[Acer Iconia A500] :
Looks great bro! Diggin' the mixed color theme!

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Id love to test so pm me if you decide im worthy of it ;) im sitting here using my iconia wishing it was running ur rom... i can test and report back on a regular basis to keep you updated on how its working.

Thanks again looking good man!
[Acer Iconia A500] Rainbowbright081:
Whoa' I don't check this for a day and you were looking for beta testers, hope all your slots aren't taken. I would like to test it for you
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Come on stop teasing. Haven't tried your work yet so lets have it. It looks good in those pics posted and it seems to have everything working so put us out of our misery and drop this for xmas flashing. Just downloading your old rom now as can't get Drag Racing to work on your other friends final rom. Seems creative mobile games don't run on it. Anyway hope you reconsider release date.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Ohhhh man is this sexy and nice. So far so good. What I have done thus far. Been up and running for a few hours.

Nandroid backup of current rom

Complete wipe and format

Install went smooth

Removed 3g stuff, and some extra apps I don't use. (Only a few, this rom is nice and lean and bloatware free)

Renamed telophony and phone.apk's

I'm trying to keep this simple and close to a fresh install for testing reasons. This rom is silky smooth with stock launcher. After a bit I decided to switch back to Adw launcher ex and everything is great. No issues yet. Love icy touches and color theme.

running FLEXSTRIKER using XDA premium
[Acer Iconia A500] :
What device is the PB G100W? Is it a repackaged A500?
[Acer Iconia A500] cfgh:
Packard Bell.

Same hardware A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
PackardBell LibertyTab , exact the same as the A500 and build by the same company.

In the build.prop it says and I higlight the only stuff that refers to PackardBell and acer

But the rom the guys are talking about is not yet released for public , they are testing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I know.

Thanks for the info.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
perfect...

Hi Civato, this is the result of firts test of last build (in progress)

First is the new recovery : wow, just perfect, thank you Thor.

Overclocking by the menu is a very good idea : trying 1.2GHz for now.

And now you can format the SD, again good news... But I think it doesn't work... (trying again later)

Well, now i'm going to begin the test of the last version of Civato (Thank you man for your hard work) :

- first i havent modify the original build

- install by the sdcard : no problem

- reboot after install : no problem

- new bootscreen : i love the bleu droid...

- 2 minutes to get the first screen (and after apkinstaller)

- in the startup configuration, you're in 3G and after it offers you to switch to wifi without problem... you have to connect gmail account after that

- Change screen is very fast and very flexible and fluid

- go to parameters : BT, WIFI, light screen, google account and exchange account, and all parameters are good

- very beautiful color theme (blue with red is perfect i think... But i love so much the white theme...)

- GPS is good in 1 minutes to get position with google maps for 200 meters arround but the logo continues to flash while the location is made : after 4/5 minutes it's ok

- Camera and video is ok : playing video with google reader is ok

- market ok (just a problem to upgrade flashplayer you've to remove first : i havent remove hulu from the package before install)

- all games thd or other works good after restoring my 123 applications...

- music by treaming is good too (i use onkyo remote)

I continue the tests throughout the day including the use of the battery.

Thank you again Civato.

Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] toninawer:
Hi, thanks for the rom, works like a charm.

Only one question. In the market, google maps show as not installed. When I click on it, only let me open. How can I unistall google maps and reinstall it?

If I use SU file explorer, grant read an Write privileges in system/app and delete the apk will work?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks for the heads up , about flashplayer , the one in data is modded for Hulu so if you want to have the market version you need to delete that one first.(or you get error)

-Gps is patch 2.2 not 3.1 anymore because more people have problems with location apps with 3.1 patch. You can always use the 3.1 patch.(crypted)

-I changed the no connection icon , now it is transparant red "3G Wifi" no signal and you get blue wifi icon when good signal and red wifi icon when bad wifi signal.

If you connect with 3Gusb , now you get Blue icon "3G USB".

-Bootscreen is for a big part same as THor rom.

-You like the auto update to Thors latest recovery ?

-remember , you can unqoute the ro.carrier=wifi-only line in buil.prop for NO 3G support.

-You can delete the 3GRestarter and mms app without any problem.

-Video playback on Mobo use softwaredecoding.

again thanks and nice testing.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
First you are still on flexthunder , working on flexstriker now .

You can delete from system/app and download market version.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
Yes I like the new recovery.

I'm going to continue testing but for now : no issues... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] toninawer:
Flexstriker it's a private beta? I can't find it.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
YES !! Not yet public, release date JAN 2012. (only 4 people got it for now)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
I for one can't wait for the release and hope that this thread is a more mature place to post. I will post my feedback as I can and hope that it is well received. This forum was very vibrant in the early days and I see in this rom and the honeylicious rom maybe a return to those days. Hope one day we can see some more ports and a slight deviation from tweaked stock offerings. Though quite good we all know how versatile this iconia is. When rom drops I am sure it will be good.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I think for me it is the best I did and ever can do , Im' not linux guy , trial and error and help from Thor , ezterry and some other guys is what me brought me this far.

I started with Mix , then Flexspeed ,then Flexthunder and now Flexstriker.

In my case it has been running supurb and fast , one little problem , one game of gameloft won't work (modern combat) .

If you really need that game well don't wait for this rom because I just can't find what is causing it so I cannot fix it. And it seems that beta tester don't have a problem with this game so it is very strange.

Other from that , I do hope to give something special , I added cifs support today and cifs manager app.

Changed some minor stuff in final build and I think I will be sending it out tonight or tommorow to beta testers.............................................
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
sounds good mate and respect your humble post. i dont really play that game so it be ok. the only issue was having with other rom was Drag Racing but with a different kernel it worked fine. i have tried them all so i am now deciding what one to settle on. i love all the ICS goodness floating about but lack of flash support and camera, video etc stops them from being used daily.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
Maybe you can see here for game of gameloft ??
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I did , still no luck on that one game title.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
again the top

Hi civato,

I downloaded the last version and same problem : no issues !! ;)

Very stable and fast and all of my 123 applications works great.

I just noticed one freeze when I'm using OC to 1600 and open a few windows and make a search with skyfire...

But after reset all is again good : I'm now with OC to 1400 to test battery life also

Oh and just a problem when I down the pages on the web browser, plus Special reports when there are images, but this problem has always existed in my opinion.

A very good battery life now and really i like this theme.

Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks , I just uploaded a new Verison , yeah I know I'm going fast .

Name is FLEXSTRIKER A500-G100W-DHCP

It is fully based on the HC3.2.1 from PB(acer) but I modded the build so it is and looks like a A500.

Look in you pm's.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Why are some folk so privileged lol. Cant wait to try this out. On previous release i am right in my assumption that i need to flash base rom then r3update? If not please advise. Also will the asus mail and weather widget work with this rom? These are the only 2 things i like from asus rom
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Asus weather , yes , and flexstiker is a whole new build so updating from flexthunder is possibel but not 100% garanteed bug free.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rainbowbright081:
Eagerly waiting the arrival of striker, too bad I missed out on the beta testing, its ok, just patiently waiting on its release :)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You can test my latest beta , I know you are a loyal fan of my rom.

I'm going to pm you.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Civato,

I have Asus weather, e-mail and digital clock (date) widgets fully working with your previous ROM, and I'm loving it!

So, I suppose we can wait the same with Flexstriker, can't we? ;)

PS.: in fact, I've made a mod from your button mod to use Asus TF buttons on my Acer... with your ROM... best of both - hardware and some pieces os software.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Good to hear. Those widgets are very good and use them with most roms i flash on my acer. Patience is a virtue so i will wait.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Weather widget I can confirm , but don't know about e-mail and digital clock widget , don't think I have it .

Could you upload it
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Sure

Of course, dude!

I'll put them along with e-mail and exchange apk, which work together.

This weekend. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
They are pretty good and the best bits off the asus rom. Xoom live water wallpaper is also very good but can be added at anytime. The asus keyb is also quite good as has number keys at top and no need to hit another button to access them.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
@civato

I PM'd you!

If you need more things from original Asus rom, just tell me! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Toshiba thrive media player is also available as it was one of the best ones with huge codec support. I see youve already been pm the asus stuff so its all good. I got loads of stuff from back when so holla if needs be. Also extended power menu would be nice with rebbot, bootloader and recovrey options as in thors 14.2 rom. Its just a handy feature
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
Hi civato,

I downloaded the last version and again the perfection : no problems...

Camera front and back are stable and same for video. Maybe it's me but I think the back camera is not very clear. You see pixel but perhaps it was already like that before. I don't remember... For example my HD2 is much better than the A500.

Well, very stable and fast again.

All is working good for me.

I wish you and all a merry christmas.

Cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Flexstriker

OK , got the toshiba thrive media player 100% working (also the streaming works)

Asus e-mail widget , almost there.99% stable

+Mods for music2 player and googlecalander ,..........

keep working ahahahahaha......

TIP FOR BETA TESTERS:

if your data partition gets corrupted you need a REAL format....

here's how to: on cwm1.5 and up

go to in recovery enter "Backup and Restore" and click on "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)"

should say enabled....

then go into "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data" , and format system , cache and flexrom.

wipe your dalvik and battery stats and then install rom.

this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
Looking forward to this. I haven't been around for a while. Your latest rom is so stable I havent had a reason to check the dev section.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Really nice!

:p
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks to you m8 , I needed the e-mail , e-mailwidget and exchange apk to make it work.

The toshiba player worked but not the streaming , I needed a lib file for that .

I got so now it works 100%.

Final Beta is leaving tonight so the testers got 5 days to play around with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
KEEP IT SAFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and have good one!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] iamtek7:
Flexstriker Beta Test Results...

VERY NICE!

Already had cwmt 1.6v2 installed.

Full wipe, re-wiped. Wiped flexrom.

Installed FlexStriker. Install went nice and quick!

Reboot. Nice TegraOwners boot and boot ani!

Booted in about 2 min (went to get a beer and was done when I came back)

Loving the blue/red mix. The contrast between the two Strike a nice balance.

Wifi connected fast, no drops yet (not expecting any after 12+ hours!)

Allowed Google to do its thing on restoring (55 apps)

Used Titanium BU to restore a few others w/data, no issues.

SetCPU @ 1.5, stable (will remove shortly and let the kernel set and continue testing)

Over the last 12 hours I've used a mix of games and apps with web browsing etc..

Front/rear camera no issues (will attach pic shortly)

Encountered ZERO Issues with any apps/games I restored to tab!

So far, tab is quick, smooth and very stable (no FC at all).

Loving FlexStriker. Will continue to put through paces and change some things and mix things up to tey to get this to fail on something! LoL

Civ does great work!

Merry Christmas!!!

EDIT: Just got the PM for R1. DL now and after backing up my SD Card will install!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
OK, don't forget to follow wipe instructions, get rid of corrupt data, few posts above.

Please do the format thing and test Asus email widget, here at my tablet it works but one tester reports fc.
[Acer Iconia A500] iamtek7:
Civ,

I did do the complete wipe as outlined (...format /data", format system/cache/ flexrom. wipe your dalvik and battery stats on my initial FlexStriker install.

After I recd the r1 version, I did NOT enable the wipe of /data folder and installed r1. Only issue I had was w/Asus email widget. The widget was present but nothing... I noticed there was no 'email app installed so extracted it from the r1 rom, but it would not install. I then restored the email apk from TiBU but would not run! So therefore, no email nor Asus email widget notification. So maybe the issue with FC is non wipe of data prior to install...

I then rebooted into CWM and this time did do a complete wipe as outlined (I.e... "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data" , and format system , cache and flexrom. wipe dalvik and battery stats), reinstalled r1.

Initial boot 1:05

I now DO have email app and have Asus email widget working fine!

Camera (front/rear) works. Quality of pics are OK (don't take many pics w/my Tab so unsure what baselined would be for this, so pics are fine FWIW)

Not sure if FlexStriker related issue or Thor kernel, Recovery 1.6v2 issue (or even a feature not meant to work on any other ROMs), but setting CPU clock in recovery does not hold/set once

booted. I checked this after install w/Antutu. I reinstalld setCPU to get clock to 1.5.

Again, this r1 is very stable, no FC to date and all very smooth and fast! :cool:

I'll keep pushing this r1 and report all back!

Thanks again! You Rock!

Merry Christmas XDA'ers!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
ok, yep you need to do a full format to get rid of left overs of previous beta.

The overclocking in cwm is for cwm only so the flash would go faster.

It is not ment to stick, you always have got to use setcpu for over locking in daily use.
[Acer Iconia A500] MCBuot1977:
Pretty sweet ROM you have here. The inclusion of the hacked Flash Player as well as Hulu Plus just made my day!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Wait until you see flex striker.

Beta testers are very happy with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
report final build

hi civato,

i downloaded the last version.

well, i did a full wipe (data, system, cacha, dalvik, flexrom and sdcard) and installed by the cwm directly in system, not in external sdcard. no problem.

it's a very clean install.

after reboot and startup sequence, i tested asus widgets (mail, weather), camera and video : no issues, all is perfect.

i just noticed that when i playing video (with mobo player and a one i recorded) i've a fc BUT it's no a problem cause if you tap 'ok' the mobo application will continue to play.

i'll test setcpu and others all the day and report to you later.

oh and a question for you : how to do a real format of the system ? i can do it for sdcard but not for the all memory of the tablet....

cheers.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
look a few post above, tip for beta testers, you need to go to backup and restore in cwm and toggle data/media and it should show enabled, if you format data then all your internal memory is gone.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dcmafia:
how does one join this prestigious beta club as this rom sounds awesome! i am new here so guess i will have to wait but sometimes maybe some fresh eyes could help!:D:D:D yes i know i am reaching but had to try as this sounds like it is going to be very good :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
By donating 1000$ and kissing my ass.

No m8, I picked random volunteers and they are doing a good job, so for now no more beta testers.

If all goes well release will be in a week in a other dimension.

This one is dedicated to my mentor.
[Acer Iconia A500] iamtek7:
Civ,

It's not $1000, but a little Christmas present is on the way!

Keep up the great work..
[Acer Iconia A500] Biggzz:
Gmail getting FC on my beta.
[Acer Iconia A500] manu33xtro:
Strange, do you wipe all before install ? No fc for me, same with asus mail or others...
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Ok Biggzz I now you are new to the beta testing but make sure you follow instructions m8.

Full format is needed to make sure no corrupt data is left behind from other roms.

Here is how to do it :

TIP FOR BETA TESTERS:

if your data partition gets corrupted you need a REAL format....

here's how to: on cwm1.5 and up

go to in recovery enter "Backup and Restore" and click on "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)"

should say enabled....

then go into "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data" , and format system , cache and flexrom.

wipe your dalvik and battery stats and then install rom.

this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory

If you don't do it this way , FC is what you are going to get .

This is a newer Gmail app(4.01) then what you had before so you need to make sure data of old Gmail is gone.

What you also can do is wipe cache in settings /app.

I'm sorry if you will lose all your data on your internal memory by doing the format thing but that is part of testing beta.

I can prommise you we are almost there and the next version you can just update with no full wipe and format.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks m8 , much appreciated !!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Same issue here did a complete format and wipe for first beta then did r1 and had Asus email widget fc and email exchange service fc. I was talking with civ trough pm and reinstalled r1 after another full wipe and format and had no further issues with Asus widget or email exchange service fc's. So I reccomend once released to public to please follow civatos pre install format and wipe directions they are easy for some one new and seasoned such as meself. Keep it up civ. Loving my a500 even more which I didn't think was possible .

[Acer Iconia A500] Biggzz:
I thought I followed your instructions to a t. I will reflash and do it again. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No problem m8 , just other testers did the same error and had the same problems as you.

Installing and formatting in the correct way solved all there problems.

R2 is finished , I'm about tho flash it , lots of cosmetic changes.

If all is good I upload tonight for testers as a early newyears present.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Sounds gr8 man

[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Will upload for you guys tonight , first I'm going to upload some pictures and my screen and setcpu settings.

Public release some time next week I think.

[Acer Iconia A500] civato:

This is what you guys are getting and others have to wait for :p

Ones again thanks for all the testing and flashing your tablets.

This is the result.
