i wiped galaxy and install thrive with breeze

it was amazingly fast IMHO, however i have some few points need to point out. (i followed the flashing steps above - thanks alot!)

1. after resuming the tab from sleep, the screen is non-responsive. i had to reboot and it never happened again (for now atleast)

2. checked storage volume via settings and was surprised to see that it shows total space of 29.72gb and then the free space was more than 40gb :eek: i dont know why but when i checked it again, it is okay now.. weird

3. pushed 1080p mp4 video downloaded from youtube (pc to a500) and it wont play fine. keeps lagging behind the sound and is somewhat like skipping (tried built in video player, toshiba player, mobo player, even es player)

4. pushed 720p mp4 video again from youtube it plays fine but the sound is not in sync when used with toshiba player (worked fine with other player)

5. pushed 720p MKV file and can be played by mobo player however the audio is not in sync

6. i guess the audio fix on the first page is the solution for number 5 but i dont know what to do with it (any help is much appreciated)

i'm really satisfied with this rom because it is wayyy faster than the first two that i have tried (picasso and galaxy - i really like the mini apps from galaxy esp the task manager)

TIA!

regards from the Philippines! :D

I also had the screen freeze on me and had to use the reset to restart it.

Im not getting good 1080p or 720p playback either. I had much playback on the xoom. But I do like this build other than a few things..
[Acer Iconia A500] :
One thing I can think for sure. If you're trying to play 1080p natively on your tablet, it'll never work, as the screen Res is not 1080p. Now it's supposed to output 1080p via HDMI to a TV, but most ROMs won't even do that. SCMIIW, but even the stock ROM won't do it to a 1080p TV.

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Are you playing 1080p right on the tablet? You are aware that the screen Res is just above 720p and not 1080p correct? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mdeejay:
who rated all my threads 4 stars?

wtf?
[Acer Iconia A500] brianhill023:
I am able to play h-264 720p without any lag but no sound at all. Tried multiple players: mobo, Toshiba media player, mvideoplayer....qqplayer has sound but very laggy. The others run perfect but absolutely no sound. Do I need to update something or wait for an update for the rom. I have already installed the audio fix for the thrive rom
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol someone like your roms bro!

Is that a bad thing? lol :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I found that at first as well. One of my players had turned down the volume. I started the video in rock player lite, turned the volume back up in settings and all was well ;)

long day...goodnight! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] ddelamareuk:
The ROM seems very good and stable, smooth also.

I havent managed to benchmark this yet but hopefull of good scores...

The only issue i have at the moment is enabling my huawei 3g dongle on the OS?

I've looked at various, now retired, dongle threads and cannot really see anythinig of use or at least that i understand.

Do i need to create a custom APN for O2 Germany or should this just simply work 'Plug and Play' style?

If i can get this going, i'll be a happy chappy!! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
I tried the Bourne ultimatum 1080p trailer but it dropped a few frames. This tablet is capable of playing HD 1080p as promised by Acer natively in official 3.1 release. Screen Res has no effect on playback just hardware and software used to play it. Galaxy rom plays HD 1080 flawlessly and so does xoom and all using Acer iconia.
[Acer Iconia A500] jhearrtot:
Up for my question

Up for my question esp on number 6!

@mdj - many thanks for your efforts with these roms, you're the best for me!

@kjy2010 - yo man thanks for the quick reply! you've been very helpful on this thread. keep it up! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
No idea and it was me.
[Acer Iconia A500] jhearrtot:
this is exactly what i'm pointing out. i was never able to play 1080p movies without any lags on any rom including the stock 3.1

if i may just ask, what player did you used in galaxy to play 1080p movies flawlessy? i tried it with mobo player and it is somewhat lagging behind or skipping few seconds on the movie..

TIA
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Used stock video player. Mp4 1080p Bourne ultimatum trailer
[Acer Iconia A500] jhearrtot:
after playing with this rom for a few hrs, i have already decided to go back to galaxy rom.

first of all - i love how fast this rom is and that's it.

2. i miss the toolbar quick settings from galaxy esp the screenshot and the task manager

3. orientation off/on on this rom is slow, imho

4. im not that satisfied with video playback with 1080p and 720p on this rom (sorry)

i guess there's alot of room for improvement with this rom, and i'm looking forward to that! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dathero10:
I think he meant he deserved 5 stars LOL :p I think he does deserve it, anyway :D
[Acer Iconia A500] ddelamareuk:
This ROM is lightning quick!! :eek: The more i use it, the more i realise its just whipping everything into shape to get what needs done, done... there and then! Very impressed!! Thanks Dev!!!!!!

[Acer Iconia A500] :
How do you play a 1920 x 1080 movie on a 1280 x 800 screen

I'm sooo looking forward to this answer, because it's certainly not full screen! ;)

It's promised to output 1080p out to a 1080p tv

Edit: Now if the player somehow scales it down to play at 720p resolution, that may very well be, but the fact remains that you can't fit 1920 x 1080 pixels on a 1280 x 800 screen, it's impossible!
[Acer Iconia A500] ryanb0225:
Has anybody been having troubles with their GPS lately...yes the GPS is sketchy on most tablets but it worked quick when I had Picasso...also does anybody have problems with External HD's?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Iirc the GPS.conf was changed to EU in the update on this ROM. You need to edit the GPS.conf and change it to "us.pool" . For your external HDDs d/l "drivemount" from the market. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
I don't post what I haven't done mate. I have the Bourne ultimatum video on my internal hdd and try it as a bench mark for videos on every rom I flash. I play it on the Samsung port and it plays flawless full screen. I try it on this rom it misses a few frames but still watchable. I don't proclaim to be a dev mate I just use roms and try everything out. Though I get your logic the fact remain the video plays whether it should or not. Period
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Back on topic

Been using the thrive rom for just under 24 Hrs and battery could be better. Already commented on video playback and its nice that YouTube rew/fwd works without issue as it should. Quite surprised how well the Asus email and weather widget work with this. Also the live water wallpaper adds a bit of style. I like the speed this rom offers so will use for now. Swerving the xoom rom as I have a xoom wfi model with 3.2 on it. Its a shame virtuous Picasso was dropped but hope to see a refresh as Asus 3.2 is out soon
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Then it has to scale it down, because it's physically impossible to play a 1920 x 1080 video full screen natively on a 1280 x 800 screen. You can't push more pixels into a screen than it has ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Who cares really? It works and that's what matters to me. Don't care how it does :-) when using Acer based roms like honeyvillian and taboonay it doesn't even play. Slide show is all you get!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Not trying to get into a pissing match bro. Just saying that your statement as follows is false and misleading to others. ;)

"This tablet is capable of playing HD 1080p as promised by Acer natively in official 3.1 release. Screen Res has no effect on playback just hardware and software used to play it."
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
1080p mp4 video play on this tablet and that's a fact! I have done it. I am not referring to HDMI out to TV mate. I have done it. As for pissing match mate you don't know me and I don't proclaim to know anything. Right you made your point so cool! Now move on
[Acer Iconia A500] :
just in case there are people wondering about 1080p video playback, hardware decoding, etc. 'Werectf" did a great thread on it in great detail, including how to transcode movies via handbrake. (truth vs. shingers BS lol)

[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Sad sad git literally! My BS don't matter as I have nothing to prove. Lol and lol some more. Get over it mate. Big girl putting a man on ignore list lol some more. Geez why put me on ignore list yet still comment on what I said. Lol again. At least give me a chance to defend myself lol. Anyway I don't care about trancoding or nothing else all I know is my 1080p Bourne ultimatum mp4 plays but with few missed frames. That's all I said. Also my 1080p video of amir khan vs zab Judah avi also plays.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Oh it's so nice seeing the attached instead of BS lol ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Lol what an idiot. Makes out on here that he knows it all and jumps on every post. He makes a remark about me but hides from my reply. Coward period. Grow a pair geez and grow up my god. I may have got something behind video playback wrong but fact remains it works. Don't really wanna get into how it plays so if that makes what I said BS then cool. Funny how now I chat BS but I actually helped him before as well as him telling others that I may be able to help them. This is a free environment to express our opinions. No one can come against what you say as to you its right. Express yourself people and ignore idiots who act like they are smarter than you. I am no dev and I don't profess to know anything at all.

Bluetooth and Pair but not Connecting.

I am able to Pair my Iconia to my Dinc but not connect any ideas on what to do with this. Im at a loss with this one....
[Acer Iconia A500] XBoxD00D:
I'm laughing so hard right now, that it's tough to type roflol :eek:

One would have to question not only your sanity Singer, but your mental acuity also!

1) It's impossible to have 1080p videos play at 1080p (full Res) on a 720p screen.

2) You know that kjy can't read your posts, yet you continue to post to him ( that's where your sanity, or lack thereof come into question).

No offense intended M8, but do you have 2 active brain cells in your head to rub together, or are you nothin' but a fanboy?

Back to reading posts, adding you to the same list that I have floatngfatman on, that reserved for the truly ignorant drivel spewing toads.

