Iconian 2.1 short opinion

Hey Vorbeth. Big thx for your awesome rom. And also to ExtremeRyno who made it really easy to unlock and root the device!

I`ve got my Acer A700 today, after I bricked my new Transformer TF300 and was a little nervous to root and unlock the device, but it was so easy and I couldn`t resist :D ( rooted a lot of devices since 2010, and the TF300 was my 2nd brick).

But anyways:

The 1st time I powered the device on today I found it really laggy, although it has Android 4.1.1. Then I have made the update to the Acer`s latest firmware, but it wasn`t smooth it all. After I enabled "force gpu rendering" in the developer options it was a little bit better. Then I`ve flashed your rom with ExtremeRyno`s tutorial and I was impressed how smooth the Aroma installer was. At my Galaxy S2 it was a pain in the ass. And I could easily choose the programs I want to.

But I have two little wishes:

A lot of my Gameloft-games doesn`t work on the Iconia. Maybe we could edit the build.prob to fix this problem? I would like to see nova 3 on the Iconia.

And I see that we have no custom kernels here in the A700 section and I would like to push the tegra 3 a little bit higher(maybe 1,6 Ghz like the TF700?).

But for now I would like to thank you and the other devs who made this possible for this awesome rom . Have a nice day ;)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Do you know what prop edit's would be needed?

iconaN actually runs using a slightly tweaked custom kernel, full source is here: https://github.com/iconiaN/android_kernel_acer_a700
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OCmylife:
I will try to change the device name etc, until the Gameloftgames are up and running on the Iconia ;) Maybe google will help me to fix it and I will post it here, if i know what`s actually the problem and how we could eliminate it.

I know how to build CM10 from source for my Nexus. But I don`t know which file I have to edit, to change the CPU and GPU clock and adjust the Voltages for it, directly in the kernel build.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I've just added a GPU over clock, now runs at 1.5GHz, tried NFS Most Wanted out and it has improved, almost running as fast as on my One X now.

As for CPU over clock, I'll have a look when I have more time.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] meier2009:
Can you provide it? And its possible to turn up and back down or its necessary to flash kernel back to back

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I will upload it soon, having food etc.

However I would prefer for it to be left in its own thread and not packaged with any roms.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OCmylife:
http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?1266-Guide-Change-build-prop-for-game-loft-games

I`ve found a solution for the gameloft games. We have to edit the build.prob and change the following parameters:

ro.product.model

ro.product.brand

ro.product.name

ro.product.device

and erase the words after the equal sign so it looks like this:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Thanks for this, it will be an install option in the next version.

Looking for a few more things to add to it too.

Still need to push performance a bit, I know the screen res is bigger but this is way slower than a nexus 7.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OCmylife:
If I have time tomorrow I will look into it, which addons are reasonnable for using it in your rom. But I'll have to say that Nova 3 runs way better than on my Gnex. The overall performance could be better, that's right. I think that a higher Cpu clock will solve it

hi vorbeth,

i already enjoyed opensensation for my htc, it was and still is an awesome rom!

i have one question concerning iconian:

is usb storage support working atm? i tried to mount my ntfs usb flash drives which worked on the stock firmware and they can't be mounted. how to fix this?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] laloutre:
You can use paragon which works but slower than native rom support for my own experience
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Acer actually use the Paragon NTFS kernel driver, I'm working on it. So far tests are good, I just don't have much free time this weekend.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OCmylife:
Please do not include it the way I have described. I was impressed that Nova 3 runs alot better on my Acer A700 than on my Nexus. Wild Blood was ... playable, but not as smooth as I want it. I could install Backstab HD, but after the Intro-video the Tablet returns to the homescreen.

Then I have tested Cyanogenmod with all the things left on default and Backstab was playable. I like the battery percentage btw. In my opinion browsing the web was a little bit smoother on CM. But I switched back to your rom, cause of an minor bug that wallpapers only appears on half on the screen, or were stretched so you only could see the half of the wallpaper

Now I`m back on your rom and edited the build.prob just slightly:

ro.product.model=a 700

ro.product.brand=acer

ro.product.name=a700_de

ro.product.device=picasso

Finally I could play Backstab and install wild blood, Nova3, Majesty and all the games that were blocked before cause of compatibility issues. Couldn` t say if they all run fine, cause I have to re-download them :D

For the update to 2.2 I only could imagine a display of the battery percentage like in CM10, a controlable vibration strength(I think it`s kernel related) and as I said a adjustable Cpu clockto 1.6 or 1.7 Ghz like in the Franco kernel for the Gnex. So we could all test our maximum CPU-overclock and adjust the needed Voltages ourselves.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I was just about to post 2.2, I'll re-do it tonight instead

