[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
U cannot just flash an updat.zip...it's a compete upgrade from hc to ics.

At least being on hc getting yr cpuid is easy Peasy....

So get that now, b4 doing anything else...

If u have it...and u don't understand my guides...

then check out civato's guide to unlocking the bootloader..

EVERYTHING YOU NEED is in his guide IF THE D/L Links still work...

If u think the instructions are complicated and confusing...wait till u get to the process itself...

You could just go for a rooted HC, with custom recovery...using tdv4.zip

The process is very similar to unlocking the bootloader...

but again, to get ics on there from tdv4..an updat.zip will not work

And I haven't touched on drivers yet....without them neither process will work...

Got a vista or win 7 machine lying around?? It will be perfect for this!!

Then adb must be installed...

If that's setup correctly...u can go ahead with tdv4 or an upgrade process...

But it's still not over yet...

If the process stalls or freezes at any point...

Chances are yr tab is one of those with a faulty memory chip..if it is...then nothing will ever get u an upgrade...u may be lucky to be left with HC...but maybe not...

Now u can see why I said to just go buy a cheapy tab....way less stressful, time consuming and u will have something that actually "works"..

Good luck in woteva u decide to do...

But I can help no further

Every question about the a500is answered in either the guides or in these pages...

And I mean everything...with the time I spent with th Acer and on here on the forums..

...the answers are all here

618/5000

I am eduardo from chile, I have a acer a500, I have tried by all means to walk this tablet, and I could not, the truth that I understand very little, but of everything I have read here. download an application called EUUS which apparently works but asks me the CPUid. I have used the usbdeview application which gives me the next mu, ero. 12301806715. that same number is pasted on a label that the tablet brings. If I put that code in the EUUA application, I get the error CPU ID is bad format. I have added more space x0. and I can not move forward. someone could help me by teamviewer.

Hi,i've downloaded the three dot mode from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25063642&postcount=279

The problem is that it isn't working,phone just stucks at the logo(HTC ONE).Is that only made for 1.28?I have 1.26.Can someone please give me the 1.26?

Or else,can anybody tell me how to upgrade from 1.26 to 1.28?

PS:I have stock rom,only CWM and unlocked bootloader (from htcdev).
[HTC One X] stiffmast3r:
maybe this mod is only available for 1.28.

i think you have to wait for an OTA to 1.28, or flash a rom with this number?
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Yeah,i've seen a lot of custom ROM's out there for One X but i want to stay as stock as possible and this is the only thing i hate at this phone,the three dots are realy annoying.

Yesterday i've downloaded the MILocker.The app is verry great but the three dots apear on the lockscreen and kinda spoils the whole aspect if you know what i mean.

Are there so many diferences between 1.26 and 1.28?
[HTC One X] stiffmast3r:
i found this, but idk if this helps you :P

[HTC One X] jeyml:
I saw that post but honestly i have no ideea what that means.This is my first Android phone and i'm kinda scared not to do anything stupid to it and brick it or something worse.And i've allready unlocked my bootloader and my CID is none...
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
The three dots mod is available for 1.26 but only for deodexed roms as far as I can see, if you upgrade to 1.28 you'll be able to use it on the stock odexed rom.

If you made a backup in recovery you can restore that to get out of the HTC splash screen, if you don't have a backup then run an applicable RUU to return your firmware to stock.

There are several custom roms available that don't look cosmetically different to the stock rom but will allow you to install the 3 dots mod. You could give those a go if you want, eg Android Revolution HD.
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
edit: removed
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
They're only for deodexed roms, they won't work on the stock rom.
[HTC One X] hopscotchjunkie:
Yeah I know, you quoted me in the seconds between me posting that and realising and removing it. Too quick off the draw.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
I didn't had any problems restoring.I've made a nanodroid backup the second i've installed the CWM.Because it's my first time with an Android phone i've made a lot of backups,and daily i am making a backup in Titanium.

Well the post sayd for stock roms(1.26,1.28),but so far for me doesn't work.

Hoping an experienced guy from the forum does a three dot removal for stock roms 1.26.
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
That odexed version is for 1.28 only. You should get an OTA which will allow you to update to 1.28 and then you'll be able to install the 3 dots mod.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Ok,sorry if i apear to be an idiot(witch i am),but what does OTA means? :)
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
It stands for "over the air", it's basically an update package you can download and install. If you go to settings and check for updates it may give you the option to update to 1.28, it depends on whether or not it's been made available for your carrier/region yet.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Oww i understand now.Yes i have a notification witch tells me i can update but i don't know if it's 1.28 and i didn't update because i'm afraid to lose my root.If i update i will have to flash the supersu again for the 1.28 i presume?
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
That should be the 1.28 OTA, you shouldn't lose root but if you do you can just re-root it again with the same instructions. After you install the update you should be able to install the 3 dots mod (check your version number first though).
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Ok,just gave the phone to update.After i update i will make a new nanodroid backup and then i will check if i have the root,if not...well...i will have to do the whole process again.I will post soon.Thank you all for helping a noob like me.

EDIT:After download i gave it to update,phone restarted an then it gives me an error:

E:unnkwown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD: Download/OTA_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.28.301.9-1.26.401.2_release_256505w0tk6eiq8g74y4vb.zip]

E:Can't mount (that thing that says upwards)

Installation aborted.

Positive side: I know it's 1.28 update :)

What do i have to do?
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
You need the stock recovery to run the OTA. Hook your phone up to your pc and boot it into fastboot mode like you did when you were rooting it. Download this file: http://www.androidrevolution.nl/ARHD/OneX/Recovery/endeavoru_recovery_signed.img and place it in the same directory as your fastboot exe then navigate to that dir in cmd prompt and enter the command:

fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img

After that try running the OTA again and it should succeed, then you can reflash CWM.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Ok,i understood.After that is this CWM good?

recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img

It's the same i've used the first time i've unlocked my bootloader.
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
You should flash the latest version of CWM:

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img

It has a few bug fixes and allows you to charge the device whilst it's off
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Done with the endeavoru_recovery_signed.img.I am now trying to update,i will edit as i do the steps you told me.

Ok,the update has started,so far so good.

Update finished,now optimizing the applications step.After this i will flash the new CWM,hope it works.

Flashed the CWM,now waiting to power up and check up if i have the root.

I don't have root acces :((((.Is this file good: CWM-SuperSU-v0.88.zip?
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
Yep that should do it, after that make a backup and then try the 3 dots mod again.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Ok,installed it,now waiting to reebot,test the root,do a nanodroid backup and then i will try the three dot :D.

EDIT: Perfect :D,the root works,now doing backup.

EDIT: Backup done,now copying the files for three dot removal.

IT IS WORKIING.Thank you so much roger for your help,now it looks absoluthly amazing :D:D,thank you again,i can't express how much i thank you.I will post a screenshot with the lockscreen now(just installed MILocker to test it out).

Also,i'm not sure if its me or after this update the phone is smoother?I mean,even the lockscreen apears to be much smoother.
[HTC One X] rogersnm:
Good to know you got it working :). The update comes with a number of bug fixes and performance improvements so everything should be a bit smoother :).
[HTC One X] jeyml:
Yeah its a difference.Before the update MIlocker lockscreen was verry laggy,now its working perfectly,not a single lag.

[HTC Rezound] x70xchallengerx:
Quick question folks, and before I get obliterated for posting this:

YES I did search the official "Newts One XxX Sense 4/ICS" thread before asking this, I also read through about 40 pages (even though there's 300+) and couldn't find an answer...

I would like to know if anyone has had any luck flashing faster / better kernels to the RC2.1 ver of Newts One XxX rom...

The one that comes with it is okay, battery life is (well we all know what to expect, really) and its not the smoothest as far as performance goes.

I tried flashing Sebastian's OC (1.86ghz) kernel, and I got as far as rebooting to hboot after flash, and when I proceeded with the PH98IMG.zip automatic install and it just tells me (main ver too old error) even though I flashed the Con main ver fix script before hand :/

At this point it broke root for me... -____- so I had to reflash the boot.img and use the root fix I found searching the thread and now I've got root again but... Like I said, I just wanna know if any other kernels are compatible.

Thanks guys and gals!

EDIT: Also, as long as anyone reads this, is there any way to increase the notif volume? I have mine up to the last notch before max, and I can only just barely hear it when the TV is on lol... The vibrate is louder to be honest..

The ringing volume seems okay to me but.. idk. Anyone else think the notification volume is a tad quiet?

Of course you should. Root gives you admin access to your phone. Do you own a computer and not have full admin access? Same situation.

