Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 2 [22-01-2013

What would be really awsome is if theres a way to make the usb port use internet adapters.:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Here's some info I collected on the January 2013 build:

When the keyboard disappears, it is actually crashing (I'll give the logcat and debug dump later)

Speed of input seems to factor in to whether it till crash. Slower input seems to lower the chance of crashing.

Lockscreen is incredibly slow and generally has a lot of drawing issues (wrong coordinates for one). Maybe this is related to the graphical leak?

The rainbow banding in the background has a fix and is the result of the BG being changed to an xml it seems: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36079807&postcount=36

I'll get some hard data from the logs to back this up. Have you been able to talk to randomblame about patching the leak yet? I think we'd get some better performance. Or it could be a problem with one of the Iconia runs and some of us are just doomed. Beyond these issues the ROM is overall good. A little more polish and it'll be great!

Wouah.. my audio usb dac working with this rom !

Hello,

Good news for audio addicts and thanks for this rom.

My A501 with this rom is working with my audio usb dac (hifimediy sabre with usb TenorTE7022L same as in odac).

I tested a lot (4.1.2 and 4.21, aokp, V23 tegra, etc.) and it is the first time it works !

What i've done: when installing the rom, i have my usb dac connected until android boots completely.... Surprise, i started mx player and the sound was going in my DT770 pro through the usb dac and E11 fiio amplifier... I was so surprised i tested Apollo, player and again sound in my headphone.

But ... unplugging the usb dac and no sound outside my a501 through the woofers... Reboot without the dac connected and sound through the woofers of the a501 then plug my dac : no sound in the dac. Reboot with the dac connected and now sound through the dac.

Before, the only way to have it working was using USB recording pro (playstore) !

Really appreciate and again thanks !

esorven.

Yes. I'd like to test them to see if the keyboard crashing is an issue with CM upstream or something else. I narrowed down the cause of the crash: suggestions. In fields where there is no spelling suggestion the keyboard will work fine, else it crashes. AOSP based keyboards have the same problem. I have a logcat but I can't get it to upload from my tablet.

[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
Downloading and installing the latest weekly. I'm seeing a LOT to suggest what some here have suspected- that the a500's have two SLIGHTLY different hardware batches. My reasoning:

-Some bluetooths work, some don't

-Some WiFi's are stable, others are not at all

-A few talk about memory leaks, others have no issues (I've had no disappearing lock screens)

-SOme have SoD's, others do not.

Will have to report back.

Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 3 [03-02-2013

When I first flashed the new build, Wi-Fi was still jacked up for me. So I'll post what I did to get it to work. I don't know if it's was luck, experience of flashing 30+ roms or a combination of both. I read this process somewhere a while ago for flashing steel droid (I think) on my old d3.

1) wipe dalvik

2) wipe cache

3) install rom

4) wipe dalvik

5) install rom

6) DO NOT wipe dalvik and reboot

Sent from my A500 using CM10.1 JB unofficial
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
My normal routine once this JB install was on my tab (I initially did a /data, /system, AND cache wipe when going from 4.0.3) follows:

1) Wipe cache

2) wipe dalvik

3) install ROM

4) Boot

What difference does it make to wipe dalvik, reinstall ROM again, then reboot? I have tried your steps and we'll see if it works, but why would wiping dalvik and installing again work?

EDIT 1: Okay, it finished booting. It connected to the wifi, then disconnected and showed the network as being in range. Then, all my networks blanked out and reported 'not in range', so no behavior change.

EDIT 2: Okay, the WiFi seems completely unusable on my device now... Hoping this changes.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Pretty much confirmed. My tablet's WiFi is now completely unuseable. GOing to be reverting to 01-22 then. Does teh same thing every time, and won't come back until I reboot completely. Will try to pull log cats. I have a class right now. THankfully, taking attendance and grades does not require WiFi... So I will get logcats as best I can over my planning time.
[Acer Iconia A500] acerdroid:
I so hoped WiFi was fixed now so badly wane try this ROM only thing stopping me is WiFi and wakelock
[Acer Iconia A500] garbour:
Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 3 [03-02-2013

No point in wiping data.

Wiping system doesn't really make sense either because this is the same rom, just a newer build. The new rom writes over with any updated system files.

Once I discovered wifi wasn't working in the 2-3 build I reverted back to the 1-22 build, rebooted only to find that now wifi wasn't working in that build either. I then did the steps I mentioned and wifi works as well as it did in the 4.1.2 builds pj did. I'm not entirely sure why you don't wipe dalvik after the 2nd flash. My guess would be that there isn't anything in there to wipe since the tab wasn't booted.

Hope all of this somehow helps someone in getting their wifi to work.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
I only did the total wipe going from the stock 4.0.3 to the custom 4.2.1... I'll try reverting to 1.22 after some further testing. Right now, I'm getting TWRP 2.4.1 installed.

Wouldn't be surprised if the are some inherent issues going straight from 4.0.xyz (ics) to 4.2.1. You might try the latest 4.1.2 build pj did as an intermediate step.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
Well, the very first install I had was a straight 4.0.3 - 4.2.1, and that had serious issues. No system wipe, did wipe cache, but the theme chooser wouldn't work. Trebuchet barely worked and was very slow/.crashy, stuff like that. THat's when I did hte initial /system wipe and all that. Except for wifi, mostly works great now

Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 3 [03-02-2013

[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
Something must be really strange about the WiFi driver. My WiFi, even after rolling back to 20130122, is still completely unusable. I've wiped the cache's several times.

Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 3 [03-02-2013

Understand that the kernals change from 4.0.3 (ics) to 4.2.1 (jb). In my mind jumping from ics to the 2nd release of jb (4.1.2 was the 1st jb release while 4.2.1 is the 2nd, a bit confusing and easily incorrectly transcribed) warrants wiping everything and starting from scratch.

Btw I'm on twrp v2.1.3
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
I'm using 2.4.1 for TWRP. I just wiped System, Cache, dalvik, then installed the 20130203 release again. Crossing my fingers right now, but the wifi is holding stable. Figured I'd completely kill the previous installations and start again.

[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
I didn't think to grab dmesg... If that happens again, I"ll grab it. The full /system wipe fixed the issues, though, which is strange. I wouldn't think that'd make a difference.

I'll give it a shot, just got to work and my tab's booting up. The wifi issue is stopping TiBa from backing up to Google Drive.

EDIT 1: Tablet's rebooted. It did what I expected it to do and completely cleared all my WiFi settings. We'll see if it still gets random drops and driver crashes

[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Been doing more investigation on the keyboard. The crash is tied to the gapps. Probably gesture typing. Since I can type this message from my tablet with no crashes and gesture typing doesn't work without gapps it seems reasonable to infer. WiFi has also been stable with no drops on this gappsless system.Been up for almost 12 hours with no drops. Let's see what happens when I add gapps.

[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
I've finally found the trouble file that causes the keyboard to crash after flashing gapps: libjni_latinime.so

Its flashed as part of the gapps package and replacing it with the one that's stock in the ROM keeps the keyboard alive just fine. I believe it disables gesture typing though.

So the question now is: is this an upstream problem or specific to our device?
[Acer Iconia A500] johnciaccio:
Re: ROM | WIP | Jellybean 4.2.1 CM10.1 Unofficial for A500 Weekly build 3 [03-02-2013

The problem with Bluetooth and WiFi is due to the changes in the stacks from 4.2 on. This is why only the nexus devices are running 4.2+ and the rest are stuck at 4.1. The manufacturers are not going to spend the extra time and money to get 4.2 running on current devices. Period.

If anyone gets it working right on this tab I'll be happy.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
That explains a lot. I'm still completely unsuccessful in getting the Bluetooth to connect to any of my other devices.
[Acer Iconia A500] acerdroid:
Just to let everybody know who really wants to try 4.2.1 I'm running one now and wifi is 100% the whole rom is perfect for me everything is working fine. It only has issues with nova launcher but using apex its fine. I can really reccommend this rom. Thor and digitex jb rom
[Acer Iconia A500] gsurath:
Almost perfect

I can corroborate the above point made by Acerdroid. This means that we can hope for a future where this ROM will get stable WIFI. Thanks PJsports
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
Just so you know, discussing or supporting Thor's work around here is generally frowned upon. Thor doesn't release his Linux kernel source like the GPL requires him to and distributing software that breaks licenses around here is considered warez. Also, discussing how that ROM is better here doesn't help pjsports with development at all; the fact that Thor doesn't share anything doesn't help even more (though for the Android tree he technically doesn't have to unlike the kernel).

Since this is a development thread, keep it on the subject of reporting bugs in a concise manner to assist with further improvement of this ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] acerdroid:
@ Armanda i actually thought that myb they could have a look at that rom and c how he got his wifi working. No disrespect to pj or anybody wasn't aware of the issues with thor my bad
[Acer Iconia A500] gsurath:
Thanks Armada786. Was not aware of this and have modified my post accordingly.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibblebill:
If he would release his source, then we COULD take a look and bother him about it... But I'm thinking he probably won't.

I'm starting to toy with the ROM on my PCD Chaser as practice. Once I learn how to modify/use/abuse a simpler 2.3 ROM, I'll begin poking around the source for this one.

It's well known and that file breaks the keyboard on other devices as well (I own an LG Optimus 2X; same thing there).
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
I don't have time to look at other device forums, so that makes it easier. Guess it's a problem we'll have to wait out. EDIT: Now that I took the time to look it might be because we lack support for NEON seeing as we share the Tegra 2 chip with the Optimus 2X.

[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:

[Acer Iconia A500] ibawanzingee:
Great job again, PJ Sports. The problem I'm having is this:

Games ALWAYS crashing. All the time, not limited to any specific titles. I know this is most likely the memory leak issue at work here, but I constantly have to reboot and or close the game (wiping it from "recents") after it crashes. Every now and again, I'll actually wipe cache and dalvik cache hoping it works. It's actually so annoying that I'm considering going back to TO v20.

Is there a hot fix that anyone knows of that will make it so games don't crash so often?
[Acer Iconia A500] armada786:
