- You may get a soft reboot during initial setup. I only got one during my testing.

[AOSP]LiquidMetal for the Incredible
First I'd like to thank BigRushDog for his ROCK SOLID Metal build that this RC1 Incredible build is based off of. I also want to thank Sac23 and bmxerkid954 for allowing me to port their build to the Incredible, that I used for previous versions of this rom. BIG Thanks to Koush and the Cyanogen team for their CM6 files and all that they do. Thanks to Koush for his kernel and too many contributions to name. Special thanks to gmichaelow for answering my silly questions. Special thanks to IncredibleDoes for the original Liquid port. Special Thanks to ALL of my testers for their time and trust that their phones wouldn't get bricked.
If I forgot anyone, it wasn't intentional. PM me and I will update this. Oh yeah, thanks to ME for bringing this to my Dinc brothers and sisters!
BigRushDog's thread is here.
Sac23 and bmxerkid954's thread is here.
This ROM is based on Android 2.2 (Froyo) and is built from the Android Open Source Project Code (AOSP) With the Acer Liquid Metal UI on top.
Known Issues
- Proximity Sensor doesn't turn the screen off immediately, but prevents buttons from being pressed when the phones against your face and eventually does turn the screen off. (Works perfectly on LiquidLight)
Videos not playing (HIGH priority for me right now)(Fixed)Mobile Network Settings FCs (Caused by Uncapped Data Mod - See post #2 for a patch to remove this mod)(Uncapped is not default. Will post flashable zip)- Location and Security FC's (Crazy workaround: Rename Phone.apk to Phone.apk.bak, reboot, go into menu and make changes, rename back and reboot - thanks iceman99393)
Internal Memory not mounted(Fixed)- No LEDs for notifications (I'll see what I can do. Any help is appreciated)
- LED flashes orange when charging and turns solid orange when fully charged
- No TV Out
- Changing the Dolby Mobile settings could throw you for a loop.
- CarHome doesn't play nice and will not be included.
- Light sensor (Rom includes Brightness widget)
PLEASE READ - Tips & Tricks:
To Drag Icons to Other Screens Faster
- Drag the icon to the numbers at the bottom of the app drawer
To Dial *228 for Activation or PRL update (*228 FC's on some AOSP roms)
- Dial *228+ (long press the numeral zero key to add the plus sign)
To Hide the Whole Dock or Half of it
- Drag ALL of your icons for the launcher into the app drawer and the notification bar will rest at the bottom of the screen.
- Leave just 4 icons in the top row of the launcher and the dock will become half size.
To Do Normal Reboot/Recovery Reboot
- Use Quick Boot app.
To Make the Weather More Accurate
- Open your widgets app (either with the icon or by long pressing the home button, while the screen is unlocked).
- Long press the weather widget and drag it to the trash can in the bottom left.
- Hit the "+" button and add weather again. It will let you search for your specific city.
If You don't Like all of the Vibration Feedback, You Can Turn it Off
- For Buttons: Settings-->Sound-->Haptic feedback
- For Stock Keyboard: Settings-->Language and Keyboard-->XT9 Text Input-->Preferences-->Vibrate on Keypress
If You Don't Like the Transitions, You Can Turn Them Off
- Settings-->Display-->Animation-->Some or None
If You Don't Like the Launcher, Install Your Favorite Launcher (FIRST!!!!) and THEN Change it
- Settings-->Applications-->User Interface. After rebooting it will ask your to choose you launcher (DO NOT CHOOSE LAUNCHER2) (Thanks cooljames2186 for finding this)
- If you don't install another launcher before doing this, you may end up in a bootloop
If You Select Custom Wallpapers and No Longer Want Them Displayed in the Wallpaper (Home Decor) app
- Use Root Explorer (or your favorite file manager) and navigate to here: /data/data/com.acer.android.breeze.launcher/wallpapers/user/
- Delete any of the numbered folders (i.e. 1, 2, etc)and they will immediately disappear from the wallpaper app.

Instructions
- Download the Rom and the Phone Fix to your SD card.
- Nandroid
- Wipe, Wipe, Wipe again.. Oh yeah.... WIPE!
- Flash the rom zip via recovery.
- Boot it fully (You won't get a FC if you hit back arrow at region selection, but the FC doesn't hurt anything).
- Go through set up or skip though it.
- Flash the phone fix via Rom Manager or recovery
- Set up your Gmail account, let it sync, get your updates from the market.
- It may be sluggish after your first boot. Please give it 15 mins or more (depending on how much media you have on internal memory and your sdcard) because the media scanner is going through all of your media, adding it into it's database and creating thumbnails.
- Enjoy!
[AOSP]LiquidLight for the Incredible
This is basically the same as LiquidMetal with a working proximity sensor that turns the screen off immediately. It doesn't have the weird orange artifact box in the email app or browser (see screenshot below). It's also about 20MB smaller in file size. I added the regular music app with it's widgets that work well. Remove the default music widget and add One of the stock ones (i.e. 4x2, etc). Besides that it has the same known issues as LiquidMetal as well as a widget screen FC from time to time that doesn't hurt anything.
****DISCLAIMER: By downloading you agree that I will not, nor will anyone else but you, take responsibility for the results of you flashing any of the files below.
Update (2/27/2011): Camera fixed and both links added back.
