yes, have to pay during you are using the download and install function
but there are a trial period, should be enough for download and restore stock rom biggrin.gif

hmm xda forum does not has this version ..Acer_A500_4.010.40_COM_GEN1

if i install the stock rom will auto remove the CWM recovery ?
*
i think any stock rom, acer will accept for warranty since it is stock original

yup, Mr Benny already tell you the answer
but you can easy to get back CWM, just like before you did laugh.gif

3.2 got 3g support? cause most rom i try, no 3g support smile.gif that's why i go back to 3.1

btw, im using thor rom and kernel, so far so good, its based on 3.1 thrive rom.

just the rom doen't include the 3g fix patch only as most of the people doesn't need it
but, you can install the 3g patch yourself brows.gif

popstar, angry bird, ninjump and so on..
my friend say android phone game might not compatible with android tablet and the game lesser too...is that true?
*
angry bird, ninjump can, i play it before
actually depends on the games have support high resolution or not
most of them can play, but some just only available in mobile screen size
hc3.2 have compatible view function, but i didn't try only games yet
maybe the other who already flash hc3.2 rom can answer this biggrin.gif
