I have a501. After installing this rom will I have the ability to have 3g? The first post is not really clear about this...
[Acer Iconia A500] swes013:
Need help please. I'm not a newbie!! Running Honey Villain 1.2 all apps and widgets working correctly. The ROM simply amazing! I cant get my logmein ignition pro app to work. It will install and do a first time run until it hits and hangs up as I try to log in remotely to my home server from my Acer iconia. Weird then it force closes with a sentence. It did work well with my original nandroid backup, however I want it to work with this ROM. Also I am no expert or dev by any means. Could this possibly be a kernel issue?? Thanks in advance for any help or feedback.

[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Some test kernels for VillainROM, they are actually based on 3.4 (Based on his changelog up there, it's 3.4.5 ;) ), the numbers are just chronological, have nothing to do with clock speeds or anything else.

I plan on getting Richard to merge all changes.

Aside from performance tweaks, there are my usual VM tweaks, io scheduler tweaks, PM tweaks.

I would appreciate you trying them, letting me know if you notice differences between the two builds and if you do, which one you favor.

Enjoy and thanks in advance for the feedback.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Already contacted you (twitter) but got no response..... Just push to your github and i'll cherry-pick.
[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Where is the 3.6 kernel. I only see the 3.5 on the previous page.

All the best,

NSCXP2005
[Acer Iconia A500] evangineer:
There's a separate kernel thread on this forum, it has the 3.6 kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Thank you for your quick response.

[Acer Iconia A500] verdigny:
Thanks for this ROM (It's my first install) No problem to install and use it. :)

How to enable it?

I use File Manger HD and have 2 items:

usb_storage

usbdrive

FAT 32 keys appear in "usb_storage" but not NTFS HD or USB key.

Thanks

What is the difference between "usb_storage" and "usbdrive"?
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
after applying this patch i just cant connect to any wifi ....

please fix :)

update 1 : even i lost my root access after installing the patch
[Acer Iconia A500] jakubklos:
How about SIP support?

Could you please add SIP support? I thought it was included but realized it was not.

Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Please flash previous version. must be something wrong with the update :-(

Can you try the new one? :http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/HoneyVillain_Patch_1.00_1.01.zip

[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
you can enable the ntfs module with an insmod /system/lib/modules/ntfs.ko

Should automate that in the next version :-)

I have the wifi issue too, its what's talked about in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138905

I just manually set mine for the time being

[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
There's no error so the module loaded fine. Tested ntfs and working fine here using Usb Mass Storage Watcher.
[Acer Iconia A500] shingers5:
Used this rom for a while and had no major issues. Maybe that's why its quiet in here as less bugs however Asus has blown the ass from Acer in multimedia dept IMO. Xoom plays 1080p with slight hiccups but Acer is restricted to 720p sadly. Acer say update in June to fix this lol. Might go buy a xoom lol
[Acer Iconia A500] verdigny:
I don't understand why it doesn't work for me. I'll wait for the next version and re-install.

Thanks to grant me some time.

Edit: It works with "Usb Mass Storage Watcher" but not very "user friendly" ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
hi... my request, please include ps3 controller compatibility in next release :D

your rom i believe is the best, no bugs at all except for the acer bugs....
[Acer Iconia A500] str0nz0:
Hi!

Thanks for this ROM,its running very stable and smooth. I cant get cifs support running, you say the modules are loaded on boot, or do i have to load it myself? Cifs-manager is not working at the moment for me, i think modules are not loaded? Thanks for reply!
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Until the module is loaded automatically, just configure CifsManager to load it for you in the app's settings (check both Load cifs module and Load via insmod). Works perfectly.
[Acer Iconia A500] str0nz0:
Thanks, got it working now. Maybe a nice addon for the next version to load modules automatically on boot?

No more video AVI nor XVID with vilain 1.01

Hi you all,

I apologize for my english ...

I'm pleased to work with vilain rom on my new iconia as i use to work with vilain rom on my desire since a long time.

The rom works great for me in 1.0 version but today as i install the next upgrade (1.01 version) i'm not more able to play avi or xvid either with moboplayer ou nemoplayer or clear.fi

always the same error "file format unknow". I'm very surprized because all was working very well under 1.0 version.

After wipe and factory reset i tray once again with 1.01 but same punishment ;-)

so i sadly downgrade to 1.0 and wait ....

anybody had encounter same issues ?

Thanx in advance for your help

herveo - Reunion Island
[Acer Iconia A500] str0nz0:
I installed newest version 1.01 directly from zip and not as patch of 1.0. Media playback has no problems, avi etc. No problems
[Acer Iconia A500] RagePX:
Would someone be so kind to upload this rom to any faster server? (Multiupload or something?)

The download link in first post is very slow sadly (<100kb/s on a fibre 100Mbit connection) :(
[Acer Iconia A500] DeKoster:
Is it safe to run the update patch?

Hi Richard,

I'm verry happy white HoneyVillain 1.0 is it safe to use the update patch to update to 1.01?

THNX!
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
What's the best rom to use if I want to go as close to stock Acer 3.2? Sick of my tablet being dead every time i go to use it due to screen coming on and staying on while asleep. It's not the kernel because I tried Thor's and the same thing happens.
[Acer Iconia A500] alvarodv:
Hi,

I´m not sure that here is the correct place to put my question but I´ll try after research a lot of other threads.

I bought a Acer Iconia A501 from Amazon and there was no mention that it should come locked to AT&T even if it was a "no contract" phone.

I live in Brazil where we don´t have AT&T carrier and noe I´m with a tablet with $g where I cannot use the 3G sim card cause it asks me to enter a 16 digit code to unlock the device.

My question is, is there a way to unlock it using a no stock rom. If I flash it with a rom like HoneyVillain ROM my device will be unlocked to use with other networks than AT&T or I just spent the money to buy a 3G tablet there will never be a real 3G in my case ?

If I cannot unlock it using any software and/rom, is it possible to use that SIM Unlock devices to unlock it ?

Sorry but I´m totally newbie and bad english user.

Thanks a lot,

Alvaro
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Try my test kernel builds linked a few posts up, i don't have screen come on at all.

market issue

Aloha

Did a brief search. Didn't see this fix.

Market has an error while processing request,

Help please. Using hv with ker. 3.7. No other tweaks.
[Acer Iconia A500] onyxogen:
Tried it with stock Rom + root. Same problem with the vanilla one. Screen wakes for hours. I'm going back to HC 1.1
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
http://morfic.euroskank.com/iconia/T19.zip

If you have a nandroid of 3.2, try this kernel, no screen wakeups. No a2dp issues with screen off either.
[Acer Iconia A500] cloud79:
The scrolling in the youtube app(among others) is laggy. It was way better in 3.1. Anyone else have this problem? HV 1.2, kernel 3.7

(no problem with launcher, that one is butter)
[Acer Iconia A500] buffaloquinn:
Two issues.

1) When I first boot I'm getting a request to "Please insert sim card". Doesn't seem to cause any problems but kind of annoying.

(Edit: Fixed this one by editing the line Richard mentions at beginning of this thread)

2) Every time I boot up I get an FC for systemupdater. Also doesn't seem to interfere with anything, just annoying.

Otherwise very happy with the ROM. I was running Taboonay 2.2 but after I had a lock up on a boot animation I re-installed and found I had lost root and could not get it back no matter how many times I cleared and re-installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
That's a problem with Taboonay. If you re-flash your recovery image, everything is back, except root.

Discovered this with version 2.0. Only thing you can do, is flash the original 2.0 Rom after all wipes, then install all your apps again.
[Acer Iconia A500] mahalocat:
I'm still having this issue Please help!!:confused::confused::confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] mahalocat:
Solved. Had to remove market via TB. Then rename the vending apk (.pak) reboot. Install a fresh market. Reboot.

Fixed.
[Acer Iconia A500] egandt:
Lost root access how to regain it?

I had this ROM installed all was fine and the system worked, and was rooted, I booted in CWM recovery and backed everything and rebooted. Now I have no root access ever program that needs it says something like "Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges...." or "X has been denied super user permissions". In my case I did not reinstall the ROM or anything, I simple went to to the CWM recovery and backed up the ROM, maybe its the same?

I also rebooted and cleared all the caches, again without any success, in regaining root access, if I need to I'll reinstall. As all I did was install apps anyways, and I have a tibackup I made to restore them, quickly. However is there another way?

Thanks,

ERIC
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If you're running SetCpu, try uninstalling it, reboot, and check for root access.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
If you were using the cwm that comes with the acer recovery and do a full restore of your backup, it don't work and that is the problem you get is no root. I have not tried the latest cwm but if you reflash your rom it will work again untill you restore your backup.
[Acer Iconia A500] gibou13:
Hi

Will you plan to make any update for this rom.

Application menu seems to be laggy. Any way to run it smoother?

Very go rom. Juste need to delete acer update process that cause a FC and an issue with new market solved by deleting all vendor part and install it another time.
[Acer Iconia A500] digetx:
For application menu try nexus revamped live wallpaper. I have no lag with it. Seems it's video driver or opengl lib bug.
[Acer Iconia A500] gibou13:
Sorry but I don't understand report between live wallpaper from nexus and application menu?
[Acer Iconia A500] digetx:
Install nexus revamped live wallpaper app from market. Set it in launcher. See if lag has gone.
[Acer Iconia A500] marc.knuckle:
hey guys, this was the first custom ROM I had the guts to try and it seems really fast and I get really good battery life.

I cannot get the GPS to work AT ALL. it doesn't find any satellites at all never mind fix to them.

I tried the method I found somewhere about a zip file to install in recovery that adds something like a custom time but it errored a couple of times. I then read that fasterfix does the same and ran that apparently successfully but no better.

any recommendations guys?
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
Have you tried the first sticky thread on this sub-forum? It worked great for me. I used method 2 for install.
[Acer Iconia A500] gingergool:
I'm going to ask a really stupid question so please don't laugh.

I have searched high and low but I cant find a definitive answer.

Say I have my device rooted, CWM installed and backed up etc...

To run this ROM do I update the Kernel First. (3.4 OC-UV kernel)

Then flash the HoneyVillain 1.2 Rom?

I'm just a little confused that on the first post it says the Kernel is integrated.
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
No worries. Being integrated means it's part of the ROM flash and you'll flash them together from the same file - you don't need to flash the kernal separately.
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
any chance of an update for this ROM based off the most recent OTA?
[Acer Iconia A500] RagePX:
Oh my I was too fast, you edited your post already :-D hehe
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
r u sure?

even i cant play any video using 1.01

but soft decoding in moboplaye can play ..
[Acer Iconia A500] Qskillzwfu25:
camera issue

Recording with front facing camera works fine but when trying to record from the back camera the record button does nothing.....no response at all. Anyone else have this issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] str0nz0:
Like i said, no problems watching avis with moboplayer and its codecpack. Using fullversion 1.01 of the rom
[Acer Iconia A500] str0nz0:
Confirmed, taking photos works, video is not working with backcamera, frontcamera has no problems
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Fixed in next version
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Please try 1.02 (removed some video libs that slipped into 1.01 accidently).
[Acer Iconia A500] str0nz0:
Hmm, random wakeups from standby are still there in this rom (1.01). Thought it was fixed already with 3.0.1?! Can someone confirm?
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Could you please list the libs so that we can just remove them without reinstalling the rom (or in my case comparing the two rom versions :) )?

EDIT: Never mind I found them. But video recording doesn't work.

Edit2: Missed one file. Fixed now. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
Kudos on this ROM. I had GPS issues, so I fixed that following the GPS thread that's close by in this forum. I also lost root when I restored the CWM backup I made after flashing this ROM but fixed that with the 3.1 root method. (I restored my first CWM backup of 3.01 to make titanium backups of my apps instead of finding them individually in the market and then restored this ROM.) All in all, a very good ROM - better than one other Acer-based 3.1 ROM I tried.

Three comments so far. One issue (very minor) is there is an empty file (no icon, only text file name) in the Acer eReading folder called Kobo. If I click on it, the folder force closes yet it won't let me delete the file. How can I delete this artifact? The second is I'd like to be able to restore apks that were taken out. The third is why don't we have a movie tab in the market like the Xoom has? I thought it must have been a 3.0 vs 3.1 issue, but now that they're both on 3.1, why doesn't the Acer have access to movies in the market app? I realize they're shown in the internet market, but would like to see them in the app also.

Edit: I just went to the first post to hit the "Thank You" button and see there's now a 1.02 version. How about posting a patch or do we need to flash the full version? I assume a full wipe is not needed, but please confirm.
[Acer Iconia A500] ckarrow2:
System Update FC's

I've installed the latest build (1.02) and am still getting a FC when I click on System Update under About Tablet. Is this a bug or a feature ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Consider it a feature since updating would probably lead to a brick. :D
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
If you were to take an ota update, you'd lose root and all the fine work by richardtrip. Wait until the release is official and then all developers will be rushing to update their ROMs.
[Acer Iconia A500] ckarrow2:
Thanks

I was just checking for functionality after installing the rom... Since the devs here are on top of things, looks like I'll never need to download Acer's own OTA updates anyway! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
I pulled the apks I was looking for out of an old zip, but still need help with the other issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] hohohohoho:
Any OC Kernel coming with this ROM?

Anyway this ROM is impressive.
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
I just flashed 1.02 and that took care of item one. I pulled the missing apks before I noticed you had posted the missing apks, so item two is also gone. Now it's just the market videos issue left. Do the other ROMs have market videos or is it a Xoom specific feature?
[Acer Iconia A500] VandyCWG:
does this ROM have the Dolby Digital stuff in it?

I love some of the ASUS programs, but I miss the Dolby already.
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
Dolby shows up in my system settings just like in 3.0.
[Acer Iconia A500] liem107:
hi richard, i love your gingervillain on my htc desire and i am glad to see the quality is still to notch on my iconia. I was just wondering if the occasional tablet wake up were due to some android process or due to the iconia itself?
[Acer Iconia A500] smaiitm:
Does the 3G USB work?

Thanks for your ROMs.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
google movie market is only for xoom :)
[Acer Iconia A500] VandyCWG:
Awesome thanks for letting me know.....

Downloading now......tye dolby makes a huge difference.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Ups. I've pressed a wrong button so you have a +1 thank you. ;)

Anyway... I believe that it has something to do with wifi because I've never encountered this when I had my wifi disabled.
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
i had this problem from stock rom... but using this rom it has been coming much less

didnt try any custom kernel... maybe that can fix the issue

btw richard, can i use unity acer kernel to flash with this rom ???
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
I case you haven't been given an answer yet, (make a backup first I case freak accident happens) but you can run cwm and choose install zip from Sd, OVER the 1.01version you have keeping everything (data) in place, I just did this myself and everything's fine
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
I have just experienced the bug where wifi can't connect.

Any ETA for a fix or a clue as to what is going on?
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Holy Crap!

My tablet was in my bag all day, supposedly on standby. I just took it out of my bag and the screen was on the lock screen and powered on and the battery was at 22%. I checked the battery stats and the screen has been on for 8 hours. What the hell? This is even worse than before with the Acer stock 3.01. Anyone else getting this with HoneyVillain?
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
8 hours screen on and still having 22% thats actually incredible battery life...

Btw i experienced with all rom... even stock... thats acer issue..

The best way is to put auto lock in 15 seconds usibg power widget
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
Well the stats say the tablet has been on for 11 hours and the screen for 8 of those. I took it off charge at 100% this morning and didn't use it all day. When I went to use it was 22%. I know the screen has come on from time to time with other roms, but not for 8 hours out of 11. That's just ridiculous. I'm wondering which rom to go with next, I am changing every day, it's driving me crazy. I went with HoneyVillain because I thought it was close to stock and would save my sanity. I might have try that minimal one next.
[Acer Iconia A500] chr0m:
So, it looks like if the last thing you have open before putting the tablet on standby is an app that prevents the screen from turning off, when the screen comes on at random from standby, it stays on indefinitely, even though the lock screen is there. I had EasyPDF running and it was set to stop the screen from turning off. When the screen randomly turned on, it stayed on for 8 hours straight :( This is an issue with the Acer stock rom too. It may even be a hardware issue because I think it happens with the Asus based roms too
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
yeah.. u r right, may also be honeycomb issue, i doubt hrdware have part in screen dont turn off

well, if have tasker, u can set a command that whenever u press lock button, screen timeout will be 7 seconds automatically, and put one widget in your homescreen to change screen timeout to higher value..
[Acer Iconia A500] herveo:
works now fine with 1.02 !

i have send you a donation thanks a lot for sharing your work like you do
[Acer Iconia A500] honeycombflytouch3:
will this work on the "iBex Flytouch3?"
[Acer Iconia A500] verdigny:
Sorry to insist, but I just upgraded to 1.02 after a complete wipe and I cannot see my NTFS Usb key in /Parameters/Storage/External USB storage. (No problem with FAT32)

Do we obligatorily need to use another app in order to mount NTFS key?

(I did not make an "insmod" because I think it's included in 1.02 version)

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] colin12345:
Thanks for the Rom. I've tried two of the other Iconia 3.1 Roms but have had a few stability issues. Time to try Honeyvillain :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Thanks!

10 char
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
didn't use my tablet today and had 95% battery left. Don't think there's anything wrong :-) Maybe it's an app that doesn't play nice? you should investigate that.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
This has happened to me on 3.01 so its not the rom, in my case I believe it had to do with my live wallpaper, are you using a live wallpaper by chance?
[Acer Iconia A500] mrvanes:
Beware, -=UNITY V2=- ACER kernel does not work on HoneyVillain 1.02
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Already have a kernel ready, but the rom needs some changes also (working on an update but it needs a little more testing :-).
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
Waiting for your kernel.... used your kernel ob my desire ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
That sucks. If the Xoom market app was installed would we have Google movie market or does the market verify somehow? If the later, is there some way to trick the market?
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
i dont think so, market app content is based on server, not in the app itself, i think u should trick the app to think you are using xoom, maybe by changing build prop or using xoom ported roms, whioch is not available
