[Acer Iconia A500] Destron56853:
Good point, I just wish it was that easy. What makes this difficult is the various components. For example, if we all got together and built the DREAM tablet, lets call it DREAM, we'd be very happy. However, it is most likely we'd NOT make every part. So, lets just take one part. So, instead of making a camera we got a 3 mp camera from XYZ-3. We're not going to make CPU's, so we buy a Tegra 2.

Now XYZ Cameras sells to a lot of tablet manufactures and DREAM is just one. They only care about cameras. So, they now come up with XYZ-5 Camera which is a 5 mp, but it requires a firmware change from Tegra to work. Tegra makes chips, so they only offer the new firmware in their new chips.

Now, back to DREAM, we're out of XWY-3 and call in a new order. They tell us that they no longer make the xyz-3, but the XYZ-5 is better and is for the same price. However, it only works with Tegra Firmware 3. There are no drivers for the Tegra 2 because the Firmware doesn't support it.

Now the mess starts, and this is happening faster and faster each year.

Note: This is an example ONLY, so no need for someone to start saying Tegra 3 supports Tegra 2 firmware or that mfg's making xyz-3 would be backwards compatible with xyz-2. Again, this is an example and is what my company deals with on a daily bases and becomes a snowball real quick. It seems to now start happening around about 8 months. In the past, 18 to 24 months seemed to be the norm. There are times when it's dormant and then it breaks out again. In other words, tablet manufactures don't make tablets. They just get all the parts and assemble them. Just like Dell on the PC side. They do NOT make motherboards, HD, etc. Matter of fact, I don't think they make anything.

"Take your stinking locked bootloader of my tablet you damn dirty ACER company"[/QUOTE]

My post had nothing to do with hardware or tablets. I was referring to the fact that Google continuously release new version in rapid fire succession and all the have managed to do is segment the Android market. Every new device comes with a newer version of Android and older devices are forgotten. Doesn't matter if they can support the new version or not. Google needs to stop releasing new versions and let the devices catch up. Updates are one thing but stop with new versions. let everyone catch up.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
"apps" and "my apps" feel pointless to me. You cant even customize "my apps", its just what you downloaded. what if a particular app you like came stock on your device? now its not under "my apps".

also, having had phones before a tablet, I had ICS on my G2 before I had an a500 (my first honeycomb device). Widgets in the drawer was freaking AMAZING to me. I didnt know there was ever a system in place to give you a preview of a widget before you put it on a home screen. Widgetsin the drawer gets rid of a useless section of duplicate app short cuts in favor of standardizing widget previews across phones and tablets. I vastly prefer widgets in the drawer over my apps, I was actually disappointed when I opened my app drawer on my a500 for the first time to see it looking like the ICS drawer but no widgets.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.m0x:
True that. Hope they stick with ics for a bit as it's really quite good. To be honest though beyond the hw acceleration I don't really feel like it's much of a step from gingerbread or honeycomb.That is to say, if hw acceleration was already in gb and hc I wouldn't be too fussed about an upgrade.

[Acer Iconia A500] masands:
The statement has been retracted by Acer. The latest is:

"Hi xxx, though no exact date has been confirmed in Australian/NZ, the ICS update is coming soon and we will keep you updated once it's available."
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
My understanding of difference of GB, HC, then ICS is that GB is for phone, HC for tablet, and they wanna merge all together, so we get ICS. Not too long ago, the resolution was a huge deal for software, I got some so complex structure for the windows mobile that I can't really follow, almost one complete set for every resolution, and can't use on other resolutions. You can get a whole software version for a newly released device, but can't put it onto an older device that has smaller screen.

Also to my understanding, all the parts difference for the tablet exists in PC world for at least 20 more years, other than the CPU, everything was different 20 years ago. Now, even the CPUs are totally different, you get 20 or even more CPUs you can choose from. But you can buy one Windows 7, and install on any of those PCs, press a button called update, and that should figure out the rest... When I had the one that runs vista, it wasn't much a bit deal to buy W7 and put it on it, it is slower, but it works. I know, it's not that simple. Just this bs waiting for new firmware thing, doesn't make sense. And this whole bs might just came from the standard set by apple. When apple dealt with all these s..t, they don't care, they are one company cover all, the software is written by them, the hardware is designed by them, they know all the details, they understand every little bit of it(I hope they do;)) And here we go, the golden MS PC standard of cross platform is long gone, we are stuck in the endless cycle of waiting for the next big thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I really don't get it! I've tried Thor's ICS builds and they work besides a few quirks.

BUT: Why are you all so nervous about ICS? It's a big leap if you own a Gingerbread phone but for me the differences between HC and ICS are minor and only nice to have. I could perfectly live with my A500 if it never gets ICS.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Well, I guess most of us want it because of the performance improvements: most of the UI transitions and effects are smoother and the browser is a lot faster. Atleast for me those are plenty good reasons to want it, I find A500 as it currently is terribly laggy and lacking in performance.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I so agree with this.. ICS has added a whole new hardware rendering engine into the us. This new render ability increases performance fluid like UI. and improved memory and CPU optimization. that will also lower the battery demand .. Not this update does not have a lot visual changes that you can see and touch. Its how the OS Handles the task you already do..

It will come i do believe. If not from acer but from this forum.. I do want to point out if you are on stock . if YOU DO GET ICS Pushed to you.. i would not jump and install the update.. let it download to install later . then ask in the form dev section. how to extract the link.. Let the DEVOPERS GET IT ROOTED .. or you might be stuck with no root

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jrath1987:
Hi all,

My Bionic is having a bit of a tiff that I feel like I've searched for days for an answer. I was rooted and lost root at random w/o flashing or updating the system at all!

Firstly I'll post my system information:

System Version: 5.9.901.XT875.Verizon.en.US

Baseband Version: Unknown

Webtop Version: (Okay this one is tricky...) Its got 1 square symbol then ELF then 3 more squares ... a bunch of random spaces with a A and 2 4's......

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-g83f1a47

vwm736@il93lnxdroid43 #1

Mind you I have tried the one click methods and manual operation of those methods both to no success. It even says successful in AP Fastboot mode and in command prompt but everytime I restart my phone it is in EXACTLY the same state (also carries over if I uninstall an app and restart the phone).

Also when using the one click method it proceeds to push everything but only after saying Error: Device not found

Formating Internal Storage doesn't work either... for some reason it keeps restoring everything (to the .901 messed up state it's in) EVEN if i delete the WHOLE contents of the SD card over USB on my desktop... I'm REALLY at a loss... I also went through an entire FXZ flash with no errors and it still stayed in exactly the same condition with no changes...

ANY help with this would be MUCH appreciated

Thanks!

Have you tried this;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427945

Follow those instruction to the 'T' and it should work. (Credit to the OP)

I did this probably 10 times this past weekend and got the phone down to .886 then was able to apply 43v3r root and update to .901. I flashed a .901 compatible rom and it brought me back to .894. i will probably re-flash later.

One thing to remember, charge your battery to 100% before proceeding because the flashing process uses your battery even when plugged into USB.

Good luck and set aside a night to do this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jrath1987:
Thanks for the reply! I tried this before and when you posted I tried it again.

I enjoyed my evanescence concert today, Recording in 1080P with supreme quality.. EXCEPT! The sound is crap. Using the internal Microphone on my HTC Aria wasnt half bad, i know the 5mp cam sucked.. It sounded way better than the audio my vivid recorded..

[General Questions and Answers] saag66:
Hi

When I change the theme on ADW Launcher Ex, some of the icons does not change to the current theme, most notably the ones on the dock bar like the phone, contacts and messages icon. Weirdly though, others do change like the internet, calculator and maps icons.

I can manually create a new shortcut and choose the right icons from the theme icon packs. The missing icons is available in these theme packs but it will not change them automatically when I change the theme.

I also have GO Launcher Ex installed and when I change the theme on that, all the icons bow down to the power of my superiority and change to the current theme. No problems there...

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this.
[General Questions and Answers] mattyray1:
Not all ADW themers theme the same icons. So when you install a new theme some of the icons don't change.
[General Questions and Answers] saag66:
I would think that the contacts icon would change though for instance because all the theme packs that I have installed have an icon for contacts but none of them updates it with their icon when I change the theme. I know that I'm not the only person with this problem but I can't find a solution. I found a similar thread on samsunggalaxysforum but with no solution.
[General Questions and Answers] Number R09:
for the app's icons that should change, i've had to delete the shortcut and put it back, then it changes. otherwise, the icon hasn't been themed.
[General Questions and Answers] saag66:
ok thanks. it doesn't work for me though. if i have york's blue theme active for instance and i create a new icon for internet, it uses the internet icon from york's blue theme but when i create a new icon for messaging, it uses the default samsung touchwiz icon. i can manually change it to use york's blue icon but when i then change the theme again, it still shows the york's blue theme icon and not the new one.
[General Questions and Answers] Number R09:
i just installed the same theme on my DInc2 and i get the same results as you. i suppose the switch was overlooked by the author, or it wasn't themed. i do see a couple "message" looking icons, but they could be for other services. i don't really know. but i don't use themes, so i am unfamiliar with alt icons. i like my ADW plain-jane. sorry i couldn't be more help.
[General Questions and Answers] frostcold:
you can download icon packs from android market and change icons manualy by clicking on them..there are tons of them on market if i remember correctly.

click on app on your screen > edit > change icon > from adw pack > solved!
[General Questions and Answers] saag66:
thanks guys. i guess thats my only option then. i think i'll use go launcher ex instead because there the themes automatically change the icons and as i like to change the phone theme to suit my mood, it's just too much hassle to change all the icons manually. it's a shame though because adw seems to be smoother and quicker.
[General Questions and Answers] frostcold:
adw is preety neat...but i had same problem even when i was trying to instal some themes...most of the icons normaly changed...but a few system apps havent :/ i can recomend MIUI if u're willing to try it
[General Questions and Answers] saag66:
i have actually already downloaded cyanogenmod so i'll give that a try first and when i'm tired of it i'll try miui.
[General Questions and Answers] saag66:
Thanks. I installed MIUI v 4 based on ICS and been playing around with it for a couple of days. I like it a lot.

ADW Launcher did exactly the same thing on MIUI so it seems to be something that the developer needs to address.

Thanks man! Nov Theme and Sierra will soon join the mix along with Tango and Tron Nemesis.

I'll be porting over FULL Themes not just skins as the weeks go by. It's always a struggle to get the framework right. The bravo theme you see now, is several days if not weeks behind from being fully themed.

Here's a quick png I put together of my best themes.

The menu pop up you see on the green theme/ Tron Nemesis Theme can't be done on Sense 3.5. I'm sure it can but I think the menu is xml controlled not PNG so I don't think that will be possible.

If you have any questions please take it to PM, and lets not have any more trash talking.
