This isn't a competition, guys - just a really great opportunity that we have to benefit from some great developers' sharing their hard work and hobby interests. As free users who made a choice to participate we should be grateful & have no right to be critical or demanding.
[Acer Iconia A500] OKAstro:
Lighten up Francis. Just stating my experience with a ROM like 1000's of others do. Not meant to be critical or demanding

Help

Granted, I'm a noob but did successfully install a cooked rom once before on my acer. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong with this one but install seems to go well then my tablet gets stuck at the "acer" boot screen (see attached pics of install progress). Any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
From the TWRP Recovery image you attached, it looks as though at least one of your partitions are not mounting. Try manually mounting all of your partitions. You are running an unlocked ICS bootloader, correct?
[Acer Iconia A500] reo4ua:
If you don't mind please advise how to manually mount a partition. Yes.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
If you want to keep using TWRP as your recovery you should learn your way around it, and not just how to mount partitions... the TWRP thread should shed some light. NOTE: If you flash the most recent version of TWRP, posted in that thread, you won't be able to install this ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] reo4ua:
Didn't realize I'd already had to do this initially to find the rom on my sd card as the default for sd was unmounted. The only one unmounted when i checked just now was system. I changed this to "mounted" then reran install with same issue after installation. Though i get the "successful" message, the last line of output reads "E:Unable to mount /data".
[Acer Iconia A500] jerkwagon:
using google talk, the program crashes when i try to initiate a video chat. works fine in google hangout with gplus.

otherwise amazing rom, much apprciated!
[Acer Iconia A500] jerkwagon:
Updated Google (search) crashes every time now :(
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
Seems like all cm10 based roms are not compatible with the updated Google search.
[Acer Iconia A500] josh2020glacier:
Not all works fine on my vibrant running cm10. Only with the à500 I'm assuming.
[Acer Iconia A500] YeeP:
What ext-sd card file formats will this ROM be able to read?

I need to buy a new card and was going to format it first thing to at least an NTFS so it can handle these large media files.

Will it read ext4?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
You are right! Sorry, I meant all A500 CM10 ROMs seem to have this problem (from reading forums).
[Acer Iconia A500] ct2020:
I'm getting the same thing. Any thoughts or advice?
[Acer Iconia A500] dogbots159:
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a dark red version of this?
[Acer Iconia A500] ta-wan:
OP would list themes if available or other option is get a red CM10 theme from android market.
[Acer Iconia A500] yafonda:
I have been using this ROM for about a week, and BRAVO! Previously, I was on rooted OTA stock ICS which broke rotation and GPS. This ROM is pretty flawless. The only issue I have seen it that occasionally, the unlock screen doesn't show any icons when awakening from sleep. A reboot seems to fix it. Thanks again!
[Acer Iconia A500] reo4ua:
After jacking with this thing on and off for a few days I downloaded this file, renamed it update.zip then placed on my sd card and rebooted into twrp. Once it was done I rebooted and have what appears to be a clean install of 3.1. Build # Acer_A500_4.010.40_com_gen1

Since I can't leave well enough alone, back to custom roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] reo4ua:
Can I update to this ROM now?

Current Setup:

A500

Android Version 4.0.3

Kernel Version 2.6.39.4+

Image Version Acer_AV041_A500_RV03RC01_GEN1

Build Number: Lightspeed_4.5

Image P/N: FM.S14A0.00U

I tried a few days ago (only difference was lightspeed 4.1(?) was my ROM at the time) and it didn't take for some reason. I know its something I did wrong and just want to ensure my current setup is good for the upgrade as I've not mastered recovery yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] ta-wan:
I think the most important thing is your boot loader. see OP.
[Acer Iconia A500] reo4ua:
Boot loader version 3.01
[Acer Iconia A500] ta-wan:
For ICS bootloader only.