Cheers M8! :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] XBoxD00D:
Just curious, what the heck is a Dinc? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] XBoxD00D:
Ok , been on this ROM for more than a few days now. While it's the most stable cooked ROM out for the Iconia, the infamous sod is still present.

It's worse when you're charging and put to sleep (happens more often than not).

Every once in awhile, when I leave it in sleep mode for a few hours, I'll come back to a popsicle tablet (completely frozen).

Anyone else experiencing this?

Tia :)
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
Dinc is a Droid Incredible Phone And My tablet froze one time right after I flashed it but never again. The only thing I don't like about this build is my external SD card doesn't show up on my computer.And it did with the Xoom Rom. But I can get around that.
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
I dunno, but i think a "droid incredible" has a better ring then a "Dinc" :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Lol yah, not sure I'd call my phone a dinc either ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] wannaback:
I don't know what happen. My A500 gets the same problem !
[Acer Iconia A500] snyph3r:
There's an icon in the notification bar turn the SD card off, is there a way to get rid of this without unmounting the card? And if I unmounted it, how do I mount it again without rebooting?
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
I asked same question, when you look at the tech specs, they are exactly the same.

Acer has betterconnectivity, i.e usb port, butter accepted hdmi, sd card etc etc, transformer has better screen and gourilla glass and better stock roms.

given that the rom makes no difference as the devs here port everything to every other device, you can run an asus rom on the acer (which is sweet btw...)

so taking the stock rom out of the pic there is not much to chose from, hardware it the same, same processor/ram/rom etc

personally, i have a zagg screen protector, logitech bluetooth keyboard for android 3.0, and a leather filo case which was all bought for $50 less than getting the Keyboard dock for the transformer.

IMO, with the items i have purchased, the a500 is better value by far
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
What a drip gosh! Get a life dude! Quite sane and quite smart too! He chose to ignore me and as a coward keeps posting replies to my posts knowing i cant come back at him. When this rom kicked off there were no a_holes in here but now theres 2! Sorry xda if i broke the rules by saying that but i needed to period. Fact remains that the bourne trailer which is full hd plays on this rom. Now whether it is called down to 720p i dont care but dont be telling people it is incapable when i actually have watched it. It is the same vid which reviewers used to condemn the acer a500 when it was released. Also acer states on their own website the with 3.1 will come full 1080p playback support which was not possible with 3.0.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] fxandrei:
im really not sure if u answered my question.

i want a straight answer.

is it possible to play 720p mkv files on the acer iconia with any version of stock/xda rom ?

if so, witch one ?!

im asking this because in every review i checked (about the iconia) it had huge problems when it came down to media files (hd movies) of different formats.

can u please help me with this.

can u be elaborate in ur answer if u can.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
As stated by some of the others guys on paper it does not play 1080p but should handle 720p without a hitch. The native acer drivers however are not the best hence the bad reviews received. However with the custom roms i have used mainly galaxy and asus based picasso have better drivers hence better playback results. As i have stated i have played the bourne trailer which is full 1080p mp4 and it plays without a hitch on galaxy and a few missed frames on thrive and xoom. It does not play full screen but in cinema format
[Acer Iconia A500] 18.4009:
I was having the same issues with the galaxy port and xoom port. Was driving me crazy! I love m-deejays work and miss running the galaxy port in many ways but I flashed honeyvillain for fun and it runs very very nice without any sod issues. All I can think of is its a kernal issue.

[Acer Iconia A500] fxandrei:
im talking about other types of hd files.

i know it plays mp4 files.

i was wondering about mkv files.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
As i said i had this dispute with some guy and they stated that 720p mkv files plays without a hitch.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Question, as MKVs are generally used for high def rips, ie720p, and 1080p blue ray rips, why would you want to watch a high def rip on a 1280 x 800 screen? If you're talking about outputting them through HDMI to a TV, then get yourself a wd media player for $45.00 and play whatever files you can throw at it through HDMI to a 1080p TV.

This is a tablet, not a htpc (home theater PC). Sometimes I wonder why ppl are purchasing a tablet, when in fact what they want is a network media player.

Next Gen tablets with Tegra 3 will do everything you need them to, whereas this Gen falls just a bit short.

In fact the leaked specs for the Tegra 3 tablet by Samsung states a 2560 x 1600 display (even higher than 1080p).

And Motorola's next tablet is rumored to have a 2048 x 1536 display with Tegra 3!

