How do I recover the original games in this rom?(NFS and Let's Golf)

The kids really like NFS shift.

Flash was successful but the games won't start and proces is {unexpectedly stopt message) appears...?
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Need to check. flashing now. Tested both games and they run fine here.
[Acer Iconia A500] DeKoster:
Does it work for you?
[Acer Iconia A500] DeKoster:
I try it again!.....works fine now!:)

Strange bug with browser on VK.com or Vkontakte.ru (Russian social network): When I go to any page except the main, the browser redirects me back to the main and begins to update it constantly.
[Acer Iconia A500] omikron2001:
Just the same, but on stock 3.1, for now using DolphinHD. Did you wipe before update?

Very pleased to see Villainrom developing for Iconia...I was a regular user of their HTC Hero´s rom.

Great!!!

Looking forward to use your ROM!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Included in next version.
[Acer Iconia A500] bluegekkon:
What with my problem? There is reason to believe that this problem does not in FW, but the kernel or official firmware itself. omikron2001 has the same problem, but it leaked firmware is installed (without root)
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Flashed it.

SetCPU 2.2.4 FC's after hitting autodetect speeds...
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Found a MAJOR issue with this. I setup a pin lock. It's the same pin I use for everything. I rebooted, and now the pin is invalid!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
That really sucks. I also use a pin unlock code but haven't had this issue when updating this ROM. The only thing I can think to recommend is to wipe your cache and dalvik cache and reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
I just reflashed.

Still, it's a bug. Dev needs to be made aware.
[Acer Iconia A500] bvbazel:
flashing korenel 2.0 and still showing 1.0+ any help plase what i am doing wrong thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
SetCPU works now, and everything else works. Looks like the issue was with restoring system data.
[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
So I can just use SetCPU to reduce the OC value back down to 1 ghz correct?
[Acer Iconia A500] bvbazel:
one more bug the camcorder is getting fc any idea
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
I doubt its a bug. Working perfectly here. Have you eventually did a restore from an old backup with Titanium backup including system apps?
[Acer Iconia A500] bvbazel:
no 2 hours after flashing the camera is working fine now but the camcorder opens up and when you hit the record it goes in fc, did reflas with wipe and is working fine now . do you have any idea as far as kernel 2.0 ? just did flash with 2.0 but in system setting shows still that is villain-1.0+ dont get it ....:mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Kernel version: 2.6.36.4HoneyVillain-1.0+

It means this kernel is for HoneyVillain ROM version 1.0.X and above. Beneath that you can see the ROM version - HoneyVillain 1.05.
[Acer Iconia A500] bvbazel:
Thank you . for some time i was thinking i was doing something wrong , but still would be nice to be shown in the settings what kernel is running on tablet ufter update since there was so many in last few days ..:)
[Acer Iconia A500] R@R#M@N:
can play 1080p H.264 Video with this ROM ??

what about battery life ?
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Currently there's no HC device with any ROM that can play smoothly high data rate 1080p video. Base-line profile is supposed to be played fine through hdmi.

As long as your display resolution is limited to 1280x800 there's no point in trying to watch 1920x1080 on your tab - 1280x720 would be just enough and trust me it plays it pretty well. Of course there's a big inconvenience if your video content is 1920x1080 and you don't want to waste time converting it.

Hope that thread will be useful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1151390

If you want you can do your own tests with the famous here Bourne Ultimatum trailer:

http://www.dvdloc8.com/clip.php?movieid=12954&clipid=1

I'll test it in half an hour and post back.

Bourne's trailer plays smooth both on tablet only and on 37" fullhd LCD. Video specs:

Video:

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

Input size:1920 x 816(2.35:1)

Frame Rate:23.97

Sample rate:48000 ->48000 samples / sec

Bit rate:16 ->16 bits / sample

Overall bitrate 7410 kbps

This is not high profile like 15 and more mbps bitrate but it is like something in the middle :)
[Acer Iconia A500] R@R#M@N:
tnx for answer !

i know there is no difference between 1080p and 720p in 720p screen size ! but exactly my problem is convert 1080p to 720p !

i have many movies in 1080p size ,you mean for watch each movie in A500 i must convert to 720p size ??

there is no way to play 1080p (MKV .... H.264 codec) on A500 without converting to 720p ??

tnx and sorry for bad ENGLISH :D
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
I think it all depends to the particular video file and its data rate. I just started checking my collection - most of them are also 1920x1080 mkv but with different data rate.

"I am legend" ~ 9 mbps

"L.O.T.R" ~ 16 mbps

I will check them out - it takes ages to copy these huge files :)

Upgrade or complete wipe?

Hi everyone,

I am running HoneyVillian 1.04 right now.

What do I have to do to get to 1.05a. Wipe everything in CWM or just install the 1.05a zip from the sd-card?

Do I install the 1.05 ROM first and then the Kernel 2.0?

Thanks

Count
[Acer Iconia A500] R@R#M@N:
:)) !! thx man !

im wating for answer :X

thx
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
As along as there are significant changes since 1.04 I would recommend you to do a clean install i.e. wipe data, factory reset, then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Flash the ROM and on second place flash the kernel - the same way.

Anyone else having a lot of lag in the UI?
[Acer Iconia A500] Jonnay0808:
Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to tablets, I haven't even gotten mine yet. I want to have 3.1 rooted and this is a great post, but I don't completely understand.

"Flash kernel with recovery (only for honeyvillain and stock rom):"

so that means that I have to be rooted on 3.0 and use Acer Recovery Installer to flash that kernel. Then I wipe my data and flash the big file?

also, so after everything is done, does it reboot then I flash the game addon? Thanks for the help!
[Acer Iconia A500] demmo81:
I just tried the trailer its working perfectly with no problems what's so ever. is it 720p???
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
FYI folks, WXGA is NOT 1080p, and it cannot display this. It's not possible.
[Acer Iconia A500] franksames:
I tried every Rom out there and always come back to this one.

It's a nice fast and nearly 100% Acer Stock, but better and faster.

The last Kernel give it really a boost.

Thank you Richardtrip for this nice work.
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
I am having this also. It seems to have gotten worse with the newest kernel. It happens when moving back to home screen and when playing Tegra 2 games. I see ghosting, freezes, lags and what not. I had hoped that overclocking would fix the problem and it does not. If it were a PC, I would blame it on insufficient RAM.

Hope there is a fix.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Are you using SetCPU? Seems that this isn't starting on boot, even with the box checked off. I have to manually open it on each reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] kipp3i:
It is that i notice that GPS signal strength increase and lock time to decrease dramatically on this rom
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Nope. In fact this is the most "lag-less UI" ROM I've tried. I've tried Tabooney, m-deejay's Virtual Picasso and Virtual Galaxy. But who knows - it might be subjective to some extent :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
I am using SetCPU and will have to check it.

I have used this ROM throughout its evolution. This lag is new for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
A500 has no worse performance on video playback than TF.

For some people the onboard USB port is very important. As you can see it is used not only for drive mounting but for 3G modem, gamepad, mouse and keyboard as well. ASUS has a better screen but its best to go and compare the two side by side. You wouldn't go wrong with any of them. .... Sorry but I think this thread is getting little too much off the topic.
[Acer Iconia A500] mremolt:
I came from 1.0.3 without wipe. First the rom then the kernel and no problems so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] richdaley:
This ROM is killing me. Everything works! What fun is that?

I have had a MyTouch 3G from the early days of Android and after 2+ years of putting ROMs on it, I kind of, sort of have most things working. I am not sure what to do with a ROM that works perfectly.
[Acer Iconia A500] mrbig012:
I must've done something wrong...

I still have the wake from sleep issue. I just came to the Villain ROM from the Virtuous Galaxy (upgraded, I should say). I did a complete system / cache wipe before flashing Kernel (2.6.36.4HoneyVillain-1.0+) then flashed the ROM (HoneyVillain1.05) both in CWM.

Why, oh why, does it seem like I am the only one still having this wake issue? :mad: It is a serious battery drain. Screen comes on once or twice every 5 minutes... Lame that my EVO lasts longer than my Iconia! :)

Any advice?
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Are you seeing the lag? It's basically unusable with the lag. I have to go in and start SetCPU for the lag to disappear. Sometimes I have to start SetCPU several times to make the lag go away, it's almost like SetCPU is exiting or something. What do you have yours set to? I have CPU maxed out for min/max. I had it set to performance. But I changed it to ondemand, and it seems kind of better for the time being.

And yes, I have set on boot checked off.
[Acer Iconia A500] willbur73:
Wow. Adding the cell standby fix made a huge difference on my battery life. I have been getting frustrated at getting battery life barely over 7-8 hours of moderately heavy use. Come on. My 2 year old laptop gets 5-6 on my windows settings. Butnow I actually see a bigger better difference.

Can u fix the issue with 2nd processor? Download android system info and under cpu youll see processor 0 at 999 bogomips and processor 1 at like 212 but after boot they both at 999 its after u take tablet out of sleep when it goes down to 212 and doesnt go back up

Hi,

Updated from stock 3.0.1 yesterday and it feels like a solid ROM.

I'm having a problem though; the browser doesn't seem to sync completely. Only some of my bookmarks are visible, a lot of them aren't. In Settings, the sync icon behind Browser never goes away.

I did a complete wipe, including caches and fixed permissions...

Other than that, a good ROM, thanks Richard!

[Acer Iconia A500] loermansa:
Thanks for the link, but I sync my bookmarks across all of my computers. All of them are running Chrome and I just want to sync bookmarks automagically. To me, it's a killer feature to be able to do that and it's what sets Chrome/Android browser apart from all the others.

I'm having the same issue, did you already found a solution?

That is not connecting via WiFI anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
I can confirm that SetCPU needs to be set to ondemand, not performance, or anything else. Anything other than ondemand causes the lag.

I just picked up an open-box Acer tablet from Staples which had this rom and kernel loaded on it. Is there any way to restore the tablet back to the original Acer OS? The factory reset in the menu doesn't do it. Acer will do it, if I mail it in to them.

Actually that's quite nice! I would have loved to buy the device already rooted with a custom rom on it lol.

But yeah those two links will work. Takes about 8 minutes to get it back to stock :-) but I've found this rom more battery efficient and faster.

Is this ROM going to be upgraded to Android 3.2? The SDK was released last week.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Did some test and i'm sure that both cores run at peek (1504Mhz) when needed (just run a benchmark and check).
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
SDK - software development kit, not rom. Useless in this case.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
How's that useless? Google doesn't release official ROMs.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
No, but you should note that all the roms are based on official releases, either from Acer, or another manufacturer. And, there have been no sdk ports. Sdk roms have no hardware optimizations or drivers, no acceleration, not all basic functions work, and are only for times of desperation.

What we need is an Acer 3.2 build to leak, then you will see Acer based 3.2 roms.

Hallo at all,

a Question to Richard i have many Problems with Clear.fi und Stream from my LG NAS N1T1 via DLNA, a longer Time ago i installed Prime (ASUS ROM) there are MyNet to Stream from my NAS, it runs . . . very Good and a clear simple GUI

Any Chance "MyNet" run in this ROM or can you this insert it for the next Generation?

I copy "MyNet.apk" to the System/app Directory local (a500) Files no Problem it's played but no Network Devices Found and when i use the menu Option it Crashes. :eek:

Alrightey. Like I said, I have min/max set to 1504 and, onboot checked off, and ondemand selected. Since doing this, lag is gone.
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:
You want set on boot to be checked or you will have to manually start SetCPU to get it to do anything other than the default kernel settings. Correct? Am I misunderstanding you?
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
The issue was this...

Had SetCPU checked off to start on boot, 1504 for max/min, and performance set rather than ondemand. Lag would kick in at random. To make that go away, I'd have to go into SetCPU again, and then back out of it. Since changing to ondemand, the lag has stopped.
[Acer Iconia A500] Irieone:

checked-off as in the box was checked

not

Thanks for this ROM; Short report

Hi,

I use HonyVillain 1.05 ROM using latest v2.3 kernel.

I used till now stock, Virtuos Galaxy ROM and now this one. Had a lot issues with Galaxy ROM (YouTube, Browser, etc.).

Now using this one, and have to say, I have not experience any drawback till now, compared to original ROM.

- Because of overclock possibilities I can now view videos in HD with moboplayer. (Video was slightly too slow with stock ROM).

- all original Games run

- the browser keeps Desktop setting

- YouTube is fine

- all Acer specials works (added it from Taboonay online kitchen)

With the older kernel (v 2.1 I had problem to awake ROM from sleep when oveclocked). This is sloved with V2.3 kernel. Thanks for that.

A proposal for next kernel/ROM:

- When selecting Wifi energy save option, change the wifi shutdown sequence in a way it only switches off, if no more data traffic is going over wifi (or below a certain limit (less than 100KBytes per Minute). I use the tablet a lot for internet radio programs. It switches the screen off, and cpu is still fast enough to decode musik. But because of Wifi rules, the radio stops because of data errors after a few minutes screen off state.

Thanks again for this great work.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
That wifi problem is a small problem that can be fixed (can make a separate wifi module for you to try).
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
There you go:

extract and use root explorer to put it in /system/lib/modules/

Does anyone have issues with WEP with wifi?

I flashed the rom, used wpa2 at home, on tether to my g2x, zero issues rom much smoother than previous one I ran.

Took it to work, setup work's wep and it wouldn't obtain IP.

Not being able to investigate it at work, I rebooted once with wifi on, once with wifi off, just in case. Would never connect.

Restored nandroid of previous rom and used it w/o issues.

Was still in the kernel included in the rom, sub 2.x

The move back made it painfully clear how much smoother this rom/kernel combo was. Going to see about upgrading kernel now.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Did you forget the network and reconnect? The wifi driver is newer then the one from the original kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Yes. I made it forget and reconnected after each reboot, after it didn't reconnect.

Btw, I was on 1.8 kernel, saw it when I moved 2.3 over right now.

Like I said, zero issues with wpa2....which made the wep bit so much more surprising.

ah oh well, guess what, no wifi at all, so it's not a wep issue. (authenticates but doesn't get ip, just like at work)

at least su acts normal now, the rest is majorly weird, not like i go around setting 755 on su and 644 on Superuser.apk on a daily basis o_O

It's not how your updater-script installed the files, this is a very strange regression that happened between flashing the rom and taking it to work yesterday.

A modification of the running/working system.

That's the only reason i ever posted here, i saw it as a "WEP doesn't work, crap" that su/Superuser.apk and who knows what else are hosed is just too weird, if i had caught that before posting, i hadn't wasted your time, i just didn't expect the working system to have "changed" in this manner.

One that still screams to have the tablet wiped and flashed anew. (and i hate wiping, as CM7 user, i don't really ever wipe)

adb lolcat shows dhcp trouble.

not sure if i want to use my tablet and reflash or fix dhcp if i can find what else has "changed", latter sure would interfere with wife's plans to go out to eat right now, former goes against my dislike to reinstall everything :)

I'll just reflash rom, and count this as "an odd one" and dig deeper if it comes back, i'm more interested in running the rom with 2.3 kernel than chase a phantom.

Thanks,

Daniel

Richard Trip,

I use 1.05a and kernel 2.4 :). I mailed you about gps, but its better right now. I reinstalled 1.05a after trying prime 9.

But i stil have a buggy microphone. All roms including stock has this problem. Do you have any idea why.

Is it a hardware failure or maybe a driver thing?

Is it possible for you to increase input sound an maybe output a little.

Thanks for your work?

PS: heb je "qloud media free" al geprobeerd en "mantano reader" als pdf reader?

You think you could drop the minimum sampling rate back to 10000 on one of your future kernels? (Not the default, just to have that choice)

WiFi sleepmode defer while transfer (Internet Radio)

Cool; Thanks a lot; Will try tonight and report.

OK: Here is my report:

It lasts now longer, only disconnected WiFi stops radio. But it still happens. Maybe the limit should be lower e.g. 20KB per Minute is enough.

Or it needs a longer measure time, e.g. 2 minutes instead of 1 minute to measure datatransfer over WiFi.

But anyway thanks for the great work!

[Acer Iconia A500] ryutsuke:
I don't know if this will help you, but I was having the same issue at work when I did a fresh install of this rom. At my work I have to use 802.1x EAP but when I would put in my credentials all I would see is "Connecting...". What I had to do to connect successfully was add the network in manually.

So I just hit add a network then I entered the SSID manually as well as my credentials and it connected.
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Thanks a lot. When I picked up the iconia I remembered what I meant to add.

When you add a second mount line to remount /data with noauto_da_alloc you get a nice benefit out of ext4

Used on vibrant by Supercurio's voodoo lagfix, adopted by CM on Nexus S and I use it on g2x after ext4 conversion (cm still uses ext3 :/)

Can do a quick test on terminal:

mount -r -w -o remount,noauto_da_alloc /data /data

Hope this helps.
