Ok, GPS works after all. I assumed it didn't because the indicator was not flashing. All other ROMs I've used do flash.
[Acer Iconia A500] Naex:
If this happens with stock as well then you may have some bad hardware. It's just a computer after all. I'd recommend slapping stock on there, not rooting it, seeing if it crashes like you describe, then talking to Acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] fogozito:
everything was working fine but suddenly the iconia started to drain my battery, very unstable wifi, it wakes up randomly and the touch screen stops responding. i have to rebooit to make it work.

Thanks in advance.

This isn't included on the first post? I only read the first page before I came across this. I've already flashed 1.1.2. Showing A500 in system -> about phone. Seems to be running OK, but really thought this should of been included on the main page if it really is an issue.

Edit:

Maybe I misread, was there an A501 ROM included in the post? Was confused as it says "later." Which made me think there was another link.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
1.1.2 is for the A500 IINM

1.1.2 A501 is for the A501

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I just noticed. It says 1.1.2 A501 "later", so it's not even posted yet. You have the correct ROM, as there's only one d/l link up there and it's the A500 link! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dathero10:
Could you PLEASE upload those files? I need them so bad to make my usb mouse work :D thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Not to sound like someone else around here, but why can't you extract the files yourself. I pointed you to the post, would you like them spoonfed to you also? The directions are quite clear, extract the files mentioned to your ROM, and install. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dathero10:
Such a noob I am. At first I thought I'd have to flash the ROOM in order to get the files :p my fault :D Anyway, thanks for your attention and your help as well ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
You can uses winrar on a PC to extract the files from the rom ;)

Hmm,got a question,if i may.

Do i need to modify the permissions?Copied and replaced them,but uhh,the files i just placed are rw-rw-r , and one thats been there before is rw-r-r.

[Acer Iconia A500] sincerity:
trying to flash this, first attempt. Okay until he says connect tab to computer and find microsd folder...I have device storage, and a bunch of generic files, but no microsd folder...what am i missing?
[Acer Iconia A500] xtrmshadow:
Have you formatted your SD card to FAT32?

Respect
[Acer Iconia A500] sincerity:
yes, I have successfully backed up via cwm my stock otb rom, and rebooted...when i look under a file manager...it's listed under "mnt",and I see sdcard, which hsa the same files I see via windows 7 mount..but just no mnt folder or external sd folder
[Acer Iconia A500] xtrmshadow:
If ur in CWM, go to partition tools and Mount /SDcard and/or /external.

That should do the job.

Oh and btw kjy2010 :

I replaced the files and set the permissions to rw-r-r but keyboard doesnt work still >< ,would apreciate if you uploaded urs if they work.

Thanks in advance.

[Acer Iconia A500] sincerity:
ok tried that....but it says kernel does not support usb storage :confused: I understand some msd cards are sketchy with this thing, but it backs up to microsd fine, just won't mount...seems to be a different problem?

[Acer Iconia A500] xtrmshadow:
Hmm if it still doesnt work after you mounted or tried to,then just try a USB Dongle,wierd thing you got there mate.

I can only suggest taking out the microSD,reformat to fat32,reput all the files you need,and then insert it in the Tablet before turning it on and entering CWM.

Should work then,if not,do it with a USB Dongle.

Respect
[Acer Iconia A500] sincerity:
ok, tried sdformatter, format card etc....still no dice. with microsd sstill in, I inserted usb dongle, and did full backup....does this mean it chooses the usb dongle as sd card?

*edit* yes it does...wow, much easier with usb dongle. Amazing. Thanks for your advice it's flashing as we speak.
[Acer Iconia A500] xtrmshadow:
Glad it helped mate ^^

Goodluck with ur flashing and enjoy your awesome Acer Iconia ^^

Respect
[Acer Iconia A500] sincerity:

All - just tried running Netflix (http://www.multiupload.com/3A8C4GWL8R) but no go.

A friend of mine has a real Xoom and Netflix is working properly, so there must be some specific trigger (guessing build.prop?) that's perhaps blacklisted by Netflix?

Argh! Sleep of death for the 4th day in a row. Surely I am not the only one having this issue. Every morning my tablet is fine when I first take it off charge. Then the next time I go to use it it is dead. It then stays OK until the next time I take it off charge then it is dead again. I am on the latest 1.1.2

Also I notice the screen still wakes up all the time while in sleep. So the stupid thing wakes up all the time when I don't want it to and won't wake up when I do want it to. Is there anything I can do or do I have to start using a different rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] :

Just bought my Aconia today and immediately installed this ROM. Been running flawless except for the accelerometer. Noticed it in Words with Friends that it kept "flipping" the letters. Checked out one of the Maze marble labyrinth games and looked on the calibration page and it's all wonky.

I didn't test the stock rom at all before flashing/rooting, anyone else having issues with accelerometer?

[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
You still can't play them with sound in ANY rom using hardware acceleration if they have AC3 or DTS audio. The Tegra doesn't support it, it sucks!

I have to stop using this rom, the daily sleep of death is killing me and no one else seems to be having the issue so I'm not getting any help on how to fix it.

I did a full wipe before installing, so no idea what it is. I didn't get it with other roms, well not every day anyway.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I too had to drop the ROM, though for a different reason: my tablet randomly starts buzzing with the vibe at max for up to 10 seconds without any visible reason. I have no idea what is causing it, but it just got too annoying for me to continue using it.

Otherwise it's a great ROM and I'm just glad for those for whom it does work fine! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] xtrmshadow:
Np mate,Im atm downloading Virtous Thrive which you said that USB is working,will be testing in a bit ^^.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Also for everyone else : For now,the ROM works perfect for me,true that i only had it since yesterday and still gotta work around with it,but for now its cool.

