What sort of ROM would people like to see for the A100?!? Any particular wishes?
Personally I'd like to see a ROM that gives you slightly better battery life and the ability to under and overclock. (Tegra2 is pretty good for overclocking, no?)
That way you could set it for 1200mhz or higher for when you really need some speed, and underclock it to 600 or 800 mhz for a nice long plane trip. You should still be able to watch a couple of movies, but you'll get two hours more batterylife or thereabouts.
What I'd REALLY REALLY like to see in a future ROM, is a port of either HTCs tablet ROM or the Touchwiz ROM from the Galaxy 10.1.
Nothing beats Samsungs Touchwiz for smoothness from what I've seen, and since they use the same Tegra SoC it shouldn't be too hard to port, eh?
The HTC ROM would be pretty cool to have as an option, especially if it would be able to use the HTC Watch app.
What do you guys hope for?
First A500 ROM (Taboonay, Villain...) should be port to A100 easily ! (I hope !)
Then I'm not waiting at all for touchwiz or sense ROM cause Honeycomb is already nice...
The biggest thing on my wish list is native bluetooth PAN like the Xoom has. And tun.ko built into the kernel.
As for what ROM With ICS so close is it worth the effort to build a 3.2 ROM other then to get working drivers?
First we need a recovery. I have tried the A500 CWM with no luck. I have also contacted Koush via his blog http://www.koushikdutta.com/ requesting help with porting CWM to the A100 with no response. Anyone know how to get the ball rolling for a recovery?

Porting CWM is not the problem. In fact, the A500 CWM may work, if you can get it booted. The problem is, when you flash the recovery partition with CWM, you can no longer boot into recovery due to a checksum mismatch that the bootloader performs. The bootloader is encrypted, so can't modify it.
<Sepculation>
I am wondering though.. I believe the A100 and A500 are very similary in hardware (except the screen size). I wonder if it's possible to flash the bootloader from A500 to the A100. Kind of like downgrading the A500 from the new 3.2 back to 3.01. hmm.... i may have to visit best buy.
</speculation>

More USB goodies, and make it run games/apps as well as well as the A500. I want my Stupid Zombies and Dolphin for Pad back. Better battery life would be swell too.

So my acer a100 is rooted (since day one), I'm guessing there is no need to do a NAND unlock on these?
Also, what are the honeycomb roms (is there any?)
When i had my DINC i liked CM7 but i really dont want android < 3.2 on my tab (seems like a step backwards).

You have a great point here. With ICS just around the corner for this device (January IIRC) any Devs would be probably rather wait to put their effort in once that arrives.
I think it will take many polite requests for someone (Developer) to grab hold of this one. Or one of them to buy one and want to hack the heck out if it for themselves as well as us. I'm an avid hacker/tester but not a developer sadly. I wish I had more time to learn code and to develop. However, 60 hours a week (6 days) of work with a wife and 3 kids limits my free considerably.
Devs will defenetly wait for the ics to be release
Until ICS arrives I am happy with being able to root the device without unlocking the boot loader. But having a custom recovery like CWM would be great, let's wait and see what the Devs do after ICS arrives.
A solid AOSP ICS and ICS MIUI with CWM just to back up would be AMAZING...

Dude, hear hear. Once I have CWM on my tablet, I'm gonna be such a happy customer. Especially if some dev wants to port 4.0-based MIUI to it...that would be phenomenal.

i like your pic...ironwars??? (Great game)
Clockwork would be great so we can have the confidence to mess up our machines
The encrypted locked bootloader hinders devs from doing dev work on it. With amazing hardware, I'm hoping the devs will work this after Acer rolls out ICS next month, hopefully. I really like to have a custom recovery so I can at least do a nandroid backup in case I eff'd up even the stock ROM.
For ROMs I like, definitely CM or MIUI.

I found this ROM:
http://www.gearengine.it/?page_id=2
...and would LOVE to run it on my AT&T GSIII but it says they're running it on the international version. I was planning on giving it a shot anyway but, while I'm working on rooting, I'd ask a few questions.
Think it'd work on the AT&T version?
If not, is there an equivalent ROM that will?
I want to keep ALL the stock functionality...camera wise, hardware wise (NFC, Bluetooth, etc) yet still getting the customization that that ROM afforded (I loved the Aroma installer, the inverted apps, etc) while running an overclock/undervolt kernel so I can juice this thing!
What are you guys running?!
One word of advice would be not to flash an international ROM on your AT&T device. I think that would lead to a brick.
Do some reading in the development sections to familiarize yourself with the basics.

