[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
When I get some time, I'll try out your latest CM10 build, and if all is well with it, I'd say drop the CM10 work. CM10 is getting a little old and I think we have pushed the limits of what 4.1.2 can do already. I'll use your Aug 2 version if all is well and wouldn't update the base of the rom anymore.

I'd say stick with carbon because it looks like you got a pretty good build of it already up. I wouldn't complain if you mucked around with CM10.1 either :P
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
I haven't used the other ROMs but Carbon looks promising. Most things are working and it's stable. My vote goes to Carbon :) Though I wouldn't mind testing out CM10.1.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Personally I'd be fine with the two existing 4.2.2 ROMs (Carbon and PAC). Ever since I figured out the Superuser issue yesterday the PAC build has been running like a champ with exceptions of the camera issue. I'll test the Carbon build in a bit to see if what's been added in has fixed camera. Besides that I prefer PAC myself since I like the AOKP features such as eight shortcuts on the lock screen and what not.

I'm a fan of ChameleonOS
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
CM10.1 is still around because I do my testing for the Thrive on it, and is I think previously what was running for the A100 as well.. [MENTION=2158597]hardslog[/MENTION], would you prefer CM10.1 for your next generation ROM base? I know some simply prefer CM builds over other versions so I'm fine adding that along with Carbon for continued support since the source will be there anyways.

PAC is also in the forefront of my tinkering, it's proven easier to work with (usually) then ReVolt is, of the two hybrid ROMs. I may just eventually release each type of ROM I deal with and update each as I have time...

Do we REALLY need 6 4.2 ROMs? Yes, yes we do.

The issue isn't really building them, in most cases they can be built alright, its space and time really. As the DNA is on 4.3, and the thrive and a100 are on 4.2 still, that's either I have to:

Download each version, using up twice the space

Change branches back and forth, which means I have to let it sit for an hour before I can even work on anything

Or...well yeah, update to 4.3 on them too, but really, tegra2 devices going to 4.3? I dunno if anyone has yet.

That is supposed to be cm 10.2 on Atrix
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
OK so its been done, won't be as annoying as being the first to do 4.2 on a non nexus device and tegra2 lol
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
Lol true

CM10.1 would be most sexy :D

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
Does the newest carbon have your latest kernel?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Its the exact same one, no changes besides libs for the camera.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] billquinn1:
I would love to see that. I use it day to day on my laptop but have not seen it on a tablet. looks too buggy for my Gs3.

Camera still not working (frozen) on the new build when changing resolution. Not that I use the tablet's camera often, got my phone for that. Just testing and reporting.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
I'm in on that. I'm assuming it was on Freenode, right?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
My vote is for Carbon, for the sheer flexibility on layouts (a pre-occupation of mine), followed by PAC.

Though there are only a few of us here commenting, a quick look at the thread hits suggests there are alot more who are following this (nearly at 2000 page views) but not commenting. :)

At the end of the day, any 4.2.2 is brilliant in my book. Not fussed about 4.3 for the relatively minor changes it brings, but if it were possible then great too.

On a side note, were you able to fix the MIC for your release of PAC rom?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah I realize I have thousands of users between my devices (over 5K last I checked), what I meant was the community that is active here, or with me even off forums.

No, I haven't even looked at the mic much yet, I'm putting it off while I clean up the trees for 4.2 to put them up, then working out the kinks in 4.3. I've decided to kind of skip 4.2 if possible and go for 4.3 and keep all the devices on the same source versions vs 2 or 3.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Here's a CM10.1 to play with

http://pio-masaki.com/a100/CM10.1/cm-10.1-20130813-UNOFFICIAL-a100.zip
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
That would be interesting to see how 4.3 would run on the A100 for sure. On my Verizon Note 2 we got a few 4.3 ROMs but most of them are still a bit aways from daily driver. The closest we have right now is Commotio/Vanir which has nearly everything working for the most part. Just a few slight bugs away from perfect daily driver.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah I have 4.3 carbon nearly dialed in on my DNA then I'll start in the older devices, not a ton of changes so it shouldn't be to bad.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] CountAltec:
First of all, thanks for bringing 4.2.2 to the A100.

I will be flashing Carbon today to give it a shot. I use XenonHD on my GN and its a fantastic feature filled stable ROM. Ultimately, I'm good with any 4.2.2 ROM you have for the A100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Looks like XenonHD is next on the lost then guys. And CM10.1 for hardslog :D

I just flashed Carbon and its working great so far. All I have done is install some of my apps and stream some music.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
On Carbon latest build, I noticed Netflix playback doesn't have the on screen controls such as progress bar, volume. When pressing the back button during playback, it exits all the way to the launcher home screen instead of Netflix home.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] synner2524:
I want to thank you for the carbon rom. I am not active in the forums at all but wanted to at least extend my gratitude. I won't be loading any other rom on this thing... well at least for a bit. Wifi fix and mic fix would probably make it my permanent rom.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
What's wrong with the WiFi?

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - MoKee
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
Works for me
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
Wifi works fine for me too. Though at one time, it refused to connect to any network, reboot fixed it.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] CountAltec:
I have the same issue with Netflix app.

Also, I find that the keyboard disappears/minimizes when typing. Happens in Gmail app, xda app. Anyone have this issue?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
Yes, I experienced that with the stock keyboard too, but I don't use the stock keyboard. I installed Thumb keyboard instead and it's working fine.

Beamed from my GS III via Tapatalk
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] CountAltec:
I will install Swift Key and see if the keyboard issue occurs.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Only happens on stock keyboard. I think its a bug with the DPI hack. Change the ui mode and see what happens.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
What DPI hack? It runs the default DPI unless its changed at some point. I think.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - MoKee
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] CountAltec:
I installed the Google keyboard and that seems to work fine.

Another issue I noticed is that if I change the battery icon in the status bar it eventually defaults to the stock icon if I return to the home screen.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yeah B3 fixed that, but for some reason vanished from the host...since I'm on 4.3 source it'll be a little bit before I can make another one.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - MoKee
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] CountAltec:
So will B3 be based on 4.3??:D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
No, its based on 4.2 its just isn't on the server for some reason.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - MoKee
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Errrrr uhm. I mean the interface change

Like change to taboet and ba
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
That doesn't rely on DPI changes, though, it stays at 160 unless you specifically change it. I'm not sure why it crashes but it does on the Thrive, too. Turning off suggest contacts helps. Or just use any other keyboard on the market lol

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Ah whatever it does, hahaha. Im using the Google keyboard now. Lol.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] synner2524:
have to restart the tab a lot to get it to connect. I have the option to leave on but when I am at work it won't detect anything until I restart...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] synner2524:
At my office we have multiple ap's controlled by ringmaster that authenticate against a radius server by way of ad creds. When I restart (have to every morning if I want to connect) everything works fine until I start moving around in the office. During hand-off from one ap to another it loses connection and borks it so that I have to restart again. In another simpler scenario my home router works with it great, until I change the wireless password and then, boom, wireless no longer receives any ssid and I have to restart. If this was just at home fine but I would like to use at work as I am help desk/sys admin and am constantly running around the office. If there is something I am doing wrong I can understand as I am a novice when it comes roms, etc... It took me at least 5 attempts to get carbon going properly, sooo.... Take that fwiw.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Not to be an ass, but it took 5 tries to get carbon going properly, meaning what? 5 Flashes or after flashing? Just wondering since I can just flash it, the gapps, and blast off, it doesn't take retries to get it going. Seriously asking, not BSing you or anything.

