I never made a thread for PAC, so I don't count it. I also don't count ROMs per build, if I did, then there's over a hundred. I'd say a few, maybe, not several :p

MoKee builds probably won't ever be posted, though, I have no permission, and they haven't given any to me after asking a few weeks ago, which is a little problem since that's what I'm using to develop 4.3 with right now.

Overclock isn't at the top of my list right now, I'll test it when it comes time for extras like that. A100 rotation is over now, on to other devices, I spent 4 days straight on it, got nowhere the last 2, so it's time to take a break from it. Of course now I shift over to the Thrive which is also a tegra2, so anything I do there will shift back to the A100 anyways :highfive:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah that's a bummer they haven't answered you in regards to permission. But the good news is that other ROMs are coming around 4.3 wise including CM10.2 and its various ones that are based off of it (ie: Carbon, PAC, etc). Now how well they can be ported to the A100 at this stage of the game I have no idea. But at least there is more options.

Even I fully agree that overclock isn't at the top of priorities right now. Nice feature to have for sure but there's stuff way higher up like camera, sound, and the like. Will I test it once you release builds? Of course I will. But stuff like GPS and HDMI are going to come first obviously in testing.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well part of my limited time is exactly that, I build like 7 ROMs for the DNA so I'm pretty well versed in what's out there :p

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Oops... I tend to keep forgetting you also work on the DNA. Funny story is when I moved on from my previous phone (Motorola Droid RAZR) it came down to between the DNA vs Note 2 for me. I ended up with the Note 2 due to it having the micro SD slot on it along with removable battery if I feel like upgrading that. Truth be told the battery life with the stock battery on the Note 2 has been nothing short of fantastic for me. I will admit however that the display on the DNA is better but... the Note 2's display for me is nothing to sneeze at either.

My smartphone history = Droid Eris --> Droid 1 --> HTC Thunderbolt --> Samsung Stratosphere --> Motorola Droid RAZR --> Samsung Galaxy Note 2

HTC apache > moto q > HTC evo > lg g2x > galaxy s 2 > galaxy nexus > DNA.

The DNA wasn't my choice, I don't have Verizon I have T-Mobile, but I couldn't pass on the deal. Brand new shipped from Verizon for 100 bucks, back when it was full price right after launch. Awesome phone for sure. Not sure what I'll move on to next, right now nothing is any, or negligible, better performance wise then the DNA, maybe the HTC one max or s5 if it comes out around Xmas. I was fine without an SD slot coming from the gnex but I certainly would have preferred one, and I never upgrade batteries so I'll take waterproof over replacing a battery since I never do anyways.

I have a feeling I may lean to Sammy again due to the s-on crap HTC does. And I like the samoled screens.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Personally I'm waiting to see what the Note 3 is going to offer. The biggest thing that would get me to jump is having VoLTE on Verizon but even then I suspect the first gen of VoLTE devices will be similar to what the first LTE ones were like. In other words bad battery life. But who knows. We'll find out soon enough on the Note 3.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I'm a little weary of the note and one max due to size, I'd feel like I'm holding up the a100 for a phone call. The DNA at 5" is about as large as I can comfortably go, but initially I thought it would be to big, guess I won't known until I try it.

Does the note run amoled?

Either way I'm looking to move onto a new phone and I'm guessing HTC and Sammy and maybe Google will have their stuff up soon for Xmas. If the next nexus isn't LG, I may go that way and not worry about having to build stuff and I can spend more time on the tegra2 stuff.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
To be honest the Note 2 given its size feels fairly lightweight in my hands. Certainly way more lightweight than the A100 feels in my hands. So I'm assuming the Note 3 given how little changed between the S3 and S4 will be very similar to the Note 2. But like I said earlier we'll see soon enough on the Note 3.

Note 2 is Super AMOLED at 720p.

I'm curious on what the next Google Nexus phone(s) will offer myself. Something tells me it'll lack micro SD which is pretty much a killer for me given I carry around quite a bit of music at any given time.

In other news Acer announces new tablets...

http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/02/acer-announces-iconia-a3-android-tablet/
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Its not the weight I'm worried about, its the size itself, the weight wouldn't bother me unless it really did weigh like the A100 lmao

The 720p is a disappointment, I've been on a 1080p 5" screen for nearly a year now...

And no Google device will have any SD slot, Google never wanted to support them and will never have them on their devices. I guess otg is good enough for them, they seem to think broadband is available everywhere at all times so the cloud is viable for all devices at all times lol

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
I certainly can understand worrying about the size. Probably the best recommendation I could give is to hold the Note 2 (or Note 3) in your hand to see how it feels. In my hands the Note 2 feels just right while making a call. But that might be different for you.

Rumors on the Note 3 right now are saying 1080p but until its official I'm only taking it as a rumor. Even then the 720p display on the Note 2 is nothing to cry about. It's still very beautiful to look at and gets the job done. The quality is crisp, clear, and detailed. Video on apps like Netflix and MLS Live look great. But I see where you come from since your DNA does have that nice 1080p display which certainly is a HUGE pro for Netflix as they do support 1080p displays (MLS Live at best is 720p).

It's not just the broadband everywhere that bothers me about it. It's also companies like Verizon and AT&T shoving tiered data down people's throats while Google insisting on people using "the cloud" more and more is what bothers me. Plus wasn't one of the arguments on why Android being better than iOS is due to expandable memory? Funny that I type all this while (literally) seeing the Microsoft tablet ad on TV bragging about being able to use SD cards.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Since we kind of went towards it, the note 3 announcement has been made. Interesting device, the 3gb ram and now full HD screen makes it a definite contender for my next phone. I can take or leave the other stuff, I may or may not like them enough to stay on twiz or just ditch it and go aosp as usual lol

May sell my gs3 and n7 for it, big enough to cover my tablet needs too lol
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Haha yeah. Wait for the HTC one max, rumour has it at 5.9" screen lol

I may just stick with my DNA, I don't really need another phone, but if the s5 is anything like that note 3, I may go back to Sammy again. I mean if its a 5" screen again. 5.7" is really stretching my use with one hand to nothing anymore, my DNA is already a tad tall to one hand without a little angling. Supposedly its no wider then the note 2, so that means its taller. Plus, I'd have no reason to dev on it lol

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
I go back and forth on getting a new phone the gs3(plus zerolemon battery) has treated me well and I'm not sure what I would honestly be gaining in real life terms. They look really really nice though
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah, its the only device currently announced that even has upgraded specs to my DNA, which I've had almost a year now, and it'll still be kicking ass in another year I'm sure. Its hard to justify "upgrading" when nothing is an upgrade, just new lol

My gnex still does alright, but it'll be sold and my DNA relegated to backup/dev device, and like you, I'm not sure I'd need a 7" tablet either lol. I loved my gnex so I'm sure I'd love the note 3 or maybe s5, but I love my DNA too. I do like the amoled screens, so I'm leaning towards Sammy I think. Maybe. :confused:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Mic is broken on all ax0x Iconias in 4.2 and 4.3, I don't think its getting fixed any time soon, if ever. Odd since it works on the thrive, and I used the same audio for that too.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
The latest build I see on your site is Jellytime Sosei 4.3 B3. Prior to that it looks like there hasn't been any activity ROM wise in a month or so back to Carbon B2.

I just flashed the boot.img from the Jellytime ROM via Fastboot. Issue still there in TWRP.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - PAC (its alive!)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Sadly for me where I purchased it no longer carries the A100. I can get the A110 but sadly I can see there isn't much ROM development for it. So now it's down to me deciding on which tablet I'm going to get now.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If storage isn't an issue, the new N7, if it is, Samsung tab. That's my choices if I ever go buy another 7" tab. 10", the new Sammy should be quite nice.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - PAC (its alive!)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
The new N7 is very nice from the time I played with it at Best Buy. However all the stuff I've heard about the light leakage has me that concerned that it might be off my list just because of that. Well and storage too. And as far as I can tell besides a slight bump in processor and IR there's next to no difference between the Galaxy Tab 2 and 3 at the 7 inch level. Well okay the GT2 does have far better dev support right now due to it being around longer. I still don't get why Samsung hasn't upgraded the screen since they've been using the same one for what seems like forever.

It is a bummer the A110 didn't get much for dev support beyond rooted. Pretty sweet processor on it (Tegra 3 quad core) and pretty similar to the A100 feature wise (micro SD, micro/mini/whatever HDMI, etc). Then again it could be worse I could be considering one of those god awful trash tablets by Hisense or some other fly by night company. Or the ASUS MeMo for that matter which is one big "why does this thing even exist" tablet.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I've been seeing good things about the hisense, I guess for its price, anyways. My mom got the tab 2 and its nice and all, certainly better then the a100 lol. I know nothing about that MeMo thing other then no one cares about it.

Light leak doesn't bother me much outside of watching movies, my excite has a little on one upper side, a few inches I never see until I watch a video at night, then its slightly annoying but I get used to it after a few minutes. The DNA has some from the backlight on the buttons, but you have to look for it at an angle lol

I suppose if I got one, given money being non existent and I should buy one anyways :rolleyes: the hisense might be an alright deal for a little dev device. I'd consider the a110 but yeah...Acer never corrected their mistake on the A100 so I dunno if I'd ever trust them again, but would also make a nice little dev device too.

Given I have the 10" tegra3 excite and the even more powerful DNA, I can't go back to anything less then a tegra3 or S4 krait.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - PAC (its alive!)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah I'm swinging towards the Tab 2 myself namely due to it being fairly inexpensive and nearly the same specs ass the Tab 3. Also I just noticed that the Tab 2 7 inch actually has the IR Blaster. Not that I'd use it much as the DirecTV tablet app can do the same switch the channel stuff etc as the Samsung app has. But nice to have it there.

That's a bummer about Acer as well. Their tablets tend to have some dang nice specs on them but it seems like they haven't learned from the few mistakes they have made (eMMC being one of them). I just looked at the Hisense Sero Pro 7 inch. To be honest on paper it looks like a pretty nice tablet. Looks like it's running near stockish Android 4.2 and there's already an debloated/tweaked ROM as well.

Dang it now you got me debating between this and the Tab 2.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Personally I'm leaning to the hisense, but I've always leaned to lower development devices, the tab 2 has plenty of crap, is have no need to build for it, the hisense, there may be fun to be had with it. Hard to say as I've never used one, and that may break it for me, like the a100 screen angles, if I had seen that before buying, I never would have gotten one and gone with Samsung instead.

Yeah the tab 2 has a blaster, my mom has never used it once lol. Hers is still fully stock, unrooted, there hasn't been a reason to mod it yet.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
This review on Engadget is pretty promising. The headphone issue isn't a killer for me as to be honest I never really used headphones back on my A100. Their comments on the display however is VERY encouraging. It looks like several Wal-Mart stores in my area carry this tablet. I might stop by one soon to see if they have it on display and "kick the tires" to see if I like this or not.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Hmm the headphone thing may be an issue as I use headphones more then the speakers, but IMO the review of the screen just might outweigh that lol. Not like I'm getting one anytime soon, though, I'm saving up for my next phone. By saving up I mean not selling/trading/bartering for weeks to manage the money for it.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - PAC (its alive!)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
So much for all the Carbon talk. LOL!

But since we are on the topic of different tabs I guess I'll weigh in with my 2 cents :D

I'd avoid anything with touchwiz like the plague. In my opinion it ruins android. I used to have a Galaxy Infuse and I wanted to kill myself when I used it. Also I wouldn't go with anything below Nexus 7 resolution. Once you get used to the higher res, you can't go back. The memo pad 7 is a bit of a "why god why?" tablet, but Asus just released the memo pad 7HD. It actually has a CPU in it!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah I've gotten a bit more relaxed about staying on topic, if something random starts and a conversation is going on, meh as long as it stays away from flame wars I don't even care anymore lol.

As for HD screens, yeah, after using my DNA for about a year its hard to see other screens now, it runs a 480 PPI 5" 1080p slcd3 panel, absolutely gorgeous. Its ruined me for anything lower then 720p now, the a100 makes my face hurt. I don't especially mind twiz, it was alright on my gs2, but I hate the launcher keeping the app drawer permanently on the far right, I know,another launcher will fix that, but you know me, I got it home, used twiz long enough to check it works, rooted and had cm on it within an hour of owning it.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
The memo pad isn't too bad. Its called "memo pad" not "shadow gun 1080p porn pad". So for what it was I'd say it wasn't OK bad. The a110 has the same emmc???? What? I do like the hisence but I want the new N7 or the new galaxy tab. IRS a tough call.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Pft first thing I do is use it for porn. Then I root. If it can't do porn, it goes back.

Does the a110 have the same emmc? Acer can't be that stupid/cheap. New galaxy tab 7 vs nexus 7 is no contest spec wise, though. Its the IR blaster and SD slot in the galaxy tab favor, everything else is the nexus 7.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - PAC (its alive!)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Well good news. From my half a day use on the Sero Pro 7 with the ROM I am running the headphones issue is gone. Seems like the initial stock ROM that comes with it had a bug that didn't always detect when headphones are in use but the first update pushed has that fixed. This device is pretty close to stockish Android out of the box with only a few bits of custom theming. There is some expected bloat apps such as Walmart, Vudu, and some others. The display is quite beautiful even if it's only 1280x800 or so. Text is very clear, blacks are deep, etc. Also to note while the specs say it can take up to 32 GB Micro SD cards I just confirmed with my own Sandisk 64 GB card that it will in fact work with 64 GB just fine.

This is certainly a steal of a tablet at $130. I'm loving it so far.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
Did you root and try a custom rom yet
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Thanks for letting us know. Back when the A100 came out it filled a niche that no one else had, but Acer missed their mark badly and I think this just might be what the A1xx SHOULD have been. I'll certainly be looking to get one as money permits, maybe closer to Xmas after I see if I'll update my phone or not as I'll be selling devices to fund that lol.

I am surprised no one is blowing up the thread about these 4.3 builds you did, especially since one is the beloved jellytime
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jreink01:
I just installed this rom from stock. This rom is nice but I am having a few issues. I only have 6 apps on the device and its saying that I only have 1.1gb free and 4.1 gb used. I looked under storage and there is nothing taking up that much space. If I install all my app that I like about 90, it then says I am low on space. I have installed the same apps on my phone and they take up less than 1gb. I don't know what is taking up so much space.

My other issue is when I did a backup through recovery (CWM) I can't find the folder its in. I have done 2 different backups and cant find either one. I've looked on the sd card (internal storage) and also on the ext sd in the CWM folder and its empty. When I was on stock, I also made a backup and I found it on the sd card in the CWM folder. I then moved this file to the ext card under CWM and that one is still there.. Ever since I did the backups on this carbonrom, I can't find the backup location. I tried going back into CWM and seeing if there was a settings option to designate where to put the backups but could not find a option for that. If anyone has any feedback on what is going on, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
No idea where that space went, it doesn't do it for me. I think you're having the 4.2 file system change issue, users who don't know about it have phantom space usage issues because the file ARE there taking up space but show differently in 4.2+ from 4.1.

In a 4.2+ ROM your sdcard isn't /data/media like in 4.1 and older, it's /0 which is what you see when looking. Navigate to /data/media and you'll see where your space is being used up. This is a common question that Google will yield tons of info on if you're interested in researching it for yourself, if not then simply moving data from /data/media to /0 will work. Move it back to go back to anything lower then 4.2.

Cwm is old and outdated, it doesn't support 4.2 and I would suggest twrp 2.5+ for use with these Roms unless cwm was updated to support it on the a100. If not you'll continue having issues like this. That aside, you'll likely find them in /0 or /data/media while in cwm, its the same issue as above.

Also, how do I install this since I already have CWM installed? Do I have to uninstall CWM? Is this a zip install or tar install??
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Easiest is probably through the goo manager app, it can install it, otherwise fastboot will be a way, someone may have a flashable zip too, if they do then look in the twrp thread here in development. It will replace cwm and cwm backups are not compatible so they'll be useless until cwm is installed again, and remember to make a new backup.

If you have certain setups saved, like I have 3, then you'll need to restore in cwm, flash twrp, backup, flash cwm, restore the next one, flash twrp, backup and so on for each backup you want to "transfer" over to twrp.
