its from paul over at modaco http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-froyo-pre-rooted-no-hboot-with-radio-deodex/

if you want good battery life i can recommend this one, id say the battery last twice as long as any other rom ive tried
[Liquid S100 General] 06dke05:
hi..

can someone explain to me diffrent between this 2 rom..

aap_gen1 and aap_gen2??

got any diffrent on that rom or it just a version??
[Liquid S100 General] HustlinDaily:
I think it goes by region
[Liquid S100 General] 06dke05:
a region??

owhhh...

went i try to flash app_gen1 by using acer tool,it cant succesful..bcoz im using app_gen2..how 2 flash it using app_gen1??
[Liquid S100 General] HustlinDaily:
I am assuming you want to upgrade to Eclair.

Couple of things you can do:

1) There is an Eclair AAPGEN2 upgrade package on this site-

http://global-download.acer.com/Ste...d&BC=Acer&SC=&LC=en&OS=a02&FS=O01&Category=OS

2) Find a .bin for the ROM you want to flash and follow the first half of these instructions (all the links for drivers and tools are on this wiki)- http://code.google.com/p/acer-liqui...cker/wiki/HowToRootAndFlashLiquidCommunityROM .

Using the Acer A1 tool, it does not matter which ROM you flash (you could even flash an EMEA (Europe/Middle East/Australia) ROM onto your phone). The .bin I would recommend is .63 as it has the highest baseband version available of any Acer ROMs.

You can find this bin file here- http://u.115.com/file/t3cb1dd51c (unzip the file. When using the Acer Download Tool, you will get an MD5 Checksum error or something like that. IGNORE IT). This can be risky (whatever you do, do not turn off your phone. If it isn't responding for a long time, post here or on MoDaCo. It can be unplugged tho it says it cannot, just cannot be turned off. Only a very small % of people have run into problems).
[Liquid S100 General] RMatt1992:
Emea is used in most custom ROMsas well it seems.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macnolias:
Just been wondering why are there so many people developing so many different roms? Wouldn't you think it would be better if a couple or a few of them worked together on one?

How does one choose?

Any recommendations on a 2.2?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebill:
Because not everyone has the same taste. Some like sense, some don't. You'll also notice developers often give thanks to others for help. As far as 2.2 Kaosfroyo is good. Currently using CYAGONTAZZ. Like it so far.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macnolias:
Even that statement is sorta confusing...

There's sense and what else?

I'm imagining that sense is based off of the stock os....
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] settlethestorm:
Sense is the HTC user interface. I've heard that ROMS w/o sense run a lot faster, but personally I like sense. I do not believe 2.2 has sense right now. I personally enjoy CynogenTazz and CELB 2.1 (its froyo, the updates just put it at version 2.1 right now)

Sent from my Eris
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pantheon.:
some develop roms for their own personal taste, then they share it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crax0r:
Everyone has a different taste. About the 2.2 Sense Rom, I'm working on one, just don't get your hopes up...

Got "Permission denied" after su in step 1 - I've got rooted Captivate with stock firmware - I know that is probably problem with access to root account, but all apps are working properly with it. Any idea for solution?

I've Windows 7, tried running command line with administrator privileges, but it didn't helped.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rbnet.it:
After "su", have you allowed the root access on the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagentooboy:

Unlocked

Did the following as posted earlier and works like a cham. Only difference is that I used a free terminal app...

You dont even have to root the phone or need adb to get the nv_data.bin file. This is what I did

1) Installed Better Terminal Emulator 3.17 App

2) Launched the App on the device which will give you a command prompt (shell)

3) cat /efs/nv_data.bin >> /sdcard/nv_data.bin

4) Connected the phone via USB and copied the nv_data.bin from phone onto computer.

5) Used the sgux2 and it returns Freeze Code, unlock Code

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rsx19:
so the vibrant has one of the AT&T 3g bands huh, interesting
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
the Canadian BELL Vibrant yes. The Australian versions do as well. I always buy Canadian or Australian phones as they have a much higher resale in the USA. That's why we all wanted one of these i9000m models hah..runs the 850 of course. Best part is it doesn't show up on AT&T's phone list so it's just a basic phone pretty much, so you can add $15 unlimited data available to take on/off anytime. Free tethering, etc.

Captivate you obviously cannot do this, shows up as a Smartphone and you get data plan no matter what. Not a big deal to some, but I was not on the unlimited data before they switched out to capped plans now so if I have a phone that registers on their network of course they switch your plan to a capped version. I like this Bell version a ton more than a the captivate, as it's the real i9000 and able to flash straight up same harware config.

So if the Vibrant can work on AT&T's 3G ... does that mean there is a way to get it to roam on AT&T's towers with a tmo sim in the phone? ... there are places where i don't have any signal at all but AT&T has 3g service but i can't even get edge. I would be happy to just be able to roam on egde... i usually get the message "Your SIM does not allow this connection" er soemthing like that. But it does show i have a signal .. i just can't use it for some reason. would unlocking it let me use those towers?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nicholasbgr:
Start button > Run> cmd (hit enter)

if you're in Windows 7 just type cmd on the search box and hit enter

in command line type:

cd C:\FOLDER WHERE sgux2.exe is located

hit enter

then

sgux2.exe nv_data.bin

hit enter

The app should give you the unlock code now.

Just follow these instructions... I did it with a free terminal app. For step #3 you just type in exactly what you see there including the spaces in the terminal app? I did that and it would seem like nothing happened. I connected the phone to my computer and my computer didn't even recognize the phone. Where do you use sgux2? Do you copy the nv_data.bin file to the same directory as sgux2 on your computer and then run it? I can't even seem to get the nv_data.bin file off my phone.

I don't really need any credit I just did what was right for the community that has helped so many people in the past, including myself, and as long as we share information it will continue to be that way.

I'm just proud to see how far this has gone. If we never would have figured out his ruse we wouldn't have all the scripts, guides, and one-clicks out now.

Ideally I would love to see an ad based free unlock in the Marketplace but knowing how quick the other was taken down that one wouldn't last too long either.

But if there is a chance for this to change with future fw updates i should just buy one now. And also i dont see the price coming down on these either since they support att 3g also. I'm so pissed and sad i didnt get in on the $250 (even more plus aka no contract) costco steal alot of people got in on. :(:mad:
