I've read over and over and need verification and reassuarance that I'm doing this properly. Trying to keep track of android devices get confusing at time. I'm not a total android noob, I've got my thunderbolt, the wife's fascinate, and a droid x, I've just bought the iconia and it's rooted, my confusion lies with, its magic and the Acer recovery installer. After rooting do you just flash cwm via the Acer recovery installer? Create a backup and flash a new rom? And treat it like any other device?what's the importance of having both cwm and the Acer stock image? Stock is for receiving ota updates correct?
What's different between its magic and the Acer recovery installer?

ARI installs both the custom CWM and itsmagic on to your tablet once rooted. Flashing ROMs through CWM will automatically run itsmagic to calculate the new checksums, you don't need to worry about it.
ARI is just there to make installing itsmagic and CWM a lot simpler.
Thanks. How do you format external SD on this thing?

Have yet to find an app that can do this - have never had the need, but if needed I would just use a microsd card reader, hook it to my PC, and format from there. Anyone else know of a utility for Droid that allows format of external SD card?
to OP:
I could not the format function in honeycomb either kinda odd.
Anyway, if you are trying to 'format' for first time use in your tab, upon inserting SD card the tab automatically creates the file structure it needs. Hope that helps.
Take the card out.I use a format utility by sandisk works with all removable media.think I gotfeom there website. But there are alot of format utilities out there just format in fat 32 seems to work best.for me anyway
Hope this helps
I was just going to pop in in my thunderbolt and format it, is this a problem?
Also when creating backups with cwm does it save backups to the internal memory? Or external_sdcard?
Drives me nuts that the internal memory is at /mnt/sdcard and its not an SD card.

CWM saves to ext SD card!
Another Q, the tablet I have says android 3.0.1 ,what else do I need to know before flashing, do certain roms on work when on certain android versions?
On the phones you have to match roms to radios (but no radios here) are there firmware versions that need to be matched with the from or will flashing the rom bring you up to the current version.
I've learned the hard way so sorry for the noob questions, each device is a new method thanks.

What he said ^
update to 3.1 and then root with Iconiaroot 1.3

That way you don't have to bother with the orientation lock, etc of gingerbreak.
Thanks. Downloading now.
More questions.
When retrieving an ota is it necessary to revert back to the stock recovery as well?
For example prior to retrieving
1. Restore stock backup via cwm
2. Restore stock recovery (is this necessary?)
3. Unroot via terminal or other method
4. Retrieve OTA
Then reroot and reflash cwm recovery and create a backup.

There shouldn't be the need for any of those steps, CWM doesn't care if you have rooted the tablet for example, and the OTA update just updates binaries on the system, it shouldn't be affected either.
if you install a stock rom, you have to re-flash cwm, root, kernel because it cleans everything, and i think that it is a good thing to happen.
When I try to root my phone I can't because when I click to -APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD- says:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) E:Can't mount /sdcard
Install from sdcard complete.
I'm already installed the update.zip but says this thing again!!!!! What I have to do?
Thanks!

First go to CWM then chose storage (i dont remember) and mount sd card. Then try again..
if it dont work then you should format ur sd card
Am I just have to put the CWM to sdcard?

Im tried every update.zip's. And my problem its not about update.zip, about recovery mod.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
Use odin and try to flash a fresh stock rom. Then try rooting again by using zip file. Root your phone using stock recovery not cwm.
send from Gods Own Country........
I'm already done my job with odin. I'm tried rooting again and again but it didn't worked...
Guys, I just learned my sd is not working well that's why recovery mod dont see my sd... Thank you all!

it makes the internal storage as the default sdcard..
so the apps save data to internal storage....
it'll be better if extsdcard could be the default

hey,
even if your phone is rooted, you can't simply fool the droids memory architecture just from a Third Party Application..
you need INT2EXT script with a constantly running application which watches the memory.(eg link2sd)
and for all that u first need to partion your sdcard to the device(grand2) supported partion i.e ext2/ext3/ext4.
for partioning i recommend PartionWizard windows application.
else The custom CWM is highly recommended (which unfortunately isnt available at this time)
Does int2ext work on grand2?

i guess it will work
we just have to trace its internal memory hardware location
and memory address where the /data folder exists..
then we need to create the partition modules(.ko files)eg:- Ext3.ko
then we need to create supported partition on sdcard.
and then create int2ext script which links the module and partition on sdcard which fools android.

[Q]Link2SD for SM-G7102
Now my Viewsonic V350 is starting to fall in to peaces I've orderd the SM-G7102.
While awaiting the delivery I'm studying the posibilities.
On the V350 Link2SD was briliant to get around the lack of memory of the phone. I've become very fond of it.
Here's a question for the Link2SD users:
Did anyone manage to get the seccond partition working as a ext3?
Yes for me it works with ext4 format
