Fantastic!

Thank you Quinny899. My D257 is happily running GingerAspire. WiFi works, the Market works, it reads the SD card slot and USB memory sticks quite happily, and auto time-setting means it shows the proper time where I am in Eastern Australia. All good :victory:

EDIT: However, unfortunately, I get a Force Close on the Gmail app, even after updates. Any suggestions. I have cleared data (there is no cache data to clear)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] luis-ramos:
the naming of "downloads for android" is automatic

it must be D:

and fat32

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

make a partition about 4gb in size on your hdd

i use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition

make sure it is D:

format it in fat32 no label

download the cyborg files from here

http://acerfans.ru/forum/topic_9906

remane them to cybrog.part01, cybrog.part02, cybrog.part03, cybrog.part04

extract

run AMSetup.exe

make a folder named C:/OEM

in it make another named PRELOAD

drop the CYBROG folder in it

move or copy out the ACER folder to your program folder

go to programs/acer/Android Manager/AndroidManager.exe

run as admin

and the rest as normal

i wiped my hdd and this was how i recovered the android partition

after that you can drop Quinny899 s files into that partition
[Miscellaneous Android Development] luis-ramos:
anybody get this working on a scrach install of windows 8?

it works on an upgrade from win 7 but i cant get it to start from a scrach install

the only way it will work on windows 8 is to inatall win 7 then upgrade to win 8 while the android partition is active

after that DO NOT install the android stuff in the cygorg folder!! it messes with the boot secter and then no android and no windows8
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
I already did that with Better Cut and a custom icon. Is the market working?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Theonew:
Just to avoid any problems, root explorer is a paid app and will be considered warez since you placed it in the rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rienkar:
Hi, I've tried to install your Beta, unfortunately on my D257 it does not boot, remains stuck on the Acer Android boot screen forever, it only shows the mouse pointer blinking on the upper right corner.

But it seems to react somehow, if I press the touchpad buttons the pointer glow and then fade away, glowing at each touch...

I'll try to start over again...

BTW, through Windows I was'nt able to see files in the "Downloads for Android" drive, I've used a pendrive mounted Ubuntu boot to see and change them...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
The point is that it is in literally every rom, and is needed for it to function. Unless you know a free root explorer
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
If you have Ubuntu, it won't work, sorry
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Theonew:
Actually, it isn't in almost any rom. I've seen some Devs put it in roms and members warned them to remove it (so they did). You could try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=xcxin.filexpert&hl=en.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gboulvin:
Well, to see the files, you have to unhide them by showing hidden files. Go to a windows files explorer, in the first menu (organise?) click folder options then display then "show hidden files, folders..."

About root explorer, I think that you cannot include it in your rom too
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
I'll include that and Root Browser (pro), as jrummy is saying that ROM developers can use it in the next version then
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
I can confirm that the new market is working on it. For those who are update-mad like me,

Here is the download link

It's not my upload btw
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Theonew:
Does it install like a regular apk? (for other devices you have put it in system/app and change the permissions).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
It installs fine both on the netbook and on my Desire HD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] diospada11:
do you think this would work with a Acer Aspire One d260?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
It should, yes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Think I may have a fix for the market apps not being shown and maybe a way to gain root. Possibly this weekend, if I have time. I have exams during this week, so none then. Anything else we want?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gboulvin:
Sounds good!

Good luck for your exams
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Thanks mate :D

My Desire HD is broken (touchscreen failure) so I can't rip stuff from that anymore, only my old GT540, which I'm gonna load with ICS now :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] catretriever:
I'm getting the same problem on my D255. I currently have it setup to triple boot android/win7/ubuntu. Could this be a cause of the problem do you think?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] catretriever:
Aha...second reboot seemed to sort it all out. Excellent :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] catretriever:
A bit more info on this....cold boot seems to stick on the ANdroid boot screen, but a warm reboot out of Windows or Ubuntu leads to a successfulo Andriod boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
It's probably the grub bootloader then
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gboulvin:
Any chance to get root access ?

Using zergRush exploit ?

Exams went well ? ;-)

Cheers !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Kind of. Got a new DHD now :D

ZergRush is compiled for ARM, rather than x86, but I'm working on it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Currently working on maybe getting Theme Chooser in there. But don't get your hopes up!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] - Swift -:
Need the apk for it?

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Got it thanks ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] - Swift -:
Ok. ;)

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
right! Progress check

Pulled cm7 APK, decompiled it, changed SDK, now showing shared user incompatible. Pushed to /system/app, we'll see what happens
[Miscellaneous Android Development] - Swift -:
Good luck XD

Leave a thanks if I helped! :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
ah crap. Shared uid. Well that's ****ed for a bit until I have more time then XD

Sorry for swearing btw
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Just made myself a Honeycomb Theme on UOT. Will try it this weekend.

You will need adb to apply it btw
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
A little preview of the theme

I just need to create a .bat file so you can all install it

The only issue is the notification pulldown. I think we can do with that though
[Miscellaneous Android Development] - Swift -:
Flashable theme or Theme Chooser?

And if so, would it work on my phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
ADB copy. It is framework based, GingerAspire only
[Miscellaneous Android Development] - Swift -:
Oh sh!t!

Anyway .....offtopic, I saw the nexus ICS phone in town today xD 115€
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
2 great things happened today:

I actually got it from Google. It's quite likely that that wasn't the original thread either, we just all link to that site
[Miscellaneous Android Development] - Swift -:
Yea,

Most ppl do that ^_^

AS you know, I was too lazy to download it. Yesterday an waited for the zip. *_*! Haha lol

[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Maybe I'm missing something here and sorry if I am but, I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook and have never heard of any of them coming with Android software on them. Can someone please explain to me what this actually is?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Most of the newer Acer net books come with a dual boot of android & windows. This is a port of 2.3 that runs on older Acer net books D255 onwards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joe1660:
please can you fix bluetooth and also it cant recognize external sd card
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
1. Don't have bluetooth, so no, sorry

2. Never did from stock
[Miscellaneous Android Development] joe1660:
i must say that you made a very good work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
So if my Acer Netbook didn't come with Android on it, is it possible to setup a partition for this? I have it able to dual boot Ubuntu right now but it would be nice to have a Windows/Android dual boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Does it have a h2o bios (says h2o in the bottom left corner on the first acer screen when you press the power button)? If so, it may work. I'll post the windows program that is the android manager if you do. Then just make a partition from a drive, with the letter E: & the label Downloads for Android and place the files there. Then I may wipe my chrome and upload it for you all (I have sucessfully upgraded flash :D)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
My little christmas present to you all. I just made a sort of ICS theme, using UOT. It has the CyanDroid status bar icons (closest UOT gets to ICS), ICS battery, ICS pop-up (!), ICS Notification pulldown, and more!

Download here:

http://db.tt/3GxeI7Oy

Installation:

Extract the file using a file manager. I have extracted it to /qdisk/extracted/ICS_Theme_GingerAspire (Root Explorer's default)

Download "Terminal Emulator", by Jackpal from the market and run these commands. For each new line, press enter

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/loop3 /system

cp /qdisk/extracted/ICS_Theme_GingerAspire/framework-res.apk /system/framework

cp /qdisk/extracted/ICS_Theme_GingerAspire/SystemUI.apk /system/app

cp /qdisk/extracted/ICS_Theme_GingerAspire/DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts

cp /qdisk/extracted/ICS_Theme_GingerAspire/Clockopia.ttf /system/fonts

cp /qdisk/extracted/ICS_Theme_GingerAspire/DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts

chmod 644 /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

chmod 644 /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

chmod 644 /system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf

reboot

That's it. Merry Christmas guys!

I might make an installation script for this, to ease the use

**Note: The device may take a few attempts to reboot, as it loads the new framework. It will boot, try to load (Homescreen & status bar appears) and reboot. This is fine, just keep trying. If you need to, hold down power and boot manually**
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Quinny, just noticed that my Acer Netbook has the h2o BIOS so if you don't mind, I'll probably be looking for some help after the holidays to get this going.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
I shall upload the files
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
You my friend are the definition of awesome lol :D thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sainthalo:
just bought an aspire d260-a. it has win7 ultimate unactivated on it and a d: and e:

the e: has a few drivers and .net files on it, the d drive is empty

the bios has been updated by me to 3.5, it says h2o at startup

it has an xp sticker under the battery and i have an unused win7 home license

id love to get it to dual boot xp/android or win7/android

a) what do you recommend as the dual boot?

b) how do i get there?

Many thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
I'll try and upload the files required soon
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
No rush man, it's the holidays!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I have acer aspire one AOA110 with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB SSD.

Could you upload the rom in iso so i can make a bootable live usb?

Thank you and happy new year
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
It won't work like that, sorry
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Do you know another way to install this version in my netbook? My bios says H2O.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Right guys, here we go. I've had reports this works on netbooks with android removed, so it may work on any h2o BIOS one.

Download this zip: http://db.tt/l9CUU9HV

Extract it and place the files in C:\Program Files\Acer\Android Manager (Make the folder if you need to)

Partition a drive using some partition manager as E: and call it "Downloads for Android"

Download and extract my files from post 2 into E:

Open the exe in the files

Set it up, with it booting into Android

Reboot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
You are the man! Thanks for this!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Did it work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Haven't tried it yet but going to later. Just saying thanks for not forgetting lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cphilip:
Hi Quinny899,

What file system should the E partition be? NTFS? FAT32? EXT3?

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
fat32
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cphilip:
Thanks Quinny899
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Quinny899 can you hook me up with a good link on how to create a partition? I already have dual boot with Win/Ubuntu but the installer did the partition for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Google Mini tool partition wizard
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Files in post 2 won't download. I get to the "Thank you for downloading" screen but they never start.

There's a link that says "If your download has not started automatically, please click here or download .torrent file"

I click it, still nothing.

EDIT:

Got it to download by clicking "please click here to download .torrent file"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
What browser are you using?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Google Chrome. I got it to download now, just had to download it as a .torrent file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Didn't work. Just booted into Windows.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
That's that dead then. Nothing I can do
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Quick question about this. When I made the partition, I couldn't name the partition E:, I had to name it F: because E wasn't even an option. Do you think that might be what messed it up?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Yes. It has to be E:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
Crap lol. Any thoughts on why I couldn't name the partition E: ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
Was there already an E:?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spc_hicks09:
There was and I didn't even know it. I had to uninstall a virtual drive program so now I'm able to rename the partition to E:

Found another issue though. When I change the file system to fat32, I don't get enough characters to name the drive "Downloads for Android." It only lets me name the partition at a max of 11 characters. If I change the file system to anything else, it fits.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mr_black03:
Does this happen to work on the D257?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Quinny899:
If it came with android when you bought it, yes
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sainthalo:
D260-A

Hi thanks for the uploaded files.

I have an E: but its is NTFS so I have changed it in win7 management console to exFAT. There is no option for FAT32 on win7 (due to 4gb file limitation).

I cannot label it Downloads for Android so have labelled it Android (11 character limitation)

Am now downloading the main files.

Will update
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sainthalo:
on my d260-a i have tried the above but no success

i have e: in exfat and cant call e: "Downloads for Android"

i have tried folder in e: with that name also

no success.

will try to format to fat32 using http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------
