Minimalist 3.2.1 ROM.
Built on custom modified Tiamat Xoom 2.1 ROM and HoneyVillain 2.5 kernel. No screenshots available. Just imagine or look up what the Xoom's UI looks like.
Download the ROM here.
Instead of doing a mega-patch, I've just decided to upload the numerous enhancements and fixes as an entire new ROM.
Kernel sources will be available here - https://github.com/anarchron/Iconia_a500_3.1
Thank you for posting a new rom, though a more detailed guide of what is included/not and some screen shots would be excellent. Thank you.
What is this based on? Stock Asus?
EDIT: But also, thankyou for putting in the effort!
Just wondering, since you didn't mention it in detail in the first post.
Did you include honeyvillain 2.5 kernel?
Stock Xoom 3.2 with modified HoneyVillain kernel.
any chance of some screen shots?
also, what apps are included/excluded?
thank you.
ROM is working very well here, thank you for the effort you've put in.
I decided to be a bit cheeky and see if it would work upgrading from HoneyVillain (3.1 Acer base) without a data wipe, and it worked fine. If I come across any issues though I'll be sure to wipe before complaining.
Downloading......seems very interesting specially the fix of the portrait mode....
Thanks

First feedback - will it work with Richardtrip's stock 2.5 kernel without your modifications? And if not - could you enable overclocking in your kernel? You've got it set to a maximum of 1ghz it seems.
What about 3g support ?

how is the audio laud in this rom..? i like the acer one for the good audio...

It won't work on the stock kernel. I made a mistake earlier and left out the over clocking function. I'm currently rebuilding the kernel and preparing a patch to enable overclocking.
To fully comply with GPL stuff, I will be forking the HoneyVillain kernel source sometime later this week. I have yet to figure out the subtleties of github.

Google Account Sign-In
I keep getting a 'Google Account sign-in failure' when I try to set up my gmail account. I've performed a full wipe and initially I flashed the rom and then I immediately flashed the oc patch. On the second attempt I wiped again and just installed the rom and both times I get the same error. Any help would be great!
Disregard that last message, it seems to be working now. Odd...

i have 501 with stock 3.0.1 and only iconiaroot is customise of device ;-)
i'm ready to test new rom, what i have to do?
After testing the new official 3.2 kernel src, I find out that the H.264 video decoding is not working. Apart from that, others are working flawlessly.
Seems that there are something wrong in video decoding in this kernel.
there a lot more wrong with that source

HI can you point me to IConia 3.0.1 Stock ROM .
Rgds,
Softy
Here is a list.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
I just got my A500. I'm running the stock ROM, rooted, and it's working fine for me. I don't really see a reason for me personally to flash a custom ROM. However, I would like to have the ability to OC, and would like some of the other tweaks that come with a custom kernal.
My question is: If I flash RichardTrip's custom kernal, will I be able to update to the Acer OTA 3.2 update when it becomes available? Or will I have to flash back to a stock kernal, update, then re-flash the custom kernal?
Thanks for any help.

That's a good question because I also want to keep my custom rom but flash a OC kernel on my tablet. Where did you find the OC kernel because i have been struggling to find kernel anywhere.
You can find kernals here on XDA that will allow you to OC. For example, Richardtrip's kernal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170319
It's my understanding that once you flash this kernal (or Thor's, for example) you can download an overclocking tool from the market, such as Tegrak or CPU Master, which allows you to set CPU speed, voltages, etc.

OK I got the kernel but now how do I flash it to my stock from. I can't seem to find a how to anywhere. They make finding how to do these things so hard.
Basically to flash the custom kernel you need to load the kernel onto your external SD card or USB. Then reboot into CWM recovery, and select "install zip from SD card". Choose the correct zip, and it will flash it.

Shot! Ill do it and try it and give an update.
i did it with no success. I did a back up. Installed the kernel. Attempted to reboot. Didn't get past Acer logo. Not sure what is stopping it from booting completely.
Any suggestions welcome.

if you are running stock either 3.0 or 3.0.1 make sure you have the correct thor or richardtrip kernel. The current versions of both kernels only work for 3.2 roms, you need to download an older version.

Where can I find the correct kernels for the 3.0? I looked on http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/ however it doesn't say if its for 3.0 or 3.2.
Anyone know a direct download link to a list of kernels to include the one for overclocking on custom 3.0 rom
Get version 2.5 of richardtrip's kernel from the link you posted earlier. That's the latest of the HC 3.1 kernels. The kernels version 3.0 and above are for the 3.2 ROM.

The above is absolutely correct...
@ shambooi ...
You need to practice thoroughly reading on these things to prevent seriously your device...
as this was quoted at that kernel thread...
"As of 3.0 this is only for Honeycomb 3.2. For an older version of this kernel to use on HC 3.0/3.1 check here: http://xda.richardtrip.org/Acer/a500/kernel/"
You obviously saw the link to to kernel list... but completely missed what preceded that link...
Back to my original question... I'm now running richardtrip's HoneyVillian kernel 2.5 on my stock 3.1 ROM. When 3.2 comes out OTA, will I be able to update it as is, or do I have to revert to the stock kernel?
Thanks.
Test this
Look for the older stock rom version before latest release like for us end with. 07 or 11.
Flash your tab to that.I believe the kernel will stifll flash to that.do so then try to update.
Read read read and try at your own risk of course.
Does it work?

I think that what he was getting at is that you really need to read before you act. In the "Iconia A500 Android Development" section under richardtrip post called "[KERNEL] Stock/HV/Taboonay V3.4 for HC 3.2 10-09 - 1.64Ghz/UV control", in the post #2 you will find the changelog for Richardtrip's kernel. From the changelog you can readily find out that the last kernel that supported the 3.01 rom was V1.7. Version 1.8 to 2.5 are for the 3.1 rom, and versions 3 and up are for the 3.2 rom.
It's all there for the reading.

Will you be updatin the base of that to 3.2.1 as your thread at tableroms.com hasnt been updated for a while. Thanks again.
I am sure many who love that minimal stock option will love this but me i just love the virtuous galaxy roms. Hope its not been abandoned

The difference between 3.2 and 3.2.1 for G100W consists in update of applications of Google. In that case VG 1.1.0 it is possible to consider the same 3.2.1. Whether the Samsung will be let out 3.2.1 for Ð7õõ0 by me don't know. ICS 4.0 will be let out in the spring for Ð7õõ0. If there will be no problems with transfer, I will make on it following VG.
Thanks, now I can fully update my Flexstriker rom before I release it.
