Android 1.6 based ROMs (and Instructions)

These kernels are compiled from Acer's released kernel source. These kernels may have bugs and issues as they are compiled from an old development version of the kernel (thats what Acer released).

Not all Liquids will run at 1GHz, or run stably at 1GHz. For those there is the 920MHz kernel with MT, again not guaranteed to work with all Liquids

920MHz kernel with MT

--------------------------------------------------

You will need

One of the above roms

Acer's 2.000.16 .bin file

Acer's Download tool

Android SDK installed on your PC

A superboot kernel

Lickon's Recovery Image

You will need to

1) Install Android SDK if you haven't done so already

2) Use the Acer download tool to flash to 2.000.16 ROM

3) Boot into boot loader (hardware button combiniation or "adb reboot bootloader")

4) Install superboot for 2.000.16 - "fastboot -i 0x0502 flash boot <boot image>"

5) Install lickon recovery image - "fastboot -i 0x0502 flash recovery <recovery image>"

6) Reboot device - "fastboot -i 0x0502 reboot"

7) Copy Angio ACR 1.5.1 .zip file into root of SD card

8) Boot into recovery (hardware button combiniation or "adb reboot recovery")

9) Select "Wipe dalvik-cache" (device may restart and boot into recovery, thats ok)

10) Select "Wipe data" (device may restart and boot into recovery, thats ok)

11) Update to Angio ACR 1.5.1 by selecting "Apply any zip from sd", then selecting Angio's ACR 1.5.1 .zip file

12) Select "Reboot system now"

**Disclaimer: I and any persons involved in the creation and/or distribution of these ROMs and modifications are not responsible for any data loss caused, damaged caused or money lost. Users of the ROMs are using these roms at their own risk.

By going from the stock rom and updating to the 2.000.16 .bin file (or any .bin file), you may not be able to completely revert to the original firmware on your device

This means warranty will be void, and if something does go wrong, then Acer won't fix it for you.

Only when Acer releases an official ROM (posted on their support webpage with a set of terms and conditions and/or a disclaimer) you will be able to go to official firmware completely. Only then you will be able to claim warranty again.

I'm hoping that Angio continues on his great work with Android 1.6

More instructions and links to be added tomorrow

There's Maxisma's CR as well.

Based off the latest 1.6 dump (2.0016)

I've used it for quite some time and it's very good.

February 22, 2010

The theme itself isnt good, transparent power widget does not work on a bright background

I'm with chingy1788 here. While 2.1 is cool and everything, it's nowhere near being "production usable". I appreciate the work you put in, but I also hope someone could continue the work Angio made with the latest Donut ACR.

Give some love for ye olde Donut :D

February 22, 2010

just use 1.5.1 is amazing

... dev other rom for 1.6 don't have sense..

February 22, 2010

I think Angio deleted the links for ACR 1.5.1.

February 22, 2010

Would you have to flash the 1.6 bin first because of the radio?

Yep. I tried using system.img and boot from 1.6 (2.000.16) and radio from 2.1, but it didn't work.

You try through nandroid, fastboot or via update?

Flashed 2.1 with Acer tool, then flashed 1.6 system, boot and recovery with fastboot. Finally wiped data with lickonn recovery and booted. System booted fine and most of stuff worked but no network (GSM) or bluetooth etc. Didn't spend more time digging around. Also, Baseband version said "Unknown".

Since Angio removed the link to the 1.5.1 rom, let me know if you want it uploaded :(

February 23, 2010

Please do.

February 23, 2010

A new thread should be made for those Android 1.6 Roms

Devs, don't forget Android 1.6

theres a kernel, multi touch, overclocking, Acer's UI (its not just the two widgets)

Theres talk of FM radio

Keep improving 1.6, until the official 2.1 comes out

February 23, 2010

I reinstalled a 2.00016 bin using the AcerTool, then Nandroid restored my phone from a 1.6 backup (prior to going to 2.1).

Everything is back to ACR1.51.

The speed is amazing and is clearly why I enjoyed using the phone so much.

2.1 had me thinking I was back to using the old HTC Magic/sapphire.

Fully support this thread!

February 23, 2010

let us use this thread to upload the 1.6 angio roms :(

February 23, 2010

i've upped 1.5.1 for 1.6 here

ACR_Liquid_V1.5.1

ACR_Template_v1.5.1

February 23, 2010

Thanks, I placed it on the top of this thread, and some instructions (which I'll add to tomorrow morning)

February 23, 2010

ACR v1.5.1 repacked & resigned with disc0/blc 920MHz superboot kernel: Megaupload

February 23, 2010

I love my liquid @ 920 Mhz, and now i could have the both (ACR + Speed :() )

Thanks again

Do we need to make a Wipe after the ACR 1.5.1 update ??? Because nothing change for me after the update (There's no theme)

Edited February 24, 2010 by bbpoux

February 24, 2010

Usually a wipe is required before flashing to a new rom

February 24, 2010

Do we need to make a Wipe after the ACR 1.5.1 update ??? Because nothing change for me after the update (There's no theme)

From what I remember ACR 1.5.1 was unthemed.

February 24, 2010

ill continue 1.6 till we get an official rom is you all would like?

Yeah that would be wise but you should also ask EvilD to join forces with all off other devs to make that 2.1 better when it arrives. It's better to have one bug free custom ROM than many kinda decent ones. What do you think?
