to unroot just flash the fresh CWM backup which I have posted in this thread which is tested by me or you can follow itsjame method also but I have not tested it in ics rom of spice..regarding upgradation of gb to ics I feel touch sensitity is elastic

not that of gb and for camera just any camera app like camera360 or camera zoom fx and for link2sd first reset your phone and then format the ext partition from CWM ..my suggestion is to go for ics upgrade because it supports more apps like chrome,apex launcher and so on

before going for upgrade ensure that you are on stock recovery and stock rom

Hello suhas,

Did I used a flash tool to backup complete phone if yes can u guide me how to do it because it requires a scatter file which I don't hv. Please tell me how can I got that file and from where....:cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] suhas.holla:
bro which flash tool ur talking about??is it sp flash tool?? the scatter file is only for MTK phones like micromax phones that have mediatek processor..our phones have qualcomm processor...we have to use fastboot flasher tool to flash rom and what kind of backup u want to take??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] suhas.holla:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mahfoozceecy:
It's impossible to port it to a9 without the kernel ie boot.img made for karbonn a9 + the baseband files.For both we will have to rely on karbonn or k-touch.so wait for the official release.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mahfoozceecy:
A9 display drivers and Spice display drivers are different.(need different boot.img).So even if u are able to update through them u will end up with a display with colours washed out.Also im not sure the baseband files of both devices are same.

Buddy, is there a custom ROM for Spice mi425.

Can we change to GB from ICS, with this new base bands installed on spice mi 425 while upgrading to ICS.

When on GB the Google Maps showed my locations using GPS. But now on ICS, its saying, cannot locate temporarily. How to check that GPS is working or not?

there are drawbacks with this 4.0.4

no face unlock

android keyboard dont have inbuilt dictionary(though my s2 has inbuilt dictionary on ICS)

lockscreen is also not so good

camera app is pretty slow

did u find anymore probs .pl share here:):laugh:

Update:

There are considerable amount of lags when u open four to 6 apps at a time,even though the lag is not visible in gb for the same apps and same version installed.(i guess this is due to high ram usage by ics).In normal itself ics uses around 220mb of ram without any apps installed in the phone

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mi-425:
some facts i found

Today I upgraded my mob to ICS 4.0.4 and i found

1) Launcher is less sensitive

2) Internal storage is less than GB its only 122MB.

3) No access points installed previously.

4) It is unable to import contacts (.vcf) from sdcard

5) Poor call and camera features

6) But great FM radio application

7) I thought dual active sim for call but not it is most disgusting its only for data

Upgrade to ICS took away Google Navigation :crying:

When I upgraded to the ICS, Google Navigation DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE.

It used to work like a dream on the GIngerbread, and I was VERY happy with the phone. When I gave the phone to the Service Cente, they say that I need ADVANCED DATA Settings with my service Provider (Tata DOCOMO in Mumbai Circle). So I can browse the net without a problem, do other things well, but I CAN'T use the NAVIGATOR. I think that's bull****, and Spice is just taking us forgranted.

Have any of you faced the same problem as well? How did you get out of it. Stock ROM, no rooting/ Unrooting yet, but wish to do so soon.

I went to the Spice Service Center in Pune, near Swargate to upgrade my phone to ICS. It's the only service center listed on the Spice website. I called before I went, and the guy told me that the upgrade wouldn't take more than 30mins. It took me about an hour and half to travel from my place to the service center, and when I reached they told me that I had to visit another one, an hour away. That was too far away for me, and I returned home disappointed.

I've got a question for everyone who's upgraded.

Is the ICS upgrade really worth getting?

Please use APex launcher. Its really smooth, than the default launcher and even ADW launcher.
