Hey, This will be my first time make post... - Acer Iconia A500

A500, will work with 6.0? We already had 5.0 and it's still work... Some of bugs but don't worry about them anyway... I knew that http://forum.tegraowners.com been having that ROM 5.0 but it's almost been year they didn't update yet when they're already released 5.0 for our Acer A500 and A501 but never been get updates like 4.0 did until 4.4.4 then new released 5.0 and stopped update... We do not understand why... But we're hopeful you're going release updates for fixes some bugs for 5.0 please? If you're development who still work on that, then please let us know ASAP... Because we do not want A500 and A501 become no long to be able same what we have already (6.0) and (6.0.1)...
Thank you for your time, We won't let A500 and A501 down, because they're helping us lots, lot fun too!

So what am I missing?

Reading through these forums has been a real education; much thanks to everyone for posting and sharing!
I was given a reconditioned A500 by a friend (obviously a very good friend!), stock Acer_A500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1 with Android v3.0.1. Rooted with Gingerbreak, everything running fine. Really love the tablet.
Anyway, been looking over all of the choices for upgraded ROMS so graciously provided by members of the community, and hit a little analysis-paralysis. What are the major advantages (other than the "latest-and-greatest" factor) to upgrading to 3.1, 3.2, or 3.2.1? Is there any "must-have" advantage to the upgrade? And will my GEN1 have issues with some of the ROMs developed from GEN2 packages?
Thanks for being patient with an old dog trying desperately to learn some new tricks...
The later the version of Honeycomb generally the more stable and quicker it runs. You probably notice with 3.0 and 3.0.1 there are a lot of force closes on apps. There are other benefits to newer versions, such as ability to plug in USB peripherals etc, but I don't know all of them off the top of my head.
One problem that many people learned (myself included) was that when we got the upgrade to 3.2, those who had root lost it and nobody could figure out how to root it because Acer changed their boot loader. Since then people have found ways around it. Custom ROMs that the devs had created here usually make the tablet run better (of course there are risks to doing this and the occasional bug!). Some people run custom ROMS to overclock, some load them to remove Acer Bloatware and some just have the urge to try new and great things.
In terms of having issues with GEN1 and GEN2 packages, when you are installing custom ROMS made by the DEVs on XDA you won't have to worry. I think the GEN1 and GEN2 are just for ACER to distinguish things like the country that the device is from, or to determine when they should be receiving OTA updates.

Early HC versions have issues with Netflex, video, voice, GPS, etc. Alot of the drivers have been patched since 3.0.1.

If you want a mostly stock rom with just Root and busybox I suggest this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429199
It is very fast and very smooth. haven't run into any problems or force closes yet.
I found that the full screen feature of 3.2 and 3.2.1 was a great reason to upgrade. My iconia came with 3.1 on it and i was content with that rooted until i learned that my apps that didnt fill the screen (guitar hero 5) and some that just didnt run (dance dance revolution s) worked great in full screen on 3.2+.
Greatly appreciate all of the responses. It's pretty clear I need to read the threads here and learn how to upgrade the Android in this tablet. (I especially appreciate starkiller86's pointer to the 3.2.1 sorta-stock image...that looks like the most sensible direction for me to go.)
Thanks again!

[Q] Stuck with HC 3.2 despite ICS avalible

Hello
I was using Revolver ICS beta. Wanted get back to the stock rom since it is avalible already. Installed Strock 3.2 first - my build is now WW_eepad-8.6.5.13-20110925

Just wait. It will show up eventually. In the mean time, don't worry about. Many users are reporting problems with ICS, while many others report it works fine. Maybe by the time you see the update, more fixes will be in place in the firmware.
The problem is only a small % provide details as to their TF-101 version and how they installed, so most of the threads commenting on non-functionality are more rants than threads that can help draw an assessment as to why some ICS updates work and some do not.
The ICS update has thus far worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23625633&postcount=124 on my B70 TF101 with the IML74K.us_epad-9.2.1.17-20120312 update (pushed as a firmware update , where my TF-101 was purchased in the USA, but it is being used in Germany).
Download the official ICS from the asus website and put it on your sdcard then reboot you sould get a notification that it has been downloaded tap that and hit install and it should work
Downloaded ICS from asus website, put it on MICRO SD, restarted - no prompt. So I unpackerd the rar from the website and repeat - no prompt aswell
Most likely bc you have a custom recovery since you flashed Revolver. Go the Epic Noob Guide by Luna_666 and there is a link to the Unlockr where your can get the stock recovery.
Edit::I found it and linked them both for you.
Woodrube you were right - thanks

When it will be available ?
Hi all
I have the standard u8800 X5 and have managed to recover it after two weeks after bricking it quite properly. The question I have is that I am unable to get the official GB update to install correctly over the stock Froyo Rom.
I had the phone running on the official GB for a number of years unmodified without problems until I rooted the phone for the first time.
In an attempt to fix it I managed to remove the OS completely (I know I know). I have finally managed to recover the phone by flashing the stock 2.2.2 B138 rom. Next I attempted to upgrade to to the official 2.3.5 B526 I downloaded from the huawei site. Every time after it installed it boot looped. I would do a factory reset and the phone would work. At next restart it would have multiple error messages about processes unable to start and would reboot into a loop.
Eventually I flashed oxygen 2.3.7 over the froyo, which is stable.
I have root access and CWM 5.0.2.6 installed.
Please help as I would like to install a newer Rom like Aurora ICS or CM10, what do I need to do to get it right?
Thanks in advance.

Upgrading from rooted a500 android 4.0.1 to 4.4 or higher if possible

Hi there helpful bunch out there its me with maybe and somehow a boring question for most of you but for me much guidance is needed. Here is what I have and then what I would like to accomplish.
I bought originally a packerd bell liberty tab g100 with stock android 3.something installed. As soon as Acer came with the ICS upgrade for the iconia a500, which is the same tab as you all ofc know, I installed that update with a very simple guide. Now year(s) later, and yes this brick isn't the best around but can't afford anything else so first would like a fresh install and second a upgrade while at it.
Now, I looked much on XDA and found a lot of text that made my head hurt and which I bravely tried to follow that guide but somehow it didn't work.
So now I have android 4.0.1 rooted and I would like to go to android 5 if that's even possible ofc.
Hope you smart people can help me to overcome this hurdle. Tnx

install rom on Acer iconia A500

Hi. i am looking to upgrade my tablet to newer version of Android. It has 4.0 now. OTA upgrades there are none available. Is there a guide to follow on how to install a newer ROM in the tablet, please?
This is a really old device and the Dec community has for the most part moved on. You will most likely find no updates in the future.
