Hi civato, i've a strange issues with internet : it's impossible for me to download applications with "filesonic " or other same mirrors... the download begin but just for few seconds and at the end i've just a little file : not the complete.

Do you know this problem ?

Thank you for help if it's possible
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
I'm probably overlooking something really obvious, but for some reason I'm unable to install the Add-ons. I've moved the apks to the Flasher's system/apps folder but to no avail. Should I have left them zipped within the folder, too? I'm not able to get weather, even with another weather app.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Don't unzip the addON-flasher just open it, but you need to unrar the package with all the system apps in . Then drag the apps to the system/app folder in the addON-flasher.

What you can do and I do it always this way:

Open the rom .zip (don't unzip it) and drag the apps that you want to the system/app folder (I use winrar to do this and it compresses the apps to the .zip rom file).

Now you just need to flash the rom and don't need to use the addON-flasher..

About the weather widgets , well they often use gps to get location.

The base rom uses V3.0 patch from crypted , some users have problem with this version. Try V2.2 patch from crypted.

The first time you use the tablet with the new rom let it search for gps signal (use google maps or I use GPS Status from the market), it is possible that it takes some time .

Now the app for weather should be abble to find your location and weather.

These are the steps that I do , I'm using HD widget and having no problems.

EDIT :

I reflashed my rom , installed the v2.2 patch (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1267899 ) and at first the asus weather widget won't find weather (location).

Then I used GPS status to let it find an lock on to gps signal (closed it after lock on), used google maps for my location(closed it after it found my location) and then started up the asus weather widget , instand weather info !

Some side info , Im' using Thor 3.9r3 (rest) kernel : http://www.tegraowners.com/?cat=6

Hope this helps you.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Tested it with uploading and downloading a little file to/from filesonic and I got same problem as you.

Never had it before , only when downloading from filesonic.

Don't know what the problem can be , I never used filesonic before.

Sorry m8 , other download providers work just fine for me.

If I find something about it I will post it.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
thank you for quick reply. Like you i'll use another link for download my applications.

Waiting for.

In fact great work for us.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
I had this problem on all of my android devices. It has to do with the browser so I use opera mobile to download from sites like that.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
Yes i'm using firefox to do it... thanks for help too
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
Thanks for your quick reply. I will try the steps you've outlined. I have installed the GPS patch and still no weather. This is the very first time this has happened. I will report back when I've gotten the system apps installed, whether there's been a change.

EDIT: I uninstalled and reinstalled my weather app from Titanium Backup and it now works. Don't know what happened to the last installment, but I'm glad it's working.
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
You guys should look at the skyfire browser. It allows you to emulate a desktop while browsing so you can avoid certain Android or Mobile specific issues (I.E. Hulu will play in skyfire if it's in Desktop mode).
[Acer Iconia A500] hatefuel19:
Hulu will play with the stock browser if viewing mode is set to desktop in options

EDIT: settings advanced viewing mode.....if anyone is interested
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
Yeah but the option is buried. Skyfire has a button on it's taskbar that switches quickly and easily.

% in the Battery

Hello loving the rom so far just had a question. I love the blue theme but i hate % in the battery anyway i could get rid of it besides using a stock battery zip?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No ,if you use the stock battery zip or any other battery mod the framework will be changed therefore a big part of the bleu theme will get lost.
[Acer Iconia A500] k2thejx5:
Damn okay thanks for the response!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
New color mod

Just finished the WHITE color mod , more soft color then the bleu and green

Download first post.

Install with CWM , wipe , cache, dalvik and battery stats.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Update Ad-Hoc

Ad-Hoc-wifi support patch (see first post)

Flash with CWM

Now you can connect to the internet using the phones internet connection.

Tested this with my cheap @ss Garmin Asus nuviphone on Android 2.1 with the app "Barnacle WIFI Tether" from the market and it works with no problems.

Just let your tablet search for wifi sinal and pick your phone from the wifi list , in my case it was called Barnacle like the phone app.

Don't forget now you are using your phones mobile data !

enjoy
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
Thank you civato for the new white theme. Very beauteful :)

[Acer Iconia A500] cfgh:
Thanks again for your work
[Acer Iconia A500] Jim M:
Can we just flash Flexthunder over Flexspeed?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yep, just wipe cache,dalvik,it's in the tip section.
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
Great piece of work! Snappier, just seems better all around. I didn't think that was possible. I got those files I wanted, by the way. I just included them in the rom this time, as you suggested. Thanks for that.
[Acer Iconia A500] hatefuel19:
You wouldn't believe the smile I have right now. KICKASS NAME LOL. Now if I can only find my damn tablet.

EDIT: found it, flashing, brb XD

Wife said the default wallpaper has a nice butt, after she slapped me for looking at it :-) ....once again, killer rom civato!
[Acer Iconia A500] Fl0ppik:
I tried all feedings of civato rom's. But last stable rom for me was civatomixc6. In next versions my device was not go to sleep. Current widget shows -100 mA if screen of. I tried wipe, kernels, but not effect. Revert back on civatomixc6.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Not having sleep problem, what I sometimes do is format the flexrom and flash the rom again if I got issues like that.

Don't forget the flexspeed and flexthunder are based on the mix rom.

I only optimize things and try to get rid of the bugs that some have.

I make a profile with setcpu, screenoff, clockspeed at minimum.
[Acer Iconia A500] gismo918:
Thanx for your rom !!! is very nice

But i have a problem...when i sync the browser with my google acount the bookmarks don't sync :(

Any soloution ?

thanx again
[Acer Iconia A500] chefdave12118:
You're a machine. Grabbing this now :)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
The ad hoc wifi is included in the new release of flexthunder rom, no patch needed on flexthunder.

Hi

any chance to get another download link (megaupload)?

this one is like downloading @ 10k/s!!!

tx
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Just tested link , Im' getting 2MB/s so don't see the problem , I switch to this dev.org because the download is much better as megaupload.
[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
Are you trying it from the a500? Every now and then I get rediculously slow speeds for certain sites. Try it on a pc.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rainbowbright081:
im trying to download on a pc, and i cant get their server to respond to download at all :(, great work civato, hadnt updated in a while because flexspeed was so stable already :)

edit: after several tries the link started working right
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yeah I know , On firefox the link is a little slow sometimes , I use explorer for it.

And if you liked flexspeed you should love flexthunder.

Build in ad-hoc wifi , dhcp wifi patch build in , and the mighty THOR kernel.

More stability and bugs like facebook app crashing are gone. Even the bleutooth works a lot better now , file transfering works very smooth now for me.

Now you can connect to network with ad-hoc wifi true your 3G phone(if it supports it , I downloaded a app from the market on my phone to make it work) or still use the 3Gusb patch and use a dongle. The Thor kernel brings more stability and faster responce.

I don't think I will be changing anything more on this rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] gandotratushar:
is there any way i can use the hardware http://www.tataphoton.com/download/user-manuals/EpiValley-8089-User-Manual.pdf with my tab? i tried changing the username password from the 3gusb settings but it doesnt seems to work... can someone tell me what logs should i look to debug this ?? or if its a driver issue.. is there any way to use this hardware directly ?
[Acer Iconia A500] mdabar:
I can't install some apps from the market. I was trying to install the base apk of Documents to Go

Anyone with similar problems?

Thanks, great Rom!!

PS: an idea CIVATO, would it be possible to include a backup/restore tool? like the one in the Miui rom
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Full doc to go is included in the download package of system apps , for the rest I'm downloading any app from the market with no problem.

go to settings , apps , market clear cache and see what it gives.

Best backup tool , well use titanium or do as me and take a nandroid (cwm) backup every week , I think that is still the best backup function.

And sorry but I don't do personal requests , where is it gonna end then.

I give you the base rom with a lot of extras that you decide if you are gonna use them or not.

Sorry think that is not going to work , I use the Dexter Huawei patch in the 3G usb patch. The ad-hoc wifi extra in the rom is a patched version of the "wpa_supplicant" in system/bin so it alows to search for ad-hoc thetering wifi and connect to it.

For the 3G maybe you can check the apn file in System/etc and see if you provider is in there.

But the tablet needs to recognize the 3G usb stick. You need to prepare the stick , look in first post section tips.

Think it is better to ask your question here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118639

Force closing on browser...

Hello Civato and rom friends,

Last couple of flashes iam experiencing force closes on my browser in a irritating way,and i cant seem to get rid of this...

Do you have any ideas to get rid of this problem iam having!??

I follow the flash method as mentioned,and as i have done always...

Any sugestions??:D

Thanx in advance!

