sign up for non public testing of kernel.

My m8 ezterry asks if you a100 freaks want to test non public kernels and provide him feedback.

Please contact him true pm , but only regarding the kernel testing and not other stuff.

http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2292830 this is his profile page.

So it is up to you guys if you want better custom kernels for your a100.

And please only people that know what they are doing and not newbies , don't want to offend but ezterry don't have the time to answer every question.

You need to have some base knowledge.

This is what ezterry asked me

do you know anyone (or more than one) in the a100 section interested interested in helping me test things.. must be able to pull the dmesg and adb logcats, as well as last_kmsg in order to provide me input.

Ezterry and myself don't have a A100 so its up to you all to give feedback

Regards civ.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Thanks Civato!

It was more a question than a want. I don't know if it's really all that necessary.

The menu and ring icons on status bare is more pressing for me, but it's likely got to do with he screen res on the 100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I'm down for testing kernels, logcats and such aren't an issue for me, I'll send a PM his way. Anything he needs that I don't know how to do I can google or ask a dev friend or two about. And no I'm not new to all this, just xda as a member lol. Been running android on devices never meant for it, like a HTC Apache with wm5, for like 4-5 years. My first android device was the evo4g and I've been through uhh 7 devices native android.

I have battery drain with this extreme update and Extreme-Overclocking kernel, my tab don't go in sleep mode when i turn display off
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Are you using juice defender , if so get rid of it.

And make profiles with setcpu.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] lesa0208:
nope i don't use juice defender
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] SlavPala4a:
What about the "Force 2D Acceleration" under the settings>development? Should I enable this setting or not?

Thanx :confused:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I have it on, doesn't cause any issues as long as you don't play with chainfire and leave the settings on all the time. It does help 2d benchmark scores though. Not sure if it affects battery life, though you can under lock and not lag the UI. I run 800 Max and the tab runs fine outside of games and movies, which I crank up to whatever is smooth. At 1.5 you get use around 50% per HD movie not watching end credits. I used dice player and that's what I got.

You can always flash the stock kernel with full root if you don't want or need Overclcoking and extra speed.

I was using CWM 5.5.0.4 via acer Recovery but after the patch install I can neither reinstall it via acer recovery 2.99 nor boot into recovery via Acer Recovery.

Do you know what is the problem?

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Never mind! I Used the quick Boot app and everything went perfect!

So maybe I should UnInstall Acer Rec?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You can also boot into recovery by powering off, hold volume down, the one next to the lock, hold power, release power once the recovery text starts up about update.zip and you'll boot into recovery.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Ever since I installed the new ROM I'be not been able to get Acer Recovery to function correctly. I have insured boot loader is unlocked etc. CWM 5.x.x.x is installed and functions fine.

I get a message in AR saying I need ICS installed and boot loader unlocked.

I posted this issue in the AR thread and Civato responded to my problem with "Don't blame this on Reaper Matey"

I am not trying to place blame anywhere. Don't really play blame games.

I'm just trying to find a fix.

Since then I have tried all updates to AR beta.

I have wiped everything including formatting and the issue is still.

It is not that big of a deal since I have CWM and it works like it ought too.

I would just like to have it work correctly.

As far as Reaper, it has a couple issues with the A100 which if corrected would make it more enjoyable on the A100.

I understand Civato does not have an A100 to test on. I also understand that this ROM is modified to function correctly on the A500.

If anyone is offended by this post I apologize. Nothing was said to offend but only get help, suggestion for correction of problems.

Let's get Reaper working great on the A100 for the community.

So does anyone have a fix for the ring not displaying correctly on the A100 due to the resolution. I tried the apk of one of Civato's past mods around post 14 and it would not install for some reason.

Civato thank you for your work!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
What issues are you having with FR? The issues, aside from mods done by civato, may be flaws from Acer since this based on Acer code.

If you mean the ring, the one released with lgcmn and zeronulls rom shows correctly.

I never got AR to work on my A100 and never really cared I have my recovery installed and working, and I'm not one to randomly flash a recovery unless there is a reason to. If you ran an OTA ICS it may be reading the boot loader incorrectly causing that issue, I've never run OTA ICS so I can't say if that's true or not, but suggesting a possibility. What version does the boot loader show before ICS unlocked mode?

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
I will have to look at the loader next boot.

Do you have a link to the ring that displays correctly?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
So the ring from that rom shows correctly if used on my rom ? Let me know .
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Dunno hadn't thought to try. Since I'm swapping and bench marking each one I'll grab the apk from that and swap it to FR and give it a try.

Edit: copied the apk from their rom to FR and the ring doesn't show at all now. Verified permissions, cleared caches, reboots between each, no go. Both had different permissions so I tried both sets and still no ring.

i have the newest update installed on my a100 and somehow i think its bricked..

last night my battery was at like 10% so i plugged it up the next day i went to turn it on and the power button turned blue when i pressed it but the tab didnt turn on. so i figured it didnt charge so i put it back on the charger and two hours later same thing. i havent made any changes to any files or anything last thing i installed was a game can anyone help me?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Latest update to this rom or from Acer? Either way, with the tab off press and hold volume down, the one next to the lock, and press and hold power, then report back if recovery fired up. If not next step is hard reset.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frenize:
i have the latest flexreaper with the update only patch

and nope that button combo did nothing..only thing i get is the blue light on the power button also im not plugged up when i do it
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
If you have the same charger I do. The one that the ac adapter slides onto the wall wart. If your not sure it's charging you can slide the ac adapter part off and bend the little prongs up a little bit to make sure they are making contact. Mine did this right after getting it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Well, I tried this green thing for a few hours. It's ring is okay. I am back on Reaper though.

Civato maybe you can rip the ring out and put it in a version of reaper for A100.

Oh well I need to get this tab set back up for use tomorrow.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frenize:
Nah I think it's charging cause the light comes on when I plug it up
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Acer Recovery is working now. The dev forgot to add something and that's why it did not work.

Is anyone having problems with their Market apps downloading after the flash. I keep having to manually install them or restore from Titanium B/U.

Is their a cure for this?

Goodnight y'all .
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
OK but still not the correct info, I need to know if you extract the AcerRing.apk from the green rom and placed it on running flex reaper.

I want to know if it is the ring app or the system UI or framework.

And post a screenshot with acerring on flex reaper, again I don't have a a100 so I got nothing to test or compare .

I just don't have the time to guess. Its up to you a100 users to provide info.

Oh and portrait mode is always a litlle messed up even on a500 with higher screen resolution .
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frenize:
it seems like its just blackscreening on me i get no type of indication that the tab is alive other than the light on the power button turning blue when i press it

anyone have any ideas?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Please test

Ok could someone please test this AcerRing and see if the layout is good.

It's the black theme.

Landscape should be good , portrait will not but that is also on A500.

No wipes just flash with cwm
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Tested it and the layout is quite fine in landscape.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Could you try this on also , fixed outerring to innerring but on my tablet G100W aka a500 it looks wierd

It's the outer ring that doesn't fit the resolution of the A100 , maybe it is better to make it 100% transparant for you A100 users.

And thank you finaly some info (screenshot) i can work with , it clearly shows the outer ring is the problem.

So I think the first one I uploaded will be the best for A100 users. Or I drop the outer ring and Lanscape and portrait mode will be fine. Let me know what you prefer.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Tested ;).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Here you go

Tapatalked from my A100 - Flex Reaper RF1.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Ok the first was the best . Thanks .

EDIT:

I made (for now) 2 ring mods with no outer ring so layout is good in landscape and portrait , still beta ...

Or you can do it yourself , if you download a ring mod you open (don't unzip) AcerRing.apk

Go to res/drawable and replace (dragg) the "outter_ring.png" with the one from the attachments (unzip it first the outter_ring.zip) , put the AcerRing.apk back into the mod zip and flash with cwm.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
I just got up, time zones. You can drop the outer ring if you want. All I use is that center section where the apps are. I don't use the bookmark pages either.

Thanks Civato for your efforts.

Does anyone know why my market apps won't auto download?

I'm still tired. Upto 3am messing with this thing just trying to get it functional again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
It is a know problem , I restore with playstore webpage.

EDIT :

Update for acer ring

2-Jun-2012: Acer rings optimized for A100 resolution , look here , in the future I will replace all of them if I got time
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
At the play store is there an option for downloading all apps, or is it one at a time.

I usually use Titanium backup but it's not working correctly for me.

I will check out the modded ring. Thanks for that!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
SEE OP MOD SECTION

All acerrings are optimized for A100 resolution , I dropped the outerring so it looks correct in landscape and in portrait.

Outerring is possible but view will be incorrect in portrait mode

examples of A100 rings with no outerring (screenshot is taken on a G100W so that got higher resolution then the a100)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Here's an example of it on the a100 ;).

I don't know what is going on now.

I downloaded the new Reaper file, and wiped, etc, like I have been doing with no issues but now after installing the Reaper with the new Acer Ring I am just getting Boot Loops.

I have rebooted twice but it just keeps boot looping'

Any suggestions?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Please read installation instructions of all things.

Don't wipe , why would you wanna wipe for a mod flash?

Full wipe , install rom , reboot , do settings .

Then go back to cwm and flash mods but don't wipe.

Never wipe for a patch or mod.

I already put in the patch a wipe cache script.

I flashed 20 ring mods today testing for you A 100 users and no problems.

And please take a full nandroidbackup before you start messing with mods and stuff.

Here is my score on Antutu benchmark.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I've been talking with him on gtalk and it isn't anything he could help /data refuses to mount, mine has done this a few times before too. So he can't wipe in cwm even if he wants to. Not sure what triggers this but it does happen. This is the specific reason I'm creating the wipe scripts for this device. Not everyone can use adb shell for format partitions.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Thanks very much for helping me with this problem.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
OK.

Maybe you should talk to persons who made the cwm for your device.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
The ring is 100℅ better. It looks better without that outer ring. Too bad it would hold more apps. I use it like a hidden dock.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It just happened to be your rom he was flashing it wasn't anything caused by it, nor did he say it was, got it figured out. Turned out to be a mount switch that somehow decided it wasn't needed anymore. So just in case it happens again to anyone, check cwm mount internal if you get /data mount errors on dalvik or factory reset wipes.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
I know , I thank you for that.

But the users seems to like the ones without outer transparant ring more. See my OP in ring mods.

Did you just modded the outer ring to get it lined out on a100.

I don't have one , I got a G100w so with me your ring is terrible because of resolution difference.

So it is hard for me to test if I don't have the device.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] lgcmn:
well, tastes differ) i like the original one with outer ring))

yep, i modded AcerRing for A100, cause i have A100:)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Don't get me wrong on my tablet with higher resolution the outer ring looks great but on lower resolution the outer ring looks so small
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Does the outer ring do anything besides look pretty?

As far as I can see it is just a graphic. Either ring is fine, I just happen to like the one without the outer ring.

I will take a look at the app in app app.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
outer ring is just looks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
That's what

I figured.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Now, I have another weird problem.

Nothing to do with Reaper, I don,t think, so everyone stay calm.

I flashed the extras so I could check out that app Civato mentioned. I looked in app drawer and none of the apps are showing up. They do not show up anywhere even though they installed.

So I extracted the apk's and installed appinapp. It says it installed but again it shows up nowhere. Not in app drawer, not in settings/all apps, no where.

More info, I used root explorer and was looking around. I clicked on ext sd and it was empty. I went to mnt/ext sd and the same thing. Sd in both were full up as usual.

What the heck is going on now?

I appreciate y'alls help.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Do you mean external SD or sd-ext? SD-EXT will be empty unless you formatted for it and use it for app2sd.

As for the app drawer, what launcher and have you rebooted a couple times?

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Both are empty.

I just did a wipe of all areas and ran your tool, then loaded reaper, the latest version. I am setting up now. I'all let ya know in a sec if it worked.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
OK. So I'm gunna do this tonight. Hopefully someone can make sure my recap of steps are right beforehand.

