(•.•) · Jun 24, 2011

Honey, you did it!

Spiders · Jun 24, 2011

thx ! download started

_motley · Jun 24, 2011

Thanks, just what i wanted! Can you post the MD5? I have aa5e49eed4e254134ce1ee64354be40

edit: nevermind

edit 2: flash went perfect, rom is very fast. Everything is working great, just like 3.1 out of the box with a little root sprinkles on top

I like having Dolby back, one of Iconia's strengths.

hellcat82 · Jun 24, 2011

I'm looking forward to giving this a run. Great work!

Croxz · Jun 24, 2011

work well!
thanks

bonzer2u · Jun 24, 2011

Very nice indeed, thanks......

interqd · Jun 24, 2011

i whink this rom is the nearest to stock rom...
want to know what acer actually fix in this long awaited rom

downloading it now

hellcat82 · Jun 24, 2011

I've just noticed something interesting. I attempted to play the same test files that I played on PRIMEE and can only run them in software rendering mode, however in PRIMEE they ran with hardware decoding. Perhaps Acer has deliberately disabled mkv due to the lack of AC3 support?

I wonder if it's possible to port the MKV functionality from PRIMEE? I have a lot of MKVs that don't have AC3 sound that would be nice to watch without reencoding into mp4 containers.

It'll be a tough choice between SRS and MKV support.

Edit: Scratch that, all the mp4 files I tested on PRIMEE don't work either

interqd · Jun 24, 2011

INSTALLED and booted well

one issue i got now, external sd in setting - storage says not available, but using file manager HD i can explore to the folders..

_motley · Jun 24, 2011

Richard, one suggestion I have is to replace the wpasupplicant file to support adhoc wifi. This is important for us non-3G guys.

1) copy to \system\bin replacing the original
2) set exec permissions for all
View attachment wpa_supplicant_xoom_wifi_adhoc.zip

Tested and working, tethered using Barnacle (NAT) on Samsung Galaxy phone.

Can someone try this 1080 mp4 and see if it plays ok? It worked perfectly in Primee but looked like a slideshow in the stock Acer 3.01 and Virtuous Picasso.

Sadly it's a slide show.

So it has to be something to do with the Acer rom as it works fine on a Xoom with 3.01 and Primee on an Iconia. Acer sucks by the sound of it.
