[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
I'm catching up on some messages. but i wanted to chime in.

I too have had had both WD Players, the WDTV and WDTV Live, then I read how cool the Boxee is and got that last November, to be blunt, the Boxee sucks. It seems like anything D-Link touches they ruin.

I'm still using the Boxee, and it has some nice things, but the plain purpose of it is to stream movies and there are a multitude of problems like every X amount of seconds the video (im using gigabit ethernet connection to it) has to reload, only to have it keep doing it every so.. Try watching a movie with that going on, pain in the neck. Boxee keeps releases software to fix it, but then they break something else. The PC boxee was great but they really messed up. It comes with a remote control with 4 way directional and pause button on one side and the other side has a nice keyboard BUT it's impossible to use in the dark (when watching tv your usually in a dark room). Not even glow in the dark keys. They even used blak keys with Greyish white letters so you can not even see it too well in the light. The one reason I really liked Boxee (even with this all these issues) was NAVI-X. But in the more recent updates, the constant reloading and streaming issues...

Sorry for the rant, now back to your regularly scheduled forum topic...

Unless Gorilla Glass is doing some false advertising, he meant the Iconia. ;)

Just my. 02, but It looks like since the whole "Thor vs. Deejay" debacle, things have almost come to a standstill :(
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
@kjy2010

Probably true...

This does point out one thing Google should take more control over. Basic things like file locations and the way the system "sees" things like devices and storage locations.

Just my $0.02...
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
I have notlced a drop in dev activity also.

These forums are going through some changes

For sure.
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
at least it stopped at a good time. Most these roms are working pretty good. And i checked out the other forums for Asus etc, and we are still ahead pretty much, but now 3.2 is out for them.
[Acer Iconia A500] originalone:
it seems not all quiet... i found a prime rom for acer just updated... its running hc 3.2 , so some updates are there.

i am sure official acer stock 3.2 is soon to arrive.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
can you point me to your update? and would you mind refreshing me of what exactly the thor mdj issue is? as I understand it was something to do with thor not releasing things under GPL?

it seems the it is up for debate, Corning say yes it does on the site, ACER say no!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057913

who should i believe...probably Acer!!

I have used both tablet ASUS and ACER, and there is definitely a difference in the feel of the glass, which leads me to believe that the ACER does not hve the glass.

I have a rule for this situation...dont by ANYTHING D-Link!! they are total garbage...
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Have you been drinking and typing again?!?

Read through some of the ROM posts re: Thor and mdeejay, if you still don't understand what I said, we'll send you back to second grade where they'll help you with the basics of your communication skills, or lack thereof.

re: gorilla glass, I've owned three tabs, the Tf, the Thrive, and the Iconia. The thrive has plastic that Toshiba swears is glass. Where you got your info on our glass, I haven't a clue. Second level tech at Acer confirmed gorilla, gorilla clearly states it on their website, in violation of false advertising if it's not.

So, who do I believe? No offense, but it's most certainly not YOU!

:p
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
+1 for G glass. Not just wishful thinking, but at this point until Acer

officially

says nah, you gotta go with what Corning is saying.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
Do I Look like I drink... ~CLICK THIS SHIZZLE!!! THIS IS ME!!!

So the answer is yes, they are still continuing with thor not releasing his source...I asked because I thought something else may have happened off-site.

fortunately, I was educated very well, and from it I have 2 first class degrees and my CIMA, I think the person who is lacking communication skills here is yourself as a simple "yes" would have sufficed to answer my initial question re thor mdj...

is there any reason you feel the need to be so rude? (apart from the obvious....)

why?

I called through to Acer support and asked the techs, and they would not confirm that it does have it, also since it appears nowhere on the acer website or the accompanying documentation it is a valid assumption that it does not have the glass.

