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.

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.

Also when i typed in the subject and no suggested threads showed up I still thought it was new news.

"News behind every news"
First of all thanx to everyone for discussing here...... I have just posted about Galaxy 10.1 to get CM9 ICS very soon with a link to it. However some of our friends here are unhappy. I appreciate their feelings........Better work together in future...........
Thanks & Regards
I'm not usually one to flame so I will apologize, but people on these forums are very quick to pick up on spam and it just gets old after a wile. Everthing in your posts point to promoting your website. First of all, the site you reference(as if you are not a part of them) closely resembles your user name here on XDA, not to mention the link in you signature, O and your post count alone points to the fact that you are only here to do what we are insinuating. My post count may be low, but that's only because I actually read damn near all the information I need and don't need to ask dumb questions, unless I'm really stuck or over my head.
It just gets anoying to check these threads every day to find new news about ICS, to only find a new post with week old news. This also points to the fact you have not been reading around this fourm, or else you would know people would flame you for posting the same old stuff.
So I hope you got all the web hits you needed to do what ever it is you needed to do, but could we please keep the ICS talk not relating to development on the more replied/informative threads.

Atm, the build seems only for the 7510, which is the WIFI Version. But don't worry, I suppose there will be a 3G version in the end
I don't understand why they don't just do it for the 7500, correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't the Wifi Only people just run the 3G firmware without any consequences? It would be just like using a phone without your sim card in it wouldn't it?

Atleast on Honeycomb they couldnt, theres was a wiicked battery drain when it kept looking for network or something like it. Also a lots of error with diffrent sync.
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...

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?

Depends on how you're rooted. You still get it if you're rooted and are on a stock ROM, it just won't install if you have CWM installed.
If you don't have CWM installed, you'll get ICS and no root and a new locked bootloader. Of course this assumes you're not running a custom (non-stock) ROM. If your not running a stock ROM then you'll never see it.
Anyway, take the OTA you'll loose root and will need to find an ICS exploit to root it.

Yes im runnning a custom ROM, where i can get normal acer ROM. I have checked acer website they only got 3.1 ROM on there website.

Now it all makes sense
Many people by now have seen the ICS Leak posted by vache i have already tested out it runs smooth everythin works except some apps that are not ICS supported but everythin else is great. Today i checked out the acer site and saw a press realease sayin that the Iconia Tab A series was confirmed to get the ICS update as well as the A500 but we will have to wait until the month of April for the update to roll out. It will include a customized unlock ring and better UI. I was so excited to hear this and i cant wait for the month of April to pass by.
Here's the link to the press realease: us.acer.com/ac/en/US/press/2012/33015

I agree as this would be the first confirmed by Acer release. However, if you root your device before the OTA, I'm sure the devs will just base a ROM off of the complete version. But IIRC rooting ICS with our current methods like Gingerbreak and the like don't work....
