no, you cannot use the GFI JB rom. its not the same as Gew.

if touchscreen is disabled after flashing. try to flash another boot.img via spflashtool.

still no custom roms or jb updates and they have launched new models....why....wtf????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] piyush6040:
you are right !! and also spice official website not showing spice mi 500 in their site. they are really careless about their device. its totally west of 12.5k on this devices instead of this buy any branded device atleast their services are good. we can not except more from our local mobile brand. they release a device and after a month or too release another device and forgot about old devices.

but anyway what can we do just satisfied with this device and soon i am gonna sell my device and buying a new galaxy s2...:cool:

you might wanna check that out. if there is a problem with touch capability after flashing the rom. just flash you spice mi-500 boot.img

did u have any touch screen problems on this rom as i read that the titan roms give some problems with the touch screen:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] konzendoujin:
touch screen problem

as i mentioned. you just have to flash your spice mi500 boot.img to your device to enable the touch capability when you flash a titan based rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] basilan99:
No problem at all. Smooth scrolling and 3D games play MUCH MUCH SMOOTHER/BETTER (Wild Blood, NBA 2K13, Shadowgun, NBA Jam, Modern Combat 4). :good::good::good: I think this custom ROM packs a lot of tweaks!

I haven't tried to flash the Adiri rom though (can't find the download to it) so I can't really compare what ROM is better. What can you say about the two custom ROMs that you have @konzendoujin? :)

***By the way, I used CWM recovery to flash the cassini v2 ROM.

Steps I did before flashing it:

1. Copy the Cassini ROM on the root of your SD Card (with .zip file extension).

2. Turn off the phone.

3. Turned it back on by holding power button + UP Volume key for few seconds (went to CWM recovery mode).

4. Choose Wipe Data / Factory reset and execute it.

5. Choose Wipe cache partition and execute it.

6. Go to Advanced menu, choose Wipe Dalvik Cache and execute it.

7. Go back to main menu, and choose Install zip/update from sdcard and execute it.

8. Finally it will start to flash the custom rom for a few minutes.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

After flashing the Cassini ROM, you will notice a different launcher and all other stock apps are deleted.

The launcher it uses is called Nemus Launcher and you can modify the themes with it's built in SSKIN Themes.

Here as some screenshots of my Cassini Rom (Liveback_Affrica Theme from SSKIN):

I haven't published the adiri rom yet. but im using it right now for testing, still in progress. i am currently editing some xml files.

basically the transition effects and delay are removed for instant response. just made some few tweaks and others..

I don't know if I will finish it because Im going to sell my Titan soon and buy Titan T.V.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] basilan99:
Hopefully you could finish the Adiri ROM before selling your Titan. :fingers-crossed:

Just saw the Titan TV today and the phone is large.

It has a 6" 480x800 WVGA screen which I think is a downside. I like its 1GB RAM and additional TV though. :laugh:

screen problem solution

you can edit the build.prop by pulling it first from the device by doing:

open root explorer and go to system folder there you see build.prop copy this file to your internal sd card and transfer this file to windows

now open this file with notepad++ and and add below lines at the end

gsm.proximity.enable=false

now save this and transfer it to your phone again and replace this file in sytem folder now restart your device and its done

(to enable sensor again you need to remove the line from build.prop)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AFLASH77:
:p Spice mi 500 doesn't have some imp sensors(forgor which ones),bad camera,too heavy,no root(atleast for a while,as people say),512 mb ram(while a21 is 1gb cuz it has 581 free for apps and it can install apps directly to external storage,while pn mi500 only some apps can ve moved to external),it looks way big and bulky,but who has time for watching a 12 hr video lol :D?

And yeah A21 jas qHD resolution .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nileshtambe:
yeah u r right but i req long battery as this is not my calling phone i use basically to navigation and watch movies so i req big battery big display

as i tested 2 mi 500 i get following

more than 5 days stand by with both 2g sim on

12hr video play back on single charge

5 hrs music playback on phone speaker drains 15-18 % of battery so roughly 30 hrs

i have karbon 18 also if i start gps for navigation phone doesn't last for half day also

1500 mAh karbon a18 can play video for just 3 hrs 45 min just giving comparison

this is the only site selling it check specification they diff on diff sites if u purchase it give us review i am happy to purchase that

one also i can tred my 1 mi500 also if its good

A21 has sanpdragon S4, but its S4 play.. its based on the older A5 architecture n is built on 45nm process.. so its not even close to being as fast as an S4 plus/pro SoC which are present on newer gen phones..

Saheb • 4 days ago −

Its not qHD.. its WVGA.. Anyway, the specs seem good.. now only if it had a bigger battery

Hi Karbonn A21 phone which has got 4.5 inch qHD Display according to the karbonn website ..

Hi Karbonn A21 phone which has got 4.5 inch qHD Display according to the karbonn website ..

But in the specs tab it's mentioned as WVGA. Not sure which is the correct one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AFLASH77:
No one is sure yet. Igyaan's have the phone so we will be getting a review soon.So all our doubts would be cleared :D

Atleast you get a dual core snapdragon for less than 10k.

A9+ with same specs(512mb ram,4"screen)comes for less than 9k in local stores.

All we can do now is wait :cool:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nileshtambe:
ya that will be nice if someone reviews it

i have my eye on a9+ but battery is only 1450 mAh , i dont know, how much it will stand on dual core and ips screen

i think within 6 months we will have more lots of choices and as companies releasing so many handset so fast

hope so we get the best of all

Karbonn A21

I would suggest people who are thinking of buying Mi 500 to take a look at A21 cuz someone posted this -

Today purchased the A21 from the local store here in Kolhapur @ Rs. 9,900/- Giving the details here which I think may help you a lot for the review. Also, I think this may clear many doubts from the readers.

1. The Overall build quality is OK but I can tell you that its not that much impressive as compared to MMX A100 – My previous phone. Doesn’t give that premium look at all. Although its quite light weight and handy for sure.

2. Battery is 1800 mAH which seems to be good enough for a single or even 1.5 days for the heavy user. Definitely will last longer than A100.

3. Coming to the system, the Processor is Qualcom Snapdragon clocked at 1.2 GHz. The Chipset is MSM 8625 with Dual Core ARMv7 processor.

4. GPU is Adreno 203.

5. RAM is 512 MB out of which Available RAM is 386 MB. Application Storage memory is 581 MB (Its not RAM) & Internal Storage is 2.57 GB.

6. Screen size is 4.5 Inches & the plus point is that yes its qHD resolution of 540 x 960 pixels.

7. Rear Camera is 5.0 MP with 2592 x 1944.

8. An Tu Tu Benchnark score was 5247 whereas Quadrant Standard gave a Benchmark score of 2502.

9. 720p HD videos played well & smoothly without any lags. (Didn’t played on my MMX A100) Yet to try the 1080p full HD videos. Will update it tomorrow.

10. HD games like ASPHALT and even heavy HD games like DEAD TRIGGER, CS PORTABLE were played without any lags at all. Quite amazing experience as compared to MMX A100.

11. Loudspeaker quality is OK but not as loud as on A100. Headphone quality is average.

12. All the Sensors are there like Light, Proximity and G-Sensor. No Magnetic Sensor though.

13. 5.0 MP Camera is able to record videos at 720 x 480 HD resolutions only. Camera quality is a little bit higher though as compared to A100. Yet to check the Picture quality at night though.

14. Multi touch tester shows 5 Multi-touch points (Same as A100 but) but I can tell you that the touch response is very good as compared to most of the devices in this range. Awesome.

15. I think KARBONN haven’t done any Customization at all for ICS. Standard OS is as it is.

Will update in couple of days about the other details when I go through it. I think its enough for the people to make the decision.

I think its worth the cost especially looking at the qHD Screen, 1.2 GHz Dual Core, Flawless performance, etc.
