Follow up:

Found Acer Recovery on SD card \and installed it. Restored Recovery image. Booted into recovery. No change. Same menu as above, all options produce same result. Still stuck.
[Acer Iconia A500] buffaloquinn:
What is, and where can I find, AfterOTA? And can I get put it on my SD card and run it from there? Because I cannot install anything via normal methods right now.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Installed AfterOTA and am now updating USB drivers (new laptop). Question is.,will AfterOTA require tablet to be in download mode, because I haven't been able to get there either since the install?
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
Guys, I would like to remind you that this is a development thread and dev forum section. Discussions on things like installation problems, recovery issues and other stuff not related to the ROM development should take place in General or Q&A sections or at least not in this thread as those are things not specifically related to this ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
You could also try blackthund3r's A500 Manager as an alternative to AfterOTA. If you need to, get into APX mode manually with the reset hole and a paper clip end.

Now I think it's time to follow up with questions on those particular threads - don't want to hijack this one. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] buffaloquinn:
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack thread. Thanks to anyone who tried to help. Situation is resolved. Hopped into my time machine and went back two days and kept my previous self from installing new ROM. LOL!

Actually followed this thread's info http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../508c3034/1/3/2/7/9/8/3/Flashing_packages.jpg

and once I could get back into recovery again, I just did a full restore of my last backup.
[Acer Iconia A500] error311:
Does Theme Chooser work in this rom ? When I try to open it through settings, I get settings has force closed. Everything else runs amazingly good though.

I guess it may be because when I wiped in recovery it didnt fully wipe, flashing from 4.0.3 OTA to this rom. I noticed my account info was still there, so maybe I need to wipe and flash again I will give that a shot.
[Acer Iconia A500] kinfauns:
ALL MEMBERS - PLEASE READ

Development threads should only include development issues. Please try to keep this and all other development threads clear of clutter.

- If you know of a problem with the ROM and would like to discuss the issue, this thread is the right place to do that.

- If you have a problem flashing or using the ROM and would like help or troubleshooting advice, the Q&A section is available for that.

- If you're not sure which of the above two options is most appropriate, it still belongs in Q&A. If it's later determined to be a problem with the ROM, there's always time to bring it back to the thread and discuss it here.

Abiding by these general guidelines will help the developer focused on the core issues and everybody will benefit. Let's all keep the thread on topic.
[Acer Iconia A500] error311:
Front facing camera is upside down for me ? I went back a few pages saw no mention about it. Is this a bug in the ROM or an issue on my end ?

I noticed the other CM10 rom which is discontinued talked about a fixed from "Thor" for library. Thanks hope it aint me and will be fixed !

Hey guys, what do you think the best CPU governor is for this ROM using they godmachine kernel.. I was using smartassv2 because I thought it was good (it is on my dinc2)...lol I know I realized that it made the tablet laggy :P so I'm using lulzactive now need you guys's advice on what goveernor to use.
[Acer Iconia A500] articuno1_au:
I'm using interactive. There are a couple of threads on xda about the difference between them. Would be worth a Google IMO :)

This is a horses for courses question.. the answer depends on what you want out of your tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
OK, I know I'm guilty of it too at times, but as a suggestion, randomblame, do you think adding a link to the discussion thread to the first post - making it clear that is the only thread where it's OK to post recommendations or questions regarding ROM use / installation - would help in this situation?

[EDIT] comment regarding calculator removed, after learning how to install apk directly (copy to /system/app using adb push, then "chmod 644 Calculator.apk" and reboot [/EDIT]

The upside down camera issue has been rectified using thors library in civato's rom and I found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1965895 which discusses a new JB 4.2 Camera with working photosphere....aaaaaannnndd....it doesn't rectify the camera lib that causes the problem, plus photosphere doesn't work (not compatible), but it's a nice interface...

Please wipe cache AND data before flashing or you may run into problems with the new apps. Just backup first. You might get away with just wiping cache and clearing app data manually for clock and camera

Speaking of keyboard I have a strange issue with email app setup. When I get to the "name the email address" Part I can only delete one character at a time, and the keyboard minimizes and it takes a couple of seconds before I can get the keyboard back up on screen, between each character. Then once its all deleted and ready to type new name I can only type one character and same thing the keyboard disappears and it takes a couple of seconds between each character to get it back up onscreen. Don't know if its the keyboard or email app.

Randomblame, how did working on the EGL stuff work out? I'm not very versed in such matters but this is one thing that's plaguing all ROMs and anyone looking into it is good in my book.
[Acer Iconia A500] androvoid:
great work on release 3 rb, had some problems with the trebuchet launcher continuously black screening on rotation, and also the rotation lock switch wasn't working. I have swapped to apex launcher instead and it's not an issue now, I did see a post in another thread (possibly the CM10FLEX rom by civato) regarding a fix if anyone wanted to check that and continue using trebuchet (personally liking apex more, not that nova is that bad either, but personal preference...). The working camera is awesome, don't know if you can disable the photosphere option to stop the camera close that occurs as a result of trying to use it, but glad you used the 4.2 camera anyway :)
[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
Having issues with the keyboard closing after the first letter of each word.

Edit: Figured the 'show correction suggestion' is causing this behavior, like in email apk or xda tapatalk.

Also this is only while typing the usual way, the gesture mode doesn't trigger the problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
Yea me and random blame had same issue with keyboard. I switched to SwiftKey x and problem is gone so guessing it's the keyboard causing the issue not the app.
[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
you have a lot of weird bugs - photosphere can be supported by modifying build.prop and changing the lines

model to Nexus 4 and brand to google

trebuchet works PERFECTLY here with screen rotation and rotation lock switch causing no problems

did you wipe?

also for the a501 question I just sent moscowdesire a test version of this with 501 support but I don't have a 501 so it's gonna be a little bit before I have a working build to share I think
[Acer Iconia A500] ilgimmy:
Tried without wiping and seemed fine, except from strange issues with account (but I forgot to flash gapps). After wipe and reinstall everything is fine but no rotation! I had the same problem with r2 and solved it passing to godmachine's kernel. What can I try to fix rotation?

