Acer A500 personal device repo:

Personal changes include:

=======================================================================================================================
A) Using flexrom
=======================================================================================================================
In order not to use flexrom, edit fstab.picasso, and delete line:

"/dev/block/mmcblk0p6  /system/vendor   ext4     ro                      wait"

setup-makefiles.sh is modified to generate the makefiles based on vendor/acer/a500/proprietary directory contents.
I myself have Acer widgets in flexrom (the big clock), you can also apply this patch to vendor/cm repo for flexrom support

=======================================================================================================================
B) Odex files generation
=======================================================================================================================

If you do not wish to generate odexed build (for size etc.) remove the "WITH_DEXPREOPT := true" from BoardConfig.mk

=======================================================================================================================
C) Modified init script (includes more proprietary things)
=======================================================================================================================

The ending part of init.picasso.rc requires additional proprietary files from Acer ICS build, you don't need these however.
If you do not wish to use tf_daemon / nvcpud, remove this from the script (at the very bottom)

===
#Prepare TF service
service tf_daemon /system/bin/tf_daemon -storageDir /data/tf -d
    disabled
    class main
    user root
    group shell
    oneshot

#Create data directory and start service
on property:tf.enable=y
    mkdir /data/tf
    start tf_daemon

# Enable NvCpuD, and set it to never poll config again
on boot
    setprop nvcpud.enabled true
    setprop nvcpud.refresh_ms -1

service nvcpud /system/bin/nvcpud
    class main
    user root
    group root

=======================================================================================================================
D) Changes to kernel
=======================================================================================================================

To build kernel, you'll need a patch like this:

(the patch is a hack). In BoardConfig.mk you may want to edit TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG to
update defconfig of the kernel (I use ezterry's).

=======================================================================================================================
E) Build system
=======================================================================================================================

You will need to toggle TARGET_NO_RECOVERY to false, unless you wish to patch fstab generation.
