It appears that Bluetooth tether doesn't work. Can't tell if it's my phone (SG SIII), or the A500. Anyone have success with BT tether?

Something happened and gapps just selfdeleted, I couldn't find any app of it's package. I flashed gapps from the first post once again and it didn't helped. Apps appeared in apps grid but I can't add Google profile in tne settings, cuz there is no such option in tnere. What is wrong?

Try wiping /system, cache and dalvic in recovery and flash ROM then GAPPS. In that order. No need to wipe DATA. that should work

Do you remember what exactly fixed issues like:
- choppy video replay
- tablet not waking up except pressing power key

I have these on my personal build (not a big deal for me, but still).

PJ, I've been on Thor's rom befor I installed yours and there USB worked fine, particulally with Joystick. But it seems your rom doesn't support it. My joy doesn't even powered on plugging in. USB flash drives are powered and work fine with the tablet but not the joy. Why?
I'm currently on build1, I'll try build 2 in this evening

Thanks for this second release, everything seems good!
Just noticed that 3g symbol appears without 3g dongle on a500... and settings are there...
Nothing realy annoying :)

Edit: mic is not working with search, the same with external mic.

What new wifi driver changes?

bcmdhd wifi driver is newer and better than our current bcm4329 driver.

Thanks for your report. I have not tried USB 3G.
Should I remove the 3g symbol in the next build.

I noticed on github you recently implemented ntfs-3g. I would like to port this to the g-tablet, and was wondering if the R/W was functional or not ready yet. it appears as though it should work.

I have tried with the A500, but I have something wrong. It may work on your device.

NO, Im workin on it. If i could get the read-only ntfs first, it would help, not much difference between our devices. I will surely let you know if I figure it out, hope you'll do the same :)

Do you know where the source is for either an A200 or A500?? my buddy's A200 has read/write ntfs stock, and read only on the cm10 build I installed, which I think is yours, but with A200 device files.

Tried this yesterday, looks good and UI seemed nice and quick.

BUT like every recent CM10 build, the SoD's make it unusable. Soon as it goes into standby/screen off that's it. Have to force power off and reboot, every single time.

There is something in the CM10 code base causing it or making it worse, both of these have done the exact same thing:
CM10 Jellytime - The Return - R3
CM10 JellyBean 4.1.2 Unofficial for acer a500 [Build 2]


But my fallback is a really old WSD CyanogenMod 10 Preview build from August which only does the SOD randomly rather than every single time.

Might be time to bin this damn thing and get another 10" tablet.

The SoD issue maybe something to do with one of the early suspend/resume routines in the driver. Enable debugging in the earlysuspend base file and see which driver is causing the SoD.

    AROMA

    I made a AROMA package for this nice rom and maybe I make a full rom based on this if time allows me.
    For Aroma installer you need to be on one of the following custom recovery's
    ezterry's A500PubRecovery
    or
    TWRP 2.1.3 (not 2.2...)
    or
    Thor 1.7.3
    or
    ra-recovery 3.17 (recovery-ra-iconia-3.17-gnm)


    NOTE:
    This may work on other CM10 roms but didn't test.(Probably mods will cause problems due to systemUI and framework differences)

    You use EGL libraries from which firmware?

    I use EGL from CM10 Preview by waydownsouth and I use sysctl.conf https://github.com/PlayOSS-Dev/andr...mmit/ee5b6b45ec167e527308069327bbe17442db312f

    nice, i got it. What about 3G, GPS, brightness sensor?

    I have not tried to use 3G, But GPS is working well.
