Are there no custom roms for the a510? Just ordered mine but I'm thinking of send it back because there are no roms? :confused:

sent from my Galaxy S II
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
Frankly, once root and bloatware removed, custom roms can wait a bit
[Acer Iconia A500] yabadabadooo:
Do you guys think that the community support will be good?

Will there be roms?

Are the sourcecodes public?

sent from my Galaxy S II
[Acer Iconia A500] mearoth:
The kernel code got public before it was released. I have not had a look at it to be honest, and wont do it soon. I think i read that someone stated that some sources are missing, but again i do not know where i read this. If you like you can get the kernel code here: http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=4050

Direct link: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A510&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_7

Edit:

But in my opinion and since there are quite some delivery problems by acer, community support is currently pretty low.
[Acer Iconia A500] noitsyou:
Yeah, just waiting for some custom roms. Will gladly donate to getting the ball rolling.

PROBLEM

Hey guys, I have some matters to bring up here..

1) I have installed Shadowgun THD on my a510, the gameplay button seems to be very lowly responsive. Especially in the main menu or pause menu, I could go mad just trying to hit a button. The touchscreen seems to have a problem for this game. Same goes to Deerhunter reloaded HD. other games are running well. Could someone help me?

2) Can we use 3g USB dongle to connect to the internet? I've heard that a500 was able to do that by steps. Is it possible for our a510?

3) What is the best build number/ firmware version for this tab? Mine is Acer_AV041_A510_1.044.00_WW_GEN1. would love to update OTA but it says my device was up to date. Any of you which are enjoying the tiptop condition of a510, could u guys please state what version are u on? THANKS!

I was hoping that these problems are only software related and can be fixed. Otherwise, I might have to exchange for a transformer :(
[Acer Iconia A500] tomruk:
I think I bricked my a510

Hello Everyone,

I bought a510 recently. First, I unlocked and rooted the tablet and installed a custom recovery, and then tried to flash system from command prompt (because recovery couldnt do it, it was stopping without giving any error during the process). Which failed and stopped. Now tablet cant pass the Acer logo when switched on. I deleted user data/cache using volume and power keys, I tried to enter recovery, etc. No matter what I did, it cant pass Acer logo. I put one of the roms in sdcard as update.zip, tried to boot into recovery and it says

SD update cmd: recovery

--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip

and hangs in there for hours doing nothing.. I cant access tablet by 'fastboot' command either. Any idea how I can solve this issue?

Regards
[Acer Iconia A500] keva:
crash

my tab keeps still crashing....it occurs mostlly when using astro and browsing external sd or usb devices...it gives black and white screen and must turn off and turn on to use it again

but often happens while it's in standby mode and simply seems to be turned off.

already tried a hard reset...but as soon as i install the first custom app, it starts to crash.

while if i leave it as factory without any external app, all goes well.

anyone else having same issues? android is a pain in the ass....i think i ll go back to ios...-.-"
[Acer Iconia A500] magnusp:
You need to replace your tablet!

I had massive issues with my first A510 as well but now that I have replaced it, it works like a charm.

can someone with good build of a510 respond? I want to know the best fit build version. mine 1.0.44 sucks :( can't even play shadowgun properly..the menu button sucky and the game button sucks too.

mine (1.60) allow to play shadowgun but still some bugs, mainly of lack of detection when i remove my finger of left controller

Magnusp, can u try shadowgun and update it here? I wanted to make sure that this is software problem..coz other stuffs works fine..but the battery isnt really that good as advertised

Mine too have similar problem as urs. Did u try the new ones? Thanks for thr link!
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
no, i did not find a 1.0.76 EMEA

if somebody find one ?

here u go BENETNATH

http://narod.ru/disk/48284402001.1a...681/Acer_AV041_A510_1.076.00_PA_CUS1.zip.html

now I'm confused whether to flash to 1.076.00 or 1.073.00. coz I heard ppl with 76 still complain about the same problem, or even worst. but I guess we should try each and every firmware version, until the problem vanished.

does anyone know how to download files through USB 3g modem? I managed to go online using it, but unable to download files anywhere..

EDITED:

here is the link for 1.073.00 if anyone require it. http://www.acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=169&t=7464&sid=bf69f1553fb2213500903f8157b1d2de

my bad benetnath, it wasnt EMEA. what's the differences anyway?
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
region difference,

i'm in EMEA, and apps are not the same.

i'm not sure i can keep the 'eurosport for free' app(for olympic games) if i put a PA or WW rom..
[Acer Iconia A500] azreen91:
i see, but are they all include english language? I'm from asia, I'm afraid of versions having no english pack.. can u confirm on this? thankss
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
yes, english on all firmware.
[Acer Iconia A500] KnukLHead:
What did it do when you tried to download something? Have you tried any of the apps that help you download all types of files?
[Acer Iconia A500] azreen91:
well i tried downloading app/games from market, but it won't start.. and I tried downloading files through browser, won't start too. seems like the door the download files are closed. haha. I can only surf the net. I heard this have no solution yet..hopefully it will be overcomed soon :)

guys, any suggestion for the best firmware? planning to go for 1.073.00 or 1.076.00. suggestions?

my Antutu score was 8197. is that normal? :/
[Acer Iconia A500] magnusp:
Sorry azreen91, since Shadowgun is not for free and most likely needs a massive download after purchase I dont want to purchase it.

My Antutu score was 10879 when I just tried it. Dont know if that is good or bad.
[Acer Iconia A500] KnukLHead:
I have shadowgun. It works just fine. Do you have the right firmware for your region?
[Acer Iconia A500] azreen91:
may I know what build version are u on?

thats ironic. are u playing using the touchscreen or gamepad? can tell me ur build version? mine is 1.044.
[Acer Iconia A500] leroybrute:
Now that its stable run all the benchmarks again and report back.
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
yep, but no internet access currently

for now, antutu gave me same scoring, but once was higher (around 10k)

i found that connecting my tab to the pc, then disconnecting it without unmount, gives me a really unstable tab..

anyway, the global feeling is that this tab will go back to acer, it's not stable at all,

i miss my A501..

i thought i could have a really powerful tab, instead of that i've got a buggy tab..
[Acer Iconia A500] gaetanolip:
Can you hook a standard microusd cable to the tab? I think it has a non standard microusb port ....
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
it's standard, and it's charging through a standard one, even when connected on the PC
[Acer Iconia A500] gaetanolip:
Can you hook an external hard disk self powered? Does it read ntfs???
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
yes for the external one, but not sure it was a ntfs, will confirmed that, but only if i have still my tab.

i goes to the vendor tomorrow for refund.

not stable at all. it seems i'm the only on with this trouble on the french board.

other users don't have these issues..

sad..
[Acer Iconia A500] gaetanolip:
hard disk self powered or with external power?

[Acer Iconia A500] michaeljc70:
What is the size (thickness)? Acer's site has no detailed specs really. Is it the same as the A500?

I need a new tablet and want quad core. I think I might wait a few months. It seems like after the Samsung is out, maybe prices will drop a little.

The Prime has too many problems. The new Transformer though looks like a possibility.
[Acer Iconia A500] KnukLHead:
Ivenhad the a500 since it came out and I've been waiting on the quadcores. I was originally gonna wait for the a700 but can't see spending 7 or 8 hundred bucks just to have a 1080 display over a 720. Your not gonna see much of a differance on a 10 inch screen. Besides, I can build me a new ar15 for that price lol
[Acer Iconia A500] Raspail:
To clarify this point which lead to some confusion (including for myself) :

The 12V charger has a µUSB male plug with an outgrowth so one can't, by mistake, use it on a 5V device. The A510 has the female counterpart accepting the outgrowth. But you can plug and use a standard µUSB in it.

Official thickness is 10.9 mm
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
it has exactly the same width, height but the corner are more rounded.

indeed, it does not stick in my previous duragadget cover, because it was handeld by the corners.

my tab has gone back to Acer, and i've got a new one (must be the first on the planet..)

will test and keep you informed :)

EDIT : quadrant advanced around 2.7k - Antutu 11k
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Do a factory reset and then see how things are without any apps but stock. If still unstable, ship back.

Oops, looks like you already shipped back. Hopefully the new one is better.
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
How is the display and wifi compared to the 500? The 500 display for me seemed weak and the pixel array design shows lines that are distracting. Also, the wifi on the A500 is even weaker than the Prime, due to the same all aluminum panel design.

I tested two A500s when released and returned both mainly due to the wifi.
[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
the new one seems working well.

the display is great for me, at least in comparison with my previous A501.

i was happy with A501, still with it.

It's not a 'retina' but, it's really great to use
[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Good point about display res. I have a new iPad 64gb 3, but want another Android tablet to replace my Thrive. Tegra 2 is getting long in the tooth and the video codec issues are getting old. I like being able to play hi def MKV files, which Tegra 2 inherently sucks at. Tegra 3 rocks for video support.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Can you give us some partition information?

Run these commands, if possible

ls /dev/block

[Acer Iconia A500] omegafiler:
I don't have an A500 for comparison, but the A510 WiFi is a bit stronger than my TF201. It's normally got an extra bar or at least a 10Mb faster connection, as viewed from WiFi settings.

Unfortunately I have already noticed a slight grid effect on certain lighter images with the A510. It's faint, but it's there. I haven't decided if that's going to bother me or not.
[Acer Iconia A500] KnukLHead:
Just got my 510 around 1:30 and its about 5:30 now and its been going ever since. No bugs or anything yet. I'm digging it. I've had the a500 and I was pretty happy with it except for the fact that I got one with a bad GPS unit. But I always had my phone so that was no big deal. I'm must waiting to see what all kind of development gets started and who actually jumps on board. I guess who jumps on board will have a direct effect on what kind of development gets done. Lol
[Acer Iconia A500] falcon26:
Just got the A510. And either its me or the tablet is bad. I can't seem to charge it. I plug the charger into the wall outlet and the cable into the micro usb port on the tablet and nothing happens. I tried it with the tablet on and off. Am I missing something here??

EDIT: Never Mind :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] magnusp:

Hi,

Just got my iconia tab a510 tuesday evening and very happy about it for now

It's my first tablet though so i can't really compare to others but it does everything i need (well still wainting to get dual boot)

The only sligh problem i had is while watching HD videos it freezes like a quarter of a second. While watching it isn't a disturbance really but it does happen.

I also have a question with usb host. My external HDD thati use where my movies and others multimedia files are sotred is a external powered exfat drive. I saw on the manual the tablet reads FAT, FAT32 and NTFS so i tried with my HDD but couldn't find it anywhere with ghost comander or astro. Is there something to do about it or is exfat just not supported ?

It would be a shame since all my external drives are exfat partitions.

Thanks a lot
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
^ Did you look in the mnt folder? That's where the devices should appear.

If it's not there, try the USBMount app on the store, though it can have issues in ICS.

Does your external HD have power? Do you hear it spin up when connecting? Did you connect it when the tablet was already on, or did you power up with it connected? Do USB sticks work?
[Acer Iconia A500] darkpheonix69:
Yeah looked in mnt nothing appeared when truning the HDD on and plugging it in when the tablet was on also tried turning it on then the tablet.

Also the HDD works there is no doubt about that.

I saw usb mount need root but i haven't rooted my tablet.

Also haven't tried usb sticks but i will later when back from work.

[Acer Iconia A500] BENETNATH:
for that , we would need a dedicated A510 section..

little feedback:

lost some sleeping hours, but had great time playing with my new toy :)

no freeze or reboot as previous unit (defective). this one works smoothly

it don't see so many difference between the A510 and the A501 under custom ICS roms (was using Thor's one). both are silky working :)

but in some hardware demanding games, i see the difference. eg . cogs, riptide, ..

i still need to test shadowgun too.

i've watched some videos, and they are correctly displayed but it's not so efficient as i hoped. surely related to software, because switching to another soft change a lot de frame rate. i've tested so far bs player, mx player, vplayer

as always for me, mx player is my choice

for now, i'm happy :)

i'll do the comand above mentioned (in Terminal i suppose ?)

I like it too, but the Acer Tablets are getting a LOT more attention at that site than on XDA. There are some awesome developers there, they've even rooted and created custom ROMs for the A200, for example. XDA seems to not want to support Acer Tablets, beyond the A100 and A500 that is.
[Acer Iconia A500] experto1:
we all like xda but the fact that we still have to post under A500 is making it difficult. I don't know how many votes they need to open a A510 forum.

I would like to get my device rooted as soon as possible no matter how thats why I follow any thread in any forum.

I don't know why XDA isn't putting up more forums for us Acer users, I mean they have some forums for some VERY old and obscure devices, you'd think they could shrink or drop those and free up some space for us, they did for the A100 and A500, now we need them to do it for the A200, A510 and upcoming A700.

I'm seriously in love with this thing.

I've never had an android tablet before, I've played with people's ipads. I've owned two iphones, and a rooted nook color. I have a samsung admire laying around.

It's like every complaint I had about the nook color was taken into consideration and squashed out of this thing.

The touchscreen is superbly responsive. The screen is bright and the colors look perfect, not over-saturated like on an ipad (a thing that bothers me about everything that apple makes). The wifi so far works great in my apartment, but I haven't had the chance to sit down with it at locations in which i know there are weak open networks available.

The gps is superbly fast. Way faster than my iphone. It actually got a lock on my location within 4 seconds of opening up the maps application.

Oh yeah, and browsing on this: twice as fast as that netbook I have laying around (Asus 1215n).
