Just like the title reads, I am not looking for a custom boot animation, I already have some, but rather before the boot animation, right when you turn on the phone, there is a gray Google logo and a lock/unlock logo that appears before the animation, wondering if there is a way to change the layout on this, just looking for another little something to tweak thanks :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rubercarkeys:
Always wondered the same thing,I know there is the first Google logo, then it flickers and a second one shows.it may be a permanent logo?

It's hard-coded to the kernel, you'll need to recompile the kernel with changed picture.

You can do a factory reset and then root!

Bought a used Streak today.

The battery cover is a little flakey. Sometimes the phone will boot, sometimes not. Sometimes it starts to and then hangs with the Dell splash screen.

Are there any battery cover work-arounds I can employ until a replacement cover arrives?'

If you're able and willing to do it there are ROMs available which have that disabled...for example, I'm using the simplestreak rom and don't suffer from that inconvenience
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meber:
I was thinking today about how fast battery drain is when you have no reception, so I had an idea. Why not after 5 minutes of no reception and the phone not physically moving that it goes into airplane mode automatically. Could this be done? Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
I've used both Connection Checker and Wireless Power Chief though honestly I ended up uninstalling both since the battery savings really weren't that substantial (though I did only use them for wifi). I'm unsure of a specific app that's designed for what you're describing, though I'm sure tasker can be configured to do it without an issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
Hey there,

I installed this ROM onto my Iconia Tab 2 days ago, and it has been working fine. However, this morning, when I turned my Iconia Tab on, it went to the messed up boot screen as normal, but this time it was stuck on it. (Before It would go to this screen and then go to the boot animation after about 5 seconds)

I have left the tablet plugged in and on this screen for 1 hour, but it still hasen't loaded. I have tried using the reset pinhole, but that hasen't helped.

When I first flashed this ROM, I first installed Acer Recovery Installer, which I used to install CWM. Then I installed the "Rom Manager" app for ClockWork Mod (I got both from Google Play). After that, I installed the ROM zip file with the Rom Manager app, and as I said before it has been working perfectly, but today it is broken.

My main problem is that my volume rocker is broken, and so I cannot access CWM recovery. I do not have any important data on my tablet, and so all I need is a way to enter recovery mode without the use of the volume buttons (USB keyboard, possibly? Or can I do it from my PC?).

I've asked acer about this, and they want $300 to fix the volume rocker.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You should be able to connect via ADB and run the boot to recovery from there. Not sure of the exact command, but you can Google it.
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
Plugged it into my PC, it shows up as a "MTP USB Device", instead of a Composite ADB. I've already got Android SDK and Acer's Drivers installed.

:(
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
With the app Acer recovery installer you can boot into recovery. Open the app and there is the option.

And don't use rom manager to install a rom.

Rom manager doesn't support a500 , install rom from cwm. When you install follow installation instructions , does it says to use rommanager ? It says flash from cwm or ra recovery and wipe all , problems well do real format , so you get rid of corrupt data.

Stuck in a boot loop, maybe you installed a mod that is not for flexreaper.

And update your recovery to the latest, Google tegra owners or use Ra recovery that you find here on xda.
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
Thank you, but if you read my OP, It will tell you that I cannot boot into android, and so I cannot open Acer Recovery Installer. Also even if I got into CWM, how would I navigate it without the use of volume buttons? D:
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
If you updated to the latest cwm 1.7.1 touch recovery you didn't need hardware buttons to navigate.

Did you try downloading the latest cwm , rename that zip file to update.zip and put it on your external SD , normally it should run automaticly , I think.

But then again you need the volume switch to enter recovery.

Is there no way you can press the volume ?

You tried reinstalling Acer drivers ?
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
Thanks, but yes I have reinstalled the drivers.

After searching google, I have found out that Acer's ADB drivers are not compatible with 64bit windows, and I do not have access to a 32bit machine.

Right now in device manager it shows up as a "MTP USB Device", but there is a yellow exclamation mark next to it, and the error is "This Device Could Not Start. (Code 10)"

According to more google searching, my boot problem can be fixed simply by clearing the Dalvik cache, but the only way to do that is to use recovery (which I cannot access) or a command in ADB (which I ALSO cannot access)
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I'm running 64 bit windows 7 and no problems here with adb.
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
OK, I just realized that I had a older version of the drivers, I'm downloading a newer version now, and I'll get back to you on whether it works out.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah, with the correct drivers it should show as ADB Device. Here is a link for commands;

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/6865-how-use-adb-all-commands-options.html

You'll need to type:

ADB Shell

Then enter

Then probably need to type:

ADB Reboot Recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
Installed drivers, no luck. I'm beginning to feel that it's not working because android itself isn't loading... IDK...

Can one of you please post instructions on how you installed your drivers?

I just got mine off acer.com and ran the installer .exe, then rebooted my PC. Is this the correct procedure?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If I remember correctly, I started adb through the sdk, then plugged in my tab (on). I think at that time, I was asked to install the drivers, so I let the install new hardware find them. I think they're just the generic google adb drivers.

Either that, or I instructed a specific location to install them from. I also remember getting a warning that the driver may not be compatible, however, most instructions tell you to ignore this and select it anyhow.

I have several different devices,so it's hard to remember.
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
OK, I made a video of my problem, and me trying to install ADB drivers:

Also here is a photo of the screen that it's stuck on:

I broke my volume rocker too. But its only a plastic rocker I glued my down with a small Dap of gorilla glue one week later still holding stronge
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
Hey,

I tried removing the physical rocker and using a pen to press the physical buttons underneath, but those presses are still not registered.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
try to remove drivers using Device Manager and reconnect device or connect your device to another usb port. Acer's driver setup utility doesn't really install driver but only copies file. You need to force Windows 7 to lookup drivers for new device.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
if you were to pull it open(very easy) you could just boot up with your finger pressing the real button down or at least see if its been pulled from the board
[Acer Iconia A500] pcman2000:
I have managed to install the ACER_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 ROM via the secret APX method, however I am unable to install CWM or CWM Touch, as I cannot root the device, because GingerBreak requires an external MicroSD card, which, for some reason, is not recognized by the ROM. The ROM also only detects 128MB of internal storage, when my tablet has 32GB. Furthermore, the Camera dosen't work, it just displays a black screen, and when I press the shutter button, the camera LED goes on, and it attempts to focus, but cannot.

How would I go about flashing on CWM so I can flash on another ROM?

Thanks for all your help.

EDIT: I tried formatting it with CWM on my phone, and then putting it back into my tablet, but it still won't work.

(works fine on my phone)
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
Is it formated fat 32?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If this is a 3.1 rom, you only need to get iconiaroot.apk. You should be able to copy it to your internal SD, then install it from a file manager.

Get iconia root 1.3 here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138228

Once that is done, you should be able to get AcerRecovery from the market and Install RA or CWM recovery.

And once you get recovery going, I would do some serious formatting on your internal memory.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
do you know if your usb ports work? You could try formatting an external hard drive and running it through this drive , just curious what ROM you were using , it sounds to me like your running a ROM thats not made for the acer , could be why the drivers arent being recognized
[Acer Iconia A500] tnkrer:
no sound

I came to latest flexreaper (FLEXREAPER-R11-1.031.00+BATTERY%+WhiteText-MODS) recently from Thor 14.2 (less than 10 posts, so cannot post to developer section). After installing the ROM (which has worked without any other than this problem .. Thanks Civato), I have not been able to hear any sound. when I go into settings, under sound, volume, the first two options are crossed out and I don't see a way of getting that sound back. I do not see anyone having this problem, so it must be something simple/stupid. Is there a mute button on this tab that I don't know of?

How else can I turn on the sound ..

Thanks

Flashed another ICS (Thor) volume is back .. will try out this ROM for a while. Looks nice

md5: d26b3253358407d459c654e6729a39ca

rename PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip to "PG05IMG",move to your sd card,and flash in hboot.

this is important! you must flash the PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9.zip first

after successfully flashing that,you will be on unrooted gingerbread with an eng s-off bootloader. delete the PG05IMG file from your sd card. now place the PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.9.zip on your sd card. check the md5. once youve verified it matches,you can rename PG05IMG and flash it.

again, only flash the hboot file after you have successfully flashed the rom.

now you are 100% stock on latest firmware. unrooted gingerbread 2.11.605.9 with *locked* 1.05.0000 s-on bootloader.

What is the question?

If you ARE rooted you need to install a file manager (Ex. Root Explorer), set R/W and either delete or Rename the file. Suggest you simply rename by adding a .bak to the end of it.

Once this is complete flash the recovery image through fastboot.
