[Acer Iconia A500] realityrat:
Hi all, I'm running a rooted A500 (Android 3.1 build number Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2) using the 2.6.36 Honeyvillian 1.0 kernel (so I could OC) and would like to upgrade to a rooted ICS. But since I changed from the stock kernel I get a little confused trying to follow other threads on what to do. The threads seem to start out on topic but tend to drift and for somebody like me, that can make it very hard to understand. I'd like to stay away from a custom ROM, no insult to the hard working dev's intended. You guys have saved alot of my devices from ending up on the top shelf of the closet. I'd like to upgrade to a "stock" rooted ICS with proper bootloader, kernel, etc. If I decide later to try a dev's ROM then I'll always have that option, but since I've never messed with ICS...stock may do all I need. I'd like to root for OC because some of the things I do seem to run better if the device is OC'd. So, what I need are a clear set of instructions on what to do. OTA's dont work, I'm guessing thats because of the root and kernel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
There are 2 threads with Stock rooted ICS roms in the developer section. Read each and choose the one that suits you. Also, you may need to separately update the bootloader. To do this there is a new tool in the developer section called afterota 1.02. This will help automate the process for you.
[Acer Iconia A500] realityrat:
Thanks Cruise, but thats where the problem comes in. I've read over the threads you mentioned and I get lost. Because the threads are a generic install method and cant be refined to match my exact situation I dont know where to start. I dont know if I need to return to stock kernel before I do anything else or if I can flash the new stuff the way it is. Do I need to flash the bootloader first or the ROM and what about flashing recovery? Thats why I asked for a clear step by step, the Dev threads tend to be a little hard to follow for somebody with my novice knowledge.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If you want to go completely stock (stock kernel, non-rooted), then you need only to install one of the Stock ICS Roms. This set's your bootloader back to a stock condition. So that's simple enough. You can do this through CWM

You said you're on Honeyomb right now. So my suggestion, is to follow these steps to upgrade your a500 to ICS.Go Here and read the steps;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

Pay attention to step 4. You have a choice. Stock Rom with Full Root, or (in small print (stock rom no root).

If you decide to install Stock Rom No Root, then skip steps 5 and 6. Just copy the file to your EXT SD Card, boot to your recovery (pwr & Vol-) and install Zip From SD. It'll be a done deal. Recovery gone, ICS Stock bootloader and rom.

I have you do steps 1-3 because I want you to write down your UID!!!!!! It's the only thing that will save you if something messes up.

Then you can decide if you want to root and install some custom stuff later.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Deltabear:
MD, can you run setCPU w/o Root? I didn't think so. Since this OP requests the ability to OC specifically I think that the steps listed would all need to be followed in Civato's post.

RR, Here are the steps I recommend, it's an opinion, and I think the best route to take as a fairly novice rooter, I've done my A500 many times and BN Nooks, but nothing else and am not a DEV, but have professionally been in IT for 20 years...so I use novice loosely here... :)

First, know why you're getting your CPUID:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25429111#post25429111

Don't forget to BACKUP!!

Second, select which ROM you want on your tab, I recommend putting a couple on the MicroSD card so that you can test them. DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING, JUST PICK A COUPLE OF ROMS AND PUT THE ZIPS ON THE SD.

Don't forget to BACKUP!!

Third, follow the steps in the post that MD listed, read twice, run once...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

Don't forget to BACKUP!!

Fourth, flash one of the ROMs you chose previously while in recovery. Can't give you steps on this because they are all different unless you're just using the option in step 4 of the above post (stock w/ root)

Don't forget to BACKUP!!

Fifth, not sure if you can OC the stock w/ root or not, but if not pick a custom ROM and test several, they're all great, and see what fits your needs best. I use Flexreaper Extreme and love it, posted below, but look at ALL of them and find the one you like best, they're all GREAT! We have great DEVs here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22964651&postcount=1

Don't forget to BACKUP!!