I dont understand the logic, I would prefer to think that the tab has weaker glass and take better care of it, than to assume I could drop a brick on it and it will be fine, with expensive equipment is it not better to have a conservative view, and assume it isnt until Acer OFFICIALLY say "Yes"

why would acer "forget" to advertise a feature like G-Glass?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ummm no, just a few too many "Roids" which may have impaired your reasoning? !? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
HAHA I thought you meant hemorrhoids when I first saw the post.

This is me..... Does this look like someone you want to mess with.....:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Dang you're sexy! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
I don't recall them advertising who manufactured the BT module or SD card slot either. I see absolutely no reason for Corning to add Acer to the list if it wasn't true. Do you? Moreover, I'm not certain Corning would be willing to submit their glass to your brick dropping test. While I would prefer my tab to have gorilla glass it doesn't change the way I handle or care for it. Finally, I'm not sure asking a cs rep via phone is the best way to get a definitive answer. I wouldn't trust the person behind the counter at McDonalds if I were searching for the source of potatoes in their fries. Hey, to each his own, good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
Jealousy is an ugly thing, first off im too small for a roider.
[Acer Iconia A500] deeren:
For one thing since quite a while now is that the devices mentioned on the corning website is not accurate.if you take a look at the devices mentioned you ll see that htc g1, htc hero and htc desire have gorilla glass. I can assure you that i have owned thesedevices and none of them had gorilla glass. On contacting htc ( at that time) they told me that the current htc desire on the market didnt have gorilla glass but the newer ones would.

So coming back here , i wish to say that acer never mentioned it....so my guess is that next batches probably in the future or the 3g model would have it but it does not necessarily mean that your tablet has it. Corning website has a funny way of advertising their products. Just verify with the list they provided and you would be shocked by some phones.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Roflololol ummm jealous?!? You really do think too much of yourself bro, no offense intended at all roflololol :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thank you for your advice on gorilla glass and phones! While I appreciate your info, I'm not seeing the correlation to the Acer A500, nor the 3G model you mentioned which is the A501. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] deeren:
What i mean is that the A500 being mentioned there doesnt mean that the actual product has it. It could mean that the upcoming batch in production will have it... nobody knows for a fact and the short story was just to show how good they are at misleading ppl.
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
Well, as the information on the Corning web site predated the actual A500 intro by at least a month (it was one site I referenced making comparisons) I would believe it does have it.

But I guess I don't care to find out.
[Acer Iconia A500] buckstar0814:
Why don't you let this thread get back on topic? I read the last few pages hoping they would be discussing the ROM and instead I find bickering about gorilla glass, or lack there of, and flame wars.:mad:

I kind of wonder if the developers are just sick of the threads getting derailed, I know I am.:(
[Acer Iconia A500] tony1w:
+1 on that.

keep the bickering in the general discussions

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1134

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] :
The DEV for this, and his other two ROMs hasn't graced us with his presence in quite some time, and prior to the "bickering" you speak of. This, and the rest of the "virtuous" threads might as well be closed for all the good they're doing. :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
coming from a guy who owns 3 tablets and god knows what other flashable tech...I think highly of myself because it is worth it, if you cant love yourself, whats the point, I love what i do, i mean i would hate to be you and the only thing in my life my all your gadgets...BASEMENT IT GUY

where is your rom....oh yeah I looked, no threads started other than "General discussion" threads that dont contribute to the community in the slightest, your just another opinionated new yorker with a chip on your shoulder for no reason.. I mean no wonder the global economy is the way it is...look where Wall Street is!!

most amusing part i you dont even know who runs your country/who controls your money/your inflation or your banks...long live the "London Connection"

i have a reason to love it!!
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
wow neither do I.

But you can't tell me you know who really controls any of are money with power hungry **** Tator in all of our country's. Oh I mentioned to spell **** Tatore that way on purpose.

What is this thread origionly about anyway.
[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:
Can someone please tell me what happened to mdeejay? Why there's no updates anymore???????? That's so sad!!!!!:(
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
This all happened because of thor2002ro

From Here
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
ROFL!!!! LOOK who got banned...I'd say that chip on your shoulder is now a full blown axe wound!!

