Guys,
Looks like the folks at the Modaco Advent Vega tablet forum are also using the VeganTab version of the ROM for our Gtablets. Would any of the ROMs on their rom download page also work on our Gtablets?
Here is the link: http://android.modaco.com/content/a...6486/advent-vega-rom-software-updates-guides/
Anyone know if any of these Vega roms would work on the gtablet without modifications? Looks like they're also using the Vegan rom that the developers here made for the Gtablet.

I just tried Big Ideas ROM in our Gpad...It works but its all in chinese, have to set language to english and wifi is broken. Other than that everything seems to be fine. Had to build a boot.img though coz the included boot.img wont work.
UPDATE:
Figured out how to change language from Chinese to ENglish and did a wifi patch. Everything is functional so far. Will do further testing and might release Big Ideas ROM for our GPAD. BTW, its pretty snappy
This Big Ideas Rom dont even need a market fix.
Have been using the the Big-ideas variations since 1202 on my Zpad. Have had no issues with wifi, lag and market. What I did was NVFlash Big Ideas ROM then made a GAPPS update with update.script to delete all Chinese apps then pushed the Google apps. This has been working out quite well.
I guess what Rothnic proposed about using Big-ideas as a base then add Vegan stuffs is heading in the right direction.
Rom 1.06.05 (VEGA) is the base foundation for VEGAn beta 4/5, FYI. A lot of this is intermingled.
I do like that link, as they seem to update it frequently.
I love the file explorer in Big Ideas rom. Does anyone know what app that is?
I LOVE BIG IDEAS ROM!!! I'm building a Vanilla version and might upload it tomorrow after testing it

I'm confused... I thought that ZPad 3.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853310) already *was* essentially the vanilla version of the Big Ideas ROM, with the Chinese language stuff stripped out.
Thanks my understanding, as well.

I would try update 3. Be careful it says use at you own risk! Not sure if they are any newer than what we already have. i was just curious. Try taking a quadrant score before and after, see if it makes a difference. I admire your courage

I gave it a try awhile back sadly the USB key button was not functional of course. Simply clicking the USB key button in iFileManager makes it much easier, even if the translation is sometimes appalling

I worked around that issue by just simply making my usb system file a favorite which then gave me a direct link.

Curious if it will work without the patch.
Tried it on mine ... got error 12001 cannot reach netflix and have a great internet connection
drat! and double DRAT!
i know! i had big hopes for this one but I guess this means we will have to wait until at least another version comes out
Works for me. Stock 3.1 rooted. It gave the usual warning about replacing an application with a new one and saved all user data. The video looks great. Thanks.
Edit- I am such a big fat liar... I forgot about the lib patch. I changed back to the stock libnvomx.so and lost the Netflix. I didn't even realize there was a problem with the camcorder.... I promise to try to pay a little more attention in the future...

same issue for me. I even tried clearing data and starting over.
12001 error for me too
Does not work for me either, Stock Rooted A500. Same 12001 error....was hoping it might work.
I have the same problem with Netflix 1.4 and Zoom's build.prop
My A500 specs:
ROM CWM HC 3.2 from fguy
HC 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36.3+
This is strange: I installed the 1.4 app and for me everything now seems to be working. Everything=Netflix and videocamera.
My setup: rooted stock 3.1
What I did: I had already the old Netflix working with the library patch. Installed 1.4. Tested that it works. Reverted to original library file. Tested that both Netflix and videocamera works. Really happy.
Edit: I guess this means that my setup and results are the same as JdgM3NT4L's.

The question is how did you get it working on the 3.1.there are two known methods
1. Change the lib file.this messes up video recording
2.do the Asus fix this changes build.prop files.this one video recording works.but screws up tablet info.and for me caused GPS and other tab issues.very slow digititizee
if you did neither of the two and are on a stock rom
Please post any changes or mods to your tablet.
By the way working Netflix means able to stream movies not just access there site.some are confused by this
Thanks in advance

I did method 1. But there is catch, caveat or something. I had both netflix 1.4 and camcorder working perfectly after installing 1.4 with the original lib. Out of curiosity I rebooted my tablet today to test if things would work after that. And they did not, Netflix did not work. So sorry folks, nothing to see here. I had things only temporarily working, sorry about this.
On the bright side 1.4 works with the patched lib. And I really don't use the camcorder.
Running HoneyVillain 1.1 (3.2), using the Libvnomx.so patch with the netflix 1.4 apk from this thread. Netflix works but video recording still force closes.
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 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.
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).
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,
