Hi,
If you bought an Acer Iconia Smart (S300) you probably noticed that most apps don't use full screen mode on this unusual device.
This is a pitty but it can be adressed. How ? Thanks to a (badly) hidden menu that can enable/disable a compatibility mode.
You'll still see some badly coded apps that won't fill the whole screen but hey... they are badly coded so you don't want them on your device !
Here is how to access that hidden menu.
First step : install "Lancher Pro (Free)" from the market.
You can uninstall it after this process.
Once installed click on the home menu of you phone :
If you want to keep using Acer Launcher just tick the box and click on Application Launcher.
The following exemple uses the Acer interface as default.
Go back to your homescreen, find a screen that has a free icon space and click on "menu".U
Then click "Add"
Then "Shortcut"
Then"Activities"
Now go down and click on "Settings" :
Go to "Compatibility Settings"
Click on it
Now you have a shortcut on your screen :
Go click on it :
untick the "Compatibility Mode" box
Now just click on your "home" button or back to go return to your homescreen and enjoy your fullscreen experience!
The shortcut you created can be deleted and Launcher Pro can be uninstalled as you probably will never want to go back !
I LOVE THIS PHONE MORE THAN EVER with this trick THANKS BUDDY. ciaoo
Some devices/ROM-versions also have a *#*#4224#*#* option. Just dial it and see if it works (no need for Launcher Pro ).
Nice trick thanks for the code it's much easier

And it works well in most applications some home screens that cannot cope with the large resolution, but when using the Acer home, I haven't really encountered any apps that had problems

There's no ICS yet. I did see a MIUI rom on a Russian website, but haven't tested it yet. I wouldn't try rooting or other stuff, unless you have a specific reason...
thank you
Totally works thank you is their any way I can get ice cream sandwich on this phone without rooting it as I have no idea on how to do that :laugh:

You won't because it doesn't exist yet
And it probably will never come as Acer will not release ICS for the Iconia Smart. It may come from independant devs but I don't know who... Vache had an Iconia Smart but it's broken so he won't be able to do it... He did begin on porting CM9 but was stopped by 3G support (otherwise the phone was running fine).

Maybe you can convince Vache to share his sources so some others can continue development? I have asked a while ago, but never received a response...
Nevertheless, may I recommend the MIUI ROM that I have added to the forum today? It's really nice imho. I only have a problem with my APN list, no other issues so far...

micro sd storage
im just wondering does any one know how to make their micro sd the main storage for every thing on the s300 please
Nika : for Vache sources see if he has a github or something. I know he shared his sources with lens_flare over at modaco. MT and Smart share the same sources.
And don't get your hopes up about ics on the Smart. I don't trust support about updates as they usually have no clue about this.

You have 6.5 GB available on main storage, so why would you want that?! On other devices I've seen that you need to modify "vold.fstab" (ie. root required). Also on other forums I've seen people use link2sd for it (also root required)...

I've quickly looked at his github, but nothing there for S300. Will look further when I have time (or nothing to do ). I did see they develop ICS on the MT actively, so maybe we should wait till they have it more stable over there
bug
i think i found a bug. when i return to my home screen, on the bottom just above the phone, message, ... apps, there are five small pèoints to show you on what home screen you are. but my backgroung is moving around these points like hell, and after i opened and closed an app, there remains still a part of the app near these five points. my background is a custom photography, with a pre-installed background everything works perfectly.
hope you find a solution :S
but it s a great tutorial thanks for that:good:
There has been a lot of unpleasantness within the small community of THL W100 owners in the past couple of days which have ended with the closing of a few threads, which I find quite disappointing, as there was a lot of good information in them, and some useful links, most importantly for me, a link to a download of the THL W100 stock rom, which I have only just realised I do not possess any more. If anyone has this on their computer, please, please upload it so we all can benefit.
I'm planning on starting a custom rom for the THL w100, but I can't start it without the stock rom. I have access to the ThL.W100.130701.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P32_MT6589 ROM, but I am looking for the first hardware revision's stock ROM.
Things I am planning on doing to the rom include
Stock AOSP Lockscreen
Screenshot in power menu
Dictionary fix
Optional resizing of "internal SD card" into phone storage
Hopefully a camera fix for the newer hardware
Easy GPS.conf
Some minor speed tweaking
Integration with the amazing GravityBox
No Bloat!
That was the majority of my ideas I believe, I wrote them previously in a thread which ended up being deleted unfortunately.
Please note that I do not care about donations, and I am most certainly NOT trying to rip off or steal from any other THL W100 custom ROM developers.
Hopefully the THL W100 users can find this thread and assist on my search, and together we can build a great custom ROM for the THL W100, a very deserving phone!
awesome, what has happened? admins delete all the thread? omg and all our post and aditional info too?
what happened to roeddie, phenomenal xp?, i came too late maybe
omg, thx for trying to help us WeekendWarrior

Any known ways to root THL with new software 130701?
Anyone know from which camera firmware change? I think it is from 07/01/13 and there is a previous firmware ThL.W100.130627.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P32_MT6589 that works for the first W100 THL.

Anyway, some Thai guy can successfully root w100 with 130701 firmware.
Here is how i did. (tested, work !)
- Back up and make sure that you can accept the risk of brick you phone. This is from trials and errors, guru please suggest if there is anything wrong with this method.
- Download UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/339/Sup...erSU-v1.41.zip
copy to the root of your microSD. (without zip extraction)
- Install official firmware 130701 from needrom
- Install CWM recovery, i used previous version of RO.EDi, v6.0.3.2, installed with SP Tool.
*** I used scatter-loading file that come with 130701
*** I choose only "recovery checkbox" and browse to "recovery.img" from RO.EDi W100 CWM v6.0.3.2
- Turn the phone off and enter CWM
- install zip from sd card -> choose zip from sdcard -> UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip
- Reboot and enjoy rooted W100"

FOR ABOUT 8 SEC until u are into recovery menu.

I seem to have selected the phones self check / diagnostic option which it started checking SIMs, Audio Volume and GPS, I then removed the battery and it was all OK. I would recommend against doing this unless you know what your doing or able to change the language to one you can understand...

You've accessed the THL stock recovery I think, you need to flash CWM onto your phone.
it definitely is the THL recovery, there are quite a few options to select from, would be nice if we could get a better handle of what the THL recovery is capable of, may have its own built in ROM Flashing capabilities with no need to use CWM.
does anyone have stock firmware 05/04/13?

Hi,
I can't find anything on XDA about your device, but one of the first 2 for methods in this directory may possibly work for you.... Use at your own risk of course,
XDA Root Directory
As far as a newer android version goes.... Unless someone stays development for your device, you will probably have to wait for the manufacturer to update you.... Assuming they do.
Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the answer.
That seems some what dangerous method to root :crying: , but I will see if it will work :fingers-crossed:
Unfortunately I think they wont update it to a later android version. I was thinking if I could update through an unofficial way?
The main reason is to use the apps mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329080 , to remove the buggy touch buttoms, that sometimes when pressing back it also takes screenshots or and reduces the volume, also happens when Im just scrolling the setting menu or in some games, that is really annoying . And to reduce the resolution to see if I can get some better fps in games, though the gpu is a mali 400. But that requires 4.3 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer
Rooting has nothing to do with updating... In a way.
Yes, developers can often create aosp roms for devices with Android versions higher than the devices official last version. But I can't find any for your device. And yes, you need root and a custom recovery for flashing roms. So those root methods probably won't help with that.
So it's up to the manufacturer to update you.... And they may have stopped updating your device, or just haven't yet. Updates can come very slow, if ever for less popular devices I'm afraid.
As far as Rooting being risky, yes it can be. Everything we do when altering our devices can be risky. It comes with the territory.
---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------
If you want to avoid risk for now, I suggest asking for help in the 2nd link I gave you. ?