Enjoy your time away from civilized people...
[Acer Iconia A500] angeloroncalli:
That's really bad!!!!!! So, we have nothing to do about this?????
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
I guess the only thing we can do is show the Virtuous crew that they are missed and their hard work is badly sort after.

I think it is a sad day when a few little thieves can destroy enjoyment for a whole community.

(I am also slightly upset that the people involved in the theft do not have a permanent ban)

Bring Back Virtuous! Bring Back MDJ..Bring Back the good roms!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] originalone:
Are you reading this at all? .. thor seems to work on Acer roms, and the problems are all about a DesireHD issue?

you seem very wrong in your personal and direct accusations? shouldn't you be reading the text once more, before you flame others?

for me it seems the unity group complains about other users taking their work and using it in their name? is that not exactly what m-deejay did with other users rom's and kernels? that is as i read stories in acer forum, but ok it seemed to happen in desirehd forums too.. that is of course, not good practice, and putting rules on top restricting users from making a different release seems wrong coming from m-deejay if that user is doing so in own releases?

it all seems puffed up, what is head and tail in this?
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
i agree with originalone

the acer forum and dev got nothing to do with what happen sommewhere else

and somme one got to explain to me what open source is realy

because in my head i understood that if somme thing is open source i can take it made somme mod to it and gave it away as well
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
Explain to me how, MDJ was doing the same thing when the MODS at XDA thought it fit to fascilitate the removal of the items in questions.

head and tail, thor and dexter stole virtuous, repackaged and rleased as their own, they didnt release their source code because it was MDJ's and they didnt want caught

(funny how you joined exactly at the time that this all started...I suspect you are an alternate account for Deter or thor..Mod Edit: language!!

Evidently we have 2 thor supporters, spreading their viruses throughout the forums.

Open source means that the kernal is released under GPL...not doing this is illegal
[Acer Iconia A500] MetAloid:
this is where u get it wrong i'm not a supporters i don't even use is stuff

and not even MDJ stuff they have to much bug in them and made the tablet unstable

i use Vache rom with stock kernel

i don't like to be call a troll by u or anybody else this remark u made is uncall for and i will report it
[Acer Iconia A500] henk_j:
Who steals from who? in everyway everyone who puts roms in the development section is passing copyright laws, the main work is done by asus acer motorola a.s.o. if you want to ban all the ones who are not playing by the rules than almost everyone richard, m-deejay thora.s.o.

doing it non gpl isn't any better dan passing copyright laws, However its accepted to blaim one and another for doing wrong altough they are wrong doing themselves

If you want to blaim someone of doing wrong youll better be right yourselve.

And in my opinion where all as bad, and i like it :cool:

So stop behaving like a spoiled kid and bring on the roms, in the end the good ones will provail

I guess putting a rom up for download isnt for the better glory of yourselve but to share your work with others.

in the end that should be your motivation,remeber how the better roms were created by cracking the nuts together sharing one and another results
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
with your attitude I can't believe your not baned also.You are one rude person.And I guess someone needs to report you also.
[Acer Iconia A500] tatuk:
Agreed with originalone

Actually, he really did cut/paste the Virtuous group message and didn't read what he paste.

It's nothing to do with thor2002ro.

They blame honey group.

Lot's of young pranks here like MysticGenius who cannot really read letters however starts blaming easily.

Troll, huh? :D

Just grow up.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
Irrispective of there the issue started, DHD or not, thor repeatedly refused to release his source, while at the same time requsting MDJ to release his.

thor specifically stated that "his work is for private use and as it is for private use he does not have to release anything" yet his roms are public.

I dont get why you guys have such a boner over the thor releases anyhow, one of the best devs XDA has ever hd has left...MDJ (and his virtuous friends)

you care more about semantics than what actually affects the forums...

firstly it is BANNED, secondly bring on the report, what are you going to say..."MG said something I dont agree with...ban him please."

If thor can plagiarize work and still have access, i can criticise him for it and still have access.

At the end of the day, is MDJ will stand up and say that thor stole his items, and produces crappy code" then I would have to say I agree with him,.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
I feel it's my duty to remind you :)

http://stuffucanuse.com/more_images/arguing1.jpg
[Acer Iconia A500] tatuk:
Good one, bro. Don't waste yr developer's time arguing with the young pranks who don't even read their own posts :D
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
So True...
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
Thrive

So are we going to talk about this release anymore.

I have been using it for quite some time now and it is rock solid for me at least.

I haven't been having any issues.

How about you?

Any input on how its running for you?

I hope I spelled everything right this time....
[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
I'm not really concerned with my spelling or you disagreeing with anyone that is normal with people but for being rude to people and calling them names is a childish:o behavior and by the way it is against the rules.

Read Below to refresh your memory.:confused:

Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

Oh and by the way dont is spelled Don't :eek:just thought you would like to know....:D
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
should have read that yourself when you were arguing with MDJ!!

maybe you should just have accepted that you are wrong...
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
@ All of the above....funny how this happened and ALL dev stops on these roms.

if thor was not anything to do with the honey group why was MDJ having an issue with him, second, if thor was not part of the honey group why was he defending their actions as they were clearly wrong?

why are their countless posts between thor and MDJ speaking of stolen work..

Think you people need to do some reading!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] originalone:
you should REALLY learn to read.. before i joined i saw dexter,thor,m-deejay and others discussing m-deejay using other peoples work and not putting a thank you in a description, m-deejay argued (thor stole it?) . but it was all about GPL sources and publically available.. thor should learn about GPL, m-deejay the same, as being grateful is part of the opensource community.

lastly, dexter argued m-deejay did not mention other peoples development, and i am not sure any stealing was mentioned here...

btw,

your quote is all about thor? where is the debate where m-deejay say thor stole work? and what is your point in all this? that you are right? please look at your own writing and please, please learn to read before you start a discussion, and comment on aspects you actually understand and read about.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
I think the main point here is that there in now no development for the tablets...MDJ (or anyone reputable) is not pushing roms through any more.

Dexter has jumped over to tabletroms but he is the only dev posting roms over there.

there has been a release of ASUS running 3.2 and there is no movement in the forum.

It is highly disturbing situation.

PLEASE RETURN MDJ AND GRACE OUR TABLETS!!!

It is such a shame that 2 people can spoil the android tablet forums for the rest of the users
[Acer Iconia A500] madnish30:
@4D3 : Keep your cool - post in civil language - unruly behavior is against the rules and behaving in such a manner won't take you far.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4D3:
Apologies, but like my post stated, it is a shame that 2 people can ruin the acer iconia tablet development for the rest of us and the person who gets the infraction is me for "bad language"

may I ask, why the perpetrators of this whole incident have not received a ban or warning, considering they are the ones breaking the law, I have not broken any laws by not releasing under GPL, nore have I pushed away one of XDA's most active developers?

with the current state of activity on the android tablet forums, we may as well put them in the bin.
[Acer Iconia A500] madnish30:
Request you to not take this thread further off topic. If you have any complaints against anyone please Report it or PM it to me and it shall be taken care of in an appropriate manner.

[Acer Iconia A500] :
The rom just came out. It appears like it's doing well, no demons rearing their ugly head up in battery usage as of yet. The thrive has an excelerated charging system with a full laptop power cord. There might be a reason they do, but so far it's looking pretty good. I'll let you know tomorrow after I get some time with it.

On another note, I got almost 8 hours on deejay's Virtuous Xoom yesterday, just light surfing all day. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] elia950:
Tried it really fast this morning, and I've got two thing to report..

1. Browser sync wont work.

2. Sometimes even while doing nothing but browsing or search files through folders, i hear noises and rumors from the speakers.

I had this bugs with the latest XooM ROM too. could it be the new kernel?

Other than that i noticed that the battery life seem better here :)
