thanks!! dawkon13, you rock. thanks for all of your hard work.

btw, if any of you are having youtube issues, try changing lcd density to 220 in build.prop...it works so much better! right now i'm running sd7.3 with lcd density of 220. i also downgraded youtube to the factory version. right now youtube is working beautifully. it was flakey when the lcd density was 160.

-edit-

btw, anyone know how i can add google talk to sd7.3? i don't see it in the play store...but i did notice it existed by default in the official ics install

-edit 2-

actually the latest version of youtube works great if you have lcd density at 220!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GeneValgene:
also, is anyone running SD7.3 running into issues with the facebook app? for some reason, i can only see pictures. all text is invisible...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wes3284:
Why is it that I can't install some of my apps. Even Ant Smasher can't be installed.

Anyone got the same issue? How do I fix it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kenshin79:
Yes! Thanks for this tip! Youtube has no more problems and both opera and chrome browsers seem to work faster! sliding the screen also seem faster.

I'll miss the soft buttons though...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wes3284:
Has anyone tried to change the lcd density to 180? I've read somewhere that youtube will work on this density.

I don't have my tablet right now so I can't test if this works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GeneValgene:
if you're using sd7.3 it's not going to like it if you set it at 180. the launcher won't launch. looks like it only accepts 160 or 220
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
What if you try another launcher like nova? Maybe try 200 dpi
[Miscellaneous Android Development] teamrf:
Battery draining much to fast SD7.3

Is it normal that the Battery drains in 24 hour of not using it? It seems the tablet doesn´t enter deepsleep mode.

Cell Standby uses all the power (FlightMode activated) wenn i remove phone.apk battery life is great but i run into a lot of fc´s

Otherwise Super ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:

App install problem.

I'm currently trying out Slimdroid 7.25, having been using the stock ICS on the tablet.

Everything seems to be working well except for the a small issue. I am unable to install certain apps eg the Olympic Results app.

The app downloads from the Play Store, but I receive the error message:

'Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card.'

I have a 4gb external micro-sd card, and plenty of space on the internal memory.

I've tried flashing the A1_ICS_SD-Card.zip file, but still no luck.

I'm pretty sure the same issue was being had with certain users trying to install Aldiko eBook Reader. Did anyone find a fix for this?

Thanks in advance,

Nath.

hi myjess,

i just tried this fix today using the volume+ app (free) and it seems to work. Read link below...

www.addictivetips.com/mobile/improve-volume-on-galaxy-nexus-other-android-devices-with-volume-plus/

After installing you should go to the settings->sound->sound effects and choose volume + and then open the app and adjust the volume to the max (4+).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpisini:
With aldiko I was able to install by going into settings unmounting the card then powering off and removing the card. Then doing the install.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myjess:
i dont know if this made any difference but its still too low. there's something that can be changed in Android, my old tablet when it was updated had a change in it by the firmware developer but i dont know if that would be the same here.

thks for that app tho.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GeneValgene:
interesting enough...not only does the fb app not work, but if you open the fb mobile version using chrome, the text is invisible too

Good greif' last 2.5 hours reading how to go from GB to ICS. Comming from cm7, have cwm can I go recovery->=>wipe-->7.3 thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amjl2000:
What's the battery life like with this slimdroid? I am on 'official' ICS.. 'Awake' stays on pretty much all the time, regardless of whether Wifi, Sync etc is on or off, and I get huge drain (~3%) an hour even when it's idle, with screen off. I'm not sure if it's OS, or Lenovo implementation, or even some app that I have installed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amjl2000:
OK, I have improved my battery life by disabling all google location services.

I still have one major niggle, and perhaps others have it too. The wifi stalls/hangs during connection and disconnection. My wifi toggle widget stays orange (i.e. neither on nor off?) and in the settings it just stays at 'Turning wifi on/off'. It's not every time, but with alarming regularity (sometimes when i go from home to work it deosn't automatically connect to a new network)

I guess its similar to the issues with GB in that the wifi would cause a reboot, except it doesn't actually reboot - though I still have to manually reboot myself (which in itself is a minor inconvenience without a reboot option)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tinybeetle:
When I experienced this on GB, I would bring up ES Task Manager and "Kill All", then try turning WiFi back on. 90% of the time this would work. The other 10% would result in a reboot when I clicked the WiFi widget to turn the WiFi on after doing the Kill All.

