sorry to be taking up this thread with a conversation with myself, but thought it would be important to note that I figured out what OTA means - over the air upgrade is being done on James ROM. I am now on 2.3.

Of course, there were a number of points that I had to make some choices or enter some information and I had no idea what to choose so I hope I chose everything correctly. For example: was I supposed to wipe data or just wipe the cache? I was able to figure out when to select to reboot and to allow the update to occur but there were a couple of choices where I didn't know what I was supposed to do. It might be nice to indicate in this thread somewhere what choices are desirable for installing this over the air upgrade.

Re: [Rom] James Rom 2.3 for Acer Iconia Tab A210

No need to be sorry. It's always a learning process. Best bet is to wipe everything when updating a system partition unless the dev says not to do so. I don't believe in dirty flashes. It may work for some but always seems to be problematic.

In the case of this rom wipe data, system, and caches. Should be golden then. :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] thwak:
thanks for the reply Joe.

I certainty wiped everything during the initial rooting and installing of this ROM but on the update I wasn't sure if everything needed to be wiped again. I figured, since everything proper was already installed the first time, maybe I shouldn't need to upgrade everything for just an over the air incremental update.

And the only options that were available were to wipe the cache and wipe the data and the former was checked but the latter was unchecked. So I figured, again, he made those default options the way they should be and that I should just leave them alone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smokinjoe2122:
Re: [Rom] James Rom 2.3 for Acer Iconia Tab A210

Yeah, the OTA updates should take care of themselves in that respect. Honestly I've not had one problem with this ROM. I'm looking forward to what's next for this thing :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] PsyDonia:
thanks will test this starting with the OC version.

flashing it tomorrow or something.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] toutoune28:
There is an option that you could integrate. It is when we hold the power button, have the choice between restart, recovery or power off the tab. What do you think about this ?

When you say "Real Tegra3 experience", what it's meen ? Do you have made optimisation for save battery ?

Thanks for your reply 007gamer

edit : Someone tested the overclocked version? It is stable?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thwak:
There are already apps out there that will allow you to do this. 1 is called shutdown menu. Alternatively, you could download an app called tasker and program a menu yourself, which is what I did.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Paha1243:
is it not dangerous to OC cpu this much. feel like my tab became hot one...literally :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thwak:
I don't know about dangerous, but 1.7 is certainly higher than I want to go. I value battery life more than anything else, so I am staying away from 3.x for now. 2.3 is working just great for me!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ura_aktobe:
0.5 mb/sec :laugh:

sir, Hope your ROM is great :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] PsyDonia:
thwak there is two versions one OC and one no oc.

no oc is not over clocked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thwak:
I did notice that. And, while I am thankful that there is a version that does not offer overclock, I don't see anything in the long list of improvements that really makes me want to upgrade. Probably because I don't understand what most of the improvements are or do.:p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] PsyDonia:
have flashed it now.

damn fast trying the oc version its not getting hot for now.

thanks so fantastic. reporting when tested more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smokinjoe2122:
Besides not downloading the OC version, you can download a cpu control app and stop the max frequency on whatever value you'd like. I think 1.5 ghz would be suffice.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] toutoune28:
Or just try the No OC version like me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ura_aktobe:
1.7Ghz stabilized work..Battery normal. :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 007gamer:
Are you all Happy with it?

Greets :cyclops:

Oh and..1.7ghz is Safe..when the device is getting hot,it underclocks itself.James Rom 3.0 has an intelligent Kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] toutoune28:

seems to working great as far as *I have test and I use the Over clock version.

Re: [Rom] James Rom 3.0 for Acer Iconia Tab A210

Hello everyone. I just got an A210 and I must say it's a great tablet. I'm a noob so please don't flame too much. I looking forward to root it but I still have a few questions;

- How does this rom affect battery performance? Does it make better, no difference,etc?

- What do you mean by "real tegra 3 experience"?

thanks to OP for all the hard work. I look forward to using this rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smokinjoe2122:
What launcher are you guys using with this ROM/Tablet? I use Nova, works great, but sometimes I get animation lag. Thoughts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] toutoune28:
Original launcher. But it is limited. :( You can't delete home screens for example.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zener773:
Re: [Rom] James Rom 3.0 for Acer Iconia Tab A210

Good catch...I didn't even notice it was missing...Anyone try flashing updated gapps?

Edit: Flashing gapps from goo.im worked great...

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

Rom performance is really good. Battery seems to last forever. I'm still disappointed at some animation lags for being a quad core tegra 3. Try running a more sophisticated live wallpaper, you'll see what I mean...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] u.k-f:
Many thanks for using my work (the OC Kernel), without any notification.

