Original Liquid - What do you recommend?

[Guest sml12]

I bought a Liquid as soon as they were released.

I donated some dollars to maxisma hoping for some great new features.

Now .. months down the track .. it looks like there are some great new options with Android updates.

But where should I start? Which ROM/Android version do you recommend? Can you suggest a thread please.

What should I install first & how?

Stable: LiquidE Roms /LCR

Beta: Froyo Custom by Phh :lol:

First of all, I think the best option at the moment is flashing official LiquidE ROM:

Acer_LiquidE_1.100.05_EMEA_GEN1 -> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MM62W37I

It is good point to start with some goodies for Liquid

If you don't know how to flash bin, there is a tutorial written by malez:

Than you can install recovery, which is very useful tool in daily usage of Liquid:

How to install recovery:

The next step for me should be flashing custom ROM, but if you don't want to, you can use the stock ROM, and enable root access in recovery.

After installing custom ROM you get root without playing with recovery

Which custom ROM should you try first?

I would recommend LCR 1.6 for the beginning

Of course, there is LCR 1.7, which is also great ROM. It is up to you which one you will choose

LCR homepage:

http://code.google.com/p/acer-liquid-commu...rom-bugtracker/

There is download section, including both LCR 1.6 and LCR 1.7

There is also great wiki with tutorials how to install things nad so on.

If you want to gain some speed wih your LCR, you can flash phh's overclocked kernel

There is bunch of other good stuff, like themes, other custom ROM's, I think that trying everything will give you full view on what is really important and useful to you, so you can configure your Liquid as you want :lol:

stick with either stock (bit slow now) or Eclair 2.1 (rom 1.100.05)

all the new roms are buggy in some way (wifi/overheating etc) and until they're fixed/finished I'd only recommend a stock rom from here on :lol:

Thank you very much :lol:

I will get started as soon as I can find a Windows PC in the next few days.
