[ROM] LiquidRush Series Metal Edition 1.0b "Stable as Steel"

bigrushdog · Dec 13, 2010

This is my effort to get a solid Liquid Acer Rom port for the Evo. This will be my final build for this port. This port is stable, has great battery life and features, and is definitely daily driver material. I encourage all Evo users to download and take it for a spin!

Credits and Acknowledgments

Thanks to Incredibledoes for the original port.
I would also like to thank my buddies Bcnice20, cayniarb, and MagnusRagnarok for teaching me so much.
A huge thanks goes out to SamJamz for the awesome "LiquidRush" bootanimation!
Credit goes out to the Savage Kernel Team for building the best kernel I have ever seen!

What drivers are u referring to? I'm still convinced the phone issue is related to framework changes and permissions.

springsyeti · Dec 13, 2010

Are you giving up on MIUI? This looks awesome! Will it have customizeable folder labels?

Yeah, the phone stuff is still not working, but he fixed a few things, and progress is progress. Especially considering he's doing this and MIUI for free.

IAmTheTrueUI · Dec 13, 2010

And we love progress! I wish you all the best of luck. Keep up the great work bigrushdog, and all others involved. Even if it doesn't completely get fixed, we appreciate all of the hard work that y'all are putting into this project.
