Hello, I am new to tablets but not new to rooting. I currently have an HTC mecha which I rooted. So when I root my Acer can I overclock it and what are some must have files for it? Any warnings or advice before i root.Thx, oh yea does the Acer have GPS?

With the right kernel, a rooted tablet can be overclocked. Setcpu is a very useful tool for this.

Which kernel would you recommend for someone using the Lightspeed 4.2 ROM?

I don't use Lightspeed, so i don't know. I'm using the Thor Rom 14.2 (HC 3.2.1), with Thor Kernel 3.9r4. It's a good combo.

RTripps 3.7 kernel should be ok. Actually, the 3.4 is good also. 3.7, well... it's ok.
Just depends on what you want.
Drellsidees kernel is ok also.

I have the same question. I just installed civato's ics rom and it is great, but there is no overclocking abilities with setcpu. Is that due to the kernel? I have kernel 2.6.39.4+.
I have been using Taboonay 3.0.1. Right now most ICS roms are based off of the stock, but i am not sure if any allow for OC. I used Taboonay 2.2 as it comes with tools to be able to OC. That being said, I feel as if Taboonay 3.0.1 is as fast as the OC I did in the 2.2 version. I haven't even though of OC'ing as I have not noticed any need to.

Failed to answer your GPS question. Yes, the A500 has GPS, but I would recommend modifying the GPS.CONFIG file to reflect a smaller spectrum for satellites to use. It comes with the North American grouping, but you can change this to focus on the US grouping. This has helped me getting faster locks. I usually see about 7 or 8 satellites with locks on at least 6. You can use GPS Test found in the Play market to see satellite information.
Thanks for the replies. I have no desires for kernel/rom/etc/. I am just enjoying the roms and all the incredible work the devs do here. I was looking for guidance in terms of something for me to play with.
I'll give Thor's suite a shot.
Thor's v126 has some bugs but he is actively working on it. I'm using v96 and it works great... I OC with setcpu. Only issue is the cameras don't work.

So I have the kernel manager, and I have flashed the dodgekernel_v1.3 and my WiFi,4G and hotspot are broken. Any help would be useful. Also is there a stable kernel I can run with the stock shift Rom??

If your running stock froyo scaryghouls kernels are talked about as being really good i just never used it, bcnice20s kernels is what i always used on froyo, now when it comes to stock GB there is no kernel source from htc so all the newer kernels are for aosp 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 i cant keep up with aosp

Never used the Kernel manager. But if your running stock Froyo Shift Rom you can try one of these. I've used them all with good results. First one is my favorite.

Hey thanx for ure help

No problem .Glad I could help . Just remember to hit the Thanks button anytime ANYONE helps you.
ive heard not so good things of kernel manager
and was told to stay away from it..
but im glad yer problem was fixed now.
whoever said that is simply wrong. kernel manager is a good tool. it downloads/checks download integrity/clears cache and dalvik/installs kernel all in a single step.
the only thing you have to decide is which kernel you want.

What ROM are you using and what kernel did you flash?
Froyo from what I was told.
Hey just an update, I flashed the x99 kernel and all seems to be working well. 4G works and gas works well just used it to find the hospital. Gonna check the hotspot and WiFi soon. Thanx again. And one more question, where is this thank u button. Is it in the main site.

He means if you've included Root Explorer in the ROM, it'll get taken down off XDA unless the developer of the app gave you permission to include it, as they sell that app on the Android Market.

Thread Closed.
Under investigation for possible unauthorized HoneyVillain copy.
Confirmed, this is the same copy as HoneyVillain but with these apps left:
Code:
AcerAbout.apk
AcerNidus.apk
AcerOneTimeInit.apk
AcerRegistration.apk
AcerSync.apk
AcerSyncHelper.apk
Talk.apk
TegraZone.apk
ZinioReader.apk
ZinioSettingsProvider.apk
And this file add in etc:
Code:
\system\etc\media_profiles.xml.bak
Kang works are not tollerated unless original developer gave full right for this.
Case close.
Just woundering i know someone that has made a build prop file so he can play gameloft titles but its for ver.10 not 11 so any help on this matter would be cool if you are using thor rom 11 and managed to get acer app\games to work please letme know
Thank you
And i know that i could just flash a different acer rom but i really like thors rom...
Sent from my EPAD using Tapatalk
I do not think you can do this without breaking support for the Asus apps.that do notelong on the Iconia.I believe its on the build.prop file.I have seen where people have several of these files saved.they switch back and foreordained to them depending what there app needs are.Extreme a bit to me. I use near stock rom and my tablet works fabulous.
You can ask Thor about this. .
Thanks Erica I have another xda member that helped with buildprop. So now I'm using Thor 11 Asus rom flawless so far. =)
What rom are you using so I can check it out if all else fails.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
erica_renee is right
by doing this you will break asus mylibrary app
because it is made only for the tf
and you will need to mod the files to make it work again
Yea I know it breaks library app I don't need it due to countless others that can help me in the same way
The library app is a tiny con compared to my tons of Gameloft titles

That kernel should have loopback, if you are meaning /dev/loop devices . If you mean something else please explain what you mean by loopback.

Im currently using Android Revolution HD, It seems ok but i expected more customization, I see almost no difference, Does anyone have some suggestions?
I've been looking at TEAM EOS 4 but noticed it's for 4.2, Would this work with 4.0.3?
Thanks in advance.
It isn't "for" 4.2, it is 4.2. You're going to be completely replacing 4.0.3. I've been using EOS 4, and think it's excellent. I tried the other CM 10 based JB ROMS and always went back to ICS because of issues. EOS 4 is more than stable enough as an everyday driver, and it got me interested in my TF again. I had been mainly using my Nexus 7.

Sorry for being a noob I installed my first custom rom yesterday, So i guess it's safe to install it? Would i need to "superwipe" before installing the new custom ROM?
No Superwipe. Just wipe data, cache, and Dalvik before installing. Don't forget to flash the latest GAPPS too. Many people also flash the KAT kernel. Your best bet is too read the first few pages of the EOS thread and follow the tutorial in the OP.

I would also recomend APEX Launcher with EOS4 as well. seems to run smoother then default lancher and it really opens up the customations of the tablet.
