"That didn't work for some reason"

Thanks for your work sir, currently trying to the above procedures. but I keep hitting walls.....
[Acer Iconia A500] Silencer82:
I also cannot download this for some strange reason. I have just bought an A500(Picasso) 32 GB tablet on a local flea market for $5, just for my collection of old stuff. And I would like to play with it, as the ICS is outdated, and I would like to make my own custom ROM. But I cannot download these files anywhere else.Any new links would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] webhook:
I've provided a download link on MEGA :D

1.36 GB file on MEGA

mega.nz

If the link becomes invaild, please shoot me up a DM!

This is a backup I've had saved til the download links were down.
[Acer Iconia A500] Silencer82:
Thank you. I am downloading now.
[Acer Iconia A500] Silencer82:
Good evening everybody,

I have downloaded the pack but Blackthund3r's ICS root does nothing on a 32 bit Windows 7 machine. Not even rebooting the tablet at the end.Acer ADB device and Acer MTP device is recognized and installed successfully by the way.

I am also willing to try ICS_rooting_A10x_A5xx.zip, but I can not find it anywhere on the internet.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] webhook:
Thing is.. You cannot use Blackthun3r ICS tool.. It's not usable anymore. However I have the ICS_rooting_a10x_a5xx file.
[Acer Iconia A500] Silencer82:
Thank you. Will try that as soon as I get home from the hospital :)

Hi friends I am seeing that there was up to version SkrilaxCZ V10 bootloader as I can update it having version 9 can be updated from the twrp?

I thank you in advance for your kind help Greetings!!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] DeafGeek:
Anyway to get the nvflash drivers to work on win 10 or win 11? or do i need to find a way to run win7 in a virtual pc just for bootloader flashing? it keep saying USB device not found after i paste in the SBK provided by the SBCalc tool. no matter what i do with the NVflash drivers and device manager it wont work, it keep saying there no digital driver signing or something like that. only once i got APX to show with a ! in device manager but i havent seen it since. I might have a Win 8.1 laptop somewhere let me see if i can find the cords for it then ill try it from there too. whelp, no go for this win10/11 laptop, secureboot policy protection wont let me disable testsign and nointegrity checks, i remember that one working on my old win8 laptop to install some PS3/PS4 controller drivers.
[Acer Iconia A500] webhook:
Last time I tried it out, it worked on Windows 7 and maybe Windows 10. I don't have another tablet to test that theory, and this was back in November 2022. Try Windows 10 but then use Windows 7/8.
[Acer Iconia A500] webhook:
You can try to update the bootloader via TWRP. Have not tried though, but take all actions but not for the faint of the heart.

After trying many many ROM and GAPPS combinations, the best way to actually run Acer Iconia A500 in 2023 is to use this ROM (Jellybean):

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-wip-cm10-jellybean-4-1-2-unofficial-for-acer-a500-build-3.1961469/

This GAPPS (A working link for the GAPPS mentioned in original ROM post)

gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip | by NavyFighter12 for Generic Device/Other

All apps updated to 4.1.2 versions. Google Play Store updated to 3.9.16. Should be backwards-compatible with 4.1.1. Does NOT contain the leaked Gmail with pinch-to-zoom. GApps do not include leaked/test versions of Play Store applications, especially when the signing key differs from the Play...

androidfilehost.com

while logging in to google for the first time you can use "browser sign in",

don't worry jellybean will automatically prompt you

After all is working update Google Play Services and Play Store with these APKs:

Okay
[Acer Iconia A500] nktnkt:
Yes, this combination realy works BUT.... what can be installed from Google Play, almost nothing. This device is trash, too old.I need this tablet for my kid, to watch YT Kids and surf the Internet , ieahh no way to run YT Kids in any ROM or install working Browser or Games. For now my solution to use this "tablet" in 2023 is Omni 5.1.1--> NO Gapps, F-droid (some old version) and Aurora Store. Some games can be installed , but not much sooo.......... IT IS OLD, Next year i will buy somethinfg NEW. Bye ACER (sorry i`m bad in English)
[Acer Iconia A500] webhook:
GApps for some reason pops up errors every 10 minutes. I'll just reset the device and use Aurora Store instead.

GAPPS Installation

To install GAPPS you should increase the /system partition size

This can be done for example with

TWRP HH.R

Spoiler content hidden.

Also LineageOS Team have recommendations about GAPPS

Here are the most important two copied from LineageOS WiKi:

If you opt to use Open GApps, they offer a variety of sizes of packages that include and overwrite different apps. We only recommend package sizes up through

nano

. If you use a larger package, we can not guarantee that everything will function on your device, as in many of these cases our included apps are overwritten in favor of the Google App equivalents.

Google apps should be installed via recovery

immediately

after installing LineageOS. If you reboot into LineageOS before installing Google apps, you must factory reset and then install them, otherwise expect crashes.

Hardware Macaddress

Thanks for this amazing rom which is super fast. I am unable to connect to my home WiFi with static ip.

My configuration is - Nexus 5 32 GB, Rom 24 Jan, Open Gapps Nano 23 Jan, TWRP system repartioned to 2GB..

Unable to disable Mac randamnization....can’t find any toggle.hence unable to use hardware MAC address.

Kindly advise a fix. Thanks in advance.

How is the battery-drain for you? I tried an earlier version and that wasn't nice regarding battery. Almost half the time compared to the 16.0.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zheega:
I've just run a single charge on the last build, but seems good so far. Better than 16.0 I would say.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eupalino:
Encryption working flawlessly !!!

Beta TWRP decrypts DATA in recovery !!! (carefully read instructions and posts.)

Excellent work, everybody.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aa84:
Static ip works for me and I dont have mac randomization.

I dirty flashed from lineage-16.0-20191225 to 17.1-20200124 and wiped cached/davik. Everything seems fine (old apps, lte, camera, wifi). Only thing I miss is homescreen icon grid is max 5x5, I liked 5x7. Nice work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Toedels:
I'm trying to flash the rom to my nexus5 with twrp. The installation went ok, but when i boot, it seems to stuck at the loading screen (blue ball going from right to left). Am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:
Mac randomization is disabled cos our device doesn't support it. Have u been able to connect to your WiFi on LOS 16? Can u send me logcat?

Looks very strange. Have u wiped your partitions before installation? Tell me version of TWRP and versions of ROM, GAPPS and Magisk you tried to install.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Toedels:
I'm a little further. I've installed lineage-17.1-20200119-UNOFFICIAL-hammerhead.zip and it's booting. But when i want to install open_gapps-arm-10.0-pico-20200124.zip, it says there's not enough space.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:
This old build is permissive and device is not certified in Play Market. Use build 20200123 or newer cos they are enforcing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Toedels:
That did the trick! I'll try to install the latest version now.

It feels really smooth. Didn't expect that on such old device.

I can't install magisk version 20.3 on build 03/08. What to do?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:
Works fine for me. What do you see? Does your phone shows boot animation after installing magisk?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Francescob89:
Installed. it works fine. I guess that you must set a pin first. I want to run linux deploy have you ever tried?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:
Well, just install MagiskManager.apk. Sometimes app doesn't appear after installing Magisk from recovery. I guess that this is an Magisk issue because i saw this on LOS 16.0 and LOS 17.1
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:
What do you mean by "linux deploy"?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Francescob89:
an app for run linux / docker . but I can't get it working.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:
Never tried that app. Actually i think that this makes no sense because there is not much available RAM on N5 to run it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Francescob89:
it's just for fun. I know that can't ask features but if you have time can you provide a busybox installed on the system?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:
Nope. LineageOS switched from busybox to toybox and i won't change it. I'm building the ROM without any changes in the system...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] edison0354:
Maybe use the Magisk module instead?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Francescob89:
I installed the magisk module but I need to install it in a custom folder. I switched this linux thing to my p9lite but I can't run docker on ubuntu because running linux with chroot uses the kernel of the device that don't support cgroup memory limit

Does anyone know if you can get GCam 7.3 working in Hammerhead?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
I don't believe you can use any Gcam after version 4.2 because newer versions are written for 64-bit architecture and Nexus devices are 32-bit.

Just for fun I tried to install a Gcam 7.3 on my Nexus 6 and, as always, it failed to install, without explanation, but I'm certain that it's the architecture mismatch that makes it fail.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
If you mean 17.1, have a look at this comment in another thread on the same subject and also the following comments. It may be an Android 10 problem but unrelated to the specific ROM, and the cause and resolution may not be real, but it's worth being aware of the possibility.

Guys, how do you install this build right now?

Do you use the last official nexus5 twrp or using another method?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sant514:
The official TWRP 3.3.1-0 does NOT work with Android 10.

Please help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z3DD3r:

1. Which build of the rom u trying to install?

2. Which recovery do u use?

3. Can u post screenshot with the error?

I am using the latest build 17.1-20200317, the scripting didnt work, all I had to do was follow the repartition step mentioned in the link above and the rest worked like a charm.

I also unchecked to install TWRP as system app, else the phone will be stuck in a bootloop.

Answering your question I am using TWRP 3.3.1-1_UA-hh.

Hey

Was your phone hot before reboot? Have u installed any mods (custom kernel, kernel tweaks)?

Log tells about high battery temperature if i understood correctly...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bluetooth-bug:
I have no custom kernel nor kernel tweaks. The phone wasn't hot to the touch. I just had it in my pocket. Took it out and I played around with Kaossilator. That's all I did. I checked the log and I see 30.2 Celsius. That's honestly not that high compared to body temperature.

Edit: However I do see the SoC temperature a bit high. Nothing too crazy though. Those are normal temps and sometimes I see over 60 Celsius in TWRP when flashing something.

i already resized my system partition up to 2gb using a modified version of parted with adb shell on my pc

can i flash directly your modified versions of TWRP (R and S4)? or i will end to hard brick my phone? im really worried about that :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Vish11:
No need of any modified TWRP, just flash the ROM and GApps, I recently installed this ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mark_8:
But can you confirm official twrp is 100% compatible with android 10?

I use twrp also to do check disk on data and cache partitions , plus on other threads i read that it cant detect correctly userdata beacuse of new rules and restrictions of android 10...

So for now im a bit interdict :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sant514:
This ROM is in need for repartitioning. The best solution for it is the TWRP from z3DD3r, he builds and this PERFECT ROM.

And NO, the official TWRP is uncompatible with Android 10. It can not make decryption in all Android versions from 8 and up.

My advice is that, NOT USE official TWRP in Android 8 and up, if you don't want problems with brick, bootloop and etc....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Vish11:
Sorry mate, I was thinking about something else that time... maybe.

You can't use the official TWRP, and you said that you have already partitioned it to 2GB that will work without a problem. Just use this TWRP :

twrp-3.3.1-1_UA-hh.img
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mark_8:
you refer to another thing avaible in recovery but in oreo 8.1 and this android 9 i didnt have any issue using last official twrp...

I can be wrong, maybe [MENTION=7268092]z3DD3r[/MENTION] with "decryption" statement intends the possibility to decript data if it was encrypted from the OS option :)

Hi!

I'm just a simple user not a developer. Actually I use LOS 14.1 - I'm very satisfied with it - but now, I would like to try the new LOS 17.1 (20200324) & Gapps (pico). I don't want to brick my favourite phone, because I love it and I don't have another.

Please help me, and confirm or correct my installation "theory"!

Thank you for your help in advance!

Best regards,

Yes, of course you can install via ADB sideload, Magisk v20.3, if you want/need/use "superuser".
