sweet im excited!! might have to wait til i wake up tho :(

oh yeah! now i'm using your p8
[Acer Iconia A500] Harro:
The easiest way for NTFS support I found was https://market.android.com/details?id=au.dach.drivemount

It works well, even with my 1.5TB portable drive...

video 1080p

Video 1080p works well ? I'm looking for a ROM which able me to watch video full Hd.. thanxs guys...
[Acer Iconia A500] Raphaello:
Will this ROM be promotet to OTA update when ex. android 3.2 has come?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
from i write this about 50mins more (i got a slow internet)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Umm, no? This is a custom ROM, not an official Acer release...
[Acer Iconia A500] Alejandrissimo:
Iconia can play 1080p even in 3.0.1 but in Baseline profile, no way tegra 2 can play high 1080p sadly
[Acer Iconia A500] thejondude:
I find that hard to belive
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
WHY oh WHYYYYYY!!!! :( ;( ;(
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
WMV 1080p works with hardware decoding on 3.1 (i tested the microsoft 1080p samples) and no stuttering or so..

but although some say 1080p hdmi is ok, its actually still just downscaled to 720p output and why our tablet can play it quite nicely.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i decided to add a patch, so you can use Acer stock colors, if you wish.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i will check this one as soon as it is available. tks dexter, will also buy you a beer afterward.

just a remark, and thats the reason why i did not try any of the other rom's, anything besides the kernel is not GPL. so anything coming from ASUS and added to ACER could cause ASUS to intervein and call you a pirate. thus I would ruther stay with stock, and modify stock with my own ideas or at least with things not coming from asus or any other tab maker.

Anyhow tks for your good work.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
How can I put the original Honeycomb buttons back?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Initial release online now!

So its finished uploaded and its online.

see post #1 (right beside the notification of the asus buttons)
[Acer Iconia A500] macdenz:
Downloading...

Feedback after testing...

BTW Thanks Dexter_nlb
[Acer Iconia A500] carasco92:
bi dexter, i have a question tor you. Using this ROM Will i have the same problems i have with the original update? now when a take a picture my camera crashes, while the videocamera doesn't save the video i record...
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
I don't think thats entirely accurate for Android!..

Asus built their changes on top of Android which is GPL, and changes made to that needs to be openly available for modification..

when we talk application development yes, but Android 3.x OS changes and graphics modifications, i think we can what we like to, as the platform is distributed under GPL.

Only parts i guess will be copyrighted/licensed are GoogleApps, which again Acer do have rights to use, so we can place them on our tablets..
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
No need to rename zip lol just choose zip from sdcard within cwm. 1080p playback is not smooth at all no where near. Even struggles in YouTube when in browser. 720p not bad but could be smoother. Had one deep sleep incident so had to reboot tab as it seems power button stops working. No random reboots as yet. Camera OK but HD video record quality sucks. Good thing about custom roms is that they can be improved so keep working guys as much appreciated
[Acer Iconia A500] uvm:
I can't install using ClockWorkRecovery. It says "E:Can't mount /sdcard". What am I supposed to do now? Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] woffu22:
Thanks, great rom.

Question streaming video

On 301 stock it was no problem streaming video/avi with upnplay and mobo player.

Now there is no way to watch either with mobo nor with robo or streamplayer.

How do you stream videos by smb? ? Thanks

Partly solved: Buzz Player can play smb, works.
[Acer Iconia A500] imrush1984:
it happened to me with the sdcard i was using so i tryed with another and it worked, you can use USB stick too for flashing.
[Acer Iconia A500] uvm:
I don't have a SD card inserted. I copied the zip file directly to the internal storage. Is this where I get wrong? Thanks anyway. I will try your suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A500] imrush1984:
yeah, try SD or USB:)
[Acer Iconia A500] uvm:
It worked when I try this with a USB stick. I am so stupid. Thanks a lot for helping me.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Yes, and this has been said many times so please read.

You HAVE to copy to an external SD card. It does not work from internal.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Sleep of death 2x now. Have long press power button to reboot. Only happens after period of non use. Needs investigating seriously
[Acer Iconia A500] digitalcrazyness:
i have p2 install and my gps works great, audio in movies works and my a500 doe not reboot or freeze like it did on stock 3.0.1.

all i did was clear the data and installed over stock 3.0.1

now my tablet is a speed freak.

thank you very much for this rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
How can we verify OC?

