It seems that Brothers In Arms has issues with tegra based devices not just ours. Even the Xoom is having issues running it without FCs. Looking at the logcat looks like the "black screen" that this game shows is actually trying to display an unsupported function in video resulting in crashing the application. Might be able to get it to work by using Chainfire 3D and playing around with the settings in it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Thanks crossix for the evaluation and good point about using chainfire. Will try to muck with it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Just installed Modern Warfare 3 via market and runs fine. The only issue is I think from what the comments on the market that its not as smooth as MC2. I have to agree. I think Gameloft rushed it?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dharr18:
Testing this out now. Looks very promising. This should have its own topic in the dev section. Rebooted without issue and found plenty of new apps in the market. Testing Asphalt 6 download and NFL Rivals, will report back later on success or fail.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
I dont know that it's really dev worthy, its more of a work around to get more stuff to show up in the market and more apps compatable. It makes everything think that your device is a a500 so some apps may break thinking it should have a 1280x800 resolution when it doesnt.

I do want to make a more official "stickied" post though with this and all the other hacks scattered around the forum currently when I get time.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dharr18:
asphalt 6 isn't working, might be a bad download, it is not complaining about three device, just fc. I will retry later. all others I have tried are working great. it also fixed three issue I was having with duke nuke fcing. thanks, this is great.

UPDATE: Asphalt 6 is working after redownloading the additional data.

UPDATE 2: Stupid zombies is also working...

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Crossix any input on how to get Dead Space to show up in the Market? Also any idea if we can change vold.sftab to make external_sd act as internal. I have only 1.7gb left so I'm limited to how many game data I can download in the future unless I finish a game and delete the data afterwards. GL to SD doesnt work on some games like Asphalt6, MC3, Brother in Arms. Just bought a 32gb card class 10 I wanna put to use =). Maybe its time to post your dirty hack.....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Unfortunately, Acer didn't use vold.fstab to mount /mnt/sdcard only /mnt/external_sd and /mnt/usb_storage. It looks like in this build acer put /mnt/sdcard in the init, which can't be changed without a custom rom (either unlocked bootloader or work around like 2nd init).

Also, I wouldn't recommend my dirty hack, I created a folder on the sdcard and did a mount -bind to the gameloft folder (had to do it this way rather than a symbolic link since my card is formatted to fat32). I have a script that does the mount first and then launches the game from the command line. The problem with this is that anytime the game updates, it causes a FC and I have to wipe out the game and start all over again.

I'm working on a different hack at the moment that will just write everything out to /mnt/external_sd. Only downside of doing this is that all apps, their data, downloads, everything will be stored on the external card (I have a 32gb card so I could care less). The internal card won't be able to be written to at all, but this will resolve the FC issue and increase your storage space.

The only reason I can think that dead space isn't showing is because of the version of android we're running (3.2.1 vs the a500's 3.1) Some apps check for both device id and build number. We changed the device id to match the a500, but there's no way to change the build number.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Thats what I was afraid of since I didn't see any line in the vold.fstab for mnt/sdcard. Let me know how the new hack comes out. You seem to be the one thats making the greatest effort with our a100 and I really appreciate it. As I'm sure so do others.

It's too bad about Dead Space. I bought it on my HTC Evo 3d soon as it came out but since I got the a100 I don't like playing games anymore on the Evo. The 7 inch is the best size IMO for gaming.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
has anyone been able to play adventures of tintin? It installs nd I'm able to dl data but it won't open after dl. I just get a back screen for a few seconds then closes.

EDIT: NM I switched over to stock a100 build.prop (I was using crossix a500 mod) redownloaded the game and it opened. Went back to a500 build.prop mod rebooted and the game still opened. But wow this game looks awful. I thought this was HD in the images from Market? WTH

Ok found out if the game is fully supported the game is in HD otherwise its 2d low res worse than NES graphics. But we have tegra2 so I dont get it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nolan.b:
On stock A100, these install and run no prob:

- Fruit Ninja

- Sentinel 3

- Minecraft PE

- Dungeon Defender

Had purchased for other device (Atrix 4G) and market won't budge or get NAN msg on in-app download:

- Sims 3

- Asphalt 6
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Weird I got Asphalt 6 to work easily. As for Sims 3, Sim City, N4S Shift, and any other EA games, they don't work. I can't get past the NAN 0mb of 0mb.

I e-mailed EA several times and got one response (asking to send back info) and that was it. I replied and got nothing back. I e-mailed again and again over a month's time and to this day not one e-mail back from them.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] californiarailroader:
This worked great, thank you! I am having the same issues though with Sims 3, it just won't download the necessary files.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Its not a problem with just our device, all EA Games have issues with lots of devices.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mysticg:
Does Modern Combat 3 work for you all? It force closes on me lately. It used to work before..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dharr18:
No problems here. Did you get the OTA system update applied to the tablet? If so, the build.prop mod would have been reset.

Also, are you using GL2SD or the mod to use SD card storage?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] californiarailroader:
I changed my build.prop after updating, rebooted and then tried both 9MM and MC3, but now they're giving me the "Not compatible with your device" message again. I checked the build.prop again and it was edited correctly, weird.

Edit-I figured it out, I forgot to change ro.product.model=A100 to A500.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mysticg:
I have my build.prop updated with the A500 info.. Still can never get 9MM runing, which I dont think works on the A100 anyways. Just can't figure out why Modern Combat 3 was working, and now all of a sudden dosent work any more.. Ive tried reinstall, about 5 times, clearing cahche and deleting from SD card myself... Nothing work after reinstalling. Data downloads, but game will not work when trying to launch.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
9mm works fine for me, havnt tried mc3 yet..

Crossix what are the chances this will work on a Transformer Prime? I posted it in the prime thread for someone to test. I'm getting a prime soon so I hope it works.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Not sure, I dont know enough about what's under the hood on that device. I think its tegra3 based, so the board build would be different. Either way, I wouldnt attempt it until you get a recovery for it first.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
You're right. I decided to open up my prime and tried it but no go. Kinda bummed cause there's even less gameloft games for the prime.

Games I *NEED*: Order and Chaos, Dungeon Hunter 2 HD (no I am not rooted)

ETA 01/22/12: Dungeon Hunter 2 HD is now available on the A100 at the Gameloft site. Plays awesome too, this size tab is perfect for this game. Gotta love Diablo clones... :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Order and Chaos wont work unless you root and put on a custom build.prop until they decide to mark the a100 compatible.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] fisterkev:
Yeah I know. I just don't want to go through the trouble to do it.

I can play it on the phone and the wife's Kindle Fire, just wish that GL supported this device better.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Zelaphi:
Thanks Crossix - I used the root instructions that were given and also the second link in your signature tag to tweak my Acer Iconia A100 - the instruction were right on and worked perfectly... was instantly able to see Order & Chaos on the market, downloaded it and it works PERFECTLY... You guys rock - THANKS A MILLION!!

I have a thread dedicated entirely to customizing the build.prop, and part of it is specifically for getting your device recognized as an A500 instead of A100 so that the Play Store (formerly Market) will show more apps/games. The thread is located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29472730 The information in the thread is put together using CM9 from 7/08/2012 If you have a different major release other than 4.0.x then please modify the build.prop accordingly to match your release or you WILL have a "soft bricked" A100!

If you have any issues, recommendations, concerns feel free to contact me, I will respond as soon as I can.

View attachment 755795

^ leaked stock android music player (v2.3.0b5) (dsp manager works fine)

The ideas behind a "Completely White Theme/UI" for CM7 are:[/B]

<<<Note: white theme meaning= white backgrounds with black text>>>

- in a case of ordinary mobile phone use, the screen is the biggest energy consumer.

- TFT LCD technology implies that white backgrounds are more energy efficient than black backgrounds.

- a white background takes 100% advantage of the screens luminosity, thus it is easier to use in direct sunlight.

- in general use, a black text on a white background is more friendly to the eyes (higher contrast and easy to read).

- in low light conditions, the screen can be used at a lower/minimal brightness rate, thus saving battery life without affecting visibility.

The only white theme for MDPI devices is JAMT White gradient.

The "donate" version includes a white dialer and white statusbar/notifications.

My humble request: a theme with white background for settings menus/music player, and white background widgets.

I have added a poll, so that developers/themers can see if this ideea has potential.

LATER EDIT:

Here's the best white theme I could find

Here's what I mean: completely white UI (Settings menu, Music player, widgets, etc.)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] nickeedoo:
I'd also like to see this. Something like a MIUI theme for the theme chooser. I'd rather have just the theme from MIUI and the behavior of CM7.

I also LOVE the direction that the white gradient JAMT theme is going in, but a system-wide version. Menus, toast notifications, etc.

It would be really cool if you could mod the Music Player and maybe the widget backgrounds.

[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] nshaziq89:
Solved?

So how was the battery life?

Is it clearer during bright sunlight?
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] medinstpro:
First, it's tough for me to give you an answer for you first question. You must be aware that the "battery life" improvement is small. In my opinion and judging by the light use of brightness, you can save up to a maximum of 5% (?!). I repeat, this is only my opinion; i haven't made any tests.

Second, the text IS much more easier to read "in bright sunlight".

But then again, there's a need for improving the theme above.

Long story short: i've used my phone with minimum to 1/3 brightness level (indoors) and only 2-3 times 2/3 level of brightness (outdoors).

If you really want to know the differences of black/white backgrounds, then do the following:

- read your sms messages (medium brightness). I'm assuming you have the default black background.

- change the background to white (in messages app/settings) and read some more sms. CM7 message app has settings for background white/black.

Any differences?
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] nshaziq89:
Thanks for the long reply,

1. Ok, lets push aside the battery issue.

2. I'm on custom gb, but I tried surfing through xda app (white background) and indeed it provide better texts visibility.

Support for Huawei Ideos X6 variants other than Spice MI 410

Open build.prop file from /system/ folder for your working device in any text viewer/root explorer

Search for property ro.product.device value.

If the property value/ device name is other than mi410 then download Huawei Ideos X6 related files.zip from first post and extract mi410 file from it.

Rename mi410 to property value for ro.product.device

For example:

..

..

ro.product.model=FIH-FB0

ro.product.brand=FIH

ro.product.name=FIH-FB0

ro.product.device=FB0

ro.product.board=qcom

..

..

If this is how your build.prop file looks then rename mi410 to FB0

Please note that this file name is case sensitive. So do not rename it to fb0 instead.

Now copy this file in kitchen's tools/edify_defs folder.

[Huawei Ideos X6] kshitij_bhatt:
thanx i had read that before posting there are certain things i didn't understood thats why i asked for help i had read all the faq..

the basic problem i faced in window part that cygwin doesn't do anything though i have jdk already installed ... second in the faq there is no guide about linux except downloading java... so how can i do further if i dont have the guide :(

by the words cygwin doesn't do any thing is that when i double click the desktop shortcut ... it pops up a window and with an error that i cant even read it closes it self...

by taking a screen shoot i come to know that the error is in attachment
[Huawei Ideos X6] dsixda:
What do you mean there is no guide about Linux? There is a complete section in the FAQ on installing Linux under Windows, with VirtualBox and with Wubi; plus there is a section on how to install the kitchen if you already have Ubuntu on a dedicated Linux partition (for which you only really need to install JDK). This is all stuff I tested individually before describing it in the FAQ for people to follow.

NOTE -- I didn't go into detail on how to install Linux on a separate partition. I would doubt a new user would go that far (I'd recommend Cygwin or Windows virtualization of Linux), but even if they did, there is information on the internet on how to do it. I trust people know this (i.e. using Google). I don't want the FAQ to get into one long spoonfeeding exercise.

BTW - didn't you just say you had Ubuntu installed on a partition already?

I don't know about this, make sure you followed the instructions in the readme.txt carefully. I have never had problems installing Cygwin with my provided tools, as I have tried it on 3 different PCs which are either running XP or Windows 7. I didn't do anything extra, I just followed all the info I provided in the FAQ. Go to the Cygwin support pages for help if your PC is having trouble.

As you have already set up JDK on your linux OS, all your kitchen setup is done.

Just follow the "After following the setup for the kitchen, how do I use kitchen?" section from FAQ-page1. And go ahead in playing with kitchen.

A brief process summary of what still needs to be done:

Extract the kitchen's .zip file to a folder under your home directory. (Upper Panel Places>Home folder)

Open terminal and cd into kitchen's directory.

Fire ./menu command in it.

If all goes well, you should see all options of kitchen.
