How to tell if you are on HC or ICS bootloader? - Acer Iconia A500

I rooted my tablet a few months ago and can't remember what I used. I want to flash to a new ROM and didn't know if I am on HC or ICS bootloader. How do I check?

With acer install recovery you ll see your bootloader

Because some things NEVER change? That's my guess.

Can this thread be moved? I'm in the same position as the OP, flashed a few months ago. I think I have one of the first builds from flexreaper ICS however when I try to flash CM10 it gives me build prop errors. Any help?

Miui? Is it possible

Is there any chance that someone could port/create a miui rom for a500. Obviously v4 so it wouldn't be back tracking to gingerbread. I would think it possible since we have ics working,

this thread should be posted in general section, or Q&A section, not a new thread in development.

@lifecoding, hum? well the porting of MiUi is related to a development question more than an general question... whatever...
@warfenix : the Patchcode is available for MIUI, I think so it possible to be ported.
but since its a question, well then how about q&a?......whatever
Sent from my Iconia A500 using Tapatalk
I think its possible, yes, but you need to find a dev who wants to port it across. That might be the difficult bit...
Seems we need an ASOP rom, or CM ROM running on the tablet, then replace some files... well seems easy to say but dunno about when need to be done...
I will not risk my tablet right now, I need it for work
Hell im game to test, a different rom wouldnt be bad, variety is what the a500 needs...

um he's asking a question, not posting a rom, tutorial, kernel, ect... which is what development section is for.
So uh, belongs in Q&A. Next time think before you type and read xda rules and guidelines.

Miui is much more than an iPad. Yes an miui port is possible and "may" being worked on right now. I ported the miui rom to the pyramid for many months and have considered doing one on the A500. But miui is heavily cyanogenmod based. Once cm9 is established on the tablet there are many possibilities for roms. But getting there is the hard part and I am greatful for the people who are working on cm9 for the iconia.

I already tried porting it using this guide. Unfortunately it didn't boot - reached MIUI boot screen and that was all. I used Tegraowners ROM 144 as a base(AOSP based) and MIUI 2.4.6 ROM - tried from several deviced with no luck. I see arrom1983 managed to boot MIUI on Galaxy 10.1" tab - see this thread....but there are no updates on the progress apparently.

robkoehler, sorry my friend but this is completely wrong. Please don't start another flame war about MIUI being the same as iStuff. You can replace default MIUI launcher and still have MIUI functionality that is way better than Android's default . Other that that, there are plethora of features I could count if you want me to.

The Unofficial CyanogenMod Series - added aokp-jellybean test build

Hi all I will be working this a little. But don't expect anything to great. I don't have a whole lot of time to work on this. I bricked my phone and not having much luck getting it replaced. So I won't be working on this to much until I can get a new phone as I will be spending all my time working.
Most stuff posted here is probably gonna be untested.
I will be posting cm7, cm9, and cm10 builds here.
Idk if any of these work.
Don't get mad at me if they brick your device. Infact treat them with a high chance of brickage, unless otherwise noted.

I've honestly lost count of all your posts that offer absolutely nothing helpful or relevant to the discussion.
I understand theres not much of a point to this. The main reason for this thread is cm10 as all the other cm10 roms don't have the stock cm kernel. But since I build the other ones anyways i figured I'd post them. And I'll post install instructions.

You'll likely receive a lot of flak over re-hosting/posting stuff as you've seen thus far, but if you're offering something you've re-worked in any way(which is what I understand you're doing) then I'd stick with just that and link to other threads in your OP if necessary.
If you compiled from CM10 source here we have CM10 kernel for Captivate (no datadata partition).
This is very interesting.
Thank you very much: if compiling went well this is really an important step for JB on Cappy and now we can run also official Pawitp builds.

Yes this is compiled from source specifically for the captivate.

I'm fine with different versions of ROMs, but you guys should team up with the cm10 development we have going on here with some developers with great talent, waydownsouth, randomblame, gh123man and others.
EDIT:
This is the same work as the current cm10 ROM on the forums, this should be deleted for duplicate ROM posted.

anyone have 4.4 working on atrix 4g?
Has anyone got 4.4 to boot on atrix i heard you need an updated cwm recovery so i have 6.0.4.7 recovery now so if any new info plz post. Willing to test if anyone has a build
Ok to reword my last post so no confusion. I am not asking for a finished shiny new rom to play with i am offering my device to test the things any dev has on atrix 4g regarding cm11 i also know from reading other posts that the older cwm recovery doesnt play well with cm11 i couldnt even get itvto flash 4.3.1 so had to update to 6.0.4.7 sorry getting off subject but as someone here posted they got it to install but no boot well would the recovery have anythingvto do with that. I want to learn alot more then i know but no pc right now when i do get one i will get more into this so i can contribute my knowledge as well. Thanks in advance to any response

I too am willing to offer my Atrix for testing. But will as soon as we have a stable 3.1.10 kernel.
To correct myself i have cwm 6.0.4.6 not 6.0.4.7 sorry for the mistake
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
even if you manage to build a proper cm11 rom for atrix, there are still kernel issues to be solved. My personal advice is to work on kernel adjustments and tweaks (or whatsoever.)
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not a dev. However the problem as I see it is that you're working on a kernel for an older version of android. Why not just go around the problem and try to make it work with the newer version instead? I mean when it works fully it most likely won't work with KitKat right away anyway right?
