Gspps flashed and settings for buttons are stock?

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ckran:
I didn't even realize you could change the buttons, so I hadn't changed them. I found

Settings > System > Navigation

I deleted the Recent button and added it back. Now it's good. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok boys and girls, this thread is open for business, please report any test build issues here and I will address them in the trees.

Currently only CM10/4.1 issues relating to the builds by me and posted here, please.

A101 support is being attempted next build, I'll need very detailed reports and logs for this stuff, I've never built against RIL from scratch before. I don't have a ton of time for this so if it can't be done I'll drop 3G support.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jared_schaefer:
Is there a new release or are you just getting restarted? It's been a while so any bugs are kinda fuzzy.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Starting anew, any changes from the previous builds were lost in the PC fire, so I had to start over. There is a "new" build from 7-15 available now, and another in the oven with tons of stuff updated and added in for fun.

Basically consider all reports and fixes/changes from the previous B1-B5 ROMs null and void, and starting over from 7-15 as the first build which is why I'm not giving them B numbers now, just build dates. I even had to add back in rotation lock switch handling.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jared_schaefer:
Cool, thanks for the love!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I've always shown the A100 love, its just been behind the scenes. I've been helping..probably 10 people now build and whatnot for this device, just nothing has come of it yet, or it hasn't been posted here, it may be elsewhere, I don't really go anywhere besides here and the thrive forums.

Anyways I'm cleaning up and preparing for something more fun then boring old CM10 ;) An A100 project I never got to finish just may finally be finished soon.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok guys new build is online, 7.31.

Updated? Oh yeah.

Updated sources (for what there is now on 4.1)

Added a bunch of stuff in, arranged some stuff. Full rundown can be found on github, but heres some:

Experimental 3G/RIL support for A101 devices!

Memory management, in a couple places now, to help with memory leak issues. While it may not prevent the memory leaks, it should prevent it from impacting the system so badly. Thank you, nVidia :rolleyes:

Dock settings added for those with the dock. Does anyone even have one?

BT DUN, WiFi P2P and WiFi Direct support added (experimental)

For those that noticed, last build rotation lock switch was probably broken, this is resolved here.

Music Visualization overlay settings

Add large heap to launcher2

Tuning of the boardconfig and device files for UI.

Probably more I'm forgetting.

What didn't change?

Kernel is the same prebuilt as before, no kernel side changes were made. Yet.

Still stock GCC and Toolchain.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Link to 7/31 is missing in the downloads post. Only 7/15 is there right now.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You can't just go to pio-masaki.com and download it? :p

Edit: Ok its added in
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
I did that myself but.... I figured I better let you know before others chime in saying the link is missing. :silly:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yup I figured, I added a little note about that, just in case :highfive:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Running 7/31 here (obviously). SD card shows its "preparing" when inserted but otherwise its not mounting correctly. I had to do a very weird way of saving this Catlog since it wouldn't let me save it to the internal memory. So I did a copy and paste to my GMail then e-mailed it to my main ISP e-mail. From there it saved oddly in an HTML file which I then converted to .txt so it could be uploaded here. Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Remind me, this is the same issue I think B5 had, but did the last build I did do this? Not a single person said anything about it, so I dunno if it had it or not.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
I had just downloaded the 7/15 build when you updated saying the 7/31 build was up so didn't get a chance to try it. I'll see if it's doing it on 7/15 and get back to you in about 10-15 minutes.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You don't have to, I found the issue.

Apparently it was still using init paths from 4.0, don't ask me how between B4 and B5 the paths got screwed up and reverted to 4.0, but they somehow managed to. Now I'm a little concerned about the rest of the init being correct...anyways new one in the oven, this should fix mounts.

Edit: I'm wiped out, dealing with the A100 for 6 hours today, 4 of them straight through, is enough. I'm letting it build while I go watch MASH lol. Build will be up tomorrow.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Weird how the paths changed between B4 and B5... that's technology for us sometimes. I'll test the new build once its up... tomorrow. Get some sleep buddy. And thanks for all the hard work.

And yeah I did test the 7/15 build before you posted the info..... go figure you that you found the issue while I was testing but aw well.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mixednuts:
So tempted to rip the tablet outta my mom's hands and start playing with it :p

Great to see the increased attention on the A100. Never overlooked.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
New build is available:

8.01.13:

Addressed path issue in init, should now have working mounts again (carried over from the B5 issue).

Lockscreen rotation should be active again even with the lock screen switch in use in the ROM, vs previous builds where lock screen rotation was just plain missing if the switch was included in the build. Fixes complaints from a year ago :p
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] josegalre:
in build 8.01.13, still does not mount external microsd! and thank you for continue to support this tablet!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I can't tell if you're excited it didn't work, are yelling that it doesn't work, or just in a fantastic mood...lol

Minor change, and by minor I mean I deleted the entire section and started over again, to the mounts again. I've taken the Thrive as the base since it still uses its external sd just fine, and, well, I wrote it, so why not :silly:

Just building a boot.img this time, no need for an entire ROM for this.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] digittante:
3 new/updated builds in 3 days? Glad to see you're back at it!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Oh forgot to post that the B2 version was uploaded yesterday lol. External SD should work again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pachezPRO:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK!!:good:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
May want to wait, had a used report it didn't boot. Have another one in line for today.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
New build is up

I can almost promise it actually works this time!

See change log and the latest trees diary entry in it's thread for details, but mounts should ALL work, and storage settings should no longer crash.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Firstly, great to see you back developing for the A100 pio ! I am still making do with mine for the moment as my next big purchase needs to be a new laptop so the Nexus 10 must wait.

Thanks for the latest release of your CM10 ROM; I tried it yesterday and didn't hit upon any major snags. Wifi and GPS both work fine... I haven't tried bluetooth yet. Not sure if it is my imagination but it seems smoother than the previous version I was using (an older version with tablet interface with a couple of personal zipfile alterations). I noticed on Rayman Jungle Run that there is no longer any slowdown in "windy" sections.

I am having a couple of problems with the phablet interface on the new ROM with regard to the menu bar buttons. In portrait, the touch points for the BACK and PREVIOUS APPS buttons are not in line with the onscreen icons. You have to touch towards the centre of the screen for each of them. If you add additional buttons to the bar then this effect is lessened and the touch points are off by slightly less. In landscape, this is not a problem.

Aside from the button issue, I would like to restore the tablet interface to your latest release as I like the extra screen space it gives in landscape over the phablet version and I find the interface runs alot smoother....

but am not sure how to go about doing it...

Firstly I tried an app off XDA called TabletizerA4 designed to force the Nexus 7 into tablet mode. I would not install and came up with a message about "unable to parse" something something something (can't remember the words).

Then I tried changing the dpi in the buildprop but that didn't initiate tablet mode.

Finally, I tried swapping the whole "framework" folder from your last tablified release into the new ROM and to my surprise it worked! Everything showed up ok including your new additions in the menu for "Dock". However, I am getting an "SD Card damaged" notice everytime I boot :crying: .

Which elements would I need to transfer to initiate tablet mode without screwing things up?

Thanks in advance for any advice you are able to give.

P.S. In the wifi menu, I noticed there is now a Wifi Direct category!? I assume this is non functioning for the old tablets like the A100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You can just swapping the framework named files in the framework folder, not the entire folder, so just framework.jar and framework-res.apk, otherwise not really, its done when I build it.

If you can wait while I work out the quirks you can use PAC which allows all 3 UI types to be used, and/or carbon and whatever else I pump out, with my other devices I work with like 8 ROMs. If you only want CM builds then I'll probably need to build you another one in tablet ui.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Thanks for the quick response. I tried your suggestion and the ROM booted .... still has the phablet UI :confused: . I may do a little more faffing to see what results I can get but otherwise I am happy to wait for a PAC or anything else you make down the line.

Oh, thought it was perhaps worth adding that I just tested bluetooth and it is working on your current ROM.

Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Hmm now that I think about it, systemui would be the one to bring the tablet ui not framework lol try bringing that over also. Meanwhile if this build turns out alright carbon will be available today, I think. The A100 developed an odd issue where I can't mount data in recovery so I can't factory reset anymore. Go figure. It means I'm rather limited to what I can test on clean flashes, dirty flashing PAC and carbon is a big no no, they don't get along.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Switched systemui.apk and still no joy, so it must be something in the framework folder that's the key. Nevermind, I will wait for your Carbon ROM.

Vis a vis your DATA mount issue... Does that mean you will have to revert back to full Acer stock and then re-root/bootloader unlock?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Not sure what it means, and I don't want to strain it doing a full reset like that, we should all know I managed to kill a brand new device in less then 2 months developing on it, a used one...well you do the math lol.

Data mounts fine outside of recovery, which is good I suppose, it's not bricked, and I've seen this before on the Thrive, but on the Thrive I have NVFlash access, so I'm not sure what to try on this thing.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Do you have an old nandroid you can restore to see if it also stops the problem?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yes and no, it doesn't, I'm not an ameteur :p
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Ha ha - I am. Just thought it was worth suggesting as one of those hugely simple things that might have got overlooked in the search for something specific. Kinda like giving the telly a bash when the screen flickers (in the old days of CRT).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] digittante:
I ran into that problem with that A100 when the internal sd was encrypted. I reflashed the stock recovery, then rebooted using the force update button sequence to force-restore the stock ROM from the external SD. Might work again for you.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Did you happen to be using twrp? I always use it, but it keeps doing this on 2 tegra2 devices...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] digittante:
Correct-o-mundo. TWRP wasn't fully functional on the a100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Hmm I may need to look into this. Or update cwm. Or both lol
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Thankfully I haven't had that issue come up for me on TWRP 2.6.0.0 so maybe I'm lucky so far.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
If anybody wants a TabletUI, it doesn't have to be done with rebuilding the rom. There are tools on XDA for creating flashable ZIPS to convert your device to Tabui.

If anyone wants, I could probably whip up a tabui flashable ZIP for Pio's CM10 builds but you guys might want to start thinking towards the future and get used to the Phab, lol.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I wasn't to worried since the 4.2 Roms I work with allow switching on the fly, and cm10 is dead.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Eewwww, never I say, never! ;)

For me, the phablet interface is a backward step for tablets... clustering the buttons at the centre of the bar far away from thumbs seems a really odd UI choice on Google's part, not to mention stealing precious screen space at the top with the statusbar (in landscape) on an already cramped screen ratio.

If you could make a flashable ZIP, that would be super, as it would cater to personal preferences (or maybe I am the only old relic who likes the old tab interface :( ) ... or if you could post a linky to the said tools, that would be most helpful.

Good to see you back Hardslog... alot of exciting stuff happening here.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Phablet ui was used for 7" because most still use it in portrait vs landscape, in portrait tablet ui is somewhat wasted where phablet is a little better use of screen real estate. Its not like the a100 even has HD resolutions or anything, so you can't fit much on there anyways.

They also figure the average user is only dual thumbing while typing, which isn't affected by UI style, but in use a persons holds with one hand and pokes with the other, in this case putting them in the middle helps, and isn't moving it from thumbs, but towards your finger. With them now in the middle the clock and status being on the same bar to the right isn't ideal, but up top and pull able from the middle is, also moved towards your finger.

Of course not all users use their devices the same, but if you really watch how you use your device on portrait, if you do, then you may understand the choices made in the UI. Maybe not agree or like, but at least see why.

Personally, I don't use a status bar or navigation bar, so the UI in use doesn't even affect me, and uses no screen at all, period.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Tablet ui I think is too clustered. Just too small of a screen for the quick toggles. But its always been faster.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Well after some tinkering and a little reading, I have got a tablet UI working of sorts...

I replaced services.jar and android.policy.jar with versions from an old Pio CM10 build that had the tablet UI.

When I rebooted, things went a little... erm... odd... with lots of strange messages informing me that "The app *!?% has violated it's self inforced strict mode" at the point when it should have been saying "upgrading apps". No matter, I left it for 10 mins... Lo and behold, a working tablet UI! yay.

It's not exactly perfect; initial investigations have shown the lock screen is a bit messed up. It reports "correct!" in place of showing the battery charging and "try again" when not plugged in. I guess these are messages from the unlock process that are showing where the battery status should be.

But it's headed in the right direction at least... I'm sure you can come up with a better result than me Hardslog. :o
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If you read more about it, you'll see I said to NOT to do exactly what you did, especially frameworks from that long ago, there have been thousands of changes and commits since then. You'll need to either modify the current, or more up to date version, to keep those kinds of issues from showing up.

You were on the right track, just using stuff that's way to old and no longer compatible.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Here is a TabUI patch for y'all to play around with. I haven't tested it but it should work.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Hardslog's TabUI Patch

Works a treat :victory: Thank you very much Hardslog. I was making do with my zip hackjob, but this restores the battery charge status and eliminates the "Upgrading" errors I was getting.

I had tried to follow a guide on XDA last night which involved decompiling the existing .dex files, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, given that I had never done anything like that before.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dontezuma:
GPS fix?

I searched the thread and it seems like everyone's GPS is working. I tried to get a fix and was using GPS Status. I picked up one or two satellites, only with yellow bars. My phone, using the same app, locked 12. Do I need to flash a GPS Fix? if so, does anyone have one that worked? Or do I have a borked radio?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Did it work any better on a different ROM? Its always been that crappy for me on my old A100s and I haven't bothered checking on this one. If it sees satellites then GPS is working at least.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - MoKee
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dontezuma:
No, I was on another BAKED ROM and it did not work at all. The satellites I got didn't lock up, but I got a gray bar that went to yellow, never green. Is there a way to test? I know on other ROMs (for other phones) there has been a GPS Fix zip floating around. Would that apply, or break something?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well flashing things for other devices is a fantastic way to brick, so that's up to you. I was under the impression GPS was working in that ROM, though. I'll be looking at it again and maybe update it a little bit.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dontezuma:
Ha! Yeah, I'm not flashing ANYthing that has not been cleared by devs or other users, so that's why I was asking. Please, other users, let me know (anyone else out there?) if it's working for you or not.

GPS is nice, but this is my son's tablet (8 years old), so if it never works, no big deal. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bruces2:
Using GPS Test, first fix is 59 sec., after that, 10 sec or less...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
GPS working fine here. Like the previous poster says, the first lock on takes some time....

If the bars are grey (I assume you are using the GPS test app) then that means the GPS is working but that the signal is not very strong; that isn't because of the ROM though. You only need worry if no bars come up at all.

Try using GPS in a different location where you might get a better signal (away from buildings etc)... Future connections should be better and faster. I even get a signal indoors now, which I didn't on the previous version of CM10 I was using.

[MENTION=4630655]pio_masaki[/MENTION]

Your CM10.1 is running pretty rock solid. I installed it with the 080122013 gapps and I think it is time to put CM10 to rest. Android 4.2 is much better with a phablet format.

Stock performance is much better on CM10.1. The portrait nav buttons are aligned better, it has expanded desktop mode

Camera does crash when changing MP values, but why would someone want to change the camera quality from bad to worse? LOL!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Would the mic happen to work? I doubt it but I never checked for it lol

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - MoKee
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Oop, that would be a negative. Mic not picking up any sound.

Wifi seems to have cut out and not connect (or find networks) after waking from sleep. I'll see if it does that again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah I think WPA_supplicant is messing with WiFi since the change to bcmdhd, its one of the things I mean to look at when I get time again.

CM10 Camera

Bug report:-

Discovered a problem with the current CM10 this evening...

I went to use the video camera (recorder) and it didn't work. I press the record button and nothing happens.

First I thought it might be an issue with the theme I was using so I reverted to stock but found the same problem. Next I tried reverting to Phablet layout... still no dice. So then I thought I had better try a wipe-full flash to be sure it wasn't something I had mucked up... but no joy.

It works fine for taking pictures but video recording refuses to work. The button goes red, but nothing happens :-/ (both for 480 & 720p)

Hopefully it is something that is easily fixable....

Update?!

Updated build available!

20140404:

Updated source

Trees are 99.9999% the same as last build, with one change:

Remove unsupported overlay

Won't, or shouldn't, have any apparent changes.

Built on request from our Russian cousins.

Grab it on pio-masaki.com.

Untested aside from I know it boots up. May or may not have previous issues that I don't seem to remember seeing posted but just saw now, so any reports regarding the last few reported issues, video recording, headset jack, and whatever else you can think of, please test and report back.

Please be detailed, concise, and logs are extremely important! Please don't just say something like "Mic isn't working", I'll need to know the app(s) you tried, kernels, gapps, if you've rebooted lately, and a logcat of it working or not working when it should be working. Keep in mind this is based on work that's as old as 4.1 when it came out, over a year, so things may need touched up.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You know I can't ever really seem to leave the A100 lol. I'm not actively working on or with it, and I'm not planning on doing much work in terms of updating it to 4.4 or anything, but I can do an occasional build for users if they want it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jared_schaefer:
Ha, your the best!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I realized there was a major issue in there, no WiFi, so I spent the last hour or two poking around trying to figure it out, ended up being a mix of missing modules and something in the ramdisk being broken, oddly the ramdisk from Sosei II works, so for now it's using that while I look at what went wrong.

Uploading the new copy now, it's marked B2 at the end and the MD5 is c1d9eb194b8043f4f64a9f6ad96a6ede

Edit: Pavel reports that using alsamixer will let you manually set headphones as a workaround for now while I look I to what changed.
