[Q] No Roms?

Isnt this phone wide open now for making Roms?
I cant make my own ROM, but I really love to test differents Roms.

I understand your enthusiasm, I too await improved software to really show off this devices capabilities. But if you look around the threads you will see that there are some talented people working on the development of recovery methods for the Arc and also some people working on Cyanogen ROM development, so it is only a matter of time; be patient my young jedi...

Well, I just thougth that all problems with X10 and not cracking the bootloader.
Now everything is open? Or have I misunderstood something?

There is no recovery partition on the Arc in which to install recovery software (such as clockwork mod) so although chefs can cook new ROMs I believe they would have to be re-installed with every update (someone may want to confirm this). As I said above there is a thread for Cyanogen ROM development so it would be worth keeping an eye on that

OMG...
CyanogenMod is full name of standalone ROM, not Mod for Cyanogen ROM.
I'm porting that ROM from Desire HD.

And we thank you for that Blagus

[Q] noob that wants ics

Hi All
I am a noob lol
I have a Acer_A500_7.066.01_com_Gen (not rooted)Running on 3.2 only got download for this a few days ago.
Is the UK going to get ics? Or is there a way to download it my self?
If so could some one give me a step-by-step guide as I am a noob.

[/COLOR]There are a 2 (maybe 3) ICS Roms currently available.
1. Look in the DEV sub forum for the leaked ICS rom. This is pretty close to what the official ACER rom will look like when it finally comes out.
2. There is a dev here called Protekk. (he is the maybe above) no real info on his stuff, but search here about it.
3. There is a fully working (minus camera) ICS ROM that is very well received by a dev who does not post his work here. Search for "Tegra Owners Forum" via google to find his link. He is also the dev that got CWM working for the Acer.
For any of the above, you will need to Root your device. There are lots for threads on that in these forums.
Enjoy.

as of right now there is no release of ics for our acers.
if you are refering to the "leak " scene on another thread, it is being used by the great, hard working devs to make us our ics. saying that if you are stating that you are a noob, than i really suggest you dot screw arround with what has been "leaked" or you will probably regret it as people are having some problems trying to flash this rom.
there is an ics rom out there with some minor bugs but you will have to search for that yourself
i would just wait and there will be some stable roms out soon
hope that helps

Dr
Thanks for that might just site back and wait don't want to break my Acer only had for one month lol

yup... im gonna wait for a good rom ( moscow i hope you listening lmao ) good things will come to people that are patient

I so agree with Dr .. this acer ics leak is a Dev alpha build its missing a apps and components from the ICS That acer will release..It is also very likely that you will have to flash back to 3.2.1 to update to the acer ics rom when they push it OTA. as this rom has a new boot loader that seems to be Completely different
Big warning.. if you flash this . YOU MUST GET YOUR UID SAVE AND SOUND FIRST.. AS THIS NEW BOOT LOADER IS SUSPECTED TO BE CHANGING IT. This will prevent you from reverting back..
as far as the other rom mentioned above well only thing i will say . Read more about it before you flash. IT However is safe as far as the ability to return to Stock.
good luck If you are not comfortable flashing your tablet i suggest to wait or do much more reading. Asking for a step by step without basic knowledge is Dangerous..
Good Luck..

Erica
Thanks for your advice.
Think I will just sit back and chill until Acer release ICS for us all,but the sooner the better.

Best post in this thread, and made by somebody who knows what they are talking about. I'd say listen to Aaron. Option #3 works incredibly well for me.

You are correct to say that Thors rom seems to work well. But the op clearly (not meant to be disrespectful to OP) does not have the knowledge to do the downgrade to root procedure . Nor do i believe he wants to Do so.I think just finding and following a walk thru without atlest some knowledge is dangerous. But If he decides to and wants to try a Stock ics . Thor's ics is likely the safest way to go..
I just believe myself that if someone has to ask they should read more. And not become flash happy. Even following a tutorial can go wrong.. ALSO KNOW how to get out of trouble up front.Just in case something goes wrong.
There is no right answer. its about comfort level of the Person.

Asking questions before hand isn't a bad thing. It also doesn't show they don't know what they are doing. I ask questions, but I have a general feel for what I'm doing.

TUTO : Install Jelly Bean on Nexus ONE

Hello,
I am coming from an iOS world (no bashing please) and I first tried yesterday to update my Nexus One (GingerBread) to Jelly Bean. Although many forums post and blogs are available. It is nothing like easy for someone new in this world. Many acronyms, shortcuts etc ..
I summarized my experience in this blog post: www dot stormacq dot com/?p=494 (sorry for the link but stupid forum policies forbid forum newbie to post links. Not easy to share experience and information !!)
This is NOT a step-by-step tutorial, but just some highlight, warning and soem ways to avoid common pitfalls.
I hope it will be useful to others.
Seb

Give me more details:
Are you trying to install a aosp from your personal kang?
Are you trying to update?
Are you trying to port?
Why dont using some beautiful ports from developers section?

Not bad for an Apple fan tried to flash a Jelly Bean ROM I read your blog. It's not stupid forum policies but it's a way to prevent spammers post links to other sites.

Don't know if I understand :S

Just finished... Took me 6 hours!
I just did this, thinking that is wouldn't be so hard since I had unlocked and flashed CM 7.2 a while back. I feel like I definitely jumped into the deep end. I had never used fastboot usb or Blackrose and they were actually quite fun to learn to use, albeit frustrating. I think I had to reread like 5 different threads at least 10 times but I got there. 6 hours of solid learning!

I would love to see such a tutorial (I couldn't visit the link above, even after some 'dot'substitution/etc).
I am using CM7.2. I put CM on my N1 some months before, and just keep updating by installing new releases from CM. The nice thing is that I do not have to reinstall app/move data after each upgrade.
I would love to get step-by-step help on getting Jelly Bean (Evervolv rom), and wonder whether it'll be as "upgrade friendly" as CM afterwards.
Thanks!

i dint understand flashing the patch for hboot.. i did repartition using balckrose..

Nice blog post sebsto127. I did it slightly different in that I used OSX to manually install BlackRose.
Running the installer in OSX doesn't work as you've found (cant execute binary or something) so then I followed the instructions found in the BlackRose "manual" download..
All that did was screw my recovery partition and BlackRose couldn't install due to 'signature verify fail'.
After some searching through the BlackRose thread I found this (why it isn't in the OP I don't know): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29156664&postcount=1292
After reflashing 4EXT recovery all was good again.

Installing Blackrose allows you to repartition - Step #2 in the blog is to install the actual partition system for Jellybean

thanks!!

This might be somewhat off topic but I just want to mention that having tried both Evervolv's JB and Spazedog's, the Spazedog JB ROM has been much more stable for me and since it is based on CM, many of the CM customization options are there (Evervolv is closer to stock AOSP). You'll also want to overclock your processor to achieve optimum performance.
As for learning all this stuff, it seems to be a never ending process for me. I had unlocked rooted five devices since December but when I got my N1 a couple weeks ago...I was going crazy trying to learn about the particularities of this device (especially in regards to hboot & a2sd...neither of which are present/necessary on any other device I've tinkered with).

I ended up trying both Evervolv ICS and SpazeDog ICS. And find the latter smoother on my N1 (but I don't like the boot animation on SpazeDog )
I find the following helpful for ICS, and probably also what one need for JB.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804571
As mentioned in many places by the devs, the JB is not as mature and there are known issues like camera. That's probably why there is not a complete instruction, by purpose.
Last but not the least, thanks for all the great things this community brings!

But if I install any other version that has left with improvements, the phone gets very, very, very slow, can not even write a message, anyone know what this might be, is it nescessário perform the downgrade to version CM10-20120830-NIGHTLY-milestone2.zip for example?

I guess reading the OP from this thread and the changelog was a bit hard ?
It's simple, that version is the last one with Froyo kernel support, all the subsequent ones don't.
It's why it's stated IN THE FIRST POST that IF you come from Froyo kernel (which is forced if you were on the CM7 from this forum basically), you HAVE to update to either the Chinese GB kernel (linked in the first post by Tezet) OR make an sbf update of your phone with the latest GB European kernel before flashing the new CM10.

There is a whole discussion thread about CM10 explaining how to work with it, the steps to install it in the op of the CM10 thread (or the CM9 ones, or the one in MS2 General forum explaining how to install CM9 on LatAm phones and other EU phones, and so on, on top of it being explaining like 10 times in Questions and Troubleshooting or the actual CM10 thread...).
As a registered user you accepted the rules of XDA, using the search function and searching before a question is one MANDATORY rule.
Being a lazzy ass not even wanting to go read the TITLES of the first page of the forums and/or the last 2 pages of the troubleshooting thread or the first 2 pages of the discussion and dev topics of a ROM is kind of painful......

Please read the very first post by Tezet. Tezet didn't provide Froyo support in his latest rom. So please follow his instructions to fix it.
If this cannot help you, I will suggest you to do full wipe and flash the newest rom again. It's amazing. I love it.

Your problems here could have been avoided by taking the five minutes necessary to read the first post of Tezet's thread completely mate.
As such, this thread is unnecessary, and I'm going to close it.
Please everyone, before you go flashing ANYTHING to your precious devices, make sure you read the fine print first!!!!

[Q] Which one is better?

Hi guys! This is my first time posting on this forum, but i have come to many threads as a visitor to figure out problems regarding my google nexus 4 and i have to say this is one of the most useful forums ever! I can find nearly everything here, its totally awesome..
now to the point, my question is Which one gives faster and better performance? Cm10.1 or combination of kernel franco r136 and rom paranoid android alpha? because i recently saw a video on youtube where this person was testing custom nexus 4 vs stock samsung s4 and using only franco r136 and paranoid rom he increased his performance by A LOT (compared to my antutu benchmark which was utterly disappointing.. around 16.5k ) without overclocking..
if the combination is better than how to install the kernel and rom (can anyone link me to a noobs guide to installing roms and kernels?) because i just rooted my phone 3 days ago without checking the "custom recovery check box" .. (btw, the nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 is awesome!!!) ..
i am currently running stock kernel and rom i think and my phone is only rooted.. (kernel version: 3.4.0 and build number jwr66y)..
Thanks for reading my first post and thread!

oke a question though.. since posting in that thread without actually trying to install a rom or kernel would be useless..
if i make a backup of all my apps.. and say i install cm10.1 or the combination i mentioned in my first post.. will i be able to restore my apps using the nexus root toolkit or will i have to install all my apps from again..?

I have a touchwiz device so im not fully qualified to answer your question. Thats why I gave you a ask any question for your device thread. Most members use apps like titanium backup to back there apps up