Keyboard vibration can be controlled already, will look into other setting's

Can you post a screen shot of the battery you mean? There are a few on CM10 IRC
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OCmylife:
Oh no. I hope you don't have to compile it completely new :-/. Sorry about that.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Not a problem, am looking into a few other bits now too
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Sterist:
is Adobe Flash usable on this rom? after manually being installed
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Chris0706:
I am using flash player with it, but only works for the stock browser and its not stable but working
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
I'm using flash with Dolphin Beta with no problems.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
2.2 is out, let me know how the exFAT works out
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
OMG you're my hero! I just flashed 2.1 lol....
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
I'm having issues flashing 2.2. after flashing 2.2 with CWM 6.0.1.5 my A700 gets stuck in a bootloop. it restarts itself everytime.

I flashed back to 2.1 and everything works fine.

Just saying, I flashed stock RV18RC01_EMEA_GB and then right after iconiaN 2.2, the bootloop issue still exists. so it's not because of my previous installed german rom.

wiping data, cache and dalvik cache didn't help and no matter if I install the latest firmware or not.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] bucklyv:
I can confirm that 2.2 seems to cause an infinite boot loop.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
yeah.. let's hope Vorbeth finds the problem and fixes it :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I'm on it.

I think it may be caused by the boot.img - looking into it
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Chris0706:
!! exFAT worked on 2.0 for me ...!!

I am using a Sandisk 64GB sdcard with exFAT, no problems..
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
There was no exFAT drivers in 2.0, how did you manage to get it working?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Chris0706:
Hmm, i doubled checked now, and i am not pretty sure if its really exFAT... i formated it with a MacBook Pro because my Win8 system couldnt do the trick, and it showed up as exFAT on the Mac, but i cant copy files bigger then 4gb, so ... but the other way, my card reader says it cant read the filesystem, which could only be exFAT .. can i look up the filesystem on my tablet?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Ah yeah, they Mac's exFAT does not work on anything but a Mac.

You need to format it in windows for it to work on both systems.

I'm hitting my head here with the exFAT though as so far it works on MMC and USB-OTG, but system > settings does not see the USB-OTG drives.

I think I need to make more changes to the base system and the way it handles external usb devices.

I will get 2.3 uploaded soon, with or without the USB-OTG 100% working.

Good news is I did both a update and full wipe install and have 0 reboot's
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
So is 2.2 ready to flash, or should we wait for 2.3?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
He just said he'd upload 2.3 soon, so you may want to wait.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
I get antsy.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
It's taking an age to upload, but it is on it's way

I have very poor internet here
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
so how is it working for SD cards?

is there a problem with mounting/unmounting when they're formatted in exfat?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
So far for SDCards, I've not had any issues, although I don't have one bigger than 16GB to test with

Even USB Sticks work, they just don't show in the setting's menu

Router just crapped out, resarting upload
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
ah it's fine, no rush. I'm back to stock atm. but it shouldn't be a problem to keep my userdata right?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Lets hope 2.3 works

And yes you can just install over stock
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
I will try it now.

oh yeah, does 2D GPU acceleration increase the performance in most apps for scrolling?

I never really tried it but it's the same option that can be found in the developer options right?

So I can let it off in Aroma and can still enable it afterwards in the developer options?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] OCmylife:
No reboot here with 2.3 mate. So I think its safe to install ;)

Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 2
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
Yep, working well here.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
It works fine, but for some reason I think the animations ran more smooth on stock.

even on high performance.

I don't know if it's just me. Also I didn't wiped my tab before flashing. I only wiped the cache.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
I tried a few performance tweaks before, they didn't seem to work well, so I removed them.

I am going to start looking into other tweaks and try to fix the vold bug.

FYI the vold bug is being caused by using the kernel module & vold from the TF700, the vold.fstab is from the A700.

Running the stock rom or the GPU OC kernel I posted won't actually work with the exFAT patch as I had to fix the kernel source to allow it to load the exFAT module.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
you are talking about NTFS right?

because since 2.3, NTFS doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm not able to mount my SD card which is formatted in NTFS and worked fine on stock rom.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Damn, seems I got exFAT working and broke NTFS.

I'll look into it over the next week, I need sleep now as I'm @ work tomorrow.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] nex86:
okay. that's fine, since exfat is much better for flash memory there is no rush.

I can reformat the card and only need the NTFS support for external harddrives.

also something I wanted to ask, what has the Acer UI to do with the hidden Gameloft content in the store?

Is it maybe because it uses a different DPI ?

It would be nice if I could use the gameloft fix together with the Acer UI because I like the acer toggles more than stock toggles, they're much easier to use.

