[Q]Does anyone have zip of stock 3.1 rom? - Acer Iconia A500

Does anyone have our A500 3.1 stock rom zip? I thought I made a backup to my microsd which WAS NOT in the tab at the time. Dumb mistake.
Thanks guys.

There are plenty of them in various threads... Try looking in the dev section.

I'm not trying to be rude, but, besides you, who knows what is best for you?
You've provided a link to a specific ROM, so I am assuming you are interested in this particular ROM. I would read over the developers post and see what features are contained in the ROM and decide if your stock ROM is better suited for you or not. If you have questions about that ROM, you could post them in the same thread you linked. If you are asking if that ROM is stable, then you should probably post that question in that thread instead of this one.
Hope this helps and, again, not trying to be rude, just wanting to understand your question.
I tried this ROM and I thought is was great. If you want to stay very close to stock but retain root it is a great way to go. You can edit the boot.prop file to disable the cell stand by and save battery and I was able to flash an OC kernel. This is the best way to get stock 3.2 because if you use the ACER update you will loose root. I ended up choosing Taboonay 2.1 over this ROM because vache has an online kitchen that allows you to choose which Acer stock apps you want to install and skip the ones you don't. Also, the stock apps get installed on the data partition, so they can be unistalled and don't take up room in the ROM. You can't go wrong with either ROM though, they are both awesome.
Hope this helps.
thenk you both the question was if these is correct rom for me because if i'm downloading from the post of the stock's there's many rom's there so i understand that here it doesn't matter

No prob. Best of luck. I do not have my A500 yet but I have a Viewsonic Gtab. Like with my Gtab, I am looking forward to trying out the custom ROMs for the A500. If you invest in a good backup strategy, trying out a new ROM isn't an earth shattering experience.
Glad I could help. Which ROM did you end up flashing?

[Q] "Downgrading" to Xoom's 3.1 Stock Kernel

Hi all!
It's me again with one more question.
Well, i'm about to install the Latest Tiamat's Kernel, because of a lot of features.
What i wanna know is: How do i install the Stock Kernel for my Xoom.
In case to return it, i will need to install the original one.
I will need to pick it up from another source?
Is there a way for me to backup my own?
Thanks for the attention. =)
I see that the above question has not been answered yet.
I'd really like to know the same and didn't find the answer yet.
Where do I get the stock kernel?
Thanks.

Need advise on 3.2 ROM

Hi there,
I am new to the iconia forums but not new to android. I already have a heavily customized Xperia X10.
What I am looking for is a pre rooted stock 3.2 ROM. CWM is installed and works.
I have read so many threads but I am still not sure wich file to use.
It's a A500 with Acer_A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7 ROM. The new one should work in Germany.
Can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance.

I am running taboonay 2.2 using the latest Thor kernel and am very happy. It is rock solid even overcooked.
Vache has removed most of the bloat, and but offers a kitchen to add back anything you want.
If you are looking for total stock for your locale, and someone else will need to chime in.

Have a look at the DEV section of this forum, read about each ROM, and then decide which one best meets your individual needs, and desires.
He's asking for a STOCK ROM, only that it's pre-rooted. He isn't asking for taboonay or such. Work on reading-comprehension.
well in the dev section there are some rooted stock, you will have to dig a few pages back
heres one one the second page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265847 not sure if you will get any conflict with u being in germany
if u feel adventurous taboonay has always been solid, its built of a acers' rom just adds some goodies for drive mounts and stuff(usefully for plugging in external hard drives
@ snickle
Thanks buddy. But as WereCatf pointed out, I am looking for a stock ROM. But I missed that Kitchen-thingy when I first read that thread. Seems promising. But it requires registering so I didn't look any further in to it so far.
@ kjy2010
Also Thanks to you! I glanced through the dev section. But most of the ROMs have been cleaned by creators in some way. I would like to decide myself. But as there doesn't seem to be such a ROM that I am looking for, I will probably test one or the other custom ROMs.
@ all others
Thank you!

