I found a bug on your kernel (well not only your kernel).

N.O.V.A. 2 doesn't work and crashes after intro screen. I can confirm that it's the kernel because I made a backup and it works fine while I'm using the stock kernel but it crashes as soon as I use your or Thors kernel.

I actually installed a stock rom and thested if it runs on stoc and then flashed both kernel. I deleted the cache on first ocasion and skipped that step on the second one. Both resulted in a crash right after intro.

I don't know if you can figure out what's causing it but I just checked in to let you know.

Shame though because I really like this kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Using this now. Seems very smooth. Keep up the great work, and thanks for not violating gpl.

Thumbs up.
[Acer Iconia A500] lowdaksport:
In the past couple days I flashed 1.3 then 1.8 and now 2.0 After the original flash I am having trouble where I lock the device but the screen turns on and off without me touching it. Anyone else have this? I didn't get anything in a search.
[Acer Iconia A500] azazz:
I'm now on Virtuous Thrive v. 1.0.1=- [Honeycomb 3.1]

How can I flash this kernel([KERNEL] Stock/HoneyVillain V2.0 24-05 - 1.5Ghz/UV control/Disable Mobile Data)?
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
Is it happened while charging or run on battery?
[Acer Iconia A500] lowdaksport:
It happens when on battery or charging. Every once and a while it does not happen. I am on stock rom also. Its just odd. I will hit the power button to lock and then it sits for maybe 15 or 20 seconds then the screen comes on to the lock screen and it sits until that times out and goes black. Then it just keeps going through the loop of that over and over. First I thought it was due to a notification still being active but now I have eliminated that as a possibility. It even happens after I power off the device, boot it up and just lock it. SO no applications are running that I am aware of except set cpu which is configured as set at boot.
[Acer Iconia A500] HIcycles:
I've noticed this behavior occasionally on Honeyvillan also. I'll lock the screen, it'll go off, go on for a few seconds, and then shut off again. It only does it once, though, if it does do it.

FWIW, on the stock ROM, I noticed this behavior constantly, to the point where it drained my battery.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
I can confirm had the same thing before....unfortunately don't remember with which versions of the ROM and KERNEL. When the device was restarted it fixed itself for some reason until the next time I used the device. I thought it was one of my programs waking it up but not the ROM. Now I don't have that issue anymore: honeyVillain 1.5a + Kernel 2.0
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
I may be incorrect on this, but I'm reasonably sure that you shouldn't do that and it won't work if you do.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i would first suggest you flash a stock rom 4.10.38 or 4.10.40

then you root, and flash cwm

then you flash this kernel.

use setCPU to for O/C if you want.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i don't have this problem using stock 4.10.40.

but this might be due to several reasons.

first of all i have mine encrypted to be able to use exchange activesync connection

this implies that i have to type in my pin code when i wake it up.

i had this problem with version 3.01, but since 4.10.22 i have not had this problem anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] lowdaksport:
Well I may just flash a new rom then. It may have been doing it on stock kernel also I only had it for a day before rooting and overclocking so it is possible it just didn't happen in the small time period that I had it all stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] tgtoys:
Undervolting for battery save

Hey all,

What's the lowest/best/safest voltage I can set when overclocked to 1500 in regards to speed with minimal additional impact on battery? Any suggestions?

Running newest Hypervillan and kernel as of today.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] dmatusek76:
i'm using latest v2 and my usb get disconnecting when screenoff.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i just figured that i have the same problem, and only since 2.0. i have not had this problem with 1.8 or 1.9..

i am using stock 4.10.40

something must have changed with the UV tables.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I asked Richard the same thing and he said to try first with -50mv on all but the lowest, lowest being 760/770MHz

Cheers!
[Acer Iconia A500] anstelios:
This.

Can this issue be addresed Richard??
[Acer Iconia A500] chirameto:
May I request for UVC (usb video class) driver support in the kernel?

I would be great to be able to connect external usb cammera to A500 and lots of camera use general UVC driver.

Thanks,
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
What is your USB device? I have no problem for USB handy drive.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
I think he means USB connection with his PC. As long as screen lights off the usb connection with the PC drops. To reestablish it you need to press again the power button. That has been a reported problem with previous kernel versions. Strange I don't have it with 2.0 as many of you report it again. If you look at Richard's changelog you'll see that this issue should have been fixed since 1.2-1.3:

What I did was a clean install of ROM 1.05a and before flashing the new kernel wiped cache partition (not data!) and dalvik cache. :cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
I have a question, how do remove USB storage safely? There is no icon on the status bar while USB storage is plugging in.

Can everyone go to setcpu under info and look at the processor bogomips, me and my bf have this tablet and the second core on every kernel ive tried goes from ~999 to ~212 and wont go back up, is there any way to fix this?
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
You can use Drive mount and coose "unmount"

https://market.android.com/details?id=au.dach.drivemount&feature=search_result
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
Just test, I don't have this problem either. My base ROM version is 4.010.40.

Disable Mobile Data

Hallo at all,

Special thanks at Richard Trip for this great, fast and Stable Kernel & ROM.

Any Question, the Option:

* You can disable mobile data in /system/build.prop (uncomment ro.carrier=wifi-only)

works only for HoneyVillain or on Stock Rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] mrvanes:
I can confirm the difference for CPU0 and CPU1. But it could just be the dual core CPU doing what it should do: let 1 sleep while the other works, if that's enough. Wouldn't want the 2nd core to wake if it's not needed when I'm doing nothing!?

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0|1]/cpufreq/* both show healthy content (~available_frequencies/~governor/~max_freq).
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
on stock rom it works also (it isn't in the build.prop but you can put it in yourself without the comment of course)
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
It's not a problem with the kernel. The rom has to support it (there are some problems with taboonay, but don't know exactly what is missing).
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
There is just a minor problem with the bogomips that are reported for the second core (easy fix and nothing to worry about).
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Update

Version 2.1:

Fixed incorrect bogomips on second core

Enabled HFS support

Enabled Magic Trackpad
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
@richardtrip: Did you by any chance check the problem I mentioned before (Gameloft's NOVA 2 crashing)?

Here is logcat output. It seems that there is something in your rom that it doesn't like because it works fine on stock.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Ignore this post, I screwed something up!
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Can you specify USB host?

Flash Drive? HDD?

Edit: USB flash drive works fine over here with the 2.1

If you meant HDD then do you use Drive Mount? Gonna try it later.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Yep, 16GB Flash drive. Just reflashed 2.1 and rebooting now to check logcat.

EDIT: And it's working. Not sure what I did the first time, must just have been one of those things that's fixed with a reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
My flashdrive just worked, and my Xbox 360 controller works as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Yep, not sure what I did the first time but it's working fine now, my apologies!
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
How do you get your xbox controller to work?

Been having trouble with this....:(

Edit: What type of xbox 360 remote u guys using? Wired or wireless with a USB wire connected?

Answer would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
[Acer Iconia A500] matcatsc:
Ok I have been using this rom now for about a week. I tried various combinations of roms and kernels. Sofar this is my favorite with one major exception, it is very sluggish on the interface. When I use thor kernal swiping in apps or home screen is smooth as can be, on this rom it's always a little jagged and jumpy, I really don't understand it.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Wired, it just works.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
wired and wireless work fine...
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Try changing to Interactive or Ondemand with SetCpu or something.

Maybe you'll notice a difference, you have to test your way.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
With wireless you use a dongle for the xbox 360 right?

And with the wired I guess the remote is wired as in cable built in to the remote?

I have 2 remotes xbox 360 with a wire cable that also charges, and a generic gamepad wired. Maybe there is something wrong with my config.

Can you send me a copy of your sys configs perhaps?

Mars face o mare favoare frate because im going CRAZY!
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
/d/usb 'Devices' maybe? Must be a way to configure the file to support more.
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
Not to be misunderstood, I simply meant, my wired controller just works without any additional steps required. Just was being brief.
[Acer Iconia A500] davenull:
Hey guys, I may have missed it inthe thread, but how does one get this kernel to actually disable cell standby? I am using the 2.1 version, but cell standby is still being reported in battery usage. I am leary of deleting/moving the phone.apk, but would love a boost in battery. I am running the stock rom btw. Thanks for the assist.
[Acer Iconia A500] enacu:
Hi, thanks for your work!

Seems CIFS doesn't work here (but specified on the first screen)

This was on version 2.0. (Changelog for 2.1 doesn't say anything about this)
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
Read #2 on paragraph "Version 1.6:" how to disable cell standby.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:

[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Richard is there any way you could mod your kernel to 'see' any USB gamepad?

Isn't it possible to change something in the d folder? Local/d/usb 'devices' file? Can't it be configured?

It says in the file something about Generic Gamepads bla bla but obviously NOT working. I got a newly bought generic USB gamepad that doesn't work but it works on the PC and what not.

And according to Acer support its suppose to work. I dont understand why it doesn't work. Mouse works, USB Flash drive works, everything works! except my damn gamepad. I'll tell ya, at this point I am willing to pay for someone that can mod/fix this.
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
We are in

now... no longer in May ;)

Please update your thread dates ...LOL :p
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Haha wow! I just noticed that. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] matcatsc:
Hey I'm curious what the video driver updates are? (Just updates?), and any idea on if its possible yet to make it so both Netflix and Camcorder can work without FC'ing cam?

Also today me and a co-worker (both using this kernal and HV) got wifi looped 3 times today! Luckily my tab worked after a quick 2 stabs at the reset, but his I had to reset atleast 20 times before it would work. Happened on 2.1, about to flash 2.2
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Hey guess what! Thor added USB drivers to his latest kernel that enables my Generic USB Gamepad to work! How awesome is that? I can play N64oid and Snes now anywhere! Ahhhhh!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] thahandyman:
2.2 running in light speed very quick indeed. Enjoy in ur work so far thx
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
And other kernels could easily too if he released his source!
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
I didn't even take a look at it :-) Should i enable usb gamepad support?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Uh yeah! Please! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
Agree, but what's it anyway? :D

By the way, I found somethin when OC either 1.4 or 1.5GHz then 1.2GHz will never run.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Maybe you are not using the right program.

And to answer your first question, he wants to mod his kernel so that gamepads can work when connected to the USB so for example I can play N64 games and Snes games! SO AWESOME!
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Can I flash this kernel on Lightspeed?
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
I found that by SetCPU/Info/Time in state. 1.2G is not running while OC at 1.4 or 1.5GHz. :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Well I guess that depends on your settings and how your machine is being worked by you.

Have you tried changing interactive,ondemand,performance and so on?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I see what you mean now, the 1200MHz is never used according to statistics in SetCpu. It shows 0.0% while all the other frequencies show a certain percantage of usage, limited to the highest that you have set it to of course, strange... I dunno maybe Richard can look into this? Maybe its nothing...
[Acer Iconia A500] ardatdat:
If you set to min/max = 1200/1200, will it still show 0.0%?

If 0.0%, then it is not related to ondemand/interactive issues (I think :D)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
That I have not tried so I can not answer it, yet ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Bumping this.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Update:

Version 2.3:

register USB accessory driver for gamepad support!

Thanks to Johny0906 for testing!
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
richardtrip.

I don't understand the voltage table...

at 1504Mhz I have 1200mV

is it normal, I see on yours 1325mV...

It's the value right after install, SetCpu and your Kernel...

what the meaning of the voltage, what 1325mV does regarding 1200mV
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
It's just an older screenshot. The voltage is 1250mV for 1504Mhz. if you undervolt 50mV it should be 1200mV (so you probably undervolted it by 50mV).
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
@richardtrip - Will your kernel work with Lightspeed?
[Acer Iconia A500] paisanmi:
I did it, the CPU usage number is running not stuck at 0%.
[Acer Iconia A500] duongla:
In lightspped thread, first post said you can flash thor or richardtrip kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] propjoe:
i just went from v2.2 to 2.3 running stock 4.010.38 com gen 1. i have had good luck so far with both. only real issue is after the screen timeouts and i leave it alone for a while (between 5 or 10 minutes) the tablet just reboots for no reason. this has happend on both kernels. any ideas? i have even gone as far as wiping EVERYTHING before and after i flash and still get the same results. otherwise this kernel is kickin' butt for me. i am killing the galaxy and xoom with my benchmark results. Thanks for all the work you are doing!
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
nope... I didn't undervolt.

I installed your kernel

I installed SetCPU.... and that's it...

is setCPU auto undervolt?

what the advantage to undervolt?

if you can explain more than "that save battery" thanks :D
[Acer Iconia A500] _tachy_:
I see the same happen on my A500. Haven't got time to investigate so far. I am back on 2.1 for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] 12013E12T:
I can confirm propjoe's restarting issue.

Also had 2 SOD's adding to that.

Both problems started occuring since 2.2 or perhaps 2.1 they follow each orther so quik im not sure.

I first had the impression it was becouse of the undervolting i was doing but the problem persisted after restoring the original voltages.

I always do a fresh install/factory reset an clear all cache, no updates.

Also have a problem with the market saying:

Aankoop geannuleerd

Fout bij verwerken van aankoop.

Witch results in not being able to install anything anymore from the market.

This problem can be overcome by reinstalling ROM but keep coming back in a few days.

I think this was since 1.04.

Not that big of a deal cuz apps can be found elswhere, but still.

That all being sayd, this is still the best ROM/kernel combo ever!

Thanks for pimping my a500.
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
I have mine in standby for 3 days and still works fine so its rom related... not kernel related...

I use none of the roms from xda...
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
+1 never had a restart.
[Acer Iconia A500] _tachy_:
Nope. Stock ROM 4.010.42_COM_GEN1 here. Tablet reboots at least once a day with richard's v2.3. Rock solid with v2.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Can you post your /proc/last_kmsg after the sudden reboot?
[Acer Iconia A500] _tachy_:
Will do when it happens again. Flashed v2.3 again and am trying to retrigger it.

BTW: I wonder what magic is being used in Acer's kernel in Ec_battery.c to expose the serial number.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Just had a reboot, my first. was reading xda, answered the phone and looked over and it was rebooting.

Hope the attached helps. I did not grab it right after reboot, had to come back here and see what it was that you wanted. If the attached is no good, I will get it again if I get a reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
No such has EVER happened to with ANY of his kernels.

Im running .42 stock as well btw.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
There is no error in this kernel log that should cause a reboot.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
ok, if it happens again I will try to get the log right after reboot
[Acer Iconia A500] thahandyman:
i never thought I'd use anything but thors kernel.... I was wrong. When lighspeed came out I decided to try completely diff I was Thor/taboonay and I went with this Kern/light speed. Great combo very smooth, no reboots here, no complaints at all actually. Somehow and I'm not sure why YouTube buffers quicker and I don't get random rebuffers in the middle of vids.that's not to say I don't still like Thor and taboonay but u devs sure make it tough to choose.

Overall nice work and ty for gamepad support.
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
I flashed 2.3..but still can't get generic USB gamepad to work..

Chlballi
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
What kind of gamepad you using?
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
retrolink USB snes gamepad
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Im sorry but what you mean by retrolink? Maybe its old, there may not be drivers to support it.

Im using a PS3 copy 'Made in China' generic, works flawlessly.
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
Retrolink is the brand..its an SNES clone.

The pawn shop ps3 controller works fine..but not any of my generic, non-console, ones.

Also, I had the random reboot problem as I was typing this reply..

Chlballi
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
I never had 1 randoom boot, with this kernel and as Thor stated I dont think its kernel related I think its rom related.

Which rom you on?

I am for your info on Stock 4.010.42 with custom Richardtrips kernel.

Q:Your PS3 is genuine or generic USB copy?
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
The PS3 is genuine. I'm running stock rooted, just with the custom kernel. .38 I think..

Is there a .zip someone that I overlooked for upgrade to .42?

Chlballi
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
From Vache's thread:

Acer_A500_4.010.42_EMEA_GEN3 : http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_...1_036d89ae.zip

Acer_A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7 : http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_...3_253e5e46.zip

There you have the .42 full install you can just install it over your .38 thats what I did you dont have to lose stuff. Mine works fine no need to wipe for me.

The second just came out it only has english and german tho, and also nobody has commented on any improvements so far.

Im gonna test it tonight.

Hope it helped, cheers!
[Acer Iconia A500] chlballi:
I'm gonna flash .42 in a bit..shoot me a PM with your findings on the later.

Also, decided to just flash the newest..i'll post any findings I notice..

Thanks,

Chlballi
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Will do the same.

Cheers!
[Acer Iconia A500] lynxznet:
Loving this kernel, tried out the 1.5ghz setting and good lord my tablet flies.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i have no problem with .42 and this kernel 2.3.

don't forget to clean the cache and eventually the dalvik cache, thus you have no problems afterward. cleaning both caches does not remove anything, it just takes a little bit longer to restart.

and it works as well with normal or with encrypted tablets.
[Acer Iconia A500] Mortem Tuam:

Video Camera forces close

I want to start off by saying, this Kernel is awesome. Thank you!!! I am having 1 small problem with the video camera. Ever since I flashed this kernel I cannot use the video camera (rear facing). It just forces close. The still camera functions fine and video camera front facing works fine. Has anyone seen this issue? I am running stock 3.1 (4.010.10). I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Upgrade to 4.010.13 and reflash this kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] btucker2003:
Is there a fancy way to upgrade to 4.010.13? My tablet keeps giving me a honeycomb bee with the hazard symbol over it when I try?
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
To save confusion and possible misguidance just look for a thread called

'How to flash your Acer/tablet.'

There you will have all the info, read carefully and be careful.

If you don't understand something im ok to answer questions for you along the way so just PM me if you need help. It can be confusing.

EDIT:I can tell you quick that first you'll need to root, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138228 (this is the correct link, I posted the wrong link before

Edit: Here is the 4.010.13 build, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17305480/update-4.010.13.zip

And BACKUP YOUR THINGS! Titanium backup is the best its backs up apps only not photos and videos, but if you do a factory restore you will wipe the titanium backup too so move them too when you are doing your manual backup before flashing.

Download Acer Recovery from Market, and open it (you must be rooted) and install ClockWorkMod on it, just highlight and press backup=install.

Choose your Build like 4.010.13 which can be found here somewhere.

extract the 'update.zip' file into your EXTERNAL SD CARD.

Enter Acer Recovery, do a full system wipe (probably not necessary but its up to you) enter recovery by either from the Acer Recovery app OR power of and power on holding POWER button + Volume MINUS button, navigate to the file (with the power and volume buttons) where the zip is and install it.

Hope it helped.

Cheers!
