Re: [ROM][KERNEL]ICS 4.0.4-RE-FLEXxx + CiVz_StormFlex OC Kernel 1646MHz(28-Feb-2013)

This ROM is simply amazing! Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] ryryrocco:
thanks once again for a wonderful update. So far this version seems smoother than ever (like it wasn't already)

love how fast the update is using aroma compared to other roms on other devices. once you make your selections it is super quick.

I have not performed a full wipe since the installation of the first version of this rom that I loaded and have not had any problems at all so far.

btw just scored 4125 on quadrant - default settings, overclocked to 1408.

Right on.
[Acer Iconia A500] 10507:
Is there any way to change your Aroma Installer to have it work with the new [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery. It would be must better and up to date.

This Rom

This ROM has given this tablet wings. Especially with the kernel. I attracted the picture of the result, Can post it on the main post if you wish. just a quick question, I know over clocking can be bad, i.e. over heating the processor, but whats the risk of keeping it on 1.646 for the whole time? would you recommend only for playing games etc. and normal 1 ghz for everyday? or 1.646 ghz is safe for all the time?
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
There is thermal throttle protection , so if cpu gets to hot it will throttle down.

I would suggest 1.5 - 1.4GHz 24/7 use , you can also undervolt it a little it should be stable for most users. I use setcpu. To much UV will result in very laggy tablet or a freeze.

Remember normal full stock A500 does what 2200-2300 quadrant score? this rom at 1.0GHz 3100 score, no need for quad core tablet for now.

And higher speeds it will consume a lot more power.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Kernel Rev3.3 released

Rev3.3 released (see OP) fixes 1.4GHz bug ( strange no one reported)

Setting it to 1.4GHz just put it to 216MHz , this is solved now.

got 4555 quadrant score at 1600 MHz but crashed/rebooted multiple times trying to run at 1646 MHz

this is both before and after running v6 supercharger settings

got 4490 at 1500 MHz - I will probably keep it at 1.4 or 1.2 for my general usage (got scores anywhere from 3800-4000 at this setting)

For reference I got a score of 3769 on my totally stock 4.2.2 but rooted nexus 7

Good question... haven't seen the CRT off animation implemented in any of the a500 custom builds as of yet??
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Yes it is possible, you need to mod framework-res.

Dynamic fsync has all bugs ironed out? Serious bugs discovered by pengus77 for p990 and fixed in that kernel. Just wondering before I switch it on and eat dirt.
[Acer Iconia A500] psxnitro:
Anyone know the theme or look to use in the aroma installer to make the tablet have better pixel density? Sometimes when I install the ROM I will get apps that will act like it was installed in a small screen phone instead a tablet. I don't feel like clean wiping and installing the rom multiple times just to get the right setting.
[Acer Iconia A500] Spikelangelo:
Re: [ROM][KERNEL]ICS 4.0.4-RE-FLEXxx + CiVz_StormFlex OC Kernel (13-Mar-2013)

I believe this has more to do with the app itself. Many apps are not built to work natively on large screens. These are usually easily identified as they often only load in portrait and are stretched to fit the screen and look hideous. Contact the developer of the app to request tablet support.

EDIT: Never mind, I missed that you were talking about aroma. Although it may similar and the aroma script just wasn't defined for a high resolution. I've only just started playing with aroma though, so I don't really know what it's resolution limitations are.

[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Did you try StormFlex Rev2.2 , the original in the rom.

If not try this Rev5.0+ release , it is a non public version aimed for stability.

Lionheart governor is also added in this one and updated Dynamic FSYNC.

The benchmark scores are lower but there is no graphic bug in this one on my first tests.
[Acer Iconia A500] acerdroid:
I just opened gmail to check mail and screen started flashing non stop. So im trying ezterry kernel now. What would the best one b to use ur 2.2 kernel. Thanx

Never mind ill try rev5.0.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
You can also try this one , it is a improved none public released version of Rev2.2 , this one is called Rev2.5 , I used this one for a long time without any problems , it got OC up to 1544MHz.

I lost all my data on a HDD crash so I had to replace it , the Rev 5.0 is a build of today but I can't find out why the quadrant scores are lower on that one. Again I lost all my work on the A500 kernel and in my github I can't seem to find it.

CivZ-ezT20-Revived-Rev1 (08-Apr-2012)

Based on ezterry's OC tegra kernel source and compiled with his toolchain (Big thank you sire !!!)

A501 support (with correct rom that support A501) enable sim detect module in terminal!

Added LionHeart governor

Shedulers: Sio, Deadline, CFQ, Zen, Row, VR.

Updated DynamicFsync (enable with terminal command)

Zram support(enable with terminal command)

I hope this gives the same stability that ezterry's kernel gives but then with the extra features and schedulers.

Please take a look in OP for the terminal commands!

Update comming

Rev 6.5 coming:

What will be new?

Viper Audio Mod = Really lood ! this together with the Acid mod (see screenshot) as a option in Aroma

AlsaMix support (You want even loader music , this is for the advanced user)

ezT20 Rev1.1 1646MHz kernel with some tweaks like readahead increase (MAX OC for the lucky few up to 1646MHz , I'm running it really stable)

iwconfig , iwmulticall options to tweak Wifi TX power , default is 14dBm , with the app included (WifiTX) you can tweak it up to 32dBm giving you a better wifi reception , remember that higher dBm = higher battery drain.

New PlayStore 4.0.25

apps updated...

Rev6.5 full rom released. (ALL INFO ALSO IN OP)

PLEASE READ THIS POST FOR ALL INFO ON THE NEW UPDATE!

Thanks to "Interphaze" for download service

RE-FLEXxx-ShellSHOCK~Rev6.5-Public.zip

Dev-Host

RE-FLEXxx-ShellSHOCK~Rev6.5-Public

-CivZ-ezT20-Revived-Rev1.1~1646MHz kernel (Based on ezterry's ezT20 kernel and source compiled on his toolchain)

Stable to 1504MHz for all users , Speeds up to 1646MHz are only for the few with good Tegra2 chip.

Governors: LulzActive/LionHeart/Interactive/Powersaver/Performance/Userspace/Ondemand/Conservative.

Schedulers: Noop/Deadline/cfq/Bfq/Vr/Sio/Row/Zen

Updated DynamicFSYNC (Thanks to Pengus77)

Zram support

.....

-Updated apps

All google apps , Music2, ........

PlayStore 4.0.25

All Acer apps

SuperSu 1.25

BusyBox 1.21.0

-Wifi TX power available

iwconfig & iwmulticall available , this so TX power can be changed = Default is 14dBm.

"Wifi TX power" app included = this allows you to change the value to 4/11/18/25/32 dBm. The higher the dBm value the better the wifi reception but the higher the battery drain.

You can also change the TX power with terminal command : iwconfig wlan0 txpower ...(max 32dBm) this is temporarily until a reboot while the app keeps settings even after reboot.

-Viper and AlsaMix sound mod (in aroma)

AlsaMix = For the advanced user = can make your ears blow off (can be removed as it is installed in data but the support stays in the rom if you selected it in aroma, this way you can reinstall it from playstore)

Viper4Android FX mod= Supurb audio mod that makes the sound options unlimited and looder. ,

Can be used with AlsaMix and AcidMod (Acid is insalled by default in the rom), it is set up that they all work together.

(Go to and select settings/sound effects/Viper4AndroidFX if you want to use it) If you want the additional effects (IRS samples) go here to download them and do the following : Extract IR samples to root of sdcard(internal storage) , create a folder named = ViPER4Android , in this folder you create a other one named = Kernel , in this you extract the ....irs files.

-Sysrw and Sysro fast command added

sysrw and sysro = this script give android elevated privileges -- you are authorizing read-write access for yourself to make changes to /system, temporarily. It ends when you run the other script, reboot, or kill the terminal session you started.

Meaning of this is not the need to type this "busybox mount -o rw,remount /system" you just type "sysrw" and for "busybox mount -o ro,remount /system" you type this "sysro". Making it easier for people that need it like a script they make.

Enjoy and I hope I still bring you something 100% rock solid stable and special for the forgotten A500.

You see there are a lot new stuff and features in the rom and kernel and I hope this keeps your A500 still alive.
