after few hours i am now getting com.android.phone process force close and after that the tablet reboot and again i have the same problem, again and again.

I have re-installed the rom formatting system, data, cache, flexrom, dalvik but still teh same problem.

Any idea??
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Have you deleted/removed any system files? (or some you thought weren't)

Are you restoring things from a prior Titanium backup?

Installed a suspicious utility app? (even some live wallpaper can cause this)

Generally the above 3 are the prime culprits.

The only way to really diagnose your stated error, is to run a logcat file through either ADB (from the android SDK), or from "terminal" app which comes with the rom. You will find terminal in your applications.

When the error occurs, logcat will more or less tell you which app/module caused it. The only thing, you have to be watching it when it happens, or have logcat generate a txt file.

In your case, you said it took some hours which is strange, as usually com.process errors happen a whole lot earlier, generally within 5-10 minutes or so. At least in my testing experience anyhow.

If you want to generate a logcat file from your terminal app on the tablet, boot the tab. Start the "terminal" app. Then enter;

logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

remember to put a space before and after ">". This should create a logcat file on your internal memory when the error happens and the tab reboots (or you close the terminal app). It will continue creating the file, as long as the tab (or app) is running though, so if you can get the problem to happen sooner than 4 hrs, it is greatly appreciated. ;) As a 4hr logcat is a whopper!

If you just want to connect to your pc and watch logcat run, then (hopefully you have the android SDK installed on your pc), go to C:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools and open a command window there.

type in the window;

adb devices

(make sure your device is connected)

then;

adb logcat

You'll be able to see all the processes running, even when you do things on your tablet. Kinda cool. This is how we troubleshoot issues.

Need some more help, let me know.

MD

EDIT: I'm going to point a finger at an installed app for now. Just a hunch. Whatever it is, is set to run after 3 or 4 hours. Like some sort of update. So I would be looking at that right now. Might be exchange server, or some widget update.
[Acer Iconia A500] v11lemans:

thanks for your quick replay. I did not install any additional app as system app but i do restored my titanium back-up.

I said the error is appened after few hours simply because i installed everithing and left the tablet while i was doing something else. It may be i discovered the error later but was still there and the tablet rebooted several time when was not used.

So i will perfom now a fresh install and run alogcat. I suppose i can run the alogcat app to have the same txt.

V11
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Pretty sure the alogcat app will work. Never used it, but you can check. Am sure will be fine.

Personally, in your case, I would just play around with the rom for awhile, before restoring anything from Titanium. Run the apps, maybe download some apps fresh from the market. If it's going to error, it will usually do so within the first 15 minutes or so.

Then, do your restore from TB, but I would do it 1 app at a time. And make sure you're not restoring something that already exists on the tablet. This is a sure way to cause errors. (mixing different version's data files). This is the primary reason I don't mess with Titanium.

A lot of people use this app. And I guess, as long as you're restoring the same stuff on the exact same OS, it probably works ok. My theory, is that restoring HC based apps on an ICS system for example, is just looking for trouble ;)

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] v11lemans:
Moscow

i guess i have solved the problem. I restored only the missing app and data not all the back-up (as you suggested)

Up to now everything seems ok.

V11
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Great! Hope that solves it!

Should have seen things in the olden days. Folks with TB were restoring system files to different OS's :eek::eek::eek: But now it seems things are color coded. Green good, red bad ;)

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] tresed:
I discovered something strange.

Start the 3g and browse well, if the tablet goes into standby, when the awakening, the connection is dropped and I have to restart the tablet to be able to get working.

It happens to someone else, there is a solution to this.

Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
There is a solution to this. It's called......Acer ;)

3g drop is mentioned in the OP (original post). Most of the time, it behaves itself. On some tablets, it happens often, but still better than the original .001 version. We can only hope Acer give a 100% fix when they do an official release version.

Remember, this is an "un-official" version. ;)

If the 3g is a very big problem, then you can use an app called WakeLock from the Market. This will keep the 3g active, but will cost more battery power.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] tresed:
Then I misread this sentence

, OK Acer expect .... for the rest it works really well, thanks again
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ummmm... that's why I labeled it;

"Unknown Issues:

a. 3G is fixed in this release. Should be ok. I expect acer will release something better, but I haven't had a 3g drop.

b. No SOD's but that doesn't mean they won't happen. Seems to be ok during testing."

