i had major issues like this on my win7 64bit rig. driver issues galore...i had to force adb device driver and a few others...it cobstantly insisted the a500 driver was correct....stupid m$.

Thing is, up until I flashed the FlexRom, the ADB USB function worked perfectly fine, even in the OTA ICS update.

(I did run the OTA update for a few hours before I flashed it to FlexRom.)

In this case, since the FlexRom install, it first stated that it was looking for the A500 drivers, which it did once, and now it looks for the MTP USB drivers.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] masr1979:
Did you get ADB to connect? if not, the only way I have been able to get it to recognize the tab in ADB is to force the driver through Device Manager.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] antiwesley:
After some suggestion, I finally got a factory/'hard' reset to take.

I'm back in, and have adb access again.

I honestly don't know what caused the USB connection to go south when I installed the FlexRom, as it's beyond my capability to diagnose.

I have a working tab again, so outside of re-rooting, I'm going to to hold off until this can be better diagnosed by those in the know.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Understandable that you would want to take a step back and figure out what happened. Sounds like a good idea, no reason to rush into anything.

I have been able to access my A100 via adb with flexreaper installed, no issues at all. However I am using Linux with the actual Android SDK installed and configured. Based on that I would say the issue you are running into with the USB had to do with the drivers in some or it could be the adb version inside the easy root I guess too. I'm using Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29.(you can type "adb --version" in your cmd window to get the version).

IIRC I recently read that ICS is a little different in the latest adb then HC was though. I think it was Eew245 talking about being able to use dd via adb to make backups without needing to be rooted, which wasn't doable in HC. I suppose that kinda of change "could" cause new issues with old USB drivers, etc. *shrug* We should take this to a new thread though since it doesnt seem related to the Flexreaper ROM.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rrileyyjacobb:
is there really no other way to flash this to the a100? i'm having trouble flashing the recovery image. i do have full root access on the stock ICS ROM.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ptesmoke:
and did u unlock the bootloader? if not...recovery wont flash my friend. read my cwm thread carefully.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
I'm not exactly sure what ya mean, but you will want to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery before you try flashing any Custom ROMs. Otherwise you are asking for trouble IMO.

My signature has a link for "Help". That link explains allot more, and has links to all the various posts that guide you through from stock to Custom ROM. Once you get CWM installed you can just place the .zip in an SD card or even push it to internal SD, and then just use the CWM mod menu to locate the zip and have it install it. Just make sure the ROM you install doesnt have a recovery or bootloader.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rrileyyjacobb:
i tried unlocking the bootloader. when i got to the screen that had two icons and i had to choose the unlock icon using the volume keys, it says "user connection timed out" or something like that and it wouldn't let me do anything.'

Edit: When i get to the unlock bootloader screen (with the two icons), i hit the volume down button and it says "Fastboot: Cancelled by user or timeout"

Edit 2: i'm stupid. i didn't see it say that the volume down button was the one on the left.... -____- sorry guys.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] noeybou:
Quick question...

Does this ROM has international languages?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rrileyyjacobb:
its a rebuild off of the stock ROM, so yes i'm pretty sure it does.

Thanks...

I'm a noob with the Android system.. is it hard to go from a Stock HC to this ROM?

I need to root my HC first in order to flash this ROM right? :confused:

Could any of u give me some directions on flashing this? i'm tired of waiting the official ICS OTA...

Great Rom, I do have one cosmetic issue that I've noticed.

The Acer ring button in the middle seems to close to the menu/options button. Sometimes I hit the options button and the Acer ring pops up. You have to click more on the blank area between the task switcher and the menu/options button.

I forgot to mention this is in portrait mode.

hi civato, just wondering if you can modified the kernel to activate the deep sleep. just a thought.

thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Not touching power settings , had enough SoD problems on A500.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
possibly a dumb question but do you think its possible to somehow get the a100 to support usb host? I know it would require a powered hub but since you own a a500 would the kernal info be close to the same for host?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
System/app delete it there.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
Boot.img patched for full root.

Make sure the tablet isn't rooted .

Can someone test this boot.img , it's patched and tweaked for faster quadrant benchmarks but more important patched so there is no RW protection.

Meaning, just install SuperUser and you got root , no need to run the "easy root tool"

Flash with cwm

I also put the stock kernel in there.

If it works no need to run easy root tool and to unroot just flash the stock boot.img , should be that easy.

Flash right after installation of rom.

