Format system is in the wipe menu, not mounts. Mount menu is for mounting or unmounting partitions and/or switching between internal and external SD. So, from in twrp, go to wipe, then wipe cache, dalvik cache, data, system. Go to install, then pick the zip. This is where I think i confused you, if you do NOT see the zip file, go back out the Home screen, then mounts, and the two options with circles (not the check boxes above) choose the other option, then go back out to Home, then back into Install, and find your zip. Then flash the ROM zip file.

This is starting to take up alot of thread space, so if you have gtalk hit me up on it piomasaki@gmail.com if you have any more issues or problems. Or anyone that has questions for that matter lol.

Nvm I tried whole process again and I'm getting boot animation I've never seen before. So I think that's a good sign will update
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Just for the record, I have never once formatted system on my phone or tablet and have never had a flashing issue. I always skip that step.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
ok good to no but i think im gunna get used too formatting system just in case. butt so far so good. my first rom lol now on to my tf300
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well I've learned to learn from other peoples mistakes. I've forgotten that step before and gotten boot loops and other random wierdness so I do it. I also have my own scripts so I don't have to remember anymore lol. It makes sense that the files would be correctly overwritten but you just never know. I also format before I install windows or linux. Well I DD the drives to zero then format but I like my stuff stable. Then I know if its the install or something I did vs not taking the 3 seconds to wipe first and having bugs that way. Or I guess 10-40 minutes to DD the device, depending on the device its used on.

Most roms already wipes system for you in the installation script. But there are those that do not. Always good practice to do it anyways just in case.

in ICS there are some difficulties with hard reset via updater-script
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
In future release I'm going to put in the updater script (off a full rom) a full wipe script so the users tablet is clean and there are no problems like , wifi and home button responce.

this is what I'm going to us in my script , it is already in my test verisons.

And your tablet is clean and ready for a nice install.

show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print("CLEANING THE TABLET , ALL DATA WILL BE GONE !!!");
ui_print("1. Erasing & formatting CACHE partition");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4", "0");

ui_print("2. Erasing & formatting SYSTEM partition");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0");

Yeah , m8 , if I release a next version I will make it clear that if they flash a full rom , there tablet gets wiped.

Is there a way to view ur google bookmarks like from chrome on the acer ring instead of pre made bookmarks that come with the device. I really hope there is a way

And how do u take a screen shot of ur acer ring. Every time it goes away and just screenshots what's behind the acer ring
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ezterry:
Not that I am of the habit of almost never wiping a computer/phone/tablet.. (and when I do keeping my data storage)

In this case one thing I really don't like about the idea is it kills your data storage (/data/media) Now if some of your hacks installed something there, or have problems with specific files delete those but my recommendations are usually:

#Format System
if is_mounted("/system")
unmount("/system");
endif;
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0");

#Format Flex
if is_mounted("/flexrom")
unmount("/flexrom");
endif;
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6", "0");

#### CUT Rest of script here as normal ####

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8", "/data");
#clean up data
#(old from HC updaters)
delete("/data/data/com.acer.android.dlna.services/databases/dlnacontent.db");
#wipe dalvik-cache
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/cache/dalvik-cache");

If you really have many users installing from a very different system.. maybe also wipe

the rest of data: (sans the media and if it exists linux sub directories)

#Format System
if is_mounted("/system")
unmount("/system");
endif;
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "0");

#Format Flex
if is_mounted("/flexrom")
unmount("/flexrom");
endif;
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p6", "0");

#### CUT Rest of script here as normal ####

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8", "/data");
#clean up data

run_program("/sbin/sh","-c","(
cd /data;
rm -rf `ls -a | grep -v media | grep -v linux`;
rm -rf /data/media/.android_secure
)");

#wipe dalvik-cache (if any exists on /cache
delete_recursive("/cache/dalvik-cache");

**FYI these scripts are untested.. so if they wipe more than expected its your own fault for not backing up

Just an opinion wiping data outright will always fail if something is using it in recovery (such as a recovery where you are flashing from the internal sdcard (/data/media) rather than the external one.

many problems also happen when something mounts system causing the wipe of system in all full roms to fail (actually this and dalvik-cache are the two biggest headaches on a botched install.. particularly small updates where its unexpected for the apps to have a problem)

Thus you may notice both the attempt to unmount system if it is mounted, and the removal of dalvik-cache that will auto-regenerate (the upgrading screen) when you boot into the rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Really you can only format data without losing internal SD by either changing its mount point or cp it somewhere else then format then back again. Considering it can be up to like 5.5 gb that's not a very time efficient method, which is why I didn't include that in my wipe scripts. Changing the mount point inside recovery may be possible, more likely we'll need a new recovery that mounts it elsewhere, like mmcblk1p3 or something.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ezterry:
that’s why recovery leaves the ext partition as is and just wipes the data not the partition as a whole.. 99.99% of the time this is fine.. we do need better tools to repair the ext partition (its included in recovery as command line only.. at least the ones I'm using on the A500.. need to make a UI)

If you want to use a switch script to use the actual sdcard that is another story.. but that is not very optimal on the 32gb a500

some of the ext drives in my computer however have been active for years longer than the current computer, so the filesystem really is not the problem (usually.. something was preventing the tools from seeing what was wrong with my /data lately and I had to copy the whole drive off.. do a full format.. and push everything back.. but this is an exception and I didn't even change roms, I think it was something with the ICS update.. but can't be sure.. was working anyway for months just noticed the warnings and wanted to fix it up)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah I agree generally speaking ext4 fs is perfectly reliable for years at a time outside of mechanical issues or possibly software directly changing it, which is rare outside of flashing. My wipe tools would probably work on the a500 if the partition maps the same, but I would not suggest DD zeroing 32 Gb. 5.5 takes 20 minutes.

The nullify scripts are essentially a way to nuke the partitions to remove ANYTHING that could cause problems, not just for installing a rom. The wipe scripts can be used per install, I do, but I don't use internal SD so it doesn't matter if it wipes that too. Not everyone keeps their backups and rooms and what not on external. Its easier with crossix swap but I've done it this way for years.

I'm working with someone on a couple new projects that uses MTD. It does direct nand read and write. Should be a lot faster and offer a way around nuking /data/media with formats. Second project is giving a touch UI even on non touch cwm, I'm looking to make device specific tools that are as easy to use as twrp but offer much more tools to be used. As you mentioned a lot of the tools need adb shell to run. This would eliminate that and give you the tools right there in recovery no PC needed. We've just started researching this so it'll be quite some time before we even know if it can be done with minimal risks or not.

I have noticed one issue with flex rom. If the tablet is off and I turn it on, i have to manually reconnect to my wifi. I don't have to enter my password or anything just go into settings and click connect. Any thoughts?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Yeah, same here with the wifi.

I put the wifi widget on the desktop to quickly turn on/off.

It's a known issue, seems some get the bug and some don't.

It is very annoying though. There should be some way to fix it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
I used to have FLEXREAPER on mine and had no such issue. What's your Wifi Advanced settings?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
I thought I figured it out but it's intermittent. Most of the time my wifi is off with it on every now and then.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] trevor7428:
Ya its def a intermittented issue. When I. Turn a100 on sometimes everything is fine. But sometimes have to click on my wifi to connect. Not tthat big of an. Issue. Unless ur constantly turning on and off ur tab. With the Tom as a whole no complaints here
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Yeah, not that big a deal. Just kind of annoying sometimes when you open the browser ans you get some error and you forgot to make dure wifi is on.

Too bad a script or something could not be put in the ROM or someplace turning wifi off then back on during boot?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I'll have one for you in a minute gotta put my son down for a nap. But basically

Run as su (root)

svc wifi disable

sleep 5

svc wifi enable

Will turn off then on wifi. On a boot script it will be on boot every boot.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok here goes, zip has 3 files, read me with instructions, 1 with crossix mount swap, 1 with only wifi bits. Let me know how it works out.

Compatible outright with stock/modified stock ROMs. Works with CM9 with scriptmanager and set for Root and Boot.

Simple 3 lines, wifi off, wait 5 seconds, wifi on. Will work each boot, not wake up from sleep.

Thanks to wildrat for inspiring this!

Edit: it works, however wifi doesn't automatically connect, so it doesn't seem any better then before. Sorry thought this would do it. I don't have the issue so I can't test it myself. I'm looking to find the final piece to connect but so far I can't find it. Thanks to wildrat for testing and giving feedback on it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
No problem.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
I modified pio_masaki script and tested six times powered off and by reboot and wifi was on at boot each time. Follow same instructions in zip. Make sure to rename the file you choose accordingly.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Thanks for that, seems the missing command was one I thought didnt work but wildrat got that taken care of.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Well, the good news. The wifi fix did not put us out of a job. Woke up and turned tablet on and wifi did not boot. It has everytime since though. Maybe just a glitch, who knows.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dms76:
On my case the wifi is on just not connected. I see all the wifi ssids in my area.. I haven't tested the script yet.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
The problem is not seeing connections but connecting to your preferred connection automatically at boot.

