Hi all, I've released my app in the market: PowerBoot.
PowerBoot let’s you schedule a reboot for your Android device.
Reboot modes:
-Normal;
-Recovery;

-Wipe Data;
-Shutdown.
Other features:
-Notifications;

-In-Call Reboot prevention.
NEW in V1.2:
-Preferences Menu;
-Better design, graphics and functionality for the widget.
Next version will add an enhanced scheduling system.
ROOT REQUIRED!
The app is free; if you’d like to support the development, please consider buying the DONATE version, it will be much appreciated.
Contact me for any issues you could encounter.
QR Codes are at my web page: android.canovifabio.com
good job
i will be waiting next version
Nice app, thank you for your work
Cool app, only suggestion would be to include a re-o current scheduler.
Hi
Any chance of a similar application for WM.
Thank you
Thanks for the feedbacks!
I confirm that next update will be the recurring schedules enhancement.
I think I'll publish it by the end of september at worst since at this time I'm very busy with my real job and studies.
Please accept my apologies.

I'm very sorry but I abandoned WM devices for Android last winter so I'm not developing for WM devices right now.
Fabio
App updated to version 1.2:
-Widget with better design and functionality;
-Preferences Menu;
This is a small update before the one that will bring enhanced scheduling system.
Works a treat mate, thanks!
Look forward to the recurring schedule update.
does not work for me on a rooted droid incredible running the stock 2.2 rom..
full root/s-off
The widget locks up my phone, and I cant switch homescreens on the senseui. Pushing the home key seems to "unlock" the phone and I can navigate around again.
I tried scheduling from within the app as well. The execute button goes gray and you cannot press it, but the phone never reboots..
It is added in my superuserpermissions as PowerBoot - reboot as roto(uid: 0)
Not sure what is going on since other people had success with it.
If I push reset after execute goes gray I receive an error message, reboot aborted: problem in the database.
nice app downloaded.
working on milestone 2.1 rooted just fine

As I said in the App description in the Market, rebooting on SenseUI-equipped devices through an Android app is hard because the commands to do that task are different and I don't know them yet.
So until I find a solution to that, devices running Sense may not be able to perform a reboot.
It's not my fault
BTW, this is what cause the strange behavior in your phone (fake "hang").
The error message is shown because that last attempt of rebooting is failed for the reason above mentioned and the database has then invalid data.
Any update on getting this to work with Sense UI? Have you talked with the developer who wrote Clockwork recovery? They can get the phone to reboot with Sense.
This thread might be helpful. I used the information here to reboot my phone on a schedule using Tasker.

No update yet, still searching.
I'll ask them too, thanks!
Shutdown doesn't work
Hi:
Nice app.
In my DSTL1 the option Shutdown doesn't work. It says "Reboot aborted: problem in the database, retry"
The rest of the options work without problems.
Hi guys,
Little update: I'm not dead, I just had a busy month of Sept. for job and university exams.
I'm currently working on the update to PowerBoot so keep an eye on this thread or my blog for more updates in the coming days.
I apologies to you all!
@pirracas77: dunno why it does this with your device, the next update should solve the issue since it'll change database usage.
thanks for this app.
i'm just rooted my Hero.
Will be testing the app. No one app i ve had on my Hero doesn't work so easly.
thanks one more

Hi, just a quick note to say I have the same problem when attempting to shutdown from the App (with exactly the same error meessage as reported by piraccas77), but no problem with shutdown from the widget. I am using CM6.0.2 on an HTC Desire.
This was using PowerBoot v1.2.

