As a special forum for the A501 is still missing, I am asking here:
Is there any custom rom with HC 3.1 or 3.2 that also supports the 3G modem in the A501?
Acer is making fools out of us not providing an update to 3.1. That's ridiculous and unacceptable... I am so angry, you won't believe it.
there is no ROM for A501 here... sorry
I wonder how people get A501, in thailand it's not available.... yet...
Well, in Germany it is already available - even in smaller stores but also in the big ones, like Amazon.
I see
We will have it normally next week here... but anyway. I don't want get bored with 2 sim cards and 2 bills
I wish you luck to find asap what you look for, but you need to wait that the dev hand on a A501

Nothing as yet. Why don't you try PMing one of the ROM makes in the Dev section and asking them nicely?
They'll need a dump of an A501 ROM to do much, though.
Thanks for your nice idea.
I will try to contact them.
Definetely +1 for a 3.1 or 3.2 rom for A501. Moreover, I'm here to help by providing anything I can from my A501. Plus, I tried several roms on my HTC Desire, so I hope I can be helpful in something (unfortunately I never cooked a rom).

Hi all from the land of oz!
I was hoping a member of the community could please point me in the direction of a custom rom for an Acer Iconia 501 that has 3G support using the inbuilt sim card port!
If there isnt one i'm happy to try a software dump using my tablet so maybe we could get the ball rolling!
Thankyou!

No ROMs yet. There's a system dump somewhere around here, but no dev showed up yet.
some roms are based on the new a501 3.2 update that just came out, but none of them supports 3g though.. strange thing

I think that all the 3.2 roms are, as of now, ports of other tabs' roms. None of them are based on A501 3.2 update AFAIK.
Hey everyone I'm looking to see if I can get a couple of people running none acer based roms to upload the gpsconfig.xml file that is located in /system/etc/gps. I'm looking to see if there is a variation between the acer rom and transformer, galaxy based roms.
Here are two of the files you requested. One is from a stock 3.1 Rom, and the other from a stock 3.2 Rom (labeled accordingly).

Awesome thank you for those I will have a look at these, but I am mainly looking for ones that are not Acer. Mainly galaxy and transformer. I'm trying to find why other roms other than Acer have better GPS. Thank you.

The roms in the dev forum are FROM ACER.. That is what you asked..
THE ANSWER TO the above is NO.. THERE IS NO Released update from acer for the a500 tablet.There is no full Officially released ICS Rom of any kind from Acer for out tablet. the leak is as close as you will get right now.. acer says mid April is when they push to ics will start. If you want your tablet stock WAIT..
ok ... i want the close rom that there is to the stock
so i think i need to wait for these four rom's

People does not simply give answer without making some kind of "where is waldo game"
here your answer dude
Have the driver ADB ready for your tablet
FIRMWARE LEAK STOCK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524736
I updated it with the stock recovery (dunno if you can do it with the custom one... have to check for this to be sure)
ROOT WITH
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546593
DO NOT INSTALL FACELOCK , it's not yet working totally
DO NOT INSTALL ACER RING (up to you but it's really useless...)
IF YOU WANT change to RW the /system (for modify some stuff)
an application will be installed with the rooting one,
normally it's will be the first app on your tablet,
1 - click on it,
2 - then press first option and second
reboot your tablet
redo exactly the step 1 and 2
then open root explorer and you normally are able to change /system to RW
end of story. have a nice day
PS:
Why the leak one and not custom rom
well I never got any SOD problem, or anything else than CUSTOM got...
CUSTOM are good it's a fact, but for sure the "Official" rom will probably got less bug, I use to have taboonay before, I didn't go back to stock because not satified, just because I wanted to... that's it.
DEV are doing a great job and that have to be said

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension a bit. Erica quite clearly said "RELEASED", and she's 100% right. There is currently NO officially released ICS update for the A500. We know it's coming, and we know roughly when, but it's not RELEASED yet.

Reading comprehension owns you...where did i dispute what she posted ?
the links posted support what she stated....
although they will be releasing it, something she did not mention, the link to Acer gives a est time line ...

HI-larious!
Hello peaple! I've only a question, is there any ics rom for the a501 that the 3g modem works?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
How on earth should that work, without drivers?!
You're right, but I thought that someone leaked an a501 ics rom
If you look at Acers ICS release plans it shows NO ICS for the A501! You may be out of luck.

"No Update Planned" doesn't mean "No ICS". Last month I'm sure A500 also "No Update Planned"

EU acer cust help - Czech Polish confirmed ICS 501 for mid april
Funny, this should have been in the Q&A instead of.... DEVELOPMENT
Guess some people can't read...
MODs can move or delete this.
I want to install URDU language pack but couldn't find anywhere. It is not listed in the language option of my tab. I couldn't find on google search also. Help will be highly appreciated.

Probably because nobody has an answer.
Honestly, I have never see the Urdu language in any HC based rom, so I doubt with the current limited offering of ICS builds, I doubt you will see it in ICS either.
Your only hope would be to do the translations yourself. It's possibly similar to porting a Gingerbread rom to another language. Or perhaps ICS would be easier.

Thanks MD for your reply. I am having Galaxy S2 with gingerbread but is having URDU language BUT I am surprised how my acer tab with ICS is not having Urdu. I can read and write Urdu by keyboards having Urdu, like go keyboard but the fonts I don't like. I wanted to install some good Urdu fonts.
I am indeed thankful once again.

So if I understand, you are just looking for keyboard support for Urdu? If I'm not mistaken, keyboard support in ICS is in separate packages, so it would maybe be possible to change fonts in a keyboard package.
Just a thought. Might give me something to look into while I wait for some new ICS builds from Acer.

Thanks once again MD for your concern. That's correct. I want to install some urdu fonts. Right now I have rooted my device but with original stock ICS rom. I am too afraid to install any other ROM. The more I search and read about installing other ROMs, the more I get confused. Linux and for that matter android has been made so confusing that it has been made for geeks only. It should have been more easier than windows but OMG it is more annoying to me. 1000nds of roms, clockwork mod, rooting, cm7, cm9, flashing and 1000 more terms used. At the end I am totally confused...

Well, messing around with custom roms, bootloaders, and CWM Recoveries is not for most people. And it's a wise choice to read up on things, and fully understand what can happen, before ever going in that direction.
A pity a lot of people don't read.....
Actually, a lot of it is not so difficult once you do it a couple of times. 75% of all devices use pretty much the same steps once you get past the rooting process.
As for 1000's of roms, basically you have only the choices for your a500 device here in the a500 forum. NEVER try to install a rom that is not specifically for your device.
Right now, there are only 4 or 5 custom ICS Roms for the 500, and they all come from the same Acer build. So not a lot of choices yet. Generally, when Acer releases code, they will be different regions with different language support. For now, none of the extra ones are available yet.
