I used ADW Launcher Ex with Taboonay 2.2 last time didnt have any prob.

What problem you gettin?

Btw i never tried lightspeed ROM before so i cant compare with Thor ROM

But Thor ROM is definitely faster than Taboonay and honeyvillain

super lag when using ADW with taboonay...hahaha....anyway...flashed thor's kernel ytd with adw with OC till 1.4....n its super sweet....fast n smooth....thx for the info Vail!!....btw.....do  get some FC's when running HD games??
*
hmm i dont think thats taboonay issue. probably the kernel ur using have problems .

If you want to use Taboonay, suggested using richardtrips kernel. make sure u turn governor to On Demand to avoid lag.

For FC on HD Games, what games you havin problem?

So far only Nova 2 i couldnt load it with Thor ROM.
The rest are fine.
(asphalt 6, 9MM HD, Backbreaker THD, Angry Birds HD, GOF2 THD,Guerilla Bob THD, Hero of Sparta HD, Lets Gold 3 HD, N.O.V.A HD, NFS Shift HD, Spiderman HD, Sprinkle THD, Riptide GP THD, etc)

hi guys, i've got an issue here.

i'm on virtuous picasso 3.1 (v1.1.10) base kernel unity v5

after a month long not touching the device (charger got stolen) i finally booted it up. Updated an entire library of apps, probably 150 in total....

and then found out that my SDCARD and USB is unusable.

i went to CWM (acer recovery tool) that uses itsmagic. when i tried to load from SDCARD it says "E:/SDCard is not found" or something similar to that.

for some weird reason i only had a downloaded version of US based GEN 3.0 stock honeycomb in the recovery.
should I

1) force downgrade to 3.0?
2) sent it in for warranty?
USB and SDCARD just won't load.

or any other avenues that i should pursue?

will attempt to have round 2 by 3pm later. feedback very much appreciated.

CWM > Flash New ROM > See whether got problem.

and check whether ur SDCard is working (remove it and use SDcard reader to check and format it as well)

idk about rmvb format, but most of A500 users recommend MX Video Player *source at xda*

Its free and support hardware/software acceleration.

what to tell acer in order to get replacement?
*
flash back to stock 3.1


tell acer that ur device reboots randomly.


tell them ur device also sometimes doesnt wake up on sleep

tell them u cant show it to them coz it happens randomly but happening more often

*can find more and more problems in xda. just keep it related to ur processor issues*

Did anyone knoe our iconia back cover is made by plastic pr alluminium? I read somewhere it says it is alu but some of them says it is plastic. But the feel is like a plastic paint to look like a brushed metal.

ES Explorer > internal SD Card > Find Gameloft Data Folder

I think root is only needed when you want to mount the system partition

About printing using USB port, depending whether the manufacturer has designed an app for the printer in android


If you wanna print with A500, there are two apps thats good to be used

Cloud Print
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.p...loudprint&hl=en

PrinterShare
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.d...ntershare&hl=en

But both doesnt work on USB
