[Q] Xoom / Transformer kernel - Acer Iconia A500

Hypothetically, would xoom/ tranformer kernel work in a500?
If we didnt have a locked bootloader?

Probably not.
Different manufacturers would probably require different kernals.

Ne one got our kernel's source?

As far as I know, ours isn't out yet.
I seem to recall something about one of the transformer and one of the iconia kernels being the same though, so it's possible that their source tree is close enough to run on ours.

Not necessarily true. I know for a fact that the kernels for the Notion Ink Adam, G-Tab, Advent Vega and maybe another device or two can be shared with almost no changes. And the required changes only make hardware buttons work or not (GPS to in the case of the G-Tab if I remember correctly).

i also remember reading that the transformer and the iconia use the same kernel. is there anyone who can look into this? i wish i was smart enough to know what to do or how to help.

yes its the same kernel but some modules like gps wifi ect are probably different

yeah... even the leaked HC 3.1 for the transformer showed the HC 3.1 is using similar kernel as our

What android version is it based off? Or are they starting from scratch with an HC base? In which case, won't they need the source code?
Or is bonsai a modified stock rom?
i dont need a signature

According to there site they are starting from a stock w/root US-8.4.4.5. Not sure which kernel. I'll ask one of the devs. The two main devs are Randy_t and Mammon.

dang mammon responded pretty fast to my pm.
He said it would be a bonsai kernel with init.d support. But was not sure about OC yet.
Hope these guys get it together.. that would be cool.

Yup, can't wait to try it out. Mammon said he has a 60% speed and performance increase WITHOUT any overclocking of sorts.
I believe it, because my Epic FLIES with their roms. And to boot, gets amazing battery life.

Info voodoo source out v

Hey all, did not see this posted anywhere...if it was forgive and delete...voodoo for our beloved transformer...

Its based on 3.0.1 sources. Need asus to release new kernel source from the 3.0.1 update.

Ok the market app is out in the market. It sideloads the sound modules so it looks like it's good to go for all versions.

supercurio was working with clemsyn on obtaining the source that clemsyn used to make a custom kernel for 3.1. So no, we do not need to wait on ASUS to release the source. ASUS does need to release it though, it would make things easier. You could see supercurio working on trying to obtain it in his kernel thread.

Pretty much no settings for the Transformer. However it was like that when i first bought it for my Galaxy Tab, so rest assured that everything will come.

so does it make a big improvement?
Yes it makes a huge difference I have always used sc kernel on my galaxy s and the sound is phenomenal compared to stock, the recording presets also make a big difference, however the app does little on the tf for the moment but it wI'll come in time

Yes. Almost every Nexus S custom kernel includes Voodoo.
bought. Worth it for sure. Any chance of an equalizer being built in or are there other apps for it?

[Q] Asus based ROM

Dear developers, I've decided to create a poll so people could vote.
I have been using Asus based Picasso rom, upgrading kernel from time to time. I'm still on 1.0.8 (Thor kernel) because IMHO its the best and most stable Tom around for my tablet.
I've tried xoom, galaxy, thrive and stock acer Rome but rolled back to this lovely Asus based one.
Moar = More
I chose "No" because in my opinion, Xoom is the best but I have not test the Thrive for the moment.
I'm still using the ROM mentioned above just because of browser sync, for example.

You do know you can inject the browser from your VP ROM into any other ROM before install correct?
I just went back to this rom after using xoom for a week, for me this is one Rom that I can live with whatever the issue is ( freezing when coming out of standby). M-Deejay said transformer will have its own Rom which is not under VP and it will be based on 3.2.
I actually loved the Asus based 1.0.8 and was torn between that and galaxy. I was rather annoyed when Asus base was dropped after 1.0.8. the Acer base 1.10 was very very quick and stable. When Asus based bombed out with unity v4 I just stuck with galaxy port. When Asus release 3.2 I am sure we will have another virtuous Picasso to play with. I did use Asus 1.0.8 with Thor beta 2 and yes it was electric. Still is and while awaiting galaxy update might use Asus base with Thor kernel again. Would be nice to see unity v9 for Asus base Picasso rom. Lol

I vote yes as I actually used it for a very long time till updates stopped.

I liked them for the fact you could use an asus based theme. Seeing as how themes are a bit lacking for our beloved acer, it's a nice option.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! Vote please, maybe some developers might pay some more attention to Asus based ROM.
Asus base was the first thing I flashed when I got my a500. Had a very good experience with it, before experimenting with other roms.

+1 For Asus rom!
Is ASUS based rom fully compatible with ACER material ?
I want to change rom because I have problem when I put my tablet (still in 3.0) in sleep mode and come back.

I don't have the update.zip saved anywhere unfortunately, because I deleted the image after flashing. I've got it installed and running though, also made a backup to roll back if I don't like any new rom.
Maybe you might PM mDj to send u a link.

True. I'm also using Thor's kernel 1.1: epic combo IMHO.
I'm glad somebody decided to do a poll like this. I'm hoping to get an Iconia in the next month or so, but I would really like a Transformer port and I can't seem to find one here. I've played with the Thrive, XOOM, and Galaxy, but I really like the elements included in the Transformer more (widgets, ice cube, and office app to name a few). Hopefully when I can finally get my hands on one, an option will present itself.

With the Asus 3.2 out today we will hopefully have a new Asus Picasso to play with. Mdj hinted that when new stuff is released we will get updates.

Acer A500 port?

Will this be even remotely possible?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Not really. Something could probably be hacked together similar to what was done to the Honeycomb SDK, but until we get HC/ICS source code its going to be very lacking.
better off waiting for ICS source code to be released. porting anything honeycomb is not gonna work
From what I gather, it wont help because its tegra based, so the drivers and acceleration are desinged around a different CPU and GPU than what's in the NC. From the reviews I read about HC devices, it just seems like HC isn't very well optimized, as even the tegra2 systems can have occasional lag.
Got it. Thanks for the replies guys.

Any overclock kernel support flexreaper ics?

I am looking to over clock my a500 with the flexreaper rom. I have searched for kernels time and time again and all I can find is working for HC not ics.

Not at this time. It requires Acer to release kernel source which I don't believe they have yet. Then, the Devs will have to work with it.
I'm sure it will happen soon though. Acer started to release ICS Official updates to the 500, but stopped after 2 days as it was bricking a lot of tablets.
Your best bet, is Civato's "tweaked" kernel. Isn't OC'd, but gives better performance.
