You seem to have a newer baseband... but i don't know wether it will work for karbonn A5 800mhz :\

Someone atleast provide the stock GB baseband for karbonn A5 or explain how to do a backup....

so if we later decide to switch back to GB... we can downgrade the base band to Stock Baseband.. and not a baseband which is lower thatn the stock one (assumin the higher numbering indicates higher version)

Also where is the baseband info on karbonn A5?? (not the *#36# method)

hey gps not working on f8 orignal ics plz help meeee
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
sorry i dint checked it cuz i always keep gps off.

you can replace gps.default.so from stock to f8 ics .

you will find it in system/lib/hw.

don't extract either base ROM or f8 ROM just drag and drop

then flash the ROM and let me know if gps works or not

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
i mean open both roms in winrar and then drag from f8 ROM to ics s01 rom.

use gimp or Photoshop to modify the framework files.

whatever change you would like to do in the theme you would find the png and .9.png files in framework apk and system ui apk.

if you just want to make it transparent then there is a thread on xda about how to make any ROM transparent

FOR: KARBONN A5 (K-Touch w619) Users

Do not update Baseband

​

+I would suggest every karbonn A5(and mi-355) user not to update their baseband(just yet) for ICS..

+The GB Baseband found online and in the spice mi-355 thread is (presumably) lower than that the stock GB baseband already installed on your Karbonn A5

+So unless and until it is confirmed that the GB baseband in the spice mi-355 thread is actually a newer baseband than the Karbonn A5 Stock Installed GB Baseband or until actually a newer than the stock baseband is found or a way is found to backup the stock baseband, I would suggest you all to just hold your horses for a while and not update their baseband

+If you are going to stick to ICS then well and good... but what if you want to go back to GB?? Get my point? for going back to GB you don't have a Stock Baseband and the one you have is (presumably) of lower version than the stock baseband installed

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Any one who has info on how to backup baseband or have a newer/Stock Baseband are very welcome to share it!

i edited the stock rom of A5 and added root support in it from the rooted a7 rom. and this rom is working ok but the problem is it is not the walton rom, it is a5 rom. So bangla font support is missing.

if you have the "walton" rom backed up using cwm, please send it to me, i'll edit it and add root support. after root, you can using link2sd and other root required app without any problem i hope.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
as per my knowledge .

we cant take backup of our baseband .

baseband is not a part of rom,os,or system it is signal reciever

baseband can be only provided by manufacturer .

and spice or karbonn will not provide for sure if they will need to flash baseband they would call us to the service centers but not provide the baseband.

so we have only option remained is to go for basebands provided by chinese sites

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vikas_toad:
I know he has provided the baseband for GB which is 591316_8376_WCDMA_V3025

Where as the stock baseband on Karbonn A5 is 591331_8376_WCDMA_V3034

(Check by dialling *#36# then version info and then bp version)

so that means the baseband for gb linked by souravkumar is older than the stock GB baseband..

Also, what was your default GB Baseband before you updated?

very happy to see that 60 users viewed the ics update tutorial.

we have got original ics without the official update and that's a very very big achievement.

some of you don't understand the value of this as they haven't seen people struggling and messing here and there to get ics , and the frustration when they fail one but one.

many users are still not able to gain root access and it's a same.

is it fair that i am getting so much personal messages to provide the link for x file for y file and for z file.

should i send each and every link to every one by sending pm ?

i love to help you guyz but it is reallly not fair to just sit and ask blindly.

you can pm me only when you find that your questions are not being answered by anyone.

to make the developement faster i have decided to chat with you instantly on gtalk.

Hey everyone....

my indepth video tutorial to update baseband and upgrade to ics is on its way....

I have installed it and am also testing the ROM and the baseband

so far the baseband has no problems but the F8 ICS rom does have some problems (but those aren't very big)

to make the tutorial ill have to reflash the baseband and the rom ..but by doing so,,

all the data would be lost and since diwali tommorow(and my birthday today :o :D) i would like to maintain the data and the contacts

as i cannot backup and restore the contacts (one of the issues in f8 ICS rom)..

so please wait for a couple of days more... for the full indepth video tutorial + review of the roms so you all know what works and what doesn't and hence decide better wether you want to upgrade or no.

Happy Diwali Everyone!

i dont think so that i will underlock your phone it will not work on your phone as overlocking and underlocking depends upon kernel
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sinnerz2000:
So when a5 users apply the ics rom they'll be running on 1ghz and when spice users apply the rom they'll be 800mhz?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Clock speed depends on kernel.

If you apply any A7 ROMS by default they will work on 1ghz for A7+ as kernel for GB isnt tweaked, it will take the highest speed.

I havnt tested any for A7+

Dude nice find, is it tested?

Share it via encrypted link

A5 is 800 Mhz by default. Overclocking is good at times but not for long run. It might damage the:

1. Battery

2. Board / Cpu

If overclocking your device you see its getting extra HOT, underclock, switch off, let it cool. Then start.

This is just an advice.

But if you underclock you can increase standby time. But extreme underclock will result in reboot.

For more Mhz Ghz related info Wiki it. :silly:
