Hello everyone,
I have talked with Mad Catz Support the last days (Octavian Negrea, Technical/Customer Support Rep) and he told me that a new official firmware is in the works but as usual they don't have a release date yet. I asked them about the post that was written here in XDA that the company stopped the development and sent them the link to see the post, and they said that it's not true and a firmware is being developed.
That's all, maybe its nothing but just sharing the news.
Thanks for sharing information with us. Maybe they have plans for relaunching the MOJO like Razer with integrating the Ouya experience into their Forge TV. We will see.
Yep, maybe we will see, but its hopeful that they have it in their plans. Np mate
Thanks budd, hopefully they will release it soon
i am waiting for it...

'fraid that's a done deal. No updates. No MOJO, no mo'. But I've had a good bit of fun with mine and it clearly has lots of life left to it.

What you really mean is that it's the best option for YOU. It seems so for myself also. I recommend that anyone who is interested in custom ROMs try as wide a range of them as practical before settling on what they like best. There are only four options for the MOJO; I would think that those who want to mainly stream movies might like Android TV; those wanting a desktop PC replacement should try RemixOS; OUYA gamers should probably stay stock; and we who like to customize our machines and tweak stuff will probably be happiest with CM12.1. But if you have TWRP installed, you can switch between them in a matter of minutes, once you have each one set up and have taken a Nandroid backup of each.

I'm waiting for ICS update from acer. Could somebody tell me the time when it starts updating to ICS? If there's an unofficial way to make it happen, please inform me about it. Thank you.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Probably 6 months. It will be on the newly released tablets first. Then, sometime later, it will be officially pushed to current owners.
But then again, nobody really knows except the manufacturers.
Experimental Roms, will be out before then. But NOBODY is going to personally contact you. You'll have to check the dev threads on your own
As of right now Acer has not made any announcements regarding ICS to the A500 tablets. But like it was previously said, doesn't mean we wont hear about it in a few months.
AHHHH its all over the net.. acer has said mid January.But that does mean for sure we will get it then.. they always seem to be a bit behind..AS far as the dev of rom in this forum..
I hope i am wrong but seems they are stuck with driver issue for GPS CAMERA AND CAMCORDER.. AS well as a few other things.. I think these are proprietary to the acer tablet. this could make us have to wait for acer to release a rom or drivers specific for this tablet .
so as said about . NOBODY REALLY HAS ANY IDEA. Blazing and his team are working very hard i would say send him some pay pal help..As we all have done.. .
READ THE forum before asking a question so common as this one. its been answered a Billion times in the last few months..
dont take this personal But SEARCH FUNCTION HAS BEEN CREATED TO AVOID THREADS AS THIS ONE..
GOOD LUCK..
I found a ROM called Thor v14. After flashing the ROM, It looks great on my a500.But I have no idea that the ROM is based on real ICS. Somebody told me it was based on android 3.2.

The latest rumors now go that the A500 and PB's G100 will expect the ICS update coming April. It may well be that Acer kept its promise they made in January when they pushed the launchdate to April.
*delete*
sorry wrong thread :O
Was it not normally not fated that our A500’s where going to be the first devices with an update to ics? I see that the asus eee-pad now also had an update on a date that surprises everyone! Why can acer not do it so quick?
And could somebody say now the exact date of the update on our device please and not the fake polish forum threads with fake dates ?
Greets
acer never said it would be the first to get ICS, they said the update would be in January and the media jumped on it being one of the first. If you think it is easy for updates to roll out then by all means apply for a job with acer, but personally I'd rather have it tried and tested with good quality assurance than the usual buggy crap put out by communities such as this.
I'm Sorry Alienwithin, did you not read the name of this site - XDA-DEVELOPERS...
If you think the roms that the devs are kind enough to share are buggy and crap then please feel free to bugger off...

Acer will deliver ICS to us in 21 days, 13 hours, 23 minutes, and 12 seconds
I will get here when it does. Worring about it it's not gonna make it faster. The last thing I heard is that will be either this month or the next, so just sit and wait like the rest of us.