Rico.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No idea I don't have it but what you can do is

In CWM

Wipe Menu:

Wipe cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

And in Mounts and Storage Menu:

Format Cache

Format Flexrom

reinstall rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] hyperkamote:
Mr. Civato.. I'm having problems on your flexthunder rom. My wifi keeps disconnecting when my screen is turn of for a while.. as for my wifi disconnect policy it is set to never.. never had this problems on your flexspeed with update r3 plus wifi pacth 3.. as you stated thatthe wifi patch 3 is included in the flexthunder rom...
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I told that the dhcp patch is included. Not the whole wifi patch.

You can still grab the wifi patch for flexspeed on the bottom of first post.

You can use that patch on the flexthunder.
[Acer Iconia A500] hyperkamote:
Sorry about that i tought it is included in the patch since the wifi patch 3 include the dhcp.. again sorry..
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Repost the wifi patch

No problem m8 , I will post it again clearly in the thread , you never know some other users need it also.

The full patch contains a acer wifi patch and some other wifi optimizing things.

Look at first post .
[Acer Iconia A500] kibblenbits:
Hi, I have been using your rom since the first post, thank you!! I flashed the flex thunder the other day and I have been having two issues: sporadic FC's, google calendar syncing. I would like to revert back to the last Flexspeed rom.

Could you please post the link to the dl. Thanks again!!

edit: I found Civato_MIX_3C5 on my hd and flashed it. Now I am getting a new error: "PROCESS COM.NOSHUFOU.ANDROID.SU has stopped unexpectedly."
[Acer Iconia A500] :
That's the super user.apk. try upgrading super user in the market? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] kibblenbits:
I googled and found that but now on to another prob: gmail is force closing.. Things probably got mixed up when I reverted back.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol just noticed it was you :p

Did you do a full wipe and format between reverting back? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
FC not having these (and my tab is overclocked 24/7 at 1600MHz), I tested a lot on these things to make it more stable , did you do a wipe of , cache , dalvik ?

And if you use a mod please wipe cache , dalvik and battery stats.

The google calendar sync , I use it every day with my phone , pc and tablet and they sync just perfectly so must be something else causing it , again try to do a wipe of cache and dalvik.

About error , well "kjy" answered your question.

The flexthunder rom got a updated SU 3.07 and 3.03bin , reverting to a rom with older su bin can give error , again this problem can be solved by wiping cache and dalvik and updating the SU true market.

The FLEXSPEED rom can be found in the first post , bottom left corner (section old rom)

side info:

Don't forget boys and girls , if you don't use a custom rom the only thing you do is update it true OTA from acer.

Now with custom rom you are switching between this rom and roms from other people , if you don't do a full wipe are clear cache and dalvik things can get messed up.

Same when I got a bootloop after comming from a different rom or testing a format of the flexrom can do miracles.

Every time before I release a rom I test it from a clean install and from a update from my earlier rom.

Did maybe 100 flashes by now + a lot of testing with the mods and still everything works.

The key , wipe cache and dalvik before a flash and if that doesn't work , wipe all and format flexrom.

The MIX -FLEXSPEED -FLEXTHUNDER are all from the same source rom , so they should update with a simple flash and maybe a wipe af cache and dalvik.

Reverting from new to old can give more problems .
[Acer Iconia A500] fgcchevy:
hello, and thanks for this rom. It is pretty sweet and runs as smooth as butter! This is my first tablet, but I am not new to android. I have an og evo4g and have flashed several roms.

My first question is the wifi patch, is it baked into the rom, or does it need to be flashed? Second is GPS, I thought this tablet had stand alone GPS. If I turn wifi off, it will not find me. I have installed GPS test and it finds several satellites, so I do not know where the problem is. Another issue is Google maps, it is stuck on a location nowhere near me.

I do not believe these issues have anything to do with the rom, it may just be the way the tablet operates. Any input would be appreciated. TIA
[Acer Iconia A500] hyperkamote:
As for the wifi patch.. its not a full patch just the dhcp.. read the previous post, this is already answered

Yes but you need data to pre cache the maps and location you are in.. google maps as well as navigation is not a offline gps maps..
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I only put the dhcp patch in the rom because for me and I think for most users the rest of the wifi patch is not needed. It depends in what country you live and your router and your IP provider.

About the GPS, well the first time you use it it downloads some data.

This rom has got the crypted v3.1 patch in it, some users prefer the 2.2 patch.

Look into the first post, section tips.

Don't expect some miracle from the GPS ,it's not that good on the a500.

Change/Update log:

7/NOV/2011 : Release WIFI optima patch

8/NOV/2011 : Release New ICS inspired Bleu mod theme
[Acer Iconia A500] navodwickra:
I just flashed this twice and still cant get the USB to work. NTFS or FAT32. Do I need to install an addon or a patch to get this to work?

edit : my bad it works I just forgot top use drivemount :D
[Acer Iconia A500] hyperkamote:
How large is the capacity of your usb hardrive?

