Hi,
I am on Taboonay 2.2 Rom (HC 3.2.1) and everytime I use the internal 3G of my A501, the system ends up freezing.
At no particular activity but when accessing Data, android freezes. Only option is to reboot...
Very very annoying.
Any idea where it could come from / possible fix ?
Usually occurs while undervolting too much...
Hmmm, i am on taboona's 2.2 rom with latest thor kernel. I have made no oher changes / tweaks.
Would there be better kernel / specific tweaks for A501s in order to get 3G to work well?
Can you tell me how i go about tweaking voltages? I looked into setCPU but it only talks about reducing CPU votltage...
More help would be greatly appreciated.
Up please help me.

Your version of Taboonay, more than likely uses the 3.7+ Kernel from Richard Trip. Unfortunately, this specific kernel has not enough board voltage to sustain internal 3g. As a result, your display will either Freeze, or tablet will go into Sleep of Death.
Both require a reboot.
The best kernel for your tablet (a501), would be RichardTrips 3.4+. This will allow proper voltage to the system board, while giving a little better battery compared to a Stock Kernel.
You can search the Dev thread for the post by RichardTrip, containing links to his HC kernels. I believe he already has them in a flash.zip file for CWM. Just wipe Dalvik and flash through CWM or RA Recovery.
Any questions, post back.
Thanks man, you solved it!
Looking forward to getting my hands on a performing and stable ICS rom for A501 with working 3G... Meanwhile I am happy with what I have.

Yes, Taboonay has been around for awhile. In fact it was the first Rom I installed. But as you discovered, when it went to the newer kernel, is when the issues with the 501 started.
Not a lot of kernel Devs, and only for the 500. Although 501 can use them for the most part, the UV is too much for the 3g. A pity at least one kernel Dev would own a 501 but they all own 500's.
I've got a stable ICS. But, the battery life isn't the best. Nothing can do till the next beta release for the 501. Also, I will not support HC Bootloaders, so folks will have to upgrade to an ICS bootloader. Not going to get into the mess of supporting different roms/kernels/bootloaders.

Minimalist 3.2.1 ROM.
Built on custom modified Tiamat Xoom 2.1 ROM and HoneyVillain 2.5 kernel. No screenshots available. Just imagine or look up what the Xoom's UI looks like.
Download the ROM here.
Instead of doing a mega-patch, I've just decided to upload the numerous enhancements and fixes as an entire new ROM.
Kernel sources will be available here - https://github.com/anarchron/Iconia_a500_3.1
Thank you for posting a new rom, though a more detailed guide of what is included/not and some screen shots would be excellent. Thank you.
What is this based on? Stock Asus?
EDIT: But also, thankyou for putting in the effort!
Just wondering, since you didn't mention it in detail in the first post.
Did you include honeyvillain 2.5 kernel?
Stock Xoom 3.2 with modified HoneyVillain kernel.
any chance of some screen shots?
also, what apps are included/excluded?
thank you.
ROM is working very well here, thank you for the effort you've put in.
I decided to be a bit cheeky and see if it would work upgrading from HoneyVillain (3.1 Acer base) without a data wipe, and it worked fine. If I come across any issues though I'll be sure to wipe before complaining.
Downloading......seems very interesting specially the fix of the portrait mode....
Thanks

First feedback - will it work with Richardtrip's stock 2.5 kernel without your modifications? And if not - could you enable overclocking in your kernel? You've got it set to a maximum of 1ghz it seems.
What about 3g support ?

how is the audio laud in this rom..? i like the acer one for the good audio...
thanx

It won't work on the stock kernel. I made a mistake earlier and left out the over clocking function. I'm currently rebuilding the kernel and preparing a patch to enable overclocking.
To fully comply with GPL stuff, I will be forking the HoneyVillain kernel source sometime later this week. I have yet to figure out the subtleties of github.

Google Account Sign-In
I keep getting a 'Google Account sign-in failure' when I try to set up my gmail account. I've performed a full wipe and initially I flashed the rom and then I immediately flashed the oc patch. On the second attempt I wiped again and just installed the rom and both times I get the same error. Any help would be great!
Disregard that last message, it seems to be working now. Odd...
Anyone got a great setup doing really well and willing to share? thanks in advance!
i would read 1 of the many threads asking the exact same question
Stock rooted 3.2?
I like taboonay 2.2 coupled with richard trip's 3.4 kernel, however, it's the only rom I have tried. Trip's 3.7 kernel I had a couple problems I couldn't live with.
Rooted 3.2 with thor's kernel 3.8r3 has been solid for me.
Taboonay 2.2 with Thors kernel v3.4. I haven't bothered updating the kernel to Thors latest as my current setup is running perfectly fine.
Running Thor's 3.6 ROM and his newest Kernel. Most solid for me. I've tried Taboonay, lightspeed, honeyvillan, as well as a few others but I keep going back to Thor. While the others are good too, it just seems to me that Thor's ROM is the best and handling video playback, even without overclocking.
I do not believe there is a BESTrom out there.they all have there own good and unique qualities. Try a few and find what suites you best.
From the many threads I have read it does seem the roms closer to stock will give you the most stability with less issues.But will likely be slower with less blunt and extra settings and software,and having less not needed software pushed by acer.
Good luck choosing.JUST REMEMBER BACKUP BACKUP TO SEVERAL PLACES.
READ 4 TIMES FLASH ONCE.
I agree there is no best, but.....
I run taboonay and and the latest thor kernel.
Currently running Taboonay 2.2 and Thor's Kernel 3.9. Pretty solid and no complaints. Running 1.68 and stable.
Unfortunately I run a 501 so roms are pretty limited. No internal 3g support.
However, I ran Thors Revolver ported for the 500 and was impressed with the display response which was slicker than some of the other roms I've flashed.. Unfortunately we couldn't get the internal 3g working all the way.
For me the roms dont really matter on this device. If i understand it correctly they all come from an acer base rom since theres no hc source. I run civato mix but only because it was the first to support hulufied flash. The kernel is what is important to me and thors is beast. He also has a rom but havent tried it. Tegraowners.com

Thor's revolvover is an asus based port from the transformer.
So i am on this forum for a long time now i tested every rom and kernel with games and how they work and all but now i need your help currently i am on stock rom and i am sick of it because it is slow and my internal memory is 150/190 mb used... i stopped playing games and i am now looking for fastest rom that won't bug,and i need it for messages and music player so do you have any opinion on what should i use cm7 ? kyrillos ? or there is something better ? faster ? easier to use?
ty to all that help me
Kyorarom would help in opening apps faster as you can use kyora app to lock apps in memory so they open faster. I recommend kyorarom too for its tweaks and theme. Its really up to you

