First go into cwm and format flexrom.

Install base rom and reboot first before you do anything else .

Then install all the addons and mods
[Acer Iconia A500] ninjasauce:
ok ill try that now thank you for the reply, ill edit this post if it works or not.

EDIT:it worked thank you, the only downside from formatting the flexrom i guess is it deleted my titanium backup save but i can deal with that thanks again

[Acer Iconia A500] gandotratushar:
has anyone encountered "Purchase Cancelled" error while trying to download any app (including free) from the market ? if yes what is the fix? i was on the stock rom and everything was working fine... started happening the min i flashed this rom...
[Acer Iconia A500] thk38:
Me too, anyone got solution for it.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
pleas use search.

Once again, make sure your device isn't hidden in your Google market account

This sometimes happens when you flash other rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] themathers:
thanks for the rom :)
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
I had this. I had to install the new market and everything started working properly.

Has anyone tried using the bluetooth yet? I was attempting to get PDANet Tablet to work and although my phone showed the A500 connected to modem, the A500 acted as though bluetooth wasn't connecting at all. Tapping the phone in the bluetooth list does nothing. It should bring up a disconnect or unpair option, but it doesn't do anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Sending files from device to device works just fine with me , connecting to cellphone internet connection , I don't think so , but that was with stock rom for me the same.

I did not change anything on the bleutooth.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Little update

For the people using BLEU mod , more effects added .

3Gusb patch is also updated , new icon for the rilrestarter and minor tweaks.
[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
I don't have any of the Huawei stuff installed (No 3G) and I'm wondering if the bluetooth DUN requires any of the ril services?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You can try but is made for usb dongle , the normal wifi only models have a other build.prop , ril and rilrun and some more stuff , just download the 3gusb patch and see what is in there , then you see what is changed to make 3G work on wifi only model.

But if you don't use 3G put tablet in airplane mode and enable wifi if you want.

If you don't do this battery drains quickly.

ADW EX

Just flashed this rom, so far I really like it! New to the A500 and this is the first rom I've used. I'm having problems setting ADW EX as my default launcher. Any suggestions would be great!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Sorry I don't use the adw ex launcher.

I use extended control and the blue mod. Best to ask in the theme and app section.
[Acer Iconia A500] gandotratushar:
This is how I fixed it... remove the Google account from the accounts and sync option.... goto manage applications.. click on market... click clear data... reboot... open market .. add the account ... done.. it should work.. if still it doesn't work try installing the new market...
[Acer Iconia A500] Rainbowbright081:
@civato do you do the theming yourself or does someone else, it is awesome, but I wanted to change the colors.... and wondered if the editors (m10 editor and PNG edits) were the same as some other android devices?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
UPDATE 3G patch + update R3

New 3G huawei patch , some tweaks for lower battery drain, and speed and for the BLEU mod people a real nice Bleu icon for the ril restarter.

Update for the people that want it , New market 3.3.11 (stable for me now a few weeks) and GMAIL4.0 .

And More tweaks for less Battery drain and more speed.

PEOPLE using G3 usb , First flash update R3 if you want the new market and GMAIL and then flash the 3G patch. If you don't want them just flash the new 3G patch for tweaks and new icon on the ril-restarter.

Enjoy!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No m8 I ported this bleu theme , from this awsome dude http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015434. so all credits go to him

I had to change alot of things to work on the A500 , but I didn't change anything on the original theme's or icones , you should check out his custom icons they are realy nice. The only icon I made is the icon of the ril-restarter in the 3G patch

I'm planning to do the red , green and white theme's also , but time is not my friend at this time , I need more of it.
[Acer Iconia A500] The.Yield:

[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I think we all are waiting for the 7.011. But until no one uploads the update from Acer that he or she received ,there is nothing we can do.

If I get my hands on it I will update. But from what I hear it is nothing more then new market and wifi fix for some.

I'm running rom+3G+bluemod and no problems.(just tested it , gone from dark room to very clear room and the screen brightnes adapted just fine)

other than the above issues, so far I am loving this rom. great job
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Facebook app from the market , well it doesn't work on my rom , why ?? don't know and I'm not going to try .

You got 3 alternetives , Socialjogger (works) , socialtouch (works) , LinktoFacebook app (works). so sorry this has been told , try one of the 3 other apps , I think socialjogger or socialtouch is really nice.

About flashplayer , read the first post .

The flashplayer that comes with this rom is modded for use with hulu.

If you don't need that you need to remove that flashplayer , look in /data/app , delete "com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk" , now reboot and now you can download the flashplayer from the market.

Anyone else getting force closes (without fc message, just closing) on modern combat 2 with this rom? I reinstalled the apk and data and it still does it.

[Edit] I found the build.prop thread that works with thor v14 that makes this crash stop. Can I use this on this rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You can try, but I'm almost 100% sure a lot of things like tweaks won't work any more.
[Acer Iconia A500] ipetloudog:
And that will bog down the rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yes, or try copy past the tweaks from my build.prop to the Thor one.

But delete the tweaks on that one.
[Acer Iconia A500] ipetloudog:
I'd love to but the only link to thors rom I can find is tegraowners.com and its a dead link. Site is down.
[Acer Iconia A500] spaz2k7:
I am getting force close on Google apps for some reason. happened prior to the newest release and was hoping the update would fix it. I've been using this rom for a few days and other than the fc issue everything is great, nice and snappy.
[Acer Iconia A500] ipetloudog:
Oh coming from tabooney, this rom is incredible and kudos to the OP for being so active in this forum. This gaming issue has to be resolved for me to use it as a daily driver though. I bought a gsII for gaming, but the soundpool issue made most games virtually unplayable so I bought the a500 for my vidya fix and I'm loving this rom but just can't use it for my daily needs.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I just downloaded modern combat2 from gameloft and I can play, it doesn't FC.

Did you do a full wipe before you installed this rom.

Coming from taboo nay is a whole different rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] ipetloudog:
Full wipe. Installed. Full wipe again. Nothing. Closes out before touch screen to continue

Sent from my SPH-D710 Galaxy S II [suck it]
[Acer Iconia A500] mc_xperia:
+1 Same here. Coming from stock ROM, full wipe, installed... all I obtain is bootloop :(

Any suggestion? Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Try first to format flexrom.in cwm.

Then install base rom and reboot. Do your wifi settings and account.

Go back to cwm and install the rest that you want.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Maybe the memory tweaks are to tight.

Try to go into system/etc/init. And delete 08minfree and if that doesn't work delete 14ramscript.

But first make a backup of these files so you can put them back.

Like I say with me modern combat 2 HD doesn't crash.

My settings are, baserom with bleumod and 3gusb patch.

If that doesn't help I'm sorry.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
forgot and I'm running Thor 3.9r3 kernel.

Again the game started and loaded just fine.

Started the first level and still going no problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] mc_xperia:
I did as you said:

Full wipe

Format flexrom

Install base ROM

After a successful reboot and initial settings I power off the tablet to restart in CWM. I changed my mind and I wanted to start normally... same problem: stuck in boot sequence. In fact is not the boot screen because it not pass the initial "ACER" screen.

I repeated the above process with the same result... don't know what to do.

My wifi constantly drops out on this rom and I did a full wipe/reset, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe...

Is there a fix?

[Acer Iconia A500] naviathan:
Check the Acer support site for a wifi patch. It should help.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I will send you pm with link that I uploaded.

Can't post it here because he don't release source code.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
So it booted up just fine but after restart it failed.

So wipe all and format everything except the SD card

RestoreA500 boot and permissions.

Now install and boot and do settings.

If this doesn't work I don't know.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I already included the Acer wifi fix in this rom but there is no harm in flashing that patch again. Even that HC3.2 should have this problem fixed and now with 3.2.1 that Acer released it should be totally gone,but no one uploaded this update so I cannot update my rom.

I will try something different later today.

I never have them so it is hard to for me know the problem.

Is it at your home or is it everywhere you want to use wifi.

Could be a router problem.

I am using your ROM with the kernel included in it. I see you use thor kernel. Which kernel use, the stock kernel or the-rest kernel?. I think the-rest but not sure.

Thanks for your greats works.
[Acer Iconia A500] mc_xperia:
Ok, I will try in the evening. I really hope that it will solve my problem. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You use the kernel for the rest.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Ok , I messed around with my tablet to reproduce the error and got the same thing.

Game just closes down without message.

How did I solve it ?

Reinstall the game apk FIRST , then wipe cache , dalvik and reinstall rom , mods and custom kernel if you use it , DON'T WIPE DATA.

Reboot and then the game should be working.

That is how I fixed it.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
Unfortunately the wifi patch does not work. But have you checked this out for the fix???

Yep, but that is with odex file and this rom is deodexed.

If I use that there is no way I can change the original framework, for modds.

I will try but can't prommisse anything.

Remember I'm not a Linux guy this is all test and error for me.

And I don't experience that error so it is hard for me to track.

