[Q] What are the real advantages of updating to 1.2 rooted from 1.1 rooted?

So I'm pretty happy with my NC with 1.1 rooted. It seems like there are still some issues with 1.2 rooted, particularly with the marketplace. I know 1.2 enables the B&N Marketplace, but I don't need that since I have the Android Market installed. Also, 1.2 has Flash, but I honestly don't use flash all that much. In that case, what other advantages does 1.2 offer? Is it faster/more stable? Is the interface better?
Also, has anyone gotten 1.2 to be able to detect ad-hoc wifi networks? For me, being able to use my mobile phone hotspot is a must-have.
Thanks

1.2 is faster thanks to the JIT compiler of Froyo
You get flash, which for me is one of the top reasons to go android over ipad!!!!
Adhoc works for me
Right now only thing not working well on nootered NC ids market is working funky

I'm in the same boat. I'm on 1.1 nootered, and I actually like it fine. I don't see the real need to update to 1.2. Flash would be a plus, but I just keep an image of Froyo on another uSD card for when I need flash. I like 2.1 because the battery life is awesome, and I remember that moving to Android 2.2 from 2.1 reduced my phone's battery life a bit. For a device that I'd like to have last as long as possible, any hit to battery life for minor upgrades is not acceptable.
Has anyone done testing to see if NC 1.2 reduced battery life any appreciable amount?

Other than Flash, the way it stands right now, I don't see a whole lot of reasons to go 1.2. If you're getting by without flash right now, you obviously must not need it all that bad, so if I were you I would not use that in my determination to move to 1.2.
I recently went to rooted 1.2 from rooted 1.01 and I'm not all that happy about it. My video playback has suffered...not only do the videos not work as well, I'd say the quality of those videos actually looks worse too. Not sure why/how, but it does. I enjoyed putting a movie on my Nook when I was traveling or just tinkering with it. As mentioned above, the Market is very funky right now....pretty annoying. Apps like Redbox aren't functioning properly for me either. On rooted 1.01, it picked up my location based on WiFi....for some reason, that's not working on rooted 1.2. I'm sure it'll all get ironed out, but as of right now, I wish I had stayed on where I was.
I would go to CM7 except for my kid loves the read to me books which I can't use on CM7.

The best advantage of updating to 1.2 is the ability to post questions in the "questions and answers" thread instead of development area.

Movie watching while traveling, along with reading Nook books, are the main uses my NC sees. I guess I'll stick to 1.1 since it seems 1.2 doesn't really add anything for me.

Look into dual booting, that might provide the best of both worlds

CM7 is slow as molasses re. Market downloads, force closes etc for me running on my current uSD card. I have a Transcend Class 6 on order so hopefully it will work better. Staying with stock 1.1 right now - have flash on my phone when I need it and the 1.2 Froyo Market issues haven't been ironed out yet.

If it's no better with your new card (hopefully it is), running cm7 off emmc is pretty dang fast in my opinion. My NC is about as fast as my stock Fascinate was before i OC'd that.

Out of curiosity, which uSD card (brand, size, class) are you using to run CM7?
New uSD should arrive today, but I won't be able to test it until tomorrow night. Hopefully it's just the POS Partriot Class 10 (my @$$ ) that's the culprit. Could be a bad flash too...
I have a Samsung Epic 4G and if NC with CM7 off uSD runs anywhere close to stock Sammy I would be ecstatic.

Best rom for my iconia

Currently on the flashable .22 3.1. What in your opinion is the best rom for this device.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

I just ordered this tab myself and I'm interested in opinions on the ROMs available. Are there many developers at this point?

so far now...
- Galaxy
- Picasso
- Xoom (3.2)
from the virtuous team
with kernel UNITY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honeyvillain (Stock Acer improved )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taboonay (Stock Acer improved )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the best??? hummm should better try them before.

Ya I couldn't say which one is best either but I do love the functions on Virtuous Galaxy. Personally I'm going to wait a few more months or a year before I play with any ROM's -
Unless of course that Galaxy ROM gets perfected. I'm twitching for it.

I myself tried both Virtuous Galaxy and Virtuous Xoom and I have to say I really like the Xoom one better. It's smoother, and I experienced odd input lag on the Galaxy one. Both are however several notches better than the HC 3.0 by Acer!

just messin...
Just now messing with from mods on my iconia. Do the zoom or galaxy roms support the USB drive?

That's a bummer. Nothing about the Xoom version interests me.
Here's hoping the Galaxy version gets better *crosses fingers*

running stock 3.1
CWM installed and ready to go - but have not flashed any custom roms, as the system running stock 3.1 works great for my purposes. If this changes I will consider going the custom ROM route

Im using the xoom and usb is working I use the NTFS mount program and I am still able to sync up my 500 gig WD trough USB.
No problem with this rom for me. Wireless is working great wireless teather to my droid inc phone and everything else working so far. Just put this rom on today about 6 hours ago.

You say that now, but flashing is addictive. Once you realize what else your device is capable of, you will continue to modify it to fit your needs. My Galaxy Tab is far more than it was when I purchased it. I will continue to use it due to its voice capabilities.

I would say...
I tested every rom on XDA for A500
Xoom : no improvement, actually I felt like a downgrade rather than something else...not because a bad rom but maybe just because not fit to my need.
Galaxy: I love the UI, but.... feel like an overall slugggginess... the widget are maybe too much... I didn't checked the latest latest version so maybe it's improved... (the 5Mpx was not yet fixed...)
Picasso: Dunno... didn't see like a better things
Taboonay: this rom satisfied all my needs but lately maybe because of kernel... felt like some problem happening
ALL those rom have a common point I do not like it's the "automatic" 3G support... well I didn't buy my tablet to get 3G on it from a third part things or modified things... I just tether with my phone and it's really enough.
latelly I restocked my tabletS (both of them) one run the .40 and the other .38 well I am satisfied
maybe later I will return on custom rom
I rooted my tablet, that is at this moment fit my needs.

it all comes to your own personal preferences. I would encourage you to just try out a few and see what you like best. The virtuous team does do a very nice job with their roms though. I'm currently using virtuous zoom 3.2 but I do like the virtuous galaxy too but it needs a little work.

Honeyvillain (Stock Acer improved )
is best for me, more over, richardtrip is my favorite dev. since HTC Desire appeared.
I have a 3.1 that works and has least no. of FCs and odd things, comparing to stock rom by acer

My tab has a problem that it shut itself when in sleep mode , i would say 50% chance.
Tried most of the roms and no rom solve it 100%.
Now, Im with xoom3.2 ,,, so far so good (but just 3 hours ago)
Any idea???? Is it hardware or soft ware problem????

Of the ones I've tried:
Honeyvillan: was the best for me for a while - everything worked and was stable.
Virtuous_galaxy: I like the UI extensions, but external SD card could not be accessed via file manager. Keyboard didn't work, and I believe video camera didn't work well. Also exchange didn't work.
Virtuous Xoom: appears to be the best now. The things that need to work for me are:
cifs
exchange email
sd card access
video camera
gps
All these above things work. I did see one hard crash/reboot so far but seems basically stable. Its also overclockable, which Honeyvillan didn't seem to be.
The basic reason I like the Virtuous Xoom best is because HC 3.2 has pretty much fixed the orientation lag issue, where the UI wouldn't be as responsive if the tab is not in default orientation. I velcro it upside down on the dash in my car (for certain reasons).
The USB keyboard does not work, but I see there are instructions in the forum for getting that going. I actually don't need it very often anymore, thanks to the swiftkey X keyboard.

[Q] Best Rom and Kernal For Transformer

Ok so I know this is somewhat personal preference but I just got a transformer today and it is now rooted with recovery what is everybody's opinion on the best rom and kernal.
Thanks

It's kernel not kernal. Use revolver 0.2 with clemsyns kernel or the kernel that comes with the rom. Lookout for prime 1.6 when it comes out.

+1 for PRIME! ROM, lots of people use it so if you get problems with it you should get answers relatively quickly.

Revolver looks great but I'm waiting for the next version. Supposedly the volume is unbalanced and.... there was something else that made me decide to wait. They both were minor issues that should be included in the next update.
Also Prime 1.6 will be good.
I get SoD using Prime. Not so much while in standby but when coping from my internal to SD memory, which I do often. It locks up every time. Running his v2 kernel which helps it from getting the SoD over night.
LG G2x - CM7.1 RC1 2.3.4
www.CincyAdmins.com
www.MiiWiiChat.com

Prime v1.5, I found the most stable. however certain apps (for me atleast) won't show up in the Marketplace. Not sure what the issue is, maybe something in build.props file.
However, using Clemsyn's OC Kernel is a pretty good combo with Prime v1.5.
I didn't have luck with Clemsyn's ROM due to Overclock issues, my Tegra 2 can't run at 1504 mhz. So it would get stuck in an infinite boot loop
But there is another rom I want to test, Revolver which is built off of Clemsyn's ROM so that might be a good one to test.
As for different kernel, the only one I have tried is Clemsyn's.

Clemsyn @ 1.4 very smooth no probs. rom, not sure i just used stock, rooted, inst titanium bkup, removed crap bloatware. all done its very good with high speed, LOOOOOOOOOOOONG battery almost 18hrs (with dock) now with videos ... still going I dont know how other roms are, but im more than happy with this one.

I have rooted every phone I ever had to gain additional features or functionality. But, I have not felt the need to do so on my TF. What functionality are people gaining from rooting and/or running alternative ROMs?

I use the netformer 1.5 kernel with prime 1.5 rom. Super stable for me.
Optional things I did:
I use the thrive boot animation, pcb theme (very sharp looking), and revert back to transformer launcher buttons as I don't like the Xoom ones very much. I also changed the system font to ubuntu. If you search XDA for this stuff you should find it quickly.
Good luck!

Same as you would on any other Android device . It depends on what you use your tablet for I guess. Perhaps there are some 'additional features' you feel the need to use on a phone but not on a tablet?

IMHO - Overclocking kernels help me out particularly when watching videos. Setting governors via apps like Setcpu help a lot with conserving battery life. Prime makes the transformer buttery smooth and eliminates some fluff that can bog down the system - plus some extra goodies like cifs, terminal, and spare parts. Additionally, you are able to create backups and use apps like titanium root.
Don't get me started on the customization portion of why rooting this device is crucial. Too many neat things you can do with a little bit of of research to talk about.
Hope this helped!

Best custom rom to go with?

I will be getting my tablet tomorrow as soon as Fed Ex gets here , what I am wondering is which custom rom available for the a500 is the best one to go with? Personally I am a heavy wifi user, and will be using my tablet a lot for browsing, social, RDP, advanced experimenting, etc. I want to make sure I choose the best rom for that is fairly stable and will not have issues with the above mentioned things.
I am no stranger to roms, I have done many many phones and devices from WebOS devices to hacking some WinCE GPS units, so I am not afraid of a rom being slightly more technical to use.

I'm using honeyvillain 3.1. Very fast and stable. I'm also using opera web browser instead stock one because i think is more powerful and useful. With virtousxoom i cannot connect any usb hd. I've tried virtous picasso. It was good but sometimes iconia doesn't wake up from standby. I need to force reboot my tablet using reset button.

Honeyvillain was one of the ones I have been considering, any quirks you find with it? Anything that should be done to it in your opinion once installed?

Also one of the reasons I am not just going with honeyvillian is no longer being supported... So I am not sure because I want to make sure whatever rom I go with will be supported .

Galaxy v1.0.5 very stable pretty fast,can see SD card,screen shoot button,good battery drain with airplane mode on and wifi.Try them all then you have the feel for each one just like most of us on here did.

I think I've tried just about every ROM on the boards , and while much of it is personal preference, ie: eyecandy and video with Virtuous Galaxy , good all around ROM Virtuous Picasso, and HoneyVillian, Virtuous Xoom which is a good solid ROM with no great battery drain, and iirc deejay has straightened out the USB storage issue. But my all time favorite so far is Virtuous Thrive, only out in it's second iteration, it's already the most stable ROM I've personally used. Like I said though, a lot of it is just personal preference.

Yeah I am sure I will probably end up trying them all out anyway. I just looked at my tracking, it's only 300 miles away now!

Yeah I seriously thought about going to the local target, but after local sales tax it would of been almost $440 out the door, and then $50 of that savings I would of made would be limited to target. I got one on ebay for $395 + Fedex 2 Day shipping, not too bad. With the roughly $45 I saved in real cash I am weighting out the current case options.
I am considering getting the one I think I saw you got, could be wrong though. On ebay they have those $20 ones that ship out of hong kong with a USB Keyboard, though on amazon and a few other e-retailers you can get them shipped from state side for roughly $30. I figured I could hold off on the case for a little bit and give the after market some time to get some accessories out and let some of the prices drop.
I really love the idea of the case with the keyboard, I do a lot of programming and typing based stuff so for me having a keyboard would be ideal, though I am not a fan of those KB cases in the fact that they are not designed very well, any tablet fitted into one can slip right out if tipped (nothing stopping it from sliding upward), though I imagine I could easily engineer a fix for that , though I also want to find a nice sling bag or backpack for traveling about, it's a tad bit too big for your pocket.
One of the first projects I want to work on is getting ubuntu or backtrack running, I've seen installers on the market and from what I understand they seem to work fairly well, I really hope too that someone manages to port WebOS to the a500, I imagine it would be quite possible. Maybe just a bit of a hassle with some drivers.

Have not tried the thrive yet - i just always end up back at the galaxy, hard on the juice a lot of needless apps seem to run in the background (mdj!) but it just is so smooth no browser screen ripping and its the fastest so far according to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175600
MJ-12

Just got my device 30 min ago, as soon as I connected to the wifi on the initial setup it asked me to download the new 3.1 update , which it is currently installing. Then I will do a backup and try the thrive rom.

Got my device flashed to Thrive, sofar it's pretty nice, want to try to find the games that came with it NFS and the other one... I tried the XDA app but when I tried to click my profile in it it crashed

I recommand honeyvillian its the most stable from ever I hate the galaxy I do no how its fast as they say when I install it its so slow and the keyboard layout is really ugly... anyway its just me I guess... I love the honey villian

Yeah I tried the thrive all day, and I found it to be not that stable. A lot of times the gallery would hang, trying to use other players for video would all hang, and an annoying bug with hitting the power button and the device going off, and then back on. I am downloading honeyvillian now.

hi ..... has nobody here tried taboonay with thor kernel... opps i mean with the kernel from he who shall not be named... fast, responsive, great battery life, etc, etc, etc,

Here's my personal take.
Each ROM has it's strengths and weaknesses. Luckily, all of the following support 5MP camera and 2MP front-facing camera, so that's not an issue.
Note that the SD card slot will mount differently in each of the following ROMs.
Virtuous Picasso - Acer-based HC3.1, picasso-hc-kernel. Very close to stock, assume everything will work the way it's supposed to. Major downside (IMHO) -- WP7 fonts. Install Fontchanger and revert back to stock.
Virtuous Galaxy - Galaxy Tab base HC3.1, picasso-hc-kernel. Really snappy, very nice overall. Galaxy UI reminds me of Windows 95; I'm not a fan. Overall very pleasant to use.
Virtuous Xoom - Motorola base, HC3.2, picasso-hc-kernel. It's HC3.2, so it's brag-worthy. Many peripherals you'd assume would work just don't (from what I've read). Can't save directly to secondary SD in camera. Also, some issues with mounting USB (use a 3rd party mounting app from Market).
Virtuous Thrive - No idea.
Honeyvillain - No idea.
Taboonay - Vache is awesome. Basically a clean Acer ROM. Never used it due to since-resolved kernel issues.
My personal ethic is "don't use a ROM that uses a kernel where the source is not available". As Vache says, "using kernel without sources is warez". Basically, if a ROM includes a kernel where the author won't release sources (or patches), it's not even worth messing with.
I also don't like when a ROM author sets the default clock to 1.2GHz. Default OC assumes a lot of things (like the ambient temperature of the environment of the user) -- which is "not cool" (pun intended).
If you want just "a good experience" -- root your A500, install SetCPU (google for a recent apk) and set the scheduler to Interactive, 1000MHz. If you're just hurting for 3.1 (from what I understand 3.1 for A500 is end of July), there's a stock 3.1 updater from Vache available.
I would recommend IconiaRoot (google it) and Acer Recovery installer (from Market). If you have the means, buy a license for Titanium Backup -- it will save you a ton of time switching between ROMs.
MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS MAKE A FULL BACKUP USING CLOCKWORKMOD.
What do I use? Virtuous Xoom.
Why? It's HC3.2 and it works for me. I don't use external peripherals and don't plan to.
tl;dr -- make backups. experiment. there is no "best"/silver-bullet for everyone. don't mess with ROMs that use no-source kernels.

I am trying out the xoom rom now, so far it is my favorite one that I have tried.

for me is honey villian 1.4 with thor kernel. All usb devices , 3g working great.
Fast , smooth stable.
Tried some Virtuous roms, but there are too many of them and all have too many bugs for me.

Does your 3G connection persist when screen turns off ??
Because mine doesnt, and i have to rr ril-daemon with the RilRestarter apk to get connected again. This does not happen with galaxy ROM, 3G remains connected when screen turns off.
Beside this issue i agree that honey Villain is the most reliable ROM atm.

no problem with screen off, i'm using latest thor kernel.

[Q] Which ROM are you using and why?

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

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
