The Official OTA 4.0.3 ICS update broke auto rotation. The rest of the thing is running smooth as butter, but no auto rotation and the switch isn't doing anything.
Anyone know of a fix to this? I had this prob with the leak but after rooting and reinstall leak from scratch it cured itself. This one isn't doing that.
Is there an app to set the orientation of the screen manually that i can use in the interim??
------------------------------------------
400+ Views later, i think quite a few people have this issue and are trying to find a solution to this.
So far, thank you networkdawg for your app suggestion for manually rotating the screen, however that is a paid for app with a few too many options for my need. I'm currently using Mantano Reader Free to rotate my screen.

------------------------------------------
Before i accidentally upgraded to the ICS leak, i had my old HC bootloader and was running Lightspeed flawlessly.
Does anyone know of a way to downgrade the bootloader back to HC so i can run a custom bootloader?
OR
a custom bootloader for ICS?
------------------------------------------
Ok so in the end i used jazzyjames' tutorial and blasted HC + HC Bootloader back onto my tab (accelerometer now working once more), rooted, ran Acer Recovery Installer and loaded Light Speed ICS once more.
Everything is working swimmingly. No issues and i got ICS running like a champ.
When the hardworking devs in the dev section have streamlined the ICS bootloader unlocker and installing of a custom recovery a little further, i may try the ICS bootloader once more. But for now, to just have a functional tab, im sticking with the old stuff a little longer.
Thanks Civato, Blackthund3r and jazzyjames for their excellent tools and tutorials. I could not have done it without their help.
------------------------------------------
Update May 08 2012
Did something new, reverted back to stock 3.2.1 (the Gen 2 that was used in Jazzy's revert tutorial), did an OTA upgrade to ICS Official. On first run everything worked.
The minute i rebooted, the accelerometer stopped working.
Followed Civato's tutorial down to the letter, got the custom ICS bootloader working with recovery. Ran like a charm.
Installed a custom ROM (Lightspeed), accelerometer was still not working.
MY TAKEAWAY ---- The accelerometer issues is not a problem with ICS itself, but related to the new chipset firmware and bootloader included with the ICS update. I could be wrong here.
Anyone have any other insights into this?
Back to HC bootloader once more (accelerometer working again) no dice with ICS bootloader :S
I'm not aware of any apps that will switch orientations, only lock it.
Have you tried switching the lock to off then rebooting to see if that resets it?
I have noticed the orientation check isn't as sensitive as it used to be so sometimes I have to wait a few extra seconds or orient the tablet a little more [than usual] to get it to switch over. But it does work.
I have the rotation problem also. As a workaround, I installed this and it works great, although manually.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
veer01_42 I'd be interested in your review of that app if you use it and/or pay for it.
I have the same issue. I have a couple apps that are orientation locked and I can use them to rotate but it's very annoying. Hope this gets fixed soon
anyone try a factory reset to see if that fixed it
A factory reset fixed it for me
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Been factory resetting this thing all night, no beans at all.
With the 4.0.3 leak, after one reset it worked for me, but i never got it to repeat again. So don't go factory resetting your tab in a hurry if you know whats good for you, especially if your rotation is working.
Good app, lots of options, but for what i want, this app is too much and it puts an icon next to the clock for quick access, but you cant preset the orientations there. There are only three, locked, auto and whatever you have it in now.
To get to the other options, tap the notification and it brings up a menu with all the other orientations (over 10 of them) its too much for me. But its an extremely powerful app.
Not worth the money as a workaround to a stupid accelerometer.
Encountered the same issue. I was in Portrait mode, playing Draw Something, and suddenly it just rebooted and went into Landscape mode. After a factory reset, it is not fixed. Not sure where to go, but this is highly disappointing for a tablet I paid close to $500 for...
Try wipe cache, it works for me. All said methods in the forum doesn't work for my tablet though.

What cache?
Do you mean Pwr Button + Volume Up while toggling screen lock switch?
Or is it something else?
On some a500 that were rooted and accepted the ics ota, a few things got broken during the upgrade. Flash a stock rooted ice rom, but before you do go into recovery and and select backup an restore,click on toggle backup of internal storage. Then you should see enabled on the screen. Then do full reset in mounts and storage plus your normal wipe. This will fully format everything on your tab but sd . When you reflash the new ics rom everything should work fine.

variations on problem for different versions
More pieces to the puzzle.
I just downloaded and installed Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 (very close to stock OTA, but rooted) from XDA and applied it over the stock OTA I had received from Acer directly, Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1.
Under Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 screen rotation (and the error 26's) would not clear. I could not get the rotation to work at all, even with multiple reboots, and hard (pinhole) resets.
I restored to Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1 and rotation is back to it's unstable self, but at least a pinhole reset will clear it.

3rd thread, about 4th rom flashed
constant issues with builds. have gone from stock to:
cm 6.1.3 -apps crashing, random crash notices i.e "phone book has crashed force close" - "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"
cm 7 - random reboots, opening browser caused power cycle, wifi issues, lag (thread posted, no solutions at the forefront)
currently on tripnraver pre release. now another issue. no signal what so ever.
original baseband on this xperia x10a is .55. it is suggested to use with bands 52 or 49.
loading either of these basebands. which ive done. doesn't seem to fix the no signal problem. the description states should be backwards compatible even if appropriate bb is not installed on device. yet no luck.
attempting to flash either baseband fails to resolve this problem. currently trying to flash back to stock and try another full reinstall and baseband flash in flashtool.
any ideas would be a great help. having to flash x number of times between roms is getting quite time consuming
thanks everyone.
if you want to stay on the miui rom, you can flash the baseband patch located here and stay on whatever baseband works best for you (I'm on .55 and find it fantastic), then when you load the rom, go to dev tools>bad behaviour>crash the system server.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011608
Otherwise, I would recommend wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3, as it is the most stable. You must have done something wrong during installation as I never had an issue with his roms.
The only issue I have ever had with any rom is MiUi and thats because I used the wrong baseband. You must be doing something wrong for you to be having problems
if you want, try this flash, it's trips miui pre-final with the baseband patch implemented.
http://www.multiupload.com/KCKE9K2WKN
worked with my .54 baseband
thanks so much for the links to the baseband patches. i remember coming across a thread that posted it but unfortunately forgot to book mark. so im definitely going to go ahead and try with the patch installed. hopefully all works well
each rom ive flashed has been done properly according to instructions. cache wiped, dalvik, and full reset as per menu options in xrecovery.
one way or another i experienced lag for the most part, and as mentioned some random crashes. never had reset on wolfs rom just error messages at times. trips rom worked excellent, smooth and quick. hopefully with the patch implemented everything will work flawlessly
thanks you guys
*Updated
Flashed over rom with baseband patch. signal working. everything running smooth.
except for when using camera zoom. zoom default displays 0x. as soon as the option is selected it spawns an immediate force close
any patches? or similar outcome for anyone else?
i will outline my steps below so everyones up to speed on how i performed this flash.
- flashed back stock in SEUS
- root with one click (success)
- installed busy box (market)
- installed xrecovery apk
- booted into xrec
1. full factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik cache
4. wipe battery stats
5. install custom zip from sd card
6. selected trips rom with bb patch implemented
5. reboot
Camera zoom doesn't work in most ROMs yet and the lag you were experiencing was likely just the FW "settling" it can take a little bit and a couple reboots sometimes for the phone to calibrate itself properly.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
thanks cmoney. maybe ill try my luck with cm7. give it a few reboots and hope for the best. great rom. im really loving trips iphonesque style
clean smooth and quick. everythings working great. hoping the zoom may get fixed soon enough. only other inquiry i have with regards to this rom is the apps2sd.
this feature is essential to myself personally. and it is not working as ive noticed on this rom. ive read a thread with regards to a fix for the last release. i checked the settings for an enable option in case the feature requires being manually set as active but nothing listed. within sd settings state reads as unavailable. if anyone has an answer as to whether this fix will function with the current pre release. ill be going ahead with completeling the flash and reporting what i find back on this thread.
thanks again everyone
Try Wolfbreaks rom. It's very very stable for me. It has cam and everything upto date.
im going to flash back to wolfbreaks updated 6.1.3 unless anyone can point me in the direction of a fix for trips rom.
the smooth and fluid feel of trips rom was brilliant. i am hopeful someone has directions for an apps2sd fix as i have flashed the build twice and the same issue has occured.

works for me on trips newest....
i just downloaded the new version 1.0
this is ridiculous. without the baseband patch. crash system server. no signal
now apps to sd is saying "apps2sd is not supported on this device"
this is an xperia x10, so obviously there must be something wrong here.
can anyone elaborate on exactly what to do about this because im going to attempt to flash back the rom, flash the bb patch right after, reboot. i assume this will only solve my signal issue. but this apps to sd is getting extremely frustrating and i can not figure out why it is not showing an enabled status.
- Flashed 1.0 with baseband patch - network signal resolved.
- apps to sd is STILL not working. and i really dont know what to do about this. everything else on this rom is perfect. is there something im missing? i came across a patch for apps2sd fix but this was for a previous version. would it be needed here? is there a setting that must be enabled first in order to start apps to sd as a service.
- as mentioned previously within the main menu, under sd card settings. message states "apps2sd is not supported on device" and on previous build would display "apps2sd unavailable". its simply impossible that the phone doesn't support it. as with every other rom the feature has worked. froyo would support it. the question is how do i go about enabling said feature?

I dunno man, it works fine for me, but I copied data from my 0.3.2 xrecovery image, so that might be why. try flashing that apps2sd fix for 0.3.2, should work fine
damn it. i just found that thread. found the links to the fixes. so far ive tried miui32_a2sd_fix.zip. and flashed that over with xrec prior to reboot. which did nothing.
there are two more links so im going to try those two flashes as well and hope that one of them will do the trick. if its working when utilizing .32 patches then ideally the bloody thing would have to work here. thanks for the input though dtox. much appreciated
I don't know what else to suggest man
From the feedback I see in the miui thread, everyone else is reporting it working!
Did you factory wipe, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache before install? then flash the miui 1.0.zip, and flash immediately the baseband patch then reboot into the rom.
Remember not all apps allow apps2sd so use something like android system info, go into the applications tab click on one, click manage and then see if the option "move to sd" is highlighted. Like I said check a few though, not all apps can be moved
i just replied in the dev section lol but yes i have gone ahead and checked the applications menu. specifically downloaded a file i have moved to sd on a previous occasion from the market.
nothing
the "apps to sd" selection is completely greyed out. no matter what application i click on or download. i did a full wipe, full install, and selected the apps2sd fix immediately after rom and bbpatch flash, prior to rebooting. issue still remains.
we'll see i guess. thanks again dtox

Try it again but without the fix...
i did that to it doesnt work i get the same message displayed
i tried with fix and without. another thing to note is that the rom itself says it should work with a different baseband as it has elements of unified. (which it doesn't) i had to flash the bb patch to get signal.
im not sure whats up with this but until i figure it out for a certainty ive flashed back over to wolf breaks rom. hopefully something will surface and i can give trips rom another go.

