Hi all,
I would like to know how difficult could be the porting between an a500 version and an a501. Is'n it simply a question of 3G drivers and build.prop file ?
Thanks in advance

Getting 3g to work in JB is really rather easy. You can use the ppp widget provided the build was made with 3g support. waydownsouth and I had it actually running normal on biscuits. Getting GPS to work is a different story. Currently nobody has been able to get it working using an ics bootloader, and only limited success on the rare hc bootloader build. The 501 uses a completely different GPS radio.

Hi all,
Planning on getting a Xoom, but trying to do my usual research isn't going particularly well. I've been searching through all the threads looking for the usual mods, but am completely confused with what works for the UK / Euro Xooms?
I have found a guide on rooting the UK version, but do the OC kernels work? Are they the same as the US versions?
Sorry if this has been covered a million times, i'm just not finding a great deal of info other than "I bricked my Xoom by flashing X,Y or Z!
Thanks In Advance,
Dex
yes. tiamat kernel 1.4.x, clockwork 3.0.2.8 are compatible with euro xoom. learn more HERE.
So the kernel has nothing to do with the 3g side of things?
Sorry for being numb, dealt with quite a few android devices, but there seems to be a lot of Xoom paperweights being made and don't want to make the same mistake.
Many thanks!
kernel should be seperate from the os. however, if not developed properly could affect 3g.
hey, good question. ask everything you need before you move forward on something your not sure of.

Will do mate, Many thanks!
Hi , did you manage to flash using the tiamat kernel, I have a uk xoom 3g, I would like to use tiamat as I want to overclock . So confused how to do this. Tried flashing a ocboot.img from an overclock guide and my xoom got stuck at the dual core screen, I have recovered from this by flashing a euro boot
I'm not sure where the guys are at these days cause IV been away a while but Tiamat has been having problems maintaining 3G connections.
As for mods, there is little that will work for us at the moment because we are stuck 3.0. Once we get 3.1 we'll start to see more.

You can install Tiamat to do it but its been a bit sketchy with 3G. I have tried to get a stock kernel compiled so I can start modifying it for those of us outside the US but I don't have the kernel skills and never got it to boot.

ah right ok, does 3g not work at all then? Could you point me in the right direction on how to install tiamat if its not too much trouble please.
Does it have to be done with an sd card & does that recovery thing have to be flashed?
Sorry , searched for so long on this and no one seems to reply.
Thanks much appreciated

It works, but usually drops and wont reconnect until after a reboot. If you look in the dev section the old tiamat kernel thread will explain. I'm on phone so can't get thread links etc.

The thread for installing tiamat is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013 and yes, install is through cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 will show you how to install cwm.
fwiw, I've got a 3g euro xoom running the 3.1 us build with the euro telephony files pushed and tiamat 1.44 and I've no issues with 3g, other than the signal strength is incorrectly reported. Hth
Thanks for reply mate, I have since installed tiamat 1.4.1 on my xoom version 3.0.1. so far running ok and oc to 1.5ghz. Is there any clear advantage updating to 3.1 and using tiamac 1.4.4
thank for reply
What are you guys using to see clock speed, think I've managed to get mine updated, ran thru the euro 3.1 thread yesterday and all was well, today flashed the Tron#4 kernel.
I cant check my 3g works as I dont have the apn for giffgaff atm although I am searching as I type this and my SDcard doesnt work (have an external folder but its empty and I cant write to it.)

Host mode is quite useful and it's definitely a lot more stable since updating, in fact I can't remember when it last crashed, but mostly I did it because I could
Hi all.
Just wondering if anybody can tell me what files would be needed for the 501 to get the 3g working.
The custom roms are a load better then the std rom. Would be willing to try and get a custom a501 rom a try just not sure what parts would be needed. Am currently doing some reading to try and get it myself but any help from any dev would be great.
Have not had a lot to do with roms but i have done my own kernels before for my DHD.

Great, finally someone starts moving on
I wonder if there's something else other the 3G kernel module...

would be awesome if someone could fix this!
i would definately do a little donation
I will leave this one in development for sometimes, since it is something releated to dev but if it will not any interest i'll move it to Q&A.

I have 501 and no ROM whith 3G
Thank
dukker :
Yes so 3G no working
thanks, i wil test an 500 rom on my 501
@ dukker,
You can use Taboonay rom or Virtuous_Galaxy for A501, but no 3G.
I hope soon there will be custom roms for A501.
Thanks
I will be hopefully helping someone start on a kernal update for a501's in about a weeks time... apparently this will work for 3g simcards but OC/UV features wont be available.. better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick tho

Hey guys
Does anyone have news about Roms and built in 3G for A501 ?
Taboonay rom works with internal 3g.
Some problems (tab restart) when you switch on 3g if you are in flight mode.
If you use it always on no prob.
I hear at now is a problem of A501 3.2 version from Acer.
Hallo,
where can I download the original Acer HC 3.0.1 or better the new HC 3.2 for the A501 3G (German).
I need it to reinstall the original Firmware because the Mods are without Support for the build in 3G Modem an I have no backup of my original ROM ...
Thanks

3.0.1 used to be available in acer support downloads, but today isn't there. I think that they're sort of uploading the new version, so I'm afraid you have to wait some days. However here on XDA forum someone posted A501 rom image, so you might try to search for it.

Hey guys,
I want to buy one of these Acer Iconia A500 tablets 32GB version, but it is WiFi only and since I live in Iran and it is not that common here, I want to know if I can use an external 3g to use GPRS/EDGE on this tablet.
Thanks in advance!
It seems to be possible with taboonay custom rom

Never tried though.

Hey folks,
I am using this [ROM][ICS4.0.3] Taboonay 3.0.1 (28/02/2012)
on my Iconia a501.
Works really great. Fast and smooth... great job.
I know this Rom is based on the a500 Rom.
So my 3g is not working (or should it?)... anyway, is there a way to get it working?
I already installed the test_a501.zip
Thanks for all answers.
Got exactly the same problem. Installed A501 Patch but doesn't seem to have any effect. Is there anything else to do in order to make it work ?

Need update plz
There are 3 things you can do to try and resolve this problem.
A) make Acer release the official update
2) hack into Acers systems and find a leak for a501
C) learn how to code and fix it

The current ICS roms only support the a500 at this time. This is most likely kernel related and rom related.
The "fix" zips, were only for testing purposes. If people would read the thread, they would've seen the fix's didn't work. Now you have a somewhat modified kernel on your tab which may or may not give you issues.
Until Acer releases or "leaks" an ICS a501 rom, we are stuck with 3.2.1.
Ok,
First of all, thanks bfranklin for your smashing proposal...
I thought the 3g modem in the asus tab and the modem of Iconia tab are identic and it is possible to use that driver for the a501 for example.
try to take the scripts and drivers form loak 3.0.1 and put in the same folders on your ROM
