Not going to make this too formal. Just putting a teaser out there for the a500 users who want a taste of AOKP. Things will and are broken, namely camera and audio. This is how far I've gotten in 7 days and I had zero source to work with in the beginning. Hope you guys find it pretty good so far!
Full wipe and flash ROM.

Very, very interesting proposal. Thanks greatly for the tremendous effort. As for the broken items and bugs, how is that any different than any ASOP ROM?
Well, hey, I'll download it. You people know me, I'll flash anything
OP, you want me to PM you with feedback?
But if it be bricken me tab matey, I'll be comin fer ya
DL now. Sure is a small file??? 125mb? Sure this ain't fer a kiddie phone?

Ok, install no problems. Looks like you have the same screen artifacts on boot as the current acer boot.image
1. Reboots after going to sleep. My guess kernel
2. I get 3g (501) signal and setings menus. This means it gets a signal, knows it's there, but can't lock on to an apn. Will work with this. Have to check your xml files.
Reboot when sleep is very annoying. Means I have to keep the screen active.
What kernel (device did you get this from?
Am surprised, none of the 501 users want to get involved. Ok, so be it.
Lots of folks are probably at work still...

It's a safe flash
Just remember what the OP said. No Wifi yet.
And, as I stated, if you let it go to sleep, it will reboot. So I would like, to check GPS, which means, you have to get GPS status.apk, and install it manually
But I like the signal bar comes up. But we 501 people, have to work on this. Everybody is fixed on the 500 leak.

Well, you have a point. But, regardless, it's 21:00 in Moscow mate. And I tell you, not a lot have responded to the thread. Compared to the a500 leaked roms. See where I'm coming from?
No offense FFM
---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Ok people, I am ex military, family tradition.
I would suggest those interested, we take an issue,
1. GPS
2. Wifi
3. 3g
Forget the kernel issues for now, as it's beyond me at the time.
I'll take 3g. More experience in it. If others want to do it also, well, communicate.
Wifi, should be moderate. Mostly apks and xml.s and hopefully not kernel related (I don't think it is)
GPS will be kernel related, but in this case, because I get signal bars, I think the kernel is ok. So, apk's and xml.
This is just a starting point. And of couse, if we take the same point, it doubles the output.

Not asking for your schedule, as we all have them. Just when you post something, you have to be prepared for immediate response. No offense intended
So, that sorted out, and others know you will respond, where do we go from here?

Hey guys, I am working on a ICS espresso device tree and I will keep this brief and I know you have many questions so let me just say this: This will take a lot of hard work. This will take awhile. This will be worth it.
Basically, I wanted to make CM9 and AOKP for the slide but then I found out there was no device tree for ICS. I decided to take on the bigger project. Please don't PM or email me about this, ask your questions in this thread.
I know this was brief and not very descriptive but I'm about to go mobile and I can answer your questions in this thread.
Eventually, once I have a little more work done on this, I will post this in the dev section so people can help. I will update this thread until I have significant progress. If you flame me, I couldn't care less because you would be losing a developer who can unlock the FULL potential of our device (with ICS).
Cheers.
UPDATE!!!; MAY FIRST: I have got ICS to boot! It is horrible but it works and here are some current bugs: Cell connectivity, extreme lag, data, etc.
WiFi surprisingly works lol but I need something from someone, I need a mirror link of daniel's ics build (back when the CM9 dev thread was IcyEspresso...) to see a few thinks and possibly get this goin' so the link is broken in the thread but if anyone has the file... please I need it!
Personally, I think this is fantastic. Good luck, and I hope you get something working sooner rather than later

Heres my problem:
I could not use google play or gmail(I could however use chrome youtube baconreader(reddit) ) So I tried many of the troubleshooting ways to fix it. It all started when I updated to 4.4 then I re-rooted and it was all going smooth. I had freedom and market unlocker going so I could still use the market with freedom. One day I turned on my device and my root was gone and my root apps did not work and google play did not work. So I tried like I said above to troubleshoot it. I ended up to a factory reset thinking it would fix it. Now I am at the setup screen where it goes like this Language>Wifi Network>Login in or create google acount( I log in) and then bam I get the error like I have been having for the past month with google play and this time I cannot even use my device so I call google and they tell me I'm f****d because my warranty is gone. After that they connect me to someone at samsung who I can barely hear who keeps calling me man and telling me they can't hear me so in frustration I hung up and hear I am now.
Solution Idea: If I could find away to restore it without usb debugging using the wugfresh tool it might work I guess. Another thing worth noting is that when I go into bootloader mode and then recovery I get the android guy with: no command. written under him.
Please help I have searched and troubleshooted but I can't find a fix and I have no funds to buy a new device and I need it for school since I have no laptop and this is the next best thing.

You can use fast boot commands to restore. Do you have the factory image downloaded? Extract it and use fastboot to flash then

If you feel I helped please press the thanks button! And enjoy your nexus. Glad you got it working. If you ever run into issues if you decide to flash custom ROMs or something this is always a last resort to get it working. Also if you ever decide to do that and want to get back to stock again mashed sure you don't flash user data image next time because it'll erase all your data on the tablet even pictures and stuff.

Hahaha it turns out I had it turned off when using full screen apps. Is there any way in resizing the chat heads?
And thank you for your help!
With that crappy-a$$ attitude is probably why a lot of people aren't wasting their time jumping in, plus it really does sound like an Facebook messenger issue than a Android issue, thus making this the wrong place in the first place. So here's my advice, might want to check the attitude at the door ? the next time, seeing that people are taking the time to even respond, which is probably more time than you deserves given the tude you're projecting. Just my opinion of course.