Did you try to access it via file explorer? If yes you need first to mount your drive "drive mount" run it with root permision mount your drive and read the instruction.. it will create a new folder so you could acess your files...

Testred it with Seagate 500gig, Western Digital 500gig 2.5 inch and a full seagate 500 gig also 3.5 inch.. tested also in fat and ntfs format...
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks, fixed it.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Why would you need Drivemount to use those drive? NTFS support is built-in to 3.2.

I can see all my NTFS drives without using drivemount. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
That is correct but with all the tweaks and 3Gusb support it is possible that not all NTFS HD's are recognized and that is why drivemount is needed in some cases.

I prefer speedtweaks and 3Gusb and use drivemount in case the usb is not recognized if it is ntfs.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Gotcha!

Thanks for the response.

Nothing I need to worry about ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] navodwickra:
I've tried 3 different drives. One FAT32 and 2 NTFS. I had to use drivemount to use all of them. but its not a problem at all. BTW I dumped my ipad 2 :D gonna sell it :p
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
All depends on what HD, all my fat and fat 32 sticks work but for some ntfs HD I need drivemount.

It's not a big deal, you can set drivemount to scan for media files on boot if a USB HD is inserted.

I could change it but I will lose 3 gusb support then. And that is something I really need.
[Acer Iconia A500] Marcosax:
Can we have an ICS (inspired) Mod Theme with the gray color?

Ok , on request .

I made a ICS white theme.

New ICS system buttons, the same as the bleu ICS theme but different color and some more ICS icones ( they are blue but it's a nice effect , same in the settings menu)

ICS fonts , ..........

Just flash it and see.

Look in first post for download.

The ICS bleu is going to get a little update with System icons and App icon but that is for tommorow , been a wake from 3.30 AM for work so now it is bedtime.

(Same Icones that I used in the ICS white mod)

enjoy!

Here what it looks like:
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Do this ICS mod theme works on another ROM, like Honeylicious or Thor?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
AH , NO, only on my rom and stock deodexed HC3.2.

Honeylicious is not deodexed so you will get loads of trouble if you flash it. It can be done but you ask " Kjy". I will give all my picture icones to him if he wants so he can work on a mod for his rom , but you ask him.

Thor uses Asus as base so the framework is different.

Maybe a good challenge for you to do it , test it and run it.

Then you would see how much time it takes to do a mod like this.

And how you get nothing in return of the most users that download your work.

My wife told me to put my free time in something else and I think I will be doing that.

I started this for my own and wanted to share it but it ends in answering questions and solving problems that I even didn't started.

Sorry if I sound like a moaner but ...........................
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
What a huge reply.

In fact, I don't ask or expect anything from anyone here, it was just a doubt related to compatibility. After all, I am a user, not a developer - nothing less, nothing more. If it don't work, ok, no problem, but it definitely is not a thing to die for, in my own case.

Besides, if someone works on things like ROM's, mods, wallpapers, apps and everything like that, has to be ready or more friendly with questions and doubts, avoiding facing every post here (of course, there are exceptions) as an annoying and dumb request. Get nothing in return is the price people pay for. There are choices, there aren't? :)

Thanks, anyway.

EDIT 2 : He recieved it and is going to test it before he post it.

Great ROM

This is a great ROM. I don't even have to use Titanium Backup to remove stuff. Is minimal, exactly how I want it. 3G works with the patch (Huawei E220 USB). The new Gmail is great, I can select now All mail for the widget.

Thank you civato
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yeah but I got all the stuff sorted so it's easy for me to help KJY so he doesn't have to look for it.

So why not help him , I learned a lot from other dev's. (Thor and Ezterry can't give enough credit to them)

I think we need to help each other so the users can have the best tablet experience that acer can't or won't give you.

That is why I love android platform , you can do with it what you want , even a Linux noob as me can do stuff with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
It's minimal but don't forget you can add apps that are in the system app download file and flash them with the addON-FLASHER.

That is what I wanted , the user deside what he/she wants on the rom and how it looks.

Overclock it , 3Gusb or ad-Hoc wifi (use 3G connection from your Phone) and Hulu support if you want it.

The GMAIL is from Android ICS 4.0.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
GREAT!

you're very very RIGHT!

:):):):):):):):):):)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
