I dont see anything wrong with posting this here for now. everyone should know whats going on. form the poking around ive done. wds has been off xda for a little over a month. and has been off irc (both public and private channel) for a while too. he hasnt updated the our private sources in about 3 monthis (i think) and has kept the latest trees to himself. (as far as i know).

I can try my best to help but I cannot support something I do not have sources for as I cant correct any issues that come up. randomblames builds are based on the last avalible trees we have access too (i think, correct me rb if you see this).

Interestingly enought, im back at the moment because upper cm people are contacting me trying to figure out whats going on just as you guys are. im going to try my best to work things out with the status of cm9 and I need to talk to randomblame more to see what we shoud do about cm 10.

in the mean time im waiting to see if wds pops online. ill keep you guys posted. until then randomblames rom will most likely be the best supported rom at the momet.

Wifi doesn't work

Hello everybody,

sorry for my bad english !!!!

I have installed the latest release of CM10 on my a200. Everything works fine but wifi doesn't find any network. It scan for a long time but it shows me no network ( I have 2 different networks). Factory reset , wipe cache ...... , clean install. No wifi. reinstall. No wifi. WPS doesn't work too.

Any idea???
[Acer Iconia A500] Skrilax_CZ:
Yeah, wds needs to be a fork stabbed into his butt to push into the repos :p

But OK, if he's gone, then we could continue on our own, can't we? I also use my own sources for personal CM10 build (forked from A700) here: https://github.com/SkrilaxCZ/android_device_acer_a500/commits/jellybean

They're not perfect, but well, enough for me (now). I also use ezterry's kernel and some tiny patch is needed in kernel makefile (posted earlier in the thread).
[Acer Iconia A500] mixednuts:
Awesome that you're running off builds from your tweaked sources, but I'm guessing for non-devs learning to build from source is a big step.

Some of civato's RE-FLEXxx cook is based on Acer's A700 JellyB ROM, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
Im currently building off of the last tree i have access too. its not public but im testing things out as i have the time. i built it last night and hopefully ill be able to test things today or tomorrow. I just want to see what Im left with compared to what WDS's last build was. Im hoping to have time late on Saturday or Sunday to talk to rb and some others about a battle plan.

feel free to join up on #iconia-dev on freenode at some point. I should be on sometimes in the next 2 days with a little time to work.

Is this a good starting point for the A210?

Hello all,

I have an Acer Iconia A210 (picasso_e2). Currently there seems to be no CM port for this hardware, so I'm tentatively giving this a try.

Since the picasso_e2 is the successor of the picasso_e, I think that I could use this CM-port as a starting point. Is this sensible or should I look at a Tegra3 device instead (Nexus 7 comes to mind)?

If this is a good starting point, I'd like to know where the current device tree for your port lives. I found the trees under https://github.com/gh123man/device_acer_picasso, but these haven't seen commits for a number of months now.

I would be grateful for any other hints, tricks and tips!

Regards

jpo

OK, first problem so far, got done eating supper, went to unlock the tablet. As I started to unlock, the tablet went blank and got the boot animation and tablet rebooted. Tablet was still on the lock screen when the screen went blank. I only had slid my finger about 1/2 way unlockng it when it happened.

I got a dmesg file, I will upload in just a few. Not sure if I got it in time or not.

Will upload in just a few, on xda app and can not attach, switching to web version.

Edit: OK dmesg.text attached, if no good info there, I will try to catch it if it happens again. I was trying to remember what I had to do to capture it.

@ All, to get hdmi audio working, a quick edit to /etc/audio_policy.conf should fix it.

I had just stuck to a basic configuration for the initial device bringup & never got around to updating it...

have attached an updated version... remove the .txt extension!

Will be fixed in next build.
[Acer Iconia A500] waydownsouth:
Sounds like an Android crash rather than kernel.

Check in /data/tombstones, there should be some stacktrace dumps there.

A few random reboots will be expected from time to time...
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Not worried about random reboots right now. I'm loving this so far. Seems so much more responsive then HC or ICS ever were.

[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Yeah, watching flash in browsers, the browsers will just shut down. I know, I know, flash is not supported in jellybean, oh well.

