No force closes here.. something must be confused on your end:

In the advanced menu of recovery select clear dalvik-cache, then fix permissions (or fix uids it may be called)

One that is done if your are still having issues clear the applications data in settings-> applications.
[Acer Iconia A500] suomaf:
I figured that I could not be lazy so, I just started from scratch, the force closes are no more. I still seem to see the insert sim card though. Wonder why that is?
[Acer Iconia A500] netspring:
CWM never work for stock 3.2 due to no root (Root method for stock 3.2 still no work). The other problem is now bootloader (Within 7.0xx) cause itsmagic not work.

So we'll need to waiting new iconiaroot and itsmagic for stock 3.2.

Before that flash this ROM for CWM is safe (Because that is pre-root and remove new bootloader）.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Since the official update is still not available in Germany I used your rom. Everything works as expected (and is rooted). Thanks!!
[Acer Iconia A500] nfizree:
help

i keep on getting bootloop after installing this rom. i wipe cache and dalvik after that install the rom n kernel then when i reboot it, it goes to the main screen then after awhile it will reboot. then again n again....
[Acer Iconia A500] v_lestat:
you are on an a500 right? not the 501 or 100?

you will have to do a complete wipe plus factory reset.

maybe redownload the file too.
[Acer Iconia A500] nfizree:
yup i'm on a500. okay i'll try the factory reset....even thou i don't want to factory reset it since all my pps will b gone but if its what i should do then i will =/. thank u :)
[Acer Iconia A500] superbar:
guys don't you get lags on app drawer or stutter when scrolling thru apps? Mine still lags even after a full wipe and dalvik cache, I was using 4.010.38 then update it using this rom
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Yep, getting the same issue here too.

What rom did you come from before you updated your iconia? And can you tell us how you install yours?
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Well tried this rom and like all 3.2 roms, i get random wifi disconnects. restored back to stock 3.1 and wifi is fine again.
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
No [dev] believes there are wifi issues without a log cat.

Make sure it includes the issuing of a lease and the drop of the connection and

Past to pastbin not inline

(Why do I think this is the same headache with unlimited dhcp leases that has been going on with aosp/cm gingerbread roms, on many devices)

Otherwise be happy you installed this and can downgrade.. because wifi/dhcp is identical to the official upgrade.

Btw, you didn't happen to have a custom kernel before upgrading did you? If so you may wishto grab the one in the second post and re-configure with setcpu before compairing. (Mach previous overclocking and cpu govoner)

I've been not noticing unexpected lack of smoothness.. but its not 24+fps either when it needs to load app icons from storage: so you may just be used to a slightly higher standard.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
all I know is stock 3.1 is fine, any 3.2 rom I have tried drops wifi.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
i forgot to say thanks, so thanks for this .

Everything works very smooth with the Thor 3.4 kernel and this on my PB liberty tab.

Wifi, app drawer all is supurb.

Oc to 1544 for 24/7.
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
I really don't want to support the Thor kernel.. but if you must use it make sure you install "the rest" version and not stock to ensure you keep my included ramdisk and not Thors modified true stock one.

(The one in the stock image is modified to gives 'adb shell' root access and fixes 'adb remount' on a true stock rom; but I've already did that and some other minor tweaks; and since I'm not sure the base of the other ramdisk; its best to keep the one intended for the rom)

If you already installed the kernel intended for a stock rom and nothing is causing you problems don't worry much about it; but if you do have problems re-install this rom (to restore the original ramdisk) then install the "the rest" version of the kernel.

(In general this is true for all roms.. thus why Thor called it "the rest")
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
well I'm Using the stock one and I'm not getting problems but To make sure I will reinstall rom and use the rest kernel.

Why are you not keen on the Thor kernel.The latest got real got scores and UV and overvolting

Option.
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
I downloaded your modified rom and the kernel you added on. I haven't installed either yet "waiting for my replacement Iconia" but I'd like to give credit where credit is due. Thanks a ton for taking the time to give us the opportunity to use stock 3.2 with root and a custom kernel :).

It's a shame to see people post complaining about wifi drops, laggy app drawers etc. without even thanking you in the first place for taking the time to do this.

Thanks again!

@ezterry i was on stock 4.010.38 rom with root, im just compairing it to 3.1 rom
[Acer Iconia A500] rbtconsultants:
I came from stock 3.1 gen2 whatever latest us ota. I used acer recovery installer and put cwm on. Cleared cache and dalvik cache. flashed this rom. Then flashed hv kennel.
[Acer Iconia A500] msimindlessmsi2:
I am having a really weird issue since flashing this rom. Using file manager HD or just file manager, when I enable root access some folders show up with a number in front of them. Instead of DCIM it changes to "8 DCIM"' and when I try to browse it it shows up as empty. If I turn root access off the folders show up as normal, and contain the files they are supposed to. Anyone else having this issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Probably because, unless he's changed his tune recently, Thor refuses to comply with the GPL and release the source to "his" modified kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sparagnaus:
I have installed the rom and the kernel, everything ok except that it no longer finds the GPS, how can I do?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well, I had the same problems with this rom and using the "STOCK " 3.4 Thor kernel fix this for me. If I use the "REST " Thor kernel so if I keep the original ramdisk of this rom it fails to connect the GPS. I use Thor kernel for oc and now it even helps me getting GPS to work with this rom .

Well your ramdisk gives problems with GPS, if I install Thor stock the GPS problem is gone.

If I use the "rest " the GPS problem stays.

EDIT. Stock install = GPS works just fine. My BAD!!

Only when I use the Thor "rest " kernel the GPS doesn't work anymore.

With "Thor " "stock " GPS works.

Gonna try villain from your post 2 now.

TESTED villain and GPS not working. Search won't start.

So GPS works only with stock flash or with THOR 3.4 for stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] giancarlo_f:
Change the gps.conf file in \ETC directory. I had to change the NTP_SERVER to a server nearby.....

By default it uses the USA-server.... Because I live in Europe I changed it and now fix within 20secs.

To find a server nearby : http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I always change the config. But now the GPS search won 't even start . If I change kernel it does.

EDIT. Did some more testing and with stock install there is no problem with GPS. My BAD!!! .

Only when I use the Thor "the rest " kernel.

GPS problem (not jumping to GPS search) also occurs with viliain kernel com post 2.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sparagnaus:
Ok , now works thx!!
[Acer Iconia A500] suomaf:
Have you tried going into recovery and fix permissions? Just a suggestion
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
got that also, check the market for an update, i did and all.is fine again.
[Acer Iconia A500] msimindlessmsi2:
I actually had the most up-to-date version of file manager hd.

I ran fix permissions/cleared dalvik and cache partitions and such.

I fully wiped my device, including the internal sdcard.

Switched to HoneyVillain and the problem disappeared :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
just wanted to stop in and say thank you terry for giving those of us that would like the chance to get a feel for 3.2 on their tabs without losing root.

Been on it since this morning, putting it through the paces, and all appears fine!

Giving you a clickity click ty!

[Acer Iconia A500] cliefan:
thanks again for this ezterry.

I dont use flash player too much, but when I have, i never seemed to have any trouble. It seems that its really laggy/choppy now...though I havent wiped yet...thats my next step.

anyone else having flash trouble?
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
:)great job on the ota rom for the a500 tab works pretty good including OC, netflix doesn't run on it unless you have asus netflix patch so far Boot animation also work without any lag or hesitation including also went thru and removed all the junk apks registration, zinio reader etc no type of isue also removed insert sim card by renaming phone.apk to (phone.bak) using es file explorer with root permission and writable permission works fine, quick question any luck on getting netflix to run without changing the build prop much thanks for you work​

This is just in the browser for me. I've tried with Dolphin, Opera, etc. Same issue.

Also, i just wiped data/cache/dalvik and tried again. Still the same issue. Gonna restore 3.1 stock backup and see if my eyes were just deceiving me before.

NM, i'm crazy. same choppyness when I went back to 3.1 stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
You talking about the YouTube app, or flash in browser, because both have been much smoother using this ROM over stock 3.1 hands down. Of course I do a full and extensive wipe before installing any ROM. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] cliefan:
Browser specifically...went back to 3.1 and i guess my eyes were deceiving me...its not any better...

I'll go back and edit my posts...i dont think theres an issue. Maybe I just need to OC a little bit. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol if anything I've noticed smoother 720p playback on 3.2 over 3.1.

