Hi. Step by step if you haven't already rooted.
First: Root your Iconia from the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228
2nd: Download, install and use Acer Recovery Installer from the Android Market
3rd: Install the ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232545
The custom ROM is basically the stock rom created from the system dump in the link you posted.

[Q] Arabic for Tmobile mytouch 4g

How can I make my Tmobile mytouch 4G reads
arabic language?
It will be great if we can include the changes to get arabic letters displayed correctly. However, if you would like a workaround for now [untill libraries are migrated to mytouch 4G] here is what you can do:
Flash your Phone with Gorilla's Desire-HD port for myTouch 4G
Find Arabic libraries [online] for Desire-HD and simply flash them
I have done that and Arabic letters did display correctly and letters were connected as you would expect
EDIT: In case you could not find it, please use the attached update..

thnx
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Does the recovery 2.5.1.2 safe for MT4G?
Where could I find it? I found 2.5.1.3 in ROM MANAGER is that workable.

What ROM are you running? If you are running the stock ROM, then you don't have to do anything.. 2.5.1.2 is perfect match for stock ROM...

No, you can't use the patch provided, it's for a VERY old ROM. The patch should be done for a ROM with the same framework as the one you're going to use - which means at least the same Android version has to be present.
But:
There is a patch somewhere on XDA, made by madmack originally, if I remember right, based on the Hebrew patch by the guys on iAndroid.co.il (AFAIK, 2 of them are the ones that integrated RTL support in Cyanogenmod 6.something).
I couldn't find madmack's original post, but here's a link to one of the patch versions, the "source" links to madmack's blog, I think :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410460
You can try to search for the original one using "arabic for any ROM script" keywords in Google.
Using this patch, you can add Arabic support to almost any ROM (MIUI has its own script, because of some internal changes that are incompatible with standard Android frameworks).
If you find the original one - it might be running like the current Hebrew patch - directly in recovery, patching the phone over ADB, without the need to extract framework and lib files and pack them back into ROM ZIP.
thank you Jack_R1
i'm not sure if i can do that. but at least that's the only one available now i'll give it a shot
i did it!!!
how can i thank you again? LoL
1 thanks is more than enough. You're welcome

Hello all.... can i get some assistance please???
ROM Manager should make your life a little easier.
Install ROM Manager, start it up, make sure that you RTFM.
To save yourself from making unrecoverable mistakes, search the forum for "nandroid backup" and do one before you start messing about with updating your ROM. You might want to investigate Titanium Backup so that your installed programs and data can be reloaded after a wipe.
Or:
Download 7.0.3, like you probably downloaded your nightly build, and flash it on CWR (ClockWork Recovery).
You'll probably need to convert your Gen (I had to), for that I used a thing called CM7 Universal Converter, worked for me, should work for you. Download it, put it into your SD card (like CM) and then install CM and after CM install the converter.

All custom ROMS here are for the A500 so far, nothing for A501. You DID backup your existing ROM, didn't you? It tells you too in the CWM thread!
If you didn't, you're boned until someone else posts an A501 rom dump.

Sorry to hear that but you have to do alot of ready before you do anything and backup everything to be on the safe side.Hopefully someone with a backup for your original rom comes along to help you out good luck.

Too bad, because the devs may have been able to use it to create some custom with more 3G support on A500 with the A501.
Yes i know its my foult I dont know why i didnt backup Rom changing is so automatic for me after a huge collection of android phones ...
try to put the 3.1 update from taiwan... the config does have settings for 3G (normally)
I did a similar thing as ble3e (I'm using Acer Recovery Installer) but when I tried to restore after finding this removed all 3G functions the backup appears to be corrupted (looks like a faulty media card) and fails
I tried the leaked 3.1 update.zip but it is also for the A500 and has no code for the 3G
Desperately looking for an A501 rom image from anyone who has a good backup ... help

You mean this china firmware leaked one ?
yes, or wait seems some people got the "update" notification, so soon will get update.zip official I feel
but I do have the 3G settings on my A500 with the ROM I use, so... I dunno what the tablet A501 got over the A500 (about the settings)
oh the leaked one was an alpha testing btw haha
they probably checked how many left over bugs was there and then fixed them hopefully
no A501 in my country so... can't help more, but I confirm to have the APN and 2G/3G settings on my A500 I just checked it
try virtous galaxy.. it has sms application and has apn in setting,.
Unfortunately none of custom roms have support for mobile . Options in wireless connections are visible but problem is whit network searching ... So I'm still waiting for stock rom for iconia a501
I contacted Acer support about an upgrade fro the A501 to HC3.1 - looks like we will have to wait until Q3 or Q4 for this. Here's theri response:
Unfortunately the 3.1 update will not be available for A501 tablets, instead they will be updated to 3.2 by Q3 or Q4 of this year which will of course include all the changes from 3.1 and much more.
Still looking for a stock rom for the A501.
cant you just ask acer to provide the full original rom so u can just flash it ?
Just backed up my a501 rom yesterday. Will upload it a little later on today.

Thanks for help . My tablet is working again
You mean to tell me that all the a500 roms (even with the a500 battery saving app available from the market which makes a500's stop searching for 3g connection to save battery) have a completely crippled APN configuration area and theres not even an update we can flash over the top to enable it??
Why would they need an app to stop it looking for 3g connection if the 3g connection was compeltely crippled anyway?

Acer Day Planner

Is there a way to get the Acer Day Planner app, which comes in the A100?
My guess download the .apk from system dump and modify .build prop THOUGH I could be completely wrong..
So download system dump, or a100 rom if acceptable then take the desired .apk out if it doesn't work right off the bat which im assuming it won't you will need to edit the .build prop ...
Hope this helps hit the thanks if it does!

Thanks, I'm gonna look for a A100 rom...
EDIT: I've tried it and it didn't work on the A500... unfortunately. As you said... Who knows if Acer release a "10.1" version of this nice app...
Did you try it and what happens?

After installed, the app loads in portrait mode, because of the A100 specs, I think... no problem about that, but... when I touched on "Start" to configure it, then I got force close everytime I tried it.
It didn't work absolutely.
I don't know what to do with it dry bud..
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
The app has dependencies. Namley the email and calendar apps. So chances are those and who knows what else needs to go into it. I have to agree its probably the best planner app out there. Would be nice to get an effort to port it. If we find all the parts for it chances are it should be doable. Might explain the force closes. I could be way off as I am in the process of trying. But if it works it should just be as simple as having a set of apps to copy to whatever device (ideally I'd like it to work on my phone too but that might be asking too much lol)

Is the app supposed to change orientation as the Tab is moved? Or is it locked to Portrait mode?

It's locked in portrait. It from the A100 so I guess that is the way it is.

You need to flash the zip with custom cwm (recovery)
Or you need to put it in system/app but for that you need also root acces.

[Q] ICS stock apps on HC possible?

Hi,
Is there a way/possibility to port stock apps from ICS (4.0.x) to HC (3.2.1)? I'm asking because I was just on Thor's ICS dev build and checked out the rom a little bit. E-mail 4.1 app for instance can now sync all mail in stead of only one month (tried it with Hotmail-exchange). Contacts and Calendar app look nicer too. So, I'm curious! Currently back on Thor's rom v14.2. If it's possible then a small how-to would be great.
Sent from my Acer ICONIA TAB A500
Yes and No. It depends on the Android API level the application was compiled for.
So if the application was written only for ICS API the answer is NO. However, if it wasn't then the answer is yes.

I think I have an ICS stock apps dump on my computer somewhere, I can try to install them and see which ones install on my tablet running rooted 3.2 and let yall know.
That would be great, thanks!