You can always grab a completely stock ROM, install SU, and busybox before installing the ROM on your tab, and you'll have exactly what you want

Is it really that easy? OMG! My brain is so twistet that I think too complicated (more or less). I thought rooting will be gone with every update.
Thanks M8

Karl, you still have to root and install a recovery (the best method). How else are you gonna be able to flash that rooted stock rom?
Magic wishes???
If you look in the dev section, there is a post for a US based stock rom. What is important, is that it gives instructions on how to do it with your own rom.

I guess I needed to be a bit more explicit with my response. I had no idea he'd take it that way!
I have been lurking the forums for a few weeks now and I have tried a few of the rom in the
Development area. The honeylicus rom is nice just installed kjy2010 version this morning.
Very nice rom . Hope I help some

Hi Karl.
For a European Stock Rom 3.2 with root (version Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1) I went here :
xda
http:__forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280457
it is available to download from here
http:__code.google.com/p/acer-a500/downloads/list
and there is even a very good tutorial in German on how to install it :
http:__www.android-hilfe.de/1703451-post1.html
I have been running it for 2 months without a glitch
Hi jodokus77,
thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the GEN1 ROM was apllicable for german region.
What I am going to do next is to receive the OTA 3.2 Update without installing it. Guess it will be placed in the download folder. If it is not a GEN1 or GEN2 ROM, I will root it myself following the instructions in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290318
Karl
Finally I did it as jodokus77 supposed.
Everything is working as expected.
Karl
Ok Karl,
Think some of us were a bit confused with exactly what you wanted
Close, but, no cigar (old phrase) as we say...
Glad you're happy with it!

[Q] Are all Acer Iconia A500 Kernel ROM combos compatible?

Hi,
I am new to Tablets and still learning. Sorry if my questions are n00bish or the answer is someplace else - I did look and had no luck.
Currently: Acer Iconia A500; Kernel 2.6.36.4-thorV3.9r3, Thor Rom V14.2
Works Great! Never tried any of the other ROM's yet.
I want to try different ROMs to see what all the fuss is about and form my own opinions from my own experiences rather then reading posts about what others have read elsewhere.
How do I determine if a ROM will work with a kernel, like Thor for example? Do I need to revert to the stock kernel, or another one?
I am considering Honeylicious and Lightspeed, which are Acer based rather than Asus.
Thanks for your time.

If you're considering Honeylicious as a ROM, there are explicit instructions as to how to do the necessary wipes, formats, etc. after which you can safely flash the ROM, and not have to worry about residuals from another previously installed ROM, or kernel. (there's even a video tutorial in the OP).
As to which kernels work with which ROMs, there are many people running various kernels with various ROMs. Maybe someone else will post their experiences with what they're currently running to help you out with that.

I've been running Civato's Flexspeed/Flexthunder and enjoy every part of it! Smooth, Super Fast and clean! It works amazing with Thor's 3.9r3 kernel.
Civato is on 'hiatus' due to some ungrateful's here, but his work is Amazing as well as Thor's quality work!
Check it out, you'll be a believer in it!

[Q] Best ROM for iconia a500?

I have my Iconia a500 rooted with Clockworkmod. I can't find any information about flashing a custom ROM though. Does anyone have lightspeed ROM or Thor's ROM installed on their a500? Or experience with both? I wanted to install CM10 but the only information I can find is the preview build for the Iconia a500 thread here, on the last page of the thread I was redirected to a new thread, which doesn't focus on the a500 anymore it just focuses on CM10 in general. The reason I want a new ROM is because I want to get rid of all the bloatware acer has on my tablet. I know my iconia will never be as fast as my Nexus 7 but I'm sure some custom ROM can atleast speed it up a little. Thanks.
EDIT: Apparently I can just delete the bloatware now that I'm rooted. So I guess my new question is what would you guys suggest deleting, what is safe to remove? And what is the best program to remove factory installed apps.
As far as an alternate rom goes, I just recently installed Tegraowners JB ROM v15 and it works great. I love it. You can check it out under the forums section on the tegraowners website. They have a discussions specifically for the A500.
