At my age, optimism is long dead and only pessimism remains. :p That's what almost 42 years of experience do to you. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Mazzstrikers:
Hey come on man. The problem is that when I bought my A500, A501 wasn't released. Acer didn't announce the release of a 3G version till two months later. If the two versions were released at the same time do you think we would have even started this thread?
[Acer Iconia A500] Mazzstrikers:
This kind of attitude is a hindrance to development. If all the xda devs felt this way, we would be living in stone age. Why can't you have hope that one of us is able to get a 3g modem working without much soldering and replacing of components? Or maybe one day acer realises it's mistake and decided to allow users to go to their service centre and top up for a built in modem?
[Acer Iconia A500] OrionBG:
I've been searching for the old thread I was referring! And after 2 hours nonstop staring in the monitor (ohh my eyes) and reading threads I've found it!

The concrete post is this one!

I think that this will shed much light on the internal 3G situation!
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
What attitude? One of reality? Why bother holding out a hope that ANYone will be able to get this working?

Fact. There are multiple missing components.

Fact. The missing components MUST be soldered on to the main board.

Fact. 99.999% of people do not have the skill needed to solder surface mount components to the main board without killing the device.

If you want to live in LaLa land and give people false hope that they'll be able to install the needed components, then go for it. I prefer not to give people false hope or lead them down a path that results in an expensive tea tray.

Actually, the A501 was announced at the same time as the A500, A100 and A101 models.

It just wasn't released at the same time.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hogbola:
Hmm there seem to be quite a lot of fear about doing this.

I'll have none of that...

and also how would we have ANY iconias if 99.999% of "people" could not solder smd components... just a question?!?

Enough said about that... Back to:

PCI express is a standard and virtually all components in any device using PCI express are the same.

Most high tech producers use the same boards for many of their products and i believe this is the case looking at the pictures in this post and from the schematics and pictures in the old post.

so in this case we need to look at the A501's motherboard to see what components are missing and get those and solder them in on the A500.

Antenna: there are tomes of knowledge about antennas on the web... and if you happen to have a copy of Orileys book Wireless hacking it would shed some light. It seems to be a full wave antenna or perhaps a half wave antenna (the size of those pics are a bit small and low res)

Drivers: if we use the same components as the A501 it would be a matter of extracting an A501 stock kernel and modules and put them in a custom rom

Anyway we need an A500 and an A501 to understand how to modify the A500
[Acer Iconia A500] Mazzstrikers:
You're right. But I'm still kinda surprised why Acer wants to use two different motherboards for A500 and A501. Wouldn't it be much easier to standardize and then leave the PCIE slot absent? Has anyone been free enough to study the schematic? It's too time consuming to individually compare the schematics for the missing components. As for antenna it's not much of a problem. Since the case of the A500 is aluminum, a 20 cm long wire going round the chassis can easily act as the aerial. For kernal and software issues, I believe its not much of a problem considering we have great software devs here at XDA.
[Acer Iconia A500] Hogbola:
I've been gone for months... sorry.

Lineproduced smds are assembled with a pick and place robot and solderbaths so if the pci-ex parts are not in the original cad drawing the warehouse robot wont get those parts and put in the pick and place robots dispencer therefor the parts wont be on the finished smd.

[Acer Iconia A500] carpenterethan:
lol pwnt

More power to you for breaking your tablet apart without knowing fully what you were planning on doing. ^_^
[Acer Iconia A500] loialotter:
Took a look over the missing components. Unless there's something missing inside one of the shielded areas it looks to be pretty simple. There are some basic resistors/capacitors and a ferrite bead that I can see missing right away. There's what I'm going to guess is a power control mosfet or transistor as well. The bottom side of the motherboard will also need the sim card slot which is soldered almost directly under the mini pci-e card slot.

We'd need some high res pictures of the A501 internals. Person taking the photos will need to play with the lighting so the part numbers on the two chip packages would be visable. Also we'd need to figure out what sim card slot was used.

Overall anyone who can solder surface mount chips should be able to make the mod. Can't promise it'll work as there may be more under one of the shields, but it shouldn't harm anything.

I'd be interested in attempting it if someone can get me the pictures and such. It'd be interesting to get a Pci-e cardslot in the device even if the modem wouldn't work.

Hello guys!

Can you please elaborate to me when createstatus is invalidEmail? If there is

emailreqular expression, it does not occur as it it clien-side validation.

according to MSDN that invalide mail is email not well formatted.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] csditguy:
The op says it has the stock Inc2 kernel. If that'snot a typo I would think that would cause it to not boot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Anyone flash tinys kernel with this before boot?

Please lengthen your message to at least 10 charters
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Try it. I can't test right now but if the kernel is really Inc 2 then mine should get it to boot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kevman8396:
Where can we find your kernel, and exactly how do we flash it? Before we flash the ROM or after we flash the ROM before rebooting? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] deriq4251:
i tried with tiny's kernel still stuck at splash screen i might have done something wron someone else try it and let us know
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Great Offender:
Just a side note: Tiny's kernel was not used in the previous Desire releases because it broke the USB connection. It was only working in the OTA and EVO ports (I think).

[Droid Incredible Android Development] obsidianblackhawk:
Nice idea, except what i have done in no way at all constitutes a new ROM.

@Newt:

I am also using the bliss rosie.apk, so i get the whole bliss ui not just the quick launch.

Well if anybody wants it: Runnymede Alpha w/ Bliss Rosie and Quicklaunch

p.s. Sorry it's the whole rom, not just the update. I'll make a zip later tonight if anybody wants.

@Newt again:

That's what i thought. I have the two button rosie instead of the transparent stock one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Newt:
Yea I coulda did that mod but I hate that Rosie lol... Good work

Giving this my first try at a sense rom since finding CM7. I downloaded, it loaded up, but I do not see the mods on the first post that were there yesterday - to add the bliss quick widgets and to make the rosie transparent.

Is that embedded in the new rom somewhere that I can not find? When it booted up, the rosie isn't transparent and I can't find the quick widgets.

You know, I seem to remember there being an issue with sense rom's where 3g is either non-existant or super slow. I thought it had something to do if you ever flashed an evo based rom, and that someone found a correction for it - I believe by flashing a barebones rom of some sort. I switched to CM7 before all of that, so never paid much attention to it.

The reason I ask is my 3G is horrible. It is less than 200kbps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
So how do we get rid of Vcast Videos and Latitude?

Averaging 100-105mb on this release! Very nice. All I need now is the Quick Launch widget, a black lock ring, remove location icon, and transparent app drawer ;) i'll ask Santa lol

What is the pen setting in settings would this mean the runnymede comes with a pen
[Droid Incredible Android Development] teentech:
I have to ask, is this really a beta? It runs too smoothly to be a beta.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] CUBENSIS:
The problem was that 3g would stay connected for a few seconds then drop, connect, drop....not really a problem of slow 3g. It happened if you had a Sprint derived ROM and did a *228 or if the phone was turned off in airplane mode. It would he fixed by flashing a completely stock ROM, then doing a factory reset, and then running phone activation/*228.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
Is the location icon the crossed out whatever that is next to 3g? I want to remove it as well. I want to get rid off latitude, location and places but I think they're baked into google framework or something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] donnyp1:
Everything working fine here. Unzipped quicklaunch and installed apk, works perfect! This rom runs much better than other 3.0 roms, very surprising considering how big it is. Great work newt!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jprow507:
I never paid much attention to that and think I probably did a *228 in the past on some of Joelz ROMs. Wasn't it only a problem if the ROM wasn't de-Sprinted (which I think all Joelz were)? With this ROM it should be okay to do that because this is a Verizon-based ROM right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
You used the link posted a few back for the QL widget? And does it still make Rosie transparent? I hope it does.

I have safely removed locations and places with no problems. i just can't find Latitude or vcast vids.

I went thru the awfulness of losing 3G on a sprint Rom, one of JoelZ's 2.1/3.0 hybrids I think. I had to follow the RUU instructions but it did work and I won't ever do a *228 on another Rom again lol.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phaze one:
Where did you find location and places?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TokedUp:
in TB menu/batch/uninstall apps/ it might say com. before it or something but the titles are definitely in the list. They just have other text with them.

Ok so I downloaded the QL widget file and extracted with RE and installed then rebooted. After selecting it the only part of the widget that would show up is the weather in the bottom right. The tabs are there but you cant see them.
