I have long loved XDA. When I got my first smart phone, a Samsung Captivate, I was directed to this sight. Thanks to all the community members and their hard work, I was able to learn all the ins and outs of android phones from updating them to the newest Roms and kernels to dealing with any problems that crop up to unbricking my phone when I thought it was a goner.

Now it is my time to say thanks to everyone and contribute what I can, so thank you and I will be giving what helpful feedback I can to all the wonderful developers.

Hi guys

Today i tried [Erachter ROM v1] on my Acro S and it's work fine :cool: except SD card Support

because XS don't have SD card outlet .

I will try some other roms soon :good:. if you tried one tell us please

this is some pics from my device :)

you don't have to flash 3.Flash binary recovery or 7.Flash a kernel (i recommend XSX kernel v5)

just flash Rom.zip from recovery and do full wipe

I hope there is more people who will dev on this phone. Im planning to buy this phone soon. Sorry for the off topic :) and btw thanks for deving this phone :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chriscai1987:
I am looking foward this too. Hope Xperia S and ACRO S can use same ROM resource. BTW, for the SD card issue, please try to replace one file named f....k-res.apk under f....k folder.

thank you for sharing
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AL PRINCE-:
where is that ? :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
Have you tried flashing the CWM Kernel for Acro S afterwards? This should fix the missing SD-card.

However, normally every Xperia S ROM should be working, the problem is the AROMA-Installer that most Devs are using to customize the ROM. The Acro S does not recognize this installer and therefore stops the flashing process.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chriscai1987:
It's under system\framework\framework-res.apk

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

Where can we find this CWM Kernel for Acro S? How can we flash it? Could you please give some instruction?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
For CWM Kernel just follow the instructions HERE
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chriscai1987:
I tired this but the SD card still cannot use. I flashed a ROM that from XS and the ROM developer suggest me to replace one file named framwork-res.apk under system\framework folder that can fix the SD card issue. Why replace this file can fix SD card issue?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
I'm not sure but it could be a good possibility that the external drive is defined in the framework. It's not a big deal to exchange the file but root is needed for it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chriscai1987:
Yes I have rooted the device. If this is really work, can we transplant more XS ROM to ACRO S?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chriscai1987:
Flash the CWM Kernel for Acro S still cannot make SD card work. Please further help!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
I wanna flash Touch through Odin (unless there's an easier way) but will having regular clockwork installed hurt anything if I flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Flash touch over regular cwm via ez recovery. It's fine. Don't use odin to flash recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
Thanks! Did that and it worked!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nighthawk34691:
FYI...it would be better if you ran CWM 6.0.1.0 instead of CWM Touch...ive had better results with the newer version, if you're interested in trying it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
I actually used CMW to flash 6.0.1.2 over 6.0.1.0 as opposed to using EZ recovery. I used EZ Recovery to get 6.0.1.0 on the phone in the first place. I do this because the first S3 I tried to use the custom option in EZ Recovery on was soft bricked upon flash completion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
t h turkick

Agreed, just use the CWM ROM Manager app to flash on the most current 6.0.1.2. You can also flash most recent touch recovery through the app as well, that option is at the bottom. I use the touch while I am using ICS roms, but when I start playing with JB developments, I flash back to 6.0.1.2 standard recovery. Though I have not experienced any issues with touch and JB, the developers warn in bold to not use it with JB roms. CWM is updated more frequently than the EZ recovery app, and why use an outside source to flash CWM anyways? EZ recovery is good to start out with because of its different recovery options, but ultimately is not better that the actual recovery source app CWM.
[Acer Iconia A500] ybarra:
I've got a couple ICS 8GB A500's I'm trying to flash so I can do the memory swap thing with 16gb microsd's. I'm stuck at the very beginning trying to get an unlocked bootloader and clockworkmod installed.

I've followed several of the guides and they all seem to be failing at the same spot. I've done blackthund3r and afterota and V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm script with no luck.

I'm pretty sure the problem is something to do with my BCT. Running afterota to flash or blackthund3r w/o custom BCT each puts the tablet into the recovery mode but nvflash errors on a bunch of partition commands and fails to upload the images (afterota sticks on 3/5 for instance or blackthund3r hangs uploading the bootloader).

My guess is that it's because my BCT is different from the majority of every elses because I'm using the little 8gb version.

I tried blackthund3r using the extract BCT, but it simply hangs immediately after loading the bct and never gets the tablet into recovery mode. I looked at the extracted bct.dec, and it looks like the same few bytes repeated over and over (nothing like the default bct's) so I'm pretty sure that blackthund3r is failing to extract my BCT properly.

Can anyone assist me in getting a valid bct.bct for my 8gb devices so I can make some forward progress? (calling Blackthund3r if you're out there...)

Version info according to afterota. I also have the serial, cpuid, and sbk according to afterota:

Android Build: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1

Bootloader	: 0.03.12-ICS
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
The only way to fix bct errors usually is to roll back to HC via timmydeans v4 or with srbeens direct nvflash command... if u have Ubuntu try nvflash with it

One thing tho is I don't know if the partitions, bct are the same for the 8gb - guess only one way to find out aye:)

U myt wanna look at jdgment3ls easy pass thread regarding reverting to stock

Let us know how u get on, good luck!
[Acer Iconia A500] ybarra:
I tried using jdgment3ls method and that failed (I got the acer icon with the red letters about failed validation or something...can't remember).

I went with timmydeans v4 and boom...back on honeycomb. From there acer recovery got me clockwork. I also ran blackthund3r's upgrader with default bct and it worked perfectly this time so now I have a hacked ICS bootloader and clockwork recovery. As soon as the ICS rom finishes I should be back to ICS and can restore my data.

