Thanks to:
Crsdr37 - for beta testing
m-deejay - for pointing out my ramdisk issue.
You do all this and you take the risk. But remember if you got the CWM working, you should be safe and you can run itsmagic from CWM if you are in doubt. I take no responsibilites if you damage or brick your device. But if you do think its bricked, and you get checksum errors both at boot and recovery, sc2k might be able to help if you saved your UID number.

Apps that can be Freezed with TitaniumBackup without problems (of course if you don't use it)
Acer One Time Init
Acer Sync
Acer Clock Widget
Acer Nidius
Acer Sync Helper
Aupeo!

WMV 1080p works with hardware decoding on 3.1 (i tested the microsoft 1080p samples) and no stuttering or so..
but although some say 1080p hdmi is ok, its actually still just downscaled to 720p output and why our tablet can play it quite nicely.

i decided to add a patch, so you can use Acer stock colors, if you wish.

i will check this one as soon as it is available. tks dexter, will also buy you a beer afterward.
just a remark, and thats the reason why i did not try any of the other rom's, anything besides the kernel is not GPL. so anything coming from ASUS and added to ACER could cause ASUS to intervein and call you a pirate. thus I would ruther stay with stock, and modify stock with my own ideas or at least with things not coming from asus or any other tab maker.
Anyhow tks for your good work.

I don't think thats entirely accurate for Android!..
Asus built their changes on top of Android which is GPL, and changes made to that needs to be openly available for modification..
when we talk application development yes, but Android 3.x OS changes and graphics modifications, i think we can what we like to, as the platform is distributed under GPL.
Only parts i guess will be copyrighted/licensed are GoogleApps, which again Acer do have rights to use, so we can place them on our tablets..

yes, this is stock 3.1 acer rom
Sorry to trouble you more, but would it be too much trouble to use a 3.2 Rom as Base (Virtuous Xoom, Prime, Minimalist 3.2, or other). I realize TouchWiz UX is currently only on 3.1, but 3.2 has those very minor improvements that make it a little better.
Once again sorry and thank you.

While the Samsung and Acer won't let out 3.2 such mod's will be impossible
There is only one basic difference between 3.1 and 3.2 - scaling of old applications

netflix 1.4

Anyone able to try this APK on a stock Iconia?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17409746
Curious if it will work without the patch.
Tried it on mine ... got error 12001 cannot reach netflix and have a great internet connection
drat! and double DRAT!
i know! i had big hopes for this one but I guess this means we will have to wait until at least another version comes out
Works for me. Stock 3.1 rooted. It gave the usual warning about replacing an application with a new one and saved all user data. The video looks great. Thanks.
Edit- I am such a big fat liar... I forgot about the lib patch. I changed back to the stock libnvomx.so and lost the Netflix. I didn't even realize there was a problem with the camcorder.... I promise to try to pay a little more attention in the future...

same issue for me. I even tried clearing data and starting over.
12001 error for me too
Does not work for me either, Stock Rooted A500. Same 12001 error....was hoping it might work.
I have the same problem with Netflix 1.4 and Zoom's build.prop
My A500 specs:
ROM CWM HC 3.2 from fguy
HC 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36.3+
This is strange: I installed the 1.4 app and for me everything now seems to be working. Everything=Netflix and videocamera.
My setup: rooted stock 3.1
What I did: I had already the old Netflix working with the library patch. Installed 1.4. Tested that it works. Reverted to original library file. Tested that both Netflix and videocamera works. Really happy.
Edit: I guess this means that my setup and results are the same as JdgM3NT4L's.

The question is how did you get it working on the 3.1.there are two known methods
1. Change the lib file.this messes up video recording
2.do the Asus fix this changes build.prop files.this one video recording works.but screws up tablet info.and for me caused GPS and other tab issues.very slow digititizee
if you did neither of the two and are on a stock rom
Please post any changes or mods to your tablet.
By the way working Netflix means able to stream movies not just access there site.some are confused by this
Thanks in advance

I did method 1. But there is catch, caveat or something. I had both netflix 1.4 and camcorder working perfectly after installing 1.4 with the original lib. Out of curiosity I rebooted my tablet today to test if things would work after that. And they did not, Netflix did not work. So sorry folks, nothing to see here. I had things only temporarily working, sorry about this.
On the bright side 1.4 works with the patched lib. And I really don't use the camcorder.
Running HoneyVillain 1.1 (3.2), using the Libvnomx.so patch with the netflix 1.4 apk from this thread. Netflix works but video recording still force closes.