But I don't really care much about the Acer ring and lockscreen.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Vorbeth:
Changing the build.prop to allow Gameloft games to install actually stops the toggles from loading, seems they have a build.prop check that needs to be patched out to get them to load.

The only bit's that work with the Gameloft fix are the ring and lockscreen
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] ExtremeRyno:
So...Go back to 2.1 or 2.0 to use the OC Kernel? I was going to flash it this evening.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hyflex:
Hey,

Im interested in purchasing an ASUS Transformer TF700 (Infinity) and would like to know if there are any issues or problems with the tablet, what and why should I choose this tablet over competing tablets?

Thanks in advance

[Asus Transformer TF700] snake2332:
I have a TF700 and it's really nice. However, the internal storage is slow. You can see this from quadrant scores. I guess ASUS chose a really slow storage controller/chip/whatever and it can cause some slowness/lag with various things. I haven't looked into tweaking mine yet to help it, but I hear there is a browser2ram tweak that helps speed up the browser.

Also, the power and volume buttons on mine feel really cheap and brittle, and sound like they break every time I use them. Therefore, I use a couple apps to avoid having to use the power button (auto power on, screen off, volume-in-notification).

I might be looking to sell my 1 week old 32gb champagne TF700 along with 64gb sandisk microSD and TF201 dock if anyone is interested. They are in like-new condition, no scratches or anything.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Hyflex:
Thank you for your response, back when I was using my TF201 which also had the slow storage issue I never actually noticed it but I did notice the laggy browser, the browser crashes, the lightbleed, the wifi issues, bluetooth issues, awful microphone, lightbleed, screen flickering, random reboots...etc

I really hoped the TF700 would be a much more refined version but it looks like they actually went backwards with the power button and sound rockers. I don't want to pay lots of money for a device what has a cheap feel and sound to it :/

Thank you very much for that link, there are 4 issues listed in there which worry me about this product in order of importance.

- Bluetooth, I use bluetooth all the time and it's pretty much vital for me.

- Volume Buttons, I would be using the tablet a lot so I would want to feel safe pressing the buttons.

- Clicking sound, that just sounds like it's going to die, would frustrate the hell out of me because I'd be using the tablet in a quiet environment.

- Incorrect fitting, I want a smooth device not something that feels like a monkey has put it together >_<

[HTC One X] Hyflex:
I do use and did use search but was unable to find anything what sufficed my needs.

That was quite a read and looks promising, I do see some posts what are a bit of a second thought but I'm not sure if they're iphone fanboys.

- GPS?

- Wi-Fi?

- Screen Flickering? (Seen this one quite a few times on the internet)

- Overheating (Seen this one a lot too)
[HTC One X] matt95:
every phone is different, someone is facing dead digitizer, someone wifi iussue (i also faced this too), i do not have overheating and sceend flickering should be gone in the newer one x thanks to ota updates
[HTC One X] Garoto1973:
Hi. I have had iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s, galaxy s2 and now HOX and it is the best I of all those (it was kind of lousy at software at the start , laggy and awful battery) but the recent upgrades have made it super smooth and very decent battery wise. Hands down has the best screen ever, easily beating the Galaxy S3 and beating the iphone 4s by a hair (better whites IMHO). The phone is super smooth, screen is AMAZING, gps works great, is stylish.

However, make sure you can easily return your phone in case some of these show up :

- Weak wifi signal, know production issue on early batches, it is a design flaw.

- Yellow spots on screen

- Flickering on screen

I think those are the most common issues you might face. If you think a return/exchange will be difficult, I would advise you buy the SHS3 or iphone 5.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
What potential issues (that has not been mentioned already on the board) would you like to have mentioned to suffice your need?
[HTC One X] Hyflex:
True but with some devices there are issues what plague the entire model and I'd rather avoid phones which are bug happy.

Thank you very much for your lovely reply, the yellow spots and flickering wouldn't bother me that much but a weak-wifi would be a problem as I'd be using wi-fi a hell of a lot, however you mention it was in early batches so I would assume it wouldn't be the case in a newly purchased one but yeah warranty returns/exchanges would be fine so I could get them resolved fairly easy.

You might of just convinced me to buy a HTC One X :P
[HTC One X] AboulSAM:
Wifi is normal, it weakens when you block the edge on top of the phone with your hand. Normally it is good
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
That's why I'm asking this question. ;)

You will get the same answers as are already mentioned so many times.
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
I think all issues software wise have been fixed with the 2.17 update, the only thing that's left ,I mean if you develop the fault, is Wi-Fi signal for me it got weaker couple of metres from modem and the gap that the screen has where dust is gathering,I send it to repair , should get to repair center today, believe me or not I had 4 hoxes , all were faulty which pissed me off big time , so switched to gs3 but missed the hox after 1 month ,so I bought another one and guess what ? It has the issues mentioned above ,I like to think that I'm unlucky but I think the problems with hox are widespread and HTC should have done the descent thing and issue a recall
[HTC One X] Hyflex:
I see, I just didn't want a device with massive drop offs in wi-fi strength.

True, but it looks like I'm sold on the One X already.

The dust issue wouldn't be a problem at all for me, if it got severe enough I'd open it up myself and clean it out. I have a few spare Void stickers laying around :P but yeah a lot of fixes seemed to come with the 2.17 update by a lot of peoples feedback.

My next thing to find and decide is what tablet should I get? I might try my luck with a Windows 8 RT Tablet because the ASUS Transformer TF700 (Infinity) seems to have it's only array of issues which are really really putting me off, I already had a TF201 what was fault crazy.
[HTC One X] kennylovesyou:
I personally wished that i had bought an S3/Note2/nexus-phone now, latest JB Sense roms are only available for certain devices with specific CIDs, others with CIDS not on the list will have to wait for the official update.

Screen:

Brilliant, bright, clear & solid

me:

I run at the lowest setting to save battery -_-

I have a screen protector on mines after scratches showed up, so it doesn't feel as silky smooth.

Battery:

Poor.. with careful management you can get good results but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a top end device right?

me:

I carry an external usb charger now, only viable solution for days when you need to have your phone run all day and more.

Storage:

I can live with the ~28GB usable space but who doesn't want more? microsd would be awesome.

If my phone dies (my previous desire just started having the 7 vibrate problem/dead mobo problem) there's absolutely no easy way to recover the data.

Sending it off to HTC will only result in the device getting repaired/wiped + charge for having it rooted right?

me:

dropbox sync/regular backups

..what are the benefits of rooting again?
[HTC One X] madman_cro:
I dont have wifi problems since my router is on ground level and i live on seccond flor i still have 2 solid bars without speed drops, dont have dust issues too. But if you happen to have something like that trust me you wont be opening it since ih has unibody without screews. You must unglue it wich is not easy task. All that is covered in waranty if it does happen. And jellybean comes soon to and trust me it runns lot better than on s3 . since i have acces to both phones. And for tablets i must say , dont go for windows. Android is much better and i think apps are better.
[HTC One X] Garoto1973:
No problem, good luck with it! It is an amazing phone, after 6 months of having it I would say it is the best one I have ever had. It takes amazing photos too.

I have discovered one thing with Android phones, you need to work a little to get the most of them, customize them the way you like, do a little research to optimize its speed and battery, nothing out of this world but thats why I always end up recommending the iphone to my non-techie friends and family. I remember how much I hated my SGS2 at first and how I could not let go of it before I sold it!

One last piece of advise with the HOX though, do get a case for it that protect the screen edges, I dropped mine and because the glass goes to the edges it broke easily and getting a replacement screen is very time consuming!

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------

It is a stupid design flaw, I opened mine and repaired it in 10 min (the wifi antenna needs to be lifted up a little). However, I dont recommend doing that . I did it only as a last recourse as I am out of warranty and there is no HTC service center in my country.

Apparently this has been fixed on recent batches. However looks like the old damaged batches are still plentiful and are still being sold.
[HTC One X] svucinic811:
All those points are valid kenny.

I don't have a problem with storage as I only need it for photos and a little for music, heck I'd be fine with 8GB, this is huge for me.

Keeping the screen at low brightness (even at 0%) isn't a huge deal to me because the One X's screen seems to be quite a bit brighter than say the one on iPhone 4S (I remember seeing that in a tech article/YouTube video). Which means it'll still look beautiful regardless of how low you set the brightness (and upping it a bit when exposed to direct sunlight won't be a huge deal for the battery).

As for the battery - seeing as how this charming device wants you to keep using it - it leaves a lot to be desired:

The bad:

-it's non-removable; this fact alone scares me to this day...after a year or two it might become unusable and I'm not sure I'll be able to replace it anywhere in my country

-you won't get more than 4hrs screen-on time if you keep switching the apps and menus, browse the internet or play games

-when you know that the battery will seldom last over a day if you use the phone, you'll never feel a lot like gaming, which just halves the battery life

The good:

-reading on the One X, which is simply a lovely experience at 312 dpi, is quite possible for 6 hours while making a few calls and sending a few texts, and having your battery last through the day

-the stand-by time is impressive

-phone calls and music don't seem to use up a lot of juice on this phone at all

One more thing to note is that although this phone is a beauty without a match, it is slippery as hell and without a case, you're bound to drop it sooner or later, and then it will most likely shatter. Personally, I take the case off when I'm home and hold it carefully, and put it back on when I go outside.
