[Q] Newbie but I have Flashed a couple of different ROMS

I am running Android 2.2
Kernel is 2.6.32.17
My question is sometimes if I want to try a new ROM i will flash it and for some reason it does not work. Is that because of the Kernel or the version or both? For instance I just tried to install Bakedsnack 1.9 and it would not load. Sorry or the dumb questions just trying to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

It could be a lot of things, but what specifically isn't working? The whole thing? or just a few bugs? It could be the kernal, could have been a bad flash, you might not have wiped everything first, etc.

My guess is the stock htc kernel with baked snack requires an updated radio. After flashing the rom, flash netarchy's kernel in the same recovery session

RoyalGinger is pretty good, it has good battery life and has many themes or you can try my nexus rom if you want a simple vanilla ROM without anything else added.
can you give me a link for easy steps im new to this trying to learn the right way successfully. thank you for your help
just do some research and studying before you start flashing

[Q] 3.2 Build.prop

Could someone do me a favor and post up the build.prop from a stock 3.2 rom? I just upgraded to Thor Transformer with the 3.4 kernel and now there are a few apps that I can't get to install back on the device due to checking errors, so I want the device to look as if it is an A500. Much easier to just edit the build file. Much Thanks.
Attached is the build prop from A500_4.010.40_7.006.03_COM_GEN1

Much Appreciated. Thanks!

Need advise on 3.2 ROM

Hi there,
I am new to the iconia forums but not new to android. I already have a heavily customized Xperia X10.
What I am looking for is a pre rooted stock 3.2 ROM. CWM is installed and works.
I have read so many threads but I am still not sure wich file to use.
It's a A500 with Acer_A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7 ROM. The new one should work in Germany.
Can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance.
Karl
I am running taboonay 2.2 using the latest Thor kernel and am very happy. It is rock solid even overcooked.
Vache has removed most of the bloat, and but offers a kitchen to add back anything you want.
If you are looking for total stock for your locale, and someone else will need to chime in.

Have a look at the DEV section of this forum, read about each ROM, and then decide which one best meets your individual needs, and desires.
He's asking for a STOCK ROM, only that it's pre-rooted. He isn't asking for taboonay or such. Work on reading-comprehension.
well in the dev section there are some rooted stock, you will have to dig a few pages back
heres one one the second page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265847 not sure if you will get any conflict with u being in germany
if u feel adventurous taboonay has always been solid, its built of a acers' rom just adds some goodies for drive mounts and stuff(usefully for plugging in external hard drives
@ snickle
Thanks buddy. But as WereCatf pointed out, I am looking for a stock ROM. But I missed that Kitchen-thingy when I first read that thread. Seems promising. But it requires registering so I didn't look any further in to it so far.
@ kjy2010
Also Thanks to you! I glanced through the dev section. But most of the ROMs have been cleaned by creators in some way. I would like to decide myself. But as there doesn't seem to be such a ROM that I am looking for, I will probably test one or the other custom ROMs.
@ all others
Thank you!

You can always grab a completely stock ROM, install SU, and busybox before installing the ROM on your tab, and you'll have exactly what you want

Is it really that easy? OMG! My brain is so twistet that I think too complicated (more or less). I thought rooting will be gone with every update.
Thanks M8
Karl
Karl, you still have to root and install a recovery (the best method). How else are you gonna be able to flash that rooted stock rom?
Magic wishes???
If you look in the dev section, there is a post for a US based stock rom. What is important, is that it gives instructions on how to do it with your own rom.

I guess I needed to be a bit more explicit with my response. I had no idea he'd take it that way!
I have been lurking the forums for a few weeks now and I have tried a few of the rom in the
Development area. The honeylicus rom is nice just installed kjy2010 version this morning.
Very nice rom . Hope I help some
Rooted Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1
Hi Karl.
For a European Stock Rom 3.2 with root (version Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1) I went here :
xda
http:__forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280457
it is available to download from here
http:__code.google.com/p/acer-a500/downloads/list
and there is even a very good tutorial in German on how to install it :
http:__www.android-hilfe.de/1703451-post1.html
I have been running it for 2 months without a glitch
Hi jodokus77,
thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the GEN1 ROM was apllicable for german region.
What I am going to do next is to receive the OTA 3.2 Update without installing it. Guess it will be placed in the download folder. If it is not a GEN1 or GEN2 ROM, I will root it myself following the instructions in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290318
Karl
Finally I did it as jodokus77 supposed.
Everything is working as expected.
Karl
Ok Karl,
Think some of us were a bit confused with exactly what you wanted
Close, but, no cigar (old phrase) as we say...
Glad you're happy with it!

Any Mods that use T-Mobile G2 trackpad to wake?

I've looked all over XDA for one that will work with stock 2.3.4 rom thats rooted. I've tried the TrackPad Wake Mod and that didnt work. If there is a post for stock 2.3.4 please reply, I don't want to flash CM7, for it is too buggy. Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend checking out my latest G-Lite update. It uses the latest 2.3.4 G2 base, and it absolutely flies. I got TP wake working in my ROM, but you can flash this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/102177/glite_trackpad_wake_mod-signed.zip
and it will enable the feature on any ROM based on the TMO 2.3.4 base.

Ok, so I can just flash via Clockwork? I'll try it. Hopefully it works!
UPDATE
It worked! Thank you soo soo soo much! I didn't want to flash CM7 just for that feature (not saying CM7 is great, cuz it is). Thank you so much!
Thanks for this thread and solution
