Looking forward to your continued patronage.

Applications

MIUI Camera v1.4.22 for Spice MI 425

MIUI Music v1.4.22 for Spice MI 425

Want someone to test above in their MI 425 and check the output.

(heard its better than the stock :fingers-crossed:)

Cant download from mobile...upload it on mediafire
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbsrailfan:
MIUI Camera now downloading - if you have managed to download, please share on dropbox or mediafire.

MIUI Music gives FC on launch. I have also tried installing MIUI Music from a few other sources but it gives FC everytime I open the music app.

Any music app which has an equalizer results in a crash as soon as you try changing equalizer settings.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ch@ts:
Try ttpod.

It's got an equalizer and a bunch of other great stuff. Works without a hitch on my mi-425.

Buddy, there is a CUSTOM MADE MIUI ROM for this handset also.

3. How much space can one free after rooting the device? 149mb is available to use.

4. Are covers available in the market for it?

5. Is it possible to totally remove the launcher and install a new one similar to Samsung nexus?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:

Considering which dual sim android phone to buy for my wife.

Short listed these phones

1. Spice Stellar MI 425

2. Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos

3. Karbonn A9

4. Samsung Galaxy Y Duos

Spice stellar seems a better buy among the lot. It beats others in Price, battery capacity, front camera, flash led, screen size and performance. Only thing that hinders me is the brand name.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Thanks for your updates guys.

As I mentioned earlier It works as it was made for the K-touch version of this handset.

Now we have a semi-working ROM, devs like phonehacker, kinghacker can make changes in the ROM to work with our continent.

Also MIUI ROM has most things in Chinese ever other Handset its released on, just we need to do some changes in the codes.

Will look out for some thing much easy than this

Use nbimg tool..

You can use nbimg tool to create SPLASH IMAGE and flash that to SPLASH partition in fastboot mode.. There are pretty many tutorials around XDA for this..

I have changed my splash image manually but you can use "Splash_Screen_Creator_v0.03" tool for the same (if you dont have any idea of what to do then use this tool).. :highfive:

Before getting started you should have an BMP image of your choice at 480*800..

hi prabhash,

u can use wi-fi tether for this i'm using same and having no problem except overheating.:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vijsai:
You can do it using portable hotspot

Go to Settings->Wireless and network settings -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> Check WLAN hotspot settings->Configure WLAN Hotspot

Network SSID - any name

Security - WPA2 PSK

Password - give a password

Then Save

Go back to Settings->Wireless and network settings -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> Check WLAN hotspot settings and check the Portable WLAN hotspot (make sure the tick is ON)

Now enable the WLAN on your desktop / laptop and you will see your hotspot (Network SSID) in the wireless network connections. Click on Connect and it will ask for password - give you password mentioned above and you are connected through your phone. Open any site to confirm.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vijsai:
Use USB Thetering instead of hotspot

The below config is for Windows XP (Windows 7 x64 with Intel processor fails to update the driver so is not working for me. if you have AMD processor it might work)

Connect the mobile to your system via USB.

In you mobile, go to Settings -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> Check the USB Tethering (make sure the tick is enabled) and uncheck the WLAN hotspot (if already checked). When asked for the driver for device RNDIS in Windows select it from the tether folder of your MI-425 drivers cd - also attached here as zip file - this driver install must succeed. Windows will show driver installation fail for the Tianyu HSUSB Device - avoid it as it not of worry.

In your Windows XP system, go to Control Panel -> Network Connections

Create New Connection -> Setup a home or small office network -> Next -> Next -> Select This computer connects through a residential gateway or through another computer on my network and hit Next.

Leave computer description blank

Make sure the computer name is same as your computer name and hit Next

Give a workgroup name or leave it as it is and hit Next.

Select Turn off printer sharing and Next -> Next

Select Just finish the wizard … Next and Finish

Restart your Windows XP System. Do not switch off the USB Tethering in your mobile while the system restarts.

After Windows restart go back to Control Panel -> Network Connections, you will see a new network connection may be Local Area Connection 2. You can check the configurations and configure it to show in notification area etc. as required. Right click on the new network connection click on Repair. If you check the Status you will see a 425.9 Mbps speed network connected – that’s your mobile.

Open any site in your browser to test.
