Refresh your Phone

For those of you who are fed up with your phone due to slow speed and lags, try MIUI rom made for GSmart Rio R1. It has around 170mb free RAM after installing games and apps and has a decent battery backup too. Just change the language to English from Russian and install Xpeia Keyboard after removing the stock russian keyboard.

Upgrade/Update to 4.3 Jelly Bean

Hi Guys,

any new update of ROM
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaganathsamal:
New ROM (170mb free RAM)

Download Link:

drive.google.com/uc?id=0B4CSvZeRyiA4ODZJcmFoNGpJd3M&export=download {MiUi ROM 4.0.4 - Pre Rooted}

drive.google.com/uc?id=0B4CSvZeRyiA4Nmd3amQ5cUh6S2c&export=download {Xperia Keyboard}

Steps to install:

1. Install the ROM File (98mb) using the English CWM Recovery.

2. Reboot and change the language options to english.

3. Reboot in CWM Recovery mode and flash the Xperia Keyboard File.

4. Download any root uninstaller software from the google playstore and remove the stock keyboard. (I also removed the stock browser, stock calculator, stock launcher and the stock calendar app as I hardly use them and installed Firefox, RealCalc, Holo Launcher for the same).

5. Install all the apps & games which you wish use.

6. Start the Xposed Installer (pre-installed) and continue by pressing "Install/Update" button.

7. After that start greenify app (pre installed) and add all the apps except the launcher and the keyboard app. (If you use Whatsapp, Gmail for push notifications then do not greenify them)

So, its all done

:D

Another full MiUi based ROM for Videocon A30 (pre rooted). It has a different look altogether and is very fast. The only problem is that Google play store doesn't work. You have to use apk files or 3rd party app stores instead of play store. A fix for playstore is also available.

The 122mb ROM is a proper MiUi ROM, and it looks different too. It's based on Q280.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaganathsamal:
most of the ROMs listed on 4pda.ru have dead links and are not upto the mark. I have tried most of them but didn't like it, except for the ones I have posted on this forum.

Also, do not flash the Blue dash ROM using your PC. Only use the zip file and flash through the custom recovery. flashing through any other method will most likely brick your device. I had bricked my device too.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

The playstore doesn't work. I tried the Titanium Backup method and also tried restoring the playstore (with the services) from other ROMs. Both the methods don't work. So, it's best to use a 3rd party appstore like Amazon Appstore, Blackmart or anything similar.

Is the Blu Dash ROM any good? Can you post memory usage?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaganathsamal:
Well, not much of a difference. I had flashed the zip initially (using CWM), but the installation was partially successful. The radio part could not be flashed and I was getting an error. The phone still rebooted and was working properly.

So, I tried to do a full installation using the flash tool on my laptop (i.e. Reloading the entire firmware including the radio, partition images and qualcomm loader) from the blue dash ROM full firmware which bricked my device. (although the installation completed successfully as per my laptop but my phone didn't restart)

The most probable reason for this brick is that Videocon A30 has 4 keys, while blu dash has 3 keys. So, the touch screen and some other components are incompatible maybe.

Therefore, no screenshots available and I won't try to install it again ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shainshailesh:

All I would say is try the 98mb ROM as per the given procedure.

It is the only ROM where I have found literally zero lag while playing games like Temple Run, Subway Surf etc. even after installing many apps.

It is finally possible to seamlessly switch between whatsapp, firefox without any lag during my college classes :P :D

(With other ROMs the phone used to hang for a while or the browsing became terribly slow, or the keyboard took a few minutes to load or the app simply crashed :eek: )

PerfictionROM 2 - Antutu Benchmark 7449

I switched from the 98mb ROM which had 170mb RAM to PerfictionROM 2 yesterday.

This ROM is also in russian. So, I changed the language to english, removed all stock apps as usual (similar to the installation procedure of the 98mb ROM in my earlier post).

I also installed Greenify and Xposed Installer (from the old 98mb ROM).

The free RAM after installing all the apps is around 150-160mb.

The Antutu benchmark score is around 7300 for this ROM (on my device). The ideal score as given by the developer is 7449.

(NOTE: The Antutu benchmark of the 98mb ROM was around 7150)

Although the free ram is lesser in this rom, but the games and apps are much smoother. Even the Antutu Scores are better. (Don't know how)

So, I guess will be staying with this ROM for now :)

For the drivers you can use the drivers if already available with you for Videocon A30 and for rooting use the same procedure same as Videocon A30. i.e. binary root method.

The link above will also help if we backup the stock recovery and request some developer to port that to a CWM for our phone and then we can hunt for custom roms for our phone. Pls try that. I would have tried but I messed up my sock recovery without taking backup. Now where ever I request for a CWM they are asking for stock recovery image. We need the backup very badly.
