its nothing that special i just modded the outer ring texture to be transparent so it wouldn't look all messed up :x
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mdowns989:
On the acer ring there is a tab for screenshot... is it only on the ring or is it anywhere else ?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
The snapshot i can only find on the ring not sure where its hiding in the tab. Hope someone can give us a extended power menu similar to CM9 where it gives you options to snapshot anywhere.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] utctigers:
Can someone list the exact steps in flashing a500 roms to our a100(like which files to remove from the zip). Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:

Everyone seems to say that the only folders that need to be left in the zip are:

EC

flexrom

META-INF

system

I tried this with Flexreaper and was unsuccessful. It may have been a problem when I repacked it though, I have not investigated at all. I have been able to get quite a few working by flashing and then restoring the boot.img from my original nandroid I made after installing CWM. I'm not sure if my way is not as good or what though.

I make a full backup. Wipe data/factory reset. Flash the rom. Go to Advanced Restore and select boot.img. And this has worked with numerous A500 roms. I hope I helped somewhat and I hope someone can come in here who was successful doing it the way you would like and explain it to you.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] utctigers:
Thx, trying it out now.....

UPDATE

used 7zip and got Taboonay with the latest 3.0.1 build going with the build prop mod from the dev section. I am having some camera issues to where the front facing is inverted and the rear camera doesnt work and FC the app, anyone else having this issue
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
what we need is a custom rom built for the a100 :-D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] illego:
What are you using to edit the zip? Hope you are not extracting it. I believe they are compile into binaries (I could be wrong here). You cannot just extract it. Just use 7zip to open the zip and delete the files then save it back up. I've kept the data directory and it works fine but deleted it because I didn't want any of those apps. Seems like bloat.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Euclid's Brother:
Ask the dev to post an a100 version. Sounds like all he needs to do is replace the kernel and some build.prop changes.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
A custom rom would be cool but what i'd really love would be a custom kernal that would allow for functions our tab should have had out of the box aswell as possibly some refined touchscreen drivers kernal side that would improve our ICS touchscreen, since currently the touchscreen is a lil funky on certain games (which mind you work normally on ICS on my captivate)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
Great tip. This is much appreciated. I was in fact unzipping and rezipping like a nub. I'm still figuring some of this out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] utctigers:
lol, i did the same 7zip worked like a charm. Thanks all for the help
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] blmvxer:
All you need to replace it the boot.img from the a500 with ours from the a100, I made a custom rom from taboonay and it worked fine. but you can either compile one yourself or just flash an a500 rom and flash the boot.img using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
hello, would you mind sharing how you compiled the rom with our boot.img and managed to get it to flash correctly through cwm? thanks again
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] raphsabb:
Weird thing for me: cwm flashes fine but if I boot into android and install rom manager it disappears....anyways, I was able to flash flex reaper on it juss as long as I didn't try to install rom manager
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mdowns989:
I have flashed a few roms without making or replacing boot.img... I just used 7zip to remove the boot.img or hboot from the A500 rom and it works fine... currently running Flex Reaper with the 'tweaked' kernel... only rom I haven't been able to load is AOKP... ALL through CWM
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] oneovakindoldys2:
Hello guys, thanks for the suggestions, but i have the A500 roms installing fine, I actually went ahead and rebuilt flexreaper with the a100 boot.img and it installs great, but i was wondering if the op new how to compile the rom without having to completely rebuild it via cmdlne or through the kitchen. Flexreaper works very well in our a100's and it seems faster and more stable than any that i have tried on the a100 thus far. thanks again
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] blmvxer:
I would share it but I don't have a place to host it, do you know where I could?.

And it comes with my own build.prop tweaks, gapps, blackmart( ;) ), es file explorer, and ics browser+.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I believe you could share it via dropbox, filedropper as well as mediafire being great for sharing.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mdowns989:
Like I said I have flashed several without making or replacing any .img files...just delete the ones included in ROM zip...has anyone tried flashing AOKP using an A100 .img and have it work?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] illego:
Someone should just make a rom out of our new .12 leak. Touch screen seems to work a lot better than the A500 roms.

I'll make one tonight, and hopefully have up tonight.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Euclid's Brother:
Flexreaper is a great ROM. It's what I'm running on my A500.

Civato is going to release an official A100 version of FLEAXREAPER, but it may be named something else, to avoid confusion.

Question: is the boot.img your using already patched to allow /system to be remounted as r/w? or is that blocked. If it's not patched, I'll try to patch it tonight. (If drellisdee doesn't beat me to it).

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

You'll probably have to be on the old bootloader to get it to boot. probably too much trouble, unless you can figure out how to install it w/o the new bootloader and cwm..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
Great news about Flexreaper. As far as I know the boot.img is not already patched to allow /system r/w. After flashing a500 roms I always have to run the Full Root Script posted by Zeronull in order to allow the /system folder to be remounted as r/w..

Is there a way to roll in cossix's memory swap mod into one of these custom roms?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] blmvxer:
Depends on the rom, some roms have the install-recovery.sh and some don't.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] raphsabb:
I used the boot.img from my backup and I didn't have to run zeronull's root script. Once flexreaper was loaded, root ran fine

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
I didn't read through all of this, but i heard of people trying to restore their boot partition after flashing a ROM for another device. The boot partition is where your kernels resides and your basically just restoring your old kernel with the one for the a500 or 200 ROM. This isn't recommend as for one as I'm sure you guys have seen its not always compatible. And second other things can easily break. I would advise you guys wait for developers to make custom ROM's for this device natively
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
precisely!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] PRBajista:
This may be true, but I installed stock ics (009), rooted it, backed it up with clockwork, and installed flexreaper ics, Rebooted and it didnt boot, I restored the boot from my stock ics backup, flexreaper booted & ran with no issues. I had to rerun the root script again, but other than that all is well. Of course this wont work for all A500 Roms but I have had no issues for a few days, maybe over a week with this rom only. YMMV.

Root problem

I installed this ROM and it is very fast, but when I tried to install the card swap utility, Root Explorer would not mount the \system\etc as RW. Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] blmvxer:
Yeah the new a500 roms don't have install-recovery.sh but the log says it tries to use it. so I tried incorporating the r/w script into it and it froze at boot.

best thing to do is to make an .sh of our r/w script and run it when you need to write to the system file.

My version of tabooyay the camera works, and I use the same build.prop for it and my RomFlex(Flexreaper) so it's with the drivers.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
No, I have not done anything special. I'm using the boot.img from Zeronull's rom and flexreaper R11. I did use the stock .009 boot.img with no issues on R10 though. Glad to hear video works properly on the front facing camera .
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Raul77:
I am using the version you posted there, i just flashed that after being on stock ICS (leaked version) i did NOT restore anything once flashed (no boot.img or anything) since thats what you said to do.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the_bone_collector:
This goes out to all those who are experiencing the Launcher FC issue with AOKP Milestone 4 / Build 28.

I tried installing AOKP over the Chinese Leak ICS Chainfire Repack. This could be one of the reasons the Stock Launcher FCs

Solution :

IMPORTANT ! : This solution will wipe / reset your phone. So use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and data

First ensure you are currently on a properly rooted ICS ROM (Chinese leak, Chainfire Repack, AOSP v5 or earlier, etc.)

Backup your data using Titanium Backup!

Install AOSP v6 as per the instructions in the OP

here

(if you don't already have it)

Wipe to Factory Defaults / Reset *Just being cautious, but you could try without this and restart from step 1 if it does not work*

Boot and set up your Google account (if not already done)

Install a launcher of your choice (I use ADW Launcher EX, but others should hopefully work too)

Set the new launcher as the default (select the check box at the bottom of the window that shows up when you press the home button before you click on the new launcher's name). The next time you press the home button, the new launcher should be shown automatically, no selections needed

Reboot to recovery

Flash AOKP as instructed in 2nd post

here

(Don't wipe !)

Reboot!

In case you want to switch back to the Stock Launcher after flashing AOKP, go to Settings -> Apps -> select the new Launcher -> scroll down and press Clear Defaults

Then press the home button and tick the checkbox at the bottom and select the Stock Launcher.

Hope this helps ! Have fun ! ;)

Cheers !

Ok so i have had my galaxy s captivate for 1.5 years and love it. ATT now has a sale until March 28th to get the sgs2 for 9.99 as my upgrade. My question is should i grab this great deal or wait on the sgs3 which is going to be expensive as hell.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaitken98:
You should definitely get it!

Development has skyrocketed for the Galaxy S II and there's dozens of ROMs available, but the Galaxy S III seems ok but if you're impatient for ROMs 'n' stuff you're better with the Galaxy S II.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
better wait for sgs3 and see what it offers and its price and sgs2 price will drop after sgs3

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subhani:
if you can wait and afford it, then theres no question. the s3. no amount of roms can make 8 mp 12, dual core into 4 and so on. youll be competing with the best of the high end the likes of the s2 and the 4s.

unless the s3 turns out to be a pile of snot upon release ofcourse.

as an s2 owner since last may, i can say that i picked a gnexus on upgrade but found that the s2 was on a par or better in some respects. the s3, if it bests the s2, is a no brainer.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
These two will not mean much to the OP, given he said:

This means he is an AT&T user in the USA, and is talking about an upgrade to the Galaxy SII for AT&T, or the Skyrocket. No chance he'll be able to upgrade to the GT-I9100. AT&T doesn't offer the I9100 at all.

OP, ATT has their own model of Galaxy SII, which is the SGH-I777, and another variant for LTE called the Skyrocket, which is the SGH-I727.

You are currently in the forum for the GT-I9100, which is the international model of the Galaxy SII. There are similarities between the SGH-I777 and the GT-I9100, but there are differences as well. Firmwares are not totally compatible between the two. If you flash an I777 firmware to an I9100, or vice versa, it won't TOTALLY break your phone, but things won't work right.

The I727 (Skyrocket) has completely a different SoC/chipset, so firmwares are COMPLETELY not compatible with either the I777 OR the I9100.

The SGH-I777 and SGH-I727 both have their own forums.

[Xperia Play General] metcard:
Touch pad as a mouse would be great on the browser imo.

Left stick for pointer and right stick for scrollilng, and obviously the face buttons for standard fuctions like X to select (left click), O as right click, square for stop/refresh page and triangle for back.

It would make selecting links so easy, and browsing far more enjoyable.
[Xperia Play General] ridder215215:
That would be nice, but I would prefer using the L and R buttons for selecting/right clicking.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
The touchpad is a dual touch surface, so I would use dual swiping to scroll up and down, and single swiping to move the cursor around. The triggers can be used to go back and forward, the X button for selections, and the other 3 could be assigned to different functions (Bookmarks, Refresh, and Share).
[Xperia Play General] Streykatorato:
Would be really nice :)
