This is incorrect.

Android is most certainly not GPL!

odd my a500 clearly hasn't got 3g.. so when I try adding an account Gmail/Google isn't listed.
[Acer Iconia A500] spoupard:
Great ROM. The only problem I have found so far is that, with Moboplayer, I get video but no audio. Everything else that I have tested works fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Would just like to say for anybody with battery drain issues like i saw in some other 3.1 threads. I just ran Pandora for over 5 Hours still 85% :D
[Acer Iconia A500] bochocinco23:
They won't answer cuz its not a topic that is easily explained....like video lol Point you in the right direction, its built into m-deejay's picasso 1.6 so if you want it either switch to his rom or download it and extract /system/xbin/openvpn and openvpn.sh. then /system/lib/modules/tun.ko and place them in their respective folders in dexters rom to test it out
[Acer Iconia A500] valerio45a:
Great job on the rom. There's a little issue though. Gmail is missing calander and contact sync. Please include. Its so important for me and most other people I'm sure.
[Acer Iconia A500] relaxable:
major major Problem no ability to sync google contact or calendar ! (settings accounts and sync has only gmail and books.) This is deal breaker..

how to use handcent sms in acer a500?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
sorry for not updating and fixing issues..

im on the kernel fixing right now, and ill update asap..
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Any joy with that 1080p Bourne trailer? I tried the latest Virtuous Picasso which has gone back to an Asus base and it's fine there. So the Asus stuff clearly has something that the Acer doesn't.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin9999:
i try Virtuous Picasso and Aconia P1 both have same problem~~after few hour my tablet will auto shut down~~~~
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
but our results with avi playback using asus image, did not go well?
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
They seemed ok in mobo player with software decoding. The Acer rom only worked with software decoding on avi too
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
no, actually they work.. (but i have to use Astro filemanager to force open with mediaplayer)

i got avi hardware decoding here, with several AVI.. some without audio some are with (very old avi)
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Nice, I wonder if there's any chance of getting video with AC3 audio track playing with hardware decoding. That would be the ultimate.
[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:
Won't install

I have updated with Acer Recovery Installer and now have clockwork running. I am currently running the Picasso Rom because nothing else would install. I tried this ROM and it installed, but when I ran it, I got a startup screen with a lot of interesting information about processor type, memory etc. said it was initializing and just looped and restarted.

Moreover, the backups that I have done since I have put clockwork on will not restore.

Any assistance much appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
you have to wipe cache,dalvik cache, data and then restart with the acer rom and it will work.

It will take at least 3-4 Minutes sitting on the ANDROID screen.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i guessed so, take your time and i am sure you will do a good job.
[Acer Iconia A500] manfly9884:
Hey Dexter. Love this ROM. As soon as the Google sync issue is addressed it will be perfect. Also having some issues with screen dimming as I write this
[Acer Iconia A500] mrlonely78:
dexter,

i love this rom, so far my 3g dongle is working great. can send and read sms. mine telling me what is the call button for? when i click, it force close. one more thing, cannot download from megaupload, filesonic via browser. any fix for this?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
ill probably make a "3g" only fix.. as the Contacts + Phone apk needs to be replaced to make that part work.. but as you say sms is working and data works, its probably not worth much i guess, since you cannot dial.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i still would like to have contact and calendar sync on wifi only, because i can use SIP

for calls via wifi.

besides that it worked with the stock version on 3.01
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Gonna try this as m-deejays asus rom on iconia reboots randomly. However on these acer leaks as from china bbc iplayer in browser doesnt recognise i in uk. Asus rom i dont have that issue nor acer 3.0.1
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
ok,

mod is closing in...

have fixed some hdcp/hdmi issues with audio drivers..

got it to play most of the original 3.1 media with avi/mkv's possible, they still show up in gallery 3d with the new setup..

could not find the the video issue with the movie trailer of bourne, i was requested to check, if i get it working, i lost all avi/mkv h/w playback, so i dropped.. must be a asus only thing. i did loose some WMV 1080p support.

fixed kernel 1080p media playback issue.

im gonna start making the image now..
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Awesome! Acer stock thats what it should be.

Sorry to ask but how do you install the patch for the Acer main meny buttons?

Is the image up???

Great was just gonna flash initial release so will wait for this one. Can we have asus keyb as option or patch plz? Thanks again
[Acer Iconia A500] plemme61:
I apologize in advance for the stupid question but here it is ... do I need to wipe in cwm if I'm already using a custom rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
pleaaaase dont include the asus keyboards and if you do please make a patch to revert to Acer keyboard!

Thnx ahead and your roms are the best so far!

vote to previous posts, acer is acer. no need asus keyboard and buttonts.

awaiting for link to download last versus
[Acer Iconia A500] smaiitm:
Yes, please. That is part of the best practice and a safe bet to get the new rom working.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
i might do a patch for asus keyboard (as i liked it too), but stock android keyboard is ok too, and got my nationals included, so no big issue here..
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
thanks chef only issue i have with android keyb is numeric keys needing a separate button to access. this is a tablet5 not a mobile phone so full qwerty with alpha numeric keys is expected. that's my opinion. also its not an acer keyb but stock honeycomb. is there any way to have the web browser recognise i am in the uk as on bbc iplayer i get 'not available outside uk' message when i quite clearly am. also browser seems to treat most sites as mobile format even is string is default to desktop.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
acer dont have a specific keyb mate its stock android and it cud be better, asus keyb rocks quite literally and also the shortcut buttons. the asus weather widget is also very cool! having own both devices i can tell you acer kicks ass but asus have the edge on widgets and customs
[Acer Iconia A500] allexx71:
1000 people have 1000 different opinions. In our case thanks to Dexter to give us possibility to choose by creating patches.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
agree totally with choices mate totally! even dexter agrees that asus keyb is cool and if u have used it what's there not to like! win win for us all with our beloved tabs. no matter what the make they all run honeycomb! acer just too slow to offer official 3.1 here in uk so i have to use custom. asus provided 3.1 soon as u turn on machine for 1st time. cant deny that ****
[Acer Iconia A500] edl:
+1 no ASUS Keyboard

Dexters work is geat, keep it almost stock, make faster, maybe kernel tuning etc.

So everybody has the possibiltitys to make the rom for his wishes.

There are so many Tools, so you can Install the Keyboard unsinstall it, make it a System App.ando so on.

Titanium Backup is greatt for such things
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
awaiting p2 thats uploading

will give a whirl asap............... asus keyb patch when u have time chef. change log makes this release one to have right now. exciting stuff.

also can u point me in direction of asus weather widget as i love that! how do i get it on your rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
what are on about? if he provides a patch you dont have to apply it! asking to make it available as it is a nice keyboard and doesnt affect stock rom performance! some people lol
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
Dexter, if I already have once installed ACER's 3.1 ROM do I need the Power management flash again? I haven't downgraded to 3.0.1 since.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
That Bourne trailer even works fine on a stock 3.01 Xoom, so not sure what Acer have done.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
P2 edition online!

P2 edition is finally online now!

See post #1 for link and changes.

Enjoy!
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
No.. problem is, the update does not check if its upgraded, so its waste of time if you did the original 3.1 update.

Ill continue digging, but its hard to get the match working right with all the other small changes, and "Dolby" being a feature xoom or asus do not have..

So having this mp4 specific encoding working over all the other formats working (sadly not wmv right now), thats a big sacrifice for now..
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
And is there any way (now with the custom kernel) to make the device be recognized as storage device?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
actually it already is by new standards, using MTP protocol..

here comes the Acer Sync software into the picture..

But i might find a way to add the storage option as well, but Acer do not support it in its framework, so it will be quite useless here.
[Acer Iconia A500] ioneng:
Does this rom have Asus file manager intergrated? Those external storage notification icons are really handy.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
its like i said we need an all acer rom with some asus enhancements. some real nice touches on the transformer
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
can i extract the boot.img and install that on its own to get the new kernel, while keeping my stock 3.1 setup? im assuming yes?
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
Wipe before update?

Since there's a kernel change, do we need to wipe before flashing p2 from p1?

Chlballi
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
If you know how, then yes, that should work.

Yes..you can have a conflict with maps/gmail etc, which had wrong signatures.. so i think ill update and write its required for P2 update.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Downloading now to flash as fed with other rom issues as now freezing too. Dont forget asus keyb patch plz mate
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
This new "standard" is a disaster! It is SLOW, incompatible and we don't have access to the MicroSD card! I hate Google some times!

[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Installed and as expected stellar work. Yes people Asus shortcuts on home screen lol so u gonna moan its not completely stock lol. Asus unlike Acer seem to be more into this tablet dev which is why their 3.1 was readily available. We have to rely on a leak and custom mods to have 3.1 on iconia. Once I have keyb patch for Asus keyb this rom is perfect. Acer weather app needs refreshing each time I come from an app to home screen. Still playing with it so any more bugs I report. Thanks again Dexter

Booting into Recovery

loaded this rom, very fast and smooth, nice work. I also loaded the acer recovery app from the market, linked in post #1, and have not been able to boot into it via rom manager, quick boot, or the recovery app itself. I can only boot into recovery manually.

I didnt have this problem when i had the stock update loaded, any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
MKV still not working with hw decoding on P2. Something really wrong with the Acer based roms media support. I'm undecided what to stick with now, I keep changing between the Acer and Asus roms every day hoping that one of them is going to have everything I want. It looks like if I want mkv hw decoding and 1080p mp4 support i need to use Asus roms and if I want dolby and the rotation lock switch I have to use the Acer based roms. I wish I could have one that had everything :)

[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Bluetooth seems unable to work, that's my backup for the broken gps... :(

It's ok, because Sygic won't activate till they reset my license as the update to 3.1 caused it to change device ids for some reason.

Well for me no issues at all everything works so far. Think Asus base it more multemidia friendly so I'd like to see a hybrid with the best of both. Picasso 1.07 is close but random rebbots in standby suck. Power consumption is amazing on this rom in standby I must say. I always wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing so get no issues. Rom needs a few bits from Asus rom to make it a winner. How do I put my name on lockscreen?

Ok figured out how to use the patches.

Quick guide for those who still dont know.

1. Change patch name to update.zip

2. Place it in your External SD Card

3. Boot into recovery mode and just scroll down to the first option 'update from SDcard'

And that's it.

Hope it helped anyone.

Much easier way.

1. Do not rename anything.

2. Just put it on your sdcard.

3. Go into CWM

4. choose "install zip from sdcard"

5. pick your zip

6. done

Why doing it this way? Because you can easily have 100 different roms and patches on your sd and won't get lost.

Hello,

I want WP7 on NAND and Android on SD.

Now i have a 2GB class2 sd card. The performance of android was okay, no difference to NAND.

Is the performance better when i buy a class 6 or higher sd card?

I think about a 8gb or 16gb for WP7 partition and android. class 6 cards are more expensive than class 2. Is it worth?

Thanx from Germany.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr.Move:
If you only used the time you spent on writing this thread on the search button, you would have found the answer faster:

the class of the card only affects writing speed. It doesn't affect Android performance. Each card has an "access time" and the longer it is the worse the performance.

There's a benchmarking thread for SD cards here on XDA, try using the search button to find it :)

just click on search, choose "HD2 Android", and key words: SD benchmark

or use google:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SIAS87:
Hi,

I recently rooted my phone using the brilliant kernel in this post - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

I need to unroot my device now to return it. I have read up on unrooting, and I just need to remove the superuser and busybox etc.

CWM is also included in the kernel, I really need to remove this aswell. I have done a bit of reading but just want to confirm how I do it.

Apparently because it was included in a kernel I just need to flash over another kernel to remove it. Previously my phone was running xxJVO, has any one got a link to the kernel I need?

In all honesty I just need to remove the CWM and tweak apps from the app draw, the person will never check past that - is there an easier way?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cgo372:
I'm afraid the only way to remove root and CWM is to reflash the stock rom.

So follow this tutorial

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxjvo-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-your-galaxy-s/

So flash xxjvo without bootloaders - is this correct? This will remove root and cwm?

Thanks for your reply!

Dan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SIAS87:
Just a quick question the tutorials I have found say different things.

Should re-partition be ticked if I want to go back to the stock XXJVO from a rooted and CWM XXJVO?
