Ok, so for whatever reason you don't have access to a computer or you forgot your usb cable, like I did.
Here is how you root with just your phone.
Download Astro Filemanager from the market.
Open Astro and goto, menu > more > preferences, scroll down to the helper apps section at the bottom. Check "Enable Browser Download".
Open up the browser and download this file (QR-Codes at the bottom)
http://www.mediafire.com/?98jdjo9q2tdewxv
Mirrors:
http://www.multiupload.com/A5M3LWN7FY
Open up Astro, browse to /sdcard/downloads, move update.zip to /sdcard
Power off your phone, enter recovery mode (vol keys + power)
select "reinstall packages"
reboot, enjoy root
Once you are done with this you can grab the rom manager from the market, install a custom recovery and restore your nandroid backup. Worked great for me!

Download the file with an alternate browser such as XScope. It will download to your sdcard/xscope/downloads directory. Hope that helps. Stock browsers have issues sometimes downloading zip files.
Seems to have worked for me...
-e
i managed to dl the file but i get an error when i try to install it recovery mode that says its bad. I used the second link as it works for dolphin. i guess ill have to DL this Xscope and see if it lets me DL from the first link and give that a go
Edit: i managed to DL the first file with the default browser but when i tried to install it i got the same error saying the file is bad
The file in the first link is 90kb and the one in the second is 6kb. Is one of these files the right size or is the DL bad
Edit: My last question was retarded. Its supposed to be 633kb. dont know why its only DLin part of the file
Final Edit: Got it to DL poperly with Xscope. Thanks

Ok i got Hulu working on my Thunderbolt by following these steps.
1. Download Flash 10.2 on your phone, make sure its set to not auto update
2. Download http://www.mediafire.com/file/en3tj77er9ucrqp/libflashplayer.so
3. Use Root Explorer or ADB to put the file in: /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
4. If it asks if you want to overwrite the file chose yes, i know it will if you use root explorer, not sure about adb cause i didnt use it.
Hope you all enjoy!

i also added this... be sure to change the file extention on that download file from .txt to .so and your user agent(in browser settings) is set to desktop.
enjoy!

Didn't try it yet, but if you guys don't want to pay for Root Explorer you can easily use Super Manager. Enable root in settings and it will ask you if you want to R/W or R/O when you go into directories that require root.
Tried it on my wife's Vibrant and I got it to work in Dolphin, but not through the App. It was a bit laggy, though, on the Vibrant in the browser.
Going to try my phone now.
edit - rebooted her phone and tried again (browser and the app) and they both say it's not supported now.

Hello, all
I just flashed my 1 week old Acer A500 with a light rom. Now, I am trying to install all the apps I like.
One of my favorite apps is LumiRead. I can't find it anywhere in the market. So, I think this is a stock app for acer. I know there are other readers out there. However, I read LOTS of text files in foreign languages. I tried all different kinds of readers the whole morning. I just couldn't find one with 2 page view, easily change font size, and large book cover at the main page.
For you smart ROM developers, is it possible to extract this LumiRead from the stock ROM. If I don't have LumiRead, I may have to go back to the stock ROM. I don't want that, because it is just slloooooow.
Thanks everyone!!
Here ya go!
awesome-ness!!! You are the BEST!
Oh no. I just tried to install it. It tried to install, then, it says, "X(red x) Application not installed." nooooooo

You have root correct?
If so, try copying both files to system/app reboot, and if necessary reinstall
Hum, I assume it is rooted, because it is a custom ROM. This is the ROM I installed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188253.
I tried to use gingerbreak to root it, but it just sitting there, loading...
I tried to copy the lumi files to system/root. it says it failed to copy.

Umm it was system/app, not root. Set root explorer to r/w before pasting.
Over and out.
if you want to try this, I have installed without problems on a acer liquid and on my a501 with taboonay 2.2
Thanks for the quick reply!
It does not work. Root Explorer got the files copied over, still fail to install.
THANKS, tresed. IT WORKS!!
ahhh... nevermind... it installed... but when i try to open it...
The application LumiRead (process com.decomedia.android.acer.monet) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

why not try taboonay
ahhh, i wonder if it is the rom's fault....
I don't mind trying out taboonay. all i want is to run a little faster.
which taboonay to try? sorry, I am new to this.
if you have not installed many applications and does not have important data. test with a wipe data and reinstal the apk
taboonay is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138051
Btw, you can find this app in Androonay Kitchen
You just need to be register.
I was looking for LumiRead also, as I had a bunch of books in it when I changed roms. However, after having a hard time finding it I downloaded Aldiko, which I used once before. It's a great alternative and it's more logical to use. Maybe try that one out, too - you might like it.

Auto update with wifi on combined with cm7 hboot causes a restart if you have much apps that is going to be updated. Probably because of high data write velocity and small cache.
