I tired most ROM's as well, this is by far the best ROM, and he provides great support, also it is the only one that has Bluetooth tether enabled and fully working
e-mail setting
Hello,
Yes indeed this vis very interresting rom, however I could not set-up my e-account.
If somone can helpe then this will be almost perfect.
Thanks
Any help?
someone already tested video performance with this custom rom? stock rom 3.2 struggles to even play h264-encoded 720p mkv-files smoothly :-/
in case anyone wants to check it out, here's an example file from one of my favorite tv shows:
http://www.imgden.com/11098/Spartacus.Gods.of.the.Arena.Part06.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE.mkv.jpg
I'm currently on V12. Due to the modding I do (removing certain system apps, editing build.prop, etc.) not sure if it's worth the update, unless anyone can convince me otherwise
Native NTFS support is a great feature. Fat32 and ntfs usb dongles are mounted to the same folder. So the Rom is treating both types of usb devices identically. That is imo a great improvement.
With best regards, maris
I had no intension on loading any mod rom on my tablet but not experimenting mean i will not learn or cannot assist so i took the plunge, compare the loading of web pages to the factory firmware is like night and day, ..this is a keeper for me....
Was going to try this, and then I noticed the bug list (well only 2...)
The rotation lock not working does'nt bother me - I rarely use it.
But the auto brightness seems to work quite well (on Taboonay).
I don't notice it at all, the screen always seems to be at the right brightness,
regardless of the ambient light around (so I guess its working).
Anyone have a workaround for this - or does just not bother people?
How is battery life?

Well since it does'nt seem to make a difference,
I may as well try it - just gotta work out how to do a full backup and then a full wipe - I think my file system is a bit messy...
*edit* Just noticed some people mentioning about the rotation lock working,
It's the hardware (button slider) that does'nt work (I think), I guess the soft one works fine...

It's also an option in display settings, as I posted (at least in very 12). Not sure he would take that out.

I have tested my 720mkv files on just about every ROM. Thor's ROM (I'm running 12 right now) plays the ones that I have FLAWLESSLY whereas they are choppy in every other ROM
My a500 is warming up, very high temperature near the dock connector, the screen on top of the space bar when the brightness is at maximum, the temperature rises quickly and restarts
Hi,
Will any of these ROMS work on the A501? is the 3G / 4G hardware supported?
Thanks
I installed DSC 0.61B today. I'm reasonably pleased with its performance, except for 3G not wanting to wake up with the rest of the phone (a known issue). Besides that issue I encountered a problem that plagued me when using StreakDroid. An issue crops up where the camera display turns white, rendering the camera and all apps that depend on the camera useless. It took me three hours to pin down the issue, but I believe I have found it.
Something in LBE Privacy Guard 2.x is causing the camera to cut out on my Streak. Don't ask me exactly what in the app is causing the problem. All I know is that I need to find a copy of the 1.x APK and install it to see if that version also causes the camera to cut out.
To everyone else that has encountered the camera white screen of death, post here whether you use LBE or not, and what version.
EDIT: LBE 1.x also causes the camera screen of death. Guess I'll have to use Droidwall instead.
Yes, the same to me?
My camera display turns white screen, but I dont know how to fix it.
Thanks,
Are you running LBE Privacy Guard? If so, you have to do a factory reset and not install it. If you're not running LBE one of your apps is not compatible with Gingerbread. You'll need to factory reset and install your apps one by one, checking the camera each time. The app that breaks the camera is likely the last app you install. Once you find it, then factory reset (again!) and don't install the incompatible app. Using nandroid backups do not work. At least they didn't for me.
I wasn't kidding when I said it took three hours to pin things down.
Same problem here:
DSC 0.62b & LBE Privacy Guard
==> white screen when using camera
==> white screen when trying to play youtube videos
In LBE Privacy Guard I unchecked "Start automatically at phone boot"
After a restart, camera & youtube worked fine.
Obviously, the LBE app causes the issue.
Unfortunately, Droidwall can't compete with LBE Privacy Guard's features.
So let's find a solution.
i have DSC 62b and without this problem, I have this problem only if I install Chainfire3D and his drivers ...

That's good to know for the future. People at least won't have to do a hard reset.

