Nope.

I ported a rom from gio.

The only thing that doesnt work is RIL.

And thats a huge problem. I tried to fix, but only get it awork partly.

Wich files are for RIL?

Sent from my sending thing..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
RIL files are the ones in framework.jar (for example, in CM9, AOKP and CM10 there is the older TassRIL and the newer JellaxyRIL from TheWhisp), they need to be built from source, otherwise you can try to extract the smali files (using baksmali) from another working ROM, paste them and recompile using smali, not sure through if that will work.

for network its mostly based on libsecril.so and rill.class.telephony like from system.prop if ur changing the system.prop of your ROM.... and for bluetooth it depends upon the bcm drivers
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faye2040:
If one Android device is configured to use VPN by its own wireless network. And then if we turn on the Wifi hotspot AP (tethering) of that Android device.

Now if Kindle Fire can hook that Android device as Wifi AP, can then Kindle Fire use the VPN as well?

Thanks for any useful clue
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharrisct25:
In theory yes

However i have yet to find apps that allow that to happen in practice. The issue is the routing from the private ip range that the tethering app will provider to your connected guests to the address your phone has been assinged by the VPN.

I have tried a number of applications such as barnacle, foxfi, and the built in android tether in conjunciton with both a SSL and L2TP vpn and not had any luck getting it working yet.

If you find out how I would love to know also. Would be very handy for traveling with the kids and wife etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] documentaryman:
If you did get it where are you and which gen?
[Acer Iconia A500] spud357c:
Gave up waiting so downloaded and installed the OTA that is posted here - install went perfectly and everything works.
[Acer Iconia A500] groaner:
Nothing yet. Keep getting wifi network failure error as noted on the acertabletforum.com forum. Hoping acer will fix this. I'd like to see the tablet work as intended. If I have to force the updates again like I did for 3.2 ill be pissed .
[Acer Iconia A500] documentaryman:
Yeah, it's tempting but I'll wait for a while. So far 21 views for this thread and no one's said "I got the OTA." It looks like it's not rolling out here yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] CDN-Emjay:
Nada for Alberta...

I've been hitting "System update" every hour on the hour since midday Thursday. Nothing where I am in Alberta. I've seen some conflicting messaging on when Canada will be getting the OTA. The Acer site says 04-27, I've seen elsewhere 05-03.

I'm itching to get on with it. Downloading the posted update.zip on XDA now. Still haven't decided if I am going to use it.

And to keep the focus on the OP, if anyone has received the OTA please share the GEN. I'm assuming it's the same one posted, but ya never know.
[Acer Iconia A500] CyaN1de:
Got it on wifes tab yesterday here in BC. GEN_1

Had to get update to Iconia Tab Update tool to see the upgrade.
[Acer Iconia A500] documentaryman:
I've had the same update utility installed for a month. It's brought no joy in Toronto.
[Acer Iconia A500] bungaboy:
Same here in Nova Scotia.
[Acer Iconia A500] dave_w_h:
Things have changed

I have recently hit the update tab and I am no longer getting the wifi message... now back to "your up to date" ... with no ICS ... I think it will be here soon... or maybe I am just an optomist
[Acer Iconia A500] tc80tc80:
This is very odd since I am in Halifax and got my OTA on the 27th. I had stock 3.2.1 rooted (had to remove root or the install failed).

Before build: Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2

After build: Acer_AV041_A500_1.0333.00_PA_CUS1

When you eventually get the upgrade, you get an offer to "install now" or "install later". Choose the "install later" option or when your root causes the install to fail you will have to re-download the 400mb file again.

BTW, this combination listed above has none of the bugs or issues listed in other OTA release upgrade threads.

