i dont recall seeing a guide to be honest.
Any questions then im sure that XDA can help

There's no start-up guide, as with all stock Honeycomb tablets.

Mine didn't came with one. But with the manual available on Asus page and a guide for honeycomb that I found on google I'm on my way.

Face Unlock - ICS Offical ?

I don't see it in setting

When i looked through the system dump the faceunlock.apk was there so i would assume you can access it. should be in settings under security and i believe you have to have a pin set up before you can use face unlock

You would assume wrong. I refer you to the lmgtfy link; pretty much the first post has confirmation that even though the apk is there, it won't do anything, and nor has copying it over from another device worked. Asus has disabled it for whatever reason.

Will there be a work around once the devs get hold of the US or WW versions ??

Given that they apparently haven't come up with a workaround for the Prime yet, I rather doubt it...

That seems more likely, but until somebody tries it, we don't know if Asus disabled it for a good reason.

Maybe it's relevant to the issue, but I have a Nexus S on stock ICS, and the Face Unlock feature isn't available as well.
Maybe it's only available to the Galaxy Nexus as of right now.

I have it on my Galaxy Nexus and it is kind of fun to show off but not that great unless you are always sitting in a well lit area. Not worried about it at all.

Acer Ring....

I am trying to see about getting the acer ring to work on the transformer....bought an a200 for the gf and i am slightly jealous...any help would be appreciated...downloaded a few roms....i can't recognize the files...

Wrong forum -- most of us probably don't even have access to the Transformer, let alone any in-depth knowledge about it.

+1^ Dude, go to the transformer forum. Or ask ATGadmin. He;s rocking a TF Prime.
If you are not on ICS, you ain't gonna get it. Plain and simple.
If you are on ICS, well, PM me.

I am talking about the acer ring apk that acts like an app drawer when you tap the circle....I know there's an apk involved and tie in with the launcher, but I can't find a dump with the same apk and haven't had time with the gf to pull her backup yet....What I am looking for is from an acer product....I have a transformer, I have knowledge of what I want to do ,just can't seem to find it....

You can enable it on the ICS Leak by modifying build.prop - ICS Root does this for you if you tell it to do so (forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350) but on other versions I suggest you do it manually. The three lines to add to build.prop are:
acer.shell.mode=ENABLED
acer.shell.launcher.mode=ANDROID
acer.shell.contacts.mode=ENABLED

Hi, I am looking for the Acer Ring also for my A500. The above link is not working. Can you help. Thanks in advance,

And your framework-res and SystemUI needs to support it just installing the APK is not enough.

Just like with the Prime, by unlocking you agree to the fact that you no longer have any warranty and are not eligible anymore for official Asus updates. Sad but true.

Well, I guess from Asus you don't. I assume Asus thinks that people who unlock there tablet are gonna install a custom ROM on it and are thus not in need of official updates..

Mine wont unlock yet!!!
Damn

Well makes sense. But usually ROMs incorporate the updates.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium

Yup indeed, so there is no real use anymore from getting official Asus updates after unlocking it, since custom roms will most likely include the updates taken from the official Asus/Google source code.

Nice! Thanks to everyone who signed the petition. Don't know if it helped or not but it couldn't have hurt.

What I think what would happen when you try to install an official update from Asus on an unlocked tablet, is that you likely get an error message that the device is not suitable to install the update.
But try it and find out..

Wow. I can't wait to use this. Unfortunately, due to hardware problems with my first two tablets, I think I'll wait a couple weeks to make sure this new one isn't defective. That should give devs some time to get some ROMs and a recovery going on this thing.

Well I know to get them you would have to go back to stock and then update.

Manual installation will be possible. Unlocked bootloader simply means that unsigned code can be applied to the device's otherwise locked sectors.

That is, the auto-update functionality will normally be disabled by the Custom-ROM designers in case of changes that could brick your device.
Think of it like a car with a locked engine room, and the "Audi"-factory has the key:
By unlocking the engine room, you can start replacing anything you'd like. If you then apply major changes, there are no guarantee that OEM-parts will function directly in your customized engine. You can however replace everything back to stock, and will then again be able to apply OEM-parts to update your engine.

C4okct users rejoice!

Well, seems like i/we complained to Asus enough, i'm downloading the OTA now.
Check yours!

Same here
Was on WW.26 and OTA to WW.29 came up this morning.
Device Tracker now recognizes my SN as valid, so I think Unlocker should work now too.
I downgraded to DE.17 again (using Wolfs method) to get root but now there's no OTA to WW.26 coming up ( Maybee they save the last firmware state of the device beside our SN too.
Will try to manually update to WW.26 again and see if OTA to WW.29 comes up again.
If not, I think I'll unlock it too

Im confused....
Hey, are you all saying that you can unlock the tablet and it wont void the warranty?

No, unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty, but rooting won't because you can easily unroot.

wait, so what is there to rejoice about then? I dont get what the OP is talking about in this thread

Ever since the tablet was released, some people haven't been able to get OTA updates on stock, locked tablets, and entering the serial number in devicetracker.asus.com resulted in a message that the serial number was invalid. A lot of these same people tried to unlock their tablets but got a network error. The problem was that their serial numbers were not listed in Asus' database.
The OP is rejoicing because the previously-undocumented serials have finally been added to Asus' database, so now the people having problems, of which the OP was one, are now able to get OTA updates and to unlock their tablets.
Rejoice!

I have called them about 5 times now. I explain I'm not getting OTA's at all because I don't want them to use the unlock tool as an excuse not to help me. They sometimes go as far as to tell me I'm up to date because I'm on ICS. I tell them my firmware version and they say "Oh that doesn't matter." I don't even know what to do now...

take as an excuse of inexistent problems with apps, that they close suddendly, that the system is not stable, and that you don't want to factory reset, then tell them that a friend of yours that had similar problem solved when he got the OTA update.

maybe this can help...

That's what I've been doing, I told them I had all the same problems as the c4 people and mine wasn't fixed because it's c3. They keep telling me to manually update. I mentioned wanting to unlock my bootloader once and I said I knew it wouldn't work if I couldn't get OTAs. He actually seemed to understand and scheduled me for a callback but the guy that called back was worthless
