CM9 ROM for the Acer Liquid Metal, here it is: http://www.mediafire...jkzcabc0j1sa8fk
And here is the flashable GAPPS (modified so it will install everything, even Google Play): http://www.mediafire...yad55f22n530pq5

I installed GAPPS but still no playstore.
Please anyone can help me?

I don't use mobile data and the camera so this rom is perfect for me!
thanks

First the problem is caused due insufficient space in the system partition ,

Solution
first install only rom and reboot  then install root explorer or any root file manager of your choice open /system/media delete the videos folder also delete any ringtones which you don't use. Then open /system/app delete all the unneeded apps like rom manager, email ,exchange ,camera etc
now extract the gapps and compare their size with the free space in /system partition
The free space in the system partition must be greater than that of gapps (you can also delete some gapps if you want)
If you have deleted some gapps create a new zip
Now reboot into recovery and flash the gapps

Thanks for the info!

I don't think it's a problem with space because I installed all gapps found in this thread (10mb, 23 mb, 27 mb) but still no playstore (only youtube gets installed).

How can I install root explorer without a file manager?

definitely insufficient storage space. it should be lesser than 200mb.

So neither the 10mb GAPPS is enough?

I need only playstore, if I add "MarketUpdater.apk" in the cm9 zip (system/app) and I install rom again should it work?

market is now named phonesky.apk. Also, it has dependencies like google services framework etc.

[Carter07]

So any pratical advice to make it working?

It's a shame you made such hard work to port cm9 and neither the ones that are happy with no data connection can use it

there already said you need to cleanup system folder and set full gapps. You should have less than 200mb in system. Also cache storage  should be enough to host all that apps.

thanks, but can I do it directly from the cm9 zip and then install rom and full gapps?

I haven't found a file manager already installed in cm9 so I don't know how to install root explorer.

yeap, system/app folder is right in your zip. But don't merge gapps and main zip, it usually causes more bugs.

[Carter07]

Thanks a lot, now it works!

"-untick mobile data at first boot and reboot!(if you don't want to control it anytime, flash that zip, it will kill also a SIM card support)"

I have to do it only the first time I install cm9, right?

sure. And each wipe of course.

I tried this rom for a few hours and it's awesome! speed and boot time are great compared to stock.

But I found my phone shut down 2 times when it was inactive, there must be some bugs.
