ROM and Kernel - Acer Iconia A500

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.

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 choices!

Just got a Nexus 7 Tablet last night. I know everyone hates the "best ROM" question but I am clueless ass to the Nexus 7 scene. I have been an EVO/EVO 3D rom user forever.
What is the BEST Nexus 7 Rom for basic performance, battery and mostly added features / tools? If anyone has the time/desire to quickly (in a nutshell) compare and contrast a few top roms that would be awesome.
Your best results will be for you to read the various threads about each of the roms.
There the users of the roms will have posted what they like, have problems with experiences.
It would be hard to get a good comparison from anyone unless they actually have tried all the various rom.
I prefer clean ROM's that don't stray too far from AOSP, and don't include a lot of features. With that said, here's some of my favorites:
CleanROM
TeamEOS
Liquid Jellybean
Glazed Jellybean
And if you do choose a AOSP ROM, Here are some kernels:
motley kernel
faux kernel
Clemsyn's Elite Kernel
Trinity Seven
I'm currently about to give TeamEOS's latest nightly + Clemsyn's Elite Kernel (undervolted) a try
I've moved to Baked Grouper with motley's kernel and am wildly impressed. Liquid is also a very nice ROM.

Thanks for the replies guys. I went ahead and tried Baked Grouper Blackbean by Team Baked.
What are some advantages of the motley kernel?

[Q] Does a custom Rom come with a Kernel?

Does a custom Rom come with a Kernel?
My specific case :
Nexus 7 32Gb Wifi
Android 4.1.2
Rom : PA 2.54
Kernel : Franco 3.1.10
My plan is to update to PA 2.99Beta6 which is based on Android 4.2.
I'd like to know if I'll also need to flash a new kernel as part of the upgrade process or if the PA 2.99Rom also includes the required kernel.
My guess is that it will be included with the Rom but figured it wouldn't do any harm to ask.
PMSL, how on earth do you think a ROM would actually work otherwise without a kernel.
Sorry but.... #facepalm

My fear was that a Rom might use or expect the stock kernel, cheers for the answer though.
With that in mind, I wonder why Roms don't tend to ship with custom kernels. Franco's seems to be widely preferred to stock.

most roms that are actually developed ship with custom kernels(like cm for example). roms that are just compiled from aosp source that have some mods added usually use the default android kernel(or stock roms with added mods). also, many roms ship with other custom kernels included. anyways, many others prefer trinity kernel

Sorry I may have picked up on your question wrong, but many developers, well in fact most would use custom kernels, some prefer stock, stock kernels are generally very stable but quite limited in what they can do, for example take the pretty amazing Siyah on Galaxy S3 which gives you the ability to dual boot different ROM, s, i had AOSP as my main ROM and a Samsung ROM as my secondary ROM which was great for a while but they novelty wore off for me as I really only used the AOSP ROM, not to mention over clocking , etc, etc, etc.
I use Trinity Seven kernel on the Nexus and i find that the tablet seems to charge faster than with the CM kernel that comes with Liquid Smooth ROM.
Hope that answers some of your questions anyway

Kernels difference ?

Hi,
so, i'm looking for a good kernel for my N4, but... I can't really decide. I heard that franco and faux's kernel were good, but i can't see why. What's the difference between those kernels ? What's the features ? What's the difference between the stock one, and those one ?
Thanks for your answers !:good:
I'm running the matr1x kernel and I've liked it. I tried the others and this one provided the best battery life.

bricked kernel is the best!
look at this!

Sorry to bump this post, but i'm still looking for the pros and the cons of each kernel...
I didn't find any changelog or features for franco's kernel, and faux's kernel seems good... But i don't have my N4 for the moment... So i can't test them ! Thanks for your answer
Franco's kernel gets a changelog posted every time he does an update, it just isn't added to the first post. If you use his app (free version available) to download the newest kernel, the changelog is given through that as well.
I don't know how Franco compares to other kernels since i haven't tried them, but all the standard options seem to be there. Latest update added gamma control.
I believe every device reacts differently to kernels. I personally get the best battery life from Matr1x.

[Q] Simple kernel question.

Hi all.
I have a stock, rooted Nexus 7. I have flashed plenty of ROMs on my Droid phone...
Am I correct in assuming that I can flash a different kernel, say to underclock/over clock my CPU/GPU without having to flash a new, nodded ROM like CM10? I am interested in some tweaking, but I am running CM7 on my phone-- so stock JB seems just fine to me!
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Of course! Many people choose to stay on stock with a custom kernel.
