[WIFI NOT WORKING] [ROM] [Acer Iconia Smart S300] [25/03/2012] Nika's ROM v1.1

Hi all,

Warning: wifi doesn't work and development has been discontinued.

Due too the issues I had with the Smartoonay ROM I decided to start and create my own ROM. This is a second try...

None yet... anyone?

Hi nikagl,

Glad to see someone making another ROM for the Smart. It will prove valuable for people unable to install Smartoonay.

I'll give it a shot if I can find some time.

Regards,

Thank you very much for your work.

I am planning on trying out an S300 for T-Mo US despite the lack of 3G support here.

I was turned off by some of the problems related to Smartoonay

Just to let you know, I think I created this rom on 1.000.19. Gonna update it to 1.000.24 sometime next week (currently on holiday)...

Would you pls tell me more.......

Dear Nikagl,

Truly appreciate your hard working on this ROM. I like this phone so much and so happy to find the ROM finally.

I've download the 2 files you split, but I have trouble to merge these 2 files together. Would you pls tell me how to unzip the files?

I will give it a try and give you some feedbacks.

Thank you so much and have a great day there.

Jerry

I have uploaded it to SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nik...0.zip/download

But please be aware, current build is based on 1.000.19 and I wil upgrade it to 1.000.24 soon... more news when I have time

Regards,

Nika.

Hi all,

I have figured out a way to install the Smartoonay ROM, see the Smartoonay thread. This project is therefore discontinued, unless someone has a good suggestion for what to change to either ROM (I can modify Smartoonays ROM in some respect too)...

Regards,

Nika.

Sorry to hear that you won't continue....

Dear Nikagl,

It is so pity that you decided not to continue the ROM. I tried to installed your ROM for several times, unfortunately, it won't work. I installed the CWM 4.0.0.8. first. It works! , I followed your instructions to carry on but when I tred to install it from the external SD and restored it from the backup, it failed and show " MD5 mismatch".

Maybe the reason is current build is based on 1.000.19. and should upgrade it to 1.000.24. My one is 1.000.24. I think. (Gen 2 )

Once you decide to work on your ROM. I will happy to try again.

Sincerely thank you for your efforts so much. You are great. I think I will donate one day.

Have a nice day over there.

Jerry
