When i look at your signature and some of your other posts, i'm getting the impression you are just promoting your website.

Man, I got excited for a second there. This is old news. ^^^they probably are just spamming for that website, and if this is the case why would anyone want to follow it if the news on there is this late.

Even the site logo says the news will be late
"News behind every news"

First of all thanx to everyone for discussing here...... I have just posted about Galaxy 10.1 to get CM9 ICS very soon with a link to it. However some of our friends here are unhappy. I appreciate their feelings........Better work together in future...........
Thanks & Regards

I'm not usually one to flame so I will apologize, but people on these forums are very quick to pick up on spam and it just gets old after a wile. Everthing in your posts point to promoting your website. First of all, the site you reference(as if you are not a part of them) closely resembles your user name here on XDA, not to mention the link in you signature, O and your post count alone points to the fact that you are only here to do what we are insinuating. My post count may be low, but that's only because I actually read damn near all the information I need and don't need to ask dumb questions, unless I'm really stuck or over my head.
It just gets anoying to check these threads every day to find new news about ICS, to only find a new post with week old news. This also points to the fact you have not been reading around this fourm, or else you would know people would flame you for posting the same old stuff.
So I hope you got all the web hits you needed to do what ever it is you needed to do, but could we please keep the ICS talk not relating to development on the more replied/informative threads.

Nicely said kmmxracer.
TBH it'd probably be worthwhile locking the thread, it only adds noise and confusion and clearly serves only to hoover up traffic for this guy' site.

Atm, the build seems only for the 7510, which is the WIFI Version. But don't worry, I suppose there will be a 3G version in the end

I don't understand why they don't just do it for the 7500, correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't the Wifi Only people just run the 3G firmware without any consequences? It would be just like using a phone without your sim card in it wouldn't it?

Awesome
Fantastic news, can't wait.

Atleast on Honeycomb they couldnt, theres was a wiicked battery drain when it kept looking for network or something like it. Also a lots of error with diffrent sync.

When do we get ICS update for acer a500?

I'm waiting for ICS update from acer. Could somebody tell me the time when it starts updating to ICS? If there's an unofficial way to make it happen, please inform me about it. Thank you.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium

Probably 6 months. It will be on the newly released tablets first. Then, sometime later, it will be officially pushed to current owners.
But then again, nobody really knows except the manufacturers.
Experimental Roms, will be out before then. But NOBODY is going to personally contact you. You'll have to check the dev threads on your own

As of right now Acer has not made any announcements regarding ICS to the A500 tablets. But like it was previously said, doesn't mean we wont hear about it in a few months.

AHHHH its all over the net.. acer has said mid January.But that does mean for sure we will get it then.. they always seem to be a bit behind..AS far as the dev of rom in this forum..
I hope i am wrong but seems they are stuck with driver issue for GPS CAMERA AND CAMCORDER.. AS well as a few other things.. I think these are proprietary to the acer tablet. this could make us have to wait for acer to release a rom or drivers specific for this tablet .
so as said about . NOBODY REALLY HAS ANY IDEA. Blazing and his team are working very hard i would say send him some pay pal help..As we all have done.. .
READ THE forum before asking a question so common as this one. its been answered a Billion times in the last few months..
dont take this personal But SEARCH FUNCTION HAS BEEN CREATED TO AVOID THREADS AS THIS ONE..
GOOD LUCK..

I found a ROM called Thor v14. After flashing the ROM, It looks great on my a500.But I have no idea that the ROM is based on real ICS. Somebody told me it was based on android 3.2.

Where's my thanks? )`; *tears*

here you go !!

The latest rumors now go that the A500 and PB's G100 will expect the ICS update coming April. It may well be that Acer kept its promise they made in January when they pushed the launchdate to April.

sorry wrong thread :O

[q] a500 ics?

Does anyone know of any official confirmation of ICS coming to the A500, and if so happen to know the slated release date?

Depends on how you're rooted. You still get it if you're rooted and are on a stock ROM, it just won't install if you have CWM installed.
If you don't have CWM installed, you'll get ICS and no root and a new locked bootloader. Of course this assumes you're not running a custom (non-stock) ROM. If your not running a stock ROM then you'll never see it.
Anyway, take the OTA you'll loose root and will need to find an ICS exploit to root it.
"Take your stinking locked bootloader of my tablet you damn dirty ACER company"

Yes im runnning a custom ROM, where i can get normal acer ROM. I have checked acer website they only got 3.1 ROM on there website.

What's wrong with that? Load the 3.1 and it will automatically OTA to the latest version.

you will get it WHEN I SAY ITS OK ..
ahhhhhh..
am i missing something here.. YOU WILL GET ICS CUSTOM ROM JUST AS YOU HAVE THE CUSTOM ROM OF YOUR CHOICE RIGHT NOW.. when acer releases ics for our tab. there will be CUSTOM ICS ROMS .. DAAAAAAAA ..
But on the other hand I am Blonde ohh wait im blonde all over... So maybe i know nothing.. We should all everyone on the acer forum start a new thread asking for or about ICS..... ACER WILL SEE IT AND ... WELL lol while drinking more Asian booze on our money..

