Hi Everynone,

Well, this is my forst post here so if I'm doing anything wrong sorry. I will accept any tip to how use the forum as best I can.

Ok, goins into de point: it is my first time using custom roms, rooting and all other stuff with my Acer. I started using the ICS stock leak:

Acer_AV041_A500_0.009.00_WW_GEN1

Now I'm using Acer_AV041_A500_0.014.00_WW_GEN1 from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524736

Also, I'm using the ICSRoot version 3.1 (to have root) from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1520469

And to finish I used this to installing bootloader/fix recovery:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522384

As everyone can see I'm a noob, but I can learn a little fast ;)

I'm doing all this to try install this rom:

ICS 4.0.3 FLEXREAPER-R5 for CWM or RA recovery flash

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517181

Now I think that all I need is install the RA recovery or CWM. I tried to install the CWM by Android Market using the ROM Manager, but when I do it the system give me a message "rom manager a500 does not have supported clockworkmod recovery".

Can someone help me to install CWM or RA Recovery? Can be showing me some guide (I tried, but I not found).

[Acer Iconia A500] exodusevil:
Ok,

Less noob now: I saw that I have RA Recovery installed when I did the process from "HowTo Installing the unlocked bootloader and fixing broken recovery in leaked ICS".

The problem is: I can't enter in RA Recovery, unless opening a CMD from my notebook and using the commands:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img (using the recovery_thor17_403.img inside the nvflash directory).

When I use by this way I can enter in Recovery and, for example, make backup from actually nvran to sdcard. But I can't enter using the "Power button + Sound button". If I do it come the "Dead Android with exclamation" in the screen :p

Any tip?

:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] castafiore:
Same question.

Does anybody can access to CWM recovery with the "volume-/power" command after having used the jm77's method for fixing their bootloader "issue"?
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Did you properly flash the modded bootloader blob? Because only flashing a modded recovery will not work
[Acer Iconia A500] exodusevil:
SOLVED!!!

SOLVED!

The problem is: when you use the guide to install the CWM/RA have a file (/system/recovery-from-boot.p) that as "strra" told "reflashing stock recovery whenever you boot into android"!

What you have to solve:

Open the Terminal Emulator inside the tablet and do:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
cd /system
mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.p-BKP
[CODE]

Copy "recovery_thor17_403.img" the (is inside the nvflash-A500.zip from the original jm77 thread), open a CMD in your laptop/PC and do

[CODE]
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery_thor17_403.img

That's it! Now we have the RA Recovery!

Don't make a mistake: I'm a completly noob! All I have done was used the all information in this order:

- Installed the ICS from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1524736

- Rooted using:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1520469

- CWM/RA Recovery using:

[Acer Iconia A500] exodusevil:
Thank for the tip you blackthund3r, but the problem was it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23223347&postcount=14

As our frind "strra" told: "it's because you didn't delete recovery-from-boot.p from /system and it's reflashing stock recovery whenever you boot into android".

:)

Thank you so much you incredible work blackthund3r. I used another hands-on guide to get root, but your ICSRoot is so far easer!
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Okay that did cross my mind. I suppose its the flash-recovery.sh script which I initialises the flash process? And no problem :) I'm such glad it has helped people =)

It's not that simple. Samsung use binaries they are simply not allowed to release source for, due to IP rights and stuff of their respective owners.

These hardware designers have no duty nor intention to release source for their IP just because they're used in conjunction with an open source OS.

[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
NOT signed because this is really NOT important!

Samsung, will, I am sure, release what source code they can (for legal reasons, such as IP licensing) ONCE THEY RELEASE ICS for the SGS2.

They WON'T release the source code before that, as they are still changing the code and working on the features / bugs etc. to make ICS work on the SGS2.

No amount of b*tching from anyone will make a large multi-national like Samsung drastically change their development / release cycles *JUST* to keep a very small number of users happy.

... remember they're under NO OBLIGATION to release this source code in full... although I'm sure they will...
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
WTF it's wrong with you? Who are you to say that?

Just because something isn't important for YOU, it does not mean that it isn't important at all! (No offense, but people like you annoy me really bad)

That's what we ask for. But "ONCE THEY RELEASE ICS for the SGS2" could mean anything from the same day till the same decade.

I hope you understand what I'm up to.

Protip: If you don't like the idea, stay out of the thread or, at least, don't post.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
What you don't seem to grasp is that Samsung DOES release its code within the month of releasing an official ROM (Update1, 2 and 3 of the Gingerbread source being the prime example of this). They release the source they CAN release. The petition is to put pressure on them for the rest of the source code, which I agree with stuclark, is quite possible will not happen. I signed the petition just in case to give an extra number to a petition I don't believe will matter.

stuclark is entitled to his opinion, as you are, so let him post what he wants. He did not do it in a cruel manner or with horrible intentions. He is in his right to not sign if he does not believe. This is just like a friend of mine who got bullied by students because she didn't wanna sign a petition.

And he is right you know, 5200 users as opposed to the millions of phones that were sold... Is a VERY small portion of the SGS2 community.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
I have no problems when someone is entitled to his/her opinion.

BUT (s)he said that "it isn't important".

However, as there are people who sign this petition (or would, if they knew that it exists) it's BS.

(S)he should have said that it's not important in her/his opinion. That's quite a difference.

Your "argument" is nice too. The typical "you can't change anything anyway" argument.

Congratulations, if you think that way.

1st I want to say that I'm only asking if you guys experience same problem as i do..

so the point is.. I experience something not normal for me, my screen sometimes do not respond well.. like if you try scrolling, it would stop. but physical buttons do respond, only solution is turn screen off then turn it back on again for it to respond.

one day it gave me a hard time to make it respond, even by reflashing the whole rom didn't help at all.. weird, hope you guys understand my short story.. thanks for reading.

Hi guys,

Been using VLC for a couple weeks now. Works great, with one exception I was hoping someone could give me some advice on. When I go to play mpeg's, it starts and within 10 seconds it crashes. I can play avi's all day long with no issues.

Any ideas?
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
VLC is an alpha and not really even an official one as it was just user compiled from the source. So for now you are stuck either converting them to a format that works or using another software to play them.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
The A8 version worked fairly well. The A9 version didn't.

VLC is looking very promising. Still not as good as Dice player though. VLC fails my 720p stress test video and Dice player passes.

Stress test video dl link:

The birds is what kills VLC. Dice player plays it all flawlessly.
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Sweet, never knew about Dice Player until now. Looks like it plays a wide variety of formats and supports streaming. Will probably become my player of choice until an official VLC player is released.
[TouchPad General] emuX:
I've loved VLC on both PC and iPhone (seen the light and abandoned Apple for the SG Note) but it'll take a lot for me to change from MX Player now. Its played everything I have thrown at it, regardless of codec and including full HD videos.
[Motorola Droid X2] unimatrix725:
I am writing to get some details or clarification on the LCD Density of the Droid X2.

I have noticed on several sites that the lcd density is ~256 ppi pixel density. PhoneArena and GsmArena both list this. Wikipedia has useful information, but not in this aspect, or it is nested under a subject somewhere. I noticed in the standard stock Verizon rom in the build.prop that it is set to 240, I also noticed this is the same setting for the CM7 build also.

My conclusion is that it is set this way for app compatibility? I understand that it can make the resolution smaller or larger depending on the setting. I have with other phones, changed the density and some looked and performed better (Possibly my imagination?), but it broke some apps and thoroughly pissed off Android Market. By The Market statement I mean that many apps were reported as "not compatible with your device".

*The easiest thing would be a explanation of the pros and cons of this setting/adjustment.

*Also a tip on how to fix the market, along with apps that get cranky when adjusting this setting. (It may be possible that the market and app issues are gone now, but making sure of this) I have skimmed some resources but none that were detailed enough or were just too excessive. The threads here, what few that are related get turned into an app fest discussion.

(Point is not what app to use or not to use to adjust density).

Please be simple and to the point, unless you truly know what you are talking about. I thank everyone who contributes to this discussion.
[Motorola Droid X2] Staggo:
It's interesting you point this out. I have long suspected app issues are with the odd PPI of the X2.

In calculating the true density, I come up with 256.7 PPI. That means it falls into the hdpi catagory. However, you are right about the build.prop saying it is 240 PPI. I think this is just set as the minimum for the app to appropriate the correct layouts.

I doubt this actually has to do with the issue you are having. A lot of developers do not allow certain apps to work on devices for which they have not tested- although they shouldn't be appearing in our market in the first place.
[Motorola Droid X2] weldawadyathink:
To fix the market freeze the market auto updater with your favorite bloat freezer. Boot into 240 dpi. Go into settings then manage apps then the market and clear data. Go into market and click accept and back out. Then boot into preferred dpi. This should fix any issues. If they arise, repeat. This worked for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] unt0uchable:
Hey there. I'm very curious as to what the proper steps to change this setting are. I don't want to just go into my build.prop and screw some things up. I found the line. Should I just backup my phone, backup the build.prop and then edit the line and reboot my phone? Thanks for anty help.

Hi,

Last year I installed HTC Sensation HD 3.6.7 on to my Sensation (following all the instructions). It's worked fine for a while but recently I noticed that ice cream sandwich had launched and mike had incorporated this into his ROM.

Perfect time to upgrade I though...

Today I started by flashing the firmware....

CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

I've been playing with the phone for several hours now trying everything I can and googleing the problem but i just cant get my phone to boot at all, nothing but the bootloop.

Please tell me I'm stupid and I've missed something simple so my phone will work again :( nothing i've tried has helped at all! i cant even use the restore facility to return my phone to its original stock state. I'm pretty sure I used the super CID (11111111) when I originally changed to revolution HD so I have no idea why it's telling me it's wrong.

I've only downloaded from the links in mikes posts too.

I would delete the files from the phone and cleanup the desktop backups,then redo the phone card.
