Still on the train of no booting with 3.6. Wiped the caches still nothing.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Ok, will take a look at it when i have some time. What rom are u using btw?
[Acer Iconia A500] kaosum:
Latest Taboonay (2.2).
[Acer Iconia A500] z-control:
me too, stay on animat booting with taboonay 2.2 with your 3.6 kernel
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
Would you consider merging morfics changes from his test kernels (he sent i the git address) ? They greatly improve responsiveness Imo.
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
As it's been said, at least Richard posts his source so others can benefit, fork, or improve upon it . Your kernels are useless to developers cause u refuse to follow gpl. *no sarcasm* ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] z-control:
with any build of this kernel, i have a problem with headphone, the sound is coming out from the tablet too.

With other kernel, there is no issu !
[Acer Iconia A500] bottedumal:
Hi, did you test kernel 3.5 and 3.6?

what kernel are you using?
[Acer Iconia A500] z-control:
3.5 and 3.6 doesn't want to boot, and i use thor kernel
[Acer Iconia A500] mrmela:
Same problem.

3.5 and 3.6 no work on Tabooney 2.2 and Tabooney 2.1b. Infinity boot image and not start.

3.4 work pefect.
[Acer Iconia A500] jamesbond007uk:
Same here.
[Acer Iconia A500] tresed:
With version 3.6 boot ok but the audio does not work

Installed and restarted sound ok, restarted again, I do not have audio
[Acer Iconia A500] propagandax:
Same for me
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
thor a little anti-community

Wow, before this I was going to give his kernel a go... :(
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
Same for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
same for me too
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
you won't use his kernel yet you have no problem with using his recovery?
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
well that was before he made that post in here... so snarky... and if you know of another option for recovery I'll make the switch pronto.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
3.6 working great here.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
It will be fixed in the next version for sure :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
stock recovery works quite well. Just saying if you don't want to support or use his work don't. Don't pick and choose what you will use of his because it suits your needs and say you won't use his kernel. I agree his remarks are uncalled for and unwarranted, but you sound like a hypocrite they way you posted.

Sorry for off topic here richardtrip, keep up the good work and hope you get the issues resolved.
[Acer Iconia A500] giancarlo_f:
Thx

Richard thankx for your work and efford in this kernel! Works fine with Taboonay 2.2.

Till yet no FC or whatsoever.

Fijn weekend!

.

Same for me. A500 does not boot
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
So far I haven't noticed any issues with 3.6, just played about an hours worth of Asphalt 6, seemed much more responsive than 3.4.
[Acer Iconia A500] Madelynn28:
How do you get into recovery manually? (power + vol. down?) I am stuck on boot with this kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] propagandax:

Been trying to get 3.5 or 3.6 past boot animation no luck here.

Posted from my a500 oc @ 3ghz ddr3 speed 17% boost. Taboonay 2.2 Honeyvillan 2.4+ custom with ntegra fixes. 17890 cf-bench, 9000 antutu. Custom named n-Game OS v 1.2.3b.
[Acer Iconia A500] sergeantosborne:
what ntegra fixes? searched the forum for:

but no luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] nrnx:
Video and sound lag.

There are several ntegra api fixes and updates, they allow you to do more with the multiple cores. Fixes include improved shaders, faster gpu mflops, and basically a speed increase of 20% in the graphical department, not achieved by overclocking. It will raise your current benchmark scores by at least 10-15 percent, and allows several hd games to be ran in the background at once without video or sound lag. It is basically like a driver update.

3.7 works fine, thanks :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Update:

Version 3.7:

Added some tweaks from morfic (thanks to morfic for sharing).

Edited ramdisk image (more like 3.4 version)

Added JRCU (An RCU for SMP with a single CPU garbage collector)
[Acer Iconia A500] xdachique:
Is it working with taboonay 2.2 ??
[Acer Iconia A500] giancarlo_f:
Taboonay 2.2 and Richard 3.7 kernel a perfect combination!
[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Could somebody tell me what are the best CPU settings to use with this kernel?

I.e Minimum and Maximum and what governor

Thanks

[Acer Iconia A500] Luescoff:
I'm using taboonay 2.2 with this kernel and its faster than with 3.4. Thank you for this great kernel. I'm using 1.5 ghz with on demand governor and it has a great response time.

V37, is working really well with morfics mods. Thanks for merging them! Very responsive and snappy, not to mention good bench scores : easily broke 15k in cfbench at 1.65g, but scores were also quite good at 1.2ghz. Just testing a random wake issue, trying to get narrow it down

Thanks for the update, you and morfics should coordinate more often :)

Whatever you "need". I run 216/1200 normally when not benching. Some people need 1.4,all depends on whether u want battery life vs performance
[Acer Iconia A500] Digil:
Working great on a rooted stock 3.2 ROM. Kernel v3.6 didn't work for me. One quick question, can I add ro.carrier=wifi-only to build.prop on my stock ROM to get rid of the cell standby?
[Acer Iconia A500] AcerA501-User:
I have some issues with the new kernel.

