[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fBx:
Hey there, I own a Nexus 7 now for quite some time, only rooted it back then, I am still on 4.2 original rom. It's getting a bit too slow for my taste now compared with my HTC One's speed on ARHD.

Can you recommend a rom for me thats both fast and lightweight? I do not need fancy optical stuff, I only use some widgets and use it mainly for browsing, facebook and stuff like that, maybe the occasional game. Performance when browsing would be my priority. Thanks!

The screen itself is in Glass so is not so easy to scratch it but the problem with the Z1 is the shatter resistant screen protector, is easy to scratch it because is in plastic.

Greetings!

I just made my first custom ROM by porting the great A700 ROM from pawitp to the A701 by adding 3G to it.

As it is the first time I post a ROM here, please bear with me if I do not do everything right from the start. I tried to read all the rules and follow them, but theres just so many of them ;)

So, as I said, this ROM is mainly pawitps A700 ROM with added 3G, so most credits go to pawitp for making this possible in the first place!

And now - have fun! =D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
Hello,

thanks a lot for yur work. It's great to see a a solution for the 3G !!!

I'll test your ROM as soon as I can.

If I can make a suggestion that would be to merge your patch into the Cyanogenmod repository so it is integrated into the future releases. I'm sure pawitp would help you get that merged.

And before anyone elses asks, the rules of the forum requires all the devs to link the sources of their kernel to comply with the GPL licence. Could you do that please ? That would be great to see some action around the A701 :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
If pawitp wants to merge the solution for 3G into the Cyanogenmod repository, I am more than happy =D I haven't done this to become "famous" or be recognized as a developer here, but because my A701 was suffering from great neglect by Acer (and by me, because it was so laggy with the stock rom ;)

I haven't modified pawitps T30-Kernel at all, because no change was necessary afaik. But I will try to confirm that with a clean, empty development environment soon. All I did was to add the required libs (libhuawei-ril.so) to the build as well as some build settings and configuration files.

So this ROM is 99,9% pawitp and 0,1% me doing some research and configuration to enable 3G... But of course I am willing to provide each and any information that is required or requested - just bear with me as it is my first venture into open source (and I already love it!) ;)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] paugustin:
Well you are about te become famous amongst us A701 users :D

Thanks again !
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
I have added the links to the kernel source and device source to the first post. I think pawitp might find this interesting ;)

If there are any questions on how I enabled 3G, feel free to ask. I would love to see an official A701 CM =D
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
One thing, I'm pawitp not pawtip.

I'd be more than happy to merge this into the a700 build (I don't want to create a separate build for the a701 if possible).

Can you please:

- Merge all the changes into the tree for a700/t30-common using only 1 commit and send it to me. If you have any problems with any parts, just let me know.

- Zip all the additional proprietary files, upload them somewhere and link it to me.

I'm available on GTalk/Hangouts (https://plus.google.com/+PawitPornkitprasan/posts) if you need to discuss anything.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
Doh, I'm very sorry pawitp, I corrected your name wherever I used it (hopefully).

I will try to merge everything into the a700 build when I am home from work this evening. I think, some stuff cannot be merged, as many changes were about the name (a700->a701), but I will merge everything 3g specific, which is not that much at all. I can live with my device beeing called a700 as long as it works anyway ;)

There is only 1 proprietary file that has been added, the libhuawei-ril.so. I will zip it and send you a pm where you can get it asap.

best regards

mrzottel
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
- Is SMS/MMS working on your ROM, if not, please try and make it work (shouldn't be hard, probably just inheriting full_base_telephony instead of full_base, then remove config_sms_capable = false in the overlay).

- Get rid of init.carrier.rc and just include the changes in init.target.rc (though I don't see why we'd need it, ril-daemon is already there in init.rc)

- Why is chmod pppd on system start needed? Particularly, /system should never be mounted as rw in normal usage.

- Check your ip-up and ip-down to remove unneeded parts (if they are needed at all). I don't see why we'd need to mess with iptables. Other properties are usually automatically set by the RIL.

- Don't worry about breaking the a700 with 3G-related stuff. I will make sure that it will not be affected.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
- SMS: Just did a quick test. It is not working atm, but I will try to fix it with your suggestions.

- init.carrier.rc: I had dropped the rild service there, as it is marked as duplicate during boot anyway. But SIM did not get initialized with only the rild definitiion in init.rc. I will check this again.

- chmod pppd: I got quite a lot of permission errors from pppd not beeing able to access different stuff. This was the quick & dirty solution until I come up with something better ;)

- iptables might be necessary, as I never get a public ip by my phone provider, but a NAT ip like 10.1.2.3. But again I will check ;)

And yes, some of the stuff might be redundant - I was just happy to get 3G working ("Make it Work") and was trying to minimize the changes after first feedback ("Make it Right") ;)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
It's the service's provider's job to NAT, not the tablet's. The only time you're running NAT is when tethering, which Android should set it up for you.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
Ok, I will try to remove as much from my build as possible without breaking 3G this evening, testing each step with my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
SMS now working (sending at least, can't test receiving yet). Now cleaning up the build a bit. Expect Build 2 later this evening ;)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] tipu_ro:
wow!!!

Thank you for this rom!!! My acer a701 tablet is now working like a charm.

Is more faster and stable and now i cand stay online without any lag on browsing files.

Very good rom!!! The 3g connection its working.The only thing that's over my hand is the back,home buttons that are in the middle.Can these can be chaged on the left side of the tablet?

Thx.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
Short update:

SMS: Working now. You were spot on with the required changes. =D

ip-up/ip-down: Removed them, still works.

