Acer Liquid VS Acer Liquid E

---

Hi,

Just wondering what the differences are. I'm thinking of getting the Liquid E from Rogers, but want to make sure that it's rootable.

As far as I know the only differences are:
Acer Liquid: Android 1.6; 256MB RAM
Acer Liquid e: Android 2.1; 512MB RAM

Is that it? Is the Liquid e rootable yet?

Thanks,

Rick

You can root it using the latest malez liquid recovery 5.3 .

The Acer Liquid A1 can easily be upgraded to run Eclair 2.1 just like Liquid E. It probably costs lesss than Liquid E. But the 256 MB RAM is the only real difference.

just got the liquid e and even without root I am very satisfied with this phone

does not feel like Im going to break it like the x10 does and also comes with 2.1 loaded with LWP that run very nice and many other goodies will post a dump soon

I am hard to impress and the Liquid E impresses me alot - the 512mb ram is noticeable when I have 390mb free..... lol

I'm about to get the Liquid E. I hope I'm as impressed as you are. Is root not available yet? Is the bootloader encrypted?

root should be available just like the liquid A1 running the E ROM, which I have and rooted. Only diff is the E gets 256MB more RAM.

so can you please let me know a little about the root process
does it over-write the current system image? or does it just root the phone and add custom recovery similiar to magic/dream, leaving the current build in-tact

root process as currently posted does not work - spl is perfect and will not allow commands to be run like that... that would make it to easy ;P

So I guess we're stuck with what Acer gives us for the E then ... too bad. That's what I miss most about my HTC Dream; Cyanogenmod. I tried the Nexus One, and didn't think it was worth $650. The Liquid E is very similar and way cheaper. Hopefully some new phones will come out in the next 6 months with root access.

I believe there are 2 main rooting methods. One is to install malez recovery and then it has a menu for rooting. The other is with superboot. I used malez recovery method on my A1. liquid.modaco.com has sticky links on these methods.