Everywhere I go my wifi just connects fine.

Not sure what's going on with FLEX, but it does not seem to be allowing the use of wireless location and getting GPS location seems to take a long time. I go back to mix 3c5 and it all works, fast GPS fix, wireless location works too. I love the look of FLEX and the add-ons, but I need to have better GPS and location.

I know you have a lot on your plate, and family too, but if you just take a look and see if you can spot something that is amiss.

TIA
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Nothing big changed to the mix versions.

But I did change the GPS patch.

The mix version got the V2.0 GPS patch while the flex uses V3.0.

So I think that is what is going on.

If you got to system/etc/ there is the GPS configuration file and root sert.

Download the crypted v2..... version and put the GPS config there. You find this thread in the dev section.

I also had better GPS fix with v2.....

Clean dalvik and cache.

Tip: you can use all the patches , mods and addon's on the mix rom.

If you don't want some apps that are in the mix rom remove them before you flash the rom.

Don't remove more apps then in the flex rom, some apps are needed to work stable.

Don't forget that on the mix rom the bug of auto correction on the default android keyboard.

EDIT

I did a quick test, since I don't use the GPS that often.

Using the v2.... patch the finding of GPS goes a little quicker.

But then I tried the v3.0 patch, cleaned cache and dalvik.

At first it took long to find GPS but I used GPS status from market and after that the fix was faster.

Hope this helps you out, but the mix rom is the father of the flexrom so if that one works better for you use it.

Like i said all the patches, also 3g patch for the flex work on the mix.

EDIT 2:

Now with v3.0 GPS patch I even tried with airplane mode ,no wifi and no 3g connection I get my location just fine.

But I am standing outsite.

Ones I used the Gps status app , the lock on is much faster.

I only had to use this app one time.

I use navigation and Google maps and they find my location within 20 seconds.

I asked ezterry and this is his answer:

It will always depend on the end users configuration, the dex patch if cleanly applied fixes infinite dhcp leases. Others just have a bad lease and must clear it from their system. Most of the time one of these two actions fixes any issue, however for anything else a logcat is needed when the connection dropped to tease out any problem.

So I asked him to help me because don't know what else I can do.

All credit goes to ezterry on this !!
[Acer Iconia A500] Jim M:
Back to running FLEX, using the GPS V2.2, all works great now. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
I tried v2 patch and it still didn't help. Then I tried going into my routers setting but the lease time is already set at forever. Lol I don't know what to do. How do I get a logcat?

Quick question, did you try other router or does problem exists every where you go and connect to wifi.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
It happens at my house I have a belkin router and at my job they have a netgear router. It does not happen tho (atleast I don't think it does) at my inlaws I think they have a airport extreme.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I did recieve some more info from ezterry :

It says its an idefinate lease:

D/dhcpcd ( 4956): wlan0: leased 192.168.2.3 for infinity

This is the know bug where it gets. Confused and acts as if its a 5min lease and renews in half that time.

He gave me some instructions and I will try to sort it out .

I'm new to this so I need some time !!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
gmfeny : please try this. (FIRST TAKE NANDROID BACKUP !!!!!!)

Download the framework.jar file :http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/58548990/file.html

Now on your tablet go to system/framework , there is a file called "framework.jar" , rename it to "framework.jar.bak" (so you can go back by renaming it again).

Now you put the new "framework.jar" there and reboot.

Hope that this works , I did what ezterry asked me and applied his patch.

If this works I will make a CWM ready patch for it.

EDIT : double checked if it was stable , try it and let me know.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Here is the wifi patch with dhcp fix , flash with CWM , wipe cache and dalvik.

http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/15573582/file.html

This is my last resort on trying to fix it.

Please let me know if it works , then I put it in the first post.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
So I could just try this instead of the framework fix?

I'm going to try this when I get home tonight. Thanx for all the help!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yep , but if that doesn't work try it by replacing framework.jar from the post above.

I used the patch from ezterry and how he explained to me.

Some side info , I got a Dlink 635 wireless router and a cisco E4200 router and both are working fine without wifi dropouts.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. The zip patch worked perfect. I haven't had any drop outs since installing it this morning and using the wifi on my evo3d then going home around 5 and using the wifi at my house. So thank you civato your the best
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Very good, it was a hell of a job to get that patch into the right. Smali file.

Like I said ezterry had a big deal in this, he told me where to look.

But the big problem was the deodexed rom, no one else has had success on a deodexed rom with the smali patch.

But whooooooo, we did and that is what this is all about,making it better.
