount RW to do deletes. Went back briefly to 3.0.1 and they were fine there.

Email does not retain account. Drops on every sign out.

Battery usage much higher (50%). "Media" is indicated as biggest draw.

[Acer Iconia A500] tennessee_titan:
Heavy battery consumption continues, even on 3.0.1 which had exceptional battery performance before I flashed the ICS bootloader. I guess I will have to go back to the HC bootloader to confirm this..

I guess no one wants to comment on the reported issues???
[Acer Iconia A500] moonbeep:
tennessee_titan -

I'm on the new 4.0.4 beta: (3.2)

Email works fine no account loss what so ever.

Power consumption does seem slightly heavier, but no real noticable difference between 3.0.1 and 3.2.

Haven't installed Root explorer or astro yet. So can't comment.

Did you wipe everything, cache, etc... before your install. Format data?

Not doing that has caused me many hiccup's in the past.

I love the new 3.2 version though. So do my kids.
[Acer Iconia A500] Anolnx:

I have been forced out of Taboonay.

Having no end of trouble since I flashed the ICS bootloader

Tried a complete reflash of Taboonay:

1. 3x wipe of data, cacne, and Dalvik

2. Flash Taboonay 3.0

3. Flash ICS bootloader patch

4. Reboot

5. Flash Taboonay 3.0.1, ICS Bootloader patch

6 Reboot

7. Flash Acer Ring, WiFi Fix and SoD fix

8. Reboot

I am getting Sod like symptom. Freeze at Iconia Tablet / bootloader one line at upper left. Have to turn off and restart constantly.

Using battery like crazy - Main user "Media" about 60%

Taboonay worked fine on HC 3.0.1 before ICS bootloader flash

Presently using civato stock ICS rooted, Works fine, but uses way too much battery. (about 3X what I used on the HC bootloader with any ROM)

How can I get back to the HC bootloader?

if you are currently on OTA ICS, I think you can use AfterOTA tool for flashing HC bootloader,

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] go.george:
Hello everyone! Although not an "official" beta tester of the new ICS rom that Vache announced on his twitter account, I would like to report that I have tested it for more than three weeks and it is very stable, fast and smooth. I also need to mention that I use a different, moded, kernel.

I have also tried a lot of other ICS roms but none as stable as this. So, I am a little bit disappointed that this thread is not as vivid as it used to be, because the new rom could be officially uploaded and tested and discussed by all of us.

IMO, give it a try. It is a little difficult to flash the bootloader but in the previous posts there are links to guides. It is worth the effort.
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
Nice ROM...waiting for OC.
[Acer Iconia A500] dasammy:
I saw a video on youtube where someone tested Taboonay. The Rom seems to be awesome and I would love to flash it to my A501. Great work vache and supporters!

BUT:

Is there still no way getting 3G work? And what about the modded Kernel that was planed for Taboonay? Any progress?

These 2 things included in the Rom and I will donate for sure!

I appriciate the hard work!
[Acer Iconia A500] paugustin:
Taboonay 3.2 final will support 3G both with integrated modem and with a few usb dongle.

So far we have a 3.2 beta but 3G is not fully supported yet.

Bare in mind that Taboonay is a big rework as it is Android 4.0.4 based mostly on leaks from A70x ROM with parts of A51x and A50x ROMs :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Anolnx:
I know... But I have high expectations, seeing how good Vache worked on the previous versions and how good the beta is.
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
If someone want to test the beta :

Base ROM : http://bit.ly/NfKUS2

Custom Kernel for A500 : http://bit.ly/Mf8clv

Custom Kernel for A501 (with working 3G) : http://bit.ly/KMrFxG

Flash kernel after base ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] JacenSolo2001:
Hanging on acer screen, finally figured that it was the bootloader. The instructions I've found have links to tools that are no longer available (blackthund3r ATX flash tool) so I'm stuck at a point where I can't install the new bootloader, so I've went back to the previous version, for the time being.

I appreciate all the hard work, the instructions are a bit intimidating for the bootloader.

Does anyone have a working link to the files for the flash tool?

btw: i'm running Taboonay-3.0d, not sure what bootloader that one is....so flame away :)

Thanks for any assistance !
[Acer Iconia A500] rayburne:
I upgraded to 3.0.1 yesterday from Taboonay 2.2. I didn't upgrade the bootloader. I just followed the standard installation steps on the first post. The only issue so far is when booting up, there is "snow" on the screen for about 5 seconds before the boot animation kicks in. Other than that it seems to be running fine. I haven't done much research on the ICS bootloader so not sure what the benefit is to upgrade to it? So far the rom seems stable and smooth. Vache is the man!
[Acer Iconia A500] Anolnx:
The base looks like the same you twitted some weeks ago, is it the same? That would save me a new flash. I'll flash the 501 kernel at once!
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Yes it's the same base, you can just flash the kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] Anolnx:
Flashed the A501 kernel, but can't configure anything about the 3G modem, no menues in the settings.

I cleared the cache, the Dalvik, but no way. Must I do a hard reset to activate the 3G menu?
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Could you try this as base ? http://bit.ly/LE27i4

You will still have to flash the kernel after.
[Acer Iconia A500] Anolnx:
Good work, we're one step further. The menues are there, I can access and change the settings, the A501 modem finds the network and reacts normally, changing from 3G to Edge when the signal is low. GSM/UMTS network is found and connected.

But no way to acess the internet with the modem. There is a red cross on the phone signal level in the traybar and I can't get a single bit through the modem. I double-checked the APN, they're good. Again a problem exeeding my talent. Counting on you!
[Acer Iconia A500] paugustin:
New test kernel (3G-6) still ok for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Could you try with this kernel > http://bit.ly/KhFnuM
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Ok, can you give me again your modem model ?

Also do you know wich model is used in most A501 ?
[Acer Iconia A500] paugustin:
Sure I have a Huawei EM770W but I guess many A501 uses an Ericsson F5521gw (not sure about that)...

Anyway the Service guide states 3 possible modem:

Network

3G Module HUAWEI EM770W (with GPS/AGPS)

Hmmm, Afterota says my bootloader is "0.03.0X-HC". Time to update I think.

Edit:

Step1: bootloader updated... Done!

Note: Afteroa gave me a FALSE SBK. The good old method saved me.

Step2: flashed the new recovery and the new kernel... Done!

And... It's working! Wonderfull! I'm surfing with my A501 on 3G! No more red cross on the tray bar, it's working smoothly.

I did some surf, updated some apps with Google Play, first tests are nice. It's 2AM there, I'll test further after a nap. Thanks again for your great work, Vache!
[Acer Iconia A500] Anolnx:
Uh-oh, seem I experienced a SOD. I'm experimenting further.

Edit: well, I had a SOD this morning after a night, but that was only once. The tablet recovered from each of her sleeps since then.

Edit (2): No SOD whatsoever since the one time, must have been something else that shut the tablet off.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hey Vache,

Flashed your base, and 3g works so far. Of course will test it further, unless you have something you want me to check out. (have not flashed your other kernel).

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
Just make sure that 3G is stable and you don't have SoD.

Of course if something goes wrong let me know ;)

EDIT : did you flash the last kernel (3G-b6.img) after the base ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No problem Vache.

No, didn't flash that kernel after the base. Just running the base.

Info: With the base, GPS doesn't pick up sats. 10 minutes no activity.

Will let you know about SOD. Will run it through the night to check the 3g.

MD

EDIT.... and GPS won't shut off even when disabled ;)

UPDATE: 12hrs. No SOD, and 3g restarted on waking.

GPS in reality is turned off. It's the "searching" icon that continues flashing in the taskbar. Battery life was normal overnight.

Display brightness turned off after deep sleep. Had to activate the widget to turn it on (use manual settings). Setup wizard error'd on first install and wizard restarted. Normal after that.

UPDATE: about 17hrs. 3g finally died. No-go on ril restarter.
[Acer Iconia A500] Anolnx:
Tests are going on with the new base - new kernel:

I tried the GPS, by me it does not even starts: no sign of activity whatsoever, nothing in the traybar.

Hi,

do you have any chance to get a bluetooth headset with microphone working. I want to use a Plantronics Voyager Pro UC but i coulnd connect this. Peering is ok.

thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Phyrefly:
Hi all,

I installed this ROM months ago, and just recently started having WiFi problems. I have searched through the forums here, and everybody seems to be fixing that by flashing a new Kernel. I downloaded and flashed Villain kernel 3.7 last night, and it has not changed anything...

I also have an issue mounting my SDCard (ie it won't mount at all) - but I don't care much about that, as I've never used it anyway!

Any advice on either issue gratefully received, but the WiFi solution is the one I need. (it finds my network, connects to it, identifies, gets an IP, and then disconnects and starts again... repeatedly. On any Wifi network, so it's not the router)

Thanks,

Rich

Any help would be welcomed has i'm looking for a working/stable 3G connection and thor2002ro v170 drop 3G regularly
