Well this goes round in circles !
Anyway, I just logged on to report the same thing happening. I have been using the ICS+ browser and its been great, the odd occasion when it would shut down but now both it and the stock browser close after a few seconds of browsing.
Note this is not a force close, the browser just disappears with no warning. I have done all the usual, clear cache, reinstall etc, even uninstalled Flash but no change.
This started happening a few days ago.
Running stock ICS on A500, all vanilla.
Any clues?

Shake City got me wondering Have family there, visit often.
I have found that Firefox seems to work OK as well as Chrome but of course no Flash with Chrome.
A bit hesitant to install custom stuff in case I break something unless there is a simple, idiot-proof method?

Ahh yes...the quakes....thank god the aftershocks are lessening, we had 8 days without one!! Such a shame the city has changed 4eva....however, it could have been much worse...hope yr family got thru it all OK...
There are plenty of guides around, all pretty much idiot-proof as long as u can read and follow the steps as written...the drivers are the biggest issue as long as the Acer ones and Google ones are installed u should be all good. If u flash a stock rom u will need root access first - for custom roms this isn't necessary.
Unlocking the bootloader will also flash cwm at thesame time. You'll need yr HC cpuid ax well...check my cpuid guide in sig, lots of useful info in there....good luck?

I was having the same problem over the weekend. I thought it was something I had screwed up so I reinstalled ReFlexxx and did a real format. Still had problem so then tried restoring app+data from an older titanium backup and so far has been working fine.

I have reflex also I'll reinstall and see how that works if that doesn't work then I'll restore my pics browser

Friend with a stock A200 has just reported the same problem, stock browser keeps quitting. Something funny going on here.

The only thing that helpped me was clearing browsers cache. After that browser stopped crashing.
On the other hand chrome makes my tablet restart it selfe or stop rendering as soon as I open 2 tabs or more.

Cm7 is garbage

Swype installer installs swype but the swype feature does not work.
My 3rd flash of it to see if it gets any better btw.
All my gameloft games will not install through either titanium or my download list on their site because of bookmarks not matching up.
I get constant google framework FC's after cm7 "settles in" for a few hours.
I cant get into rom manager without FC's.
I am not a noob. This is my 3rd time flashing it on a t959. I never had a single problem on my g1 or original mytouch.
Im willing to sack my gps to have 2.3 but wtf? Im flashing correctly, i know i am. I let her sit for a bit, reboot a few times to clean everything up. Go to the market, let it do its thing installing everything. Wait. Reboot. Titanium backup, restore missing apps with data, ALWAYS GET PROBLEMS PARSING PACKAGE for gameloft and others [pisses me off so ****ing much, i cussed, deal with it]. wait, reboot, setup widgets and other settings, and reboot one more time until i finally not enjoy gb because of all the aforementioned bugs. Tell me im not the only one who is raging hard that cm7 performs like garbage, i cant be the only one.
Inb4: condescending responses, if u cant help or contribute positively then do not post. This is to help me and anyone else in my boat with their cm7 experience.

I dont know why ur having so many probs! i just flash back to stock odin 2.1 to get rid of any ghosts of roms from past and root it then install rom manager premium and download cm nightlies and ur done. First install of cm7 i always do wipe data but after that i dont and i havent had one problem yet and ive been doing nightlies since #4. So just because ur having probs no reason to call it garbage! Plus with all the work they put into i wouldnt appreciate someone calling all my hard work trash!
questions:::
are u part of swype beta? if ur not it wont work!
"Titanium backup, restore missing apps with data, ALWAYS GET PROBLEMS PARSING PACKAGE"---- THEY TOLD u not to restore apps with data as it may mess with things on this.
have u gone into sgs tools and clicked on market fix to fix any fcs on market like ur gameloft?
Do u click all three when they ask u if u want do wipe data and wipe dalvik and backup rom? on ur first cm 7 install u should click on all 3 to be safe of all probs.
Sorry for the garbage title. I was angry when i started the thread.
I am part of the swype beta.
I did every step incling the wipes. Everytime i get the same issues stated in my OP. i am missing something. I just dont know what it is.

I'm also having troubles with cm nit recognizing my internal memory....
what do you mean swype feature does not work? you have the swype keyboard enabled, but when you trace a word the keyboard boarders flash blue and type nothing? you can't even get to the swype keyboard? you have errors on install?
do you have the newest installer (they auto update now, but that is a relatively new feature).
also, which cm nightly are you flashing?
Swype is working great for me.
It didn't when I restored it via TB. When I installed via the beta installer, it worked perfectly.
You are doing something wrong.

I was under the impression that you are supposed to restore apps WITHOUT data via titanium. I could be wrong but that is what I have done, and I have had no trouble with my apps.
wipe/format boot, system, data, cache. Install the rom, wipe dalvik, factory reset then turn on your phone, let the phone set for 5 minutes then reboot into recovery (NOT THROUGH ADB). Then install Gapps and let the phone settle and then you should be good. When install things via tit-b do not restore system apps. For some applications if you are getting f/c's uninstall them, fix perms on the rom via Rom Manager then reboot. After restore the apps getting f/cs but only the app not the data (tough loss). You should be good.

Then don't use it. Jesus Christ.
I had many of the same issues you are having. Finally said "screw it" and went back to a 2.2.1 ROM and I'm feeling happy bout it. I miss the gtalk FFC integration, but otherwise not missing CM7. Frankly I've had issues with CM7 on my G1, my Hero and now the Vibrant. It's just never been reliable.
But that doesn't mean you need to start a *****-fest thread about it. Cmon now.....

If the apps were backed up under 2.2 and you are restoring them to 2.3 then that is your problem. Don't ask me why but I had to download all my apps again because none of the backups I made under 2.2 would work under 2.3. Try downloading the apps from the market instead of using Titanium. Keep in mind this ROM is still in the very early stages but other than GPS and the call mute/unmute thingy it runs flawless for me so I am inclined to believe you may be doing something wrong and I suspect Titanium might be to blame.
Thread should be called - USER ERROR leads to garbage
I have been using CM7 for a while now and haven't experienced any of the noob issues you have mentioned. I'm not calling you a noob because of your lack of execution. I'm calling you a noob because you pulled a noob move and basically said that a rom that is marked experimental, is causing you grief and furthermore it sucks. CM7 happens to be a fast and an extremely stable rom if you know what you're doing. It sounds to me like you aren't using TB the right way or something. It's guys like you that make what few devs we have left want to leave.
The first time I tried cm7 I fell in love!!! I had never look back at any other rom. I still don't understand why people are still making and porting 221 roms when cm7 is almost perfect and
Honeycomb!!! Is out already. I just don't get it.
When there is SO much #Fail in a thread, XDA cries.
Wow you have to be joking, you have errors caused by your stupidity, and you have the audacity to call cm7 garbage? If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't even be here on Gingerbread. Don't be an idiot, think before you post.
a g1 runs 2.1 really crappy concidering it is using a modified nexus kernel, unless there is source for the phone for the version you are on it will never be 100 percent perfect
issues? well...

there's still no excuse. i get pissy too but you dont see my ass coming on the boards and bashing. keep that crap to yourself cause no one on here wants to hear it. your issues are simple enough. either you didnt wipe your device while installing or you did something that only a n00b would do.
i have problems too but known problems such as GPS. you dont hear me whining about it like a little *****.
CM7 rocks!!
I found that build #20 messed up all of my user data/apps and had to start fresh (ODIN, etc). Of course a Nandroid back-up would have probably solved my app issues so next time try backing up before attempting anything crazy . Even TB didn't work when trying to reinstall (there was an update to TB that may have solved my problems I never tried it). Learning everyday about my phone and loving CM7 every step of the way! Good luck.
By the way I too am a SWYPE beta user; just had to re-initialize the installer with their emails and I was good to go.

Is there a way to access Apps on a soft-bricked phone?

I'm stuck at the boot-screen of Deck's 1.2 rom, however, I can still access HBOOT and Clockwork Mod Recovery.
I don't see an explicit option, but is there a way I could access Apps or other data to save as a back-up?
I foolishly deleted my rom back-up, and last time I used Titanium Backup was a few weeks ago, so it's not a good option. Thanks!

As long as the .zip for the ROM doesn't wipe /data, you could reflash "Deck's 1.2 ROM hopefully fixing your issue and not losing your apps.

I just tried that and it didn't work either. This is maddening.
The last thing I remember doing was tinkering with the lockscreen settings in the advanced settings. I set up a rotary revamped lockscreen with Dolphin Browser HD as my custom application. I have Dolphin saved to SD too, but I don't see why such a small thing would cause constant bootloops.
It ran fine before 1.2 stable and messing with the lockscreen.

Nothing you've said you have done explains a boot loop.

That's a good idea. I usually just use Titanium backup when I'm doing a full wipe or flashing a ROM with significant updates, but since I'd been using Deck's for a while and having no issues whatsoever really and just updating incrementally, I didn't think to backup in a while.
I had actually backed-up the ROM prior to flashing 1.2 stable, but I needed to delete it to make room to back up the newer version, and I didn't think it'd be a big deal since it was stable for a few boots. I guess I got too comfortable.
This is ridiculous, I didn't make any changes to the ROM or flash any new radios or anything of the sort that should cause a bootloop.
I do also use the Theme Manager MattedBlues theme but I've been using that for over a week or so with no issues, so I doubt that's the cause.
Oh well, thanks for the ideas though.

Sorry I took my Xanax to sleep or else I'd likely be able to think of some kind of solution.
Hopefully someone else can help you out.
I think in CWM if you mount System&Data /apps you could utilize adb pull..... Also did you set up any custom partitions, a2sd, data2ext, ect... ?

Actually thanks for the suggestions guys, I managed to dig up an older version of the rom saved on my downloads folder and flashed it and booted.
For some odd reason, an older release labeled as experimental works better than the 1.2 stable...
It's strange too because I looked around Deck's thread and no one else reported any problems similar to what I was having at all.
For all intents and purposes it appears to be very stable and functional for everyone BUT me
Thanks for the suggestions though. I guess I'll hold off on flashing any roms for a while or wait for a newer version and try flashing with a full wipe.
Cool glad you got her going.
Kaaameeehameeehaaaaaa!

Services crashing 2.3.5

So ever since I started some 2.3.5 ROMs I've been noticing that the ROM runs great for a couple of days. Just when I think all is going great services start crashing. Google Services, Email, Browser, Titanium Backup... etc. I'm really not sure what is happening here. I've noticed it on MIUI ROM so I switched over to NoFrills-AOSP and nope still having the same issue. Does anyone else have this issue?
reboot your phone every no and again, never hurts, also, Q&A.
This has happened to me every now and then, and reboot your phone every couple of days is good for it. Could also be you have flashed a different kernel over kernel and not cleaned stuff out.
LoL Yeah this probably belongs in Q&A but what was there at the time didn't seem to Developer-ish looking haha.
Anyways, yeah I've tried rebooting about 5times already. After every flash I reboot twice before really settling down to put stuff back in. That might have been the case when I was doing the MIUI ROMs but the NoFrills-AOSP ROM I have now was fresh from Stock Odin flash. Should I just try a new Kernel maybe?
also happening to me. i reboot once a day but still it occurs. btw im on MIUI
Over time I've noticed the same thing. Similar to a Linux memory leak... No matter what rom, radio or kernel I use the available ram dwindles to almost inoperable speed. A reboot on my Vibrant is almost daily depending on what I do with my phone. Even with CWM, Overstock and Zendroid all together I still have the same issue's, any viable fixes for this?

Stop restoring from titanium backup, and just reinstall your apps from scratch.
I had this same issue, found out it was my titanium backup app restores that were at fault.
Ya alot of people don't realize.. you can't use titanium with miui.. use the miui backup app.. if u come from a a different rom, Use titanium to restore, backup with the miui backup app, then reflash miui after wiping system, then restore using miui restore app.. everything should b alot better

TI backup is not necessarily the issue with this. I've had the same problem for the last few week, and I've been using the MIUI backup exclusively. I might've used TI the first time I restored, but every other time it's been MIUI, mostly because it's WAY better.
Hmm ok well maybe the stock Odin I have is 2.1 because that's what it said in the about phone section. Anyways, TI causing a problem? or not causing a problem.. hmm LoL Oh how I love technology conflicts. Well right now I'm sitting on Simply Honey RC1 and so far no crashes yet. I went from Stock to Light then to Simply Honey as instructed. I did restore using TI, but I might flash back to MIUI from Stock and give it another try.
check your datadata partition and see if it's full. since miui is based off cm7, i'm assuming it uses the same partition scheme. if datadata is full, that may be your problem.

constant freezes and reboots

okay so i got the a500 today...
checked... it had 3.2 and downgraded to 3.0.1 and i just get reboots all the time.. i did a factory reset aswell to make sure user data from 3.2 was the problem... the same still happens, updated to 3.1 wiped user data again still happens... went back to 3.0.1 wiped user still again..
deadset about to hurl this thing... i cant get to turn on adb becuz it will freeze before i get there...
edit... after babying it for 4 hours... i have finally got the needed apps installed... i know its against the rules but the only way was by downloading them with my xoom and then installing the apk manually with adb... sorry thor if that has pissed you off.. but seriously 3.0.1 was killing me...

The 3.01 ROM is riddled with issues, but the point of it was to be able to downgrade from 3.2.
This might sound like a silly question since it seems you are quite familiar with honeycomb tablets and rooting/intalling custom ROMS on them, but did you wipe the cache and dalvik cache?

any way i can get the stock recovery.img and 3.2 (i can probably just use an update.zip for that) so i can hurl this thing at the people who sold it to me... gah

It's funny that you state that this tab is "impossible", yet we literally have monkeys on this forum who have downgraded, then installed a pre-rooted ver of HC 3.2 with no issues like you're describing.
I've made mistakes early on with this tab when I first got it, and it was usually from missing one small step in a procedure. Have a look at "pilot error", and if you're certain you did everything correctly, you have two options.
#1) Return the tablet as it's obviously a hardware issue.
#2) Call a Catholic priest to do an exorcism on your tablet, because it's possessed!
Hey man,
I'm sorry that you are having that issues with the tablet. I don't have those kind of issues at all with my Iconia. I love the thing and it has been reliable, from original 3.0 to 3.1 to 3.2, back to 3.0.1 and then on to custom ROMS. The tab has frozen up on me maybe twice in over 4 months of tinkering with it.

You try to sound ritious in that monkeys can do it.. Yet offer about as much advice or ideas as a catholic priest.. Zip... do u think i would have posted if i hadnt followed steps eh and i previously stated my wipes, permissions fix, etc
It is possible that an update package has not correctly flashed a block thereby when the update process has proceeded, the issues have remained.. This has previously occured when hc soft touch keys break from an install you need to get back to a stock build..
I may also try formatting system, etc before flashing in an attempt that that may help wipe out an error
Failing all my attempts today i may conclude my device is faulty.. Finally, it would be obvious that if this really doesn't work the device is out of line of the majority, the tab on the whole however seems good.. Hell it is pretty much the same as the xoom and it felt it,... Before it rebooted lol

[ROM] Stock rooted 3.2.1 a501_4.483.01_EMEA_TMPL 20-01-12

A Present from Moscow!
Acer Stock HC 3.2.1 Acer_A501_4.483.01_EMEA_TMPL
Rooted
Busybox
Superuser
Data/app folder added with a couple of apps to check root
All stock ACER apps included
You know the procedure for flashing. If not, here they are again, as it seems some people don't know.
You MUST do the wipes and formats.
Installation:
Due to issues with Version 1.7 of recovery, you may get stuck at the boot animation. Highly advise you to downgrade your recovery back to Version 1.5. It seems that some things do not get wiped and formatted correctly.
1. Wipe User Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe DalviK
4. Wipe Battery Stats
Note: Optional Formatting.
If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.
If you want to save all the things like downloaded files, apps, pdf's etc, then DO NOT enable this toggle, and just proceed to the Format steps.
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
Select Go Back and select Install from Zip File (for those of you who refuse to update their recovery, select Install zip from SD)
Link Re-established.

Doesn't work for my tablet, can't get past boot animation.
Did a full wipe, cache, dalvik and battery stats and flashed it now a second time - all i get is only the boot animation.
Any suggestions?

Thanks! I will give it a try either tonight or this weekend and see how it goes for me.
Mucho appreciated!

Not sure what your definition is of a "full wipe", but instructions can be found here:

I can guarantee you that if all you can get is to the boot animation that the problem is "pilot error".

Try downloading the ROM again. It might be a bad download.

Well, here's what I suggest. Look in my original post. I added the full instructions from my other rom.
It seems now days, the old 3 wipes just don't do a good enough job, you also have to do the formats as well.
(I thought I would be lazy and do only the 3 wipes last night, guess what? Stuck at boot animation) Did the full wipe and format, and it works as advertised.
EDIT: Guess what? This morning, I cannot flash anything, or I should say "hit and miss". Not even my daily driver. Connected to Recovery I believe.
Link re-established. Nothing wrong with the download.
If you have issues, downgrade your recovery back to version 1.5.
The issue with version 1.7 is "hit and miss". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Well, I haven't checked the comgen1 yet (had to figure out the recovery problem first). Will root it and check it in a bit.
But, so far, I see 4 or 5 language supports are missing from the TMPL. Arabic and Aisian mostly. Also, on install the default is Polish (not a biggie as you can change it).
Other that that, it has a few extra files when compared to 3.2.
It seems I can get 1 or 2 extra sat's on gps when comparing to HC 3.2. But maybe because it's a clear day here.
Also, Acer included a couple new apps. One of them some 3d photo browser that force closes the first time you use it. Then it works normally, sort of. Seems it loses it's images off and on. Nice job acer. And, it's butt ugly. Wonder who the rocket scientist was that chose that app?
I'm not going to mod this one, but I will with the comgen1. Overall it runs good I think.

What is that A501_4.031.24_4.066.29_COM_GEN1 build ?
I am only aware of that Acer_A501_4.066.29_COM_GEN1 posted by Vache, but how did you figure 4.031.24 is upgraded to that one ?
Sorry. My Bad
I was thinking about the a501_4.510.01_Com_Gen1H that was leaked out yesterday.
I already rooted it and such, but it seems to be a "Demo" version from a couple of months ago. Not only does it have a strange installer script, but a strange directory structure also. 3g also is partly working.
So basically it's of little use.

Could You provide the MD5 just to check if the download is correct (it is very slow)?
Thanks

I get one in a few minutes.
The issue, is the U.S. is shutting down all the file servers due to piracy. MegaUpload, MultiUpload (server end) Now all that's left are the slow ones. Took me 45 minutes to download today.
MD5 df253e3f8825197c08a1f0a0b8c24a81
Yeah, its a pain in the bum alright, some of the slower ones already have "removed or taken down because of copyrighted material" messages coming up (deposit files)... A couple have the servers offline - upload king and upload here.
This is gonna be a major pain in the bum if the close down or lock file sharing sites, and the sites themselves may end up locking things down and removing anything they see as copyrighted material, even if its not....
Took me 10 minutes to download an 8mb kernel... I'm gonna end up a bald man before I get this rom....
And then the download stuffs up and I have start ALL OVER AGAIN.... Then to add insult to injury I have to wait 20 minutes.....

I'm not quite that bad off (still have all my hair)!
I'm going to look around for some Russian servers. Or something. I noticed one other place, but I have to find it again. They'll probably shut it down also soon.
Next thing you know, they'll shut down GitHub, and all dev comes to a standstill.
Also, I noticed today, XDA is almost at a complete stop. And I can guess who's responsible for THAT!
It's running now, needed to format it to make it work.
Didn't have to format when i was installing v3.2.
Thanks for the help

I think there's going to be a "knee jerk" re-action to the mega upload affair.... Be a REAL pain if we can't continue doing what we want with our devices...
Shame too, just getting good with the new A501 roms coming out...
Hate I might need to revert to stock to pick up ICS upgrade because the chefs can't share their flavours...
Chefs are great for sharing these awesome roms....

Well, I just know enough to make me screw things up
I found another place. 30 min download, But you have to give your e-mail for the link. Not really an issue. 3 more servers went down today.
Seems all that's left, is the small file hosts, and they're starting to limit file size.
I suspect, some serious **** will hit the fan in the next coming week, The US can't keep going on this crusade forever. Otherwise, there won;t be a site left except "foxnews" and Facebook.
IS there a Kernel i can use for overclocking?
Using CPU Master i can only choose 1000MHz, had it overclocked to 1.4GHz with the previous ROM.

No problem and glad it's running.
Not sure what is going on, but in past 6 months, it seems like we now have to format things. I didn't in the past, but now I must.
Well, it is 2012, so things change.
If you have issues with the Rom, it is pure stock HC 3.2.1. I changed nothing in it. Only SU and busybox and removal of the bootloader blob and recovery. So if a game doesn't run, there is nothing I can do about it. It's an Acer deal.
However, I do have one on my notebook, that has "0" acer stuff in it.