[DEV/LEAK] Acer Iconia Tab A200

Here are some updates files from the Acer Iconia Tab A200 (Honeycomb 3.2.1), that seems to be a "low-cost" A500.
All files can be found here : http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&cat=38
It's including a new Acer Ring app and lockscreen shortcuts.
It also have a new Acer Iconia Tab bootanimation.
Screenshots :
What it does not have :
-Rear Camera
-Dolby Mobile (or it's not active atm)
-Maybe other things i didn't see.
ROM based on A200 system by fguy (only for test purpose)
New lockscreen looks very nice!
Yep, there's also a shortcut to take screenshot, really usefull, and to open the app drawer. That's a nice idea from Acer.
Yay something new!
But alas, Android 4 is on the horizon. And we all know how Acer loves to update!
does it work with 50x ?

With the screenshot, isn't that not included in Android (unless rooted?) or implemented to use without root - I think ICS is the first one with native screenshot included?

ASUS and some other HC ROMs have had screen-shot built-in for awhile right from the factory (hold app history button down etc.) I don't think you had to be rooted, but I could be mistaken since these were custom ROMs I was using and was always rooted.

Ah okay, my bad, didn't think they had it.
acer did good job!
A200 is 3.2.1,and A500 is only 3.2?
Is this ROM in development?
How is it functioning so far?
It does not have back camera as in the a200 does not have one / and / or this ROM does not have it?
Does anyone have a list of bugs in this ROM?
I would love to test when I get home, want to know if it's worth flashing!
PS Love the lockscreen!
Damn, I get to the Acer logo, and nothing. Just sits there.
Without having checked, I'd guess that most "H/W not working" problems are simply missing drivers (i. e. we'll have to wait for Acer to fix them or reverse-engineer existing ones -- which I'm not going to try as it tends to be one huge pain in the ___). Other than that, I guess this ROM is fairly stable with minor glitches in the UI and framework (most leaks are, I haven't tried this one).

The stuff that doesnt work seems to be because the a200 doesnt have it, ie the a200 has no rear facing camera so this rom has no rear facing camera. In a sense its missing, but for what it is the rom functions fully. I'm actually shocked to see this thread, i didnt know this was posted on XDA and found it elsewhere about a week ago and have been using it as my daily not realizing it was a leaked rom (rookie mistake not checking the thread date for the other forum that had it) and I actually like how smooth it is and feel like its just as stable as the stock a500 rom. Then again, I dont extensively push my tablet to the limit, I do my budget/check book, play around online and occasionally hook up a ps3 controller and play some SNES so maybe someone else should comment on the stability of the rom. Only problem I can find is I hear the latest market is 3.4.4 and this rom seems stuck on 1.1.0 and I cant figure out how to get the market all the other roms had(it has the market I had when I pulled this thing out of the box, not the one that came when I updated).

[ROM][HC3.2][A500/A501]IcedComb 1.0 (Build 22112011) + Hotfix for USB Storage

Decided to get back into the custom ROM scene, and here's my latest work. Please note that this is not a 1:1 copy of VillianROM, I am giving full credit to the original ROM's author. I am making my own spin off the ROM.
Anyway, without futher ado, here we go:
IcedComb Custom ROM featuring Android Honeycomb 3.2
Custom ROM for Acer Iconia Tab A500/A501 based on sources of "VillianROM".
You must use ClockworkMod to install this ROM. Do a Nandroid Backup, then a factory-reset wipe, then flash this ROM via recovery. If you install using some other method, I cannot support you as it's unoffical way of doing it.
Credits
richardtrip - Primary VillianROM Developer. I'm not kanging (copying) his work, I'm just expanding upon his fundations.
folks at XDA for custom ROMs and all that jazz. If you minus the n00bs, you get a lot of people who are gems.
Acer, for the Iconia Tab. It's such an awesome device.
What to expect?
No bull****. All the bloat has been stripped out of the ROM, so it's almost vanilla HoneyComb.
Tweaked to perfection. It's fast, speedy, and you'll experience the difference.
Everything works. Built on the VillianROM base, it's been tested and it works.
Cross-model. Works flawlessly on A501, should work fine on A500.
Does not suffer Market bugs that other ROMs suffer.
Compatibilty List
Note: tested natively on A501. May not work as intended on a A500, but heck, give it a shot.
3G - Yes
WiFi - Yes
BlueTooth - Yes
Camera (Front/Rear) - Yes/Yes
Sound - Yes
GPS - Yes
MicroSD - Yes
USB Storage - Yes
USB 3G Dongle - Not tested.

one more: build.prop editing tool/different rom build would be helpful to those who use the a500, 3g on the a500 wastes tremendous battery.

what do you mean by "IcedComb"? is it themed with ICS?
Great seeing some fresh work for the a500. Will eagerly see what people say.

Thanks plenty for this. Nice to see something new AND clean! I think I'll give it a try after playing with ICS (downloading now )

one more: build.prop editing tool/different rom build would be helpful to those who use the a500, 3g on the a500 wastes tremendous battery.

I'll make a patch for the build.prop. It's only a really quick line edit to disable the 3G-radio-init attempts on A500.

Hey.
Rom very interesting.
No file "Accessories Pack (SocialJogger, Polaris Office, etc.)"-in the middle is the same as in ''Apps Pack Acer (Acer DLNA, etc.)''

What do you mean? The Accessories pack only has SocialJogger and a few other "accessories". The AcerApps only has Acer-supplied apps. I seperated the two from the core ROM because I don't like bloat and some included apps were lame.

Glad you like it. I'm a bit of a minimalist myself, and after weeding out all the bloat with this ROM, it performs a little better than VillianROM, even though I used that mentioned ROM as a base.
After all, we have 1.6Ghz of dual core power, why not use or abuse it?

I mean that in both packages is the same. So what in the first.
In the second no SocialJogger,no Polaris Office, etc ...
I mean an additional parcel on fileserver.
PS: Rom is good.

Ah, now I understand you. My apologies.
Yeah, just confirmed they are a dupe of each other. I have the source on my VPS, I'll reupload it. Sorry about the pickle.
Also, found an issue: USB Storage Mode (as in, using the tablet as a USB drive) doesn't work since I removed Acer Sync. I will make a patch that fixes this issue. However, it will be fixed if you install the Acer Apps addon.

He's probably using HoneyBar. An app that hides the lower notification bar. You can get it from the Market.
that's pretty ****ty, slows down rendering...
Awesome!! Will be testing this ROM ASAP!!!
Glad to see a New ROM in the field!
does this one have HDMI support? Running into alot of ROMs that dont have it, except for Thors ROMs. Kinda useless without one

What roms dont have HDMI support?
Taboonay ROM as well as the original VillianROM this came from. I think any ROM built from Cm7, also. I've had a few older ROMs in the past give me the "720p?" on my tv when I used the micro HDMI. However, I installed this ROM with a Richard kernel which I knew had corrected the VillianROM. It works now and I get a 5300+ on the Antutu bench w/ a 1408 OCing. Smooth ROM. I'll stay with this until an ICS version comes out.
I've already preordered the ASUS Prime (tech whore that I am) and will do a comparison with the Acer when I can.

[ROMS][UG007/Imito MX1/2][RK3066] Post em here!

Hello there! It's me again.
I've noticed a very distinct lack of threads that start with [ROM] in this here section, and I hope to help change that. I recently purchased a UG007 Android-on-a-stick, which I have discovered has a lot of hardware similarities between other devices, thanks particularly to wide prevalence of the RK3600 chipset.
My goal here is twofold. One is to provide a consolidated place for others interested in developing for these devices to find resources. The other is to explore the depth of the similarities between devices, discuss various flashing methods and tools, and overall get in touch with other people who may own these things who have other knowledge and skills that I may not possess.
First off, here are a few downloads for various ROMS I've found across the web. I did not make any of these - I'm just linking to the sources I found.
STOCK UG007 Firmware - STOCK 12/01/2012 ROM, completely unmodified. Good to see the differences between the pre-rooted and OG versions. Original source unknown, my apologies.
FengHuang pre-rooted for UG007 - Pre-rooted, "market fix", "xbmc supported", fixes some wifi negotiation issues. Jellybean 4.1.1. Verified works. Install by placing in root of SD card and inserting into device.
Finless Bob's 1.5 for iMito mx1/2 - VERIFIED WORKING on UG007 as well. Pre-rooted, debloated, higher LCD density, other tweaks. See original thread for full details. Install instructions in OP as well.
And that's all I have for now. I'll do some more digging in a while, see if I can't find more stuff. I found a thread elsewhere that has resources for building kernels for RK3066 - I'll try to post that as well. If you know of more ROMS, please, post them here and I'll add to the OP.
There are earlier releases of finless/Bob's roms, plus factory roms all for the MX 1/2 so for both devices. Note finless roms all start At v1.4
Good post.
I have my new UG007 and I was looking for some ROMS.
I have the imito mx1 with finless 1.5. Just amazing especially with onlive apk from playstore with xbox 360 controller. It would be awesome to put a ROM in a zip for cwm. This also plays plays vice city solid with highest settings, where my galaxy note can't.

The initial flash can't be done via CWM due to the need to repartition.
Anybody tried this firmware???

Feedback please!!!!
I'll download and diff it when I get home...

I have my mx2 rooted and go the system tuner app. When I check the CPU settings it won't let me run above 1.2ghz anyone know how I can get it to run at the advertised 1.6 or even better over clock?

@aleks9. Is the ug007 firmware you posted compatible with the mx1?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
@thunder22. Don´t know. I only have the ug007.
I'm waiting for the test by digitalhigh.
Just checked out geekbuying blog and the ug007 firmware posted with 1080p is the mx1 firmware.
Btw lenaroxs xda i9000 original forum provides lazerdroid mpengine 9. Works great as a lag killer engine. Great with vice city.
Busted my ug007
installed FengHuang, everything was fine....
was using my ug007 with my 720p plasma TV and tried to modify DPI using "LCD Density Modder"
something went wrong and now it doesnt go further than the twirls animation...
anyone knows how to factory reset without booting? maybe boot from SD card or start recovery mode?
somehow?
THANKS!

Connect up to a PC, start ADB, and fix the permissions on build.prop.
I know because I have done this twice :-/
The following is from memory! But it should give you the general idea of what needs to be done.
$adb remount
$adb root
$adb shell
(device shell)
#cd /system
#chmod 755 build.prop

update.zip for UG007
I asked ugoos for a firmware update to resolve changing ip address each time i reboot on my UG007 and received an email this morning containing an update.zip anyone used it and is it better than my current Build number RK30_ANDROID4.1.1-SDK-v1.00.1015 rk30sdk-eng 4.1.1 JRO03H eng.ant.20121108.175527 test-keys, also if i install the firmware they sent me can i revert back to the one im using if i dont like it? i extracted the update file and opened the build prop in notepad and this is what it says if it helps to identify it i havent got a clue tbh lol

Hi all, I successfully installed Finleys 1.5 in my UG007, everything works fine except the issues because I decided to flash this ROM
I explain better...I bought the UG007 for film playback purpose only, I attached It in my bedroom's TV and connected with wi-fi using SAMBA to my Western Digital NAS. With my SGS3 and my Asus Trannsformer Prima the playback in wi-fi works fine in this way using BS Player PRO and DICE Player.
When I bought UG007, with stock firmware, I had these issues:
- DICE Player: never started, opening It I receive immediately a message "Impossible to reproduce the file"...but which file?!? I started DICE player 20 milliseconds ago!!!
- With BS Player, after setting network buffer, HW decoding mode and other tweaks I have behaviours as...Start the film but I can hear only the audio, black screen...or I hear the audio and the image is like old vectorial Commodore 64 games ...or It not start.
After installing imito Finleys 1.5 rom the behaviors are the same, but the system is much better than stock firmware.
What do you think about this???
All the flashing tools for this are for windows? Are there any instructions on what has to take place to flash via adb?
I'd like to try this on mac.

Use MX Player. I heard from people with Android sticks that it is the best player.