1.flash cwm, do full back up of ota stock ics 4.0.3

2. Do factors reset threw settings

3.fflash rom threw cwm

4.Flash acer ring

5.profit?

Is there anything I'm Missing? I can flash this rom straight from stock ics right? And only wipe right before I flash this rom and that's it

If someone can verify my summed up steps. Would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I would root your stock ics first. Also, unlock your boot loader before throwing new recoveries at it. Its all in this forum.

Read the instructions for rooting and unlocking and flashing recovery completely BEFORE starting, you can brick doing this stuff. Read, don't skim or speed read it.

Root stock ics.

Flash unlocked boot loader

Flash recovery, I'd use twrp but up to you.

In recovery make full backup.

Once done factory reset.

Go to mounts, mount system.

Format system, same menu down a few.

Install from SD card, pick your reaper zip.

Once done go and wipe your cache.

Go to advanced and wipe dalvik.

Reboot system.

Once you see the welcome screen turn it off and let it sit 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes do the welcome stuff then reboot.

Done. Install or restore apps. Not app data if you can help it.

Some say wipe cache before flashing, its up to you before or after, I just do after in case something gets in there while flashing, personal preferrance same as the 10 minute wait. For me I never have odd bugs or lags doing this on all of my devices, up to you.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
sorry i forgot to say unlock bootloader. thanks for pointing that out.

im already rooted on stock ics.

i did read whole instructions. but for some reason i thought i read you had to flash the leaked ics first. we dont have to do this correct?

i gave you a thanks and thanks again for list of steps

oh ya why do you prefer trwp over cwm?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I dont think you need to flash the leak if you have ics already that was for us to get off HC and get the booloader we could unlock. You can flash the leak first if that makes you feel better. Pretty sure its the same bootloader. Most of the process was figured out before official ics came out. Just be sure the bootloader is the right one, ie dont try to unlock a HC bootloader, check the version against the instructions in the post.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
So Trevor did you get it flashed?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
i was super busy last night. i just unlocked my bootloader. with success. i want to do twrp recovery. but it says must have ics leak. i just have stock rom. is that ok??
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Again the leak is to get the boot loader to unlock, once that is unlocked you're fine to flash twrp and flex reaper. Or stay with cwm whatever works for you. Basically once you unlocked mode your boot loader you can do whatever you want. That means be careful and ask questions when in doubt don't rush things or you can mess it up pretty badly. Only use a100 roms and recoveries or flash able zips like my wipes, never use another devices files.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
ok just flashed twrp

and made a backup. so all i need to do is wipe/factory settings then flash rom? im about to look at my notes to double check lol
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
In twrp go to wipe button then wipe cache dalvik system data then home upper right then install and pick the flex reaper zip file. If it doesn't show up switch to mount internal or external depending where it is.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
whats this about?

NOTE: When installing a Custom Recovery at some point you have to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh or remove it. I would recomend you rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak. You should do this before doing "adb reboot bootloader"

i just read this i believe for the first time. if i didnt do this, should I? is it too late

do i need to wipe from twrp then reboot and factory reset from settings or only wipe?

thank you for the help man
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
That over writes your twrp with stock. Its only as issue on stock roms so go to twrp wipe everything I said, not from android from twrp, then flash flex and you'll be fine no need to delete that file. If you already booted back into stock you need to reflash your recovery again. Just the recovery part not the boot loader part.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
Sorry for all the questions. you said if i rebooted after i flashed twrp which i did. so im at my launcher now.

just now you said. wipe from twrp flash flex reaper rom

then you said if you already booted back to into stock. i needto reflash recovery again ( meaning twrp right?) if so is that before or after i flash flex?

going to flash right when i hear back from you
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah if you boot stock it overwrites recovery with stock. Follow the directions to unlock and flash recovery, but skip to flashing recovery. Reinstall your twrp then wipe as I said in twrp and flash flex. After that you can ignore that deleting or renaming that file as civato took it out in flex. It is used for the mount swap if you want to do that which I can help with if you need it.

With the stock recovery you can not flash flex or any non stock Acer rom. Custom recovery like twrp must be flashed first.

Good luck and enjoy civato's legendary awesomeness!
