[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I'm not really sure what you are asking me

But please follow install instruction.

If you are coming from a other rom , do a full wipe , data/cache/Dalvik and battery stats.

Format flexrom , all of this is done in cwm.

Rom needs to be on the external SD card for best results.

If you want to restore apps with Titanium backup do it after you flashed the rom

If you can't acces your external SD , try a other brand or put the rom on the internal memory of your tablet.

Update the cwm to the latest version 1.6v2 , visit the site tegraowners for that.

I'm sure this is user error , so please before you start flashing rom read everything.

What do you mean with this " but if I put the new program, they disappear!" , so everything works fine until you install a new app ??
[Acer Iconia A500] allexx71:
will try to assist.

the problem is that after installation of CWM and rebooting to recovery, tablet does not see it. And trying to reboot to stock recovery.

If reboot to normal mode Acer Recovery Installer not in installed applications list, the same with other aaps, if You install some, after rebooting they are not listed in the Apps.

Have tryed with this guy to unbrick device by follow instructions. without success.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
So something went wrong installing CWM ?

The device is rooted ? You need root to use acer recovery installer and flash recovery. What is on the tablet , HC3.2 stock or ......
[Acer Iconia A500] kindralbob:
the tablet is civato mix-3

Root is on

setting the recovery installer, but it disappears when you next reboot, as if it was not

the fact that I did not go to recovery! Power + "-" here gives this result

Erasing cashe before SD Update ...

SD update cmd: recovery

- update_package = sdcard: ipdate.zip

secure boot: sos checksum fail
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Do you have a update.zip file on your external sd ?

Well remove it , if you flash with cwm , flash the rom or kernel or mod or whatever with option " install from zip file" and then you select the zip of the rom , the zip file name can't be to long and no spaces in the name.

If you put a .zip file called "update.zip" it will run automaticly and that is why you don't see other cwm options. And if that update.zip happens to be corrupt you get a checksum fail , if the name of the .zip got spaces in it you get checksum fail.
[Acer Iconia A500] allexx71:
device is rooted.

last ROM is Yours from topic

installation of acer recovery installer successfull

recovery flashed... but after rebooting into recovery mode tablet does't see it.and rebooted to standart recovery mode/

same situation with other apps. after rebooting all new installed - gone/

therefore he 's not able to enter to CWM
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well my rom doesn't flash a recovery , something must have gone wrong when flashing cwm recovery if it runs the stock recovery from acer.

Try downloading a stock HC3.1 full package here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113878

Call it "update.zip" and put it on your external SD and reboot into recovery , it will run the update zip , even if it is stock recovery.

If that worked , root your device with this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138228

Install acer recovery installer and install the CWM recovery and update it then with the latest , download the latest here : http://www.tegraowners.com/?p=1326

Put that cwm recovery zip on your external sd and flash the new recovery cwm from there.

If that doesn't work try this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

I never got the problem that you have , I removed the recovery from the rom so it won't replace the cwm recovery , something you did must have got it mixed up.
[Acer Iconia A500] allexx71:
have tryed all of it already as well as different versions of CWM. nothing helped.

:(

thanks anyway
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Did you try installing cwm this way:

you need "terminal emulator" from market and do these commands ,

from terminal (TABLET):

su

chmod 755 /data/local/itsmagic

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

mount -o ro,remount /system

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

./data/local/itsmagic

or use use adb (PC):

adb push recovery.img /sdcard

adb push itsmagic /data/local
[Acer Iconia A500] kindralbob:
or use use adb (PC):

1.adb push recovery.img /sdcard

2.adb push itsmagic /data/local

where to get these files(recovery.img & itsmagic) and put them where?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
itsmagic is included in the recovery ,

If you really want the itsmagic file and instructions here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1121543

all files need to be in the directory from where you are doing adb....

Good luck !
[Acer Iconia A500] chefdave12118:
I love how civato says he's a noob. If that's the case, he's a noob with the best dam rom and tweaks in the Acer 500 forums IMHO. Its my opinion guys, neither right or wrong. I've tried em all and this one is my home.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I am m8, bought my first tablet back in august, this Packard bell libertytab.

Don't now sh!t about Linux just some c++ and c#.

I do now how to mod nvidia bioses, I wrote a guide and a little tool to mod the Fermi cards.

That can be found on guru3d and I do translation for Msi afterburner application.

That's all hobbys like clan admin.

Day job is stress hell so this is my relief.
[Acer Iconia A500] chefdave12118:
Can your next hobby be a cure for cancer because you're dam good with your hobbies. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Thanks m8, if I could I would,that would be great.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
GPS problem is worked on , uploading 3B , the font type I'm not going to change .

I like it , there needs to be some Byakhee in it , respect to williamfold. It is based on his rom so not changing everything I like what he did there.

There are other HC3.2 roms with default fonts , For me I didn't like the home, back and menu button and some apps on Byakhee that is why I changed it.

I almost bricked my tab by messing with the Framework.apk , I'm not doing it all over again , like I say in the first post I'm a big noob at this linux android stuff.

And I got a wife and 2kids , they are not going to like it if I spend my whole day messing around with my tab. I think she will kick me out if I keep messing up her tablet.:D

If it is just for the netflix you can use any A500 rom and flash the patch from ezterry.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Not having the shutdown problem , clear cache and maybe app that is causing it.

For the font type ,why don't you use this rom and put the apk's in that you want , it is a stock rooted deodexed rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1277243 , download the apk's that you need from the second post in the thread and put them in the rom/system/app zip before you flash.

Then you got stock , rooted default font HC3.2 7.006.01 version. ready to flash with CWM.
[Acer Iconia A500] pimpmaneaton:
Or if you just want to change out you fonts I have a thread in the themes and apps section that has over 300 fonts and can easily change them out and still stay with this rom.

Sent from my Sensation Rockin CoreDroid!
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
Thanks.I'll check that out because so far I really like this ROM over the others I've tried.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I'v added you in the first post , with link to the thread for the font changing.
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
do you know the name of the stock font? This ROM really is good. I just have difficulty reading the type on Web pages.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I will upload MIX_3C = same rom but all default A500 fonts and digits.

Just wait I'm testing. (just 4 you)

EDIT: MIX_3C uploaded = default fonts and digits , see first post and enjoy.
[Acer Iconia A500] Romcheg:
I'm waiting standart fonts too... :)

Ooo! It's here now!

Can I flash it over 3B without wipe?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well MIX_3C is online, see first post and enjoy.

If you already got MIX_3A installed just wipe cache and dalvik before you flash MIX_3B or 3C over it , no need to wipe DATA.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yes , just wipe cache and dalvik before flash
[Acer Iconia A500] Romcheg:
I've downloaded twice bad file.

check it please
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
You rock! Studying right now. Looking forward to my break
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
How is it bad ? I just tested and ran a checksum on the download and the downloaded file got the same checksum then the original rom here on my system so the download is not corrupted over here.

Maybe bad internet connection.

Download on to your pc and copy it to your microsd card , downloading to tablet is for some slow with "megaupload" and can be corrupted then.

EDIT : I even flashed the downloaded MIX_3C rom on my tab after full wipe and no problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] realricochet:
Update From previous!??

Can i update from your version mix 1 RC,and how please!?:D
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No m8 , A whole different rom layout , I think you will get issues if you do.

If you upgrade from MIX_3A to B or C there is no problem.

You can try , but don't know if all will work.
[Acer Iconia A500] elsuirad:
Question:

Do I have to do this to be able to install your ROM?:confused:

- wipe cache partition

- mounts and storage

- format /cache

- format /data

- format /flexrom (A500 only)

Currently using Thor Transformer Revolver 3.5 Port v4.1
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Only this:

- wipe cache partition

-wipe dalvik

I'm uploading 3B1 and 3C1 version , changes are New netflix 1.4.1 with rotation included and Linktofacebook.apk (for the sociale people)
[Acer Iconia A500] Romcheg:
I've done it. All seems to be OK :)

Good job Civato!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Ok m8 , glad it worked out for you , enjoy !!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Jim M:
Megaupload is only downloading about 230kb to my Acer. I've tried downloading a few times and they've all been like that.
[Acer Iconia A500] hatefuel19:
Hey civato I know requests are the rudest thing a user can do so I'll make an observation instead :) crt animation would be awesome on this rom and if it never happens this will still be the best rom for the iconia. Just an observation ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well I tried it but it is to unstable and causes so much problems , can't get it to work properly. So sorry but not for now. I've seen Thor removed it from his rom gonna ask him about that.

Edit:

I remembered when I checked my pm's , I asked Thor a while back , it is in one of the post in this thread , He pulled it because of to much problems.

and considering it is discontinued .......................

sorry m8.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Little update to ICS bleu and white mod.

Nothing big , just the system buttons have a other effect when pressed (taken from original ICS).
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Discontinued

This is what I mean about getting nothing back from user.

You put your best effort in this and then some @sshole comes along and rates it bad because he probably screwed his tablet.

I got only a few people giving feedback and telling me they liked it.Or what was wrong.

Well seeing the rating go down without motivation is for me an insult.

So for now discontinued

I was going to release the red mod and testing bleu ICS mixed with red mod but with this crap, NO.

Sorry to the few that really appreciated my work.

Latest rom release over 550+ downloads , total rom downloads Mix/Flexspeed/ Flexthunder 2000+ posted in this thread and only 142 thanks , zero donations.

That is not showing you like it ...........................but..rating down is insulting ...........................
[Acer Iconia A500] atililla:
Sorry to hear you discontinued the development of your ROM.

I just downloaded it yesterday, and coming from the latest Thor's rom I just found yours as stable as Thor's but nicer.

Thank you for your effort, the world is plenty of ungrateful people.

Best regards

"It's not the Dev's fault but your ignorance as a user..."

First things First,, It's not the ROM that screwed your Device's but your Ignorance as a User for not reading and thinking this is all clear to me and make the next step prior to ROOTING or FLASHING..

Second as all of the Dev's here says.. "MAKE A NAND BEFORE FLASHING.." you as a user takes the risks involves for what will happen to your device..

Third The Dev's to the best they can to make our problems to be solved prior to the original/shipped OS, Interface, or Software..

"They fix the problem people They Fix The Problems..."

And Fourth Say Thanks or if you have a chance Give them/ Buy them a booze to keep working and be inspired..

As a user we are so called the Beta Testers for The Dev's Releases.. We take risk and XDA Don't screwed you over..

Cheers..
[Acer Iconia A500] life02:
Sorry to see you go... I just installed yesterday after being on thor's 3.2.1 and I really like you rom. I was still trying to test everything but everything has been great so far.

I had this finished today ...

But you all will have to wait until respect comes back to me.

Thanks KJY for your support.
[Acer Iconia A500] spaz2k7:
Thank You

Thank you for all your hard work, I must admit I have been using your Rom since original release and have been using it as a daily driver ever since.

It is sad to see you discontinue your work however I completely understand.

Unfortunately I do not have the means to Donate or else I would. I used to offer the dev of the rom I was using hosting space and free bandwidth for their users to download the work but I got shut down by my host for going over 400GB bandwidth in just 2 days....

Anyways, Thank you for all your hard work and all the best over the holidays.

[Acer Iconia A500] monkey10120:
Sorry to hear that you have discontinued the rom. By far the best. Trust me if I could use PayPal, I would of gave you a donation. I can see that you worked hard on this and I feel bad using it without paying for it.

I agree with you about not continuing. Good luck and again thanks for your work.

Have a good vacation lol :-P
[Acer Iconia A500] mdabar:
Hi Civato, it's really a pitty!!

I discovered your ROM last week, coming from Lightspeed and thanked since I know how much work there is behind the files we download.

Nonetheless I do understand your position, you are doing a hard work and the only thing you are asking for in return is, at least, the thanks from the users.

Best regards and good luck with your upcoming projects! because I'm sure there will be.

Cheers

[Acer Iconia A500] Rainbowbright081:
This has been my daily driver on my A500 since I bought it. Civato, much appreciation for what you have done for us, and this will be the only ROM on my Acer until someone can surpass the stability and awesomeness this rom has provided.

I completely understand why you have discontinued this project, it seems as though XDA has become a breeding ground for trolls, sending the great developers such as yourself packing.

You have yourself a VERY MERRY christmas and enjoy the time you would have been spending on this with your family, I'm sure they will enjoy it.

Cheers m8, and thanks again for all your great contributions to this community!
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
+1 a thousand times, Civato!

I've never flashed your rom, but I'm grateful for your help and worries about the Honeylicious ICS mod. Thank you very much, mate! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Jim M:
I've been using your ROM's since you put the first one out. They have always been great, and you helped me right away with a problem I had with GPS. I'm running on my tablet and my wife's.

Good job and thank you.

Stay thirsty my friend.
[Acer Iconia A500] mygraine:
Sorry that it came to this, I never used your rom, Gameloft investment kept me stuck to stock, but now that I have beaten those games I planned on checking out other roms. Any dev that is supporting a device is an asset to the community, when someone walks away we all suffer even if you don't like their roms, the people they help and inspire keep fresh roms coming. Cheers and thanks for work.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
THANKS 4 the support !!!!

I would like to thank the people for the support pm's , posts and beers.

Like KJY told me I wouldn't be abble to stop , well he is correct.

This is what i've been working on today.

First I updated my rom with Market 3.4.4 and "wifi low power consumption" module (By Thor) , (But I won't upload it this year , I wan't to test it and let cool things down for me and enjoy the family these days)

Working on the Bleu/Red ICS inspired theme. This is what it looks like.(Not releasing it for now)

It is a mix of Blue and red details and some more ICS icones
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Great to see you back in the saddle bro! Welcome back! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jesa26:
Best ROM yet!

I've tried every ROM on the planet since I bought my A500 (great developer community is why I chose this tablet). I finally found my home.

Civato, cheers for the hard work, and looking forward to what you come up with next! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Been following your rom and its looking good I will try as soon as you release a version with the ice red n blue.

Keep it up!

Great work civato I think with you and kjy2010 I think all of us xda users and owners of this tab will be in great hands!

[Acer Iconia A500] mdabar:
Hi again Civato, happy to see you active again!!

Take your time, take a rest and charge the batteries ;-) we will all be waiting for your new version.

[Acer Iconia A500] chefdave12118:
Taking a break????? What!?!?!?

You owe us roms! What is this discontinued stuff???? Lol. Just kidding ;)

Have a nice holliday buddy and can't wait to see what you cook up in 2012 :) Awesome work as always!
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
My new rom is done , but it is in testing .(look at my sig , the name of my new rom)

-Build in Bleu/Red mod (very nice effects) , updated = market , busybox, googlemaps ......

-More balanced tweaks and modules , build in wifi optima and dhcp lease patch , openvpn support , cif , 3Gmodem +3GusbHuawei build in support (no patch needed) , new bootanimation , new wallpapers ...........................

-Automatic update to latest recovery cwm1.6v2 when you flash rom..............

And ........................... I think this is by far the best I can do with HC3.2 and the last build for HC3.2 rom , maybe more mods for this rom , time will tell.

But for now it is just for me , and don't know if I will be releasing it here at xda because the rom got build in Thor kernel (same as flexthunder , but infact it is against the xda rules) and now also the automatic update to thor's cwm1.6v2.

So I think it will not be possible to release it over here considering I respect xda rules.

I am grateful for this place but for me the most important thing is releasing a very good rom with only the best experience for the user. and I don't want to brake xda rules but I want to keep my freedom and I will always help users if I can !

To be continued......................................

OMG I want to test out the striker build so bad!

I bet it's even more perfect than previous builds...
[Acer Iconia A500] chairhome:
Loved the ROM, but I've had a problem with different ROMs and finally this one, too, where it would not go into deep sleep correctly and would drain the battery. It wouldn't wake up and I would have to charge it.

Then, I tried to reboot after charging and it went into a bootloop. wiped, reset, reloaded this ROM and went into a bootloop again. Wonder if I have a hardware issue, but I really liked this ROM so I will try again for the next version. Thanks for the software, have a great holiday!
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
Great, Civato!

Have a nice work and merry christmas, and a great 2012! :D:D:D

Keep in touch with your ROM development!

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Well I flash my tablet 20 times a day when I'm testing rom.

And sometimes I have bootloops but that is my own problem because of messed up framework.

Tablet not going to sleep , well never had that problem , maybe you got a app installed that messes that up.

Try wiping all stuff , maybe you got some corrupt data.

do this:

Update to latest cwm 1.6v2 , go 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"

format system , cache , flexrom , DON'T FORMAT SD.

Reinstall rom

this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory
[Acer Iconia A500] Digil:
I haven't used too many ROMs, but this is so far the most stable and fast ROM I have tried. It's a great user experience, and I don't see myself flashing anything else for a while. (Unless, of course, civato gives us some of that Flexstriker love)

Thanks for taking the time and effort to make A500 ownership that much more enjoyable for all of us. Have a Happy Holiday!
[Acer Iconia A500] hatefuel19:
