Hey deejay I got back to the v galaxy tab rom and best of all ... All the apps from your new thrive work on the g tab rom WOOHOO. lol the app store didnt work on your thrive rom however when I tired it ....but the app place works on the g tab rom cool bean. New project idea. Super duper Rom man. Put all the apps from all your tab roms on my mega rom. It would be amazing. Food for thought. Keep up the awesome work
[Acer Iconia A500] :
just updated, installed once again with VP browser.apk so I don't have to set UA string.

All appears to be working great deejay. There may be a few minor bugs, but I can't find them.

YOU ARE THE MASTER CHEF bro! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse work perfectly. If anyone has tested a bluetooth keyboard, please post your outcome?

I'd like to get my nephew on this rom tonight, and he loves his bluetooth keyboard.

TY ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
This one worked (1.0) remarkably well and other then distorted sound, not many issues at all. I will try 1.02 when i get back home. Good job on this one (and all of the ROM's).
[Acer Iconia A500] kerrhome:
Not quite

The screen is not plastic. It's glass. The manual states this and it's been verified by their forum. Someone even took it through a nasty scratch test and there wasn't a mark on it.

You do sacrifice some wight and thickness for ports. Just slightly bigger than the Xoom, except stuff works. SOD doesn't bother me as I have wifi on all the time, but they say they'll have it fixed shortly. To each his own right? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
toshiba SODs its kernel related issue. wifi
[Acer Iconia A500] :
For a sec i thought this was released for the desire hd lol wrong thread, can u port this to dhd? Im guessing no but no harm in asking
[Acer Iconia A500] XBoxD00D:
No offense intended, but.......

If that's a "glass" screen, then I'm George Washington. I played with them all at Best Buy, and I don't care what the "manual" says, it's plastic, or acryic, but there,s no way in h3ll that it's glass. Just tap your fingernail to the screen to know it's plastic, even a monkey can tell the difference. :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
didnt see here Toshiba :D

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list
[Acer Iconia A500] XBoxD00D:
OK, my first flash on my new tablet was your Virtuous Xoom ROM DJ, it was fast, stable, and dependable. I'm gonna give this one a shot and see. TY for all your hard work! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] kerrhome:
OK, then you must be right and their website and documentation are wrong. I guess I should have come here before I bought one. ;) Thanks for setting that straight.
[Acer Iconia A500] kerrhome:
Documentation doesn't say Gorilla Glass. Says glass. I don't think plastic can take this kind of torture: youtube.com/watch?v=KY0yZDta6cQ

From the manual:

from page 49 of the user manual-

"The screen is made of glass so avoid contact with sharp, rough, orabrasive objects or substances as screen may break or scratch if nothandled properly. If you see a crack in the glass, discontinue use ofthe device to avoid injury.​

The Thrive's other short-comings are enough without making up non-existent ones right? (Sleep of Death, weight, thickness, SD card works.... oh wait)
[Acer Iconia A500] sda.171:
Wow man thats great to noe xD

Would like to noe things if you can tell me=

1. When you say wireless keyboard, do you mean wireless keyboard using the usb dongle?

2. Does wired usb keyboard work? Have you tried it yet?

Thanx alot in advance buddy xD.
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
So I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've wiped system and factory reset then installed from, then it gets stuck on the boot screen, so I did it three more times and its the same issue
[Acer Iconia A500] sda.171:
Flashed and it is the BEST rom i have used till now! :D

Loving it!

-Sound is great!

-Camera is great!

-Toshiba add-ons great!

-Usb keyboard great!

-Usb mouse great!

-Toshiba media player great!

List goes on :D-

PROBABLE BUGs: After installing any widget from the market, it does not appear to be selected in the list but is after a reboot-

Available space for me is 46gb lol I have a 32 gb tablet and 2 gb SD for cwm :p

No sleep bug for me-

KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK :D
[Acer Iconia A500] :
USB wireless keyboard and mouse do work (yes using usb dongle).

Still waiting on word about bluetooth keyboard though. I'm assuming it does, but want to make certain.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Can you elaborate just a little please?

Tough to answer a question with little to no facts ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Actually, you probably should have done your homework before purchasing, then you wouldn't have an overpriced brick in your hands that doesn't want to wake up after it goes to sleep.

I owned the Thrive, and it didn't take me long to realize that just because Toshiba "may" have a better reputation in the laptop market, doesn't mean they know cr@p about tablets.

So you paid $130.00 more for a thick brick than the Iconia, does that make you smart?!?

Would you like someone that owns an A500 to validate your purchase for you? If so, don't look here, we have everything your tablet has (external USB, external SD, HDMI out, same spec cameras, etc), and the Iconia has "gorilla glass", not a plastic screen, all at currently $130.00 less than what you paid for that heavy, thick POJ.

I posted a link on your forums, hoping there was a DEV over there that might learn something about your brick.

So, if you want to brag about it, go to thriveforums.org with the rest of the fanboyZ, where I'm certain they'll validate your reasoning or lack thereof.

Peace bro ;)

PS: DeeJay took care of your Thrive Sleep Bug that the Official Toshiba Devs are still struggling with. Have them hop over here and learn something??
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ok back to the thread topic at hand. I haven't been able to find a bug yet? I'm sure someone will come up with a 3G usb problem or something like that, but for what I use my tablet for, it's the best ROM out so far.

TY again deejay! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
I downloaded rom, did factory reset formatted system then installed rom, all I get is the boot logo and I let it sit there for 20 minutes then redid the whole process, I've never had this issue before
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ok I've been using these rules of thumb to installing ROMs since I found them here on the forums. I can't remember who posted them, so I have no idea who to give credit to (please forgive me).

I copied them into a text file so I wouldn't lose them, although they're all memorized by now.

Here they are (and if it was your post, please step in and take credit for them):

"Before installing:

Boot into CWM

1/wipe cache

2/wipe data/factory reset

Advanced menu next:

3/wipe dalvik

4/wipe battery stat

5/mount & storage menu ... formats (system, data, cache )... leave SD card alone.

... REBOOT back into CWM and install the zip ( new rom ) file !

Once done installing... reboot back again into the CWM and repeat steps #1 - #4 only ( this is to assured that you are cleaned 110% in regard to the NEW rom that you have just installed )

DO NOT DO THE STEP #5 AFTER THE INSTALLATION !

and now you can boot normally and will be greeted with the initial screen to begin setting up your tablet...etc"

Let us know how it goes please? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
is it possible to take the multimedia enhancements from this rom to another?

i.e. take it and install it on the ASUS 1.0.8?

thanks

MG
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Thank you I will keep those in mind for the future, I hadn't read ur post yet and tried again my way after downloading again, I just factory reset and format system but being extra sure is always good too :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
Im having a problem and not sure how to get around it. Cant find SD in Storages or MNT anything. Coming from Thrive 1.0 since i coulndt see the SD card to copy the 1.01 and i needed to install xoom and copy the file. How the heck do you see the SD with this one? I never ever had a problem before today.. kind of a pain. Now i loaded Thrive 1.01 but still it doesnt see the SD with HD Explorer, dual Explorer, etc..
[Acer Iconia A500] :
It was in a previous post by deejay after the update. "mnt"..."sdcard-disk0"

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
I know what it says, but its not there! there is no MNT anything.. Im either missing something, or it's different for me for some reason.

I click home in HD explorer but i didnt see any mnt folder.
[Acer Iconia A500] jessejames44:
Try rootexplorer it free.:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Sorry, I rarely use HD Explorer, but just checked it out.

From "Home" icon....click "Up" icon, and then "sdcard-disk0".

Just did it myself, so I know it's there ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jessejames44:
So hows the battery life after you test today:D
[Acer Iconia A500] :
About as good as the VX ROM. No surprises rearing their ugly heads up in battery usage. About 7 hours today on a fresh charge, mostly posting on forums, doing research, etc. (light stuff).

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Sound issue was fixed with a patch, see first post.

Sometimes it's taken over 24 hours for my browser to synch bookmarks no matter which ROM I'm on (even stock for that matter). I'm going to give it until tomorrow before calling a browser synch problem, as I just did a wipe, format, and install of 1.01 in the wee hours of this morning ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Don't see all my pics in gallery, just a few :-( but show up in root explorer
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
I got it. Thanks! Mistake was I thought Home took you Home, i didnt think to press home again. Then all that stuff was.. wow this makes a huge difference because there was no way to copy the file previously and like i said, needed to go to Xoom load it just to see the files to copy.

Now i can check this out again, i liked it, and even play solitaire last night, but i really like the Galaxy interface too. Our's is better then the REAL Galaxy, EXCEPT and a BIG EXCEPT, the real one is half this size and alot lighter.. I wonder if i put this into the paper shredder.....
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I found the galaxy to put a bit more drain on the battery than This ROM or VX ROM. But the eyecandy, transitions, etc are sweet on the Galaxy port. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
What is VX?
[Acer Iconia A500] thislight87:
Virtuous xoom
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
updated 1-st post.

audio fix included to Full Rom
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Not much work needed to be done on this one! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I guess either not too many people are using this ROM, or there is nothing wrong with it? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
BUmp Bump? is this possible?

MG
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
well

need more info about it

because so far i dont see the avantage of this rom
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol MG, you need to start cooking your own ROMs bro! When you come up with a Super ROM, let us know! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
one possible issue with this rom and 1.0 is sleep. I had 74% last night when i stopped using it and when i came home it was 2% It was working with the same TB with Xoom and Samsung so not sure what is going on. I did notice once when i was watching it, it woke up with the screen on, then never turned off which would be an issue but not enough peoeple using this to get enough data.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Let's see, no eyecandy (virtuous galaxy), no Droid 3.2 (virtuos xoom), I guess there is no reason to use it? :confused:

Oh yeah, I forgot, it's the most stable 3.1 ROM out.

I guess that doesn't appeal to many ppl. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
And you haven't updated to 1.01 yet?!? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
what i mean is

galaxy got the eye candy (the one i use )

xoom the 3.2

except for been stable like acer base rom what else

battery wise is it better the samme or worse

is it easy to mod

how about video playback

ect..ect..
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
No, i did, thats the one with the issue, i sometimes talk in riddles. Since all the bat was dead, i been recharging past few hours, should be about done.
[Acer Iconia A500] Clacky:
Just installed the rom @ Work at the moment so I can't test properly. Will post feedback when I get home.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Acer base ROM stable? Hmmm did you purchase a different tablet than the rest of is? lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:
After 3 hours usung this rom I just csn say I'm very happy. It's very stable and has so many cool features. Multimedia it's a must! Thank you m-deejay!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I've had mine wake up once when it was charging just a few minutes into sleep mode, I just put it back to sleep and it stayed there. I put mine to sleep today (not charging) for about five hours, came back with only 1% less battery. Not sure what's up? Like I said, even though it's not 3.2, it's still more stable than any other ROM I've used, including stock 3.01, and Stock 3.1. Nothing fancy, just a good stable ROM. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
well for me the acer base rom from vache is very stable

so what is so special about this one please do tell me
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Video playback is what you'd expect, certainly better than stock, battery is better than stock also, but you're using VG, the eyecandy battery sucking ROM. Nothing wrong with that, as it's all about personal preference. I just prefer a more stable, less battery draining ROM.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
well that is what i want to ear from you

now you make me want to try it again (i did try the first version but usb and sd did not work back then)
[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:
I think is not an issue, but I can't play all the music stored in my external sd. I think it happens because Thrive has not an external sd slot right?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Yes they do, in fact it's a full sized SD slot, not micro. I couldn't play music off my external SD on any ROM so far including stock. Do you know of one that does? Not that I use my tablet as an mp3 player, but it would be nice to know which ROM does. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
That was corrected within hours of the initial release. This ROM has had only two iterations and has the least amount of issues out afaik?!? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
wel u have a problem mine play just find from ext-sd with all the rom i have try so far

dont know this rom will tell u later
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Let us know how it goes. It's nothing fancy, but it's stable as h3ll! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:
You are right, yes they do have a slot for sd card. All my music is stored in my external sd and with all the other roms I tried I used to play music from my external sd card without problems. When I just open music payer all the songs were enable to play. With this awesome rom I just can play music stored in internal storage.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Which ROMs please?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
There ya go, and thank you. Like I said, I don't use my tab as an mp3 player. Let's hope deejay reads this and can fix it. Ty for the feedback ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:
Thanks for a quick reply man! May mdeejay read this and help me. Have you ever tried virtuous xoom? Is it good? Why it has just 170mb?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I just tried it. While the stock music player does not read the external sdcard, you can play music from the external SD card. Navigate to the external sdcard using any file explorer ( I tested with HD explorer, and root explorer), click the file, and it will ask you which player you want to use. I played it using all three of the choices just fine. So the stock player does not load the external SD card, but you can still play off of the external SD card. Deejay.......where are you? lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
VG VX taboonay 1.5 stock

yep comfirm the media player do not see the ext-sd on this rom
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Xoom is a very good ROM. The reason it's so small is there is very little bloatware in the ROM. Not much in the way of extra software. It's my second favorite ROM so far. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Yes, I just confirmed that as well. Once again, let's hope deejay gets a fix out for it. TY for confirming it. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jradev:
This morning I found the tablet with non-responsive touchscreen. Only reboot helped.

Flashed yesterday with full wipe - dalvik, cache, data etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] jessejames44:
If I'm not mistaken it doesn't read video either that's why I went back to galaxy v1.0.5.:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Mount and storage menu ....format system, data, and cache as well?
[Acer Iconia A500] jradev:
CWM main menu -> wipe

Advanced -> wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats

Then flashed

My understanding is that wipes everything
[Acer Iconia A500] :
While the stock player may not initially read the external SD card, like I've already stated, you can navigate to your external SD card using any explorer, click the file, and choose which player you'd like to use to play it in, including the stock player. I've never used a stock player to watch a movie in, I use rock player lite. It plays all my movies just fine. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
this was taken from someone else's post, and I can't remember who to give credit to , but here's how I do a complete wipe and format:

"Before installing:

Boot into CWM

1/wipe cache

2/wipe data/factory reset

Advanced Menu:

3/wipe dalvik

4/wipe battery stat

Mount and Storage Menu

5/format (system, data, cache )... leave SD card alone.

... REBOOT back into CWM and install the zip ( new rom ) file !

Once done installing... reboot back again into the CWM and repeat steps #1 - #4 only ( this is to assured that you are cleaned 110% in regard to the NEW rom that you have just installed )

DO NOT DO THE STEP #5 AFTER THE INSTALLATION !

Reboot system into initial Android greeting screen."

It may be overkill, but I've yet to get most "bugs" that others get on initial install ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jradev:
Thanks,Ill try. Btw, does this mean that doing this you haven't experianced the SOD on stock/VX?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
The last VX I used was ver 1.1.1, and no SOD for me. I was already on VT by the time 1.1.2 came out, so I can't confirm that version. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
mobo and stock player play video just fine

drive mount work just fine

polaris office FC (even with the right lib install)

asus weather work good

samsung ebook work

so far it is a good rom now only thing to test is battery life
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Polaris Office comes preinstalled with this ROM, no need to install any lib. I use it all the time on this ROM, no FC on any app. You do a full wipe and format prior to install? ;)

