Hi all,
I am just wondering.
All ICS leaks had the ghost image at boot.
Now the new official ICS OTA is said to be the same build as vache's 031 leak dated March 29 and ROMs based on the 031 leak such as Flexreaper 12,5 are also up to date.
So is the ghosting at boot gone in ICS OTA ?
Thanks.

I installed the leak after getting pissed about how long it took to get ics and how terrible honeycomb was. The leak has been incredible and made my tab sooth as butter... However I am afraid I won't get the official update which hopefully will be patched to include the ring.
How can I flash back to stock 3.2.1? I have I have looked all over and haven't seen a clear cut solution
Thx
if u r on hc bootloader all things bein equal then try a nand restore - worked for me.
if it doesnt or u on ics bootloader then its an EUU/manual apx downgrade procedure.
i've since flashed flexreaper, acer ring works perfect and so i'm sticking with it till the furore dies down and acer have their rom stable
Hi guys,
I've a rooted Liberty Tab with Acer A500 HC 3.2.1 and a full nandroid backup to go back to PB stock ROM.
I would like to update to ICS, but I know that ICS requires a new bootloader, and as far as I understand, it's not possible to revert back to HC bootloader.
Is this right?
The first choice I have is to update my tablet with a modded A500 ICS rom, and I will loose (forever) my PB HC bootloader.
Otherwise I can go back to stock PB rom, accept PB 3.2.1 update and wait for PB ICS OTA (does it exists?)
Any other suggestion?
Is it stable to use ICS with HC bootloader? I didn't understand if it's ok or it's only a workaround but not stable.
Many thanks!
Hi,
you can use, as an example, the Flexreaper Rom with the HC Bootloader without any probs. The Rom has an autodetection for the bootloader and installs the right Kernel accordingly.
I did this from the beginning of the Flexreaper Rom until last R12.5.
Last week I decided to change the Bootloader to the ICS V3 patched. The same way I installed the V3 pathed ICS Bootloader, could be used also to flashe the HC bootloader back. But as mentioned, not really needed.
The Flexreaper Rom is excellent, give it a try.

Version 1.041.00 of the OTA ROM was flat busted on my A500.
I've updated to a v1.054.00 based ROM and have not had any rotation issues since. The ROM is called FlexReaper-Relix_rev5 and is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181 If you do not want a custom ROM then Civato has also placed a stock OTA of 1.054.00 (with Root) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633907
I am thinking that perhaps 1.054 is the fabled fix that Acer is putting on devices sent into them for "repair"?
It would be good to know if someone who has received one back from Acer repair can say what specific ROM version is installed when they got it back. Go to Settings -> About Tablet, then report back the Build number and similar info. That would probably help the devs out a bit.
Also, I have the same v7 bootloader as with 1.041, so all that has changed was a version update to the ROM. I also briefly tried Civato's OTA 1.054 ROM and it was not having any issue. I usually had the issue on 1.041 within a few minutes of booting and running just a couple apps.
Knock on wood, hopefully my tablet will remain sane.
Good luck!
After running a rooted stock ICS on my A500 for a while, I upgraded to JB using pjsports "ROM | WIP | CM10 JellyBean 4.1.2 Unofficial for acer a500 [Build 3]"
In the process, I used the AfterOTA tool to install the ICS V8 unlocked bootloader, as well as an updated kernel I believe.
Aside from a few glitches, the ROM worked okay, but I think I had the memory leak problem everyone talks about... My icons & widgets on the homescreen would disappear, forcing me to reboot. I ultimately flashed back to an ICS rom, but maintained the kernel and bootloader. To my surprise, the problem with the homescreen icons remained, forcing me to reboot at least once a day.
I ended up reflashing the stock ICS unrooted rom with stock kernel and bootloader, then went through the rooting process again.
The tablet has been running smoothly ever since with no memory leak issue.
So I'm wondering... Is the memory leak and homescreen icon problem really a problem with the Jelly Bean ROMs or is there possibly a problem with the bootloader or kernel?
I have recently installed Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2 (pa_n7100-3.99-RC2-20131031.zip) and GAaaps (pa_gapps-full-4.3-20131102-signed.zip) on my phone and now i am getting 3 OTA updates (Please refer to the screenshot attached). I want to use 4.3 for now, please suggest if i should install these OTA?
No. I wouldn't use 4.4.2 gapps on a 4.3 ROM. Also, you're on PA 3.99, dated OCT 31 2013. The OTA update is pointing you to PA 2.52, dated NOV 02 2012.

Yes. that's why i am confused. i have 3.99 and OTA wants to install 2.52.
Has anyone faced this issue?
It's probably just an issue with their servers. I wouldn't worry about it. Is there an option in settings to turn off OTA notifications? I forget, there's no PA build for my phone yet.
That build doesn't exist on the PA servers. Maybe it is on goo, but not PA.