I have to agree. I actually just commented in a thread before coming across this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056655
Foxhound was flashed to their device, and their device was hard bricked. Please do not flash i9300 ROMs to US device variants.
I am currently running cm10.0.0 stable. It runs like a dream, not one issue with it so far. I would not recommend the new cm10.1 nightly builds until the data problem is fixed however.
LOL!!!
Well...this website was down for a few and I though ah hell, why not.
smh
Never actually heard of anyone hard bricking a phone. Awesome. This rounds out my Android experience nicely. Just as dude says, it doesn't do a damn thing. No power, not light, no vibration, nothing.
I can't believe there's no way to fix something like this. I'm all around amazed...I must say.
But yea...so...AT&T I go in the morning to test my acting skills I guess. *shrug*
And the Aroma installer was SO COOL!!!! What a shame...
Had I known the consequences could be so dire...

Very sorry to hear your luck =( Good luck at AT&T... Don't let this deter you from future ROM flashes, just make sure you are flashing the correct GS3 variant. If you are on AT&T your device is model# i747 and the codename is d2att when flashing ROMs.
I didn't need too many acting skills, I just told them I woke up in the morning and my phone would no longer turn on. They swapped it out pretty quickly =) My hard brick came from a CWM flash when I was inexperienced at flashing. (I came from an iPhone... bleh). I had used a terminal emulator and used some commands to install CWM. Big mistake. I then followed Cyanogenmod's WIKI on installing CWM and it worked like a charm. =)
Of course, in my opinion, nothing beats TWRP recovery installation... Step 1: Download Goo Manager from the PlayStore. Step 2: Click menu and "Install OpenRecovery Script" Step 3: Wait for your phone to reboot into recovery =)
Well now that I'm done with my tangent, I think I'm heading to bed for the night lol. Good luck at the AT&T store tomorrow! ...and have a Happy Holiday! =)

Hey...it's all good man. I've been in the Android game since the G1 and STILL I'm getting firsts. LOL!!! I will ALWAYS hack, tinker and tweak. That's the fun of it...this included.
I KNEW it was the wrong version. However...what I DIDN'T know was the likely outcome! Had no idea. Only ever heard of hard bricks as a mythical monster-like sorta thing. Through my G1 days, GS days, HTC Doubleshot, HTC One S and AAAAAAAAAAALL the devices I've rooted and ROM'd in between (my tablets and who knows how many friend's devices), I've never seen or had a true hard brick happen. Had a close call sorta with the ex-wife's GS, but I fixed it.
Honestly didn't think this was something that could ACTUALLY happen!!!
We'll see what happens.
Thanks everyone!!

I have been with Android through the GS1, GS2, and now GS3. I totally agree with you. I have done some really stupid stuff, but have always been able to fix the problem, mostly from help from this forum.
It may be just me, but it seems that it is a lot easier to brick the GS3 than its predecessors. Not from personal experience (knock on wood), but from reading through these forums.
Let us know what happens at the AT&T store. As an aside, does anyone ever know what happens in the long run when you turn in a hard brick to AT&T and get it replaced? I would imagine that once they JTAG it they would see that it was flashed. Could they charge you for the device?

That is a fantastic question. I was concerned about that myself the first time it happened. From my experience I was never charged when I went into the store to do the exchange. No bills came later in regards to it either. I think its pretty safe, but I wouldn't make any guarantees.
I also agree with you in that the GS3 seems a lot easier to brick than other phones I've dealt with.

