1. Kernels
2. Addition of EC Flash
Check tomorrow afternoon please.
That is the price you pay for staying on HC bootloader , you cant have all.Just instaled Alexandra IV with civato's kernel. As you can see it works. Maybe it is HC bootloader issue and modified kernel but sometimes I have screen freezes. But it is 3rd minute of using rom, and it have to settle up
Progress Report
Just to keep you informed.
Updated to Ver3 bootloader using Blackthund3r's NV500.exe app. Went smooth and no issues. Note: I wa already on Ver2 of the hacked bootloader, so I didn't have to do the whole process as in Civato's thread;
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425
Several options you can use.
Repacked Rom, removed 500remounter, packed tweaked kernel @civato, currently testing for SOD and 3g. Wifi, 3g, and GPS function normally.
Added EC Rom back to the package. (I don't see a difference)
Perm /System R-W works great.
Also, currently chasing down the Maps update signature error (probably my fault). Not sure which package Maps come from on install, but will eventually find it.
Other than that, when finished will post a new version for Ver3 bootloader.
Edit: 3g still drops off. Use wakelock

Thanks!
Already had the maps issue fixed, but created a couple others I was chasing down.
Chasing them down now.
At first, i want to try upgrading my iconia with your Alexandra IV. But when i read this:
Note: if you want to wait a day for me to test a new kernel/recovery/bootloader then do not install.
i rethink what i want to do earlier. So, Moscow, i would like to hear your suggestion. If i flash Alexandra IV & ICS bootloader ver 3, is it worth it? Or should i wait for your next release?
Because flashing ICS bootloader sounds risky to me, especially with the SOD bug. And if i already flash ICS bootloader ver 3 like in the civato tutorial, do i have to redo all the things in the tutorial to flash your "new release"?
Thank you for all the answers.

Welcome!
But don't thank just me. Thank Civato for packing a couple of kernels!
Don't worry about SOD. It happens rarely. I haven't seen one in a long time. Just use WakeLock to keep the 3g running. That will have to wait for Santa Claus or Google
Great! Just when I got my A501 in hands.
Can you tell me if this is pure ICS or you made any modifications in graphics etc? What is SOD error?
I don't really know if I should install your ICS cause of a new bootloader so I won't be able to return back to stock 3.2..

Already install ALexandra IV 3c. So far run smoothly. Everything seems fine.
I change the default wallpaper, because my wife will not like it when she see it.
Anyway, thanx Moscow and Civato.
Woot!!!!
Flashing right now.
Moscow, as always, you rock!!
If you need some guinea pig for later testings, you can count me in
PS; time to modify the sig image ^^

3c TW zip at 4shared.
Darn, will update the other link in a minute. What happens when I am in a hurry.
3g dies alltogether. Exlain later, let me fix the link.
Sorry folks. I posted the wrong ROM at Dev-host.
Uploading the correct one now to Dev-host.
The one on 4shared should be ok.
I owe some beers. What happens when you balance between Baby and Roms...

40A501 Evil Alex Unleashed ICS ver 4.0.3 Ver 2
For current Acer Test Builds and Kernels GO HERE. Current test build/Kernel: ezT20-v1.0.1 by EZTerry OC/UV 1.5ghz
NO MORE WAKELOCK!
*On Most Devices. Still effects 1 or 2 users
Evil Alex II patches located at end of this post.
Currently Patch 1. Should fix users with Google Contacts Synch Issues.
Acer_AV041_A501_1.021.00_WW_GEN1 ICS 4.0.3
This is the Official Release Build it seems. Same build as initial OTA.
Please note. I have tested most of the ROM, but not 100%. Nobody can. Testing on Odexed version went well with only a couple minor things. So if you have an issue, please post it, along with a LOGCAT.
*
Rom uses the Tweaked acer kernel 2.6.39.4+. Please see POST INSTALLATION procedures for Full System R/W access.
WARNING: You MUST have the hacked ICS Bootloader VER 3 or higher. Steps for installing unlocked ICS Bootloaders can be found in Civato's Bootloader and Recovery Guide
Do not install this ROM if you are on HC bootloader. If you don't know which bootloader version you have, download AcerRecoveryInstaller and run it. It will tell you. Also remember, once you go to ICS Bootloader, you can no longer run HC roms unless you go back to the HC Bootloader
PRO TIP: Copy the Evil Alex Unleashed rom to your EXT SD card first, before messing with bootloaders. Also, you must use an ICS compatible Custom Recovery which is mentioned in the same thread
Please direct all NVFlash bootloader install issues to the bootloader thread. Do not post them here.
To get the full features, and avoid issues, you MUST be on the Bootloader Version 3 or higher!!!
First off, a big THANKS to the following:
Galapagos1 - For the update dump
Vache - For his info
Drellisdee & Skrilax_CZ - Work with ICS Bootloader
EZTerry - For your previous help and OC Kernels.
Civato - for guidance in getting Ring and Print running, and tips/images, and Kernels. I owe him a lot with modding roms. Without his assistance, I probably would be lost.
And the rest of the people who got these leaks running when they were first introduced.
And I want to thank everyboy who tested the TEST Rom, and reported back. I appreciate your help. You all know who you are, and you are ACES in my book. Thank You Very Much.
Change list at end of post.

