[Kernel-Source] R-Iconia, merged the newest nvidia's kernel

---

Hi everyone,

I am glad to announce the new kernel source (R-Iconia) here.
I had spent much time to upgrade the kernel acer released to the newest kernel from Nvidia, and it's here now

https://github.com/roggin/iconia-a500-kernel

What's the difference between stock source and R-Iconia
1. added 400+ patches from Nvidia git
2. more robust
3. power consumption in suspend mode
4. performance improvement
5. FPS up to 60+
....

Every developer can use my work as your base to developing ROM, I like to see the project better and better

If you like my job, just hit thanks or buy me a beer for lonely developing night :P

Good job! It would be nice to have in a zip file to update our roms with. Have you tested it? If so what improvements have you seen?

Nice to see you developing a sure to be great kernal for the a500.Can't wait to use it hope you stick around for a long time.
i have used your rom on my acer liquid e.

Yippie kay yay !!

good days on the horizon ... Thanks !

hi, with which rom do this kernel compatible ?
acer based only ? or even with galaxy ?

is it 3.01 or 3.1 Kernel.

my understanding is that 3.1 kernel sources are not published yet.

Hi kjy2010,

Yeah, I have tested it, but I just have boot image for Taboony Rom.
the big improvement from stock acer 3.1 kernel i think is power consumption and it's opensource

thanks

Great job with that. I used the Thor kernel for a while, but him refusing to release the source makes him just as bad as Acer before they released it, so I'd much rather support a dev that participates in the community!

Is your Taboonay boot.img available? I haven't had a build env set up for years!

hi zoubidou,

it's depend, my kernel is maybe 3.2 kernel or newer now.
more clearly, in my kernel, it's necessary to revert two patches in framebuffer to back compatible with stock acer 3.1 rom.
Without my kernel, rom developer need to modify his rom to fit kernel.

thanks
