well, you are recommended to format data prior to flashing it ;]

I'd obviously do a full wipe but I am curious if any of the things I mentioned will be affected.

Does flashing this zip mess with any of the following?

1. Internal SD storage
2. External SD storage
3. CWM
4. Bootloader

No, no, no and no.
I don't know if it is so obvious to wipe. Accidentally i transferred from thor's ics to aosp (that can't out one day before this build for the 500) to this wonderful build without any wipes, every app still works, the system itself also.
To be honest, i planned to wipe but both times I totally forgot and doing so is not really the best recommendation I ever gave.

Taptalked u see

Hi all,

Got this up and running on my A100, had a bit of trouble with r/w on system (don't get what that's about), other than that running real nice, dsp manager is nice to see again

Can anyone tell me if the kernel has been patched with init.d support?

johnciaccio · Apr 20, 2012

Just installed it over the ics leak. Works great so far. Did not have to wripe or anything. Just had to install the the gapps (obviously). All my apps and date was still there. Nice to be with Cyanogenmod again (Use it on my other 2 phones).

Are there any modified kernels for it yet, or are we waiting on kernel sources from acer?

Also what is the maximum cpu speed with this rom?

Sorry if any of the questions seem dumb as I have not been keeping up with the news on the a500 development lately

If you take a look in the A100 General section the post from zeronull does list the unlocked bootloader for a101 too, but flashing this, if it does flash okay, will it course lose your 3G

Well guess i will wait for the A101 ROM to be out rather than lose 3G

Got it running (eventually - Amon_RA doesn't report the device as "picasso" but rather "a500", but a quick edit to updater-script fixed that), and so far I've only had one sleep of death issue. Otherwise, it's rock solid.

Thank you for building an open ROM for this device. It's nice to have choices.

There are only binary-patched kernels made from those included in Acer leaks right now (not counting not-fully-working GPL-violating ones which are not allowed to be posted here anyway

).

Acer is required to release kernel source after officially releasing ICS update for device but I don't know how long it took Acer to release sources previously.

The max CPU speed is a standard 1GHz just like in stock kernel (because it is basically a stock kernel).

flashed the cm9 for A500, got an error installing. took out that updater file, removed the first line, repackaged and flashed again, this time flashed without problems, tried to boot it - got stuck on Acer logo screen. I'm coming from ICS leaked roms, all booted without problems. Flashed the bootloader - still get stuck on the Acer screen. What am I doing wrong?

PS: I got it running. I thought I had the bootloader update installed but I didn't really look if it got installed or ended with an error. I ran it again and found out that it actually gave an error message the same that I got with the build install. So I had to fix the first line of the updatescript on the bootloader just like I did for the build and then it booted.

j.price · Apr 21, 2012

dumb question, but if we are running the ICS leak and the a500 bootloader for root, is this safe to flash?

Can't wait for a 1.6 ghz kernel

Actually the not-mention-able, GPL-violating kernel works very well. Not here to cause trouble, but facts are facts.

That whole fight just bugs me. If certain unmentionable devs could play by the rules, and certain (this) forums could be less hostile then we might actually see a combination of efforts that would lead to even greater software for our devices. As it stands, we'll have to wait for 1) acer to release the ICS kernel source, and 2) devs to have time to work on it, because the whole cooperation thing doesn't seem likely.

I totally agree with you that the cooperation would be much more profitable for all of us. But forum rules are not at fault here. How anyone could cooperate with someone who doesn't release sources? It would be a one way "cooperation". I don't think that maintainer (because he's not its author) of this not-mentionable

kernel is also author of every single patch and modification in it. Maybe some yes, but he also takes patches of other developers which are respecting GPL and release their source codes, but he does NOT give back anything to the community. And there's more to that: how anyone could tell if there isn't some kind of backdoor in such kernel if only handfull of people has access to the sources? I don't claim that there is such a thing in this kernel, but you cannot say that there isn't either.

On the matter if this kernel is fully working on a500 or not, maybe I was wrong. If yes then sorry.

And I'm sorry for an offtopic post, it won't happen again

I get stuck at the noisy boot screen, both with twrp and ra. on a500, hc bootloader. it shouldn't be necessary to mount /system to flash a rom ,eh?

So, as far as I can tell, this rom doesn't work with the honeycomb bootloader. Could you make these instructions more explicit, or perhaps post a working version of this rom I can flash with CWM to my honeycomb bootloader. I want to try it but most people seem unable to flash it with the HC bootloader.

it works fine with the honeycomb bootloader. install notepad++ for changing the update-script in both the cm9 zip and the honeycomb bootloader zip. flashes and boots just fine.

I used this Rom with hc bootloader it works just fine flash the Rom then the fix and it works I did have problems with getting back to my Rom of choice.. but I got back by flashing 1.7.1 recovery twrp had a bug of some sort where it would let me flash a Rom after cm9 but would get stuck on bootanimation.

So follow the op and enjoi

nice rom but i have everytime this wakelocks

strongergravity · Apr 21, 2012

Once I actually remembered to follow the instructions, I am tickled pink. I flashed the ICS bootloader and all is well.

A side note: I already had working ADB & Bootloader access, so I did not think I needed the Acer drivers when I went to upgrade the Bootloader & recovery. I did. They are needed to get you into APX mode. Do not assume as I did - save yourself a couple of hours of headaches. Once I did that, upgrading to the ICS bootloader was a piece of cake, for those of you who are considering it.
