Ok, well we all know our beloved I.C.S./CM9 is out and the first dev/dev's to post a fully working rom that's stable will get the bounty. Must be gpl compliant. Must be fully working and up to xda standards. This is to make devs more willing to dev the A500....incentive works best. This is for ICS/CM9
Pledge: 20 dollars
Total=$290
1. Jvillejoe 20$
2. Icedcube 10$-For a501 with working 3g
3. skatin707 125$
4. toastthemost $10 - With a guide.
5. shohratshankar $10
6. Tapek-AU $50-For a501
7. chasmanian $20
8. hardslog $30
9. tosomax $10 - a501 with working 3g
10. carpenterethan $5
And boob pic's and 1000 doll hairs lol
Count me in. I'll donate beer money for one beer - make it $10 USD.
AFAIK the biggest problem with ICS on A500 is the drivers, I do not know if you could e.g. take Transformer drivers and apply them. In theory it should work as the H/W is mostly the same.
As for pledges.. I do not have money. I can pledge a boobshot, though? NB. I do not promise it'll be my boobs in it, though...
You mean ICS for a500 is out? Where did you get that information from?
... Or you pledge for a a200 port?
As for pledges.. I do not have money. I can pledge a boobshot,
OUCH ... NO WAY I WILL LET ANYONE GIVE ME A SHOT IN MY BOOBS.. That would Hurt.... oucheeeeeee...
but yes ics need correct drives only acer can produce them as they make the camera hardware... from what i remember..

But THEY ALSO often called on me for help with things such as building code . I also have training in structural engineering. by the largest steel manufacturers in the us Such as DIETRIC STEEL USG METALS and so on..
Also i have a mcse degrrr. Now i will have to see this soon to support myself as my SHOULDER/ HAND DOCTORS Have made me maximum recovered..This is at a max of 8 lbs lifting no over head use of my left arm (i am left handed).LIFE IS DEPRESSING AT TIMES . TO LOOSE WHAT YOU LOVE as a career.

Then, you will stay with HC. Acer presumably won't publish an ICS ROM for the A500/501, blazingwolf gave up, and I don't see any other devs willing and capable to do the huge amount of work Thor and digitex already spend in developing their close to perfect version of an ICS ROM.

Haven't seen anything from Acer saying anything even remotely in that direction. Sounds more like people just being plain impatient. Things do not always happen in the timeframe we want them to happen, it still doesn't mean they don't happen at all.

People just don't seem to realise, a company like Acer just can't work like a couple of "hacker" devs working for their own ends. They have to go through a lot of official steps to release a ROM, not the least of which is waiting for Google to approve it once they've built it. People also seem to forget that the Tegra 2 drivers for ICS were only released a week ago...

The devs most likely also have to go through quite a few extra hoops all the time due to company bureaucracy as usually everything, every single step, must be possible to be accountable to someone or something. I obviously do not know how things are at Acer, but if I know anything about these things the devs most likely aren't even allowed to compile stuff locally and are forced to always use the company's own compile-server.
I'm a professional developer by trade, though for Windows apps, not OS's. However, it does give me more than a little insight in to the requirements of a profesisonal development environment. April for an official ICS is optimistic.

As I proceed with my Android4Autism plans I need to have an idea of the types of devices people are willing to donate. I may have to outsource ROM development depending on the device and whether or not I have time to put a working ROM together for each type.
So as the EVO 3D and GSII prepare for launch what will you be doing with your old device? Perhaps you have an old Hero or even a Moment. If you are willing to support this cause please indicate what device you are willing to or able to donate.
Remember the status of the ESN does not matter. These device will NOT be activated. They need to be in "decent" and working condition. Remember these are going to go into the hands of special needs kids so they do need to be perfect.
Also, I can use micro sd cards (any size) and phone cases. Extra battery chargers would be welcomed.
Please indicate in the poll what you are able to or willing to donate. I'm not ready to receive any donations yet so please just hang on to them and maybe shoot me a PM with your pledge and email address so I can contact you when I'm ready.

Maybe offer to Paypal them some cash? i know I'd chip in. Heck, right now I'll say I'll paypal $50 to the first person or team that gets me rooted. If everyone chipped in, even a few bucks, it could really add up and create an incentive...

I haven't heard about anyone working on it. I believe they are working on it for other devices.
Throw me down for $50 as well.
So, we've got $100 already...come on...lets offer some incentive for the devs to come back to the EVO Shift for a while...
Im telling you the devices they work on are related to the shift and they can port the same methods. They are already working on the shift and other devices related to it
So, therefore us offering a reward helps not only Shift owners but others too. Fantastic!
count me in! I desperatyl need to get rid of 2.3 because mobilenet doesnt compatible with my metropcs flash! so ill throw 25-50 sumthing in between!