[ROM][32A RADIO 6.35]Eclair w/ Nexus1's 3D gallery CAM & most things are working well
this ROM is for Sapphire 32A SPL 1.76.2007 and latest Radio 6.35.07.29.
pure AOSP build, google bits and gallery are added. (make sure you think you have the rights for using the apps from google, i just make some copy for you)
thx: Cursordroid, Enomother, Cyanogen, RA, jnwhiteh, ChainsDD, sober (who have full of courage for testing my first kernel ) , and more...
what's new: less crash, more stable. new gallery app which use hardware accel. a new step to full working with our new radio.
the update.zip, just push it into ur sdcard then apply it from recovery: http://www.4shared.com/file/202007372/5352e8b4/my2x.html

if you are a 32A user with old radio, and you want a upgrade or try this ROM, follow Cursordroid's instruction to Update your 32A Magic to 6.35.07.29 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL
working (update: all confirmed by me or other users):
camera
gps
wifi
mobile data
sensor
lights
gps
bluetooth
openGL
Gallery3D
googlebits
working but leaving some questions open:
playback (will print error message in log, not tested with many format)
not working properly:
camcorder (only preview working)
I would not say "it is very fast", but I feel it fast enough. and if you do not care about the multi-media things, i think this build seems not bad.
(for the multi-media things, they are mostly caused by media libs in AOSP, which google have not done yet. (but i cannot understand why nexus-one can have a stable version !!!) it is not all the HTC/Qualcomm's fault, Google didn't do their job very well too)
if there are something I missed, or I made some mistake, don't be sulkiness plz. i will fix them with you. let us make it better and make more 32A user switching to new Radio, with more users, we can do better and more quickly.
file/things includes:
AOSP master, I keep it at the API version 5, because things with API 7 for other devices (except nexus1) are not stable, i don't want to pretend that we have a nexus1, and make things unstable.
su and superusers from ChainsDD.
kernel which i modified from msm-kernel-2.6.29.
libhtc_ril.so, omx libs are from a leaked official 2.x ROM. camera libs, libgps.so from another one. (thanks the man who provided them)
libhtc_acoustic.so and some miscs files from official 1.5 ROM. akmd too, but akmd from 1.6 ROM have newer version and i think it will works too.
google bits are come from different sources too:
Gallery3D/google framework parts from nexusone dump, i think Enomther deodexed them, thank you and I LOVE YOU.
Other google's things are versions used everywhere, and here are my thanks to the one dumped them --> m(_ _)m.
cyanogen's patch which is directed towards infinite sync. it may be a temporary workaround, when google do things right, i will remove it.
.......
more: lock screen and wallpaper is the eclair's initial one as AOSP source released with them. if you want other lock screen, customize it yourself, and tell me how ^^, I'm really not a good cooker .
known issues and workaround:
1. camcorder can not record, but it didn't crash anything as previous one (with my kernel, from jnwhiteh) would crash some.
2. video playback has many errors the video can be played though. just reported by logcat, and no more thing will happen in my tests.
3. if you stay in the Gallery3D UI, and the phone sleeps later, when it wake up, the Gallery3D lost hardware acceleration. you can quit and enter this app again, it will be fine.
4. first boot with google bits may not go without a hitch. you can remove all google apps in the zip (you must resign it) and push them later.if you boot with googlebits:
you will see a dialog let you choose the default behavior, select SetupWizard here. if you select another, you can not use internet during the first boot, it will say "no connection", though we are connected.
the SetupWizard will start twice, the second one is for asking you to sign in a google account, you can just press menu to quit.
and there are many lags in first boot, maybe black screen (can not light, you can "adb reboot" it) or some crash (i have met once for each and I flash it serveral times) if you operate too fast.
after second boot, it will works fine. it seems if we give the phone more time to do many initialize jobs, it will work happily even in first run.
5. with superuser, if you select deny, the app which needed the permissions may be force closed. it is a bug in su sources i used which is not belong to me and i have no time to look and fix it yet.
update:
6. when wake up the phone, screen turned on, but backlight of screen not. if you can see image, just go to setting and set brightness, then the light will open. need more reports (like situation/logcat/dmesg, etc.) to locate the problem. i encountered this problem once.
7. "died in sleep", this problem has been encountered by others, personally, i met it once during first run, after a reboot I never met it again. but I don't think this problem just appears during first run. instead, i think the situation of first run is more closed to the condition triggering it.
I think there must be more problems, let us find them together, and fix them by our hands.
update: after some search I found that some softwares (like nettraffic) will cause more "died in sleep" in some ROM/kernel/Radio combination. and many kinds of "died in sleep" can be avoid with some tweaks, but i don't know if they are same problems as ours, and i can not get what this tweaks are (or why, how..) from anywhere yet.
i am waiting for more details to fix 6 & 7. I will be grateful if someone can provide some info about similar problems, since I had seen these problems in some other ROM/kernel/Radio combination.
and guys who encountered these problems, could you provide more details plz? something like: occurred during first run/other, with situation XX (mobile/wifi/software X running, etc) which you think it caused the problem occurred more often. if you can reproduce it, we will get very closed to fixing them.
great job!
Another ROM using the latest SPL/Radio... great!
Downloading now.. will try flashing later...
Nice work sanpei!
Great job. I will try it immediatly.
Excellent, nice to see some other developers working on this radio/SPL version as well!
I will definitely be trying this out today!
Awesome will try when I get home from work.
Would it be possible to implement the Nexus apps-menu in a later build?
bug report:
The screen remains black (can't see anything) after sleeping even if I press any of the buttons. I just removed the battery then reboot.
Aside from that, it's quite fast and responsive. The transitions are nice too. Keep it up dude!