Thanks for the help.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
oh, "boot recovery failed"?? thanks for testing it out, was worth a go;)

just a note, tdv4 has cwm pre-installed

Fantastic, pleased it worked for u:)

ICS???? Stock???? this will overwrite yr recovery with the stock recovery??

The procedure requires u to put a rom on yr card to flash straight into after patching the BL - most folk flash one of the many custom roms - let us know please how u get on with this!!!

nps thanks for posting back, will help others who may be in similar situation!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] ybarra:
Sure, I was just trying to figure out what did or didn't work after I used tdv4. It appears that it returned my system to "normal" so all the usual tools worked like acer recovery, blackthund3r, etc. I can only speculate that maybe the out-of-the-box 8gb had a different BCT and tdv4 has set it like everyone else's now.

Yes, I returned the system to ICS Stock after validating that blackthund3r worked (it of course overwrote the bootloader). From there I rerooted it with blackthund3r and removed the .sh script that deletes custom recoveries. I then reused blackthund3r to put a patched bootloader and recovery back on. I'll probably look at custom roms later, but for now I just wanted to get to stock w/ the custom bootloader & recovery and root and then use cwm to flash the memory swap mod.

For the record, I used Titanium backup. It failed to backup and restore the Minecraft maps, pictures/videos, and one or two game settings so I lost all of that. Is there a better backup program to use before tdv4? I usually just use the one built into CWM, but obviously I couldn't get to that one before tdv4 on this unit.

I am on a rooted stock s3 that isn't running a custom rom just stock twiz. Everytime i set my tones they reset after awhile or after a restart. I've tried moving the tones from my external sd to the internal but with no luck. I can't get off the stupid whistle :mad:. Anyone know why this is happening?:confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aklyrical:
Maybe try; Messaging -> Settings (menu button) and notifications
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] billnye1999:
Yeah i tried that but when i force the tone it doesn't stick either. I currently have it set to default to eliminate any possible confusion. Its like the phone loses the link to the tones. I can always rechoose the custom tones when they are reset so i don't know how to fix it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You could try copying them to /system/media/audio/

I know you shouldn't have to but till you find a fix...

Ok I have been searching everywhere (probably just overlooked it) but I really want to know if there is anyway to get a ICS themed search bar in Jelly Bean. I have an all black background and the Jelly Bean search bar looks horrible (filled in grey). The ICS search bar was very clean with just boarders, it was perfect. I don't want a custom launcher, my ROM is set up perfect for my liking just want to know if there is a mod to change this. Thank you in advance.

glad it worked out for you. Also, apex launcher is awesome. You will find that apex and nova are similar, but you will also find they have their fanboys who insist that one is cool and the other sucks. Both can be made to look stock and both can change the search bar to ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Well IMO, Apex is better when free.

Nova is better if you pay for it because it is much more polished looking.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Xelstyle:
Likely to be upgrading from my Prime to the Infinity soon and was wondering if I should bother saving myself some money in not getting a full body skin for my tablet.

I know that there were a lot of recommendations for protecting the Prime's aluminium backing as it was seen to be extremely easy to scratch. Is the Infinity's back made of the same easily scratched material, save for the plastic strip?

Better yet, wanting to hear about those who have attempted to keep their tablets out of a case and skin protector.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Here's my experience... I have the keyboard dock and leave my TF700 docked almost all of the time. The back is very easy to scratch, but I'm *very* careful with my devices and have not put any type of protection on the TF700 outer shell. Again, being very careful, I have not had any scratches or anything, but I have read reports that it's easy to scratch the aluminum... I transport my docked TF700 in a "Swiss" brand "sleeve", which works well (and also has a zippered compartment for accessories, which is nice). Purchased this @ Walmart (wasn't cheap, but...).

Regarding the screen - I originally put an anti-glare protector on my TF700 after about a week of dealing with the glare and fingerprints - it was great for reducing glare (duh!) and was *awesome* for reducing all of the fingerprints and smudges on the screen - overall I was happy with it. However, after having the anti-glare on for a few weeks, I decided to purchase a Nexus 7 - once I saw how nice the naked screen was on the Nexus 7 in comparison to the TF700 with anti-glare, I decided to remove the anti-glare from the TF700. All that I can say is *wow* - what a difference (I didn't realize how much the anti-glare degraded the TF700 screen quality!).

So, I would definitely stay away from anti-glare protectors on the TF700 and just deal with the glare and fingerprints - the screen is just *way* to nice to ruin it with the degradation that an anti-glare causes.

Hope the helps!
[Asus Transformer TF700] almo40192:
I like to keep mine in mint condition, I love the look of the prime and didn't want to put a skin or cover on it so I just use the Asus Transleeve and the clear front and back Skinomi skin cover. That way it is 100 percent protected and i can keep the awesome metal look.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waltnich:
+1

I feel the same way.

I'd given the iPad2 a spin for a year and tried out their Zagg Invisible Shield protective skin. That was the best decision I'd made. I am careful with my stuff but there are bound 2b those accidental moments. Every little scratch healed itself. I'll never know if there was a ding avoided but probably so. When I sold it over a year later I got within 20 bucks of what they were selling for after the new iPad came out (I had a Logi keyboard 2go with it). I actually bought my Transformer with the cash I got for the iPad2. I contacted Zagg 2c if they had a tf700 Invisible Shield. Their response was no but check back they may in the future. I just checked back and they have both the full body (glass and aluminum side) AND the alum side of the dock (separately). Placed my order and expect it soon. The beauty of the model specific skin is that they have the holes exactly where the camera, microphone, speaker were on the iPad and I expect that with the Transformer they also accomodate the raised lettering and the feet on the dock. I feel like a salesman 4Zagg but credit given where credit is due.

Good Luck
