Have you tried loading a boot image separately from the Rom itself?

I've had to do that on my A500 but never on the A100. Just an idea may be way off. I'm definitely no dev.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Please provide some more specifics. This rom should work.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jared_schaefer:
When I first boot everything flys and runs smoothly but it seems after the screen times out and dims the performance takes a hit. It will take a second or two before anything responds, then after a few minutes it will get back to normal or sometimes if I turn the screen off then back on it will get back to normal but not always. I'm tired the cyano and the middle kernel in the installer.... can't remember the name and it's happened on the lulz and performance governers. And it's overclocked to 1500, Idk if any of that has anything to do with it.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] czlazybear:
Hello, I have the same problem, I downloaded update package, run CWM recovery, then I follow instruction and wipe out all and format all, what is mentioned on first page, then I run CMFLEX 2.5 update. Aroma installation environment is nice, I choose middle kernel, subsequently stock application and at the end was written: Update successfully. So I reboot devices and then I saw booting animation for 15 - 30 minutes.... I tried three times updated my tablet. I downloaded update package 1 time directly to tablet and two times with computer, but the result after update was still the same. After all, I am back on 2.3 version.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] carmos:
Try to redownload the ROM, and try a again without wipes in 2.3, for me was the solution.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
I shall investigate. It's possible I have some missing information in the aroma scripts that don't get installed after a clean wipe.

Update - Fixed bootloops

Updated to Version 2.5.1 The rom wasn't liking the changed files in the tabletUI on a fresh install so I fixed the signatures. If you are successfully running Version 2.5 there is no need to update. Please see the OP for download and sorry for the issues!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] czlazybear:
Thank you for update, the clean update to tablet UI work now fine. What not working for me is this. When I turn on camera, picture from back camera are good, but when I switch to front camera,then I see only green screen, blue screen and other colors - screen looks as something from infra spectrum. I hope, that Skzpe will be work corectly, I hadn't time to test Skype yesterday.Edit - I don't test Skype, because after last update is not working - Skype problem - lot of user wrote on feedback, that this version is not working
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
Clarification Please

is the headset mic broke in all releases or just the most recent and when you say headset mic is that reffering to a bluetooth mic or wired headset or both

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
The internal hardware microphone works, and has always worked. What doesn't work is a headset microphone. That has never worked. We get by that by installing an app called "soundabout" which when a headset is plugged in, can tell the microphone on the tablet to be used instead of the headset one. I don't have a bluetooth mic so cannot test and nobody has ever told me whether or not it has worked.

How to format flexrom via twrp?

I flashed 2.5.1 afterall wipes exept flexrom because i couldnt find a way to do so using 2.4.4.0 twrp also tried with 2.2.1 twrp

for some reason after installing rom and running it for a while I booted recovery then wiped cache and dalvic and after the rom will no longer boot to system.

I have clean flashed several times and re created several times as well

my question being what would cause this as one should be able to wipe cache and still boot into system as it should just get rebuilt.

Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Usually if you can't boot after wiping cache and dalvik it is because there is a core app that has it's signature borked. Do you by any chance have the small apps installed? If so wiping cache and dalvik will cause a bootloop. You can dirty flash the rom over again and it should boot up ok.

Flexrom should be under wipe - advanced wipe, but you shouldn't need that anymore. This rom doesn't touch the flexrom as it once did.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] po8pimp:
This is the most stable rom I have used on this device. I like the Carbon rom, however this one just seems smoother and with OC to 1.4ghz it is good on battery as well considering. I am actually using this rom as a base for a rom I am putting together.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
is there a trick to getting skype to work with 2.5.1 I can loggin but after that it crashes I've wiped data re-installed etc.

opens for about 3seconds then crash

Also i noticed mentioned in an earliar post that the front facing camera craps out turning green/flickering

maybe its related to the skype problem?

Thanks "P" in advance for looking into this

I can post logs if requested I just have to remember how to capture them!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] po8pimp:
Looks like it is a problem with the app itself. If you are doing a fresh install and not just an update, the screen will close on you. Take a look at the app in the play store and read the reviews. It is not specific to this device. Will wait for another update then try again. Works good on my daughters Galaxy tab2 which had it prior to the update. I updated it and everything was fine.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

You know I thought maybe it was a hardware fault, however mine is the opposite. The front camera works, when I switch to the rear, it takes a snapshot from the front camera and flips it upside down and flickers a bit. Very wierd. Gonna see if maybe it is the camera app.

EDIT: App did not correct the issue.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
I think you might have your front /rear backwards in your head/way of thinking "LOL" Because you otherwise define the same exact problem.

I can Second that it is not the app's at fault can be recreated with any store app as well

As for skype I might try installing an older release if I can find one as I know it used to work on this a100

Can anyone tell me if the front facing camera/video has the same issues in the 2.3 CyanoFlex release
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
The cameras right now work about as well as they ever have. I know skype is an issue, but as I mentioned before, This version of SKYPE works fine on my tablet. The first time you sign in, it seems to FC but then after that it seems to open and work fine.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
That sucks But thanks for the working skype I used 19.1 inverted works without force close even after initial signin

The part that sucks is the only way to video chat would be to stand in front of a mirror using the back camera.