Well...they gave me another one. Couldn't get another red one like I wanted since they didn't have any in stock which kinda sucks so I got the blurple one. Looks cool.
Obviously, I can't agree with the comments on the GSIII's resistance to bricking since I had something happen with this device that I've never seen or even HEARD of anyone doing. lol But it's all good. Time to start tinkering again.
Think I'm going to go the CM10 route since that is apparently a good ROM. However...does everything work with it? NFC and all? And...is there an OC/UV kernel that is compatible with that ROM?
As far as what they do with it after, I don't really know. I had to take it back to Best Buy since that's where I got it and it was so soon after getting it. I only had the thing...for...like...4 hrs when it got killed. lol I would imagine that they have the resources to easily fix a device that has had this happen. If they didn't replace it, I was just going to make a JIG for it (http://www.androidnova.org/unbrick-your-hard-bricked-smartphone/).
Thanks for all the help, guys!!!
Well...I didn't kill it. lol
So...first setup I tried:
ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684
Kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756776
My ratings, out of 10?
Look and feel: 7...I only give it so low since it's EXACTLY the same as the HTC One S ROM I was running. This is usually a good thing but I was wanting something different.
Functionality: 4...every time I send a text, the damn thing says it didn't send! But it does! Very strange, very annoying, very unusable.
Customizability: 12...it's an AOKP ROM...with the Nova launcher...there are a mind bending number of options. I love it!
Quadrant score: 3...What the hell is an overclocked, current gen phone juiced to over 2.1GHZ doing getting ~3600 pts in quadrant? EXTREMELY disappointing.
Final words: Running Android 4.2...awesome. I love being cutting edge, but there isn't anything really awe-inspiring about it aside from the Jelly Bean 4.2 but the text messaging problem is just insurmountable.
Next is going to be this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949025
Going to keep the kernel and we'll see what happens! I'll let you know!
Glad it worked out. =) Just a heads up 4.2 has a lot of common bugs with it being so new. That texting problem is among many. Bluetooth issues, USB MTP issues, internal/external storage swapped, mobile data and WiFi issues to name a few.. I'd recommend sticking to 4.1 unless you don't mind the above annoyances. =p They will get ironed out soon enough I'm sure. =)

That ROM flat out didn't work...it booted and everything but the keyboard kept giving me an FC. No bueno.
Back to the other I go!
Can anyone recommend a ROM that is as customizable as the AWESOME AOKP ROMs but still retain a bit of the Samsung-ness? Like...I like having the burst shot in the camera, the cool gesture and motion stuff they have, etc. Is there a middle ground?

Checkout NexusMOD in the development forum. Its a touchwiz ROM with AOSP messaging and email. You can still run Nova Launcher if you want, and holo locker if you don't want the TW lock screen.
I'm still tinkering and trying different ROMs. Downloading LiquidSmooth right now, can't find the NexusMOD one mentioned and I just tryed to flash an AOKP ROM and it wouldn't flash.
I SO BADLY want the 4.2 to work. I LOVE it!!! The Camera (wish it had HDR and multi shot modes, though), the stock messenger, LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS...it's just awesome.
I'm with you all the way rmp5s(except the bricking part), I want this ROM sooo bad. It's stockish which I like, yet has a lot of mods, any word yet on it coming to I747?
I've loved this phone since I got it, and was terribly excited when it was successfully rooted. Many roms sprung up by a few devs, such as dman, and thegreatergood. But now, dman is prioritizing his daily driver, which is fine. Thegreatergood has disappeared due to personal reasons, which is also fine. I don't demand updates or anything, however it seems all the other smaller devs abandoned the device. Thegreatergood has 5 jellybean roms in the dev forum, and sadly none of them have been touched by anyone in almost a month. I'm starting to see issues with every 4.2.2 rom spontaneously fast booting, and there is no mention of any updates on Jelly Bean.
Basically, what I'm trying to ask is, is anyone out there working on something? I know asking for ETA's is a no-no, but I'm just asking if anyone has adopted development for this device? I use this phone for everything, and I'm not able to change to some of the more "preferred" devices such as the Nexus series. Is there anyone who knows of anything coming soon?
Sorry for the little wall of text, I'm just kinda sad that the glide seems to be dying off.
Worried about this too, the DEV section of forum seems to be totally dead.
AT&T seems to abandon this device too, since hasnt release a proper ICS ROM (It was like "Oh, ICS didnt work, lets leave it on GB").
Have to stay at GB because of that
dman with do what he can, I am sure. Other than that, I think development is dead.

Are there any decent QWERTY phones out there or any coming up this year?
I love this phone and it seems like there is no suitable replacement out there.
i would have to say that development isnt exactly dead... but its dying quickly... this phone isnt the main focus of the devs that hash out roms and tweaks for it anymore (for some not sure it ever was)... its an older phone now, there are bigger better phones out there (have been for a while). granted this is probably still the best qwerty phone, the interest to develop full time for it isnt.
i am sure here soon dman will put out whatever he is working on.... eventually...
in my opinion dont expect a 100% fully functional custom rom that isnt based on the stock ics... the only one i could say that is there is literom... all others out there arent even close.... we wont ever see 100% working JB...
Yeah, for a while I was checking in daily and flashing some patch, mod or rom like once a week! I am still happier on CM 10.1 than I was on GB or even the very nice ICS literom, but it would be great to see the list of fixes get worked on like they were.
I guess we are being put out to pasture, but I sure appreciate all the Devs did to help keep this phone feel great as long as it did!

I'm part of the Covenant Team as well as a co-dev for the IcePop rom. All I can say. Is that I know most of the other devs are either spending more time with their families with the near stable roms having been released, and maybe a few are back in school for the spring semester. I personally looked into the graphical and appearance of the roms, not as much of the coding due to computer technical issues and spacial issues with my hard drive. But don't give up hope just yet! Our glide may have a comeback soon. who knows. There are still a ton of we glide users in this community that are working behind the scenes to push out either patches or completely new roms.
Nevermind.
You are kidding right? The dev forum is full of different roms for all tastes, ICS, JB, the like. As far as I am aware, nobody got a "free phone" as you say. People just donated to dman (who paid for his Cappy out of his own pocket), and rightfully so because he and thegreatergood put our phone on the map again with great ROMs and updates.
Vanilla Rootbox has been my DD for a while now. The 4.2.2 roms have very few issues and none of those affect me fortunately.

Hmm, I don't think this is true. I got the busted ICS update for these devices when it was out before it was pulled. It was then posted a few weeks later again with the proper fix. You have to go through Kies, but you should have an ICS update for your device, at least to 4.0.4..
Really hope it hasn't died but at this point I am considering moving back to ICS just so my sound works properly. Sucks. If my VOIP calling worked correctly, CM10 is exactly what I want. Its so smooth and less bloated than the official ICS ROMs. I wouldn't even be considering a new device this year if we could get the sound issues fixed. But its gone on so long now that I would just like a straight answer from the few devs we have - is this issue ever going to be addressed?
I'm as happy as anyone to have any sort of development for the Glide and none of the developers owe us a thing. But this has been an issue for so long now, I wish we could just get a straight answer. Working on it, can't be fixed or they just don't care. Any answer is better than nothing at this point.
I really like the glide, because a like the tegra graphics for games, but, i like switch roms too. I hope that someone come to help us. Maybe we must wait a little more
Hi to all. I've tryed different roms till now. Im a noob still regarding android development, but i'm trying to learn a bit. I would definately love to have the VOIP calling enabled, photosphere less lag at wakeup for 4.2.2 and no lag for voice calls. Regarding photosphere, i've tryed it with every rom available i set permissions and everything. As far as what i observed is on 4.2.2 I can get 1 photo and then the app simply close. On ICS i can take up to 7 - 8 pics and after that the app close.

I would be happy to be wrong, but as far as I know ATT has released ICS with much errors, after that released the GB again to roll everyone back.
Also, all the versions of ICS have the deep sleep issue, so they are totally unusable as a phone itself.
People that asked ATT support for a solution had unacceptable answer like "Reboot your phone once a day".
As for Kies, my phone is not recognized with any rom to update so I do everything manually.

UCLJ3 rooted (ICS -the fixed one-)
you guys complaining about ICS need to read up through the development forum before coming here to complain...
as for JB users (including myself)

Lol, and what?
I've mainly been reading the dev section for all the time, and tried most of the roms availible there.
Stock and modified 4.0.4 has problems with the GSM deep sleep issue, so do all the roms above 4.0.4 (4.1 and 4.2). All this makes a good toy out of the phone, but looses the main purpose - recieve calls and sms on time.
And yes, I've already tested the 4.2.2 version of liquid smooth, but skype and bluetooth are not working, as stated in OP.

Just registered to post this. I'm a long time lurker on the site starting back with my desire hd. I have flashed a lot of different roms and its been great. Until now. I have most recently had an HTC One X and today got the HTC ONE. I now want to sell/trade in my One X but i face this predicament: I have been using the Official CM10.1 RC on my one X until now and I have on it RC5. Recently my usb port seems to have packed in and will no longer transfer data or be recognised at all by my PC or any other computer. I want to return to stock - or at least stock based rom but I now can't go back and flash the appropriate Boot image. SO my question is: are there any sense/stock based roms that will work with the CM10.1 kernel? If anyone knows or can help that would be great.
Thanks
No, sir. It's not possible to return to stock with a busted USB connector. (Without s-off) Also there's no stock based sense ROM than would work with cm10.1 kernel.
Sorry but you gotta leave the ROM how it is.
Have you tried another cable? How about cleaning the port with compressed air?

I guess the £160 i would get has now shrunk to £60 (recycle value). Do you think i'd be better selling on ebay than recycling?
I think you should try to sell it first. (Make it clear that the device is broken)
If nobody wants to buy, recycle it.