But unfortunately removing chmod on pppd did break 3G. Logcat tells me, that ppp is missing from the kernel, but this is misleading, as some research I did before showed it to be a permissions issue of pppd. Unfortunately I do not have a hint yet what permission is missing exactly and how to grant it other than doing chown. Maybe you have an idea pawitp?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
Thanks a lot =D

I am currently compiling a test version where I hopefully pushed those buttons to the left (I preferred them there too)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] tipu_ro:
I'll buy you a beer if you succed! Tnx
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mrzottel:
Build 2 is finished, unfortunately only with SMS working and some cleanup as suggested by pawitp. I made an overlay which should have brought these buttons to the left, but it's not working yet. I get back to this later, it's past 1am here ;)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
See PM. I need the log.

EDIT: I managed to trick the lib into using the USB Huawei aircard as the 3G module and tested the changes. You just need to use the proprietary rild. The if-up and if-down scripts are also needed for tethering to work properly (but not the iptables part). I will be pushing my changes to gerrit today.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] indhimaga:
nah this was my good day to taste the new rom for my a701...!!! thanks :good:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
Just some heads up, the modifications have been merged into the CM a700 build and nightlies starting from 20140114 have 3G support.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] indhimaga:
so... can i just download (cm-11-20140114-NIGHTLY-a700.zip) it, than just install for my a701 devices? :confused:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pawitp:
Yes
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] tipu_ro:

where the back and home buttons? in the middle or in the left side?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] tipu_ro:

HI guys! I've recently noticed that my tablet it's connecting by it self at wi-fi or 3g network and the gps is on. Its like someone whats to now were am i or its sending something in the backgroud.Even if i use the airplane mod she's stil conecting. any help. thx
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Luther Blissett:
Well I guess the absence of recent comments is testament to the quality of this rom. In fact I failed to find any bugs so far, only one very minor annoyance - when I'm in plane mode, at lockscreen I'm getting under the lock ring the caption "invalid card" instead of "no service" as expected. By the way, is it just me? Pls somebody confirm...

Anyway, great rom. Thanks Mrzottel and Pawitp!

Thanks you all for answer to my questions :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:

apktool and any photo editor
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] OxygeenHD:
Could you please tell me if you know a guide to do some resizing with APKTool ? About the photo editor, it will be OK, i'm just scared about where i must start ... ^^"
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
apktool is to decompile the apk to edit xml layouts

remember google is your friend - do some searching

every apk is different you will have to read and understand the layouts - best to flash it first then you can see what needs changing
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] aniket.lamba:
My advice : Download the theme from the thread and flash it as it is.When you are booted with the theme,check out what are the problems in the theme.If there are FC's in apps,sign then with the help of android multitool.If the themed apps are not fitting the screen,resize the PNG's with the help of any good photo editing software.

You can search google 'How to port themes' or you can go to the 'Android Themes' section on XDA,make a thread and ask there.Some experienced people might help you more than us! :)

Do you use multi-user support for Ace 2?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:
why need people's opinion on this?

i have no tester nor friends using my phone so i wouldnt need multi-user. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexa.bekoev:
@up, I would like to prove it may be switched off in ROMs by default.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox:
explain why
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexa.bekoev:
[MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION], because multi-user (well, actually absence of the KeyguardMultiUserSelectorView layout when multi-user is activated) causes regular exceptions E/KeyguardHostView: can't find user_selector in layout. Here is a research on this.

So, if few or even none of Ace 2 users need it, I will ask you to deactivate it in CM10.2 as a useless and harmful feature.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox:
Hmm i dont get why it is harmful? If it gives error on logcat that isnt harming davice or slowing it down :what::confused: maybe i am wrong..

Sent from my GT-I8160
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexa.bekoev:
[MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION], I agree that 'harmful' is kind of a bit too strong term, but on the other hand those exceptions prove that multi-user wasn't fully implemented, so it's hard to estimate where else it could misbehave.

I see the following cons; 1) flooding logcat with E-tagged messages, 2) probability of hidden issues.

I'm trying to find pros but so far there are none of them.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryccardo:
Well, why not fix the REAL problem and implement the lockscreen switcher?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexa.bekoev:
1) Motivation; why implementing if nobody needs the feature?

2) Those hypothetical hidden issues wouldn't still be addressed.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryccardo:
Nobody uses Samsung Apps seriously either :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:
xD
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexa.bekoev:
It only means Samsung has other motives.

[MENTION=4947931]Rox[/MENTION], seems nobody interested in multi-user for our device.

I suggest to put "fw.max_users=1" into device/samsung/codina/system.prop. If anybody needs the feature, he or she will be easily able to switch it on. Should I prepare a pull request for 10.2?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The wsx:
I don't need that. Also what advantages has multiuser? Is that like windows multiuser (different apps and widgets on main screen?)

But a guess user option will be perfect (like some lg phone). I don't know that is possible or not. But a guess option which makes some apps locked (like phone app , contacts ,sms) will be usefull. You can give your phone your little brother (sister or child...) and he can play games. You doen't have to concern about it.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofueatsbread:

hi everyone

last week i flashed a KK rom, and i saw in recovery "can't access internal sorage" when i wanted to backup the rom. BUT i could download and flash other roms from the phone.plus, fastboot was not showing anymore "fastboot usb" but "fastboot ac" only, and my PC shows "unknown device" and doesnt see the phone.

i downloaded another rom, and to install it, i wiped data, cache, dalvik, and BY MISTAKE i wiped "internal storage".

and the result is.....: no rom inside the phone, i can't boot because i wiped system, i am still "fastboot ac", so i can't use adb commands....

i tried several cables, computers, tried to reinstall drivers etc....