Good Luck, Have fun, and did I mention to make sure you Backup before each step so that you can get back to that point if you run into issues, and make sure you write down or put in a text file on a different device your CPUID...both very important.

Good luck again!

Thanks everybody for the info but I think I'll be staying on HC for now. The linked threads are the problem I mentioned in the OP. If you look at those threads with novice eyes they are incredibly hard to follow. Not sure why I cant find simple instructions but I do appreciate everyone's help. Maybe somebody will come up with a guide for dummies. Until then I guess I'm stuck with HC. Thanks again for the info.

My advice, go to this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

This has been cleaned up to make it easy to understand...

I use the manual method to go to apx mode but each to their own...

Now, follow each step. Make sure each step has been followed EXACTLY. Don't skip ahead or you will regret it, sooner than later...

If you have a doubt, go back a step.

Good idea to read through to the end first, especially the bit about checking you sdk...

Good luck....
[Acer Iconia A500] realityrat:
Step 1: Install Acer drivers. DONE

Step 2: Get cpuid. DONE used afterota, got cpuid and SBK.

Step 3: Get SBK. DONE (see Step 2) I guess I could verify my cpuid and SBK

using the link in this step.

Step 4: Place ROM's on SD card. DONE

Steps 5 & 6: Enter APX mode and Installing ICS bootloader. NOT DONE

I downloaded the apx utility tool and the V7 flash package. The flash package does NOT contain an .a500apx file. The utility tool instructions say to select the .a500apx file NOT the .zip. Where do I find the correct .a500apx flash package? The last step in the Automated Flashing Tools section says to turn off the tablet and power on. I've read you're supposed to flash a ROM before turning off the tablet. Which one is correct? Can I do this with my current configuration as described in the OP or do I need to return my kernel to stock? And last...is ICS really worth the trouble? Thanks again for everybody's input. I do appreciate everybody taking the time to help out.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
According to the written steps., you have to download the flash package you want to use from here;

http://a500bootloaderflash.tk/bundles/20120527/

Save then to the same directory you unzipped the tools.

Just checked and everything is in order, so looks like you missed a step ;)

Actually, you really don't have to flash a rom before restarting. If you have a ICS rom installed, more than likely it will boot. (I hope) However, most custom roms have kernels altered to work with the unlocked bootloader. But I would try with your current ICS configuration. If you have any issues, then you can install the custom ICS rom that you saved on your SD Card.

Is it worth it? I think so. Eventually, all support for HC based roms will end. It's the nature of the beast. Most people will be on ICS, and if you have issues with HC, you may not get any recent support.

It's like having a Froyo rom, and trying to get support when most are on Gingerbread and moving to ICS.

You will get responses like "upgrade your device". I will in the near future, end all support for my HC based roms.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] realityrat:
Thanks for the response MD but I still get confused on the step to download the flash package. When I save the file to my computer it no longer has .a500apx in the file name or extension. for example, "a500-icsv6-pubrecovery0.2.a500apx" (from the index of bundles) is downloaded and saved as "a500-icsv6-pubrecovery0.2.zip" so do I extract it and select that file when asked by the utility tool? The guide for the tool says not to select the .zip but to select the .a500apx file. but I dont see one to select.

Also, you said I didnt have to worry about flashing the ROM before restarting. I am currently running HC 3.1 so will an ICS bootloader boot to a HC ROM.

Again, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. It is really appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ok, the link I sent you, is an index of all apx files. It should download as an apx file (I just now checked, and it downloaded and saved as an apx.)

Not sure why they are saving as zips on your system, as none of them are in a zip format. Try doing a "file save as"

Sorry for confusion about rom. I forgot you have an HC rom. I'm running several threads right now for folks with issues. Downlaod an ICS rom to your SD card, so you can install it after you update your bootloader.

MD

EDIT: If you still have issues getting the apx files, let me know, and I'll re-package them in a real zip file and upload it for you.
[Acer Iconia A500] realityrat:
Thanks MD, trying to download the apx files doesnt work for me. Not sure why but .zip is the only option I'm given even if i use "save as". So if you could upload the files for me I'd appreciate it. Also, since I will have to disconnect the tablet from the PC after flashing the bootloader can I just power it off, disconnect from PC, reboot into recovery and then flash the new ICS ROM? I also want to be sure that coming from a stock (but rooted) HC rom with a custom kernel wont affect anything. Thanks again for all your help.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I zipped 4 apx packages for your 500. They have the ICS Booltoader and different recoveries. Unzip them to the same folder as your installation package.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/9TE6rTH-/500Bootloader_package.html

Yes, after you finish the bootloader/recovery installation process, turn tablet off. Press and hold Vol- and PWR till you see 2 lines of text in upper left corner, then release both. This will be your recovery menu. From here, you need to follow the instructions from the Rom page where you got your new Rom for the installation. Pretty simple really.

Also, I can't advise you on which recovery to use. I haven't tried the public recovery or TWRP yet. ;)

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] realityrat:
Thanks MD. Got the files downloaded. I'm gonna read over the threads a few times and make sure I havent missed anything and I also want to research some of the ROM's available. I'll probably give it a try in the next few days. Thanks again for all your help.
[Acer Iconia A500] realityrat:
**UPDATE**

After reading the threads multiple times and following the instructions carefully I am now running ICS 4.0.3 with updated bootloader!! Everything went fine with only a couple problems that I was easily able to overcome. I'd like to address those problems so if anybody else has problems, 1: when entering the sbk its important to note that the spaces between the sets of numbers ARE needed, and the 0x at the beginning of each set has to be typed with a lowercase "x". 2: I used ezterry ICS 1.031.00stock- full root with busybox, and more tweaks and a500 public recovery. Following the instructions for this ROM I used the "clean up tablet" option in recovery. This DOES NOT do a full data wipe. So first boot had my custom boot animation and all my other apps and settings still there. ICS didnt like this and kept forcing reboots. I had to do a full data wipe and all is good now. I'm on ICS rooted stock and OC'd and loving it. Thank you all for your help, without your input I dont know if I would've tried this but I'm glad I did and I really appreciate everyone taking time out of their busy schedules to help some guy in NY get some ICS love. Thank you all again!

[Bada Software and Hacking General] nbates66:
On many bada 2.0 firmwares the GPS is broken and just doesn't work, the reason it seems to work when you turn AGPS on sometimes is because it simply uses network location instead(with some exceptions), but I've been unable to even get it that far most of the time, you'll probably have to try the custom firmwares as has been suggested, because stock firmwares tend to keep removing settings modifications when rebooting.

Other option is bada 1.2

Sent from my Galaxy GIO
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
Though Navigation is very slow in the WAVE (bada 1.2 and bada 2.0), it works. You need only patience at the first instance.

The custom firmwares make no difference and so not recommended as a solution, except you are willing to use Network services (which cost money) to navigate.

SOLUTION: The best solution is to verify that you are using the correct firmware for your region (for correct network settings).

Most importantly, cross-check your setting to make sure that Navigation appears under Application Profiles (without which you may never get a GPS fix).

Check like this: Menu => Setting => Network => Application Profiles => Navigation (+ your network name).

If Navigation is missing from the setting, or exists without any network name, please verfiy your Network setting. And obviously you will be able to navigate.

Best of luck.

Hi all.

can anyone advise on the best way to edit and/or delete the playlist and genre information that the stock Samsung Music app on the Galaxy S wifi 4.0?

As far as I can tell, this app stores such information (I'm guessing in a database somewhere) but there doesn't appear to be a way to purge said records if mistakes arise.

whilst I'm not using the app, it does seem as if somewhere along the line, the attempt to sync music, etc with the Samsung triggered the app and led to several minor problems with playlists and genres. Now in several other music apps, I appear to have duplicates of playlists as well as genres that only appeared in the Samsung app.

I don't mind if the solution is on the phone or on a desktop, however I'm not running a rooted device and I have no plans to root the device.

Advice gratefully received.
