Won't work. Stock bootloaders don't accept unsigned blob files (or signed with different key than Acer's one). Only Skrillax_CZ's bootloaders since v4 allow to update with unsigned blob file.

So, for the first update, you still need a computer to do the job (in APX mode).

Flashing leak or even final ICS rom will give you ICS bootloader but it won't allow you to boot custom or modified kernel image. You need modified ICS bootloader make by Skrillax_CZ and to install it you need to do it in APX mode for the first time (using nvflash or one of the tools like blackthund3r's one).

I've had this up and running for an hour or so now and must say, the ONLY issue I've seen is voice search. In Google Now after I say something the mic icon keeps pulsating like I'm still talking and never brings up any results. Other than that, this is smooth! Sound, YouTube, mounting of SD card and USB thumb drive all works.for me Thanks to all who worked on this :D

Just installed the CM10 unofficial release and it's awesome. Have watched a little bit on Netflix and YouTube and even a could play some games. Nice and smooth. So far no issues, but I haven't given it a thorough working yet. Thanks to those who created this for us.

Installed using ThorsCWM173 with Bootloader V8 and wiping all (factory reset, cache, dalvik). Only problem I had was my own doing by forgetting to downlaod GApps. I had to restore and start again.
[Acer Iconia A500] glenniosaurus:
gonna try that recovery i'm getting some error when i try to flash it's like prop error = picasso or something
[Acer Iconia A500] -beluga-:
Installed CM10 unoff + gapps-jb-20120717-signed.zip

Everything incl sys sounds, wifi, GPS and Google Now works slick.

Then played around with face unlock. Starts up but closes out when getting ready to register.

Next played with camera. Looked good for a bit front and back but then hung and crashed.

Now can't start the camera app (complains cannot connect to com).

No big deal, just a heads-up.

Thanks a lot for getting all this to work!

Acer Recovery Installer (download from play store) is the simplest way to check.

Does this have the gapps in the rom or do I have to flash them?

If I have to flash them are they the same as the gapps I have for the Mytouch 4g gelly bean rom. I assume the apps are all the same no matter if it is jb or not.

Really nice job from the developers btw.

I do not have this bug at all. Did you dirty flash? My screen turns off at the set time.
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
Dirty flash? I can't say I've ever heard that term. Does that mean flashing on top of the previous version? If so, no, I did a full wipe.
[Acer Iconia A500] gotroot801:
OK, more problems I've discovered so far:

- GPS: no lock whatsoever.

- CPU Spy shows the tablet isn't going into deep sleep. It's staying at 1000MHz, never dropping below. As a result, the tablet is using up battery much faster than normal.

FWIW, this was a clean wipe/install from the open CWM recovery posted here with apps restored from TiBU.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Why don't you lot read the discussion thread in General? Answers a bunch of these pointless questions...

accidently installed your first version but anyways it runs very smooth, at first the launch didn't run but after i went to settings and exited it popped up, camera doesn't work as previously stated, lockscreen is smooth and quick, really enjoyed the easter egg :D another thing i noticed but i'm not sure if its present in your update is that when you power off there is a green overlay around the screen right before it shuts off, going to try your new update then ill get back to you with any other problems

[Acer Iconia A500] randomblame:
cool

with this version everything is included for wifi but the existing libs from the sdk are set up for the emulator rather than our device so the paths are wrong and need to be modified. trying to insmod the wifi module on boot makes it so that the device doesn't boot also the mount point for sdcard is wrong so that's the cause of that error haven't really investigated audio or bluetooth yet but everything is there for them now just need to modify the sdk bits
[Acer Iconia A500] mjwhirly:
here's another one
[Acer Iconia A500] mjwhirly:
yeah i can't really get you a logcat of audio because the music player doesn't find the sd card so until you get it working its going to be tough getting a logcat working....camera occasionally loads a black screen then FC instead of instantly FC, trying to change volume levels in setting makes it freeze for a second before it loads can take 10+ or even no load and give me a setting isn't responding box. Hitting the microphone on the search bar doesn't load it besides that i'm really enjoying the look of the rom
