Overlocking? - Acer Iconia A500

The Motorola Xoom has been overclocked to 1.5 GHz. Would this be possible for the Iconia, too?

This shouldn't be posted in the development section

We need a custom kernel first, which we do not have. But I am sure it will come in time. Patience is a virtue....LOL

cant wait to overclock the tegra 2 going to be pretty epic.

Check the viewsonic gtablet forums too. They have some reasonable overclocks as well.

Android 2.3 gingerbread

Hey!
I've googled a bit and it may be just a rumor but who have also read there are technical specs like 1 ghz for gingerbread??

Gingerbread not Android 3.0 ?
Gingerbread is 2.3....Honeycomb will probally be 3.0
its in development. nobody knows anything about the needed specs for gingerbread so just wait.
there are a few rumors, 512mb ram, 1ghz processor etc. , nothing else.
These spec rumors are only rumors. There is no evidance to support this.
Google can only outline a set of recommended requirements that manufactures should follow, they may recommend a 1ghz cpu, 512mb ram etc but we will only find out for sure when they publicly release it.
There was another thread where someone asked the same question and a very good answer was given, it's in this section and was only a few days ago.

I suppose you're thinking of this thread in android development. (it should probably have been posted here in the first place).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820844
At the AOSP kernel git for gingerbread, there's a build flag for msm7227 for the 2.6.35 branch. Someone at Google may be testing it. So there's a chance that gingerbread will run okay on the Legend, albeit without official support from HTC.

Elocity a7 source? Honeycomb?

What's it gonna take to get source? Really wanna get into this. Can we use the moto xoom honeycomb source when it comes out. It should be close, its got tegra II n all...???

We can't use it cause Compal is manufacturer of eLocity A7
Different manufacturers...
But being the same Chipset, I'm sure our brilliant devs can port sumthin for us...

Honestly idk I'm not a dev but sounds like the moto xoom is very similar with honeycomb thought it could be possible hey maybe I'm way off idk...

Not sure if this helps but, anything is better than nothing. Maybe this can be used to get 3.0 on A7 in custom ROM. Wishing...
I downloaded it and it looks like it could work, not my area of expertise, maybe Dexter can give it a virtual spin.

CM9 for Xoom?

In the new blog entry, Cyanogen said about of support devices, include Asus TF and SS tab 10.1, but i couldn't see Xoom any where in his blog
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update
I hope will be ics cm9 for us
Motorola Xoom, Overclock 1.4 Ghz, Tiamat Moray
Maybe tiamat will base off of CM9
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Considering they mentionned two different Tegra 2 devices being supported, chances are really good that CM9 will also be available for the Xoom, either from the core Cyanogen devs or someone else. The only potential obstacle would be lack of hardware drivers for things like the camera or the GPS, and we know this won't be an issue since Motorola will release an official ICS update themselves.
if anyone is interested in teaming up with a dev willing to work on a port for the xoom here is a link to a thread i found by searching for xoom on the cm forums.

Qualcomm releases ICS Adreno 2xx drivers

I think this is what has been the hold up for proper GPU acceleration for the Dinc if I remember right??
I believe the Dinc has Adreno 205 so I think this is what the devs need. I wasn't sure if this should have been in the Dev section, so I put it here. Mods - if it should be there - please move accordingly.
http://phandroid.com/2012/03/17/adreno-2xx-drivers-for-ics-made-available-by-qualcomm/
Link to the Qualcomm download page that has the drivers:
https://developer.qualcomm.com/deve...phics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources
Hope it helps!
Ohhhh yeah I just saw this thread in the Inc2 forums that seems to be confirming this as well. I'm pumped
I might have to charge up my old incredible after some accelerated Rom's come out. I didn't think they were going to release them.
Will these drivers help to stabilize the ICS roms? I had to roll back to GB because of the obnoxious amount of random reboots.

It probably would help a lot I would think as if memory serves there was a ton of work-around's and tweaks to get ICS to even work on the Dinc because of lack of proper hardware acceleration. I think this would help that as the drivers would be able to handle that rather than the work-around's and tweaks.
Dinc is adreno 200. I read in the abduction ics thread that these drivers are not that new and they're already in place from vendors. Check the thread for more info. I am going to speak with the dev as I still have doubts on that.

I believe a lot of work-arounds are also because we are on an older kernel version than ICS was built around, which graphics drivers alone wont fix

From the article on phandroid, it was released on the 13th I think, right?

When I had my Dinc, Chad's ICS incredikernel was where it was at. I had weird FC's and random reboots until I used that kernel. Then again, my phone always had a boner for his kernels.

Xbmc on our device?

Xbmc was announced for Android.

Got it working on my EVO lte. But was wondering if anyone has it for a tegra processor.

I've tried a general build by h0tw1r3 in the Galaxy Note forum and it wouldn't launch on the a500. Too bad, it looks nice on the Note, but could be great on the a500.

Yeah. I have it running on my EVO lte. But it's built for arm 7 and not tegra
Sent from my EVO abc
No NEON extension -> No normal/hi profile x264.
tegra is arm? right?
I agree it doesn't run on a500 I have tried 3 roms with no success but to my knowledge the a500. Even though it is a tegra device is an arm processor, so in theory it will work, I just hope that one of our awesome developers will take a look at the apk and or compile a version that will work. Would maybe a build prop edit of some sort help? I have looked at the logcat and it says process terminated by signal 9 .... if that helps anyone.
Edited, sorry just did research and didn't realize tegra 2 didnt support neon as my transformer prime which is tegra3 did. I just hope xbmc gets hw acceleration.for tegra2 and neon is not required, until then, I am bummed out

Dont lose all hope yet one of the xbmc devs posted a suggestive photo the other day in the xbmc apk thread of what appears to be a xoom running xbmc when asked if it was a xoom in the picture he answeared maybe so still a glimmer of hope for us with tegra 2 devices :laugh: have a look for yourself http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29189405&postcount=237 original comment is on page 23 then the response is on page 24