[Acer Iconia A500] bungaboy:
My current build: Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1

I am wondering if because your's was 02_COM_GEN_2 that is why you got the update and I haven't? I am also in Nova Scotia.
[Acer Iconia A500] documentaryman:
Well, this evening I pulled the trigger on Update.zip with my stock unrooted rom. It went flawlessly and al my dozens of apps seem to be functional. It's much more zippy and responsive than HC. I'm impressed.
[Acer Iconia A500] diiorio:
There using 1 server to distribute. So expect throttling for a bit. The US ones are still going strong, know several who are getting the updates fine.

Best they do this to avoid corrupted data in updates. Otherwise more peopel need to distribute the offcial regional builds.

DOn't want a HTC repeat of an issue where phones ended up bricked.
[Acer Iconia A500] bungaboy:
5 days of waiting. . . . . .
[Acer Iconia A500] ciphan:
I also have a GEN1 A500 from Canada, specifically build Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1 and I got impatient waiting for the OTA update so I installed the Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1 update from the bottom of the first post on this page. I had no problems at all completeling the update and everything seems to be working fine with ICS.

The Op is actually linking straight to Acer's official update server with the ICS links in that post. Remember that if you choose to download these official ROM's you'll need to decrypt the downloaded zip file with the tool mentioned at the top of the first post and follow the rest of the instructions in the How to use full/update package in that first post as well.

If you stick it out and wait for the OTA I am curious as to what build you finally end up with. My build after the update above is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Acer Chat @ 4:55pm (Atlantic)

Acer: Hi, my name is ****** *********. How may I help you?

Me: Hi, I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and was wondering when the update to Ice Cream Sandwich would be available to me? I'm still unable to download it.

Acer: I understand that you are unable to get the ICS update on your tablet.

Acer: Let me see what best can be done for you.

Me: Thanks!

Acer: You are welcome, ******.

Acer: May I have the serial number?

Me: Where do I find that information?

Acer: Please click on the below link to get the serial number.

Acer: URL

Me: Oh, the SNID. I didn't realize they were the same thing since I included it in the information before I requested the chat. Sorry!

Me: The number is: **********

Acer: Thank you, ******.

Acer: ******, this is to inform you that the update for the ICS is available and is being released in batches, we recommend you to keep the automatic update enabled through Apps > Settings > About Tablet > System Update > Check the box for “Automatically check for system updates”. This will help the tablet detect an update as soon as it’s available for your product. This update will be available for all the A500 tablets.

Me: Thank you! I will keep automatic update on. In the FAQ's, it mentions being rolled out over the period of a week. Should I receive it today at some point in that case?

Acer: You are welcome, ******.

Acer: You will get the update soon.

Me: Ok great, thank you very much!

Acer: We are unable to provide you the estimated time.

Acer: You are welcome.

Updated to Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 a few days back and now notice that Acer Sync no longer works with my A500.

Now I'm stuck having to sync files manually between my A500 and PC. :confused::mad::mad:

Can anyone suggest another app that'll sync files such as Excel, Word, PDF, etc.?
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
This is a litte late to post now, but, I got mine back on the 14th, ready first thing in the morning. Updated, tab said update done, (went real fast) checked version (cause everything still looked the same to me) still 3.2.1 HC. Re-booted, still 3.2.1. Updated again, second update was way bigger size, rebooted, ICS now. Lots of ppl complaining about slower wifi, mine got better ( a lot better) I had to uninstall & re-install several apps to get them to work right. Can't seem to figure out how to make the default browser bookmarks to show up as text links instead of icons (or tiles or whatever you want to call them) All in all, the only improvement I noticed was better wifi (which I am quite happy with) but a lot of other things became less functional.
[Droid X General] aryehzev:
Now I'm on miui v4, and when I tried flashing to cm7 I got this error "Run Program: assert_failed (tmp/kernel/...) I don't remember the exact words but that's kind of what it was, so is there any way I can get to cm7 with out SBF?

Thanks.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
You should just have to wipe system/data/cache/dalvik, then be able to flash the rom.

It's odd that you're getting an error. Perform the step above and try again.
[Droid X General] aryehzev:
I did that i still get that error the second i click yes before it even does anything

Are you attempting to flash the Cm7 nightlies that still run on the Froyo kernel?