Thanks And where is handscent located in system/app
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
so to be clear you did not do a system wipe?

did you have to reinstall the apps from your 3.0.1 system??

thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] digitalcrazyness:
Yes, i did do a system wipe. sorry i wasnt clear. I was tired from playing with this rom all night..
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Sleep of death is a serious bug in this rom. Is that what the power management zip is for. Each leave in standby for a few I need to reboot. P3 plz chef as sadly p2 doesn't cut it. Will reflash honeyvillain while wait for an update

Gonna try unity v1 kernel with this as sleep of death is annoying now
[Acer Iconia A500] imrush1984:

[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
This rom has disabled the ability to use rom manager or acery recovery installer to boot into recovery! Damn now for manual
[Acer Iconia A500] r3v0Lut10n:
How can i play 720p videos ? The basic gallery app cant play it, moboplayer plays but struggling, also rockplayer or arcmedia ain't working. Nothing special a simple 720p mkv with ac3 i guess ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i can confirm this.. i have seen it once this morning. but not since then..

maybe related to long standby and min. cpu rate..

ill do some digging on this topic.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
asus,xoom, acer do not support AC3 audio at all so, thats a no-go..

im not even sure samsung support ac3..

i use Astra filemanager, Choose "Open As" -> Video..

then i can play some that Gallery did not show.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
thanks chef! also why is ability to reboot into recovery from rom manager or acer recovery installer not work? had to use physical button method to boot into recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Is that the local for handscent or to verify oc?

Thanks

Sent from my infused machine
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Do you have the per power management flashed? And have you tried with it flashed if you haven't? I ask cuz I just flashed this rom w/o pm flash and hope I dont get sleep o death...

Sent from my infused machine
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
I use quick reboot and it reboots into recovery fine...
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
thanks mate just did it manually
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
i haven't flashed it mate sorry. sleep of death was too much for me so i reverted back to Picasso. random reboots i know but asus rom seems more multimedia friendly than stock acer
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Lovin the new rom' been running it since u put it up, also flashed pm update and phone has not had sleep of death (lol I like the name) nor has it rebooted. I'm currently oc'd to 1504 using no-frills cpu, cam works great ty, just 1 question, why quadrant score so much higher with m-deejay's oc'd kernel? 2395 w/ yours and 4010 with the other, still sticking with yours though, I like the stability :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] imrush1984:
it is for handcent sorry for not clarifyng, thought you was going to figure it out:p
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
1504 seems to be a sweet spot for these roms as another guy in picasso thread states that since he over clocked to 1504 and turned screen off profile on he has had no sleep of death. Ive just applied using cpu master so will see how it goes. Asus rom guys plain and simple kicks ass. Acer rom sucks
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Any chance on getting an Xbox 360 controller working? I don't have a ps3 :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Not to sound overly sarcastic but thanks for all the info after I and many others asked abt 100 times and in the end I figured it out myself and I take pride in that so thanks for the additional info but not reaaally needed.

Cheers?
[Acer Iconia A500] digitalyz:
+1 I have the usb adapter for my pc but when I try to sync my controller I just get a reboot
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i noted those values too :)

i am not sure why it hits so much lower.. my linpack scores are 63+ so im pretty sure its oc'd, but could be that the gpu is not oc'd..

i get a very low 2d frame rate..
[Acer Iconia A500] r3v0Lut10n:
thanks for the answer. so this way almost all 720p or 1080 vids out of support :( (cause most of 'em use ac3)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ya I figured it out lol thx
[Acer Iconia A500] :
What's the best way to oc.

Edit: downloaded setcpu 1504, scaling performance gets me a quadrant of 2500 vs 1750 stock on this rom. Not bad
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
So far the rom has been very stable for me with a Max CPU of 1.2.

Have not had a chance to test Bluetooth or GPS.
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
I am using CPU master. It seems to work well.
[Acer Iconia A500] digitalyz:
I am getting 77-85 in linpack at 1504mhz, not sure why crappy quadrant
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
I like no-frills because all it does is oc, don't have to worry about it doing things in background, like setcpu collects statistics in background
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
In linpack I get 73+ at 1504 and 70 at 1000
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks guys trying no-frills. Also so even though you do warn against it I have always disabled phone.apk in stock rom, honeyvillin, etc.. with no issues I also renamed in your rom with no stability issues yet(knock on wood) but the phone icon is still in my app drawer? But I have not had this issue on other roms?

Thanks Dex keep it up
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i am getting a score of 2293 with o/c to 1.2.

this again proofs that it is not necessary to oc more the 20%, since anything above does not give any real advantage (same thing on my SGS), because anything above give possibly only 5 to 10%, more likely 5%. and that is usually what you can get without any risk of FC or restarts, or any heat problem.

In fact with quadrant you should always do the test twice, because the second time (and any further time) it gives a stable value.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Using no-frills oc to 1.2, scaling performance
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Beautiful rom everything works but HDMI is still 720p....
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I got a 4856 rank at 1408 oc.

Sent from my A500 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
if you cannot use the numbers of the asus builds, there is a bug in the h264 decoder, so it actually skips the test, and you gain ultra high score on it..

faulty quadrant tests...

actual score with 1408 should be alot lower..
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
HDMI is 1080P but mostly 720p, BUT!

if you do a test recording with camera at HIGH, and then try and play it on tv, you will suddenly see your TV running 1080P :)

so its works fine, but your tablet now support resolution switching depending on source played.. there is no scalable option included anymore (was on early 2.2 tablets)
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
Hey Dex, great ROM, thanks for the hard work.

I want to report error with bluetooth, I cannot seem to send or receive files after using your ROM.. other than that, SUPER! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] MonitorMonkey:
Same here. Flashed the pm update and 30ish hours with no sleep of death or rebooting. Haven't had it charge over night yet though.

Overall rom is working very well for me. So thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] hohohohoho:
Great Acer based ROM ever! Flawness!

But may i have a patch to restore the stock button and lock screen ?

Thanks a lot.
[Acer Iconia A500] minpor:
I have a big problem. I can't reboot into recovery mode, reset, what's wrong?
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Are you using a program or the manual way? Programs tend to not always work for me so i stick with good old pwr & vol+
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
power + vol- :D
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
I hold the volume button closest to power button, the other way doesn't work, at least for me it doesn't
[Acer Iconia A500] minpor:
power+ vol - doesn't work too. It doesn't work always
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
what happen when u press this?

image sos checksum error or stock recovery ?
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
mine boots into CWM recovery.

do you have a recovery image installed?
[Acer Iconia A500] minpor:
ALL right. I have done it. Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
CANCELLED!
[Acer Iconia A500] r3v0Lut10n:
u mean finish updating this rom ?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ok I'll try....

PS3 Controller works perfectly
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
something like that for now..

to explain a little more,

the current official ACER 3.1 rom is HongKong based and therefore makes small differences for countries using it in europe.

Books app different, gps works different even wifi is running with HK settings.. and its not perfect, so its better waiting for something for europe which also is more tested by acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
Dexter...previously you menioned about quandrant benchmark. To be honest, I think ur kernel is faster than Unity...but don't know why it shows lower score. Graphic seems smoother as well. Can it be st else? Or u still think it is bcz ur kernel doesn't oc gpu?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
the 4600+ benchmark people see if a bug in asus rom, where h264 decoding is skipped, i seen this on milestone Defy, folio100 and other platforms when porting other roms.. its easy to cheat quadrant score, which is the case here, with the asus bug..

Acer scors are the most correct ones, and yes, this kernel has oc'd gpu as well a little (as i read tiamat/Xoom).. i only take creds for the merge of this kernel, but actually changes might as well go to tiamat as that is the kernel i merged acer code with.
[Acer Iconia A500] woffu22:
Its a great rom, in prime you solved Problem with GPS,

so one more Update with working GPS would be very very nice!
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Had a bad morning :)

ROM is now updated again, and ill follow up on it..

See post #1 for the new P2-1 update, which fixes GPS/BLUETOOTH issue
[Acer Iconia A500] MonitorMonkey:
OK, you had me nervous...tried Picasso, but keep coming back to yours.

So keep up the good work!
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
404 trying to download the p2-1 patch. Shouldn´t the link point to http://dext3r.komodin.org/iconia/DextersIconia_p2-1.zip ?

BTW, in your HB Asus ROM, there was a portuguese-br language, but in this new one, there´s only portuguese (PT). Do you know any way to extract BR from the other ROM and injecting in this new one?

Thanks!

[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Sorry my apologies I didnt see the typo thing.

Gonna test the patch now.

Keep up the good work Dexter!

And I hope some day you will let us in on your little lock screen name thing ;)

Would be cool to put my own name or word there.

Cheers.

Edit: GPS is working, and I mean of course working as it always has, pretty crappy. But at least I got a few fixes.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
agree, i compared this to stock 3.0.1 now, just to confirm locally here for me, its the same its really not super fast, but i get 9+ hits..

and it should be noted that acer 3.1 does not use gp.conf for updating as i looked at it.. but it should get lock positions from internet now with some changes done to services and gps.conf
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i had P2 installed updated to P2.2 and it got into boot loop. Reinstalled P2 and it worked well, reinstalled P2.2 got again bootloop. reinstalled p2 and it worked.

I am using encryption, so it is asking for a pw beforehand and each time I unlock it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Encryption actually does work (normally) for you? sounds great if it does, then ill remove warning in the PRIMEE edition.
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
just re-tested the GPS (I can't sleep before doing another test) and it works. thanks Dexter! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
yes encryption works without any problems.

i used it with 3.01 and with p1 and p2

but it does not work with p2.2

no i have not reformatted anything. it might work if i start it up without encription and encrypt afterward.

there is no pb with cwm or su so far. as long as you install everything once you have encrypted.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
ill compare the kernel, maybe some encryption point, i missed..

but major is that im using different ramdisk, its totally renewed, so maybe its a flaw in that one for encryption.. ill also that ramdisk options for encryption.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
anyone noticed reboot using standard 1000Mhz? , its just that while i had it in the garden and during all day.. wifi goes to sleep and no reboots here?

just want to check up on the issue with the other kernel i read..

maybe wrong wifi, is what i think? bad combo of drivers maybe..
[Acer Iconia A500] johnblue2000:
still downloading ur rom :):) I'm sure this one rocks :)
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
Not here, so far so good... I mean, 1000Mhz is the default setting, right? I did not overclocked yet (trying to find an app to).
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
yes its default.. but this way its easier to debug, if we experience reboot's with higher speeds.. cpu master is the one i use from market.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
At 1000 not but at 1600 it hangs right away! And this is only with p2-2 and p8-3! Previous version of p2 worked at 1600MHz without any problems! Can you check what went wrong with the kernel?
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
and while we're on the topic of overclocking, which overclocking app do you suggest we use for your kernel Dexter?
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
use setCPU from the market works well.
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
reporting: found a bug. if you pull out the SD card and put it in again, file managers (astro, root explorer) says the external SD is empty (while it's not).

if you cant replicate it right away, try taking the SD card out, save some files onto it on your computer, then put it back in..

the only cure is to reboot the tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] MonitorMonkey:
All good here...
[Acer Iconia A500] WishRyder:
I can't test it here at work, but I had this same issue with the stock acer rom. I had to download a "storage rescan" app to make it work without having to reboot.

[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
different solution here. its not "DerArtem" solution, as it had some issues falling out and users could not reconnect, this one is more reliable for now...

and there have been no updates..

but note, there exists other a500 solutions.. if you check section here..

Try,try again? the power on and holding "volume -" solution, is a safe bet..

Ah, got it. I just wasn't holding down the volume button long enough. I was releasing as soon as the tab vibrated indicating it was powering off. Sorry about the newb question and by the way, I am liking your ROM.

I'm happy to report this is currently the most stable, fastest, and best memory managaged rom so far!

gps still is a POS, but that is not dexters doing..

good work! I'd still love to get a video done, things are changing far too fast, I just about had the one done for primmee.. and then 3.1 was semi released, and a market installer of cwm.. jese you take a few days off and the entire banana gets pealed!