Its up to what you can imagine and you can change it with root. Tweaks, theme status bar, system folder access, hide nav buttons, on and on.

The *only* reason I root is to install an ad blocker. The only reason I install custom ROMs is to get rid of bloatware. So for this phone, I rooted it almost immediately, but am still on stock ROM (Thanks, Google!)

Other people will give you other reasons why to root, but it'll all boil down to "I desperately want to [activity] but I can't if it's not rooted." If you have something like that, by all means root. Otherwise, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bacon_n_icecream:
I just installed the new Siyah 3.2b1 kernel to run my ShoStock 2.2.2 ROM last night and everything was working fine. I didn't make many changes other than switching the governor to lulzactive and the i/o scheduler to noop.

It was running fine over night (lost 0% battery).

Then today after I used the phone for a few minutes the battery seemed to drain a little quicker. I know its too early to complain about battery life but I decided to investigate. When I checked cpuSpy it showed that all of the frequencies were barely used (mostly spent in deep sleep over night) but the 1200 mhz frequency was used most after that (significantly more than the others). When I went back into voltage control (same thing with setcpu) I noticed that it seemed to be stuck at 1200 mhz. The only thing that fixed it was changing the governor.

Does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it (I had great battery performance on lulzactive before so would like to use it again)?

CPU related as well...

Hi Guys,

My first post here. I am total noob. I rooted and installed the newest ShoStock2 on my at&t galaxy s2. Everything works perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I also went bought the setCPU for overclocking it. That too seem to be working fine.

My question is. I didn't set up any voltage requirements. The only thing I did was to set it to 1600 MHZ and 200 min and change the governor on the bottom to Lulzcrative. Will this work? Do I need to actually do something with the voltage? am I really on 1600 right now? I cannot tell.

I ran a quad test (I now it is meaningless in real world) it came 2818 yesterday. I ran it again this morning ..... It froze and took my battery from 45 to 9 in less than 3 mins!!!!!! The phone got really hot. I took out the battery right of way. The battery life showed 23 percent this time.

I got little afraid of the quadrant testing :) ... The phone seems to run good without that but I am not sure if it is set up how it is suppose to.

Could someone help me out please? I tried reading the forums and that is where I got the idea in the first place to overclock it. :)

So to summarize it, I guess phone is fine right now but I am not sure if I set up setcpu out properly.

I am on the newest shostock2. I have galaxy s2 on att. I am pretty good with computers and phones but not sure about voltage and other problems with relating to setCPU.

Thank you advance for helping me out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Winklie:
Lots of questions there. Phone overclocking is the same and at the same time different than PC overclocking. I too bought SetCPU and due to bugs and problems have completely abandoned it. Honestly with the exception of running an epeen benchmark there is little incentive to overclock. Find a newer Kernel (I use NEAK which has no overclocking ability) and install it, performance is stellar. You really have to ask yourself, is my phone slow enough that I need more CPU power to make it faster?

To see what time your CPU is spending at a given clock speed, download CPUSpyhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd, you will be surprised to see your phone spend very little time at it's max clockspeed.

Due to the immaturity of the fab process for our CPU's (well SoC), what is a stable overclock for one person might not even load for another. These CPU's are not like an Intel Sandy Bridge, with 1Ghz of free overclocking, nearly guaranteed. You can certainly play with voltages to try and attain a higher overclock, but at the expense of CPU lifetime, as well as battery.

Additionally, it takes a new Kernel 3 or so full charge, discharge cycles on a phone to really 'settle in' and 'learn' a particular phones battery, while yours got hot, which to me indicates an endless loop of some kind running in the background.

My advice would be as follows: Choose a ROM you like, feel free to play with different Kernels, again, I use NEAK, which does not work for some folks, or crashes or whatever. Give it several days to 'settle in' and if your still not happy with performance or have stability problems, try a different governor/scheduler. You really need to establish a good, solid baseline of your phones performance and make small changes and give them long enough to establish any changes to your phones overall stability. Basically running cowboy through your phone and making changes will have a negative overall outcome. Make small, documented changes, test and see what overall effect this has to your phone's stability and battery life, and make another change.

I'm just going off what I've seen in the Siyah/NEAK threads. Most of the lock-ups/random reboots I've heard people having had used the cleaning script. Either that or its just coincidence.
