Likely, Acer was (relatively) fast updating to ICS. Tegra 2 is more than enough.

It will but as a custom ROM. Maybe CM10?

Its already ported to a few devices including the a500. I haven't gotten it to boot past the boot animation on the a100 yet.

Yes. The Nexus S is getting it, and that's a 1ghz, Cortex A8 single core from 2010 with only a 200mhz PowerVR GPU and 512mb of RAM.
The A100 is a 1ghz dualcore Tegra 2 (Cortex A9) with EIGHT graphics cores and double the RAM at 1gb. There's absolutely no reason Acer CAN'T push an upgrade. We'll see. But if Acer doesn't, there is absolutely no limitation that will prevent a 3rd party dev from doing so (probably in the next few weeks).
Why wouldn't 4.1 come out for the A100. It's only a minor upgrade. If it was going to 5.x then I would say that it's probably not going to come to the A100.
I hope so. I don't see why Acer wouldn't, unless they want to focus on other newer tablets. It would be a shame though, considering its 7 inches just like the Nexus 7 and could easily be on the a100.
If it doesn't, I may consider the Nexus 7, and sell the a100 for about ~$120.
I hope that they do. This tablet is a direct competitor with the Nexus 7. Sure, this is beat on the CPU, but it doesn't have a rear camera or SD slot.

Not counting dev work, its entirely up to Acer. They have to decide if it's worth their time and money to create another update for this device, or count the ICS upgrade as final, and focus on newer devices. Honestly, most devices only get 1 major upgrade before being forgotten, and we had ours. The newer Acers are coming out, I wouldn't think Acer would spend the time and money to make JB for us.
Of course I hope I'm wrong.
Ill be glad to test a 4.1 build you put together, your CM9 is running so well.

Acer just let out ics, and with the a110 right around the corner. I doubt Acer is gong to bother with another update. Especially with the bug complaints and the release fiasco.

The a110 sounds great and all, but unless they paid some serious attention to viewing angles and battery life, it'll be even worse then the a100 is now with only 2 cores to power.

Unfortunately the hands on vids I have seen, it looks like it still has that one terrible viewing angle. But the battery is slightly higher capacity.

Unless I see USB host confirmed, no way I would spend the cash for such a minimalistic upgrade.
Ultimate Android 4.1 Update List: Which Tablets Will Get Jelly Bean?
Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A100
Acer updated both the Acer A500 and A100 with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, the software was delayed a bit before it actually rolled out.
Given that the software may have caused Acer some headaches and that these are aging devices, an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean may not be in the cards.
Remember, Android 4.1 is an incremental update which means there is a chance but at this point, we would start crossing those fingers A100 and A500 owners.

I just really hope a developer makes a 4.1 ROM. The a500 just got a 4.1 ROM so I don't see why it can't be ported over to us a100 users.

Try what people did before? Backup boot.img (kernel), flash a500 ROM, and restore the boot.img?

Already tried porting, boot swapping didn't work. Gets stuck on infinite boot animation. I tried it like a week ago or so when randomblame first did it. I was sitting in irc with him lol I literally was porting it seconds after he uploaded it.
I've been distracted and haven't worked on it much since.

Hi guys!!! Happy New Year first!
I found something interesting. The devs from ubuntu are developing a new OS. It uses linux kernel and drivers for the specific device.Here are the requirements. I think i will run on our devices.
Watch the video.

So great! Looking for an official release
It looks like the Desire is just at the minimum requirements for this, except that the Desire's Snapdragon system-on-chip is ARM Coretex A8 not the "required" A9.
I was under the impression it needs at least two cores, no?

well why not we have other choices for os on our phones ? i think it could be a new era on phones os and who knows even more ...
I think it will be awesome to choose our OS on the phone. This wil be perfect on phone that has no buttons - like galaxy nexus or nexus 4. The beta will be released in 3 or 4 weeks I think. I`ll try to port it but I'll need help
Edit: Read the official page. The beta for the nexus will be ready at 13 january ))
Yes we can hope that with both Ubuntu and Firefox OS will let us control our devices. The future of smartphone OS look bright :laugh: By the way I don't think canonical is planning to port ubuntu for old or low-range phones for now. Especially since they might encounter performance issues. The community might have to work hard to port it on devices like the HTC Desire

