vache I wanted to say that the rom is like a dream:) everything works great ... to the 'only thing is that the search and menu buttons back home do not vibrate ... how can I fix this? because you're a legend:)

Can someone PLEASE explain to me in detail step 2. I've spent 2 hrs looking around and am more confused. Does my phone have to be rooted to flash this ROM? Can someone give me clear instructions on how to root? Nothing Ive tried has worked. Recovery MT works, and just resets the phone.

Hi vache ! I installed your rom and so far, love it ! It runs smoothly, and I just looove that you kept the notifications bar from Acer UI.

I had one problem though : after trying to apply ad2sd, the phone went into bootlooping. I had to wipe all user data to get it to work.

Can anyone provide simple instructions for step 2? I'm already on the correct ROM (Gingerbread Final)

download the file Recovery2.zip...
1) extract it...
2) connect you phone to PC...
3) enable USB debugging under settings->applications->development
4) now run the .cmd script on PC with phone conected..
5) follow instructions and done...

pls dont do this if you are unsure/dont know what you are doing...u might brick your phone...

cheers...

Did you restore some apps before activating a2sd ?

[CedricGatay]

Seems not to like a second partition on sdcard (512M Fat32 + 7Gig FAT32) leads to bootlooping

I did all this. At the end it says press enter to reset the phone.. it resets, back to normal.. and then what? How do I flash the ROM? At what point  can I access the recovery menu?  I already copied it as a zip to the SD.

@ vache

Yep, indeed.

In fact, I first restored with Titanium half of my apps then applied ad2sd. It worked flawlessly.
Then, I restored the other half. I applied ad2sd again, as I did with Metalounay, and that's when it failed.

I might add I got a 16Gb sdcard, with a 2gb ext2 partition.

After I install the recovery, do I use the caer tool to flash Gingerounay???

You don't have to apply a2sd again, once activated it's enought. Also it's better to activate it before restoring apps/data.

Vache, can you tell me step by step how to flash after the recovery is successfully installed? It says sending and writing recovery OK.. then what?

@Vache

 Noop scheduler (instead of CFS)

What is this?
And how did you managed it without kernel source?

You are freeing space in System ROM partition - if you have donate version of Titanium, you can integrate your apps info the rom space

no, i meant freeing up some memory by unintalling - for example - live wallpapers, office, etc from the system partition.
on a stock rom a do a full wipe and instead of 113 mb there are around 135 mb free then.
but doing a full wipe with gingerounay also wipes gingerounay...

right?!

any further plans regarding the full wipe issue in recovery with battstats and dalvik?

They are both I/O scheduler and avalaible in Acer kenel.

You removed Gingerbreak screen-off animation, is it possible to get it back ?

So far so good everything is working, Ad2sd is working, WiFi, market, apps,... Excellent performance, no FC yet...

Wrong, doing a full wipe is ok, but wiping dalvik-cache only will also do a full wipe. I'll look at this issue.

Removing system app will not give you more memory if you not remove corresponding data too.

[Slurpy2k11]

I like how absolutely everyone is ignoring my question. Thanks guys. After installig recovery, clicking on adb or fastboot does absolutely nothing.

Set "Animations" to all or some of them in Settings.
Animations are disable by default and also disable screen-off animation.
