Well I only OC'd it since it was lagging to begin with, figured it might improve with faster clock speed...i havent noticed any difference.

Will try flash once more, if not will probably go back to FLEX i s'pose. I do like 4.2 though.

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

Ok so after further testing/playing around with it incl. with Apex to see if it makes a difference

> disable app drawer transparency = smooth app drawer transitions, albeit unsightly to my eyes (plain black background)

> disabled scrolling wallpaper = makes no difference with homescreen transitions (that i noticed), still laggy

Its pretty much just these two things, the few apps I've gone into and used appear to work fine. They're all smooth without any noticable lag.

NOTE: when i say 'lag/laggy' i dont mean it drops to some ridiculous framerate, just that you can see it stutter slightly, enough that you notice it and know it's not smooth.

I guess you could compare it to an unsensitive screen, still usable but annoying when it detects it half a second after tapping.
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Well, lag is happening on my Galaxy Nexus, and it looks like changes in the System UI have caused slow down. I think specifically it deals with wallpapers (of all things). I don't know if its anything I can fix.

Anyway, I haven't made practically any progress due to midterms. I may get a build done tonight, but then again I may not.

Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 4 [09-02-2013

Anyway to get the Bluetooth to work with a mic headset? It won't work for Skype with a Bluetooth headset.... Only wired.
[Acer Iconia A500] djyoshii:
Ah cheers mate.

At least it looks like it's not just due to my incompetence :p

Like i said, everything works fine, except my homescreen & app drawer transitions (unless I make it all black/remove transparency) so it *does* sound like it's due to the wallpaper.

...Was this fixed in 4.2.2? I'm running PACv22 on my S2 and transitions seem fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
I had this issue to a point in 4.2.1 on my old a500. Look in and poke the Trebuchet options, there should be one for a 'quick draw hack' or something for your wallpaper.
[Acer Iconia A500] djyoshii:
Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 4 [09-02-2013

Thanks for the tip, went to look for the settings,couldn't find it, but it appears to be totally smooth when using Trebuchet (I normally use Nova) with the current CPU settings I'm running, 1.4ghz/ondemand (lulzactive is ridiculously slow for whatever reason).

Anyway, are you (or anyone else) aware of some quick draw setting/hack for Nova or even Apex? I've been through the settings but may have missed/overlooked it.

I just can't bring myself to use Trebuchet as I've got Nova set up nicely. Otherwise I guess it's a small thing to live with in order to run 4.2.1 :)
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Good news: I succeeded in my first ever Android build, and it even booted

Bad news: It got stuck in a wacky SystemUI force close loop

Okay news: I believe I have found a fix but I probably won't be able to build again until tomorrow. If it works, I need to figure out how to merge it. I've hardly ever used git...
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
I've successfully done a new build with no constant FC'ing of the SystemUI. Now I'm just waiting on an answer on if I should start a new thread for my own builds. Regardless, I want to pass on some info to PJ if he ever comes back to this: The lag caused by the new "phablet" UI might also be on the new status bar at the top. Disabling that bar through Trebuchet reduces lag to pretty much nothing. I don't know why nor do I know if it can be fixed yet. Identifying it is a start.

AW: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 4 [09-02-2013

To open a new thread or not, you 'll have to discuss with PJ I think.

What about WiFi, does it work stable now? WiFi is critical to me.
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Wifi still has issues. The only one who has fixed it is Thor, I believe. Of course, we all know how he is. I'll see what I can do to fix it.

EDIT: You can try talking to Thor about sharing with us if we give him proper credit (he did fix it after all) but I doubt he'll be very willing.
[Acer Iconia A500] djyoshii:
Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 4 [09-02-2013

Whoa, it works! I've switched back to tablet UI in settings and lag has disappeared completely from home screen transitions :)

I'll keep checking back to see why your new build is released and if it resolves that issue. This will do for now, though I did like the new layout and quick tiles.

One thing with the tablet layout though, the font size /dpi on the right side (time) seems smaller than the icons on the left. I can't find any dpi settings either to change it?

Can take a screenshot if needed.

Excellent ! armada786

I suggest open a new thread.

Also, I haven't created a static ip. I just left everything how it was, and it connected right away.

PROTIP: I don't even know how to create a static ip, especially since Android no longer offers ip settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
Tried with DHCP config first actually. Got LoS then, and with a static IP.

Android no longer offers IP settings? WTF are you talking about?
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
I don't see anything under Wi-Fi>advanced. Am I missing something?
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
You just said there are no IP settings, and you just posted an image of them. Not sure what you're getting at?
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
lol, that's a screenshot I found on the net while trying to figure out how to create a static ip. Apparently, this used to be an option in Android, but I can't find the option.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentfazexx:
It's still in advanced settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Ok, I'll take another look. I mean, I see where (in this ROM) it says "IP address", but from what I recall, it's blank and clicking on it gets me nothing.
[Acer Iconia A500] johnciaccio:
I don't have mine here right now but I do remember I had to check another box else first to get to change it.

Very nice work PJSports. Wifi working great for me. No big issues. Only annoying issue is keyboard disappearing while typing (as others have also noted). The best CM 10.1 ROM I've tested. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] newbkilla:
Does anyone else notice the sluggishness when changing between home screens (Tried on ADW ex and Go Launcher for Pad as well)? Also, when I go into settings, I do not see the performance option that CM usually adds. Someone already mentioned the keyboard, although I suppose installing a different keyboard could solve this problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Pazzu510:
Finally with second released I am able to. I download this great rom.

Bluetooth works correctly with my vw stereo.

I dont find wifi to be giving problems.(after i opened advanced options everything worked till now; i didnt even need to move the advances options or save them)

keyboard gets rebelious sometimes wich gives me great conflict because market keyboards for tablets suck. Confirmed external keyboards fix the issues, you just have to find a keyboard as ergonomic as the default android one.

Everythong else smooth and nice, almost as a daily driver(I just specify this for noobs not to get exited and then making this thread full of not usefull posts)

I am really thankfull for this rom, randomblame usually makes the breakthroughs but you make the best and most stable roms. Thanks.:fingers-crossed:

A personal request: would it be posssible to add hdmi control

Really great job. :laugh:

Edit: stupid things keyboard i downloaded wrote

Edit: keyboard has a very strange problem. A very similar keyboard to the one we have is having the exact same problem as the stock one. A different keyboard as SwiftKey does not present the problem. The similar keyboard is below for those of you who want to try.

Also, regarding the developer options, thanks for the tip. I have installed all of my apps (user only, not system) without having USB Debugging on, and all seems to work fine. I couldn't find the dev options, so I had to install w/o USB Debug enabled.

Thanks, PJ. Great job as always!
[Acer Iconia A500] Lincolnmking:
I am still on Build 1, but wifi will not stay connected even using the static IP. It will then not even scan for wifi available.

Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 4 [09-02-2013

ROM comparisons definitely don't belong in any ROM development thread. From what I know, TegraOwners kernels don't follow GPL so, sadly, that discussion is definitely not welcome on XDA.
[Acer Iconia A500] Divine_Madcat:
Those are boards.. this is a thread. Your posts belong in the thread appropriate to the given discussion (ie - you wouldn't go spouting off about mustangs in a viper appreciation thread). If you want to discuss a particular ROM, your first bet would be in a thread dedicated to THAT ROM..
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
And your "second" best bet, and even "more" logical, is that if you wish to discuss a ROM which is "NON" GPL, then discuss it on "that" web site. Not XDA.

Discussions concerning ROMs with Non-GPL kernels, is strictly prohibited as per XDA rules. (warez)

[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
Ive been using this rom for quite awhile now and it rocks , I cant even think of anything right off thats wrong with it, I know alot of people cant wait for the next update, but sometimes things just run so smooth that you dont need daily updates, My Note is similiar to this platform in that it doesnt get daily (nightlies) , I may not get an update for a month or more but when it works ,why?
[Acer Iconia A500] FSUSeminole:
I couldn't get auto-rotate working at all with on this ROM my tablet (which removes it completely as an option, unfortunately).. think there might be some differences in hardware.... because some people have had the same problem, others haven't... For now I'm still on CMFlex.... but would love to be able to run something newer on 4.2.2
[Acer Iconia A500] bobiscool07:
There is a difference between a month late update, and an update that's never coming.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
Well if an update actually has something to offer maybe,my Note doesn't get many updates its 4.2.2 Flappjax kernel/rom and it rocks you don't have to have daily updates, I guess if your testing for the dev,that's one thing...
[Acer Iconia A500] Bassmas5:
Source files

Does anyone know where the source file for this rom are?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Understand people, lots of ROMs get published, and the 500 forum is no exception. And as with all devices, eventually they exceed their usefulness, replaced by more modern devices.

Sometimes things go as far as they can, depending on current Google code, and the capabilities of the Dev themselves. As always stated many times, many places, if you don't like a certain ROM, then by all means try something else. Nobody forces anybody to install custom software.

Complaining, and making rude comments, will only get you noticed by the wrong people. :D

[Acer Iconia A500] darkguy2008:
That's true, but in my search for a new tablet I got this one as it has the best capabilities for the budget I had. It kinda sucks that even the Nexus 7 or 10 don't have HDMI output which was a main reason why I chose the A500 :(
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
The 10 definitely has HDMI out. I use my old cable I got for my a500. I am not sure a WiFi/BT stable 4.2 kernel will be found, though, due to stack changes
[Acer Iconia A500] darkguy2008:
Right, my bad, I was looking at the N7 instead of the N10 due to the price lol. Damn, that really sucks, this device really benefits a lot from JB :/

[Acer Iconia A500] David69:
I have exactly the same problem.

If I'm turning on the A500 and the wifi hot spot is already active all it's OK but if the wifi hot spot is off, it's impossible to connect the A500 after at this hot spot.
[Acer Iconia A500] gotroot801:
A few notes after 2-3 days of usage after a wipe and TiBU restore:

WiFi is much more stable than advertised. Running with a static IP I had one outage that required a reboot.

The tablet doesn't go into Deep Sleep according to CPU Spy. It's either 1000 MHz or 216 MHz. Never any intermediary step, never deep sleep. This is running with the defaults - interactive governor, no O/C.

Despite the above, battery life isn't terrible given this is an early preview build. I've had one charging cycle since installing and I'm around halfway to having to plug in a second time.

Lock screen disappeared and Gmail crashed a la CM10's egl issues on my first boot, but I haven't been able to recreate that scenario in two days.

I'd say this is good enough to be a daily driver. It'll certainly tide me over until I get a Nexus 10, anyway. Good job, pjsports!
