Guest chingy1788 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Given that the current Android 2.1 leak is rather slow Yes the Android 2.1 custom roms do give it a boost, but it is still slow, and very... unsmooth compared to Android 1.6 Not to mention lacking some features found in 1.6 (Acer widgets, viewing running apps screen previews, locking to 3g only mode, 5 row launcher, etc) Will there be any more work on improving Android 1.6 based roms? Angio has removed his links for ACR 1.5.1 We do have a working and modifiable kernel for Android 1.6 that has multi-touch and is overclocked to 920MHz, by disc0 -------------------------------------------------- ROMS Angio ACR 1.5.1 http://rapidshare.com/files/354661744/ACR_Liquid_V1.5.1.zip Mirror http://www.multiupload.com/67MWO1EJNB Angio ACR 1.5.1 Theme Template http://rapidshare.com/files/354665973/ACR_...late_v1.5.1.zip Angio ACR 1.5.1 + Disc0 920MHz kernel http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N37H48SR Maxisma's MCR http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...0-16-emea-gen1/ -------------------------------------------------- Acer 2.000.16 EMEA G1 .bin file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HHET63Q1 http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...0-16-emea-gen1/ -------------------------------------------------- Acer's Download Tool http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...ad-tool-for-a1/ -------------------------------------------------- Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html -------------------------------------------------- Superboot Kernels (boot.img) Credits to disc0 Basic Superboot Kernel http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...f-2-000-16-rom/ Modified Superboot Kernels 1GHz, 768MHz, Both with Multitouch support (with Dolphin browser) These kernels are compiled from Acer's released kernel source.

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 Edited February 27, 2010 by chingy1788 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy__P Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 There's Maxisma's CR as well. http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liq...0-16-emea-gen1/ Based off the latest 1.6 dump (2.0016) I've used it for quite some time and it's very good.

Guest blc Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eViL D: Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Would you have to flash the 1.6 bin first because of the radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blc Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eViL D: Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blc Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) 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".

Guest chingy1788 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tomdotcom Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted 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.

Guest Angio Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 ill continue 1.6 till we get an official rom is you all would like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gapone Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