[Acer Iconia A500] tonyblack:
Would be interested to know if anyone else has come across this. After upgrading from 3.2 to 4.0.3 my A500 will no longer see WiFi networks that are running on Channel 12 or higher. My router was set to use 12 prior to the update and after updating I couldn't find my WiFi network so changed to channel 11 and bingo, there it was. Have subsequently tried 12 & 13 and the A500 will not see these channels. Any channel below 12 is fine. Weird!:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] branstonmedia:
have you downloaded the I cs update via a link or is it ota, if downloaded it could have set your tab up to US setting for wifi as around the world many area only use limited channels ie up to 11 not the extra ones up to 13.

I'm sure there is a way to change this setting but can't remember at this moment were it is.
[Acer Iconia A500] tonyblack:
enabling wifi channels 12-13

Does anyone know of a method of manually enabling wifi channels 12-13?:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] Rusty!:
I take it you downloaded it from here rather than getting it OTA?

If so, then what you've done is install the American version, which won't do wifi above 11 due to their regulatory domain. You can get the European update here: http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&file=151
[Acer Iconia A500] tonyblack:
Mucho grasias. Got my channel 12 wifi back now :)
[Acer Iconia A500] japinder:
But isn't it a leak uploaded in March, instead of the official OTA which was released just a few days back? :(

This has a version number of 1.031 while the latest official OTA version is 1.033. :confused:

Or is it that we only have an US OTA & no European/Worldwide OTA yet so you recommended the leak as the solution.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rusty!:
It is, but someone in the UK got it sent OTA, so it looks like they decided to use it.
[Acer Iconia A500] blueis300:
OK well my question is then can I install the non US version on my US tab? My router using dd-wrt can use those channels and they work for me but the tab doesn't seen some channels that work for laptop.
[Acer Iconia A500] Rusty!:
Since you can overwrite the US version with it, I'd say yes. It helps that the zips are full ROMs not patches.
[Acer Iconia A500] tonyblack:
Just to confirm that, I originally downloaded and flashed the US ICS upgrade (1.033.00) and then in order to regain wifi channels 12-13 I flashed the EU ICS upgrade (1.031.00) straight over it with no issues. then proceeded to root it and get the Acer Ring (partial) using Blackthunder v6.
[Acer Iconia A500] leebag:
Did you just change the downloaded file and change the file name to update.zip and then flashed and rooted?
[Acer Iconia A500] tonyblack:
Correct.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vientito:
Hello

I have spent sometime going through some past articles on partitioning. There are still questions in my mind. I hope someone could help me clear up this.

I gather it's good to have an external partition where it is used to store apps and cache. It is stated that optimal size for it is abut 512mb - 1G as ext3/4.

Is there in fact reason to stop me from converting the whole SD to ext3/4 and get rid of fat32 altogether? I am linux based and I really don't care much about visibility of files at all. It seems that the current ROM works with 2 partitions: one fat32 and the other as ext3/4 and we typically allot a lot more for fat32. What's the primary reason behind this decision? Would there be some system stuffs that rely on fat32 to function?

As far as sizing is concerned, I would like to have some real reasons why things have to be arranged this way (with fat32 as a dominant partner) instead of going all the way to ext4
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
Even if You will format Your sd-card using Your phone You will see, that it will be FAT partition as well. So it's basic partition which android use to save photos, movies and all apps keep their data folders (f.ex. sms backups, apps backups etc). Ext partition is also not recognized by PC with Windows, so there isn't any way to use it as a storage device. And I think that similar is with android - I don't think if f.ex. music player will recognize Your music files on ext partition. But it's just my opinion and I may be wrog.

This noob doesn't even know how to check for his CID number. He shouldn't even be flashing ROMS, especially since he can't even read that this is the developer forums, so he can't read the directions on how to read a flash a rom.

Also to the illiterate noob who can't read, maybe you can hear, so hear this
