There are some very nice and stable ICS ROMs for the A501. There is also a stable, but not quite complete Jelly Bean ROM which I am running. (JB 4.1.2) The two best places to get an ICS ROM and support is Moscow Desire's Evil Alex ROM (hosted on xda), which I understand is based on the stock Acer ICS ROM... however, you will need to upgrade your bootloader to an ICS bootloader. That can be scary for someone new to flashing. An alternative is TegraOwner's ROMs built by Thor and Digitex, which can run with your current Honeycomb bootloader or a custome ICS bootloader, if you wish.
I used to ron Moscow Desire's 3.2 ROM which was very nice. I never have tried his ICS ROMs. I pretty much stick with the TegraOwner's ROMs now because they are well fast, feature packed, stable, and well supported. If you want to run one of Thor's ROMs, you will need to upgrade your CWM Recovery to Touch Recovery v1.7.3. You can find this and all of Thor's stuff on the TegraOwner's site, as well as a lot of support in the forums at forums.tegraowners.com
The final and most stable ICS ROM for the Acer A500/A501 is the TegraOwners ICS v170. If you would like the newer Jelly Bean ROM based on CyanogenMod 10 and Thor and Digitex custom kernel, you can it and support here: forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=680
(You'll have to copy/paste the links into your browser since xda is preventing me from creating links due to my low post count)
The Jelly Bean ROM is real fast and stable. They are still working on gps, hdmi, and a few smaller issues. They will get them ironed out soon. Hope this helps.

[Q] can anybody find it for me???

hey guys i know there are many ics custom roms flying around, but i like to have a flshable zip/ruu of original stock ics. where can i find one? or any body got one? no problem if itz a beta/leaked rom. pls help.
there is NO stock ICS yet
all these ICS are complied and based on AOSP
you could say that , all these AOSP ICS are beta/leaked ICS ROM.
Kwiboo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354263
Is currently probably the closest you'll get to stock ics.
You can also try Koush: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228
Which is meant to be the beginning of CyanogenMod 9
They are both currently still in the testing phase and function similarly

[Q] From stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604)

Hi,
I'll be getting my brand new Xoom Wifi (EU) next week. Now that there's an ICS rom with camera and hdmi, I want to upgrade to ICS. I have some experience with rooting/flashing the Hannspree Hannspad but just to be sure. The steps to go from stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604):
- root
- install clockworkmod
- flash zip from sd
Is this correct ?
Thanks

I am about 90% sure that's correct. Not feeling to well right now and its been a while since I flashed from stock. I am sure someone will correct me if necessary.

You can use the guide, below. I recommend that you read the 1st post thoroughly and at least read the last several pages as they may be somewhat relevant to your situation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !
Don't upgrade to any ics rom if you are planing to test drive or daily use the Xoom. You will not be able to play games that have 3d. Only native apps will work (some). I think its the build and not that its a new OS...but its a nightly so you can't complain. I'm going to relock my Xoom and wait for the official release. There is no real point in using a custom rom if you are at the newest OS and the horse power is great for gaming and working. There are plenty of apps that will give you customization without root. Overclocking is not that notorious but will drain the baterry faster so there is no gain. ICS looks awesome and devs are really genious but I think the rom will not be useful until the official update comes out.
I'm coming from the Hannspree Hannspad and on that tablet I've used all kinds of roms (different Honeycomb flavors). I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. From what I've read in the forums the current build is a fully functional ICS rom. Can someone shed a light on this ?
Games or apps that require 3d doesn't work. Even soul craft that is a ics compatible game. So its not ics ...its the rom. I'm not complaining its a nightly but people saying its a functional build...well it is if you stay with the stock apps and native made apps. But for me its not. List of apps that doesn't work that I use. AutoCAD,Photoshop, gta3 , every gameloft , dead space.... some other apps work but sometimes fc or refuse to open and have to reboot. Some will say its not the rom but devs not upgrading theyr apps for ics but I have seen games working and then not in every ics build. So there's that.
Most of the application works. gameloft's game is not working currently.
I m nw on teameos aosp build29 n i m very satisfy with this rom. It is extremely smooth n fast. camera is working now too.

Actually the nightly builds are quite functional for daily drivers. It depends on what you do with your Xoom. I'm not that much of a gamer, so I don't care much about that. Photoshop Touch works fine, but can't connect with Creative cloud (at least a few builds ago when I tried), most everything else works fine. Not all apps have made the changes needed for compatibility with ICS yet, so not really an Eos ICS Nightly problem.
All went smooth. Running ICS now! Heaven. Thanks a lot!
Edit: should cifs work out of the box? Using cifs manager but cannot mount shares
Edit 2: When upgrading to a new nightly: just wipe cache & flash zip ? (sorry can't post in the correct forum yet).

[Q][NOOB]Advice on Roms

Hi,
I'm not a noob in rooting and using customized ROMs on Android but I AM a noob with the TF101. I have tried to work through some of the information provided in the different topics and I am still trying to wrap my head around stuff like ICS, AOKP, cornerstone and whatnot.
What I am trying to find is a slim, stable and reasonable fast ROM that cleans out most of the Asus bloatware. WIFI connectivity is important to me, but 3G is not.
Can anybody (pretty please) recommend a reliable ROM that would be a good point to start with. It would just be a lot easier to work my way through the details if I had a ROM to start with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Henning

Revolver and ARHD are modified from stock ROM from ASUS. CM9 and AOKP are based on AOSP with modification to work on Transformer.
If you are migrating from stock ROM, ARHD or Revolver will give you a similar feel, they are both good ROM to start with. I am currently using ARHD.
Thank you for the help tingtan. (* searches forum for an explanation of "AOSP" *). I am assuming ARHD is short for Revolution HD?
A lot of the newbie guides point to "Prime" ROMs of various versions (like the "Asus Reference Thread" is pointing to Prime V1.4). Anything worth mentioning about those?
Also, there is a lot of talk if random reboots on ICS, so would it be more advisable to pick for example a non-ICS ARHD?

Yes, ARHD is Android Revolution HD. Prime has not been updated for a long time, last update was Nov 12, 2011, for custom ROM, it means the author is not maintaining it anymore.
ICS has some problems, app compatibility, battery drain, random reboots. I like to try new stuff (have several phones and tablets), so not a problem for me. Will get stable over time.
If you want a stable version, use Gingerbread (Android version 3.2), Prime, Revolver and ARHD are all stable and fast ROM. Another added bonus for Gingerbread is you can use OC/UV kernel.
You can monitor if a ROM is active and stable, read the forum in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1107
Again tingtan, thanks for your reply. I think I find my way from here
Im trying KRAKD now. So far it seems quite nice.
Also tingtan, 3.x is called Honeycomb , Gingerbread is 2.3

Oops! Thanks for clearing up my error. Guess I getting old
I tried Revolver, ARHD and KRAKD. Have been using KRAKD before upgrading to ICS, tried AOKP for couple of days before settle down on ARHD 3.1.0.
Yes, KRAKD has been a nice ROM, hangs several times a week recently (maybe not ROM related), that is why I have decided to upgrade to ICS.
I actually got spoiled with ICS after having it for one day (official OTA), so I just had to change to an ICS rom. I went with team EOS build 12 and so far its been quite good.

[Q] Is there audio yet for Jelly Bean 4.1

Since I am a newbe I can't post in the dev fourms so I will ask my question here. I sucessfully installed [DEV][CRACKFLASHERS] 4.1 Jelly Bean JRN84D (Gnex)/ JRN84C (SDK) with the WIFI update-crespo-JRN83C-preview-2012063001 but no audio is there a workaround a driver perhaps anything, I like this rom it's super fast on my Nexus S
Chris
This wouldn't belong in development anyway (starting new threads in development is for DEVS ONLY) so it's good you couldn't post there.
If you want everything working you should stay away from SDK ports. It's not what you want to hear but it's the truth. There is no source code to work from so they are often very wonky.
No, there is no audio. You have installed the latest port.
There will not be any audio fix for the port. We will have to wait for the Update from Google.

You should have read and asked around before flashing this ROM, as the previous users said and I would like to re-inforce this; SDK ROMs lack a lot of things and are not stable at all. They are not recommended, and they are basically good for previews and stuffing around.
If you really want the new Jelly Bean 4.1, then just wait a week or 2 and a stable version will come out, a custom ROM too.
If you want to revert back to a Custom ROM for now I suggest you use AOKP. It's very stable, reliable and easy to use. Make sure you don't flash a Stock ROM as this can cause problems.
Cheers
From what ive seen there is not audio yet. Devs are working hard to get it out and i appreciate it very much. :laugh:

Custom ROM, Official JB ROM is not released for 2011 Xperia phones. Moreover, ICS is damn too slow and hence wanted to try out Super Jelly Bean. Don't know what should be the exact sequence of events.
Appreciate any help!
No ROMs I could update

And if you all believe I did not search the forum, I downloaded almost 5-6 custom ROMs, kernels and flashed them but the phone doesn't just boot up.
ICS 4.0.4 did not allow for rooting hence went for 4.0.3 and rooted. Since, last 2 days, I flashed my ray more than 10 time with no success.
No Jelly Bean ROM I could find which would make it workable. Hence, settling for 4.0.3
Thanks.

Hello. How come you didn't get an answer yet? To flash any custom rom all you have to do is to unlock bootloader. Just google the phase "Unlocking the boot loader" and the first link will lead you to the official website with all the instructions (I can't post links since I'm new here). The only problem is that your warranty will be void (if it is a problem). Some roms can be flashed without unlocking, but Super Jelly Bean is not one of them (as far as I know).

Actually before I used SJB 7 for my ROM on my Ray.. I used ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM from SONY, but ICS stock ROM too laggy.. So I decide to change to custom ROM and I use SJB with fusion kernel 5.4 and it works fine... ICS 4.0.4 can root.. just follow instruction on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135918

Hi, maybe am late or maybe not, anyway
I recommend using test point method to unlock your bootloader so you don't lose your DRM data. Proceed with caution do not attempt this if you don't know what you are doing,** I take NO responsibility if something happen to your phone, you are doing this at your own risk.**
here is the links: www[DOT]androidflip[DOT]com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
sorry am a new user i can't post links replace [DOT] by .
And also i recommend using Super Jelly Bean 8.0 as its a great ROM very smooth and with nearly no issue.
hit thanks button if this help.

Thanks everyone. With so many help options provided by you fellas, I could flash custom roms. After trying virtually everything, I've settled with SJB 8.
Thanks,
Jitendra
Tried various ROMs and I must say this forum is very helpful.
Not sure how do I close the thread, incase there is any need for it.
