[Acer Iconia A500] lostinspace2011:
I followed the steps from : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839313 and updated to

Model : A500

Android Version : 3.1

Kernel Version : 2.6.36.3

Build Number : Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1

I also installed "Iconia tab update enhancements" but still not getting any OTA updates.

Any thoughts on what is preventing me from getting the OTA updates ?

thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
I'll reply to this thread m8 rather than the other one....

some reasons for not being able to ota.

the enhancement app is for the ics ota, so won't help from 3.1

if yr tab was GEN1 u won't be able to update using GEN2 and vice versa, this applies to HC only.

Acer don't roll out updates automatically, there appears to be some sort of cycle, that has no sort of rhyme or reason.....go figure!

you must be completely stock and unrooted

you mentioned a bug you were trying to isolate as the reason for returning to stock.

all I can tell you is there was a big difference between the OTA ICS and the pre-rooted

stock ICS roms posted by our much respected dev, civato but of course even those roms

do not compare in the slightest to his custom reFlexxx roms -

also a full wipe and format and rom reflash can work wonders too in keeping u bug-less!

off hand I cannot remember if u need the patched boot loader for his stock roms, I don't think

you do....you can try flashing one of those - as always full instructions are in the OP

as far as OTA'ing - if you've tried a gen1 give a gen2 a go, blackthund3r has a stock rom thread, you may find something suitable in that....whatever u end up doing please keep us posted, its always nice to have some sort of resolution for others reading who may be in a similar situation

Well...I suppose this isn't devvin, but, I learned a little about build.prop modifications from the devs and experience on my Acer Iconia A100. Soooo, I decided to share a few tweaks that have made me notice some difference in performance.

Here is a cut of the lines I added into the build.prop:

============================================================================

# Added by justjackyl#

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m

debug.performance.tuning=1

net.tcp.buffersize.default=4096,87380,256960,4096, 16384,256960

net.tcp.buffersize.edge=4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960

net.tcp.buffersize.gprs=4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960

net.tcp.buffersize.umts=4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960

net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.config.nocheckin=1

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150

=============================================================

This should give a slight boost on overall responsiveness, video performance, slight memory performance to the dalvik VM, and decrease wirelesss canning to save battery, as well as boost wireless performance and throuput, as well as possible power saving across the board (only slight increase, say 5-10% MAX so don't expect huge savings!)

Anyone willing to test with me? These tweaks really pumped life into my Tegra 2 tablet, and seem to being doing the same, while being stable so far, on my G2x.

To use the mod, you just need to use a root access file browser, browse to system, rename the current build.prop to build.prop.bak and copy and paste in the build.prop.mod one. Just make sure whichever one you are using, it is named build.prop with no extensions, so rename build.prop.mod to build.prop, and same to restore your back up original.

Than boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot and good to go.

Your first couple reboot cycles may be slower than normal as dalvik cache is rebuilding.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
Well...the mod itself is in testing, as these mods worked on a Tegra 2 tablet, but may not work so well for this Tegra 2 phone.

As for the kernels...

I started modding in Jan 2012 and faux was the first GB kernel I ever found, and so I kinda became a faux fanboy when going for CM7 ROMs.

I've used Trinity, but not much experience with the ELP series. (cricketAC intro'd me to those)

I've used faux and can't even remember how old.

Both SOD randomly. I was able to control it more with faux.

Both random reboot, not often. I found faux OOM Panic and reboot more often than Trinity, but I don't multi tasks too hard, so I kept it in control, but faux would lag like an SOB sometimes.

Both OC nicely, but I prefer faux over Trinity in this case. Faux offers more steps in between frequencies than the Trinity I used, while both obtained an OC of >=1.5GHz.

The steps in frequencies are important to me as An underclock at 750MHz than next step is 1GHz, with Trinity, or an underclock of I think 654MHz and steps to 816Mhz, 912MHz and 1GHz, as with faux.

With the steps being laid out, I had better battery with faux as it had more room to play with frequency steps than Trinity. If you only can jump from 750 to 1Ghz when 750 wasn't enough, than your using more juice than if you jumped from 654 to 816 to 912 and CPU finds 912 was enough, well you didn't hit 1GHz and saved a little bit more juice.

So faux wins in battery.

But, faux does not like to OC above 1.4MHz IMO as it heats up so fast >1.4GHz it freezes.

Trinity will sustain itself much longer at >=1.5GHz much longer before the overheat freeze.

It is really hard to pick. IMO

Faux

Pros: Battery, OC in smaller steps possible, great performance in gaming environment (just one large single task), less SOD than trinity

Cons: Overheats quicker at OC, seems to panic more in multi task situations, more random reboots than Trinity

Trinity

Pros:Smoother multi taks performance, more stable at higher OC speeds, less random reboots than faux

Cons: Consumes more battery, less tweaking OC steps, more SODs than faux

I think it really comes down to personal use. These are just my experiences for my uses. Results vary.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
Okay, i've to say... that is one of the best explaniations post of the kernels i've readed, so thanks you, i will stay with faux more time according what you say...