No idea man, like I said it is fine for everyone else so I'm so no big development will arise that will make it function with your phone....
maybe it has something to do with 10a. i dont know. but the point is it shouldn't even be doing this regardless. hypothetically if its froyo and it has apps2sd built in. it should work. its not the way ive flashed. the phone supports it. so my only conclusion the rom must not be as compatible as stated. and from reading different posts about the prev builds sometimes the patches worked at other times they didnt. and also the fact that the rom is claimed to work without the need for a bbpatch. yet without the patch instaled phone caught no single. i guess certain unexplainable glitches can be bound to happen at times but any how ill give it one last go.
if nothing comes out of that then im giving up on that build because it seems relatively hopeless.
lol I'm using an x10a...
Still man you're the only person reporting this. Don't you find that strange? What baseband are you using anyhow?
Hello.
This is where you can look at the tutorial and get the files to install if you feel like jumping into it ...
ICS Step by step and files
Note: if you do flash this and it hangs at the boot screen, pull the battery and flash it again and it should work. Some have had to do it 3 times.
I take no credit for this ROM and full props go to the developers of the above post and all those working to make this happen.
First the look and feel of ICS is nothing short of superb. The speed as of now is similar to all the other ROMS I have tried with a little chop here and there but nothing major.
Yes lots of little issues and items that do not work like the camera and GPS but not a huge deal for me so I am willing to stick to it.
Battery so far is decent. 13 hours and 43 min. on the first charge to calibrate and sitting at 24% still. This included allot of playing with the phone and reboots to test jigs
As for the issues that are somewhat bothersome, they include the following.
1. No home or search button. I know same as usual when installing an i9000 ROM but the key mappings from the GB ROMS does not work.
2. BLN (issue all around) will remain lit until you wake the phone to get the notification.
3. They had to do some funky stuff to get 3G to work so it lags to start. Not a huge deal cause it does start and remain working.
I will be continuing to use this ROM and hopefully everything will be working soon (these guys are flying. Also I have been told that the folks over at Glitch are already working on the kernels for the ICS port so that is promising as well.
If there are any other out there running this on our phone chime in with your thoughts or fixes if you have any.
Thanx
Bucky
Thanks for starting this thread. Can't wait to hear about your progress.
Alpha 7
Hey here is the update ...
Installed the Alpha 7 update today and I have to say this rom is fantastic.
1. Camera is fixed and works like a charm.
2. GPS locked in seconds and accurate indoors!! Big improvment over all other roms I have used.
3. HW Acceleration is fixed and working from what I can tell
4. You Tube is fixed and can watch video
Still on the not working list
1. Can not plug the phone in while off as it just restarts. this is a work in progress and known issue
2. Can not record video
3. Will not read a SIM card for contacts and so on (thank god for Google sync)
4. Still no home or search buttons (I think I may need to work on that on myself unless a kernel is released)
SO my review so far ...
No real issues with the general use of the phone. Text, phone, email and web are solid, I have installed apps from the market with no issues and not one FC yet. Battery life is good and nothing is taking over. I have been able to use the phone all day and still have lots left over before going to bed and plugging in. I have not been through a full battery as of yet but that is what I am working on now.
Memory - Last I looked I had 174MB of memory remaining which is the highest I have seen.
ICS is really smooth and fast while moving around. I am going to continue to play with it and report back here for everyone.
I don't use a whole lot of apps so there won't be much regarding those.
Thanx for stopping by and I will post pics when I can.

Thanks for the update. From your review, it sounds like an awesome rom. Can't wait to try it but need them to fix the video recording first. Although I might just cave and try it out just to see what the fuss is all about
Can always restore my current setup... lol.
Update ...
been getting the SOD today and not sure why, I mentioned above that the HW acceleration was working, I misunderstood and it is not fully working yet.
I found that the system partition is very small. There was an update which required copying libs and there was not enough space left to do this (2MB). Not too sure if this is due to coming from MIUI or just a ROM issue.
Alpha 8 was released but had quite a few issues so not flashing that one.
Daily use has been great so far (except for the SOD) with no reception or data issues.
I am still working on the home and search buttons but I think that will get fixed with a kernel update. I tried the keymap file but these buttons do not even register in recovery so I get nothing in the ROM either.
More to come ...
Haven't tried this (likely won't as I need the phone for work) but buck have you tried the manual key fix - some directions in our thread on putting on Darkys 10.3.

There are allot of BT related posts in the QA. I personally do not use any BT but I do have a headset that I will try when I get home.
Seems to be a battery drain issue too as my phone is now dead but I have not calibrated so we will see after I do that.

AT LEAST YOU GUYS HAVE IT RUNNING!!
I am having a hell of a time trying to get it to work. I have tried so many different ways to get it up and running but no luck.
I've tried installing it from MIUI 3 times but all I get when trying to boot into ICS for the first time is a Black Screen after the FuguMod boot screen.
The funny thing is that the 4 soft buttons at the bottom light up still.
So I then decided to try the JVT way:
-Flashed JVT DARKYROM (ODIN)
-Lagfix OFF
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-FLASHED CM7.1 STABLE
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-Flash ICS BETA1
-Flash kernel
-FOR THE SECOND TIME:
-Flash ICS BETA1 AGAIN
-Flash kernel AGAIN
Same issue, black screen after the FuguMod boot screen, buttons still light up.
So i tried a couple more times in a few different ways based off what I have already tried, but this time, before booting into ICS for the first time, I installed the 'Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip' package.
Same issue. I'm not having any luck here.

OK so here is what I did ...
Started from MIUI 1.11.18
1. Do a nandroid backup
2. download all the files to the SD card. This includes the ROM, Kernel and super user fix
Links:
Kernel:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip
ROM:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1-i9000.zip
Super User:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
3. Boot to recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and davlik cache
4. Install the Kernel first and reboot now
5. Boot into recovery factory reset and wipe cache and Davlik and Install the ROM then reboot now
6 Boot back to recovery and install the Kernel again with out the wipe
7. If after reboot you do not have root then boot to recovery and flash super user fix
8. reboot and it should be working at least it was for me
It seems to me that you are missing the first flash of the kernel before the ROM. It sets up the file system from what I gather
Note: If needed flash the kernel and rom then kernel again with all the wipes as mentioned above.
I know there are allot of folks having issues getting it to run. Not too sure if it was the way I installed MIUI that might have made the difference.
My battery is charging now so I can calibrate it and see how it goes after that (it drained pretty quick today) lol.
I hope you can get it going cause it truly is awesome
Still not working:
Can not charge with the phone off
Google TTS stops working
Phone will not vibrate for SMS or email when in silent mode
BLN stays on for notifications until the phone is taken out of sleep (can be turned off)
Compass is why off (have not attempted to calibrate yet though)
11 MB left in the system partition (not much but I do not think there will be many changes there)
Video play back is choppy and some will not play
Bucky
regarding the black screen:
- had that too... I let it sit on the black screen for 2-3 minutes and then it went to the boot screen animation (a multi-coloured )...that for a few minutes...then finally booted.
How i got it working:
a) Started on MIUI...booted into clockwork
b) Backup
c) Wipe data / factory reset and cache and dalvik cache
d) Install rom and then kernel
e) Restart
f) Install rom and then kernel
g) Restart and wait very patiently for a little while
h) Once it all works, can reboot into clockwork and install superuser
Good luck! I really think the rom is nearly stable enough for daily use...
-------
Also have the no vibrate on silent... haven't tried the other stuff yet.
Oh and TTS hasn't crashed on this version yet for me...
Astrid glitches a little to a lot.
Changing from google tts to picco tts solves the problem there. As for the other stuff it is all reported as known.
I am using as a daily on my phone and no issues with general use. Still testing battery and that seems to be a bit of an issue with regard to Android OS as usual

Hi all, I was wondering if you could help with an annoying issue I'm having.
I made a big mistake by updating to an ICS Rom, it worked fine apart from the accelerometer which stopped 100%. I did a backup, but system crashed and that's the end of that backup
1: I've since downgraded to Honey Comb Acer_A500_7.14.14_COM_GEN1, but Accelerometer still won't work, I don't know why, is there some fix or file to replace or anything like that.
2: Second question, because I updated to ICS the boot loader got updated also, is there a way to revert the boot loader back to the original so the end product would be a 100% original
This is a 16GB UK version of the A500, so any help would really be grateful. Even if I can get both the boot loader and OS to original I can then send it off to Acer for repair.
Kindest Regards to all
Garret
Man, I don't have an Acer iconia, but I have a Samsung galaxy player 5.0 and I just experienced the same issue after trying an ICS ROM.
When I searched for a way to solve my problem, I've seen many many users (increasingly, indeed) with the same kind of problem. It's hard to think that so many users are having accelerometer hardware fail. I believe it's not physical problem, mostly because this kind of issue happens after ppl try modding their phones/tabs or changing roms. I've seen some users talking about removing a sensorfile yamaha.cfg and trying to reboot the device. That didn't solve my problem, or executing:
"sensorcalibutil_yamaha"
It is under /system/bin/, you can see that with root explore.
Unfortunately, didn't work for me. Hope it works for you.
Best regards.
Thanks for your reply, I found a way of down grading the bootloader and OS to 3.0.2 which fixed it, then updated the odds to the latest and back working 100%.
Hello, same issue for me, accelerometer doesn't work anymore! I had yesterday the official ICS fota. Is there a patch somewhere for this problem?
after official Acer ICS update - Accelerometer quit?
My A500 pad just quit doing auto-rotate just about 30 mins after I applied the "official" ICS update to my device. I haven't done anything different, I did lock the pad into portrait to read some stuff, but unlocked it (manual switch) and it was fine then all of a sudden - it stopped rotating between portrait and landscape. The switch now has no effect on it. Of course there's not a setting to change the rotation either. Argh? I was so excited to get ICS - not this goofs on me? I see quite a lot of posts about people who experience this from hacking around on their tablet or phone - I haven't hacked on this one at all - its the "official" stuff... Reset didn't help.

I need to do the exact same thing. Could you please let me know what you did to start all over and get all the OTAs?
Thanks!
One could conjecture that if the accelerometer is stuffed, so would the orientation detection be.
Cause and effect?

