To developers

Hi and hello to all developers like Prasad,phonehacker,....(and many other,I am new to android and this forum)

I want to ask that can you (developers) make A9's ICS ROM from the Steller's ICS ROM ?

(i am asking you because somewhere i read that both have same kernel)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vishwasnp:
Thats a great Idea ! but problem is this phone is not available around the world and not so popular, so it means not many people are working on customizing this phone, and most here are Indians as the phone is available in India mostly and selling well, which means the phone has limited reach in this forum

Also With relatively less people , the number of people doing R&D is also less. also since this work is done by enthusiasts who do it purely as a hobby or interest. driven by only passion. results cannot come out soon and fast. It is not like that are Paid for it :D

But then we do have a good number of Tech Wizards here , We all are waiting for a first custom ROM called JETMOD for Karbonn a9 anytime soon ,brought by our own TechWiz Varun Chitre and tested by Zeyaan :)

But a ICS rom if started from scratch needs a good amount of work and needs time, so we need to be patient :D

To derive a ROM from Stellar, ICS is still yet to come for it , If I am right, so things can start moving only when that happens

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
I agree A18 rocks in terms of looks as well as specs

1.2 GHZ ,1 GB RAM, 4.3" screen, ICS, just for 11k cant beat this one

Even this phone is impressive for 11k FLY

Hey , are any of you guys Using 3G on your A9 ? I had got a 3G instead of existing GPRS plan activated and then went to Settings > Wireless& Networks > Mobile Networks > Subscription 1 > and set Network Mode to WCDMA

But on doing this, the network disconnected ! forget 3G, I could not make calls , On selecting back GSM/WCDMA , GPRS is available only :(

Is there anything else I need to do ? , the Carrier is AIRTEL , and access point is Mobile Office
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abhi7395:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lvgandhi:
I am using airtel 3g in my A9 with out any problem.

First put your sim in slot 1. ie that is the slot between card slot another sim slot.

Subscribe for 3g with provider

Then swipe from top to bottom to get top slidable menu. it has data icon. Just press to enable it. It will turn green and there will be gap created between sim indicators with a letter H and and an icon. This indicates you are in 3G.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr.T_shaggy:
Check out the APN for 3G it may differe then you regular 2G APN............keep your settings to GSM/WCDMA as you are using AIRTEL which provides GSM service.....

hey guys sorry for the late reply and guess what...i bought the Sony Xperia U (dad finally agreed to buy a SONY instead of KARBONN!! price:15.2K)

And the phone is awesome! Stunning display (VERY crisp due to 260ppi and BRAVIA engine)! Extremely fast gaming (thanx to the dual core processor)! Awesome 3D camera!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
no doubt its dual core processor mob

nice looks and stunning

but sorry to add 3.5 inch screen (state) didn't look good enough to small

no expandible memory sad,

15k seems too much,

LG optimus l5, has ics on board with 2gb internal with expandible mem, price 12k

don't wanna disappoint you, but just my peice if thought
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thespacedude:
---

Hmm okay the phone you stated wins only in the screen size (and the microSD but guess what? Xperia U's 4GB internal and 4GB user-available is enough for me! it has total 8GB. ). Also LG has ICS but even Xperia U will get ICS by the end of August. So no problem there.

The rest of LG phone's specs are total sh!t...I mean 800MHZ and crap GPU, no HD recording, below 150ppi (which means high pixelation :crying:....)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
its a budget mob what can one expect

there's no mob at that price range with ICS

besides that much cpu & gpu is enough to run asphalt :)

1350 mah battery is a bit low, you do get a1500 mah battery for Sony U check out

but Sony should have provided atleast expandible mem, add so much power the Mob has is wasted. if you instal nova 3 all the storage is full :( . btw there's one good thing for you. you can use USB OTG if you have the cable ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thespacedude:
yeah I've got the cable! :)

Anyway i wasnt going to buy extra memory card, so good they provided 4GB internal free. And NOVA and all games are costly so i'm not going to put it lol (poor me :( ......)

btw MOTOROLA DEFY PLUS is also a good choice for 12K!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
defy its bulky

but it has cm7 support :)

but motorola has bad customer support :P

one more thing, to flash a custom ROM one needs memory slot ;)

also we can get nova 3 for free if we want ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] abhi7395:
upcoming Karbonn smart series mobiles have great specifications than your thought...

Xperia U : 1 GHz dual core

I See no reason comparing it with ACE or Ace+.. They are Good at their own species of the price range!!!

No offense!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Good Specs??

Seriously??

Another Samsung fanboy ...

