[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Originally i ported PRIMEv1.4 by Roach2010, an honeycomb 3.1 rom from Asus to Iconia A500..Its now a more Acer specific rom based on acer drivers and software but with 3.1 features. We are still waiting for the kernel source, so limits of a stock kernel apply, which is one, using the new feature PS3 controller joypad's. Until source is out, these functions are missing.

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.
