Acer a500 3.0.1 to 3.1 Questions - Acer Iconia A500

Ok, I may need to look harder here but I have not found anything that could assist me or if I have seen it, I am not too sure on what I need to do.
Here is what I have:
- Acer Iconia a500
- Android 3.0.1
- Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-g9b3ce2b Stock
- Build Number Acer_A500_1.104.01_COM_GEN1
- Rooted with Gingerbreak
- Installed Acer Recovery (did forget to make an original backup, I know, bad me)
(Screenshot attached to prove it.)
I have tried looking in here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878) to see if I could get an update and update it here to 3.1 but am unsure on which one to use.
I did use this and it worked fine but was did not like the way 3.2 was running. So alas, I am back to 3.0.1 but would like some assistance on installing or ideas on which one to install.

If your trying to go to 3.1 you can try this rom,

That worked! I used the .38 and it worked perfectly. Thank you for your help!

hehhee.....Current using "FroYo LEAK! Acer_LiquidF_0.007.00_EMEA-GEN1_05.01.01" , want to upgrade so Downloading now........
I got the problem here when i am using A1 tools to install the ROM is show "your phone is not run OS mode" why???? pls help???? thanks
Good Jobs Thanks.........
updated! seems a little faster than previous leak... maybe a new version will be out ASAP looking at the forum
Sadly, I cannot install either leak on my Liquid. I keep getting "E:Verification Failed" with both (downloaded this one three times).
I have no problems installing the Liquid Galaxy 2.1 ROM though.
i installed it with Acer download tool today on my acer liquid - everything went fine
I don't like new UI - you don't have multiple desktops anymore. It can be started as a separate widget, but it's very inconvenient not to always be able to have access to all your widgets immediately.
For the rest it seems to work fine. Flash and multi-touch zoom work in the browser. Wifi AP works too.

thanks a lot for the tip! I had no idea about this setting option in 2.2!
Guys, do I need to install a signed European ROM and then update the FroYo leak through the Acer updater?
Since I have the Rogers version, I obviously cannot update without Malez, which is giving me "verification" and "no script" errors. I've unmounted FS like I'm told to do but to no avail.
I really want to try this ROM. Unlike some folks, I see the potential in Acer's new UI.
Nevermind, I was using the wrong Acer updater.

I have Rogers version - too... in previous Thread i wrote how to install it and how much problems i have. I try to install this Rom 6 times before i was successful. Every time device give me different error and i use Update mode. Later i made it.
Sorry for my English.. just try to install it more times. (and if you need- use Recovery mode)
I finally managed to install it with the official Acer updater tool.
The new interface looks really nice to me. Unfortunately, the History and Gallery shortcuts are too laggy, but otherwise, it looks slick, and I love the pop-up menus when you click on the task bar.
Also, there is a second delay when waking the phone up from standby.
no 3g issues

So you have no problems with 850 3g, does this rom update the radio, i had motorola dext that i rooted and threw a custom rom on and i lost 850 band doing that, so i'm a littlemore cautious as I use fido as my provider

I don't know yet, it passed only 1 hour till i've installed it
but
this is Acer 3.2 original firmware, and Dexter's one is a port from Transformer. I assume that native firmware will always be better than ported one

Has anyone given a try on 3 USB on this ROM? Is it working? Thanks in advance
Thanks a lot, fguy!
I installed the ROM on my 501, works without problems also the 3g works. Only the asus mail widget will not work but the weather widget from asus does work.
Thanks for post it.
Seems to work great on my A500. Wiped cache only, no factory reset. Updated from 3.1 US stock (rooted) Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2.
Going to try this when I get home. Did not want to lose root. Hoping Netflix fix works.
Anxious to install, but must support Netflix....can anyone verify? Thanks!

