ubuntu - Acer Iconia A500

can somebody please tell me how to get ubuntu 11.+ working on iconia a500
thanks in advance

have the same question

There is a long running thread in the development section of this Forum. This is not for the average user.Its quite a task. its buggy slow and not all hardware works.. NOT To mention requires quite a bit of terminal commands.
Even fallowing all directions you can BRICK Your tablet.Please have a look at the native Linux on iconia thread and Proceed cautiously .
Good luck

I can not wait til their is a stable walk through Until then.... I shall keep my android system files!

Now that we have a pretty stable version of CM9, I was wondering if this would even be possible yet. Saw this thread in the android general forum and it *seemed* pretty simple. I get completely lost trying to look at this stuff, but hopefully someone a little more knowledgeable than myself could figure this out.
here's the thread:

** and I know, if you want it so bad.. do it yourself. Hopefully no one thinks that about this thread. Just thought I'd share some information.

[Q] noob that wants ics

Hi All
I am a noob lol
I have a Acer_A500_7.066.01_com_Gen (not rooted)Running on 3.2 only got download for this a few days ago.
Is the UK going to get ics? Or is there a way to download it my self?
If so could some one give me a step-by-step guide as I am a noob.

[/COLOR]There are a 2 (maybe 3) ICS Roms currently available.
1. Look in the DEV sub forum for the leaked ICS rom. This is pretty close to what the official ACER rom will look like when it finally comes out.
2. There is a dev here called Protekk. (he is the maybe above) no real info on his stuff, but search here about it.
3. There is a fully working (minus camera) ICS ROM that is very well received by a dev who does not post his work here. Search for "Tegra Owners Forum" via google to find his link. He is also the dev that got CWM working for the Acer.
For any of the above, you will need to Root your device. There are lots for threads on that in these forums.
Enjoy.
as of right now there is no release of ics for our acers.
if you are refering to the "leak " scene on another thread, it is being used by the great, hard working devs to make us our ics. saying that if you are stating that you are a noob, than i really suggest you dot screw arround with what has been "leaked" or you will probably regret it as people are having some problems trying to flash this rom.
there is an ics rom out there with some minor bugs but you will have to search for that yourself
i would just wait and there will be some stable roms out soon
hope that helps
Dr
Thanks for that might just site back and wait don't want to break my Acer only had for one month lol

yup... im gonna wait for a good rom ( moscow i hope you listening lmao ) good things will come to people that are patient
I so agree with Dr .. this acer ics leak is a Dev alpha build its missing a apps and components from the ICS That acer will release..It is also very likely that you will have to flash back to 3.2.1 to update to the acer ics rom when they push it OTA. as this rom has a new boot loader that seems to be Completely different
Big warning.. if you flash this . YOU MUST GET YOUR UID SAVE AND SOUND FIRST.. AS THIS NEW BOOT LOADER IS SUSPECTED TO BE CHANGING IT. This will prevent you from reverting back..
as far as the other rom mentioned above well only thing i will say . Read more about it before you flash. IT However is safe as far as the ability to return to Stock.
good luck If you are not comfortable flashing your tablet i suggest to wait or do much more reading. Asking for a step by step without basic knowledge is Dangerous..
Good Luck..
Erica
Thanks for your advice.
Think I will just sit back and chill until Acer release ICS for us all,but the sooner the better.

Best post in this thread, and made by somebody who knows what they are talking about. I'd say listen to Aaron. Option #3 works incredibly well for me.

You are correct to say that Thors rom seems to work well. But the op clearly (not meant to be disrespectful to OP) does not have the knowledge to do the downgrade to root procedure . Nor do i believe he wants to Do so.I think just finding and following a walk thru without atlest some knowledge is dangerous. But If he decides to and wants to try a Stock ics . Thor's ics is likely the safest way to go..
I just believe myself that if someone has to ask they should read more. And not become flash happy. Even following a tutorial can go wrong.. ALSO KNOW how to get out of trouble up front.Just in case something goes wrong.
There is no right answer. its about comfort level of the Person.
Asking questions before hand isn't a bad thing. It also doesn't show they don't know what they are doing. I ask questions, but I have a general feel for what I'm doing.

I guess reading the OP from this thread and the changelog was a bit hard ?
It's simple, that version is the last one with Froyo kernel support, all the subsequent ones don't.
It's why it's stated IN THE FIRST POST that IF you come from Froyo kernel (which is forced if you were on the CM7 from this forum basically), you HAVE to update to either the Chinese GB kernel (linked in the first post by Tezet) OR make an sbf update of your phone with the latest GB European kernel before flashing the new CM10.

There is a whole discussion thread about CM10 explaining how to work with it, the steps to install it in the op of the CM10 thread (or the CM9 ones, or the one in MS2 General forum explaining how to install CM9 on LatAm phones and other EU phones, and so on, on top of it being explaining like 10 times in Questions and Troubleshooting or the actual CM10 thread...).
As a registered user you accepted the rules of XDA, using the search function and searching before a question is one MANDATORY rule.
Being a lazzy ass not even wanting to go read the TITLES of the first page of the forums and/or the last 2 pages of the troubleshooting thread or the first 2 pages of the discussion and dev topics of a ROM is kind of painful......

Please read the very first post by Tezet. Tezet didn't provide Froyo support in his latest rom. So please follow his instructions to fix it.
If this cannot help you, I will suggest you to do full wipe and flash the newest rom again. It's amazing. I love it.
Your problems here could have been avoided by taking the five minutes necessary to read the first post of Tezet's thread completely mate.
As such, this thread is unnecessary, and I'm going to close it.
Please everyone, before you go flashing ANYTHING to your precious devices, make sure you read the fine print first!!!!

Ubuntu Porting Guide Published Developers Please?

Ubuntu has released the Porting Guide for every Android device out there. We want badly in our Atrix 4G too! Any developer is interested to port Ubuntu to our beloved Atrix 4G?
Since, I don't know anything about porting & actually a NOOB in development section, So I just have a simple question, "Will it be hard like ICS or it'll be relatively easy?"

Hello everyone.
I just finished watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDZ1WAwXvbE&sns=em
and think I'm ready to add my first rom to my N10. I'm already rooted running 4.3 and JWR66V. I hope I'm saying that correctly. I'm not on the tech lingo just yet lol. I would like to know if there is a list of Roms I can try? I heard there is only certain ones for the N10. If so what should I look for? Is there a way to add the roms directly to the N10 without a PC? Sorry for the question overload, just want to be careful. Thanks so much to anyone willing to help me out.
I hope this is in the correct thread. If not, I apologize.
Wrong forum. This is for development. Go to the Nexus 10 Help forum.