[Acer Iconia A500] schaze:
Hi there,

thanks a lot for the great ROM, I like that it is as close to stock as possible and all is working fine except that I have frequent Wifi disconnects here too like I have on ALL other 3.2 ROMS too.. yours was my last hope :(

I had logcat active while downloading something and can see that it seems to be a DHCP issue -- Deleteing the lease file did not help!

I pasted the relevant lines to pastebin: logcat output

For now I setup a static IP and and the disconnects are gone, but there has to be a solution to this. I never had any problems on ROMs < 3.2.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks a lot,

schaze

Previous ROM was: Honeyvillain 1.05a with Richards 2.5 Kernel

Currently I using your ROM v2 (I did not install the adopted 3.4 kernel)
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
This looks related to the gingerbread problem:

D/dhcpcd ( 1696): wlan0: leased 192.168.1.16 for infinity

The problem (for android) with thee unlimited leases is not dhcpcd its self, but how the framework reads the data it's read as a 0 second lease rather than an infinite or at worse max span release. Since this is less than 5min, android will assume a 5min lease and force a renewal in half that time.

I'll see what I can do (not having the source code to hc makes it harder (can't quite just apply the patch from cm7) Also it seemss to have been fixed and broken again so it may alsk be a conflicting patch.

If possible I'd say configure your router for long but limited leases, as unlimeted sorta defeats some benifits of dhcp.. even if the spec technically allows for it. This is why so few notice an issue most networks are not configured this way.
[Acer Iconia A500] cliefan:
Yeah, everything else seems smooth. I OC'd to 1.4 and its alot better...still odd though. Flash worked better on my INC1...
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
Is anyone seeing issues with the YouTube app, I kids you not it plays 3x faster then what it should
[Acer Iconia A500] schaze:
Thanks a lot for this! I actually can configure my router with static dhcp leases for certain MAC addresses and also fix IPs and hostnames. This is very use full if one needs to access the device via the network as you can use a proper host name instead of IP or the generated one the devices gives itself. I have removed the entry for the Acer tablet now and now it gets a standard 1440 sec lease and it is very happy with it :-) I can live with this now....

Thanks again for the reply. If you have the time or ressources to fix this it would be great but I understand as the problem is very specific there might be more important things to spend your time for :-)

What's the kernel version?

Can someone tell me the kernel version of this rom? The reason I am asking is, I am using some kernel modules for openvpn, usb2serial converter chips etc. on my stock rooted 3.1 (kernel 2.6.36.3) and was wondering if they have same kernel version so I can use the same modules.
[Acer Iconia A500] tomlogan1:

This ROM is great. Even fixed the sleep when on the ac adapter issue a I had on 3.1. Well done, no issues thus far.;)

Argh, they added a plus sign to the end just for the fun of it? Thanks anyway, I guess I will wait for new modules or learn how to compile them myself :)
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
I just installed the rom and kernel without a hitch however I do have a question about a couple of things.

When I enter the lockscreen along the top there is a message saying "please insert sim card ", also my bookmarks have verizon links...? I what could cause this, is it part of the rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Did you do a complete wipe and format before install?

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
Yes I wiped/formatted data, wiped cache and dalvik before applying the rom. I figured out the verizon links in the browser were from google restore adding my droid x links lol, but the 'please insert sim card' notification in the lockscreen is pretty annoying, when I turn on airplane mode it changes to 'airplane mode on' is there a way to hide these notifications on the lockscreen? They are seriously hurting my lockscreen mojo XD.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
That's not what I meant by a complete format, but since you seem to know what you're doing, and still getting the "insert sim card" message, carry on :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
There's no reason to be smug about it. I was merely stating what I had done prior to installation, I'm sorry if I rubbed off on you that way.I'm guessing it's reasons like this the good Devs took off from this forum for greener pastures.

I restored back to 3.1 anyways, thanks.

[ROM][24.08]Acer A500 (sic) HC 3.2 4.015.01[HC 3.2][CWM & root]

and now using this? any advantage apart from it being A500 specific?
[Acer Iconia A500] suomaf:
I had this problem of getting please insert Sim. I found I out that it is kernel specific. If the kernel devs had developed it for use with a500/501 then the Sim card will be present. If that is the case then you need to add the line ro.carrier=wifi-only to /system/build.prop

Then the annoying messages will go away . As for the bookmarks, I got no ideas
[Acer Iconia A500] crashpsycho:
Use ES

explorer with root and writeable permissions go into "/system/app/" look for phone.apk, then rename to "phone.bak" it will say to force close like crazy, reboot into recovery wipe battery stats should take care of it.

It does seem to make the fix, but I tried it with GPS test and other programs, but they tell me that the GPS does not exist.

How can'i do?
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Prior to this ROM, I didn't even have CWM installed -- I was just rooted. I've hacked up my HTC EVO 4G, but I've been running the A500 basically stock.

Flashing CWM went flawless, as did flashing this ROM. I did Nandroid and wipe everything prior. I restored all app data and a few apps via Titanium Backup. Everything went without a hitch, and seems to be working fine. I get a quick GPS lock (like under 10 seconds inside my home), Bluetooth is working fine (using a BT keyboard to type this now), WiFi connected immediately, battery has been typical.

Thanks for this. Like I said, I've rooted, ROM'd, and Kernel'd the heck out of my phone, but I'm loving the tablet with stock Honeycomb.
[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
Thanks to both of you for helping me with the sim card message, i may give this rom another shot now.

Wifi Patch

Well not that I really recommend changing your new setup.. but if for some reason you (or someone else) can't change the setting away form infinite leases I have a patch

DHCP Infinite Lease Patch:

To install Simply flash this zip from recovery

[size=+2]wifipatch_7.006.01v2_S.zip[/size]

md5: 39c0a1cdd755458eb6edd6aa786e4f5f

After install reboot back to the system and the wifi drops ought to be fixed.

Developer Notes:

Its just framework.odex created with a smali patch applied (devs see here) and a spoofed odex signature to allow me to just swap the single odex file (copy 0x14 bytes starting at offset 0x34 from the original odex to the new one)

Edit: grrrrr seems to be an issue with my signature cheat when you try to generate a new dex file (say install a new application) .. the smali patch is correct but the update needs work...

Edit2: fixed in v2 (seems mostly a permission issue; also fixed some checksums using this and a hexeditor)
[Acer Iconia A500] aftertzf:
hey :-) im interested in the wifipatch, but link aint clickable. . . .
[Acer Iconia A500] jerry43812:
wifi patch not linked for download?
[Acer Iconia A500] ezterry:
The smali patch is linked.. just deodex the rom and apply it..

But my patch to allow for including the change in the odexed rom prevented any subsequently installed apps from installing.. (ie. market updates and new installs) and thus I pulled it. (Basically anything installed before applying the patch would work.. anything new you installed failed)

Some of the files (apps mostly not included in the deodexed roms) are not deodexing 100% cleanly for me yet, I'm getting classes.dex files but there are also errors, so I'm not sure how stable the result is. Thus I have a bit more work to do for a clean solution.
[Acer Iconia A500] jerry43812:
I have no clue how to deodex or anything like that, so it looks like I should try to go back to 3.1 for now?

I'm currently running the v2 of your 3.2 located in the first post.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

I've went into my router and changed DHCP lease from 'Forever' to '1 Day', we'll see how it goes.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

I just left the tablet idle for 10 minutes. I play this game called Parallel Kingdom which needs a contact connection, or else it'll say 'Problem sending data to the server. Please restart the application" (thats how i figured out wifi was dropping) if you want to play this game or check it out, use my ref code - mtoib - then hit me up in game after you verify your email address - help me help you!

I have since changed my router's lease time from 'forever' to '1 day' and left the game running for over 10 minutes while i surfed the web on my pc and still no drops. So I guess as a confirmation, the lease time fix, fixed the drops.

Try

1 - check your md5 sums (to the files on the micro sdcard)

2 - boot recovery and run the rom's update.zip, nothing else, if you need a backup make it and reboot back to recovery before installing.

3 - do not for now brother with the su upgrade. You need to make the rom work first.

4 - read then provide the recovery log by running 'adb pull /tmp/recovery.log' on your computer (requires adb)

Also make sure its really missing root rather than a confused superuser and test at least wiping superusers data.. but more likely something you did prevented system from being erased thus youn ran out of space, or prevented su from being installed cleanly, or prevented the suid sticky bit from being set in the file. The recovery log will have such details.