It looks to me that our processor may just fall under the requirements, also it says the device will require 4gb internal storage. That may be a problem, as long as the system files are less than 250mb it should be possible using some sort of reverse mount with sd card
interesting. But I also suppose that our three years old smartphone won't be "fast" enough for it
Is there any way we could get dual booting on the S4? It doesn't matter if its a port or whatever, I just wanna be able to easily dual boot between stock and CM10.1
Currently we do not have an option to duel boot. I would love to see something like this but with the size of the roms we are dealing with the system partition would not be able to handle it. Not saying it absolutely cant be done but it would take a pretty dedicated dev to knock this out i think.
I'm pretty sure that it's possible to boot off sd (I'm pretty sure that's how the hd2 has stayed alive all these years) but i wouldn't know if it's possible on our phone. Would be awesome though, would be able to test ubuntu os n fire fox os if they are ever ported to our phones

There is a dual boot kernel for the galaxy Note 2.. Maybe the same guy can make one for the s4
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
So far, this is the only thing my Thunderbolt could do the S4 can't.
The second (and third, fourth...) ROMs are stored on SD until you boot them.
I was booting between 10 Roms on my evo3d , check YouTube for my nino-boot video, if anyone has the time, porting bootmanager would make it possible.
This would be awesome to have.
I would pay for this.
I'm on Sprint BTW, if it matters for this feature?
I found this thread via Google search s4 dual boot.
if we achive the dual-boot will be possible to boot another os without any other work? as said a guy up here it would be lovely to try firefox os or windows phone or any other os...
Dual boot would be awesome. I had 4 different roms on my RAZR... Downside of the sa4 having a huge os I guess.
Hopefully it can be done! I would pay for it as well

i wouldnt recommend messing with that, since its in the i9500 forums , our phones cant use anything from those forums because of the different hardware, unless this is an exception
As always, XDA is up to some good stuff with a new release of Android now available. Some developers are finding what appears to be updated binaries for the GPU that’s inside the Galaxy Nexus. KitKat was announced last week, and surprisingly, Google decided to drop support for the Galaxy Nexus. It’s surprising because KitKat can run on devices with 256MB of RAM, which the Galaxy Nexus has a full gigabyte of RAM available. We’ve already seen numerous custom ROMs flowing out for KitKat on the Galaxy Nexus. And it’s not just for the GSM Galaxy Nexus, but also the Verizon (Toro) and Sprint (Toroplus) versions.
It appears that Texas Instruments have updated the GPU binaries for the Galaxy Nexus. Now, Google may not have known that TI was going to update it or Google may not have told TI that they had given up on the two-year old device. But either way, developers are hard at work building an updated kernel that might help solve some of the graphical issues with KitKat on the Galaxy Nexus.
If you’re one of those many people out there still rocking the Galaxy Nexus, and not wanting to give it up just yet. It looks like you might get Christmas a bit early. As the new GPU binaries should definitely help out the Galaxy Nexus. Although, if you’ve held onto it this long, you’re probably due for an upgrade, since the device was released in November 2011. Hopefully this will help people get a long a bit more until the device finally chokes.
This is another reason why we love the developer community around Android. You won’t find a developer community like this behind the iPhone or anything iOS related. Back before I started here at AH, I had a couple of devices in which the manufacturer had given up on the device, but developers had continued to support it for years. Which was quite nice.
Is it real? It would be a big deal !
Do any ROM developers confirm it yet?

I'd be happy if that is the case, the phone still works great. With the main ShinyROM developer starting to concentrate on other life tasks, hoping that OmniROM or Paranoid Android continue to carry the GNex flag.
All the devs are doing an amazing work on this phone. Today, MWisBest has updated the 3.0 kernel with the latest gpu driver for the OMAP chip, and the users that tried the FML rom beta with this trick are all entusiast!
