Here is a link to the ics update for the motorola xoom.
I have no idea if this is of any use to our developers but just thought it might in some way speed up the development of a fully working a500 ics custom rom.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-tervigon-IML77-from-HTK75D.71a21bfe.zip
there are already roms (or at least a rom) working fully except for the camera. Unless it has acer camera files, i doubt the xoom code will help much.

Am I the only one who would just love to see a community based repo for ICS on the Iconia, all GPL compliant?
I know it's not on Xda but just wanted to thank u guys for mentioning the ICS rom for the a500. It is by far the smoothest/fastest rom I've flashed on my a500. I'm just blown away at how great it runs. I could care less about the few things that need fixed. I'm now loving my Iconia. Thanks again.
Not correct

No, he's got a ICS rom (Android 4.0). I'm running it right now and it's amazing. The best rom I've ever ran on my Iconia.
Yes he does have it I had 40 running for a bit but SPB shell doesn't run along with a handful of other apps I have bought ill wait till app developers get the kinks out..
He's been working on it since October I think so its pretty good Cam and vpn don't work as of now we need Acer to release alot to get everything the way it should be...

And you owe me personally, about well, a lot of beers. And not just any beer mind you, but I like really expensive beer
In fact, if one would calculate 12 beers per day @.5L per beer since the time he got HW Accel working, No green screens, and 85% of all functions working, you owe me about 457 beers, give or take. But I'm not greedy. I'll settle for an even 400 x.5L.
The Pure ICS rom 4.x, runs damn good. Only 3 or 4 things left. Most people are using it as a daily driver.
But now, "Iced" cube, if you don't come through with your wager, on open terms as you set, Well... that would be considered "welching" on a bet.
Welp, there goes my weekly wage...
I did say "a beer", not "a few beers"
'tis all good, i'll drop some money in the tin.
That aside.... Time to flash the ROM, then!

Is there a work around?

Youre flashing a xoom rom? That might be the problem. There is an ics build mostly functional for our device a few pages in to the dev forum (where we are) or you can google thor and try his which afaik is just lacking camera and rotation lock.
Which ICS rom is everyone running?

Hi,
I was just reading the Revolver ROM thread. Then it disappeared.
Where did it go ?
p.s.: I'm sorry if this unnecessary disturbs you. But I really wonder where it is.

Not when you don't give credit. According to Roach he made a error in where he placed some of his files in the wrong directory in the settings.apk and he left them there since it was an alpha. Those exact files were found on fabio's rom...

that really doesn't mean anything to me.
if we ask Fabio , I believe he could say something to defend.
it's not a good behaviour to delete a whole thread just because one person says something about it.
I was using this Revolver ROM and now I'll go whereever he puts his ROM on.
If not Fabio's work, we all had discussins in that thread. How can it be deleted so easily ?
Not sure I was just watching the conversation and this is what conclusion I drew from it.

so what now ?? i was using this ROM and i was waiting for HC 3.2 update but it's removed !! Prime 1.6 is really slow and the HC 3.2 update is still not there !! also i wanted to overclock ....
we'll search for revolver on other forums...
Umm there is definitely a difference in the two Roms. With roaches Rom I was not able to install apks, with fabios Rom I can. I am using it right now. I'd like to thank both for their good work.

Maybe you have a completely different hardware, or your TF hates Prime deep inside, but personally I tried Revolver 1.1.3, spent 30 min with it, considered it being a little buggy and a deal slower and went back straight to Prime 1.6 + Netformer 1.5 overclocked, which is stable, fast and overall great.
You can still search for Revolver elsewhere though, tastes differ...
ahahahaahah,that is ridiculous...
someone got jealous i guess...
there is not a single comparison between the two roms.
the one was slow as hell and had many fc and the other was fast as hell and only 1-2 fc per day for activity launcher.
anyway,i do remember before the revolver rom got dissapeared that revolver was thanking roach on the first page of the rom discription....
such a same...always the same story in xda...
someone got jealous.someone accuses of stealing ideas and work.
anyone who knows where revolver will be please pm me as i think this is even prohibited to discuss in open.

Golly gee there haven't been enough of these threads lately.
Since you didn't have the best ROM on your poll, I had to come in here and type it out.
The Root Tooty Fresh and Fruity ROM of course!
what about the virtuous roms like virtuous galaxy or picasso, but they havent been updated in forever
Thor, but that's not on the list.
I personally liked THOR, but there were a few things left out since its not Acer stock ROM (such as hardware screen rotation lock).
I'm using lightspeed now and I would have to say I like it the most because it removed every bit of bloat the stock Acer had.

Add the first two to the fact that XDA won't let him post his work here because he won't publish his source code (like Google didn't post theirs for 3.2), and you have the master recipe.

Rooted and installed my first rom yesterday. It was thor's. If i hadn't killed my battery in the process of installing/re-installing/re-re-installing (had issues w/ wifi and sd storage), i wouldn't have gotten any actual work done while on night shift. From what I did get to play around with, it was much snappier than stock, and allowed me to tether to my phone's data via bluetooth without any 3rd party apps. So not only did I become an instant fan of thor's, but I also might actually start watching Breaking Bad (streamed the first ep on netflix). lol

THE ANSWER IS.. THERE IS NO BEST... There are only two both incomplete at this time . Not to start this over again here.. but the one here in the DEV Section is legal.. the other who really knows.. HIDDEN SOURCE CODE...
I would just wait if I were you. I'm sure once the official ICS comes out, there will be plenty of custom roms based on it.
I say go with thor's. It'll run smoother than any other dev's on here until ics actually is released. Don't listen to all the naysayers about his work.

I just flashed the tegraowners ice rom last night... I have to say that it's really stable and I'm liking it so far =)
So I just found the AOKP forums, and I have an Acer A500. I see build 28, but I don't see a thread for it. Is it safe to download the A500 version of build 28? I am also on Thor's CWM recovery version 1.7, which is CWM 5.5. Will flashing this do anything to internal or external SD storage, or the CWM installation?
There WAS one, then it was revealed that the AOKP was using Thors kernel without permission, so it was banned.

So will this overwrite my current CWM install, or format any of my SD storage? I want to be able to flash back to my current ROM without losing anything.
Personally, I'd steer clear. Last time I saw a status update on it, it was pretty unstable, would reboot on suspend unless you turned off animations, and generally pretty crap. The only part that worked properly was their donation links.
The leak-based ROM's on here, or Thor's current release, are FAR more stable.
However, AFAIK, it won't touch your recovery partition or wipe SD storage, but I can't guarantee that.
From what I'm seeing, the later builds are much more stable.

Receiving a used Xoom soon and was reading many many forums on Xoom roms and want to see what people are using. I would like ICS of course, not really concerned with overclocking. I run AOKP on my Galaxy Nexus and never have looked back. But not sure the best route for the Xoom.. I know ROMS are personal preference but still want to get an idea to see who's leading the pack and packing most of the latest features and addons.
Sorry if I missed any roms.
Thanks Guys

To be honest, most people use EoS, I think.
However since a couple of weeks there has been a huge battery sucker in it
CM is also one of the most popular roms, but I prefer EOS or the Bugless Beast ROM.
However the latter has come to a standstill due to some personal issues of the developer, still: it runs amazingly smooth without need to over clock!
All the other roms are okay, I guess, but I can't help you with those
Just my two cents ;-)

Thats what I run on my GNex too but didnt see many posts on the Xoom so wasnt sure if it was up to par as the GNex version.
AOKP has been my daily on the Xoom for a month or two now, runs like a dream.
I have been running AOKP on my XOOM for some time now. I really like all the extra features. However, I think that what the Xoom really lacks in development is a Kernel. I have been spoiled with Faux123 on my Galaxy Nexus. But the kernels I have been using on the XOOM have been outdated. Anyone have a kernel recommendation?

AOKP ships with stock kernel right? EOS and Rogue are usually on top of keeping their kernels up to date. EOS kernel is tiamat and there's a thread somewhere around here for it and Rogue.
Edit: Better yet get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Its GooMamager. Browse files and under kernels there's are a ton that claim "Compatibility". I think the ICS kernel is very unified. Goomanager will also notify you when your ROM is updated,and as long as you have an open script recovery, Goo will download the Update and make a backup in Recovery (with rename prior to backup) wipe/wipe cache and install new update then reboot almost like an ota. So easy now. Also notifies when gapps updates. I guess its the new ROM Manager.
Anyways at the bottom of the kernel list is Rogue with what looks like an up to date kernel.

Yes. As far as I know, mz505 can be rooted. But these roms were not tested with it.
You can still root it. Also try to flash the rom of mz604 on it from team EOS since it is wifi only. Might work. Or just enjoy a rooted device.
