you can`t root th JB one, but you can flash a pre-rooted version on JB 4.1.2 , i tried and is very good, you will need only to install SuperSU
use this method to root in JB
Hey Token,
Have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186161
Regarding Apps, use a backup app to save them all such as Helium which works just great for me
Downgrade?
Should i go back to ICS? It runs slower than ever . With jb is faster.. Whats the point of going back. The only thing i want to do ( so i need to root ) is to transfer apps to my storage card.. we are at 2013 there is no way it cannot be done..

Hello there
I have managed to get fix Arabic on GB 4.5.91, through patching and compiling framework.jar and libwebcore.so.
This will work on every rom that is based on AT&T 4.5.91.
Here is how to patch your phone:
Manually
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download GBArabic.zip attached and extract it on your phone.
3)Now using Root Explorer or any other root file mangers.
Copy framework.jar to /system/framework/ and fix the permissions
Copy libwebcore.so, libicuuc-arabic.so and libandroid_runtime.so to /system/lib/, and fix the permissions
Be sure that you set permission for all, or you will stuck in bootloop.
4) Reboot and enjoy.
or
CWM Flashable File
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download CWM-Arabic.zip attached and place it on your phone.
3)Boot into the recovery, and flash the file.
4) Reboot and Enjoy
p.s.
I am quite new here in the forum. So I couldn't post this on the Dev Forum.

Added CWM zip file
Arabic Files for CherryBlur v1.4d Rom ( it's based on ORFR and not working with At&t)
http://www.mediafire.com/?zd93z9leslz6wtc ... tested by me
Thanks Jack,
Does the Browser and Gmail show Arabic correctly in ORFR?
If it worked, I will update my post.
If not, could try and use my libwebcore.so on your phone, and report back to me?
no it's doesn't support the browser
and sorry I changed the rom and can't test the new files
Successfully Installed - CWM Version
Just flashed the CWM file. Working on Alien ROM.
Works perfectly (RTL needs some alignment "observed in Facebook App only"). Donation is on the way! Extra ordinary work and Cheers!

copied the files manually while half asleep, seems that I've messed up ... was stuck in the boot screen, downloaded the automated installation file, applied it and now it works perfectly !
RTL is still not right in gmail messages, but that's super low priority

What you did wrong the first time, is that you haven't set up the permission, but hey you were half sleep I won't blame you .
I just noticed the alignment of Gmail, and droidace says it happen on Facebook.
It seems that these two apps, use different files to show alignment than the browser.
I will take a look at it.
Thanks for reporting, and hope you enjoy it.

How did you update to 4.5.91 ? official update, SBF, OTA, other ? I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
how did you root/deodex ?
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Thanks mdd5
Hello Ramy, and welcome.
Since you are new here, I will encourage to take a look at THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
Now to answer your questions,
ramy_Maia said:
How did you update to 4.5.91 ?
I did update to 4.5.91, by unlocking the bootloader and flashing one of the roms here on dev section, not official.
I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
Everything is safe as long as you follow the guide.
many of the bricks happen here is because people updated to .91 using official then tried sbf to an older version.
When you update using official, you can't flash an older version.
how did you root/deodex ?
As of now, the only way to have root and deodex on .91 is by flashing unofficial ROMs
So you will need to unlock the bootloader and flash one.
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Your question are not dumb, I was just like a couple of weeks ago.
However, it is better to ask questions like this in Atrix 4G Q&A forum, so you get better answers and faster than here. You can also use search

Did the new update of facebook fixed that issue?? It seems that it is fixed now.
mdd5,
I picked up your comment on my blog and I wanted to let you know that I added your Atrix GB libwebcore.so to my blog with a special note to you. If you would mind that for any reason, please let me know and I'll remove the link and recompile the sources myself.
Great work. I'm glad to see people using my blog and the sources to get Android arabized
Options of Arabic Fonts
Not really sure if there is an option to change the Arabic fonts? Any ideas?
Awesome work anyway with or without fonts
Thank you for your effort
In Alien Rom, Does it work for Write & Read or full (with menus)?
same question in Cherry Rom.

Sorry for opening a new thread but the search was failed for that specific rom.
I bought a A500 from a friend of mine with the HC 3.2.1 build Acer_A500_7.014.02_COM_GEN2 and the OTA propose the upgrade to Acer_A500_041.205.01_COM_GEN2.
Now the tablet is not rooted and other but I don't knows what I'll need tomorrow. Do you believe that if I accept the update in the future I'll be in the pickle?
I don't want to cry in the future only bacause today I've accepted too quick.
Is there something I've to pay attention to?
Thanks
Some folks experienced wifi disconnects with the ics OTA....that's about it, lol....a lot of folks got stuck on the acer boot screen after the update, which means using an EUU to downgrade to HC to get booting again.
My advice....get yr cpuid now, if things go bad yr cpuid is the only thing that will save you. You can take the OTA if you have trouble you can get yourself sorted bbut only if you have yr cpuid! !!
I'd also backup your files, photos etc and do a format (factory data reset in Settings) and give yr system a nice clean start.
You can flash skrilax_cz v8 bootloader, this enables you to install custom ics/jb roms and a recovery so you can nandroid
backup.
There are sticky' 's and guides galore, you have a lot of reading to do to get the most of your iconia....
Hope this helps a bit

Thanks for the tip but you forgot the most important advise in my case:
"don't leave the tablet at home with your wife using it!"
This should be mandatory because when you come back home you'll find a new tablet. When the tablet ask to your wife if she desider upgrade the os, don't mind your raccomandation: <Do Not Accept> she think: <why not?> especcially with 40% of battery and wifi not stable and in poor cover!
In other words the upgrade was done!
2 advantages:
1 - fixed the problem doing or not the upgrade
2 - I saw the tablet in use after the upgrade and I didn't spent a lot of time asking myself if it will be briket at the end ... all was fine :good:
Now the new OS is:
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 2.6.39.4+
Image version: Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1
Build number: Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1
Image P/N: FM.S14A0.00Y
It seems to work fine except for the OS language that is mandatory to select English: I'm Italian but this language was present in HC and no more here. The right punishment to my wife! I don't know if it is possible to add the Italian, is it possible?
Following your suggestion I got the CPUid reading the file /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpu_id am I right?
Now following to your suggestion i'll start to surf internet for some good basic guide to squeeze the best from my Iconia.
Saving the contained data is not an issue for the moment. the Iconia was 5 days old and no significative data are there.
My first planned step will be the rooting and I thought to follow ...orum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350
Is it the right choice with my new OS?
In the future probably I'll step up to JB but for doing that I need some good reading. Can you suggest a good starting point for a newbie as I am?
Thank in advance

There are 3 guides in my sig...even tho u have yr cpuid have a read of that guide, lots of updates and general info there.
Civato's unlocked bootloader sticky and any of his custom roms
Blackthund3r has sticky of all stock roms. He also has some good info on his site if you can get to it.
acer hasn't updated this thing for a year so custom roms are the way to go...I'm still using cm10 flex rom does everything i need it to and runs flawlessly. ..but it is a matter of personal taste so just try one and see.
Remember: rooting does not give you the ability to install a custom recovery, you need the v8 for that
Good luck!!

If I well understood there are 2 different methods. The 1st use the tool 7.1.1 that could work or not (explained here xxtp://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350). If it doesn't it's mandatory follow the 2nd one that is more complex (explained here xxtp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823421)
Am I in the right path?
About the ICS root 7.1.1 tool I plan to activate all the option except the last one (Don't Reboot after installation ...) and I plan to remove AcerNidus. Do you agree?
There are 3 guides in my sig...even tho u have yr cpuid have a read of that guide, lots of updates and general info there.

Well after spending a lot of time on this phone I managed to get full root access
Instructions :
Download Kingo (Search good due I can't post any link.)
Install and run kingo.
Now just connect your phone in debugging mode at your pc.(How to find debug more? Look the pictures below!)
Press "ROOT" on the Kingo program and let it until it says "Root was successfully"
After that just see a small tune you can do to your mediatek processor!
You're done,now your have full root access!! Have fun!!
(AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK DOWN YOUR PHONE!MAKE IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK!!)
Sounds good! Someone else has tested? :cyclops:
Am working on the source code of the kernel stand by! And if any moderator can create a section for Xperia E4 would be great for the new user of this phone!