I remember the same talk regarding rooting 2.2.... everyone saying no one was working on it and then BAM! Root.
The thing is development doesn't get done on XDA. When it's done it gets posted to XDA. Just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean it ain't. Imagine you're a dev: Would you post that you're working on it if you're unsure if you can do it? It'd accomplish nothing but dissapointment.
^ Shift Faced
reward
Last i checked theres a reward offer in the Evo forum also. It was up to 300 i think a couple days ago.
Nice! Hopefully once one is rooted, either one, the other one will be that much easier.
I know it is fustrating to wait I am among the many waiting for the same thing. That being said you never hear what the developers are working on because they dont want to give off any clues to htc as to what they are doing so HTC dont send a silent OTA to seal up any exploits that may gain root for us. But to the team that does get the job dont I will be donating to them definatly I cant wait to get my hotspot back for my Iconia Tablet when I am on the road.

New BB arrived today, still hasnt been configured but I had a quick play...
Design is the usual, but back to the original width so larger than the recent ones... It is the thinnest one ever though... Feels well built and looks pretty smart... Keyboard does feel like the best BB one yet, but the keys above them are shiny so show fingerprints... Back is weird if you ask me... The battery cover is basically clear plastic/glass over a textured surface, again finger prints, but different I suppose...
Now then, OS7... What can I say? Same'ol'same old...As crap as ever but with a brand new lick of paint... Touchscreen works, but I just thought, what's the point really...
Read a post over at crackberry and some guy got rid of his S2 for one of these things... We might have some intellectually challenged members, but what does that make him?!
Anyway, I'd like to introduce you all to a great new charity... It's called the 'Get Caspa an S2 as his work decided to get him a BB 9900 at the last minute Fund', a great cause as he shouldn't have to suffer in this way... I'm sure you'll agree...
Rest assured, 100% of donations will go to the fund and remember, YOU can make a real difference in Caspa's life...

Don't you have a mobile of your own mate or do you just rely on your job to provide you with a phone?You can get the GS2 for free on contract in UK if you cant afford to purchase it outright although i always recommend purchasing outright and avoid long contracts.
Even if i had a job that provided a phone id still ensure i had my own phone and it wouldn't be a bloody iPhone or Blackberry either.

Thanks for being real. I feel the same way bro. I feel your pain. But I am not surprised. Maybe some of the guys can ask Lonny Claus for his version of gingerbread. I am on the naughty list so I won't be getting gingerbread but others who are on the nice list can or maybe we can wait for the Lonny Bunny but our best chance is to ask the Great Lonny next Halloween for gingerbread by that time we will have an official gingerbread while everybody else will be on Jellybean.

Thanks Steve. I didn't know that was the case. I thought several users here had access to it.
I am so disgusted with SamSprint it is disgusting. The worst part yet is that I feel that I have no options. I like Samsung technology (specifically the large AMOLED screen in combination with the physical QWERTY), but with attitude that Samsung and Sprint have in releasing software updates (the attitude of I got your money already), it is REALLY discouraging. I wish we had other options because I would GTFO of this phone QUICK and never buy another Samsung phone again.
ALSO, all of this in combination with Samsung and Sprint's complete lack of communication on the matter. No status updates, confirmations, NOTHING. SOOOOOOOOOO tired of this business model, and nothing on the horizon that looks better.
The Galaxy S is an awesome phone no matter which variant you have. Yes we don't get the up dates as quick as we should, I put it on the carriers(refer to the I9000 section on samfirmware and you'll see what I mean). If they'd let some members of xda do their updates they'd be a lot stablier and out faster.

It is pretty clear from all of the posts that I have read, that getting GB from his phone is nothing short of a lost cause.
That said, we shouldn't need to do this kind of reverse engineering crap to get the software off his phone to get it to the people that want it.

That said, we shouldn't need to do this kind of reverse engineering crap to get the software off his phone to get it to the people that want it.

Care to take your childish, complaining somewhere else? Try any android blog, or the sprint forums. This thread, and all of these supportive attitudes are asinine.

I am sorry that you think it is ok for companies (Sprint/Samsung) to treat THEIR CUSTOMERS this way. You know, the same customers who pay the salaries of the employees of their respective companies???
I am also sorry that you don't find this ridiculous delay, and this non-communication as acceptable, and as something that doesn't warrant complaining.
Instead, you chose to complain about my post. Good use of your time. It is YOUR passive attitude which is what allows these exact delays to occur. GOOD JOB!
BACK ON TOPIC:
I guess it wasn't in the playbook this week?
Dude, for real? Grow up. We've gone this long without official GB, it's not like the phone is unusable without it.

