Notice

At this time, I have agreed to try and take over responsibilities for KJY's ROM. There are reason's, which I do not care to get into at this time.

So if you have issues, please do not hesitate to post them, and I will try my best to answer them.

Moscow Desire
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Let's see, you had issues, then you restored form a CWM restore file, you had issues with superuser, so you changed complete recoveries, and expected RA to properly install a CWM recovery, and now you have Wifi issues.

Question, ever think that maybe something was wrong with your recovery image?

This isn't a Rom issue.

Look in the threads about Taboonay2, and I am confident you will find the same Superuser issues from awhile back. In fact, you will probably find the same in a few roms.

If you flash a rom, and the gps works great, then sometime later, you do what you did, you can;t expect everything to be perfect. Sometimes, it's best to flash fresh.

I know....

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

Is strange nobody else reports this. Usually, if an image file is missing on 1, it's missing on all.

And that's something that can't be missed on testing ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
No I changed recoveries then reflashed the ROM clean. It's def better than anything I've tried yet but it does just drop WiFi at random.

But I'm still really happy with the ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Moscow,

Do you know if this rom has the wifi dhcp lease fix?
[Acer Iconia A500] Chr0nicDreamz:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. I finally find a ROM that is worth while for this tablet... only to get the "file was deleted" error lol
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
Where is kjy2010

Whats up with kjy2010 ?

His membership and thanks meter seems screwed up.
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
I think he left XDA. His profile page comes up as he not registered. Also the link for his Rom works, but it seem his files on those servers are deleted.
[Acer Iconia A500] nwolfe90:
i think he switched over to transformer prime from the looks of his website
[Acer Iconia A500] Erik_T:
Hm.. he seems to have taken down his site too. Bummed. I never did download his icy faux rom before he took it down... anyone wanna reupload? I liked the theming job that he did on it.
[Acer Iconia A500] strra:
his a200 ics leak thread was a hotbed for flaming activity... both from him and others...

that thread was wiped twice and now it's closed, the same day he mysteriously disappeared...

ban hammer?
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
Well, if the download links to the ROMs no longer work because the files have been deleted off the share servers, then this is pretty much a dead thread.

He gave the A500 some good ROMs and will be missed, but I have to say I'm less than impressed at how he abruptly left XDA.

Oh, well.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chr0nicDreamz:
**** man.. now ive gotta scour for a mirror... damn it
[Acer Iconia A500] bwhite757:
I'll upload it to my server tomorrow. I got the rom on my work computer.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No it doesn't.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I have to agree. I believe KJY put 100% stock, so I don't think he added the patch.

Might help the ones who have wifi dropping. (now, if I can only locate the patch)

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Just for the record, KJY DID NOT get banned from XDA. He requested that his account be deleted as in his personal e-mail to me. His contributions will be missed.

"I" requested the a200 thread be totally deleted due to a couple of very nasty trolls, especially 1 that I requested be lifetime banned, due to what would be considered physical threats.

XDA is not the place to carry on with such behavior. That can be done in backwoods chat rooms.

With that said, we should continue working on roms and issues.

As with putting his roms on a server for download and providing a link, I don't think he'd mind, as his roms are in compliance with GPL.
[Acer Iconia A500] soopahfly:
Bugs me that so many people don't know what XDA-Developers is about.

The way some people treat and talk to the developers is disgusting.

They don't owe you anything.

I'm no Dev, but I appreciate the work that the do.

I help people with the stuff I know about and the fixes I've worked out.
[Acer Iconia A500] Turboboxer:
Wow, that sucks! I just jumped from Thor's to this guys ROM. Oh well. Guess I am going back as I really have been having some issues with this one. I had zero with Thor's so if I am not getting support here, I guess I will stick with the one I had zero issues with.
[Acer Iconia A500] Chr0nicDreamz:
Sweet, thanks I appreciate it
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Contact ezterry he got it on his non deodexed 3.2.1 and he helped me out on my deodexed rom.

I think if you extract framework odex from his 3.2.1 rom that that contains the fix for the dhcp for the non deodexed rom.

You need to ask him if you need the framework also,don't know how he did it.

I only know how to apply the patch on a deodexed rom and that is in the framework.jar file.

Hope this helps you out a little bit.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sledutah:
To bad, this is a great rom. Downloaded and flashed a few days ago and it's running smooth.
[Acer Iconia A500] Erik_T:
Oh you're the man bro. :D Thanks. Really liked this theme. Downloading. Nice speed too... :D
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
Thanks for the insight......I found him an interesting and entertaining character and wish he had not left.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
That's great, but people, make sure you check the MD5 checksum's that are posted on the OP for "Flash Glass", if somebody post's a link to it.

And note, that above link is for "Icy Faux Final", not for "Flash Glass", so you do not have a Checksum for it. Flash at your own risk.
[Acer Iconia A500] MikeChannon:
Closed at OP request
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thank you for the praise of the ROM!

The audio problem you're experiencing is native to Acer, if not all stock HC 3.2 builds (I know my one friend with his Transformer experiences the same thing).. If you do a search on this forum wide, you'll find users complaining of the very same thing. Acer AFAIK has not issued a fix. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Which ROM does VPN work for you with? I'll look into it, as it is a stock based ROM, and no changes have been made to those settings. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
It takes all of sixty seconds to flash each one, then a reboot. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thank you, glad you're enjoying the ROM! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mav2092:
will this kernal for OC work on this ROM just wondering thank you for any help it did say it can work with a stock ROM but i am just making sure any help would be great.

New 3.4 OC-UV kernel: http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500...kernel_3.4.zip
[Acer Iconia A500] :
What does the OP say about kernels? Not to sound like a jerk, but I'll not repeat myself :rolleyes:

Edit, and I just saw at least one post where someone was running a different kernel on it. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
He he thanks Dinc! Don't let the drool short out your tab! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mav2092:
bro really it was just a question... but ill look into it thanks for nothing not to sound like a jerk... :rolleyes: :eek: :cool:

but still nice ROM!

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

like really...

"If you want to flash another kernel with this ROM, you do so at your own risk. I have no idea who's kernel will work with this ROM."

:D

are you just running the stock kernal?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
ABSOLUTELY! I wouldn't run a custom kernel to save my life!

Flash a few dozen custom kernels over a period of six months, then come back and we'll visit your issue again, ok? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mav2092:
i see your point i know what they do... i was just on the thor v14 or so rom and well... even though the speed was there for me it would crash out on me when doing simple things like just checking my mail not knocking that if it your rom and you like THOR then do it up but your ROM kjy is working great for me maybe ill just let things be and run the stock seeing that you have tested it and you came back to stock...:D

oh and my home town is buffalo NY but moved to jacksonville any snow yet?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol I grew up in the Buffalo and Niagara area, we've had two minor snows so far this year. Still waiting for the first "big one" of the season! With my luck, it will be when I'm supposed to fly out on the 22nd to Boston for Christmas! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] tazd:
VPN is working fine on HoneyVillan 1.2..

If you can get vpn working then you will IMHO have the best rom for the A500 out there.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
You can always try flashing the HoneyVillain kernel with this ROM. His thread states that it supports Stock Based ROMs, which this is, but I can make no guarantees. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mav2092:
That is awesome well I wish u the best of luck and I miss the Buffalo pizza:(
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol you don't miss the wings? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] navodwickra:
oh well hope they might fix it in ICS :D thanks again KJY

@kjy2010 - OP just letting you know that I found a spare 5 mins so I flashed Honeylicious and that is just about how long it took to install and get up and running. Installation - Operation - Customisation = FLAWLESS. Beautiful front end, nice speed no lagging. With any new rom I tend to run 3 or 4 of my more complex animations so that I can judge the lag or lack of it subjectively and Honeylicious passed with flying colours. Have pm'd you which you can ignore if you like, no problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks for the update Met, I have no PM from you though? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Nayfuslis:
Hi

I have just installed ur rom. However I had experienced fc on some games such as coin pirates and asphalt HD from gameloft..

Care to take a look on this issues... thanks for the great rom btw...
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Details please, as you're the first in over 3,000 downloads to experience these issues, I need to know step by step how you did the install of the ROM, your apps (did you use titanium backup), etc.

I have asphalt HD on mine running flawlessly. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Yes I will be your Freddy kreuger buhahaha lol
[Acer Iconia A500] navodwickra:
I experienced this all most every ROM on XDA as the OP mentioned its a known problem in Iconia
[Acer Iconia A500] tweeker404:
Looks extremely well done.

Will be flashing this soon!

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Ok after reading these 10 pages, I am getting the urge to install this. I have held out so far with the intent to see how ICS will be, but I will probably not have root access for the stock Acer ICS ROM just like I do not have it for 3.2

This will be the first ROM I have installed on my A500. I have the 3.2 update on the tablet so I guess I have some extra steps to do.

Are these the steps I need to take?

1. Revert to HC 3.1

2. Root the tablet

3. Install the Acer Recovery Module

4. Install CWM

5. Back up my current configuration

6. Install your ROM as per your instructions in the OP of this thread.

If I have these steps right, I will start hunting up posts on each and print it out so I have a ready reference as I do each step.

I assume I will have to reinstall all apps I have installed since getting the tablet. Is there a way for me to back up any data files for those before I start to roll back to 3.1? Would the stock Iconia Tab Syns in Accounts & Sync or the Back up and restore options in privacy work?
[Acer Iconia A500] leo72793:
How do I remove the sim card issue. Also, I get an offset error installing but still installs
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
Yes those are the steps to revert pretty simple but scary for first timer
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
You need to reflash rom to get rid of that simcard issue what kernel did you flash?
[Acer Iconia A500] leo72793:
I wiped 4 times. flashed v3.7 or taboonay kernel
[Acer Iconia A500] :
OK you flashed a custom kernel? You didn't follow the install instructions in the OP.

Re-read the full install instructions in my OP, and if you're going to be using taboonay kernel you can post your problems in that thread. This ROM is as close to perfect as you're going to get running it on the kernel that comes with it.

I take the time to type out full EXPLICIT instructions, you don't follow them, then complain about problems?!

Not to sound like a jerk, but your questions will go unanswered in this thread from now on, and if you continue to post in this thread, I'll be forced to put you on my ignore list so I don't even need to see your inane posts. :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks Tweaker, post back and let us know what you think. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Correct, except if your tablet is set to synch all data, and programs, upon installation of this ROM all your apps will reinstall automatically from the Market. It's how I have my tab setup. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
No he needs to flash a different ROM, as he is unable to follow directions, and then has the nads to post about problems while using a taboonay kernel lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
OK apparently we have the need to re-post what is already in the OP, so here it is yet again.

These directions were wriiten and put into video format in the OP so you will NOT have any problems with your installation, nor the running of this ROM. If you don't follow them to the letter, and are having problems, please post your questions HERE!

"INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

CWM

Wipe Menu:

Wipe cache

Wipe Data (Factory Reset)

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Wipe Battery Stats

Mounts and Storage Menu:

Format System

Format Data

Format Cache

Format Flexrom

Install From Zip File

Choose File From SD Card

Locate " KJY_2010_Honeylicious_Final_Rev_IC_Faux.zip" on your SD Card and click power button

Highlight "Yes - Install KJY_2010_Honeylicious_Final_Rev_IC_Faux.zip" and click power button.

When install is finished, it will tell you so. Return to main CWM menu, and choose "Reboot System" and click power button.

Allow your Tab to continue the setup while guiding you through the prompts that will require user input.

After install, update your SuperUser Binaries by going into "Apps", "SuperUser", "SuperUser Settings", "Su Binary, tap to check for updates"."

There is even a step-by-step video posted in the OP for those that cannot read!

If you choose not to follow the explicit Install Instructions, not only do you do so at your own risk, I don't want to hear any whining about ANYTHING not working correctly.

This ROM has been tested EXTENSIVELY for the past three months with absolutely no problems or glitches whatsoever (hence "final release").

Normal disclaimer about how flashing a rom can be dangerous for your Tablet, blah, blah, blah. Please always perform a backup before flashing this ROM. If you some how screw the pooch, consider it "Pilot Error", and I am not responsible.

If you want to flash another kernel with this ROM, you do so at your own risk. I have no idea who's kernel will work with this ROM. If you do choose to flash a custom kernel with this ROM, please direct all questions regarding problems you are experiencing in the thread that you got your kernel from, as those questions will go unanswered in this thread!
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
+1 on the above........Bear in mind that this ROM is for people who can read and understand English, the basic premise is ..."can you read ?". It is also suited only for those over 5yrs old and who won't pee their pants if they do something wrong. The OP has spent considerable time making this ROM and making certain that the install is as painless as possible something which not every Dev bothers about, so lets be adult about this and follow the instructions ..... OR ..... do your own thing by all means ..... BUT ..... DON'T WHINE IF IT GOES WRONG.
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
That is good to know. I have the google sync already set up. Should I also enable the Acer sync?

Time to go find and download some threads.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Acer synch had nothing to do with it.

Just make sure everything is checked in "accounts and synch" in your settings. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Got it. Had that enabled already. Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
First line in my sig applies here lol.;)
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Ok, I have read up on things and I wanted to post the steps I am going to take to get this dome so you can tell me what I am doing wrong (or not doing) before I make a mini serving tray of my tablet.

I am going to use Vache's method to get 3.1 back on the tablet.

1. I have downloaded the EUUs_SBK_Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 file, does it matter that this is a GEN1 file and my tablet has GEN2 installed?

2. I have downloaded and installed the Platformer Tool R04 since I do not have ADB installed on my PC. I have tried installing the ADB SDK before and I could never get it to run correctly.

3. I also downloaded the USBDEVIEWx64 file since I am using Vista x64.

4. Both Platformer Tool R04 and USBdeviewx64 gave me the same serial number so I seem to have that working correctly.

5. I copied the serial number to the CPUID.txt file in the EUUs_SBK_Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 file making sure to add 0x0 at the beginning.

6. Flash using Vache's files and steps listed in method 1 of the tutorial.

7. Use Iconia Root to gain root.

8. Install Acer Recovery from the market.

9. Use Acer Recovery to install Thor’s Clockworkmod Recovery.

10. Copy your KJY_2010_Honeylicious_Final_Rev_IC_Faux.zip and Apps_Stock_2.zip to the root of my SD card and stick that puppy in there.

11. Use your CWM Instructions to wipe and format and finally install the ROM.

12. Use CWM to install the Stock Apps (there are a couple I like).

Is that the right way to do this?

Also, while searching through the forums here I saw a post that CWM 1.5 is out. Is there any reason to use a newer version than the one that comes in Acer Recovery? If so, what version and where can I find that. I have searched CWM here at XDA and on Google, but I cannot seem to find a link that seem to be for some other specific piece of gear.

I hope these are not really dumb questions. I have flashed roms on my old Flytouch II tablet, but those were pretty easy to do. This seems like a whole different ball game with Honeycomb.
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
I understand the non-guarantee on steps 1-9. I will take the tar and pitchforks their way if something goes wrong, or just use em on myself as it would probably be me that has done something wrong. ;)

One other question, is there any problem in using the GEN1 ROM that I have downloaded or does it not matter because I will be immediately rooting and reflashing with CWM?

I will go back to Tegra owners and look some more there.

I think I am about ready to give this a try.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
good luck, and if you get stuck, post back before bricking! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] xamilek555:
Hi¡

I love this ROM, it's fast anf there are no FS's. I have only 1 question. Is there any chance to make everything red instrad of blue? I dont like this blue color and this preinstaled red wallpaper is great so I would like to have everything red.This is screenshot from this great ROM :)

At the moment you can install the "Red Theme" from my other Rom Here:

But you will have the same style buttons you see in the screen shot on that thread.

Kind of defeating the purpose of having an ICS themed ROM, but to each his own. ;)

When I rooted 3.2 I used vanches unstable method it the best fastest way just download the unstable stock rom use iconia root then install Acer recovery the rest is easy flash recovery flash rom bam prob some things I missed :p but that's the short to the point version OH DONT FORGET TO HAVE FUN WITH HONEYLISHIOUS :-)

Thanks, but theme from this rom isnt as good as thor's rom isc theme so I want to change it to red :)

Wysłano z Acer A500
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Well then at the moment, you have a few options, flash Thor's ROM, leave this one as-is, flash the file I pointed you to for red theme, or you can modify the files yourself in this Rom (which shouldn't be much of a problem since you appear to know exactly what you want). ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Ok, got everything installed. It went almost 100% as I had laid out in my written steps. The ROM looks and runs great.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Was worried about ya lol. I even sent you an email to see how things went!

Glad you're rooted, and flashed....enjoy! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
I don't know why I'm not having the same luck. I lost root twice and finally gave up. It looks promising but I don't know why it won't "click" for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
How did you lose root if you're running the Civato ROM in your sig?!?
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
I WAS running Civato's ROM. I ran through all of the steps you've outlined (though I never formatted the system etc, when flashing a new ROM.) Each time I tried to install this one, upon trying to reboot it would go to the "acer" screen for a little while, go black, then boot back into recovery. It's never done that before. I rooted it again and for now I just left it plain and rooted.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Which version of CWM are you running, and just to verify, you followed each step in order?
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
I believe it's CWM 1.3.4. I followed every step in exact order - twice. I've had maybe 5 different ROMs on this tablet and have been rooting since the G1 - I'm somewhat familiar. I'm sure there must be something that I've missed if it's working for everyone else, but trust me, I did exactly what your instructions said. I even watched the video and followed the video the first time.
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
I'll do that and let you know.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
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"

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

Now you got rid of any corrupted data.

Now follow KJY instructions...............
