▌brainmaster´s Guide for Android and Android Builds for Acer NeoTouch▐

---

First of all - I am not the creator of this Builds. All the credits are going to the guys who are compiling the needed stuff for our Acer (holo - for kernel for our Acer device, and many other guys from TG01 division, guys responsible for different Android builds and me - getting everything together).

I am only gathering them together and making it easy for you to install it on our Acer.

GUIDE:

In order to get Android to work properly on Acer you need a fast Micro SD Card at least Class 4. That is because Android runs from a SD Card, it's not ROM that you can flash. Also you need at least 1,5 GB of free space on your SD Card.

Many errors or problems on Android not booting on your device can be resolved if you format your Micro SD Card with the Panasonic SD Formater. Backup your files from the Micro SD Card, download the utility, run it and format your Card.


1. Download the Android Build zip file.

2. Unzip the file and copy the whole Android folder to your Micro SD Card. Remember - copy the WHOLE folder not the content of the folder.

3. Start the File Explorer and go to the Android folder on your SD Card. Start CLRCAD.exe, then start Haret.exe and click on the "Run" button.

4. Now Android is booting - it can take up to 15 minutes. DON'T touch anything until you see the Lockscreen.

5. Move the Lock to the right to unlock your device.

6. Play with Android.

HINTS:

Android is working from the SD Card. It takes 5 - 10 minutes for the system to work fluently. It is also good to reboot Android after first start.

You can hide the taskbar by sliding toward the taskbar with your finger. Sliding down from the taskbar opens the Notifications bar.

NOT WORKING: Everything except the Touchscreen and Graphics Acceleration. NO Sound, WI-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Phone. In the moment you can only play a little with the Android and customize it. With the time there will be more drivers added to the Android Builds.

RELEASES:

30.11.2010:

Initial Release - HyperDroid 1.7 is the Basis. Its Multilanguage Build - over 20 Languages.

DOWNLOAD.

KERNEL Updates for Android:

30.11.2010: Hardware buttons working, vibration working. Extract the image into the Android folder on your SD Card and overwrite the existing file. When you run Haret its gonna crash first time booting Android, but after the second try it runs good.

10.12.2010: Sound is now working - but it crashes sometimes. Extract the image into the Android folder on your SD Card and overwrite the existing file.

12.12.2010: Phone is working - it takes up to 5 minutes to connect to mobile network. Battery driver working, but always showing 50 %. Extract the image into the Android folder on your SD Card and overwrite the existing file.

ADDONS for Android:

In the attachments you can find the data.img file in different sizes: 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 3GB or 4GB. You can use whichever you like. For testing purposes I am recommending the 512MB data.img

FIXES for Android:

SD Card fix: Just extract the folder from the zip file in your Android folder. Boot Android. The SD Card will be recognized automatically.

Reserved 4.

The main difference is the Graphics Acceleration with Live Wallpapers and real Multilanguage support. There are also added apps and games.

The 75MB file is Android compiled for HTC Touch Diamond, the 240MB file is Android 2.2 Froyo compiled for HD2 that shares the same GPU as our Acer.

great news! think you !

Thx brainmaster, for this topic, hope will have many update in the future. You speak russian ?
