Hi,
I'm new here and I like to have details to design a new version of the android with acer beTouch E110.
Kernel Source Code and Rom available on the website of Acer.
I think this is possible because the Russians have managed to change the Rom.

Whether it is a possibility to tweak the firmware or where can I find information about it, then've googled but have not found much. Root is currently not possible for me have already had a few try but no success ..... taken together, I would like my google account sync. and bring the market to run. This is possible have a few Russian sites found with root and market report, but a good how too no .....

[Q] How to install Android 2.2 on my DELL XCD28 2.1 Eclair?

I have an DELL XCD28 GSM with Android 2.1, i really wanted to know how to Upgrade to Android 2.2.
Dell does not going to release an Upgrade to 2.2 in future.
So what are the ways i can install Android 2.2 on my Device?
Thanks
I have also purchased dell xcd28. As it was the only android phone in my budget. Please let me know how to install froyo or gingerbread on my device. Dell is not providing any official updates for the device.
Please reply to this post as early as possible.
Hello,
I am aware that DELL is not going to provide any upgrade even for XCD35 they are not going to release anything, thats sad :-(
But XCD25 is actually ZTE Racer 2G model with extra facility of 3G added for DELL model. I searched for some ROM upgrade but only one ROM i found that too was for the chinese model of ZTE without EDGE support only 3G was working.
I finally decided instead of looking around and wasting time. i am gonna create my own ROM for my device. I am a developer and i can create my own custom ROM. So i just started the work and hopefully in a few weeks i may finish the ROM.
I will let you know about the ROM soon
Meanwhile get your device rooted and add some cool features to the 2.1 version. You can find many apps and utilities which you can add using rooted phone.
BUT DO THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE TECHNICALLY GOOD AT OWN TROUBLESHOOTING!
ALSO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL ROM(with rooted device) BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY CHANGES!
So good luck!
I would like to know how to root my phone and I am also looking for a free tethering tool through which I can connect to internet on my pc. I am a Windows Client Administrator and just know a bit about android development.
Rooting for android device is easy but its a bit technical
follow these steps below:-
1.download z4root from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
2.After rooting your device DONT FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR ROM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY CHANGES!
3. For backup using NANDROID!
I have fully tested the above steps and its working 100%
Good Luck!

Zofus u r d man... keep up d good work... share the created rom for xcd28 with us.... Thanx....
Just Opened my Eye
Hello Everyone,
I just saw a video about Android Security from Kasperksy Lab in YouTube
But, After seeing this video about Android Security from Kaspersky Lab I realised how dangerous rooting and loading custom rom maybe, I personally had this question with me as i was developing the ROM as it completely pulls the security out of your device.
Android Malware attacks are in the news now. So its better being safe then sorry
So I have decided not to release the Custom ROM to public and also i am stopping the Development of the ROM.
Also i am not saying that you should not root your device and do other cool stuff with it. Its solely up to you. Finally its your Android Device!
Good Luck!

[Q] ViewPad 10 dual boot x86 help?

Hello,
I purchased the ViewPad 10 dual boot quite some time ago, and have come to the point where it is pointless to have Windows 7 on a tablet with only 16 GB HDD.
As a result, I have been interested in installing Android on this tablet, replacing the existing Windows install.
I know how to install Android, as I have previously upgraded the 1.6 version to 2.2. However, given 2.2 is the latest official version released by ViewSonic, I am stuck.
Can anyone link me to the latest compatible version of Android that works on the ViewSonic? I have researched and read that there is an Android 3.2 release for a 'Vega2' that may work with the ViewSonic 10, though I am not 100% sure about this.
Also, will all Android apps work on the x86 architecture? If they don't work via Android Market, is there another way to get them working?
Hopefully someone can help me out here.
Can anyone help me out.....?
I also have a Viewpad 10Pi
I also have a Viewpad 10Pi and I am wondering if there is anyway to root it? Thanks Tom

HELP! SE Xperia Mini Pro u20i

I have just acquired SE Xperia Mini Pro u20i. It was sealed, new in it's box and so had never been turned on, never received any firmware updates, nothing.
It is running Android 1.6!! There is no support for the phone anymore and there is no support for this version of Android. Therefore nothing works on the phone - I can't install apps, I can't use anything other than the stock internet browser, nothing.
I had grand plans to root and update the OS but I cannot find a single sensible place to start.
Please can someone help me? I have minimal rooting experience so links with a couple of instructions would be much appreciated. Once I'm rooted I feel like I can manage on my own, it's just getting to that stage seems impossible, is it???

I would like to help you!
You can search for applications for android 1.6!
If you do not have a file manager or app installer then install the applications via flashtool!!!
The Xperia X10 Mini Pro U20i has a 600 MHz clocked single core ARMv6 CPU and 256 MB RAM. There is no way to make it work with versions of Android above ~4.4.4 Kit Kat as there is no enough RAM and CPU power.
Also the U20i is older than smartphones of this XDA forum category (Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, Ray ST18i, etc.) so there is no way to make the U20i work with ROMs dedicated to any of these models. And as far as I know there is no forum category dedicated to U20i. There seems to be an Android 2.1 based custom ROM for this device (link) but flashing it would not help with browsing and lack of compatibility with most of the nowadays applications as it still is a very old version of Android.
Free Applications for Android 1.6 can be found at this site: http://www.mobyware.org
