Install taboony 2.2 rom and richards 3.7 kernel. Look in the development section and youll find both there.
Im pretty sure ive seen the market issue around but i never read up on it, just use the search funtion. But the rom and kernel i suggested is faster than what you currently have.
Try this guy, he seems to update his ROMs. VirtuPicasso is discontinued now, no more updates. So stick with the living guys

I'm a bigger noob than u are, so I've some question for u; which I'm afraid to ask the senior members for they might get mad for asking them stupid nooby questions; since you u recently learned these tricks u must be very excited to answer my questions.
Q1 Why and how would I flash custom rom to my a500?
Q2 If I constantly flash rom to my device would it harm my device in any way?

Personally i would recommend the Rooted Stock 3.2. I played with few ROMs. And came to conclusion almost all ROMs have some sort issues. Nothing major just different minor ones.
But that Rooted Stock 3.2 is one of the best so far IMO. No issues with any thing runs smoothly/flawlessly. I am using it with Thor Kernel 3.7.

Dude dont worry about asking nooby question, we were all noob once, hell i still am lol. As long you are being respectful and not bashing on the OS for no reason, no one will mind helping or answering your question. Any way back to your questions
Since you new just a heads up. Dont do OTA 3.2 update, or you will have to downgrade and then Root the device.
A1. I am going to assume you have Rooted Device. Why you flash ROM: Well different ROM comes with different app, and may be some added support to hard wares you want, that your stock dont have. Also they have fix for some problems that the stock has, higher efficiency too may be... you get the point.
How you Flash ROM Video Tutorial to give you general idea: Once you have CWM installed, you just get what ever ROM you like to try, put that in SD card. Go in CWM menu, do the necessary wipes of appropriate section. Then install the ROM from SD.
WHAT EVER ROM YOU DECIDE TO USE, JUST READ EVERY THING CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU DIVE IN IT
As for flashing ROM constantly, it will not harm your device, least not that i am aware off. Just as long as you follow proper instructions. Its just like installing windows on PC over and over...
Hi there,
I am new to the iconia forums but not new to android. I already have a heavily customized Xperia X10.
What I am looking for is a pre rooted stock 3.2 ROM. CWM is installed and works.
I have read so many threads but I am still not sure wich file to use.
It's a A500 with Acer_A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7 ROM. The new one should work in Germany.
Can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance.
Karl
I am running taboonay 2.2 using the latest Thor kernel and am very happy. It is rock solid even overcooked.
Vache has removed most of the bloat, and but offers a kitchen to add back anything you want.
If you are looking for total stock for your locale, and someone else will need to chime in.

Have a look at the DEV section of this forum, read about each ROM, and then decide which one best meets your individual needs, and desires.
He's asking for a STOCK ROM, only that it's pre-rooted. He isn't asking for taboonay or such. Work on reading-comprehension.
well in the dev section there are some rooted stock, you will have to dig a few pages back
heres one one the second page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265847 not sure if you will get any conflict with u being in germany
if u feel adventurous taboonay has always been solid, its built of a acers' rom just adds some goodies for drive mounts and stuff(usefully for plugging in external hard drives
@ snickle
Thanks buddy. But as WereCatf pointed out, I am looking for a stock ROM. But I missed that Kitchen-thingy when I first read that thread. Seems promising. But it requires registering so I didn't look any further in to it so far.
@ kjy2010
Also Thanks to you! I glanced through the dev section. But most of the ROMs have been cleaned by creators in some way. I would like to decide myself. But as there doesn't seem to be such a ROM that I am looking for, I will probably test one or the other custom ROMs.
@ all others
Thank you!

You can always grab a completely stock ROM, install SU, and busybox before installing the ROM on your tab, and you'll have exactly what you want

Is it really that easy? OMG! My brain is so twistet that I think too complicated (more or less). I thought rooting will be gone with every update.
Thanks M8
Karl
Karl, you still have to root and install a recovery (the best method). How else are you gonna be able to flash that rooted stock rom?
Magic wishes???
If you look in the dev section, there is a post for a US based stock rom. What is important, is that it gives instructions on how to do it with your own rom.

