yes, this is stock 3.1 acer rom
Sorry to trouble you more, but would it be too much trouble to use a 3.2 Rom as Base (Virtuous Xoom, Prime, Minimalist 3.2, or other). I realize TouchWiz UX is currently only on 3.1, but 3.2 has those very minor improvements that make it a little better.
Once again sorry and thank you.

While the Samsung and Acer won't let out 3.2 such mod's will be impossible
There is only one basic difference between 3.1 and 3.2 - scaling of old applications

Thanks to:
Crsdr37 - for beta testing
m-deejay - for pointing out my ramdisk issue.
You do all this and you take the risk. But remember if you got the CWM working, you should be safe and you can run itsmagic from CWM if you are in doubt. I take no responsibilites if you damage or brick your device. But if you do think its bricked, and you get checksum errors both at boot and recovery, sc2k might be able to help if you saved your UID number.
Apps that can be Freezed with TitaniumBackup without problems (of course if you don't use it)

WMV 1080p works with hardware decoding on 3.1 (i tested the microsoft 1080p samples) and no stuttering or so..
but although some say 1080p hdmi is ok, its actually still just downscaled to 720p output and why our tablet can play it quite nicely.

i decided to add a patch, so you can use Acer stock colors, if you wish.
i will check this one as soon as it is available. tks dexter, will also buy you a beer afterward.
just a remark, and thats the reason why i did not try any of the other rom's, anything besides the kernel is not GPL. so anything coming from ASUS and added to ACER could cause ASUS to intervein and call you a pirate. thus I would ruther stay with stock, and modify stock with my own ideas or at least with things not coming from asus or any other tab maker.
Anyhow tks for your good work.

I don't think thats entirely accurate for Android!..
Asus built their changes on top of Android which is GPL, and changes made to that needs to be openly available for modification..
when we talk application development yes, but Android 3.x OS changes and graphics modifications, i think we can what we like to, as the platform is distributed under GPL.
Only parts i guess will be copyrighted/licensed are GoogleApps, which again Acer do have rights to use, so we can place them on our tablets..
I've made a custom rom, according to my personal preferences.
I don't remember all the changes, but some are:
- Based on KPN 2.3.3 official rom for Spain.
- Deodexed.
- Rooted.
- Changed boot animation.
- CRT animation enabled.
- SIP calling enabled.
- Removed some Samsung bloatware.
- Added Cyanogenmod's DSPManager (equalizer).
- Added some Google's apps, including Car Home and Music, among others.
- Added some other apps (according to my preferences).
- Custom kernel with ext4 support.
- Replaced Samsung's TW-Launcher with Zeam.
- Removed Samsung's keyboard.
- Added Gingerbread stock keyboard.
- Removed Swype, as this lets you install the latest beta .(http://beta.swype.com).
- Replaced the Clock and alarm app with Cyanogenmod's one (more options for alarms).
- More changes that I don't remember.
Flash from ClockworkMod. You need to have previously installed any Gingerbread rom.
No wipe needed. Always make a nandroid backup before flashing roms.
Sorry for the screenshots in spanish, I'll add english versions later.
Link: Uploading new version.
Wow another, brand new custom firmware Greate work man, thanks. But can you upload some screen shots pls? For that changes especially?
Thanks, i try it now!
Hm.. I dont see any big reason to switch to this ROM, maybe for the KPN and the DSPManager.
But great work, always good to have more choices!
Screenshot please...thanks
can i have a dsp manager apk for stock rom...
worth a try. I am waiting for CodeRom v2-2 but will flash this one while waiting.
hope this does not drain battery a lot like some others.

Thanks for post it.
Seems to work great on my A500. Wiped cache only, no factory reset. Updated from 3.1 US stock (rooted) Acer_A500_4.010.10_COM_GEN2.
Going to try this when I get home. Did not want to lose root. Hoping Netflix fix works.
Anxious to install, but must support Netflix....can anyone verify? Thanks!
Here are some updates files from the Acer Iconia Tab A200 (Honeycomb 3.2.1), that seems to be a "low-cost" A500.
All files can be found here : http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&cat=38
It's including a new Acer Ring app and lockscreen shortcuts.
It also have a new Acer Iconia Tab bootanimation.

What it does not have :
-Rear Camera
-Dolby Mobile (or it's not active atm)
-Maybe other things i didn't see.
ROM based on A200 system by fguy (only for test purpose)
New lockscreen looks very nice!
Yep, there's also a shortcut to take screenshot, really usefull, and to open the app drawer. That's a nice idea from Acer.
Yay something new!
But alas, Android 4 is on the horizon. And we all know how Acer loves to update!

With the screenshot, isn't that not included in Android (unless rooted?) or implemented to use without root - I think ICS is the first one with native screenshot included?

ASUS and some other HC ROMs have had screen-shot built-in for awhile right from the factory (hold app history button down etc.) I don't think you had to be rooted, but I could be mistaken since these were custom ROMs I was using and was always rooted.

Ah okay, my bad, didn't think they had it.
acer did good job!
A200 is 3.2.1,and A500 is only 3.2?
Is this ROM in development?
How is it functioning so far?
It does not have back camera as in the a200 does not have one / and / or this ROM does not have it?
Does anyone have a list of bugs in this ROM?
I would love to test when I get home, want to know if it's worth flashing!
PS Love the lockscreen!
Damn, I get to the Acer logo, and nothing. Just sits there.
Without having checked, I'd guess that most "H/W not working" problems are simply missing drivers (i. e. we'll have to wait for Acer to fix them or reverse-engineer existing ones -- which I'm not going to try as it tends to be one huge pain in the ___). Other than that, I guess this ROM is fairly stable with minor glitches in the UI and framework (most leaks are, I haven't tried this one).

The stuff that doesnt work seems to be because the a200 doesnt have it, ie the a200 has no rear facing camera so this rom has no rear facing camera. In a sense its missing, but for what it is the rom functions fully. I'm actually shocked to see this thread, i didnt know this was posted on XDA and found it elsewhere about a week ago and have been using it as my daily not realizing it was a leaked rom (rookie mistake not checking the thread date for the other forum that had it) and I actually like how smooth it is and feel like its just as stable as the stock a500 rom. Then again, I dont extensively push my tablet to the limit, I do my budget/check book, play around online and occasionally hook up a ps3 controller and play some SNES so maybe someone else should comment on the stability of the rom. Only problem I can find is I hear the latest market is 3.4.4 and this rom seems stuck on 1.1.0 and I cant figure out how to get the market all the other roms had(it has the market I had when I pulled this thing out of the box, not the one that came when I updated).
Decided to get back into the custom ROM scene, and here's my latest work. Please note that this is not a 1:1 copy of VillianROM, I am giving full credit to the original ROM's author. I am making my own spin off the ROM.
Anyway, without futher ado, here we go:
IcedComb Custom ROM featuring Android Honeycomb 3.2
Custom ROM for Acer Iconia Tab A500/A501 based on sources of "VillianROM".
You must use ClockworkMod to install this ROM. Do a Nandroid Backup, then a factory-reset wipe, then flash this ROM via recovery. If you install using some other method, I cannot support you as it's unoffical way of doing it.

richardtrip - Primary VillianROM Developer. I'm not kanging (copying) his work, I'm just expanding upon his fundations.
folks at XDA for custom ROMs and all that jazz. If you minus the n00bs, you get a lot of people who are gems.
Acer, for the Iconia Tab. It's such an awesome device.
What to expect?
No bull****. All the bloat has been stripped out of the ROM, so it's almost vanilla HoneyComb.
Tweaked to perfection. It's fast, speedy, and you'll experience the difference.
Everything works. Built on the VillianROM base, it's been tested and it works.
Cross-model. Works flawlessly on A501, should work fine on A500.
Does not suffer Market bugs that other ROMs suffer.
Compatibilty List
Note: tested natively on A501. May not work as intended on a A500, but heck, give it a shot.
3G - Yes
WiFi - Yes
BlueTooth - Yes
Camera (Front/Rear) - Yes/Yes
Sound - Yes
GPS - Yes
MicroSD - Yes

one more: build.prop editing tool/different rom build would be helpful to those who use the a500, 3g on the a500 wastes tremendous battery.
THanks.....
what do you mean by "IcedComb"? is it themed with ICS?
Great seeing some fresh work for the a500. Will eagerly see what people say.

I'll make a patch for the build.prop. It's only a really quick line edit to disable the 3G-radio-init attempts on A500.

What do you mean? The Accessories pack only has SocialJogger and a few other "accessories". The AcerApps only has Acer-supplied apps. I seperated the two from the core ROM because I don't like bloat and some included apps were lame.

Glad you like it. I'm a bit of a minimalist myself, and after weeding out all the bloat with this ROM, it performs a little better than VillianROM, even though I used that mentioned ROM as a base.
After all, we have 1.6Ghz of dual core power, why not use or abuse it?

I mean that in both packages is the same. So what in the first.
In the second no SocialJogger,no Polaris Office, etc ...
I mean an additional parcel on fileserver.
PS: Rom is good.

Ah, now I understand you. My apologies.
Yeah, just confirmed they are a dupe of each other. I have the source on my VPS, I'll reupload it. Sorry about the pickle.
Also, found an issue: USB Storage Mode (as in, using the tablet as a USB drive) doesn't work since I removed Acer Sync. I will make a patch that fixes this issue. However, it will be fixed if you install the Acer Apps addon.

He's probably using HoneyBar. An app that hides the lower notification bar. You can get it from the Market.
that's pretty ****ty, slows down rendering...
Awesome!! Will be testing this ROM ASAP!!!
Glad to see a New ROM in the field!
does this one have HDMI support? Running into alot of ROMs that dont have it, except for Thors ROMs. Kinda useless without one

What roms dont have HDMI support?
Taboonay ROM as well as the original VillianROM this came from. I think any ROM built from Cm7, also. I've had a few older ROMs in the past give me the "720p?" on my tv when I used the micro HDMI. However, I installed this ROM with a Richard kernel which I knew had corrected the VillianROM. It works now and I get a 5300+ on the Antutu bench w/ a 1408 OCing. Smooth ROM. I'll stay with this until an ICS version comes out.
I've already preordered the ASUS Prime (tech whore that I am) and will do a comparison with the Acer when I can.
