[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You got cifs build in the kernel or as module?

I see you don't have cifs.ko so if you didn't build it in the kernel it will not work.

With module:

To see what modules are loaded type with root , "lsmod"

type this in terminal "insmod /system/lib/modules/opt/cifs.ko" to load it

put this in init.d

#!/system/bin/sh

insmod /system/lib/modules/opt/cifs.ko

If you compile the kernel make sure you got cifs activated to compile as module or build in(in defconfig)

CONFIG_CIFS=y or CONFIG_CIFS=m if you want module.
[Acer Iconia A500] RebelebeR:
I didn't compile it, I just downloaded it so probably not built into the kernel. I checked /system/lib/modules and there is no cifs.ko either so I suppose I am going to have to hunt one down before this works.

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

No luck finding a cifs.ko that will work. I guess my eyes are bugging out from too much reading. I'll hit it again tomorrow. Thanks very much for all the help

Hi apapousek,

Big thanks for the new ROM!!! Just one question: is there a way to activate a regular tabletUI? I am not so much in favor of the phone-type upper status bar.

With best regards, maris

[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
Don't worry about finding a cifs.ko that will work. Every ROM has a freshly built kernel, so I'll just enable it next compile.

Edit: hold on one tick. CONFIG_CIFS=y is already included. Let me play around a bit more.

Great work, no problem so far. GPS is ok for me. Thank you!:victory:

Pretty good build. Bluetooth, wifi and gps work for me. Only part not working is mic. Anyone have an idea on how to fix?

Sent from my A500 using CM10.1 JB unofficial
[Acer Iconia A500] droidxxxxx:
Even a wired headset mic doesn't work.. my Bluetooth sounded strange on the Skype Diagnostic.. but still have not tried talking to anyone yet.. it's so smooth I just can't leave it.. lol. If mic would work at least on a headset it would be dam near perfect... I'm reading up on the log cat thing.. will try and post some.

[Acer Iconia A500] RebelebeR:
ok, one problem solved and created another one. It wouldn't mount the cifs to any folder that was part of /storage, but I was able to mount the shares to /mnt/obb/sharefolder. Unfortunately, the music players I have will only read files from the /storage folders. grrr:eek:

Well I do like the look of this is it stable area or still WIP as the cm change log can be a little confusing not sure on what or is not working sorry noobish question I think I'll flash and have to work out for me self
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
It's terribly unstable. I'm really not doing too much work at all to the device tree, and the cm sources are being updated daily. It may play around with the kernel a bit, though.
[Acer Iconia A500] daddyspud:
Is that a sarcastic reply lol well I'll give it a flash there's only way to go n thats forward
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
It's semi-sarcastic. I haven't used my tablet too much, so I can't judge. Most nightly builds aren't very stable, though.

Please confirm whether GPS and 3G will work if this rom is installed on an A501?

Willing to donate for support :)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
This is a really cool ROM, and I love it!

I'm just wondering whether this has Tablet UI, because I can't seem to find it, and if it doesn't have it, could you please add it!
[Acer Iconia A500] droidxxxxx:
I was able to get Bluetooth to work with help from Soundabout Pro app from market. I am streaming Slacker radio via A2dp through my Jabra sp700 Bluetooth FM transmitter as I type... takes a little messing with.. but it's working. Before.. it would not connect properly to Bluetooth.. seems the app helps. Still could not get it to work with Skype and Bluetooth headset though.. . could hear.. but sounds screwy. Will try Skype with wired headset.. maybe the app will enable the mic to work with headset somehow...all I want to do is Skype with my Bluetooth headset... is that too much to ask? Lol
[Acer Iconia A500] RebelebeR:
Worked first shot for me. It's about time something worked first time for me. I haven't tried with skype, but I'm not exactly a people person so nobody I want to call. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] droidxxxxx:
Well.. it seems like it work's.. Bluetooth that is.. is that what you are talking about? Can't really think of anything else to use Bluetooth with on this besides Skype or streaming music.. lol.. mine pairs fine.. just doesn't like Skype... does yours actually work to stream music without the Soundabout app? Mine wouldn't even though it was connected.. seems the app added the a2dp support or something..
[Acer Iconia A500] RebelebeR:
Yes, I meant bluetooth. Listening to music through google play and tunein radio and played a game with sound. Works ok with everything I have tried. I've never even heard of soundabout.
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
Nope they are not working
[Acer Iconia A500] hurte1:
Awsome i am going to download this as soon as possible. Thank you for bringing this ROM to an almost forgotten tablet. :thumbup::thumbup:
[Acer Iconia A500] droidxxxxx:
What kinda Bluetooth device are u using?
[Acer Iconia A500] RebelebeR:
Motorola S-10 HD stereo bt headset
[Acer Iconia A500] droidxxxxx:
See if it works with skype..maybe its headset specific..
[Acer Iconia A500] RebelebeR:
That was really odd. I made a test call, it started fine. It rang on the headset but when the call was answered on the other end, it switched to output through the speakers and no mic, yet I could here stuff like clicks when clicking a button through the bt device. When the call disconnects it automatically goes back to headset.

Hmmm skype on my cell does the exact same thing, which really doesn't narrow anything down because I use the cm10.1 nightly on my cell too so could be a skype bug, a cm bug or even the headphones.

I'm going to attribute this to a cm bluetooth problem. I just tested skype with a wired headset and audio worked right, but the mic picked up nothing, but if I remember correctly, mic isn't working on the a500 on this rom, but it does work correctly on cm10.1 for galaxy s2.
[Acer Iconia A500] lkrasner:
Great Job. Just flashed last night and all seems pretty good. I had been running JB AOKP for a long time, but it was a bit slow, plus only 4.2.1, so I saw this and jumped on it!

the only thing is that I can not get TWRP to install, which probably isn't even related, but is quite odd. The Goo manager app says it succeeded, but it still just boots into my old err.... name not mentioned... CWM. flashing with fastboot doesn't work either. it doesn't seem to recognize recovery as a partition. This could all be me being stupid, as I do more development with my phone and things are quite different.

Anyways, great job, and if I ever get the motivation maybe I will steal your source to get the latest AOKP going, as I still love it's ridiculous number of settings. :silly:
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
The TWRP image is too big for recovery. Flash to secboot. I copied the sources from someone else. Feel free to use them; they're open source.
[Acer Iconia A500] RebelebeR:
Here is an interesting tidbit about the Bluetooth on this ROM and Skype. It's not a problem with just this ROM. I installed the stock ROM, the last OTA which is a JB ROM, on my Galaxy S2 to test a theory, and Skype doesn't use the bluetooth properly on the stock ROM either. In short, I think it is either a JB problem or a Skype problem or both.

Edit -> After installing a modified Skype and testing that it does work right with Bluetooth, I would say that the problem does lie within the Skype app. The modified app I installed came from here. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38703550&postcount=2791
[Acer Iconia A500] kdejong2012:
I don't use it but heard great things about Viber app. Try using it to see if issues are specific to Skype.

Knock it off people.

Got an issue with the rom, post a logcat. Something don't work, then too bad. If you don't at least post a logcat, or whatever the dev needs, then you need to go back to stock. People do this for free, and don't demand anything from you.

Don't like the rom, then move along to something else and keep your comments to yourself. This isn't a chat room, myspace, facebook and the likes. It's XDA. There is no freedom of speech, and this isn't a democracy. Want to post your garbage comments, then do so on a different site.

Some people are getting pretty sassy lately.

[Acer Iconia A500] sany:
few bugs I noticed

Overall it is nice and perfect. Except a few things:

1. GPS: It locates my location properly but when it tries to lock it Map crashes and goes to home screen

2. The scrolling of the app drawer is not as smooth as it used to be in ICS ROMs, it scrolls but stops but stops abruptly until you scroll again with your fingers. Earlier ROMs when once flicked it keeps scrolling until the pace slows down gradually.

Great job for all that are involved in the development!
[Acer Iconia A500] droidxxxxx:
Nobody has "an issue" with the rom.. Just because people have opinions, ideas or questions. . doesn't mean they have an issue with something. I don't think anybody has said one single bad thing about the rom...at least not like how you are making it sound.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ok, just to be clear, Posting opinions about 2 pxl camera's, stating impressions (good or bad) about the a500 in general, making comments about whether or not the OP has an issue, is really "OFF TOPIC" and has 0 to do with the rom, and does nothing but clog the threads with useless garbage.

Of course, for a more precise explanation of how to post in the development forum, I would advise you read this;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16682226&postcount=2441

with particular attention to this;

Just for example "GPS works but when it gets locks, Maps crashes". The big question, WHERE is the logcat? Second question, does anybody even know what a logcat is, and how important it is to diagnose issues with the Rom? If not, you need to google it.

Any questions?

Thanks.

[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
I'd love to post a change log, but I don't know what changes. I just sync the newest cm10.1 sources, build, and flash. If I don't crash on boot, I upload. A generic CM10.1 change log will show all changes.

I really don't test to see what works or what doesn't. I rarely use my tablet for more than reading reddit while eating anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If you are going to post a ROM, then XDA policy dictates that you maintain it. And abide by general guidelines.

Not just throw something up, and leaving it at that.

CM generally lists changes via GIT. Too often people just compile the Git and commits from somebody else, make some minor change, and say "Hey, try my CM Rom". When in reality, it's mostly somebody elses changes.

To state "I just sync". well, it really doesn't say much to be honest. To not test before releasing, that, is disgusting to say the least. After all, "your" name is attached to this.

[Acer Iconia A500] aerosmith:
Indeed it is a nice JB ROM. Everything works. However there are issues wifi after a long sleep. When I wake the tablet from sleep say about 2 hours then wifi does not work. The WiFi pane days my access point is out of range and when I press the scan button it does not find any channels around. After a reboot then everything is fine. Attached is a logcat. Line 4459 in the log is interesting. When I do a busybox ifconfig the interface is present. Let me know if you need me to pull anymore logs.
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
I looked into it a while back and I found out the issue is with the Wi-Fi optimization. It does something (probably dealing with power management) that causes the Wi-Fi to just totally crap out and not come back. Disable it in the Advanced menu in Wi-Fi Settings.

I've got some tombstones from crashes to provide too, they'll be up later. I'll be done with my finals tomorrow and I might try to contribute more actively to development.
[Acer Iconia A500] Shacamus:
By any chance did any of you try to install Dice Player on it ? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] lkrasner:
Over at my native land of the Moto Atrix 2 forum we have a procedure to help keep ROM threads clean, where we also make a Q&A thread in the Help section, so that basic stuff can go there, and only the true dev stuff can go in the original thread.

Just a thought since there have been some complaints here.

P.S. sorry for the off topicness of this
[Acer Iconia A500] aerosmith:
No, I did not. I do not have any special apps installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] Shacamus:
Sorry i was not clear.

can anyone install Dice player + plugin Tegra2 and tell me if Dice player is working ? :)

Because this app seems to work or not depending on the ROM used... (on 4.2.2)
[Acer Iconia A500] aerosmith:
Thanks, disabling this Wi-Fi Optimization seems to have fixed the wifi issue. I now found one more issue. Mic is not working. When I record video, audio is not captured. Tested with the recorder app too and this also does not capture any audio.

Edit: Sorry did not realize that the mic issue was already reported.

I followed the instructions exactly on my a500, but I'm stuck at the spinning Cyanogenmod logo. Is there something I'm missing here? Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] rsriram22:
try a cache, dalvik cache wipe and a factory reset from recovery(factory reset since you have not initialized the tablet as yet). that would be my first step in troubleshooting. (i vaguely remember i too might have had a similar scenario when i pushed this ROM on my a500)..

let us know your findings..
[Acer Iconia A500] midknight00:
I tried that, but I will try it again. Is there a specific order I need to do things? IE, the wipes, then format /system, then install the .zip?
[Acer Iconia A500] rwilpstra:
First, which bootloader are you on? I would make sure that you are on the v8 bootloader...

Aside from factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache, I would go into "mounts and storage" and format /cache, /data, /system, and /flexrom... That's what I did and it flashed just fine...
[Acer Iconia A500] midknight00:
Yeah, did all of that, still the spinning. Definitely version 8 of the bootloader. One odd thing though. When I try to do the factory reset (Wipe data) I get the following error message:

Error removing /data/tombstones/tombstone_01!

Everything else seems to work fine. Any other thoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] rwilpstra:
Take a quick look at this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976276

If you've had lots of force close's, it could be that this directory is taking up a huge part of your data partition... Can't see why that would prevent the rom from booting though.. Only other thing I could think of is that you might be using the wrong gapps... Since this rom is 4.2.2 based, be sure to use the newest gapps from here: http://goo.im/gapps
