Another Excellent Rom Dex. Awesome stuff. Just installed and everything went flawlessly.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
this still doesn't play h264 High@L4.0 with aac LC audio witch the asus rom played...
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
please send your thank you to Acer for that important point of view :)

I'm sure Acer like to know how sad their development development goes down the drain with updates.. Maybe Asus really do a better job.
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
Thank you very much!
[Acer Iconia A500] lpachuong:
I've got the feeling that the Graphic driver from Acer is somehow laggy comparing to Asus
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
Small thing I noticed in lumi read the Acer manual does not open goes to black screen and back. Google books work fine however.
[Acer Iconia A500] gongzhiger:
compare this to the asus 3.1 rom that you created, which one is smoother?
[Acer Iconia A500] anstelios:
OK..

Can someone take from asus rom everything that is needed and put it on an acer based ROM so we can play these videos ??
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
I think this one. More compatible faster launcher transitions.
[Acer Iconia A500] maddog40:
hey. must be root before you do this? Or should we just download it from the market (recover) and run your file.

Is it as root at the same time.

thanks

DK Rocker.
[Acer Iconia A500] Crsdr37:
You need to be root first or acer recovery app can't get superuser permission to run....
[Acer Iconia A500] vepman:
In the moment, everything works fine.

Huawei E1550, i can test only in the evening.

Great Job, Dexter. :)

[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Dexter do you think that there is any way you can transfer whatever was making the following clip work fine in Primee to this Acer rom? None of the Acer based roms play this clip but the Transformer based roms play it flawlessly. Acer have really messed something up.

[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
Hey Dex,

MuchoThanko,

Question, Can you or anyone else confirm or not that 3.1 supports apps2SD?

Also would this be ok to use in the states?? or would a different base have to be used....

thanks again
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
when you say apps2sd, is it like 1.x/2.1 kind of apps2sd? we got "move 2 tablet/move2usb" now in 3.x?

although the wifi has added channel 12-13, i think its safe to use for USA owners.

i got the clip and i am gonna test later on..and maybe spot the difference and get it running here too..
[Acer Iconia A500] anstelios:
Google Maps can not update from market.

Anyone else having this issue ??
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
OpenVPN?

I keep asking this and no one seems to respond... maybe no one else cares about VPN? Or other things (like video) are higher priority? I use OpenVPN to access my home network when I am away.

Does this have the TUN module built in? If so, how hard would it be to bake OpenVPN support right into the ROM? I'll probably play with this a bit tonight and set it up myself if I have to, but I was just wondering if it could be added in to a future version.

I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
[Acer Iconia A500] jkrell:
Often when this happens, you can delete the app from the /system/apps folder (I always back it up in Titanium first) and then install from the Market. I've never been unable to install something when following this procedure.
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
So far this ROM is running fine. Nice and stable.

Does seem a little slower than PRIMEE. And a quandrant test is way slower. I had 2500+ before, not only 1500+

Not sure why.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
ill look into this.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Have you seen the new official rom? You dont feel like doing another prime with the new one? Its pretty neat.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
PRIMEE was asus based primarily, but i might get a chance to check if it would benefit of it.. seems the off. stock acer, is pretty good now...
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I thought you just like to call your Roms Primes, but I agree that the current stock is pretty darn good.

But there is always room for improvements :)
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
I'll stay tuned :) I like this rom. Oh and any news on a dressing the audio playback issue? It never moves to the next track while asleep. I have to wake it up for it to switch.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
when music stops playing in deepsleep mode after number finishes, its just your battery saver, that steps in.. no bug.. just android life as is..

you need to prevent "deepsleep" which android music player do not. use different player.. i think winamp and others solved the deepsleep issue..

I think you find the req. answered on google support pages.

normal behaviour of google android 3.x apps.. optimal battery life for your tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
okay thanks for clarifying. that seems kinda dumb from an android point of view. there own music player conflicts with their battery management. i guess something changed form 3.0 to 3.1 because i never had this issue before. hope they fix it :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dongimin2:
I REALLY WANT DOLBY!!!

how would i get it?

/disable ragecaps
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
its actually not in conflict.. but remember there is a brief moment of silence between two numbers, thats where the kernel steps in and put your device into deep sleep, so nothing gets a chance to respond.. but some ppl force wifi to stay on always to ensure its not happening in cases like this.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
ill give that a try later. battery life isnt that big of a deal to me lol. if it gets through the day ill be happy. i would rather charge it every night being dead then having it die in 1.5 days or at some weird time. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] Trinnity66:
Stable @ speed

This is quite a stable rom @ higher speeds when clocked. I installed P2-2 and then put the Thor-kernel V1.0 on it.

I have not had a FC while clocked up to 1600 constantly. Benchmarks not too bad either:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/20/device20110712225412.png/

Not the biggest benchmark I have had, but get this result constantly..
[Acer Iconia A500] digitalyz:
am I the only one having a problem of setcpu being pushed out of memory and having to reopen after screen time out otherwise it keeps processor clocked at 216mhz and the tablet is extremely slow. When I reopen it regrants root and sometimes I just have to touch the slider sometimes not
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
okay, WTH happened between m-deejay and Dexter? does anybody know if Dexter is releasing his ROM elsewhere? I really like his work. :-/
[Acer Iconia A500] das7771:
looks like some one is piggy backing on someone else's work and not giving credit where its due. I wish I knew what actually happen because I have been using Dexter's awesome work since day one. if xda has given him the shaft well I will probably leave this site as well. hopefully he will be posting elsewhere. gotta stay loyal man. if memory serves me correctly Dexter was one of the few at the beginning to start development on this tab, in my opinion this is a big loss for the xda community.
[Acer Iconia A500] life02:
So how did M-deejay get the mods to side with him over both dexter and thor?
[Acer Iconia A500] das7771:
Thor as well? Where did you see that? this seems to be a bit rediculous. so two of some of the first devs for this tab have left?
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
:D

..............no comments

my roms always original & exclusive
[Acer Iconia A500] life02:
Thor and m-deejay had some back and forth banter about kernels in a thread and then the mods locked thor's thread so he placed his kernels outside of xda.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Basically Thor refused to release the source of his kernel, so it got barred from XDA - quite rightly, as we can't very well get stroppy at Acer when they don't release source if we turn round and not release source ourselves.

I have no idea what happened with Dexter - his Primee was the first ROM I tried out, and as far as I'm aware he always released source?
[Acer Iconia A500] life02:
I don't see why XDA would want to ban someone over that... While I agree with sharing all code, I think it should be up the the developer... especially with everyone complaining of people "stealing" open source code from them.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
what site did they leave to, I enjoyed all the all the work from those guys
[Acer Iconia A500] das7771:
I agree with you 100% on that.i inwould like to know what site Dexter is going to, as I will be going to that site instead. I have only been using his roms as I have had no issues and no reason to try another.
[Acer Iconia A500] HIcycles:
That explains why richardtrip called thor's kernel "warez". I was curious about that.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
They didn't ban him, they barred his kernel. And it's not a question of being up to the developer - the kernel is licensed in such a way that it requires the sharing of the code. It's a breach of the license not to - that's why Acer etc release their code (eventually).
[Acer Iconia A500] life02:
Ban, Bar... stopped him from releasing here. Maybe thor would have eventually released his kernel as well... when Acer does... :)

I'm just sick of all the infighting between devs and devs and mods and devs on xda.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
I absolutely agree with that second part! Unfortunately though, as much as Thor's kernel was great, XDA is right not to allow it here - the community shouldn't endorse any GPL breaching. It doesn't matter if it's Thor, or Acer, or anyone - it's not OK.
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
i don't understand this guy, that message in all his OP threads.

crazy
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Thor2000ro got banned, due to less good reasons of this board.

no gpl apply, since companies do not even release source until maybe years after.. mdj got thor2000ro banned instantly due to lack of respect.

mdj furthermore got sanctioned by moderators for a small period since he did not post credits to roggin for his use of his work.. that was hidden from regular users as well.

xda is less likely to show that something is wrong, so posts get deleted, which i dont like and is dropping out of.