Is there a similar option to Kill All running tasks in ICS?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tkortell:
:( I actualy managed to make it worse now. I instaled stock_A1_recovery.zip with CWM. Put the 7.20 zip on the SD card as update.zip. But it seems like the stock recovery is not instaling anything. When I boot in to recovery I see the white box with an arrow coming out of it and the litle green dude standing beside it for a while and then the tab shuts of. If I try to boot normaly I get the 4.0 bootanimation infinitely. Geting desperate for help here. What should I do? Please try to explain it to me like I was 4 years old so I don't screw it up.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tkortell:
Just to be sure. You meen I should install this one -> "A107I0_A404_001_013_0116_US.zip"?

With CMW?

Or with Stock recovery? Which one? "A1_ICS_Stock_Recovery.zip"? Or "stock-a1-recovery.zip"?

Should I do this using the bootableSD or do you think there is another way? Because the recovery does not seem to work right now.

Sorry about the 20 questions but please be more spesific so that I do no need to guess.

status update

I managed to get "cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip" installed using bootable SD. With CWM I then installed "A107W0_A234_001_015_2643_US.zip". Now the tablet seemed to boot correctly again but the touch screen did not work. Then I installed "A107I0_A404_001_013_0116_US.zip" with what seemed to be the stock recovery (not sure). Now I have the situation where CWM and stock 4.0.4 is installed but the tablet does not boot up. It is at the boot animation forever.

I now installed "cwm-5.0.2.8-ideapad-a1.zip" but NOT the "extra-partition-mbr.zip" and tried to install the "A107I0_A404_001_013_0116_US.zip" again. Now I get the this again:

11.fuse system.img

assert failed: run_program("/tmp/fuse" , "System" , "/tmp/system.zip")

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(status 7)

Please advise how I should continue, should I realy risk braking it more by installing "extra-partition-mbr.zip"

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tkortell:
I think I might know what is causing some of my problems. I have the update.zip file containing cwm-5.0.2.7 in the root of my internal memory. Even if I install cwm-5.0.2.8 it will go back to cwm-5.0.2.7 when I boot into recovery the third time or something. How can I delete the update.zip file from the internal memory? Could someone modify CWM so that you would be able to delete files? Or is there another way? I might be completely wrong...

I now have 2.3.4 instaled since this is the only version I can instal without problems. but I can not use it since touch screen is not working because of the update.zip in root of internal memory I think...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tkortell:
fixed my problem...

Hi all,

Today I successfully managed to "un-brick" my A1. I went back to this forum and thoroughly read trough what I had done in the past and I noticed that when I tried to install SD 7.20 and stock recovery I had tried to install the GB stock recovery on a failed 4.0.4 installation. I did not realize that there is a difference what you have already installed when you try to install something.

So I tried the SD 7.20 installation again now starting point was 2.3.4. Installed GB stock recovery and then SD 7.20.

Now everything is working :D

Next step is to install CWM and SD 7.30, but not today. I thought maybe I would use it some before I break it again ;)

I already installed new slimdroid 7.31. After a temporary slowing and hanging up of launcher, everything seems ok now. Battery life also seems improved, where previously my regular use will only last around 18 hrs max, now it lasts more than 24 hrs, exactly 25 hrs that is.

I hope it stays stable though..

Thanks dawkon13 for this information and for all the work you put in to SD.

I'm interested in trying this but as I have managed to brick my tablet once before I thought I'd ask for more details before I go and do something stupid.

When you want to install stock ICS and have SD v7.31 installed what is the correct way to do it?

A). Would it be safe to install the recent update from the update menu under "about tablet" in system settings?

OR B). Should I just flash the .zip with CWM?

OR C). Should I first install stock ICS recovery and then install stock ICS?

Another think I'm not sure about is the clearing of data/cache and stuff, when do you need to do that? And why? Seems to me that sometimes you have to do this and sometimes you do not.
