Even better, go to the Dev forum and do a search on your question. It's asked at least twice a day and you should find an answer.

Well, then, you will want to wait till an official ICS is released.

If you bother to read, you will see, they are "leaked" versions. AKA Beta.

But if you want some advice, and you want the least amount of issues, well, Icylecious. So far, his seems to be somewhat trouble free.

If you want some extra eye candy, and tons of scripts that does who knows what, well, you can try Flexreeper. Some folks like it.

But don't come crying back when your CWM Recovery gets fubarred, along with the backup images.

It's all Beta, and anything can happen, ;)

my advice would be that if you really have to ask . You really should wait for Acer to push the OTA. not knowing your background / flashing and tech abilities.
But i would totally agree with MOSCOW .

Nothing personal if you are experienced in flashing and can handle a disaster. flash them all and see what you like best..

GOOD LUCK..

Sorry to tell but Icylecious is a little outdated , not compaired to 0.014 , 0.022 but compaired to 1.031.00 got some good improvements like better touch screen response in games like shadow gun is now working (where with previous leaks it wasn't)and better camera.

Tons of scripts ?
Not only extra eye-candy , ring , development settings , extra widgets , tweaked kernel , etc ...................
Some like it ? 232207 hits is not some.
Oh and it's flexreaper .

I havent used icyliscious ,I just know KJ and his stuff is usally stable , and if you dont know what your doing he can show you exactly what to do to flash , now with that said ,I have been using Civatos flexreaper since he opened the leaked rom ,never had a failure , glitches ,sure its a leaked rom ,so you really dont know what your gonna get, but it sure is fast! Also running Amon Ra , never haver had a problem there either ,Ive gone back to HC twice , no problems , but I'll stick with flex for now!

The best advice is to go over to the dev section and READ!! Read everything and if you want to try something , most of the guys cooking roms will help ya (if they have the time)!

anything wrong with Taboonay? i flashed it a couple of days ago, and its running awesome - aside from SOD, which seems to have been fixed by flashing the sod-fix going around, its been flawless.

I tried the Taboonay and couldn't get the GPS to work even the patch. Other than that it was fast and smooth. Moving on to Lightspeed 4.4.

After SOD fix update the stock camera effect doesn't seem to work anymore, FCes everytime I try to turn them on.

I'm running Thor's icsrom v158. Absolutely love it as it sticks to the stock android with customizations. No Acer ring, no bloatware just android.

Dear fcmugen, I don't think there's anything stock in a CM9 ROM with tweaked framework and a custom overclockable kernel. So it's faaaaar from "stock" Android :)
