Another thing i'd like to point out is bootup I mean general bootup startup of the machine is much slower.

This was not discussed much in the beginnng of the 3.1 release when it come to improvements and stuff but booptup actually got faster when 4.010xx.

I could say that almost 40% faster bootup.

And now this kernel boots really slow just like in the 'ancient' days when booting took along time but we were used to it.

I wonder what kind of kernel he is using and tweaks because it weird that these 2 major improvements are kind of outdated.

Please SIR! We love your kernel but please keep it up with all the latest kernel improvement!

Cheers!
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Latest kernel cpu stuck @ 1Ghz. Refuses to run lower or higher set with CPU master. Time to dump it. :(
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Reverted to stock kernel, starting causing total system ice age and problems.

Im sure a better kernel will appear soon enough :)
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Oc is fine with setcpu.
[Acer Iconia A500] ESCapePS:
Whatever you changed in 1.2 it didn't help for me. Still the same Problem with the disconecting USB connection, when the screen goes black...

And I also recognized the slow boot. I woul go back to Stock kernel, but I didn't make a backup...^^
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Did you time the boot? How many seconds with stock kernel?

timed 4 times now (about 40 seconds boot ACER logo included, from android logo 30 seconds)
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
Look in page 2 or 3 of this thread some guy uploaded the original kernel you download it and flash it.

Installed 3.3 and tablet seems smoother running but lost video after i applied the netflix asus patch. Although i am not sure if the patch did it or kernal since i didn't remember to test before patch. But i re-flashed 3.2 and everything is working now. Anyone else have this issue? or can anyone confirm taboonay 2.0 and new 3.3 kernal works with netflix?

i installed 3.3 on a clean install of taboonay 2.0

im very new to all this but am curious how this works. I want to flash a new rom over my virtuous picasso 1.1.0. so do i flash the rom i want now and then just reflash the kernel like i did the rom or is there something else that has to be done.

so wipe/flash rom zip from sd card/reboot/reboot into recovery/flash kernel zip from sd card/reboot....play?
[Acer Iconia A500] hightech316:

After u flash rom in recovery, flash ur kernel of choeice afterwards. Verify by going to settings > about tab > kernel version.

[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
cfbench results @ 1504Mhz much improved

I'm so not in the right frame of mind for posting in here right now, but was anyone else getting very very very pisspoor gps reception on v3.2 of this kernal? its there a needed radio update?? im updating to v3.4 now to see if itll fix it.
[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:

Hello and thanks for this kernel works flawlessly!

Just a question on UV controls, I tried SetCPU, but this app looks crap!? It keeps crashing on me and never recognized the tablet!

Any other solutions? Any link to a page to manual editing? I tried, but the UV files never seems to be updated!?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
You can try the app Voltage Control but ive never heard of such troubles on a rooted device. SetCPU has always worked great, unless you arent properly rooted first.
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
Hi RichardTrip...

I'm still on v2.3 ( seen no need to update...yet...etc )

would like to try the v3.4 ...

saw that since v3.3 this kernel has been "Complete rebase to official acer A501 3.2 kernel (a501 should work now)"

does that mean for us A500.. we have to

add ro.carrier=wifi-only to /system/build.prop manually

in order to get rid of the cellstandby process ??

did you removed that from v3.2 ?

Thanks... :)
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
You have to add ro.carrier=wifi-only

On 3.2 it was left out by accident, in 3.3 and 3.4 you can use it again if your rom supports it. You need an HC 3.2 rom btw for anything newer then the 3.0 kernel
[Acer Iconia A500] 3c:
Oh, I'm rooted alright... I develop and use System Tuner on the tablet, and I wanted to include voltage controls, and started trying setCPU to check how it achieves this... The app never worked, not even for frequencies!?

Was looking on how to tune each frequencies, but after searching the thread found the echo commands I needed!
[Acer Iconia A500] lighthammerhh:
Hi all.

I have a weird market behavior since kernel 3.3.

First of all, the market only works in landscape mode. But i can't really remember if sometimes had worked in portrait mode. Did it? If i flip the tablet nothing happens in the market app. All other apps i have tested so far, are working.

Second problem is, that every time i update an app via the market, the screen flips from landscape to portrait view and back again. Didn't noticed that before 3.3.

With the new 3.4 kernel, i got the same thing.

Deleted cache and data from market app, but no luck...

Any ideas? ROM is GV 1.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] 3c:
First, HC Market works only in landscape... So if you're in portrait market will switch to landscape, and if an app displays anything it will switch back to portrait and back to landscape going back to market.
[Acer Iconia A500] lighthammerhh:
Didn't know that, thank you.

- the market is in the app update list

- tablet in landscape position

- every update i now start, flips the screen to portrait and back again. And i mean every update. There have been no exceptions, so far. Even if i start an update batch from e. g. four apps, the screen will flip four times, every time an update finishes.

This is a behavior, i would have noticed before, as i am updating some apps almost every day.

3G with V2.5

Hi,

System Tuner to overclock/undervolt your CPU!

Just to let you know that System Tuner has been updated and support overclocking/undervolting your CPU with this great kernel!

You can add a shortcut on your home screen for easy access, either CPU tweaks or Voltage table! (best with cpu tweaks to access boot settings easily, more updates on UI soon).

Any feedback can be sent on the following locations:

XDA Thread

App web site

Search 'System Tuner' on Market or go on XDA thread above for QR Codes.