I cannot support a forum which has private missions to help wannabe's , and real developers gets kicked and companies gets ignored, when policies state otherwise..
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
im posted credits & thanks to roggin in my thread

i'm using only video drivers in my kernel from his git
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
I have removed any messages in OP from all threads i changed..

m-dj have, as im told by Mr.Clown, now learned a lesson and will appreciate other people's work and maybe put a little more effort into the thanks section in the future if any xda member is involved..

and always remember that his first release for a500, was based on a rom without GPL kernel source and illegal, and i am fully aware of any company pursuing roms ported from another company holds copyright notice, and can have consequences.

And remember thor2000ro was NOT doing anything wrong from a user point of view since acer started without GPL releases and m-dj started using their roms quickly without any concerns.. so don't blame thor2000ro for holding back, but blame xda and users complaining..

It can seem wrong, but thor2000ro contributed with something which were appreciated by most users..

but lets watch out for illegal ports and roms without gpl kernel sources from companies in the future and hold xda responsible if anyone post the roms here!!! that will probably have rules changing, if anyone cares..(probably not)

(XDA already do not allow roms with Swype included, if found!- think galaxy)
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
1) i always post link to my GIT for GPL

2) swipe natively included in galaxy rom. its part of touchwiz

3) we should remove all sense roms from xda or touchwiz? or maybe CM? or MIUI? :D
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Hi Dexter -

Sorry to see you go, as I mentioned earlier yours was the first rom I flashed and you did great work. I have to take issue with the above comment though - the GPL applies to any distribution of a Linux kernel. Just because Acer may break it doesn't give others an excuse. It's wrong when Acer does it the same as when anyone else does.

Do let us know if you continue your work elsewhere, I'd be keen to see what you produce. All the best, and sorry to lose you from XDA.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
What i meant was Acer,motorola vs. a single user thor2000ro.. acer roms stays with no gpl roms, but thor2000ro gets kicked, where is the fairness? just because its possible, xda is no police, if they were, no company roms were on this site. as long as many companies play the closed source book, and xda only chose to kick those that cannot fight the fight, thats low.. so thats why justice is keeping all roms and kernels although its not nicely done, but let users chose and stay away from that rom/kernel or let them use it.

1) "yours" , correct.. thats not the original concern, its where you supplier comes from and appreciation.. your kind note

"no thanks", i can do what i want with other peoples work.

was NOT nice!

2) Swipe is authorized for a samsung tablet, not acer, just to get it right.

3) i think HTC has dropped it, but this is in regard to xda police playing with rules. you cannot allow one, and then kick others just because its possible, but too many losses if htc,acer,motorola roms were kicked, what a step back for xda that would be. but then why kick single users? because they can? that would almost become racism.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
Dexter... just leave them in their little "dream world"...no point in wasting keyboard keys on them... m-deejay "friends" will come and censor all this in a couple of hours anyway...

and so you know I have to set it strait....I wanted to release the source... but you people pushed it too much you pm mods, scream all over the forum... Impatience is a sight that you are just little kids that when they what something they start screaming instead of doing it themselves... to get the 3.0 kernel to 3.1 was ~10 lines of code for minimum booting but you people just waited for someone to come and give you free work...
[Acer Iconia A500] das7771:
Thor and dexter...I would like to know if your moving on to another site to continue your work? if so where?.if you do not want to post please pm me.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Please do, I'd love to use your kernel. As a user that is, not a dev. I just don't think it's right that you use other's code without releasing your own.
[Acer Iconia A500] Trinnity66:
+1

Dexter, I sent you an email stating the same when everything first went down.
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
+1. Loved your ROM and thor´s kernel, but if it´s the way xda likes to play, at least I would like to know how I can follow your work.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts, man :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
As an original author of the GPL license, ethos, and spirit..... I can say you all need to check your egos.

