Current Version - Acer Iconia A500

I've been playing around with different ROMs and I'm a bit confused now. I'm trying to go back to a full stock setup and I'm having problems trying to figure out what the most current release of the US ROM. Can anybody answer that question?

New to the tab 10.1 few questions

So I got this tab from a friend for free and need to make it better.
First I need to figure out the teems I'm reading in development. I see things like p4 and p4wifi. According to my settings this is a GT-P7510. Does that = a p4wifi?
Second I know how to root (have a GS3) but not sure which rom is the one I want. I'm thinking of going to JB, but I've read something about updating the boot loader. I haven't seen any threads on that though.
Any help you could give would be great.
Yes gt-7510 = p4wifi
And if you want jelly bean you need to flash the newest recovery. You can find them all with instruction on this site: droidbasement.com
En welcome to the club bro

To upgrade bootloader, you could use Odin to put a stock 4.0.4 rom on it and then flash the latest CWM to flash CM10.

You don't have to upgrade it to use CM10, but it helps.
Also new to the galaxy tab (but familiar with flashing roms, kernels, etc). I see 2 development sections, so what is the difference between 10.1 and 10.1v. Thx guys.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
If I remember that far back the "v" was an early model, very thick different camera specs and processor speed. As soon as the 10.1 came asking in June 2011 the v sank without trace.
To answer OP am running AOKP jellybean 4.1.2, rock solid, snappy and vanilla android if that's your thing.... tis mine as I run Gnex's as well. Love it!

Hi all I'm new to the forum and am seeking advice on the tab.
1. Root or not?
2. Best custom ROM?
3. Common problems with it?
I have had three of these and all came from bby and sent the 3rd one to Asus RMA and still having problems
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
Guess most of it has already been asked around here.
Root? Sure, if you want, nothing bad about root. But be careful, without reading you can end up with a brick. So if you do it, read! Don't necessarily read all threads about people complaining about their bricked devices - scared me as far as not to root it before having nvflash (if that'll ever be available again that is...)
Custom ROM? Depends on what you like, though if you're using a dock you should stick to CleanROM. As far as I heard this is the only ROM that really supports dock.
Common problems. Well, I think there's some thread where people talk about their experience with some problems

They both grant the user root access so it's basically the same thing.
Custom Rom or nothing ! It's totally worth it.

Verizon Roms on Sprint S4.

I would like to hear everyones experience with this,
I remember reading someone did it and had it working,
so any details would ne nice, so that everyone can get a new set of roms!
because everyone knows how limited us sprint folk are, I mean we have like what? 8 or 9 roms?
we need more bad!!
You can run i9505 roms, and I am sure others, I have someone testing it with sprint, but he has been gone for a few days, I suppose....follow my guide, it does not have sprint listed yet, but the concept is the same, in short start off by flashing the rom you want, and before you boot, flash a sprint kernel, then tweak the rest...

i tried everything, i tried freakin, adding sprint apn's, i tried, following a rom porting guide, did not work.

Trying to restore/update PA but unfamiliar with the process

Hi Everyone,
Im using an att LG G2 with Paranoid Android installed; I bought the phone at release I am pretty sure and through att. I believe it to be PA version 3.4 and Android version 4.3.1 from looking af the about phone settings. Basically Ive had this phone on loan to someone for about a year and it is just bogged down with shovelware. Netflix wont even load. I was comfortable playing around with ROMs before but ive been in the Ios scene lately and am out of practice. I have some recoveries but I'm concerned with having not played around on the phone's root for several years now so I'd rather not use something that may be incomplete.
My main concern is having the phone back to its speed from before, getting rid of all of the apps, and starting fresh. Id like to keep PA, hopefully upgrade to the latest version, but if i can just factory reset that works too. I'm pretty sure i could reinstall PA starting from scratch with a clean phone. I've been through the forums different times and I really do find that the info is all consolidated well. I hope I don't come accross as lazy or unwilling to search, I just had a bad experience flashing my Galaxy S2 so whenever I'm not certain on the process I try to consult with people more involved.
Thank you all for your time,
Andrew Rapp
Forgive me but I've had this phone on the shelf for a bit and am seeing now that paranoid Android is relatively dead. That'd be unfortunate since I really dug the interface! But if it really is no longer being supported would anyone have a suggestion on a ROM upgrade? Thanks again!
Cm13 or 12.1 both available with a few variants based on them just give them a whirl.

I had CM back on my s2! I could get down with checking it out again. Going through their website is a lot of helpful information, however, most of it seems to be garnered at first time users. I'm using this guide here:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d800
and I'm curious if I can skip the first half (installing a custom recovery); because I'm pretty sure I have one installed already from when I flashed PA. How would I go about checking?
Just reboot into recovery to check the version.
But it would be best to update to TWRP 2.8.73 (latest version).
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
So once I've updated TWRP (which I do have installed) I can skip that first half and just do the second part? Thanks for the help btw; really trying to bring the phone back to life since I love the screen and size
If you have flashed Roms before you know the rule, read the first post then read it again then read it a third time
Make sure you have the correct bootstack, I suggest the official CM ROM to start with by Drastic then you can always try the others AICP,Bliss,ResurrectionRemix and Crdroid.
I like AICP for the customisations been on it for a couple of days to try out.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
I know, being cautious to a fault here >_< I just ended up using flashify to update twrp; that was easy enough. I'll use the app to make a back up I believe and then try following instructions on the website! Thanks for all your help, hopefully I won't need to return XD but still keeping the topic open just in case!
Nope! I get an error when trying to install the CM zip file. In red it says:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1KI-d800.zip'
I was able to get in what appears to be a broken CM installation, which fortunately includes file system exploration and messaging. Accessing the phone from the computer is no problem either. Any idea what the issue here may be?
Bump!
Not sure to be honest,if you have followed the steps in the OP post up in the thread by @drastic and I am sure the more knowledgeable will help you solve the problem.

Ahhh thanks! Yeah I'd been doing the 12.1 downloads from the CM site but yeah that process seems to be the same. Could it be possible that my something weird had been done with the person I loaned the phone too? He liked to tinker and I wouldn't put it passed him to have done something funny with it, or even I before having loaned it. Coud the bootstack be an incorrect? Is there a way I could check?
Can you get the phone back to stock Lollipop,if you think he has played around this may be the best option.

I was thinking that'd be the best option; just to start everything over. Would that process be extensive? I'm on a work computer so I can use recovery and get the files on my phone but anything too complex or needing me to use installers I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow

Int'l ROMs?

I found a *****en ROM named Nameless in the f/g variants of the Note 4. Was all psyched to flash it and play with it only to realize there's data issues. Is there any body who knows how to fix the data issue or maybe properly port this to our device?

I tried that and was unable to get it to get data. It really stumped me
Edit: Oh damn. I realized I flashed the wrong kernel and tried again. after flashing the data fix I got data for a second before the phone rebooted. I wiped everything but data when I flashed from my stock rom

I have managed to get the rom up and running.....for the most part. Only downside so far is I can't get Netflix to work. It just loads forever

T_T I'm not sure of what to search for. For branded roms it's relatively easy, but as an INT'L ROM I'm not sure if my process would work. So it's just some obscure file? I was thinking it may be because I flashed something wrong. No chance you can remember where you think you may have seen it? Like xda or another site?

I have been trying my hardest, asking on every forum i can find, to find out how to get the beta release of emotion kernel R24 for N910T. Not one single response.....but anyway. It is my understanding that the latest release of Emotion Revolution rom has r24 kernel as an option in aroma. My question is this; would it be possible to unzip the R23 kernel zip for N910T and replace only the R24 boot image from the emotion rom and leave all the other system files. Or would that be a really bad idea? Ha. I just want the kernel on Tekhds URv7. I know this is possible a really stupid question but I'm just now beginning to learn all the technical details of these things. And I will say ahead of time that any answer will be beneficial because I don't know much about how a N910T kernel differs from international as far as data is concerned or what the fix actually fixes when you flash it. But if it has any relwvance my phone is carrier unlocked and i dont even use tmobile. My goal is to learn something new everyday without hard bricking my baby like I did my N900A. I'm not by any means new to rooting but am very new to having a device that I can actually play with. Thanks in advance and us noobies appreciate everybodys patience.
