I just twice attempted to PM you, Moscow. Neither shows as having gone through.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
Thank you moscow , thanks very much,

and to you other 3 guys wanting to be smart asses I was asking in relevance to gapps, plus the other more minor changes that have been mentioned in this thread since.

the status of such apps seem to change with each build and they are not mentioned in the OP, I've been following this thread thread since day 1 so I know where the Op is thanks.

Seriously seems sum peeps here only ever post to say read the OP, never with actual help.

I mean the first posts you put into the thread is to say read the Op? Thanks for your contribution it really helps :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] eBug:
Indeed I can now access internal SD card, but it's mounted on both /sdcard and /mnt/ external_sd. External SD shows up at /storage/sdcard0. IOW,

/sdcard is internal SD

/mnt/external_sd is internal SD too

/storage/sdcard0 is external SD

Just my 2 cents.
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
odd well I changed some things around in init.picasso and it's not that way anymore in my current build

/sdcard is internal

/mnt/external_sd external

/storage/sdcard0 internal

/storage/sdcard1 external

I'll have to reflash that build and look because that's odd

[Acer Iconia A500] eBug:
I'm with build5.

Digging around I came across this message from Jean-Baptiste 'JBQ' Queru, Technical Lead AOSP:

This is the second time I head about libwvm.so. That's a DRM library

that's not supposed to be necessary in AOSP, and this might just be a

case of a poor separation between Open Source and proprietary bits,

with some overzealous logging. We've had some difficulty in that area

for quite a while.

[Acer Iconia A500] eBug:
Just installed gapps*15

Youtube isn't included anymore (I'm pretty sure it was included in previous versions) and I can't download it from Play store either, 'this app is not compatible with my device'

The browser is really smooth but won't download anything either because of my supposedly 'missing SD card' (which appears fine in file explorer). I can't figure out what's going wrong with the apps unable to access SD card when it's really mounted. Random blame mentioned a new perm introduced in JB, but I'm surprised this new perm wasn't included in Google's own browser.

Actually that error is from your recovery being stupid. If you can toggle assert props do so if not open the zip go to meta-inf find the updater-script and remove the assert line at the top
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Well, there's either a problem with your sd card or the .zip. I would format your .zip then, idk what else to tell you. It's clearly saying there is an error with the file, but an sdcard that needs to be reformatted might produce the same error.

guys am i just missing something, but how the hell am i supposed to get off this rom? I'm actually selling my tablet tonight and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to flash something else. I don't have anything else on the internal sd card to flash in twrp except a version of thor's rom that uses aroma installer and is no help. I'm reallly in a pickle here. Please help. I have adb set up and can't push anything to it and my only nandroid backup was in CWMR and isn't accessible in TWRP... please help thanks. i'm so f****d right now... lol

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

i have it booted into build 4.5 right now, i can access the external sd card, is there any script to mount the internal sd card on build 4.5? i just need to copy over the .zip to flash CWM to restore my backup or something....

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

the problem is i have twrp 2.1 and it won't read my external sd card so anything i have on the external sd card it can't flash and I can't download anything to the internal to flash from there... i'm really stuck here...
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
OK, In TWRP, click the MOUNT button, then you will see at the bottom where you can select either Internal or External CD Card.

Select External SD Card, then in the upper right, press the Home Button and then you can go to Install and install anything from your external SD Card.
[Acer Iconia A500] bigwilly90210:
yeah that's the ***** of it all, i cannot click that. its driving me crazy. when i go to terminal view there's a line for everytime i've hit the button to use the external sd that says:

"E:failed to mount /sdc (No such file or directory)

wtf? i hate twrp 2.1 so hard right now. and i have nothing else to flash from my internal memory! ugh! thanks for responding
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Have you tried a different micro SD card.

Edit: OK, I read above that you can see your external SD when booted. Not sure, when in recovery you should be able to access it also. Still only thing I can say is to try a different micro SD card and see what happens.
[Acer Iconia A500] bigwilly90210:
noooo.... but honestly i don't have another one and it works just fine to read it once it's booted into JB build 4.5. is there a way to flash a recovery from adb without getting anything running on the tablet?
[Acer Iconia A500] lowsum:
You should create a thread in Q&A so we can help you over there.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
If you have a micro SD to SD adapter, try to read the card on a PC, if you can, copy things off the card then reformat the card and copy the rom you want back to the card. Then see if it can be seen in recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] bigwilly90210:
thanks did, got it figured out kinda... apparently thor's recovery can't read my sd card either. i'm a little concerned now... oh well its running. phew. thanks.

[Acer Iconia A500] andrjas:
Hey guys, apart the previously mentioned sd card issues this ROM still seems to have some issues with the internal sdcard. Some apps (Swiftkey 3 being one) are not able to recognize the sdcard partition and won't work properly.

So I played with the boot.img and changed init.picasso.rc a bit:

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard

mkdir /mnt 0775 root system

mkdir /storage 0775 system sdcard_r

mkdir /mnt/sdcard 0000 system system

symlink /mnt/sdcard /sdcard

symlink /mnt/sdcard /storage/sdcard0

That's how the first lines look like now. If anyone is interested, I've attached my boot.img. Just put it on the device, do a "adb shell" and "cat mnt_boot.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p2". However I got some problems with the Google Apps, so I had to reinstall gapps-jb-.... and reenter my account details afterwards. I guess this would not happen after a clean install.

Hope I could've helped someone besides me :laugh:

Meanwhile I was able to get the paid apps to install via Google Play again. Looks like the bin /system/bin/make_ext4fs was missing and old ones do not work (I tried the one from Lighseed 4.8). So I just took the file from a Nexus 7 ROM. Arm is arm, who cares :o

The file is attached, unpack it, push it to the device and make it executable ("chmod 755"). Though I had to make my /system-partition writable. Guess it would be better to pack this executable into a ROM-zip
[Acer Iconia A500] wesvista:
Ok here it is full audio fix for the acer a500 4.1

have fun and i like thanks ;)

No reply's is this good or not because i suck at making flashable zips :p

First time also that google now is working with respons and card's don't know if it is because of this fix :p

Found out that if you flash the rom then reboot then flash google apps google now will work (for me then)
[Acer Iconia A500] andrjas:
Thanks wesvista. That thing is getting more and more usable.

Made me think of making flashable zips as well (for those adb impaired ^^). make_ext4fs is the market fix for paid apps and mnt_boot changes init.picasso.rc in the boot.img (hence so large) as mentioned earlier. Enjoy

question: did anyone else notice this ROM slowing down after a few days? Seemed like i had to reboot to make it fast again. I used it for 3 days. I did notice lag other than that as well. Even on a fresh boot. I'm not sure project butter is what it's cracked up to be, although it is faster than any other version of Android. I guess it's just not as fluid as they (Google) had me anticipating.

I wasn't talking about ICS in general in my previous post. I know we have a fully working stock ICS and some roms based on it. It was about roms that are compiled from source with custom kernels, like CM9, which in my opinion is not fully stable right now on a500 and still have many issues (at least not the last unofficial nightly build attached to CM9 alpha thread). If all the issues are resolved now then I'm sorry. I can only comment on what I can see for myself.

Nice one :). I hope that you haven't received my post to be like that. If you did then I'm sorry about that. And at least I wasn't mad at you :).

well there is a ICS rom built from source with a custom built kernel, its on tegraowners and was built by thor and digetx since november.....its 100% functioning and by far the greatest experience i've had with ICS on this tablet. It also has many CM9 component built in so that should add to your liking....try it out :D and to the developer of this rom congrats on being so fast with your port, even though it's a deal breaker not having wifi work its still nice to see it running on a500, keep up the good work and i can't wait to see what you do when the source is released:victory:

real developers help each other and share their work. Thor takes the work that others share and profits from it via add revenue while never giving anything back - not even the legally required bits.

Though I see what he's doing - I've spent the last half a day helping others get their sdk ports going instead of working on my own port haha
