Above ROM is for the Karbonn A7. But due to the similarities of the handsets can be used here.

All at your own RISK

Apart from you , we dont seem to have any craze mi355 user.

Its a thumb rule that you are suppose to backup your current ROM before ROM flashing,

Also, your review was helpful.

Alternatively, you can try the ROM's posted for A7 on your mobile for a change.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
i know but how could backup with stock recovery?

but as i said there are lot more sources have chance to provide us ics therefore no use of working on a rom which no one is gonna use.but ply give a try to miui
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jaydev6681:
dude,just wait...he is trying to port ics for our phones...so plz wait for ics release...plz download miui rom from given link n use it...:screwy:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
Bad news guyz

I downloaded ics stock rom of mi 425

But it is almost impossible to port coz spice has used newer baseband this time.

Also we dont have compiled kernel for ics.

And honestly when it comes to compile a kernel m helpless.

I cant even unpack and pack kernel.

User who suggested. Me to port ics from w619 i would say port your self.

I can provide minimum 30 custom roms for u guyz but i dont want u guyz to taste worst experience on android. Coz i dont share or recomend untested roms.

So if u want u can download roms from chinese forums or use miui which i posted or wait for official. Ics update

How to root Spice mi 355

I bought htis mobile spice mi355 today, please someone tell me how to root it safely.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
No its not possible neither by flashing rom nor by different dialer

And listen to me carefully android does not support native video calling. Though there are some exceptions like mi280 supports native video calling. Android belongs to google. And they earn a lot if we use skype fring tango and call using our data plan this is why android doesnt support native video calling. And also only few devices support in only few countries like in usa no native videocalling in india., china and europe and there might be some countries too where native video calling works.

So dont think about using your brain and tweaking and customizing your phone to make native video call. Its useless.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jabirm2k6:
I was using Micromax A75 and it supports native video call. I think it might be possible if we get the kernel sources from spice or by other means.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] souravmohuri:
Working!

Yes I have sucessfully flashed ics on mi-355.

But I stuck on single issue. The Camera!

camera is not working,

Everything is OK.

Another thing, this ROM does not come with Google applications, like map, nevigations.

So I have installed them using Gapps.zip. Download the zip file from the following link and flash it through CWM.

Link: htt p://ww w. mediafire. com/download.php?mbkxvnbbydbvoc8

And also I does not comes with Google Play store.

So you need to download it first. Google vending.apk.

Download it. Place it in /system/app folder using Root Explorer (you need to install "root explorer" first) and then install it.

Set its permission as other .apks have. Then install it. It will definitely work.

I am struggling to work camera.

Anyone have any method known to solve it.

I think its a hardware problem rather.

Can anyone drop light in this issue?

Arjun can you?

Do I need to edit anything to make it working?

Else this is a fantastic rom. And I am using it.

Its pre-rooted (su, busybox latest version)!

Well installing It will change boot screen and boot animation.

If you wish unzip the ics rom, now replace the /system/fonts with any Rom's font folder and also replace build.prop with my modified build.prop to have default font and language english and some minor issues like IST. I have not edited the device name in build.prop.

Link: htt p://ww w. mediafire. com/?839bwcf1ak9s248

Now its your own choice whether to use it or not.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
I can 100% make your camera working. And all other problems u facing.

I can make a very beautiful rom from the rom you downloaded.

And it would be not difficult to get cm9 and miui 4 roms on our device if the ics rom u are talking about is original ics.

Can u plz upload screenshots.

And also plz install nova launcher, apex launcher google chrome to make sure that its orignal ics.

And can u plz tell us that did u tried face unlock?

Plz upload screenshots of messaging., contacts, setting menu, browser, and about menu.
