[NIGHTLY][ROM][4.2.2] CyanogenMod 10.1 for Acer A700

[eiben_robert]

I've been using the stock non-rooted JB 4.1.2 for the last 4 months and overall pretyy happy with it. Yesterday I decided to take CM 10.1 for a spin with the latest nightly.

Overall impressions from a CM10.1 newbee:

- interface speed: I do not spend much time scrolling in the interface but a subjective opinion it "feels ok". Stock JB was "buttery smooth" while cm 10.1 felt "more high performance ICS".
- Shadowgun Deadzone and Blitzbrigade seem to play smoother ( maybe is only placebo)
- overall app performace / browsing / google currents is very good (better than stock but again maybe placebo)
- the new 4.2.2 tablet interface is easy to adjust to but the notification center (the one with quicksetting) looks a bit hand-made (not so polished)
- overall stock interface looks more polished while CM 10.1 is more "clean"

For sure I will continue to use CM10.1 for the time being. I need to find a "Galery" which syncs with Picasa than I am done.

Thanks again for the hard work in CM 10.1

Thanks

Robert

Tty setting the screen sensitivity in advanced settings to highest. Infinitely better! One of my gripes about stock was the screen stabbingly atrocious screen responsiveness. With CM on highest setting, screen is fine for me.

he was talking about the responsiveness of the interface/UI which is more smooth in 4.1.1.
You can notice that when navigating through the homescreen and drawer, which seems a little bit more choppy in CM 10.1.
It can be optimized by removing uneccessary hardware layers.

I'am on the last RC 10.1.1 When i flash the newest nightly my tablet freeze in the first screen. I can see only green Acer font on the screen with all nighlys after the last rc. Before i have flashed i wiped the cache and dalvik.

The nightly from the 22-07-2013 had this problem on most devices but the latest nightly is fine for me. Is it possible to go back to the last working RC/ nightly then update straight to the latest once confirmed that it's working?

Yesterday. I was flash cm-10.1-20130727-NIGHTLY-a700.zip build from cm-10.1.0-a700.zip build.
I think Sleep of Death (SOD) occur again.
I did factory reset and format system before flash.

I was on 20130725 and now i'm on 20130731. Both nightlies didn't have problems.

When i install flash (modded one from xda) the brower starts freezing after some use.

Another question, do you have some info about the SElinux update? Only activated trough init.d? Or aslo a buttun in settings?

I'm also a bit confused regarding the different branches, there's 10.1 -10.1.0 - 10.1.2 what is the difference, in the change logs i couldn't find a big difference

SELinux is not activated in normal builds for 10.1, a special flag must be set when building. SELinux will be activated in permissive mode in 10.2.

10.1 - Main branch based on Android 4.2
10.1.0 - 10.1.2 - Stable releases (forked from the main branch a certain period before the release)

@pawitp Is Cyanogenmod 10.2 (Android 4.3) realistic for our a700?

It'll probably eventually get it. I just don't have the free time right now to port it.

Hi,

As far as I have read this thread, I didn't see any mean to use a file system that support big files on the external SD. (read/write)

ExFat is not supported and if the kernel is changed it won't work anyway because of some CM RamDisk mgmt.
Ext 2/3 difficult to deal with when you use windows.
NTFS : read only ... I've tried.. didn't mount my card.

It would be great to have exFat support, can we dream of it ? Or it'll never happen ?

Which file system may work ?

Thanks,
Seb

Hello, I have since the latest RC1 and 2 releases sometimes a loop boot. Not each time. I found out when the tablet is cold, it start directly, when I reboot (that mean in a warm state) then loop boot.

Please connect your tablet to a PC while it's looping and get a logcat.

Hi Pawitp,

I've tried yesterday evening to adb logcat my tablet, but on both PC (Win 8 x64) I have the device offline. I'am able to transfer file as it's connected as media device. The USB Debugging is on, I didn't yet find a solution. Have you an idea?

In the same time, my a700 was powered up all the evening without WLAN, and has not crashed. A short time after Power ON WLAN, bing bang bong crash and loop boot... The loop boot is on the Acer Logo.

UPDATE: adb works now, I have to set the media connected as Camera (PTP), not as Media Device (MTP).
locgat is running now...

... 3 hours logcat without crash!... 2 days of logcat without crash!

I think I have found the troublemaker, shortly before I have started the logcat, I have uninstalled "WLAN Manager"... Of course I will make more tests to be sure that my a700 works now stable.

Please connect your tablet to a PC while it's looping and get a logcat.

Newbie needs help.
I am an Android Noob & rooting & using custom Roms complete Noob.
I have the Acer A700 running stock 4.1.1
I have unlocked the boot-loader & rooted it.
I need to install CWM recovery backup still & install the custom rom of course.

QUESTION: I want to use cm 10.1.2 stable build I can use this Rom correct? What confuses me is in the title it says 4.2.2. There is no more OTA updates available on the tablet.

I have been using a youtube video for help but it is for installing iconiaN 2.6. I can't post it cause I am a noob. It's the only one I saw for the a700 from LASERWOLF452. It has horrible video but this is what I have been watching.

QUESTION: Are the install instructions the same? (except pointing it to the right rom of course)

The instructions from the youtube video for the iconiaN 2.6 are as follows in a nutshell.

step 1. download the recovery backup

step 2. download the IconiaN ROM from Vorbeth (I will use the cm 10.1.2 stable build)

step 3. PUT BOTH FILES IN EXTERNAL SD CARD

step 4: open ADB and type "adb reboot-bootloader"
device will be loaded into fastboot

step 5. if u downloaded the standard CWM (non-touch)
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-a700-6015.img"

for touch version
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-a700-6015-touch.img" (I was going to use the touch version)

step 6. when successful press and hold power button till device shuts down then turn it on, let it boot into the OS

step 7. type adb reboot recovery

step 8. go to back up and restore then chose backup

step 9. after back up go back, click wipe cache Partition

step 10. go to advanced and click wipe dalvik cache and click go back

step 11. click on wipe data/factory reset

step 12. click install zip from sd card/chose zip from external sd card/ then click on iconiaN-acer-a700-2.6.zip (again I will use cm 10.1.2 stable build)

step 13. follow the onscreen instructions (please note) when u are done installing the rom and device boots in it be in a different language just set it to English (top selection area) and that u are in the US (bottom selection area) then hit next


Just need a little confirmation that I can use this and follow these directions so hopefully I don't brick my device.

Question: In this thread it says "Optionally install the Google Addon" Will this be during or after the new rom install?

Thanks