Please let me know.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Does the SD Swap Mod work with this? Or could someone create an init.d script that just rebounds the mount points?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
I'll mess with em later/soon as I'm able and let ya know;)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
SD swap mod is working perfectly on this rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Really, that's great. Do I just put the install_recovery.sh file in the /etc folder? I noticed there isn't one in there already.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] cheeb:
....................................................................................yes.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
A man of wisdom right here.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
.......................................................................he is. LOL

In other news it worked perfectly. Thanks! The name of the file "install_recovery" made me nervous. I don't think the original one does anything though.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] .Gibson.:
The original install-recovery restores the original recovery when the tablet has been put through a restart. You can see then why Civato removes it from his rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
First of all, this ROM is the bomb. Thanks so much for all the work putting into this. I couldn't wait any longer for the official OTA ICS update from Acer so I flashed the leaked ICS but that didn't fix the touchscreen issue so I flashed this ROM. Everything is working perfectly. I did flashed the unsecured boot.img to get full S-Off root access to update system files since AdAway couldn't update the hosts file.

Now my only issue is I cannot use the Wifi tethered from my phone. It connects and gets an IP but cannot access the internet. It worked fine with the original leaked ICS. Anyone has any idea what I need to do to be able to use my phone's tethered Wifi?

EDITED: sorry, false alarm. It was my phone's fault. My laptop couldn't use the tethered connection either. Somehow the DNS wasn't working. I changed the tablet to use Google's public DNS and it worked like a charm.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
It's working for me and actually i use it often.But i'm with the stock boot.img re-rooted.

I will unroot and will flash unsecured boot.img to test it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tony_2018:
Crap so I'm fully rooted, I can't use this rom?:confused:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] zleto:
niteh@wk.It's working perfectly.May be the problem it's in the settings of your thethered connection.

tony_2018No civato just eliminate the re-root operation with this boot.img, which is need to be done with the stock one.

Great job civato! It's working perfectly. I reflashed the ROM and aplied unsecured boot.img everything's working like it should.

And one question.I'm trying to add aditional languages to the UI. I recompiled framework-res and push it back to the tablet but it's not working like i want.That what i recieve is patrial translation (all google apps are translated) but most of the elements of UI are still on english.What else i should do to make it translate everything like the other languages included like French or Russian?

Or evrything should be build from source?

I don't know. If someone can point me to something I'll be grateful!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] civato:
It's not only framework , I will try to build a custom new release with more languages in.And the new acer iCS keyboard with special signs.

Also the full root kernel will be build in.

Will try to make it the following days.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] reaverclan:

Flashing this ROM

Is there not another way to flash this ROM? I am rooted with superuser, though not sure how to use all of it. I also have Titanium Backup, and ES File Explorer. However, all of my computers are 64bit and I am having problems with cwm, not sure if 1 has to do with the other. Is there not a way just to save it to a sd card and rename it like all the rest of the ROM's? I want the Acer ring and all of the other good stuff not included with the leaked ICS.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] utctigers:
I think CWM(unless there is some other recovery other than stock) is the only way as of now to flash a rom. Are you running the ICS Leak?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wchildress:
Yes, I am running the leaked ROM found on this site. I have tried to get CWM to work but have had nothing but problems.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Do you have an unlocked bootloader?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wchildress:
I think so, how is there an easy way to check?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
When you reboot your tab you should see a messed up Acer screen with text at the top. But if you doubt you have an unlocked bootloader I'm guessing you don't.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wchildress:
It is unlocked now, I guess I missed a step. I am still not sure how to get CWM on it. And then I am not familiar with how to flash ROMs by using a backup.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
You need to read a lot more. Download this rom to your internal memory.

1) Read and follow the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601663

It's super easy and should not take more than a minute to install.

2) After that reboot into recovery using an app from the market called quickboot.

3) [IN RECOVERY] Using Volume Up and Down to move and power button to select the item you want to do:

****Before anything make a nandroid backup. It's under backup and restore.

First, Wipe data/factory reset

Second, wipe cache partition

Third, go to advance and wipe dalvik cache

Fourth, go back and then choose install zip from sd card.

Fifth, choose zip for sd card.

Sixth, navagate to where you saved this rom and select it. NOW Flash.​

*note the instructions say to format but from my experience you don't have to format anything.

