Thanks for another wonderful ROM.

Installed rev 3 earlier. No wipe, over previous version. No problems whatsoever. Absolutely perfect.

It really says a lot for this old tablet that when your original a500 died you went right out and purchased another secondhand when you had the choice of many other "newer" and "better" ones.

Just ran quadrant and scored 2774 @ 1.2 and 3267 @1.5. Woah.

This tablet is so smooth and stable as well as excellent battery life running this ROM.

THANKS!!!

I was having stability issues on 2.5. I did a full complete install but did NOT TB setcpu and all had been fine. The only time I under clock is for long flights. Do you recommend another CPU app I could try in the future? I'm now on 3 and all seems well. No setcpu.

Civ -

Now that you've based your Resurrection ROM on 4.04 and a700 tweaks, what are the big differences between RE-FLEXxx and FLEX Resurrection? It seems they're getting similar enough that you should simply combine them again... Any reason you're still doing the extra work in maintaining two ROMs?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
The look is different and ressurrectionn aims for 100% stability.

To many differences under the hood.

If I'm using re-FLEX ShellShock rev. 3 would I have to do a full wipe to go to this ROM?

The ROM is better than the previous one. If you had the previous one, you will not regret getting this one. With or without the Skype/bluetooth magic. If you have a different ROM and don't have Skype/bluetooth today... Then, what's to lose by trying it out and letting the rest of us know what you found? The answer is only half an hour and a titanium backup away. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] droidxxxxx:
I'll give it a try..just always wondered why that feature doesn't work..on this tab and the a100..it works great on my galaxy s3 with Bluetooth and Skype. On the tabs...it will connect..and pair..but just doesn't work..I use a professional grade Blueparrot headset..has great sound quality.. just no go with Skype on the tab..and I hate wires..so it makes matters worse..lol

Civato, The Keeper of the A500 Flame

Civ,

Many thanks for this ROM. It is silky smooth and the vipermod really works. I was on your JB ROM and the sound was very low. (The device's issue)

With this ROM and the audio enhancements, my audio loudness and quality has improved no end.

Many thanks for your continued efforts! :good:

News on Rev6.6

News:

Multi battery icons , % or stock (12 different mods) selectable from within settings , no need to flash.

Aroma option = customization:

All possible combinations of mods , buttons, framework

6 different framework mods

8 different acer rings

8 different systemUI mods

2 different ring buttons

This makes you can make 576 combinations with framework/systemUI/buutons/ringbuttons.

and 8 different rings = 4608 different combinations of looks , do we count the battery looks with it is 55296 different combinations. = what is the flexibility of this upcoming rom?

And then I didn't count the bootanimation and font/clock mod with it.

You will be blown away with all the flexibility that comes in one zip of only 470MB.

Warning for upgraders

Warning to upgraders - Maybe I was unlucky so please post your results...

I installed this new version over the last 6.6 over 6.5 and resulted in numerous errors (mainly google aps, keyboard, gallery and so on).

Also I had no system bar, home buttons, sys tray or anything.

Currently doing a full wipe to hopefully fix..

EDIT:

Ah, well, all good now. Well sometimes it's nice to have a fresh clean install. No idea what the issue was but take extra care if you have important stuff on your tab.

(yes yes yes, I do what you all do, ignore the warnings and just dive in - it's half the fun isn't it?)
[Acer Iconia A500] btafoya:
It is always a good idea to run fix permissions in recovery after flashing which may have solved your problem. Been my experience especially on a dirty flash.
[Acer Iconia A500] ta-wan:
thanks to btafoya.

I now have a full clean install of this from and it's great as ever.

I've just noticed though that I have no battery monitor in the notification area.

also if I go to settings > battery. the stats show that screen and system are draining battery but no other app is listed as having an effect on the battery at all.

could this be due to the mods I chose? anyone else having issues? I'm running, blue, ics buttons and Ubuntu font. plus small jellybean clock.

cheers!

