Sounds like CWM recovery might be working!?
Maybe post in the DEV section?

why don't you just read in the dev section?
To be fair, the dev section is pretty hard to digest if you don't know what you're talking about.
In short, yes, there is now a semi-working Clockwork for the Acer A500. Someone has flashed a 3.1 image successfully, and has a working 3.1 A500 (with the exception of no working camera and no video playback, so certainly not 100% going yet).
So all in all, it seems that the A500 is going to be a go for the custom rom community!
Waiting patiently

Hi All
I am a noob lol
I have a Acer_A500_7.066.01_com_Gen (not rooted)Running on 3.2 only got download for this a few days ago.
Is the UK going to get ics? Or is there a way to download it my self?
If so could some one give me a step-by-step guide as I am a noob.

[/COLOR]There are a 2 (maybe 3) ICS Roms currently available.
1. Look in the DEV sub forum for the leaked ICS rom. This is pretty close to what the official ACER rom will look like when it finally comes out.
2. There is a dev here called Protekk. (he is the maybe above) no real info on his stuff, but search here about it.
3. There is a fully working (minus camera) ICS ROM that is very well received by a dev who does not post his work here. Search for "Tegra Owners Forum" via google to find his link. He is also the dev that got CWM working for the Acer.
For any of the above, you will need to Root your device. There are lots for threads on that in these forums.
Enjoy.
as of right now there is no release of ics for our acers.
if you are refering to the "leak " scene on another thread, it is being used by the great, hard working devs to make us our ics. saying that if you are stating that you are a noob, than i really suggest you dot screw arround with what has been "leaked" or you will probably regret it as people are having some problems trying to flash this rom.
there is an ics rom out there with some minor bugs but you will have to search for that yourself
i would just wait and there will be some stable roms out soon
hope that helps
Dr
Thanks for that might just site back and wait don't want to break my Acer only had for one month lol

yup... im gonna wait for a good rom ( moscow i hope you listening lmao ) good things will come to people that are patient
I so agree with Dr .. this acer ics leak is a Dev alpha build its missing a apps and components from the ICS That acer will release..It is also very likely that you will have to flash back to 3.2.1 to update to the acer ics rom when they push it OTA. as this rom has a new boot loader that seems to be Completely different
Big warning.. if you flash this . YOU MUST GET YOUR UID SAVE AND SOUND FIRST.. AS THIS NEW BOOT LOADER IS SUSPECTED TO BE CHANGING IT. This will prevent you from reverting back..
as far as the other rom mentioned above well only thing i will say . Read more about it before you flash. IT However is safe as far as the ability to return to Stock.
good luck If you are not comfortable flashing your tablet i suggest to wait or do much more reading. Asking for a step by step without basic knowledge is Dangerous..
Good Luck..
Erica
Thanks for your advice.
Think I will just sit back and chill until Acer release ICS for us all,but the sooner the better.

You are correct to say that Thors rom seems to work well. But the op clearly (not meant to be disrespectful to OP) does not have the knowledge to do the downgrade to root procedure . Nor do i believe he wants to Do so.I think just finding and following a walk thru without atlest some knowledge is dangerous. But If he decides to and wants to try a Stock ics . Thor's ics is likely the safest way to go..
I just believe myself that if someone has to ask they should read more. And not become flash happy. Even following a tutorial can go wrong.. ALSO KNOW how to get out of trouble up front.Just in case something goes wrong.
There is no right answer. its about comfort level of the Person.
Asking questions before hand isn't a bad thing. It also doesn't show they don't know what they are doing. I ask questions, but I have a general feel for what I'm doing.

Is there any chance that someone could port/create a miui rom for a500. Obviously v4 so it wouldn't be back tracking to gingerbread. I would think it possible since we have ics working,

@lifecoding, hum? well the porting of MiUi is related to a development question more than an general question... whatever...
@warfenix : the Patchcode is available for MIUI, I think so it possible to be ported.
but since its a question, well then how about q&a?......whatever
Sent from my Iconia A500 using Tapatalk
I think its possible, yes, but you need to find a dev who wants to port it across. That might be the difficult bit...
Seems we need an ASOP rom, or CM ROM running on the tablet, then replace some files... well seems easy to say but dunno about when need to be done...
I will not risk my tablet right now, I need it for work
Hell im game to test, a different rom wouldnt be bad, variety is what the a500 needs...

Miui is much more than an iPad. Yes an miui port is possible and "may" being worked on right now. I ported the miui rom to the pyramid for many months and have considered doing one on the A500. But miui is heavily cyanogenmod based. Once cm9 is established on the tablet there are many possibilities for roms. But getting there is the hard part and I am greatful for the people who are working on cm9 for the iconia.

I already tried porting it using this guide. Unfortunately it didn't boot - reached MIUI boot screen and that was all. I used Tegraowners ROM 144 as a base(AOSP based) and MIUI 2.4.6 ROM - tried from several deviced with no luck. I see arrom1983 managed to boot MIUI on Galaxy 10.1" tab - see this thread....but there are no updates on the progress apparently.

robkoehler, sorry my friend but this is completely wrong. Please don't start another flame war about MIUI being the same as iStuff. You can replace default MIUI launcher and still have MIUI functionality that is way better than Android's default . Other that that, there are plethora of features I could count if you want me to.

Hey, Guys excuse me if it seems like I haven't read enough, but I was wondering has any of the Devs created a custom Rom for the Verizon tab 7.7? If so could you post some links in this thread. Thanks

Not yet. Very little is going on with our tablet. You CAN root it easily. I also installed Tegra Overclock app from market. Other than that...zilch. Its not like the last 7" VZW Tablet that we could have lots of ROMS for.
Yep, I think it may have been the price point combined with the contract element, that has kept the Devs from purchaseing one or being willing to play around with it. Maybe once there is stock restore firmware available, we will start seeing something. Sadly, by that time we will have ics and may not need a custom Rom at all.

There is no firmware for our device available yet, that's why we done have a custom Rom yet.
locerra has been working on a CM9 port, it's posted in this forum, although it's still in it's early stages (no data or wifi for the 815)
Id like to just seeif i could flash it, then i would go right back.

I ran the CM9 Rom and it worked fine and was very fast and smooth. When they get wifi and data working it will be on my device for sure.

I'm fine with different versions of ROMs, but you guys should team up with the cm10 development we have going on here with some developers with great talent, waydownsouth, randomblame, gh123man and others.
EDIT:
This is the same work as the current cm10 ROM on the forums, this should be deleted for duplicate ROM posted.

Hi everyone!
Team IconiaHD is proud to present a KitKat rom for the Acer Iconia A200!
Since there is no A200 section here on XDA we have posted a thread on Acertabletforum instead, hope it's ok to link there!

- pjsports for the A500 JB kernel and device tree
- and everyone else that has been working on the Iconia A500 / A200!

Can you flash this rom to the acer a500 as well? Couldnt find any notes in the forum link or anyone that attempted to do so

No the image for A200 will not run on an A500. For one thing the A500 needs a different kernel. It would not be very difficult to port it if someone wants to try. But I can't really do it myself since I don't have an A500 to test things on.