Netflix for A500 with Rotation

I took ezterry's and Dblfstr's work and modded the Netflix app.
This runs on my rooted 3.2 A500 (should work on non-rooted) and has rotation enabled, so you can watch or browse in any direction.
Let me know if it works for you.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19684921/NetflixA500RotationBlack.apk
Based on the 1.4.1 app of exterry's.
Link to ezterry's original post:

Link to Dblfstr's instruction on rotation enabling and changing colors:

Finally a version that works on my non-rooted 3.2 A500. Thanks so very much, awesome job.
SWEET... works for me without the patch on rooted 3.1!!! Now the question is can I live without root... I needed root for netflix and the patch and for CIFS mod... I use my CIFS occasionally but if there was a non rooted method then I wouldn't need root...
This half of my solution is great... Thanks so much for you effort OP
Awesome! Works perfect!!!
Edit: not rooted btw
Thank you! Just got my tablet yesterday. 3.2 a500 (non-rooted) and it works like a charm. Can't thank you enough.

I had planned on asking ezterry about this. It seems you have already done it. glad it was useful. Next time, give me a heads-up please
Edit: Also, be careful if you use APKEdit, it can have adverse effects.

No patch needed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

What fails?
Probably an issue with the ROMs build.prop no longer looking like an A500 or maybe the library file has the patched version.
Can you run an md5sum on /system/lib/libnvomx.so?
Also, if you can send me the build prop I make figure out why it fails.

[Q] no market place on my iconia a500

i dont have a marketplace on my iconia a 500 how do i fix it
Hi, and welcome.
First, if you could include a little more info I am certain that someone here can help you. Let us know a few things. For instance, have you done any modifications to your tablet? Is your rom is stock, or have you installed a custom rom?
I have a guess if you are just using the tablet stock. When you are in the app drawer, check up on the top left. There are two choices. One is for 'All' apps and the other is for 'My apps'. Maybe you have the 'My apps' selected.
If not go ahead and help us help you by letting us know more about your situation.
I have an Acer a500 I've gotten as far as to root it but my rom is 1.109.02_PA_DEMO. I know I need to make it a retail ROM but I'm stuck. I don't know where to go from this point.

just go into the development section and pick a rom, read the install directions and flash. i suggest taboonay rom and richards 3.7 kernel.

Help! CM10 v.0.8.1 not working. Need latest stock Rom

Hi everyone, I am new to the Thinkpad forums. I just bought a TPT and installed CM10 v.0.8.1. However, the tablet is having endless reboots as the Rom appears very unstable.
Can someone please upload the latest stock Rom from Lenovo? I don't have a backup rom. Thank you!

Which one? ROW? WE? US?
Unless you explicitly need the pen-only mode I recommend trying version 0.7 as it was much more stable than 0.8.1, at least in my experience.

in my case the 0.8.1 is very stable and runs very smooth... i was first on 0.8 which was a desaster... reboots every time and lost some productive data also :/ then i downgraded to 0.7 which was OK, but no pen only mode is very nasty when i try to write on the device e.g in university courses...
so now i'm on 0.8.1 and i have no problems...
maybe it helps if you clean all the caches and stuff?
I moved from 0.6.0 to 0.8.1 and find it MUCH more stable. Pen Only mode work quite well in the new 0.8.1 version too!

I did a few factory resets after installing the rom and I made sure to clean out the caches, etc via clockword recovery before installing the rom.
I am not sure why my TPT is rebooting unexpectedly so much.
I rooted the tablet after upgrading the stock rom to ICS, then got CW mod recovery. I am not sure which version TPT I have. I bought it in the US and it is 16gb if that helps.
Thanks!

I have been having issues with reboots as well. I have a US 32 gig and running 8.1. Not sure if it was because I had a micro SD with an adapter. I will try it without the micro SD.

if you have installed cm10 you won't find your Information in the 'about the tablet' section. Just install the app ' Android System Info' and look at system/buildinfo/fingerprints. At the end you will find something like 130_WE (i hope thats not an info about whats used by the cm10 build)/( WE = western europe). Besides: i have every now and then a sleep to death with 0.8.1. I havent had those with 0.8.0. I tried a lot and so far only one thing works - i turned of the light sensor. ( works at least since a few hours)
