I don't understand why you have been flashing ICS Gapps. You are overwriting all JB apps and libs, and thus, it is not surprising that you get FCs.

Best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] Thegn:
Please see the quote from Randomblame I had in my post:

"The jellybean gapps are busted flash them then flash the ice gapps from goo inside.me over it".

I haven't reflashed and tested only JB gapps, perhaps tomorrow.

Cheers,
[Acer Iconia A500] taylor.fowler:
Same here. USB Storage works suprisingly well. Looks like external sd is mounted as read only though :/
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
Then I think you should try flashing ICS gapps only, as I doubt that combining both types of gapps can work smoothly.

I just flashed jb apps, no ics at all, and getting lots of FC's with Google search and Youtube, even though I didn't launch them. I'm reading XDA forums forma example, and all of sudden a window pops up 'Youtube has been hang' but I never opened Youtube in the first place

yeah dude i mean the new voice-search that comes with jellybean and only works on jellybean.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

im expecting running ics apps on JB is causing problems because of the different framework , remember we had to get many apps changed to be ics compatible and jellybean is more different to ics then ics was to HoneyC

[Acer Iconia A500] Rippster:
Not complaining...just giving feedback...

I flashed 4.5 on top of 4.0. Re-flashed gapps. What happens are continuous pop-ups that "[app] has been granted superuser permissions for an interactive shell" for the 4 apps that i'm testing (SetCPU/Lucky Patcher/BusyBox/Quick Boot). When I say continuous, I mean that the popups will not stop for each of those apps requesting root access.

Also, when I go into SuperSU, it states that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!" I know it has to do with the internal mount issue.

Flashing back to 4.0.

Thank you for your efforts!

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Currently with the Iconia ICS, it works, but not reliable and several functions are inop. Will probably work better on the AOSP builds. Also, the audio portion, has something to do with the JB kernel. So the OP porting authors say. After all, it's designed to work with JB.

It works with a stock ICS build, but marginal and not really worth installing on ICS. Information cards are random or non existent.
[Acer Iconia A500] pio_masaki:
Sorry I'm late to this, I was testing it on the A100, but su does work, and its a permissions issue. For those who don't feel like flashing, ADB can do it just fine:

adb shell ls -al /system/xbin/su

adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

adb shell ls -al /system/xbin/su

Or if that fails, use /system/bin/su instead, the first line will show you if it's there or not.

I've since fixed it in the A100 updater-script, should be simple enough for RB on his next upload.
[Acer Iconia A500] khanning88:
I was able to resolve the internal sd card mounting issue on the Ideapad K1. The K1's internal sd card is a fuse mount from /data/media. Assuming the a500 has a similar setup this might help you guys.

In the device specific init file (init.device.rc) make sure the /storage/sdcard1 directory is created. In early-init you should have something like (I added some symlinks for backwards compatability):

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
mkdir /storage 0050 system sdcard_r
mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0000 system system
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0000 system system
# for backwards compatibility
symlink /storage/sdcard0 /sdcard
symlink /storage/sdcard0 /mnt/sdcard
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /sdcard2
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2

Then I had to change the sdcard service from class late_start to class main:

service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023
class main
oneshot

The internal sd card would then mount to /storage/sdcard1 and is linked to /sdcard2 and /mnt/sdcard2.

Hope this helps you in your efforts.

If one of the iconia dev's could reach out to me to help with updating my audio hal libs from ICS to Jelly Bean it would be greatly appreciated. The audio hal lib I used in ICS was based off the tuna libs so I think we're in the same boat. Just send me a PM if you can help. Thanks!!

Right off the bat you will notice the acer boot splash logo changed, you can check with acer recovery installer, it show you the bootloader version.

Some of you are on the border of "trolling" the thread.

If a person asks a simple question, as what exactly is working, we don't need a barrage of replies (none of which specifically give an answer) Read the OP, well I can say, unless you have been following every post in the thread, it can be a bit confusing to some to know exactly what is working 100%. Give smb the benefit of a doubt.

So stop with the "quote replies" congratulating each other. And stop clogging RandomBlames thread. Useless garbage.

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Before we worry about such inconsequential things as netflix, lets see about actually getting the ROM working properly first, yes? This is a development thread, if you're not testing the ROM and providing logcats etc, you shouldn't be posting in here.

MD, Can we have a mod on cleanup duty please? And that includes my post. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
@FFM, if randomblame needs the threads cleaned, he can "report" the posts he wants deleted. I have no authority in this forum, however, I do have other means to keep people in order.

#1. As FFM stated, if you have an app that FC's or some other irregularity, then run a logcat and attach it to your post. This is valuable in sorting out problems. Without it, it;s just chasing a ghost.

Just stating "xxxxx app doesn't work" means absolutely nothing, and will probably not even get looked at if you didn't attach a logcat or dmesg. And of course, it will be order of priority. Example, Play Store issues get higher priority than Whack a Mole.

#2. The JB rom, is new development. The core functionality must be running before app issues can be looked at. That's development.

#3. every time you guys post some insignifigant useless post, the Devs get notified, and they have to stop what they're doing and check it, because it may be a major issue. And it's "wasted time". This ain't Facebook folks, and you don't get "kudo's" by posting useless garbage.

So keep the thread clean.

Anymore useless crap will be reported.

Good Job RB and your partners!

[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
I try not to make to many irrelevant comments, and I am far from a noob, but I'm really not that familiar with creating a logcat. I would like to do so though. Can you give a simple direction on creating one?

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
And "That" is how you run a "logcat", from either "terminal" on your tablet, or from ADB on your PC. My instructions, were from terminal on the a501.

Note that you should run "logcat", right before you know the error will occur if you can. This will keep the logcat file smaller. Remember, logcat will continue running and updating until you close out the session or re-boot the tab.

So, start your logcat, re-produce the error, then close the session. Note that it may take a little while till you see your logcat file. Heck, I always restart my tablet. Then I usually find the new files.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The title of the forum, is Development.

Forgive FFM's statements, he can be unsubtle sometimes, but he wasn't shooting you down, and he's really an ok guy.

Some links were just posted, if you can clear the red from your eyes, explaining how to do a logcat, and how important it is to "development".

And how important it is.. To NOT clog threads. There is a PM option for this. I suggest all of you use it.

So knock it off!
