No. Odin is a Samsung proprietary program. It's only for their devices

This is by far the best and most stable rom i have flashed. It literally has all the features one could ever want and need for the a500. I've come to accept that this will be the highest version of android os and will stickwith this rom.

The only minor issue i would say is the installable doesnt install all the core files if you customize the options you want using aroma installer. If you accept the default, then you will be ok. Thank you to all thedevs that created this and if someone finds a bug free rom above ics,please do share as i have not had luckwith any of them being terribly stable.
[Acer Iconia A500] clim30j:
Dear coness (",) if your Acer tablet is A500 (not A501), then another ROM by the same civato sir at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935582

is very good also. It is Jelly Bean's 4.1.2.

Please note that this latest version Rev3.4 does not seems to work on A501 (but Rev2.3 works).
[Acer Iconia A500] coness:
I agree that the rom you suggested is solid, but i found that this one is more stable and less of battery drain. I can run all apps/games with no issues. I also like the quick settings menu and like the acer ring ....don't make fun of me for that. :P
[Acer Iconia A500] OKAstro:
Does this ROM have an extended power menu (reboot, recovery, etc.) and quiet hours.

Civato's JB 4.12 does have these, but I have not found them in this ICS ROM...thought maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

I know about Quickboot and some quiet hours apps in the play store, but really like the JB versions

Thanks

No, I think not. I'm using the included quickboot widgets ....

Hello, I will trie this ROM, but where can I get the Gamemizerfile from the first post, the link is down there?
[Acer Iconia A500] tc80tc80:
I realize that it has been a while but I decided to update my son's A500 which was running Rev5.5 (fully working with no problems) to Rev7.0.

Install went fine as expected, but on boot, the Play icon is missing and a number of other icons from Google apps are also missing.

So what did I overlook?
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
Probably you need to just install gapps.
[Acer Iconia A500] tc80tc80:
I did after trying everything else. But only a couple of the Google apps got installed.

The odd part is why going from 5.5 to 7.0 caused the Google apps to disappear in the first place.
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
Well gapps are stored on system partition and every update first formats it and the installs updated version. All your installed apps are on data partition so thats why they stay after update. And it's gapps dependent what apps are installed. There are different versions of them around xda.

Hello there, i´m trying to install this rom again, after a long time. I already have the latest custom rom 5.0.2 made by Thor.

But once the installation it´s finishide in TWRP, it doesn´t boot at all, just freezes...

Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] danixquick:
From Thor rom u must use the approach down here and it will works:

timmydeans root tool -tdv4- will reset partitions, and downgrades you to a pre-rooted HC3.2.1 with cwm 1.7

To Downgrade using tdv4:

1. Do not connect your tab to your pc

2. Run the tool till you see the window telling you to put yr tab in apxmode

3. Put your tab in MANUAL apx mode using the button combo

4. Connect your tab to your pc now

5. Let the tool continue - you should see the big white PASS when its done!
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Thought I'd try again just in case this got lost in all the thanks posts (that's what the thanks button is for :) )

Anyone else ever experience the sleep of death with this ROM and have ideas on what to do about it?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
99.9% users never got sleep of death. The people that got it can use wakelock tool or ask Acer to solve it.

I believe if you use a stock Acer ICS rom you would get sleep of death also?

Sleep of death was a problem on the very first ICS roms based on the leaks but it is long gone now. I never had one.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Also apparently some of the Tegra2 chips are prone to SOD. Some people will get them on any ROM they try, and some people won't. Unfortunately that's the reality that some users face, and apparently there is nothing that can be done about it.
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Sounds grim :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
No problem. It always seemed to me that RE-FLEXxx has been 100% stable for me, so I was just wondering. Just trying to save you some work ;). Although I did experience the "loss of root" and SU FC close problem recently mentioned. I ended up wiping and reinstalling and everything's happy again. I haven't even had a single SOD since I switched to RE-FLEXxx while I was still getting them on FlexReaper (but that was a long time ago).

Thanks for everything.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

You can always use a wakelock program (like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en). That completely killed my SOD problems back when I was having them, and did not result in much more battery drain.

i have an iconia tab a501 and i want to know if i install this rom on a501 i could use the inbuilt 3g sim card and use internet connection on 3g without problem
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
I am pretty sure the answer is no. I do not believe this rom has the 3G stuff in it as it is made for the A500 not the A501.
[Acer Iconia A500] Menace2you:
Civato, is there a way to change the battery indicator to show a different color when it is charging.

Groeten dennis, en bedankt voor deze geweldige rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
By modding it, I will make some more mods but just no time now, sorry.

In the new release I will do it. Don't ask when .

First update the cm10 flex ROM. Then this.

EDIT:

Update is coming,

Cleaned out the aroma

changed the battery icon color when charging (it turns grey and blinks blue-grey-blue-grey when charging) @ user request.

Also added the USB speaker support @ ezterry lik ein cm10-flex

updated apps.

It's a small update , biggest change is battery icon charging color and USB speaker support.
[Acer Iconia A500] ryryrocco:
would using the option in rom toolbox to change the icon accomplish this

i can try and report back

just curious if this would work. I don't see why it wouldn't
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
No problem, but use the thanks button... assists in managing the size of threads.
[Acer Iconia A500] ryryrocco:
WOW after running this ROM for a few days I feel it really is the perfect ROM for this device. Very smooth and very stable and awesome battery life.

I've been using your ROMs since back in the flexreaper days and RE-FLExxx since the original version. That being said, I always thought the v6 supercharger settings were already applied. last night I realized that in fact they are not set and the ROM just has the built in support for you to apply v6 settings without having to use a script manager program.

I ran supercharger following the directions in the OP last night and the difference in speed is very noticeable. There is absolutely zero lag and everything renders very smooth with no screen glitches or hiccups at all.

AMAZING

thanks once again civato
[Acer Iconia A500] twistedknickers:
I have 1 tiny little problem. I use my usb mouse and I've noticed that it is slightly out by about 3 pixels, its nothing really but I was wondering if there is a way I can calibrate this myself...also I would love to change the colour as it sometimes gets lost when my screen is running low brightness..

I've seen mouse mods available but I don't want to destabilize this rom..any ideas anyone?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Icon for USB mouse is in framework-res.

The reason that it is off a little is because I adjusted the size.

Remember the rom is based on a rom build for the full HD tablet A700. Meaning the original USB mouse pointer was huge, causing users to ask me to change it.

Note on up coming update.

GoogleTTS supports text to speech now with GooglNow installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] sda.171:
Exciting features the update is gonna bring xD. Just wanted to ask if a louder sound update like in ur cm10 roms will be there or not. Just asking! No problems if it is not there xD.

All is working fine except for the Facebook app. Tried wipe, unistall it (Can't do it even from the drawer).

As well the usb speaker dosent do anything (I know it's under testing, but mine don't work. I have JLab ones).

Anyway it's an outstanding work. :victory:

Hi Civ

Here you go...

I just plugged in and then wait for a few secs and then out. Looks fine but still the sound comes out of the tab's speakers and no sound out of the USB speaker. If you and ezterry needs anything else just let me know.

I also upload the log for the youtube error.

My mistake, sorry... I said was the facebook app but it's the youtube app...

I've tried uninstall it with Titanium backup and replace it with a fresh install from the play store but it still crashes.

I love this rom, its my favorite of all the ones I've tried, but anyone else notice that the wifi is VERY slow on this?

UPDATE

15-Nov-2012:

RE-FLEXxx-ShellSHOCK_Rev4.5

-Default kernel is now the V1.01 @1.0GHz but you can select the 1.5GHz pre-overclocked kernel in the Aroma installer

- All Google APPs moved to the Aroma installer and are installed in data , so can be removed within the app drawer or settings/apps/downloaded (Maps, Music2, YouTube, StreetView, GMail, Calendar)

-Aroma installer reorganized = All apps are now chose able at your own preference. Select nothing, you get really a barebone naked ICS 4.0.4 rom.

-Updated apps

The reason for this installation change is that it probably will be the last update in a long time. This rom is 99.9% stable for daily use (I would say much better as what Acer gives you and with lots of more options)

This way you can reflash the rom without any problems with updated apps that are in data.

If you install this rom the first time you can choose to install the GoogleApps/PlayStore like, pppWidget Maps , GMail,....

These apps are installed in data.

(Please take a look at the Aroma content table)

Loving this last release. It seems so much faster than I remember the last revision. ( been doing a little rom jumping) I just need to figure out if the Google now will work for me.

One thing I was wondering, is anyone else having trouble with the Korean keyboard installing even if not selected? Not really a big deal and I love the look of the keyboard but I figured it might be mentioned.

Thanks again for the hard work!

This rom is the best... but one thing not sure if it has anything to do with the Rom.

My wifi signal is a bit weak compared to my HTC one XL in the same room connect to the same router. I get one bar on my a500 and 3-4 on my HTC one XL.

I have noticed this at a friends place also.

Any ideas how to boost it on my a500?

Which OC app do you use with your own ROMs?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:

Setcpu , but I use the pre-overcloked 1.5GHz kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] jbm76:
Thanks.. I might have to do a full wipe...
[Acer Iconia A500] slotsman:
Hi Civ,

I do agree with you that this ROM is touching perfection. Since You release it, I have been using it without any problems except on the prior rev. were the Youtube app started to crash, but after installing this last rev., now it's working fine.

I really think that I will keep using it for a long time (or at least Jellytime is stable enough), because of the stability, speed and options like You mention. All is smooth and user friendly.

Just one observation and I know it's under testing, is that the USB external speaker still not working. I really hope that You guys could sort it.

Congratulations to All Dev's that helped and participated on the making of RE-FLEXxx-ShellSHOCK!!! and all started as a sidekick to another rom.

Cheers CIv, and thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] steveh_131:
I've experimented a lot with kernels and governors trying to get it smoothed out.

So far I've had the best luck with the godmachine kernel and the savagedzen governor. This thing is crazy fast now and doesn't seem to ever go above 1200mhz.

Just an fyi for anyone else having lag issues.

I've used this rom for over an hour and I have to say, this is quite exceptional. I finally took the plunge and rooted my A500. After that, that rest wan inevitable. I studied the forums for three days comparing tutorials. :victory:

Any way, thanks for such a great ROM. Thanks to all those involved in it's development as well. :good:
[Acer Iconia A500] jerrt010:
I get this same sort of thing sometimes but only in the stock browser and usually when I hit a page with lots of flash. I always figured it was just CPU load issues and not really the rom's fault. Now I do have the occasional problem along the same lines with the apps. Sometimes, and usually when the browser freezes for a minute or crashes out none of my app icons will respond. I can switch between apps using the recent app button, but any icons I press on the home screen just get the blue glow and nothing happens. Same thing in the app drawer. I have had to just shutdown and restart to get this to come back to life. Again, anyone else having any similar problems?

On a side note Civ, I see where you say this from is your daily driver. Fast and smooth. I get almost the same results but do get slow downs. What do you think the chances that my decision to use setcpu might have on my performance. Just wanted your thoughts.

After some more thinking I realized that both times I have reflashed I selected swype and it installed the Korean keyboard. Possible error in the script or am I just crazy?
[Acer Iconia A500] jbm76:
I have tried a full wipe, but I still have the weak wifi signal...I am pretty sure it was like that on HC too... but not 100% sure...

Update

18-Nov-2012:

-This update was needed because of the script error regarding keyboard options, I took the liberty to add a new mod and made some changes in Aroma installer.

-Script error fixed in aroma regarding keyboard options

-Apps updated

-New mod with blue Acer buttons and different SystemUI & Framework mod.

-Aroma installer changes: Layout options changed , now you can pick framework mods separate from the SystemUI(buttons), this way you can make more layout combinations.

New mod:

Acer bleu modded buttons , SystemUI & framework modded a little with no transparency.

I installed this ROM (full wipe / format system / factory reset etc) but on every reboot or wake up I get the message 'Configuratie mobiel netwerk is gestopt'.... (you know the what this means ;)

Nice rom; smooth, fast and lovelyyyyy BUT...

since previous FlexxxROM, I have many wifi drops.

So I decided to update my previous ROM with this one, DIDN'T DO any data wipe (only dalvik).

The only problem I faced was the SU not active. Before finding how to fix it, I used the tablet for a day... and no WIFI drops.

I finally find how to fix the SU problem (deleting cache in applications - thanks to the person who tells this in a thread - don't remember his name) and............... the WIFI drop is back !

So it seems that is a SU related ? I checked this thread and "3c" said :

So... any clue ? (I changed permissions for "dhcpd-wlan0.lease" to rw-rw-r--. Don't know if this will fix anything ? :confused:

JellyBean Acer Stock Look with new AcerDark framework