Aroma installer is tested and confirmed working on the following recovery's:

ezterry's A500PubRecovery

or

TWRP 2.1.3 (not 2.2...)

or

Thor 1.7.3

or

ra-recovery 3.17 (recovery-ra-iconia-3.17-gnm)

[Acer Iconia A500] ta-wan:
your problem is probably your twrp version.
[Acer Iconia A500] tazwik:
Would it work on the latest twrp or I have to get the 2.1.3 ver?
[Acer Iconia A500] reo4ua:
Got it to work finally. Problem was the bootloader so thanks to those who recommended updating it. I assumed that since I was running a cooked ICS Rom that my bootloader had to be ICS which obviously was not the case. Went off without a hitch once my bootloader was updated.

Is it possible to setup auto notifications for updates to this rom or do I just have to watch this thread?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
I've tested it on all the latest releases of TWRP... so far, the Aroma installer won't work with TWRP beyond 2.1.3.
[Acer Iconia A500] josh2020glacier:
And that's why I just stay with twrp 2.1.3
[Acer Iconia A500] sasuke1989:
I wait for someone's help because I do not know what else to do :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] egrus:
So far I love this ROM, smooth and without issues except for the WiFi disconnecting when in sleep mode. I have changed the settings to "always on" but when the screen turns off after a few minutes it disconnects. As soon as I press the power button on it comes back within seconds. I didn't have this issue with other JB ROMS, today I went back to another one and it worked pretty well, when I switched to this ROM, same problem. Anyone having same issues/workaround for this? I think otherwise it is the bomb :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Spikelangelo:
Why is this?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Reasons haven't been ironed out yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] jerkwagon:
last night i put my a500 in silent mode, (didnt want emails waking me up) anyway, along with airplaine mode, when i got up this morning, i can not get it off silent mode, the button does nothing, it still has a slash through the icon.i can adjust teh volume levels, but the slash is still there and i get no sound. anyone else have this issue?

-fixed, rebooted, (thought i tried that, but when i clicked on reboot it, it came to which mode, i didnt see it and thought it already rebooted.) maybe we can fix this small issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
Not an issue, just a button priority. Sound rocker still functions and volume slider works (but no sound), but sound is disabled if the button in the pop-up menu controls above the clock is not blue (activated). It overrides the other setting. Goodluck & Merry Christmas!--Larry
[Acer Iconia A500] sany:
Great ROM, only thing I noticed is about the USB Storage in Settings>Storage, when I plug in a USB drive it will show as mount SD card and for unmounting - unmount SD card where it is supposed to say unmount USB drive or something like that instead of saying SD card. I think I remember seeing it that way in the stock ROM.

Having said this, this is a great ROM. Happy Christmas to the Civato and his supporters.

wrong thread , sorry, that is what I get from being busy with LG phone
[Acer Iconia A500] geobart:
morning, this is my first ROM flash ....

how long it takes from the CWM menu install a zip from SD to the end of installation ?

because, it's running now from 10 min and nothing new on the screen ?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Should get the Aroma install GUI after a few seconds.
[Acer Iconia A500] geobart:
didn't get any aroma install GUI !!!!

I try once more, and since 5 minutes still having the "starting aroma installer ..." and then nothing new happen :-/

any idea ?

thx

edit : i'm using the ClockworkMod Recovery rev.1.3.4 by thor2002ro, is that the problem ?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Try using a more recent version... ideally 1.7.3
[Acer Iconia A500] geobart:
not working with 1.7.3 :-/

but my bootloader version is 3.01 !! is the problem here ?
[Acer Iconia A500] adrock74:
Yes. That's the problem. Check out the ICS boot loader thread. That should take you where u need to go. Its frustrating I know, but one more step and you are there.:good:

Clear notification

Hi,

I've just install this great rom, and I've got a small question: is it only me or the small cross for clearing the notification has disappeared ?

Is there another way to clear the notifications?
[Acer Iconia A500] Wallcrawler77:
I'm guessing this is your first Jelly Bean install? Swipe individual notifications to the right to dismiss just that one, or tap the icon in the upper right of the notification panel to nuke 'em all.
[Acer Iconia A500] zeph:
Indeed.... Thank's a lot !
[Acer Iconia A500] Wallcrawler77:
Welcome to JB, then! To really blow your mind, take a notification that's obviously compressed (like for Gmail, where it only displays the first couple of lines) and drag down on it with two fingers. Expandable notifications FTW! :victory:

Learn more here and here

Help with some apps not working

OK I got this installed fairly easy and it kept all my apps. Now system says android version 4.1.2 and kernel 2.6.39.4-ezT20-v1.0.1~ sun au 12....

When I run a game like gameloft virtual city it loads then i press start but my system freezes goes to a black screen

fortunately if you press the home icon several times it exits...

maybe is this an over clocking ?

thanks

do they plan on updating this rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
This ROM is based on pjsports' CM10. Civato may release another one if pjsports updates it, unless civ decides to release a couple of his always great customizations. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Booboo64:
And PJSPORTS has moved to CM 10.1 (4.2.1) and spending his time there. Appears that he's moving to a weekly release of that ROM, so perhaps Civato is waiting for a stable release there.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Yeah, looks as though most devs have.

[Acer Iconia A500] OKAstro:
The cwm backup file is in the /sdcard folder not the /data folder, so wouldn't that just wipe whatever is in the /data folder

I tried formatting the /sdcard in CWM, but it didn't clean anything.

What about A501 support? What has to be done?

Hello Civato,

let me first congratulate you for a cool ROM! :fingers-crossed:

But my main question is about something else.

You have been asked if you will support A501 by about 5 people in this thread without any answer! :confused:

So I am asking again.

I installed your ROM on my A501 and it worked well except for internal 3G and GPS.

I tried using the pppWidget and also the shell script with no success, so I guess, either internal

3G needs an extra driver module or maybe has to be built into the kernel.

Because it seems that except for 3G and GPS the A500 and A501 share the same hardware base I cannot

believe that it is an unsolvable problem to create A501 build or to integrate that into the main A500 build.

So the question is, how can we solve the lack of ROM support for all A501 owners outside?

Who can help here? How can we support you? I guess you will need some testers who provide you with some logs?

Obviously this is something we also have to ask pjsports as you seem to rely on his builds.

I hope this time you are going to answer our questions and more than this I hope we find a solution.

With best regards, Harry.

1) camera application cannot save pictures on SD card (there's any option available to choose the destination of the taken pics)

2) is not possible to reproduce any .avi from the network (I've some .avi on the NAS and with the stock I was able to open them by GhostCommander + MXPlayer/VPlayer)

[Acer Iconia A500] gsurath:
Yahoo!

A big thank you to Civato.

Don't know why I took so long to try out this ROM but am happy I finally got there. This is the only ROM on which my VPN works. And sitting in China, life is tough without VPN. I used to be able to connect with the HC ROMs but since installing ICS or JB ROMs I had lost this functionality.

I am sticking with this for now until we has as stable a ROM for 4.2.1.

can't mount sd

First, my apologies if this has been covered. I searched the thread and didn't find what I needed.

I can't mount the sdcard.

It's not being automounted and when I go to storage and try to manually mount, the button just stays hilighted for a moment and then goes back to normal with no mount.

Any ideas for things I can try, logs I can look in?

Is this a known issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Well crud. It occurred to me to test if I could see the sdcard when in recovery and I can't.

This worked before I installed this rom but that may be coincidental. I won't be able to see if another card works or if this card works in another machine until tonight though.
[Acer Iconia A500] almostthere:
You're not getting what i meant. Was downloading on my chrome desktop browser and at almost complete download it states "network error" so I'm not wrong here. Anyway fixed it by direct downloading it through my iconia and moved it to SD
[Acer Iconia A500] Falcon1:
I recommend you using a good downloader client, I use flashget and you do not need to use any browser dowloader since it is not fast and reliable. you must use checksum to see if the file downloaded clean. instead flashget uses checksum to compare if the file was downloaded correctly. good luck
[Acer Iconia A500] almostthere:
Meh, trivial matter. Like I said, was fixed already by downloading direct and running a check from there. Anyway, if you guys find Google Now crashijng, grap the latest gapps in goo.im and after flashing it, update Google Search in Play Store

-I will also add new Gapps for 4.1.2 and make the asus e-mail a option for aroma and the JB e-mail as default. If you then pick the asus e-mail it will replace the stock JB one. I do this because some seems to have problems with Asus mail.

This ROM doesn't like exFAT formatted cards. I reformatted for fat32 and it mounts fine.
