Using Dexter's Primee P9-5a based on the transformer, do you think this is better?

I don't know yet, it passed only 1 hour till i've installed it
but
this is Acer 3.2 original firmware, and Dexter's one is a port from Transformer. I assume that native firmware will always be better than ported one

both A500 and A501
Has anyone given a try on 3 USB on this ROM? Is it working? Thanks in advance
Thanks a lot, fguy!
I installed the ROM on my 501, works without problems also the 3g works. Only the asus mail widget will not work but the weather widget from asus does work.
Thanks for post it.
Seems to work great on my A500. Wiped cache only, no factory reset. Updated from 3.1 US stock (rooted) Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2.
Going to try this when I get home. Did not want to lose root. Hoping Netflix fix works.
Anxious to install, but must support Netflix....can anyone verify? Thanks!
I have tabooney 2.1 rom and richardtrip3.4 kernel.
netflix doesn't work even after I applied that asus patch.
anybody got a solution?
thanks

I think I read somewhere Netflix is broken with 3.2. You could drop back to 3.1 or hang tight until the issue has been fixed.

Not true. Using my own variant of a stock 3.2 ROM (rooted, currently trying thors 3.2 kernel v3.5), it works fine with the old Asus patch and the latest Netflix 1.4.x apk.
Make sure you reboot your tab after replacing the Asus lib and setting perms to match the original .so lib. My camcorder still FCs in 3.2 like it did in 3.1, unfortunately I haven't found a fix for that. No biggie though...I can just swap the lib and reboot in minutes if I want to video record.
This worked for me with rooted 3.2

Wow. This 'patch' has been floating around some time. I remember having to do that with my Gtab to get Netflix to work. This created a problem is that was now the identity of the device, not just how Netflix identified the device. Still, I know lots of folks didn't see that as a biggie just so they could get a working Netflix app.

Thanks for the correction. I'm trying out Falcon's HC 3.2 ROM and noticed Netflix installed and opened without FC. I don't use the app but I like your solution.
This may be of interest:

(This ought to work on non rooted 3.2 acer a500 installs as well)
Awesome... Downloaded the modified v1.4.1 app, cleared cache and data for the existing installed app, and then uninstalled the existing app (note: I hadn't previously modified build.prop or changed out the libnvomx.so file). Works perfectly!
Thanks to ezterry!!
EDIT: I'm running unrooted, stock Android 3.1
Nice hack!! Thanks ezterry!
Awesome.. I just got the update to 3.2 today, removed the Netflix .so hack prior to update, and just installed this. Works perfect! Thank you for your efforts
Thanks ezterry! works great on an unrooted 3.2!
works great on stock/unrooted Android 3.2! Thanks!
Thanks! Works great after 3.2 upgrade.
Works great. Thanks for helping us get Netflix working on the A500.
Ok, I may need to look harder here but I have not found anything that could assist me or if I have seen it, I am not too sure on what I need to do.
Here is what I have:
- Acer Iconia a500
- Android 3.0.1
- Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b Stock
- Build Number Acer_A500_1.104.01_COM_GEN1
- Rooted with Gingerbreak
- Installed Acer Recovery (did forget to make an original backup, I know, bad me)
(Screenshot attached to prove it.)
I have tried looking in here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878) to see if I could get an update and update it here to 3.1 but am unsure on which one to use.
I did use this and it worked fine but was did not like the way 3.2 was running. So alas, I am back to 3.0.1 but would like some assistance on installing or ideas on which one to install.
If your trying to go to 3.1 you can try this rom,

nice job guys good luck definitely recommend looking at the dev forum there always updating and always have the best answers
Hey guys thought I would start up a thread and post my build.prop mod for Thor's newer roms that will keep your tablet looking like an Acer instead of an Asus, so that your Gameloft games will all play. There is one app that I know of so far that will not work with my build.prop and that is the MyLibary app from Asus. Sorry still looking in to see if I can find a fix for that. Below are the steps to apply this build.prop. The Uploaded files are NOT actual .zip files(UNLESS THEY ARE THE NEW FLASHABLE ZIPS THAT BEGIN WITH THOR), just been renamed by adding .zip to end so that it could be uploaded here. You need to drop off all characters to make the file just named build.prop.
For "NEW" Install
1- Download the build.prop that you need from below
2- Rename file from "build.propv*.zip" to "build.prop" no quotes.
3- Open the rom that you are going to flash buy double clicking.
4- Double click on system.
5- Here you will see the existing build.prop
6- Now just click and drag my modded build.prop to where the existing one is and it will be over written. May take a min for WinRar or 7zip to add file cause it will unzip, and file, then rezip.
7- Flash rom as normal and Enjoy!
For "Existing" install.
Method 1- File Explorer Style.
1- Download the build.prop that you need from below.
2- Rename file from "build.propv*.zip" to "build.prop" no quotes.
3- Move file to your internal or external sdcard, your choice.
4- Now you will need a file Explorer that has root capabilities, IE Root Explorer or ES FIle Explorer.
5- Copy the modded build.prop to /system.
6- Change permissions to rw-r-r.
7- Reboot into recovery and clear JUST your cache, that way new cache will be rebuilt based on new build.prop.
8- Reboot and Enjoy!
Method 2- ADB Style
1- Move download & RENAMED build.prop to your tools folder or where you push files from.
2- adb remount
3- adb push build.prop /system
4- adb reboot recovery
5- Wipe JUST your cache.
6- Reboot and Enjoy!.
Method 3- Flashable zip- Many thanks to kird.of-k for creating these.
1- Download your desired flashable zip from below. One of the two files that begin with Thor.
2- Flash using recovery
3- Wipe you cache in recovery
4- Reboot, give kird.of-k some thanks, ENJOY!
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND REALIZE SOME APPS MAY NO LONGER WORK THE WAY THEY DO WHEN YOUR TABLET THINKS IT IS AN ASUS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
But in all reality should work just fine.
Huge thanks goes out to Thor for creating such an awesome rom and all his other work. Our tabs are all better because of that dev. So please don't forget to visit his thread and give him thanks, and possibly buy him something nice.
I will update the build.props as thor releases new roms.
Don't forget the "Thanks" button if you use this and it helped you. Appreciate it.
Works like a charms thanks bud ive tested and you can run ll acer apps its pretty nice to have best of both worlds

I will have v12 for 3g patch in just a few min.
Added to op, so either add to the 3G patch before you flash or add it after wards your choice. There are really no changes to anything technicial, just to names in build.prop. Let me know how it works.
Great!
Thanks a lot, will try next week when I have some spare time ...
ok, so I installed clean V12 with 3G patch, system up and running, then changed the build.prop to yours and lost the 3G ... Mobile Networks option disappeared from the setting menu ... all the rest seemed to wrok fine and showing tablet as an Acer ...
Reverted back to my Thor V10 backup as I prefer the look&feel of it, not a big fan of the ICS flavor in V12 ...
Thanks, Marcher
So in order for this to work for me at least it's odd but i need to change name to build.prop then put into another rom zip besides thorxx and once it's changed to a building prop file after renaming it for a second time i then drop the build.prop into the Thor rom I am about to flash if i dont do this i get errors and it doesn't flash..
Hope this will help anyone that has troubles

Thanks for this. It was a breeze to install, and got NOVA 2 to work. So my question is... Thor v13? It just came out and sounds even better, if possible. I would very much appreciate it.

Everything works as it should. All the games work also. "MyLibrary" still doesn't. But I don't use it anyway. Thanks again for your work.
Works good all my gloft games work and I get a better market experience with the rom as well apps that don't show up in other Acer Rome show up here awesome! Only if golauncher worked to my liking... oh well stock is shaweet here is a pics of my games screen to prove if needed that this does work!