Contact the developer, if you can. They seem to have no contact information on their pages. Droidwall may not be able to compete with LBE's features, but it's also not intended to. Droidwall is simply a front end for the built-in IPTables.
I will be looking into Permissions Denied by the man who put out Busybox as an alternative.
I think switching video driver mode to mdp should help.
@_n0p_: LBE Privacy Guard should function regardless of what video mode is used. While I am sure changing the video mode helps, the point is that people shouldn't have to make that change just to use the software. The fact that LBE has a bad interaction with the camera means LBE has a bug somewhere in its code.
I personally think that composition type gpu mode is quite experimental, it functions, but it's not an app fault, if it (probably) uses hw accelerated features of GPU chip, that breaks hw accelerated surfaces on camera output.
What really should be done - is fixing adreno driver/libs that are the real problem.
I've already tried some other adreno drivers with no luck so far, but as we are working on updating and improving kernel so a solution may be found in near future.

Sergei
Perhaps I'm not understanding you here, so forgive me if I restate myself.
LBE Privacy Guard only deals with app permissions and has no control over other hardware or software, especially at the driver level. Yet it's interacting with the camera driver to render the screen useless? If that is the case, StreakDroid is also using the same video mode. The question is whether the other Gingerbread ROMs are encountering this problem and whether they use the video mode you and Streakdroid use.
As a side note, Permissions Denied works perfectly and has no autostart option. This means Sackradi is absolutely correct in that the LBE autostart mode has a problem. So what is the connection between LBE's autostart mode and the camera?
I got your point.
To be more specific - it's not the app that controls harware. It's a bug in video driver function, called by app.
Glad you've found a workaround.
I freeze the LBE by using titanium backup then restart, and then I defrost LBE.
Everything work fine for me until I restart my phone.
I like LBE very much, so I just do the step everytime I restart my phone.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
Which essentially renders LBE useless since LBE has to be active to monitor the permissions and deny them as needed. If Permissions Denied has such a monitor, it's written so that it doesn't screw up the camera like LBE does.
I get this issue when I patched libwebcore.so with Arabic patcher. How to change the video mode?
system/build.prop
change
debug.composition.type=gpu
to
debug.composition.type=mdp
I am using Power_rom_lite and this issue was bugging me from last two days, when I installed LBE. I realised the problem during video call on Gtalk. I saw white image in place of my video but other end was able to see me without any problem, only I was not able to see myself. Changing gpu to mdp solved the problem. Thanks a lot.

This is the general discussion thread for Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean for A500.
CM10 randomblame's Jellytime
CM10 civato's JB 4.1.2 FLEX v6supercharged
CM10 pjsports's rom
CM10 builds from wds :unmaintained
Jelly Bean Gapps:
Latest gapps
Gapps full list.
Troubleshooting:
The unlocked ICS bootloader is required.
If you encounter an error during the flashing process use another recovery, TWRP is known to cause problem with this rom, a CWM based recovery should do it.
If you have problems with the Google Play Store after a bit, uninstall updates for it.
If you want to avoid the lockscreen bug, you can disable it in settings-security.
Report bugs & issues with your attached logcat in the development thread.
How to logcat?
I haven't tested all features yet. The only thing that does not work is face unlock so far.

@lowsum, thanks for taking the initiative.
I will ask that you maintain the OP, providing some info ie FAQ, links for gapps etc
Will get a thread opened up in dev later today...
You guys may need to track down a better jb gapps package to use, I think the one listed in the thread is causing a lot of the reported issues...
Only issue...
Excellent start... so impressed!!
Only issues I have is with percentage battery not showing in status bar and an invisible slide on wake up. It works but can't see it... a little tricky but no deal breaker.
Huge congrats on a fine and rapid effort!
*EDIT* Odd... as if by magic, the slider is back! Only thing I think I tried was rebooting a few times AND turning off BOTH screen animations on wake / lock... Weird, but happy now!
My test results
Flashed CM10+gapps.jb.20120717. GMail and some other Google apps are not included and you'll need to get those separately from the Play Store.
SOFTWARE: Market apps did not auto restore; but all of them were able to be manually installed with no errors. I used ICSBrowser with Thor's ICS ROM...this app does not work in JB. GoogleNow, Netflix, and YouTube work great. Alternate launchers also work great.
HARDWARE: The rotation lock toggle doesn't work, but there is a quick setting option for that anyway. Sound works flawlessly. External Seagate 500GB hard drive works. Acer USB mouse works. Acer BT keyboard works. DSLR Controller works with my Canon EOS Rebel XT as far as reading the memory card; but cannot capture images which was no different in ICS. I could not get a GPS lock with GPS status nor could the Navigation app get GPS.
I have not tested any games yet. I'll load up some of my favorites tonight or tomorrow and report back.
THIS IS EASILY A DAILY DRIVER. Many many many thanks to WDS!

as for the hardware rotation lock, i need to port my code over. as my birthday is now over, i hope to have some time in the next week to do it.
@waydownsouth: My pleasure, I will maintain this thread no problem. That's the least I can do. Keep it up, it's working amazingly well already.
On my side GPS doesn't work, lockscreen sometime disappears and like most rom since ICS there's some screen flickering noticable on low brightness and dark color (kernel related I think). Battery percentage is also not showing in status bar. I had a couple of browser crash, but it was with Quick ICS Browser wich has been updated to support JB.

There's a lot of CM9 code still to be ported to CM10, things will get better as things go on.
GPS is still very broken, there have been some permissions changes in how the gps lib communicates with the native proprietary daemon... I have a workaround in mind, just need to get it implemented...

This is an awesome ROM! Thanks to everyone that has put work into this. Just to report on three issues I have found:
-Gmail app crashes every darn time. The app seems to be a hot mess.
-The unlock screen seems to go "invisible" after the tablet has been on for a while. You kinda have to guess where the button is and swipe.
-I use a bluetooth keyboard. Normally the touch keyboard goes hidden when BT keyboard is connected, but not in this AOSP ROM.
Thanks guys for the awesome work.
For a first build this is awesome! Even camera works!!
I'm using it as a daily.
I do have the following issues. (This is not a complain, I'm thoroughly impressed with this rom, this is just me reporting the issues i've experienced so far)
1) GPS doesn't work.
2) Gmail, calander, and Reddit is fun GP crash occasionally. Here is the gmail logcat: https://www.dropbox.com/s/taavl8kacv23q2z/gmail-logcat.txt
I think this is those same memory leak issues we had in the ICS rom.
3) after a while the lockscreen becomes "invisible", but still functions. In the mean time I just disabled it.
4) When importing photos from a DSLR into gallery over usb the new photos do import to the tablet but do not get added to gallery. It took an hour and two reboots before they showed up (no matter what i tried).
5) despite being set to "wifi always on" wifi disconnects during sleep
6) Plugging in a usb keyboard does not hide the onscreen keyboard
Awesome work fantastic rom!!

i tested it for the whole day today and i had all of the same problems. in any case though, thank you very much for all your hard work! : )
i got the same issue showed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz27tAD1IBQ
Can anyone please tell me if is an hardware or software problem? Shell i use warrenty and contact asus? Thx
The only way to identify it as a software problem would be to change the kernel, or maybe even ROM. But it will probably be a hardware issue.

Do you observe multitouch issues in other applications, or are you assuming that because you can reproduce the effect in that video that you have a problem.
If you enable developer options on the N7, and then turn on (Settings -> Developer options):
- Show touches
- Pointer location
can you reproduce the effects shown in that video? (Probably you need to do this on a blank homescreen or maybe viewing a picture or something so that you are not launching apps).
[Edit] I d'loaded a free market app "Multitouch Visible Test" from the market - it looks like the one in the video, although I can't be 100% sure. There are a lot of those kinds of apps in the market. FWIW, I couldn't reproduce what was demonstrated in the video. Not sure if that means anything though. I'm on rooted stock 4.2.1

i observe multitouch problem durin broswer and photo pinch to zoom. So i download the same application of the video and i understand to have the same problem! :'(
Today i'll try to flash a custom ROM and Kernel. If the issue will persist i'll go to saturn hoping is a quick sostitution. I dont want to send my N7 to ASUS.....
I have not get rid of the issue changing kernel and ROM but it has improved a lot with the combination of Franco kernel, Cm 10.1 and some tweaking in kernel parameters. I also noticed that enabling Force gpu in development options made it go better. I have read somewhere in this forum that all Nexus 7 have the same issue and it will be solved in 4.2.2. I hope it is true.
Anyone using Android Auto with the Oreo ROM? Wondering if there are any issues or if Waze and Dialer will work properly now?
Rebranded to L29-C432 so might as well give a few more things a try, but the fRomFuture ROM I'm using is pretty stable so want to check before I jump to another...

I'm currently using it, the dialer issue is still there (I am using the modded Google dialer from Martin.077 to solve that problem).
Waze behaves the same for me as before - works fine for about a month, sometimes longer, and then one day just black screens and then the only fix is to re-install Android Auto.
I now also have a new problem with Google Play Music with the Oreo update - it does not output any sound when connected via Android Auto. Navigation prompts still work though.
The fix is to use an equalizer app - no idea why it works, but it does, I'm using Equalizer FX.
So yeah, no issues solved, and one additional one added in my case.
