[Q] Camera issues... - Acer Iconia A500

Is anyone else's rear camera of poor quality? I'm on flexreaper-r5( which has been flawless for my needs) but I have tried every ICS ROM besides the actual leak because I don't like f-ing with boot loaders. But on everyone even a couple 3.2's and my camera has this constant annoying blue fuzz, anyone else experience this? Or should I go to stock and call Acer?

The ICS is from a "Beta". Need I say more, and you should have known this.
If your rear shooter is important to you, then I would suggest installing a 3.2 or 3.2.1 rom.

I understand it being beta, but I have the issue on some 3.2 roms like Thor v14 and the 3.2.1 light speed rom

If you get the same from all roms, then it is a hardware issue.
3.2, 3.2.1 roms have the same drivers,
If there is a rom that it works well, then stay with it.

It's just a junk camera like all the tablets that came out around the time the iconia did

ICS or CM7

Which ICS rom and CM7 Rom are the most complete in terms of working. I tried searching and couldn't pinpoint which one as there are so many anyone could give me insight that be Great
What I did first it install infinitybiff's from, which is the stock Amazon with android market and root access. First rom I ever flashed, good for beginners. I used it for like 12 hours. Then I flashed CM7. Didn't like it so I flashed bl1nkk's ICS rom. Currently it doesn't support video and audio, but other than that, its a great rom. Very smooth. I'm confident that a fix will be made soon.

What about installing the CM7 ROM and then theme it with ICS?
Lipstick on a pig. Not saying that CM7 is ugly, just that it isn't the same.

I didn't even think about doing that, but I like the whole ICS experience better anyway.
ICS is pre-alpha, video and sound are not fully funtional, it is not recommended at its present stage for everyday use (though many certainly use it that way)
CM7 is stable, great for everyday use. It has some minor bugs, but all the hardware is functional (minus bluetooth and light sensor).

I vote for cm7.... Turn your kindle into a tablet.
All you really need to do is enable the home button under tablet tweaks and switch the fake buttons to the right side if you are right handed. Install SwiftKey or some other keyboard.... The aosp keyboard is awful.
What does CM7 do for us that the stock rom + root, market, and 3rd party launcher can't?
I think the thing that would really get me to move from stock is if somebody managed to get that BT module working.

Not much imho, however the user experience is more of a pure android. The big take away is that by running a non-amazon ROM, you no longer have to worry about a forced software update that will break root and wipe out twrp. Yes, there have been other posts about how to block those updates, however we wont know how effective those measures are until another software update (ie running an android software firewall) is pushed out. CM7 is tremendously customizable as well.

non-ics isn't very tablet friendly imo. however, even though cm9 (alpha) is relatively stable (and i use it daily for things like rss, surfing etc); don't even bother if you care about sound and video.
having said that, given how easy it is to reflash, try both and see what you think.

[Info].What is good/bad in different ICS ROM's !

Pls write your opinion about ICS ROM's which you are using, what is good, what is wrong . Its will help to make choice for others .
I'm using Flexreaper 6.1.
Good: smooth, fast, Acer ring is nice. Root is OK. TiTanium Backup is OK. No SoD.
Problem : Have random FC of apk's to black screen.In opera mobile have some big spaces on top and end of the site (xda). Face lock not working. During using stock browser have a lot black blinks of screen, look like that tab is off, but after 1,5 sec its o.k.
P.S. Try to solve Opera problem with different settings. nothing help
Looking to other Rom's, but update of civato is almost the same,as he sad.
Thor write that new rom possible in few days.
Icylicious...no SOD, haven't had a FC issue at all. Tried Flexreaper, but had sod. Though i really like the ring, Icylicious is just more reliable on my machine.
basically everything works for my a500 on Icylicious Rom
well this statement has probably been beaten to death on these forums, everyones silicon is different, the best way to see how a rom is, just to try it. Some kernel tweaks make work wonders for some and others may bring your tablet to halt.
Other than that if theres any themeing done just check out the pics on the devs topic for his/hers rom
This made specially, that no need to search 1000+ posts in Dev threads. And not make garbage posts there. So, I not push, who want help to other peoples, welcome.
Thor's v96
Very stable occasional force close but no more than when on HC.
Only thing missing is camera, but that should be on the next release.
Also has occasional screen wakes but that was due to my Lotus Traveler install, and since removing and reinstalling (and an update to the Traveler version running on the corp server) it has resolved.

If you want the ring, just get the apk, and make the changes to your build.prop file.
Taboonay ICS because everything works as far i tested. Stable and fast. The best battery live, 69% left after 3 days. No sleep of death. No unexpected wakekups like on thors rom. Only needs a overclock kernel. It is so usable now. Finally the perfect rom for me.
Also using Taboonay. If I didn't know better, I'd say this might as well be the official RC since everything works so flawlessly. Face unlock works, no FCs, nothing really funny besides a few random speaker pops. I'm very pleased.
Taboonay 3.0.1. Works great and is very clean. Personally I have noticed it handles my company exchange accounts way better than the previous stock 3.2.1.
How is the microphone. Does ics fix it?

Nope, sorry. The mic is as dismal as ever, which is a shame because I'm dying to use the new voice control system.

If Thor updated the rom, it would be amazing.
Now Lightspeed4.21
So, from morning I use Light speed 4.21
Good : Fast, smooth, almost no programs, Opera issue is gone .
Bad : No ring, no language setup when first boot(English pre install) . When have many notifications, widow stuck for some seconds.
P.s. Will try titanium backup.
My mic still has a crackle or two, same for the speakers themselves, remember that all the ics roms are based on the beta leak, not the final. This is all on tabooney 3.0.1

Mic issues
I'm on Icylicious and the mic may actually be *worse*. I'm also getting the occasional speaker crackles that I wasn't getting with any other rom.
I'm going to try out the Taboonay ICS tonight...I was really pleased the Tab's HC release, and hope the good stuff continues.

Your obviously less than intelligent. I have had thors latest build running smooth since release. YouTube is great. Camera is great. Performance menu works. No SOD. Man and to think it's built from scratch. Enjoy your leak based crap. Except civatos work. His work is solid.

[Q] Netflix issues with ICS builds

Hi guys am I the only one who simply cannot get Netflix to work with these new ICS builds. All that happens is we get a black screen with sounds.
Does anyone have or know of a workaround for this? and is anyone else having this issue?
Many thanks
Mark

It is a problem with all the AOSP based ics roms. All the touchwiz based roms it plays perfect, but you give up tablet mode as these roms have no tablet mode..so ics midnote, criskelo, rocket rom work fine, but no imelka, stunner, etc....
Good man much obliged to you!
This is pretty sad, I haven't tried Netflix yet on my ICS note and didn't know that it is not working! Hopefully the official ICS will come out soooon!
Don't let it discourage you. Just use a TW based rom until AOSP gets it figured out...in fact I'm using Midnote 3.1 at 265 dpi so Netflix is in the tablet mode...I use it all the time and have no issues...
I was on Rocket Rom and then Criskelo, but Midnote based on3.1 is significantly faster everywhere...and it's very stable.
cool
Yeah I just installed rocket ROM 1.5 and everything works now.I have used all others except midnote because the install instructions are just too daunting. This is perfect for me, working s notes also

Downgrade to stock for update, or wait for JB?

I have a US Tab and I don't know if I should go down to stock for ICS update, or wait for a stable JB ROM. What is anyone else doing?
I just installed stock ics and it's great it was worth the wait.

Looking at the quality of this release i would prefer a stock jb i still don't know wich one i will prefer i will have to try once there's a stable release before i can tell.
But matter of factly (for me at least) i can tell you this is the better rom there's out there at the moment.
And i am in México. you can check this info on if you click on more info.
Cheers!!
I have the CM10 JB installed, and besides of the cam it works just great! it's like a new tab, smoth like it should be :good: I do not need the cam, just the front cam for Skype would be nice, but not MUST...
I have not tested the ICS ROM, but with the CM10 JB you can do nothing wrong I read tests from Nexus handy and the conclusion is the same, JB runs much smoother than ICS...

Alright, thank you for the info. I still haven't gotten stock..
Personally, I won't be going back to stock. TouchWiz looks terrible compared to the stock ICS theme.
A JB back camera update was just released, just waiting on a front camera update and everything is set for me to upgrade to CM10.

Does 4.0 on the tab have TouchWiz? I know 3.x didn't. I'm going to try it, if the update ever gets pushed to me. I'm sure I'll use CM10 on mine though.
you may never see official jb. seeing that they're only supposed to support the device for 18 months...
I am running the first version of the Task ICS Rom. Still very stock, but works great. I ran the Task14 HC until then. Love it.
I prefer stock ICS to JB,because it's faster(Quadrant score 2936 compared to JB's 2544) and after all,it's from samsung.chrome doesn't work on my JB yet and FC's are frequent...

With CM10 I get Quadrant around 3500
I'm on CM10(which is really stable!) but Task is trying to port the official ICS up to JB and I think I'll probably rock that one when it's out. I just really want that front camera to work, I could give a crap about the pointless rear one.

I would say just wait some days and we well have front cam, too
I just flashed aosp jb last night and I love it. Ffffuuuuu to the camera, I don't care about it. Its pretty crappy quality anyhow. But I would say that going back to stock to get the update would b worth it. Before u flash the update, make a copy of it on your comp. Or make a backup of it AFTER uve flashed it, so ull have the update at your fingertips if u ever need it, or if u wanna use that as a base to make your own custom ics rom.

IceCream Sandwich vs Jellybean

Hello !!!
Can you tell me something about the differents betwin "IceCream Sandwich" and "Jellybean"
Which is best, what is best for DHD and which is progressing most etc, etc...
I have just have Jellybean so i don't know anything about ICS. Should I change to ICS or not ? I like Jellybean alot but i dont know anything about anyone else...
Please tell me what YOU think about them.

The ICS v. JB thing is covered a lot already elsewhere; the differences are the same for all Android hardware. As for DHD, the ICS ROMs are very stable and mostly feature complete, so they are not progressing as quickly as JB ROMs now. JB ones are also getting very stable and complete, but there are still little bugs here and there.
All thing considered JB is definitively smoother then ICS.
JB devs focused on shortening input->draw lag as much as possible.
I feel that jellybean is much faster than ics. I am comparing the icecoldsandwich and jellytime roms for this.

Yep, IMHO much smoother and faster. Even though it has few bugs, now I just can't go back to ICS after experiencing JB (JellyTime r9.1)
I would say that you can't really compare them as they are different but of course in an ideal world you would say jellybean should be better as it's the upgrade. I think it boils down to personal preference at the end of the day. I am a lover of moving forward with technology and so anything new is good imo (even if it's not good lol)....But others will love Gingerbread, Froyo, ICS or Jellybean for specific reasons be it battery life, look, feel or just that it's what they're used to. You've got to try them all out really before you can decide for yourself...Get flashing
I'm running JellyTime on an Inspire, used IceColdSandwich before. I liked ICS a great deal, but once I flashed JellyTime there's no way I'd go back. I feel like JT runs a bit faster, is definitely smoother, and battery life is roughly comparable.
The whole "which OS is best" thing is highly subjective, and really there's no way to answer it. But for myself, I love JellyTime.
ICS is very stable on DHD.
JB is much more faster that ICS, but has many bugs.
The most important bug is low call quality, it's hard to use it as a daily rom.

Low call quality on what ROM? This has been fixed for quite sometime in almost all the JellyBean ROMs (codefireX, JellyTime, MIUIv4).

Your best bet? Try them all and see what fits. No one person will ever know what you like and don't like except if that person is you. I, like you, and using RB's JellyTime and it works best for me (the bugs are there but it doesn't bother me due to what I use my phone for). That will be different for everyone. Just backup, try out. If you don't like the one you loaded, restore.... and have your charger ready
Currently JellyBean ROM for DHD are smoother because there is no sense on it whereas ICS ROM are less smooth but with sense. OCS Sense ROM are good to use and stable like BlackOut(Sense 3.6) and TrickDroid(Sense 4.0)

Actually, there are non-Sense ICS ROMs. IceColdSandwich and aospX come to mind.
just flashed jellytime....really really fast o.o
Thank you all for your answer...
I already have Jellybean as i wrote and after what i read here i dont see any reason to install ICS... I'm satisfied enough with Jellybean... I just hope they can fix the camera soon...
Again, what's wrong with the camera? It takes decent photos and records in 720p.

I just tried JellyTime R9.1.
It's still there. Maximum volume is too low and sound is noisy.
Release 10 is out and the camera should work
How's the call quality in JellyTime R10?
Using Sabsa 5 at the moment and it's ok in that.
Would like to try the JT 10, but not if the call quality is poor.

No, never had this since 9.1.
As far as camera bugs are concerned, there is a bug that it doesn't auto focus in barcode scanner i.e. not a major thing but still a bug