Thanks you

Sometimes underclocking it will make more battery drain becouse the process will use all the power for more time, its lije using 700mhz by 10 sec or using 1.4Ghz by 5 sec, what will use more powet? 700mhz @ 900mV or 1.4 @ 1200mv

[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
Logically I see how you can think this, but also consider that a cpu intensive app trying to do something running at 1.4 ghz can complete the task faster then throttle down to the lowest cpu speed and voltage or even idle. While the same task at a lower speed would take a while longer not letting your cpu throttle down or idle. Now imagine this on a wide scale of all the background tasks and apps, it could potentially cost you more battery life to run at a lower speed.

That said, this is not always the case and all cpu and batteries are not created equal. I also assume that you did not set the min and max cpu speed to 1.4 in which case your phone will die way to quick.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
Thats right but maybe we should let the phone make the task at the speed it needs to, i think that the battery test should be taked at 1ghz standard speed...

I'll give this a test, I usually run my phone from 6:30am till about midnight without a problem with what I currently have, so this should give me an extra hour or so? We'll see, i'll post back tomorrow night. :D

edit: Only about an hour in and I most definitely see a good improvement in responsiveness. I play a game called Dark Summoner and it generally has very bad responsiveness. Would take 1-2 seconds to my touches to register at times but that has been reduced down to about 1/4 - 1/2 second now. This is with all the same settings I would normally have it at so far. I'll start the battery test tomorrow morning.

Also, my phone are overheatin while charging, but no the battery its the processor zone that hare overheatin, sometimes the bat only charge at one static percent, like two nights ago, the battery was af 68% and doesen't charge anymore, y was needing to turn of the phone and charge it while off...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathmaker06:
Doesn't the faux kernel already turn off one of the cpu cores while the screen is off? I believe this was implemented at the start of the v50 if I remember correctly.

Also I've had the same issue with the percentage being stuck at a number and staying there. Although once I do a reboot it shows its 100% after a night of charging. I however don't have a heating problem with my phone but that's probably because I've made a foil heat sink for mine and it hasn't had any heating problems since then. I think it maybe due to something faux did to the v54 Kernel cause I didn't have this percentage problem up until then however I'm not going to put all blame on him cause I have made some changes to my phone before putting on v54 But honestly it doesn't bug me that much so I haven't tried to solve it.

Oh i thought you knew, you gotta turn on "stay awake while charging "

So I wanted to update you guys with what I had so far while testing this mod. I still have about 5 hours to go till its about 11 but the battery life seems to be about the same or a bit better. I do have to say I did use the phone a bit more than my norm today. Used it to download a 1 hour album off Spotify but the battery life still held up pretty well. I'll update this again when the battery is at like 5%

I do want to state for everyone that this is not specifically a "battery saving " mod as more just an overall system enhancement. Lil performace, lil responsiveness, lil battery.

on my tablet i notice a turn around with better battery, but when your battery is as small as the one on my tablet, any battery savings is significant! Lol

This is my 3500mah battery after a days pretty good use. No cellular just wifi, weak cellular signal DRAINS battery. Hows your signal strength out their where you live? My point being you can expect less than half of this on our 1500mah. Unless your not using it. Lol average for me? 6-10 hours.

Your battery is a dud, danko. With GB roms you should get at least a day it's not more on normal use. Try getting a new battery.

@jackyl, for cell batteries it's recommended to not let them drain to the max. You should charge it as soon as you go below 15 if you can. Or your battery lifecycle will be short.

Have u considered undervolting and creating profiles? Also if you use apps like antu cpu master or setcpu you can change your Governor to power saver which should help it a bit as it will try to use the lowest possible cpu speed to run apps rather than using more than an app needs in performance.

Hi,

I am currently on CM9. I got it by Mobil Odining EL29 kernel and flashing the CM9 rom.

A few days ago I wanted to get ParanoidAndrpod so i Mobil Odined to EL29 and tried to flash the rom but I got a status 7 error in CWM. So I went through a big mess and got back to a stock GB rom then did the first steps to get back to CM9.

What I'm hoping is for someone to teach me how to get to ParanoidAndroid and if I dont like it, how to get back to CM9.

Also any comments regarding performance/stability/battery of ParanoidAndroid would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: I just came across this link

It seems like the only things I did different than the steps listed was using EL29 kernel and not holding down power + vol up on the reboot, it automatically took me to the recovery.

Can someone explain why I got an error when trying to flash the ROM in CWM? It was a chunk of errors and at the end it said Satus 7 error or something like that.

Also, after reading some of the recent posts in the PA thread, it doesnt look like that stable of a rom yet, any suggestions/comments?
