Want to have custom ROMs for the Acer Liquid?

[Guest Paul]

Gonna make up a MCR for Liquid, MCR for Milestone if we get a root and a MCR for Nexus One for sure. That's in addition to MCR updates for Hero and Pulse! :)

I'll likely sell my Liquid and maybe Milestone to fund the Nexus purchase, thankfully the Pulse was pretty cheap so i'll keep that and the Hero was paid for after MCR by donations. I'll keep doing MCR updates for devices I still have.

I would gladly donate a little money, if you keep your Liquid ;)

It's kinda funny, when you donate money to someone on the internet you don't really know, you should probably be comfortable with the fact that although that person may well be pretty well known and reliable, it's quite possible you won't see the results you hope for for your money in the timescales you expect.

Everyone has unexpected things pop up, other things in their life other than ROMs etc. - I speak from experience! :)

Donations work best when you're giving a donation as a token of gratitude for something that has been done already... that way if the donation doesn't produce anything new, you're not disappointed and if it does, it's an added bonus!

To ROM chefs... the best way to do it is to probably make great ROMs for a device you have and use donations from that to fund the next device... hence you can always move forward to new devices.

Just my 2p.

I 2nd that!!! Exactly right. ;)

[Guest B1ny]

Expect some € from me as well if you keep the Liquid :)

[Guest saquib]

Is there a single email/phone number that we can all call, will build up some pressure ? I rang a couple of numbers from Acer UK site but no joy.

Not until we get kernel source!

You are welcome mate. :)

It will take some time until I can release a ROM, because I first seem to have to figure out more about the Liquid.

So far I tried to port the Nexus One ROM and to boot a generic AOSP build.

I repacked the boot.img's with the Liquids Kernel and of course changed the first line of the boot.img in the boot.img to "ANDROID!pk!".

They just reboot without an ADB response.

I guess there are some things in the Acer ramdisk which I'll have to figure out first.(Maybe in the init.rc)

I think I found some things..

For example:

# Permission for usb com port

chmod 0666 /dev/ttyHSUSB1

Good luck maxisma.

I think Paul is right. Donations should be done after the release of the ROMs, then the devs save up to purchase their next phone.

[Guest chunga]

Good luck maxisma.

Yes good luck, but i think that you which are developing roms should work together in core, then when you get something functional you made your own forks

[Guest chunga]

Bump! News? :)

Sorry for being such dumb compared to you experts! ;p

But what will be the difference from our 1.6 to eclair 2.0?

[Guest amdnikos]

multitouch capability, much better memory management, compatibility with new apps/games and overall a bit faster than 1.6

P.s i am not an expert,i am just trying. :)

[Guest batista70]

Can we test the same even if without audio ???

[Guest drigerott]

news?
