A friend and I worked on creating an OS specifically for Android Development. While I am waiting for Moderation approval to create a tread in the Galaxy Nexus forum I will post the link to the existing tread in XDA. It's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254909
I am currently using it to compile from source and works like a charm. I've installed it directly to an external HDD but was running it in VBox and it's set up to work in full screen mode on VBox. It's 64bit which is a given for compiling Gingerbread or ICS.

We are pleased to announce the CodeName Android ROM Utility. All info about it can be found HERE as well as the download link. For now it will act as an app that will centralize all downloads for CodeName Android. There is one feature that needs to be added. The missing feature is the flashing of zips through recovery but we are working hard on this and should have it working soon.
Will update post in a bit with screen grabs and more info.
You can find Codename Android ROM in the Development section.
Thanks!
Thanks Angelo.

I have built many linux boxes and have done some kernel development on the PC but I am quite new to linux on the embedded platform. I have an A100 and the built in apps that you cant remove are annoying as well as the fact their is no USB host mode even though the controller is capable and ready for it it seems Acer went out the their way to remove it so you where forced to choose the A500 for host mode.
I their any tutorials on how to build your own android distro and get it onto your device? Even if Its not for the A100 it would be a good learning experience to read through.
Are their any reasons their is not a vanilla ICS rom yet? I'm guessing its because Acer has their source locked up and we do not have compatible drivers yet?
Thanks!

I would suggest reading some of the links in my signature to become more familiar with the tablet itself as well as some more universal information in the Guide, the CM9 building writeup will also help you understand about building a ROM for this (or any) device. Acer released kernel source already, ezterry will be the one to talk to about kernels, as he does build kernels for the Ax00 series of devices, based on Acer source.
I believe what you are asking for is an AOSP ROM, which no, there isn't any. Closest is the CM9 builds, also available in my signature. AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is pure google android, nothing added. CM9 is generally AOSP, but there are changes. The Acer roms, aside from their added apps, is a mostly untouched android as well, it isn't themed or anything like that, just bloated with apps and low on other functionality compared to other company's ROMs.
To remove the apps you dislike, you will need to root the device. Then you can remove whatever you want and gain system r/w. A step further will be to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery which will allow access to more tools, and flashing custom ROMs such as CM9, or any of the Acer based ROMs, such as Green and Flex Reaper.
We don't have much development here, however the A500 has a ton of development, and may be worth your visit to gleam information as it is much more active, and your questions may already be answered, or answered more readily then here. Alot of the development we have here are by A500 owners, who don't own the A100 at all. Besides me, but I'm not a developer.
Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on the new A100! Make yourself at home and enjoy your time with your device.

Wow your a one stop shop for the A100 world! My tablet is now rooted and I am looking into alternative firmwares but I do not see any with built in USB host yet. This would be a HUGE bonus to add for me as I use the tablet for work and all you can find are crappy micro bluetooth keyboards.
Thanks for the help!

USB host is disabled hardware wise, so it will most likely never be available on the a100. Its available on the tegra2 soc but is likely just not hooked up. If it ever shows up it will be a hardware hack.

As someone who is trying to learn how to develop for Android, I found alot of tutorials in setting up the Linux environment to be using outdated information which led to alot of frustration. After a few days of poking around the internet, I stumbled across this thread I'm linking that helps you get Ubuntu Linux 13.04 set up easily. Now this is just getting the environment set up, for developing for a device you'll have to follow other guides like the development tutorial on the android development page (http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html) or if you find a device specific one. I have completed a couple of personal builds from this that work fine (didn't release them since they were just pure stock) so as far as that goes, it works great.
The thread is [GUIDE] How to Configure Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail for Compiling Android ROMs and it was created by sylentprofet who copied it with permission from soupdawg on wordpress.

What do you think? I believe it'd be a very proper fit if we could get it going, four menu corners, sort of an android'ish app drawer, lightweight and I think it's still Ubuntu based...
Hello
I run the SymphonyOS project. We are based on Ubuntu and our desktop itself is written in interpreted languages like perl and php combined with packages like fvwm and tint2 that are available in the official repos so it is cross platform. While we havent done any work on touchscreen compatibility i do have the desktop running under ubuntu arm on an mk802. There wouild likely be some issues with some parts of the interface with touch but if you want to give it a try, get in touch and i can provide some details on how to copy the desktops cvomponents iknto a vasnilla ubuntu-arm system.
I think I'll add a poll to see how many are interested in seeing this on our Note 2...
I'd love to see it ported over, can someone link me to how to do linux on our devices, I seen it before but forgot what it was and what exact search phrase to use. Would it be SELinux and porting or isnt there an app for that too? I'm clueless! LoL
Okay now I found the app... Can't create polls in a already existing thread! errr
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009
Q&A Thread for that---^ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38340817
And this thread over at SysmphonyOS forum for easier communication with @ryanpq
I see @gregsarg is or would also be interested in this according to all his thanks in this thread. Speak up man!!

SymphonyOS Thread: http://symphonyos.com/forums/topic/symphonyos-on-android/
I quote the legendary vgrade aka Martin for the post..
"This is a community port of Jolla's Sailfish OS for the OnePlus One.
It features a gesture-based user interface with a unique design and ease-of-use in mind.
For more information about SailfishOS please head over to sailfishos.org.
This is not an Android ROM, this is a different base of an operating system called Linux, running glibc library.
It only uses parts of Android for hardware enabling (drivers).
Release Notes:
The port is considered to be of alpha quality and released as a first step to the same levels of functionality as the Nexus 5 .
Download Location
http://images.devaamo.fi/sfa/bacon/
Make sure you have a compatible cm11 base installed http://78.47.45.43/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=9725fbb3b3c8d9706a2bb29388b3de83
Zip install tested with TWRP_multirom_bacon_20150317-01.img.
MultiROM support waiting for some changes to be picked up from upstream by the OnePlus One MultiROM maintainer.
HW Support status:
(Look for OnePlus 5 row): https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
Bug reports, if internet search refuses to help:
First search XDA for keywords. Things like libsailfishapp have already been worked out by this amazing community
Software-related bugs (Sailfish OS): first search http://together.jolla.com . Tag your questions with "community-build"
Hardware-related problems: at the Nemo Project Bugzilla under Hybris-ing component
Please do not contact Jolla Care or Jolla Developer Care, as this is not the Jolla phone
Known issues:
WLAN
RIL
OTA Updates do not work
The camera does not work
Android app support is not available (unlike in Jolla phone): please ask about the status for open-source Dalvik runtime framework on #sailfishos-porters on irc.freenode.net and also check this XDA Thread
All remaining: In Bugzilla
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.0
Changelog:
Alpha1 - 20 March 2015
Initial release
This is a video of SailfishOS running on the oneplus one.

Please join the porting efforts at IRC channel #sailfishos-porters.
Thanks to all the Jolla sailors and SailfishOS community members for all their help, especially @stskeeps for the QCOM_BSP catch.
