So far i have been running this rom since v4 release. I have had a few minor glitches but overall a great rom. I am using hackers keyboard and have had no issues thus far. I had one wifi issue after a reboot but with a seccond reboot fixed it.

I wish the gallary app would show my picasa albums though.

Great work thanks...

I have a bug report. After some time with my tablet on, the lockscreen just disapears. All the functionality is there, but I can't see anything. Other issue I'm facing is some times when turning the tablet on it stucks on acer's logo, with some distortions in the screen. After it, if I long press power to power off and then try to power on it is succesfull. Any idea?

I'm loving the rom! Keep up with amazing work!

Hi guy, just flashed this rom. At a certain moment the rotation stopped to work. The keyboard desn't work but I use the go keyboard from the market.

Any tip for the rotation?

The missing lock screen sounds like our old friend the EGL memory leak. I think only randomblame figured out how to patch that. But only on 4.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] erupe:
So what zram values are you using? I agree, lulzactive is definitely the best governor for this Kernel but I get better results with deadline I/o scheduler.
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Lulzactive was giving me some significant lag after a short time. Maybe the zram settings optimize it.

Overall this has been the best build yet. To be expected. The launcher seems a bit slower than on 4.1 though. Still seeing if EGL leak really is around on this go around.

WIFI workaround

Hello everybody,

I found a workaround for the problems with wifi stop working after a while (normaly when entering in sleep mode)

My android is in Spanish so the UI terms can be a little it different:

- In the wifi conection menu, press the menu key,

- Select advanced settings

- Change "Keep wifi on during sleep" to always.

Thats all, never had problems again (I had even when it sleeps charging and sometimes without entering the sleep mode at all)

Of course the tablet will use more battery during sleep, but apart from this the tablet is perfectly usable now.

Ps.: Dont checked if anyone else already gavce this tip, I hope it is not duplicated and helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] kdejong2012:
PJSports - Thanks for the latest revision of the ROM.

Very nice work. Thanks.

So you can get auto rotate to work on this ROM without any additional apps? Mine seems to be stuck. I see the message pop up when I toggle the HW switch, but the screen still won't rotate.

Anyways, thanks PJSports for keeping me from buying a new tablet!! If I can get 4.2.1 (and multi-user support) on this one with a solid DD, I think I'll stay happy for at least another year. This ain't a bad tablet for its age, just heavy as hell to hold for long periods of time. :)

[Acer Iconia A500] FSUSeminole:
That's interesting, I did a clean wipe and clean flash of build 4 and I couldn't get any rotate love at all, checked every setting I could think of- and still no dice.

In the end, it was a dealbreaker for me so I had to go back to CM10Flex. Really hoping PJSports or somebody else WayDownSouth can get 4.2.1 going for us, the multi-user stuff is key for me as this is a "shared" tablet in my house.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

I also noticed random crackling out of the speakers while using the tablet. Didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.. also have to say I did notice the sluggishness in the transitions.. other than that, this seemed like a solid ROM. Just a few wrinkles to iron out and it will be SWEET! :)

Did you have to change any settings to get rotation to work after the flash? mine wouldn't work and I tried all kinds of settings (Under ROM settings> display).. under launcher settings.... there's even an autorotate setting under accessibility... nothing helped.
[Acer Iconia A500] ch_m:
I didn't change it after install. It was working.

I check it now:

Display -> Rotation: Enable 0,90,270 I can't disable it ...

Accessibility-> Auto-rotate screen on

Rotation works on my app also.

[Acer Iconia A500] FSUSeminole:
Hmmm... that's interesting. I wonder if there's a difference in hardware? Maybe our internal components differ slightly?

To be fair I've had hit or miss rotation on a lot of other ROMs, including non-CM ROMs... certain ROMs rotate for me and others don't. CM10Flex does... 1/11/13 of CM4.2.1 doesn't unfortunately.

I wonder if it is a recovery thing? I use TWRP (Thor's I think)... not sure which version though.

I just installed this ROM myself. I have a few issues. I'm still reading the thread, they may be solved.

1) Google Search. If I update it to the newest version after installing, it keeps crashing out to hte previous screen with no error messages or warnings. Is there a fix?

2) Calendar. I'm testing now to see if the stock calendar app works, but the Google Calendar app doesn't seem to work. It keeps 'stop working'. I'll edit this post if that is, indeed, the case, and test as well. Okay, tested. Seems to be the "Calendar Storage" app at fault. I'll try freezing just the calendar and see what happens. Still- somebody explain this? I'm still relatively new to custom ROM's (even though I've been rooted since April or so). UPDATE: Google Calendar now seems to be working. What's the difference between this and the local calendar app? I still have it, albeit frozen.

3) Wi-Fi. 3 times now, the wi-fi has turned itself off while I was walking away and wouldn't come back on without rebooting. It wouldn't see nor connect to any networks. The first time, Wi-Fi Optimization was ON, and it was set to only keep Wifi ON during SLEEP. The other two times, it was set to keep Wi-Fi ON at all times. Any ideas? EDIT: This is with build 4, where the WiFi is still unstable. The "Static IP" does not fix, neither does a reinstall nor changing the Always On option. Turning off WiFi Optimization also does nothing.

re4ua: On the Wi-Fi, a temporary fix seems to be simply to manually disable the Wi-Fi every time I put it to sleep. With the 'quick options' panel, this is less than annoying and happens quickly. Hell, that panel outdates my usual "Power Strip" or HD Widgets fix for quick settings. I would be curious to know, like the guy said earlier, if the, say, early 2011 model a500's vary in any way from early 2012 and late 2010 models.

I'm using that. I can update all of the Google Apps except for Search. Which I'll just leave un-updated. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
Okay, my "fix" doesn't work at all. The Wi-Fi in Build 4 is still entirely unstable on my a500. The guys who have your wi-fi running. What settings are you using? Are you running a custom driver or any workaround?

Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 [Weekly build 1 12-01-2013

The only trouble I recall is the wifi disconecting after a while and reboot to fix. Gps works. Stock keyboard works launcher animations were fixed after enabling the static wallpaper setting. Everything seems ok so far except the Gtalk video chat (lib problem) and newest search that crashes instantly. Old one works fine
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
Well, I was wrong about stable Wi-Fi. It was stable for about 10-12 hours, then destabilized and hasn't come back since. It seems unrelated to Static IP, DHCP, and whether or not Wi-Fi is optimized for power. Also independent of G or N routers. Sometimes, it literally happens seconds after booting up. :(

EDIT: This isn't as critical an issue, as my tab isn't my primary device for these. This is more of just a "FYI", not a "Fix This Please". I can confirm that Dead Space, which ran in the stock 4.0.3 ROM, does not work. Crashes out before reaches the main screen. EA game. Netflix worked for a day, sort of. It would stop frequently, every 10-15 seconds, for 2-3 seconds at a time. Now, the video stops immediately and crashes to the home screen. Can also confirm that Gallery App won't load your online Picasa albums. Netflix, Pandora, and Google Play Music both seem to cause frequent wi-fi disconnections.

EDIT 2: Another interesting note. While Dead Space crashes out, it and several other apps with additional data packages (ranging from 150MB to 1.7GB, including Dead Trigger, Asphalt 6, Asphalt 7, others) managed to download their data packages without incident. Wi-Fi seems stable as long as it is in use, in most, but not all cases.

Edit 3: All EA games behave in a similar fashion. They all crash when the game begins rendering.

If you get blurry photos using the stock rom, it is highly unlikely that a custom rom will improve this. Especially with beta roms like this it is more common that some hardware does not work as well as with the stock rom. Like the microphone in this case.
