Thanks to:
Crsdr37 - for beta testing

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

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..

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.

[Q] Flexreaper rf1.rv2 Video Error MLB App

App: MLB At Bat Lite 2012
I love this Rom but the one app I use all the time now gives me a Video error message when I attempt to stream games saying "Error Could not play video". I flash back to the CM9 ICS Rom and it plays fine. I have read other posts to change build.prop settings but I don't think that is the issue here. The GPS fix is amazing and am looking forward to this. Does anyone have any ideas why this video feature will not work right now?
I have the v4 3.14-UNl bootloader installed now and have performed clean installs of the Rom.

I updated , you can flash a patch and there is also a streaming app included in the patch but also in the rom , Toshiba mediaplayer is a nice streaming app

It's not an error with the rom. That app is not authorized for streaming on the A500 ICS build yet. That is why it won't work on Flexreaper. Same as Hulu +. The app was authorized for the A500 HC but not ICS. Your CM9 has a different build.prop and is probably reporting a different device to the app. If you want to use MLB you will have to modify your build.prop to trick the app so it thinks you are on an authorized device.

I've looked at both "About" summary stats and they both say exactly the same thing reagrding device Manufacturer and Model (Acer, A500) The only thing different is the OS version. CM9 reports 4.04 and Flexreaper reports 4.03 on the At Bat App. I have edited build.prop but it doesn't work or there may be another setting I need to edit I am not aware of to make it work. I edited Model, Brand, Name and Device.
I have flashed latest Flexreaper and same thing regarding video error including doing a clean wipe.
I appreciate the feedback.

May I ask why that app, there are 2 apps in the rom that allow streaming and they work.

That is the app that the MLB uses for subscriptions to view games. I would he happy to assist you looking into this if you can.

[RK3188/3066/2918] Custom Firmware Tool for Windows

Longtime lurker. But its time to contribute! I recently bought a TimingPower RK3188 and searched high and low for these tools. After endless hours of searching and translating Chinese and Japanese I brought this little package together to build your own CFW. This probably isn't for complete newbies but I made it as simple as possible. I can confirm it works on my TimingPower RK3188 using Rockchip Batch Tool as well as copying update.img to SD. Anyway, enjoy!
This is what it does:
Extract update.img as well as system.img
Pre-root your firmware
Open system folder to edit your rom
Repack update.img
I cant post links so previews are a no no I guess. Let me know how it works. If this is the wrong section I apologize.

Thanks !!
Would like to bring to your attention (as you seem the only Chef so far) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437990
Hope you can help contribute to the thread, and possibly have the first full solution, root, CWM, CFW, custom ROM

Thanks! I was looking for a material Quick installation!

Okay Windows 8 users should try this. RAR attached

Hi, I also bought a TimingPower RK3188 and was wondering where can I find Roms for it? Like a Finless Rom that might work for it? Anyone? Thanks!

uhhh not sure what to say. i do it in my very rare spare time. i can take requests. i made my personal rom as small as possible. basically all i kept was a browser, google play and a media player. oh and flash player. everything else i just installed from google play

I bought 2 of these

I am quite happy with them. However, some notes are in order. I received them with firmware 20130715 installed, and that does not support 1080p. The timingpower.com website offers 2 updated images for it, one 20131101, the other 20131104. The 20131101 image has some improvements over the 20130715 version, but still offers only 720p, but the 20131104 version does offer 1080p. I updated both units to the 1104 version, and it went smoothly, but it can be a bit unstable at times. The screen and sound cut out at random intervals, but I got used to that, even thought it is quite annoying. Overall the picture is amazing (i use it on a 65" flat screen). Speed is acceptable, not a gaming computer, but fast enough. Takes a bit to get used to using it, keep wanting to right-click stuff for options, and get dumped back a screen.
Suggest that you get a USB 2 hub (more ports are better). I connected a USB keyboard, USB mouse and USB camera (all cheap, nothing fancy), and they all worked fine. However, the tiny Bluetooth keyboard (IS11-BT05) that I got, doesn't seem to work. It pairs up just fine, and shows as recognized, but after that, nothing.
One caution note: if you do flash your device, make sure that you use a newer computer, with USB 2.0 , really old PC's with USB 1.1 will not work.
Making your own version of the ROM shouldn't be too difficult. Plenty of advise here, and there are even some tools available on the TimingPower site. I'm in the middle of customizing mine, and I have not found it particularly difficult. I mainly want to scrap some of the basic stuff, and make it more sleek (to my tastes). I am also considering incorporating a dual-boot option, for Android <-> Linus (not sure of what flavor yet).
BTW, I have an English translated version of the Chinese RKBatchTool Manual, should anyone need it.

thanks!

Slash TV for asus tinkerboard, Android 7.1.2 rooted with play store

Today I'm sharing Slash TV, created by myself. The same developer as retro pie on the tinkerboard. This is set up to have more of an android TV feel to it, Sega Saturn is working, Dreamcast, psp, all the earlier emulators, Netflix, Kodi, Plex, and much more. This is the official public release. It is sized at 16 gb. If you use a larger SD you can use gparted to get the space back, or factory reset. If you use factory reset once it reboots use play store to get chrome, then get magisk 5.9.1 to restore root. There is no custom recovery yet. Just root. Also magisk had to be manually installed so don't update it. Other then that, enjoy and have fun.

Android Nougat was giving me some major display issues when dealing with higher end TVs though, so I switched to Marshmallow.

Hello, thank you for the ROM I am however having a buggy issue once i install on my tinker board s. It deletes what ever i type in browser, closes pages of games or what ever I open, it backspace or cancels my selections. I checked my controls and those are not the problem. It seems to be withing this android ROM. I do not know how to even begin to find the cause. On my old Rom it does not do this.. I do not have the know how to update my old ROM that's why I am looking for built tweaked Roms. RC 3288c

i'm using this OS now, but my i can't use my speaker thru it's 3.5mm jack.. anyway thanks to this OS. I'm using bluetooth speaker as an alternative..

No, you just flash the image to SD using win32diskimager or etcher.

do you have any mirror for 3.2

@godkingofcanada Thank you for your ROM. My Tinkerboard has finally found it's place as a TV STB and it's role as a Nextcloud server has been given to a 64-bit ARM, which would require less maintenance.
