Thanks Mark. Yes, the A100 is the 7 version, not sure if there other differences.

Thanks Mark. You justy answered another question I had.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
You can update your Android phone. I've updated my original Droid to the latest and greatest version with each new release. I'm staying away from ICS because it is an original Droid running at 800MHz. Tim On Mar 29, 2012, at 3:55 PM, Pete wrote: Thanks Mark. You justy answered another question I had.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
Just about all Android phones, and tablets can be end-user-upgraded via CyanogenMod. It's community driven, so you're not at the mercy of the hardware manufacturer. http://www.androidcentral.com/tags/cyanogenmod ~Roger On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 6:55 PM, Pete wrote: Thanks Mark.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
I listen to Leo laporte on the radio. On one show some time ago he mentioned that some earlier androids could not be upgraded past a certain version. I suspect it has to do with the processor chips being incompatible, or with memory limitations, much like desktop systems.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
It's the processor - a single chip running at 800MHz - even overclocked to 1GHz - really isn't enough for all of the new bling that is Ice Cream Sandwich. But, Cyanogen gives us a lot of coolness far beyond the stock vendor-supplied versions. Tim On Mar 29, 2012, at 4:59 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: I listen to Leo laporte on the radio.

Re: [OT] ACer A100 Tablet
Folks, I prowled around the CyanogenMod web site and it looks great BUT... nowhere can I find how to install it on my phone. I also see various issues about having to reload some of the Google apps like Maps apps after upgrading. SO, all-in-all, this makes me pretty nervous, I'd like to upgarde but I don't want to end up with a dead phone! I also tried the OTA Update on my phone (HTC Incredible from Verizon) but seem to always get a service not available message.

Pete About the risks... the only comfort I can offer is that when it goes wrong, it is typically called soft bricking, which means you can try again and eventually get it right. The best thing to do is get the titanium backup app, and backup the original ROM that your phone has. Make sure there are success stories already with your phone model (youtube is great for the walk-throughs). Take a leap of faith. It all begins with an upgrade to the firmware called ClockWorkMod Recovery. This gives you a text-based menu to format the internal SD, and choose the ROM you are about to install (previously copied to your phone over usb). ~Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