I will look into this, but I cannot locate this problem quickly, since I just met it once during a first boot, and it never appears again.
is it like the situation "die in sleep" in some build which are based on CyanogenMod? (when i was using old radio)
can you reproduce the problem and description the operations? thx.

Newb questions
Hi Guys,
Sorry for the lame newb questions. I just want to verify this prior to trying this ROM.
I'm currently using CursorSense 1.0.1 - which is my every day ROM (great functionality, fast, does everything I need)
I'm really interested in trying out Android 2.1 - and seeing as this uses the same SPL / Radio - it means I should be able to just wipe and flash this one. HOwever seeing as I just want to take a peek and play around with it, I don't want to screw up everything on my phone toooo badly lol.
If I do a nand backup - wipe and flash this new ROM, when I'm done, can I do a wipe, then reflash the nandroid backup and everything will go back to the way I have it setup now?
Also will anything get screwed up on my SD card leaving it as it is flopping from one ROM to the other and then back (it's non partitioned, and loaded with misc folders created from my apps)
Thanks!

Yes.. backup, wipe, flash, try, wipe, restore.. I even think that last wipe isn't even necessary, but it doesn't harm either. A Nandroid restore restores your phone exactly as you left it (incl. your call log, SMS, apps, etc.)
It could be that some new folders/files are created on your SD card (if required by Eclair apps), but since they are not used by your previous rom it won't be a problem (unless you don't want to keep those unused folders and files on your SD card).
If you are not sure, or don't want to keep the extra folders/files, you can always make a backup of your SD card on a USB or PC prior to trying the rom.
Have fun! ;-)

Yes. You can restore from nandroid backup and everything will go back. I often switch between CursorSense 0.4 and sanpei's rom several times a day.
so can anyone answer if this is a good everyday rom? or equivelant to cursor sense?

The ROM is well done. It's responsive (no lag from my playing) even the 3d gallery ran very well.
I didn't use it too long for everyday items as I'm a Sense fan, however I find that standard plain Android is pretty empty when I don't have my sense stuff on top lol.
Definately play around with it if you're interested.

Been testing it for a few hours. So far not a single FC and i can confirm that BT works just fine, also OBEX with Bluetooth File Transfer by medieval software.
SMS and emails send and get received just fine.
Tested the GPS in both google maps and the GPS status app to check efficiency, and so far everything works just fine.
The gallery is really sexy, now we just need to get the Nexus1 apps-menu implemented .
Actually there are three other things i'd like implemented also:
Animated desktop
Wireless tether
Google Nav
What do people think about that?

Update: 04/13/2010: Thanks to MagnusRagnarok, jcase, and zifnab, we now have a better fix for Rosie's LWP to make more wallpapers work and make them actually stick. I created a patch that includes the required rosie (which was included in the patch yesterday) and the OpenGL fixed that are needed to get everything going. Check the download link below!
Update: 04/12/2010: Thanks to mssmision, we now have a way to have livewallpapers in Rosie. Thanks to zenulator for bringing it over to our side of the forums. And thanks to noj for whipping up this version that still has the espresso bottom bar in tact! I figured every other rom is going to add this so I might as well too. Keep in mind that our phones couldn't handle LWP in Launcher that well, so running it in Rosie is going to be even harder on our phones. I recommend removing Weather animations (/system/app/HtcWeatherWallpaper.apk) if you are going to run this. Check the downloads below for a screen shot and the download link.
Update: 04/06/2010: If you prefer to use the stock android lock screen instead of HTC's then you no doubt have noticed that the Sprint leaks have been coming straight from Sprint with the vanilla lock screen broken. I sat down tonight and was able to resolve the issue. I created a few patches that can be used on any of the new 2.1 roms: http://geekfor.me/fixes/vanilla-lockscreen/
Just like my last rom... I hadn't planned on releasing anything until we got our official release. But this one is very very close. I had a number of people asking me to release one with working vvm so here you go. Between work and this I have been up for almost 48 hours and only sleep for 4. It's time for me to go pass out! I think almost every one of my releases has a similar statement.
Geek 4 Me is proud to bring you another 4am release:
Fresh Rom 2.0d (Android 2.1) by flipz
Changes / features:
Based on new Sprint leak (thanks damageless. Note that fresh rom is not at all based on damage control, but he shared the leak.)
Auto apps2sd (as long as your card is partitioned properly, it will use it)
Autokiller (an app that lets you dynamically set your memory kill off points -- you decide how aggressive you want to be. It will ask for root on first boot, make sure to hit always allow. Then once your phone is booted open the app to pick your setting.)
Multi-touch maps
All protected apps in market (I'll edit this if I get confirmed reports of missing apps)
Visual voicemail
Live wallpapers (yea, they're back! Keep in mind that our phone can't handle the higher end ones.)
Accelerometer working (I broke it in 2.0c while playing with a2sd at the last minute. Oops!)
Removed now defunct Sprint NFL and replaced it with the new Sprint Football Live
SMS notification led now works
Trackball led now works
No google sign on error
HTC Power Manager (do not use SetCPU!)
Espresso bottom bar by flipz
Full color HTC sliders by flipz
flash_image for flashing RA
Custom htc_ime from xda (English and Spanish activated.)
Multi-touch Google maps
Custom PRI correction by flipz (this will automatically correct your PRI so that you can update your PRL and use the Sprint apps. No crazy steps. NOTE: You will notice your radio drop out for a bit on first boot while it does this, and this is right about the time that you will be hitting the google sign on setup screen. Wait for the radio to drop and come back, and then data to return)
Nexus Launcher2 (thanks 702droid)
Removed:
Amazon mp3
GSD (HTC test program that was draining battery)
HTC Footprints
HTC Ringtone trimmer
HTC Sound recorder
HTC Stocks
Quick Office

pdf viewer
Sprint navigator
Sprint Nascar
Sprint TV

DOWNLOAD REMOVED APKS HERE: http://link.geekfor.me/fresh20dapk If you use Fresh Kitchen 1.0.5 you can copy them to your My Apk's folder and use the app installer to install them.
Added:
Busy box
Estrongs file explorer
Super User
Wifi tether 1.6 (downgraded due to DHCP/NAT issues)
Autokill
What to expect / how to flash it / READ THIS :
Download and copy the zip to the root of your sdcard
Reboot to RA and do a data wipe / factory reset (REQUIRED)
If you are running a2sd on another rom then you will most likely have to wipe your SD EXT partition also (this will delete all of your apps)
Pick flash zip from sdcard and select fresh-cdma-hero-2.0d.zip
After it finishes flashing reboot. Expect the first boot up to take a while. 5+ minutes
If it freezes during first boot then you were likely using a2sd from another rom. Unfortunately during earlier 2.x roms there were a few versions of a2sd floating around and now that is going to cause problems. If this happens to you (and you already did a factory reset like you should have) then you will need to boot in to RA and go to wipe and then Wipe SD:Ext Partition. This will delete all apps off your sdcard. You will want to reflash the rom if you have to do this or else you will be missing some apps from the rom.
When the phone boots and comes to the user setup screen you will see your radio signal drop out a short while later. This is the auto PRI being applied. Do not try adding your google or facebook accounts until after this process has happened or else it will just fail to log in.
During the setup you will also notice the new customized keyboard for the first time and you will see that the minimize button is gone. Use the enter button on the keyboard to sync your accounts, or hit your menu button to minimize it. Once the phone boots you can go in to your keyboard settings and enable "swipe down to hide" which you will use to hide the keyboard. I recommend you check out all the settings (screen shot below) to tweak it how you like it. Hate it? Grab this update to go back to htc: http://link.geekfor.me/fresh20dkbd
After you are are booted you will be prompted with a SU request for autokiller, make sure to click always allow. Expect the phone to be a little laggy for a minute as everything stabilizes. A reboot after the first bootup finishes is recommended, especially if you were previously having PRI/PRL problems.
The stock vanilla lock screen is still broken. This is straight from HTC and is how it is.
If you are using apps2sd and are re-flashing this rom without wiping for any reason then you are going to get an error during the flash that mentions an error on DATA: . This is because it can't access /data/app properly while in RA. To resolve the issue you can either do a data wipe or delete the symlink and make a folder. Assuming you are using a2sd then you won't lose any data, it just needs to make the folder. Issue the following adb commands while in RA, and then reboot in to RA again and flash the rom:
adb shell mount /data
adb shell rm /data/app
adb shell mkdir /data/app
Update:
If after flashing you end up with any data issues then first try rebooting. If that doesn't resolve it for you then try updating your profile and PRL. This is a side effect of the different PRI's and PRL's that people have ended up on. You may actually need to update your profile and PRL a couple times to get everything going but I promise it will. You should end up on PRL 60663.
Some users have reported an issue where they can't hear a caller or a caller can't hear them. Thanks to avalaunch and beyondinferno they have a possible fix. I created an update.zip for you all to see if it resolves it for you. It wipes your dalvik-cache so expect the reboot to take a long time, just like first bootup.

To quote Jack Nicholson from "A Few Good Men" -
"....I'd rather you say thank you, and be on your way. Otherwise grab a weapon and hold a post..."
This is the true social impact of Open Source....devs like Flipz, GBhil, and others who give of there time to make all of our experiences that much more enjoyable....so with that I'll say thank you....and be on my way
Description:
This aims to fix the problem that occur when you use threaded messaging mode, that is sometimes the sms's appearing in the wrong order.
Background:
This problem is due to the fact that HTC Messaging app uses the device time to stamp on a send SMS and uses the server (service provider) time in received SMS and then uses that time to show and order the SMS in the thread mode (I'm not sure if native windows mobile app has this problem too). So if your device time is not in "perfect" sync with the server time sometimes, since the server could be late in comparison to your device, the messages will appear in a wrong order.
What this fix does:
When a new message arrives, this fix replaces the message time (that comes from the server time) with the device time and this way they will always show in the order they have arrived.
Also, every time that the device time is more than 1 minute different from the SMS original time, it will show the original SMS time between "[ ]" before the SMS text to let you know that it was sent some time ago.
This could be usefull if someone sends you a message and it does not arrive at that moment because your device was off (for example), you will see the time at when the sms arrived and not the one at when it was sent.
It will also show the date if the message was sent more than 24 hours ago.
Since this is a .dll that integrates with the winmo messaging process/service it will not eat your resources constantly.
I've been using this in my HD2 and having no problem so far.
Please report any problems that you find and fell free to suggest improvements.
A reboot after install may be necessary.
Procedure to test if it is working:
1 - Before installing you can increase the time in your device for 5 minutes;
2 - Send and SMS to yourself from the same device. You will see that the sent SMS will appear after the received one;
3 - Delete both SMS.
3 - Install this fix;
4 - With the time still 5 minutes ahead of the real time, send another SMS to yourself from the same device. This time it should appear in the right order and show the server time in the beggining of the SMS like: "[13:50:30] ....".
5 - Don't forget to put the time back to normal..

1.1 [07 April 2010]
Launch version.
1.2 [08 April 2010]
Corrected the method used to find if it should show only time or also date in SMS text;
This new .cab ensures that the files are completely removed.
1.3 [26 April 2010]
Added configuration tool "SMSTimestampFixerCfg". Options:
Show/Hide original timestamp, the one between brackets;
Set the time difference that defines when to show the original timestamp;
Set the position where the original timestamp should appear.
The SMSTimestampFixerCfg application icon is not correct, I'll fix that in a next version.
1.3.1 [28 April 2010]
Fixed bug that was making version 1.3 useless (not reading the settings correctly).
1.3.2 [10 April 2011]
Removed extra space from "[ hh:mm:ss]".
SMSTimestampFixerCfg Settings:
"Show original timestamp": Enable or disable showing the original (service provider) timestamp between brackets in SMS text;
"Show if difference is bigger than": The original timestamp will only appear if the difference between your device's time and service provider's time is greater than the value specified here. This setting only takes effect if "Show original timestamp" is selected;
"Position": Defines if the original timestamp should appear before (beggining) or after (end) the SMS text.This setting only takes effect if "Show original timestamp" is selected.
You need to press the "Apply" button to apply settings. There should be a message box informing that the settings where applied. If the settings are not applied, do a soft reset.
ATTENTION: You should always remove the previous version and soft reset before installing a new one. When installing a version greater than 1.3 it should show a message with "SMSTimestampFixer XXX sucessfully registered" where XXX is the version number. If it does not show the correct version you should remove the application, soft reset and reinstall it.

Cool thanks for sharing going to try it out. This messaging problem has been really annoying. Hope this helps.
Thanks alot, testing it now
so has anyone tested this yet?
Added test procedures to the first post.
Perfect *.cab ^^
I've install and have no problem
Thanks you sir
Thanks, applying now and will see if any issues pop up. I've been getting annoyed by this and was looking for a fix.
Thank you thank you!!! this fixes my last little annoyance with the phone. Now its perfect!
this should be stickied or somehting
Thanks for the feedback
I've uploaded a new version (1.2), check the first post.
This is just plain excellent. I'm pretty excited that someone has finally decided to CALL UPON such an issue... then FIX it.
This thread certainly NEEDS more attention... with that said, TELL YOUR FRIENDS FOLKS!
worked for me on tmo us
thanks for the fix!
i think it fix my problem but as i not using htc messages.. cant see now lol
thanks
Thanks, just installed and tested, seems to work great !
I can't provide a point-of-reference in this case, as I haven't bothered to actually install the application JUST YET, but I have a feeling that eventually it will come in handy. Now having said that, IF there is anything else that can be done to further enhance this application, any improvement at all... continue to make it happen, and I'll be sure to bring more awareness to this sweet little fix.
ahhh finally, thanks for this
soo perfect... thank you, thank you!

Great!
OMG i can't express how much you made my day DeadVirus, this issue has been annoying me like mad and all i could find was cabs that fixes the time zone issue which don't help. Although i have yet to try the cab, but i'm looking forward to trying it! Thanks so much! Been ranting to HTC and they are doing nothing, and thank goodness for xda and people like you! Thanks! Looking forward to your future work or improvements to this fix, probably can look into the sms lag and other problems? Still, thanks so much!! Appreciate it man! Cheers!

Market Fix Must be Re-done.
Android Developers have started posting photos
of the new market rolling out soon.
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/android-market-client-update.html
"The Android Market engineering team has been hard at work on improving the Android Market experience for users and developers. Today, I’m pleased to announce a significant update to the Android Market client. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be rolling out a new Android Market client to all devices running Android 1.6 or higher.
This new Market client introduces important features that improve merchandising of applications, streamlines the browse-to-purchase experience, and makes it easier for developers to distribute their applications.
With a focus on improving discoverability and merchandising, we’ve introduced a new carousel on the home and category screens. Users can quickly flip through the carousel to view promoted applications and immediately go to the download page for the application they want. Developers have been very active in creating great Widgets and Live Wallpapers. To make it easier for users to find their favorites, we’re introducing two new categories for Widgets and Live Wallpapers. Applications that include Widgets and Wallpapers will be automatically added to those new categories. We’ll also be adding more categories for popular applications and games in the weeks ahead. In addition, the app details page now includes Related content, which makes it easier for users to quickly find apps of similar interest."
I think it looks great and cant wait for the update.
someone's posted the apk in a nexus one thread. i assume it can be used on the gtab.

Good Find, and yes it does work I just tried it.

You must Re-Do Market fix
I applied the vegan b2 update and after applying the new market update, I didn't need to apply the market fix. Not sure if the b2 resolved he market fix issue, but was pleasantly suprised.
Good find. Nice UI. Fix worked well. Wish Roebeet add this to next update.

Few questions please:
1. Which link do we use? One at very top?
2. Install via Clockwork and update.zip?
3. Does it open more of the market up, or same as current market (without the system hack using Root Explorer).
4. Will it work with TnT 2.20?

1. Yes top link
2. Yes clockwork and Select zip from sd
3. I am able to see everything in market
4. Yes it will work on TnT 2.20 if the TnT you have is TnT lite.
CAUTION: Would not download this, based on my experience with TnT 2.20:
Nice interface, but not the full market. Games like Tank Hero and other apps still do not show up.
More importantly:
Seems the graphics are broken, since stars for apps are cut off and no button options to actually update the apps.
Something is wrong with this app in relation to the Gtablet and at least TnT 2.20.
Looks like I will be restoring with clockwork, since this app appears borked as far as interface.
Did you folks actually try to update or download an app?
Update 2:
OK, the tiny cut-off line above the uninstall icon bar is what you press. Just have to be precise to press it, but it works. Press it twice.
Rush,
Not sure what you're seeing but as stated in the other post, I'm able to update just fine. (clicking "my apps" lead me to the downoads screen and my available updates show up. Just updated Eagle Nest to be sure)
The game Tank Hero appears on the search list but no app when selecting
Running Vegan b3.

On TnT 2.20, the top icon is cut-off and can not see letters, just bottom few pixel rows. Uninstall icon shows up completely. Rating stars are also cut off. Only shows half of one star for all.
Tank Hero has always been missing.
added:
The cut-off icons and missing stars bugged me. Restoring with clockwork now.
Is there a way to roll back? It doesn't work so well on TnT 2.2...would prefer for a better implementation.

I had to restore with Clockwork mod to get it back. Not sure if less extreme options. Will use this as a lesson to NOT jump so quickly again. App is semi broken with TnT 2.20.

Just about to install new market fix but then I saw your post.
Thanks for info.
I've been trying to get this to work for hours, now - only worked once, then FC's every time after. And it's not an ACLs issue. Market fix / user data wipe and market fix, doesn't matter. FC's.
I won't be rushing to get this into any build, as is just doesn't work for me (yet).
How is everyone installing this, I have had zero FC and everything is installing and updating fine. I am on tnt lite 2.2
Just FC'ing on VEGAn build, TnT Lite is A-OK (except the screen glitches).
I had no problem with the market app update on TnT Lite 2.3, although I was only able to get the basic list of market apps. The tweaks to get the 'near' full market did not work for me. Then, I performed the blackout market update, and I still wasn't able to get the full market. I had to do a full reinstall of TnT Lite 2.3 (wiped user data) in order to restore the full market.
The only issue I can see is the stars, which are all the same (TnT 2.4.0 prototype). I'm considering adding this to 2.4.0, even with that glitch - seems that the good outweighs the bad.
EDIT: Nah, gotta pull it. I can live with the stars, but the cutoff text is a real mess. Must not be setup for 1024x600 screens (yet).

Have just pulled the update down my self, and the installation seemed to go well. The update has resulted in the following error: “Unfortunately, VirusScan Mobile has stopped.”, and with the options “Report” and “OK”. Regardless of pressing send or OK, the same pop-up appears half a second later. Power of and on have not help.
I don’t know what to do right now to get rid of the problem. The device is useless right now.
If you think about upgrading, I would think twice before jumping into the update. Might be better to wait until more success stories appears
BR Steen
Update: Acer Denmark was not able to help (unless I would return it). I succeded in getting into the settigns menu and killed the VirusScan Mobile, so I am able to use it for now (until I have to reboot it )

Ive had the same Problem.
With a taskkiller i have killed the app temp. and then i have erase the Data from Virusmobile in the Setup->Apps.
Until now no Popup.
But i don't konw if the Virusmobile is still running.
Calendar issue
The calendar keeps forgetting what calendar/calendars have be selected for viewing.
BR Steen
Also just installed it - Mobile Virusscan was a bit annoying to stop because the FC message pops up in the foreground like every second, leaving you unable to proceed, so you gotta be quick to get into app control...
I deactivated it and switched to Avast! which I already have on my SGS2 and am quite happy with.
That done I must say I'm a bit disappointed performancewise, I don't really have the feeling it got any faster or more fluid.
I had the A700 EMEA_DE but when check for update it say your device is up-to-date
How you got the update can anyone please upload the update zip file?
Awesome! I also got the update, but will this wipe all my current apps and stuff?
Edit:
I read after searching (hehe, sorry, replied too quick), that OTA updates never wipe the installed apps and data. It only updates system related stuff.
Edit2:
Phew, download is SLOW!
Edit3: Sorry, it's not slow, it's fast, but the tablet was almost out of range of the router.
I got the update too in Germany.
My download was quite fast though. No it doesn't change anything in your userdata.Apps and settings are the same.
For me it seems much smoother in the first 5 minutes i checked it out.
Big improvement as far as i could see.
Someone knows what about the A701?

Nice surprise
Unluckily when I start a manual search for updates, I get the following error meaasge: "System update is not allowed on your device".
Haven't tried it before, because there was nothing to search for. I think it's due to rooting the device, right?
I used method 2 from this post.
Any ideas how to get the update working?
------------------------------
With temp unroot from OTA RootKeeper I can manage to search for an update, but there seems to be nothing available for my device until now.
(Installing might fail anyway due to the patched kernel.)
Yeah I said it is coming soon, I am made great acer muahah but unfortunately I do not have the update.

Anyone in the US get it? I keep being told my software is up to date but I'm still on 4.0.4

I have the DE version living in Germany but no update
The A500 ICS update. Also not push to all peoples at the same time.
So I thank DE JB version also like that.
Remember the "Power MANAHEMENT" update?
Also push to DE version first, than FR. and US will be the last.
And HK version need to wait one more month later.
Any feedback on the touch sensitivity after the update?
it will be really appreciated when a lucky german user will upload a cwn dump !
What this update does
The update installs the following stuff:
- JB, obviously. Which includes changing the time font, Recent Apps and colour of the soft button pressing (gray instead of blue).
- Google Chrome.
- Acer Cloud.
- Google Currents.
- Google Voice Search (Google Now).
The update installs the following widgets:
- Google Play Books (doesn't seem to work).
- Google Play Music.
- Play - My Library.
- Play Recommendations.
It Improves the touch experience greatly. Note that the option in the Settings is set back to "Normal", you can change it to "High" but it doesn't seem to be necessary.
No other languages are added.
Google Play Store doesn't seem to be updated. I still need to download the full app after an update.
All the apps start and shut down fast, only the launcher doesn't seem to work that smooth anymore. Maybe try another launcher like Apex?
Also, I can't seem to expand the notifications. Long pressing the notifications shows an option to open the app info.
Can't it play Dead Trigger with Ultra High setting smoothly?
The ics is fxxking lag when playing this game...
