[Q] Two Questions (3G and the Better ROM) - Acer Iconia A500

Hello people,
The fisrt question:
I wanna know if there's a way to connect the A500 to the internet, using a 3G USB Modem (Custom ROM or 3G module or any other mode) and HOW to do it...
The second question:
What's the best ROM in your opnion (if it has 3G, would it be better)?
Well, That's all...
Thanks people... ^^

Up...

Not sure if this is what you want...

I don't even know if it is supported on the newer roms and bootloaders.
As far as the roms? I'd check out civato's flexreaper roms, they are awesome. He also has a guide to put on the ICS bootloaders as well.
If all else fails just keep reading and snooping around the threads, your bound to find what your looking for

Need a little Clarifiction

Hi all,
I was wondering for a while now, I followed the Unlckr guide on how to root my HTC Hero, but I didn't really get when the rooting stopped and the cooked ROM began.
So, breaking it down: -
What is the Cyanogen Recovery Image for? Is that just so we can enable the custom ROMs?
Putting in the new ROM, does that then mean my phone is then rooted? If I put in another Stock ROM (as I still haven't found a Donut update for Hero anywhere yet), will it be unrooted again?
What does Rooted mean anyway?
Many thanks if you can answer any or all these questions, I'm eager to know what I actually did
Take it no one knows or cares to clarify?
You might have better luck if you post this in the Q&A section. However, I reckon you'll find the answers you're looking for if you use the search.

HowTo flash the HD Mini/still working after all?!

hi guys!
im all new to this, my HD mini is my first smartphone, and because i have a big affintiy on technical issues, like flashing a custom rom in my mobile device, i am posting right here
As far as i was getting to know, i will need SSPL for flashing a ROM on my device. if i want to make my custom ROM (just removing some things like copilot etc) i gotta use osKitchen. so far, so good.
but my real question is:
my phone provider is A1 mobilkom (i am from austria).
if i would flash my ROM, am i still able to use my phone correctly? because in another thread (dont find anymore this post), one guy wasnt able to find his normal GSM network after flashing another ROM (those shipped ROMs, you know hwat i mean.) ok, things like internet setting for correct UMTS connection can be set after all (access point name, pw etc etc).
is this linked to this radio part, everybody's talkin about?
whats the connex between flashing the ROM and this radio part? i read a lot on this issue for the last few days, but i didnt gain more knowledge on this, therefore i am asking now with this here.
i dont wanna run into troubles, so i am asking you guys for your opinion.
so far
greets from styria
PS thx for all the work for the community!

[Q] where do I start?

Hi guys, I was just about to flash my tab to gain some features and updates and I was about to use RomManager but couldn't find my model of tab on it.
So I started my search and came cross a number of threads that talk about flashing different parts of the firmware.
e.g. making voice calls (I'd love this but i'm with optus australia and they block... )
A kernel flash ..... sounds nice
a filesystem change
all of these sound great and I have been searching but I really don't know what is for general useage in the roms or what is specific to australian roms...
I just don't want to brik my rom....
any help
cheers
Are you willing to flash Euro ROM? I thought JM6 (can't even remember if this was Euro ROM) was the greatest, then JME.
I'm using RichardTrip OC Kernel+ext4 on JMI now and few things are broken: call volume is very small when turning it up pass 75%. If you go back to 75% it's louder LoL. Others mention video laggy. Other also suggest to go all the way to Modaco ROM. Oh, bluetooth is broken as well (when I was running Modaco kernel+JME ROM but Paul mentioned something about because the old ROM so he suggested switch to newer ROM).
If you want to convert to ext4, use Modaco kernel Jan/2x date. It's very easy. Just READ the steps and have good Roto backup to your PC first.
So there you have it. YMMV

Interesting_ well it's at least a place to start got lot's of searching terms now
so are the roms realesed based on performance and features since this is Linux we're talking about, I imagine that a major part of the difference is back-end as opposed to my old HTC trinity which replaced functionality as opposed to doing too much back end enhancements - Is this right? is there a list of features each rom has ?
cheers
It's probably best you go check out the "Developers" section. When someone posts a new ROM they usually give you a list of features.
Try reading the entire thread so that you can see if others are happy with the ROM or what issues they're having. After this, you can make an informed decision on which ROM to flash.
which order do we flash in?

yes but what is the next step - what rom do i need? A system rom, A kernel a firmware fix - or rather, so I don't brick the phone what order should these be done in I think that is a better question
I have already rooted the phone , made some symlinks to add functionality so i'm kinda noobish to linux but I can catch on
cheers for any more help
I have also not yet flashed anything, because I don't have a need to as yet. But if I were to flash any ROM it would be the MoDaCo ROM with an OC'd kernel. That seems to be most peoples ROM of choice as it keeps the device looking as stock as possible with a good performance enhanced backend by changing the FS type to ext4 (which is faster than the current FS) and obviously a faster processor speed. CWM is also added for good measure. This allows you to flash certain zImages and have a more robust recovery menu.
Hope that helps.

[Q]Qestion about coocked ROMs (Taboonay)

Hello, I think this is one of my firsts post (maybe not the first) in XDA, althought I was registrered and following discussions several months ago now
I have a Liberty Tab (from Packard Bell) which is exactly the same that the ACER Iconia Tab A500.
I was happy enough with my tablet, nonetheless I missed some functions, so I decided to install a coocked rom on it.
I tried Thor Toshiba Thrive v1.1, which was nice (specially because it has many apps from different roms) but too many FC and very slow, at least in my case.
Then after reading other many posts, I decided to try Taboonay (installing first v1.1 and then 2.0) and it works really well, I like it. I just miss some games that were pre-installed on my tablet when I bought it (like Hero of Sparta, Lets Golf,...) but I will download from Aptoide, so no problem hehehe
FINALLY, my question is HOW to get the 3G USB modem (from Huawei) workingon this rom? does anyone know how to configure it?
I could do it with Thor Toshiba Thrive rom, and now I want to do the same in here... but for the moment no way.
I don't find the answer in the forum, neither can post in developpers forums yet... so pleeeeeease help!
Thanks in advance!!!
It's me again, and still not able of making the 3G USB modem work.
I cannot post into the Developpers forum, so please if anyone can, do it for me. I want to use my tablet with 3G again! hehehe
Thanks in advance!

it's the post I was reading, but it's toooooo long
I will try to find something again :-(
thanks in any case

Hmmm, if you don't reckon the differences between FroYo and GingerBread, it's probably not usefull to change ROM...
AFAIK there are several threads about rooting your Tab
Most ROM's are stable and fast, I personally prefer those made by AF974. Mind you, his latest ROM/kernel isn't supported anymore while he joined the Hyperdroid. You might get lucky there...

sorry but my english....i know the difference between froyo and gingerbread.
And my question was not complete. I´m from argentina and my tab is gsm (with chip) P1000L (or N) i dont remember, lol.
i read a post about cant change rom is the tab are from latinamerica or something.
Can i use the roms from afaik in my tab?
And More questions, worth it the upgrade, really change the tab perfomance
(when i start to use, the roms from Erickwill in my Xperia, the phone speeds up about 500% lol)
I will check other ways to root it, thanks about it.

Hola!
It is definately worth flashing a ROM. I think you are right that there are certain limitations with the P1000L/N - there is lots of information on here so get searching...
Have a look at the Hyperdroid thread, it might work for you, but check with your Tab version first.