There those are the instructions. I recommend looking through recovery and getting yourself familiar with the options in the menus. I tmay look like a lot but it is really quite simple. And once you know how to flash ROMs, it'll take less than a minute to flash a new one.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wchildress:
I have flashed ROMs many times before, I have just always done it from saving to an sd card and renaming it, then booting into recovery and the tablet would take care of the rest. I want this ROM and it doesn't seem that simple. I assume this way you loose all info? And I cannot find Nandroid Backup anywhere...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
You do have ClockworkMod Recovery installed right? Backup should be as clear as day. Not sure if it says '"nandroid" though. Just do a full backup. And it's really easy if you have everything setup. And yes you do lose everything. For me it's not a problem cause nothing is really stored on my tab other than app data. Everything is in the cloud.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wchildress:
Now using TWRP, a touch controlled recovery program. I do not have a lot of programs, or info I am worried about loosing. However I am using Titanium Backup Pro. I think that should cover me. Anyway, wish me luck, I'm gonna try it anyway, what's the worst that could happen? I'll end up with a paperweight and a lesson learned.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I had other Android tabs but I am new to A100.

Now I want to use this ROM but I understand from the instructions that CWM is required to use it. However, I don't know how to get CWM on A100.

Can anyone point me to the correct thread ?

I've just found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601663

But it requires an ICS leak with root.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Xenolance:
You are going to need to go back to the Dev section and READ. There is a guide on rooting HC (3.2), it's a bit technical but follow instructions and you'll be fine. Then flash the Leaked ICS and then follow the root you found there.

Starting here is the best bet if you are on Honeycomb:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22001107&postcount=203

Then go here and it'll guide you the rest of the way:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mrmrmrmr:
Thanks but I already installed leaked ICS. I have rooted it and unloacked the bootloader.

Then I installed the recovery.img as decribed (CWM 5.5.0.4)

but I can't get in to CWM recovery. What is the correct way to go into cwm ?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Xenolance:
Ok, using root explorer go to /etc/ and mount as RW, Rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak

Then follow the instructions again to get it to put recovery on there

adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Use an app like Quickboot from the market and select recovery and it should take you there. Alternatively hold the Volume DOWN while it's turned off and then hold power, it should boot to recovery. Remove the update.zip from the root of your SD card or you run the risk of re-flashing the OTA if you hold the wrong volume key.

Hi everyone.

I flashed this final version over the old flexreaper one. I did wipe, format and data factory restore like the first post says.

Now I have a sort of big problem (see attachment)

the rom is new (i installed no apps) but it says i have less free space then i should! how can i fix this?

thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Check you SD card (internal memory). It doesn't get wiped unless you do it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
Do you mean wiping it from cmw recovery? can i erase everything in it without bricking or damaging the recovery/unlocked bootloader?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
The internal SD card doesn't get erased if you do a factory reset. Only the /data folder which contains user apps. Some other things get erased to but everything that was on the SD card should still be there. That's why you have you memory being taken.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
what are the correct steps to do that?

(sorry for my huge noobness =) )
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Using Es file manager, which is already installed, look through /sdcard and delete the files you don't need or at the storage screen you were at you can click on Vari and it will show you what is taking memory and you can select and delete from there. ALSO click on download and delete from there too.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
sorry man but thats not the problem!

if you do:

5.36GB -

36.48MB-

1.24GB= almost 3,9GB

BUT the tablet says 1.06 GB! It's like the tablet cant read all the space!

How is it possible? I deleted almost everything but the Free Space is still wrong!

Is there a way to reset the tablet memory?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
Actually what's interesting is even though it says 1.06 free the bar at the top show that More than half is free. It looks like a bug. In es file manager does it say how much is free? I use root explorer and it says at the top how much is free. Also download some sort of SD memory app viewer to see in more detail.

EDIT: Do a reboot to see if it fixes itself. Also, it is almost 4 am where I am so I'm gonna go to sleep now. Goodluck.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] icomar:
Man your help was much appreciated! I fixed it!

The problem was a folder called "Android" wich was not visible from the memory screen, nor it appeared in Other Files. It was somehow invisible and was like 2.7GB big! When I found this, I deleted it with ES and now everything is ok.

Still I dont know this problem appeared after flashing this rom, maybe coincidence!

Thx again for help, take a rest! =)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I think you just happened to notice it after flashing. Android/data is where alot of apps keep their data so it adds up over time, more apps bigger folder. Also I've noticed uninstalling apps doesn't always reclaim that space and leaves their folders there, so you could have stuff from apps you haven't had installed for a year in there.

No , framework is modded for that and changing resource is the problem causing that.

It wasn't a problem on HC but on ICS it is.

If I don't have to change text color I don't need to change resource.
