Now i do home remodeling and its VERY Demanding . i would often have to ask for help with things the guys could do easily . But THEY ALSO often called on me for help with things such as building code . I also have training in structural engineering. by the largest steel manufacturers in the us Such as DIETRIC STEEL USG METALS and so on..

Also i have a mcse degrrr. Now i will have to see this soon to support myself as my SHOULDER/ HAND DOCTORS Have made me maximum recovered..This is at a max of 8 lbs lifting no over head use of my left arm (i am left handed).LIFE IS DEPRESSING AT TIMES . TO LOOSE WHAT YOU LOVE as a career.

Let's just see if Erica keeps her promise lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
Then, you will stay with HC. Acer presumably won't publish an ICS ROM for the A500/501, blazingwolf gave up, and I don't see any other devs willing and capable to do the huge amount of work Thor and digitex already spend in developing their close to perfect version of an ICS ROM.

Best regards, maris
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
If it comes to that then yes, I shall. Being able to keep on to one's ideals without compromising them also goes by another name: "having a spine."

Haven't seen anything from Acer saying anything even remotely in that direction. Sounds more like people just being plain impatient. Things do not always happen in the timeframe we want them to happen, it still doesn't mean they don't happen at all.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
And good for you, too! I agree 100% with this sentiment, though I do admit to having flashed it a few times to check on progress.

People just don't seem to realise, a company like Acer just can't work like a couple of "hacker" devs working for their own ends. They have to go through a lot of official steps to release a ROM, not the least of which is waiting for Google to approve it once they've built it. People also seem to forget that the Tegra 2 drivers for ICS were only released a week ago...
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Mr. Floaty! Shame on you, no candy for you today!

The devs most likely also have to go through quite a few extra hoops all the time due to company bureaucracy as usually everything, every single step, must be possible to be accountable to someone or something. I obviously do not know how things are at Acer, but if I know anything about these things the devs most likely aren't even allowed to compile stuff locally and are forced to always use the company's own compile-server.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
I'm a professional developer by trade, though for Windows apps, not OS's. However, it does give me more than a little insight in to the requirements of a profesisonal development environment. April for an official ICS is optimistic.
[Acer Iconia A500] gmfeny:
LOL
[Acer Iconia A500] toastthemost:
Lol do you read this forum? Every contact with Acer seems to get a "yes", just not a "when" for ICS.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
While nice we have that, finding or obtaining a leak is not making a rom. I see he made a cwm flashable one which is nice but cmon..... and if u flash stock version u loose recovery and the ability to flash anything else. Which frankly blows

Sent from my INFUSE powered by ZEUS
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Vache didn't develop that ROM, it's a leak of an official Acer ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
Just as a reminder from the first post: "the first dev/dev's to post a fully working rom that's stable will get the bounty"
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Pretty sure the OP wasn't meaning an official leak ROM.

Plus, OP says fully working, and it isn't. :p
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
This is a leaked Development rom from ACER To add to what The cute floating man is saying

So people this is NOT KNOWN To be fully working.

it seems to flash with RA Recovery on a a501.

will not boot on a500 unless you use the acer full not rooted method.

This is a Development rom Leaked from acer. It will likely have issues. Most will from this type of stuff in the past be . Compatibility issues with Apps and Services .But all of this is unknown because its NEW. UNTESTED FLash at will I will wait out the storm. Rom development will spark new life ..

OP this could be a great start to the cm9 port.everyone else READ EVERY POST in the thread of this leaked rom...
[Acer Iconia A500] jvillejoe:
CM9 ics rom. That is a stock leak. Maybe this will help Protekk and others to get the drivers needed for the camera to help make a cm9 rom work fully. Did they release the source?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Acer don't release kernel source for development ROMs, especially since it's an unauthorised leak. Once it's officially released, they'll release the kernel source.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
would have to ask vache if he has the source code or not.. Thou i did not see it on his site.I Do know if he has it he will post no questions asked..

The who he got it from . well that he will NOT Tell anyone.he seems to have a connection not the first time he leaked such roms. I AM ASSUMING . you go Vachee
[Acer Iconia A500] jvillejoe:
Ah, ok well maybe this will still be of help. After seeing the AOKP rom booting pics on his twitter of the a500 I was like :eek: <---Me IRL Lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Read the thread, it barely works for the A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] jvillejoe:
Yeah, I read the whole thread. Well at least it might help. Hopefully Protekk will chime in. Not sure if he has seen this yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Yeah, it's better than nothing. I'm hoping **** puts it to good use.
[Acer Iconia A500] Tapek-AU:
A little irrelevant now that the leak is out and it is being worked on, but the GalaxyICS team i mentioned earlier did end up getting camera working in their newest build they released yesterday :) No preview atm but the image saves and looks great
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
not sure what you did wrong, but it works flawlessly for me (which has me excited for whats coming in april, but thats a different topic).
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
What I did? Screw that, I already have a solid ICS rom. I'm not trying this, sounds like too many issues for my taste.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
But there are NO issues. The issues are coming from people trying to change this, that and everything else. With the downgrade tutorial out, there is no reason for someone that wants ICS with a camera not to try this if they know what they are doing. If you dont care about the camera, theres obviously the rom I'm sure you're running right now but some of us have friends and family in other countries so no camera ICS isnt an option.

Personally, this is just so I can play with ICS until the other rom has the camera working, then I'm downgrading and flashing that, but there are no issues with the leak other than only having half root.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
That thread is filled with people having issues. Not only that, a lot of them are having trouble going back to HC. It just doesn't sound worth it.

I've got friends and family all over the world, I'm military. I've got cameras on my phones and computers, I don't need them on my tablet.

Not having full root access is a pretty big issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] nifterific:
Like I said, the people having issues are people changing things. People changing the boot loader and trying to flash different things are having problems, no one running it stock or half rooted is. The only flaw is only having half root, but unless you're a developer or need to make something a system app, you can still use super user (considering ICS can natively freeze apps, bloat isnt a huge issue either). The only issue I saw going back to HC to root/install CWM is people who dont know how to get their CPUID or people thinking their S/N is their CPUID. Other than that, it seems to work like a charm. I'll be finding out just how easy or hard it is when the other rom gets updated though, but I'm always up for a challenge.

What branch are you in? I'm in the Air Force at Kunsan. I got a cheap Galaxy Gio to use while I'm here which has no front camera, and my old G2 also lacks a front camera. I could get un-lazy and set up a cam on my computer, but I have no incentive for that with a tablet and gtalk or skype.
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Since cameras aren't an issue for me, I'm enjoying the rom I'm on. I see how they could be though.

I'm air force as well, Dover is my next duty station.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
I posted custom ICS 4.0.3 rom that you can flash with cwm and revert back without problems to a Nandroidbackup that you made or flash a HC3.2.1 rom.

Recovery is untouched ,

3 problems ,

-you got root but not full root.

-first boot picture is messed up

-SOD , if tablet goes to sleep it needs hard reboot or you need to use app from market to prevent cpu to go to sleep status or insert usb to wake up tablet.

[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
OP If you have not done soo yet check out the Boot loader thread in DEV Forum.This could lead to what you asking for.But i believe this ics rom is far from polished for full end users. the leaked rom

I can 100% Confirm all of the above to be EXACTLY TRUE.I jthis and several others in the DEV THREAD by Vache. thru the day yesterday .I am now back on my NEAR STOCK 3.2.1 .nAND BACKUP.Restored perfectly.I am still using CRM. Recovery. forget what version.

Guys bickering over this is senseless and gets you no PLACE JUST agree to disagree.. Thank the DEVELOPERS AND MOVE on...
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
The leaked ics rom does report your cpuid as the s/n - the original HC cpuid works anyway, at least it did for me. Downgrading to HC is painless using any of the downgrade methods and following the excellent guides out there.

The problems people are having are not caused by the rom but by being unable to read...
[Acer Iconia A500] Somairotevoli:
confirmed, leak shows my cpuid under snid. matches the one I used to downgrade.

edit I can only confirm the first four digits matched.
[Acer Iconia A500] toastthemost:
So there are multiple ROMS up. Now, I'm unaware which one was first, since many devs just edited their original post, and had beta versions. Not sure how bug-free they are either.
[Acer Iconia A500] wolverine423:
That's odd.

On the leak, my snid was an 11-digit number. The cpuid I used to downgrade is a 16-character string (numbers and letters).

Not the same for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] Somairotevoli:
yes you are correct, it was late (for me as it usually is while im posting ) and the first four digits were the same leading me to incorrectly speculate. thanks for reminding me about this.
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
The hilarious part is, the reason Thor didn't get the bounty was because the ROM had to be GPL compliant, yet none of the currently-on-xda ROMs for the a500 are GPL compliant either, and you're trying to decide who should get it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Somairotevoli:
nor are they cm9, as the original poster wants.
[Acer Iconia A500] Tapek-AU:
nor are they for a501, which half of us wanted :P
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Here is the reason there has been no payout to the Bounty.. As posted in the Op post

Ok, well we all know our beloved I.C.S./CM9 is out and the first dev/dev's to post a fully working rom that's stable will get the bounty. Must be gpl compliant. Must be fully working and up to xda standards. This is to make devs more willing to dev the A500....incentive works best. This is for ICS/CM9
[Acer Iconia A500] skatin707:
Actually, my donation is going to thor.
[Acer Iconia A500] murben:
No, GPL Compliance was just one of the things keeping Thor from getting the bounty. His rom is not a fully functional rom, the biggest piece being the cameras. Even at this point, the cameras are still not working on his rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
You are half right.. The op says fully functioning.ICS/CM9 This does not mean either it implies both.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hmmmm... Considering the original post was edited several times,,, in the original it was to get it working for the Iconia, if I remember. Maybe some admin folks could look at the backups. By working, most normal people think "all things working normally"

This includes multiple tabs in the iconia series. A100, A200, A500, A501.

And if you ask me, so far, nobody has been able to get a fully functional rom operating for any of the series.

Yeah, the latest leak, works most of the time. Sort of. On only the a500. So that in itself, nullifies the "original" post. Not the one you see now.

I would say, who puts out the original "leaked" rom, with the least amount of problems or issues. Shouldn't be hard to decide. Thor, unfortunately, is not part of XDA, so again, unfortunately (to my saddened heart), he is excluded from this. As this was an XDA bounty.

That leaves, Vache, Smaury, ATGadmin, and Civato. Not based on the number of "replies", but based on the number of issues after install. (because you really don't know how many people downloaded).

That, should determine the "bounty". Considering how some people wanted to be the first, regardless of what happened to the user (countless mistakes due to the haste to be the first one to post a rom).

Credit should be given, to the ones who do their best, to protect the users. Not those who "want the glory".

Moscow has spoken
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Totally agreed well kinda.

I think you are correct the post was edited a few times..I Also remember the Op saying he was sorry for not being clear on what he was intending to get from this thread.He did in fact remove a few of the Pledges.that were offered by the mis communications. I am not trying to argue any post. I after rethinking my opinion agree with you on Thor and find it sad that he is not here. Thou it does not mean i disagree with DXA Decision.

If this is off topic or seems judgmental or trolls your thread im very sorry Op. On the good side looks like there is some interest sparked in the DEV Thread..

Great work to everyone..

[Acer Iconia A500] maris__:
Yes I do, but I don't take statements from Acer chat lines serious. Iconia A200 is already out, and A510 and A700 are announced. I cannot believe that Acer will spent any money in a further development of the A100 or A500, as these models are outdated, especially, as they seem to differ in hardware from the 2012 models. At least, this has been discussed by devs who checked the leaked A200 and A510 ICS ROMs for appropriate hardware drivers.

[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:

In order to get the bounty, you need to ensure that the ROM works on both A500 and A501 tabs. By "working", I mean, at least 3G data working on the A501.

^ Indeed, that's what Acer has been saying all along and many people have already posted about it here. So yeah, this should be more than enough of proof for naysayers, like that maris.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Just my opinion .. Thou im always WRONG..

I will add her picture to my Profile. album. But do not expect me to bring her on this Forum.

As Far as ICS.

It will come when and if it does.. I honestly believe that Acer themselves do not know when they will have it ready for release. if they had it working it would be pushed to there new devices.

I think nobody will have ics for this device until . well if and when acer pushes it ..
[Acer Iconia A500] Tapek-AU:
I will happily drop $50 on a fully working (camera, 3g) a501 ICS ROM that all the chefs here can use as a base. Using the a500 roms for HC from other devices annoyed me to no end! I paid for the 3G for a reason :P

My offer expires if Acer or Thor releases it first, though he doesn't care about a501 3G so even though he has a near perfect ROM already...it's not good enough for me :(

Also it would be great if it was based on 4.0.4 or higher since it seems to have had a lot of performance tweaks. Sure i'm picky, but it's $50 so it may as well suit my needs <_<
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
So, wait, this is a bounty for the first ICS on XDA? I know we're not allowed to link to thor's stuff but that site has a great ICS ROM, and HAS had it for a while....

IMHO this is a scam thread....
[Acer Iconia A500] Tapek-AU:
As far as being community and developer friendly, thor is a scam. This thread is a bounty for someone who wants to play by the rules and release a fully open, GPL compliant ROM for our devices that we can ALL work on here at XDA.
[Acer Iconia A500] chasmanian:
what the heck. i'll throw in $20. count me in.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
How can it be a scam when he's ASKING for something, not selling or offering something? Besides, as you can see he lists full GPL-compliance as a requirement, so yes, it would be the first GPL-compliant ICS ROM for A500/A501.
[Acer Iconia A500] IcedCube:
Another condition. ROM must be properly done under GPL. None of the same bull**** that t**r gets himself into because he didn't share the source. Although, if he did come clean and post the source, that's another story.
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
You know.....I kinda profiled you as someone who lived alone. Surprisingly there is a Mrs. Floaty.
