A5 ROM (Page 14) test results

Yes I cleared the cache and also did a factory reset right after installation before reboot.

Process:

1. Installed USB drivers - not all worked directly. With USB tethering enabled (tethering drivers auto-installed by win7 probably coz I already use a WM6.1 phone) one of the set of drivers worked - recognizing my device as K-Touch ADB Device. With USB tethering disabled at device, the modem, GPS, etc were detected along with Android ADB device using your A7 set of drivers. Also, there, I had to first import the certificates and put my windows kernel in test mode (I hope we can get signed drivers so that test mode is not required). Also there was a lot of confusion between various set of drivers provided, so I just tried all of them one-by-one and got it working in the end.

2. Installed CWM, took a backup.

3. copied the last posted stable ICS ROM to SD card by mounting the USB mass storage in CWM.

4. Install from zip in CWM

5. deleted cache, factory reset from within CWM

6. reboot

Observation: K-Touch logo appears, fades into white (as if some problem the style of fading isn't a programmed one but more like a problem), then screen turns black/gray(blank with no display), only capacitive hardware buttons' LEDs glowing. Waited for a few minutes in case just a boot animation was missing. No response, no way to turn off except battery removal.

Later, I tried other provided ROMs and then tried this again in same way, and got same results. Restored my backup from CWM. However, my boot logo stayed as K-Touch (Karbonn logo wasn't restored).

I would also like to know where you found this ROM. If you are hacking/cooking from another ROM, could you also give me pointers on the same? I'm new to android, but I have cooked my own ROM for Windows Mobile. I'd like to try here too. So, I'd like to know about tools, procedures, etc. and ofcourse about any resources specific to A5 ROMs. If I can get my hands on drivers etc. (or the source of these roms), I would like to try a full recompile myself with some tweaks. What I need is a rooted ICS/JB rom with minimal storage footprint and containing only essentials like apps2sd, google play, etc. Also, I'd like to replace some stock components like the stock dialer and contacts with Touchpal dialer and contacts and so on.

Instructions for all before flashing any ROM-

1.In CWM,wipe data/factory reset

2.wipe cache

3.go in advanced menu and then wipe dalvik cache.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Dude windows is totally a different concept.

Android works on Unix family

Btw , when you first flash a new ROM need to wait for a while for it to boot as it takes some time.

Be patient.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pimyself:
Regarding the wait time, I know it takes time to boot.. I said I waited for few minutes.. means about 5 minutes or so, while other roms boot within a minute or two. I didn't try clearing the dalvik cache last time, which I shall do after getting home this evening.. I hope that makes it work.

And yes, I know the difference between windows, windows mobile, desktop linux and android. I've been working/developing on various kinds of systems (except android) for many years. What I meant was that I have cooked some ROMs for windows mobile by using an existing base ROM, adding and removing packages from it, and modifying settings. Similar to what I believe we do even for android unless compiling from source. Obviously there are differences in architecture, file types etc, but the concept of modifying a rom consisting pre-compiled binaries remains the same. Since windows rom sources aren't available to general public (licensing issues), source-compilation isn't feasible. However, if we can get the proper sources here, it may be possible to do even low-level customizations.

So, what I was asking you is whether you are just providing roms from another place, or cooking them yourself? If cooking, I am looking forward to know the tools and references you are using to cook and study the roms. Or else, if you have only found roms cooked by others' you could point me to the place so that I can try contacting the rom chefs for the same info. Judging from the way you are looking for feedback, I assumed that you are tweaking one of the existing builds yourself and so, you could provide me some info on that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jaydev6681:
prasad is providing ROMs from other places...it is very difficult to make a ROM without having correct knowledge about android(i.e.Linux)...u should know C,C++,Java languages to work on android ROM as it is Linux based...der are very few people who are expert in making ROM...it is a big challenge...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
These ROMs are Chinese based. The fact is to make a successful running ROM you need lots of time, patience, maximum I have done is conversion of these ROM's to english by altering some files. But the worst part is our handhelds are Dual Sim, which makes it even more difficult to make a ROM for these. Most branded mobiles are Single GSM or CDMA based, cause of which the ROM's from other similar spec'ed mobile can be transported. Here almost all are same and all have same version so ICS and JB are a bit tough to find.

Noted the port number and entered it in the Fastboot application.

Set the path in the settings text document and copy the base band contents in that folder and set that path in Fastboot application.

Clicked on Download.

Phone reboots with strange screen.

Unplugged and started in Fastboot(Green) and flashed cwm and flashed the K touch rom.

Rebooted.

Still no reception.

Karbonn A7 ICS Stable ROM part 1

Hi,

I am here attaching ICS ROM for A7. Which I am running. Very stable.

Good.

And this ROM is also customized for better scrolling.

Download

Download

How to flash this ROM.

Update your baseband to v000005

Just extract folder which is named as Date "2012-12-08.13.34.36".

Now put this folder on your SD card in folder as

"/clockworkmod/backup/"

So your path will look like "/clockworkmod/backup/2012-12-08.13.34.36/"

Now boot into recovery mode and select backup and restore. Then go to above path and select restore.

After first boot dont configure and go skipping everything. Then reboot and configure your phone.​

On seeing that many of the A5 users are reverting back to Gingerbread from ICS beacuse of irritation from its bugs(oh these chinese people:mad:)

i decided to upload this ROM as some members like prateek... in the thread wanted a Rom i which plenty of internal memory is there for installing apps.:)

Specifications

1.)Changed the ugly K-Touch boot animation.:laugh:

2.)Added some tweaks.;)

3.)Added superchargerv6 scripts in the Rom to make it a real storm Rom

4.)Preerooted.

5.)Added Google Play store so that u dint have to flash it manually.:)

6.)Default launcher XPERIA home so that your phone works smoothly.

7.)Does not hangs or slow down even on multitasking.

8.)Did'nt changed the splash screen to or Stock one but if you want to change link is in the end.;)

9.)If you want beats audio/x-loud on your A5 the link is there in this post:cyclops:

10.)I think i have covered everything in this post if left something plz do tell that

other than this the battery life is quite impressive and will last one if your an average user and slightly less than a day if you are a hardcore gamer.:rolleyes:
