[LEAK][ICS 4.0.3] Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1

rambo6 · Feb 27, 2012

I unmounted my SD card. Hard reset my device. Mounted a new SD card. Renamed the file Update.zip on my PC (note: the ."zip" disappeared after renaming). Transferred the file to the new SD card and followed the procedure.

It worked great. Here's what I have found.

ICS is much faster, especially the browser.
I have no sound issues.
The camera viewer is messed up.
Sometimes the home screen is slow to respond when icons are touched.
HP's ePrint Home app does not work. It did work with HC.

Overall ICS is a big improvement over HC. I bought the A100 just to play with and because I liked the size and price. If Acer gets the official ICS ROM right, the A100 will become one of my favorite devices.

I'm thinking of buying this Tablet and the fact that there is an ICS update here is a huge plus but 4.5 hour battery is what is keeping me on the fence. With the update, is the battery life any better?

Any word on included (or missing) languages?

Is this rom only for A100 or compatible for A101 as well?

Best regards,
ww

Can someone answer my questions?

I had this same problem and the solution will make you kick yourself in the teeth. You may have a Gen2 flexrom, in which case you need to downgrade then upgrade you can check that out by going to the about tablet, and image version if it says gen2 you need to downgrade. If not then you are already good right now. But here is what I was doing wrong, when you go into recovery by pressing volume up and power button, don't let go until you see the update actually start. I kept letting go before the update actually began (the bar filling up) and kept getting the ! error.

Could someone possibly tell me if Order and Chaos runs on this update? If not I'll have to wait for root and build.prop mods. That's the only game I play damn it, lol.

do i need to do a factory reset to flash this?

rambo6 · Feb 27, 2012

I posted earlier that the camera viewing screen was not working after the ICS update. I also stated that HP's ePrint home was not working.

After 2 days use and turning the device off, both problems seem to be fixed.

The only problem I have now with the ROM is that using the browser, I cannot figure out how to show my bookmarks in a list. All I see are large Icons. I prefer the list view better. Does anyone else have this problem?

Battery life is more than 4.5 hours, but I think I was getting better battery life with HC. It seems I could go almost all day with. HC.

Thanks for answering my question about battery life.

One step closer for me!

Not really but if you want a nice clean flash than you should do a factory reset and ics is a very good rom by side the cam bug and having a very hard time to root it. Is much faster than hc

This answers my question then. I have a Gen2. Thanks.

There are some games that are not up to date with ics.

Perhaps the screen driver is a little buggy too !
For example on Dead Living, it works, but if you zoom in/out, after the screen does not reply anymore.

rrileyyjacobb · Feb 29, 2012

the battery life is sooooo much better. When using web, I have it lasting full days. (About 8-12 hours for me)

ICS dominated my A100

had that issue but everything seemed fine after reboot for some reason.

This update works with Gen2 versions. Im not asking I'm letting everyone know.

Joecascio2000 · Mar 1, 2012

So I read that there are some camera bugs. Just FYI, checkout "Camera ICS" or "Camera ICS+" in the market. It might solve the green screen preview bug.

It works great and has replaced my camera app on both my phone and tab. Includes lots of features too.

*Silent Mode
*Color Effects
*Several options for the Volume buttons (my favorite feature)
*Increase/decrease JPEG quality
*It feels snappier, although start-up time is about the same
