How to upgrade Android 2.2 Froyo on Acer Liquid E

I've had to upgrade the version of Android pre-installed on thisbeautiful smartphone to solve some limitations of Android 2.1Eclair.

In particular, the fact that you can not move downloaded applications from the phone's internal memory to memory card.

In addition to this convenient feature, there are a number of improvements that I am not here to enumerate, but the improvements are a lot of ...

The upgrade procedure is very simple for anyone even who is not an expert:

1. go to the download section of the Acer site.

2. smartphone -> liquid -> Liquid E.

3. select as Android OS 2.2 Froyo.

4. go to the OS tab and download the latest version by looking at the date.

5. extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file.

6. Make sure your smartphone is not connected to the computer.

7. Double-click the setup.exe file. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the updated software on your computer.After the installation is complete, the Software Upgrade Utility will start automatically.

8. Connect your smartphone to your computer using the USB sync cable. Once the smartphone has been detected, the software currently installed on the phone will be displayed in the Software Upgrade Utility. Click Next to begin the update.

9. When the installation is complete, click Finish and disconnect the phone from your PC.

Before you start upgrading, the software warns that the data will be overwritten on the phone and then you lose contacts and appointments, and various software installed. To me this is not happened, after upgrading all the numbers the appointments were ok, however, make a backup before updating the phone is a good idea.

How to install Vista Sidebar on Windows XP

What beautiful windows Vista Sidebar! Want it too ...On XP!

You can do it... and in many ways! See some:

-- The Google Sidebar (here is a page of explanation, link 'features')
-- Yahoo Widget
-- DesktopSidebar

Personally, I try all 3 and I must say that the most graphically appealing are the Yahoo widget, that is really similar to Mac OS, even if I found them not very practical.

The solution proposed by Google resembles more to the concept of Vista Sidebar and has several gadgets but the graphic are weak and decisively not beatuful.

DesktopSidebar (in my view) is the best compromise between quality and design, at the end I choose this one and held only 5 panels (weather, images slideshow, stock market quotes, news and Quick Launch menu) and uninstalled others.
