With ICS, things are different. And I'm not sure Titanium Backup has caught up with the times, as far as ICS for tablets. As far as I know, TB was a Gingerbread app. Not sure if they upgraded it.

Remember, this is based on a leaked rom. However, I would guess you could move the game APK (and odex if there) to either Data/Apps or System/apps.

Then TB might be able to do it's stuff.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Titanium backup works fine for me on taboonay ics
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Vache's rom is different. As with others.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Well I thought you were implying it was an titanium backup issues not being updated for ics.
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
Titanium Backup works fine, except for the few apks in the flexrom folder. Not that big a deal.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ehhhh... no problem ;) Honestly, I stopped using TB. On HC. Way too many issues with users. But in reality, the rom runs well for a leak.

Then you add TB. And issues with backups, and what not. One can point the finger at TB. As the rom, runs well. Are you using stock Honeylicious?
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
I moved those apk's to the system folder.backup and uninstall no problem. I've never had any significant trouble with tb on any ROM whether GB, hc or ics

Can I flashed this over a Honeycome V3.1 (rooted)?

Prevet minya zvoot Jimmy.

My fiancee is Ukrainian, her parents only really speak Russian in the house,

So besides me never not knowing what's going on I been learning lots of Russian and Ukrainian

Was on honeylicious with over clocked kernel from drellisdee

Made the move to taboonay...

I have only used TB once which was to just backup my apps and games for my ics move.

Worked well.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Privet. Kak da la?

I am sure, they speak Ukranian, which is extremely similar to Russian.

If you follow the instructions KJY states. He has video also. But, you are rooted, so you MUST have either RA Recovery (preferred) or Thor's CWM recovery (acerRecovery from the market)
[Acer Iconia A500] dincdoes.me:
I get crackling in thumb keyboard a500 but I can use file explorers with no problem. Main I use is Rom Toolbox Pro it has excellent backup program I prefer it more than titanium has a lot of other features that titanium doesn't aswell I also think its cheaper if some is looking for a great Rom management program

Good to see ya back here k

Having said that, most of my Ukrainian friends do speak Ukrainian in addition to Russian, but their Russian is way better ...
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Yes my fiancees family speak both but mainly seems they use Russian more, her mom mixes them, she's Ukrainian, her father speaks mainly Russian most, he's Russian that lived in Ukraine for a long time, I'm never sure which I'm learning sense they mix it, my fiancee admits she speaks Russian more, but mixes some words without knowing.

Russian seems easier for me.

[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
You can, make sure you have a recovery installed on your tab, and follow directions in OP for wipe, format, and install instructions, there's even a video up in the OP to walk you through the process. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Yeah, that's a first lol!

It's the same on my A200 with OTA ICS.

Acer is trying to hide them.

I didn't even see them the first time around :eek:

Personally, I like doing things the old fashioned way when it comes to those types of apps where you don't have to save data, like saved games, etc.

Just use your favorite root explorer, copy them to where you save your apps on your external sd card, then just delete them.

I just deleted them ALL and didn't backup any of them as I never use a one of them! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Thanks for the offer, it's greatly appreciated, but I don't take donations for my work.

Posts like this are my satisfaction! ;)

EDIT: IMHO at least the Icons match the clock, battery meter, and Wifi signal.

Stock ROM was white Icons on the left, and all blue on the right...once again IMHO that's just frigged up!! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Funny you should say that. I have OTA ICS on my other tab, an A200, and I'm noticing many of the same little "glitches" we're seeing with this leak on the A200 full OTA ICS as well, except the occasional speaker crackle. That may be because the volume is so darned low on the A200 that I couldn't hear the crackle if it was there lol ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
For every success story with TB you have a horror story to match it.

To each his own I guess (no good/bad, right/wrong) just personal preference ;)

Ummm Icylicious....Honeylicious was the HC version lol ;)

Question: does SPB Shell 3D works for this ? im having issues running that launcher although it did work for the previous version
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Once again, when the issues that everyone else is experiencing with the shell are worked out, they will be implemented., and not until.

Read the other ROM threads about the havoc it's currently causing.

I'll not sacrifice stability/dependability for a gimmick.

[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
talk is all kinds of broken. i have settings for video chat, but dont have the video chat icon under any of my contacts, including people i have video chatted with in the past. it also FCs when i try a voice call.
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Working "all kinds of fine" here!

1) Which ROM were you coming from before this one?

2) Did you follow the wipe/format/install instructions in the OP?

3) Did you use TB after install?
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Hey kjy love your stuff bro, amazing work, honeylicious was my all time favorite rom, ran and looks gorgeous, and with drellisdees over clocked kernel it was a match in heaven, I have a quick question, are you getting any reports of screen flickering? I'm on vaches rom, and sometimes get this random screen flicker looks like screen slides away, may flicker a couple of times and go black for a few seconds before going back to normal, its the only bug I have on his besides of the boot scrambled image.

Thanks for your time and hard work creating amazing roms for my beloved tablet.

Your work is very appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Not an overabundance of the flickering, but every once in awhile yes. But let me tell you something, I've got an A200 sitting here as well, with OTA ICS update on it, and I get the same thing with a little more frequency (more often than on the A500).

IMHO it has something to do with the "Ring" and how it's tied into the system, but that's just a guess at this point. If you read the threads on ROMs that have the ring, you'll notice more problems being posted.

I sold my A500 two nights ago, so I've got my neighbor's A500 here running my ROM (she's out of town for the next few weeks) so I can continue to follow through with this ROM.

My T-Prime will be here Monday, as the price just dropped another $100.00 and I couldn't afford to pass it up at that price! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
OK I'm glad its not just my tablet dying..

Someone else told me there having the same problem on taboonay ..

Sucks you got rid of your a500 we will miss your work here.. though I could not pass up on a good priced prime either, I want one so bad hah..

When it happens on my a500 its like a good 5 seconds of flickering and black screen before it comes back, so its kinda freaky..

Maybe I'll disable the ring or try your rom to see it does not happen as often, before it was once in a blue moon so I did not mind, but now its like 5-10 a day but I do use my tablet religiously.

Thanks for your time man.
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Ohh no...when it does happen on the A500 it's like for a second or two at the most, and not with the frequency that you're having :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Taboonay, yes, and no. It worked on the leak and taboonay, not sure what the problem was here, didnt have a lot of time to mess around with it before work but when iget home ill try some more.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
anyone play GTA 3 with this rom ?
[Acer Iconia A500] jliedeka:
First, kudos, I've been running this ROM for a couple of days. I'm glad I waited and I'm very happy with this version.

I also noticed some speaker crackling while playing a free solitaire game (from Mobilityware). I did a dmesg and saw:

tegra_wm8903_event_int_spk = 2

tegra_wm8903_event_int_spk = 0

(repeated several times)

I'm wondering if there is a setting for the sound driver that could fix this. I tried researching sysctl settings but haven't found anything yet.

Jim
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
I haven't hear the crackling in Solitaire yet, but it certainly is an issue with the keyboard if you have keyboard sounds turned on, and is a known issue with this release from Acer.

I do know the issue has been worked out for final release on the A200, so I'll assume it will be worked out by final release for the A500. When we will get our hands on that is anyone's guess at this point bro!

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] psychotropic:
Actually, I think I figured out how to make the buttons look anyway I want using 7zip and modifying the internal contents of the SystemUI.apk.

You're right, the white on left and blue on right is dumb. It hadn't occurred to me until I saw it. I used this all day and still no problems, GPS, wifi, everything
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yes the button images are in the systemUI.apk PNG's are exempt from the compiling process, which is why we can edit them. But if you want to modify any xml files, you'll have to decompile the apk first.

I think Acer just tossed this together, and didn't care about some things. Like mismatched colors, noisy audio drivers (crackling at times). I think the future releases will have these things fixed.

Also, I can't figure out why they made the clock color blue???
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
Well the blue clock does match the blue wifi, and blue battery!

It just doesn't match the white stick figure buttons!

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] psychotropic:
Modded blue matching buttons are a go. Modding PNGs is one thing, editing the other stuff is too much work.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Since ICS for the A500 is *technically* leaked and *unofficial* (here in the US anyhow), maybe they'll get to this attention to color detail sometime later?
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:

Here is my AndroidUI.apk and Launcher2.apk and the icon pack I got from iconspedia.

Icon Pack:

http://www.iconspedia.com/pack/metrostation-3025/

AndroidUI.apk and Launcher2.apk

http://www.MegaShare.com/3983893

Really, all I did was open the APK in 7zip and swapout the PNGs. I found instructions somewhere around here on XDA, but for the life of me I can't find them again. I didn't TOO much attention to detail, so my icon setup is pretty crude (e.g. when you touch the recent apps, the down arrow looks smushed).

I swapped out the PNG files in my drawable-mdpi folder. I resized my icons to fit and just made sure they were the same name as the ones I was replacing. My just making sure my custom icons had the same names as the ones I was replacing, I didn't have to decompile and recompile APKs (which seems to never bode well for me).

Use 7Zip, open the APK as an archive, drag and drop. Put the APKs back in your /System/app folder with permissions rw-r-r
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter Douglas:
I've finally found an issue, but I'm guessing it has to do more with this being a prelim build of ICS than anything with the ROM. I'm able to watch 720p video just fine as long as it's stored locally on the tab/sdcard. When it comes to streaming stuff via DLNA off my network hard drive, however, it won't play anything in HD. I'm able to stream SD content just fine, though. It isn't a deal breaker or anything. Just thought I'd bring it up.

Also, I rolled back to HC just as a test and it streamed the HD files just fine. Odd.

anyone else notice wallpapers not scaling right? is it just me? other than that this is amazing!!! like others said, im glad i waited :D

The stock wallpapers, or wallpapers that you're adding from photos?

The stock ones scale perfectly, and if you know how to set your crops from within gallery they set fine as well ;)

From what I can gather it's not just the Acer ICS that has these issues, it's other platforms as well. ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] navodwickra:
@ATGAdmin

I have tried few other ICS leaked ROMS before this and have to say this the the best so far. I haven't had a single issue with TB (Other roms didn't like TB much) and most of all my WiFi didn't drop at all which I really appreciate. The screen glitches here and there are base rom related issues as far as I know. Thank you very much for this beautiful piece of work.:)

"ext3 or ext4"???

I am coming from a dirty kernal and there isn't any "ext3 or ext4"
[Acer Iconia A500] HarshReality:
There is a video tutorial on how to reformat using RA in the OP.. watch it.. learn it.. teach it to your children. Life will get better.

** Has anyone noticed the pop in audio from time to time. Im thinking its a kernel issue as the same thing happens in recovery.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The "popping" is normal for this "leaked" rom. Some have it, some don't. When Acer releases a "final" rom, I am sure most of the "quirks" will go away. One thing you can try, turn off the audio feedback on your keyboard settings. Some people say it helps.

I don't have it, but I run an a501. But since testing some things for KJY, I have since gone back to "My" rom.

One thing you may want to try, is the Beats Audio port in the themes and mods section. Might help, might not.
[Acer Iconia A500] dirtyernie:
Not quite, but thanks for your support. I had to upgrade to [Recovery] RA Revamped for Iconia first. Had to find the ".zip" file first, install it, then I was good to go (5th time watching the OP video). Just needed to listen to video, couldn't see a thing, but narration was spot on! Thanks.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The fuzzy screen on boot is for "all" of the ICS "leaked" Acer roms. All OP's state this in their posts. Ignore it. And read ;) This has to do with the Boot.image mods.

Thor's, is an Asop rom, and not from an Acer release.

[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
I'm sorry, I don't think I understand your statement, so I'll answer the best I can.

There are COMPLETE instructions on how to get rid of the remnants when coming from the "dirty" kernel and then flash to ANY ROM in the video contained in the OP.
[Acer Iconia A500] dirtyernie:
Meant "fuzzy screen". Like a snap shot of the "desktop" when booting. Almost like a bad video card. Wish I could take a screener. Let me try a photo with my EVO. On a side note, I can follow instructions. ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] ATGAdmin:
READ the OP !

The "fuzzy screen" is mentioned in it. It's a result of the hacked Acer ICS kernel which ALL ROMs built off this leak have.

Why even bother posting an OP if people don't bother to read it?!?!? :eek:

;)

EDIT: and MD already answered this question for you!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Dude, no need for snapshots. Everybody has this. It's leftover stuff in the frame buffer.

Actually it happens to EVERYONE using this kernel on EVERY ROM using this kernel, or it wouldn't have already been CLEARLY stated in the OP.

Maybe you should consider a different career? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Calm down girls :D Save it for Facebook.

@Dirtyernie, as you will see, in Icylecious, Flexstriker, (and the stock rooted ICS roms), IN THE ORIGINAL POST, you will most likely see;

Flexstriker;

"-Known problem is the strange messed up screen on boot , all ICS roms got this , it's a kernel problem."

Icylecious;

"What Doesn't Work:

You tell me..please?

On Bootup you get a funky looking screen for a couple seconds, don't be alarmed!!

Speaker Static when keyboard sounds are turned on (from original Acer release) "

Taboonay and Lightspeed also have the exact issue. They just didn't include this little info in their OP. But considering they all use the "exact same kernel", they have this as well. Just read the threads.

This is a known issue with this ICS release. IT IS A LEAKED BETA. Read the threads and you would have known this. KJY's rom, works well, as if you had read, you will see few problems from other users.

To constantly come back and post, on what has been explained to you several times, by different people, well, that is just ludicrous.

You have 3 choices.

1. Accept the ICS rom "as is"

2. Go back to stock, and wait for the Acer updates

3. Run a 3.2.1 rom

Also the original leak thread.

In the end, to get past the new bootloader, things had to be worked around. Considering the boot image communicates with the bootloader in this new ICS for the 500. As a result of the "fix", you have a memory block that retains fragments of mostly previous images. NO WAY AROUND IT as to this date. Not to mention the mess with getting SU with system writes. And these are just laymans terms. For a more technical explanation, contact Drellisdee.

Fortunately, I don't have this issue, as I take a mulligan having a much superior a501. ;)

Also, be a little careful flashing too many ICS roms. You might muck up one of your devblocks if you play around too much.
[Acer Iconia A500] dwreck420:

Since all the roms have the exact kernel, would it make sense to use the cifs module from taboonay in this ROM? It should work right?

***** I am trying to make it work, but no success at the moment, I am going to look through Taboonay rom to see if I find the correct modules and to see if they work in icylicious
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Should work. Just make sure you check the permissions after you copy the file (should be the same as other files there). Also, take a look in the (I believe) system/etc/init.d folder, and see if Taboonay uses a script to go with it. Not sure, but worth checking.

Also, build.prop file might be worth taking a quick look at. Look at taboonay's and see if there is any reference to cifs. Probably not, but still...
