hi,

I have been using ICS posted on page no 88 for a week. And few things I found about this ROM....

1. It is real ICS and not themed.

2. I found no real performance improvement.

3. Scrolling is very slow and sticky. In GB it was much much smoother. And than I searched for reasons & found that it is not only A7. ICS have this sticky and slow scrolling both in menus and in browsers.

4. No battery backup improvement.

And phone hangs on lock screen have to remove battery to restart.

It was much better with MIUI ROM with holo launcher. Same menus same UI and good performance.

And plus points of this ROM...

1. It is ICS. And it gives better feel.

2. You can install apps that supports ICS minimum like Holo launcher HD.

3. A lot more setting options.

4. New kernel.

5. All the features and sensors, gps, wifi, bluetooth, camera all working fine.

5. And unknown improvement that I dont know.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
Its for a7 but should work on a5 without camera.

If it stuck at unlock screen after boot plz replace boot.img with f8 rom

Bro using tht rom only tht ics i gave ? O.0 upgraded baseband ????
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GuneetAtwal:
ics rom has upgraded the overall performance of the phone because of updated kernel and other stuff and baseband updation does not affect the performance it is just for the radio signal reception of the mob.

You can try. But I dont think it will help. There might be a problem with your baseband and ROM compatibility.

I had same problem on my A7. Than changed ROM. And it worked. Try other ICS rom.

fine w/e

btw i flashed the baseband acc to the guide but after booting many FCs appear not allowing to use the rom...tried gng to recovery but its stuck at the red screen...

Edit : well flashed the cwm thru fastboot...

Edit 2 :

Hey Mr.A what blue screen r u talking about there??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr..A:
Like the green screen (fastboot:recovery) and red screen (recovery) , if you left your phone open for a few mins after a fail attempt of baseband upgrade or something similar the screen will automatically turn blue (fastboot mode) and in windows device management a new device will show '<Device Name> Android Devices'. Then you can attempt the method I posted to recover from it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ganesh0992:
Oh fail attempt...though i didnt get any blue screen the attempt was fail since i tried both the versions of baseband GB and ICS and still i dont get the reception in the K touch rom. :(