The spirit of Android requires a collective agreement. You are to be open and helpful to one another. If you do this without self-serving interest, the project will be a success.

Mods on XDA need to relax. This was supposed to be fun. More flexibility toward others was a founding principle and part of the GPL mission statement. People who develop, do so for personal gratification. A Mods ability to govern an XDA forum is a privilege. Make sure you understand the landscape before you enforce anything. No police!

My rant is over. Can we please refocus our efforts? I will make you all cookies if you work together comfortably?
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Well put. I'd offer cookies too but I'm a terrible baker.
[Acer Iconia A500] franksames:
XDA getting mad.

Moderators should first learn what are the GPL Rules!

It seems more and more moderators smell there power and delete post or ban people without real reason. In the past 8 Month already several good developer left this place. It's a shame to see things happen like this.

Dexter has a name in the Android community and his work is brilliant.

Thor is a brilliant guy too. ( Check why you have CWM on your tablet ).

But it seems brilliant and experienced developer are not welcome anymore on XDA. Only Developer with big "advertising signature" and huge "donate me" button seems are now the number one here. It's seems we looking now more for marketing expert's than real hardcore developer.

It's a sad story!:confused:

When I set-up my Google accounts on the tablet, it isn't syncing the calendar and calendar doesn't appear a item that can be selected to sync.
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
My understanding with HC-3.1 was that it would indeed support apps2SD like the 1.x/2.1 and you would be able to move and/or run apps from the external SD card which would be very cool for all of us 16gb owners..... I gotta nice sandisk 16gb in my slot ready to run off of.

Also, did you happen to carry over lets golf and NFS???
[Acer Iconia A500] Zoidbergowitsch:
It`s the same here, no possibility for Calendar sync.....

Also Contacts are not synced anymore....
[Acer Iconia A500] bhageman:
Same for Google Music.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
hardware h264 decoding made a quadrant to difference. (primee had problems!)

hc3.1 Move2SD IS "move 2 tablet/Move2 usb".. that should do it... just different names.

nfs, not (too big)

golf, yes (i liked it, so its included) and acer licensed it with their rom.

ill check up on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] colin12345:
I had the same prob with Google Music. I force stopped it, uninstalled it and then re-installed. It's now working fine :-)

Google Calendar is also missing from my Accounts & Sync settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
actually i made a smaller mistake, which might be why..

the Google music,email , maps are all signed with "test" signature, i copied all of them into the folder, which of course were a mistake when testing..

this of course is having an impact on syncing as well..

ill try and make up for the wrong files hopefully just in a patch later today.
[Acer Iconia A500] colin12345:
Hmm... that's probably why Google Music won't update in the Market then. I had to download the apk and install it. I'll wait for your calendar patch.

As for issues, I have the same as stated above by other users.

Thanks :)

Anyone else think this is noticebly slower than prime?

I may reload prime and do some comparison checks.

Also I prefer the keyboard that prime had. If I go back to test I will back it up.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I also wanna know how to use the patch.

Another thing is the 1080p recording, it's recording at approx 15 fps which make the image of course play slower.

At least 24 fps would be good.

Thanks for the Ad-Hoc patch. I tried it on 1.8 and it worked until I rebooted. Afterwards - It sees the networks but will not connect. It goes as far as obtaining the ip address and the cycles again.

I tried removing the patch. I also did a fresh install of the latest rom and still cannot connect to a wi-fi network.

At this point I am unable to connect to any type of wifi network.

Please help :-)

Thanks for all your hard work.

[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Dexter your Rom is very nice not overcooked as they say.

The only things that i am having trouble with is:

1. Lumread cant open the PDF files

2. The 1080p records at 15 fps

3. Your name is everywere man *Dexter*! (Haha come on! we know its your rom!)

4. The CPU memory is always over 85% sometimes up to 97% occupied, whats taking all the memory?

5. Give the option to remove certain apps from the system that some do not want.

Other than these small things the Rom is g8!!!