Off to bed (yawn)
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
my bad about polaris error comme from me

now go to bed and see ow is the battery when i get up

battery at 70% wifi off
[Acer Iconia A500] mumazz:
adb install issuse??!!
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
well

after 5 hours of just doing nothing

the battery drop 1%

so i just look around in the setting menu still no wifi for about 5 to 10 min and battery drop another 4%

so if i compare to all the other rom i have try so far

this one is in the top 3 for bettter battery usage
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
After my issue the other night, i tried the same exact settings, same apps, etc. The only difference was, i turned WIFI off (and still in airplane mode) and thats when i lost the whole battery in 18 hours (without any use), but last night everything was exactly the same but i left wifi on and it only dropped 3 or 4% so maybe the apps (email?) could have been trying over and over to get a connection and wasted the battery?
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
just for testing, tonight, turn your tablet wifi off and leave everything as is and see how if it has a battery leak, i'm thinking this is the issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
If it's your "email" app, and not "gmail", that would make perfect sense. The only email.I have setup on mine is gmail.I fully charged mine before going to bed last night, put it to sleep, and woke up with 97%. ;)

PS: mine is always in airplane mode, and I have my WiFi set to disconnect on sleep.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Just woke up this morning to find my browser finally hit synch. It took a few days, so I don't think it's the ROM, I believe it's a "Google" glitch. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Elaborate please?? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] armukhtar:
guys.. just want to ask the audio quality srs it it much better than dolby mobile?
[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:
The sound quality it's so cool in this lovely rom! I liked a lot!!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
+1 !!!!! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCO303:
Taking the plunge!

Well todays the day I give this bad boy a shot. I have used VG and VP and I must say the VP has been my favorite out of the two. VG is pretty but I think its a little bit too pretty for me. I LOVE VP but for some reason I started having this strange issue with it not connecting to wifi which doesn't make a lick of sense considering its been running flawlessly on my a500 for about a week now with no problems.

I figured with the wifi issue and VP not getting much love on the updates lately ;) it would be a good time to try VT.

High ho..high ho..its off to flash we go!
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
I use Exchange server, but it was in NEVER get email (unless i open it) but it was like that last night when it was much better, but like i said, only difference was that had WIFI off (from a toggle widget). When i get home from work today i will see what it is and be able to judge much better.
[Acer Iconia A500] ryanb0225:
Has anybody noticed any issues with the Camcorder? I keep getting a FC
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper44:
DEVS...Find anything that would help ROOT the Thrive?????

Question for all developers.

Did you guys/gals find anything in the thrive ROM as you took it apart and patched it for the Iconia, that would lead the Toshiba THRiVE Community into finally achieving ROOT?

We haven't been accepted on to XDA yet.

Most efforts I've seen so far are happening here:

http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/forum.php

Please Let us know, or let me know and I will pass it along.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Deejay doesn't have the img src for this ROM yet. If someone can get it to him, I believe he could get it rooted. He asked me if I had it a few days ago, but I returned my Thrive after three days. Entirely too heavy and thick for me.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ryan, I've had no FC on any program, including the camcorder. I just used it yesterday to record, and then edit a video in the native editor just to see how it was. No issues.

Gotta ask, did you do a complete wipe, AND "format" before installing?

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
91% battery when i got home, so it lost VERY little .. very good. now i gotta test with wireless off and see if it loses again.. very happy though.
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper44:
LOL Definitely to Each their Own

I had the weight concern too, but after trying out a couple others, i prefered the rubber back and soft corners, to the slippery backs and sharp edges in the hand of many of the others...Iconia and transformer were close tho.

Thanks for the quick Reply...

...Does the ROM fix some of the USB connection issues for the Iconia? The dang THRiVE has read every device I've connected to it so far except for my DROID1...figures
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Have you pulled your cover off yet to look at your battery. That back has no rubber coating on it at all (although it feels like it). It's a VERY thin plastic back.

All USB and SD card reading fine, although the stock media readers don't see the USB or sdcard.

If I want to watch a movie on my sdcard, or usb, I just go into explorer and click start the file ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper44:
Definitely not Rubber Agreed or if it is, Its Hard as plastic...Just doesn't slip if hands are sweaty, I found myself readjusting my hold on the transformer over and over as it slowly slipped, I'd rather have the weight...Really didn't have the time to judge the Iconia enough, I know a few friends that LOVE THEIRS...In fact I was just emailing one this link...

If we do Get the THRiVE rooted what Do we want to cannibalize from Iconia in terms of programs? or better yet any APKs you recommend I find?
