Thanks bro! Was getting tired of staying up all night waiting to see how he did.It's 5:22am here...time to sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yeah I know, I was thinking ,when is he going to bed.

I had to get up at 3.30 am for work again.
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Yeah sorry for the delay in getting back to you about it. I had forgotten that the missus and I were going to a family Christmas party yesterday and I literally had everything lined up to start the process..... Five minutes before she reminded me :eek:

When I got home 6 hours later, I started everything. I guess to revert, root, install CWM, update CWM, install the ROM, and then do all the "little" stuff took about a little more than an hour. By this time I had been up since 10:30pm the night before and it was now about 11:30pm, so a short note was all I had in me to type.

Everything was really straightforward. If a person just gathers all the information together, and really reads through it, not just skims here and there, doing this is really simple. Ask any questions before you start the process, I would rather everyone here think me an idiot that should not even own a tablet because I ask what, to them, seems to be simple questions, than to actually be the idiot that now does not own a working tablet because I did not ask those "simple" questions.

kyj2010,

ROM looks great. I've been a follower of Civato for a bit and since he is on 'hiatus' for the time being (due to various unappreciative morons), I'm giving your ROM a run!

I've been flashing for a few months, but due to XDA limits on posts in DEV sections, have not been able to post. (Didnt feel especially useful to post my BS just to get 10 posts in order to be able to post in DEV sections).

The way I see it for your's & Civato's amazing work, ppl follow directions and read. If you run into a problem or issue, search/read. The answer is 'typically' there!

Anyway, I'm D/L now and preparing to install! Will report back when done!

Thank YOU & CIVATO (And all other DEVS) for all your work! I'm truly appreciative for the amount of time you put into this and your hard work, knowledge and exhaustive support of us!

THANK YOU!

Well it is a well known fact that me and the chef of this rom didn't see eye to eye on a few issues hence he put me on his ignore list. lol pxxxsy in my book :-)

Anyway this is not a spam post but actually a big pat on the back as I flashed this rom and I am mighty impressed. I don't care for the fake ICS tag but the quality of work presented here. The rom works and works very well. I used it to stream Carl froch v ward last night and it was flawless. The rom is quick and smooth and battery life is simply very good. I am quite happy with this and can't wait to see what this chef can do with ICS sources. We may not have no virtuous offerings but in this rom I can see that things in here are motoring along very nicely.

It's been a while since I've posted but I had to get this comment out. I came from using Lightspeed 1.0.7 (Which in it's own right is a pretty solid rom) However I was having some key issues for things I rely on. So I read up on this rom and decided to give it a shot... wow...this is hands down the best thing that's been on my Iconia since the day I got it. Incredible work here dev. Only thing I have left to test out is GPS w/o A-GPS... hoping it works great.

Thanks for the hard work !!!
[Acer Iconia A500] I<3Android:

Simply works, and well. I was having wifi drop issues with my last rom. Along with FC's here and there. They are a thing of the past now, Love the look, feel and speed of this rom. Can't wait to see what's to come. Thanks a ton!
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
I downloaded the file on the tablet this time, moved it to Ext-sd, cleared and formatted, and everything went fine. Maybe transferring the file over from the computer corrupted it somehow.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
(*whew*)

I know I can be a hard ass about following directions (not in your case), but when someone has a major problem like yours I literally can't sleep until it's fixed lol.

Glad you found the problem, and you're up and running! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments, and have clickity clicked the "thanks" button next to your comments. Glad you all are enjoying the ROM! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jamerican413:
It was so weird. I didn't realize I'd lost root until I tried to reboot into recovery... couldn't do it. Shut down, booted into recovery, restored, went through all the steps again. Figured I'd wait until morning, tried to run Titanium Backup and couldn't. Luckily I'd saved all of my original OTA files and Acer Recovery Installer. Made quick work of it but I lost patience after having to do it twice. Downloaded the ROM file from the tablet and went to sleep while that was happening. LOL Thanks again for your help and your work.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks for covering my butt while I grabbed some sleep bro. I appreciate it! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I knew it was either a corrupt file, or you had some serious CR@p deep residue left over from previous ROMs, and not formatting and wiping correctly. I thought you were downloading the file on your tab first, that's why I recommended you d/l it to a PC, but it was the other way around. At least you're all fixed now! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] iamtek7:
***** 5 Stars *****

A HUGE Thank You!

installed ROM this am (w/your easy to follow instructions) and it went smooth as silk!

I initially had a FC on market but I think it wasn due to the Google App sync (multi installs of apps from market) happening while ROM while still stabilizing. I rebooted and resumed sync and all was fine.!

Although at first I was wondering about no ability to OC with diff kernel, I now see what it is not really necessary! Everything is Zippy on this! Great work... soooo Thank You!

I'll be a follower of yours (as well as Civato & others) and will continue to be amazed by what you all do!

So again, THANKS!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks Tek. I appreciate the comments, and I'm glad you're happy with the ROM.

I used to get the same FC on market while it's restoring over 100 of my apps as well, but I find that if I just leave the tab alone while it's restoring, no FCs!

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Downloaded drag racing from the market for my son to play but it force closes every time. Other games are fine but I get android.creativemobile fc so can't play it. Any ideas? Would a simple fix permissions solve this?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Someone please let Shinger know that she only came off my ignore list for the thirty seconds it took to include her in my "thanks" post, and that I don't make a habit of taking eight year old girls masquerading as twelve year old boys off that list but once a year.

And tell her Merry Christmas from me. I can't see her posts any longer, or I'd do it myself.

ty to whoever does this for me ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Lol very mature pxxxy! I am being constructive here and the guy is being immature. Now all can see this guy for what he really is. Taking stuff on here personally is so childish its not even worth dwelling on. All I did was post a bug and that's what I get. Please pass this on to ky jelly for me as we all know what that's used for. Now don't anyone dare flame me here as I didn't do anything to deserve the response I got above. Its a shame that a chef can't take constructive criticism as that's what makes us better. Anyway I am sure he reads my posts lol. This is so silly and there is only one girl here lol. Grow up dude

My apologies if I offended anyone with my comments!

[Acer Iconia A500] splatoid:
Great ROM

I already posted a thanks but I dont see it anywhere. So Ill do it again...

Thanks for this great ROM it is rock soild and very snappy. I was impressed on how fast the setup and update ap from market worked. I dont ever remember having it go so smooth. :D

I have one stupid question to ask and that is what does the Ad-Hoc Wifi Patch

do? Why would I need to load this patch?:confused:

Thanks Man Nice Job.....:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Only if you need to connect to an Ad-Hoc network, and since you're asking the question, I'm going to assume that you have no need of it bro. I never use it myself, but some do. :)

Edit: and ty for the compliment!

Two people out of over 4,000 downloads to date have reported getting a "Insert Sim Card" error at lock screen. If you are one of the minute few that get this message, flash this file in CWM to fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Biggzz:
I have been having a hard time getting wifi to stay connected as well as Exchange Server. (maybe related?) Anyone else?
[Acer Iconia A500] deboyz1014:
Make that 3 out of 4000 heh, I too am seeing this message and this is coming from stock 3.1 brand new (refurbished) A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Try this , it's not made for this rom but I think it will work , it installs the acer dhcp patch + framwork jar modded for dhcp lease problem(this solves the connection drop outs for the wifi , I wrote this for my rom) + roach wifi patch that helps wifi connection in some countries.

Flash with cwm , clear cache and dalvik before you flash.

AND before you flash make a NANDROID full backup !!!!

download here : http://dev-host.org/cdfg599d3bwe/WIFI-FLEXTHUNDER-OPTIMA.zip
[Acer Iconia A500] Biggzz:
Wifi staying steady now but Exchange still forceclosing
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Can't help you with exchange service , the patch is for wifi dropouts , considering this is a stock acer apk in the FJY rom it is something with acer stuff or the modded framework he did on this rom.

Did you try his other rom , it is exactly the same (I think) but no modded framework .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1375091

Did you try wiping cache and dalvik , but I geuss you already did that when you flashed the patch.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Maybe it has something to do with the new models they are putting out? I'm trying to find a rhyme and reason for this coming up after 3 months of this problem not rearing it's ugly head. Flash the patch, and you should be good to go. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
The only Modding in the framework was done to the PNG files bro. I'm still trying to find a rhyme or reason to this ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Now that's a first on exchange server. Please give details on how you did the install, which ROM you had running before, etc. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Don't assume anything bro lol. I have full install instructions in the OP that people totally ignore then complain about problems :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I know m8 , I keep telling people to get rid of corrupt data , when people flash differend roms without the proper wiping they will mess things up.
[Acer Iconia A500] Biggzz:
Thanks...

Came from Thor's ICS 4.03 build.

Flashed via steps in first post to a 'T"...Twice

It starts to load the email from exchange and contacts then it just stops responding and forcecloses. So it works for a little bit. No problems on your other build so it is weird.

Anyway, thanks for the help and the ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
What's stranger is this ROM is nothing but a facelift from the other ROM. Aesthetic changes only. :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Try flashing the attached file, and tell me if it works for the Exchange problem please?? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] filthybadgerdog:
Thanks! This is exactly what I needed! So far everything that annoyed me about 3.1 (Was keeping it to retain root) has been solved.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Good deal!

Thanks for the feedback! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Biggzz:
Ill give it a shot. My IT Guy says the server is blocking it because it believes. There is an exploit. I know its not true but I hope that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] filthybadgerdog:
Apologies if this has already been posted but the only thing I have had an issue with after flashing this rom is bacon reader crashes ever time I open it :( ... Reddit is fun appears to wrk though. I can't see how this would be the fault of the ROM though.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Just installed bacon reader, ran no problems at all, even though it's a phone app, it ran great in the auto compatibility mode.

Did you follow the instructions to the letter regarding install in the OP? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Many problems throughout the A500's history with regards to exchange servers and the stock email app that comes with HC. Some have found relief with third party email apps. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] filthybadgerdog:
I do believe so, I will give a reinstall a shot and see if that helps. I haven't noticed anything else weird happening so far though. Any idea what kind of screw up on my part would cause apps to force close like that?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Yes, like not following the install instructions to the letter. Corrupt data left behind will reek all kinds of havoc lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] filthybadgerdog:
As a UNIX guy I can 100% Appreciate a RTFM like answer :D

I will reinstall now and see how things go... that is after I read the instructions again hehe
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol All I can tell you is I'm running this ROM (have been for over three months now), have flashed this ROM over 100 times, and EVERY time I flash I follow those instructions to the letter. And maybe that's why I have a hard time understanding some of the problems that some people are experiencing. I've been eating, drinking, breathing, and sleeping this ROM for even longer ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] filthybadgerdog:
As I am sure you are well aware, you were correct sir. I flashed again and all seems well in my tablet world now. Before the weird issue, fantastic ROM. After support for an obvious user error I thank you (I did click thanks as well) ...

I am looking forward to more goodness from you in the future.

*this time I did not restore my apps from Google (last time about 100 queued up, mostly from my matrix...no clue if this could have anything ti do with it)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Thanks bro, I appreciate it! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] filthybadgerdog:
I can see what you mean by not understanding why people have issues, I can't for the life of me understand why people have no clue how to use AIX.... then again, if they had no issues my job would be horribly boring. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] :
lol Only thing is, this is not my job. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] filthybadgerdog:
This is probably where the quality comes from, fantastic job I say. I ended up being pretty lucky in that I get paid to play with UNIX, before that it was a 24x7 thing anyway lol.

Ok, so like...two days ago, I followed qbkings video on how to root & clockworkmod an epic with EI22, well it worked. I got recovery working A ok and played around with some roms and stuff. They all worked for the most part, but after rebooting my phone, the SAMSUNG loading screen wouldnt fade away, realizing it had been soft bricked. I tried recoveries but they didnt work. tried tutorial after tutorial after tutoria, but no luck. When trying the Odin unroot method It'd always be stuck on like a factory. file, and keep getting the phone - ! - computer error afterwards. Ive tried looking around the forums and such, but no go. I really need help with this.

Try pulling the battery and sd card, let sit for an hour with usb unplugged, then connect to usb cable with odin running and try to boot into download mode.

If it goes, pop the battery in and load up ei22 or another odinable tar along with the recovery in qbkings videos. Make sure only reboot is checked in odin.

If not, go back and try every step in the sticky. I doubt that you have a problem that has not been experienced already.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

I tend to agree with that sentiment, nothing against you OP, but there are some that gravitate to technology and feel at home, and then there are some that gravitate and lack the necessary skills for something like this.

This is a very straight-forward task, especially with all of qbking's hard work in making those very easy to follow videos, and other's time typing out tutorials, so I really fail to see how most have so much trouble making it work. Maybe they belong in the latter analysis.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:

Yup, Ive tried different cables,ports, no battery, battery but got nothing. I thoroughly read through the entire post and tried what was suggested and got nothing. Phone wont turn on or do anything. I'm thinking that i'm screwed. I have been thinking about getting a replacement epic for a while, cause some time ago I actually accidentally dropped it from my desk and this happened to it http://imgur.com/ZBlNn still worked fine, so I didn't really bother thinking about replacing it, but now I'm guessing that I have to. If I do end up requesting for a replacement, any tips/fore warnings about what I should say when I talk to the guys over at sprint before i end up mumbling like an idiot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aedon:
With the soft brick you might have been able to save it. It happened to my brothers phone and what I did to fix it was wipe everything, factory reset

Then flash stock rom. Wipe everything again

Then flash stock kernel

Wipe everything again

Then it was perfect.

If you had already been flashing roms.and such then your problem wasn't following directions.

You just might have flashed a rom without a supported kernal. Causing bootloop

As far as where you are now.. maybe tell then you dropped it and it never turned back on?

I don't think they can ever find out you rooted it if it never turns on again lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W0lfy B:
Don't use the broken screen as the reason or they will charge you around $100. Just try and make sure you get across the point that its the faulty phone (even if it isn't) and make sure you have an accurate believable story on how it got bricked. If you mention anything about messing with root or anything similar they won't replace it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aedon:
True. But on another note you can't say much. Only other thing I can think of is saying maybe you tried updating the device and it died
