You also need to wait. Before you know it we are going to have roms flowing out our ears. I am working as hard as I can to learn how to make kickass roms so hopefully I can release something good soon

Actually, after doing all the above, I was kinda looking for other things to do I am loving the tethering though. Thought there would be a place for apps that are not in the market.

im having the same problem. i dont know what to do with my phone while waiting for everyne makes awesome custom roms. im just waiting to figure out how to get it fully optimized with everything thats already ready for it

Get a development environment setup and write some apps! Download the GSM Kernel and learn how to compile and tune it (use Teknologic's changelog as a guide perhaps) and prepare for the eventual release of the CDMA Kernel (or even the 2.0 Kernel...what? I can dream!)! It's fun to prepare for such things and test!

Thanks Much!

Chuckhriczko, please keep up your 'good' work!
I used your instructions for rooting my hero, a little confusing but helped me to better understand linux procedures.
jjjjayd13,

Lets try to get Google maps with nav on the hero. They got it working in the Dream forum with some directions. Let me get my backup ready......

Where can i find more themes? I did the clear one and its ok, but not much to it. Also what is so special about modaco rom other than u can save apps to sd

go try out droid explorer and desktop sms...you can get desktop sms stand alone, or it comes as part of droid explorer...both took about 5 seconds to get working and work perfectly.
This is the thread I started about it

if you don't have the market, you probably forgot to/need to re-flash the google apps zip.
aside from that...you should be hanging out here -> Evo Forum
Start by looking at the [noob guide] and these FAQs.
Any other problems/questions search around in the Evo Q&A or General sub-topics and you should find what you need

What now? you should ..idk same with me. Maybe just hope for android to come out with a youtube app that works. (it can't be easy to make one tho)

I have the BlueAnt S4 and it cannot voice dial, says it needs Andriod 2.2 . Looks like the Hero will not get that from Sprint/Google, so will a rooted phone with 2.2 be able to make blutooth voice dial ? Thanks, Ted O.

Yeah a rooted 2.2 should work just fine with ur headset. I don't see why your headset isn't working fine now to be honest.
sent from my hero aosp2.2 cause aospcm7 2.3 was not as fast or stable for me.

BlueAnt states that, for the S4, andriod 2.2 is required to do voice dialing.

[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 ?

Not as it is, but by changing the boot.img from an A500 it's working/booting well.

thx . it is possible to extract and flash lockscreen only ? what apk is for it

It's not an apk, it's included in the framework and it's a pain to port it to another ROM.

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.
Screenshots
Note: twicca not included.
Downloads

IcedComb Addons: Acer Apps Pack (Acer DLNA, etc), Accessories Pack (SocialJogger, Polaris Office, etc)
EDIT: Updated Accessories Pack url to the correct file, old link resulted in downloading a renamed duplicate of the Acer Apps pack. Dunno how that happened.
Hotfixes
Flash these using ClockworkMod.

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.

THanks.....

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

A200

I had posted in the a100 forum and was referred here.
My wife just got the 32 gig a200 and I was wondering about different apps like Beats Audio, Swype etc..
Right now it is all stock but wondering what the steps would be to root and add a new ROM to it..
Thank you for your time..

hbwelch's tool will root, flash recovery and kernel, and much more.

Thanks for your response..
I will look into it. she actually updated it today. so I dont know if I need to wiat for a new root. or if the update was minimal .. and I should go ahead an do it..

The latest update was June 22/23-abouts, and the tool still works on that update, so you should be fine. The tool is practically noob-proof (not calling you a noob, though), and very simple to follow.

I installed Swype beta using the Swype installer. Works perfectly. No hacking required, just need to sign up with swype for thier beta testing.

[ROM][ICS][P7310]P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL clean port v2[2012-08-16]

This is a clean port of the US P7510 firmware that was released very recently.
For screenshot, go here: http://blog.apedroid.com/2012/08/official-ics-from-p7510-running-on-p7310.html
Downloads
Version 2: https://hotfile.com/dl/167367272/873eb0f/P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL_for_P7310_v2.zip.html
Version 1: https://hotfile.com/dl/167139991/1ccdcd2/P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL_for_P7310.zip.html
Changelog
Version 2 - Fixed low power mode charging animation. Changed all P7510 to P7310 in build.prop except fingerprint. Rooted out-of-the-box.
Version 1 - First release. The only things changed is kernel, kernel modules and one line added build.prop (to fix screen rotation).
Instructions
- Flash with Clockwork recovery (I use 6.0.0.8 from the CM9 thread but most versions should work).
- Remember to wipe!
- For me the first boot is with completely black screen but I can hear the boot sound. After a while it reboots and this time the screen is on and the bootanimation can be seen. No idea if it will do the same on all devices. Do not panic, just wait it and it should reboot (at least it does for me).
- Compass does not work correctly, likely due to the different screen rotation on our device but it never worked in official 3.2 anyway so I guess we're used to it not working.
- HDMI is 90 degrees rotated.
Everything done at your own risk, as usual...

Thanks you Very much!

I used the ICS kernel source (GT-P7510_ICS_Opensource_Update2.zip) from Samsung and compiled it using the supplied samsung_p5wifi_defconfig without doing any changes. Seems like all the p5/p5wifi bits are in place in the p4/p4wifi kernel source.
I've tried to keep it as clean as possible. I'm sure others will root, deodex and tweak it later.
I might do one for the P7300 using the italian P7500 firmware if time allows.

Very grateful for all your work and knowledge sharing for the gt8.9 7300/10.
Might be weeks for official Samsung ics, so this will be very popular, I predict
Stupid question: the screen shot indicates that device id is p7510. Would that confuse some apps, market, or CWM recovery, or flashable zips ?
