I saw recently that the wonderful Supercurio released Voodoo Sound for the Asus Transformer. He is especially passionate about the audio technology used by the Transformer (Wolfson), which is also in the Acer Iconia.
I wonder if the same Voodoo Sound kernel could be used...if not I wonder if Supercurio is even interested in the Acer?
Seems that Acer does not get much attention compared to Samsung/HTC etc.
I'm trying to decide between the A500 and the Transformer and since I want a device that can be used for many things including high quality music, it would be good to know if developers like Supercurio had any intentions of supporting the A500?
I'm a huge fan of flashing ROM's/Kernels and continually improving the capabilities and lifespan of my mobile gadgets, but if there's not the same developer focus then it makes the buying decision easier, right?
Thanks.
my thoughts:
as long as we get no kernel source (which is said to come out soon) Asus has the advantage..
but i think Acer has extras above the Asus platform..
and i see now many like the "dolby" audio feature, where asus failed with audio alot..
but its a matter of taste and view on hardware and its brand support.
Asus got the keyboard thingy which some find useful.
Acer got the device+host usb ports , which many find useful for attaching hdd's directly.
but for pure development full utilization.. Asus got the advantage right now.
Dolby sounds pretty good imo.... im loving my a500 i dont like an entire plastic pad thats why i decided against the asus eee

Voodoo Sound is based on the Wolfson hardware audio chip. Unless A500 uses the same chip, it is not possible to implement to A500 (which Galaxy S II is already ruled out because of not using the same chip).

Yup - the Acer has the Wolfson chipset....
Thanks for replies to date. I've sent Supercurio and email asking if he's going to develop for the Acer since someone mentioned the kernel source dropped?
Still on the fence with the Acer......they seem reluctant to release code and that makes developers stay the heck away. Without a strong developer presence the device is of course quickly a dodo.

Not exactly voodoo, but I have made a patch to raise the max volume from 57 to 60 for the headphones (I think we can push even further and want someone to test. but at least now I can hear my porta pros) and speaker from 55 to 57 (I think 58-59 is the limit after which distortion happens)

Voodoo on rooted A500?
I tried voodoo control plus on my rooted (with Thor 14.2) A500 and no go- kernel didn't support loading the module. So whatever the DAC in the A500 may have in common with the Transformer, voodoo couldn't avail itself of it. Shame too as I would have loved the functionality and bought the app if it did.

Has there been any developments in Voodoo Sound for the A500?
Been using your products since the Galaxy S1, sadly missed on the S2 :-(
If i knew how to code I'd attempt it myself lol
Any updates/interest on the A500 support either in HC or ICS? Would be very much appreciated. I'd definitely be a VooDoo Plus purchaser if the platform were supported (either stock or custom)
There are no plans for Voodoo on the A500.

Hi....so what is the stand of Acer related to us getting 3.2 ?
I hope the won't just update to 3.2 but also improve a lot a bugs related specifically to this tablet, for example rotation time....while using Virtuous Galaxy, one can tell this ain't hardware related but software related....
VG rom rotates sooooo much a faster than Acer roms that you can actually dare to rotate it..ans show friends how it handles it!
GPS also works poorly for me.
Well ....any comments or news?
Happy to know more of this 3.2 Honeycomb release!
Enviado desde mi A500 usando XDA Premium App
As it's coming for the Transformer soon, I expect iconia tab to follow shortly...
The core 3.2 drop from Google isn't exactly that feature rich (just a few font/sizing smoothing and SD card improvements) - Offical 3.2 release notes - so I'm with you in hoping for some general performance improvements from ACER directly.
Overall I'm not really waiting for 3.2 (at least not as much as I was for the 3.0 > 3.1 update) - that might change if Acer actually notified the community more about *what* they are doing in their releases - most of the time the only way to find what's changed is by poking around the update file after it's dropped.
I know it's for sure too early talk about (and a bit off topic too), but while I think that 3.2 will come for both A500 and A501, I'm quite worried about the timing. I'm new to Acer devices (only have HTC Desire as a cell phone). To the ones who has other Acer devices: what's their "support lifetime"?
And, another fear is (again, too early to say) about 4.0: I hope we will be covered but... again, who knows about their support duration?

I've already made up my mind not to upgrade to a quad when it comes out. Duo is enough for me for now. The acer and gtab should last me for a while.
3.2 is for 7" tablet.. so why look for it?
expand/minimise window is nice , but 3.2? i think 3.1.1 would have be ok.
acer will not deliver anything good with 3.2, just resized window, what a fracking breakthrough..
well there is one part of the update that looks helpful: and that is the extended micro SD support. Meaning my music apps might actually be able to properly utilize my card.

I wouldn't worry too much. 4.0 will apparently be open sourced, like with 2.x, so rom builders can put together proper roms for the device rather than just modified versions of existing roms. 4.0 will come the iconia one way or another.

Are you saying that 4.0 will require Tegra3 and/or quad core? Is this official or just your speculation?
Sent from my A501 using XDA App
I agree that 3.2 is a minor update. However, if Asus and Moto are pumping it out I doubt that Acer will not follow suit. They already dropped the price to match the Asus so I have to believe they are keeping a close eye on the competition.
4.0 IceCream Sandwich is obviously the big update for the end of the year and really I'm thinking the a500 would be getting it. Probably not right at launch but fairly soon after. I'm of the opinion that Android has done a pretty good job of pumping out updates frequently and that keeps the carriers/manufacturers pretty loose with the hardware upgrade cycles. Meaning, unless there is a hardware limitation, I would bet the a500 gets the update since it has not been out that long. In the long run, even if it doesn't officially come from Acer, I'm sure the devs cook up some 4.0 goodness for us.

This is my first Acer so I can't speak on lifetime, but the joy of Android, I'll guess long after Acer has moved on to the next tablet (A600 ?) - there will still be some resourceful people here releasing custom ROM updates including whatever neat updates including in the next tablet generation - but I'll put money down that their support model will be slightly longer than most carriers and their phones.
well I'm in no rush for it and wasn't in a rush for 3.1 only thing I would like is for better gps

CM 9 Progress Update
We’ve been hard at work on CM9 since Google released Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) into the wild last month, and things are slowly starting to come together. Google did a great job with ICS and added some really awesome features which in some cases replace or deprecate functionality that we had in CM7, so we are reevaluating all of our customizations. A number of devices are already up and running with CM9, and the focus is currently on getting as many devices ready as we can. The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos. We also have some Tegra2 tablets in the pipeline such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Asus Transformer. Our goal is to provide continued support to all CM7 devices back to the QSD8250 series of devices such as the Nexus One. I don’t want to make any promises at this time, but that is the plan. And sorry Droid1 owners, we’re dropping support for you. Time to upgrade
There are a number of challenges that we are up against. Google has made some pretty major changes to the Android framework that break compatibility with older proprietary camera and graphics drivers in order to achieve some pretty insane performance, but I am confident that the team will be able to overcome these issues like we have in the past.
For those of you who like to build CM from source yourself, you probably know that the spin-up time when starting a CM7 build is absurdly long due to the high number of devices in our repository. Koush and Arcee have put together a solution to this problem that adds new devices on-demand to your local repository, saving on both bandwidth and the long startup time. Some other great enhancements are coming too, like a completely overhauled music app, a new file manager, and a new launcher based on stock 4.0.
If you have a Nexus S, you can check out the code and build for yourself today. More devices are on the way, and I’ll send out these status updates as we make more progress

Its Vanilla ICS. Most stable best battery life and best performance.
You have to try it to actually realize the differance. Which is like day and night

It'll be interesting to see what the difference is. CM is usually better than stock firmware sure so being as lean and cut-back as possible while still adding in extremely useful features.
Asus have done a great job of keeping their firmware bloat-free though, so it may not be too different, performance-wise. The biggest advantage will probably come from extended support. Asus probably won't upgrade the TF101 past 4.0 - having CM pretty much ensures that it will get every version of Android in the future so long as somebody is interested in getting it running.

A lot of the "bloat" Asus has added is incredibly useful. Polaris Office is really nice, and unavailable if Asus didn't include it. Same with Supernote, which is pretty good for free. Splashtop, again, expensive software included for free.
The **** I hate is them bundling things like Netflix... it's freely available on the market, and only available in select regions, why on earth would you bundle that?

Considering, from a hardware standpoint, how similar the Note and the 7.7 are, has anyone thought to maybe make a Honeycomb 3.2 ROM for the Note based off of a 7.7 build?
Can this be done? What are the implications? What are the technical hurdles? Is it worth it?
Thoughts and comments appreciated, and perhaps developer intrigue would be a bonus!

Yes it is!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Exactly my point! Since the 7.7, specifically the P6800, (which I own btw and it is fantastic) is a fully functioning phone in every respect, why couldn't we make a Note compatible port of its ROM?
I mean, I'm sure that once the Note does officially receive ICS, it'll be 5 minutes before someone here changes the DPI setting so that we'll effectively have full blown tablet ICS running on the Note, which is going to be awesome of course! But who knows how long that will take before we actually get ICS?
Hence my whole reasoning behind creating this post in the first place.
With Honeycomb running on the 7.7, you really do have the best of both worlds; you have a true tablet (I say this because, having used both devices, I really feel that the Note is more of a huge phone than a small tablet), and it just so happens that that tablet can double as your phone! Brilliant!
Thus, I think it would be awesome to bring Honeycomb (assuming it's even possible) to the Note. You would be able to take advantage of native hardware acceleration for the UI, as well as getting the benefit of a full tablet OS on your device, and all without sacrificing your ability to make and receive normal phone calls and SMS/MMS.
The ics Cyano ROM came about only after a leak. I doubt we will see a leak of HC as all efforts of Samsung are on the ics. And no developer would build from scratch a ROM with the ics a few weeks.
Cool idea but it will not happen.
OTOH I would love to see ics parts transferred to out GB . Gmail and browser, but they are depending on kernel, so that will not happen either.

True, but the CM9 ROM for the Note is an AOSP build, which is why so many things aren't working, due to hardware driver issues and such.
With a potential HC 3.2 port from the 7.7, considering the hardware similarities, that could be maybe easier and quicker to do? I'm not a dev, so I don't know... That's kinda why I was hoping for some thoughts and opinions from a ROM cooker or dev.
Here's to hoping!
Not worth it. Honeycomb is dead, and all tablets will get ICS. It's a waste of time, and we should concentrate on ICS.

Don't flame me but from what I'm reading from credible android police, the og tab is eligible for an ics upgrade meaning its possible OFFICIALLY but its up to carrier. Now thats what i deduce from what i read, i just know if they are referring to the Gtab 2.I could be reading it wrong though. Any one willing to weigh in?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
Well ayysir, I read it the same way. Some notes, though:
The GTab 7 version 2 already comes with ICS. There is no reason to make a press release about that. Also, given that Samsung has provided ICS ROMs does not mean they will actually surface as well.
This does increase the chances of official ICS on our devices very much. Lol, I think no one was expecting them to actually deliver (in the end) on the promise they made at launch time (GB and HC/ICS support)...
Curious, funny and already useless due to CM9 already being better than whatever Samsung might have released. Sorry to say but I think this is too little too late. Good find though.
The puritans ( who never flash or root devices :-D ) will probably have a field day, for sure. We might end up ripping stuff from it like proprietary code (codecs anyone?) and bundled apps as well, since that would be legal after proper release, but that's just not really that interesting anymore...
This might also clear out Samsung's reputation on failing to provide proper device support. What do you think?
C.
I call a miss print. Samsung have said there will be no ics for our tab. Samsung Canada aren't gonna make one themselves. someone just didn't have their thinking cap on when they typed up the list.
Would be nice to be proven wrong, but I'm sure I won't be.

The device launched LAST THURSDAY...
Competent developers take time to test and polish their stuff, they don't just throw random crap out into the wild to claim "first".
The only reason the N8000 is ahead right now is because it had about a week headstart in availability.
I can tell you at least two Cyanogenmod device maintainers have purchased or have Note 10.1s on order - Myself (N8013 in my possession) and Espenfjo (N8000 on order), also I think chris41g and at least one other member of the CM team have N8013s.
Same for the Euro N8010 Wifi only version. No dev either...

Understood and makes sense (wasn't aware they had the headstart). Glad to hear you have a 8013 as I've seen alot of good work from you in the past for current and previously owned devices. One quick question... maybe its too early to say, but do you see porting the S-Pen apps and functionality to CM 10 even as an option? Maybe its not even possible....
Thanks again!
I'm so looking forward to the boost CM will give to this tablet judging from my experience with CM9 giving new life to my old Galaxy S Epic 4G.
This device should be quite popular with Developers due to the s-pen. I am betting we have roms galore in about 30 days,

Understood and makes sense (wasn't aware they had the headstart). Glad to hear you have a 8013 as I've seen alot of good work from you in the past for current and previously owned devices. One quick question... maybe its too early to say, but do you see porting the S-Pen apps and functionality to CM 10 even as an option? Maybe its not even possible....
Thanks again!

Apps with the S-Pen SDK - No.
Apps that use the standard ICS Pen APIs - Yes - these are becoming more and more common. PS Touch may even be in this category, I won't know until I've tried. I had a bunch of N7000/I777 stuff to do this past weekend so didn't even start on CM10 bringup.
Built-in features such as stylus gestures and an included note-taking app - There was work started on this, the Note 10.1 will make it more important to get this stuff finished. Google dropping JB kind of put a hold on the "new CM features" stuff as we tried to un-break all the old ones.
Might I just say, it is [email protected] good to see you here, Entropy.

One thing, as far as CM on the N80xx:
I probably could have had CM booting and mostly working with only a few hours of work. However, there's the "quick way" and there's the "right way". The "quick way" would've gotten my N8013 working without providing any benefit for N8000, and without leveraging I9300 commonality. The "right way" takes quite a bit more time - but leverages commonality with the I9300. I'm REALLY hoping we can use the same smdk4412 kernel source tree as the I9300 with just some patches, as it makes maintenance MUCH easier, but could take some time to initially pull in all the right patches.
Similarly, getting an N8013 device tree would've been easy. Having a "common" tree takes more time but means all N80xx devices will pretty much all be maintained to the same degree. See P51xx/P31xx...

Seeing alot of well known Dev's.. This is great and very encouraging. The hardware on this device is awsome, only complan and minor one at that is the screen resolution. In all honesty though it really doesnt bother me much as there ins't much jaggy endges.
As is usual - Whenever Samsung releases a new device (or even a major upgrade to an old device - See I9100 ICS cpufreq derpage which took multiple kernel developers 2-3 weeks to figure out), there's some really derped-up **** in the source.
Right now, any source-built kernel has massive issues with wifi - The SDIO interface just seems to shut down and the chip drops off the face of the earth. This does not happen in the stock kernel.
This one's gonna be a pain in the ass to figure out.
See attached dmesg for an example of the fun...

Heh, but I promise you I'm nowhere near as good as the CM guys are. Once I get my tablet, I might do a stock ROM with some tweaks but it won't be anything insane.

Lol viperboy has no cause for modesty
We look forward to his always excellent work.
I wonder what this will overclock to when they have the kernel figured out?