Sometimes the tab reboots in standbymode or it shut down.

When i´m connected to facebook and i watch a video, the tab hangs completely and i must shut down the tab.
[Acer Iconia A500] sedardna:
3.7 repair that
[Acer Iconia A500] Digil:
I'm currently running 3.7, and still showing cell standby eating up a large chunk of my battery. Do I need to do something else?
[Acer Iconia A500] jamesbond007uk:
All my root applications shows root acces denied. I use kernel 3.7 and Taboonay 2.2. How can I fix this?
[Acer Iconia A500] San Pedro:
My tab was shutting down in standby mode as well, so I reverted back to 3.4. Oh, and I'm using taboonay 2.2.
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
Flashed 3.7, aswell cell standby is taking up 26% of battery life, how to remove?
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
Running GREAT!!!

Thanks Mr. Trip!

This kernel w/ Taboonay 2.2 rocks my world...OC's to 1.4 and so far getting 2 days use out of it while being super responsive, browser renders seems substantially faster, games render REALLY fast...You've made my tab Very Happy (...and me!)Thanks!

Off to go donate!
[Acer Iconia A500] prophetic:
Am I the only one having a battery drain issue with 3.7 and Taboonay 2.2? My tab is on airplane mode with wifi disabled, and overnight can drop a full charge. Never had a problem with battery drain from kernel 3.0 until now.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Acer Iconia A500] elsuirad:
Currently on Taboonay 2.1 (7.006_COM_GEN1) ROM.

Can I use this Kernel?

How can I do it?
[Acer Iconia A500] San Pedro:
I was too, along with it shutting down during sleep mode. I went back to 3.4 and no more problems.
[Acer Iconia A500] nexgenasian:
any one having intermittent display on off cycles.. but sometimes the display gets stuck on and drains my battery?

running honeyvillain 1.2 and kernel 3.7.
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
Yes having the exact same issue so someone suggested set wifi to turn off when screen off. Just tried it but not sure if it will work.

Ps - doesn't work. Wifi doesn't even turn off.
[Acer Iconia A500] Luescoff:
I'm having some fc on browser when watching some hd videos in youtube. Why? Also it rebooted my tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] touchtop:
I have a issue too,after i updated to kernel 3.7+ HoneyVillain_1.2, when reboot A500, the memory information in Advanced Task Manager is Memory:345/643MB, why total available memory is only 643MB，i remember that it's about 725MB when running kernel 3.5.
[Acer Iconia A500] johnteh15:
Hi it seems like some of the changes you made from 3.4 to 3.7 can cause sleep of death. I am having a lot of issue with SOD. Possible to identify what causes this issue?Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
http://morfic.euroskank.com/iconia/T19.zip

Try this kernel, while v3.7 has most the speed ups of T19, it doesn't switch to lp2 low power mode instead it uses lp0.

With v3.7 I have screen wake up with T19, it stays off. Would be good to know this fixes it for others. (Manually switching v3.7 to lp2 also fixed it for me)

Someone else has issues with a2dp on screen off, no issues here with screen off.
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
since i never "reboot" i never hit a no sound problem

can you give me steps to recreate the issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Honey Villain.
[Acer Iconia A500] JiggaGeazY:
I've never before gotten random reboots but with 3.7 i get at least 2 random reboots a day. Anyone else getting this.

I'm running Taboonay v.2.2/ kernel v.3.7 richardtrip
[Acer Iconia A500] Calicodesiles:
Got exactly the same bug, without any reason. There's no overclocking so I don't know where this comes from
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
sounds similar to temporarily no sound after boot.

I'll look for sound related issues when i work on T20 and up.

Since this never showed for me (don't have unlock sounds or anything else this early)

For anyone with a screen wake issue, i would like for you to try this on the terminal, so i can make sure this alone fixes it, or if it is something else + that in ramdisk:

echo lp2 > /sys/power/suspend/mode

you can check what it is at by default with:

cat /sys/power/suspend/mode

If it is not at lp2, and screen wake is gone for you on any kernel V3.7 or prior after switching it to lp2, let me know, would appreciate it.

Daniel
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
And if the lp2 suspend mode fixes the screen wake problem i will change it in the next version. Just a little busy the last couple of weeks :-(
[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.

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 I had lost root and could not get it back no matter how many times I cleared and re-installed.

EDIT:

This is probably in the wrong thread. I'm running HoneyVillain 1.2 w/ 3.4 Kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
Think you could update your github link? It's 404ing for me.

Edit: Got it. https://github.com/richardtrip/Iconia_a500_3.2
[Acer Iconia A500] shin lucifer:
I think you have to do the "ro.carrier=wifi-only" to /system/build.prop Been a while for me, but i think thats what i did after i updated to 3.2 root stock when i got sim check message. Also i got Thor's 3.7 kernel, not stock kernel. So one of the thing did fix the issue, not sure which one because i did both step same time.
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Hm, T19 +lp2 fixes it for me.

My kernel doesn't have the SIM hot-plug detection check in kernel either.
[Acer Iconia A500] SpiritCrusher:
Hallo there,

im having a problem with latest kernel. Im using Taboonay 2.2 and as soon as i plug my xbox 360 wireless dongle my tablet just restarts and bootloops. With the default kernel of Taboonay (3.4 i think ) is working perfecly.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] Achristocat:
Going back to richardtrip's 3.4 kernel

Love Taboonay 2.2 - seems to be decent overall.

Going to go back to Rtrip's 3.4 kernel. Too many issues with Rtrip's 3.7 kernel and Thor's 3.9 kernel. Both seem to be VERY power hungry and I cannot get a full day out of either. I used to be able to get almost 2 full days of life from Rtrip's 3.4 and the performance boost that I'm getting from the other two, while smooth, fast, and impressive is just not worth the tradeoff in operational lifespan...

All were OC'd to 1.4...

Do not take me wrong, I'm loving all the work and effort but will be using more for longer on the old kernel...
[Acer Iconia A500] dave-:
This kernel solved my problem. I'd tried a number of previous kernels and ROMs and had issues with screen wakeup, high battery usage etc but nothing I tried would solve it.

Thanks morfic
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Which rom are you on?
[Acer Iconia A500] johnteh15:
Hi may i know what does lp2 do? it seems to have solved my SOD problem for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
LP0, LP1 and LP2 are low power states of the tegra2 SoC, trying to get you a link to explain this i actually found a link better than anything else i had looked at before.

And i need to take more time testing LP1 as a result.

LP0 is the deeped low power mode, but if not used properly, will be hard to wake up from.

LP2 is the low power mode used on my G2x and i never had issues with the phone, this is why i used LP2 here.

LP1 on the other hand is a low power mode deeper than LP2 but not near as tricky as LP0, more HERE

Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] dave-:
Taboonay 2.2 with its kernel, then 3.7 from this thread and now yours. Not charging the device every 24hrs now or having the SoD issue requiring me to hold the power button to reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] comnam90:
Is there a copy of stock kernel somewhere? incase i want to flash back later
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Just reflash your current ROM, best way to do it.
[Acer Iconia A500] comnam90:
ok so i've used adb and the dd command to backup everything

do you think i could use the dd command to flash the kernel (boot.img) manually? as i dont currently have a cwm recovery...
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
How did you flash a custom kernel without Clockworkmod?
[Acer Iconia A500] comnam90:
I'm using a stock kernel...just rooted...

Did it from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18503406
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
If you did that you have Clockworkmod recovery installed, making it so you can reflash your ROM, or make a Nandroid backup to restore later. If you don't than install Clockworkmod, you have to use CWM to flash this kernel anyways....
[Acer Iconia A500] comnam90:
No because the original recovery flashes overtop of cwm when it's finished, to retain as close to stock as possible...

And if you look at the cwm script in the zip for this kernel it shows it just extracting the boot.img to one of the /Dev/blocks so I was thinking I could manually do the same thru adb with the dd command
[Acer Iconia A500] Diomorgan:
with this Kernel my wi-fi problems on Taboonay 2.2 are gone, but now my A501 it takes FIVE minutes to boot! X-§
[Acer Iconia A500] johnteh15:
Hi Morfic, do you know how to latch the lp2 changes permanently? Everytime i reboot it is reset back to lp0
[Acer Iconia A500] kiwi_mat:
go into /etc/init.d and delete 09data

its a pig of a script to run at startup when you have a decent number of applications, it searching the /data for database files and doing a datbase cleanup on them, its really not necessary..

was added in taboonay 2.2 I think.. took my tablet with 100+ apps 5 minutes to boot too..
[Acer Iconia A500] nscxp2005:
Hello to all,

Does anybody know how to get the new version of USB Watcher with OTG support to install on HoneyVillian with this kernel?

Thank you for your time.

All the best,

NSCXP2005
[Acer Iconia A500] xd4d3v:
Just installed this kernel for the first time and setcpu to control the OC

I've Oced to 1.5Ghz, what your experience with this speed? is it stable?

Also, do we need to modify any of the voltages or are the default ones ok?
[Acer Iconia A500] DocMarc73:
Did you wipe dalvik and cache partition? It's always a good idea to do that when you run into problems after kernel flashes.
[Acer Iconia A500] xd4d3v:
shouldn't need to for a kernel install IMO
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
woow, just get 3369 score @ 1.2G using my kernel, many thanks for OP's & roggin github :)
[Acer Iconia A500] richichen:
And music off too after screen off!
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCapePS:
Allready found it, but thanks.

My Problems with this kernel:

- terrible writing here in the Forum, it is damn slow. Changed back to stock kernel, an it was fine again. (Tried to flash the kernel two times now, but still the same.)

- mobile data stand by is back

- my cpu frequenzy seems to stuck. It doesn't matter which app i use to check, it allways says 216000 (my minimum setting)

- turning the display mode lasts about 3-4 seconds, and the widgets are loading damn slow.

- playing music and usb connection stops, when the display goes dark

I flashed the kernel over a german stock rom with .38 running. Like I said allready tried it two times, same result.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
That's nice and all but at what price?

There is too many problem showing up.
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
What problems? So far the kernel works so great except the cell standby re-appear. So, deleting the phone.apk does resolve the problem and everything works fine. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Well then you're lucky because if you take a bit of time and read all the post you'll see how many problems there are with this Kernel, so far you seem to be the ONLY one that doesnt have ANY problems with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCapePS:
There are still some more problems ;-)

I posted them some posts earlier.

BUT: I solved my main Problem, the performance problem after using setCPU. Someone told me to set the Scaling settings from 'interactive' to 'ondemand' and that helped alot.

The biggest Problem now is, that the music stopps when the screen turns dark, same for USB data transfer from/to PC.
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
I have read all the post in this thread and many problems? I do not see. It seems that ONLY you get random FC or something like that. Slow boot? I feel boot up time is normal, no special delay in here. And if you really have read all the post in this thread, I think you MUST know that I am saying 'my kernel', but not the OP's kernel.

So, please would you take a bit of time and read all the post and you are so lucky to be the only person that gets SO MANY problems using the OP's kernel.

I very much appreciate the work of OP. And if you think it doesn't fit you, then, ignore it and use back the stock kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
Are you using lock pattern to protect your device? It is very normal for USB data transfer to stop after screen turns black because it requires you to input correct password / pattern and unlock the device in order for the USB to work again. It is normal.

Which app you are using for music? I am using the stock 'Music' app and music does not stop after screen off. :eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] franksames:
I use this Kernel now for 1 Day and did not have any problem yet.

It's quite fast and smooth.

People who have problem, should also mention the Rom they use, so maybe some problem are related to the rom and not the kernel.;)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
The title says it's a kernel for the stock ROM, which I use. I'm glad this kernel is working great for you. I did a "full wipe and format" installed 3.1 stock ROM, and this kernel. There are many less buggier kernels out there. Much thanks to the OP for his work! ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCapePS:
No, I don't use lock patern or something like that. It is a pain in the ass, to watch the display don't going off, if you are copying a 800mb video file to your device.

To the musik problem: Fixed! I don't know how, but it is working now.

@franksames: I allready mentioned my Rom ;-)

@ardadat: Don't get me wrong, i really appriciate the work of the OP, but what would it help, if you don't talk about your bugs/problems? There at least 3-4 people who mentioned problems, not only one.

Do you use setCPU? What are your settings? Just want to know, cause i had big performance problems with setCPU. Maybe some guys have the same problem, just because of wrong settings...
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
Copying 800mb video cost me only few minutes... not so pain.

SetCPU is the most basic thing to install after rooted :) My setting is max: 1200000, min: 312000. Very smooth ~
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCapePS:
And the scaling option?

31200 so you increased the minimum? Hmm I have to try that
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
interactive

Yes, I increase the minimum. Feel good for few days.
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCapePS:
And that is the problem. I had massive performance problems with scaling on interakttive, I don't know why, but the typing here on the board was terrible slow, and turning the display lasted so damn long... Lags over Lags... Now I changed to ondemand, and everything is fine...
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
obviously on demand is better then interactive.

otherwise no bugs.
[Acer Iconia A500] DocMarc73:
It's not absolutely necessary. But,as I said, if you run into problems it might help.

BTW: the first boot after dalvik wipe takes very long....
[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
a kernel is the one thing that it is necessary for. most kernels just include it in the update zip though so it gets done automatically when you flash
[Acer Iconia A500] morfic:
Most kernels don't, to avoid the "this kernel boots too slow, uninstalled/flashed something else".

I include it if problems are rampant and i want to force it, which happens rarely.

a fully wiped dalvik cache isn't necessarily a bad idea, but the long boot times on every kernel install will go on your nerves quick. :)