To Install:
Boot to CWM recovery
a. Wipe User Data
b. Wipe Cache
c. Wipe Dalvik Cache
d. Wipe Battery Stats
Go to Mounts and Storage
a. Format System
b. Format Flexrom
Go back to Install Zip from SD
Select Evil Alex Unleashed zip
Install and reboot when finished.
Note: please give the tablet a few minutes to settle after initial start. This allows it to build it's Dalvik Cache. You may not see the Acer Ring button at first. Allow a minute.
Do your RECOVERY BACK-UP
POST INSTALLATION NOTES. IMPORTANT!!!!
- Turn USB Debugging ON in Settings/Development.
- For Full Root /System R/W access, open your file manager and set /system to R/W. It's painless.
- If you install any other mods, DO NOT wipe your Dalvik Cache. This may cause the Acer Ring to not function properly, resulting in re-installation of the ROM.
- Volume. Notice that you now have 2 volume controls because of Acer Ring. If you do not have initial volume, please check the Acer Ring volume.
- Acer Print. This has not been tested, as I lack a compatible printer.
- Ad-Hoc should work. If not, try alternative patch at end of post.
- Titanium Back-Up users. I do not use this app, so results may not work correctly with ICS and HC Apps. Do not restore Data from TB, and expect me to support it. TB only really works, when you reinstall the exact same rom.
- Reporting Issues: If you get a FC on an Installed App that comes with the ROM, I may be able to help.
- Games. I cannot promise all games will work. Nobody can. The best way, is to download the game fresh before installing any other apps.
- Phone Apps. Don't even bother reporting it.
- ROM Manager... see above ^
Thanks and hope you enjoy it!

I shouldn't have to say this, but make sure you do a recovery backup before flashing.

DOWNLOAD
Enjoy!!!! Remember, this is a STOCK ODEXED Acer build. I am not responsible if games and restored data do not function well. Although I did add the latest Busybox and custom install. Also, I used slight compression in the zip, as Acer seems to want to overbloat the rom where I can't find a server to upload. But it installs fine on my tab.3Take your time Mr. MD, Wife and children first We can wait, Euro opening games are waiting us
Do u like football MD, If Yes, Go Russian Bear If Not, Go Russian Bear again
Ehhhh.... Go Portugal (I like the smaller countries)
Update. Deodex good. Problems with acer print and ring. Signing issue. Really don't want to deal with it again
Few things and I'll post a beta and PM you guys on the "unofficial" beta testers.3
Just uploaded a patch on the OP and also this post.
Patch should fix some issue with Play Store downloads and Network Provider issues. Will post a new updated rom later.
It should update to ver 3d.3
Sent you a PM already Mate.
Info for any having GPS issues with not locking.
In the past 3 or 4 days, I noticed GPS was no longer getting locks on Sat's. WTH????
Of course I mess with different kernels, so figured maybe had some bad kernel files leftover. Did a fresh re-install. Got some locks (3 of 11)
Yesterday, GPS wouldn't lock so I installed Civato's tweaked kernel and all worked. Today, no GPS locks (tab was on 24+hrs). Rebooted all is fine. Locks on 7 of 12 sats.
Just some info for you all.
