Today I received my Acer A500 in Germany, purchased from Amazon through preorder. It's the first Honeycomb to hit the german mass market.

I have Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7

The "E" sounds like it stands for "european" or "Europe" to me, however the only localization I can choose in Settings is "german", while on my other Android devices (HTC phones) the ROMs always contain multiple localizations (or even worldwide like *WWE* ones).

I hope this helps, just started digging through the device and going to root it soon.

If anyone needs any further info regarding this version, which seems to be newer than those being OTA'ed to US customers let me know.

FWIW, I have not yet had any random screen turn-ons so maybe they fixed that.

Dear all,

there is nothing in "/chach" and on the SDCard.

I had a look into it with the "Rootexplorer" and commandline, nothing.
I also searched with "Rootexplorer" for "*.zip" but nothing that is coming from me.

Do they maybe use a "hidden" mount?

Where can i find the logs?
