Installing Roms

[Guest Labello]

Hey guys.

Just a quick question.. i've never really tried to install any roms yet but i was just wondering how?

I download and place .zip file in the root of the SD card.

then? i go into recovery? go use an app?

If it's simple, please make a reply and make my life easier.

what do i do with the Zip file and the phone?

thanks

Well, since you're new to everything, do you want to try FroYo?

Flashing a bin file might seem like having a mini heart attack, but it happens to all of us for the first time, seriously.

You'll need a custom recovery (http://android.modaco.com/content/acer-liquid-liquid-modaco-com/303405/malezrecovery-image-0-6-1-easy-installer/) and the easy SCRIPT one is recommended (my own experience)

Use the custom recovery to flash the ROM is much more controllable if something goes wrong.

actually i think ive already flashed froyo 2.2

not exactly sure which one..

i keep downloading roms thnking they are bin files and i can simply use the acer tool to flash it.

but i keep downloading all these .zip files..

I think i've already did the custom recovery thing.. malez? right?

im just lost after that part...

haha i remember i was sweating bricks when i was flashing froyo for the first time.

im glad someone replied.

Haha, no sweat. Happens to all of us on the first time :rolleyes:

Well just switch off your phone, then hold the camera (hardest you can press) and hold volume down, then hold power and it'll vibrate 3 times within a second.

Then release, you'll see Malez recovery coming out. If there's a box with an exclamation mark in a triangle and an Android mascot outside, you're not with Malez yet :huh:

I see malez, i'm in recovery and i have the rom zip file on root of sd card.

but i dont see where i can install the rom..

that's about it.. that's mainly where i'm confused.. once i have Malez custom recovery does that mean the phone is rooted?