Same here but a reboot cured it.
anyone find a fix for this ? im on the official with no root ics update and mine has also stopped auto rotating.
What did you use to do the downgrade back to 3.0.2?

The only solution I found so far is keepin rebooting, eventually at some point accelerometer starts to work.

If any off you had a leak and altered boot loader prior to install, it may have caused that. You should have had a 2 step optimizing process in the update, when I tested it on a leaked/flashed back version the bootloader was wrogn and that issue resulted. The stock had no issue and went through the full hardware optimizing process.
Also you shoudl have applied the market place update first, it has a pre fix to prepare it for patching.
Hey guys, i also have the same issue with accelerometer. I downgraded the a500 to Honeycomb and it fixed now.
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012

the guides to rollback posted above can be used on an official pad , with no hack or root stuffs ?
No, it rolls you back to rooted 3.2.1. with stock bootloader. Once ur back, you can load your official 3.2 rom on an SD, use Pwr + Volume down to update to it. Then OTA to ICS.
Just saw a guy posted a system of methods to completely wipe all the system files (not just most) and clean install ICS which supposedly fixes the accelerometer problem.
Accelerometer / ICS
I sent my tab back to Acer for repair, they say they replaced the "motherboard" and it did work fine on stock ICS as returned for a while. Periodically it would stick in orientation and not auto-rotate, but a power cycle with a few minutes in between seemed to always bring it back ok. NOW - nothing I do brings it back - its working the very same way it was when it originally experienced this issue. I don't want to send this slab back to Acer every couple of months and deal with setting it back up when they ship it to me a week or so later. This is rediculous or am I just being picky?
Anyhow - How bout a reference or link for the info on downgrading, wiping ICS and re-installing from scratch as mentioned above? That would be helpful if I knew where to look.
UPDATE: This morning, based on another post about finding errors in the bootlog, I downloaded the bootlog capture app, ran it, and poof - the auto-rotate function came back to life - like magic. I'm sure it was NOT the app, but rather the fact that I had powered down the unit and let it sit all night long without touching it or powering it on/off, etc. so at least for now, I won't be sending it back to Acer for Warranty repair (AGAIN). BUT I might be listing it rather quickly on ebay and shopping for another tab that doesn't have this issue....
I have had this issue and normally a power cycle fixes it. I did have one time where it did not but I found an article that said to do a hard reset. You do this with a paper clip pushed into the very small hole. I did not lose any data.

take a look at this. It work for me.

delete the last dots.
As a noob, I could not post this in the thread where it applied. I hope someone sees it and passes it along.
Problem: the tab does not automatically rotate the screen image when you rotate the orientation of the device. The lock switch is "unlocked". The problem arose after the ICS update was applied.
I found this link in another device forum that seems to be dealing with the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592170#
Basically, he replaced the accelerometor sensor driver files I think.
Hopefully one of the developers here will see this and can hookup with the other author to see what is really going on finally.
Until then, we need to keep a safety pin handy to hard reset the A500 when it goes insane.

Clean boot your tab. This will force the OS to install itself again.
Note: Clean boot will erase all the data/information which is saved on your tablet. Recommend you to back up the data before performing a clean boot.
1. Shutdown the tablet
2. Press and hold volume up key (the key next to rotation lock) until you finish step 4.
3. Press power button for 3 seconds until you feel device vibrates then release power button.
4. Once you feel device vibrates, very quick to switch on/off "rotation key" many times (this activity has to be done very fast, otherwise it will not succeed). To ensure you succeed, switch on/off rotation key when Acer logo appears on screen.
5. Wait for a while (you will see Erase Userdata and Erase Cache on top-left corner on screen), device will reboot and start from OOBE screen.
See if that fixes it.
Didn't work for me had to factory reset tab to get accelometer working again. This is the second time.

Erasing as suggested did not help. Only thing found to help so far has been the pinhole hard reset. And, even that did not work once I flashed to "Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1" version. I reverted back to what Acer had pushed to me, and it is working as well as before, meaning, it works as long as you have a pin ready to stick in it.
I have something to add to this thread. The auto-rotation issue started for me after switching to the V3 ICS bootloader.
I kind of found a workaround for it. (If you can call it that)
If I start or reboot my tablet in portrait mode. Auto-rotate works
If I start or reboot my tablet in landscape mode. Auto-rotate does not work.
This happens each and every time. It happens on Civato's new FlexReaper ROM & with Smaury's Lightspeed ROM.
Moscow? Thoughts?
Apparently how I finally solved this problem is by flashing the custom ICS bootloader V4 (read: V4 ONLY). Had tried V3, V6 and it doesn't work.
Had tried both custom ROM and stock ROM the problem will still persists with the said bootloader. But once on V4, it just works like a charm.
I have the same issue with the ratation.

How do I flash custom ICS bootloader V4? Where is it available? And can it be flashed on top of a stock Acer ICS ROM?
FWIW, although I LOVE having Android tablets, issues like this drive me away from Android phones as I can't deal with this sort of bugginess on my daily use phone.
Ahhh, my other half has just phoned me about this, seems it started doing it after she dropped the tablet, I put the ICS update on it the other week, be nice if its a simple fix instead of a me having to take it to bits and repairs it fix..
Although I could give her my Xoom and then use that as an excuse to get myself something new
auto rotat pro
dude plz helppp......................I have to keep auto rotate off.:crying:
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
I guess I could whack it and start over, but that blows! That would at least tell me something I guess.
It's really irritating. And I dont wat to do......helpppppppppppp:crying::crying::crying:

Charge current - allows you to set custom charging current. While this actually limits the current input, it effectively decreases or increases the available current transferred to the battery. This is useful in multiple ways:
Slower, but more effective charging. Your battery will last longer.
Faster charging when connected to USB. For example, USB charging is limited to 500mA, but newer PCs allow drawing up to 800mA or even more. This can be configured via the setting.
Manual override of non-standard charger allowing to draw more than 500mA.
Magnetic sensor calibration - lets you delete previous calibration information. This is useful to recalibrate the compass (when it's inaccurate). Just tap the item & then open any compass up to recalibrate your sensor.

Did you do a factory reset before?
And does it show the cm logo or just boot to recovery?

before installing the rom, i've wiped everything, data, cache, system and dalvkit cache, reboot recovery. After installed the rom, and right after, installed the gapps. Then, in recovery, reboot system and after it show the huawei logo, it enters recovery without showing the CM logo.
EDIT: i will install ble_part stock, and them install again the B518, repartition again and try to install CM again.
Booted and installed just fine after doing Blepart and using your recovery. It's slow as molasses, probably in great part due to the fact that the display glitches are still there, but it certainly works, and it's as much KitKat as my Moto G. Something worth mentioning, your recovery has some sort (the same?) of display glitch as well in which the screen only seems to update after a couple of presses of the volume button, not immediately.
ROM and GAPPS, everything works fine.
No glitches for me.
Great job, thanks!

I don't have any devices to compare it with so it feels "fast" to me. Its great to know the recovery suffers same display bugs, it confirms that its in fact kernel side problem. Though, kernel side does not have BLT enabled, which I thought would be the problem. I'll debug the registers, and see if I can find something odd. It could also be a clock hz issue, it was changed in 3.4.

Well, it stutters a lot, and it's not nearly as smooth as something like Aurora or even stock Huawei ROMs, but I'm sure it's related to the display issues or another issue like that because even scrolling through the Settings app or the little animation in the notification drawer that flips into the shortcuts stutters like hell and drags around, which shouldn't be an issue for this device and wasn't a problem with other ROMs, and overclocking and other user-level optimizations do nothing to alleviate it.
I did also notice black screens when waking the device from lockscreen (digitizer still works) almost every time, requiring multiple attempts until the display finally wakes. I know you squashed this one multiple times, but here it is again.
It's a miracle for this to happen to begin with, so I can't help to be amazed seeing KitKat on this device. Thank YOU so much, Blefish.

Finally i could get it to boot.
probably i broke something, i've installed the oficial rom and then, with 5.5.0.4 recovery wiped everything. Next installed the blepart, new recovery and its working
Good job sir

is anyone having problems to connect to wifi networks? i cant connect
EDIT: i guess that is a problem with the wireless definition of the rom, im thinking this, because i can connect to open networks, but when i change the segurity of the wlan to wpa or wpa2, i can't connect to it.
Could you look at this @Blefish?
Im not sure if its a bug or not, maybe something is broken in wpa.supplicant
