Introduction

The goal of this recovery it to secure any action you could do with your liquid. You can root your phone, install busybox (including in latest available bin), flash rom, backup/restore use move apps to sdcard or to phone, wipe data and other, and a lot of other features.

It it always safer to perform an opeartion in recovery mode rather than in nomal mode as filesystem is not used and operation can be done saftly

It is compatible with any acer liquid rom. ( 1.6 or 2.1 ), including the last bin file
