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.

Or get your device's stock image from Motodev.

I really need an overview to orient me.
So I want to flash a ROM on my Epic because I want good battery life and I want to get the crappy built in apps off, and I want to have all the goodies.
I guess I need a Kernel too? from what I see.
So then I downloaded Epic Experience 1.1.9 and Mixup Kernel with voodoo.
So now how to install?
I guess I need ClockworkMod? What is that anyway, and why do I need it? Does it install both kernels and roms? or one or the other? And does it matter what order I install the kernel vs the rom? or do I somehow combine them and install both at once?
Can someone please give me a walkthrough or overview of the whole process? I can not seem to find this kind of information in my searches. and I am feeling kind of overwhelmed.
Thanks!

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?
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
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!
Heya,
Is anyone know where i can find "Thor A500 ROM" without any customization please.
Thank You
I'm not sure, if i am allowed to post links to his forum?
Google search "TegraOwners"
can't miss it. That rom is good for acer. I've used it for about 4-5 weeks..It's based on ASUS Tablet. not a acer and has his fast kernel 3.9r3.
Read his posts and follow instructions. Probably not a good idea to ask more about his stuff on xda? he has his own forum over there.
There are plenty of good Custom ROMS here.
plus about 95% of us, use CWM Recovery 1.34 or 1.6v2 by him.
I think what the OP wanted, was to know where he/she can find the original Transformer port from the ASUS. Before "you know who" did all the mods to it. At least the way I understand it. Only because the OP knew exactly what version and who made it (a google would have taken them directly there)
The Rom you are looking for, is not a stock Acer rom, but was a Port from an Asus Transformer tablet. So you can ask in the transformer forum. But Transformer roms will not run on Acer without doing heavy mods, so don't try
As far as I now, Thor is the only one who ported it. So you may want to ask there at his site. But it was based on the Revolver Rom if I'm not mistaken, which originally came from;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173230 (note that this is for an Asus Transformer)
I don't wanna go there, I wanna stay here in XDA plz, could please tell me any good ROM for Acer a 500 and some apps for Student as well plz.
Thank You
Akram
nearly any of the close or near stock rooted roms will suit your needs well i think.. The well cooked /changed roms all are great too but each have issues. something not working . cant play a set game . but they have over clocking and added hardware support on some..
so Asking what rom is a wide open loaded Question. i did see somewhere another asus port rom. i think by ezterry if im not mistaken look in the dev section and at the developers signatures .. if you see a asus rom listed msg them and politely ask would be how i would go about it..
good luck...

Dude, nobody is gonna crucify you, if you ask about Thor's rom. It's a damn good rom for the 500. If you want to try, go to tegraowners. There are 2 roms for the 500. Here on xda, there are several good ones. Do you want a Stock system or an Overclocked System? Mods?
But if you want support for it, Thor's or Flexstriker, you'll have to post it on his forum. It's not a big deal.
Hell, I do testing for Thor, and use his kernels at times.
So relax...

I did test Thor Rom on my tablet and im getting tons of problems man ! so Now i want to try 'Flexstriker', but where i can get this ROM, sorry im new to this stuff i don't know anything. plz guide me abit..
if you were having all kinds of trouble. its likely you did not wipe or format properly before you flashed.. or you put a app back on the tablet that caused it..
FALLOW INSTRUCTIONS very carefully.. I tried that rom went back because of few minor troubles.. and the obvious things..

Flexstriker uses the same kernel as Thors.
You might want to listen to previous advice and do a thorough wipe and format before you install either one, and CERTAINLY afterwards should you decide to move on to another ROM!
The Flexstriker ROM is on the same page where you likely got Thor's. He posted his there because it uses Thor's Kernel which can't be posted on XDA.
As a student, what kind of apps are you looking for? Most of the time you can just download them from the market. Additionally, I believe most of the custom ROMS now have the full version of Polaris Office on them.

There are Roms posted in the Dev section. ICS Stock also.
Your best bet, would be to look at the directory structure on some stock rooted roms, and also look at the updater script for them.
This will give you a good starting point on what to change in your script as far as BB and SU.
MD
Also, I highly recommend you look into the android build system.
Yes its complicated.
yes its hard at first.
but there is only so much you can do to mod an already compiled rom.
even with little coding experience you are able to do a lot when you have access to the source!
plus, if you fix something, you can submit it to have it fixed for everyone.
between this guide and our CM9 thread, you should be able to get started. we have some basic setup instructions over there.