I just remembered with R3 and up the boot.img's from other builds are not going to be interchangeable you need to open the boot.img and insert the zimage to flash a new kernel. The ramdisk has changed.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] emuandco:
No big deal, you need CWM on both of them. Then start CWM on your working one with a 2GB or bigger SD inside, go to Backup/Recovery and select backup to external SD. Wait till its done. Then reboot and take the sd from it and put it inside the malfunctioning one. There start CWM, too and go to Backup/Recovery again. Then go to recover from external SD and you are done.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 128rincon:
Thanks, but I was so frustrated I took it to a computer repair shop!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
It is also worth mentioning that there is a Factory Reset option that may restore the unnamed deleted file. It is found in Settings or in the CWM/Restore menu.

To avoid bloatware install:

1. Factory reset

2. Complete the first 5 or so Setup steps until you see "You're Done"

3. Open Sim card door and prepare to poke the reset button

4. Click "Finish" or "Done" and then as soon as the Lenovo Pre-Install takes over the screen - reset!

5. Start up tablet, done!

(if the pre-install starts up again, reset once more. I've never had to do it more than twice. You can use the power button but it is slower and requires confirmation.)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 128rincon:
Incidentally, I have ROM manager Pro in my good unit, and I did a "backup current ROM", and after it finished, I couldn't find it anywhere! When I would click "Manage and Restore Backups" in ROM manager, I just get a blank screen! Plus, when I tried "Reboot into Recovery", or "Install ROM from SD Card", it just reboots to normal on condition, but no prompts in the process. I tried re-installing ROM manager, to no avail! ...and yes, it does show that it is "allowed" in Superuser.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
I don't believe that backups can be made via an App on the Thinkpad Tablet. AFAIK, it is only CWM Recovery that works.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] 128rincon:
Probably it!

Switch the device off. Switch onagainand periodically push volume up, this boots cwm, there try my small manual.

@emuandco: I did that many times & still just the "stock" boot options came up! I got so frustrated with it that I just brought it to a local computer repair shop! Thanks for your efforts!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poodleDoo:
My Epic is pretty much stock (EI22, Kernel 2.6.35.7), it is rooted and I added the GPS fix and the 4G boost.

I have been experiencing reboots every other day, and I think they match the issue described in

toadlife's The spontaneous reboot (solution?) thread

So I just ran out of patience; and I'm thinking to either upgrade the kernel or install a whole new ROM.

Also, since I use the phone for job related tasks, stability is a must.

I don't know if just a new kernel may help, hence my question:

What do you recommend and why (other than a GS III;) )?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbellot:
If you're rooted and don't want to stray too far from "stock" Gingerbread I would suggest trying out The People's ROM.

Very stable, I go days/weeks without rebooting (my current uptime is 425:18:46) and don't think I've ever had a spontaneous reboot. The only thing I run different from TPR standard is the CleanGB kernel.

The CleanGB ROM is very good, but it stopped at EL30 (TPR is running the latest FC09 release) and requires some fiddling to stop the OTA update messages.

Other than that, CM10 is very impressive but still a work in progress (and a lot more demanding on the battery).

No matter what you decide I would suggest updating the modem to FC09.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figarofigaro:
Are there any incentives for dual-booting stock and a CM firmware?

Is there anything stock that the official B&N app can't do?

I have a feeling I would never even boot into it, and don't want to waste my time
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The official android B&N Nook reader app cannot read interactive children's books. Only the version on the stock ROM can read them. That is because those books are really interactive applications that look like books but only run on stock. That and worrying about warranty issues are the main reasons folks leave stock on emmc and run CM on SD.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] figarofigaro:
Then there is literally no incentive for me to dual boot... I bought my Nook solely for the purpose of the tablet modification... I ran stock firmware for about 20 minutes in total, right when I took it out of the box! :p

Thanks for the reply!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you registered your stock software, de-register it before you flash the new CM rom. That way if you ever want to sell or give away the Nook to someone else, it is unincumbered to your account. You can still put the nook app on CM and register that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:
I got it for news aggregation. Magazines and the Sunday paper that you can't get on the app. If you want a tablet, kindle and nex7 are better. I'm a B&N member and use it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robertjm:
The latest B/N app allows you to read papers and magazines. I thought that covered them all, or is it only certain ones?

Robert
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:
Huh. Well when I bought it back when it came out it didn't.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robertjm:
That was one of the biggest features people were complaining about when they were running the Android app, vs. the Nook Color app. Haven't tried any of the magazines myself other than a preview of NatGeo they sent out this Summer, but it was nice to see the option!

To the OP, the biggest things I miss are the free reading of anything from the eBook store, where you could sit inside a B/N Cafe and read for an hour. Also, they used to send out freebie coupons which you'd then show to the barista, such as a free frappacino or large-sized latte. Not sure if they do that anymore since I rooted, and eventually changed up the ROM completely.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows how to stop things from running on android unless I ACTUALLY want them to run. For example, when j go to task manager, I quite often see my RAM being chewed up by "fm radio"(which I'm not even using), "people" (when I'm not using it or any other app that would invoke its use), or "messages"(again, when Im not even using it). Long story short, I will at some point use these apps but I don't want them running when I'm nit using them, so disabling isn't really useful at all

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