Any way we could get "Pio_Masaki" or "WDS" to look into fixing the front camera issue as it clearly is unusable.

Thanks a million for your efforts on this rom and for your detailed responses You are clearly one of the "FEW" keeping the a100 alive.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
I just tested the newest version of skype on the thread and can confirm that the front camera worked in a video call. It started green and fuzzy for about 10 seconds and then the picture came up fine.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
Funny I reverted completely to factory stock "To Troubleshoot" and my front cam still shows Green flickering and if it shows an image at all it of the back cam upside down for a fraction of a second off and on.You solved with my skype problem with the thread you posted but the prob remains to be with my front facing cam
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] czlazybear:
Thank you, Hardslog, for link to Skype, which work and I have the same experience as Phatboyj - green flickering at start - for 25-30 seconds and then camera start working!!!

Edit 19.11.2013 - The front camera sametimes works and sametime not work. When we use Skype last time, the picture from front camera need almost 20minutes time before work correctly.....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aszelinski:
I have had the green fuzzy cam problem since getting my A100 and as y'all are reporting it does clear eventually after being on. That was one of the reasons I looked into custom ROMS to begin with. It has to be a hardware issue with the camera/tablet itself. :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
at least yours clears up mine is completely unusable as when its not flashing green its showing an upside-down image from the back camera.

I guess i will have to give up on using my a100 for video chat "This used to be all i really used it for before getting my m-board replaced after the brick bug

I agree it has to be a hardware/kernel issue...... because i've flashed every known stock rom and still no dice.....

On a rom related note this rom is pretty kick-ass

What exactly are the "sony small apps" description please?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] po8pimp:
I have to agree this is my favorite rom so far. I love the godmachine kernel used.

Update - Version 2.6

Nov 20 2013

- Moved some apps to Aroma installer (to shrink rom size)

- Added in a working (hopefully) version of Skype

- New UI - Kinda a hybrid 4.1 and 4.2 style UI

- Removed some unused files in Aroma

- Added LMT as an optional app

Please see OP for download

sony small apps is an application made by sony for their android devices. It essentially allows you to run mini apps that can float on top of others. I have since removed them because they just don't jive too well with Android 4.1 and couldn't get them to cooperate with the newer versions of the rom (not that they cooperated that well in the first place).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
I finaly got my front cam to work again I had to go all the way back to HC Acer_A100_2.001.01_COM_GEN2 and then update all the way back up to the latest ICS Acer_AV041_A100_1.049.00_PA_CUS1 The earlier HC must have had something the later ones didn't But hey it works again so now I have Good B-ups and I'm ready to Get back Me some CyanoFlex , Woot Woot!!!

Capacitive Home Button Functionality?

I noticed while on this Rom I had the ability to wake my a100 via the Home button Soft-Key.

My question is, What exacly has to be modded to allow this functionality?

I would like to add this functionality to my current Stock Ics Rom and would greatly appreciate any/all assistance with this endeavor.

Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
You do have that ability? I didn't even know that lol. It's likely a cyanogen mod feature that was not implemented by me. However I do know how to change some functionality of the capacitive home button.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Phatboyj420:
Do you know who might be able to help narrow it down?

as I said before, I'm wanting to add this functionality to stock ICS as it saves the power button from excessive use.

Thanks in advance

I did play around with the capacitive.zip's you provided with your keebersrom but obviously that alone did not yeild the desired effect. Then I changed one of your .zip's to get it back to stock funtionality rather than just disabled

See attatched
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Look carefully again at the keys file and compare it to the one in Cyanosaki. There is one difference. Make sure you open the file in a real text editor like Notepad ++. In the CM version there is a WAKE flag set to the home capacitive button.

Keep in mind though that I'm pretty sure no matter what, the home key will not wake the tablet up when it is in deep sleep.

Does this mean that 2.6 is unstable and will cause a brick? Just a question of caution prior to updating from 2.5.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Anything you do will eventually cause a brick. It's the sad nature of the A100. Mine actually died playing around with 4.3 stuff.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] po8pimp:
So once you have the rom and kernel loaded, leave it and all should be fine? Are the bricking issues caused by flashing over and over again or by just using the tablet in general?

You can get a refurbished original Tegra 3 nexus 7. The Sero 7 Pro and Asus Memo Pad HD 7 do not have XDA active support really or else I would have suggested one of those.

Is there any way to add cyanogenmods voice + so we can use google voice through hangouts? Or is if a separate app we can install?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aaronlkh:
Thanks for the time and efforts putting into making this ROM! It's a promising one with GPS working great and no wifi breaking issue as in JellyTime Sosei 4.3. However it's too unstable that I have to switch back to JellyTime Sosei 4.3 after a few days of testing. I'm not complaining at all but to let others who would like to try this ROM know what might occur. Here are the issues:

1. The status bar and navigation bar always go missing. Rebooting sometimes fixes the problem but doesn't most of the times. I have to keep rebooting until the bars appear. And they can just go missing while using the tablet!

2. The tablet reboots itself quite often.

3. I'm using Apex Launcher and Widget Locker. Both always prompt not responding. Normally clicking "wait" would do but sometimes don't. Then I'll have to reboot the tablet again.

4. As stated by others, Bluetooth with headsets with mic doesn't work. This I can live with.

Having said that, I'll use this ROM if I need to use GPS.

Cheers,

Aaron
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] brian999:
If your tablet keeps rebooting there is a chance the internal storage maybe going bad. There is a thread by Pio discussing the internal memory. If you keep flashing roms eventually your tablet will 'die'. Or just with normal use it may 'die' eventually.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] czlazybear:
We used this ROM at home every day and restart happened not so often - in avarege one restart in 3 weeks....
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
When I still had this tablet on this rom it never rebooted on me. Have you tried out the different kernels in the package? The regular CM kernel is likely the most stable and the Cyano kernel likely could not be handled but some A100's (although it did work ok on mine)

Furthermore I never had issues with the status bar and nav bar going missing.

I used Nova which never gave me issues so I cannot comment on Apex.

There was an app for a workaround with bluetooth and headset mics that would ensure the build in mic would function even when plugging things in.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aaronlkh:
Thanks a lot for the info. I used the Cyano one and haven't tried the CM kernel. Perhaps I should give it a try when I absolutely need GPS without data connection. I won't install all my apps at once so as to see if any of them causes problems. For the time being, I'll keep using the JellyTime Sosei 4.3 as it's stable enough for heavy use.

Best regards.

Is there a trick to getting the headset mic to work, with soundabout? I couldn't seem to get it to work. When I plug my computer speakers into it it works just fine with the onboard mic and it plays through the speakers. But somehow it to detects that my headset has a mic, and it won't work through the onboard speaker like when the pc speakers are hooked up.. I guess it needs to force the mic?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Yea its the app called SoundAbout in the play store. You will have to play around with it but it has options that will make your tablet ignore the headset mic and use the built in one instead.

Re: [ROM][WIP] KEBBERSROM_CMFLEX_V1.1 - Based on 4.1.2/CM10 (02-20-2013)

hrm. I just noticed the camera thing. Perhaps most people never noticed because they just use the camera at default settings (I know if you never mentioned the camera thing, I would have never noticed).

Ill do some investigating but no promises as I'm not really a dev, but just a guy having fun customizing roms.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
The camera works fine for me too as long as I don't try to change the MP value. Was having a problem with filters causing a lockup, but tracked that down to one of the developer settings I had enabled (force hardware 2D I think).

I only recently unlocked my tablet, so in the last couple of weeks have tried Sosei, CM10, CM10 Flex and SHELLSHOCK with and without godmachine v2.0. With all the JB ROMs changing the MP value crashes the gallery app whether using front or rear camera. When I try to relaunch the camera app I get "Camera error. Can't connect to the camera". Oddly, when I reboot the tablet, the resolution change has been applied and the camera then works ok at the new resolution.

Just thought it worth mentioning for anyone that has the relevant skills to address these sort of things (unlike myself :( ). Though as it has been pointed out, it is not a core problem and can easily be ignored.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
There is no Acer Ring in this ROM unfortunately, Acer Ring is a special app that is built into the SystemUI and framework of Acer stock roms, which CM just doesn't have. Even though the stock ROM for The A100 didn't have the Acer ring, it had all the frameworks there and just took some very minor tweaking to get it working. Integrating it into a CM rom wouldn't be very easy to do.

It may just be a hardware limitation, you're comparing devices of different generations, when the a100 came out tablets were barely getting Bluetooth in the first place, it's usage was pretty basic.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Seemed like at first I couldn't get any themes to work with this build. Was getting a message saying themes were incompatible. I then tried Killer Blue which oddly worked (after getting the typical "apply anyways" prompt). After a reboot I was able to get my preferred theme Faded Blue to work.

Besides that the only other thing I've noticed is the typical DRM issue with Hulu Plus (error 93). I tried to use the modded Hulu Plus version but it constantly crashed just trying to search. So I said screw it and canceled my Hulu Plus subscription. If they are going to treat me with disrespect because I choose to run their service on my rooted device then they don't deserve my hard earned money.

Everything else works perfectly great so far. MLS MatchDay Live amazingly runs at true full screen and looks great. Netflix runs great. Al Jazeera English runs pretty well. PowerAMP runs as PowerAMP should. Same with Spotify. No issues with reading and writing to my micro SD card (Sandisk 32gb). The DirecTV app works pretty well. Camera and camcorder works.

In other words... this is a very solid daily driver worthy ROM! Great work! :good:
