Important:
Before you post a “bug”, do a Factory reset!!! It’ll solve most issues.
Before you ask something, read the whole Thread!!!
Don’t even think about pm’ing Team Fun or me because of your Problems
Why are there two versions of GingerDX?
One version is for stock kernel, the other one for custom kernels
Which one should I use?
Well, it’s pure logic If you are on stock kernel, flash the stock version, if you are on a custom kernel, use the custom version.
I’m stuck in a bootloop! What shall I do now?
Keep calm. Enter CWM and restore a Backup or reflash the ROM again.
If you can’t enter CWM, reflash using Flashtool or SEUS.
I’m still stuck!
Did you flashed the right version? Stock version on stock kernel and custom version on custom kernel…
Why is my Wifi not working?
Have you flashed the right kernel?
Try to forget Networks
Still not working? --> Full Wipe
My Phone crashes when trying to sign into google…
Have you flashed GAPPS?
Have you flashed the libsensor patch (when on alfs)?
Did you do a Full Wipe?
How can i mount my sdcard to PC? There is no button...
Just tap the Android
Can I update busybox on stock?
No. It’ll brick your Device
What is ADB/USB-Debugging?
If you don’t know what it is, you don’t need it
ADB (or Android Debug Bridge) allows you to communicate between your computer and your phone (for example to get logcats)
How do I get a logcat?
If you need to ask, that’s the right link for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944776
What is GalleryDX
It’s a modded version of QuickPic
And how do I get rid of it?
Delete /system/app/GalleryDX.apk and /system/lib/qpicjni100.so
Why is my wifi not working?
On custom kernel:
Have you flashed the right kernel?
--> GDX v28 and earlier: LinuxDX or Alfs v08a GDX/Alfs v09c WLAN
--> GDX v29 and later: nAa 14 or Alfs v08a CM7/Alfs v09c CM7
Why is the Auto-Brightness not working?
If you’re on Alfs kernel, have you flashed the libsensor Patch?
Why does my LED not blink like it should?
Just delete the file "/system/lib/hw/lights.shakira.so" and reboot.
Now it should work correctly.
Shall I use Supercharger?
You can, but it’s not recommended. The ROM is already tweaked, to get the best overall performance. If you use it, it’s your own responsibility and do NOT post some “bugs” which only you have got, because of using supercharger
Will the app “xxx” be included in the next version?
To make you happy: maybe…
To be realistic: the probability it pretty low
How can I delete system apps?
You can delete system apps by using a root explorer to delete the desired app from /system/apps/
But BE CAREFUL what you delete! Delete on your own risk!
What’s KSM?
You can read the exact explanation here
Or in short: it gives a performance boost (because it makes processes share the “same pages” with other processes --> less CPU calculation) and reduces the RAM consumption (--> pages are shared, no multiple copies)
If you’ve got some questions to add to this list, just post a comment or send me a pm!
Thanks for your support and keeping the Thread clean!
Good:good: but there is already a similar thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409113
Have you contact eagleeyetom?
I'm reading the word "official" so I guess you have, you could have taken the other thread and update it as Lucas is not that active here anymore and he have gave permissions for his threads.
There is no reason for two FAQ threads about gingerdx. So maybe mods should close the other one. Just saying its obviously up to mods.
And as a suggestion,you can add some links in order to make your thread more newbie friendly ,for example you can put a link for a more detailed unbricking guide.

Hey guys betcha you havent seen me in a long long time...
Well guys.. I had decided. I am leaving XDA guys.. I am sorry. It's been so nice having you guys around. Well as many of you already know, I am using the iPhone 4 now and I rarely ever gets the time to log in to XDA and Tapatalk actually cost $2.99 on iOS. Soo yeah I am leaving and I guess sooner or later I would lose my RC status too. And all of my threads? You can inform a moderator or something if you want to help me continue updating all my nice threads if you want. You have my permisssion. For now I wont be online anymore though I might log in in a while.. Until the day I actually get a new Android phone then I will come back. Thanks guys for all of your support this year I really really did appreciated it.. However guys I am still keeping my faithful W8, still using it once in a while to read e-books and use my favorite Cyanogenmod app DSP Manager. Well that's it then... May we meet again soon.

thanks for the tip...but unluckly wifi setting isn't correlated to hotspot settings in locked status (standby). I found other users had same problems with other roms and phones, the solution they found is this app that allow to use cpu and wifi also when phone is in standby (locked)

i have encountered this problem only on ginger dx v30, and i have reinstall this rom twice
when i wake the device up, somehow the lockscreen widget is not visible, but it is there, i can unlock it due to the vibration that i felt... and sometimes, when i try to either reboot or power off the device, pressing the power button, but no menu is visible, but i know its there, because i tap randomly on screen, and then another menu to choose either reboot or reboot the recovery pop out. im using this on alfsv09c and i have install this correctly, anyone knows why this happen?

Hey Ace Lovers...
some of you already knew, for the Rest : I fell in Love with the "Clean Android|AOSP" Stuff provided by Slaid480 and EmoBoiix3..
The only Problem with it was
- not yet flashable
- no brightness and soundlevel
I used the Rom for some days and really liked everything but for me
- Lockscreen sucked (at least after Factoryreset)
- I missed all the nice Settings
Somebody mentioned to restore CyanogenSettings so I tried just to add Cyanogen Parts to it (CM Parts/Settings/Settingsprovider) CM Screenshots was included already..
..it worked
Now, I added some, I think, nice features to it..
- Apps & Framework are deodexed
- zImage-Mod v1.1
- Old Market (Marketupdater deleted)
- Google Maps 5.8 (don't update)
- Center Clock
- Batterymod
- Cyanogen Settings
somebody just startet to get nervous...wait, don't panic, Credits will be given in the very End ;-)
Let's talk about the way to get this on your Ace..
- Download the Rom from second Post (Sunday)
- Place it somewhere on your SD Card (somewhere you can find it later...will you !?)
- reboot your Phone into Recovery (CWM Recovery required)
- Please : Backup your current Rom !
- Now we will see if you had a good spot for my flashfile...can you find it ?
- Once you found it, flash it and wait
- After Installation has finished, please reboot
- the first boot will take a while don't panic !
For a reason that's out of reach of my knowledge, you will see no statusbar at first start. Please, finish the Google Setup Progress and once, you've finished it, just reboot again, the Statusbar will be there and...you will like it (hopefully)
Screenshots now in 2nd Post !
I added a little F.A.Q. to 2nd Post, this will be updated whenever Problems got solved, please, read this before you ask, it will help people (&me) to not lose the overview (and...for some...their patience )
Credits :
- of course, in first to the Godfathers (and Moms) of this AOSP Project, SLAID480 and EMOBOIIX3, you guys rock !
- an0nym0us_ for zImage-Mod v1.1
- ketut.kumajaya for parts of his updaterscript, the inspiration and the wonderful stuff he gave to us (absolutely amazing)
- dsixda for his/her great (!) kitchen
- alley23 for parts of his Centerclock
Missing your name here ? Please let me know..!
I am planing to add some more things but all that will follow will be in small patches. The Downloadlink for the Rom will be available Sundaymorning as I started uploading but not more than 12Kb available..no, I don't live at the end of the World but...I can see it from here..
Please note :
I am no Developer, not magic in any direction, all you get here is pure compilation of Stuff the real Devs provide here. I want to point that out because I really think that way. Without all those guys here, compiling stuff, developing new stuff, bringing all this to us, the Ace would be just one more midrange Phone...with them, it's just awesome
Everything you get from me is, of course, free to use, modify, sit on it, delete it from your phone, show your mom, whatever you like because : Android is fckn fantastic free
Please don't blame me if anything does not work, your wife runs away with the tennis teacher because you spend to much time with your ace, your phone won't boot or anything bricks because : I'm not responsible ! NOT guilty ! Wasn't ME !

Q: There are so many awesome Roms already available, why bringing this ? Big Ego ? To much time ? No Life ?!
A: No, I am absolutly shy in reality and kids and wife keep me pretty busy but.. this Rom is kinda different to others as it does not come with much for the eye but a lot of options to build up on. About 86Mb of free Systemspace and about 130 Mb free Dataspace..
Q: Will there be updates ? And when ?
A: Yes, I have planes for the future, but this will all happen in small, flashable Files. Some Frameworkmodifications, Iconchanging and a few more Apps. When ? I will let you know ;-)

Which CM is? 7.1 or 7.2? any change to use a kernel with OC?
Can apply scripts like lagfree and turboboost?
BTW this rom is awsome, beauty and smooth.
Great Job!
thanks will try patch now.
working great, my Ace is now complete

I searched through the build.prop but found no traces lol Slaid has done a good job with it
But I think it is 7.2...
For OC Kernels, please make a backup and then try, I can't tell if it works but it would be nice if you report back about it.
For Scripts, I don't see why there should be problems with it, please, always backup your Rom and try

I did this, but after the bootloop with blackhawk i flashed the OC kernel from 7.1 cyanogem Grif's rom and worked, thanks for the help
Edit:
BlaclHawk worked, Lagfree and turboboost working (at least the tweeks are in the init.d), and framework.zip (that one who increases the number stages volume) worked too.
How is it?
People after all this time what is yur feedback about the rom?
I like it. Its fast and it does not need things like scripts for this or for that.
I tryed many and now i have to do a new install BUT now i know what to install or not .
Hope for some update.

Hello guys,
Im here with another guide!
Now I feel that my other guide was alright, but there was a lot of things that need updating, and I couldn't find where i had put everything. Yes, it sounds a bit starnge but as much as it may heave helped you, there was to much crammed up into 1 space. So i couldnt update like i wanted to. SO, now im back with a more, user friendly guide and more updated guide about everything you need to know about our x8/w8! *cue theme music*
What is android?This part is for people who are new to android, and their first phone is a x8. So this section is where you n00bs are gonna look:
Android is the world's most popular mobile platform. Android powers over 100000 devices. It is owned and developed by Google. It powers Smartphones and tablet computers.
It is also Linux based system/platform. Android started in 2005, but the unveiling of the Android distribution was in 2007.
Ever since then they have started to build on and on (If you know what i mean)
How many versions of Android are there?Very good question:
Officially, you have: 1.5 --->1.6 ---> 2.0 ---> 2.1 ---> 2.2 ---> 2.3 ---> 3.0 ---> 4.0
Correct me if i am wrong. Lets see, altogether there is 8!?
Which version's are compatible with the xperia x8Officially, 1.5 ---> 1.6 ---> 2.0 ---> 2.1
Sony Ericsson said that official Froyo (2.2) on the x8 just keeps making it reboot.
But our developers have made it possible to not only to run froyo (2.2) but we can run GingerBread (2.3) and just about ICS (4.0)
What is a developer?Silly question but its worth putting it in
A developer is someone who creates/builds custom Android ROM's or/and makes apps.
I myself, am working on my own project but im not gonna release it till its got the essentials complete
Here's a list of developers: (If i missed anyone out, please say so, we dont want any disrespect)

How to root1stly, rooting is what allows you to modify your phone (basically). It gives you superuser access to everything.
how to root your phone:
1st. Download superoneclick *just a quick notice, if your anti-virus finds a 'trojan horse' in that file, disable your anti-virus. The reason for that is because superoneclick is an exploit program. it needs to exploit in order to root your phone. Disable your anti-virus becuase it will mess up the process of rooting your phone*
2nd.Open Superoneclick as administrator.
3rd. Click 'root' and follow the onscreen instructions.
What is a custom ROM?A custom ROM is a Customized Android project/platform
It can be built from scratch or can be based on someone elses.
There are Many different features that it has compared to stock ROM (original android system).It could have modules,cool framework and much much more!
How do install a custom ROM?Well its Simple:
First you need to have a recovery installed: Xrecovery then flash a rom that has dual recovery so you have the special and popular ClockWorkMod recovery. Click here (thanks to zdzihu for Xrecovery) (and thanks to unic0de for clockworkmod (click here for clockworkmod) )
Once a recovery or both are installed, download the ROM you desire, then place it in your sd card. NOT in any folders, just the root of your SD CARD
once that is done, boot into your recovery, go to: choose zip ---> choose from SD CARD ---> then choose your zip. click yes, and wait.
If it does not automatically do a full wipe, do a full wipe. If your not meant to do a full wipe, then leave it. Reboot and enjoy
What is a Android Kernel?Android kernel is a linux based kernel that the phone manages its power from. it controls the power and battery on your phone. Its simply to explain i guess, but installing a custom kernel 'aint'
WARNING ABOUT UNLOCKING 2011/2012 PHONE'S BOOTLOADER'SI should have remembered about this. And so i have. Here goes. I need to tell you that about a hardware imposed danger to hard brick your Xperia X8 and W8, applies to E15i/a and E16i/a, at the attempt to unlock your bootloader boot loader!
The phones affected by the problem are units being manufactured at 11W29 and after!
To check if your device is affected by the problem follow this simple steps:
1.Turn off the phone and open it up
2.Take out the battery
3.Look at the sticker below
If the date code on the sticker reads 11W29, or any later date (11W30, 11W31, 11W32, 11W33, ...), DO NOT attempt to unlock the boot loader.
These phones ship with a revamped chipset configuration having the security hole the boot loader unlock uses effectively closed. This means that upon unlocking the boot loader your phone will end up as a hard brick - and you will have NO means to revive the phone yourselves. You either have to send it off to Sony Ericsson for repair (recommended solution) or find a phone repair shop being able to resurrect shot devices!
The symptom you will experience when unlocking the boot loader on an affected device is like this:
The boot loader unlock will most likely go through fine

I guess you should define the terms first...
ROM Cookers (also known as ROM Chefs) are actually the guys (or gals) who _REALLY_ build their own ROMs out of the source and even code up extensions or add features. Take nobodyAtall, doixanh, paul-xxx or larkkarl as an example here - that are REAL devs. alfsamsung, who "just" provides a kernel, is also a REAL developer.
The others who take a ROM to only mod it into the shape they so much desire or feel like to satisfy a particular itch (which is the majority of ROMs you will find in the development section) aren't ROM Cookers or ROM Chefs per se (in my opinion) - they are "Modders". They only add or remove packages to a pre-built ROM.
However, the definition of a "Dev" seems to be very blurred in XDA terms.

For starters I am not a Developer, I am not a Themer, but what I am is not important.
This is something that I have been working on for the past 2 weeks. Didn't want to
release it until I knew others can handle it. This is G-Harmony4.0.4 broken down on
Crack. Fully Deodexed with Modded scripts to Match. After Installation and setup is
complete let it rest for 10 - 15 minutes to allow the Dalvic to build. After that hold on
with both hands and enjoy the ride. Sorry this only comes as a 160 lcd, but can be
by changing the build prop.
I want to thank tjohnsonjr for bring us [ROM-AOSP][BL-1.2]G-Harmony ICS 4.0.4 ODEXed
so I can rip it apart and bring you this amateur build
Also Special Thanks goes to fosser2 for helping me out with some initial issues, and bring us
to the ICS and Jelly Bean Stages
Just when you think it couldn't get much better then this
Then I update and it just keeps getting better
This one will keep going all night long
Now I bring you SmOoTh_IcE 4.0.4 (deodexed)

Yeah it does that if you don't let it rest for the whole 10 to 15 min. Some devices might react different. Maybe needing a longer cool off period. I am running this along with everyone that does so I can try to duplicate issues as they come in if any and try to resolve them.
Edit : Updated OP
Yea I let it sit a little longer and it works fine now,the play store that is. It has started to lag in chrome a lot can't figure that one out.
Sent from my Malata SMBA1002 using xda app-developers app
lag might have to do with files left in the init.d folder...if you aren't using supercharger, I suggest removing files from the folder and rebooting.

I am going to add this to the initial setup of the device after replacing the stock file manager with one that can be used to do it. Thank you for some insight. Does any one have a well place script that can be added to automatically do this?

Like all the ICS Builds for the Gtab we are using the Kernel off of Team DRH's build made by fosser2 and others. Once they get the kernel perfected there will be no Camera. This has Kernel base 1.3 I took the build with 1.3.2 off line. To the Sleep of Death issue Yes there is always that chance of it happening. Just beware of what you are doing and also word of advise change your display sleep setting to max.

Is this speedier than G Harmony? I love it, with the exception of Email Speed and some internet Lag.
OK, I will be the guy to ask...If already on the latest G-harmony ICS, would a cache and Dalvik flush be enough when flashing this?

Should be able to since this is just a Deodexed version of G-Harmony. I would still make a nandroid bakup in recovery just in case things go wrong. Try it out.

Hello,
Wish you and your family a very Happy New Year!
You may know that I have already published ElegantPerformer on Xda. You can check it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709879.
Now I am going to introduce it's 2nd version. In looks, both are identical but you can feel the difference while handling. I have used a lot of ROMs from here and I really loved each of them, but mostly I found my phone buggy after using them for more than a week. I actually stopped working on ROM due to my exams but I have to make one for myself. Which must be stable, fast without OC, smooth like butter and beautiful. So I am introducing another version of my work ElegantPerformer V2 by Adwait.
================================================================================================
Screenshots:
Battery stats after 9 hours of use. Sorry for night mode Screenshot Will upload again after sometime.
================================================================================================
Features:
- Nothing fancy. No live wallpaper, bootanimation.
- Just 80 mb size.
- Based on latest CM7.2 source (Published by CM team on 1/1/2013)
- Fire Kernel OC
- New Holo launcher
- Battery monster (I mean it !! )
- Google Play Store 3.10.10
- Toggle torch
- FM radio
- Beats audio engine + Alsa + AudioFXwidget
- MixZing player for better performance.
- Devanagari /Hindi /Marathi/ almost all Indian language font support to read webpages, sms in your language (Partial rendering)
- Working wifi,USB tethering.
- and lots of more..... (I'm bit lazy lol!!! )
================================================================================================
Credits:
-CM team
-dragonnn for his awesome fire Kernel
-Prash for his Blue Abids theme
-Lovetz for Beats audio engine + Alsa + AudioFXwidget
And all of those who are directly or indirectly contributed to this ROM. Please forgive me if I missed anyone.
================================================================================================
How to install :
Boot in recovery CWM 5
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced>>Wipe dalvik cache
Choose 'Install zip from sd card'
Choose the file 'ElegantPerformer_V2_By_Adwait.zip '
Reboot after the flashing completes. 1st reboot may take 3-4 minutes. After 1st reboot and setting account, 2nd boot is recommended.

Few words from me:
I tried my best to keep the ROM away from bugs. Only one thing you may need to do is updating superuser binary. It will update by itself, just allow it to do so.I hope you like this ROM. Those who are already satisfied with your current ROM, just make a backup of the current ROM and then TRY this ROM. I am sure you will love this! Let me know if you find any trouble using it. If you like this ROM just press "Thanks" this will tell me how many of you loved this ROM.
You can also make this banner as your Signature. Here is the code:

Dude, when you release a different version of the SAME rom it HAS TO BE ON THE SAME THREAD.
Otherwise the Ace Development Forums would be filled with a trillion different threads.

Hey dude, It's look wise same But if the main source is itself changed then I think starting new thread is best choice. I know the rules but my 1st version was based on vo-1's odexed and this one is based on CM7.2's original nightly published on 1/1/2013. So I have to make a new thread! And I think I should! what say?
Edit: And also the Fire Kernel used in this ROM is OC. In v1 it was not an OC.
Did ur rom supports Tamil language? This version is deodexed?

Nope.
It should still be an update to the other thread.
As long as your rom has the same name you cant create a new thread. Be it a change in kernel or base rom itself

Any reason you didn't include AdrenalineEngine ?
However, I'm going to test your rom for the next few days.

Is that mandatory? I never used it. And to keep this ROM lightweight I have to skip additions which can be added later. I am glad you would like to try this ROM. I will wait to get feedback from your side!
Regards,
Adwait
Of course you don't HAVE to use AdrenalineEngine, I just never had the feeling that it would do any damage to integrate it
1) On first boot I could not enter my PIN, all I could do was take out the battery and restart.
2) With every restart I get an error-message, something about bluetooth (I don't know if this important, I don't think it has any effect on the rest of the phone)
3) Whenever I want to go into the synchronisation-settings (I hope thats what its called in english) the phone reboots. (I think this might be a CM 7.2 Nightly error, and not your fault )
For now I have the feeling that it runs very smooth, and I like the way it looks.
Will test it for a few more days and maybe stick to it

Hello,
Did you cleared cache, dlavik cache 1st? After your reply I am going to test my ROM again but the errors you mentioned are completly new! They shouldn't be there. And I flashed my ROM almost 6 times during testing. So please make sure you have CWM5 or more, all data wiped, cache wiped, dalvik cache wiped!
Edit:
I just successfully flashed ROM. No error message about Bluetooth or anything found! Safely navigated through each part of settings without any reboot. USB tethering also works fine!
So I strongly recommend you to follow these steps:
Boot in recovery CWM 5
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Advanced>>Wipe dalvik cache
Choose 'Install zip from sd card'
Choose the file 'ElegantPerformer_V2_By_Adwait.zip '
Of course, CWM5 and did exactly as you said in your first post. Never had these problems before, but since your ROM is based on such a new version of CM7, I think it might be because of that. But I don't know, I'm not a developer or anything

Sorry but you are doing something wrong I guess! Retry if you are okay with it. This time don't forget to wipe things
And let me know the result!
Hi thanks for the ROM it looks nice may I ask you if theres any chance of you making another version with PSN's Memory MOD..? I find it much more stable and better than using S2E or link2SD or almost anything else.. Thanks in advance.

hmm, thats strange, I flashed the same file and am still running it with no problems, did you do a full wipe first? I will double check the uploaded file against the md5sum file and test it again, keep me updated.

I double checked the file I uploaded to 4Shared and it checked out, I dont know what could have gone wrong for you, maybe the file was not completely dowloaded, or somehow it got changed after you downloaded it, or while transfering it to your sdcard.. which recovery are you using? I am using Thors CWM touch 1.7.3 and Skrilax_CZ v9 bootloader. if you are still having trouble, PM me and I will give you my phone # I know that I can help you get any rom you want flashed, or if you have a backup you can use that
here is the terminal output from the files md5sum check:
[email protected] ~/Downloads $ md5sum cm-10.1-20130926-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip
920136e012b2483c1cd3e2691ebe603f cm-10.1-20130926-UNOFFICIAL-a500.zip
it perfectly matches the file I created and flashed to my tablet.

Good luck, and let me know how it goes
Thanks - Kaiji
Yeah, I know, it's not your fault. I just got the tablet going again and I'm about to download everything once more.

Flashed your ROM again, it's the first JB ROM my tab succesfully loads and so far everything is working as expected. Count me in for testing your next ROM, I'll be testing this one for now

OK Thanks.
First.. Id like to commend your efforts. You didnt over-bloat or inflate the ROM beyond what is typically in AOSP (which is rare).
Second.. Went off without a hitch as far as I am aware its fully functional (I just banged around on it to get it setup for my wife (Im retiring my use of it).
I did notice a 'video shift' using Skrilax bootloader.. for a few seconds after I get the 'booting primary kernel' message the video goes a bit nuts but then returns to normal.
Should you ever feel cocky and choose to do a build using AOKP I would be MOST interested in the outcome... Ive been beging and pleading with them for MONTHS with no luck but it too is based from CM source code with even more tweaks and such.
Side note.. Im actually a bit saddened to see the ROMs leaning more towards a 'phone' look rather than the 'tablet' look the iconia originally had.. I got used to it and now its about useless to me. **This is no reflection on the ROM baker but rather a personal observation.

I think I have the mic figured out, but it is going to be another day before I can compile the rom again, so hopefully I can get youtube working to by then, I will post it after I recompile, so look for a post Sunday night or so.. and thanks guys for the input, I really appreciate it. As for an AOKP, I will try putting one together after I get this one totally right....
Thanks - Kaiji
I'm also going to be doing some testing for you to get this ROM rolling along.
TEAM US!™

Nice, as soon as we get a working Mic I'll flash this on my tab again for testing. And I would really appreciate it if you can also check on YouTube app since I get to use YT several times a day, but browser access for YT is good enough for now.

I recompiled and still no working mic, I have a few more ideas, but I am going away for 2 weeks and I wont be able to work on this until I return...
I have about 24 hour until I depart, and the compiling process will take about 18 hours on my setup, so if this try works I will have something for ya, but more likely I wont have this worked out until I return....
But I am going to keep on trying to get this right, and soon enough it should be all worked out
I added another build to this post. The new build is a lot stronger, and although the mic is still not working, everything else is working better and faster in this build. I know everyone else has moved on to CM 10.2 now, and I am still screwing around with this one, hehehe I just like the 10.1 build, and I am working diligently on getting an updated android kernel to run on the A500 v3.x I have made some progress in that I have had one succesful build of kernel v3.1.10 that was able to boot yay!! I managed to get the acer t20 platform drivers from the old kernel into the kernel source from the A700s t30 source.... wow that was a lot of mess too. but the kernel was really buggy and the device would not stay running, and then shut down out of the blue shortly after booting up.... I will keep on working on it, I am actually pretty new to this stuff, and just started poking around, then started to head off in my own direction, lol. But I am coming to the conclusion that I may need some help here, lol. we will see.. I hope to soon have a build to post with the newer kernel, but right now things are such a mess, it may bee a while.
But any way you will find that the second build, posted for download at the start of this thread, is a much stronger, and better build of this software. enjoy
