After Plants v Zombies released on the Amazon app store I was happy (that it released and was free) then sad (BC it didn't work on any rom I was running) then happy-ish (b/c I found that it ran on VEGan v1.0 b5.1). This rollercoaster of happiness drove me to make the game work on a froyo rom I like enough to run froyo.
Anyway, if you like PvZ AND can/do/want to run a BL1.1 Froyo ROM, this kernel could be for you. I can't tell you much about it because i didn't compile it, I just extracted it from VEGAn b5.1 and packaged it up with wifi driver's into koush's AnyKernel update.zip format. I have installed over a handful of froyo Roms with great success (I have run it the longest on a derivative of Calkulin's rom). I have not had any noteworthy issues. I have not tried it on anything other than Froyo.
Warnings: Use at your own risk, backup first, know how to nvflash, etc.
What this does: Replaces your gTab kernel with one that (among other things) runs Plants v. Zombies without the dreaded freeze every two minutes.
To install: Flash zip file with CWM, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot.
Tips: Set wifi to never sleep.
NB: I think this goes without saying, but if you are on a vanilla VEGAn b5.1 then there is no need for this.
UPDATE: This kernel can experience the "Sleep of Death" issue where the tablet won't wake properly form sleep. A couple things to avoid that are:
1. After installing the kernel format cache, dalvik, and run fix permissions (all within CWM).
2. Make sure you are running a ROM that was not installed over another, ie. you have done a data wipe at some point after installing the custom ROM you are currently on. Restoring user apps and data with TB is fine, but a full data partition restore with CWM from another ROM can cause big issues.
3. Press the power button a little longer (maybe a 250-500 ms) rather than just a tap, and then wait a few seconds before pressing again.
4. Use power control widget or something similar and just toggle off wifi when you aren't using the tab for a long time (it saves battery too).

UPDATE 7/4:
Peggle, another Popcap title has the same issues. It works flawlessly on this kernel. Pershoot is looking into the issues (thanks pershoot!) soon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15282076&postcount=1597).
Good work, Ramerco,
Always enjoyed reading your posts, as well as from a few great non-dev posters as TEK112, goodintentions, tjevans, etc . . .
BTW, PvZ is running fine on Beasty. It is a fun and hard to beat.

really? no freezing? even on more complex levels? what is the kernel (you can see it from the about device/about tablet settiings page)
VEGAn 5.1 Froyo has a pershoot 1.1bl kernel that was compiled back in December. Is this really the only kernel that works, not even newer pershoot 1.1bl kernels? I wonder what was changed in the newer versions?
I've never used that game - I heard it's just as addicting as Angry Birds so I've avoided it like the plague.
yeah, not even pershoots first released standalone kernel from January works. I have no idea what's different. maybe it is from before the nvidia 10.9.9 stuff he mentions in his kernel thread.
FYI PvZ is fine on 3588, and so is Samaraui (another game people complanin about not running well on some ROMs). Stock isn't sexy or cool, but when I'm actually using a full-screen App I can't tell the difference between ROMs anyways.

Funny that it works well on 3588. When I was testing, I may have only tested 4349 stock. But now I can't really remember. I actually really like the TnT status bar and the wifi and battery widgets in it. I also really like the Home screen and the settings app even though the settings is missing a few key things (you can always temporarily swap to stock settings for those). My point is, I like the stock-ish rom, but I also like to have root and long press Home to switch apps.

To answer Roebeet's and potentially other's question,
This is the only bootloader 1.1 kernel for Froyo that works for Plants vs. Zombies. All others freeze shortly after game launch that I've tested.
I tested the last 2 released versions of BL 1.1 (& BL 1.2 as well) kernels from pershoot or clemsyn of Froyo, GB, & HC kernels with adjacent 1.1 or 1.2 Android ROMs just for the heck of it--> all PvZ fail blog entries for me.
Someone in another forum mentioned BoS HC 3.3 PvZ working, but it didn't work for me. I sure wish it did.
Here's what Froyo ROM's work with the PvZ Kernel:
VEGAn-tab 5.1.1 bl1.1--> PvZ success & Roebeet Netflix fix works too
Calkulin-Clemsyn v.5 bl1.1 -->PvZ success- fastest gameplay & not working Roebeet Netflix fix
TnT lite 4.4.0 Froyo bl1.1--> PvZ success & not working Roebeet Netflix fix
Peggle has the same issue with other kernels. OP Updated to reflect. Popcap must have some crazy code stuff going on.

