UPDATED 18-FEB-2011
==========================
beta 06
==========================
update to gingerbread 2.3.2 - Compiled from AOSP, CyanogenMod, other online sources and I wrote/tweaked/swore a bit too. Coding with gingerbread is like playing a nasty game of whack-a-mole.
now compiling with updated toolchain optimized for tegra / cortex-A9 processors
includes Clemsyn's kernel (Pershoot's works too)
includes gapps and working 3D maps
removed most of the overt CyanogenMod graphics and branding to avoid confusion with their official builds
reverted memory naming: internal storage is emmc, removable sd-card is sdcard. Sorry for the flip but this is the future for tablets. Apps should be reading the mount points properly regardless of the device type or naming scheme.
USB connection (via UMS) mounts to /sdcard and no longer makes the fs unstable (I hope). If you don't have a removable SD card then ADB still mounts to internal storage.
bunch of behind-the-scenes code and framework optimizations for stability, smoothness. Still not as fast as froyo but waaaay better than beta05. YMMV.
Special thanks to the real devs and gurus: clemsyn, gojimi, pershoot, rothnic, roebeet
This will probably be near the end of my involvement with the 2.3 codebase. Tablets like this really need the architectural changes in honeycomb (3.X+) especially real SMP. Also when looking for performance tweaks I keep running face-first into the fact that the PROPRIETARY nvidia drivers {spit on the floor} make their own superchip look like a Z80 on a hot day (yes, it's a Zilog reference. yes, I'm old). Also... There's only one of me.
INSTALLING: READ CAREFULLY AND OBEY.
save the bittrix-beta...zip to your internal memory
use CM .8 and install the zip
when the install finishes, stay in CM... wipe data/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, stay in CM...
install the zip again. Failure to do this means wifi won't work unless you flash a standalone Clemsyn or Pershoot gingerbread kernel.
reboot.
USE NOTES:
First boot may ask what startup to proceed with - either will do - i pick "startup wizard" (it doesn't run the wizard, but you have to pick one...)
The system will feel a bit slow the first time as the system is busy parsing/precompiling the java files. Things get much faster as you use it.
Google app framework is installed. Your best install for the individual apps is to load them yourself from the market. The first-time app picker is hit/miss.
Market won't show installed apps until you buy one.
Camera is borked for now.
This should be considered as an experimental build, with all the usual disclaimers about turning your tablet to slag, crossing the streams, starting a game of global thermonuclear war, etc. It's not an official CM release. Editing the source and messing with the module packaging feels like I just leaned a bit too far down the rabbit hole. Please be patient with me, I have a day job.
Changelog:
19Jan initial release - Compilation from 19Jan CM7 git
21Jan beta02 - new merges, updated kernel, fixed: USB, Angry Birds
22Jan beta03 - newest CM7 base plus first source edits! framework text now displays "tablet" instead of "phone" in spots, fixed camera orientation. Set screen dpi to 120 (match actual panel) from 160.
23Jan beta04 - x-y screen metrics and scaling. Some text should appear visibly sharper now if rendered correctly. Removed cell & phone system files. Internal memory is now /sdcard, removable memory is now /sdext.
PC should now see both internal partitions over USB cable. pull-down menu (drag down the top statusbar) has soft buttons to toggle wifi, bluetooth, location, and sound (CM7 feature).
24Jan beta05 - fixed mount points, changed framebuffer timing to 70Hz, no more cell signal indicator, UI fixes, added "never" screen timeout option, enabled dock settings (can't test, I don't have one, YMMV)
18-Feb beta06 - update to 2.3.2.
without further ado...

RELATED LINKS:
Updated kernel: Clemsyn now supports gingerbread with his kernel builds. Support for most TLA and FLA is included. In the event of issues you can just reflash the bittrix beta. They're at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895825
Updated kernel: Pershoot is cooking up some amazing kernel goodness - I think I saw eye of newt and a stick of dynamite in one of the .conf files his thread is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903505 - he provides the extra functionality modules as separate files, so the more adventurous among you can roll-your-own (so to speak).
Official CM7 Betas: GoJimi's official CM7 beta is going strong. It's mostly from the same codebase and will give you the same look and feel. If you're at all squeamish about trying new builds I recommend using it instead. it's at post#18 in this topic... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10733279&postcount=18
VEGAnTAB: is migrating to a gingerbread base. It's XDA forum is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884103 and GoJimi also runs the projects website at http://vegantab.gojimi.com/
Oh now THIS is gonna be GOOOOOOD.....
Downloading now!
And I was about to go to sleep.....
Hey thanks. Any way you can provide known issues? Is wifi, bluetooth, the g sensor, camera, adobe flash etc working? Also, do you have quadrant scores and screen shots?
Got it flashed. Seems VERY fast.
So far I've noticed the following:
1. Camera is sideways
2. No audio on speakers until I plug/unplug headphones.
3. Phone APKs appear to be loaded? I'm showing a little cell phone signal meter.
4. Wifi works fine.

video please!
1. Also noticed that camera orientation is incorrect.
2. Micro SD properly mounted in /sdcard now.
3. Internal storage is now in /emmc
4. Settings properly shows storage for internal and microsd
5. Can't mount storage on pc
6. Can confirm that 3d Maps is working.
7. Haven't been able to get Quadrant to run completely
8. Wasn't able to restore Angry Birds from Titanium Backup
9. No fancy power off screen animation
First time using Cyanogen Mod, so some of this may already be known.
Legend, thanks!! Giving this a crack now
Edit: As stated in the first post the drive mappings are different - external SD is /sdcard and internal sd is /emmc
This has implications for Titanium Backup when you try to restore your USER DATA (user data only, don't restore system data)
Copy the contents of /emmc/titaniumbackup to /sdcard/titaniumbackup using Root Explorer or similar.
Titanium will now see all of your old backups.
Rockplayer wont play movies in Hardware Decode mode. Software decode mode is jerky.
Coming from VEGAn 5.1 I find this rom a bit laggy
Flash not working on the sites I tested - www.abc.net.au/news/abcnews24/
It's a great first effort and still worth booting up to see it. Might go back to TnT Lite for a bit
bittrix said:
Here goes... My first (successful) attempt at compiling from source. This is Cyanogen Mod 7.0.0RC0 compiled from the latest sources as of this evening. It's a real-live taste of gingerbread This uses Bekit's 2.6.32.9 kernel and brings things up to Android 2.3.1
Use CM .8, wipe data & cache, and install as update. If you're installing over TnT Lite: failure to wipe the user data will give you never-ending tap n touch keyboard FCs.
You'll need to install the market (see below).
This should be considered as an experimental build, with all the usual disclaimers about turning your tablet to slag, starting global thermonuclear war, etc.
It is important to note that my role in this is "guy who compiled other people's source". I am nerd, but neither guru nor dev.

Update: very cool new google apps installer **INCLUDING MARKET** choose the CM7 Tegra builds from
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
WORKING: Google Maps including 3D tilt and coarse (network-derived) location, navigation, speech input, wifi, full market (looks full - YMMV) cool pull-down status bar (like Vegan but thinner), remembers date and time on power off, sleep/wake appears to work, Flash (install from Market)...
ISSUES: Angry Birds won't install, sound may need plug/unplug or widget toggle, no file transfer to PC via USB (won't leave debug mode)...

Regarding the Angry Birds not installing issue - something in the crypto loop device probably isn't working for apps that try to install to SD. That's what Android tries to put on /sdcard (or /emmc in this case? not sure how this gets handled with the changed mount points). Could also be crap in /emmc (specifically, in the .secure or .android_secure, whatever it's called directory) from a prior ROM install that needs to be deleted. Or using a kernel that's not compiled with all the right options (make sure you're using a kernel that's known good from other installs - clemsyn or pershoot's kernels, or the kernel rothnic compiled for Vegan 5.1beta should all be good).
Also Roebeet, Rothnic and Gojii all dealt with the sound issues on TNT Lite and Vegan, so might be worth asking them about how they resolved that.
Not sure about the USB sticking in debug mode issue, you'll have to dig around and figure that one out.
reminds me very much of zpad clean 3, which i love but has auto brightness missing.
however, it seems as if cifs isnt built in. is there a cifs.ko i can insmod in this rom?

Thanks! Knowing where to look is my biggest problem. I really only started this so I could make my USB GPS work in the car, and expect the real devs will be along shortly with stuff that's not so experimental. This is literally the first working OS I've ever compiled
I have installed it and very nice. I am coming from vegan and robeet is really nice and will help. they are working on a new platform right now as well.
Time to start playing.
Thanks for the link!

LOL ROE i was just talking about you..... Yeah its pretty nice Iam at work so i cant play with it but so much but can you make it faster quad scores like 1045. the gapp functions is sweet as well. Plays movies a little choppy but i have to see once i load everything up. USB/sdcard2 detection is good money.
The update.zip is completely ripped out, which is actually quite nice from a modding perspective.
Some of the reported issues are things gojimi / rothnic had dealt with on the VEGAn build, so the fixes might be similar. As for me, I'm all about packaging. Right now I just want to look at this and get a feel for it.
I'm assuming that the big issue is lack of hardware acceleration? I'll know for sure once I test it - this is again something that gojimi wanted to work on once he had his Gingerbread rig setup.
EDIT: Yep, video acceleration is not there. Sounds like this is all still "alpha-code" stuff, so keep that in mind. Just nice to see this next step, but definitely not a replacement for your Froyo build (yet).
Wow bit Great work!!
Cant wait until some of the issues are ironed out which I am sure will be done very quickly with the dev team we have working on this device!
any screen shot or something? Eager minds are waiting..
Congrats on Compiling Your First ROM
Congrats on Compiling Your First ROM! I love seeing others trying there hand at compiling. You can learn a great deal about the Android system and how it operates. That being said. This is not an official release of Cyanogen Mod 7.0.0. We should be careful when posting our non Official releases of CM7 as it can cause confusion for the uninitiated.
Here is a link to the Official BETA 1. http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/update-cm-7.0.0-Beta1-Harmony-signed.zip
This Official ROM still has alot of the same issues as the original ROM but is using the proper kernel, etc. This is brought to you by Bekit and Scepterr and the rest of CM development team (myself included now... though I haven't done anything as of yet.... just got my Development Machine up and running).
Also for the time being until I can get the fix into CM7 this will fix the speakers so they are on at boot. Install it like you would any other app. There is no launcher link to this app... it starts at boot fixes audio and then kills itself till the next boot. http://vegantab.gojimi.com/download/audiofix.apk
Again... Congrats to the original poster for compiling cm7! hopefully we will see you join in on our development discussions!

One thing you could start looking at is merging in the performance pack considering that cyanogenmod is at ~2400 quadrant without it. I am curious if there would be any change if you can get it working with CM.

There's no /lib/hw section -- I wonder if that's a 2.3 change? EDIT: Never mind, brain fart.
Hi,
Since I'm not yet able to post directly into the main thread, I'll post some opinions and experiences here.
The original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364411
Current setup:
ROM: NEXUS MV 2.12.25
Kernel: GLaDOS 2.5 CFS - 3.0.8
So far, great ROM at all.
No reboots, no crashing apps...
But there are some things a bit annoying:
- On the NSTools, the "backlight dimmer" function only disables the capacitive buttons after the selected time, doesn't change anything in the display (I really don't know if it's a bug or not);
- Most of the times (not always) when I press the button to lock screen, after the animation the screen "flashes" and only after that I hear the "click" sound, but I think it's more a kernel issue than a ROM issue;
- The Assasin's Creed Revelations Game doesn't load the Main Menu completely, only the title appears and I can't select anything. I've reinstalled it and the problem still occurs, but I don't know if it's a ROM problem or some crazy incompatibility.
And also I'd like to send my suggestions:
- I've used another ROM (wich I really don't remember exactly what was) with a launcher where there was an option to prevent the apps menu to slide into the widgets, it would be nice to have it here too... (don't know if it can be implemented on ROM or only on the Launcher)
- I miss an option to enable/disable 3G data connection on the top menu of the slider, like CM7.
I can't think on any other thing to add for now...
The ROM is really fast and stable, thumbs up to MarkVis
Keep the good work!
I've noticed some serious problems after updated to NovaLauncher beta 7. Whatsapp hangs many times during use and system says "low RAM" when I try to send pictures via whatsapp.
I've changed back to beta 5 and still had some hangs and crashes.
I really don't know what's the relation between Nova Launcher and Whatsapp, but I'll try the new GLaDOS v.2.8 to see if I have any changes.

please be aware that i only tested this file on the OTA 4.0.3 IML74K Rom!
just Flash from recovery!
any other rom on the same base could work with this zip file, but i don't assist in repairing any other roms!
To get the original framework-res file from your Rom back just extract the framework-res.apk file from the original rom zip and replace the one in my uploaded package!

I've tried it with various versions of GLaDOS kernel and MV ROMs and it doesn't work, my phone hangs at initialization and keep on an infinite loop.
Also doesn't work with AOSP+ ROM, same infinite loop...

This is the intended functionality, to turn off the capacitive buttons LEDs off, not the backlight/SAMOLED for the whole display
- Most of the times (not always) when I press the button to lock screen, after the animation the screen "flashes" and only after that I hear the "click" sound, but I think it's more a kernel issue than a ROM issue;
Common problem with the brief flash while locking, most people have it and i'd imagine some a bit worse than others. The click and similar sounds on my Nexus S have always lagged to some extent, nothing has changed for me (though i turn all of this off anyway).
- The Assasin's Creed Revelations Game doesn't load the Main Menu completely, only the title appears and I can't select anything. I've reinstalled it and the problem still occurs, but I don't know if it's a ROM problem or some crazy incompatibility.
Lots of apps are still not updated (or won't be updated) for ICS, something which we may have little to no control over. This sounds like one such issue.
And also I'd like to send my suggestions:
- I've used another ROM (wich I really don't remember exactly what was) with a launcher where there was an option to prevent the apps menu to slide into the widgets, it would be nice to have it here too... (don't know if it can be implemented on ROM or only on the Launcher)
Pretty sure some launcher replacement apps can do that, and roms like CM9 alpha probably offer this.
- I miss an option to enable/disable 3G data connection on the top menu of the slider, like CM7.
Extended Controls and Widgetsoid provide this functionality in nearly the same way as CM7/CM9
I can't think on any other thing to add for now...

Guess those ROMs have some modifications which break that stock framework file, the same one works perfectly on my stock ICS. I'm sure the updated file will be added into some ROMs as standard soon.

Yeah, I've noticed some things of your answer after a good time reading... hehehe
And at some part of the main threads (need to search again), somebody posted about how to end the screen flash after pressing the lock button, I've just didn't tested yet.
But thanks for the reply, I keep reading the threads and testing almost every new ROMs released to see if the deep idle correction is already implemented or not hehehe
That's just a bluetooth fix though, if you turn bluetooth off deepidle should work perfectly fine. This would only really be a problem for you if you use a bluetooth earpiece, headset or car loudspeaker.
I always keep bluetooth and gps disabled unless I need them, but even this way I only got the TOP=ON deep idle, not TOP=OFF.
That's why I was trying that fix
I'm starting to think that's the GTalk's camera thing...
Hi all, Just got a Nook HD+ on sale. I know it isn't the newest, shiniest piece of gadgetry and I don't really care. So far I'm digging it, I really like the different aesthetic. (Who puts a hole in the corner of their tablets?!.. really?) and aside from rooting it, which I try to do to every android device I get right off the bat. What else is there?
I see there are a few 10.1/2/3 ROM's out there but what are the actual benefits compared to just using the stock ROM? Also, is there any custom kernels floating around? I'm always a fan of messing with kernel stuff like undervolting/overclocking/governor tweaks/etc.
I think your answers are in each rom development thread. But I'd say cm 10.2 (I didn't try cm 10.1) is much more responsive than stock. I didn't find any kernel out there besides those inside the roms.
I suggest getting the most recent RC3 release of CM 10.1 and in performance settings, set transparency to 16bit and purge assets.
That seems to be the best overall combo.
10.2 has no apparent benefit for the HD+ as far as performance. The trim function has been disabled since not Nook flash friendly for a lot of units and OpenGL 3 is not supported by the chipset in the HD+.
Hmm, OK, ok...
I could have sworn I saw a post here talking about using 10.3 but lurking through the dev thread I don't see it anywhere. I'll keep looking.
Are the nook apps usable on CM roms? I know the launcher won't be but is it possible to use just the reader, library, etc? Thanks for the response guys! Also, anyone familiar with using CM on the Nook, do Hulu, Vudu, Netflix all work also the HDMI-out and bluetooth? These are all things I use and can't lose.
UPDATE: Oh, my bad, the post says "10 1.3" which is a little confusing and I saw it as 10.3

Im new to Tablets (only have a Nook HD+ for acouple weeks ) but not flashing.
Just installed CM 10.1.3 (last night)
One thing which i was after (and the main reason for me) was USB thumbdrive support/storage (link about it) and that worked great.
After, i did install the B&N "store" app (the green 'n' app) and it installed fine (had to install it via .apk found out side of the Google Play (dont know if i can post links to apps at this forum)). With that 'n' app, you can shop the B&N site along with reading a book. Will look later tonight and see if i can install there library app.
Dont know about HDMI (am wondering the same - but not a big deal for me).
As for bluetooth, i tried a Logitech MX5000 ("desktop") keyboard just to see what happens, they made the hand-shake and connected but nothing after that... i did not try too hard though... just wanted to see what would happen. That keyboard is the only bluetooth "device" i have.

I'm pretty sure posting it would be fine because it isn't a paid app and is freely available. If you still leery you could IM it to me, I'd like to give it a try. I have the HDMI adapter and it worked fine with the stock ROM but I'm only getting a blank screen on the TV with 10 1.3. I've read it is working though so I am going to tweak it a little bit to see what the deal is.

I'm in the same boat, just got a new Nook HD+ (came free with my car). I used the stock ROM for a day or so, pretty fast but limited in scope. I've installed CyanogenMod 10.1.3 using the instructions from the dummies thread, it ran fine for about half a day and now suddenly performance is awful. Animations lag, trying to change the settings lags, there's input lag, I have to wait 1-2 seconds for the keyboard to come up, 2-3 seconds to tap on different sections in Settings. I thought maybe I installed too many apps so I tried to wipe it but I can't. "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM still leaves crap behind, Factory data reset in Settings does the same. Now I have 6 GB left of 12.67 GB and nothing installed. Is there any way to fully remove everything?
Edit: some exploration with du in terminal revealed two huge folders, Android/data and Android/obb. Sure enough, there's my missing 6 GB. How does this not get deleted? Does reset mean something else in Android than other mobile operating systems?

Those folders are in your media (sdcard) folder and media does not get wiped in a factory reset. In CWM you need to go to mounts and storage and format 'data and datamedia' in order to wipe your media.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
I love my Nook HD+ and that is after trying a Samsung Note 8, a Nexys 2013 and others. Really for the prize you can't beat it!
I have tried pretty much every ROM there is here in XDA both from SDCard and emmc. For my Nook HD+ in particular nothing beats the Stock ROM with Unknown Sources and Root. I also tried Nova, Apex, SPB, Smart, Go EX, and AWD launchers in their Pro versions but the only one that was really fast and had no lagging at all was Next Launcher and that is the one I have know on my HD+.
To be able to use USB OTG (not needed on CM 10 thanks to verygreen) on Carbon, Slim, etc., I used the usbhostswither.apk that is included on Xperia Carbon JB, installed it and worked great. I haven't been able to installed it on my HD+ even with root and unknown sources enable, it gives me a parsing app error. Trying to see if I can installed it and if it workd to turn on and off USB Host on Stock Rom with root.
I tried and now use 3 apps from the forum that really rock, FX Explorer, Gallery Plus and WebSharing Lite.
You are gonna have a blast with your HD+ and now that some at XDA have started to test and port Ubuntu Touch to it, well you won't be without a whole lot of options to mess with your Nook :laugh:

Hi leapinlar and community, first thanks for all your contributions, they have enable the Stock Rom to be a great alternative for those of us that like many of it features.
I have a problem installing the USBHostSwitcher app on the HD+ rooted and with unknown sources enabled. The weird thing is that I was able to install and use the app successfully when testing emmc Carbon Rom JB and Xperia Tweeked for HD+. I was also able to installed it to other devices like my Galaxy Note II (stock, not rooted).
The Nook installer error on HD+ reads " Parse error" "There is a problem parsing the package".
Is there a way to create a package so I can flash an app (like we do with the Google Apps?
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Even if you can get it to install, I'm not sure it will work on stock. I know verygreen had to mod the kernel to make it work. And I think all the other ROMs like Carbon, etc, use his kernel.

[ROM][P7320/P7320T][JB 4.1.2] Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 [2013-12-22] "FINALLY"
THIS ROM IS FOR GT-P7320 AND GT-P7320T ONLY! JUST LIKE nrvate's CM10 ROM FOR THE i957, THIS ROM COULD EAT YOUR INCOMPATIBLE DEVICE AS IT DOES NOT DO A DEVICE CHECK.
This is a Jellybean 4.1 / CM10 ROM for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE aka the P7320 or the P7320T.
The hardware in this tablet is almost identical to the SAMSUNG i957, except for the data partition being hosted on mmcblk0p28 instead of mmcblk0p26. First I tried converting the other builds, e.g. nrvate's work on the P7320, which worked well. Alas, I have decided a fresh build would be interesting. This build will probably stay at CM10/JB4.1 for now as the p5att variant has disappeared from the msm8660 source for JB 4.2.
You will need a CWM recovery to flash this, e.g. this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122

Google Apps: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Install the ROM ZIP and GAPPS ZIP at the same time if you like. Also the first boot may appear to be hung but it will take a short while - don't panic due to the lack of boot animation!
Latest changes:
Touchscreen sensitivity increased + source updates from P7300/P7310
Battery/charging code updates from offical samsung ICS source
Custom additions:
Use the Adreno GPU for 2D rendering - greatly improves performance in the stock browser and launcher, and especially in landscape mode due to our screens being rotated 90 degress in software
smartassV2 governor - you can enable this in Settings -> Performance
USB charging and notification
Enable saving of blocked attachments (e.g. zip files) from the email app (from CM10.1)
Touchscreen sensitivity increased
What is working:
Screen
Speakers / Audio
Wifi
3g/4g
Bluetooth
Camera (front, back, stills mode only)
Tethering
USB charging and notification
What is not working:
Automatic brightness
Camera for video (video - wrong aspect ratio, changing resolution cases crash in app)
Vibration (works but is weak and only sends the start and finish signals)
Boot animation doesn't display 90% of the time
Charging bug while turned off, you may need to unplug the cable to turn back on
Wifi Direct
HDMI out + probably anything that uses the dock port except for USB and charging
+ Lots more that I don't know about yet

I've tested merging the USB charging changes in and it seems like it will be possible, but I will need to make another build. Will look at doing that later in the week.
The good news is, however, while running the tablet off USB, even without the patch, it appears to do some sort of charging, as shown in the "Settings->Battery" screen. So it might be more that the notification of charging, and potentially the "force charging" (which might be required for some devices), is missing.
I've been busy trying to get CM10.1 (JB4.2) booting properly on this device. Currently get ADB starting up, no display working, so not sure about what else.
If anyone who has been working on android/cm ROM development would like to help out please let me know as it's very very new to me !
New version 20131214
Hi all,
New version up that shows USB charging status.
Also the previous change to use the adreno GPU in 2D mode didn't take any affect, I've fixed that and added some more GPU related tweaks.
You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B48JIYNc4wvsM1U2b0lCbmZ6S0E/edit?usp=sharing
I also have a new kernel for testing some touchscreen behaviour.
Here is the flashable zip:
cm-10-20131214-UNOFFICIAL-p7320.kernelupdate.zip (use File -> Download from Google drive)
It has some more "up to date" files from the Samsung ICS tree, but I'm not sure if they are having any effect.
If you want to quickly roll back to the original kernel for comparisons, here it is:
cm-10-20131214-UNOFFICIAL-p7320.kernel.zip (use File -> Download from Google drive)
I'll probably keep the updates in there but I'd like a second opinion to see if I've made any difference at all

I've merged this attachment unblocking feature in the next build.
Also... is anyone having trouble with charging? Sometimes my tab won't charge past about 60-70% overnight. A reboot or charging while turned completely off seems to fix it... if others are having problems with it I might look into it further.
New version, includes saving of blocked attachments (e.g. zip files) from the email app (from CM10.1). Also the init logo now displays, before the boot animation does. Still pot luck as to whether the boot animation will display.

I have downloaded the XDA omni rom for A500:
Freshly built Android 4.4.2 ROM based on Omnirom KitKat !
"The Team 'IconiaHD' is proud to present a new ROM for your Acer A500 or A501 tablet.
This small team is composed of:
- HenrikE: A200 owner, responsible for an unofficial CM-10.2 build for the A200
- Doume: A200 owner, experienced linux developer
- macia10: A501 owner, tester"
The omni rom installs easily using TWRP ver 2.7 by Thor. Once I followed the OP recommendations all stages in the installation were clear. The rom runs well after the second and third boot. I even used ART. Here is my take so far: rom is fast and smooth. Browsers load pages fast, even high image content sites (CNN). Videos on youtube work flawlessly, wifi signal is very strong. I was able to load all my apps and have them run well. A very nice and responsive rom on the acer a500. Google play store works right off the bat. A few minor issues though: google music play app has a bit of chopping of the music playback. Netflix did not work for me as the app would force closed on me. I tried the netflixfix as recommended by the OP but it did not work either ( I am waiting for the next fix as suggested by the OP). Other than those two minor issues I can't wait to try the updated versions of this omni rom as it adds a new life to this acer a500. I am very happy to see that there are developers who continue to get value for us by implementing optimized roms on the a500. Thank you for your great work.:good::good::good::good:

Further Update on XDA OMNI for Acer a500 (unofficial)
I have been running this rom for the past few weeks. Here is what I have noticed. I hope that this will help further the development of the rom. I am attaching the logcat information.
a). Recent update from Google Play Music fixed the audio glitches I was having before.
b). Chrome Browser runs well has problems playing videos, causes browser FC (flash issue?). Lightening Browser works well.
c). Occasional window change results in zoomed icons in the apps section.
d). Netflix still FCs.
e). Network Location works on my Acer A500.
f). Youtube works without any issues.

Thanks for the report! Interesting that network location works for you. It seems to work sometimes and sometimes not, would be nice to figure out why..
The latest versions of netflix don't work, even with the fix applied. Try version 3.1.2 instead: http://gsmandroidapps.com/download-netflix-3-1-2-build-1142-apk/
I haven't seen the problem with zoomed icons, does it happen often?

You're welcome. The Netflix 3-1-2 build works after installing and subsequently rebooting! Thank you. The zoomed icons happens infrequently and occurs only when I go into the apps windows from the home screen. It seems to be more of a lag issue when switching windows. I installed Apex launcher and the lag has decreased significantly. In addition, the zoomed icons are no longer present.... so far. I have decided to use Dalvik runtime as the Art function is not compatible with some of my apps.

omni rom for acer A501 by HenriKe
I have tried to flash this ROM several times andi keep having issues. I am on Acer 501.
Op still says to use the 4-27 build for 501 as the 4-29 build has issues.
Issues I have at multiple force reboots. (Kernel panics). Also if data is enabled then WiFi will not connect. I know I should have saved the last_kmsg but just sipped and restored previous ROM.
Still waiting for the fixed 501 version to be posted.
As stated here = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52709444&postcount=109
Some tweaks that make this Rom smooth.
I would like to suggest the following tweaks that will make your experience with this rom smoother. Make sure you have a complete backup of your a500 current system. Use these at your own risk.
Before installing rom:
1. Wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, "real format" data (very important).
Installation:
2. Install rom, install mini-gapps, install super user
3. Boot up rom. Set up Wifi, Set up Google play services.
4. Reboot.
5. Make a complete back of your new omni rom.
Tweaking:
6. Use "interactive"; "sio", "set on boot"
7. Set cpu to max to 1200 Mhz and min to 456 Mhz
8. Reboot
9. Install Nova or ADW launcher. Have at least 3 screen windows . Set look and field to “faster than light” (Nova)
10. Install "prop builder" editor
11. Edit the prop file as follows (see attached image):
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree
12m
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize
12m
12. Reboot.
13. Run a benchmark app and compare. I got an Antutu score of 9036 (see attached image) up from 7700. Overall system is more responsive.
14. If all goes well, make another backup with a different name.
Good Luck and enjoy.

I think you have a typo. dalvik.vm.heapsize cannot be set to 12m or it won't boot. Maybe you mean from 384mb to 128mb ?

Problem waking up
Hi,
I installed this ROM, and everything seems to be working well, expect waking the device from sleep.
It sometimes happens, after the tablet is not used for a while and is sleeping, that the power led is on (white), but the screen is black. If you try to wake the device by pushing the power button, nothing seems to happen. The only option is to power it down by holding the power button, and powering up again. Very annoying!
The device is not docked and not connected to mains power.
I disabled daydreaming, and it seems to happen less frequently, but not 100% sure.
I suspect it has something to do with the tab waking up by itself to do some syncing, and somehow getting stuck.
Any ideas?
How can I try to debug this?
Any help appreciated!
You have the infamous Sleep of Death (SOD). It is/was a common problem with certain a500 motherboards. I don't have the SOD issues.
You should contact the XDA iconia HD development team at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705989
I am still a junior member and I don't have privilege to post on their blog, yet.
You may try these (make a back up of you current omni rom first):
1. Ensure that the wifi is kept on during sleep. Go to Advanced settings in the wifi options. Click on check box to set scanning always available.
2. Edit the buildprop file to set the wifi_supplicant_scan_interval to 0 sec.
Cons... decrease in battery life. May not be a significant amount.
If the above settings don't work for you, check the links below.

Thanks for the advice.
I'm also still junior, so I can't post there either
I never had any SOD issues before, not with the stock ICS and the 3 other ROMs I tried before.
Putting scanning always available didn't solve it, but haven't tried the buildprop yet.
Problem is that is is very intermittent: sometimes the tab runs for about 3 days without hanging, then it happens within the hour...

Awesome. I noticed also that sometimes the screen does not come on with one single press of the power button (most of the times it does) when the Acer a500 is asleep. Sometimes, you just have to watch the power button and press until the white light comes on and the screen comes alive (there is no reboot, it just takes you back to the lock screen). I use to think that it was an sod but all is well.

I'm seeing the same thing: the tab won't come alive and I think "****, an SoD again", so I press long to force a power off, and after a few seconds, the screen comes alive! Weird...
For the rest: awesome ROM, much better than the previous one I tried (don't remember exactly which one it was)!

I would like to suggest the following tweaks that will make your experience with this rom smoother. Make sure you have a complete backup of your a500 current system. Use these at your own risk.
Before installing rom:
1. Wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, "real format" data (very important).
Installation:
2. Install rom, install mini-gapps, install super user
3. Boot up rom. Set up Wifi, Set up Google play services.
4. Reboot.
5. Make a complete back of your new omni rom.
Tweaking:
6. Use "interactive"; "sio", "set on boot"
7. Set cpu to max to 1200 Mhz and min to 456 Mhz
8. Reboot
9. Install Nova or ADW launcher. Have at least 3 screen windows . Set look and field to “faster than light” (Nova)
10. Install "prop builder" editor
11. Edit the prop file as follows (see attached image):
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree
12m
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize
12m
12. Reboot.
13. Run a benchmark app and compare. I got an Antutu score of 9036 (see attached image) up from 7700. Overall system is more responsive.
14. If all goes well, make another backup with a different name.
Good Luck and enjoy.

Just had my recovered A500 setup as you mentioned... Yes, it's running OK.
However, AnTuTu (v 5.7.1) just keep failing...after it ran up to around 75-76 %. What ver. of AnTutu are your running (since I notice your screen looks slightly different from mine)?
I found this ROM to be the most stable ROMS available for the A500.
