Default [Q] Flash rom on Chinese Iconia A500

Hello,

I bought an Iconia A500 in China and I have a few problems (device not recognised on market.android.com and limited chinese version of Android market app).
I think that the solution would be to flash a new rom to get rid of the chinese system.

Which rom do you advice me to flash (just need something easy to do and stable).

Thanks for your help !

Ok, as nobody answers, I list what I've been trying :

After having rooted my A500 and installed Acer Recovery, I tried to install the USA OTA rom from Acer recovery but it did not work (I get the exclamation mark + green bee screen when I reboot).

I installed the morelocale2 app which is supposed to fix some localisation problems (language, etc). It kinds of works, but does not fix my android market issue.

I found some OTA update stock ROM (can't post the link, google : "Acer Iconia A500 Original and OTA Update Stock ROM Package List") but I don't know which one corresponds to my A500 (my build number is : xxx1.135.02xxx).

I don't know what to do now ?

CAN ANYBODY HELP ME ????

the update you downloaded that failed to install: did you decrypt it first? As far as the version number goes, that is irrelevant if you are talking about a full rom. Another alternative its to use a custom rom, such as the excellent lightspeed or taboonay roms, both found in the development section.if this doesn't clear everything up for you, just let me know