I propose replacing the "-THANKS" button to an "IDIOT" button. Then the caption can say: "The following people thinks you are an idiot for your post: "

Here is what acer told me about the ICS 4.0 update for A500 aprox realease date

I guess my question on this is why do we care so much about the release. I am pretty happy with HC and could not imagine what new features or tweaks ICS could have that would make me want it so bad...
Even if we did get an official update we would want a custom rooted ROM anyway
Geez

World Iconia Peace. and stop the when will we threads.

Acer Iconia A500 ICS Update Confirmed by Acer

Many people by now have seen the ICS Leak posted by vache i have already tested out it runs smooth everythin works except some apps that are not ICS supported but everythin else is great. Today i checked out the acer site and saw a press realease sayin that the Iconia Tab A series was confirmed to get the ICS update as well as the A500 but we will have to wait until the month of April for the update to roll out. It will include a customized unlock ring and better UI. I was so excited to hear this and i cant wait for the month of April to pass by.
Here's the link to the press realease: us.acer.com/ac/en/US/press/2012/33015

We've known this for weeks now. You might just as well read the forum before you post...

I just replied to some other thread that someone started asking a question that was answered in a thread 4-5 spots below his question. Now this! Lord have mercy xD

Yes, I've heard talk about April a lot, but this is the first concrete thing that I've seen from Acer on the topic, so I'm glad to see this post at least
I wonder if stock ICS on the a500 will be rootable?

I agree as this would be the first confirmed by Acer release. However, if you root your device before the OTA, I'm sure the devs will just base a ROM off of the complete version. But IIRC rooting ICS with our current methods like Gingerbreak and the like don't work....

No ICS update for A501 apparently!

Are you seriously basing this bold assumption on a random post from an anonymous source?
Keep up the good detective work buddy.

According to Acer web page there is no update planned for the A501
Update for the A500 is TBA mid April.
What is TBA?
To Be Announced
or
To Be Available
Acer web page
http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answer...sion/L3RpbWUvMTMzMjg5Njg5MC9zaWQvUThEdkJhVWs=

That depends. Usually it's To Be Announced.
But since Acer already officially announced the update for April it is probably To Be Available this time...

I don't know the sales figures for the A501. But since the only differences between the A500 und A501 are the 3G features, I doubt they won't release an update for the 501.

If you noticed. I did say 'apparently'. I haven't assumed anything. There are also 2 other factors:
1. It says no planned update on the Acer website.
2. When the latest HC 3.2 update was in the works the A501 update seems to have been leaked before the A500 one.
If you don't have anything constructive to say why bother.

I guess they will release it when the remaining qwirks are ironed out from the a500's users feedback, they surely don't want to break something that may put them in trouble with contracted carriers.

Contract /carriers
I do believe that ,well in the us anyway acer has a commitment with AT&T OVER the 3g capabilities in the a501. it could be similar in other countries.As well as the laws in those countries apply as well.
Anyway I WOULD PUT PRESSURE ON THEM and on the assigned carrier your tablet was locked to.. Make the complaints to the point that YOU DID NOT KNOW UP FROM YOUR DEVICE WAS LOCKED TO A CARRIER AS YOU BOUGHT IT off contract. this has worked for people in the past getting there device unlocked and may help get the official update. Just be Polite but slighty pushy and do NOT Take no for a answer.
Good Luck. Start a protest and pound there facebook site.. Been there done that.

i know thats why i asked about a501 repeatedly

I saw. Trying to get real information out of a CS rep is like herding cats. They don't know, even when the information is publicly available.
As for the no A501 update, maybe the "No update planned" means that, well, they don't actually have a plan for it yet. Not that they won't. If they don't hopefully CM9 or some ICS variant will help you guys out.

I guess you're right. 3g baseband connection is a nightmare, as you're practically dependent on what the baseband manufacturer does... if they don't give you the specs you're screwed. By the way, the communication protocols to the baseband FW tend to be somewhat over-complex, too, to make reverse-engineering harder... Its going to take time, always did and probably always will, so be patient.

But I don't wanna be patient when the guy next doors playing with his shiny new toy..... Wheres mine....

Over on the Acer Aus/NZ facebook page one of the Acer chaps said tha A501 ICS release date will be in June.

Very nice. If so that since now buying any of Acer devices is not planned. This brand is not exist for me anymore. Bye Acer

I do admit, news like this does make my decision to get an A501 a week ago seem a bit of a waste. I guess sticking with 3.2.1 for now will do.

Good info Roger!
Lucky i got extra protection warranty from Harvey Norman - i'll use it just for this purpose alone!
