Dear Friends,
does anyone have an ice cream sandwich upgrade for the lenovo ideapad k1?
i see so much upgrades for other tablets but none for the ideapad k1. can someone pls come up with an upgrade for this specific tablet. its a great tablet but not enough ppl pay attention to it. anyways, it would be great to hear some kinda reply from anyone about an ice cream sandwich upgrade.
thanks!
I read in lenovo forums that there will be one in a non OTA mid June.

There has been a noteworthy increase of traffic on the Lenovo Forums on this subject. I've followed it for several months and seen links to promises of OTA upgrade to ICS for the K1 but no results so far. Here is a link to a message that contains a link to a download of files for the OTA upgrade. Problem is, how do you use them to do the upgrade IF you download them. I'm back here at XDA to investigate whether rooting and using a mod might be preferable to waiting for Lenovo to keep its promise.
Here is the link to the aforementioned directory of OTA files for the K1 upgrade.

so.. what roms are out now? seems the /DEV forum has out of date stuff... is there a working ICS, is honeycomb the way to go??
Currently, there is CyanogenMod 7.1 and all it's derivatives (Phiremod, MiRaGe, etc.) available, and there is also work being done an ICS port by dalingrin, fattire, and other developers.
There was also a Honeycomb SDK port that was canceled because ICS is deprecating it anyway, and source also wasn't available.
The newest ice cream sandwich roms are starting to show up. Still pretty buggy, but they are looking good.
How helpful is this to our samsung galaxy tab 10.1

Since all those are pre-compiled binaries.. theres really not much to do.. =(
Think of it as a very generic Honeycomb ROM; what we need is sources!.

ics 4.0.3 ou 4.0.4 ?
According to this website (http://lesardoises.com/10079/acer-e...-a-jour-vers-android-4-0-debute.html#comments), ICS has tarted rolling out for some french users today ! At least some readers reported so !!! Great news !
4.0.3 for mine, updated today.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ns-pushing-jelly-bean-to-the-iconia-tab-a700/ A700 got jelly bean OTA already...can we port this to our A500? hehehehe
A700 is a Tegra3 based device. It also has newer GPU, so the gfx drivers are not compatible. I don't think there are any benefits in trying to port it. It is better to use CM10 preview which is probably more stable now than this port would ever be .
I can't post the link, but the TO JB rom is very stable, and has things working that the CM10 preview doesn't. Most people here don't know about it because you can't post the link to it here for various reasons.
I'm not telling you to go install this, I'm just saying its very possible to build JB from the ground up for this device which works a lot better than porting, ports are relatively limited.
A500, will work with 6.0? We already had 5.0 and it's still work... Some of bugs but don't worry about them anyway... I knew that http://forum.tegraowners.com been having that ROM 5.0 but it's almost been year they didn't update yet when they're already released 5.0 for our Acer A500 and A501 but never been get updates like 4.0 did until 4.4.4 then new released 5.0 and stopped update... We do not understand why... But we're hopeful you're going release updates for fixes some bugs for 5.0 please? If you're development who still work on that, then please let us know ASAP... Because we do not want A500 and A501 become no long to be able same what we have already (6.0) and (6.0.1)...
Thank you for your time, We won't let A500 and A501 down, because they're helping us lots, lot fun too!
