Guys, an update

Preview CM10 alpha builds incoming this weekend...

Sit tight :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Rippster:
Sorry, mate. TF is right...you need to settle yourself.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Thank you, Sir. Your work is definitely appreciated!
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
That's cool matey i never mind it when people say it politely :good:
[Acer Iconia A500] ibila:
Hello,

thanks for this info.

Problem is that the utility keeps haning at Flashing Recovery (SOS) stage two - uploading image..."

Anyone got a solution for that?
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
Edit , correction
[Acer Iconia A500] kjdoug:
If we edit the build prop can we use this with an a501?
[Acer Iconia A500] partzman2:
Deleting file from external sd

Has anybody had trouble deleting files from the external SD? When I try to delete an old JB gapps file or any other file, I get this error: "gapps-jb-20120714.zip cannot he deleted!" I've also noticed that the external SD looks to be mounted read only.

Am running wesvista's build.
[Acer Iconia A500] lionedas:
not sure why, try another recovery like, rc_ics_pub_v02.img

or maybe also run afterota 109 and click reinstall drivers.

good luck
[Acer Iconia A500] lowsum:
+1 Most file manager fail to delete on ext-sd but I can successfuly delete with File Manager HD.
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
Yes I had to enable e root explorer in es to be able to rename file seems permissions are a bit out of wack.
[Acer Iconia A500] partzman2:
Had already done that in es, never had a problem before. I know I can remount the external SD, but just mentioning what happened so someone can look into it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Timelord83:
don't even need to do that i have an A501 and using the flash order i posted a few pages ago this rom is completely solid
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
yeah, just noticed it now for the first time, but it goes away one you reboot.

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Sweet! Thank you!

Ok, thank you!

Nice! I can't wait!
[Acer Iconia A500] kjdoug:
So the 3g portion works as well?
[Acer Iconia A500] anthrax132:
As far as i know, not until a kernel release from Acer unfortunately :(

But i agree; other than that and the little bits who needs ironing out, this rom is solid (it's my daily driver)
[Acer Iconia A500] GeneralSmart:
Funny thing...i cant even start cause after I flashed the zip I don't get wifi signal...any suggestions? Is there a patch for that?
[Acer Iconia A500] fox.not.fire:
Have you done data wipe yet?
[Acer Iconia A500] anthrax132:
Just my thoughts, but be aware that the signal icon for Wifi seems broken.

On first boot, i thought mine wasn't connected, and i kept rebooting it for 10 times before i understand that the icon don't change.

So, be sure your Wifi doesn't work, and don't trust the filthy icon ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] JoeyDVDZ:
Hi Timelord,

I can suss out where to get JB apps, and the rom of course is in the OP, but where can I find the links to the SD fix and the sound fix? Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] anthrax132:
Can use the rom from this thread, already has all included
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
I always wondered on new (usually alpha, beta) builds of ROMs like ICS or JB, why the WiFi icon is always blacked out. What issue is preventing the actual icon from showing up? It's really weird!

Also, @ everyone - has anyone else had their rotation option stop working? I rebooted, wiped cache/dalvik cache, checked my settings (I use Go Launcher EX) it said "auto rotate" and it doesn't ever rotate. It only goes into portrait mode when I force portrait. I don't understand. Does this have something to do with hardware acceleration or something? (I still don't know what that does...)
[Acer Iconia A500] JoeyDVDZ:
This seems to bring me to a page:

http://www.theinternetvshollywood.com/

when I click on skip ad. I don't get the option to download the actual rom. Can you assist? Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] fox.not.fire:
Auto rotate works fine on mine in 90, 180, and 270 degrees..:good:
[Acer Iconia A500] sfahadzb:
you need to read the thread. there are mirrors a few posts after that
[Acer Iconia A500] JoeyDVDZ:
Thanks. I missed that; at work now & can't devote a whole lot of attention to the thread. Dl'ing now though, so thanks for that!

So, rather than post yet another comment I'll just edit an existing one. Dl'ed and installed from one of the mirrors (Thanks for that once again!) and wiped. This is sick! Beautiful ROM, works pretty much flawlessly. I'm sure there are things that need to be fixed, GPS, etc. Big deal. Who is using their GPS on their tablets? I use my phone. As long as it does the things you need a tablet to do, I'm more than happy with this. Great job gentlemen!

Strange,just tested and the link is OK

Maybe you've got some prob with your comp

Here's the full link to the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28922736&postcount=570
[Acer Iconia A500] GeneralSmart:
Yep, did the whole program: data/factory wipe, cache and dalvik...I always do...and the icon thing is not the problem, I couldn't even enter my wpa2 key, so I was definitely not silent connected...
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
No, I get 'Hollywood vs Internet' also.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Works perfectly here. I suggest you guys have something on your PC's that you don't really want. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
No other issues with A500 & a Norton Mobile Malware Scan comes up clean. Strange. You just click "skip ad' after the timer runs down?
[Acer Iconia A500] jimbobtexas:
I get the Internet vs. Hollywood, also. I guess we all have the same malware. :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I don't even get an ad. What browser are you using? Chrome here with AdBlockPlus.

[Acer Iconia A500] JoeyDVDZ:
Glad to see I'm not the only one who was getting that. One of the mirrors worked a treat however. Running 4.1.1 now and it's true, this thing is buttery smooth and beautiful!
[Acer Iconia A500] nebneb333:
I have waterfox 13 with adblock as well and get the internet vs hollywood thing too... Maybe someone who has already downloaded the file can upload it somewhere for us? I know my comp is clean of male ware and what not for sure!

[Acer Iconia A500] kibblenbits:
Thanks for the mirror links.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Well, I looked all through my settings and launcher settings and couldn't find anything on auto-rotation. I don't know why - I swore the setting was there somewhere. Anyway, I fixed the auto-rotation by downloading an auto-rotation widget and reenabled it. somehow, it was shut off. I think this happened by itself somewhere along the line (I would never choose this), so if anyone else has the same problem, just get a widget.
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
You realize it's right in the quick settings tray, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] andrjas:
For those who have problems with the filesharing services: I've just uploaded the ROMs made by wesvista to my server.

http://xda.andrjas.de/

Search the thread for the meaning of these files. And be nice to my server ;) I don't pay for traffic, but it may not be the fastest and shouldn't overload.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
OMG YES thank you. I knew it was somewhere, but i looked everywhere but there... thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
jesus - take a few days off and the thread is horrifyingly hijacked

I see my rom has been rereleased without permission and dirty hacks have been applied to it. :eek: I'm a bit annoyed by that. Not even the courtesy of a pm?

I appreciate the thought but it's a bit of a no no to rerelease someone elses work without permission even if you do credit them. :D

The best way to do it is with a flashable zip patch style - even then pm me and I could have pointed out to you that you just needed to add the codec .xml - and I could have pointed out to you that yours isn't exactly right.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I agree it's impolite, and really not the "done thing". But, well... You know what people are like. They're terminally impatient, and with you working on that other ROM, they assumed you'd abandoned this one.

I don't agree with that, but I can see why they thought that.
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
it's fine - I was just a bit shocked
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
im waiting for your release mate :highfive:
[Acer Iconia A500] Matthileo:
I'm honestly not trying to be rude, but isn't this exactly what you (and every other ROM dev out there) does? Did you ask Google's permission to release their work with modifications? Acer's? I'm not attacking you, I'm glad you did it, but there isn't really a difference (at the very least from a "right and wrong" standpoint). The person doing it never tried to claim credit, and only did it to improve everyone else's experience.

TBH I'm shocked that you're "shocked" or "annoyed".

If that came off as hostile I'm truly sorry, as that was not the intent. I just find your position on this issue a bit...odd.
[Acer Iconia A500] andrjas:
look at it this way: "Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.", Charles Caleb Colton ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Those are XDA's rules. You don't repackage someone else's ROM without getting their OK to do so.

As for the Google comment, it's not relevant. They've released the SOURCE code, not a ROM. You can do what you like with source, you can't with the ROM. It's only the kernel that's fully open, as per the GPL.
[Acer Iconia A500] wesvista:
like i said i can remove it if you want

just pm me
[Acer Iconia A500] terrormattie:
You have been working on your desire HD rom every day so you had all the time to chek this thread it out. Keep in mind that we all own this tablet and we simply want jelly bean, nothing more nothing less.
[Acer Iconia A500] Matthileo:
I get that. That's way I clarified "from a right and wrong stand point" I was never saying anything about XDA's rules or the GPL. From that standpoint random is 100% correct.

I just think it's a weird thing to take issue with, for someone who is developing off Google's work. And let's not forget that random started out with an SDK port and the Gnex dump (neither of which are source).

These aren't really complaints, and I hope you don't take them that way random. You're doing awesome work. I just think that it's important to consider what your work is built off when talking about other people building off it.

Anyways enough of this. The thread is derailed enough already. Sorry all.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
So, anyway... What are your plans for this ROM, mate?
[Acer Iconia A500] mantrajt:
I've installed rev5 and there are no gapps in it, so i tried to go back to recovery mode finding there is no way for me to get in there!

So my tablet is kind of useless now with no Gmail app...

What am i missing?

Did you read the thread yet? All your questions are answered within.

If you don't know what you're doing, don't install an alpha stage ROM.

How do you know that you can't enter the recovery mode?

Actually TWRP is the only recovery I've had grief with,

When I decided to try Thor's latest ROM a week or two ago, his own recovery couldn't install it, it just hung. TWRP managed to install it just fine.

However, just swapped back to Thor's recovery and WDS's release installed fine, so I guess they BOTH can be tempermental. :p
