hi, i'm just wondering if when the official Ics will come out,it will be possible upgrade directly ota starting from this leaked fw,or not.. and if not,there will be some other .zip file to upgrade to the official one?

I'm not a newbie in this world, i've a galaxy s and i've flashed several times,also CM witout any problem but the fact that on the a100 there isn't a real recovery and a certain way to recover an HC or an official fw stop me from flashing this leaked one...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Root will remain unless system is wiped, and a non rooted ROM is put there. So, any of the official Acer update/ROMs will do it for you. Any of the modded Acer ROMs or CM9/CM10 will be rooted, but won't boot on a locked bootloader anyways.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] FLyInG 2 YoUr SoUL:
Finally, official ICS rollout for A101 started yesterday.

Receiving the official ICS ROM via OTA right now.

I'd like to share the ROM, but I'm a total noob and I don't know what to do. Guess the ROM is stored somewhere on the internal SD?

Could anyone instruct me?

Thanks

EDIT - Nevermind, looks like it's the very same ROM ZeroNull posted 2 weeks ago (Acer_AV041_A101_1.014.00_WW_GEN1).

rooting ICS

After rooting, does everything still work the same, all the apps and settings are still there?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
Yes.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BlueIce:
Update on your qustion.

Hi Matt Mark here, same thing happened to Me so sent my A100 in and got it back with a new system board and the same build and image as you. Did you have any issues with rooting after you got your Tab back if you rooted that is?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] max69power:
No everything went smooth. I did change to twrp instead of the regular cwmod I like the interface. Now running the unlock will change the bootloader to the A200 that has the needed fastboot.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] lartomar2002:
Since this is a ICS thread I thought I should post here instead of starting a new thread in General Discussions I don,t know if this is a bug or not but, I know it is bugging me.:D I have a unlocked bootloader, rooted , and still on stock ICS. I have downloaded some audio ebooks to listen to while at the gym. I am using a LG HBS700 bluetooth headset. I have 2 questions, one: How do I turn off the speakers when using by bluetoothhead set. I have read that I need to start the audio file then pause it, turn on the headset and then restart the audio file. This works but, there should be a way to manually turn the speakers off.

Second question and I do not know if this is a Acer issue or a LG one. The LG instruction say that to move to another song (chapter in book, each chapter is a separate audio file) to hold down the FF button on the headset. I do this but it does not work. I have to manually select the next file. Anyone know how to remedy this? Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jakob95:
I'm betting that we would be able to update to the official OTA through an update.zip again.

anyone checked if USB probably has host mode?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
After a full day, so far still pretty good. My head phones seems to actually be working right. Not seeing a real difference in battery life though.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jakob95:
Would you guys say that the issue with Google Chrome settings is that apps issue or related to this ROM? Because Google Chromes settings works fine on my phone that is running CM9.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] NoSudo:
Who knows. It sounds like it's an issue with Chrome, it could also be chrome interacting with other software I suppose. Does Chrome show up in market like other apps once you have ICS? Anyone try clearing cache, data, removing chrome and reinstalling?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] fisterkev:
The tablet has crashed / rebooted twice now when turning off bluetooth. Weird.

Also having virtual thumbstick controller problems with NOVA 2 HD, Dungeon Hunter 2 HD, and ShadowGun - all other games work fine.

Still pretty pleased with the performance upgrade though. It is definitely noticeable. Very snappy and everything seems sharper.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] selectro:
Usb host??
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pakisan:
I contacted customer service, hoping to give us news of a possible downgrade to Honeycomb. For the USB host, I doubt that it works.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
The touch screen issues seem to be hit or miss and may be application dependent.

I'm seeing page swipe issues on Aldiko with it either not registering the swipes fully or the wrong direction. The Kindle app, on the other hand, works just fine swiping pages.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
I highly doubt you'll get much with an unofficial leak.

But on the topic of going back to HC, shouldn't it be possible to use an image that's been pulled via ADB(assuming someone thought to make one, I didn't) and restore that via ADB? It would be the same a CWM backup I think, just a bit more manual.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tyronelouie:
if you guys would try to download air penguin the gyroscope wouldn't work so well.... i was expecting a change from honeycomb to ics but nothing... anyone had the same experience?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
No one has tried this yet that I know of, but if the HCs recovery partition is dd'd to ICS maybe it would work. crossix has mentioned something about this in the ICS Leak thread.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
It seems that is a common last resort/restore from brick method on most other Android devices. I don't see why it won't work here.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jhsband84:
Yes, same here with Air Penguin. Can't really control him at all.

I haven't noticed any of the other bugs so far.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] fisterkev:
So mine reboots pretty much every time I turn the bluetooth off. A bit annoying, but not that big a deal since it reboots so quickly.

On the plus side I got PDANet 3.25 on the phone and have gotten it to work for bluetooth tethering - finally :). It's not 100% - still sketchy sometimes - but I think that is mainly my phone (Droid X). Still, it usually works, and I couldn't be happier.

I've also noticed that the default browser and the Dolphin browser no longer has the ability to view site as desktop... The option is there, but it's not functioning.:(
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] AAQA:
I ran into that problem,

Instal the ICS Browser+ and go to settings>advanced>user agents, set to desktop.

Clear old bookmarks, and it will all be desktop view for browsing.

It works acts just like the stock browser but has more settings
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] yanksrock1000:
Chrome beta settings...I tried to go to the settings and it just crashed. then when i uninstalled and reinstalled, the settings worked RIGHT when i downloaded, the settings worked once you log in (at the bottom it says your gmail, then in blue 'settings'

but it doesnt work after that. weird!

any help appreciated!

Update:

So after bashing around some more i have been able to achieve full root...sort of. :) i have root now even after shutdown/reboot which is great! Superuser works, but wont write to system, busy box installed too...but i loose RW to /system/ everytime i restart or make anychanges to the system files. how do i keep the system folder rw without having to --> mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcb1k0p3 /system/ <-- everytime i want to change a system file?

thanks! :D

Regarding Dolphin's lack of swipe response, I think it is a sensitivity issue with my screen post upgrade.

I did a fastboot oem unlock while in the bootloader and it returned with acer logo on screen and Ok on the cmd. I suppose this is good?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bmb1983:
fastboot oem unlock doesn't work, after acer logo displays you have to type fastboot continue to get it to finish boot. :)

and..."it's better if you continue that discussion here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1512787"...

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Matt1408:
Anyone notice a delay with the screen turning on while in stand-by?

Feels like I have to wait a second or so. However if I turn it back on immediately after turning it off then there is no delay.

Yep, same problem here, i've noticed it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ED2O9:
Strange... mine distinctly sounds like a burnt sienna megaphone.

On a serious note, I noticed some strange stuff using the Dolphin HD browser. Set to desktop view, several site which worked fine under HC now show up as mobile. ESPN was the first one I noticed. If anyone else is running ICS with the Dolphin HD browser, please let me know if you're getting the same thing.

Thanks

My Dolphin HD is set to Desktop and it still loads The Verge in all it's desktoppiness.

I'd say the stock ics browser is fairly fantastic, but the fact that there is no way to permanently set it to a Desktop user agent then all it does is infuriate me. I'm shocked that Dolphin HD is this good even now.

Acer A100 Sd cardless flasn ICS?

I read many threads that talked about flashing without a sd card. But we all know the acer A100s little boot lock makes things odd sometimes. I am a super noob, first post ever here. I have no sd card and can tazts the ice cream already! I have my update. zip sitting in a safe place on my tab for now, where do i go from here?

What I don't see so far:

1 Face unlock, but camera is launched from unlock screen.

2 Still no ability to install apps and app data to external SD card.

3 Ability to custom set screen sensitivity.

4 Ability to customize what the home screen button does.

(I know there was a fix for this but you have to be rooted)

Just flashed this and it has resolved a problem I was having with a bluetooth keyboard (It would pair but keypresses did nothing).

Still seem to have a problem with Google listen. Audio cuts out when the screen locks. This was also an issue on HC so I think it must be an HC bug.

rear camera no worky at all

Just updated to ICS last week. I don't have the green screen problem with the rear facing camera, but something slightly different.

When I first reboot the device, the camera seems to work fine. When I go to do something else, (gmail, web browse, etc) and come back to the camera, the screen is black and just freezes. I can still see the camera controls, but no preview. Eventually it tells me that the camera has stopped responding and asks to close or send a report to acer.

As soon as I reboot, the camera works fine again for a while.

I am able to use the front facing camera without issue.

I downgraded to HC and the problem seems to go away. I don't use the camera enough to stay with HC at this point. Mostly just ebooks and web browsing.. The camera is just a toy for me.

Great job Guys !

I would like to know if this ICS rom keeps OTA updates ability plz?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eww245:
Maybe and maybe not. It depends on the format of the update. Some only patch the existing files which will fail, while some are full rom updates. So only time will tell, but if it does break OTA's downgrading to HC will fix it.

http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=350

Version 5 of this works for our tab with the adding the acer tweaks seen in the a500 framework an changes the lockscreen up a lil bit aswell though sadly i cannot get acer ring to work correctly on this jus tlike the face lock function. It does give you root acess aswell with the same mempodroid exploit but since we have a perma solution its kinda not needed though it also has a option to install trebuchet which i've had a really hard time trying to get to install normally >.<

I DO NOT RECOMEND YOU TRYING TO USE THIS TO TRY AN ADD A500 CUSTOM RECOVERY TO YOUR A100 AN POSSIBLY TURNING YOUR A100 INTO A LARGE PAPER WEIGHT!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] fisterkev:
So when the official OTA ICS comes out are we going to have to go back to HC to get it?

I am hoping the official version has some of the bugs worked out, especially the issues with games. Most of my favorite games are unplayable with the leaked version. I've got to think the official OTA will not be nearly as buggy...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pintek:
I don't think we can say it will or will not break OTA updates for ICS until april arrives. Could get a yes or no from the people in acer working on ICS but chances of getting them on the phone or email is probably like..... .00000001% chance if that

Battery life on ICS - quite pleased

I am using Locale to control my screen timeout, wifi and bluetooth. I turn off Wifi, Bluetooth and set a low timeout on the screen when not plugged in. I do have to manually turn on wireless when I want it, but as I often use the tablet while commuting and don't have it available, it's a non-issue.

Tablet does not drain much while on standby. I was able to leave in my my knapsack overnight after having used it for around an hour during the day. I still had 60% the following day.

local has all sorts of rules that can be used to control options of what is turned off and on, I'm finding it works very well with ICS and susains the battery life very well.

I just installed the 0900 build and the Acer Planner app is gone. No biggie, never used it, just wierd. Also the stock email app no longer works for me, but the Enhanced Email app works, so whatever.

Bluetooth tethering via PDANet Tablet on the tab and FoxFi on the phone (Droid X) still works great.

All of the control issues in games still persist. Camera problems are fixed.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ED2O9:
Over the weekend, I had a bunch of time to kill with my daughter, so I gave her my tablet running the latest ICS leak. Within about half an hour, she discovered issues with all the Angry Birds games (no touch input), Flick Golf (touch input was sporatic), Bejeweled II (again, touch input quit mid-game) and a couple others. Meanwhile, I found out that Splashtop Remote Desktop still doesn't work properly. The resolution is terrible and the remote PC won't respond to any input. So, in spite of the few benefits, I switched back to HC. In my opinion, there are not enough improvements over HC to justify putting up with the bugs. Acer still has plenty of time to get it right, but if you're on the fence about trying the leak, be aware that reverting back to HC requires a hard reset so you better have a good back-up app of lots of spare time to restore your apps and setting.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Joecascio2000:
So I'm just curious, anyone know why app2SD still isn't supported even on ICS?
