Button Remapper Mod (For centre Button)

This is for A7 only

Root Required:

Step 1: Download http://www.mediafire.com/?948zkh88syo59do

Step 2: Open up, find the search key, click on the window,it will appear with two parameters:

ACTION: The function you want, default is SEARCH, where you select POWER

STATE: If you want keys work even when the screen is off (machine locked), then select WAKE_DROPPED, because I choose POWER, the POWER to work even when locked, so I choose WAKE_DROPPED, if you select the home key such, should be to NONE, if not the press will turn off the screen (in theory, have not tried the HOME key)

Step 3: Reboot

Great work prasad12ka4 !!!! your method worked and i got it rooted finally ..... but while navigating in the menu it shows an annoying error saying

"The application Launcher+ (process com.ty.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" ......plz tell me how to get rid of this ???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Glad I could help

It is the system launcher (default lacher error) i suppose

Try a different launcher

Blue screen of death

I have done all as per your instructions. And waited for 10 minutes. But still the blue screen of death is what I'm getting. Yesterday too I got this result. So it seems Stable rom A7.zip is not for me.

I'll try this ICS ROM for A7 and will let you know the result.

Thanks.

A7 rooted

Hey Prasad,

Thanks man for posting such info about rooting A7. The whole idea behind the rooting is to remove the bloatware and keep the A7 performing. I was reading some negative experiences post rooting specially about the battery. It's 18 hours past rooting and my phone is keeping extremely well. Link2SD helped me to remove some system apps (unwanted) like Facebook & Maps and I could move some user apps to the SD card. I also see others asking for an ICS ROM for A7. Do you think that A7's hardware (specially the limited internal storage) will be able to drive ICS well?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jaydev6681:
ICS ROM for A7 is not fake...it is my work...

Note-

1)Request to prasad-plz dont misguide anyone...d ROM posted my me is different(u can see d link on page 20)...d ROM is different from any other ROM posted in dis thread or anywhere on websites...dont believe other websites...

2)i m working on ICS ROM for more than 7 days...

3)i need support of all members in order to make ICS ROM for A7...

4)someone said dat d ROM cannot be flashed due to arguments error in CWM...

5)i think d prob is in update binary & updater script files in meta folder...

6)i need some senior members & experties help in order to solve dis prob...

7)i need more testers to confirm wat are d problems in ROM...

8)plz support me so dat i can make ICS ROM for A7...

Dis request is for all members on dis forum...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vinodkbishnoi:
You can use. But proper display of splash image will depend upon resolution of the image. As Karbonn A7 have a resolution of 320x480 for splash image. It will not affect any other function of phone. If your splash image is of different resolution then your phone's it will displayed distorted. That's it. No big deal.

Thank you very much for your stable rom.

I am working on the rom, cooking it to make more fast and smooth. Dalvik catch is a huge problem, it's taking around 95MB :eek:, however i have made a small script to copy dalvik catch to sd card without sd-ext, but it only work temporery, you have to run the script each time after reboot. :silly:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rohithanda:
First of all, I would like to thank everyone for providing such great inputs for rooting, driver installation, rom links and so on...

I am a little confused like every new user. People are discussing about multiple handsets like karbonn a7, a7+, a5, A5+ and spice mi handset and replies run in thousands, so its very difficult to track changes. I have started a page on Wikihow regarding instructions of rooting, installing drivers and custom roms. We can place all the tutorials over there and list all the available roms on that page with know bugs and benchmark results. Further images and video can also be embedded. My exams are on till 28th so I can't devote much time on moving all the instruction there till my exams are over. So, I request all the senior members to copy paste their tutorials on the wikihow page, so that new users don't keep posting same question again and again. It will be easier to find information on a single page instead of 200+ pages. Following is the link to the page. I have pasted instructions of rooting and installing drivers. Similar pages can be started for all the handsets. Edit the url as i can't post links before i post 10 replies.

ICS A7 Search Key to Power Key

Hi,

Karbonn A7 ICS. Now you can use search key of your A7 as power key.

Follow the procedure...

1. Download zip file and extract it.

2. Open terminal/Command prompt.

3. Connect your phone to PC via USB.

4. Run following commands.

c:/> adb devices

c:/> adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/7x27a_kp.kl

now copy this file on a safe place. So that if anything goes wrong you could be able to restore it.

now open folder where you have extracted the zip file. The extracted file will be of same name as "7x27a_kp.kl"

c:/> adb push <path to file 7x27a_kp.kl> /system/usr/keylayout/
​

Now reboot your phone. You will be able to use your search key as power key.

Thanks.
