Acer Stream, also known as Acer Liquid Stream, is an Android smartphone launched back in the year 2010 and runs the Android 2.1 Eclair as its operating system. Eventually, the device got an update to Android 2.2 Froyo and that was the only update it got ever since it was launched. If you look at the hardware side, it’s got a 1GHz processor backed by 512MB of RAM, has a 3.7″ inch screen and a 5MP camera on the back. If you happen to own this device and want to unlock its true potential, then you’ll want to root your device. Rooting will open-up doors for the root-only apps and eventually a custom recovery. Here’s how you can root your Acer Stream smartphone.
