I have been wanting a 7" tablet for a while. When I stumbled upon this thread I went straight to the best buy website. From about 11pm til about 3am me and the refresh key became really well aquented. Lol. I didn't know what time the sale was going to go live.

Well I finally got myself a 7" tablet. What's great is I only had to pay $111 out of pocket cause I had a $100 best buy gift card that I got for buying a new xbox. Even if it's not the greatest tablet out there, I don't think I can go wrong for $111.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jay_993:
so jealous man.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] samomamo:
Is sold out. Very interesting how many did they sell. So we can get some dev's and some action in this place.

I just got back from Wal-Mart, because they are open and I didn't feel like dealing with the shipping or lines at Best Buy. I showed the manager at Wal-Mart the Best Buy price on my phone through the "weekly ad" and they honored it.

Just got it set up. Letting it charge fully. The screen wash is not so much of an issue depending on which way you orientate the screen. If it's washing out...flip the screen over.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] matt314159:
I think I picked one up...I happened to catch it while it showed in stock, placed the order, and now it says "in process" with an expected ship date of "null / null" which is the only thing that worries me. But I think I was charged for it, so hopefully I got one without having to do deal with the crowds. I just hope it wasn't like when I 'bought' the touchpad from B&N...only to get cancelled the next day. Might be joining you all here soon and returning my kindle fire.

I just got one Price Matched at Wally World. I think this was actually a display unit or something but still for 189.99 even if it was its still an awesome deal.....way better than the fire IMHO.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ED2O9:
The Wally World where I picked up my Iconia Tab had about a dozen in stock and 11:30PM and had no problem price-matching. I was tempted to buy a couple... but didn't.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NeonMonster:
Just picked up my A100! So far I'm loving it and its totally worth the 4 hours in line I waited in front of Bestbuy. :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] an4564:
Just pick one of these up and I gotta say its pretty good kinda laggy in the browser but that's cuz I have flash on. Also odl if this was resolved or not but I saw u guys were arguing about the price, I can tell from buying it that it is 189 without the contract
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] matt314159:
so yours was the cellular model then? The one I got online was wifi only.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DaveRichardson:
Nah, I think he's referring back to that weird conflict earlier in the thread (where mtbbuilder was being pushily wrong about stuff). The only A100 Best Buy sold for $189 was the A100 (not the 3G A101).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] an4564:
as far as I knew they only have the wifi version

Hurry up at Walmart for price match..!!!

I'm typing this in a hurry as i am at work right now, but i just got conformation from the wife who just picked this bad boy up at walmart.

follow these instructions and you will get yours for the same exact price as they were sold on blackfriday sale.

again i don't have much time. so here it goes.

print out the Christmas price guarantee from the walmart website, as the link was

provided by earlier post.

the policy stated that this does not apply for black friday sales however it also

states

"Our ad-match still applies" , and thats why you need this print out.

google walmart ad match policy. print out the one off of the walmart website.

also find the physical bestbuy black friday ad that has the Iconia and pricing on it.

bring all this items with you before you head out.

check online at walmart to see which store still has it.

Now happy Hunting...

P.S.

Like i said, My wife just picked one up, no lie. if they give you a hard time, get

the manager, show your print outs etc etc, don't let 'em tell you no.

better do this before blackfriday ends.. you pay the same price as the bestbuy

ad up front, no gift card refund and stuff...

** edited

After all these running around, best buy has this on their website again for $189 and available.. lmao.

I guess it's a good thing ;)

I just ordered 2 of these yesterday from bestbuy.com. Should be coming in the mail this coming week. :D

Noticed we already have root, so I guess I will be getting acquainted with the 3.2 source asap, before they arrive. Let the research begin!

I got one too from best buy today. Like 3 actually, so I can give my uncle one for Christmas, and one for my father, and the other, for me :-)

Just joined this group. Went to a Best Buy in the afternoon completely convinced that I had missed the boat on this. The guy checked the stock on the floor and said they were sold out, but then a couple minutes later he came back with one in hand. He said they had more in the back, but what I had suspected was that he grabbed ones on hold for "In Store Pick Up" and sold it to me. It had an orange sticker on it with a hand written number. LOL.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] brundleflyy:
I just picked up a iPad2 for my daughter, a Galaxy Tab 10.1 for my wife and after reading the posts on XDA, I grabbed the $189 Iconia for myself. My pictures are awesomely clear compared to my kid's iPad2 and as I type this post my wife is playing with my Iconia side by side with her Galaxy Tab, she's in disbelief at the great price but amazed at how well it runs, no lags for me anywhere.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
I as pretty surprised when I went to order one online with I store pickup at around 5 I the evening and one of the local stores still has it in stock. I thought maybe it was an inventory error and my order would be canceled, but they still had some left.

So far I'm liking it, coming from a Nook Color.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] drumking:
I got the A100 today for my girlfriend. Went to bestbuy around 11am

thinking the tablet was already gone. None on the shelf but they had some in the

back :)

It's really fast and responsive, I should have gotten two. :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dharr18:
I asked the wife to check at Best Buy when she went out. She got there about 2:00 PM and there was 1 left at the back of the shelf...It was all mine!!! Mine I say!!! I have been waiting for weeks to see if I could luck out on one.

I had been comparing tablets for a while looking for an upgrade to my Viewsonic G-Tablet. I also wanted to get something a little more portable, smaller screen. I have been impressed with this tablet since I first played with it at Best Buy.

Now it is mine!

I will say one thing, battery life is not as bad as many reviews have made it out to be. Had my son play some PvZ and Cut the Rope for about an hour after I finished setting it up, installing all my apps and games I prefer. It was on constantly for at least 2 hours and barely dropped below 85% battery.

So far I am loving the A100.

Quick question, I was looking at the About Tablet and it says Gen2? I didn't realize there was a gen 2 out yet. Is anyone else seeing this in about tablet?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] addicus:
WalMart wouldn't price match because Best Buy's version ends with a U and WalMart's ends with a W. After calling around I got one at an obscure Best Buy a few towns over along with a 24in 1080p LED TV for $74! Both are for my 8yr old daughter. She loves the A100 as a replacement for the slow, unstable and frustrating Velocity Cruz I got her back in June. I am very impressed with the A100 so far. It should be great for her over the next few years.

I just ordered another one and am going to either give it as a Christmas gift to my dad, or give it to my 5 year old. Might sound crazy, but my son is incredibly careful with our phones and ipods that he uses to play games and watch movies. This might be great to keep him from using our stuff. I just need to decide if its going to go to my dad or my son.

Got mine for 149 at best buy

Well as we all know best buy has these for 189 but heres a trick for those of you willing to do it.. Some best buy stores are doing a promotion that if you sign up for a credit app they will give you a coupon for 20 bucks off anything. some stores only give 20 dollars of a sepcial list. well my store gave the discount on all items so me and my girlfriend both signed up for credit cards. you get the coupon weather you are approved or not. well we both got our 20 dollar coupons used them on the acer a100 and got it for 149. then when we came home we called the credit company told them we didnt like the terms and canceled lol. well worth it to get the iconia for 149. I know im sharing this late but some best buys are open late and yours might do the coupons too. Im in north carolina if anyone was wondering. the cerdit sign up takes all of 3 mins to do super quick for such a big savings.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] robotsforeveryone:
I stood in line for 2 hours to get my hands on this little bad boy. I have the 10.1" Acer and a Thrive. But it's impossible to work on it with one hand.

I do a lot of selling on eBay and it's nice to have a more compact tablet to walk around with.

So far I'm pleased. Running aftermarket launchers like Go look way better on a smaller screen. It's responsive and fast. Although the screen is a bit dim for my taste. Even after turning the brightness up. I threw a 16gb card in and that seems like plenty of space.

ICS had better be here by January as "promised" or I'll have a bit of buyers remorse. :p
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Gnoop:
Still waiting for Best Buy to ship mine. By the time I heard about the possibility of grabbing it in store, they were out in my area. I went in today to check it out and had at least 4 of 5 people ask to get one only to be told they're all out.

Now to pick up a car charger and find a suction cup-based car mount for it. It should come in handy for road trips :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bigwooly:
I just picked mine up at the Wal-mart in Conyers Ga. I called at least 15 walmart locations in the Metro Atlanta Area. All were price matching the best buy deal and were sold out. I check on line tonight after i knew the inventory would have been in store and it said they had them in stock. I drove over gave the manager the ad. She verified that the prices were good thought midnight tonight and matched it with no further questions asked.

It's on the charger now.

For $189 this was by far the best tablet deal out there on black Friday.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Tikerz:
I'd have to agree. Great bargain.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tsnstuff:
I went into Best Buy on black friday at about noon not having a clue what deals were going on because normally I don't pay any attention to the black friday stuff, I tend to run away from it. Anyway, noticed this A100 on sale for 189 and I couldn't believe it. I also couldn't believe that they still had like 10 left. I grabbed one quick!

I already have a Xoom but I've been kind of looking for something smaller as a secondary tablet because sometimes I do feel my 10 inch tablet is too big for certain things. I had a HP Touchpad as a secondary tablet but that wasn't helping me any because it's just as big. So I sold that to my sister for the same $100 I paid for it and now it's kind of like I paid $90 for the A100.

I'm a bit sad to let go of the Touchpad but I honestly wasn't using it and my nephew could get some use out of it. I'll miss having a WebOS device. As for the A100, so far I'm loving it. I've already noticed me enjoying some games much more on that device than the 4 inch phone screen or the 10 inch xoom.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Gnoop:
Looks like I'll be returning my A100 once it arrives. I stopped by Best Buy with the family and the wife and I both seemed to prefer the 9-10" size. As luck would have it, Best Buy put up the A500 8gb this morning for their Cyber Monday deal for $229 and I couldn't resist.

Hi,

I tried using the internet passthrough facility on my Desire HD but was unable to do so.

I have enabled all the the application (.exe) files in Program Files(X86)\HTC directory to access internet completly without any restrictions.

But if the firewall is ON my phone cant access the internet, but if i switch off the McAfee firewall, internet is accessible from my phone.

Has anybody got a solution to this or faced a similar problem?

About dalvik-cache? It remains in phone memory?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Taki2011:
Hi I cant understand How to use it ! any guide ?!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
dalvik-cache remains, so does all of the app related data. Only the APK's is moved.

First of all you need a custom rom. If you have a stock rom it will not work since you need a rom that will allow custom scripts during boot.

You will also need to know how to use ADB (An android tool for communicating with your phone. It is used to enter the android shell and also to transfer files to and from the phone, among other things).

And last, you will need at least 2 or 3 partitions on your sdcard (Otherwise it's a waste of time, although the script is build to adapt for these scenarios). One as a regular fat32 sdcard partition, one for the sd-ext and one for the cache. (Use ext2 for the last two. ext3 will eat your card to fast)

Here is the steps (You need to have ADB working on your computer).

Copy/Paste the script content into a file editor and safe the file with the name "99mounts2sd"

Plug your phone to your computer using a usb cable (Select charge only on your phone))

Open a terminal on your computer (In windows use "run" and type "cmd")

Type in shell: "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system"

Type in shell: "adb push <path to script> /system/etc/init.d/"

Type in shell: "adb shell chmod a+x /system/etc/init.d/99mounts2sd"

Reboot your phone

The first time you boot your phone using the script it will take some time, because the script needs to copy all of your APK's from internal storage to the sd-ext partition.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
The script has been rewritten. Better checks and more options has been added.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] denzel09:
Great script
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dyehya:
It didn't work for me, I made the files made sure they were in the right place and rebooted but booted normally. No delay on first boot and still seems to not be using the other two partitions on my sd card. i used cwm4 to partiton my SD card and it is partitioned correctly (3 partitons). I see the script says "log" I don't know where the log is stored or how to view it. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
To see the log, type in the terminal: "logcat | grep mounts2sd". Download a terminal or use ADB.

Also run the command "df -h" to see what is mounted where.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sineld:
thanks for the share.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
#7 @dyehya

It seams that logcat has a very limited lifetime. In order to get the log info, you would have to get it during boot.

Instead I have updated the script to do this itself. Update your script and config file content with the new above code.

In the config file set VAR_DEBUG="yes" and reboot your phone. Now enter a terminal and type "cat /var/mounts2sd.log | grep mounts2sd" which will show you all the messages from the script, and possible errors, if any.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dyehya:
I am not sure what is going on in boot. I just saw your replies and haven't had a chance to update the script and mess with the phone. I do know that when I was playing with it before it kept using the busybox minimal that was in the kernel loaded in sbin I tried copying your version of busybox into bin and xbin (and now reverted back) but it would still use the one in sbin. What I would really like to do and would recommend is you design the script where you can put busybox in a certain location and the script will use that version over any other versions. I am still learning with all this and despite being able to create the files throw them in the correct places I don't know the code well enough to do this myself. Thanks again for all your help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
Ok i have changed the script so that it now forces the usage of /system/xbin/busybox or /system/bin/busybox and ignores /sbin/busybox

Place a full busybox version in one of the system bin folders, update the script and see what happends.

Otherwise paste a copy of "df -h" and "cat /data/mounts2sd.log | grep mounts2sd" here so that I can see what it does during boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] virus2013:
Thanks for this. Just flashed the ICS beta 0.1 with your a2sd embedded. Just a suggestion, I added $CMD_CHMOD 777 $CMD_BUSYBOX at line 260, just after the affectation of CMD_BUSYBOX.

For now, it seems to work very well !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
That I don't get? $CMD_CHMOD is undefined at line 260 and why use busybox to change permissions on itself?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] virus2013:
Sorry, I'm tired... :-\

In fact, I just wanna be sure that the busybox in /system/bin was executable as I pushed it into the rom zip. And as chmod was already used upper, I was thinking it could be a good idea. However, I'm not a script writer! ;-)

This looks good, can you please confirm?

Also, why is /data not on ext partition but on phone memory?

Thanks for the script though!

Cheers, keep up the good work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
That looks as it should.

The whole /data is not moved to the /sd-ext for that simple reason that there are no hboot out there with 0mb /data.

I have options in my script to move both the .apk files (The applications) and the dalvik-cache which are the biggest things in the /data partition. If I moved everything to sd-ext, there would be nothing using the remaining space available on the internal data which is a waste of good space. It's like having an extra room in your house that is not used for anything at all. If we have to have it, we might as well use it :)

BTW:

You don't have dalvik-cache aktivated. So if you ever need more space on /data, activate it in /system/etc/mounts2sd.conf
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] uzi2:
Could you provide an example mounts2sd.conf file, so that all settings could be established at first boot. This would make it much easier when updating ROMS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dunc001:
You don't need a .conf file now - it's not used. You simply install the zip and then use the m2sd commands in terminal to make changes (see instructions in OP - type m2sd help for more info)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
The config files is deprecated and replaced with the "m2sd" command, as said above. Settings is saved to /data/.m2sd which means that it keeps your settings when you flash new ROM's as long as you don't wipe data.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sarshadd:
Same. Doesn't seem to work. He's going to make a debug version to see whats up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androidity3000:
Yes, I tried this ROM with a clean install on CM7.2 and still no dice. I'm on the Nexus One (gingerbread ROMs) with working EXT partitions (as other scripts DO work). This seems like a cool script I hope he gets it to work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dk_zero-cool:
Ok just used the last 48 hours debugging, rebuilding and testing this script. I also added the debug option as promised, however I don't think it will be needed anymore as I have fixed a lot of bugs I stumbled across while rebuilding everything.

But should it be needed, then it can be enabled by the command "m2sd debug enable" or from within the Aroma installer.
