[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Honeylicious 3.2.1 Flash Glass​

Now that the Holidays are over, and worked has slowed down somewhat, I have more time to spend with the thread.

Honeylicious was created for myself, by myself so I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's work.

I got sick of the "stick figure UI" that Google continues to produce, so what you'll see here is something more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so if it doesn't please you, you can download

The UI has had a "glass" filter applied through Photoshop to give it a "glassy" finish.

You won't see any custom kernels here, nor revision updates, as these are all tried, tested, and true final releases.

What you will find is one of the fastest, smoothest, most dependable, and stable stock kernel based ROMs out anywhere for the Acer Iconia A500.!

Please read the "Install Instructions" carefully, and/or watch the Video Tutorial on how to flash correctly.

The 3.2.1 Youtube Fix is included in this Rom thanks to Civato.

Special thanks to Civato @ XDA for all his help in getting the camera working properly with this ROM, for the original apks he had given me, which have been changed immensely since that time, although there are a few png files that still remain the same, and all the other help and inspiration he has provided.

When you purchase a new automobile, it doesn't come with free driving lessons, neither does Android, and this ROM doesn't either. There are a few things you'll need to know before flashing a ROM.

If you're unsure of what you need to do, or simply can't follow the explicit directions in the "Install Instructions" (video included), take this link first to get you started. Click Here for the wealth of information in the A500 Wiki.

If you've previously flashed another one of Thor's ROMs with his custom kernel that he refuses to release the source code for, you may have problems flashing other ROMs until you COMPLETELY WIPE AND FORMAT YOUR SDCard. My personal opinion on this matter is, "if you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding it?"

DO NOT USE ANY MODS FROM ANY OTHER VERSION OF HONEYLICIOUS AS YOU WILL BE MODIFYING YOUR SYSTEMUI.APK, AND FRAMEWORK-RES.APK WITH AN INCORRECT VERSION AND YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS!

Now, onto the ROM:

It's built on Stock PB G100W 4.010.05_COM_GEN1 found HERE: Stock base (stock kernel), Honeylicious sweet, rooted, tweaked for speed and stability, superuser and Busybox installed, and Bootloader.blob removed, that you've come to know for it's rock solid dependability, stability, and the most speed you can eek out of a stock based ROM, with an Icey Glass Finish!

What Works:

EVERYTHING!

What Doesn't Work:

NOTHING!

This ROM has had all of the useless stock apps that are constantly in "Running Services" ripped out, to give extra battery life, as well as speed. You'll notice in the "Running Apps Settings" screen shot that only two other apps are running (besides "Settings", and "Screen Shot It" which were needed to take the screen shot).

Apps Ripped Out:

Game Loft

Link to Facebook

Music

Nemo Player

Social Jogger

Sound Hound

Zineo

Replace Ripped out Glass App Pack HERE:All apps in one zip file (unzip main file to find individual apps in their own CWM Flashable zip files). So you can add in whatever you like to slow your system down once again.

Fancy Widgets is the Weather/Clock widget shown in the screen shots, both weather and clock are "MIUI Inspired" style selected in "appearance" settings.

All the goodness that 3.2.1 brings with it including the Newest Market. As you can see from the running applications Screen Shot there are only two running apps (aside from "settings", and "ScreenShotIt" which needed to be running to take the screen shot.

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, and post your questions HERE!

This ROM has been tested EXTENSIVELY 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 they will not be answered here.

If you are having problems with certain apps, remember this is a Stock Based Rom, so please direct your questions regarding said app to the developer of the app.

I took much of my own time and effort building this ROM, typing up instructions, and creating the install video. If you ask a question in this thread that has OBVIOUSLY already been answered in this OP, the only reply you will receive from me is this:

"See Original Post :rolleyes:".

Install Instruction Video: (video was created before I was made aware that the version of CWM used in this Video has Thor's GPL non-compliant kernel in it). I have since reflashed drellisdee's GPL compliant forked Amon Ra touch screen recovery version 3.14 found HERE: Also added to attachments in this post.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS NEW RECOVERY IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESSES INVOLVED WITH FLASHING A ROM! THIS RECOVERY IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS. STAY WITH CWM!
