oh.. f***

all dev are going to brick their device ??

i wonder what acer did with their tabs but something is going wrong !

can you detail a bit ? problem of recovery again ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
I have absolutely no idea what went wrong, the install won't finish so I tried to restart recovery, and the device's in APX mode. The old broken recovery just wreck the emmc but the bootloader still starts, but I can't even get into fastboot with this.

I've flashed so many times and nothing broke, except this time, apparently. I also have no idea why Acer feel the need to lock down their nvflash interface (i.e. the final rescue point for reflashing everything) when their bootloaders are unlocked anyway.

Going to a service center tomorrow.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
i wonder if they used such bad flash memory that bad blocks might kill the tabs ?? may be during the flash process bad blocks usually avoided by the system might be used and then crash some partitions.. ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] imtheyoyo:
I hope service center repair your tablet for free and I hope you comeback quickly. Good Luck.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
do you really think that acer will cover with warranty for free a tab struck on APX, with bootloader unlocked and partition crashed ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
They should cover it. The first time. However, if the same happens again, they may not.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
really,

that's good news as mine was bricked with data partition crashed and bootloop
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
Surprisingly, when I used the program RepliGo PDF to read magazines it had no issue working in portrait mode.

I hope you get your tablet fixed!!!! :(
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
really? no program i used in portrait worked (spotify, flipboard, initial setup of dolphin hd, lockscreen etc etc.)

@pawitp: btw the hardware knob for locking landscape/portraitmode does not work and if you set rotation to of in settings it still rotates in lockscreen - dunno if you aware of that.

cheers
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Awesome!

It might be an idea to make a few screenshots and put them in the first post.

Could anyone make a video? ;)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] FloOGB:
so, as I see it, the issue is formating filesystems (especially /data/ with cwm). what if i erase all the files manually from recovery shell without creating a new FS and then patching the update so it will not format?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
Uploaded new build from latest CM source (almost nothing changed on A700 hardware support part), it's untested (my tablet still in service) but should work like the earlier build.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] FloOGB:
it works
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mcbobo:
Can I flash it on my a701?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
I just loaded the 6.0.1.1 "update1" file and it ran a nandroid backup without issue. I have yet to load the CM10 file, but as a true flash-a-holic, I am sure it will happen before too long.

Thanks again for all your help in the community!!!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
Okay, so as a flash addict, it only took me about an hour to decide to try out the 4.1 JB available for the A700... I liked what I saw, except for the known issues related to screen rendering. It was snappy and took almost no effort to flash and setup. WiFi, and everything else seemed to be working fine, even restored all of my user apps using Ultimate Backup

Thanks again to MD and Pawitp

Going to flash back to the 057 stock ROM until the bugs get a little closer to being worked out.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] sk3201:
You mentioned screen rendering, do you mean the more laggy experience compared to a510 or that cm10 preview improving the speed compared to stock? I m thinking about buying an a700 because I want the higher screen res but lagginess is an absolute no go. Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
The rendering issue relates to how the screen is displayed when in portrait mode. I cuts the screen in thirds while still allowing scrolling and touch input. Otherwise, for the short period I had it loaded, it seemed to be almost fully functional.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] sk3201:
And what about performance?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] imtheyoyo:
This rom is smooth and Fast.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
I only loaded it for about an hour... Just played with it really. It didn't seem all that different from the .057 OEM release from Acer. But it was much less "bloated" for sure.

I never tried my camera, an oversight really, but if the camera and BT are working, then the rendering issue would be the only reason not to run it as your daily driver.

Cheers!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
Camera and BT is working for me - the only annoyance so far is the portrait rendering that makes some apps unusable. rest is performing fine.

cheers
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] fesar:
If I am not a person who uses the portrait mode. Can I go ahead and use this ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
Yes, otherwise runs very well. Keep up but the installation instructions!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] fesar:
Thanks a lot. Will try it tonight and update you...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
Ok, a lot of fun.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
if you stick to the instructions in the first post you'll be fine - been running this rom on my tab since release

cheers
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] strohj:
Yes except that to sign up for Google now, it forces you to use portrait mode
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
Delete. I just read.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
Good news! I've just got my tablet back from repair (hopefully it won't break again). I don't have that much free time on my hand though, so please don't expect major improvements right away.

EDIT: Another good news is that the new CM10 bootanimation will also come in a size format suitable for our high-res screen.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] kiteman44:

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] laloutre:
Great news and thanks in advance :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Good for you Mate! Seems my Service Center got a 700 mainboard and didn't bother to check 3g and such, so now another 3 weeks for the correct mainboard.

Think I'll go get another tab.... By the time it's repaired, they'll have the new Quad x 2 for sale!

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
Well, my service center gave me back a tablet without the proper serial number set because they're still waiting for the file to set it and I'll have to send it back for setting the serial number later. Ironically, I can set it myself right now if I want to, but I don't want to mess with the warranty process.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] enico64:
Thanks for your work, Pawitp

My tab is great with CM10 !
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pseudex:
thanks for this mod. I just flashed it. Sometimes its a bit flickering but overall its working really well and fast!

keep up the good work!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
It appears that the broken portrait mode is an effect of the driver's handling of "transform hint" which is an optimization that lets the GPU handle rotation of the screen image in portrait mode (particularly, only the "width" amount of the "height" is rendered). If this transform hint is disabled, the portrait mode is rendered properly, but will cause portrait mode to not be smooth. I haven't found out why it breaks though, considering that it worked in ICS stock ROM.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Doolittle Duckbill:
A510 screen res for A700 CM10?

@ pawtip:

please see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1843935

would that be difficult for you to do?

(Of course I know rule #1: never ask devs for work, just can´t resist a chance to get CM on my A510)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
The easiest way would be to just copy a700's device repo, change a few things, run fetch script to get all the proprietary files and you can compile CM. It would be beneficial to setup a common repo for both devices as they are very similar. However, I don't have an A510 and, at this point, would not want to maintain a device I do not own.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] oddish2211:
The weird thing is, in most applications like the browser portrait mode appears broken. but in aldiko (an e-book reader) portrait mode works. it appears slow, but that can also be a problem of aldiko.

Except for this i haven't encountered any issues. This rom really is a lot faster than the stock rom!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] FloOGB:
Maybe aldiko forbids use of HW acceleration in its config?

Here's a temporary (and laggy) portrait mode fix by disabling transform hint. Push the apk to /system/app/

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
could you help me a bit here - I pushed it to /system/app - even tried to run it from there (i get an Parse Error) My portrait Mode hasn't changed.

(I've downloaded it again but same error)

thank you

PS: thanks for your Rom update!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
Check permission. It's not a command line executable and you should not be trying to execute it. It just automatically runs on boot to set some debug setting and has no GUI.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
yes you were right i had only user rw on the file - thank you!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
Yesterday I installed your build (20120827) (completly wiped and no backup restored) and played a little bit around. As you said the portrait mode split the screen in two parts of onethird and twothirds.

What's interesting is the behavior of the touch functionality. If you know where the button should be you can tap there and it will do the corresponding action. I tested this with a few apps. Try the calculator (because it has big buttons and the location are easy to approximate). But I think you already know that it is only affecting the graphical part.

Today I tried the app "Gallery". First I played two music clips (one fullhd the other one has a resolution of 2048x1024). Both played well. When the app shows its control structure (usually it appear when you tip on the screen while playing a video) and you change to portrait mode then the screen will get distorted as known. If they are not present then the video is showing correctly in the middle of the screen. If the controls are active in portrait mode (thus showing graphical errors) they will deactivate after a few seconds and shortly after the video will look perfect again.

If you are using Gallery to watch pictures it act a little bit different. The picture is always shown correctly in the whole screen. Only the menubar acts like you have a splitted screen. The menu in the top of the screen will show always the same name of the picture that was shown when going into portrait mode. The menu bar in the "second" part of the screen will change the name while you scroll from picture to picture.

Maybe this will give you a hint where to look deeper for this problem (GPU has problems with using hwa for a few libraries?). Oh ... I did not use FixPortrait.apk .. obviously.

Thanks again for your work.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
Hi Pawitp,

many thanks for all your efforts in the development of this ROM, and by the way also for CM10 on our "oldies" Galaxy S.

I've noticed that USB host does not work yet, I hope this will be implemented soon.

I use Go Launcher HD, it's a little bit buggy, but I will try to use another launcher.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
USB Host works, what device are you trying to use?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
Hi pawitp,

any chance that you also compile the necessay modules for cifs support in one of your next roms? Thx in advance.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
I use a Corsair GT 32GB NTFS format, has worked well with the stock ROM

Envoyé depuis mon A700 avec Tapatalk
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
There is no NTFS support in stock Android thanks to its proprietary nature. The next build will have read only NTFS support but don't hold your breath for write support as that is not as simple as enabling a kernel option. Write NTFS support requires the ntfs3g userspace filesystem to be integrated into CyanogenMod.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
... So I have a 640GB USB hard drive that works flawlessly on the stock ROM, but doesn't work at all on the CM10. So I guess I am out of luck?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
If anyone happen to be jumping between stock and CM, can you help me check if the WiFi MAC address is the same between both ROMs?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] enico64:
They are the same for me
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
Hi Pawitp, read NTFS is more than OK, me, and probably the most of us have no need to write on NTFS volumes.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
pawitp-

I reverted back to the stock and the mac address are the same...

Any thoughts on the USB mounting issue? I have a thumb-drive that I could get to mount, but only if it was attached to the tab when I rebooted... all seems very odd.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Downloading now. I will try to mount my USB drive again... hopefully the NTFS read support will solve the connection issue. The CM10 build is much smoother than stock and I would really love to stay on it?

Can I dirty flash today's build over the previous one?

Thanks again for your time and efforts on this tab... seems that you are the only one showing the A700 any real love. ;)

Cheers!

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
Thx for cifs support. CIFS Manager runs fine (didn't test other apps because this is the only one I found that handles the smb protocol well enough to connect to my opensolaris file server).

I also tested two external hdds with NTFS and I could access and read both. Write speeds to internal sdcard with very big files are around 7-8 MB/s (both external are much faster on my desktops).

Goddamn ... I still love my A700 :laugh:.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
Mechkilla-

Are your external HDDs USB? Do the have external power supplies? What kind of enclosure are they in?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BonzenPaule:
Hi, i am using your firmware for a half day day now and I can say it runs pretty good. I had to shutdown my tab 2 times because of bugs but overall it runs really stable. at first I was a bit disappointed with the performance of cm10 and jelly bean. it was not so smooth and "butery" as I hoped it to be. Maybe because this is just an alpha version. but after installing a task manager and freeing up the ram it runs better now and smoother then the official firmware. (after installing it only had 100 MB of free ram)

Im looking forward to test new updates from you, so thank you so much for your work and keep it up :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Mechkilla:
The first one is a Fantec case (with USB 2.0/3.0 and eSata) for 3.5" HDDs and own power supply. The second one is a small case for 2.5" HDDs with power supply over USB 2.0.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] cocoman93:
thanks for this AWESOME ROM!!! although it is alpha, it is already better than the acer a700 stock rom. :D

and i have to report a bug:

videorecording in 720p and 1080p does not work.

Edit:

There is another bug:

when you have folders/files with special character like ü, ä and so on ntfs usb drive, copying and reading files does not work
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
Hi, thanks a lot for the NTFS read integration.

I have another unsolved issue, all my launchers are not running stable, they (trebuchet, go launcher, apex or nova) crashes all the times after a few actions.

Any idea what I can do or check?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BonzenPaule:
Try "GO Launcher HD" it's working without any problems for me. Maybe 1 freez in 3 das but it could have been something different.

An alternative is SPB Shell 3D. Going so far with any version of CM 10. With trebuchet I have some problems with the links. Can not be removed.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
Yes, thank you for this tip, I know SPB shell, but 10 eur for a launcher, it's a quite expensive.

