[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
I have attached a .a500apx format bundle for my APX flash tool which includes the patched / custom mode ICS bootloader and CWM recovery as well as this amazing kernel. To use, extract the a500apx file from the zip file then select it with the A500 APX Flash Tool (Over at a certain website run by thor2002ro that I got tempbanned for mentioning last time). Hope this makes things easier for people who have flashed and got the stock BL :)

MASSIVE thanks to:

*thor2002ro for the RECOVERY (not kernel WTF was on my mind :P)

*drellisdee for the zImage (kernel)

*civato for the boot.img

*Skrillaz_CZ for the patched bootloader
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
I wondered the same to be honest - the patched zImage is ~1MB smaller :P Anyway I'm not complaining - smaller download and it works! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Been playing with it for a while now. Looks very near final. Even the licenses section of settings looks polishesd. Screen glitching issues haven't seemed to occur yet. Overall a very nice leak. Thanks vache! I'll update if I find something new. Sorry for all the posts ;P

Does it have Acer ring working?
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Bootloader has been updated to 0.03.12-ICS in the 1.031 release. Can someone check "fastboot oem unlock" (those not on custom BL)?

EDIT: Nope, not there.
[Acer Iconia A500] drellisdee:
Its recompressed with lzma compression instead of just gzip'd.

A500 1.031 quick feedback

Been playing with 1.031 leak for an hour or so. Very improved, IMHO. I believe a few more fixes would make the software ready for release.

Lost root of course.

Power on to login screen is about 50-55 seconds. In 1.022 that was around 75-80 seconds. This part bothers me most. My other android devices are also taking longer time to boot up in ICS. Are we heading towards Windows boot up scenario?

The UI is faster. I was facing lag in .022 while moving between home screens. That does not appear to be the case anymore. App launcher, widgets all are snappy.

A few apps had slow startup(specially Evernote, Docs to go and currents)

Battery life would be more clear in a few hours. I use Battery Monitor Widget so would be able to compare the drain versus .022

Maps worked fine GPS lock was quick. Media library browsing was fater than before (from 022). Gallery is snappy. Google Play crashed once. Camera (stock) doesn't lag this time. Call quality on Skype is good.

Also, No Acer Ring.

You guys want me to check something specific?
[Acer Iconia A500] Atticustrd:
Has the horizontal problem been fixed? Sometimes when I open a game that's in vertical position and I exit the app, my home screens are vertical as well. I have to open camera to get the horizontal back.

And all these wonderful specs on ... 4 inch mobile device?

Do you really need 1080p screen, quad core CPU on a such small mobile device? Do you REALLY need that much processing power? Most apps are optimized to work only on single core CPUs. Dual core CPUs are good, I agree, but quads are just pointless waste of resources. They have to improve dual core technology to provide better battery savings, not make battery issues even worse by adding 2 additional cores. Also this huge resolution of a such small screen. Who needs it? You won't see any difference in the resolutions above 800x480 (WVGA), this huge pixel density is pointless.

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] B.Jay:
As the thread title already suggests this is ONLY meant for GingerDX (v014+) and will update ClockworkMod Recovery to 4.0.1.5.

I checked this version to:

...create working backups.

...restore the backups correctly.

However, this version does NOT contain SD card partitioning functionality.

Why GingerDX only?

Simple. Doixanh is using a different approach in GingerDX. /system/bin/recovery.tar is just a symlink pointing to /system/bin/cwm-rec.tar. This script replaces /system/bin/cwm-rec.tar, so chances are pretty good that it does NOT work with other ROMs.

NOTE: NOT needed when you run GingerDX on Alfs as the kernel already contains CWM v5 series - this is only for GingerDX on Stock Kernel!

ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.5 Install ZIP

Flash with ClockworkMod, installs the new CWM version

GingerDX ClockworkMod Restore ZIP

Flash with ClockworkMod, restores the default CWM version

Once we got a working CWM 5.x.x.x stand-alone version I'll create a new update ZIP.

Thanks to puppet13th for the CWM 4.0.1.5 tar.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] semdxd:
huge thanks

i'll try it soon

so now we can use one recovery instead of two

B.Jay u r the man
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] B.Jay:
You seem to misunderstand the meaning of the update:

GingerDX ships with DualRecovery (xRecovery AND CWM) by default. All this update does is to update (ok, actually replace) the cwm-rec.tar (CWM v3.2.0.0r2) which shipped with GingerDX to a newer cwm-rec.tar that's CWM v4.0.1.5.

The DualRecovery will still be there. It's just an update, it doesn't mod the GingerDX defaults.
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] semdxd:
yea i know

i meant that we will not need to use Xrecovery for making backups

so we'll use one instead of two

and thanks i'll try it now(free time)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iamdata:
I tried to flash aokp 27 over 26 resulted in a boot loop. Now no nandroidw will let it restore I have 2 and both previously worked. If I wipe then flash a new ROM it boots to lockscreen and is then frozen. I think the memory is corrupt. So a fastboot format command would be needed if anyone has that?

This is the only thing I can think of other then using insurance or getting a new one. Anyone seen this before or read about it?

Hi All

I was looking around and couldn't find a definitive answer for the tf101 w/ ICS (not entirely sure if it matters that its a transformer... and am thinking it has more to do with android os than the transformer itself)...

anyway, I was wondering is there a list of non-essential apps (bloatware) that can be removed without messing up the ROM? I'm not sure how the apps are linked with the OS but when you go to uninstall certain apps with titanium backups it gives a warning that removing certain apps may mess up your rom...

Is there a reference list somewhere? there are a number apps that i don't use and parts of me just really likes getting rid of 'junk'... ;)

thanks and much appreciated!

OUTDATED: Tunnel voice has been fixed in the latest CM7 and CM9 nightlies.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] neobuddy89:
Hope we can find better fix to this in future.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
Using the CM7 version with makelegs Kang.

Pushed with Root Explorer (I'm at work and don't have a cable to use ADB).

Phone kept FCing so I:

1. Rebooted

2. Fixed permissions with Root Explorer

3. Rebooted again to recovery and wiped cache and dalvik

Seems to be working so far. I will report back in a few days.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
The CM7 version is not working.

I have received several calls and the caller says I sound like I'm in a tunnel. If I mute and then unmute after answering the call, the problem immediately clears up. This leads me to believe that the hacked phone is not properly muting and unmuting.

I will try to reproduce it and get a logcat.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
Logcat coming soon...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
Me too bro... me too.

I think a commit from before, merging audio HAL fixes in, was supposed to fix it, but part of that got reverted because it broke some devices on some carriers.

Also, apparently, this problem happens on other devices as-well (I'm guessing just Aries devices)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
If it doesn't have the mute/unmute fix, others will confirm and I'll clean compile a new one.

So everyone else, please post if this fixes your problem.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
It doesn't seem to have the fix (or its not working) because if I manually mute then unmute after receiving a call the tunnel voice immediately goes away.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
I'll clean compile CM7 with it and pull it and upload it tonight then.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
Here are two logs. Both calls had the tunnel voice until I manually muted and unmuted.

Sorry they are so long. I started recording just before the call and ended recording after ending the call, but I wasn't sure what may be useful so I didn't filter anything out.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
Here are my findings:

I am running CM7.2.0-RC1-vibrantmtd-KANG-signed.02282012-2202

Using the stock phone:

For every call (25 of 25) I receive from my mother, she said I sound like I'm far away and in a tunnel.

If I manually mute and unmute, the "tunnel" voice immediately goes away.

Using the hacked v2 phone:

5 of 8 calls received from my mother were clear with no tunnel voice

3 of 8 calls received from my mother had the tunnel voice, but after I manually muted and unmuted, the "tunnel" voice immediately went away.

It seems this hacked phone helps, but does not fully solve the problem.

I will continue to run it for several more days to gather some data from other callers. I use my mother as a base because most calls I receive from her have the tunnel voice bug.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
Hahaha. The fix is only in the CDMA portion of the handleCallKey function... (even in the original fix, so it wasn't just my fault! Even though I manually added the fix :P)

I'll recompile AGAIN with it also in GSM today and re-upload. Sorry 'bout that.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
The apk may not be, because it's based on CM9, but you can use the source of the fix, but you need to put it in the GSM section aswell as the original fix only has it in CDMA.

That's pretty funny, a little frustrating for you probably, but funny.

Still not working.

I called my phone from my wife's phone many times and this is what I've experienced and learned:

1. The tunnel voice does not start until the caller speaks (e.g. after my CM7 phone receives a voice signal from the caller, the caller starts hearing a tunnel voice). When I called my phone and had my wife start talking everything was clear until I said something (I was on her phone), then the tunnel voice started.

2. If I manually mute and unmute my phone immediately after answering a call and before speaking, the entire call is clear, no tunnel voice.

Maybe the mute and unmute functions that Nelson used are incorrect or in the wrong location?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
1. Are you starting a call while in a call?

2. Are you using a bluetooth headset?

3. Are you using earbuds?

4. Does it happen when your phone starts the call?

5. Do subsequent calls also get the bug until you mute/unmute or just the first call since reboot?

6. If you enter a call, experience tunnel voice, plug in and unplug them, does it fix the tunnel voice?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creeve4:
1. Are you starting a call while in a call? No

2. Are you using a bluetooth headset? No

3. Are you using earbuds? No

4. Does it happen when your phone starts the call? No, it only happens when I receive a call

5. Do subsequent calls also get the bug until you mute/unmute or just the first call since reboot? All calls

6. If you enter a call, experience tunnel voice, plug in and unplug them, does it fix the tunnel voice? what do you mean by plug in?

The tunnel voice has happened on all of the 50+ test calls I've done. Sometimes the tunnel voice clears up for a few seconds, but then it's right back. The only way I've been able to consistently keep calls clear is to manually mute and unmute.

Whoops. I mean't this:

If you enter a call, experience tunnel voice, plug in then unplug ear-buds, does it fix the tunnel voice?

On the first call, I muted after about 10-20 seconds (sorry, I can't remember precisely now). I know that we talked back and forth a bit before I muted.

Log 1: with the tunnel voice and no muting/unmuting.

Log 2: with the tunnel voice and I muted and unmuted ~1 sec after answering the call and before I spoke.

Incoming1: http://db.tt/mJxNUpmy

Incoming2: http://db.tt/qN29yCnr

Incoming2: http://db.tt/qsChmzbu

Incoming3: http://db.tt/50eLcqni

all the logs were cleared before calls and saved after so you dont have to search thru a bunch of stuff.

the new tests incoming 1 and 3 both had mute unmute bug, the 2nd didnt seem to have the mute unmute bug.... I sounded a bit better my caller said but still a bit of tin in the voice but not as much tunnel if that makes any sense... I tried speaker on off on test 3 I believe... hope this helps ... if you need anymore info im willing to do whatever.

FE I forgot about this bug but it might be releated somehow perhaps (i thought that for me it was fixed in makelegs kang with cherry picked mute unmute fix). I have this bug where when I get an incoming call sometimes I cannot hear any audio from the other end... mute unmute, speakerphone, nothing fixes it.. I have to just tell the person I will call them back because I know they can hear me and then I proceed to call them back..

I just got a logcat of it happening saved incase you can find something in it... logcat was not cleared all day since this morning so its quite long and I didnt know what might and might not be usefull so I have not cleaned it up, but here it is if you wish to check it out.

this is not a bug in any of the ics roms, ive tried pretty much all of the ics builds on the forums here.. but it was a big problem for me back on some cm7 builds.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hurtz777:
FE I started getting the mute/unmute issue and GPS not working after deep sleep on all CM7 builds past build #182. It appears that whatever the 911 fix changed might have caused this mute/unmute issue as well as no GPS after deep sleep. Build 182 was bug free except for 911. Would it help if you looked at that build and compared code and see what has changed? Makelegs latest kang also has the unmute\mute issue as well as no GPS after deep sleep.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
The change that fixed E911 was removing Vibrant's device specific libaudio. The aries-common one apparently has some problems it seems (this whole mute/unmute deal).

FE I have tested the slim rom in the forums and so far it appears to not suffer from the mute un mute bug... 2.7 had the issue and 2.8 does not seem to have it... I need more testing but so far 3 call tests and I sounded fine .... Might be something to look into ;-)

Edit

Not enough time to test today, exhausted... One person only has said they had mute un mute bug in the thread over there though and he may have had a bad flash, I'll post more when I can confirm of deny :-)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] c-pimp:
I don't know what is different about the slim rom but I have yet to have tunnel voice or robot voice on any call I've tested, I hope you can find something to help from the rom to fix on cm9 and cm7 both as I would prefer cm7 with Eugene kernel, I get like 50 hours a charge from that combo
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FaultException:
Slim says it's based on AOSP, so it could be not CM9-based, this bug is our problem, it's our libaudio implementation most likely.
