Just picked up my iconia - Acer Iconia A500

I would like to know where to go to root, and are there any custom roms or kernels yet? And what about over clocking?
Thanks havent opened it up yet, cant wait

Go to development section of this forum. Root only. Locked bootloader = no roms or kernels or custom recovery is flashable yet.

Thanks just unboxed and put my zagg screen protector on now im charging up

Please let us know your initial impressions. Maybe some pics with the zagg on it. I have ordered the Transformer, but will most likely buy the a500 too to do a comparison and see which one fits me best. Does the weight of it get fatiguing?

I love my Iconia its great!
My initial impression on the weight was that it was a bit heavy at the start but I found that I got used to it rather quickly and I now no longer notice its weight

Those are with the zagg on I did my best and am happy how it ended up , tested it out a bit last night and love it, great quality, sound is awesome, the weight is no issue I found myself holding with one hand mostly but would use 2 if I needed to... will be playing on it some more before work

Damn, it looks nice. I am always going to wonder if I should have gotten the a500 over the Transformer if I don't compare both myself. Time to make the purchase...

It is nice ;-) I was going to buy the transformer on an impulse from a guy on cl but he flaked and I had cash burning a hole in my pocket so the iconia it was and I have no regrets

Is that a live camera image or just your wallpaper?
Kinda sucks that its not tilted towards the driver.
No build thread? How did you get it installed? Integrate it into the speakers? Is that camera live? Did you leave the factory unit behind the Transformer?
Not a back up cam, if they make it, it will be on it soon.
Its not facing the driver, just in case there are 5 other people in the truck, but I almost did that!
Head unit is above it, the A/C controls were moved below cup holder... will post picks of the whole build once I
get home...
Galaxy tab used to be intalled before and a 10",7" screens before that, so is has been a long going project...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Clean install, major props.
Actually you don't need to turn it towards the driver because the viewing angle is so good on this thing.
looks great.
to tilt maybe something like a tv mount with an arm that ca be extended out..?
(not sure if those exists for something like a tablet)
This looks awesome..
Tilt mount sounds good, I'll try to fabricate a smaller version n see how it works!

[MOD]Orange Desire HD[MOD]

Hello Guys!
I bought a Desire HD in December 2010 as my first Android Phone and also my first Smartphone. I was very happy with it and i fell in love with Android.
Sometime later after i checked out neary all Apps on the Android Market I got bored and decided to root my DHD. After The successful rooting the whole World of Android was open. I landed immidiatly here at XDA where all the cool magic happens. I flashed always buggyer things and got a fashmatic (you know what I mean). I have to say a big thanks to all devs of the Desire HD Forum who worked hard and still do for bringing us the best and the newest roms.
Also the flashing and stuff was normal I saw a thred with the chromed DHD. I was amazed and after a few month i did it but only with the frame. It was really nice and meany friends asked me if I had a new phone
Then after a few weeks i talked with a frend whose father could make a powder coating and I panted it in Orange. And now finally thats the result and i think its really nice
Now I have to share with you a few picture of the mod. All is working exept the Volume button i have to grind there the case a bit that he fitts.
enjoy

Looks cool man. That's a nice shade of orange. Nice work!
Why didn't you paint over the black plastic covers too? Also what kind of paint did you use and how did you do it?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Wow, that looks great. Cool idea you had
Paint and sell the parts for other people - I would buy it
That's excellent work there
I take it you took the phone apart to just get the aluminium case done?

Some how crack my screen with out cracking glass?

Hey guys so my 2 year old loves this tablet and uses it more than me. But to learn sign language and of course angry birds
Can I fix it is my question?
It looks fine no cracks in screen at all look at the photo showing the damage under the glass. I think his little foot put just enough pressure on it to break it..

Best bet, look on e-bay or maybe somebody has parted theirs out. You can change it, but maybe it's time to upgrade?

That sucks. You could always get a new one.
Next time don't let a 2 y/o play with such a delicate "toy".

There is a link for part numbers. It was under something like "making the 500 a 501" or something like that. I really can't remember. But I managed to do searches and find it awhile back.
Somebody played with the idea of making an a500 into an a501.
But you'll have to search. It's there.
As far as a web site with acer parts, I know of none.

This version of sense seems to be far more 'complete' and like you said... there are a lot of different launchers out there if it's not for you.
I ordered mine the day after the unveiling, just waiting for the 15th march Will be like a kid at Christmas.
Me too have pre-order Black version

Didn't preorderer yet but will get it asap as well. Just waiting for even better price drops

I want a feature rich phone and I hate AOSP UI. Yeah I'm a sense love eversince So go with HTC. Won't wait for a price drop here. This is just me showing my gratitude for them for reincarnating the nokia XpressMusic line on the latest devices.
Ok XpressMusic and HTC M7 are not totally the same but their line of designs are actually the same. More of like the casual type of phones where it looks really cool and not the typical classy look.
Oh I miss my last XpressMusic phone!!!

Why Note 2 is better than Note 3

You can't do this with the Note 3

you'll never know when you might need them, such as when watching a movie.
Nice joke , get case and do it
Anyway won't replace note 2 for 3 , maybe to note 4 or S5
I can't tell if you're serious or kidding. Regardless, there are multiple solutions that'll work on the N3. I use a Seido case on my N2 which has a kickstand. That way I don't have to carry a "nipple" around with me.
I'm not too sure why there's always a certain number of people who would go against the idea of upgrading when the new version gets announced.
This happened after the announcement of note 2 as well but I bet many of them have upgraded now!

It's a suction cup stand, but one member calls it dildo and another calls it nipple.
Am I on xda or some porn forum site?
haha you all crack me up!
Jokes aside, I too don't like the back of the Note 3. I LOVED Hyperglaze and I also liked A LOT the OG Note's back. Faux leather is AWFUL but at least they didn't go with metal or glass which are the stupidest and most awful materials you can put on MOBILE devices. "Thank" you, brainwashed drones who kept going on about how "cheap and flimsy" Samsung flagships' backs "are"....
