Cant Root.....hard luck.....:( can anyone please find a simple way.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vijayar:
Take a look at Droidiser post #18. If that method works fro you, take a back up of your Stock Recovery. In case you want to revert to the original recovery just replace the CWM recovery with Stock recovery in the ROM and flash only the recovery option via SP Tool. Also once you get CWM dont forget to immediately take a backup of your fully working stock rom, before even trying to flash the zip file. That way you will be safe !

Reporting after trying the method ? Can you explain what happened ?

Thanks for your reply.. im gonna try to install first the rom that u have uploaded gonna update u soon thanks uhmm coz the thing is i have a flash tool (sp flash tools) thats the one im using right now. And im using vcom to install the drivers. The problem is i cant seem to install the driver of my phone. My computer always says that driver is not installed successfully (device unplugged). Ive already tried using laptop(32bit) desktop (64bit) and another 32 bit laptop. So im wondering is there any way that i could flash these files that u uploaded using only the cwm v6? Or there is something wrong with my flashing process was the usb debugging need to be turned on? Btw i've restored my phones factory settings coz ive thought that i can fix the touch screen problem. But i was wrong so i've restore my cwm back up then i repeat the process but still the pc cant read my phone's driver. Can u help me with this? Please and thanks in advace and more power

I have a question, How can i Remove or hide the Google Search bar from the top of the Screan on my Spice MI-500 mobile..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mithun shetty:
The kernel source is the source code used to build the specific kernels for specific phones....

Spice is holding those kernel source code for our phones , which if released we will be able to build our own kernels and jelly bean rom too....in other words we need a newer kernel to port jelly bean.....

Don't buy these indian brand

Here is my review after using mmx,karbonn,spice.....etc

1.no service support

2.no kernel source no miui,cm10,lewa....

3.no updates from factories eg.mi 500

Mmx a110 still in ics even though 512mb ram

4.mentions somthing gives sumthing

Eg.in mi 530 website day arm9 cortex processor,but actually in system build.prop says only armv7a version

Camera 8pix but its not upto nokias 3.2 mp,

In mi 530 qhd display but its impossible to c minimum 75degree angle.

In karbonn a7 its very cheap olastic body.

5.cheap plastic build

6.heavy heat from device

7.high radiation.

So decide bro what u need.

Quality or quantity

Sorry to interrupt you sir, but camera not upto the mark of nokia's 3.2 !!!

if you are talking about the front camera then its ok, it like 3.2mp, but rear camera performs well and far better than nokia's 5mp though one should not expect the quality to be of gs3's 8mp.

I own this device and display viewing angles are nice, are colors are produced accurate even at 175degrees, try changing the color scheme sir.

Regarding the updates, spice shares its kernel and as promised it will release jelly bean update.

I have used roms like cm8, miui on my spice mi300 personally, i agree all this is impossible in case of micromax, even service support, but i have never faced any such problem in case of spice.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bluedevil1:
not completely right

Indian brands don't actually manufacture the phones on their own. It is all re-branded from Chinese companies.

The reason behind this is the investment and risks of failures involved along with many other factors.

Each mobile phone when sold in the US / EU has to obey a SAR limit specified by their respective local union bodies. Since we don't' have any such thing in India yet (at least not that I know of), the Indian / Asian re-branded products are easier to advertise and sell.

All mobiles emit a certain bit of radiation which is measured in SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)

Wiki:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_absorption_rate

reviews.cnet.com/cell-phone-radiation-levels/?tag=lnav

Therefore, I would say that you are not completely right here when it comes to high radiation.

Following are a few links that mention the devices by manufacturers and their SAR values:

freeshield.com/cell-phone-radiation-sar-rating-chart.html

A few images:

google.co.in/search?q=sar+mobile+phone&hl=en&client=firefox-beta&hs=XAT&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=AkRhUca7BcbsrAeAoYGAAQ&ved=0CGsQsAQ&biw=1440&bih=721

(replace all the "__" with "tt" for URLs)

So, please be aware that if you buy a brand like Samsung or Sony, it does not necessarily mean that you are safe from radiation.

Please be open to all brands, check their SAR values and reviews, go to the nearest store to have a hands-on and only then make appropriate decisions.

Regards,

Yash

It has extra 581mb for Apps and apps only .Then it has 381MB free ram which is also for apps. And again 2.5gb for internal storage.. So having installed apps in581mb and then having 381free is good.(it does not even need root)

Hi friends,,

just got mi 500 everything works like a charm but there is no auto word suggestion for messaging. In the setting it prompts to enter user word to the dictionary. Also im unable to add or delete homescreens like when we pinch-to-zoom on homescreen, a cascade view of all the screen appears and from there we can add or remove screens, but this option is not available with the stock launcher.

Does anyone here have issue with the auto-suggestion in messaging??

u can replace stock-keyboards-predictive-dictionary

/data/data/com.android.providers.userdictionary/databases/user_dict.db

You need root to access it and sqlite3 to view the data inside

or try Adaptxt or magic - Keyboard! Faster, Smarter & Fluid texting in 50 Languages.

ya i have backup of my mi 500 done with gs script guide taken from russian site

but after that we have to make scatter file for flashing phone with backed up rom

i am made scatter file also but when i load scatter file there some error is shown in SP_Flash_Tool , that some files r not correct like dsp_bl.img

preloader.img

so now we have to have original rom from spice before experimenting anything

so if anything goes wrong we can restore phone to claim warranty

or we have to search for custom cmw recovery so that we can have proper nanroid backup to restore phone to original condition
