I would suggest any of the Near stock 3.2.1 roms WITH Stock kernel..
Also the rom by Moscow DESIRE IS A GOOD ROOM . .
Fallow all flashing instructions..
good luck..

Thor's Roms based on HC, are pretty good and stable too, just as long as you are not prejudice about who is following gpl or not... Also his ICS ROM is good too, with the exception of camera not working yet...
MD's Alexandra really good.
Civato Flexstriker is good.
Both of those are based on Base HC 3.2.1.
Personally i have played with alot of roms and currently running Honeylicious, but its not available any more. After playing with quiet few ROMs, i came to conclusion that all tablets are dam temperamental. Just because some Rom worked perfectly on some one's tablets from the start; dont mean it will work perfectly on your tablet OR Vice Versa. Which just mean you will have to put little more time in, but in the end they will/should works perfectly. So take your time and play around with ROMs.

Thanks guys for the advice...

I'm actually using Honeylicious 3.2.1, but it seems disappeared from XDA..
I don't know why..
It works pretty good, just a problem when I try to insert my ext hd
For the rest it is very stable e fluid

i believe the developer left xdas iconia forum. Something about sold his device.that rom was based on roms by civato. search his threads in the DEV AREA
Good luck

Try Drive Mount from the Market
3.2.x supports a fat32 partition (sometimes), but if your HD is ntfs, you need Drive Mount.

I tried it, but nothing.. The touchscreen freeze when I plug in the USB.. I don't know why it could be a rom bug

Shouldn't be a rom bug, KJY used 100% stock OS and kernel. Maybe something got corrupted a little, who knows. only takes 1 bit of 0's and 1's to make a mess Maybe some "rogue" app.
But if you reflash, and it doesn't matter who's rom you use, and it freezes again, well, it's probably a hardware issue. Either the tab or the hdd.
I would guess anyhow. Reflash, and check it before installing apps. If it's FAT32, should see it no problem. NTFS and you'll probably need Drive Mount.
Good luck!
EDIT: Also, try stuffing a flash stick in there, and see if it does the same.

It's best to try and isolate the problem. Can the table connect to a thumb drive with no problems? Can you access the external drive with another device? If the answer to both of those questions is yes, that would point to an issue with the tablet firmware. If the external drive works but the tablet doesn't work with a thumb drive either, it may be a hardware or firmware problem.

some hard drive enclosures just do not work well with the Iconia chipset or drivers. This would depend on who made them. .
I have a few that work flawless. One this is actually a better brand no luck at all.

I don't know, I got this
problem with 3.0.1 PB stock, then I updated it to 3.2.1 PB stock and no freeze with the same hdd plugged in.. Then flashed with MyG100w rom (by XDA) but no try about this problem.. 3 days later i flashed with HL 3.2.1 and it freezes the touchscreen with hdd plugged in..
The hdd is working pretty good, no problem with PC's or tv's, just some troubles with this tablet..
It's a expansion 1tb by seagate, 3 partitions ( 2 ntfs + 1 fat32) and when the USB is correctly plugged in, there's a green led always lighted up, with my tab this led is on, so it's correctly plugged in..
I don't know if I'll reflash the rom, because between a little time will arrive ics.. i can wait for it.. Or maybe I'll reflash before, i don't know
Thanks for your helping )

[Q] Why I can't see my external hard disk?

I've a PB G100W flashed with Honeylicious 3.2.1 (aka A500) and when I try to insert my ext hdd Seagate Expansion 1TB the touchscreen doesn't work anymore.. Why? The HDD is partitioned (1 fat32 + 2 NTFS) and with PB stock rom 3.2.1 there wasn't this problem, or better the touchscreen worked good..
I got the same problem with the old PB stock rom 3.0.1.
I even tried the "Drive mount" apk but no solution.. Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot mates!

I would post this in the thread where you downloaded the rom from..
That rom i flashed to try and had some performance issues.. never tried hard drive..I KNOW its a rom from another developer. that he just added wallpapers and colors to . maybe something was messed up in the ui framework.. look for the themes from this developer . its the exact same rom other then color and icon changes..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429556
i am using the near stop rooted 3.2.1 rom from this thread .. With my photo shopped UI CHANGES.. EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT..
with the above said.. how did you flash your rom.. did you wipe and format correctly.. you leave it wide open for anything to be the issue..
sorry i know this is no help .. good luck
Are you using a seperate power supply for the drive or relying on usb power? That is a pretty beefy drive to rely on usb power from a tablet to support it. While that said, 3.2.1 should see the drive and the ntfs partitions also.

I don't know, I'm a beginner about Android.. I tried a couple of roms.. Not more.. I'm OK with this one that I've flashed on.. It's just a little issue..
I flashed it right with CWM, wiped all and no problem.. I think that could be just a rom limit.. Maybe can be fixed by a little mod..

Nope there are 2 different connectors, USB and alimentation.. So there's a separate power supply..
Yes I know that 3.2.1 should support the external drive, but it doesn't work.. either with 3.2.1 PB stock rom.. Touchscreen was working.. just touch!

[Q] istalling mod rom , can i loose my 3.01 bootloader?

Hi, At the moment i have a501 with a mod rom (taboonay 2.2) and my bootloader it is again 3.0.1 . I want to know if i will loose my old bootloader installing a mod rom like alexanderIII that it is based on 2.3.1.

No. Your bootloader should remain the same. You can flash away with all 3.2.x roms.
Just DON'T install a leaked ICS rom or you will get a new bootloader... The cooked ICS roms are OK, just not the leaks...

No problem. You can always go back to factory un-rooted just by installing a stock rom.in most cases anyhow. Let me know if you have any issues with the install.

Well, you can always post over at androidtabletgeeks. We don't have such limits. It's just a new site is all.
As with battery power, here is what I know.
Your battery life, is pretty much controlled by the kernel that is being used. This is not considering apps, and running processes which also use battery. But more so by the kernels ability to overclock (OC), and at the same time, use undervoltage (UV). UV is where you save a lot of battery when only concerning the OS itself. This is purely kernel controlled.
The object, or holy grail, as I say, is to find the lowest amount of UV based on CPU speed. At least UV enough to where you still have stability on the tab. Find the lowest amount of power required.
Here-in lies the problem. You only have 4 different kernel Dev's to choose from. And guess what? They all own a500's. And because of this, most of the newer kernels work fine on an a500, but with the 501, we get what is called 3g freeze or sleep of death. Both requiring re-boots. Sometimes you may go for a day without getting it. But it will happen if you use your 3g often enough. Some people aren't familiar with this, and just ignore it sometimes thinking the rom or app is messed up.
As with good kernels to use, I can say this;
1. Stock kernel (GPL compliant)
2. RichardTrip's 3.4 villain+ (current in rom) (GPL compliant)
3. Drelisdee earlier version kernel (GPL compliant)
4. Thor2002ro current version (untested and non-GPL compliant)
As with battery power, well, I can't tell you if Taboonay 2.2 compares. I believe Vache uses a RichardTrip kernel, just not aware which one. You can always experiment with kernels, as long as you follow the correct procedures.
As in roms, one would hope the newest version of HC would require a little less power to function. Just watch for the 3g freeze, usually when in the browser.

Don't worry. Nobody has ever made a paperweight from my roms
Just make a recovery backup of your current system through RA Recovery. Typically this generally provides some safety. I've never known a recovery image to be bad when running HC 3.2.x. It happens on rare occasions.
Only lately on the ICS "betas" have I seen some corrupted stuff.

Thanks for the comments!!!
It is probably because you are missing the 2 library files that are necessary for polaris Office to run.
I am at work now and don't have access to my files, so do the following;
Search the threads here at XDA, as you should be able to find a polaris office zip somewhere in either the dev, general or q&a forum. I remember putting one up some time ago (non flashable).
or
Download one of the Honeycomb 3.2.x roms that include polaris office, open the zip (do not extract it), then I belive in the lib folder, you will find the 2 polaris office lib files. They are easy to locate. Copy these into the same folder on your tablet. Then reboot and they should work.
As with DNLA apk, If you look near the bottom of my Rom post, you will see a link to a zip for the Acer System Apps. Unzip to your PC, and copy the apk you want, and also the Odex file. Copy to your tablets system/app folder, the reboot. Should work.

The only thing that gas a little pag is when i open the pdf file. Perhaps is because i haven't formatted the sdcard.
Usually when i flah a new rom with the galaxy s2 i formato also the internal ad. Here on iconia tab id i want clear all the internal sd card like when i bought it ' ho i fan do it?because i ha ve some directory or the other rom. Is there a formato tor the internal sdcard?

Quite a while. It won't happen until they get the 3.0 kernel done. You can follow the development here, but don't ask them for an estimated completion date:

Which method did you follow for installing CM9?
Is it new or upgrade from other rom?
Produced by NookColor at ICS 4.0.4
Not sure, its one of eyeballers nightlies. And I'm guessing I'm not putting the correct cm9 program on my card, are their different mods for your hard drive then their are for the bootable sd card? Now my problem is that when I put my sd card with cm7 back in, the nook had to reload its stock rom I guess cause when I turned it back on it said something like it was reloadIng original image. Then I had to register it again. What's freaking me out is that now when I run My cm7 sd card, its running choppy, things are force closing in every direction, when before it ran perfectly. Have I somehow shot myself in the foot or is there some way to fix this? Thankyou for your help

Did you use an open GL cm9? I'd almost bet you did. Follow the instructions given by dizzy and leap and it should get you going. I tried updating from cm7.2 to cm9 open GL (I think June 11th) and mine blew up pretty bad. Not even a restore from a back up helped.
CM9 on SDcard install
I've been running CM9 for a couple months now. I installed a fresh image on a Sandisk 16Gb class 4 card using Samiam303's variation on Verygreen's procedure and update occasionally using CM9 nightlies from http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/encore (see [ROM][NC] Unofficial CM9 Nightly builds - with/without OpenGL). It's been pretty stable, a bit slow at times, but mostly works with the notable exception of Netflix and USB/UMS.
I did run into one other glitch when going from the 6/13 to the 6/20 nightly OpenGL update. MTP stopped working. I tried several different driver configs on my XP machine without success. Going back to the 6/13 nightly brought it back and that's where I am now. LeapinLar solved the problem for ADB by modifying the .inf file which might give a clue to how to get MTP working, but that's stretching my capability. This and many other useful tips are in his post [USER][TIPS]CM7/CM9 User Tips From LeapinLar.

Netflix does not work for anyone. But UMS and MTP should work. For MTP, but sure USB debugging is off in development settings. For UMS, it needs to be checked in settings and when you plug the cable into the PC, a dialog should pop up saying to turn on USB Storage. Be sure to select that.

Help! CM10 v.0.8.1 not working. Need latest stock Rom

Hi everyone, I am new to the Thinkpad forums. I just bought a TPT and installed CM10 v.0.8.1. However, the tablet is having endless reboots as the Rom appears very unstable.
Can someone please upload the latest stock Rom from Lenovo? I don't have a backup rom. Thank you!

Which one? ROW? WE? US?
Unless you explicitly need the pen-only mode I recommend trying version 0.7 as it was much more stable than 0.8.1, at least in my experience.

in my case the 0.8.1 is very stable and runs very smooth... i was first on 0.8 which was a desaster... reboots every time and lost some productive data also :/ then i downgraded to 0.7 which was OK, but no pen only mode is very nasty when i try to write on the device e.g in university courses...
so now i'm on 0.8.1 and i have no problems...
maybe it helps if you clean all the caches and stuff?
I moved from 0.6.0 to 0.8.1 and find it MUCH more stable. Pen Only mode work quite well in the new 0.8.1 version too!

I did a few factory resets after installing the rom and I made sure to clean out the caches, etc via clockword recovery before installing the rom.
I am not sure why my TPT is rebooting unexpectedly so much.
I rooted the tablet after upgrading the stock rom to ICS, then got CW mod recovery. I am not sure which version TPT I have. I bought it in the US and it is 16gb if that helps.
Thanks!

if you have installed cm10 you won't find your Information in the 'about the tablet' section. Just install the app ' Android System Info' and look at system/buildinfo/fingerprints. At the end you will find something like 130_WE (i hope thats not an info about whats used by the cm10 build)/( WE = western europe). Besides: i have every now and then a sleep to death with 0.8.1. I havent had those with 0.8.0. I tried a lot and so far only one thing works - i turned of the light sensor. ( works at least since a few hours)

Atrix 4G Leaked ICS with Kernel 3.1.10

Android 4.0.4 ICS is working great on my Atrix 4G.
I flashed the official AT&T ICS for Atrix and then flashed the last Kernel build by Krystianp (2013-12-22 build)
There are two versions of kernel, I've used the version with stock voltages - link.
The things I did:
1 - Flash ICS_Atrix_leak_flashable
2 - Flash kernel (kernel-2013_12_22_atrics)
3 - Flash Multitouch-Homefix
4 - Flash Ramfix
5 - Install SETCPU
*Flash using CWM (wipe cache, data, dalvik, system)
5 - After boot, you need to get root access, use this
6 - You can remove FastDormency.apk from system/app, it give me best battery life.
7- WI-FI theter works, but you need to disable the entitlement check with Sqlite Editor in the systems->settings.db and set it to 0 from 1 and reboot.
I put the files here >> DOWNLOAD
In this zip you'll find all needed files! (ROM, Radio 37P, Ramfix, Kernel, Multitouch-Homefix, files to root(step 5)...)
For me everything works, camera, flash, fingerprint... It's really smooth!
I'm not the dev of this ROM, I'm just saying what I did.
Thanks for Devs Krystianp, Epinter, upndwn4par and others.
but i cant find the proper RAMFIX and i dont know if this http://d-h.st/HUf is the right ICS_Atrix_leak_flashable, its dated 2012-10-09
i'll wait for someone to put the files here, i dont want to brick my phone because of someone like u, thanks for nothing
You might be in for quite a wait. People don't usually like people who expect others to do the work for them. Especially on a forum dedicated to exploring and developing on your own such as this one. Also, it is quite difficult to completely brick the phone. Most caveats are recoverable one way or another.
Thread cleaned a bit...
Guys, xda is no place for fighting, but also no place to demand something (as you pay for nothing)

.....you could have followed the xda for noobs thread to get yourself to 10 posts and then have been able to post in the development section. Then you could have posted that in the AtrICS v2.0 thread. And besides that, everything you said is the required and advised steps anyways....

hmm, you do realize that this would be against the rules, right?
Maybe you really should re-read the RULES before giving further advice...
For the info.Atrics2.0 with latest kernel usb otg works fully. Just tried the usb diagnostics by chainfire, which made some kind of fix and now usb otg cable works with simple Y cable connected to charger.Which means one can use atrix as a HD player without having to use any kind of dock.

I've got a half dead digitizer, so I can't really go digging into the camera (settings are more on the middle to upper corner of the screen, and that's where my digitizer is dead). OTG is something I haven't done yet just b/c I still need to build myself the cable or buy a cable to get that working. the kernel revision you said you have does seem to be the latest one, I haven't seen a new one get released since the 22nd. did you see the post above yours from lightlord about what he did to get OTG to work? not sure if that's what needs to be done all the time, but I'd say that's a good place to start.

Nope, camera app is pretty basic. Also, for otg, the atrix won't give power to the usb, you need a hub with external power supply for it to work. On the hd dock I can confirm tht otg works flawessly (ps2 controller on adapter and keyboard/mouse

error Application not installed

So the stock camera doesn't work at all?

stock camera worked well but i wanted more options... but this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motorola.camera doesnt want to install on AtrICS 2.0
Did you try LG camera app
Sent from my MB860
That camera requires android 4.4, not 4.0.4. And besides that, it's a crap of a camera app.