I even put it in the very beginning (in red);

"Please note that this appears to be a release candidate. As such you may still have some issues. 3g appears to be stable for the most part. There are reports of occasional SOD, although I have only experienced 1 in the past few days. A lot better than the previous leak."

Personally, I think it's a whole lot more stable than the previous release. Although on some tablets there are still issues.

Sorry if you mis-understood.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] tresed:
Moscow no problem ;);) , am I that I had not read well, your work is so great already.

I would never dare to criticize, my only comment :D:D:D .

Let's hope Acer gives us the "final" fix real soon!

OC/UV Kernel

Well Boys and Girls, it's "Howdy Doody Time"!

EZ_Terry and Vache cooked up some OC/UV with a hybrid kernel for our good 'ol 501.

Yes, I've been testing it for a few days.

Note, this is EXPERIMENTAL. And in testing, it requires a partial Wakelock to keep 3g going when it sleeps. I compensate by lowering the voltage another -25mv.

If you want to try it, goto:

Hey md.

Just wanted to let you know that after finally deciding to update to ics I didn't realize the long road ahead was going to be for me.

Downgrade to hc 3.01. Upgrade to 3.1 then 3.2 them 3.21 then 4.03. Of course all ota.

Once upgraded in was stuck on 0.03.11 boot loader locked.

Couldn't figure out why my boot loader wouldn't unlock. Thanks to blackthund3r's latest update I was able to update by changing the bct. That was the key to the issue I was having.

Once that was done I couldn't find cwm! I had to install several different boot loaders before I finally got a cwm.

Once I did that i was able to install alexandra v. So happy to finally be here.

Thanks md and everyone else that helped.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Glad to have you on board!!!!!!

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] ordio:
Thanks bud.. nice to finally make the upgrade to ics :)

Only if i could get my wife's SGS 4G (telus fascinate 4g) upgraded to ics somehow.. that'd be the last one :)

When I try to change the system language, there is an error. Please fix this.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thanks!

I sent a report to Acer!

Not much I can do about it. Code is as Acer made it. But I will look and if it's something I can do!

MD

EDIT: Looks like Acer left out the provider info from the Settings for User Dictionary. Not a lot I can do about that. Will add it to the known issue list.
[Acer Iconia A500] pulser:
thanks to MD for a great rom and for his big support. cheers m8

Fix for those that have issues with changing System Language (settings close)

Fix is attached. Flash through CWM..... NO WIPES

Just install it.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thanks Mate!

But really, a big THANKS to all those that support me, and all the countless others that are willing to use "pre-release" roms, test bootloaders, kernels, and to have the "gonads" to do it. Brick our tabs we do sometimes.

And a big Thanks to those that find issues in the rom and telling me about it.:D I would have never noticed some things.

I think mainly, it is a "community effort". Without the best devs in android, we wouldn't be able to do these things. And the acer community has the best!

Ehhhhh... need to drink a toast to everybody :D (ukranian vodka)
[Acer Iconia A500] rdukes:
Thanks for the help on getting my tablet up again .

I was using nflash and my tablet got stuck on APX mode and I want to thanks all of those who took the time to help out. Mr. Moscow you are the bomb I old you a big fat beer. Next time I am in Moscow I will give you a call. :)

My fix was I was using my desktop computer trying to flash using nflash and got hung on formatting for hrs, after two day i tried it on my laptop and all seem to worked like a charm. SO it mush of been something on my desktop driver, but I install the update from google sdk and still it seem to not correct. So the switch to another computer worked.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I'll take that beer! Glad you are running well!

Just waiting for a great release from Acer.....
[Acer Iconia A500] pulser:
a new release? what you are up to now? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ordio:
There is no release... there is only Acer... whom we must wait on for a release.

We are waiting for a new leak/release for our beloved a501 :)

FYI MD, 2 days ago i ended up losing my mobile data, did a reboot and came back fine. Haven't had any issues since.

I think i had one sod... but didn't really pay attention to it... lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yep, those randoms pop up every now and then.

I'm still messing with EZ's newer OC kernels, but have to run wakelock to keep things going. Trying to find a sweet spot between Wakelock and UV.

No new builds though :crying:

Sent you a PM already Mate.

Info for any having GPS issues with not locking.

In the past 3 or 4 days, I noticed GPS was no longer getting locks on Sat's. WTH????

Of course I mess with different kernels, so figured maybe had some bad kernel files leftover. Did a fresh re-install. Got some locks (3 of 11)

Yesterday, GPS wouldn't lock so I installed Civato's tweaked kernel and all worked. Today, no GPS locks (tab was on 24+hrs). Rebooted all is fine. Locks on 7 of 12 sats.

Just some info for you all.

This must be embarrassing for these companies that can't even get ICS released to have an "new" OS released.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

It further demonstrates my thought that most companies today are run by idiots.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
At least 8 months, till Acer or Google drops the code.

Remember ICS....... And 60% of android devices still do not have updates yet.

I tell you, I have had an epiphany lately, and one that dwells in my mind a lot.

What the hell are we doing, and why?

Alex IV runs good. It runs damn good. And all things work for most that we want.

So why, do want to upgrade to ICS? And now Jelly Bean? (seriously, google needs to rename this crap. Apple guys just smile when we say "Ice Cream Sandwich". (while they run mountain lion, or Tyranasauris".

Why do we do it?

I have flashed 60+ permutations of ICS. Maybe more. What did I see?

Nothing.

And I, have first hand knowledge.

Do my videos run faster?

No.

Does my app page run better.... well maybe just a tick.

Battery life better?

No, about the same.

So the big question is, why?

Because Google says so?

Honestly, I don't see anything google says, that would make a person want to upgrade. Once the OS is running good.

Do I need "jelly beans dancing around"??? No,,, nice, but not useful.

With ICS, yes, the acer ring is nice (thanks google for not giving it to the 500/501 users, but hey, you should hire some of our devs". Acer print...again, thanks to our smarter guys.

Yes, Fastboot and unlocked bootloaders are great. again, Acer, you should fire your HR Dept. Clearly, they are underqualified....

You could easily put incremental battery %. Do you do it??? No....Why the hell not???????

You could easily put features to allow more control, and more global changes to some system things. Did you do it??? No....

ICS, was "supposed" to make our processors better and more efficient. Did it happen? Looks like...no. Visually, it makes it look like yes. But in reality, 7hrs average battery life is still 7hrs. Whether you have 50 jelly beans dancing around, or not.

Ok, granted, you can play musical chairs with your widget....... (Probably saves 2 seconds organizing time).

ICS is as far as I go my friends. I started this, and I will finish. This is a promise. ICS is as far as I go folks. When we get a good kernel, I will blend it in. And I will support through OC/UV. But that's the end.

Personally, I feel like going back to 3.2.1. Unless Acer fixes their mess. Asus seems to have no issues. What's up Acer?????

MD

But that's the end of it.
[Acer Iconia A500] droiduzr2:
I agree with you.

ICS works just fine. I saw the JB video and not really that different.

For a big company like Google and Acer to keep users waiting so long for an upgrade is just ridiculous.

I am running an early version of ICS resurrection remix on my S2. It works fine.

I will now wait for JB to be fully functional then upgrade to that but I am in no rush.

There is so much to do outside even sleep than to keep upgrading a phone.

Most people do not use half the functions or features on their phones.

I am willing to be most people do not know they have a built in GPS...lol
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
is it possible this Rom works with A500 without any trouble, taking into account in the post says its for A501?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
It should install fine. I can't promise you GPS will work though. 500 and 501 use different GPS.

Just make sure you are currently running an ICS Bootloader.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
sorry but

I have just installed and its running very nice and stable, the only problem I have is the 3g. I do not see any APN option in the menu. Do I have to install any ril-daemon tool to make it work-? thanks in advance----
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If you are referring to using a USB Modem, this doesn't support it. It's a 501 rom that uses the internal 3g.
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
Hey MD, just as a response to your post....

1. Because we can and to see what improvements can be made toour devices because, as you said, Acer just goes "Does it work, yep, good" and leaves it at that...

2. Again its searching for the Holy Grail.. There's never a perfect thing... It's human nature to keep looking...

But most importantly, we do this for fun.... Always remember the thrill of getting your device to do that one little thing more than it did previously, even if its not much more noticeable to ANYONE else...

The moment playing with these toys (and lets admit that right now, they are toys) becomes a chore, work or puts pressure on other parts of your life, you can stop. No-one would blame anyone, and if they do then they SERIOUSLY need to move out of their parents basement, wipe the pizza greases off their face and hands, get some excercise and some sun and go find a real friend (no, that blowup doll in the corner doesn't count)... :p

I know its an easy thing to say thanks and not mean it but you have helped I don't know how many people to improve their device from stock. I thankyou from the bottom of my heart for all the work you've done.... I know I couldn't do what you've done.

Cheers mate....:good::highfive:
[Acer Iconia A500] RiceDie:
MD I'm running your great ROM!! Thanks for the great A501 support!

Did a full wipe, installed the main archive, installed all my apps, all working so far. I use English as my main language so I didn't do any language patches. 3G dropped 1 time during 48 hours, GPS is giving 2-3 meters accuracy.

Only thing I miss is the overclocking of my CPU @ GPU... I like to bench @ 1680Mhz on the CPU and 400Mhz on the GPU.. btw I remember I've read somewhere that the CPU official specification suggests 1.2 Ghz stock.. but the developers decided to keep it at 1Ghz correct me if Im wrong.

Stable and reliable enough to install your rom on two other A501's of my friend, time to move them from HC too MD's ICS! :D

Thanks once again! Ukranian vodka is Gorillka?!?! :laugh:
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thanks for the support guys!

I get moody when things don't go right ;)

You know, I've been playing with Paul-xxx on that transformer port. Made a little headway, but still can't lock in the 3g. (it gets signal and APN's though and registers on the network).

What was interesting, is that the TF port uses the same kernel (minus the ramdisk.gz) that the build .014 uses. That's part of porting it over.

Soooo,,,, I took a break for a couple days, and just let the tab sleep. And guess what, it woke with no issues, and still only lost about 5% of battery power over almost 2 days!

Makes me wonder if the issue with SOD and 3g drop on our tabs, is somewhere else besides the kernel.

Just an observation.

Don't we all....

Hi MD,

Thanks for a wonderful ROM. Everything seems to be smooth except that whatever I removed using Titanium Backup will comes back again after a restart. Is there a way to fix it as it kinda annoying...!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, first off, I would make sure you have a good root. I usually use root explorer of File manager HD, and check permissions for RW. You need to set the permissions before running TB.

Generally, you can check this by copying a txt file into your system directory. It should stay. The same as deleting.

Did you use Zero-Null's root as I put in the original post? The reason you need to use it, is the rom is using a stock kernel, and by the nature of the bootloader&kernel, it required a tweaked kernel to get a "pre-root". I opted to stay with the stock kernel, and just run Zero-null's root.

Should be a link to it in the first post. So,

1. Run Zero-Nulls root.

2. Set your System permissions to RW

Let me know

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] vothanhtam:
Hi MD,

I done all those steps already but still can't get rid of G Maps & G+ for good! I removed them using TB & Ultimate Backup back they still comes back after the tablet is restarted. Also the wifi is not stable as well and I re-flashed the ROM like 4 times already but with them same results.

Tam
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hey, I'll take a look at those 2 apps. I believe they get called from different locations (a little acer/google trick). I know Google Plus is named OnePlus.apk, but it's probably getting called from somewhere else. Not quite exactly sure if you can get rid of Google Maps. Never tried it before ;)

As with Wifi, I haven't noticed any issues in Moscow. Is this happening at home? or out at a free wifi location. Reason I ask, is there is a really popular app called "KillWifi" or WifiKill", which kills most wifi connections at the free wifi places. Very convienant when bandwidth sucks. (I use it on the Apple folks :laugh: Especially when they sit and don't leave the cafe for hours and I need a seat!!!

Also, I will chek the other Dev Rom threads (civato, smaury, vache and EzTerry) and see if they have any Wifi patches to try.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, I downloaded TB, and deleted the PlusOne apk and the Maps. Rebooted several times, and apps seem to stay deleted.

Do me a favor, download FileManager HD, start it, go to System, then select the options/settings and make sure you;

a. Get Root Explorer

b. Mount System Folders

You should have a check in both check boxes. Then try deleting the apks.

Should work. Remember, with this rom, you have to set the system as R/W before deleting apps. TB and other apps will not do this for you.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] vothanhtam:
Yeah weird eh? I managed to removed those mentioned apps on all other Android devices except this one, although with Alexander IV I could. Oh well I'll just have to use Go Launcher HD and hide all those apps pretending they're gone hehehe.

Thanks for your time MD

Tam
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
It's because this rom uses a completely stock kernel and doesn't automatically have "full root and system R/W" like the others did. With the 3g being a bit wonky, and knowing an official ICS is just around the corner, I left it that way.

That's why I use the Zero-Null root, then open File Manager HD or Root Explorer to set the system to R/W.

Will go check about wifi patches for you now. I believe there are one or two based on regional location.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Disregard, Vache's is for Ad-Hoc Wifi.