Richard,

It seems like maybe this isn't really working on my 500. While it doesn't display 3G (or whatever, can't think of what it was) when I go to the battery use page that entry seems to have just been replaced with "tablet idle" and my tablet never truly sleeps.

Prior to this kernel I could easily go 48 hours without charging. With 3.3 I can't even make 24.

The only change to the defaults I've made is to change to conservative in setcpu but that was after seeing this behavior.

Good Stuff Richard! Thanks...

Just flashed to the new kernel. I was having issues before with a couple of games - NFS, and a silly solitaire game. Both fixed! Youtube is back and Netflix seems a bit clearer too...

Also, battery life seems to be substantially better (even OC'd to 1.5. I've been using the tablet sporadically - some email, a bit of web, some solitaire (!) for...Almost 1.5 days now and still have more than half battery meter left.

a little later today I'm gonna pop over and donate to the cause. Thank you for making my A500 better than stock. It's MUCH better!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Mr. Turbofan:
I have seen this over and over again... but I dont know how to do it! Is there a step by step somewhere to help me get rid of the cell standby thing? Does anyone know where I can get a kernel that doesnt require this but that will allow me to overclock?I'm surprised this is incorporated into all the kernels I've found so far :-\

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Acer Iconia A500] haksam:
i did a quick google and it really isn't that hard nor risky, if you have managed to root and install a custom ROM, the hardest tasks have been done.

build.prop is located under the /system/ directory.

install es explorer and go to its settings to enable root explorer and also choose to have it rewritable (check both boxes)

then on top of es, tap on the icon of an SD card, you will see the entire internal file structure of your OS, you will definitely see System folder here, tap into it and you will see build.prop. Tap on that and it will ask you to select a text editor, the best is using the default ES Note Editor.

you will see many ro.xxxx commands, just add in anywhere a new line for ro.carrier=wifi-only

and when you press back it will ask you to save. After that just view build.prop again to make sure it has been saved. Do a reboot and its done, there's nothing to crack your head about here, no need for IQ level of 999 to do it :D

There is an issue with your kernel that thor had at one point, but fixed in version 3.1 of his kernel.

N64oid will drop the CPU speed to 456mhz, and thus causing lag in games, obviously. Can you fix this pretty please?

[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
Hi Richard - have you thought about seeing if you can integrate this at all?

https://github.com/project-voodoo

It's produced for the Galaxy Tab here https://github.com/project-voodoo/samsung-kernel-galaxytab101 and AFAIK it's the same Wolfson chip as in the A500
[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
I was just about to post about this. Our tablets have the wolfson hardware too and this really turns your device into a serious music playback device. I even purchased the paid version of supercurios app because its a standard item in most custom kernels on the samsung galaxys line of phones like my fascinate and then charge.

Please please add voodoo sound driver support.
[Acer Iconia A500] richardtrip:
Just ask SuperCurio (he did it for the transformer already). btw we don't have the same chip as the galaxy tab 10.1 has. wm8903 has less functions.

3G USB stick feedback

Hi Richard,

here's some feedback on further testing I have been doing with my E170 Huawei stick running HoneyVillain 1.1 and the kernels. Having started with V3.4 and moving down to V3.3, V3.2 ... I could get the stick to work only with V3.1 of the kernel. Disable Wifi and restart with the stick inserted.

Possible to check what changed in V3.2 an upwards?

thanks and fijn weekend!

Hi,

first thanks for your work this kernel is very stable :)

I was wondering if it is possible (or will be possible in the future) to activate "usb mass storage" instead of "MTP" when connecting the tab to computer with honeycomb?

This MTP mode is real crap.

Thanks in advance :)
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
you cant use usb mass storage in windows only linux since you cant mount ext4 partition...

MTP makes that possible on windows... that's why its used...

then, is it not possible to use FAT like before for sdcard and internal memory?
[Acer Iconia A500] willyampz:

I have version 3.0 of this honeyvillain kernel. Is it ok to just flash the latest version over that, or do I have to do a full data wipe from CWM.

just wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.

just reverted to HV 1.05a with Kernel 2.5

Reasons:

- screens and apps scrolling smoother than HV 1.2

- no exchange issues

- no root permissions issues

- no battery drain issues (in testing)

- HDMI works!! (with HV 1.2 & Kernel 3.4 was not working--- only with Thor's new kernel was working - and i think it was working better with Thor's kernel than now)

(could be that my monitor works only with 1980&1080 and upscaling??? modules/procedures are missing in Richard's kernel 3.4?? - it is only guessing)

- SD Card insterted icon gone (i didn't like it)

What is worst than in HV 1.2

- Sygic Aura FC sometimes (was ok with HV 1.2)

- USB Insterted icon gone

- windows animations (not scrolling) are not so smooth as in HV 1.2
[Acer Iconia A500] zimphishmonger:
Same Here

@richardtrip,

In future versions of your kernel, would you consider changing the sampling rate to something more reasonable, like 30khz instead of the 200khz its currently set to? Also had the above issue: all audio goes to the speaker even if headphones are plugged in. Would love it if those two issues could be addressed.

Thanks! :) Also hope for the fix regarding HDMI out, but seems thats well-known already

No music thru the speaker when the buds are plugged in. I rebooted several times with the buds plugged in and everything works as it should. Same with my ANR headset.
