Thanks to:
Crsdr37 - for beta testing
m-deejay - for pointing out my ramdisk issue.
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
Aupeo!
Acer Content Folders
Acer Registration
Clear.fi (this is for DNLA so its useful)
Facebook Web
Hancent SMS

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..

[FIRMWARE] I9000XXJVQ 2.3.4 - feedback and bug reporting ONLY!

I'm opening this one to discuss about this newly leaked firmware.
Please don't spam this thread with that kind of posts that made moderators close the original thread.
The firmware was originally shared by user xade4.
You can download it here: link
This is a 2.3.4 GINGERBREAD firmware for your i9000.
You may flash it as usual using Odin or Heimdall, with the included 512.pit file, checking repartition if you need to.
Please disable ANY lagfix you have applied BEFORE flashing.
I'm currently using it with Hardcore kernel, which I used also for rooting it, with no problems at all.
FEATURES:
There's NO gtalk video chat support yet, but you can install the cwm package (search for it in "Themes and Apps" section) and have it fully working.
There's still the sensor bug problem. Please refer to the JVP-fix topic in General section.
I fixed it replacing the default sensors.default.so in /system/lib/hw/ with the one attached here (it's just the file, not a cwm package). Please DON'T try to fix it this way if you don't know how to do it.
Phone bug ("The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly") seems to be gone.
Edit: user mozzer2k4 reported some FC with stock odexed rom. Still no FC for me on my deodexed JVQ.
You can find the deodexed version of this firmware in development section.
Please note that stock Browser is laggy once you deodex it, but works great on the standard, odexed rom.

I am on rooted stock xxjvq + stock kernel.
Obtained root from flash latest speedmod kernel 1st, install root, then flash back to stock kernel.
Everything seems alot better than before. Everything was smooth and fast. Feels like no lag at all. Really love like this & I think I can live without CWM & all custom kernel &ROM , & remain stock just like this
From 10am till now (10.48pm), still have about 35% baterry remaining with sync on (2 gmail account , 1 facebook account) , data n wifi enabled, GPS testing (papago, igo, maps) , installing & restore app, about 2hrs call and smses.
Still dont have any issues yet. No FCs, bluetooth works like a charm, and everything is so smooth.
Actually, I'm thinking to install cm7 or miui, but after use this xxjvq, I think, I like this stock one from samsung ( with video call & great camera app )
Currently not thinking to flash any custom kernel or rom right now , because I'm really love this xxjvq.
Thanks samsung. Hope to see ice cream later on this i9000gt!

Question re upgrade.
As per JVP, did you apply JVQ, then the latest speedmod (applying root from CWM) then re-flashed JVQ kernel back?
Where did you get the stock kernel? Thanks

You can use sgs kernal flasher from the market for both bacKup and flash

Hey all,
I come back on the matter with deOdexed Browser.
I deodexed the rom myself, and i have the lag too. So it's not coming from Ramad.
Actually, the browser is not dragging but scrolling as it did before ... without displaying the animated transition.
(Same when you pinch to zoom.)
I modded this apk for a long, then will investigate and keep you in touch soon.
Eric,
In Sri Lanka.

yes, this is stock 3.1 acer rom

Sorry to trouble you more, but would it be too much trouble to use a 3.2 Rom as Base (Virtuous Xoom, Prime, Minimalist 3.2, or other). I realize TouchWiz UX is currently only on 3.1, but 3.2 has those very minor improvements that make it a little better.
Once again sorry and thank you.

While the Samsung and Acer won't let out 3.2 such mod's will be impossible

It was dumped from A501, but it works nicely on the A500 (i've installed it and it's cool )

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

Yeah of course should be. I think I'll give it a go
*I take it the zip is inside the .rar?

yes, you'll have to unpack the .rar archive first

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

and it works great. no camera issue at all.

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 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.
