I Agree this is one of the best phones in market and at this price its just amazing........had done a lot of r& d before purchasing hence i feel a rite decission,

The touch is just flawless man..... i felt slow as when i use an app like whats app and just come out of a chat it usually had a blanck scree for 2 sec and the the icons come... and same when i press the home screen the screen come but the icons apper 2 sec later.

There was more lag when i used an live wall paper and the wall paper took almost 5 sec to come hence i feel a bit lag..... my nokia e63 used to also lag but the reason posting here is to find out for a soloution.......[/QUOTE]

The lag is because of the apps runing in back ground use the free ram optimizer by netquin

As fr whts app the lag was seen in samsung galaxy too this phone has abetter ram and a better processor this app used to hang my cousins samsung so its a app. Problem ithink i use a iphone 4 the spice is used by my father so icant tell u the exat reason

More info

friends welcome to Spice MI 350

here are some pieces of information to share

1 the chip set of our spice MI 350 is from mediatek corporation which is in china and it is a major vendor in china. the original manufacturer of this phone is Lenovo ( the same company which is selling lenovo laptops)

2 the chip set is MT6573 which is clocked to 670 Mhz but somehow lenovo and spice both says that it is 650 Mhz. any way the processor is not bad at all in fact even xperia w8 and my other love HTC wildfire were clocked to 600 Mhz and 528 Mhz respectively.

3 the bloatware of spice is simply killing RAM and ROM. i would strongly advice everyone to kindly root your phone and use titanium backup and remove all the unnecessary crap apps.

4 you will notice the lag of launcher, it is because every time when you hit home button, the launcher restart itself and build icons of the widgets and apps again and again. to remove this problem don't use unnecessary widgets

5 the major compromise is RAM which is just 256 mb and more often than not is really not sufficient enough .

6 Camera is just average since it lacks auto focus so bar code scanner apps are not working properly; Red Laser is an app which works partially sometimes .

7 please share your apps which you think are working properly and meanwhile we will try to create sub forum for lenovo A60 which will automatically cover spice MI 350

8 for those who are concerned with battery , my advice is root your phone as reported in chinese and russian forums and even my own conclusion the battery is above average. simply goes for 2 days easily.

please share your thoughts here so that we can make this device better .

regards

ankjain

PS you can also pm me for any specific need or question.

Request

Dear,

I too brought Spice Mi-350 yesterday.

This is my first android device.

There were lot of annoying app pre installed.

And when searched i came across this site and your post.

You have mentioned that you were able to successfully root your mobile.

I checked out the web page links posted above, even went through the Russian site. But i am little afraid of the task, since the uploaded files could be

1. older version than what is installed.

2. could change the network and language to their location.

3. AND I COULD BRICK MY PHONE!?

Hence can you kindly help me about the

1. steps you followed to do so.

2. the resources to complete this task.

3. What will this change in my phone?

4. What will i loose and gain?

5. what should i be careful about?

Also please clarify the above mentioned three doubts.

Thanks in advance.

:)

Actually Mohan provided a link for lenovo 2.3.5 ROM, but this ROM cant identify many networks except Airtel 2G. Spice stock ROM is best among all other custom ROMs which were not stable. To remove unwanted bloatwares use rootuninstaller app to uninstall sytem apps. We also can take a backup of these app, freeze and defreeze, better wait for Cynogenmod or for ICS port. I think cynogen is working on the porting the ROM. It will in our hands soon

enabling data in roaming

I think you have ported the second airtel number from another network. This is common issue in ported airtel sims. It will show roaming symbol; by enabling data on roaming radio button. The problem will be solved and no extra charge for roaming will be charged. It is also common on networks using other network towers

can anyone finally tell which rom is better custom rom by mohan or leveno rom.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashokjagan:
Comparison Between two available ROMs

The two available ROMs:

1. Mohanparvathams moded ROM version 2.3.5

2.Lenovo Stock ROM recently upgraded version 2.3.5

On a whole both of them looks same except in few aspects.

Features of Mohan's moded ROM:( thanks for Mohan for his hard work)

Pre Rooted(No need of root it again)

Google services included

Latest Market included

Video Wallpaper(You can set videos as wallpapers)

Lock screen Changed

FM radio with RDS

MobileUncle tools included(Useful for recovery)

ICS key board included.

what were not working in this ROM:( Disadvantages)

1. lenovo stock backup and restore app not included. So those who backed up the messages, call register, apps and contacts will not able to restore them.

2.rootUncle.apk not visible

re.apk not visible

filebrowser.apk not visible

FM with RDS not working (thanks to Dharam)

Advantages:

1. can be flashed from recovery no need for system and these head aches

2. Pre rooted

3. fast and almost stable.

4. no extra bloatwares.

5. Included Video wallpaper

6. latest market

7. FM with RDS included.

8. New lock screen

2. Stock ROM from lenovo(version 2.3.5):

What were not working: (disadvantages):

1. Not rooted

2. Cant be flashed from recovery( system is needed to Install this ROM)

3. no video wallpaper.

4.Take some extra time to install.

Advanteges:

1. Stock ROM

2. More stable

3. Improved battery life( I personally realized it)

4. Firmware with google apps only no extra bloatwares.

5. English language support.

6. fast

7. Go key board for lenovo included

From my point of view both ROMs, looks same in case of speed, but Mohan's ROM scores in look(new lock screen)

but overall according to my view the stock ROM is best and more stable. root is only problem that too is not big one because rooting easy for spice mi350, it is not a painfull long process as in NAND S-On locked HTC devices.

Happy enjoying the new ROM,

please feel free to ask doubts on installing the two ROMs.

Backup and restore NVRAM

To cut short a big story, in computer world NV RAM actually means backing up user settings to restore it after upgrading of new firmware.

In Android that too in Chinese dual mobiles, flashing and upgrading to new firmware will wipe all data including IMEI numbers and will install new generated IMEI(check whether your IMEI now is same one as it is before at time of purchase),

This option backup and restore NVRAM, will backup your IMEI and restore it back into your new firmware. You must check this option compulsarily otherwise there is a chance the phone will be unusable. Check the below link

so after 2 months and 24 pages on this forum i am resonably satisfied with this phone - thanks to ankit, mohan and ashok.

rooting has eliminated most of the annoyances which were included with the spice rom. other than the few preinstalled apps. and a little bit of over optimization, i think that spice has done a good job of assembling the ROM.

i have only one issue which is i think the side effect of having a dual sim. if i have a data connection active on SIM 2, phones from SIM 1 are rejected. i know that the workaround to this is to have Call forwarding on SIM 1 to SIM 2 but that would invaliate the reason for my getting a dual SIM phone. as the call forwarded would be charged on my SIM 1.

is there any way to make the Calls from both the SIMS take priority over data connection. i think i remember reading that there is a possibility that there are in fact two seperate radio modules for the two sims.

other than that i think it is a fantastic phone at this price and all the people who have contributed on this thread deserve a big THANK YOU