The WiFi stuff, yeah that sounds like a big issue, unfortunately the change over from BCM4329 to BCMDHD wasn't 100% smooth, I'm lucky I got WiFi going at all. You may want to stick with a proven ROM for WiFi performance as it does directly concern your work ability. I'm off the A100 for my time rotation but I'll look at WiFi again and see if I can't get it a little more stable when handling any kind of change at all when I have time to swing back to the A100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] synner2524:
I simply meant that it took me five tries because I am a novice at this ****. I don't know if I didn't let it settle long enough or if I had the wrong version of gapps. Wasn't an inference on the rom or your craftsmanship. As I stated I love the rom and it is more responsive than any other I have tried including the stock rom. I don't think you had to say 'not to be an ass' because I wouldn't of thought that except you said it it so I am now thinking you were being an ass. Whatever, free tab for me guess I'll play a bit longer and look for something else. And to show my appreciation I'll even donate, not much but if I could do more I would.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
lol well I said that because, at least on XDA, a lot of users (including me) get all offended or butthurt quite easily, I wasn't saying I was pissy because you said something about the ROM, I was curious as to what was going on and if I needed to look at something else in the ROM as well, that's all. Figures by trying to not put the idea that I'm being as ass in your head, I put that I'm being an ass in your head :silly:

And thank you for the donation!

Anyone able to get the Netflix app working? I launches and starts playing the video but there are no on screen menus (pause, volume, progress bar) and the back button goes to the home screen instead of the Netflix video listing.

I'm wondering if the app works incorrectly in Carbon.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mrsmiles:
not sure which rom i was using before but it was very clunky and slow, after having messed up the ROM (wouldn't load into OS) i came back here to the A100 forums and found this Carbon ROM after installing and changing the settings, it was smooth and fast.

love it, thanks for the work you put into this old beast definitely keeping this device alive.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
I'm getting the same issue on the PAC ROM as well. I installed the Xposed framework fix which got the UI (ie: pause, volume, progress) to work but the video doesn't go full screen. So I removed the framework fix and did a fresh install of Netflix. Did a reboot and got a logcat of what happens when I try to play a video on Netflix. I attached said logcat to this post. I had to use aLogcat since my normal logcat program I use (Catlog) apparently I can't access the menu on it at all.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] splatoid:
Hey just thought id chime in. I haven't had much time lately but I just saw this thread and read all the way through and looks like a great build I will have to give this one a try.

Thanks pio_masaki For all your hard work on these Rom's. And for being helpful when I have needed some assistance.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] CountAltec:
I notice at lot of messages from your logcat with

I have no idea what this means. :(

Hopefully the devs know what this is all about.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It means just what it looks like, chances are it can't load the UI because it can't find the free memory to do so. Its one reason I didn't want to pursue 4.2 or now 4.3 on the tegra2, we're still using ICS drivers and libs, and they sucked to begin with. Unless a tegra2 device happens to get 4.2 and is compatible with our devices, or someone who knows more then I do happens along, I'm not sure that'll get fixed.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Yes, he does mean someone fix it. Or learn how. #GitErDone

Really though if we could fix those drivers up, this tab would be 100% better
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
What other tablets use our Tegra 2 chipset?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] brian999:
I think the file named CARBON-UNOFFICIAL-20130803-a100.zip on your website maybe your 8.03.13-B3 - CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20130803-2330-a100.zip version.

When I download the zip and looked at the build.prop it says "romstats.name=CarbonRom-ro.romstats.version=CARBON-JB-UNOFFICIAL-20130803-2330ro.config.ringtone"

Thank you for this rom!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Its not just you, but I haven't seen it happen on mine.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] CountAltec:
It happened to me last night. That was the first time.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok a few things to address here...no I'm not going on a meltdown rampage :angel:

BEGIN RANT!

I haven't updated 4.2 Carbon because Carbon hasn't done anything else on it, so, stagnant source means no real reason to update besides a newer date in your build.prop.

I haven't updated 4.2 anything because the bugs in 4.2 are still present, namely WiFi is twitchy and mic doesn't work. You wouldn't believe how much crap I caught for the mic so far. It's enough to make me want to send this A100 to hardslog and leave this place, it's stupid. Over the MIC of all things.

I haven't worked on updating or fixing 4.2 at all because I didn't see a point in fixing a dead end project, so I'm spending my time on 4.3 instead.

Almost lastly, device time is heavily influenced by user support (I don't mean the thanks button, though that's awesome too). I have no income, I'll not plop out a novel of my life, but I did sort of at one point in another thread, which if you want to get to know me better, you can feel free to read here. Anyways, for those that chose not to read that, it basically states why I don't work, and why donations are a high priority for me, it's my only cash income, period. Each month, my $30 phone bill is a stretch to hit, and the $3 host fee is hardly ever covered. That's $33 I have to beg for every month for my hours of work in anything I do. Plus whatever user support I give, which, if the thanks count indicates anything, I do often. So, I know it's a douchebag move, but I spend more time working with a device that "pays", it's unfair, I know, and I feel like a **** for doing it, but its how I make money, until donations are no longer needed to buy anything like diapers and other basics, then I'll go on a pure time based rotation again.

Lastly, again I'll remind some users who think I should be working on the A100 constantly, I have a few hours a day, maybe, to work on ANYTHING that I want, this includes watching a movie, or playing a game, or building a kernel, building a ROM, etc, for at least 3 devices, for a total of over 15 ROMs I support. This time is further cut down on a per device basis, as I mentioned before I follow a kind of rotation of devices, trying to get something done on each device each week when possible. Just because nothing was released, doesn't mean I didn't spend 19 hours working on it, just nothing came from the work involved. It takes users like 10 minutes to download the ROM, a few minutes backing up, minute or two more to flash it, then however long to set it up if it's a clean flash, if its dirty, none. That took this user like half an hour, that half an hour took me 4 hours.

/RANT

TL;DNR

No reason to update 4.2 when I'm working on 4.3 in my spare time.

That said, I'm attempting to build a 4.3 Carbon as I write this. It takes awhile, which is probably why I ended up writing a magazine article on how my life sucks :p
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok 4.3 boots, its pretty unusable as the SystemUI is constantly crashing. So far, what I can see is:

Sound appears busted, no screen taps are heard

WiFi does work, at least it turns on and shows APs

HW Acceleration is in full effect, much smoother then 4.2 ever was

Storage is all messed up, not sure whats working or not there yet

That's all I've had time to play with.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Are you familiar with getting a logcat and posting it here? If not then use an app like Catlog or aLogcat or this tutorial to get one the next time it happens then attach the logcat to your next post in this thread. That could help diagnose the issue and what's going on when it happens.

And pio thank you thank you thank you for all the hard work you have put into the A100. :)

And finally... TWRP 2.6.1.0 is out now. I've updated the Windows and Linux installers just a moment ago.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Project Update:

Ok, CM dropped support for the Tegra2 completely, and 4.3 deals with a lot of NEON stuff that the Tegra2 doesn't support, so its been an annoying process having to patch all this stuff to support the Tegra2. This will be my final project for the A100, with support for non NEON devices, and the Tegra2 in particular, being dropped, the device is coming to an end of being upgradable. How it goes when KLP comes out really depends on if they push further away from non NEON devices not being able to run anything anymore or not.

That aside, I've talked to Randomblame who, some of you may still recall, is one of the granddaddies of the Iconias, and he's helping me over the last hurdle before I put something out for you guys, which is audio.

Change Log:

Init and fstab changes to correct storage

frameworks/av changes to allow our old nvidia OMX to work with 4.3

bionic changes to help the build process along and tegra optimizations

Working:

Boots

HW Acceleration

Internal Storage

External Storage

WiFi

Not working:

Camera

Audio

Untested:

HDMI

GPS

Bluetooth

Dock

Anything else

Currently not using Carbon as a base since its AOSP based, I've instead been using MoKee, a side project for the DNA I do, and since it's CM10.2 based, its an easier base to work with for now. Carbon DOES run, though, so no worries there.

I should start a 4.3 thread...lol it's gonna get confusing in here really quick.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
I was thinking the same thing a few days ago as now we got discussion about the several 4.2 ROMs along with 4.3 mixed in right now.

I'll test Bluetooth, HDMI, and GPS for you once you get a build out for us. I'll get logs for you with any issues I find. At this point I'm assuming the 4.2 overclock kernel you created won't work on any of the 4.3 ROMs?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
The kernel doesn't appear to need much, if any, changes. So it should still work in 4.3, I haven't tested the over clock yet in 4.3, still keeping the stock limiters on while I finish up the bug hunt.

And there's only 2 4.2 ROMs, I would hardly consider that several :p

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
If you don't get around to testing over clock then I'll jump in on that.