Probably all launchers are not yet JB optimized, and I hope they will be soon fixed to run under JB
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Uschinator:
I had the same problem with the built in trebuchet launcher. The trick for me was to enable the permanent search bar from google. Normally i deactivate this. but after deactivation the launcher crashes. so i reactivated it and the launcher works normally. :D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
I have perhaps a solution, I have switch totally hazardous the wallpaper from CM10 to a go launcher HD wallpaper, and then, no freeze, I work since few hours without freeze. I will rollback to the CM10 wallpaper and see if it freeze again, or not...

no.. forget it, this morning Go Launcher HD has crashed again, this was really pure hazard!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
After flashing the 9-2 build, it all started working fine. Thanks.

Now I have a new question: Is anyone else having WiFi drop out and not come back? I have had to do a full restore several times to get WiFi to connect. It is not that I do not have WiFi, but that it loops thru trying to connect to any network.

Just curious if I am the only one having issues?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Gregork:

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
I don't know, obviously because I don't have one. You can try at your own risk and tell the others if it worked or not. But of course, 3G wouldn't work.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] :
Is it possible for you to add the 3g Modem driver ? i would test the build for you.

It would be perfect to have jelly bean on my a701.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
I don't have the time right now, but sometimes the RIL requires quite an extensive debugging. So unless it just works when I add it, it wouldn't be possible to do it remotely.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] :
May you could do one experimental build, if you got the time for it. Maybe we are lucky enought and the RIL works OTB. If not I´ll do my best in compiling and porting to get it working.

Thank You
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] cocoman93:
not at all. it is laggy and a few crashes here and there (browser etc.). but it is already better than the stock rom. I can recommend this rom, considering it is still alpha. I hope that this rom will have a better performance in new updates.

THANKS pawitp! I only kept my a700 because of your rom :D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
It's not as simple as "doing an experimental build", I will have to explore on the device and such on how it works first.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] intox2001:
thanks for the rom, really better than stock!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
If it's anything like the 500/501, the 3g shares the USB port. Also, GPS is an issue as well, as they use different GPS hardware, so I expect the same with the 700/701. on CM10, we got the 3g working well, but stonewalled at the GPS. Seems it doesn't like the new bootloaders. More than likely permissions issue.

So folks, it's not as easy as adding a couple of files as Pawitp has already said.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
No wipe necessary when moving between CM10 builds, as mentioned in the installation instruction (wipe only if coming from stock).

There are no device-specific changes in this build, general CM changes (i.e. upstream merge) can be viewed at http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/

pretty strange
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
It has never been fixed unless you've applied the hack (FixPortrait.apk) posted earlier in this thread.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
Hi Pawitp,

thank you for thie new build, no issue so far, except with the crash with the launchers, Nova, Go Launcher HD, Apex, and also Trebuchet. I have tested SPB Shell 3D, but it crashed directly, and I have directly uninstall it to avoid to lose 10$. I think all this launchers are not JB optimized. Yesterday I have installed ADW Launcher EX, it works very smooth and I have no crash, hopefully one launcher that works stable with this ROM.

But a question, why is your CM10 "UNOFFICIAL", what do you have to do to become OFFICIAL? Because you are also the developer of the OFFICIAL CM10 version for the Galaxy S.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Buster99:
curious... with adw ex i have only rendering issues but nova works fine (and nova is for jb, adw ex hasnt been updated in ages)

cheers
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Fooox1:
If yes then just lie on the version. I'm using the 1.5.3 with all CM 10 without problems.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
All builds not built by the CM build server (and thus meaning that all sources used for the build may not be available on CM github) are required to be marked as UNOFFICIAL (previously KANG). For it to be official, it must be submitted to CM, which cannot happen right now due to the portrait mode bug.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] 0nebukadnezar0:
Hi, thanks, now it's clear.

This is really curious with the launchers... I got the first crash also with ADW Launcher :( but only after 10 folders have been created, other launchers has also started to crash after the creation of 10 or more folders!

Pawitp, the sound coming out from the speakers is relatively from bad quality, with the stock ROM and the "dolby" option enable it was most better. Is there any chance to improve the sound quality?

I have tested DSP Manager, but I don't hear differences.
