Thanks once again for such a Quick Response.

This is What I worry about being a NewBuB with the A100. From Past Experience with TWRP it does Back Up Boot but with the Craziness of this A100's Boot Loader is what has Me Scared. Just Taken Precautions if you know what I Mean.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Boot and bootloader are different, boot is the kernel and ram disk which doesn't affect the boot loader. The boot loader calls on boot to start android. Backing up and restoring boot is recommended with the rest of the backup and restore.

Back to Stock

It is a strange thing, but ZeroNull, the autor of the unlocked bootloader, suggested me to lock bootloader by flashing the stock ics. And everything was fine. I think, you should add to your first post that flashing honeycomb while somebody on custom rom will brick a tablet, but flshing the stock ics on a custom rom is ok. It is proved by me and some other persons from the other forum.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Not quite understanding what you are saying, flashing a stock ics on a custom rom is fine because it puts a stock rom with stock boot loader, this doesn't add anything different from what I posted.

If you mean stock ics boot loader on custom rom it will lock it out, period.

Maybe I'm just not understanding what you meant.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ilyuha1108:
I mean that if somebody want to lock his bootloader he should flash the official ics in recovery and everything will be fine.But locking the bootloader by script or flashing official honeycomb wiil lead to unrecoverable tablet. Now is it clear?

I just practice my english skills :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
From the way I understand it that would be playing with fire, I take it that one should never restore an OTA update.zip from custom recovery while running unlocked bootloader, and one should never try to lock the boot loader from custom recovery via script.. Restoring a stock ROM from recovery via nandroid backup is different than trying to flash the .zip from recovery. I'm not really sure why anyone would even want to attempt flashing an OTA update.zip from custom recovery, as the first rule of thumb when modding your device is to create a nandroid backup of your original unmodded install, so why not just restore that? Why would you want to intentionally lock the bootloader unless you have bricked the device already and wanting to send off for repair???
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
OK I think I get what you mean now. As Linux society mentioned above, flashing stock from cwm or twrp usually fails (as mentioned in the OP) to install system, but does install the boot loader which locks you out. Its happened before.

This post wasnt about how to lock it or whatever, it was a warning about locking it on a custom ROM and recovery and the usual mistakes made that lead to it. Locking it safely is another topic for another thread.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] b1lk1:
And this is why I said earlier that most people flashing these devices are the real problem. This is an easy device to brick compared to many. I've improperly flashed my Optimus One so many times and oft bricked it yet it is easy to recover. I have little sympathy for people that flash before reading. You have the patience of a saint pio.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
aint that the truth, and then the irony of the whole thing, the one that makes the guides and provides tons of courtesy to the community ends up getting a random emmc failure that bricks his. I'd be sick keeping on with people who won't listen if it was me. all i know is everyone here should just READ pio's guides and his threads/posts from the past 2 weeks, it will serve them well and at least make them think twice before they do something off the wall, well maybe ... there is always those people who are like "I want to see what it does, that sounds cool, I want a brick" or at least it seems there are a few like that..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] peporras:
¿Would it be possible to create an unlocked bootloader and conforming to the resolution of our A100 with the original image and to remove the fudge we have with the boot loader of A200?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Its been asked before but no idea if anything came of it. I think its just the blobs as they come from Acer, just the a200 happened to be unlock able and work with the a100.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] linuxsociety:
I hope a lot of users don't read this the way I did and assume it is 100% safe to go into TWRP and flash a stock ROM. This is not good, although it may have worked for you by following step by step procedures given to you by the creator of the bootloader, you can't just put out there that it is ok to flash stock roms from custom recovery. Whether ICS will work and HC will not, doesn't really make a difference, things like this is what leads to more people posting in 'The brick Thread'

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] max69power:
I think a big thing is be aware of what is on your SD card if you have an old Update.zip or any other ROM on your SD card remove it after you are done with it. I had an old update.zip on my SD card when i had the freeze and crash when my emmc went.

It was not the reason since i was not flashing i just had the browser open but it made me realise if you make a mistake with that there you may be screwed.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] droidxxxxx:
So, if I understand correctly.. once its unlocked.. never try and flash a "stock" ROM while its unlocked? I am unclear on how to go back to stock, although I don't think I'll ever have the need to.. If I am on a custom recovery, unlocked, and a custom ROM (cm 10 nightlies) for instance..is OK to lock the bootloader with the intention of then flashing a stock ROM? I guess I'm unclear on when to lock the boot loader, unroot, and flash stock..
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Flash stock recovery, use an Acer update.zip and let it to it all. Never lock it yourself. Never flash stock from a custom recovery.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] OrrinFox:
Two small questions

So, Im in a small situation which I reall hope you can help me out with, I really like your work here and think its amazing!

I've bricked my A100 a couple of times (what can i say i like experimenting as well) and I really dont enjoy sending it off to texas after the recovery fails (im sure youve seen this before "dead android" its annoying). What I was wondering, is if I could have this kind of as an emergency backup to recover the entire image and the stock ROM in the event that the acer bricks up again.

Basically my intention here is maybe using this as a back up in case of "bricking" so yeah. any suggestions about that?

Also.. is there any way i could flash it back to the stock rom if say, I did flash a custom rom on it? Just out of curiosity, again the experimental coming out again.

Thanks for the help and all the information youve put up, really useful!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
What you're looking for is nvflash, we are locked out of using it, so we have no real fail safe on these.

There is a thread to return to stock ICS and recovery, though, which may help with one of your questions.

[Motorola Droid X2] matthewgifford1984:
I want to start off with a pre-apology for not keeping up on this Android / Smartphone stuff.

Here's the deal:

Never really used my Droid X2 much until it started acting weird after I let a "friend" use it. I find out a little later, Said "friend" used my roommate's computer to help him "cleanup" his files and help secure the wifi. After realizing what might have happened I checked out the roomies PC. I have no idea what he did specifically, but now im trying to download device drivers, look at files through an explorer, etc. and I can't do any administration stuff. I tried using my restriction lock for outgoing calls cuz Skype is goin NUTZ now but I dunno if its actually working when I see the "calls disable" prompt pop up randomly like someones trying to use the line. I have all these program package installer apps running in the background as well as Motorola service apps that I've never downloaded myself.

After research I think he setup his own driver while using my phone and my roomies comp (i honestly was asleep & I trusted chillin wit the kidso I'm sure he saw my unlock code... TOTAL mistake) that has something to do with android SDK and writing code for it and then continuing his "project" (my Droid x2) remote from wherever he was after while somehow maintaining a good network connection either through my Droid or my roomies wifi, which I used everytime I'm home cuz it saved data.

I've learned, or read, a lot... but I don't understand the basics or the foundations here. And everytime I try to follow a step by step process, I'm somehow not permission denied

Plz help

[Samsung Infuse 4G] JoeyofBladez:
Hey all, I'm using UOT Kitchen to change my status bar icons and battery icon. The battery worked out fine but the status bar icons are being a little uncooperative. The signal bar icons change sometimes, but often revert back to stock signal bars. The fact that the look keeps changing is annoying. I've read that it's because UOT gives the images the wrong names in the .zip, and I need to change the names for the phone to display the images at the right time. But question is, how do I do this? I assume I'd have to match each image to the corresponding stock image and make them have the same name, then just replace the images in the systemui.apk file, if possible.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Yep that should do the trick...you can use 7zip to browse the files of an apk

If that doesn't work then you may have to decompile the apk.and do some smali/and or xml edits...I really depends on the icons you choose I think...what you would be doing is changing the references from stock to the uot
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JoeyofBladez:
While in 7zip viewing the .png images, I click on them and Windows Photo Viewer comes up... but for some reason, no image loads. How can I view the images in the .apk so I can tell which images match up? I need to view the .png files but it doesn't seem to want to let me see a preview with Windows Photo Viewer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
You can extract them then view them, edit them, rename them etc...once your done with your edits just delete the old ones from the APK and add your new modified/renamed one...

The only images you can't edit (you can still rename...just make sure you leave the ".9" in front of the ".PNG" ) are .9.pngs -if you want to actually edit a .9.png with you will need to decompile the apk with apktool...and even then they still need to be edited in a special way. In case your wondering a .9.PNG is basically an image with no set dimension...as in it can be minipulated by .xmls to stretch (an example of one is the message box in the SMS app...the longer the text message the bigger the message box...it gets stretched down)

That's what I was thinking of. I know the remote desktop clients are a little laggy on tablets and maybe not ideal, but at the very least it would be fun to paint with the Note on my PC. I don't know how small the market is for using this tablet like a wacom pad, and the note 10.1 is kind of niche on it's own, but for people like me who draw casually and don't want to drop more cash on a wacom it's ideal.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brocken_5110:
As a USB-conncected input peripheral - probably not. "Penabled" digitizers such as the one in the SGN10.1 use a different set of software drivers than the Intuos and Bamboo non-display digitizers. This is because the underlying hardware is different; Penabled styli cannot be used interchangeably with Intuos/Bamboo styli, although many of the nibs (regular, felt, stroke) can fit either type of stylus. Technically it may be possible, but Wacom probably wants to maintain a clear distinction between its' product lines.

With remote desktop software - yes, but there may be mismatches of screen resolution which would complicate fine-line drawing control, and pressure response would be lost. And added lag due to the remote connection.

Best to get a Bamboo or Intuos if you really need a graphics tablet for a desktop/laptop - the software drivers allow scaling the digitizer area to single and multiple displays; more levels of pressure response; and stylus tilt response and touchpad controls are available on the Intuos series. (But not cheap - the Intuos 6x8 runs about $350.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBBGBA:
Search for a cheaper intuous 2, 3 or 4 used. They are good tablets, the new ones are not that different in functionality, just thinner (the 4 is just as thin as the 5) as an added bonus you gain pen rotation and the eraser on the other side of the pen (which I use but not everybody does).

If you really want something smaller and don't care about the rotation of the pen then get a bamboo (as usual if you want slightly cheaper get a used older model).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brocken_5110:
Yes, good advice - my Intuos2 from 2002 is still good. Doesn't have the touchpad controls of the current Intuos5, but works fine. Wacom driver updates still include the Intuos2, from WinXP to Win7, and probably beyond. Styli, nibs, and most accessories are still available for the Intuos2 as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayle87:
Getting a Galaxy Note at the end of the week, this is the first thing that crossed my mind, if it could double as a Cintiq. My best guess is that its possible, specially considering the power inside the tablet, and maybe a usb 3.0 connection -____- Still haven't seen any sofware up to it though. I would gladly pay for any software that enabled this. Otherwise, I guess Sketchbook Pro for Android will do, I have used it with a capacitive stylus (ugh) and it did ok, can't wait to get Wacom superpowers on the go =) I also own an old HP PC tablet with an active digitizer, but its to heavy lo lug around daily, and a wacom bamboo for my PC tower, so I have high expectations on this. I just cannot wait to put my hands on the Note.

BTW for the phone Note, there is this, dunno if it works on the tablet:
