its so quiet here compared to other... but i dont have any issue using this rom, only audio in avi files cant play audio using hardware decoding (acer firmware limitation)

and i request you to make the kernel support ps3 (or perhaps other controller), dexter have found easy way for that :)
[Acer Iconia A500] adancau:
I don't have any issues either, love this ROM and can't wait to see it updated with new kernel features :-) Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
I've followed the directions in op but when I choose to install zip I get an error: E:Can't mount /sdcard

:/ I know this is prObably basic knowledge but cwm is new to me

Edit: please excuse me and disregard this question, I found a fix almost immediately after postage this.

The fix incase anyone else needs the same answer was this, I had the zip on a 16gb sd and it wasn't being registered, I moved the zip to a 2gb card and it was found with no problem. So anyways...

Thanks for your help and replies.

Yes media support is not very good with acer stock kernel.

Richard can you do anything about this?? Maybe take the good stuff from asus kernel??

Otherwise this by far the best rom for now!!

[Acer Iconia A500] originalone:
so is it a stock kernel 3.2 (a501) or custom kernel v1.7 you have included? since oc is not here, it must be stock kernel?

please add this feature in the next kernel release:

Argh!

Been using Honeyvillain 1.05 for ages with no problem. One day of using 1.1 and I just got the non-responsive touchscreen issue when trying to resume from sleep. The clock is still ticking over on the lockscreen but I can't swipe to unlock.

I press the power button to shut down and it asks if I want to shut down but I can't say yes because the stupid touch screen won't respond. I had to hold down power to hard shut down.

Why does this happen? It's happened before with other roms but I thought those days were in the past. It's annoying when problems you had ages ago come back in later roms.
[Acer Iconia A500] Pittek:

How do you delete "Please insert a SIM card" from the lockscreen?

In the 1st post it says something about to disable mobile date to go to system/build.prop (uncomment #ro.carrier=wifi-only)

Dont understand what's suppose to be done? do you edit & delete in a text editor?

& how do you apply the camera fix? just install zip from SD in CWM?
[Acer Iconia A500] B214B1:
Take the # off in "edit as text" (at least in root explorer) save and that's it.

Camera fix is installed with cwm just as you said.

[Acer Iconia A500] B214B1:
Are you guys running the newest newest HV Kernel? I am and I have no wifi issues at all.

This is a longshot, but the only thing on mine that is not original(except the Netflix patch) is I changed the wifi channel info from EU to US in the build.prop. I have no idea if that makes any difference, but it might be worth a shot.
[Acer Iconia A500] phoenixbennu:
Hey I am running the newest kernel and everything, but was wondering about the camera. It just seems that in the high quality mode everything seems stalky, but in the low quality mode everything seems fine. I was sifting through the other posts and cant find something like this already questioned, or I may be overlooking it. Just wondering if anyone knows whats going on or if there is a fix.

problems flashing after kernel 2.3 [solved]

In the past I flashed without problems both the rom (honey villain 1.04, 1.05, 1.05a) and the kernels.

But starting with kernel 2.5 and now with the rom 1.1 I cannot seem to flash to a working OS anymore :(

From the clockworkmod recovery I choose zip as always, select the honeyvillain 1.1.zip, install, it says everything ok but when I reboot it gets stuck on the ACER logo for ever, without moving on to show the android boot animation and so on.

Anyone has an idea what went wrong?

@richardtrip, has any major change happened to boot.img starting from kernel 2.5?

Luckily I can go back to my clockwork backup of 1.05a and kernel 2.3, but it sure isn't nice to be stuck there and can't progress.

Any idea how to investigate the issue further?

Should I first install a stock rom before attempting HoneyVillain 1.1?

What I tried was flashing 1.1 on top of 1.05a after a wipe.

Thanks everybody!

EDITED: my fault. By downloading the new rom/kernels directly from the tablet and saving to the usbdisk I was experiencing (without noticing) file corruption...

As I re-downloaded from the pc, the rom flashing went smoothly...

I'll leave this post in case others will stumble in my same problem.

[Acer Iconia A500] TucanoRC:
Still WiFi Signal Loss

B214B1,

I am running the newest HV 1.1 with the HV 3.2 OC UV Kernel.

I took it to work today and had no issues when I connected to the WiFi there. Same settings as home, WPA/WPA2. When I got home, I was able to test a little more and found that if the WiFi signal drops to one bar, then it will disconnect and then reconnect. I moved closer to the home office and BAM! Full Signal with no drop outs. When I moved back in to the living room, the same problem started up again. Drops connection and then reconnects.

I have changed the region setting from EU to US hoping that was the problem, but a no go. Any more ideas?

My son has his Asus Transformer sitting on the same table and gets full signal strength. My DroidX has not issues with signal either.

Acer A500 - Was 3.1 stock - Now - HV1.1 with 3.2 OC UV Kernel...

And always, Thanks richardtrip!

I am right next to my router. On a G band. Have tested different channels. With security on & off. Wireless drops, does not reconnect. My network says its "Disabled, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK, does not reconnect automatically.

[Acer Iconia A500] wailoon:
I got an error message every time I restart my Iconia.

I flash the OC, addon, and the 2 fixes.

What should I do to fix this problem??
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
Ignore it for now.

There's one other bug that i've seen on dexter's Primee rom that I also saw on this rom. I prefer this rom because it's an acer rom and the hardware aspect lock button works again!.

The problem is that there's a bug with the gallery apk. One of my biggest concerns with this tablet is it's ability (or lack thereof sometimes) to sleep. This rom does appear to sleep more easily than the Primee rom, however, I've found gallery can "keep alive" the system when you try to make it sleep. This morning around 2am I used the tablet to browse a couple websites. I did not open gallery once. Prior to browsing the sites the tablet had been sleeping perfectly for 5 hours. I finished browsing and put the tablet back to sleep.

When I woke this am around 9am and checked it, I noticed I had lost about 20% battery and the 5 minute load for each interval was ~95ma. I looked in "what's been using battery" and there's the damn gallery app running. If I click on it there's actually a "keep awake" time listed that matched the timeframe from 2am-9am.

I had to remove the stock gallery app in primee to get rid of this pain.

Curious if anyone else has it hogging up battery life.
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
Did you try this fix a couple of pages back?
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
That fix didn't work for me until I just reflashed the rom. Problem is it only continues to work as long as you or the system don't check for updates. Probably an XML tweak needed after looking at the file.

I had the same issue, I had flashed from stock to 3.2 and had the systemupdater error.

I fixed it by installing the 3.1-1.05 a rom in the first post, then upgrading to the new one

Edit: I did let the 3.1 rom start once to see if I got the error, it did it so I tried the 3.2 rom and it worked fine

This app, from the same developer as Acer Recovery Installer, did the trick for me. It's not a free app though, it's a whopping $1:

You have to make sure to remember to re-enable the phone features using the same app before flashing a new ROM though, apparently.

Honey villain questions.

Is it me or does the scrollling of the app drawer (not the main desktop) choppy? It starts out smooth but if you go back and forth it gets all choppy.

No problem with the desktop though even when full of widgets and icons.

Also, i've noticed that if I'm streaming audio from pandora, the wifi will disconnect a few seconds after the screen turns off. I understand in the settings there's options for wifi disconnect rules, all 3 options result in a disconnect. Any fixes I should try?

Why was the interactive gov removed? It seemed the quickest to ramp up to full speed, besides of course performance.

Finally, if they release an official HC3.2 for a500 will there be a Honeyvillian 1.1b or something like it?

Thanks!

New kernel released with interactive enabled (and fast). U should try it. For the wifi disconnect did you save the settings? There is a save option.

When the device sleeps wifi is going in a low power mode (i can create a custom module which doesnt do that but uses a little more power in sleep)

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hello Richard, Looks like things run ok, up to a point.

Keep in mind, there are 67 pages here, and to tell you the truth, I quit after 20 or so.

ok, I installed your original Rom, heck, I hope it was, There was nothing that indicated it was an originating Rom.

I use an A501, so the 3g is important. After flashing the original, I got FC's when I tried to check or add an APN, carrier wasn't automated.

So I flashed 4 of your kernels, but to no effect. Still FC when it comes to data networks.

In fact, the last 2 I flashed, 3.0 and 3.3, made my display all wonky. Like it was backwards.

From what I saw, in the earlier flashes, it looked very promising, but without some sort of instructions, it's honestly hard to tell where and what kernels to install.

In the end, I rebooted back to the original Rom. 3.0.1

I think there should be 2 threads, 1 for the A500, and a seperate for the A501, after the 3g is fixed.

You do some awesome work, and I really want to check it out. but in my case, and it seems a few others, well, we get lost. It's not my first flashing, just for this tablet.

So maybe I am stupid, maybe I missed something in those 40 pages.

If you need to check some kernels, let me know, and I'll flash them on this 501 to check 3g.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
You only need HoneyVillain 1.1 + 3.3 kernel. Some people confirmed it is working for them so i don't know what to fix if it's not working for you. It has to be enabled from boot if i remember correctly (so maybe that was the problem?).
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Of course this will be updated when the official 3.2 is out. (on 3.3 kernel interactive is enabled btw).
[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Hi Richard,

Do we have a release date of when/if 3.2 will be officially released?

All the best,

Keep up the amazing work!
[Acer Iconia A500] DRTMI:

It happened again last night. The battery was dead and tablet off. I charged to 100% took it off charge and powered it on. Then I went to bed. When I woke up 7 hours later the screen was on and it was reporting that the screen had been on for 3 of the 7 hours that the tablet had been on and battery had dropped to 60%. There were no apps loaded because it was a clean boot. This only seemed to start happening after I updated to your 3.4 kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thanks, got it going!

Not oc'd as I ran it for a couple days before adding any special apps just to see how it ran. After 2 days of no troubles, booted system in the morn and 3g Sim was not recognized. Like it wasn't even installed. System properties showed no trace, and no setting options for APN's and such. Like it reverted to a 500 series rom/kernel with no 3g support.

Did all the usual, remove sim, insert sim, reboot,reboot and reboot. No dice.

Reflashed kernel/rom, 3g back. A day or so later, on bootup, same thing. Like there wasn't 3g support.

There be a small bug in the code mate ;)

Flashed back to stock 3.0 and no problem, so it wasn't a suspected hardware isssue.

Thoughts?