I guess I needed to be a bit more explicit with my response. I had no idea he'd take it that way!
I have been lurking the forums for a few weeks now and I have tried a few of the rom in the
Development area. The honeylicus rom is nice just installed kjy2010 version this morning.
Very nice rom . Hope I help some

Hi Karl.
For a European Stock Rom 3.2 with root (version Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1) I went here :
xda
http:__forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280457
it is available to download from here
http:__code.google.com/p/acer-a500/downloads/list
and there is even a very good tutorial in German on how to install it :
http:__www.android-hilfe.de/1703451-post1.html
I have been running it for 2 months without a glitch
Hi jodokus77,
thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the GEN1 ROM was apllicable for german region.
What I am going to do next is to receive the OTA 3.2 Update without installing it. Guess it will be placed in the download folder. If it is not a GEN1 or GEN2 ROM, I will root it myself following the instructions in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290318
Karl
Finally I did it as jodokus77 supposed.
Everything is working as expected.
Karl
Ok Karl,
Think some of us were a bit confused with exactly what you wanted
Close, but, no cigar (old phrase) as we say...
Glad you're happy with it!
Hello! I created a new xda account with my new gmail account, anyways, I used to have a verizon fascinate and am no stranger to device tampering. My name is Gabriel and am a huge fun of the nexus 7! anyways, so i flashed over Clemsyn1.5extremeUndervoltedFINAL.zip using google nexus 7 tookit and twrp recovery. I received an OTA update getting me to JZO54 a while back and i think this is my issue. After the flash, it went to boot up and was stuck at the x screen the whole 8 hours i was asleep! i would very much like this kernel to work because im tired of choppy framerates! If someone has been in this situtation and has a kernel suggestion and maybe "how to" guidance. Im in the team win recovery project ready to flash kernel but i dont know how to install a zip that isnt already in my internal storage! this is where im stuck. I also would like an overclocked 1.5 cpu/gpu to 600 kernel if possible, thats what the original one i had tried to flash was. Please help me install another kernel and let me know where to get this kernel and links would be appreciated!!! i know this is a great community and hope to hear from someone today or soon
Welcome! Clemsyn's kernel currently doesn't work with Android 4.1.2, only 4.1.1 you need to flash another kernel.

thank you! yes i figured that out the hard way..... but what i need help with is flashing another kernel without being able to mount my tablet to my computer so i can move the new zip file with the kernel in it. also, i can go back to stock but i have been looking for a moderate cpu kernel like 1.5 and a gpu clock off 600, i dont know if this is only available to clemsyn's but just figured i would ask

Clemsyn's kernel was updated a few days ago to work with 4.1.2, and I can verify that it works very well. I believe he started a new thread that has a link for the new kernel.

thanks for that info! ill give a search but a link would be appreciated. Its seeming to get hard and harder to find info with the mass of topics around here. Anyways, i still do not know how to do this. can someone please help me? haha my issue is
HOW DO I FLASH A ZIP WITH TEAM WIN RECOVERY WHEN I CANNOT MOUNT MY TABLET TO MY COMPUTER THUS THE ZIP NOT BEING IN THE ROOT OF THE TABLET? IS THERE A WAY TO FLASH ANOTHER KERNEL WHILE I AM STUCK IN EITHER FASTBOOT OR ENDLESS LOOP BOOT WITH THE X IN THE SCREEN? I DONT KNOW HOW TO FLASH A ZIP IN THIS SITUATION. I KNOW HOW TO FLASH IT NORMALLY WHEN I AM IN ANDROID AND CAN PUT THE ZIP INSIDE THE ROOT AND FIND IT IN TEAM WIN AND FLASH BUT NOT WHEN I CANT MOUNT. IS THIS UNDERSTOOD?
im sorry for the caps hahaha i guess im just frustrated. It seems no one understands my main question
In recovery connected to PC type in cmd
Adb push filename.zip /sdcard/
Also apologizing for caps and typing haha doesn't make it any less annoying.

ha, now now no need to be rude here. I was stating that it was frustrating that people seemed to have over looked my main question and was simply emphasizing, my apologies if its a pet peeve of yours. I figure you must be some sort of wiz Metallice, and i appreciate your help! I have a program ive been using to root called nexus 7 toolkit. I looked around and found this ( Flashable kernel from 4.1.2 JZO54K http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12008411/ker...per-jzo54k.zip ) which is the stock kernel it states atleast, and this.. ( ClemsynELITEBatterySaverStock.zip ) which is a battery saving kernel. Im sure you know this, but I was looking to overclock my device to hopefully 1.5 ghz with a 600mhz gpu. It might be asking a bit much, but was hoping someone would be able to walk me through pushing the zip using the nexus 7 toolkit and finding a overclock kernel to flash over. This is what im having problems doing because i am quite new to the nexus 7 and the programs used! only way to be good at something is to learn, please teach me so I can stop asking dumb questions and hopefully help someone in the future!

Don't bump, read the sticky threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 and use your brain.
ha thanks for the help i guess. People on here sure are rude when they help you, im sorry if my bumping was not to your liking. I am new to this forum and this is a ****ty welcome ha. Not everyone is as smart as you when it comes to this stuff. Am i just expected to know terms and methods? i appreciate the help but am disappointed because i thought i was going to meet some nice helpful enthusiasts and have friendly conversations, but instead i just get half assed answers as if im supposed to know what im doing. This isnt ASUS's fault, its mine. But i was hoping to tamper and become a pro with atleast my device. Maybe I dont belong in the android game
Hi,
Got a new nexus 7, unlocked it and rooted it. Love it
Nexus 7: Version 4.2.1
Kernel Version: 3.1.10-g22b4fcd
Paranoid Android Version: 2.99
Build Number: Pa_grouper-userdebug 4.2.1 JOP40D
I found that when i scrolled down through web pages the browser was very glitchy, overall i found the processor to not quiet have that umph for smooth operations i expected.
So i decided to flash it with the "Elite Kernel" . System just got stuck in boot.
Not sure whether this kernel is suitable for the Rom installed!
Any advice in overclocking this device is much appreciated.
Cheers
Don't think elite works with 4.2 yet. Try the latest trinity kernel, it is working well for me.

The download links at the Android Revolution HD ROM aren't working in the original thread.
Does anyone have any alternate link?
Can anyone upload it somewhere please?
If you want a stock rom with root access I'd suggest Revolver. It has all the ASUS widgets you were looking for in the other thread you posted, but with a lot of tweaks to make it perform faster. It's (in my opinion) the best ICS rom that looks like what you got out of the box.
Having said that, the Jellybean (4.2.1) roms are pretty awesome.

I installed ARHD ROM. Went to their IRC and got the link.
I've refrained from JB ROMs because of the lack of Asus apps only. Also, I quite dislike the change in the bottom buttons, notification panel, etc..
I had tried RaymanFX 4.2.1 ROM v0.6 It was laggy for me. It's become better now I suppose?
About Revolver, should I go for it over ARHD?
The thread's too long and I wasn't sure about what Revolver Parts were being mentioned on the thread, so I stayed away from that one.
Revolver Parts were recently discontinued. Essentially they were just add-ons via an app on Google Play. When I ran ICS I used Revolver after spending a lot of time reading through each thread. It's the closest to the stock rom I could find and was pretty happy with it. I didn't go as far as installing Revolver so I can't say if it's better or not.
I'm currently using ARHD and am quite satisfied with the performance. I'd upgrade to 4.2.x sometime in the future perhaps. RaymanFX or something..
From your signature...EOS has come out with 4.2.x ROMs? Last I saw they were 4.1.x based. Or I might have missed something.
I had flashed RaymanFX's ROM but didn't like the changes made in JellyBean. So I switched back to ARHD.
Also, Camera etc weren't working back then on 4.2.x ROMs. If any 4.2.x ROM gets stable enough, I'd gladly upgrade.
Hey there.
I'm looking for a way to get the tablet UI back on 4.2.1. Every thread I read, the offered solutions were for the WiFi devices only. I sincerly hope I just misread or didnt read the appropriate threads.
If possible I'd like to avoid flashing a rom altogether. I'm pretty satisfied with rooted stock status as of now.
Help appreciated
AOKP, ParanoidAndroid and CodeFireX are also there for 3G version and have TabletUI in them
I think it was only possible on 4.1 Google took it out of 4.2
So your best option is to find a ROM with tab ui cooked in.
