Android-x86 Honeycomb 3.2 for Acer1825 series – Beta 3 (Acer 1825, 1820, 1425, 1420 and compatible Packard Bell)

January 18, 2012

ICS beta 1 is out please step forward to this release! http://www.ceh-photo.de/blog/?p=464

So it takes some/a lot of time to develop this new build (more like expected like every time), but I tried to put as much as possible into beta3. But I struggled hard with the integration of something like a slider mechanism on a phone, if you change from tablet to laptop mode and vice versa. My goal was automatically disabling/enabling onscreen keyboard and locking screen rotation in laptop mode, but it seems like this is one of these things which are not really well implemented in honeycomb and may a reason why google published that code so late (google sayed some things are really hacked together in honeycomb… and if I compare responsible files in honeycomb and ics there are a lot of changes and commented dead code in honeycomb). So the result is, I got really deep in touch with android internals, but I could not solve the problem and decided to step back and publish my new beta 3 without this feature, because I had already done a lot (see below). Inside the tips and information sections I will try to answer some unanswered questions from comments. read more

So its long time ago that I wrote  something about Android-x86 and my Acer1825 but now I could tell, that I was not lazy in between.

I was working on builds based on the former work for froyo-x86 of arobase (we are still in contact, but he does not own the Acer1825 anymore). read more
