Does the loosing root bug have anything to do with SetCPU? I flashed 2.1, everything was fine - root worked great. I used TB to restore all my apps+data, everything was fine - root worked great. Tested some root apps, all was good. Powered off and and back on a couple times, everything still worked great.

Then I decided to run SetCPU and OC and reenable my Profiles. Everything worked fine still. Then I rebooted, and now I have lost root. :-(

So, does it have something to do with SetCPU?
[Acer Iconia A500] tatuk:
Now check your TabooTools. Same crap :(
[Acer Iconia A500] mgeller87:
Su works fine, rom works great vache thank you.

I am still using 1.1. Is it ok to just do an upgrade or wipe and fresh install to 2.1?
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
Can not install

I am on Taboonay 2.1 and I wanted to install this new one. I followed the instruction, dl the zip file and placed it in the external sd and restated the tablet in recovery mode but no way I could find the Taboonay 2.1 zip file. Did i miss some thing?

Thanks for u'r reply
[Acer Iconia A500] Seamonkey79:
Make sure you put the file on the external_sd, as that is where CWR looks for files, not on sdcard, which is where things tend to be placed by default.
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
I have done it

Thanks,

This is what I have done, I put the zip file on the external_sd. But thhe CWR can't find it.
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
Same happened to me. I think the download messed up or something. I was pissed when the downloaded version of 2.1 wasn't seen by cwr and i went onto this thread and saw the root issue and was glad to not have gone through with it until i researched it more. Try downloading it again maybe.
[Acer Iconia A500] taint101:
have a look at the fileextension. When i downloaded the .zip it had ".zip," as ending. This caused cwm not being able to find it.
[Acer Iconia A500] barchamb:
This was definitely my problem with the whole "2.1 looses root" issue. I re-flashed 2.1, and re-restored all my Apps+Data with TB, but this time I did NOT restore SetCPU. I've rebooted a bunch of times, and haven't lost root yet. Looks like something with SetCPU (or any other clock freq app?) causes 2.1 to loose root?

So for now I'll just use the cpu scaling scripts built into Taboonay instead of using SetCPU...
[Acer Iconia A500] ag69:
I had the root problem then i noticed your post and tried to uninstall SetCPU. Guess what ? After a reboot my root privileges were back.

Thanks for the tip.

[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
sweet i'm going for it then because i don't use setcpu.....why when the built in script is amazing. The battery life is amazing too. I have no need to undervolt so sweet. I just have to re-download.

[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
just wondering if the 2.0 batterymod will work on 2.1?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
It's not only setcpu , also if you flash other custom kernel you lose root.
[Acer Iconia A500] margosmark:
I use Thor's kernel and still have root (after riding myself of setcpu of course)
[Acer Iconia A500] green_st:
I confirm. Removal SetCPU has solved a problem with loss Root.
[Acer Iconia A500] ccbunny:
Strange.. I'm using Richardtrip v.3.4 Kernel on Taboonay 2.1 and after 3 reboots i still have roots. Not sure what's wrong with ur guys' rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] joelrios1:
I used this method but I wiped system, data, cache, dalvik (just in case) and reinstalled the rom, then used the zip from above and when it booted I reinstalled the superuser.apk just to make sure everything was alright. If I didn't make myself clear, dont hesitate to contact me and I'll help you on what I can.
[Acer Iconia A500] Seamonkey79:
I just uninstalled SETCPU and now I also have root back. One thing that occurred to me when I went into Taboonay Tools to get my overclock back was that the speeds are different in what shows now with the villain kernel than what I had before... I wonder if setcpu is trying to set a speed no longer available and causing a soft lock out... I will put it back again fresh and see what happens.

edit: nope... reinstall setcpu and root goes away... very interesting. other ideas to make sure right governor and speeds are being used?
[Acer Iconia A500] qwertylesh:
wow! it was that one thing hey.

I knew it was only happening to me after i restored my apps.

removing setcpu for now.

thanks vache and everyone who helped solve this.

Also I have been getting a problem with headphone insertion. my headphone and jack are flawless yet I find most of the time the headphone icon shows up in the OS but it doesnt switch the output from the tablet speakers, I have to **** about with unplugging and replugging them a few times to get it to 'sync' so the output is only through the headphones when i use them.

Im pretty sure this isnt an isolated bug and that the jack detection code is buggy.

if a few of you guys can confirm that its not isolated i can submit it as a bug on vaches site.

as above, on taboonay 2.1 i still get this problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Seamonkey79:
Just installed System Tuner and got into it a bit, I think I've managed to get the CPU and governor set correctly now. Thank you for everyone working on this, really liked the 2.1 update as some parts were quite smoother, but losing root was a weirdo that kept it from being as nice... now that I have both, all is good again. Thank you all again.
[Acer Iconia A500] sonkey:
Yup, SetCPU caused the whole thing for me... Back on 2.1... Thanks, vache
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ok, so if I understand correctly, 2.1 works fine as long as you don't install set cpu and use taboony tools instead to oc?

And that flashing say Thors 3.2 kernel is also ok?

As in root preserved...:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] j.arsenault:
I'm using Thor's 3.5 kernel and it works fine. is there a way to change the governor without setCPU? I'm noticing lag but I'm assuming it's because thor's kernel runs best with interactive instead of ondemand. other than that, nice job! :D

Edit: On another note, CPU Tuner also causes superuser to go away...
[Acer Iconia A500] superbar:
i think all 3.2 firmware has lag, especially in the app drawer, it lags when scrolling thru the apps like 3.0
[Acer Iconia A500] Ztiffn:
hm, okay, i avoid the super user issue by uninstall the SetCPU app, since I had no more problems until now.

what I would have liked, would be entirely dispense with any program....so what file i have to edit (with root explorer) to set the cpu-freq. manualy ?

all apps i have tried the same prob: (SetCPU,SystemTuner Pro, Android Overclock,.....)

the settings are never taken over after the start automaticlly :(

also i dont need the apps again (only to set max cpu freq. one times), but they all run at background.
[Acer Iconia A500] samaliset:
Attention (zip;)

Thanks for your remark. In fact I only renamed the file xx.zip and every thing went great including root.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I like using setcpu , not only for oc but also for undervolting.

I'm using the A500 HC3.2 with root for cwm with THOR 3.5 kernel and setcpu and su never loses root.

I would like to use this rom , I hope "vache" comes up with a real solution.
[Acer Iconia A500] smaury:
I had the same problem with my ROM, I told vache how to fix it, he will provide soon an update I think! It's beter to stop asking about root problem 'cause there are yet many reports! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] FaramirIT:
Version 2.1 installed, everything works perfectly (including root), the only thing that I do not understand, sometimes the screen turns back on itself and this causes the rapid discharge of the battery ...

How do I figure out what brings out the tablet from the stand-by?

Sorry for my english...
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
rom is running great for me. I can now tether with my droid x that is awesome still hasn't fixed the headphones and speakers playing at the sametime which is a huge downer for me. Although the rom runs butter smooth i did a quadrant standard benchmark and i went from a 3800 +/- in taboonay 2.0 to a 2300+/- in 2.1

Hi,

[Acer Iconia A500] sunseb:
overclocking works on a governor so that it won't run at max frequency all the time. If there is a large demand on the CPU it will increase the freq but then drop back to the min when the load drops

Or do you mean your max freq setting changes?
[Acer Iconia A500] tatuk:
Works perfect for me! SetCPU doesn't deny SU any more.

Anther rooting story.

Just a note for those that may have rooting issues on Taboonay 2.1..

I've tried the 'fix' on my Taboonay 2.1 + Thor 3.5, but it didn't work for me.

Eventually I re-flashed, via CWM, to an earlier version of Taboonay 2.0 + Thor 3.2 (A nandroid save that I made a couple of days ago). Still no root when I booted into that :-(.

Installed the 'Fix', but still no root.

I then followed, 'Joelrio1' method (post 1538) and my root was restored successfully.

I'm now staying on Taboonay 2.0 + Thor 3.2 until a proper fix is found for the rooting issue.

Love the ROM, just wish the root issue could be resolved soon.

Sorry ziggy34, I forgot to say thanks to you for your earlier post that solved my root issue.

So here it is: Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] elcanela:
I thought I was the only one that had encountered SU issues like that. I have backed up my ROM prior to adding a mod or messing around with a system file. Then if I restore, even when the restore had everything working, all of a sudden my apps that require root no longer work, which has me perplexed. I have an Android phone that I'm constanly tweaking on and I've never experienced this issue. Its happened with 3.1 ROMS also, so I don't know what to do.
[Acer Iconia A500] sunseb:
i also hadn't regained root after restoring my 2.0 backup until I installed the su_mod "fix"... I was going to try vache's trial fix but I might hold off since I'm getting tired of titanium restores :p

@Vache

you amaze me :D

I have to say so far after checked all rom, I returned to yours... not because others are not good but just because I feel it's the one fit for me and first of all, the update without having to reset all..

suggestion

Kitchen sink more complete with some

ASUS widget (I love the weather widget of ASUS is really better looks than the ACER one, and works without removing the ACER one), maybe some other widget can be good dunno what is Stock ASUS..

ASUS application

Samsung Widget

Samsung Application

ACER widget

ACER application

you removed the acer wallpaper, but seems now having black space replacing them in the wallpaper picker... and if want select it... Force Close... but when you boot first time after install, you get the green acer wallpaper... and can't repick it, if you change background... dunno why... I wonder also... how add STOCK wallpaper directly and not having them appear on the tablet as picture album...

I was wondering on the Samsung galaxy when we want change wallpaper we can choose between LockScreen or Desktop.... and that is a really wonderfull feature... possible to be in a future update of your rom ?

I got an issue with the recovery when I restore my backup (from the recovery 1.3.4) I have to reinstall the latest update of taboonay let say 0.8.4 to get the SuperUser working, or else When I boot the tablet I need to reRoot the tablet... manually... weird.

Continue your great job, I really like the quality of your roms

Note: I use on my Acer MT your gingeroonay (I got only sometimes an issue with the camera who not take pictures... killing the process works temporaly, but to be ok for a while I need to restart the phone... Btw I can't post anything on Modaco... dunno what happen I got gibberish code instead the reply page hahaha)

Here is the stock Launcher2.apk with Acer wallpapers, push it to /system/app/.

http://vache-android.com/files/IconiaTab/addons/Launcher2.apk

About the 2nd question, the answer is no.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Copy from your stock tablet and replace Launcher2.apk. You can find it under /system/app/. I just downloaded another rom and extracted the app from there and replaced the one that came with this rom.

The only downside is that you'll have to set you screens again because they'll be reverted to stock (eg. no widgets and icons on it).

EDIT: Damn! Ninja Vache beat me to it. :)

Very weird that. My iconia is actually an iconia in a gateway shell. My sis-in-law works in acer and it was a sample they had so she gave it to me. Just tried out the headphones and no problems at all. Weird how the original sample got it right but the end product got it wrong.:confused:
