[Q] Flashing kernel on JVQ

hi i just want to know that i m using criskelo JVQ rom the latest one can u plz tell that i can flash any of semphore kernel on in i m planning for latest samephore kernel......plz if anyone know then give me reply

one thing i forget to mention the semaphore has only JVP kernel........i want to know that can i flash this one on my JVQ rom

Hi Ali,
You've probably read up already and found your answer but if not just know that it is good practice to only flash kernels designed for the build. IE JVP = JVP Kernel otherwise you will or can run into problems.
Hope this helps.

Samephore 1.3.0 is designed for JVQ. It should work fine.

I rather trust odin to flash a kernel than an app ...
Why is is it the safest way?

True, semapfore 1.3.0 here on my custom rom based on JVQ.
The only thing that bothers me is that BT doesn't work properly in combination with this kernel.
I use darkcore 2.8 now and everything is fine again.

Use Odin

[Q] Stock ROM/custom kernal and OTA updates

I just got my A500. I'm running the stock ROM, rooted, and it's working fine for me. I don't really see a reason for me personally to flash a custom ROM. However, I would like to have the ability to OC, and would like some of the other tweaks that come with a custom kernal.
My question is: If I flash RichardTrip's custom kernal, will I be able to update to the Acer OTA 3.2 update when it becomes available? Or will I have to flash back to a stock kernal, update, then re-flash the custom kernal?
Thanks for any help.

That's a good question because I also want to keep my custom rom but flash a OC kernel on my tablet. Where did you find the OC kernel because i have been struggling to find kernel anywhere.

You can find kernals here on XDA that will allow you to OC. For example, Richardtrip's kernal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170319
It's my understanding that once you flash this kernal (or Thor's, for example) you can download an overclocking tool from the market, such as Tegrak or CPU Master, which allows you to set CPU speed, voltages, etc.

OK I got the kernel but now how do I flash it to my stock from. I can't seem to find a how to anywhere. They make finding how to do these things so hard.

Basically to flash the custom kernel you need to load the kernel onto your external SD card or USB. Then reboot into CWM recovery, and select "install zip from SD card". Choose the correct zip, and it will flash it.

Shot! Ill do it and try it and give an update.

i did it with no success. I did a back up. Installed the kernel. Attempted to reboot. Didn't get past Acer logo. Not sure what is stopping it from booting completely.
Any suggestions welcome.

if you are running stock either 3.0 or 3.0.1 make sure you have the correct thor or richardtrip kernel. The current versions of both kernels only work for 3.2 roms, you need to download an older version.

Where can I find the correct kernels for the 3.0? I looked on http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/ however it doesn't say if its for 3.0 or 3.2.
Anyone know a direct download link to a list of kernels to include the one for overclocking on custom 3.0 rom

Get version 2.5 of richardtrip's kernel from the link you posted earlier. That's the latest of the HC 3.1 kernels. The kernels version 3.0 and above are for the 3.2 ROM.

The above is absolutely correct...
@ shambooi ...
You need to practice thoroughly reading on these things to prevent seriously your device...
as this was quoted at that kernel thread...
"As of 3.0 this is only for Honeycomb 3.2. For an older version of this kernel to use on HC 3.0/3.1 check here: http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/"
You obviously saw the link to to kernel list... but completely missed what preceded that link...

Back to my original question... I'm now running richardtrip's HoneyVillian kernel 2.5 on my stock 3.1 ROM. When 3.2 comes out OTA, will I be able to update it as is, or do I have to revert to the stock kernel?
Thanks.

Test this
Look for the older stock rom version before latest release like for us end with. 07 or 11.
Flash your tab to that.I believe the kernel will stifll flash to that.do so then try to update.
Read read read and try at your own risk of course.

Does it work?

I'm not sure what you getting at. There I not link I have seen that will help me. Since you know how to install a overclock kernel on stock 3.01 then please explain simply.

I think that what he was getting at is that you really need to read before you act. In the "Iconia A500 Android Development" section under richardtrip post called "[KERNEL] Stock/HV/Taboonay V3.4 for HC 3.2 10-09 - 1.64Ghz/UV control", in the post #2 you will find the changelog for Richardtrip's kernel. From the changelog you can readily find out that the last kernel that supported the 3.01 rom was V1.7. Version 1.8 to 2.5 are for the 3.1 rom, and versions 3 and up are for the 3.2 rom.
It's all there for the reading.

Kernels

can someone list which kernels work with the 0.014 ICS update for the a500? im sick of the stock kernel that came with cm9, i believe and want to flash another one.
my tabs unlocked, cm9 installed, but is laggy so i think OC'ing it may help a tad.
ty in advanced as im new to the world of flashing kernels

Currently, there are no known OC/UV kernels for the 500/501 running ICS. With the exception of TegraOwners, however it only works with the Tegraowner rom as best I know.

damn, i was hoping there was a kernel out there.. is it possible to take a kernel from another tegra2 device & flash it to the a500?
thank you btw for all your answers to my possible ridiculous questions!

Look in my thread , they are not OC kernels , the tweaked ones but they improve smoothness big time.
One thing they are build for 1.031.00 based rom , they will work on older versions but it is possible that camera fails.

ROM and Kernel

Hey guys have just installed taboonay's Rom on my Acer and so far it is not too bad. I am using AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus which is awesome, is there anything similar for the Acer. Also does anyone use Franco's Kernel at all? If not, what is a good one?

With ICS, there is only 1 OC/UV kernel, and that is by EZTerry. With kernels, each is specific to the device&OS, so you really can't swap kernels around. You can find EZTerry's ICS kernel easily in the Dev forum.
AOKP? At one time there were a couple folks tried doing a Kang but they were using a non-GPL kernel, so they were not allowed to post here.

[Q] Changing from CM10 to Danik MS2Ginger 4

I´m currently using CM10 by Tezet, and I have flashed the GB kernel that Tezet put in his post. It all works nice and well, but I wanted to try Danik's MS2Ginger. Does anybody know if it works well without flashing the custom kernel from Danik? Can I just keep my current kernel? If possible, I'd appreciate the opinion of someone who has tried this.
Thanks in advance!
PS: On a side note, my current kernel (CM10) is named: 2.6.32.9- Jellybean, etc, etc. I had the impression that the Linux Kernel for Gingerbread (that is to say, the GB Kernel) was 2.6.35. Why keep the froyo kernel number?

I think you can keep your kernel but you would really benefit from the new one when using Danik's ROM. I haven't tried his ROM though.
CM10 has a thing called "2nd-boot" which allows us to boot custom kernels, from an already running kernel.
2.6.32.9 is the Linux kernel version (which btw, the number doesn't have anyhing to do with the Android version, but newer Android versions work better with newer kernels, that's why there is a WIP 3.0.8 kernel for the Defy). "Jellybean" is just the branch of code. That kernel has the ramdisk and init binaries (I think, kernel experts please correct me) necessary to boot JB.
Motorola has never actually released a kernel newer than that for the MS2, the "official GB kernel" it's an older kernel "built" for GB.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for answering!
