Guest mountainchris Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi folks, My phone has just been returned from Acer having had 2 new touch screens in the past month (both decided to freeze!)... anyway the operating system has updated itself to gingerbread (2.3.6) and there now appears to be no way of switching to Android UI (definitely had this option before phone was sent away). Can anyone help (is the option hidden somewhere?) I am using a Mac (not windows if I need to start getting techie!). Many thanks for your help...

The option does not exist anymore, weird that they would drop it but they did. You could install the AOSP version of this http://android.modaco.com/topic/336646-rom-236-tl-metal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stonebear Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) try this, worked for me http://android.modac...r-ui-under-235/ I just tried it, it gives me the Android lockscreen at least. Only thing is I also lost the pulldown with shortcuts and I like that so I swapped back. I notice there is a line in build.prop about Acer shell contacts so that can probably be changed to disabled to get the AOSP contacts as well, but I am not gonna try it without asking advice first.

It works. Did you install new launcher as stated in instruction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stonebear Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) It works. Did you install new launcher as stated in instruction? I didn't say it didn't work. It's just, what is the difference apart from the lockscreen and pulldown? I was already using ADW Launcher anyway. :) .
