[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tweaked:
Things are good with ICS, but if I could I would return to Honeycomb until the actual release. Just because of the apps I lost that arent supported yet.

Games - GTA 3 force closes now. Can't even run alot of Apps/Games from the market. As soon as I updated some of my purchased apps are no longer even supported. Haha

The browser is fast. I can't compare to the other as, well I only had it a day or so before I updated it.

They Keyboard lag is still there sadly. I did install Thumb keyboard and its gone. So its deff just the Android keyboard causing it.

I also notice bluetooth is a little slower to connect and I have had to reboot it twice just to get it to see my device. (all since the ICS install)

A200 vs. Prime

I purchased the A200 yesterday at BestBuy for $299.99. They price matched my local Microcenter which was out of stock. Totally irrelevant to this thread, but Staples wouldn't price match Microcenter, but will price match BestBuy which price matches Microcenter. LOL.

Anyway - like others have already stated, the A200's wifi performance is far superior to the Prime. The A200 is far more bulky than the prime and not sleek by any means. However, it is easier to hold. The prime was almost too thin/sleek. Screen transitions and general feel of the A200 is sluggish compared to the Prime. For me, this is OK as I'm not gaming and only using the tablet for web browsing and doing a few 1-line responses to emails. I also have a laptop and two netbooks for getting real work done. The tablet will be a companion when traveling with the laptop or one of the netbooks.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] diiorio:
THe A200 is not being sold at the suggested price but over priced, def they dropped here to 249.99 and the A500 to 299.99

The A200 is meant to be a more cost effective version, with a cheaper plastic case, no rear camera, lower res camera is all you get in the front, but ideal for video chat if you use it.

THe roblen with his A200 compared to my A500 is the hdmi issue and no rear cam. THe os updates will be identicle across all models (as shown at the Acer stands now).

Just don't drop the A200, it can literally pop apart at the seam. not simply dent the out alum shell which is easy to pop back into shape.

I myself won't upgrade will at least the A700 which has an amazing screen and full 1080p display.

I will say this, it is clear the official ICS on display units at shows are far more tweaked. THe transactions from screens and the #-d over lay are smooth as butter. The Tegra 2 priem seems more sluggish I also noticed stutter issues with 2 key gamloft games.

I will say ICS is better suited for remote Deesktop use to your PC over 4g. The wifi is also much more sensitive as well as the mic, clearly HC had some issues they never bothered to patch. THere are apps that increase the mic sensitivity but then it pics up background noise way to much.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Does A200 get all the Gameloft games without modifying build.prop. I was just wondering as I might pick up the new a510 when it comes out. I have a Transformer Prime now and game is scarce on it. Specially Gameloft games.

I recently noticed during calls a white noise/hissing type sound of a relatively low volume, yet still very distinguishable. I was on CM7 before and I don't think I remember having this happen until I recently flashed MIUI.

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhillad:
I have tried Insertcoin for a long time.... Used to like a lot...

But decided to flash cool3d v6 sense 3.5 Rom....

I found it a bit laggy... Also no 720p...

Btw I love playing hd games on my desire...

The point to be noted is, I required chainfire to play pes 12 using insertcoin....

But while using cool3d v6 the same game works smooth without chainfire...

So now I wanted to flash a 2.1+3.0 sense hd Rom with good performance...

Thus any suggettion about which Rom to flash that too with good performance for gaming????

I thought of Revolution, coolaces, etc... Pl advice me....

I have HTC desire, s-off, cm7 hboot....

SGBS-Desire v2.9.1 (Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 | Oxygen/Stock hboot) is the best
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvertorN:
Revolution is the best Sense rom I have tried. Ive been using it for a few weeks and havent had a single lag.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpp_04:

4EXT Recovery Touch cant mount /sdcard :(

Help me :$
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
There's only one fix for that..

"Bortak's troubleshooting guide"

[STEP1] - For this preparation is key, you need:

- Large hammer

- Goggles & Gloves (Health & safety)

- HTC Desire which does not mount sd-card

- Phone maintenance kit

- 2 Part glue (for durability and strength)

[STEP2] - Place your HTC Desire on a hard surface, such as a vice.

[STEP3] - Take your hammer, and repeatedly strike the phone

[STEP4] - Making sure to collect ALL the pieces, use the 2 part glue to put the device together carefully.

[STEP5] - Insert the sd-card, your phone should now recognise it.

Hope this helps! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJPS1:

That dangerous is the method :(.. is it of the plate of the Desire?

I cannot flashear a rom stock to send it to repair?

My microsd works in my computer...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Okay, I think I know of another method..

Can I double check, should I be downloading the file, putting the .zip onto my SD card and flashing through clockwork recovery as I would with a new CM version? I'm struggling with some of the termonoligy in there! Haven't modded since june ish last year!

And just for clarification, I'm currently on CM7.01 (I've heard .02 is a little buggy!) and if I had to do any flashing via pc I'm on a win7 machine :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbgtenn:
I have a evo 4g on verizon and I have backed up all info in qpst and used qxdm to get ha secret and aaa secret both 32 digits long. Was wanting to know if I flash a custom rom would I loose carrier settings? Also i believe I would loose the ability to use epst, to get in diag mode to restore settings in qpst if custom rom removed my settings so is there a way or guide that I could follow so that I could maintain my service and not mess anything up or should I leave well enough alone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tripp-phpBB:
Some people have said it can happen but me and a lot of other people have never had a problem. I have my EVO on Boost Mobile and within the last week alone I've flashed like 5 different ROMS and it has never touched any of my settings (Which it shouldn't anyway). Only thing you may need to change is the MMS server settings and as long as you flast a sense ROM you'll have EPST and be able to access all the codes. If you flash an AOSP ROM then yes, you won't have EPST. Hope this helps!

With all this bootloader unlock talk... I know HTC finally allows it buuuut, what about att? Will they void my warranty if I ever send it back in (for like a replacement or something)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
No way of knowing really until someone tries it. I honestly don't think they would even look to see if it was unlocked depending on your situation. Mine is unlocked and if I had to send it in to AT&T I would just get it back to stock software and hope they don't check the bootloader.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BangyaHead:
yes, it will void out your warranty. do you mean if you go back to the at&t store within your 30 day return policy to exchange, or sending it in to HTC???
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
If youre returning it to AT&T, don't worry they never check. Whether it be cause its broken or for an exchange. As long as it some what looks like its booting up normally you should be fine (although I exchanged my Atrix 4G with a flashed bootloader that they saw and they didn't say anything).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Chism87:
I'm out of the 30 day window. I meant if I get a replacement from att (because my screen is cracked)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BangyaHead:
you should be fine. if anything you can always lock it..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
Unlocking the bootloader only screws you for certain software issues. Any other kind of issues like a cracked screen that have nothing to do with the bootloader are still covered under warranty.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
Even if you re-lock the bootloader it will show "RELOCKED" instead of "UNLOCKED".

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
***Warning Dragons Ahead!!*** Do this at your own risk, I am just providing the files / scripts and can not be held responsible for any harm done to your device. It's working great for me but your results may vary,but again I am not responsible for any damage or problems you might encounter by using this mod.

This mod will not stop the ota updater from working properly and may even help pull in updates, this one should work on all builds.. It will change your build number and tab name unfortunatly there is no fix for this since the market uses this info to determine which apps to display.

Be sure to back up your original build.prop before doing this mod!!!

This mod is for HoneyComb Only

(to backup simply copy your origional build.prop file to an alternate location like /mnt/sdcard).

A little about the build.prop file and what it does:

Your build.prop file contains a lot of information about your tab. Things like what model, version of android, manufacturer and other info can be found within, but it also can control certain aspects such as display density, wifi scan time and other misc tweaks that improve overall smoothness.

This build.prop file contains the following changes:

# Makes the market and apps think your a100 is really an a500 (letting you find and buy more apps then what you'd normally see in the market)

# Speed up UI (smoother flinging)

# Battery saving tweaks

# Inet optimization tweeks

# Additional tweaks to fine tune the touch screen (still has the double letter issue when typing too fast)

# Additional tweaks to improve battery saving while tablet sleep

# Added LCD Density (you can change to smaller icons and higher virtual resoolution by lowering the density (see inside of build.prop file)

# Reorganized the build.prop file and included comments for the various tweeks

# Added settings to improve image quality when taking pictures and recording video and speed up bootimes (just by a few seconds) [thanks to tehgyb of xda]

# Added settings to improve streaming media streaming (improves youtube preformance) [thanks to Icewyng of xda]

# Added settings to improve app compatibility (less fc's) [thanks to Icewyng of xda]

Requirments: (things you'll need before doing this mod) You'll need to be rooted and have root explorer installed. (or some other method of copying the build.prop file to /system)

Instructions:

- Open root explorer and navigate to /system and tap the mount r/w button

- Unzip the file and put build.prop in /system (be sure to make a backup copy first!)

- Reboot and watch your tab fly even faster!

If you have problems finding apps in the market (such as gameloft games) try clearing the cache for market.

-----------------------------------

If you'd like the terminal commands (if you cant figure out any other way to copy and dont have root explorer), let me know and Ill work up the commands and post them.

also guys if you don't wanna use root explorer (not sure if its free now) but you can use ES Explorer go to settings and check root explorer and mount system boxes. Then you can copy the file over or edit the build.prop yourself.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
crossix this looks awesome, i will be doing this after work today, thank you so much for your work!

i know its kind of off topic but is it at all possible you or someone could post the acer sync.apk from Acer_A100_2.007.04_COM_GEN_1? its located in /system/app. I didnt know it handled the exchange portion of the rom, so i uninstalled it and titanium backup just hangs on restoring it for me :(

thanks again for everything!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dms76:
Anyone try this on gen2 yet?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
it would change the build number of the current running rom and potentially cause a softbrick with some of the extra's acer put in. You can try it, just make sure you have a working recovery method before you do!

If you've borked your recovery so that none of the update.zip files are recognized (you get the red spin forever error) then you'll need to look at the bootloader thread in the general section for a working recovery image (probably should make that another topic in this dev section).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Jesse6749:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] goofball2k:
Does this mod give you the Astro file manager that breaks down the sections of storage areas like when it is installed on the A500? Super handy how it had it broken down to Internal/External SD/USB storage sections, instead of having to navigate to \mnt\sdcard or \mnt\external_sd
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Eh? Yeah don't try upating unless you restore you're old build.prop. I'm really suprised it prompted you at all.

Um, no.. I have no idea what that is. This mod just make the market and any apps you install think your running a a500. It doesn't give you any extra functionality in the apps that come with the tab. Also, if you have wifi disabled while your tab is turned off there's hardly any battery usage. After sitting for 8hrs today I had 96% battery left, .5% an hour ain't bad at all.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I use Astro myself, I don't know as I haven't tried this but if you uninstall it and reinstall it you may well get the tablet version, now thinking you're running an a500?

I could not get the a100 to find the update to 3.2.1 and was stuck on 3.2. After I switched out to this build prop it finally updated...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Eeeek! Did you restore your old build.prop before running the update??
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jimmyUT:
No... It somehow updated on its own I guess... Even though I did not.have it set to automatically check.

Should I replace the old build prop now? I saved it
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
nah, if it already updated the it should have overwritten the custom build.prop I'm really suprised it updated without a hitch.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jimmyUT:
So model number still shows a500

Build shows acer_a100_2.007.05_com_gen2

I can still get all the apps for th 500

So far only issue I am noticing is xda app fcs if I log in under my name, but if I don't log in I can browse through fine
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
Hmm, thats a new one... acer_a100_2.007.05_com_gen2

The xda app always fcs, its due to funky coding in the xda app... the logcat for the fc the xda generates makes no sense
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jimmyUT:
Ok..cool

So it sounds like I'm all good...correct?

I can log in fine on my Bolt, Dinc and Inspire....just not the a100... No big deal
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dharr18:
I manually entered the build.prop changes, since the build prop is for gen1, and I am running on gen2. It seems like my capacitive stylus works better now. It isn't perfect, requires a little firmer force, but it is almost usable at this point.

Dead space

I assume you get an error when you try to dl data? The only way I've gotten dead space to work is to transfer data from a 10.1 tablet. I copied the game data from my Transformer prime to the acer. I tried grabbing it from my phone evo 3d and the graphics were screwed up.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

Crossix have you found a way to tweak gpu? Since I've had the transformer prime, Ive noticed games arent as smooth as it is on my prime or my Evo 3d (dual core). MC3 and Shadowgun are so smooooth on the Prime. You can be precise when panning or targeting an enemy. Specially on MC3 online, headshots are critical.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
sshh, that's the next thing I'm working on... I'm afraid much can't be done though without being able to load a custom kernel. Can't overclock the gpu or cpu because of it.. I'm looking at other things though like updated nvidia drivers (I think you can tinker with those without a custom kernel) only prob is I'm not sure if stuff gets overwritten on boot (the init does for sure).

but there is always chainfire 3d

Brothers in arms 2 is a no go. I know this makes more apps show on the market, but are these additional apps even compatible or are they all just gonna force close when you open them?

Edit: Tried 2 Gameloft games so far and neither one of them work. At least for me it looks like even though the apps are visible on the market, they're still not compatible with the device. Anyone have any ideas? All I'd was change the the first part off the build.prop for the extra apps, but that's not working fully.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Which games did you try? So far these are the ones that works using this mod:

Mc3

Nova2

Tintin

Backstab

Brothers in arms (not 100% sure)

9mm

I've tried Brothers in arms 2, lets golf 3, and GT racing motor academy. None of them are working.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bjones72751:
Well I wnt back and downloaded crossix's modded build.prop and now 9mm is working. Maybe its a combination of the things he did or maybe I changed somethinggbn wrong on my own, but it seems to be working OK now.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bjones72751:
Well I'm still finding a lot of apps that don't work. Tintin did not work for me, brothers in arms 2 still a no go, the only one thad did work was 9mm, and I can't afford O&C (isn't it monthly charge).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
99cents a month or $2.99 for 6 months, dirt cheap if you ask me well worth the money I've spent on it so far.

Some games will not run, this mod isn't a fix all. The only way to find out why the games that fc or just close without warning is to get a logcat and even then I can't guarentee I can make it work (no one can except the company who made the app / game).

The purpose of this mod is to get more apps / games visible that otherwise wouldn't normally show up in the market (which it does). Even though games / apps show doesn't mean that they'll run correctly or at all. It does make most gameloft games compatible with our device since we're telling their games that it's running on a a500.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bjones72751:
So far the only Gameloft game that wouldn't originally run is 9mm. It worked great. The others I've tried just close instantly after opening. Not even a force close message. I'd like to play O&C, but I always sucked at WoW, lol.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Destron5683:
