yes it would definitely work. But camera would not work.

Here members are trying to resolve this problem.

You can follow my tutorial or you can go with prasad's tutorial.

First try Prrasad's MBS s01 ics rom. In this Rom your camera would work but most of the sensors would not.

Try the camera in the following link

It works for most of the ICS based handhelds

I don't mind if the camera doesnt works but I need the sensors, so does the sensors work in the jelly bean rom?

Can I update my a7 with ur ICS ROM?

And when you fix the sensors bug?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sinnerz2000:
You can try the jelly bean rom since sensors not working on the ics rom

But JB ROM is for A5? Am I right?

no you can not backup your gb baseband. You will need to downgradevthe baseband whenever you want. Follow the same procedure as you required to update baseband. Only you need to use baseband folder for gb as i mentioned in my guide. Just read it.

your responce is highly appriciated.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coolprateek.kumar:
Why do you need to update baseband...as far as i have heard it's automatically updated by installing new rom
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
Baseban does not updatea by rom .

Baseband is basically radio ( cellular network)

install superoneclick software and from there you can install drivers or install moborobo it will automatically install all the drivers

Karbonn A5(K-touch w619) Driver Installation In-depth Video Tutorial

Karbonn A5(K-touch w619) Driver Installation In-depth Video Tutorial

​

Hey after reading a lot and understanding the instructions i successfully rooted my karbonn a5, backed up original rom, then rooted it and many more.

But the process was not that easy(as the instruction were google translated from chinese and were a bit confusing).. I had to use multiple drivers from various links (Provided in this thread itself)

So i made a simple video on how to successfully install all the Drivers for Karbonn a5(K-touch w619 - day language/small wasp) required for rooting and other stuff

The video uses a driver package which i combined from various drivers provided in this thread (Full credit goes to the original provider :) )

Also the video shows

the drivers are installed with a yellow Exclamatory m[/B]ark but that is just fine .. it works as it is intended to be

Someone has formed new thread with A5 and A7 with ROMS posted there.

I request all members not to do so.

Keep all in one thread as one issue has many solutions and followup which makes work easier.

If users find those two threads better than this, they have their choice I will shut down this thread and close A5 & A7 ROM development.

By 00:00 hrs tonight this thread closes if I dont get definative answers.

rjunraj is the only person who doesnt need permission to post in Spice Craze thread as he is there in the development from the very beginning. As it is Craze thread also belongs to me.

Need feed backs

Dear All A5 & A7 members:

I require proper detailed feedbacks of the ROM usage,

eg. After flashing new ROM, earlier how was the ROM functioning, etc.etc.

New ROMS for A5 have already been posted, need people to provide detailed issues and problems using these ROM's upon which suitable changes will be made.

This thread is half dead, people download ROM's Use ROM's, but dont comment on it or share its statistics.

How can we improve in such way? A5 has so many ROM's, no details on it.

A7 MIUI /ICS/ JB ROMS arent posted cause of this negligence, as how these ROMS work in A5 can result the outcome on A7. A7 is bit advanced need to make according changes and code transmissions.

If possible provide your issues, feedback's and current problems which can be rectified.
