Play store missing

I just installed the rom. coming from reflex

Did backup, full wipe etc.

One problem I do have is there is no play store on apps list.

Everytyhing else seems ok.

Not sure if it is hidden , I did try one launcher, and it had play store in corner but that didnt go anywhere.

Tried redoing the rom a few times and get the same result.
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
Did you flash the latest gapps?
[Acer Iconia A500] Digil:
Thanks for another great Rom, Civ. I just loaded this last night after coming from RE-FLEXxx, and It's working great. Not sure which I like more between the two. In fact, I bought you a couple beers with the "Donation" button. Thanks again!
[Acer Iconia A500] bibi_50:

E-Mail-App crash?

I've installed 1.9 over 1.8 which ran well, except from random vanishing of entire desktop - some people have experienced it too.

Now I have a problem with the standard E-Mail-App - it crashes every time when I am trying to open an e-mail for reading. This is not a tragedy because I am using Aqua-Mail, too, which works well, but - as it is a free version - it allows for only 2 e-mail-accounts. So it would be nice if I could make the standard app run again...

I tried to extract the app from Titanium-Backup, but it crashes too...

Could anybody help?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
No problems here.
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
You aren't seeing the random vanishing of the desktop? I'm using the Apex Launcher and from time to time it seems to restart and come back, but sometimes the entire desktop vanishes and I have to reboot to get it back.

You're not seeing this? Are you using the Apex launcher or ??? Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
As another data point, no such issues here. However I use Nova Launcher. Try another launcher...
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
OK. Thanks! I just thought is was a common problem ... some one else referenced memory leak issues. But if that's not the case, I'll do some more work to resolve. Other than that issue, it's been very problem-free for me :)! Jelly Bean seems a better platform than HC or ICS so very grateful for the work to bring it to our Acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
I use Apex also, and on other ROMs I've also had the problem of apps disappearing. So far I've not had this problem on this ROM, but it's only been a couple of days. Didn't think about it being the launcher. If it happens again, I'm going to test a different launcher and see.
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
I've never seen that issue with Apex or on any of Civato's ROMs. Think you have another issue. Goodluck
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Please stop arguing , the rom with aroma installer does what it needs to do.

Gapps are downloaded separately so you always got the latest and the rom.zip package stays at a normal size and doesn't get outdated because of old GoogleApps.

Thank you.

@ibawanzingee no where in this thread is there any promise of the AcerRing so don't expect it to be in the aroma.
[Acer Iconia A500] andrewbat:
Thanks

Thanks for the Rom...

Seriously AWESOME

Thanks for developing and keeping out tablets alive and active...

And thanks for clearing up the above!! What you said - I second that!!

Thread cleaned at request of OP. That means I deleted a bunch of useless nonsense.

Off Topic posts should be posted in the appropriate threads in the appropriate forums.

How's it look like with AD HOC support ? Is it there any possibility ?

BTW: Very nice job, Ty ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] jerrt010:
Great work on all your ROMs. We all really appreciate the hard work you do to keep the a500 kicking.

I know you have said you like the ICS builds better than jb, but this ROM is super fast and smooth. I am having trouble getting facelock to work as well as I can't wait to see if they get the newer camera app working flawless. Other than that it runs great. I can even use "Google now" this ROM is fast enough to keep it from being a burden to system resources.

Again, great work and can't wait to see any further goodies you provide

PS. I do like the Acer ring and would love to see it put into jb but I also understand if it is just not worth the fight.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Still, Re-flexxx is my personal favorite, with lots of JB goodies like GoogleNow.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Yes, however, I hope that some great dev out there will keep the Google Now for ICS Project going. Updates from Google, for Google Now, are rolling out.
[Acer Iconia A500] twistedknickers:
I made this on my A500. Hope it's okay. If not I will delete it, just let me know.
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:

[Acer Iconia A500] 10507:
Thank Civato for the great ROM. However, lately I am getting System UI crash. All the navigation buttons would disappear and it would need a reboot to bring back the navigation buttons.

This there a fix for this?

Strange screen effect

Is anyone else getting a white fog like effect when you are looking at a thread.?

It's only happening in xda forum so far and it's not happening from my other device.

Some items are foggy and some are not... Very strange.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moustapha Aly:
Do i need further apps or patchs installation to use my 3g usb modem ?!
[Acer Iconia A500] Digil:
One thing I want to point out, after having come from RE-FLEXxx is that my battery seems to last much longer on this ROM. Nothing but happy here. I have some minor issues but I think they are related to the launcher I'm using.
[Acer Iconia A500] Magaboo:
On the very bottom (LHS) of any XDA page you can find a pull down menu. Select 'XDA-2010' . That solved it for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] jerrt010:
That is part of the reason why I like this ROM. Google now just lagged too much to be useful on the re-flexxx for me.{{ I am pretty sure it was mostly to do with my live multi picture live wallpaper. It tends to be a resource hog. I know, why do I use it? I figure if I am not getting to do things my way then why bother at all.}} But that was also a great ROM. I might just have to go back to it as I am having trouble getting gmail to send emails on the new ROM. They just keep getting stuck in my out going

Quick question. I noticed that when i goto unlock my tablet, even if the auto rotate is set on, the screen wont turn. I was wondering if this was by design or some problem on my end. The re-flexxx rom would rotate, sometimes with some lag, but all and all fairly well with the facelock still being its normal temperamental self

Thanks again, and I am going to get some beer your way soon.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Just as a FYI, looks as though the Google Now for ICS Project could be dead in it's tracks. Been following that thread for quite some time now and things don't look too good.

I believe screen rotation, when the device is locked, is a known bug of the base ROM... one of the obstacles that's been around in trying to port JB to our devices. Facebook app, from what I know, is especially buggy on Jelly Bean platforms in general, not just this ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] jerrt010:
Sorry to hear about the Google now for ICS. I hadn't been following, but too bad all the same.

Luckily I don't use Facebook, so I am not worried about that app specifically. ;]
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
believe me

Believe me, I have tried many roms around here, and this Rom is one of the best having into account four things I consider very important to use in the daily work: Stability, velocity, battery friendly and smooth. I strongly recommend using this rom for any tablet activities. I do not know why some people have had some issues using this wonderful rom. I have been using it from the very beginning it was released and I do not want to use any other(so far).;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moustapha Aly:
May I have any help please!
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Anything further than what? :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] Moustapha Aly:
I mean plus PPP widget ! Cruz I can't use it till now !

Sent from my A500
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Sorry - I don't use a 3G Dongle, so don't know much about it.
[Acer Iconia A500] articuno1_au:
Make sure you aren't installing the Asus mail app in aroma. Do a full wipe and install without the Asus mail app and it should work :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Wormboymx:
The HDMI now works??????

just flashed with this rom, so far pretty good!! thanks!!
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
civ may be doing an update soon as pjsports released a new build. Who knows, maybe civ has already impleted the changes, that pjsports did, into the current FLEX... wouldn't be surprised. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
Yes, hdmi is working flawless. I tested every single function of this Rom. That is the reason I am still using it for my hard work everyday.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
update

17-Nov-2012:

Rev2.0 released

Cleaned out the rom

New mods

New Aroma

New Seperate Aroma customizer

Updated all app

Gapps included in the rom (I think it is so much easier)
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
@civato: Do the gapps included in rev2.0 have Picasa sync enabled? If not, is it safe to just flash smaller zip with Picasa enabled gallery on top of it? Or is it possible to simply select it in Aroma?
[Acer Iconia A500] articuno1_au:
Thanks for the update :)

One query, does this build have the new WiFi driver from pj's build?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
It got the latest Gapps included , the same as you download from gooim, except I lifted Facelock because it don't work on JB.

But there is no problem in re-flashing a zip with apps after you installed the rom. Even re-flashing Gapps packages should give no problem.

The GoogleApps in the Aroma that you can pick are Playstore apps and are installed in data.

If you mean the gallery app , well if you don't select the 4.2 camera the default JB Galery app is installed.

If you select in aroma 4.2 camera , the camera app and Galery app are changed to JB 4.2 version.

No as prefer to stick to ezterry's kernel. For me it is the smoothest.

And I don't see the need as my wifi is real good.
[Acer Iconia A500] enotar:
Do you plan to try a 4.2 version?

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] josh2020glacier:
My only issueis why is the sound way quieter then your 4.0.4 ics biuld.
[Acer Iconia A500] eracet:
Do you need a full wipe from V1.9 to V2?
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
Thanks for the answer. I'm not using the 4.2 camera. I've flashed gapps-jb-picasa-20121011-signed.zip on top of your ROM and Gallery syncs with Picasa without any problems.

If you already include the GApps in your ROM maybe you could also add the Picasa enabled version of Gallery/Camera as an option in Aroma for people who want to sync their online galleries and don't need extra CM stuff inside the Camera app.
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
Civato, just more feedback:

1) flashed from recovery from 1.9 to 2.0, without doing anything (let Aroma clear the caches, etc). Worked perfectly. Thank you!

2) While you are in the cleaning mood, you removed extra APKs not need in /system/app. You left Phone.apk; I would suggest removing that on the next one as I *believe* it's not needed in a table.

Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia A500] zok-star:
great updated, thanks a lot!!! keep it up!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] enotar:
Not completely sure about that. Needed for contacts etc...?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Not in favor of deleting that apk, it got more to do then just for a phone use.

If I remove it in Acer rom the all acerring stuff crashes so it got more to it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
Civato, ok got it! I don't use Acer Ring or any of the optional AROMA stuff, so if I remove the phone.apk then People still work just fine. No issues doing so for me. I've created my own post-installation script (generic, regardless of ROM) to delete the following APKs: Apollo, VoiceDialer, Stk, Phone, MMS. Some ROMs still have some of those others.

Thanks again! Much appreciated!

Internal Memory

Hi,

If I have a 16gb A500, how much Internal Memory should I have left once I install this rom.....

Just asking as I am curious?????
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
There are alot of options in this ROM's Aroma installer... it would obviously depend on what's chosen.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
12 to 13 GB , depending if you did a real format before you installed the rom.

Nog meaning the rom is taking 3GB.
[Acer Iconia A500] landscapelinux:
civato, thanks for this great ROM.

Is there a way to have the gtalk audio / video call working? It crashes everytime I start an audio/video call...

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] ruscook:
Hi Civato

thanks heaps for your efforts supporting the A500. A beer coming your way, Russ
[Acer Iconia A500] andrewbat:
Now I'm going to sound like a noob....

How do I do a REAL format?...seriously:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] ta-wan:
answer in the OP of any Civato ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] hlaalu:
Hey civ, not sure if the hdmi been fixed yet, I'm still using an earlier build but I found a fix for the HDMI audio. Don't remember where exactly so can't give credit where it's due but here is the code:

# Global configuration section: lists input and output devices always present on the device
# as well as the output device selected by default.
# Devices are designated by a string that corresponds to the enum in audio.h

global_configuration {
attached_output_devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER
default_output_device AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER
attached_input_devices AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BUILTIN_MIC
}

# audio hardware module section: contains descriptors for all audio hw modules present on the
# device. Each hw module node is named after the corresponding hw module library base name.
# For instance, "primary" corresponds to audio.primary.<device>.so.
# The "primary" module is mandatory and must include at least one output with
# AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_PRIMARY flag.
# Each module descriptor contains one or more output profile descriptors and zero or more
# input profile descriptors. Each profile lists all the parameters supported by a given output
# or input stream category.
# The "channel_masks", "formats", "devices" and "flags" are specified using strings corresponding
# to enums in audio.h and audio_policy.h. They are concatenated by use of "|" without space or "\n".

audio_hw_modules {
primary {
outputs {
primary {
sampling_rates 44100
channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADSET|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_WIRED_HEADPHONE|AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_AUX_DIGITAL
flags AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_PRIMARY
}
}
inputs {
primary {
sampling_rates 8000|11025|16000|22050|24000|32000|44100|48000
channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_IN_MONO|AUDIO_CHANNEL_IN_STEREO
formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_BUILTIN_MIC|AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_WIRED_HEADSET
}
}
}
a2dp {
outputs {
a2dp {
sampling_rates 44100
channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ALL_A2DP
}
}
}
}

That should replace the code in the audio_policy.cong file.

Hmm scracth that, looks like it was already fixed according to a few pages back :)
[Acer Iconia A500] andrewbat:
Thanks....I think....

But I have done that....what I'm asking is am I missing something as the word 'real' is use Is a factory reset different?

Should I do that first?

Any help appreciated
[Acer Iconia A500] andrewbat:
Anyone? :(
[Acer Iconia A500] imaulana:
Hello andrewbat...

Do you have CWM recovery installed? If no, then you should installed it.

If yes, then you just have to go to the "wipe" menu.

Do all the wiping things.....wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats

If you want, you can "format flexrom" and "format system" in the advanced menu.
[Acer Iconia A500] andrewbat:
Hey,

Thanks...have done all that excerpt the format flexrom and format system.

What does that do?
[Acer Iconia A500] imaulana:
it does what it's call.... Formating your flexrom and system. Although it's not really necessary to do this manually because the update script in this ROM will do all this thing automatically for you. So, you just have to do the Wiping things.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Factory reset is not a real format, this is a real format:

Performe a REAL format....

here's how to on cwm:(Thor 1.7.3 recovery)

go to in recovery enter "Backup and Restore" and click on "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)"

should say enabled....

then go into "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data"

this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory.
[Acer Iconia A500] andrewbat:
Thanks Civ...

As always...easy explanation....

Hi guys

I'm interested in this ROM for my A500 but I have a question : why the ROM file = +/- 467 Mo?

Currently I have the ROM "4.1.1 cm-10-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip" but its size is +/- 138 Mo

So why that huge difference? (~330 Mo)

Thanks for your lights ;)

Email probs

I get constant FCs on the Email app (set to recieve my Yahoo account)

Sure I had a similar problem with Email on another CM10 ROM (prob WDS' version) and there was a different Email package that immediately solved the problem...

Off to look round the earlier incarnations for a solution...
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Way to go Mate!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Because he added GApps which is a separate flash with the unofficial CM10. Also, Civ uses Aroma installer, so you can choose which apps and stuff you want installed.

This results in a larger file size.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Wipe. No problems here.

EDIT:

14-Okt-2012: Rev 1.6 released.

-Onandroid from terminal should work now.

-Stock browser back into the rom, should be more stable but still not as smooth as ICS (dolphin lifted , download from store if you want it)

-V6-SuperCharger tweaks less agressive as with the lulzactive script. (make your own V6 settings from terminal if you want)

-Kernel pre-overclock set at 1.2GHz for stability.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I changed the original e-mail with Asus e-mail to get the widget that so many love.

If I got time I make a flashpackage with original Jellybean e-mail that replaces the Asus one so you can test if that solves your problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Original E-Mail

Here you go , original JB e-mail , just install with cwm.

Will delete the Asus mail and widget and replaces it with JB original mail
[Acer Iconia A500] rickenbackercriswell:
Email probs SOLVED

Thank you Civ... but I've found a solution!

It was an early incarnation of Thor's JB ROM that had the same prob, so dug around there and found an EMAIL apk that fixed it...

View attachment Email.apk

I moved it to system / app using a rooted file explorer and replaced the old one (not the exchange apk)

Just had to enter details again and reboot... works like a charm!

I have NO IDEA how this apk is different from yours or if it works ok with your asus widget (will test) but has solved all my FC issues.

Hope this may help any others and perhaps your own investigation??

As ever, huge thanx for all your efforts, Civ... long may you reign!
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:

is there any chance of using Acer ring in this Rom, it would be great since this feature only has it the Acer Iconia series. this is the emblem of our wonderful device.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
It's a preference thing - can't say that I'm a huge fan of the great AcerRing.
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
Of course

you are right, it is a preference thing, that is why the AROMA installer is used, to choose the apps you want to have installed in your customized rom. It is the best tool Civato is using in their wonderful roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] SveninFla:
Love the ROM. http://db.tt/x2VDSb66 Posted a screen shot.
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:

I tried and let me tell you this Rom is fantastic, I have not words to explain how well this rom was designed with cleaness, fastness and stability. Great job Civato.

Hmmmm......Yeah, it'd say that about answers your question.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Look for q & a in second post, this is what I found there

-GPS is slow. Open Terminal emulator(is in the aroma or download from playstore) type su (enter) gps-update(enter)

If this doesn't update do the following: With a filemanager with root permissions data/gps/lto.data , delete this lto.data file and re-do all the GPS update steps with the terminal.

Loading Thor 1.7.3 Recovery

Hi Civato,

Thanks for the advice....

I am on EzTerrys Recovery which works great but doesn't seem to do a complete wipe.

Can you or anyone lead me in the right direction on where to download but also flash Thors recovery....please
[Acer Iconia A500] dadecamp:
I did both these as I said earlier. My gps is not slow but rather not working at all. Any suggestions?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
See my sig , unlocked bootloader , there you also find recovery's that you fastboot or just flash from within recovery.

I had it ones , a simple reboot fixed it for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] dadecamp:
Just to let you know, I was able to fix the GPS not working by reflashing the ROM. That was the only issue found by me. Great ROM. Thanks.