Edit : It works! My USB Keyboard now is fully functioning.

I've just uploaded the files so everybody can download em :

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=84PB22XH

The Files are from Virtous Thrive,so thanks to m-deejay for building these 2 awesome ROMs and kjy2010 for giving the tips.

Guide :

1)Download the Files from the link.

2)Decompress them on your Desktop(or anywhere you like)

3)Copy both those Directories(Keychars and keylayout) in your SDcard.

4)Use Root Explorer to copy the files from keychars(sdcard) to system/usr/keychars and replace.

5)Use Root Explorer to copy the files from keylayout(sdcard) to system/usr/keylayout and replace.

6)Set permissions to ALL the file you just copied (All permissions must be rw-r-r) ,there are some files to permission so,it will take maybe 1 minute.

7)Reboot.

Now it should work,does for me.

Goodluck ,if ya need any help,ask ^^.

Now i got a question,did anyone got Shadow Guardian working on this ROM?If yes,which version have you used? Thanks

OK so my machine is dead for the 5th day in a row after taking it off charge. This time it died with the screen on though, so it's not actually sleep of death, it is freezing. The first 4 days it had died with the screen off so I thought it was sleep of death. Are there at logs I can look at that might tell me why it is freezing every day shortly after I take it off charge?

anyone else having poor wifi reception with this or any other of the latest virtuous roms? i was on an early virtuous galaxy rom and it was good and then the last update to 1.05 killed my wifi performance. i was sitting 20ft away from my router and i would not see it until i picked it up and held it in the air towards the router. even then it was terribly weak. my sensation (even with deathgrip tendencies) had a great signal in the exact same spot. ive since moved to this xoom rom as of last night and its almost exactly the same. i still need to roll back to an old nandroid backup of galaxy or picaso to really verify, but it seems like something in these newer versions is to blame; kernel or maybe wifi drivers or something. and yes, every rom was flashed after a full wipe :)

Overall seems great except now my Acer Bluetooth keyboard is not working. It says I am connected however nothing on the keyboard works.

Anybody know how to fix the?
[Acer Iconia A500] Marucha07:
I've flashed it 2 days ago, my first root, recovery-mod and flash altogether :)

Positive: no problems with WLAN (WLAN indicator shows perhaps 1/2mm less strength but the performance is OK. I'm sitting ca. 20m from router behind a really thick wall.

Bluetooth OK. GPS not tested yet.

Following Acer-Apps are missing: all the games, lumiread, clear.fi, Nemo player, Aupeo...

But there still are those (stupid) Acer-Folders (Multimedia, Games...) Don't know why...

Some apps are unusable with this ROM and are crashing: PlayerPro, the supplied Music-app (crashes when I want to get more info on interpreter in the upper right corner.) MixZing won't load the content

Overall good performance, better sound-volume and quality, good video-playback (but my HD-Videos from a Sony HX5-camera are playing only slightly better than with 3-01 Stock-ROM.

On plugging to PC the internal memory, Micro-SD AND the plugged in USB-Stick are visible and accessible :-)

A major bug popped up this morning. I opened the E-Mail-App, and klicked on a link in an E-mail to go to internet via browser. The screen got dimmed and nothing more happened. Normally, a small windows pops up and prompts me to choose a web browser. Not anymore :-(

I also noticed, that the bookmark-widget on a home-screen stopped responding to klicks.

Previously I only have installed a boot animation in data/local.

deleted it afterwards but without success.

Can anybody help? I can't live with this bug and will otherwise have to go back to backup :-(

Edit 24.7.2011

No ROM, no tablet was to blame but the person sitting in front of it :)

And Dolphin Browser. I deleted it, and the problem vanished. Installed it again and no problem still.

And this how it happened:

I remembered later that prior to the problem I have clicked a link in an opening screen of Dolphin browser, something like "Load the new Dolphin-Beta 6.0". A windows popped up prompting me too choose between (Standard)Browser, Dolphin and Market. I clicked on Dolphin, had been directed to... Market(?) which only offered me to open Dolphin, not to download a new version. I went back and forgot the thing. But that was what caused the above mentioned problematic behaviour.

Hope this helps :-)

okay, I just flashed this last night. My first on the iconia, but I have been flashing for years on my phones. Deejay's explanation of daemon overclocking is very interesting and so I have not installed setcpu, and changed my maxfreq wake to 1504000.. how can I test if my settings took? Also, what other settings should I do? I read this whole thread and found nothing on it. Can someone post their settings using the daemon method?

Thanks,

Jason
[Acer Iconia A500] :
CPU Master is a free app on the market. When installed you can add the widget that shows current CPU speed among other things to see if your settings took. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jasonmlit:
So essentially am I using CPU Master instead of SetCPU? I opened CPU Master and it had my max at 1504. Which would seem to me that my settings took effect. Any other settings that I should put in place? or leave other things to stock?

Thanks again for the help.

-jason
[Acer Iconia A500] :
No, SetCpu has many more advanced settings than CPU Master. I was just letting you know that if you use the CPU Master "Widget" you can monitor the CPU Speed rather easily.

It was to answer your question about seeing if your settings took effect. ;)

Hi MDJ!

Just an FYI, i am trying most of the ROM's available at the moment just for sheer raw processing power and when benchmarking this Rom, when OC'd at 1600Mhz im getting a lot of strange results.

There are some good gains showing up on the usual benchmarking apps from the market from 1000-1200, 1200-1400 respectively however in going from 1400-1600 the unit runs fine, not even hot however these speeds are actually dropping the performance, going by the benchmarks (Best of 3)

If you need the details (i have screenies) let me know, however being clocked at 1600 was actually giving me about 5% drop in performance over the Roms stock clock settings! I've kept it at 1400 due to the insane quadrant scores of approaching 4k. :D
