[Acer Iconia A500] orbix:
Also, Android Movie Studio (think iMovie or something- very basic at first glance, but seems quite functional so far) and Videos are new to the app list.
[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
Also got my update just in the last hour. Overall device seems snappier and USB mouse support is nice. I can also confirm that the Youtube Video Rental app comes with the update.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
Small point I know but it now appears that if you update apps in Market, once they are updated you now have option to uninstall the update.

The official new features list for Honeycomb 3.1 (outside of Acer updates)...

[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
I still cant see a safe way of removing from USB other than powering down?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Differences/Improvements I noticed.

1. When you are in Market and you enter an app to download or view and you go back to previous page you go back to were you were in app selection instead of the top of the app page (which sucked ass in 3.01)

2. UI transitions obviously, but except from vertical lag it is also pretty 'laggy' when you turn it upside down.

3. Faster startup of albums thumbnails and zoom and double tap is lightning fast.

4. Website scrolling and 2 pressure point zooming is lightning fast.

5. GPS locks faster

6. Emails come instantly, dunno if anybody noticed but in 3.01 the emails would not appear as fast they did in example hotmail tray.

7. Youtube plays videos flawlessly, 720p smooth as **** thru a goose.

8. 720p MP4 can be played but not VERY smooth, MKV can be played too but with no sound. The other HD videos that I usually play I encode with Handbrake using zoom setting but it sux ass to have to convert 720p movies that should play smooth.

9. I may be dreaming but sound seems better, louder and clearer. May be my imagination.

Then there is all the obvious changed of course. I'll add more when I remember more.

Cheers!

Couple of Differences in 3.1 Update

Got the update this evening in the UK

Couple of things I've noticed:

Acer Lumiread application has improved interface. This may be considered bloatware by the masses but I really like this compared to the alternatives.

As well as this the Landscape mode now allows 2 page reading something similar to ipad Also seems a lot smoother which actually is a massive improvement. There were a few bugs with this with the leaked chinese build that came out last week but these all seem to have been remedied in this version 4 build.

Improvement in GPS lock speed. I didn't really have a massive issue but now seem to be able to find around 10 sats vs 8 indoors with 3.01 stock and leaked build. .

Desktop Mode on Browser settings. Is it just me or does this actually do anything?

I've only tested it on the bbc website but it's still recognising my device as a mobile device even when desktop mode is set or when UAString is changed. All this mode seems to do is break bbc iplayer . Anyone else in the UK notice this?

Market shows incompatible apps: I've noticed quite a few gameloft games now showing up in the app which upon trying to purchase I get a "your device is incompatible" message. Previously i wasn't shown applications and games that were incompatible.

web browsing is a lot smoother. no fc so far (fingers crossed)
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
Pictures are much sharper in Picture Frame widgets :-)!
[Acer Iconia A500] ahernandez4110:
Thank God they took out Cell Standby ;) My Battery Last Longer.
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
I agree. Much less distortion at the highest volume setting.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Then I wasnt dreaming, awesome!

The sound is better yup yup!
[Acer Iconia A500] nasimdejai:
the bbc website doesnt work anymore as well on my device.Keeps showing the same message as yours
[Acer Iconia A500] peejayw:
In Lumiread, how do you switch off the 2 page feature and revert to single page?
[Acer Iconia A500] speeddaddy:
Every thing works good but the voice recorder still sucks:(
[Acer Iconia A500] GCurry:
I have a feeling it might be because the microphone sucks, or that the Acer case covers it. Alternate mic for speech input?
[Acer Iconia A500] jodiac:
I think the 3d effect in the gallary is lot smoother and snappier.
[Acer Iconia A500] dcoy82:
I have been using stock exchange email on mine out of the box since 3.0????
[Acer Iconia A500] lco7331:
zinio reader doesnt work...anybody got it work??
[Acer Iconia A500] lco7331:
one more thing...the lock screen is superb smooth!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] langas:
And also when you click on the icon of the opened aplications you can slide through them up and down...like a list. Any force close from the install! Wow!
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Check your quadrant score guys.....I'm getting 1634......no root......!and 1080p mp4 plays good....
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
No 1080p hdmi out.....acer said an update would be there.......anyways the quadrant scores are back to normal.....1900 and above....I didn't get google movies....is there any way to get it working here??
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Ignore Quadrant scores, they're garbage.

In fact, all benchmark scores are garbage and have bugger all to do with real world performance. They're nothing more than ePeen waving.
[Acer Iconia A500] Omega2513:
Here's a complete list right from Android.

[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Can anyone tell me why I didn't get google movies/youtube vido rental app??...could someone provide me with one??
[Acer Iconia A500] San Pedro:
I didn't get kobo, I got nook, however, I use kindle so it doesn't matter.

The Google movies hing seems cool, but I don't think I can rent from japan.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.nikunjgaria:
just one ques.. with 3.1 update does it now support more types of USB or just the fat32 like in 3.01... thinking of buying an external hard disk so will I have to root my tab for using that ext hdd?
[Acer Iconia A500] yakafaucon:
Seems to be new.. and it works fine now. All the site that detected 3.01 browser as mobile one now detects 3.1 as "normal" web .

But for me the obvious choice should be "tablet"... But I don't worry with that.. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] sgioskos:
There is no NTFS support in 3.1, flash drives and external HDD drives must be FAT or FAT32 formatted. I have a seagate GOFLEX 500GB drive formatted as FAT32 and it can be read with a file manager on an unrooted system.

Has anyone tried a USB hub on the ACER. Haven't got one with me at the moment to try that out.
[Acer Iconia A500] rodrat:
Germany and I guess Switzerland stops the rollout:

"Soeben kommentiert ACER Deutschland seinen eingenen Eintrag mit:

wegen einer ausstehenden Freigabe leider um eine Woche nach hinten verschiebt."

Acer germany miss a outstanding approval for the release -> thank you

for one week! -> thank you :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
Some more things I've noticed:

Google movie editing app also included.

New keyboard sounds?

Can scroll through the recent apps tab.

No more cellstandby in battery use.

...
[Acer Iconia A500] enricominciamo:
to make zinio works just delete the application data
[Acer Iconia A500] booze78:
Does anyone have some news about any update for Holland??
[Acer Iconia A500] chrisvane:
It doesn't appear that you can. You can now set custom directories for ebooks now though.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
For some versions, it seems to have installed Nook instead of Kobo Reader. I had Zinio before so I don't know if it was added or not. Everything else is spot on.
[Acer Iconia A500] yakafaucon:
To see if it is a new version of Zinio.. try it. If you encounter somme errors , you use the "ACER" version,not your's :(
[Acer Iconia A500] yakafaucon:
Hi,

Could you explain the things to do please ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Arashi1118:
Does that mean we no longer need to rename or delete phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk? Cause I still have both of them in my system/app folder.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Battery is crazy better, my A500 has been on for 1day and 6 hours, 6 hours have been on WiFi and i got 25% left :eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zeddicus59:
I'm sure this is a noob question but how do I use the convert Desire HD to Inspire 4G patch. I tried wiping dalvik cache and then running it but my device in settings about phone phone identity still shows as HTC Desire HD A9191.

I solved this by flashing the rom and then installing the patch from sd card before doing the initial boot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
A little more info would be nice. What ROM and what Patch? Generally though you probably just need to put the .zip on your sd card and use ROM manager to flash it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zeddicus59:
I'm using LeeDroid 3.3.0 GB with Kernal 3.2.0. I tried using the flash from card option in clockwork recovery but it didn't work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
try downloading it again, you might have got an incomplete file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
You have to flash the zip when you flash the Rom. Otherwise it won't change it
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zeddicus59:
Is there a file I can edit on the system after the affect or is there any harm leaving it as HTC Desire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zeddicus59:
What is the order to do this. Is it the rom then the patch or the patch then the rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I'm still on 3.1.5 with 3.1.6 kernel, until he fixes the bugs in 3.3.x.

But the way I flashed was loaded the ROM, the patch, and the sense patch, and in CWM I flashed the ROM, then the desire>inspire patch, then the sense 3.0 patch. My phone reads as Inspire. Also, wait for him to say that the patch is right, not sure why it's taking him loner than usual (usual is like.... a few hours) to confirm a new patch, but there are others who have had success, so try redownloading it.

Then do a wipe and reflash the ROM and that patch before rebooting the phone (Flash ROM, don't reboot, immediately flash the patch.)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermindg:
I've been attempting to flash the new OTA manually on my P100 without luck. CWM3 is installed but it's the Verizon flavor (only choice). It's not mounting the sdcard so therefore unable to read update.zip. I tried Heindall but it's not recognizing my device even after installing the drivers.

Has anybody had any luck with this? Is there an easier way to push an OTA? Mind you I don't have a Sprint data plan with this device and there is no option for update that I can see.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbajer2003:
Need to use the EA24 flasher to return to stock EA24 build then let it take the EB28 update and then using stock recovery volume up power button flash the update.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbajer2003:
By the way with GB 2.3.4 update you cannot root until they figure it out also no CWM recovery.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermindg:
Thanks for the info. Found a good guide:

Has anyone been able to use this e-reader on their TF? My library uses this program to download ePUB books on loan. I cannot get it to download the books I have checked out to my tablet. I get a browser screen full of code and OpenDrive is not triggered to run and download the DRM-locked files. Any assistance would be appreciated.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
WOW!! awesome work :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
+ 1 on that, will try it out when i have the time. Really like the 'matted blues' kind of look and tje statusbar icons ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Glad you guys like it :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] awoken:
Great thanks alot !
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Roshi69:
Do you just install all the APK's and it works? will this work on the [System] FTS V0.2 + 04 Preview [UK 145 GB 2.3.3]?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Should work on that system too :)

Check the installation guide inside the package ;)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Small fixes in framework and SemcGenericUxpRes, please download again :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
i pushed all the .apk's but on reboot, the phone process goes into a force close loop. :( and the power button resets the device rather than bringing up the power menu :confused:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FrAsErTaG:
Just to help out ive packed the latest version into a flashable update.zip for use in clockwork recovery.

Download Here (REMOVED)

P.S This is untested, all I did was package the supplied files.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Prozel:
Testing now.

EDIT: Oh, using a custom img, forget it then. :)

Though the zip installs just fine.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
That sounds weird.. Did you tried to restart?

You were probably using the Reboot mod right? Push the default android.policy.jar and framework.jar to your phone :)

Thanks, someone please test this so I can add it to the first post :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
Do I have to be rooted?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
@thomassafca there's a adb shell line in your 'how to' that is incorrect:

busybox cp -R /sdcard/SemcMusic.apk /system/framework/

It's should read /system/app/ instead of /system/framework/ ;)

Just a heads up.

Regards Dousan...

Ohh by the way it looks very slick indead, nice work mate ;)

Did it with root explorer. If anybody else does it with root explorer please remeber to move the files to /system/ first, then set permissions and then move to /system/framework/ otherwise you might end up in a bootloop. This only regards the two files going to /system/framworkl/ :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
I think so, yes.

@Dousan, thanks for the heads up! Fixed the download link :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Anyone interested in a new Settings.apk? :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
I know i am :D

Regards Dousan...

e: If nobody else is it would be cool if you pm'ed me the file. It looks awesome even more this second time i see it. It makes the modding you've done more complete ;) Really nice colour choise you've made :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Will share it tomorrow, im on my iPad now ;d

I'll also try to get rid of the blue SE background :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Great :D

One question, what's the name of the background that you changed to black in your modded apk's?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TehH4rRy:
I've installed a CRT animation onto my stock SE firmware, will this conflict with yours and mess up my phone? Or can I just overwrite it with no issue?

I recall pushing a framework-res.apk onto my phone. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065789&highlight=CRT this one infact, all I installed was the animation.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
i wanted to do a flashable zip bymself (disappointed facE)

sux about no reboot mod , it was very useful!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Haha :P

I will add the reboot option as soon as Adam releases his mod :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
i noticed something odd..maybe not theme related but

the Sony erricson theme chooser , the one when i go in settings it has the background of my selected theme now doesnt show :( its just black..plain black..can you see if yours is the same?

where to test : settings list , messaging and calls.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
It gives the best looks when the background is black. That's why I changed the background of all themes to black :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
It scared me....

But idk.. I think you should have left it as it is :(

Btw any chance of porting sense status bar to 4.0.2?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Does that mean i can have the blue sms bubbles from default theme and still have the back menu backgrrounds? :D Awesome :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
You could always upload the original DefaultThemes.apk to remove it :)

I will have a look at that later!

Yes that's it! :) I did it especially for you

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
with allllll due to respect , there is not much point going to 2.3.3 with 2.3.4 being availbile through PCCompanion and OTA ( atleast on vodafone)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
Really? I'm on UK generic and it's still no show...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
there is always the flashtool...always... and its easy enough to use : )
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
Good call. May have to update when I get home, no reason not to now we can root 2.3.4 so easily... Why have I waited so long?? Lol. Thanks cat.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
Omg that app really is a b*tch :P

Think I finally sorted it now! :)

So what do you think?

Btw, I can't seem to fix the wrong sync icon.. The app really is a mess :P

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ardana:
How do i install this? Any guides out there?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
I saw somewhere you can copy and paste it all to the right directories but using this method doesn't work, when you copy frameworkres the phone crashes ans goes into bootloop. If anyone knows a different method that will work then please share! :-)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] tekken179:
Change the permissions lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
I did. Copied to /system changed the permissions to rw, r, r then cut and paste to /system/framework. Phone crashes and infinite bootloop.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] thomassafca:
No, why don't you just update to the latest fw? :)

Widgets was ported by a guy to the Arc.. I will try to port it later because it have some bugs atm! And about the screenshot, be fast. Really fast :P

@kupo5131

Use cwm to install the zip! :)

I updated the framework-res.apk and the normal SystemUI.apk. Now the notification area will look like this:

This will be uploaded later! :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kupo5131:
I've got a locked bootloader so i can't use CWM as far as I know.
