[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
Does that mean I can safely remove the HALO))) apk without affecting the functionality of Halo itself?

I reported the camera res change issues quite awhile ago to hardslog, though I think at that point you had stopped development on the A100. I remember him saying he would look into a fix and I think awhile after he cured it. Can't remember if he listed on here what the actual cause of the problem is though.

This potential to customize how this ROM behaves is absolutely incredible. I spent the last couple of hours messing about with swipe bars and pop up menus and the various combinations possible... it really is clever stuff. Was rather confusing to figure out what is what at first. I've still not found a way to change the button size on the pie... any additional buttons added get squashed up at one end of it. Is there anywhere in the menu where this can be altered? Also, directly surrounding the pie buttons there is a thick bar which is partially blue... looks like a volume slider or something but I can't seem to get it to do anything??

All in all a very interesting ROM thank you Pio. Given that it is early days on 4.2.2 for the A100, do you think there is any chance that the MIC will be fixable in the future? Does it work ok on your Thrive?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well as I said unless it was reported (to me) I wouldn't have known. Hardslog wasn't reporting issues or fixes to me so I never knew it happened or how it was fixed.

The mic should be fixable, and yes it works on the thrive, so its likely a minor routing issue on the vangogh vs Antares or Picasso boards. Sound is my weakest point though, I always have troubles with it for some reason.

As for pie, there's options for all kinda shiz in there, just gotta go through them all and restart systemui to make them active in some cases. That bar is, I think, just decoration, though.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Sad thing is I don't really use the camera features on the A100 so that's probably why I never tested them when going thru stuff on the recent CM10 builds. But yes I am getting the same issues MrCubbins has reported with changing resolutions FCing the camera app on this current CarbonROM build.

The only thing I am hoping for down the road is some kind of updated version Linuxsociety's Jelly Bean kernel that works on 4.2.2. I'm pretty sure the current build will not work on 4.2.2 ROMs due to there being enough differences between 4.1.x and 4.2.2. Love how that kernel worked in making things run just a bit smoother. :good:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I'm just curious why anyone

A: uses the crappy camera on these things for anything but Skype

B: bothers changing the resolution of the already low resolution cameras

:p

The kernel included is already modified just hasn't had the juice turned on yet. I'm not a fan of his kernel for my personal device, it never got along with it. If you venture into its settings you'll notice it has some extras in governors and io, no longer stock CM.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah I'm not really much of a fan of cams on tablets myself. Yet I've seen people using their tablets for taking pictures so what do I (and you) know, right?

I wasn't aware of what was going on with the kernel that you have in use. The Linuxsociety kernel or at least the one that was in hardslog's ROMs ran very well on mine. That's using Linuxsociety's kernel with mods done wasn't it? Then again we all know that you probably can have two A100's next to each other one will run the kernel perfectly yet the other one will have issues with it... so yeah.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I think he used ezterrys kernel, why he chose to over the godmachine kernel you'll need to ask him about lol. It was a nice kernel for sure, but my a100 just didn't like it. My thrive kernels love mine but hate some others, such is electronics I guess.

I'm still testing the kernel for when the juice is turned on so its a pretty basic kernel otherwise, bit it should wake up real nice when its let loose.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Looking over the notes from several of hardslog's ROMs he's mentioned they have used godmachine kernels (or as I mistakenly called them "Linuxsociety"). No idea on the latest ROM that he's released since there's no mention. Let me know if you need to me to test any kernels here. My A100 is ready.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well the kernel has some odd issues, for one lulzactive seems to just stay at top speed, it doesn't seem to scale at all. In the overclock enabled builds anychanges to min/max speeds will result in no deep sleep, the kernel stays awake at all times. Not sure whats causing either of those, lulzactive can be gone over but why the speed change locks the system awake I have no clue.

I really wish I knew what I was doing with kernels lol

Edit:

Vote, who thinks I should just update the linux society/god machine kernel to 4.2 and leave it at that? lol
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
I was totally not aware about the deep sleep issue since I normally turn the tablet off when it's not in use. Does the ezterry kernel have the same issue? If not then maybe updating that to 4.2 might be better in the long run. As far as scaling I never seemed to have the issue at least from what SetCPU shows me. I'm about to go to my CYANOSAKI_FLEX_V2.0 backup and will let you know what I'm seeing as that I believe is using a godmachine kernel.

Also just noticed something weird. When I tried to backup the current CarbonROM build using TWRP 2.6.0.0 it shows 0MB in cache is used. Could there be something wrong with the routing/paths/etc on cache use on CarbonROM?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
The deep sleep issues are only on the overclock enabled kernel that I use, it shouldn't appear in the released build, it only shows up if min/max speeds are changed from stock. Scaling issues appear only in lulzactive, its defaulted to interactive so unless you change it, its scaling properly.

I'm not using the ezterry or god machine kernels, so its a problem unique to mine I think.

It uses cache or it wouldn't be booting at all, and you shouldn't back that up anyways :p I think twrp has some bugs no one ironed out and its causing oddness with older devices.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Oops. I thought you meant godmachine's kernel had those issues. My bad. I should read better next time. :laugh:

Also checking CYANOSAKI_FLEX_V2.0 the kernel it's using believe it or not is by ezterry. SetCPU defaults to interactive on this for me as well running at 1.5 ghz max speed, 312 mhz minimum. No idea if hardslog has done any mods/changes to the kernel however. Run perfectly fine on my A100. :good:

And you are right about cache let alone the TWRP bug. Just finished wiping and restoring my CarbonROM backup by the way. Successful swapping from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 and back via TWRP backups.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ugh I hate kernels, and I hate working IN them even more. But, it's coming along. It'll basically be the GM kernel all over again when I'm done lol.

So far vs the source I began with:

GPU/CPU/system speeds are tuned a little more, voltages tuned a little more

Adding in those missing governors, like Smartass and lagfree.

Converted/updated to BCMDHD from BCM4329

OC up to 1.5, UC to 216

I'm building this to include with my 4.2 builds, and I suppose I could just release a flashable version, it may even work on 4.1, who knows.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jreink01:
If this is for the 4.2 is there a 4.3 version of carbon? Also, in those screen shots (I feel dumb for asking this but it shows in the messaging screen, a picture of that contact. I checked messaging settings but could not find how to enable this.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
There is currently no 4.3 carbon, there is jellytime which is on 4.3 if you need to have the latest android version, its also available here in the development forums.

That's the Hangouts app, and it happens by itself by default, so you're not missing a setting or anything like that. The messaging app itself is for SMS/MMS and so doesn't function on the A100, that I'm aware of, as its meant for phones. If you're still on Google talk, update it to Hangouts to be up to date on its features.

Side note, the messaging app does it also, on my DNA, also by default with no settings needed to add it. If you get one side with a pic but yours doesn't show one, you'll need to set one manually, or sign into Google+, that's how mine shows up. You may also want to make a contact for yourself and set a profile pic there.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
Okay I tried this but keep making the "duck" face, is this an error with your rom? Lol
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
No, I stuck that there on purpose :p

Given it a reboot yet?

I have a contact named "me" and another named my name, that one is the one that shows up in hangouts and quick toggles user, etc.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
Lol no I only reboot to flash
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] onuris:
Not glad to hear that. Glad u still alive tough :D

Hope everythig solves out then and thanks anyway for the time and effort I've seen you're a dedicate and kind person (for all your replys) so you deserve to have a good life and be able to get rid of trouble.

Good luck with all that

I'll give a try to that Jellytime ROM :D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jreink01:
Hello, I am on my acer Iconia a100 and I am having another issue with the carbon rom. Every time the tablet goes to sleep, and then I wake it up, I can't get wifi to come back on. I've tried manually turning it off and back on again, scanning for the network , nothing works. The only thing that works is rebooting then it comes back up. When I wake it up and go into wifi settings, it says my network is out of range yet when I reboot it connects, please help.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
May want to keep WiFi awake then, its a glitch with supplicant that I never tracked down. On 4.3 the always scanning option caused it, but I don't think carbon had it in 4.2.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Akakaze
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jreink01:
Thanks for the response. I have been turning wifi off when I go to bed becasue according to betterbatterystats, wlanlock is having severe wakelocks and keeping the tablets awake. I'm thinking that it has to do with the wifi being on all the time. I don't mind it on throughout the day but at night, I want it to sleep. What I have been doing is manually turning it off (Via toggles) and then when I get up, turning it back on but it turns on but does not find wifi. In wifi settings, it says out of range, have to reboot, then it connects. Is there any way to fix this?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Nope, like I said its a glitch in supplicant that I never found, since I can't build 4.2 carbon anymore it's not really something that can be fixed anymore. Maybe a different supplicant will work better, maybe not, hard to say really.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Akakaze
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jreink01:
Ok, thanks for the feedback. Are there any 4.2. roms that you know of that have mostly everything working, including wifi that I could use as a daily rom. I was thinking about selling my tablet but if I can find a good working rom then I may just keep it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Or maybe 4.1 roms but when I was on stock, I think it was 4.0, gps had a logging issue where it would write txt files that would take up all the memory so I want to stay away from that version. Thanks again.

I googled a100 roms but didn't come up with much. Also, switching between different android versions, roms, all I need to do is do a complete wipe, clear caches, then install then, right?? Nothing extra? Just want to make sure I'm not forgetting anything. I know I will have to flash gapps seperatly and thats usually in the rom thread.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Wipe system, data, dalvik and cache, newer twrp its advanced wipe, regular wipe doesn't do system, but some ROMs wipe that itself, at least mine usually do.

4.1 is probably your best bet, they've always ran great performance wise, its just finding a build that does well for your uses. As for ROMs, if they aren't here they probably don't exist lol

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Akakaze
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mrmrmrmr:
well, I might be ignored or flamed for asking this but I can't help myself:

what does "MIC doesn't work" mean ?

if it is straight as I understand, how does one live with a device lacking MIC ? (none of the IM apps will work...)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
MIC doesn't work means mic is inactive, just like it sounds lol.

You're making some pretty wide sweeping assumptions though, both in how users choose to use their device and in the scope of Instant Messaging apps and how users choose to use the apps they like.

Instant messaging is text based, mic isn't required to type unless you choose to use the mic for text. Doesn't make all IM apps broken. Or even a lot of them. Maybe not even any.

Also, not all users use their tablets for messaging, maybe they have better suited devices or just dislike the a100s screen for typing.

For video or voice calling yes this would prohibit that, but that's not IMing people, that's calling people.

I personally have never used the mic on the a100 outside of testing if it works. I also don't message on it, and I don't type on it when possible, I have much better devices for that, as do a lot of users at this point.

As always I'll suggest you decide if this ROM is a fit for your personal requirements, if not there are other ROMs that may fit you better, every user can choose their ROM based on their needs.

I hope you don't take this as flaming, its not intended that way, but assuming the device becomes useless for everyone because the MIC isn't working made me feel maybe explaining not everyone is you with your requirements for a usable device would be a good idea. Or not. Depends how you take it I guess.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mrmrmrmr:
thank you. that was a long and clear explanation.

As English is not my mother language, I might have used the word IM wrongly.

Of course, I meant video or audio calling. Because most of the IM softwareI use (Skype, Gtalk, MSN...) have calling function and I prefer to use it specially for video calling.

On the other hand, I am not saying "without MIC, the device is useless" , of course everyone has his/her own usage for the device but nowadays IM software with calling feature are fashionable and mobile Android devices are used for that reason among other usage.

For my own use, I really need the MIC. I have several other android devices and A100 is not my own device. It belongs to my wife, and we mostly use it for video calling when we are away.

You said that there are other ROMs that I can choose from. However, all ROMs above Android 4.1 lack the MIC function. Sadly...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Yes any rom past 4.1 lacks the MIC on all tablets of this generation, I'm not sure why, but I know of a few right now on 4.3 and still no working mic since 4.2, they all share the same hardware codec, this may be why. I work with 2 tegra2 based tablets and neither has a working MIC at this point, both share the WM8903 or whatever codec also.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] MrCubbins:
I am also having problems with Cache on this ROM. TWRP reports "Unable to Mount Cache" as an error when it comes to trying to wipe. I panicked at first thinking it was the same as your DATA issue Pio.

I reverted to an old CM10 backup and cache access returned... I was able to wipe within TWRP. I then wiped all (system, data, dalvik, cache, Internal) and flashed the latest CM10. When I rebooted into TWRP again there was no problem mounting/accessing Cache, so it would seem that its a specific issue with this Carbon ROM. Any thoughts as to a solution Pio?

Glad to hear things a progressing well on the kernel. I have tended to use godmachine v2 before but have always found it to be a bit of a battery hog. I tend to get about 3 1/2hrs runtime from a full charge no matter what settings I use, as opposed to about 4.20 from the standard ICS.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Twrp not mounting cache isn't a ROM issue, you aren't in the ROM when twrp has issues. Either way it does seem that carbon shows another bug in twrp for whatever reason so I'll need to check that out when I have time.

I never got 4 hours of screen time on an a100 regardless of the ROM or kernel, and my old one was brand new :confused:

His kernel also works on ICS so you can test ROM vs ROM that way.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Carbon outside of the cache issue does backup and restore with the current version of TWRP (2.6.0.0). Just don't backup/restore cache and you'll be fine. Tested this myself yesterday.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Just tried both ezterry and godmachine kernels. Both will boot and overclock but some features like wifi do not work.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Pretty sure I said that ;)

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah I know. I was just confirming on my A100 myself on it. I assumed they wouldn't work but one never knows until they try. :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well I DID know, they use different WiFi drivers lol

For 4.2 I moved to BCMDHD, so any kernel besides what I've supplied won't work WiFi wise. For now, anyways.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Ok I updated the kernel a bit for some more goodies for you guys, it'll just replace the kernel binary so it'll work on any ROM using BCMDHD for the WiFi driver.

Changes:

Blocked off lulzactive as it was locking in at full speed

Added Governors:

SMARTASS2

LAGFREE

INTELLIDEMAND

SAVAGEDZEN

WHEATLEY

LAZY

SCARY

LIONHEART

Balthesaur-A100-4.2.2-V3.1.2.zip

if the kernel goes much farther I'll just release it in its own thread I guess, I didn't think it was really needed as it's included in the builds already, but one may be updated past another so I'll release occasional updates like this. As I'm still tinkering in a few other ROMs, it may be needed soon as more then a few ROMs can make finding which has the newer kernel difficult.

Side note, I'm building a new boot.img to maybe address the cache (and for me data) issues in TWRP, its just changing the tags it mounts /cache and /data with.

Edit: flashing the new boot.img fixed my data issues, so it was either a fluke, or it fixes whatever bug TWRP was having with the partitions.

Fastboot this image if you want to test it out:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Then either hold volume for recovery to test, or let it boot and:

adb reboot recovery

a100-fstab-fixed-for-twrp-boot.img

And side note number 2, for the brave, I finished a 4.2.2 PAC, but I don't have any time to test it for probably a few days, so feel free to take it for a spin and make notes here, just make sure you note that it's for PAC, not carbon. If it works alright I'll make a thread for it.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jamminjon82:
If, and only if, you are looking at other roms to compile is beanstalk a possibility? Its been pretty good to me on other devices. If not I completely understand, not really a request
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] niteh@wk:
I thought the development on this diehard tab has ceased. Thanks pio for breathing new life to it. This ROM is smooth!! A few hiccups but I don't normally use most of those features anyway.

Update:

The new boot.img fixed the cache issue in TWRP!! Your Bathelsaur kernel is working really well too! Awesome work!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Not really, I have some I work with normally so I'm familiar with their quirks, but I'll take a look as time permits :thumbup:

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Both the new boot.img and kernel are working perfectly here. The PAC build however is not getting me root access. Tried to push SuperSU on mine here via recovery with no luck at all.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
PAC is having issues with root on other devices too, not sure what's going on there. You'll need to update the binary I think too.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Harm. On carbon the stock keyboard forceclosee its self. I installed a different one and its working fine.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
I think that's a gapps thing, it doesn't do that for me but I've seen it happen on other devices with one gapps but not another.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheLoonyRebel:
Purchased Root Checker Pro to see that it tells me there's no Superuser or SuperSU. I couldn't get either one to do the binary update from the Play Store download so I grabbed their respected manual recovery install files. SuperSU errored out right away but thankfully Superuser installed perfectly. Root Checker Pro quickly gave me the permissions question upon loading which quickly tells me its working!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Sorry everyone, I've been on Hiatus for a while.

I chose to use EZT's kernel for the Cyanosaki rom for a few reasons.

1) It seems to me to be a bit more stable than the Godmachine one

2) EZTerry was one of the Pioneers for the Acer Iconia tablets and this is to pay homage to him

3) It was the base kernel in Civato's version of the rom and he was the original mastermind behind it.

4) It is pre-overclocked to 1.2GHZ which is a good balance between performance and stability without having to fart around with governors and whatnot.

Also in terms of the camera changing resolution issue, I didn't really fix it. All I did was mess around with different APKs and and libs until it cooperated. Sorry for not mentioning this to you Pio_Masaki
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
OK, so which libs got switched out with which versions? I'll just start from there.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
There's a real dev, he's learning!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] hardslog:
Well, It's a 4.2 camera in the rom, but I switched in the 4.2 camera from this mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1991734 as well as libjni_filtershow_filters.so and liblightcycle.so Those added to the rom enabled it to change resolution without crashing. Most camera mods have a modified libjni_mosaic.so too, but I kept the one from your B4 build in order to make everything work.

Dunno if that will help or not.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Might, might not, guess we'll see :highfive:

CARBON-UNOFFICIAL-20130803-a100-B2.zip

Just seeing if those lib changes help here or not, nothing else is different.

Also, quick little poll, of the HUGE number of users we have here (all 4 of you) which would you like to see me work on most, as time is very limited and I have 3 other devices I support...

Carbon (this is my favorite lol)

PAC

ReVolt

Chameleon OS

XenonHD

CM10.1

MoKee

I don't include AOKP for a couple reasons, one is how they handle themselves, and the other is Carbon, PAC and ReVolt all have ROM Control (or their name of it) and AOKP features, which makes the actual AOKP ROM the most lackluster of the selections. Besides the unicorns, of course.

I'll be dropping CM10 support and other 4.1 based ROMs for all of my devices, including this one. The tree currently builds a fully working ROM (that I know of) so unless something comes out that needs updating, I think it's in a good place to leave alone now.

For those who wish for continued CM10 support, let me know, and I'll keep the occasional fresh base coming out if [MENTION=2158597]hardslog[/MENTION] wants to continue his great CM10 work, otherwise I'll save the space on my drives and dump it.