Ok, let me summarize a bit... I was planning on making a guide for my setup for all those who want update but are a bit skeptic towards custom ROMs.
Let's get started...
Firstly, I have to state that I tried almost every ROM out there and Kyorarom, personally left biggest impact on me considering speed...
BUT, few days ago, I had some crazy picture in my head which was saying that modding one part of ROM crashes whole integrity of that ROM. So I was thinking that probably the best solution would be putting stock ROM and changing kernel only.
So, what did I do?
I decided to try to update ROM to original Froyo supplied from my provider (T-mobile Croatia)
1.) I flashed complete eclair...
2.) Failed to update to Froyo via Kies (who would say...)
- when Kies downloads a ROM it stores it to temp folder. As it didn't want to update from Kies, I took the same ROM and flashed it through ODIN
3.) As that worked perfectly, I had clean XXJPQ (So far the best one I got...) and decided to put a root as I faced some problems before while flashing kernels which should grant me a root...
4.) After I got root, it came to me that I just have to choose right kernel. I decided to go for fugumod. In this case, I took fugumod 2.4 800 Mhz (Cpu setup - 333.5 / 800 Mhz, governor performance)
Right now, you have a ultra mega fast ROM with incredible battery life. (Using ROM whole day with data and wifi + some music got it down to 85% from fully charged)
After that all I did was put 5LS mod and extended power menu...
I'm using Nemus Launcher which has left the smoothest impact on me and the most satisfying options provided for customizing...
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
EDIT:
As there wasn't recovery, and with that no backup option, I had feeling like it's really needed. Fugumod didn't serve any kind of recovery and I haven't found any kind of standalone install for CWM, it was time for me to change kernel. Candidates were kyorakernel (hillbeast) and astrum (moikop). As I tried kyorakernel before and it is based on fugumod and g3mod I decided to go for astrum which is based on samsung.
Results:
It showed great results for now. RZ Recovery packed with kernel is really great. Simple to use, has better interface...
Kernel also gives possibility to use Data2SD (hybrid) and OC to 1ghz (I preffer myself 800 mhz with lagfree governor)
Also, as it simply wasn't enough for me, I decided to go for CMbins 0.3.1 made by hillbeast.
OFC, it gave great boost to the phone...
I was thinking that there isn't much possibility to make it any better but once again I proved myself wrong...
that's a great idea though fugumod is a bit outdated.
any idea on how to enable hd2sd on that? otherwise i ll wait for hillbeast or moikop to iron the bugs on theirs...

No idea, sorry... To be honest I'm waiting for kyorakernel or astrum kernel too. Fugumod is solution because it's the best kernel for now, even outdated...
s'funny, i was thinking about this yesterday, i'm having problems with a gps app, dev thinks its because of custom rom. that got me to thinking about smonic (member) who is/was using stock jpu.
i was wondering if you could flash stock jpu, then g3mod 2.2.2 as kernel? then you would have cwm, extended power memory etc.
sd carc partition would also work?? (methinks? i have a lot of apps, and i use pretty much all of them!)
is this scenario viable????
pretty much a noob at these matters, i get it all, but i dont!!

Of course it's viable I'm advising everyone to flash eclair and take froyo supplied from your provider via kies
problem there was i flashed froyo because my provider wanted me to hand in phone and have it sent off to be updated, taking 2 weeks...
thats why i began on the slippery slope to flashing and rooting
but flashing stock jpu from the list somewhere on this site should work too? or not?
edit- maybe we should start this as a new thread, kinda hijacked this one....not intended @shadowmaniac.

If kies detects your phone you should be on your way to update. It probably wouldn't want to update it but will download ROM in temp folder. You can take it from there and flash via odin.
hey guys, and sorry for a question i know must have been asked before, but i am unable to find.
What roms are the best and most up to date as of now?
i was going to go with cm7 but saw we had cm9 and a few others out there, my real question is, anything better then cm7 out there?
this will be used for my wife, who just wants it to work, as little freezes and hang ups as possible, feature set means nothing next to speed and reliability.
this is my last attempt to make this phone usable for her before i take my 12 gauge to it. please please help! i have to her hear whine everyday with the 2.6.1(think that's it) kernel on there (hasn't been updated in over a year, so anything should be an improvement, it's just hard to get the phone off her long enough to toy with it)
In that case I would use either Superclean 3 or Geewiz
Both are stock EH03 based Touchwiz ROMS. Neither has bleeding edge features but they both just work and are the most up to date ROMs that come from the Samsung/Verizon base. Personally, I have found these ROMS to be the best on battery longevity.

cool, i already d/l'd the geewhiz but it's not taking like the other rom's i'm used to, flashed stock rom E3 and booted in to recovery and tried to update with gwiz through recovery, signature error of some sort, will try again with the other one you mentioned ..... or do i need to load the kernel using odin then flash rom through recovery?
I would also recomend giving Team Hacksung ICS build 6.5 w/ Icy Glitch v14 b4 kernel a try! No doubt superclean and geewiz are great roms, but I think you will like ICS 4.0.3 the best...just sayin.

[KERNEL][CM9][1/29/12] Icy Glitch V14 - BETA - LiveOC - Voodoo - DIDLE - USBhost
gotta bail from work will be back on with the tablet in about an hour.
ICS still has some issues and while it's good enough for 99% of people if this is for pure stability for a nontechnical user I'd say to go for the ROMs I mentioned earlier. Some issues on ICS are MMS doesn't work with wifi on, the datadata issue, the ui is a bit different from Touchwiz ROMs, phantom ring still occurs, CWM and nandroids still have some issues, and it's on a pretty rapid release cycle which would mean that you would need to update her phone fairly often.
ICS is great and it's what I'm running but I think the more mature EH03 ROMS are appropriate in this case.
EDIT:
The link you have goes to Glitch which is a kernel. That is part of the operating system but isn't the entire ICS OS. ICS ROM development is centered over at the rootzwiki developer forum. AOKP, Gummy, and teamhacksung's build are the premier builds.

Yeah, i figured if the kernel was in beta the rom would be as well, got her on super clean and she likes it , still can't tell the difference between that and a 2.6.1 build that was beta around a year ago,lol, thanks for the help and ics is sick , but bob nailed it in regards to my intentions.
That said , thanks to the both of you for bothering with this b.s. question in the first place , i was at work trying to sort her phone out , she needs her phone , life is chaos and time is short, thanks for making it all a little more easy. Also great to see such great support still going on for this, envious with my charge in regards to roms.
Hope i don't need to post here again for a while if you get what I'm saying, haha !! Thanks a ton !

Instructions
You need to flash do a wipe, flash i through cwm and then install motleys kernel. Install it just after the install, otherwise you will get a bootloop. Here are the download links:
ROM:

Mot's Kernel
http://hotfile.com/dl/148987800/309e587/motley_v1i_No_Touchwiz.zip.html
Remember, this is a test build
Report back your result. I really can't get to a Galaxy Tab at the moment. I'm really hoping to bring the first NON-TW ROM to the 8.9
I think you need to ask Motley on how to turn off TW patches to kernel.
Roger That
oh my word, this would be the greatest thing for the 8.9. i don't think we're going to get an ICS rom until Q3/Q4. You know how samsung is.
Yes. Hurrian, talked about it. All I need is motley's 3.1 kernel.
Some news. I got it to boot. Actually, I am in a bootloop without the bootanimation but with the samsung sound. My source uses some weird boot.img (boot.img.md5 Note: it is a boot.img, not a md5 checksum, i am sure). I will hopefully get a correct one tomorrow. At least it passed the Galaxy Tab 8.9 screen.
Booting! There you go! Download links updated!
How's the performance comparing with overcome 2.3?
Anyway thanks for your effort to the development of gt8.9!!!

Currently, they are about the ame. This is because this ROM is a pre alpha. In the next builds, the performance should be far above Overcome, simply because the absence of TouchWiz.

Yes. Wifi has proved itself to be hard. If anybody wants to oin my team, please PM me. You are welcome. I will release the 3.2 The very moment I get Wi-fi working. After that, I am planning to ressurect the honeyUI and add a seconfd build for users to choose.
you are using the motley 3 kernel right? do you know why the USB otg features wouldn't completely work like they do in Galaxian Soup? I plugged in a USB game pad but it didn't work

You probably don't have the kernel modules in the right place. With older motley kernel the modules were in rom somewhere, but i don't remember exactly where. Ask motley about this.
That is because this is an old motley's kenel. Most of the new ones would simply get you into a bootloop. Worknig on that, but no support for that at the moment. Again, compatibility, but I am hoping to get that soon. It has been 7 Hours since I got this booting and working
has there been any more updates on this? This is truly the most exciting rom for this device.

I'd love to hear that this project continue!!!
I'll try my best. I really don't want to see a discontiniued here.
when you release a working wifi rom, will you support the 7300 as well as the 7310?
