[Acer Iconia A500] mirchichamu:
I was having the same problem . I went to applications, located Google now and uninstalled the update and reverted to the previous version. Now it is working and not force close. Don't update it. It is problem of updated version and not ROM.

As I spoke, there were problems with the camera! And so, I decided not to think of this problem and to forget! Yesterday for the sake of interest I put the ZoomFX program, the camera works! The question - in what the reason of the idle ordinary camera arises? Maybe there are no libraries? But what? Very strange!

Once flashed and rebooted it just goes to Acer logo and that's it.

Won't progress any further.

I had the same problem and fixed it by deactivating / activating the hardware button for the same function (rotation)

Hi loekis,

Can you clarify what you mean?? I am a noob after all. I would appreciate the help.

Thanks.

[Acer Iconia A500] mirchichamu:
There is a round small button near to volume button. That is for rotation. Unlock that button and it will start rotation.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cpt_Chaos:
That didnt work. The problem I have is that when I go to settings - Display - Rotation (in this sub menu, the option to check the box for include Lock screen isn't checked and it doesn't allow me to check it. )

When I lock the hardware key it says that the rotation is disabled, but when I unlock it and click on the rotation tab, I cant check any boxes.

Any ideas????
[Acer Iconia A500] loekis:
That's exactly what helped in my case: lock - unlock and rotation was working fine after that (including checkbox in settings). If it doesn't work in your case, sorry, no further idea.
[Acer Iconia A500] mirchichamu:
There is a problem in the rom itself. When I installed, first rotation didn't work unless I moved the hardware button.

You can try one of the so many rotation applications available in play store. Hope that will help.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cpt_Chaos:
Thanks

That's a pity that it is flawed in the ROM. I will try your suggestion and see if that works. The hardware (toggle the lock key) didn't change anything.

If not, maybe I will go back to the Re-flex 4.0.4 :(

Just uninstall the update and it will become alright. I was having the same problem of force close. Go to settings>>applications >>google now or search and uninstall update.
[Acer Iconia A500] dustya340:
Yes, that had already been pointed out. It's a bandaid workaround and not a fix though. It also means you do not get the latest Google Now functionality....

[Acer Iconia A500] kdejong2012:
Civato,

Thanks for the latest update and all the previous ROMs for our tablet. I've been using TO 4.2.2 ROM for several months but switched back to yours with this last update. I like several 4.2 features but just not stable enough for our tablet yet. Like always, yours is rock solid.

Thanks for link to Google Now setting fix also - I missed that post but everything is working great on that front now also.
[Acer Iconia A500] mirchichamu:
Hahahaha, sorry... A million thanks to jtaylor113 also.
[Acer Iconia A500] crandy2:
Thanks for the link to the original browser. I was having a lot of crashes with the new Feedly app, but after installing this browser, it hasn't crashed all day! I suspect that the internal browser in Feedly is just a skin for the default browser.

The Google search fix worked for me too.

This rom is turning out to be just as stable as your Reflexx roms for me!
[Acer Iconia A500] slayinu:
Work in great so far, I'm really happy about the vol rocker wake. Just switched to this ROM from tegra jb 4.2.2. My power button broke off inside, I'll perform surgery soon the try and fix this bad boy a500.:thumbup: fingers crossed.
[Acer Iconia A500] jsimonson0:
The MB swap is simpler than the Youtube videos make it seem. They take ~10 minutes, most of that making sure the memory card slot door gets fed right. Otherwise the power button is poorly soldered to the MB, and takes more expertise than I have to re-solder. I'd recommend buying a new MB and calling it a day.

Hi all, i just buy a iconia tab a500 and want to install your rom.

I'm not a noob, but wan't to confirm,

If the tab is on ICS 4.0.3 official, I have to do this [WALK-THRU][ApxFlash] using A500APXFlashTool to flash the patched bootloader

Then recovery is ok and i just have to flash this rom ?
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
You're definitely on the right track... just make sure that you have one of recoveries listed in the OP along with the patched ICS bootloader.

Stuck at boot after flash

Hi,

Tried to flash latest ROM rev 3.4 on an Acer Iconia Tab A501, flash in AROMA Installer was OK, rebooted but then stuck at boot screen : "Skrilax_CZ's bootloader v8 Booting primary kernel image" and table seems stuck here, nothing happened, tried and retried to flash again with some others apps selection but no way, still stuck at boot ... I don't know what is happening here at boot screen ... Maybe I've done something wrong ?

Any helps/advise would be appreciated ?

Regards,

Laurent
[Acer Iconia A500] swindillon:
I am getting the same thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
Did you have installed Skrilax_CZ's unlocked bootloader v8? This is a requirement for this ROM. Here you'll find instructions for how to install this bootloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

If you already have this bootloader, a corrupted data partition could be another reason for bootloops. Such corruptions can happen, when you have been on a TegraOwners ROM before. In that case, you need a do a real format of the data partition as indicated here:

http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=83

With best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] ivan69_mi:
As far as I know it's not only a matter of drivers... I already asked on a different thread and the answer was negative (I'll be more than happy if someone here will say that I'm wrong)

If you need to have the 3G functionality I'm afraid you've to go with a different ROM, specific for A501
[Acer Iconia A500] pioneer2008:

[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
Looking good. Thanks once again, Civ.

By the way, have you looked at the latest Aroma build? Lots of new options and it doesn't seem to have any problems with newer TWRP recoveries, unlike the version you use.
[Acer Iconia A500] aggdroid:
Have either of you gotten past this? I am also stuck at the same booting primary kernel screen. I can get into recovery, tried reflashing a few different roms but no luck
[Acer Iconia A500] prisonking101:
Charger Not Detected?

Might just be my tablet, but it doesn't seem to detect that the charger is plugged in when the rom has booted..

PM me if that is not the case, wouldn't mind giving logs to help fix the issue

Absolutely loving the dark transparent themes!
[Acer Iconia A500] articuno1_au:
Like a lot of the others, I also can't get into the rom and am stuck on a the v8 loading default rom screen.

As an interesting aside. I went back into the recovery sector and took a look through the file manager. System et all are complete empty and the install is completing in 40 seconds give or take.

I'm now stuck unable to restore from my backup as it appears that my root is gone :\

Any suggestions on how to work past this given I can't get back into a rom? Never had a problem until I tried this ROM. I must have buggered something up >.<
[Acer Iconia A500] btafoya:
In the original post you will find the solution if I remember correctly. I had the same issue, turns out I missed something.
[Acer Iconia A500] articuno1_au:
I got back into my OS. Thanks for the pointer >.< Life saver :D

I can't get any of my old backups to restore though D:

Can I restore my data from a 4.2 backup onto a 4.1 backup? (Sorry, couldn't find anything).
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
I never restore my data on a clean ROM flash, but there's probably some users that successfully do that - each having their own technique.

In my opinion it has the potential of adding more problems than it's worth.
[Acer Iconia A500] CanuckinPA:
I just flashed the ROM and like others I now can't get past the Skrilax_CZ bootloader screen.

I followed your link to TegraOwners and did a real format, but still no luck getting past the boot screen. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] CanuckinPA:
What did you do to get back into your OS?
[Acer Iconia A500] articuno1_au:
Start with your tablet off.

Hold down the power button and the volume down button (furthest from the power button) until it vibrates. Release the power but stay on the volume.

Use the volume rocker to navigate to the "Boot Recovery" option.

? Not sure if needed, but I had to reflash a root package onto the device (can't find a link to it sorry). IF NEEDED. RESTART AND REPEAT THE ABOVE.

Install the Aroma installer. Choose the colours and themes you want.

Press next, then press back to get back to the primary menu. Select the apps you want installed.

Proceed with the installation and it should work. If you don't do the above two steps, it doesn't load (at least for me).

???

Profit.

Hope this helps :)
[Acer Iconia A500] JimmieMaul:
I too am having the problem of being stuck in the bootloader, staring at the "Skrilax_CZ V8 Bootloader - Loading Primary Kernel" message.

Here's what I'm running to hopefully nail down what the problem is:

A501

Thors Recovery 1.7.3

Flashing from SD Card

I have tried:

The latest version of ReFLEXX (the stock OS one) and although 6.2 boots perfectly for me, the latest version has the same problem.

Rev 3.3 of the ROM in case a recent change caused issues.

Changing recoveries to TWRP, but unfortunately hit exactly the same issue.

Used the "Mount \data\ and format it" approach to fix corrupted internal memory. Still no joy.

Could the updated kernel be a problem? I also noticed that Aroma Installer has been updated on the latest version of these ROMs (ReFLEXX and this). Could it be this that is causing the issue?

I hope this helps.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Other than mine, Randomblame has a CM JB rom for the 501. Only 2 real issues, the mic doesn't function, and it's prone to losing 3g signal sometimes. so you have to reboot.

But I don't do much dev for the 501, as I focus on the 701 now.
