Quadrant scores and bench marks mean nothing! How is the rom when you use it, how does it react to your 3rd party apps and customs, how is the battery life, speed etc. Benchmarks and quadrants are a mugs game mate as the scores mean nothing at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] ddelamareuk:
I completely disagree with your statement but everyones entitled to an opinion.

When OC'd to 1600 the general use seems 'sticky' with transitions only slightly but i notice the drop in fps and responsiveness etc. i havent installed anything else on it for the time being other than benchmarking utilities so that i know the raw calculations per second are actually doing something...

There are several points to benchamarking, testing stability when OC'd so that there are no issues with instructions being passed to the processors and vice versa i.e stress test and burn in, checking for heat so that the unit doesnt erupt in flames, graphical artifacts...

The OS should be stable as its running on 8 individual cores all to deal with various encoding and decoding. I can run honeycomb on these units even when the clocks are set as low as they can be and its still a pleasant experience. Im not benchmarking to make sure that the user experience is good, its for raw power when i need it, possibly for playing HD without any stuttering for example or ensuring that i get max fps on a game at 'crunch' moment.

Thanks for the input though.
[Acer Iconia A500] jasonmlit:
my battery seems to be draining like a sieve. Any ideas on improving this? I am at 1504, with the rest of the settings @ stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Same exact thing you do on a PC when overclocking to check stability. Not sure Singer has overclocked a PC before, hence his misunderstanding of what you're trying to do. On my overclocked PC's, I'll run prime running on all four cores overnight, stressing and heating up all four cores to check stability, 3d mark ( a benchmark), etc.

That being said your results are troubling at best?!?! :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Running it at 150% of stock is not reason enough? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] MichellBak:
The overclock at 1.5 GHz isn't exactly doing good for your battery life. It'll eat up a lot of battery life, so that's probably it.
[Acer Iconia A500] wilderckw:
Can someone give me a download link please for this rom. I'm new to tablets but I've worked on my evos at on. Thanks

Didn't understand what you meant so my bad mate soz
[Acer Iconia A500] :
whoah bro! He didn't state anything in an offending manner, and even thanked you. If you feel like you have nothing left to learn, you can't help others (like your post about 1080p which you have no understanding of whatsoever). No offense intended, just making an observation bro ;)

Not a problem at all bro. I'll add you to my ignore list along with others, so I don't have to read posts based on ignorance.

Peace out bro ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Fine by me geez. I don't care at all. I flash roms I use them then choose the one that works best for me. I don't proclaim to know it all nor that I am always correct. I won't add anyone to my ignore list as I am not a girl and this is a forum. If I don't like what someone has said I choose to ignore that statement. Ignore list? Damn man grow a pair. I post so the chef can hopefully see my comments and bugs. I apologise to the chef for going off topic! Now moving on..............

Can someone help I know this is a dumb question but when I go and try to flash this rom its not there. Its like it downloaded somewhere else but astro shows it right under downloads like it should. Helpppppp
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Lol its OK. The rom needs to be on an external sdcard as it won't find it on internal memory. It also needs to be in the root directory of the sdcard. Once you do that cwm will find it. Use root explorer and copy to external sdcard
[Acer Iconia A500] wilderckw:
Lol thanks. Got it flashing now.
[Acer Iconia A500] otto888:
I just flashed this ROM, and the Camera app FCs instantly. Is there any way to fix this? And Can I safely remove the Messaging APK,since I have a wifi only model?

EDIT: Found a fix... don't flash the Transformer Netflix patch.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Flashed this rom and its on a similar level to the thrive rom. Thrive seems slightly quicker but this rom is no slouch. Mp4 1080p Bourne trailer on par with galaxy rom and YouTube works fine. Testing battery as on thrive rom it was inadequate. This is a good option for those who like a vanilla experience with a few added extras. Actually works better on here than my xoom lol.

Hey

I'm using the Virtuous Xoom v. 1.1.2 ROM on my A500, and all of the sudden I can't play videos any more. The gallery just dims down when I press a movie. I've tried rebooting multiple times without any results.

I'd really rather not have to reset the device.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: All I had to do was change the UI language, and then it worked again. Odd.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Petros_tigra:
thanks for the tip....:)

I had done 3 times factory reset (the last 10 days) to get rid of that bug...

But the question is what causes it.

3G Huawei Connected but No Internet connection

Hi all, I have a Huawei 3G dongle (E1762) that managed to show 3G and registered on 3G network. But browser etc. couldn't detect an internet connection. Anyone got it to work? The same dongle works fine on other rom (e.g. Virtuous Galaxy rom) but I can't get it to work on this (version 1.0.7 - 1.1.2). Thanks in advance

I'm getting the camera force close as well... any fix for this? Tia
[Acer Iconia A500] Jsonic:
I've tried this rom about 5 times now, 3 times on 1.1.1 and 2 times on 1.1.2. I really liked it, but for some reason after a few reboots necessitated by various reasons the stock HC launcher stops showing up. rebooting doesn't help it. Wiping everything short of user data doesn't help it. Not even restoring a working backup I made of Virtuous XooM after initial installation would fix it. This forced me to use other roms. It would boot, I unlock it and all I get is a blank screen with the soft buttons and notification bar. No way to launch apps.

I don't know what this problem is but I seem to be the only one who's had it so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] sincerity:
plugged in usb mouse with this and after about aminute, it worked no problem....I found a roll-up usb keyboard that is pretty cool, but it won't recognize with this rom...any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] rkmFL:
This may be asked/answered, but I have just searched through dozens of posts in this thread about "wifi" and they all pertain to bugs.

I wondered if anyone can tell me whether this ROM at its current state (v1.1.2 + UNITY v8) has set the tablet to WIFI ONLY (to save battery life).

If not, is there something special that the user must do, to invoke the WIFI-ONLY mode?

Thank you in advance,

RKM
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Turn on "airplane mode" , then restart wifi only ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] rkmFL:
KJY-

Wow, I never knew this was possible! We've been using the Viewsonic gTab since it first shipped and had always used a ROM with this feature built-in. I had never found a way to do wifi only (airplane would eliminate both 3G *and* wifi).

Based on what you are saying this ROM will support the ability to turn ON wifi although the tablet is in "Airplane Mode" which is a huge help and something I would not have thought of, after not being able to do it on anything else! And this will accomplish the same thing as the scripts which eliminate 3G, for sake of battery life?

Thanks again, can't believe how simple of a solution it is!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
It's always worked for me. The first time you turn airplane mode on, it will shut off your wifi. Just turn wifi back on and leave in airplane mode ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] rkmFL:
Based on your suggestion, I decided to give this ROM a try (v1.1.2 + UNITY v8).

It has a very unusual issue that I've never come upon in any previous ROM. When downloading many of the apps in the market, it just hangs.

Having had bad installs in the past, I wiped everything (wipe data/factory reset ... wipe cache ... wipe dalvik) and re-installed v1.1.2

Same issue. Some apps just hang when attempting to install. For example, updating esFileExplorer, or installing Mount Manager or moboPlayer.

Anyone else run into this?
[Acer Iconia A500] sanjayayogi:
I tried this ROM again - Bluetooth Acer Keyboard still not functioning

Tried this ROM once before, no issues except my Acer bluetooth keyboard does not function. Connects but nothing shows when I am entering keystrokes.

All in all a really solid ROM excepting this issue with my Acer bluetooth keyboard which works with all other ROMs that I have tried.

Sadly I need to go to other 3.1 ROM where at least the bluetooth keyboard functions correctly unless I can get this working.

Anybody know of any way to get this working with this ROM?

Has anybody been able to get their Acer bluetooth keyboard working with this ROM?

[Acer Iconia A500] DigitalMD:
You do realize that while you might be able to play a 1080p video, the Acer A500 screen does not have enough resolution to actually display at 1080p don't you?. Hardware should be able to play 1080p through HDMI out, but I don;t know if Acer has ever fixed the software which did not support 1080p out.

Yes, I know all that and that's precisely the reason for asking ) Stock 3.1 is good enough for playing 1080p over HDMI )

Audio does not work for any video or emulators. It doesn't work for youtube either. If I play an mp3 it works fine, I searched this thread and I seem to be the only one having this problem or I suck at searching. Any ideas? Reflash the rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] kimaira:
did you do all wipes before flashing the rom ? so i think the only solution is to flash again, doing a total wipe before to have a clean tablet
[Acer Iconia A500] goldfingerfif:
I always do a full wipe, but I was on vacation when I did this so I cannot remember what I did, the rom has worked great for the last few weeks until I went to show some videos on the TV from vacation and there was no sound, through the HDMI or through the tablet with the cord unplugged.

I tried rebooting the tablet and after much experimenting could only get sound from an mp3. Never tried it with the HDMI cord again but wanted to make sure it was not an issue before I started wiping all data.

I switched to the virtuous rom after using their Sense 3.0 rom on my Inspire and have no complaints other than sense slows down the phone, not that I notice other than with a benchmark compared to Cyanogenmod. Love all the extra features implemented from the camera to the interface and the extra reboot options.