Atleast Karbonn has the balls to give something pocket friendly rather than overpriced Samsung plastic toys. :P

Karbonn & Spice has used processors which are used in HTC, Sony incase you dont know. Wiki peda it ;)

Even if its a china rebrand , what matters in the end is how much you pay? afterall its you who is going to use this mob.

Now almost all who use these phones are happy,

While my friends with Ace And Ace + have this to say:

1. phone reboots constantly

2. Its slow now

3. i turn on whats app battery drain is high

4. I cant play HD video

5. I cant play HD games

6. MY memory is full

Guess what ACE+ lacks proximity sensor and a low res screen 320 x 480 pixels, 3.65 inches (~158 ppi pixel density) 15k !! seriously????

:P

activity phone (in process android.process.acore) is not responding

First I'd like to thank all the great developers in here including the famous Fonehacker, three cheers to your great work in solving the niggling root problem on the Karbonn A9 :good:

I purchased my beautiful new Karbonn A9 in June for my birthday. The phone was an absolute dream for that price and I fell in love with it at first sight.

The bloatware was irritating at times, and the other common issues with the proximity sensor, data connection not resuming without a reboot hardly diminished my love for it.

Then I started wanting more. I wanted to root my phone. I knew it was a big step to take, and since I'm a complete noob on the android scene (my first android phone) I decided to visit the root forum. After several hours of reading and educating my process (thanks guys, you made the job so easy!)

I decided to take the plunge.

Heres what I did today morning:

1. I downloaded Kinghackers package and Fonehackers rooting kit. Installed all the drivers on tether and fastboot (google usb id) using device manager.

2. Using AIO, i fastbooted and tried the flash with Kinghackers recovery img, but the Flashing took so long and it looked like nothing was happening so I stopped it.

3. I then went to the rooting kit and used root.bat, then pulled out the battery and went into recovery, got the redscreen, faded screen, perfect!

4. My phone was sucessfully rooted!

5. I downloaded titanium backup, installed and did a backup, then I installed superuser using Titanium backups update.

6. I was so excited about my phone being rooted that I googled more root apps. Installed cpu tuner and system tuner.

7. I didnt do any major tweaks, just played around with the settings by changing profiles.

8. Everything was working fine.

9. Today evening I was switching between home screens ( i use Go launcher) the phone just turn off by itself. (saw the boot animation)

10. The phone would not even turn on!

11. I pulled out the battery, replaced and tried again, and it rebooted. It went to the lock screen but the touch was NOT functioning, and i couldnt unlock it.

12. The screen seemed dead, just displaying the lock screen. Although the network was detected, got a message notification etc.

13. I decided it was time to panic! ;)

14. Went back to this forum and followed the second method of unrooting, followed all the steps correctly. It went perfectly.

15. The issue persists. Lockscreen with touch not functioning at all.

16. I decided to call the phone from a different number to check if the phone actually works, and it got the call!

17. I was able to now slide the green button and pick up the call, so the touch actually works!!

18. But i get the message :

"activity phone (in process android.process.acore) is not responding

Force close, wait"

19. I tried all the buttons, but nothing else works. Only speaker, dialpad.

Please help me!!! Thanks in advance guys. What do I do?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] newclearfactory:
activity phone (in process android.process.acore) is not responding Force close, wait

sorry this was a duplicate post, im panicking like hell right now!! :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] newclearfactory:
Issue Resolved!

Hey guys,

whohoo, i fixed it myself. I followed the second method again, and went into recovery, and did a factory reset.

Its a good thing I did a titanium backup, so I'm going to re-root and install TiB, and apply the restore! :)

Anyway, I/m having trouble installing the drivers. The adb drivers dont seem to even appear in device manager.

I installed the certificates as instructed and rebooted the comp but it doesnt seem to work anyway.

The usb driver seems to be the only detected one, and the modem drivers, but no luck on the adb drivers.

I also have a question on custom roms, how do I go about the process, can I use any of them available on the internet, and will CWM stay on the phone when i do a custom rom flash?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kinghacker:
I think custom roms for A9 are not available yet. CWM will not stay on phone cauz there is setting that on reboot the original recovery will be back. I posted backed up recovery from my A9 on my thread. Try it the way I given in 1st post on my thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] newclearfactory:
Sure, I will, thanks for the reply.

The thing is, after my last incident, I'd like to backup the current rom using nandroid or clockwork recovery, but in clockwork, I cant find the phone model in the list. Is there anyway at all we can backup the phone at present?

Can you also tell me all the apps I can uninstall from the phone? The ones that came pre-installed on the phone?

Thanks man
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kinghacker:
Just flash the new recovery then go to recovery mode then look for option "backup & restore" then backup it man. And u can remove apps like just dial, toi, et, office suite(this came with unroot stock rom).
