[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Easy as pie. Flash the stock 3.1 (Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1.zip) AFTER WIPING SYSTEM/CACHE/DATA/DELVIC, reboot, then ota to ICS. After you do the first OTA to 3.2 and it reboots it will say a Flashing Bootloader message then reboot with all stock everything.

Here's a link to it in my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fpdy13u4ufec461/Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1.zip
[Acer Iconia A500] rnscotch:
That was along the lines of what i thought... but i did not want to just do it without checking.

Thanks for the link and post.
[Acer Iconia A500] stinkytoes:
Hi there,

Did you get back to stock ICS using this method?

I want to get back to stock ICS so I can use AFTEROTA to unlock my bootloader the "easy" way. - I tried installing some "stock" roms last night but (3.2) but none of them offered me the ICS OTA.

I assume that to do the OTA I just go into the settings under About Tablet >System updates and check from there?

Are there any regional restrictions on the OTA? - I know Australia is sometimes behind with android updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Just grab that rom from my post and flash it in CWM after wiping.

You are correct. System/about/update all the way to ICS.

I have no idea... But I doubt it.
[Acer Iconia A500] stinkytoes:
Thanks JdgM3NT4L,

I installed the the rom but when I go into System/about/update it comes up with:

No update

Your device is up to date.

I did not log in to my google account - but I doubt that would have anything to do with the Acer update.

Any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Give it a few days. Also, check the market and make sure the Iconia Update Enhancement is shown as installed. It should be. If not, install it.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] stinkytoes:
Thanks MD,

Will give it a shot.
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
If waiting it out takes more time that you want you could go to blackthund3r's thread in the Dev section here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1816560, and grab the OTA's.

I have no idea about getting OTA's when not in the United States. It's seems strange to me because immediately after booting my tab and updating the Enhancement App my updates are available right away.

Please share your results and what you had to do to get updated. Especially if anything is different than expected. I'm hoping that it OTA's for you without a problem.

Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] stinkytoes:
Still waiting on the update - I am not in a rush. Will let you know when it comes through

Thanks for the help
[Acer Iconia A500] stinkytoes:
Still waiting on the OTA....

Am getting impatient. I think I will try this:

reading the thread it says that they should be flashed by the stock recovery - however my recovery is not stock - it is touch based on Ra recovery.

how do I go about flashing these if my recovery is not stock?
[Acer Iconia A500] stinkytoes:
Finally gave up waiting and manually flashed the OTA. Then it was easy to use afterota to install bootloader and recovery. not sure why I didn't get the OTA from Acer.

[23AUG] "Hacked" Play Store 3.8.17.4 (Wishlist, delta "smart" updates, gift cards)

Hey guys,

I was looking for this yesterday and I found nothing, so I decided to "hack" the Play Store apk myself.

It's just 3.8.17 Play Store with Wishlist and (US only for now) gift cards activated.

How to install (or update)

[Android Software Development] webDeWo:
They aren't. It enables both them and wishlist. Both are fully usable, however there's no way to buy any gift code ATM ;)

Can I ask if this is dpi hacked? As in for those who have a dpi of 162 like me :cool: it will fix the market incompatibility error?

If not how can I hack it to force the market to use a set dpi? Instead of reading my build.prop?
[Android Software Development] webDeWo:
Nope, it's not. I can hack it if you want.
[Android Software Development] webDeWo:
OK, updated to 3.8.15.3. See changelog.

[Android Software Development] AngelFeoras:
Hi, and thanks for sharing your work.

I have one question though : if I install an app while on the play store website on the PC, it will still download it to my phone with this hacked store ?

I'm sorry if I don't make any sense, English isn't my native language.
[Android Software Development] webDeWo:
Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean :)
[Android Software Development] elesbb:
Can I ask what you did to change it? I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time. Plus sorry to be a pain but can you get rid of just device restrictions and not auto updating the market? I wouldn't mind if the market updated itself

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

the answer is yes.

He's talking about going to play. Google. Com and installing an app from there. But Google services framework is what handles that (if I'm not mistaken)
[Android Software Development] webDeWo:
I just modified the function that checks whether the application is available for user to always return true. Simple, isn't it? :)
[Android Software Development] elesbb:
Can you post the code? :3 and you use baksmali or?
[Android Software Development] webDeWo:
I won't share the code (Google would probably kill me ;)). And yes, baksmali via apktool.

[Android Software Development] NiMH_999:
It worked for me. Thank you so much.

NB. I had to rename to PlayStore.apk and removed the file with the same name then I replaced it.

Also, is it me or this new app is faster than the original?

Anyways thanks again.

Not working for me

Play Store not loading at all after installation. Getting: "unfortunately, google play store has stopped."

This happens every time I try to run it. I followed the install instructions. I'm running SUPERLITE CM10 JB.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: turns out the force close happens every time I try to download an app. When I go back to clear data, Play Store runs fine, until I try to download an app again.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
Galaxy S3, GS3, new flagship, quad core, yada yada yada. We hear something new about the Galaxy S3 everyday it seems, and with all the hype surrounding it, its predecessor, the Galaxy S2, seems to be missing out on the 4.1 fun. Where’s the Jelly Bean love for the flagship phone that sold over 20 million devices? Where is it Sammy? I’m looking around but all I see is Ice Cream and Gingerbread lying around. Will Samsung leave GS2 owners hanging? And what's with the Galaxy Note? Will you leave them "beanless"? Apparently not, as we have now received confirmation that the Android Jelly Bean update will be rolling out to a Galaxy SII (and Note) near you within the next 10 weeks.

Hallelujah holla back (too much?)! The info comes from the insiders of SamMobile, who reported yesterday that Samsung is currently testing the update, and preparing a public version that GS2 owners can install via Kies. If there are no hiccups, the update is expected to drop in September or October.

But what about Samsung’s surprise hit, the Galaxy Note? Where’s the bean Sammy? Well according to Sammobile, it’s also on its way (time frame not yet confirmed):

“Now we know the Galaxy S II is to get Jelly Bean we are also 100% sure for the Galaxy Note now too!”.

While Samsung hasn’t confirmed any of this directly (yet), Sammobile is known for having a very reliable reputation when it comes to device updates, and while it’s naturally possible that they could miss (even Kobe misses a dunk every now and then), I feel very confident that their source is reliable and that an update will roll out in September or October (GS2).

The Jelly Bean update is a massive one in terms of speed, performance, smoothness, and under the hood features (and some UI changes), and I’m very sure that Galaxy S2 and Note owners will be very happy with how their devices perform after receiving it.

If all this information is indeed accurate, HTC, Sony, LG, and Motorola have a lot of catching up to do in the update department.

Hi,

I am using Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) model since one year. Recently I have upgraded from Froyo to Ginger Bread (2.3.3) in Samsung service center. Before I can able to see my SMS messages in full view using 'View Message' option from 'Select Action' after tapping on any message in the thread. Now when i tap on the message, it opens the pop-up window 'Select Action' with link text (number or web link) which have in message. But 'View Message' option is not appearing in 'Select Action' window which works before upgrade OS. Please let me know the way that how enables the 'View Message' option.

Thanks in Advance.

I know my phone. We are very intimate. I know just where to touch her. I don't need the keys blinding me. Can I disable them, permanently? I never want to see these light up again!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
That is the million dollar question.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Hahahaha that made me laugh. But no you can't disable them as far as I know but on my s3 you can with screen filter and its so nice for using at night
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] solrac1212:
No that's a bug in cm9 and all ics roms
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
If you really want to disable them permanently, it's a one-line change in the kernel. You basically don't tell it where the light switch is .

Which ROM are you using?

Posted from my AOKP-ified SGS4G
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Guinness Draught:
Beam
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Ok what are we waiting for....wheres the fix? :)

Damn day job... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Lol :).....i say that about my night job heh
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Is it really that simple? Which line in the kernel is it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
gpio_direction_output(_3_GPIO_TOUCH_EN, onoff);

Well damn, looks like that might not only have turned off the backlight, but also the ability to use the button. Black electrician's tape is probably an easier solution if that was your goal.

Somehow I think you still want to be able to use the buttons though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pisherthefisher:
Isn't there another line of code that tells how bright the keys can be? Is it possible to set that at 0?

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Also could you upload the kernel where the back light keys don't turn on and don't work? I think it would be useful for people who want to use the ice cream sandwich soft keys
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I'm not trying to hinder development, but in my opinion I would rather them spend their time on stuff that is less cosmetic... that stuff can come later because there are more important issues they are working on. I'm sure it will one day get fixed... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Sometimes a little distraction is nice. Trust me, after you've been staring at VCO divider tables for a while, something simple like "Can you just turn off this light?" is a good way to improve productivity. I'm back in the tables again this morning, but this gives me something interesting and rewarding to do during the roughly hour and a half a full build takes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Pfft!

no one here is asking the main devs for this fix anymore....its already been said several times they dont know....sooo maybe other people in here can try to figure out a fix.

So have a nice day.

Also its not just so "cosmetic" as you think.....the people that are on ics based roms would truely appreciate this fix due to the amount of battery life gained if those damn lights didnt stay on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
I would like to know which line this is as well. I dont need extra keys in beam. I want just the hard keys
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rbedell:
I do agree that it would be nice. Think about it the only time the lights are on is if the screen is on, if the screen is on, chances are you are touching the screen unless you are watching a movie... there are a few roms out that don't have this problem like the beam port... Maybe compare roms and kernels? There is bound to be a solution. I hope you find your answer and sorry i wasn't trying to blast anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Its all good....i watch alt of movies while sitting at the back gates waiting for the parks to empty out at Disney so i can go to work and the those lights are quite annoying in the dark watching movies lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lonoguge:
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Theres an app called screen filter on the market that does the trick by turning off the softkeys umtil you actually click them details are on my capacitive buttons thread.

Hi, guys! I'm getting this error and I know I have installed many apps and flashing different ROMs makes me use the TB a lot.

So, there are apps that I no longer needed. I deleted it/unistalled then deleted it using TB. But, I read somewhere online that

the .odex files of each of those apps must be deleted as well because those are no longer needed since the apks are no longer

present/active inside our phone. THose are the ones that uses the storage space somehow.

So, my questions is... How can I deleted the odex files of all those apps I deleted, all at once? Do I need to remember each app I have deleted and

delete one by one? How exactly am I going to resolve this?

If someone could upload their own recovery files for me to simply transfer and use that would be great! Or supply the Android 2.3.4 stock rom for the LG Optimus maybe. I have tried to load a differen't ROM but wven that fails it just says in Boot Recovery that the .zip cannot be accessed and has at the end (Bad) in those brackets.