So far the script has worked without fail except one time this morning.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Are all of you having wifi issues using that modded build.prop? It does mess with wifi settings...I never had it happen and I don't use it.

I don't use the modified build.prop. So far except for one time this morning wifi has been booting fine. Like now, it's close to two AM and I decided to turn the tablet on and wifi booted up also.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
All I can say is the wifi booting is working 99% better for me, but it did not boot for me this morning. Odd how unpredictable it is, well I'm not going to worry with it anymore. It's much better so I will leave it at that.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
How can I get the market to see my A100 as an A500. I tried that build.prop with this ROM and ended up flashing the ROM again to get the tablet to function again. I have not tried anything since as I was flashing and setting up too much.

Try the build.prop I've attached (remove the ".txt" extension).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Is this different from the other build.prop that was posted? And have you used this build prop?

A few edits were made and I'm using this build.prop right now (just pulled it from /system ;)).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] plaseo:
No wifi only
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
I think I would leave it. It may have other components that are being used in the apk for the tablet. You could rename it and see if anything is affected, but even that might cause problems. Maybe someone that's knows will chime in eventually.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It doesn't seem to cause any issues on tablets. Did that on my nook color because it would run rampant on the system sometimes causing wake locks and suckinggn CPU and battery. I renamed it just to test and rebooted, tablet hasn't melted so I guess its OK. Just remember you did it in case you start having issues to rename it back. Don't delete it yet just rename it phone.bak or something.

Windows 8 Theme

So Im on vacation and can't test it but I ported BroBot157 windows 8 theme to this rom, and would like to know if it installs ok but I don't have my a100 with me. Aroma installer is a little rough around the edges since I couldn't calibrate it.

There's a version for stock and extreme editions of the rom.

Here's the download link: http://d-h.st/jtD

Does HDMI output work on this? It shows I connect a cord but nothing else...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
I heard thru the grapevine that this ROM is not being developed for A100 anymore. This would explain why the op has not checked in recently.

I had hopes for this ROM but since nothing is being done with it for the A100 community I regretfully have had to flash CM9 to stay up to date with current trends.

Maybe the dev will have a change of heart and help us A100 owners out at which time I will flash Reaper again.

Thanks to the Dev for the time and effort he gave.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well when a breakthrough happens he'll update us like he did with his extreme edition, but the rom is pretty much done I don't think there's much more to do with a stock base. He gave us an excellent rom even when he doesn't own the a100. Everyone drop him some thanks if you haven't already lol

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:

Don't get me wrong. I think Civato did a wonderful job on Reaper, that is why I used it. It is now time to move on to a ROM being continually developed and like I said if development begins on Reaper again I will use it again. I don't like it when roms stagnate, for instance on my Droid X I use liberty rom and it has stagnated, no update of any sort in months .

Reaper is a good ROM and anyone considering using it , do it, you won't regret. I hope this appeases the ROM dieties. :cyclops:

Here is the kernal from ZN Custom Firmware by zeronull.

just use install.bat to install this to your tab (have android debugging enabled)

This kernal allows you to use a app like setcpu to control the cpu frequency an change the govenor (on demand seams to give the best results)

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wildrat58:
Yep, Plaññer worked fine for me also.

Was Planner part of the apps in the ROM or was it part of the extras, I can't remember. If it was in extras did you use extra from the A100 thread?

You could also try fixing permissions also, if you haven't already. Try the uninstall/reinstall method also, rebooting after what you do.

Its included in the FR rom already I never used any of the extras. But we can't really offer help if we don't know what's going on. If its not a flex reaper or Acer based rom, like cm9, it probably won't work, some of the apps are tied into the framework, like the ring, and won't work without the framework.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Which is better is subjective. To me it sounds like you'll like this a little better. It works with all Acer apps and is very stable and pretty slick. CM9 doesn't support some of the Acer apps and is still getting bugs worked out.

I would suggest making a backup of your cm9 and give flex a try, its worth it. I ran it always until I started the cm9 nightlies.