Maybe you should wait a couple months before purchasing a tablet. That way you'll have one that will do everything but the dishes for you ;)

nice...although i wouldnt recommend buying a WD player, I had one for a month and it was total crap...ended up putting it in the microwave and sending it back as broken!!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Lol guess it might depend on which model you got. I have two personally here at the house, one for each TV. Have 4 or 5 friends that have them, and have bought two family members them as gifts. All ours work great!

You might have just gotten a lemon, as mine plays 1080p mkvs, mp4s, everything I've thrown at it. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
I 3 different WDTV Live, also hacked the firmware on it and removed all the WD rubbish and had some pretty cool features on it, including web interface, ftp samba etc etc.

I found the Unit was losing settings when it was powered down, i.e swapping from 1080p to 720p, it was constantly losing the network settings.

If it was left on to long it would disconnect from the network and wouldn't recognize again until the router was rebooted.

I am a huge WD fan but the WDTV players are ass!!

going back to the thread"s topic........is there a way to get rid of the sd card icon on the task bar wihout un mounting it?
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
That is a feature of the actual rom so may not be possible. Its also in the transformer rom too. I have hit it a few times in error i must admit and dont like it :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Yeah, I never understood the whole "network movie streaming" thing mentality (no offense intended). I have the simple player, no network streaming involved. I want to watch a movie, I copy it to a thumb drive, pop it in the back of the player, and off I go. Works great, and like I said it plays anything I can throw at it. My friends all have 1Tb drives hooked up via USB, and play them off of there.

In all the reviews I've read, the biggest negative on the different brands, is the whole network issue (streaming movies).

To each his own, but one thing for certain, the Iconia is not a network movie streamer (primarily), and then ppl piss and moan because it doesn't do it. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Really?!? You can always go back to stock if your biggest complaint is a tiny little icon that you're displeased with! :p
[Acer Iconia A500] snyph3r:
Lol, not complaining bro, just asking if it is possible...thats all......
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
that is the thing, i had 2 x 2tb drives attached by usb so there was no streaming involved, it was just youtube!!

anyway i got rid and i now have a laptop connected to the tv via HDMI....now that gives HD movies!! 2 x nVidia GForce Cards lol

but you are right about idiots thinking that these tablets should be able to stream HD movies throigh HDMI to a tv when the res is only 1280x800!

[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
I also just copy a couple of movies on my card and watch them on my lunch break in my van.Then get some more when i'm done. I wouldn't want to try and stream movies through my cell phone anyway. I think Verizon would not be happy about that...

A lil EXT4 help pretty please with strawberry syrup on top!

Ok so I know the rule of not asking something thats been explained and I have spent the past two days researching this subject but I'm missing a few steps I believe.

So I am looking to put an EXT4 partition on my SD card and so far I have made it far enough to make a bootable USB with GParted which did allow me to format the stick in EXT4 however I'm getting an error that it needs a second partition so Im just a little bit confused.

I'm going to do more research and probably go back into GParted to see if I find any other options for EXT4 partitioning but if someone whos already done this could shed a lil light and speed this process up a bit I would be hella grateful!

Thanks in advance,
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Esco, you might have more of a chance if you posted it out in the main forum instead of burying it in here. Just a suggestion? ;)

Ill give that a shot as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Saw it, you'll be more likely to get help where ppl can see it. Good luck ! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
use sdcard formatter and return to stock(original values like when you have had wp7 on it). use gparted to create partitions then change partition you want to ext 4. you will need a linux swap etc and convert rest to ext 4. have you looked at cwm advanced options and partitioned there? just my 2 cents as that how i did it. check in the hd2 windows phone 7 forum as there are guides in there to do just what you have asked

Hi guys, I was travelling and now I'm back. I was expecting for mdeejay's new update, but sadly there's no update yet. Anyway, I know mdeejay is working hard in so many roms.

[Acer Iconia A500] :
Not sure about the ps3, but I can't remember a ROM where you couldn't mount the external SD. Now most stock programs don't see the external SD card, ie: gallery and such. But that's supposed to change with HC 3.2 ?

[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:

[Acer Iconia A500] biglia6:
With custom rom i had problems with the external_sd! Astro didn't see it for example.

I need the external_sd because i cant copy files from PC to Iconia due to a driver issue (i think)

So if you use this rom can you tell me if apps works with ext_sd?

Thanks! :)

I have a feeling that some people shouldn't be using custom ROMS, if they can't bother to read the first post of the thread. GO BACK, AND READ THE VERY FIRST POST IN THIS THREAD, as it shows you where to find the external SD card. Some ROMs have the location of the SD card in a different location. ;)
