Hi,
Are there some news about the sensor issues in combination with ics bootloader on some a500/g100w tablets?
I tried all ics BL's till v8 but the most sensors doesnt't work after installing the ics BL.
Already tried full wipe, back to hc 3.2.1 rom and back, etc. Only the hc BL works.
Sent from my PB G100w

I installed the leak after getting pissed about how long it took to get ics and how terrible honeycomb was. The leak has been incredible and made my tab sooth as butter... However I am afraid I won't get the official update which hopefully will be patched to include the ring.
How can I flash back to stock 3.2.1? I have I have looked all over and haven't seen a clear cut solution
Thx
if u r on hc bootloader all things bein equal then try a nand restore - worked for me.
if it doesnt or u on ics bootloader then its an EUU/manual apx downgrade procedure.
i've since flashed flexreaper, acer ring works perfect and so i'm sticking with it till the furore dies down and acer have their rom stable
Hi guys,
I've a rooted Liberty Tab with Acer A500 HC 3.2.1 and a full nandroid backup to go back to PB stock ROM.
I would like to update to ICS, but I know that ICS requires a new bootloader, and as far as I understand, it's not possible to revert back to HC bootloader.
Is this right?
The first choice I have is to update my tablet with a modded A500 ICS rom, and I will loose (forever) my PB HC bootloader.
Otherwise I can go back to stock PB rom, accept PB 3.2.1 update and wait for PB ICS OTA (does it exists?)
Any other suggestion?
Is it stable to use ICS with HC bootloader? I didn't understand if it's ok or it's only a workaround but not stable.
Many thanks!
Hi,
you can use, as an example, the Flexreaper Rom with the HC Bootloader without any probs. The Rom has an autodetection for the bootloader and installs the right Kernel accordingly.
I did this from the beginning of the Flexreaper Rom until last R12.5.
Last week I decided to change the Bootloader to the ICS V3 patched. The same way I installed the V3 pathed ICS Bootloader, could be used also to flashe the HC bootloader back. But as mentioned, not really needed.
The Flexreaper Rom is excellent, give it a try.

After running a rooted stock ICS on my A500 for a while, I upgraded to JB using pjsports "ROM | WIP | CM10 JellyBean 4.1.2 Unofficial for acer a500 [Build 3]"
In the process, I used the AfterOTA tool to install the ICS V8 unlocked bootloader, as well as an updated kernel I believe.
Aside from a few glitches, the ROM worked okay, but I think I had the memory leak problem everyone talks about... My icons & widgets on the homescreen would disappear, forcing me to reboot. I ultimately flashed back to an ICS rom, but maintained the kernel and bootloader. To my surprise, the problem with the homescreen icons remained, forcing me to reboot at least once a day.
I ended up reflashing the stock ICS unrooted rom with stock kernel and bootloader, then went through the rooting process again.
The tablet has been running smoothly ever since with no memory leak issue.
So I'm wondering... Is the memory leak and homescreen icon problem really a problem with the Jelly Bean ROMs or is there possibly a problem with the bootloader or kernel?
Hi to all
After Testing many methods for installing Bootloaders and Different roms, I finally Got TWRP 2.3.3 + Honeycomb 3.2.1 (provided by root-3.2.1-V4 Working together fine.
Very strangely, When I try to flash Any AROMA-INSTALLER enabled ICS or Jellybean rom, Aroma installer Freezes in TWRP 2.3.3 and Other Civato-based roms flash but Nothing loads.
TWRP 2.3.3 is installed based on Skriylax_CS Bootloader V8.
.. ALL Honeycomb Roms install and work just fine.
Who knows what could be the problem? .
Thanks
Is your recovery.

Hello only certain recoveries work with ICS. download Acer Recovery Installer from the store and choose one of the recoveries from the list they provide.
Hello XDA Users, I have a very basic question regarding my ACER A500 upgrade. So far, I have tried every single avenue to upgrade my tablet to ICS but nothing worked. I am not sure, is this because of current HC ROM with ICS unlocked bootloader, but every time I flash any ICS ROM, I am stuck at booting primary kernel message from (V8 unlocked ICS bootloader) or ACER boot logo. But if I flash HC full ROM (3.1/3.2), everything works just fine. Some may say this is a repeat post, but I didn't get any answers from my earlier question, so decided to rephrase the question in simple manner.
At one point, I had ICS ROM successfully running on tablet with V8 bootloader but one fine day it decided not to boot up at all. And I have to go back to basic using TDV4.
Now I am on HC Rooted ROM with Thor CWM based recovery and V8 bootloader. If you need any further details to get me on ICS, please let me know.
Thanks
