I know that the specs are better on the LG. But I dont need a phone which is good on paper, but in real life its bad.

Havent used HDMI in 3 months, so that isnt important 4 me.

@Kenji: Same here, specs arent important, but results :) can you send me a picture which is taken by your DVP? Would be nice :)

A good phone cam is very fine to take some snap shots, bcs I always have it in my bag. :)

So this is for the A501, but you have not tested it on the A501? Do you think it will work on the A500?

Using Dexter's Primee P9-5a based on the transformer, do you think this is better?
[Acer Iconia A500] Krendelrus:
I don't know yet, it passed only 1 hour till i've installed it

but

this is Acer 3.2 original firmware, and Dexter's one is a port from Transformer. I assume that native firmware will always be better than ported one
[Acer Iconia A500] MJ-12:
Yeah of course should be. I think I'll give it a go :)

Asked the nice folks over at the Transformer forum for libnvomx.so from Firmware update 8.6.5.9-20110816 (the official Netflix support HC3.2):

Netflix works on this ROM with this .so - just replace your existing one in /system/lib. It still kills the camera, just like before.
[Acer Iconia A500] 55Pegasus:
Thanks, I was going to try using the fix used on Dexter's Primee 9-5a. It doesn't break the camera only changes the build prop.

I'll give it a try and post the results later when I get home.

The last 2 posts are complete opposites. one says its fast and the other says its lagging laff. I installed earlier and honestly didnt notice much of a difference of using Dexter's 3.2 Asus.

[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Disable all the location services, use airplane mode and enable wifi. Also install setcpu and use interactive governor.
[Acer Iconia A500] slimdizzy:
I think modifing your build.prop in /system to say "ro.carrier=wifi-only" should do that as it will kill the 3g service. No quotes of course.
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
I'd also recommend installing Spare Parts from market and set your animations to fast.
[Acer Iconia A500] 55Pegasus:
First of all thank you fguy.

I was able to get Netflix working on this ROM and the camera still works by doing the following:

1. Down load the netflix-asuspatch to your computer. Extract the zip file an put the build.prop on your micro SD card along with the attached Netflix3 app.

2. Put the SD card back into you Iconia. I then used ES File Explorer and moved the build.prop to the /system folder. A warning will pop up, say yes.

3. Shut down the your Iconia and power up.

4. Install the netflix app from the SD card.

5. Sign in and enjoy.

[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
Crud... Just found that "cell standby" is back. Anyone know how to get rid of that garbage?
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Add ro.carrier=wifi-only to /system/build.prop (via Root Explorer).

Alternatively, enable Airplane Mode and then enable WiFi.
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Are you able to use your camera/video recorder? My hunch is it will FC.
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
yeah, tried both with no results. Will have to look into it further.
[Acer Iconia A500] 55Pegasus:
Camera works fine. You can not install Golf and clear.fi doesn't work.
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
I've renamed /system/app/Phone.apk (to .bak) and wiped battery stats.

(Postscript: This appears to be the solution to cell standby.)
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Asus Netflix build.prop + this new Netflix apk = win.

No issues with camera, Netflix works properly. All is well! Others, please try and report back.

@fguy any chance these fixes can be merged back into the ROM?

Just got my 500 this week,and now have root, cwm, and acer recovery installed. just had a few quick questions...

On rooted stock rom with richardtrips oc kernel the xda app fc's after i log in and try to view any post. works fine if I stay logged out. Anyone else have this issue with stock or any other rom?

I was also wondering if anyone had a more direct link to download this rom because i have tried 4 times to download from both my tab and my pc and it appears that i am getting corrupted downloads?

Lastly, does this rom have an issue with not being able to disable usb debugging? On stock 3.0.1 & stock rooted 3.1 i can never get debugging disabled.

Thx in advance and btw GREAT WORK GUYS!!!

[Acer Iconia A500] Lincolnmking:
How did you "move" the file from the SD card via ES File Explorer. When I copy it and try to paste it in the system folder, it gives me the warning and I say yes. Then I get an error saying "copy failed". If I cut it from my SD card and try to paste it to the system folder, I get an error saying "build.prop cannot be moved".

Don't see any other options to "move" the build.prop file to the /system folder.
[Acer Iconia A500] cyberma007:
use root explorer instead and change the permission on the file you are replacing first to read and write.

why don't you just use CWM to apply the patch instead of doing it manually
[Acer Iconia A500] Lincolnmking:
I was following the directions from 55Pegasus' post. Seemed somewhat simpler to try,by only using the build.prop. Said it worked so I tried it.
[Acer Iconia A500] cyberma007:
That is what the CWM does as well, it replaces the file for you without changing any permission.

all you have to do is, put the file on your SD and reboot to recovery mode and go install the zip card, it is a lot easier.

if you want to get to recovery and don't know how,

shutdown

hold left volume button and power at the same time until you see text on left corner that says kernel something.
[Acer Iconia A500] 55Pegasus:
You need to request root for ES Explorer. In the menu drop down.

Simply adding ro.carrier=wifi-only to build.prop does all of that, without messing w/ system files. Also handles the "NO SIM CARD" message
[Acer Iconia A500] 55Pegasus:
It appears both ways work. I not longer get the "NO SIMS CARD" message. I was wondering if anyone has tried to disable the ril.daemon file in any of the ROMs for the Iconia?

I am experiencing two problems:

First, adding ro.carrier=wifi-only to build.prop does not work. Tried putting this line in the end of the file and close to the big ro. list, nothing. I don't want to rename apks, had problems before using this method.

Second, superuser seems to fc all the time. As someone else did, I just wiped cache and dalvik cache before installing the zip.

Anyone else experiencing those?
[Acer Iconia A500] 55Pegasus:

Because this is a major update so to speak and not just a minor sub-version update . I can almost guarantee that a full wipe and reload required otherwise you're going to have nothing but issues.

That is of course only speculation and not fact

And of course another speculative statement is it wasnt design for the A500 can cuse issues.

[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
Did a full wipe, didn´t work, cell standby is still there.

Oh well.
[Acer Iconia A500] redwoodflyer:
Here's what fixed it for me:

1) Flash the netflix patch posted a bit earlier

After that,

2) Install/run "Acer Iconia Battery Saver" from the marketplace. It's $.99, but it was worth it for me, since it kept life simple.

The Iconia Battery saver app should cause some sort of FC, then the system will automatically shut down/restart

One other step to take, after flashing the Netflix patch: In the build.prop, there is a line that says

"ro.wifi.country=EU"

Go ahead and change "EU" to "US", if you're in N.America.

Please let me know if that fixes the issue for you!

Regarding the superuser issue..out of curiosity, have you tried clearing the cache/dalvik after flashing? That usually helps hiccups for me, though I'm not sure if the order matters. Have you tried going to settings->Applications->Superuser->clear data and clear cache?
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
Thank you, but it didn´t work. I think the battery saver app is what worked for you, since it renames phone.apk, and I prefer not to do this.
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
I'd also recommend renaming telephonyprovider.apk, should you decide to go that route.

Renaming those files has been working great for me. If I encounter any issues, it will be easy enough to drop into CWM and reinstall the system image (without wiping data).
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
Thanks, I forgot about this one.

Netflix

Just thought I would pipe in regarding getting Netflix to work properly. It seems that with this rom it is not necessary to do anything with the build prop. I tried the build.prop patch from the xoom posted earlier and I still got Netflix errors and it broke my brightness adjustment for the screen. So I reverted to the default build.prop the rom comes with and I installed the old Netflix patch that people have been using for a while...the one comprised of the lib pulled from xoom 3.2. In the past this broke camcorder causing forcecloses however the combination of the new Acer 3.2 firmware and the lib from the xoom is perfect. Netflix runs perfect and the camera and camcorder both function perfectly.

Patch attached...just install through cwm and your all set.
[Acer Iconia A500] ruffjd:
I put the build.prop back the way it was and flashed the old patch and my camcorder still Force Closes
[Acer Iconia A500] mevensen:
Was enjoying this one for about a day, needed to rename phone.apk to stop the Cell Standby battery drain, but started getting a bunch of failures to awaken from sleep. Sometimes the screen wouldn't turn on, others it would, but the touchscreen would not register any input...

Also, did not do anything for my Exchange connectivity issues (same problems as 3.1), so I switched back to stock 3.1, probably will await the official update release and see how that goes.
[Acer Iconia A500] franksames:

After installing this ROM, a lot of market apps does can´t be installed, like this one:

https://market.android.com/details?id=visidon.AppLock&feature=search_result

[Acer Iconia A500] drewestate:
In my experience, it is no longer enough to just change the manufacturer name in the build.prop. You must change the fingerprint in the build.prop to that of a rom which you know is compatible so that it shows up in the market. I've run into this with different roms on my nexus s and in everycase where a app wasn't showing up in the market, ensuring the fingerprint line in the build.prop was changed to the stock setting fixed the problem.

Is it possible to do some amateur zipmodding to this file before flashing it or will this break the file due to the odex state?

I have a lot of experience with rooting/s-offing/flashing my HTC phones and I made it a habit to modify custom roms from XDA (like LeeDroid, CoreDroid, etc.) before I flash. Those are almost always deodexed, so i just remove the unwanted application APKs from the archive, add desired APK or ringtones etc and it works smoothly.

Is this also possible with this archive? When I look into it I see an ODEX for each APK so if I wanted to remove undesired bloat apps could I just remove both APK and ODEX of the application or will this break the ROM ?
