Hi all,
Since there is still no device specific forum for the Acer Liquid S1.
Me and probably many other people who own this budget 5.7" phablet beast consider this phone as a device that certainly deserves his own forum
Until there is a device specific forum I created this thread so every S1 owner can share tips and questions regarding the Acer Liquid S1 (=S510).
I didn't see any request for a device specific forum, so make sure to request it here:

Haven't seen anyone try it yet - but I'd guess it's done through the standard MTK-procedures? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490
Possibly even motochopper that works for the Liquid E2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604
Hope there will be some dev around this phone too
Agreed and now looking at the details of new Acer Liquid S2 - I feel it definitely deserves it's own section - especially when I compare the specs to the likes of Ultra and Note III a worthy competitor and would like to see some development and discussion on this model.
ps: added a request to create forum - in the new devices section - hope someone does create one and we can see some new development on this
Trying to root it, but this device seems to be well locked. :/

Thats bad news, this is what is holding me off getting it at the moment. I did find a link when searching for a solution that led here :http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2798984876&uk=2318828147 (it is in chinese).
Don't know if it works though, been searching for confirmation of the device rooted but with no luck though.
Hi spanner44, that tool failed to root the S1

Thats a shame.
The main reason I need to root initially, is to be able to transfer my files from existing phone. Does anyone know if Helium would enable this ?
If this works, then I don't mind going for this phone, and as long as I can transfer my data, I can hold out for root until hopefully more developers get on board.
Helium could be enough yes. What files exactly do you need to transfer?
Envoyé depuis mon S510
Mainly my game files, well Subway surfers for definite. My apps I can download again from the play store. Of course some games are now connected via G+ sign in, so they are alright, it is just a shame that this feature isn't compulsory on all apps/games. It would make the transition to a new phone easier.
The camera is just of average
Just bought Acer Liquid S1 a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the camera. With 8MP camera fitted on it, the quality of the picture is just mediocre. The front camera (2MP) is also disappointing, full of noise when it is used indoors. There's no visible notification when the display is off. Therefore, we need to turn on the display to check whether there's a miscall or incoming email or text message.
Is there any way in which I can have root access for this phablet? I have ODIN software installed in my laptop, and I just need a *.tar file special for this product to root it.

We manage to have root working on the Acer S510 (S1)
Check out our French Forum : http://acer-club.fr/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=9323
@gbas4nie don't use Odin, it's only for Samsung devices....
Edit : And tools are also available on my website : http://acer.shreps.fr
Just moved over from Samsung Note to this phone as it's Dual Sim. Brilliant, as I no longer have to carry two phones with me. Works great. and less than half the price of a Note. I miss the stylus, but apparently a dual sim Note may be coming soon!
Hello, is there any root-guide in english available?

Hi that's strange as the app that flashes will check the ROM version and won't flash if your system is not as expected. Did you use the app ?
Hello,
Awesome XDA developers. I am seriously in need for some helping hands for my Tablet PC. I have got a China Octa Core 7 inch tablet pc with WUXGA display, MT6592 Octa Core processor, 2GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, Android 4.2.2 OS , 13.3 MP REAR CAMERA, 5.3 MP front camera etc.
So far the tablet is so good with Android 4.2.2 OS. The china company recently gave me an updated ROM for the tablet PC. The update includes Android 4.4.2 OS. I installed the firmware with SP Flash tool 5.5. After installing the OS, I was very happy to enjoy KiTkaT. Every thing were perfect.
Except one strange problem I am facing with Android 4.4.2 KiTkaT upgrade. I can take photos in 13.3 MP high resolution with the rear camera. But when I record videos with "Fine" recording mode or any other modes (low, medium high or fine), the video gets recorded in 640x480 low resolution only. I tried every camera settings did not work. I also check the "build.prop" settings & "camerasize.xml" settings. But nothing worked. For both the front (5.3 MP) and rear camera (13.3 MP) records videos in 640x480 low resolution where as the same camera take photos in 5.5 MP (Front Cam) & 13.3 MP (Rear Cam) resolutions.
But for Android 4.2.2 OS, both the cameras could record videos with 1920x1088 resolution when you choose "Fine" as the video recording mode. I am a beginner level developer. I can not get anything to fix the problems. I reported this to the tab company, they said the firmware company can not fix the problems now. And asked me to use the Android 4.2.2 OS. I have also googled for possible helps with this firmware problems. I found that modifying libcameraservices.so & media_profiles.xml may fix the problems. I found the file "libcameraservices.so" and copied to my PC, opened it with a HEX Editor but am not that expert to correct it. Please help me.
Can the XDA forum experts help me with this miserable problems. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Please help. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thanks & Regards
Those are libraries that are included in the firmware. Those can't be edited with a Hex editor. Not effectively anyway. What I'd suggest instead is to see if you can install Google Camera App.
But if that too does not work, then for you, the only other thing might be going back to 4.2 short of rebuilding the firmware with right libraries.

Thanks for your quickest reply to ma text.
I installed google camera. After getting it installed from the play store. It closes with an error when I try to access the camera settings. I also tried to do a trick by copying the "libcameraservices.so" from the Android 4.2.2 firmware & then copying it over the "libcameraservices.so" Android 4.4.2 firmware. Then I rebooted the phone, but it got stuck in the boot logo never rebooted.
Is there any possibility to correct the parameters of libcameraservices.so (Android 4.4.2 firmware) to fix the error..?? I am not that expert in building a custom ROM yet. Can you please help me out..??
Here is the libcamerservices.so for bot Android 4.4.2 & 4.2.2
Hi,
I am upload the "libcameraservices.so" file that I copied from the both the fimware system files. Is there any expert who can check the difference between these two..?? And correct the parameters so that it is possible to record video in 1920x1088 resolution for Android 4.4.2 OS as well.
Thanks & Regards
Thanks for sharing. But I think you want to post in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting in order for one of the Expert developers to help you.

Hello Perseus,
I have posted there. But I did not get any reply for post yet. Am still waiting and having a belief that, someone can really help me with this from XDA.
I apologize, please see the mission of Assist as mentioned by 2 Stickies on this forum.
The mission of XDA Assist is to provide basic help to those who have tried searching but can't find what they are looking for and need assistance.

Perhaps you can't find posts on how to root your phone, install custom recovery or maybe you have questions about how to navigate and use features on the site.

Hello,
I've got a wiko cink slim B (a french micromax clone).
And I can't get the camera to work with ROMS (others than the stock ROM of course). Whenever I try to use the camera, I got this message "Can't connect to Camera". I tried different applications, but non worked out.
I already did some minor development for Android system, but I need your advice/help on this guys.
What directions should I be looking by to make the camera works ? Can I get a more useful error message (using adb relative stuff) ?
I'm currently running on a MiUi rom, will I have to download and recompile the whole system? If yes, where can I get the source code? Will I need the kernel too, because the kernel provided by my phone company seems to be corrupted. I can't extract it... Maybe I'm doing it wrong, here's where I pick the kernel archive http://wikogeek.com/ . Can someone else try to download the kernel (for the Wiko Cink Slim) and extract it please ?
Well that's a lot of questions .... I'm not hoping to get responses for all of it. But at least, anything related to my problem would be nice.
Thanks for reading.

Got mine today. Amazing phone and very afordable.
ZTE V5 Pro N939St
Love the remarkable hardware and built quality but hate the ZTE software.
Can't wait to find developers who can develop a better ROM for this phone.
A nice and affordable device it deserves its own thread
I'd love to see an official CM rom for this device. CM 12.1 working great but still has a few bugs.
How can we root this device?
Guys please see this thread for updates and mods from this device, until the relevant forum group is created. Root, CM and multilanguage roms are all discussed in this thread. Link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3208231
There are already ways of removing Chinese apps, rooting the phone, installing TWRP and latest V1.35 rom with multilanguage and gapps. As well as installing CM.

Good evening guys and sry for my last post in German I forgot its an English forum. So I got the wiko view xl the new flagship by the French company and everything works stunning fast and looks great. Quality is surprisingly good if I look at the old wiko models. So when I go to WhatsApp set new profile Pic it says no apps can perform this action. Setting it through gallery with set as WhatsApp profile Pic works fine. But why doesn't it work directly through WhatsApp? I've downloaded the latest version of WhatsApp and I'm running on a custom wiko build android 7.1.2. I know this is a brand new released phone and there's almost no support or any threads about it but maybe someone can help me nevertheless?
Did you find any solution to root this device?

assuming wiko is still cheaping out on the cpu go ahead and unlock the bootloader after that download the stock firmware and search on google for a mtk twrp builder and do your thing or use kingroot but thats bloatware