That should not have caused the reboot from the lock screen should it? If so, oh well. :) , I can live with it. Only happened once.

[Acer Iconia A500] waydownsouth:
The last stacktrace was from pulse reader, possibly refreshing when you woke the device up? Appeared to be calling flash in the process... dunno if its related, I've only had a cursory glance over them...

Beautiful ROM so far. Very very fluid, even without OC. I have found 2 bugs:

1) FaceLock doesn't want to be set up

2) The 'storage' section in settings crashes the settings app

I have a logcat!! :)

Turns out tapatalk doesn't do text uploads. One minute I'll edit this post on the PC

EDIT: It is attached :)

Have the same problem with face unlock, but I don't have any problem with "storage" that works fine here.

[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Hmm bizarre well the logcat is attached anyway. Probably something useful there.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Also another bug (or rather something that hasn't been implemented yet) - the volume buttons don't swap round for certain rotations (is for when the rocker is on the top-right and bottom-right)

Not a major thing but still an issue nonetheless that I thought I'd report

Also to those with issues with Play Music due to the GL issue, I've had no issues with RealPlayer (both music and video).
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
OK, had a chance to try some stuff, found out if I was in pulse reader and had a flash video playing in an article i was reading and let the tablet sleep or pressed the power button to put it to sleep, and then pressed the power button to wake it up it would reboot. So it is just a problem with flash. Since flash is not supported on jellybean its not really a problem.

Thanks waydownsouth for looking at the logs. Sorry to have bothered you. Can't wait for future updates. Thanks for all your hard work.

Wavy Greys

Wow, very zippy, nice job!

Bug report: When displaying certain shades of grey (most visible at about 30% brightness) the screen has a wavering effect. This was present in the stock ICS roms such as flexreaper but not in CM-based roms such as Thor's.

I'm not an expert in this, but I did as much digging as I was capable of earlier when it affected Flexreaper and came up with this post:

------

After a bit of looking, here's a similar problem in Linux and how it was fixed:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=148273

Essentially it involved changing the temporal dithering settings to the following: Option "RegistryDwords" "DitherAlgo8=3; DitherAlgo6=3"

Now I know that tegra 2 cards are probably going to be a bit different from a laptop GPU, but they're both Nvidia and I have a suspicion that the temporal dithering settings are the problem in both. It's at least worth a look!

If you want a really clear example, set the brightness to about 25%, and then fire up the Amazon Kindle app[ and look at the splash screen]. The grey surround will wave and pulse. Once you see it there you end up seeing it everywhere else too, just less dramatically depending on the colour/brightness/etc.
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Quick heads up - GMail is now working in the new 2012-07-26 gapps package! However, Google Drive is still giving sync issues.

To update, do a full format on /system and /cache, install CM10 and then the new gapps package :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
It's always worked for me with that package. If I ever have any problems (which I did once) just kill the app with System Panel Pro and restart it.
[Acer Iconia A500] waydownsouth:
Not overly concerned about facelock at this point... gapps problem

that storage f/c, I haven't seen that since the early days... noted.

seems to be an isolated incident... let me know if it's still apparent for you in the next build

one of those features that haven't yet been ported? (did it behave like that in cm9? I honestly can't remember)

ok, thanks for the heads up & tips on how to re-create, will have a look into it... tbh I've never noticed it...

Rotation code is ported and working.

attempting to submit to gerrit as i type this, but my repo sync is froze, may need to wait until tomorrow, but. Soon it will be merged! again!
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Okay sure. The crash dump seemed to reference libfacelock_jni although it is included so it's just crashing for some reason. Very strange. I haven't done anything different to get the storage error but I'll keep you posted

Good point. I'm not sure tbh. I know it worked on mystery man's CM9-based ROM but perhaps he wrote his own code for that?

We have to thank you for such a great initial port of Jelly Bean! It was FAST and works (for the most part) pretty decently considering it's such an early build. It has its issues but hopefully with great devs and useful bug reports with logcats galore we'll have something the nexus can envy ;)

I did indeed I'll fix that in a sec

Woo! Sounds great! Nice work :)
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Also on a separate note, what would be the necessary procedure for getting nightlies going of this? I can happily set it up on my VPS (it's OpenVZ so it has its equal share of 2 hexacore xeons foor a make -j16 maybe 32 :P) then upload them to some sort of file host each night (or if there is an android hosting service that works over FTP I can automate that). Setting Jenkins up shouldn't be too much of an issue. Opinions on this? I assume I'd set it up by checking all the code out via repo and doing an initial build then future updates would just sync the repo again then re-make and zip/upload right? I'm getting into CyanogenMod compiling at the moment (source is taking ages to download on my puny home connection but my server has 100mbit down so that should help!).

My questions really are:

1) @waydownsouth would you want this?

2) @all: would it be useful?

3) @waydownsouth how does your source tree work in terms of pulling the code, syncing, compiling then syncing at a later date without having to pull the entire multi-gigabyte tree again?

4) If we went ahead with nightlies, where would you all want the files stored? I can't use my server for hosting the final builds due to a bandwidth cap each month but I've calculated that I have more then enough to put the files elsewhere

5) How does ¬3:45am BST for the cron sound? hehe
[Acer Iconia A500] Matthileo:
Wouldn't it make more sense to get this merged with CM10 official, so that when the start building nightlies we can just grap them from their system. If I'm not mistaken that was the goal with the CM9 port and it just never happened. I for one would love to see this become an official CM10 rom.

>.> somethings up with my repo sync. maybe my new internet or something, cant run it multi-thread for some reason - always crashes. anyways. rotation patch submitted, now we play the waiting game
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
I heard about that which is why I thought we should just set ourselves something up that's external for this project. We can't delay progress because we have to wait for CyanogenMod considering this isn't even considered an official build yet. Perhaps waydownsouth should call the shots here. Ideally we get integrated with CM10 official and use their CI.

Sounds fantastic :D great work :)
[Acer Iconia A500] waydownsouth:
Thanks for the offer.

This all sounds really good & will keep it in mind...

Will see what happens over the next few days. ;)

Absolutely, this is still the end goal.

The problem thus far is the fact that there's only one of me...

You only need to look through the commit history on github to see where the contributions to the project have been coming from.

Between my managerial real life job, trying to get the house fixed after the earthquakes, trying to maintain some semblance of a life & then, this project, well, I get stretched pretty thin.

This thread has actually been quite refreshing, the signal to noise ratio has been great & I've had more real debug info in the last week than for the entire time the cm9 thread has been running... go figure.

So am sorry if things haven't happened as quickly as you all would like, but, there are ways around this... get involved...

If you understand the android build system, have some sort of developmental tendencies & want to help out in solving bugs... drop by irc: freenode #iconia-dev & we can discuss... (I'm usually always logged in from somewhere, the others come & go)

Cheers

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

Sure just let me know if you want to set something up and I can hop onto IRC so we can sort something out. I for one would be interested in nightlies. The only issue I can really see is that you'd have to upload the code twice - once to gerrit and once to the code server - if you want to patches integrated immediately. It'd have to be downstream from CyanogenMod whilst also upstream from developers. That could be fun :P We'd have to discuss that in a few days when we review what code is available and if the project is made official.

Helping out sounds fun. Would help brush up on my java / C. I'll drop in if I get some time later on. I'm more of a Microsoft programmer but I've dipped my toes into java and C. Kernel stuff looks fun :P

We need as many devs as possible though. A quick guide on getting the code would be great. I checked out the whole CM10 tree yesterday (all 6GB of it :P) so I'm sure if any others have done the same it would be useful to know how we tweak that code for iconia support (do you just check out the github iconia-dev code into device/ and vendor/ as appropriate in the kernel folder??)

---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

Most probably not. I'm not sure if wds included the A200 kernel code but the whole of Android is geared towards the A500. You could always give it a go though, assuming you have a way to get back? :P

Have had the ROM lock up a couple time where the only thing I could do is press and hold the power button and then press the power button to reboot.

What logs do you want for this type of problem?

Also still getting the reboot on waking up the tablet once in a while. Thought is was related to flash, but has done it with out me using flash at all.

Want to get logs to you just not sure which ones you need.