Hi Civ,

OP says the kernel supports zram, but it doesn't seem to work. I tried the command 'cat /proc/swap' but it comes out empty. Does zram need to be enabled somehow? :confused:

Anyway, I'm currently infatuated with Turbo Boost hard swap &have been using it on my phone. I've requested for & received confirmation that the next version of Turbo Boost hard swap would natively support our beloved A500 in automatic install via Aroma. :D Currently it works if installed manually by extracting the relevant scripts to init.d. :cool:

Google Play Store Missing

Anyone experience an issue with the Google Play Store missing in the 6.6 Installer? I am restoring it with Titanium Backup so is not an issue to me but wanted to make sure it was not a problem for others.

Was a dirty install from 6.0.

Civato, again THANKS a whole bunch! Fantastic rom!

:good:
[Acer Iconia A500] svein01:
Umm... Yes? What does the question have to do with pictures of your girlfriend? If you're worrying about losing any data (which will be intact), just copy all your files to a computer or to dropbox/google drive. Word of warning: if that idea didn't strike you: should you be flashing anything at all? Honestly, I don't mean to be an asshole at all. I've just seen too many people doing the wrong thing before thinking. Not that you're one of them.

Questions about alarm sounds

I just updated from 6.5 to 6.6. I did a full wipe of everything this time as I wanted a totally clean install. Everything installed great and I really like the new stuff in aroma. Now I can delete my old customizer zip file from the older versions of the ROM.

I am having one challenge and I do not know if it is a ROM thing if a HD Widgets thing. I use HD widgets Just for the sense style flip clock. To me it is the best one out there next to the actual Sense clock. Anyway, on the older versions of the ROM, I could just touch the clock face and it would bring up the "Create Alarm" panel, and I could set up a repeating alarm, and choose a custom alarm sound from my own mp3 files.

I just tried doing the same thing in the 6.6 ROM, and i can create the alarm, but when I try to choose the alarm sound using the "Go to my files" option, I get the following error message: Application Package com.sec.android.app.myfiles not found.

Is that file supposed to be in the ROM or is it part of HD Widgets?

I had the same problem. After factory reset everything was fine, then I restored data and the problem was back again. I searched for any files related to Google Playstore in /data and deleted them - now everything is ok again.

I am once again experiencing issues with my A500 not waking when I press the power button and have to reset it. I didn't have this problem until 6.5 and still exists in 6.6. Flashed 6.0 just to rule out hardware and it works correctly. I would stay with 6.0 but obviously there are many reasons not to. Any help would be appreciated!

[MENTION=3986004]civato[/MENTION] ? Anyone?
[Acer Iconia A500] thafrogggg:
Did you try doing a clean wipe of the internal memory before installing the rom? I had that same issue on 6.5 and when I started out with a clean slate, I no longer had the issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] btafoya:
I did not, will give that a shot after a good backup. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] btafoya:

[Acer Iconia A500] btafoya:
This did not work, but replacing the kernel did solve the issue. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
More than likely it was being called from a script in init.d, which is why the setting doesn't stick when you re-boot, or you could check build.prop. If not anything in init.d, then I would think you could add it in build.prop. This way it loads on boot.

On my A500, I am on Rev 6.5 and everything is working perfectly. However, I now have an A510, so I will be passing my A500 down the family food chain.

I want to install Rev 6.6. So could someone please refresh my memory...

What do I need to format in CWM to clean out all of my old account settings and google apps that I own, etc.

In other words, make the A500 like factory but using Rev 6.6.....

Try setting it to 1.6 cpu speed, enabling dynamic fsync, and 250 zram. Its amazing. Even real racing 3 runs almost perfectly smooth! And dead trigger on highest settings is smooth too! ROM is amazing

Sent from Mars using my SGH-T989D
[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
I've never really known what the dynamic fsync and zram were really for. Thanks for the tip. I've set them as you suggested and while the tablet seems smoother it didn't seem to affect the Antutu benchmark much. Should it? The Antutu summary charts show some A500 users with scores in the 14000 range (with one guy in the 28000 range), while mine is only about 7000 when clocked at 1400. Any idea how they are getting scores that high?

Also, any other tweaks that would improve performance? I see it includes support for the v6 supercharger, for instance, but have no idea what would be the optimum settings for this rom.

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] bobiscool07:
You rebooted your tablet, correct?

Simply put dynamic fsync waits for your screen to turn off before it writes system files, rather than always using CPU power to write it down, so this give more CPU power to what ever you are doing. Just be careful not to crash your tablet - there's a chance the files will get crupt. zram creates a section on your storage, which basically works like extra RAM for you, so when you're multi tasking, the tablet will write the background program to the storage compressed, until you need it again.

I'll run a test and see what I get

Edit: I got 7600 which is about 1500 over the default performance. As for the top two, they seem like bogus results as the S4 with it's quad core gets just over those numbers, so this tablet would not be able to choke out those numbers. Some did reduce the screen resolution, which would give speed benefits, but the the only difference I can see. to my knowledge, supercharger is already included and tweaked in this ROM

I've tested the JB ROM and ICS ROMs, this is by far the higest performing. JB came up at about 6500
[Acer Iconia A500] BakaNeko59:
Okay thanks. I didn't THINK those were realistic numbers, but didn't really compare them to other items like my S3 (aw man, now I gotta get an S4 - why do they make phone contracts last two years but then come out with new phones after just one?)

Went back to 6.5. 6.6 was constantly losing wifi even though it said it was connected, and touch screen worked badly when plugged in. I have neither of those problems on 6.5. And yes I had done a full system and data wipe before installing 6.6. Not a complaint, just mentioning it.
[Acer Iconia A500] spexwood:
Yeah, that's where I'm looking. I was following the path according to the first post... but I don't have the option!

Just wiped 6.2 using TWRP 2.1.3, now trying to flash 6.6 cuz however I do not get past 'Booting Primary Kernelimage'

Any suggestions? Was running 6.2 but was getting all glitchy.
[Acer Iconia A500] ta-wan:
You could try reinstalling 6.2, if it works then maybe your 6.6 is corrupt. If 6.2 does not work then maybe your recovery is the issue.

There should not be an issue due to wiping but if 6.6 image and recovery seem fine then perhaps try permissions or some kind of wipe.
[Acer Iconia A500] tc80tc80:
Could someone please confirm that HDMI out is working on A500 with 6.6. I plugged in my A500 to the hdmi cable that works with my A510 for the first time and I get no hdmi output.

Have I overlooked something blindly obvious?

UPDATE: Nevermind. Turns out that its the Acer monitor I was connecting with. For some reason it likes the output of the A510 but not the A500. The A500 outputs at 720P to my 50" Samsung fine.

Anyone download and flash Rev7 yet? I ask because I've downloaded it 3x now but when I flash it I get Apapousek's CM10.1 ROM??? I've never downloaded that ROM so I know I'm not getting the DLs confused. Aroma doesn't seem to have the standard Honeycomb configuration options, even though the opening Aroma screen claims to be installing ReFlex rev7.

I was running Civ's CM10 ROM, but got frustrated with the wifi always crumping out requiring a reboot and the disappearing lock ring (not knocking Civ's work -- it seems to be inherent to all CM10 ROMs on the A500). So I decided to go back to good ol' reliable ReFlex, but can't seem to DL this latest version.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cpt_Chaos:
internetpilot, if you are talking about the new version of this ROM, I downloaded it soon after the release and everything seems fine. Its running smoothly and I am no expert but I can only find some minor tweaks, but it is still awesome.

Just try downloading it from the original post link on the first page. That is what I did.

For me it was an Aroma problem where I had a couple other ROM zips (Aroma based) on my phone (either on external or internal SD) and the Aroma installation would get confused.

I'm having a strange issue..I was running this rom.. All seemed to be doing good. When I came home last night after using it at work I noticed it was running a little sluggish so I went to reboot it. It never made it past the boot logos. Now I can get into recovery and flash whatever I want but it never gets past the CyanogenMod booting primary kernel image screen. Any ideas on what might be causing it to stick at this boot logo screen? Even if I install a different ROM or try a backup it still does the same thing. I've never had this happen on this tab. Something similar happened on my a100 and I had to send it back to get a new mainboard put in I hope its not the same on this rom.. I doubt it still under warranty.