I just nflashed back to BL1.1 and installed VEGAn-Tab 5.1 and then the 5.1.1 supplement. All the animations just show up as black blocks, is there something I'm doing wrong. I tried it both before and after installing flash 10.3, don't know if that matters.
Had that happen once or twice. Just kill the process and try again. The game uses tons of memory, suoometimes works better when you kill background apps. I know android is supposed to be great with mem mansagment, but it seems like some things run better wghen you kill background memory hogging apps.

I cant seem to get any roms to load; when i choose a rom the screen goes blank for a second and then goes back to the rom selection menu. Yes I have tried many many different roms and bios files. and Yes i did have them in the right format. running CM6 test 8. Anybody have any idea what the problem is?
the problem is it is a known fact that psx4droid doesnt work on test 8... try a different rom and try again

same here. Only ones I've been able to get "working":
- FF7: runs perfectly
- Tekken3: runs, but very slow
- Metal Gear Solid: boots up the main menu, but nothing after that
- Silent Hill: graphics a lil buggy, stops working after needing to load a new scene
try loading the new leaked 08/01/10 rom, i tried that and it runs fine on mine... eboot pbp roms seem to run a little bit faster than other filetypes.

PSX4DROID is NOT compatible with Cyanogenmod-6 Test builds (This will likely be fix in future builds).
I've installed many different ROMS, the only ones that work is Cyanogenmod-6 Nightly builds.
But I stopped using Cyanogenmod-6 for HTC Incredible since Test#8 and since nightly build 7-28-10.
I love the idea that you can use the Wii remote controller to control the emulators, but in its current state, it's too buggy.
Switching to the leaked froyo (leaked on 8/1/10) is probably best, if you don't care for the option to use the Wii remote controller as a bluetooth device.

Yeah, you'll need to update your radio. Therefore, your Baseband version will be upgraded to 2.05.00.06.11.
Regarding the nightly build, I believe the last one I used was 7-27-10. (From: http://droidfiend.com/roms/htc-incredible/cyanogenmod-6/ OR http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/inc/)
Did you make sure that your PSX4DROID has a BIOS file?

Since you did not mention anything about keeping Bluetooth controller support, I suggest upgrading to the leaked OTA (Froyo ROM). Which would mean updating your radio...
OR, wait a bit cuz HTC is planning to release the official Froyo update but you gottta be careful with that as it will unroot your phone.
The problem is that we're talking about two different ROMs here. The people that are saying use a different ROM are talking about the build on your phone. PSX4Droid doesn't work with CM6 yet.
Try SkyRaider or the 8/1 Leak.
PSX4Droid works well on the 8-1 leak. You shouldn't run it without updating your radio first, though.
Also, if you use a ZeeMote or an MSI BGP100, you can use a bluetooth remote with an HTC Sense phone. You just only have those two choices. Drivers are available in the market. It's called GamePro.

Awesome man
Nice...going to give this a try later tonight...been waiting for your release Glad to see you've come over to the gTab...love all of your prior work and I'm sure I'll love your gTab work. Thanks!
Just a quick question...since this is based on 3991, it's probably not going to need the TNT enhancement pack since VS incorporated most XDA gTab fixes in that release, right? Just a curiosity thing...I wasn't planning on installing it at first, but maybe later down the road to test...thanks for everything you do
Download complete. I hope you enjoy the beer, I know I will be when I sit down with a cold one tonight and give your handywork a runthrough. Thanks.
Wow, this rom sure looks tweaked. Ill try it for a while and see the benchmark and other things. XD
If mac address spoof is abled, it might be my new best rom. Tnx for all the work.
D/L right now ... Will install when off work
Thanks Calkulin
incredible rom. Very fast and also good looking. 2250 of benchmark which is very good.
Thanks Calkulin! Downloading and trying it now.
Downloading now.
so is it pretty? lol..
WOOHOO!!!
Glad to see you're developing ROMs for gTab!!
I love your work on the EVO!
Your Format All pkg makes my life soooo much easier!!
Will report back ASAP.
Thanks!
EDIT: Can't download, invalid file on Mediafire and same on Mega Upload???
Its a good rom, but titanium is not working with it, keeps fc.
There is a bug with the contacts also, it has some white lines under sme of them, if not most.

Well, aside from it powering down when I put it in sleep mode about an hour ago, very nice ROM...it's extremely responsive, snappy, and I love the boot animation, although it's kinda decieving, lol. You have a sort of honeycomb looking boot animation and even though I knew it wasn't honeycomb I started getting excited, lol. Great ROM yet again calkulin. Thanks

WARNING: TRYING TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR VIEWSONIC MAY LEAVE THE DEVICE IN A BRICKED STATE. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE NVFLASH BEFORE TRYING THIS INCASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG AND YOU NEED OR WANT TO GO BACK TO THE VIEWSONIC STOCK TNT ROM.
What we offer here is a new way to keep you in full control of your tablet. Our 1.8 Honeycomb Kernel offers Speed, Reliability, and new added features. This kernel is a spin off of the Pershoot Honeycomb Kernel Source Code & want to thank Pershoot for all his work on the kernel already. You do not have to Flash your device or even update to a different ROM to feel the benefits of the Linux Box Solution Honeycomb Kernel...
Updating to the Linux Box Solution Honeycomb Kernel couldn't be easier. No wiping of User/Data is necessary. If you are already running a Honeycomb ROM then your good to go. This kernel was designed for Tegra 2, Harmony Board based devices. The LBS 1.8 Honeycomb Kernel has only been tested on a Viewsonic Gtablet. If any other developers with the Specified Tegra 2 & Harmony Board based devices wants to give this Overclocked Powerhouse a try please give me your feedback once you have tested it out.
Features as of Version 3.2:
Increased Kernel Cache Sizes from 256kb to 512kb
Improved Stability
Overclocking (Kernel is Overclockable to 1.4Ghz)
USB Mass Storage ( If your favorite Honeycomb ROM doesn't offer USB Mass Storage drop this Kernel in and Full Support is there)
Improved Video Play (480P Plays, Not sure about 720P but 1080P Does Not Work)

Linus Torvald Repo: http://android.git.kernel.org/platform/kernel/tegra.git
Pershoot Repo: https://github.com/pershoot/gtab-2632.git
For anyone in doubt or wondering. This Kernel has been fully updated with Pershoot's source code from his 7/2 update. Next changes to the source code are taken from Linus Torvalds Repo Source to help merge Pershoot's and Torvalds Source to make a more efficiently running Kernel.

1. Download the zip file for the Kernel Version you want to the Root of your SDCARD Partition.
2. Rename file to update.zip
3. Reboot Tablet into Recovery Mode (When Tablets Off hold 'Power' Button and 'Volume +' Button at Same time till Recovery Mode is Shown On Screen)
4. Using Volume -/+ to navigate the Clockwork Mod Menu go to apply /sdcard/update.zip
5. Once Installation of New Kernel is done Reboot the Tablet & Enjoy your newly found Feature Set and Performance Improvements
aww what the hell i'll give it a go...currently running BoS 6.0 and it's smooth...I'll post back with Quadrent scores for those who care about them.
Updated: well it might be me but the lockscreen seems more responsive, Video plays about the same but im in Rockplayer, Quadrant was 2677 using Quadrant Advanced. Kepp up the work guys.
Update: Ok well been playing with it and just found out No WIFI here. it won't pick up any signel...this might be just me but so far Reboot + turning wifi off and back on did not fix it i'm going to wipe cache and see if it resoves it.
Update: as of right now the Update did not fix the problem nor did wiping cache/data...Going back to my nandriod and i'll watch for updates.
Also i'm using a static setup with WEP Security if that helps...it shows my old connections but won't connect or find new ones.
Awesome please do but if you haven't yet try the updated version.
I had an exchange with you on slatedriod about "your" new kernel. You admitted that it is based on per shoots old GB codebase with your new wiz bang improvements. Why don't you say that here and say that this kernel is an L BS modified version of his kernel. You must just be looking for donations for the work of others?
you're going to continue updating illuminate with this right?
how have you improved playback of video in this kernel? is the improvement rom agnostic?
WiFI Issues
Well I was having intermittent WiFi problems with Illuminate until I flashed this Kernel, now I am just getting an error when I try to connect to WIFI.

Try the latest pershoot GB kernel. And/or try the Flashback of BoS roms
Hi Everybody,
I need some help. I installed this rom into my malata zpad. First opening, there was no problem but after restarting, touchscreen was not worked.
I reinstalled, but same problem was occurred. My touchscreen is not working, only back and home button, which are physical button, are working.
What can I do?
I noticed this behavieur with the latest Version before I hadn´t any problems
I read today that this is Pershoot's latest + cm7 modules. No changelogs, no submissions to github. I read in the rules here something about "don't do anything to get us in trouble". To me this kernel looks like something that might do just that.
I loaded this kernal on top of illuminate yesterday. Couldn't determine if this was already part of the rom or another update to the kernal. In any event it did add some pep to it. Haven't figured out all the improvements yet. It did however mesh nicely with illuminate.
For the record I think this kernel is only compatible with illuminate and bos. Flashing this or clemsyns ver11 onto Flashback breaks the wifi.

No, it is working well. Thanks dev we appreciate all your work. Been driving this one around for a few days to see what was different -- speed. Still investigating but don't stop because you are the only HC dev that works on the kernal and the rom itself we definitely need more like you. Looking forward to your next works!
Kernel source needs provided as per GPL. All this looks like is a rebranding of someone else's kernel - to dispel that belief please provide source and changes or else this will be removed as it would be in violation of the rules.

He would need a 'first' work to have any 'next' works. Someone who actually took the time to research a little web history might find that the guy is merely a thief of others' ideas and work. They might find that the guy also has multiple usernames and accounts on various threads, in different forums, and actually "talks to himselves" in those threads. They also might find that the guy is also pretty much clueless, and would have exactly a 0.0% chance of developing his own kernel.
I'm not saying they would, I'm just saying they might.
I'd run stock on my Gtab before I ever TOUCHED this.
Just sayin.
By the way, 'eDirector'...In no way was I implying that you could be just another one of linuxboxsolution's 'NPC's.

When I posted in the other thread, I did mention that I didn't know the history - I suppose this is the "other" thread that some had mentioned?
Again, I haven't delved into this kernels and mods, and I do agree mostly with what tlbardelljr had written - "stealing" is a very gray area here. Most of my own ROMs are just mash-ups of other people's work that I tried to make into something more usable for me, and possibly the community.
But, I usually try to give credit also. If I'm using pershoot's ROM, I document that. If I'm using gojimi's framework changes for Brilliant Corners, I give him a nod. If I'm using the Adam HC base for BoS, I give them a nod as well. It's not only good manners, but it's also part of the rules here. If you're going to take, you should give credit. It's not rocket science.
I am not saying that's what's going on here - I haven't looked into these allegations, myself. But jerdog had commented two days ago and I think his comment is not only valid but it's something that needs to be responded to by the OP. That would certainly answer the question and put this to rest.

Hello Guys i have a problem. I cant Overclock Lightspeed 1.0.6 and i was not having a problems with 1.0.4 version ? Why is this happening ? Is it only me ? Before I was Abe to go up to 1.6 and now the max Freq is native (1GHz). Im using SetCpu to overclock.....
Oh and i didn't want to make another topic so i will ask you here? Is there a possible Way to play Gameloft Games with XBOX 360 controller or Mouse ? I can play with X360 controller with the emulators.....
Lightspeed 1.0.6 comes with a stock kernel which doesn't support overlocking. In other words, you need to flash a new kernel to allow overclocking. Try richardtrip's kernel here. Just flash the same way as a ROM, only wiping the cache and dalvik cache first. My only annoyance by doing this with Lightspeed is the way the kernel handles external hard drives. With the stock kernel, it would automatically mount as USB Storage as soon as it's plugged in. When using richardtrip's kernel, you need to use an app called Drive Mount (found on the market) and it will only automatically mount if the drive is plugged in while booting (as long as you configure it to do so). Also, it won't come up as USB Storage - instead, it mounts to /mnt/sda1 and /sda1 if you set the symlink in Drive Mount. Thought I might point that out.
As far as using your 360 controller or mouse in Gameloft games - I don't think it's possible. The games aren't programmed to support them. I could be wrong, though. There might be a third-party app or some way to remap the default controls. I haven't really looked into it, but I'm doubting it's possible. Emulators for systems such as MAME or SNES do support controllers, however. Edit: guess you already knew that second part

This is true, however I wouldn't endorse it. Thor doesn't release the source code, which is in direct violation of the GPL. Just sayin...
I agree with thor's kernel. Use it and love it and while he may not release the "source code". He will help you with any issue you have and that is a big plus in my book.

Same here. For what ever reason he dont release it; i dont really care. But he is always very prompt with reply, when you ask him any question. Do the best to help you. Or update kernel quickly when problem or inefficiencies are reported.
Let's not rehash the fued
+1 on Thor's Kernels and his support for them. And the Transformer Port to the 500 is pretty slick also.
For the Lightspeed Rom, I believe you need Thor's version 3.9 kernel "stock", the one tagged as "the rest" are for the really custom roms.
(first post after floating around here for a couple weeks since getting my a500)
I'm running Lightspeed with thor's kernel, oc'd (using cpu master free i think off the top of my head) to ~1.4ghz -- running very nicely
Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, I really don't know what to call this or the best keyword to describe it; I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi only and have tried out a few builds of ICS (one from CM9 and the other AOSK or whatever it is). I have even tried the latest build (33) and still have this problem. I had a Comic Reader app where if I swipe up or down, it would change the comics (left and right would change the comic by date). There seemed to be a problem where I'd swipe up and it would think I was swiping horizontally instead. It was driving me crazy.
The best way I can describe a test would be:
Download Temple Run (game that you must swipe up, down, left and right). Try beating the first level. It was impossible for me to beat because I would try to swipe up and it would go down or left instead, etc. Just really off... anyone else have this issue?
This is the only thing that is hindering my tablet from having ICS; I could care less for the camera, my phone's camera is 100x's better anyways....
thanks!
i have that problem to i am using pershot builds
Same issues here with Temple Run (pershoots latest build)
I have similar problems in F18 Carrier Landing game. In the menu, my touches and gestures seem to be interpreted randomly and so are they in-game...
No solution known to me though...
I also noticed this.
It's a ICS issue or the ROMs aren't 100% compatible touchscreen drivers.
Expect issues with the ICS you're using.. why? its because all of them are in beta.
Oh I know that there will be issues; I was just posting to see if others were having the same problem and/or if there were any possible solutions available. Hopefully the developers are aware of the problem and will fix it in upcoming releases, if at all possible. At least I know mine isn't the only one doing it. I could care less about the camera working, but this off-swiping makes me go back to HC for the time-being.

Try the latest build from pershoot http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/ (after flashing, you have to replace the boot.img). Temple Run works fine now.
Thanks! I will definitely try it. But one thing, what do you mean by "replace the boot.img"?
Edit: Hmmm I must be missing something, I keep getting the "assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") bla bla bla. Restoring previous ROM, too tired to think for now... I'll check back here later... thanks!

Replacing the boot.img is no longer necessary, now you have to flash the ICS of your preference (just use a recent build, the one in http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/ is ok.) and the new kernel in pershoot's blog: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ (direct link for the ics kernel for the p4wifi (26/04/12) http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/ker....4_p4wifi_ics-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-042612.zip ). This may not be always necessary if the build you're flashing already has the latest kernel.
About the assert failed, you need to flash a new recovery (cwm) via Odin, use this one: http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm9/p4wifi/
SWEET!!! Thanks so much!!
I was able to follow your instructions to the letter (sort of) and I can play Temple Run without a hitch! It was driving me crazy trying to browse through the comics in Comic Reader.
I said "sort of" because I installed the recovery image, and flashed the ICS rom, but forgot to flash pershoots kernel. When I tested the Temple Run, it was doing the same weird touch issues. I was about to give up when I realized I didn't install the kernel. Installed the kernel, and sparks flew! Well, Temple Run was completely playable! So it appears that installing pershoot's latest kernel is what made the difference. So for those who are having similar issues, follow Maple Syrup's directions.
Thanks again Maple!!
I had the same problem with Shadowgun. The latest pershot kernel sorted it!