I've install Ubuntu Touch, the last Nightly, the last 2.2 and the last 2.1 (available on your site) with MultiROM on my Nexus 5. Unfortunately, all FirefoxOS installations have the same problem : my SIM card is not detected. Neither Ubuntu Phone nor Android 5 have this issue. Does anyone already seen that ? Any clue on how to fix that problem ? I'm also French with "Free" French network, in case that could help.

HOW TO INSTALL FFOS on your NEXUS 5 with MultiROM (Tuto for Beginner)
Hello dear excited non developer free fellow,
If like me, you want to try Mozilla FFOS on a phone and are tempted by trying a multiboot system on a Nexus 5, here is how I did, in just one evening.
First, I discovered this page, from Tasssadar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/mod-multirom-v24-t2571011
and then, this one, well the one you are coming from actually, from Vosky,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/nightly-firefox-os-t2960953
I read the first page of Tassadar thread, and I didn't understand anything! It's normal if you do to, there are many words you need to get familiar with. Read it (not more than the first page for now), don't worry, we will come back to it later.
Then, you have to read all Vosky's Thread from page 1 to 9 (maybe after will be good too but at the date I'm writing, they are not written yet . A lot of your questions will be answered. Don't assume that my explanations will be enough, you need to have a bigger picture of the process, you need to read all these pages.
First, it gets clearer how you'll download FFOS. You have to download from http://ffos.vosky.fr/ from the Recovery column. Today, saturday 2015/05/09 you have three choices, two quiet stables versions called "Pre-releases", V2.1 is the one to choose if you don't have Android Lollipop, and V2.2 if you have Android Lollipop, then, if you want to try the last features and help to detect bug, you can go for the last "Nightly builds" which are the latest work done by Mozilla's team on FFOS 3.0.
Good, now you need to go back reading Tasssadar's Thread. If their are still word that you don't understand, check what they mean. I didn't read much of this one because I decided to go for the easiest way. I followed the "Installation Via MultiROM Manager app". On the page of the app,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr
there is a great video. You need to watch it before going further.
If you are as newebe than me in this case, after installing the app, you'll have a red warning saying something like "MultiROM Manager app couldn't get root access". No worries, you just need to unlock and root your Nexus 5.
For That, I follow Chainfire's Thread here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/nexus-5-cf-auto-root-t2507211
and this very precise video,
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-and-unlock-the-google-nexus-5-xda-developer-tv/
I know it works for Android Lollipop V5.0 and V5.1 but earlier version, sorry, I don't know. Watch the video a first time entirely and then, watch it and pause after each step to catch up what they are doing. It's easy and very well explained. You'll need to download CF-Auto-Root here https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ . Look for the download link at the line Nexus 5.
Now, you can go back to the previous video, the one about MultiROM Manager app that you find here, remember,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr
As you watch entirely before, you can follow it step by step, pausing sometime to catch up what they are saying. Read again "Installation Via MultiROM Manager app" paragraph on Tasssadar's Thread if a warning Kernel: doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch! in red letters appears. I install the default one called Stock 5.1 if I remember well (I have Android 5.1 installed on my Nexus 5).
Read again the beginning of my post to choose the FFOS version you need to download.
What is not said in the video is that when the download is finished, and he is going to Install, he is in an environment we are not so familiar, because they didn't explain earlier what it is. It's the recovery mode. You reach it after shutting down your phone and start your phone with pushing the down volume button. You'll find the little robot you've met earlier to Install CF-Auto-Root, you choose Recovery mode with up or down volume and select it with power button, then you will recognize what he is saying in the video... clicking on "Advance" and stuff.
The end is so easy, as far as you know where you put your zip file of FFOS in your Nexus 5.
Enjoy!
And if you want to install Ubuntu Touch, I don't need to give you any explanation, it's so easy. You just go back in your Android, in MultiROM Manager app and after choosing the Ubuntu you want, you click on Install.
I guess, my only request would be to ask our great devs Vosky and Tasssadar to work together in order to offer us a so well integration of FFOS than Ubuntu Touch inside the MultiROM Manager app. It would be perfect!
Don't forget to Thank Vosky, Tasssadar and Chainfire by clicking on the "Thanks" button (a thumb) at the bottom of their first post on their Thread, the button will become yellow. They are doing a great job! Tell them!
Now, if you have a problem to install FFOS or Ubuntu Touch on your Nexus 5, don't come after me, I can't help more than that. However, I'm sure if you ask a polite question on this Thread that has not been yet answered thousands time, you'll get a quick answer!
Enjoy freedom.
[Now, I have to figure out how to import my contact into Mozilla FFOS V3.0 from my Mozilla Thunderbird 31.6 without being friend of Google, and that my dear seems way much more complicated. A simple usb cable and a sync or even import button are out of dream today... how weird!]
HOW TO UPDATE your FFOS ROM !
It's not more complicated than installing. Download here, http://ffos.vosky.fr/ , the FFOS version you want, in the recovery column. Copy it in your phone.
You return in the recovery mode. You reach it after shutting down your phone and start your phone with pushing the down volume button. You'll find the little robot you've met earlier again, you choose Recovery mode with up or down volume and select it with power button, then you have to follow this path : click on Advanced - MultiROM - List ROMs - select your previous FFOS ROM and click on Flash ZIP - select the zip of the FFOS ROM you've just downloaded - SWAP- click on Reboot.
You've just updated your FFOS ROM!
screenshot and phone answering?
Hello,
I installed FFOS3.0, the same nightly build, on two nexus 5, one for me, one for my mum.
Two questions : once, my mum took a screenshot of an app, but she can't remember how, and I didn't manage so far to take any with my nexus.
How do you take a screenshot with FFOS 3.0 on your nexus 5?
[Then, don't ask me how is that possible but the way we both answer a phone call is different. I just have to click on on of the two buttons, a red on the left and a green a green on the right to decline or answer the call. She has to slide a button to left (red) or right (green) to do the same. How to choose if you want two buttons and click or one button to slide?]
I found the solution : if I switch on the developer mode, I have the two buttons but if I'm not in developper mode, I have the switching button.
Thank you,
A bigger firefox when the phone start?
Hello,
It's not a big deal but, at the starting of the phone, could the nice animated firefox be a bit bigger?
I like my firefox but I can't see him enough.
"Based on Mozilla Technology" is at a good size, but the animated firefox is way too small. If it could take all the screen, it woud be great! Don't you think?
Best regards dear mozilian,

Yes it works with MR. Read the main thread for more feedbacks.
Finally I'm using this Rom!
Basically it's cool but you know it has a long way to get much more stable & usable.
First of all I agree with that guy who suggested big Firefox animated on the boot screen.
Then I know this a new & fresh project but it needs more debugging.
For example at the first when I was trying to connect to ma WiFi after I touched the join button it takes more than 5mins to join ma network!
After that I downloaded some apps from store like Telegram, when I was trying to filled the blanks with ma phone number touchscreen didn't works & I already can't login with ma number cuz jumping from one blank to another blanks for registration has bug & I can't fill them!
In settings we've lots of problems,I can't manually change ma screen brightness from that swipe bar of it so I've to tick the auto brightness!
& also have a same problem in any swipe bars in menu like volume & alarms up & down when i touch them nothing changes!
Sometimes ma phone crash (stopped working) on menu & some apps like browser & I've to wait for response to continue ma job!
______________
There is more you know but I didn't remember all !
I really like this OS & in future hope so use this OS as ma major Rom on ma N5!
PLEASE WORK ON IT!!
and sorry fo ma bad English ?

Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

I've sent you a message however I don't think you'll manage without knowing chinese
The tool they use is to unlock the bootloader and it's a proprietary tool.

I'm sorry but I did not have time yesterday. I don't have access to a proper computer so I am using my raspberry pi to do all this. Since it does not have a photo editor I am working on a google slide document that will be accessible by link. I'll post it here as fast as I am done

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.
Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".
Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!
Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please

ROM'S - HERE and other Tools + rom's HERE
There is a whole Qiku N4 forum but it's in chinese .... didnt have time to bother with it,

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !
I am Chinese

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s
Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?
I see