Even it is the version compiled by Vetzki, you know that its based on my work, and you got this version from him during Vetzki and me are helping you to get this kernel also working on your device.(see the public discussion here:http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...rnel-oc-nur_fuer_verrueckte-a210-4-1-1-a.html)

And you know this is not the latest Version of this Kernel, its only a test-version. A much more developed Version of this Kernel which has the ability of a variable overclock limit can be found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143434

Would it be so hard to make at least a notification or to ask me, if you can use the kernel? Don't you have any respect to the work of others? We had this discussion in an other forum, did you expect I would not find this thread?

Only for the reason, that I do not want that the users of JamesROM have to pay the bill, this will not have any consequences more than I ask you to put a link to my kernel-thread on your start post.

If you don't do so, I will inform the board-leaders.

Love this ROM, its made my tablet smooth again after getting rid of the Acer stuph.

It has made it seem substantially louder both through headphones and the built in speakers.

I'm currently running the 1.7ghz variant and doubt I will go back to the default as it it so responsive.

You can also use this Kiwi++Kernel where you can active or deactivate the overclocking, or you can overclock ´just to any value between 1300 MHz and 1700 MHz, just like you want. (The kernel is this ROM is an early development version of the Kiwi++Kernel)

Thanks for your help. I tried the instructions on the thread link you sent as well as JuicyBoose video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_ZJGH2QX6g). I used his one click tool. However on either case, it gets stuck on "waiting for device".So, I manually went into fastboot ( ithink thats whats called: power, vol dow, key combo). After that I followed the instructions on the thread you provided, and loaded the kernel and CW. I didnt apply step 4, which is "Install Root" step. I just went ahead and applied James Rom and everything seems great. I installed rootChecker and it shows my device as rooted. Do I still need to perform Step 4??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smokinjoe2122:
How did you unlock the bootloader, fastboot? Are you sure you have the correct and appropriate drivers installed? You should be able to do an ADB push with the appropriate files. You can PM me if you need more assistance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zener773:
I used the ICS A210 drivers from Acer's UK site. I used JuicyBoose One Click tool to unlock the bootloader. The one click tool unlocked the bootloader, but upon reboot, the tool could not load the kernel nor CW. It just said "waiting for device". At that point I went manually into fastboot, and applied both the kernel and CW (using the commands on the thread). I went into CW and loaded JamesRom 3.0 NOC. So basically, the One click tool just unlocks the bootloader and nothing else. The installation seems to work great, no problems so far. I used Rootchecker and it shows the device as rooted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u.k-f:
The no-OC Kernel is probably the Kernel from this [HowTo] Acer A210 Root

Th OC Kernel is a very early Version of the Kiwi++Kernel (which is available with activatable OC and completely w/o OC)

Probably no way to run A2SD unless you run DTA2SD script - Easier way is to partition your external SD card and run Link2sd. I ran that on my older android phones with no issues. No need to run a script or have the kernel setup to read different partitions.. Good luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HeloHero:
First off, thanks so much for this ROM. I have really enjoyed it.

I have been experiencing an issue that maybe others have (or have not) had. Before I unlocked, rooted, and installed the ROM, the USB port worked fine. Now it is not reading the flash drive when I plug it in to the USB port. I can go to settings ---> storage and see where it says mount USB storage, but it doesn't do anything when I select it. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this issue?

Edit: I just verified that the usb drive works on my windows 7 laptop, and that it does the same thing with another USB drive.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u.k-f:
I think there might be an issue with the Kernel provided with this Version of ROM

I guess, it will help when you use a newer Kiwi++Kernel

I've been talking with u-k.f and the folks over on android-hilfe.de, but thought I would post here as well.

Re: [Rom] James Rom 3.0 for Acer Iconia Tab A210

Yup... Found out the hard way flashing gapps causes it to reload all the apps again. Might have something to do with how the partition is setup. Are you looking for one app in particular?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
Preferably the suite. Along with the problems listed above, my calendar doesn't sync, and I have sync errors with browser. I also tried the ones off of goomanager and they have the same issues. Can we use the ones available on CM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smokinjoe2122:
You're not going to be able to flash Gapps with the way this ROM is setup. You'll have to re-flash James Rom 3.0 over the system partition, and then add whatever you need via the app installer. Example - The only app I was missing was Talk so I found it via apk and installed it into /data/apps folder. No updating apps after each reboot doing it that way. Also, you can download calendar from the Play Store if you are having issues with yours. Mine works out of the box though...