Kind enough to share or not, most custom roms ARE buggy and garbage. I'm very picky about my custom roms, and the iconia community is lucky that most of the roms are from the same couple people who know what they are doing and update with bug fixes when one is found. The g2 community? Not so lucky, lots of trash roms available there.
Let me put it this way, if i make a dinner that commonly causes people to puke and serve it at a homeless shelter should they just be glad i brought food or should they tell me it was disgusting and made them vomit? Same with roms, if it sucks, it sucks.

I set a timer on the numbers you gave us, and if I hadn't got the ICS update from Acer when that timer expired, I'll sue you in small claim court on Mars.
Just contacted acer live support, someone called Uma Mahesh responded that it will be available in february. Also he or she said that it will pop when it is available. I couldnt take a screen shot, so no evidence. But if u are curious u can ask too, they are quick for answering.
hopefully in feb. asus and archos are already scheduled for a feb. ics release.

Then go out and make your own.... Just remember what you said, and make sure you leave time for your family, university(if you go), your job and other commitments...
This is a developement forum... The devs are doing this at the expense of their time and effort. Some are VERY good at what they do, others are just experimenting and trying to improve.... They rely on our feed back as much as we rely on them NOT to brick our devices, however, accidents can, and will, happen...
Now, back on track...
Can't wait for the ICS upgrade and to see what will get cooked up... Just from reading this is a big thing from the developers perspective.
Liking the fact I can use the bio-metric lock...
Hoping it comes out soon as it's like christmas eve, having all the presents to open but having to wait til the morning... I know, I'm just a big kid....
My question is does anyone know if you will be able to naturally move apps to the SD with the update. Or is this just another Acer mystery?

Excuse me, but I used to work on cars.
So I went to check on PSXPERIA and I see this message posted by yifanlu
Update: (01/06/2012) I've decided to sell my Xperia play and discontinue all my work on the platform. Like SE, I lost interest in the Play because of the lack of games and a general lack of content. Also, I cannot stand Android anymore, especially SE's skin. I was looking forward for ICS, but after seeing SE put their skin on that too, I won't want to deal with it anymore. As for PSXperia, I have always released the source and documents for everything I release. I also have a few writeups on reverse engineering the psx emulator on my site. I will no longer be providing support for PSXperia and won't be managing the bug reports on github. Again, everything is open source and under GPL, so anyone can pick up where I left off (for example, improving the UI, future emulator compability, etc). I hope the project won't die!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just wanted to say this is going to be a big loss to the community. PsXperia was the only program that allowed us to make backups where the analog controls worked and I loved that feature.
Going to be sad seeing him leave this sub-forum and also abandon his projects because he was a resource of knowledge and a helper to everyone he came upon.
I hope this type of "giving up" behavior is not seen anymore because it will really hurt further development for the Xperia Play.
Well hope you do well my friend yifanlu. I hope you have fun with whatever you do next. Atleast one person has appreciated your work and that was me.
I have to disagree about ICS tho. I never was excited about it. Just more useless features I don't want or need
So from myself and whoever else wants to join.
Goodbye and good luck.
If you people have Kindle readers, you'll find him there as well, as he jail broke some of them. Show him your support!
Thanks for everything, Yifan Lu!

Sadly I do not have one.
All i have right now is 2 droid X's and 1 Xperia play locked bootloader
Wow, this really sucks! I do see this becoming a trend, hell last night, while researching some stuff, i was thinking to myself, how tired i was of the lack of content, and i also noticed that even here on XDA, developement for the play has pretty much come to a crawl. I am on here daily, and its been awhile since something BIG and NEW has been published for the Play. I was thinking of paying to unlock BL, but then decided not too, there is nothing, i want, no big accomplishment, that i need, that warrants shelling out hard earned money for a BL Unlock. Pretty sad really, i came from a "Starter" android, not even that great of a phone, but it was SOOOOO easy to flash, root, unlock, and developement was insane! To see this great device, basically sinking, and some good devs, jumping ship, its pretty sad.
EDIT - However on a upside, maybe with the phone being free now we will see an increse in activity, but i kinda doubt it.
Well once a good Rom for locked bootloaders is released with a stock OC ability, I think things will become a lot more interesting.

Exactly, Only a small portion of Xperia Play users have the unlockable bootloader version.
Lack of games? Lack of content? The content's growing so large that I'm usually too overwhelmed to deal with updating my list as frequently as I'd like.
Oh wait... it's just another stealth-anti SEXP Hogwarts thread... moving along.
EDIT: I do appreciate all the guy's done for breaking into PSPocket to make it into what the community wanted it to be, but honestly, it's been the exact opposite case for me - Xperia PLAY's got so much good software on it's own, and has brought so many games from crap touch-screen controls to something that's enjoyable that I haven't really cared to mess around with crap I already beat from 2 generations ago.

I feel like I'm walking into my own eulogy , but I guess I should say that the main reason I left IS because someone offered quite a generous amount of money for my Xperia play, and my other excuses including the lack of content and android sucking aren't enough to have made me part with the phone. So, I don't want to give the impression that I left because I hate Xperia play. Just that I'm a poor student and need money, and I reasoned that I would have enough extra to buy a ps vita, which I believe is exactly what I wanted in the play (well, after someone hacks it, which shouldn't be long). It has useable analog sticks (I could never get used to the touchpads), a big screen, Sony first party support, PSP games. (and I never used the play as a phone anyways)
Again, I really hope that someone will take over psxperia, and that the project won't die. And I'll still lurk here from time to time.
All the best yifanlu, maybe see you hacking the ps vita yourself

AFAIK the biggest problem with ICS on A500 is the drivers, I do not know if you could e.g. take Transformer drivers and apply them. In theory it should work as the H/W is mostly the same.
As for pledges.. I do not have money. I can pledge a boobshot, though? NB. I do not promise it'll be my boobs in it, though...
You mean ICS for a500 is out? Where did you get that information from?
... Or you pledge for a a200 port?

People just don't seem to realise, a company like Acer just can't work like a couple of "hacker" devs working for their own ends. They have to go through a lot of official steps to release a ROM, not the least of which is waiting for Google to approve it once they've built it. People also seem to forget that the Tegra 2 drivers for ICS were only released a week ago...

And good for you, too! I agree 100% with this sentiment, though I do admit to having flashed it a few times to check on progress.

Mr. Floaty! Shame on you, no candy for you today!

The devs most likely also have to go through quite a few extra hoops all the time due to company bureaucracy as usually everything, every single step, must be possible to be accountable to someone or something. I obviously do not know how things are at Acer, but if I know anything about these things the devs most likely aren't even allowed to compile stuff locally and are forced to always use the company's own compile-server.
I'm a professional developer by trade, though for Windows apps, not OS's. However, it does give me more than a little insight in to the requirements of a profesisonal development environment. April for an official ICS is optimistic.

Lol do you read this forum? Every contact with Acer seems to get a "yes", just not a "when" for ICS.
I know is not allowed by ZTE but I'd appreciate if someone with the beta pm me some pics of the update need to see for my self what's in it lol
The official release is dropping by the end of the month. Can't you wait?

I can wait of course but that doesn't mean I can't ask to see it. If someone is feeling like showing it good. If not then not other option but to wait. ✌

Yeah I saw those but didn't know how legit it was. And it was almost stock Android like many people asked for. But yeah I guess we'll see when released

yes and im also hopeful that they will keep the dark mode for our AMOLED screens or even add a dark theme in zte themes improve camera a little more and also daydream
Those in the beta program had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with ZTE. So close your eyes and imagine Nougat. That's what it looks like.
Can a moderator please close this thread? According to the NDA that somehow got posted on here, people that are a part of the beta program are not even allowed to tell people they are a part of the beta program. Fishing like this just seems to get people wound up over nothing.

try to imagine it like oxygenOS or like the custom ROMs thatd be sooo cool
Yes is weird they had to make a NDA in that case a stock android appearance would not hurt anyone

why would they close the thread? there is nothing illegal in here so i'd ask you to take your hate somewhere else shu shu
nobodys talking about classified stuff about nougat here we're just speculating we're going off topic now
If I was ZTE I would've done a completely public beta or leaked it myself. Hype is free marketing and for a no-carrier phone it's the only way to get people to buy.
Don't worry my good sir, the release is closer than you think.

Hurrah for the imagination then at least I know I am not the only one on the hype train hopefully ZTE won't disappoint us.