And that makes it ok!!!!
I simply don't understand how so many people think it is OK for a consumer to be treated this way by the company they are supporting. This is NOT OK. Instead of being passive about the entire situation, why not be more vocal???
Funny thing is, if you pacifists would actually read what I post, you would see that I am not even necessarily asking for GB tomorrow. I would be thrilled just to get some communication from these companies. Stop keeping the PAYING CUSTOMERS in the dark. Let us know what is going on.
If more people spoke up, maybe these companies would change their tune a little, but nooooooooooo, people are ok with not getting updates in a timely fashion, with no communication from the companies that will ultimately provide said update.
Unless GB is gonna make my phone physically do my job for me I don't see it as that big of a deal. The devs have made this phone kick ass but in essence its just a phone that's fun to mod. I just don't get all the anger. Besides that I'm running eh17 with one of the new kernels from source and it is running great. (Although it still doesn't do my job for me)

Your complaing in a development fourm isn't going to do anything for you if your upset that sprint/samsung does not give you timely updates to your phone. Try complaining in the sprint/samsung fourms, it might help your cause a litttle more.

I have personally written to both companies (actual paper and stamp). I am just one person. If more and more people did it (even just demanded communication), things would change.

Spoke up to WHO? XDA Developers forum?
And no one is keeping anyone in the dark. We weren't guaranteed ANYTHING. We have been getting leaks (read: unofficial builds), and that's it. Nothing has been announced. We'll get it when we get it. Were we even TOLD we were getting Gingerbread by both Sprint and Samsung? I don't think so. We are all speculating release dates, 2.3.x builds, playbook leaks, etc.
Was it not normally not fated that our A500’s where going to be the first devices with an update to ics? I see that the asus eee-pad now also had an update on a date that surprises everyone! Why can acer not do it so quick?
And could somebody say now the exact date of the update on our device please and not the fake polish forum threads with fake dates ?

acer never said it would be the first to get ICS, they said the update would be in January and the media jumped on it being one of the first. If you think it is easy for updates to roll out then by all means apply for a job with acer, but personally I'd rather have it tried and tested with good quality assurance than the usual buggy crap put out by communities such as this.
I'm Sorry Alienwithin, did you not read the name of this site - XDA-DEVELOPERS...
If you think the roms that the devs are kind enough to share are buggy and crap then please feel free to bugger off...

Acer will deliver ICS to us in 21 days, 13 hours, 23 minutes, and 12 seconds
I will get here when it does. Worring about it it's not gonna make it faster. The last thing I heard is that will be either this month or the next, so just sit and wait like the rest of us.

Kind enough to share or not, most custom roms ARE buggy and garbage. I'm very picky about my custom roms, and the iconia community is lucky that most of the roms are from the same couple people who know what they are doing and update with bug fixes when one is found. The g2 community? Not so lucky, lots of trash roms available there.
Let me put it this way, if i make a dinner that commonly causes people to puke and serve it at a homeless shelter should they just be glad i brought food or should they tell me it was disgusting and made them vomit? Same with roms, if it sucks, it sucks.

I set a timer on the numbers you gave us, and if I hadn't got the ICS update from Acer when that timer expired, I'll sue you in small claim court on Mars.
Just contacted acer live support, someone called Uma Mahesh responded that it will be available in february. Also he or she said that it will pop when it is available. I couldnt take a screen shot, so no evidence. But if u are curious u can ask too, they are quick for answering.
hopefully in feb. asus and archos are already scheduled for a feb. ics release.

Then go out and make your own.... Just remember what you said, and make sure you leave time for your family, university(if you go), your job and other commitments...
This is a developement forum... The devs are doing this at the expense of their time and effort. Some are VERY good at what they do, others are just experimenting and trying to improve.... They rely on our feed back as much as we rely on them NOT to brick our devices, however, accidents can, and will, happen...
Now, back on track...
Can't wait for the ICS upgrade and to see what will get cooked up... Just from reading this is a big thing from the developers perspective.
Liking the fact I can use the bio-metric lock...
Hoping it comes out soon as it's like christmas eve, having all the presents to open but having to wait til the morning... I know, I'm just a big kid....
My question is does anyone know if you will be able to naturally move apps to the SD with the update. Or is this just another Acer mystery?

We have women mechanics... pSSSSSSSSS ....
I dont want to turn this thread in to a this type of discussion. But Yes there are some jobs women Should not due because of physical ability.. We are just not as strong as men.. I can say this because i struggle with lifting and so at my VERY Male type job.. but working on CARS IS NOT One of those jobs..
A short skirt and a smile can get a guy to do anything im not able. And they will enjoy doing it..