Hmm just had a quick look on ebay there. Looks as though faulty devices aren't going for much any more than the £60 i've been offered - so I think i'll just recycle! Thanks for your help by the way :good:
I've read a lot about SDS and there seems to be no general consensus on the symptoms of it. Some people say they can enter recovery/dl/etc but the phone crashes all the time. Others say that their phone doesn't turn on at all and won't charge.
Here is my issue with my S3.
I just recently installed 4.3 pacman rom. I got everything set up and everything was going great. I tried to flash ACID MOD 7.0/DevilKernel, and they both failed, so I rebooted back into the system and the phone just shut off.
If I take the battery out and hook it up to a charger, the LED will light up. However, if I plug it in with the battery already inside of it, the LED does not turn on. Also, if I hook up the phone to my computer, it'll make a sound like it is trying to mount the device, but it'll make a stutter sound like it failed. It doesn't do this automatically, it only does it if I try to enter recovery/download mode/or turn the phone on.
I'm not sure if the phone is completely dead, or bricked, or what is going on? Or if anyone has any other suggestions - other than changing the battery, which I did do, lol.
Sounds bricked. What model is you s3 btw? And can you post links to everything you've flashed?
SDS doesn't affect our S3's, it was only the international model that had this issue, and I believe it was only on the original firmware.

devil kernel
prior to flashing pac i installed 2.6.3 twrp because the 2.5.x i was on did not work. i booted in, flashed pac, got everything set up. after restoring the apps and whatnot, i went back to twrp to install acid + devil kernel. they both failed, so i just rebooted from there and it never turned back on. i just assumed the battery was dead, charged my bat in my external charger, and yeah, never turned on since then.
any way to do this without jtag? i'm not at home right now to do something like that and am out of the country, so im a bit unsure how hard it'd be to get those supplies.
i was able to go to a samsung a/s place, but they would only send back to america. i don't think it is worth paying 200+ when this phone is probably only worth 400 or so out of the box, brand new, maybe even less.
i just assumed it was SDS because the symptoms seemed spot on, but it was really weird. i've never had any issues like this flashing roms and it wont' even go to the boot logo. if i plug it in, it makes it seem like it is trying to mount, but there are no vibrations or anything like that on the phone.
thanks for all the help doc, like always.
Thanks for providing the links! Makes it so much easier to help when we don't have to search for everything!
I'm afraid you have bricked your device. I don't know about the Acid mods compatibility with our device, so it may be part of the problem, but that kernel is for the international S3 (I9300/9305). (I'm assuming you have the T999 btw). Never flash anything for the international models, you're nearly guaranteed to brick the phone!
But there's hope! Verify your model number by looking under the battery. Then check out KAsp3rd's unbrick thread in the development section. It should be towards the top.
Give that a shot and say a prayer! It won't fix all bricks, it depends on what was overwritten, but there's a good chance it'll fix yours!
In the future, it's best to stay out of the international models forum altogether! The devices are very different and you take a huge risk when using anything you find there!
Good luck!

Thanks Doc. I don't think it'll be fixed unless someone in that thread wants to try to flash that devil kernel and see if they can unbrick it w/o jtag. I followed those instructions to a T, and no dice. Although, I can't really tell if my battery is charged right now. I don't have my external charger on me. I will try again tomorrow, but I really doubt it at this point.
Really? Maybe give it another try with a different SD if possible. I saw the posts there and there's no reason I can see that it wouldn't fix when aboot got overwritten.

Yeah, it is really weird.
After some toying with it I figured out that it only tries to mount the device when connected to the computer IF and only IF my phone is connected to the computer with no battery. It didn't do this before, which is odd. Even if I take out the SD card it still does this now. Before it would fail to make any sound, and now it tries to install the driver. But then it says it fails to install the driver for it, which is the bricked one, the SUBS DWLND or whatever.
I tried following Kasp3rd's advice to hold the button down longer, and I held it down for a whole five minutes with no luck.
I will try another SD when I get the chance, right now I only have a 64gb with no avail to back it up. The SD card is super old though, you are right Doc. It is from my OG droid, but really I haven't had a need for SD cards since I was on an iPhone after my droid and since the S3 is mine, but i'm not using it, I never really bought a nice SD card for it.
I'm going to run to the store in a bit to get one though and hopefully that will make a difference?
May have missed the part about it being 64GB before. Could be the age, but also those 64's have given lots of folks some problems in the past. Seems the S3 can be a bit finicky with those.
