[A510][ROM][2012-10-01] Meldrak A510 Custom Light Stock ROM

A510 Custom Light Stock ROM Odexed
built on Acer_AV041_A510_1.099.00 and
NoThrills WorldWide optimized Stock ROM
I made this rom for my personal use but I want to share it with you
First of all, I'd like to thank you NoThrills for his roms and recovery
This rom is very close up to his, so take a look at main features on his topic
Here's what's changed:
rom is fully ODEXED (speed up boot and default applications)
default launcher replaced by HoloLauncherHD (JellyBean like launcher)
screen sensitivity bug "removed" (tablet will always start with sensitivity set to high)
olympic stuff removed (wallpaper removed and bootanimation set to iconia tab)
all Acer applications removed exept Ring, Print, DolbyMobile and DRMVideoPlayer
AmazonApps, FileManagerHD, FlashPlayer and TitaniumBackup added to flexrom
all apps up to date on 2012-10-02
Phone services removed to save more battery
original Acer kernel
Installation:
If you don't have it already, install the CWM-Based Recovery.
Download the ROM from this post and put the .ZIP file on your internal or external SD Card.
Start Recovery by powering down your device, holding the Volume down (**) button and turning it on again.
Make a Nandroid Backup. Select backup and restore and choose one of the backup options.
Select wipe data/factory reset. Select format /flexrom in mount menu.
Install this ROM by choosing install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from external sdcard.
Wait for the installation to finish and select reboot system now.

yes you can but NoThrills doesn't provide it as a flashable zip, you'll have to do it yourself
and you 'll lose the fix for screen bug sensitivity because it's include in my stock kernel

no because by default you'll have the same as the default launcher
you just have some jellybean option and other features, take a look here

yeah french dev here lol, but I'm more a modder than a dev
and it will be my first and last rom for A510 ... I'm selling it

not totally satisfied with touch screen, too hard to play emulators or games that need to press more than 4 fingers ....
in any case for the price it's a good product ... but I prefer using the Asus transformer. I'll send you more details in french by PM

I have the same..want to sell it too. It's not the product that I thought it would be. Maybe gonna buy the TF300 with keyboard. I hate the touch problems.

You may try to copy /data/data/com.acer.android.acerring/lib/* to /system/lib/* -this file may be not needed by older AcerRing version or it can be extracted during first boot (this is system app after all, "market apps" do this during installation only)

good idea I'll take a look tonight if I have time
also some feedbacks are welcome

No root in this rom?

Since this rom was built over NoThrills' I would assume (& expect) that it is pre-rooted.

yes you'll have all the same as NoThrills exept the list mentioned on first post

Hi,
what means "•Phone services removed to save more battery" ?
Is there really more battery (about 30min - 1h) or only 10min?

Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk are removed, it's about 20~60min in standby mode or 10min in use
it's also less memory used, a better stability I think
But without it you can't do a factory reset from setting menu (use recovery instead)
and I think it will block the OTA checking
but with a custom root rom you don't need this features

I had using ur rom for 1 day, everything good :good:
Thx so much for ur hardwork.
Thx for remove the useless phone feature in this rom.
Maybe u can try Go Laucher HD, all free n nice.

go launcher is good but not stable
I prefer hololauncher because very close to stock and fully optimized for ICS

I've just updated the post with a small update acer ring is now up to date and odexed in the rom
no needs to wipe if you have already previous version I think ...

So library was missing? Works from /system/lib or you had to add symlink/script to copy it?

[Q] Upgrading to JB

I want to upgrade to JB custom ROM on TF101. I have seen a quite few. But I want to know which one is the best. Also please let me know do we need to download all the apps after upgrading the ROM. Is there a way to keep the apps intact after upgrading or reinstalling by taking back up. Downloading again will take a lot of data and a lot of time. Please help.

You can back up your apps with titanium backup onto an SD card or other external storage, but you must wipe the tablet when upgrading to JB, I recommend team eos nightlies with KAT kernel, they work very nicely.
You can also get the apk files from /system/app I think or /data/app and reinstall after putting those back on the tablet after wiping.

Shall you please let me know what is the purpose of KAT kernel

I'm running Revolver 4.2.1. What are the advantages going to JB from ICS? I'm going on a long trip soon, so I'm mainly looking for stability, battery performance and keyboard/dock compatibility.
Also, I'm reading that we need to install TWRP to run JB ROMs? Or can I still use CWM?
Thanks in advance!

Lots of speed improvements over the stock kernel, fixes for different things like audio and gps
Grab the Kat-App too, that also boosts Audio and GPS

Yes move to TWRP as soon as possible or risk bricking your TF as many have done trying to flash new ROMs with CWM
If you install Goo Manager you can easily install TWRP from the top right settings menu "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
Highly recommend TeamEOS4 and KatKernel in terms of everything you are looking for for your trip
Advantages over ICS are performance and stability and a new UI (Which is swappable with the ICS tablet version from settings in TeamEOS)

OK. I looked at some tutorials to get a sense of TWRP and Goo Manager. I know you can view and download ROMs from GM. So after downloading the ROM, boot into TWRP to install it? How about flashing kernels and the Kat app you referred to? Is that downloaded and installed in the same procedure?

Yep exactly the same as a ROM, I do it this way
For a ROM
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and System
Install ROM
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
---
For a Kernel
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Install Kernel
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
---
For Gapps
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Install Gapps
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
----
Basically Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache between each flash and when your done, then reboot
For Kat App, its just an app, so wait until you're done with the above, boot into the ROM, get everything set up how you like it, then install the Kat App, its just an APK so you just use a file manager (ES File Explorer is my choice) and click it once to install it
Once in there, goto the Install section and install the GPS and Audio etc, the rest is pretty self explanatory, sections for Audio etc
EDIT - You don't have to use Goo Manager to download the ROMs or others either, sometimes its faster to use the PC and copy them over to the TF then reboot to recovery to flash them, you can use internal or external sdcards in TWRP, I have the links in my sig

EOS 4
I'll second the Team EOS 4 Recommendation

+1 for EOS4

[Q] #urgent# /system restore error in cwm

hello developers, m quite new to android rom testing. my a110 had stock ICS v2 installed. i have few roms tested before. I always make cwm recovery backup before trying new rom. but yesterday i tried JMP 12.25 JB rom for some time and wanted to revert back to stock ics afterwards. for that i tried to restore the backup i created but the process stops at "/system" after restoring few files in that saying /system restore error. while i can restore /data, /cache /boot from advanced recovery options. the phone booted after other than /system restored in ICS but cannot say its fully functional. how to check its all working correctly. /system holds which files and procedure to correct the issue. this happened first time with a JB testing.

anyboy plz reply

anybody plz reply

do wipe before restore,
wipe cache,
advanced_ wipe dalvink cache.
mount & storage, format system.
if this not solve your problem I can't suggest anything.
+ don't tey every rom this may cause serious issues, so take one rom and use it for few months atleast.
Sent from my Micromax A110 (Canvas 2) using xda premium

You can stable at any rom and customize it as per your requirements for best performances.
I would like to suggest stock rom v2 for that because it is best for development and customization.

Pre rooted.

Use custom KK recovery from here.
I prefer [CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch 6.57.9 - cwm 6.0.5.1.
(Internal sd-card refereed as sdcard00, external as sdcard01)
Download rom zip file.
Put into sd card.

BACKUP CURRENT ROM
Wipe for flash of new rom.
Or wipe data/system/delvic cache/cache.
Select Install From SD (Internal or External)

Xolo Stock Update
Hello Avi Sir,
I'm using xolo's stock update from the site....... yes it gives error.
Could you share some light on the moving back to stock update from Xolo's final update?
Though, the custom roms by yourself are way ahead of the stock ones, but out of curiosity how to revert back if required?

Dear Avi,
I have installated this ROM yesterday night. Rom is very smooth, Viper is the main advantage in this. WIFI, 3G everything working fine. Only issue I found that corporate email client is missing and managed with 3rd party app. Got error with Google Play Music which I removed as I don't use it.. Other than that every thing is fine .. thanks for this ROM

i'm on this rom now. i'd like to stay on it - after i get some important issues resolved.
backups using the script does not work. as you'll see, i've tried 7 storage options.
copying to usb otg using the included root explorer and es file explorer does not work.
edit: since you've been successful in deodexing stock kk rom, can you release a S005 version without any tweaks at all?
no pre-root/busybox/init.d/build.prop tweaks etc. this is so everything works as in a newly bought phone. thanks.

@m0han sir,
Sir As i already gave u the results here when i used ur script in this rom.
The error u getting its cause of root permissions only.
the file system is read only so this app doesn't have root permission to write.
Please check root permissions using any root checker app.
I will try to make that stock untouched version - it will take 5 mins to make but much time to upload.
we can use this stock kk as base and delete some files and u can get that version.

Thank you sir for testing this script.
@m0han It clearly shows that this script is someway dependent on CWM based recovery as it worked on philz and CTR3.0.
