Hey All, I'm running deodexed JVB with a few mods, and the only thing I'm missing is the AOSP Music from GB. Would anyone happen to have this kicking around in a cwm zip or apk?
Nevermind, I got it. Thanks
Why do you want AOSP MUsic player if it is much worse than stock Samsung player? I don't see any benefit.
what do you think about music 3.0?
There are quite a few Iconia ROM's floating about, which all seem quite similar from the eyes of a newbie. I thought I'd start up a general discussion thread about the perceived merits of why you are using a particular ROM.
I've had my Iconia for a few weeks - I upgraded to 3.1, played with it for a few days, then went Minimalist 3.2.1 and have been using it ever since. It's based on the Xoom ROM
My thoughts:
* Generally feels quite snappy - I didn't notice a massive switch between the OTA 3.1 and this however
* 3.2 means there's the "zoom" button which is nice if I ever need it
* The stock Honeycomb clock is there which I prefer to Acer's Simi clone
* I have the occasional application crash - generally without a warning, I get plopped back to the desktop. This has happened across quite a few apps, mostly within the browser, and I lose all my tabs which is a bit irritating. Don't know if this the ROM or Honeycomb in general.
* Love the dropping of all the custom apps which are generally useless to me.
* Would like some customisation options since it looks and feels very vanilla but don't know if there's a lot in that way on the Iconia yet.
So what are you using? What do you like and why?
also a minimalist 3.2.1 user here. I've added a few things to my aresonal such as thumb board, ADW EX (as a launcher replacement) and a few tweaks like setcpu. Great tablet after removing the crap... but at least it isn't as bad as my phone started out.
my $0.02 USD
Stock Acer a500 rom - running 3.1 with richardtrip's custom kernel, rooted, crap Acer bloatware disabled, CPU set to 1.4 ghz via set CPU app and I am blown away. More responsive then most desktops/laptops I have seen.
I'm using taboonay 1.1. It is based off iconia stock rom 3.1. So far it is fast and smooth compared to stock. Dev removed most of the bloat. The only problem I have with it is the random fc I get in market when I check "my apps". I like running custom stock Roms because I like knowing all the features on my tablet works.

I'm liking LightSpeed,its definitely smooth running and i'm not having any video issues like i did in other roms i tried.It's fast without a OC kernel and all the bloatware was removed from the beginning.I'm able to install the honeyvillain game addon.Just an all around good rom.
I just switched to the Taboonay 1.1 with Richard's kernel from Virtuous Galaxy and I am very happy that I did. Altought VG is quite fast and has the touchwix UI there were problems with the youtube app (unable to seek) and also the sound was not Dolby. So far I am very happy with Taboonay 1.1.
I use the stock 3.1 a500 rom different kernel, btw its fun modding stock and adding the mods/tweaks that you like its also a great learning experience

I'm running LightSpeed as well; my only gripe is that for some reason on this ROM I'm not able to install Facebook for Android. It won't even show in the Market!
My other main gripe about tablets revolves around the external SD card not being more intuitive; I can't see to find any settings to tell apps like Google Music to use the SD card for storage instead of the internal memory.
the best rom and i have tried theem all is wihout a doubt the thor galaxy rom with thor kker.nel 1.15. Itt is fast, support 3g modem and the browser is without ripping effect..... I hate that on other rom...dont forget to use the adw launcher ex...

People on here do not talk about that often but it is important to those of us music lovers. I always thought Dolby was mostly just marketing BS but there is a dramatic difference in the sound.
Taboonay 1.1 with Thor's kernel works great for me and since it is built on the stock rom it includes dolby.
I tried Virtuous Picasso and Virtuous Galaxy. Both were fast and I liked some of the apps that came with the Galaxy. However, they were both a little buggy. I had to reboot the Iconia a couple of times during the short period that I tested them.
I have been using Taboonay 1.1 for almost a month now. I don't remember having to reboot the device or anything fcing on me. My only complain (if you can call that), is the app selection that comes with the ROM. I don't see going to any other ROM anytime soon.
Currently using Honeycomb 3.2 stock from with Asus Netflix patch best benefit Dolby digital small loss 1.5 ghz overclocking. Also running minimalist 3.2 with Asus Netflix patch best feature overclocking and UI and video playback much smoother loss Dolby digital
Acer A500 3.2 AsusNetflix patch FTW
Obviously ICS has a few issues *cough* which will hopefully be fixed by an OTA any day.
Remembering that previous versions were hardly perfect which is your favorite version for your Transformer.
Custom 4.0 roms. EOS is close to rock solid for me. Theres no way I can go back to hc after getting used to ics
after test 10 ics for me sure no mather what rom. Kernel is the most important thing.
defo i.c.s.......still in its infancy and look at the range of roms.
it can only get better and better
Easily Megatron CM9 with Test kernel. The Kernel makes everything smooth as hell (And keeps issues to a minimum), while the ROM adds the dock support I want, with the latest android version to boot!
I am running CM10 JellyBean 4.1.2 Unofficial acer a500 Build 2.
I have a few games which don't seem to work:
Plants vs Zombies (which worked back when I was running ICS.
Machinarium (which Google Play says is compatible with the Acer Iconia A500).
Both games just go to a black screen for a second or so and then back to the home screen or app list.
Any ideas? Between this and the disappearing home screen icons, I'm strongly considering going back to ICS.
I am using EOS4 #B90 and it run really smooth...I have KAT 1.20 running for great audio output the best I have had on a custom rom so far. EOS default kernel Video play back is smooth also with default player and Dice player loving this also. All game that I tested works great also...I can also purchase gameloft and EA Game that were not compatible before :laugh::laugh:...My question is on some 4.1 roms (i.e. the Raymanfx 4.1 and liquid smooth) the track info was sent to my car radio display...but there was no audio.....on the EOS3 or EOS4 the audio is sent but no track info...Timduru is there any way to get this implemented into the EOS4 rom if possible? Looking forward to the next update
