this phone have 768mb ram and a 1.3mp front camera and 1.2ghz processor. if the hardware inside is same the ROM will work . now who is taking risk. it is evident that phone is on msm8225. kernel of our phone is locking the frequency may be it will be possible increase it may be allocated ram also.(as you guyz know that user allocated memory(341mb in our case) is dependent on kernel and there is little to no chance that we will get kernel sources from videocon) so please anyone try this rom(please take backup at first) and comment i would have tried it but i don't have time now .u know exams.

yes if u r rooted u can install any of the memory optimizer or task killers. make a widget keep your game folder on launcher home screen and of course u hav to apply swap sd method for swapping your default external memory.(by vold.fstab method) cuz game data itself is about 2gb for these type of games.

Its Working

Now here comes the surprise part. The crashing problems of launcher, contacts and messaging app were annoying. I just reset the phone to factory settings this morning and after that every thing was solved, working like a charm.

Now the instructions for installing the rom.

1. copy the zip file of the Gsmart Rio 1 into the sd memory

2. Boot into the console by pressing Vol up and power key.

3. select update from external memory

4. select the zip file

5. update.

After booting launcher will not work (in my case). install another launcher via Android AIO flasher.

Go to the settings and reset the phone. There is no need to put the password for reset.

After boot you will have the new rom installed and working.

The boot logo is GSMART also the unlock logo has a G in the middle. It is better than the stock one. As far as the camera orientation is concerned its all gone now and working as desired.

Enjoy friends ---- untill a new rom comes out, Keep searching ......
