[Miscellaneous Android Development] JMailuhu:
The following ROMs are all based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat and some are heavily customized to look like Lollipop

The following Custom ROMs have been tested with the 'SINGLE SIM' variant of the Acer Liquid Z500. I don't think it'll work with the 'Dual Sim' versions of this handset.
