I was wondering if my tablet can handle ICS. It is 1.2GHz and it is running Android 2.3.4. Is there any ICS ROMs for Scroll Excel?

Ok...I am really REALLY new to all of this. IF you put a custom Honeycomb ROM (CM7 is Honeycomb right?) onto a tablet, will it then run apps that are designed for Honeycomb tablets?

Cm7 is 2.3.7 gingerbread and apps working anyway.
Most.

The ROM is the same android OS but customized regardless of the android version (honeycomb, gingerbread, etc).
Different ROMs could have the same Android version. Major ROMs like CM are updated by their Developers when a new android OS is available.
Apps work mostly on any ROM, unless a certain app doesn't work on a certain Android OS version.
I hope I could answer your question.

Sort of....I guess I should break it down a little. There is a Words With Friends App that is made specifically for Honeycomb and because of that I can't even put it on my tablet which runs Froyo (parsing error). If I install a custom ROM or ported ROM like CM9, will it allow me to be able to install it?
CM9 is Ice Cream Sandwich I believe... It might run your app.
Go to the app page on the market and see if anyone is complaining about it not working with ICS... If not, you're good to go.
CM8 was supposed to be Honeycomb, but didn't happen because Google didn't release the source code for Honeycomb. If you find a Honeycomb ROM specific for your tablet, then that answers your question. Otherwise you might have to wait till an ICS ROM is developed for your tablet.
I installed ICS using this tutorial in my Sprint Galaxy Tab P100.

But because of the bugs, I want to return to gingerbread. Is there any way for me to go back to gingerbread?
Sorry for not being as up-to-date as i probably should be.
What is the highest version of Andriod i can run on the Atrix 4G?
Can i run Andriod 4.X ?
Thanks
You can use 4.0 and 4.1 with some bugs..
But GB, CM7 with no issues.
I think there will be usable 4.2 version soon (without hardware acceleration and video recording). At the moment latest available for Atrix 4G is 4.1.2.
If you need everything working (including camcorder, HW acceleration and fingerprint sensor) then one of the GB ROMs is your best bet. Otherwise, CM9 and CM10 ROMs are available but without the above mentioned functions.
ok, so next question

Thanks for the info. I went to motorola's site and latest i saw was 2.x something. Where do i get 4.x if i do want to upgrade?
First of all you need to be upgraded to GB. Then unlock BL, install a recovery and simple download a Rom from develop section to your sdcard and install it as a normal Rom!

Officially, Motorola only released up to 2.3.6 for the Atrix. So if you want to get 4.x, the Android Dev forum is where you want to look.
i recently upgraded to the stock ICS via update from Samsung and there was no flash player. So i followed the guide on XDA to install flash player but it was really slow and glitchy. So i went back to the stock 3.2 firmware.
I really like the ICS firmware but i use my tab to mainly watch flash videos. So my question is there any CM10 ICS roms that has the flash player working as smooth as the original 3.2 firmware? I have the P7510 - WiFi US verison btw. Thanks.
I prefer to use the CM10 mod since i use the same on my Sensation and like it.

I think you are mistaken, cm10 is jelly bean and cm9 is ics. In my opinion, cm9 is waayyy smoother than stock ics, and as ics it supports flash. If you want cm10 you'll need the modded flash because it's not officially supported -- but just google it, there's a guide on xda.
Few games like "Shadow Guardian", "N.O.V.A. 2" force close on ICS but they ran fine on Gingerbread.
So my Question,
How to make apps, especially Games, which are fully compatible with Android 2.3.6 or below, to run on Android 4.0.4 flawlessly.
OR
How to emulate Gingerbread environment, for apps/games which are compatible with Gingerbread or below, on ICS.
Like we can use Chainfire3D to run apps/games made compatible with only specific GPU on different ones.
As far as I understand those ICS incompatible apps where not coded to work with API levels higher than that of Gingerbread.
Is there any app available which could make the ICS incompatible apps use older APIs on ICS, or whatever it takes.
