[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] droidiser:
Just noticed that there is no thread dedicated to development and discussions about the Canvas 4, so starting one.

Specs:

1.2 GHz MT 6589 Processor

SGX 544 GPU

1 GB RAM

16 GB internal storage, 2.4 GB for apps

Android 4.2

13 MP camera at the back

5 MP front camera

Lot of software features

Development:

If you get hold of the device, try the bin4ry rooting method. You don't need to panic if anything goes rom, the stock rom for this phone is already available and can be flashed using SP Flash tool at any time to go back.

Rooting Guide:

Install drivers for your phone using pdanet. Get pdanet here: http://pdanet.co/a

Download Droidiser Rooting Kit for Canvas 4 (Motochopper).

Run the run.bat file in there.

See detailed instructions here.

Downloads:

Stock ROM v1 (29th June 2013)

Clockworkmod Recovery and other essential files for the Canvas 4 coming soon.

Get Canvas 4 features on other phones:

Most of the software features on Canvas 4 are already available via a slew of apps on the play store. Almost all of them are free. Try them now:

Floating video player: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupVideo&hl=en

Floating Browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupWeb&hl=en

Tiny Apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite

I don't wanna spam this thread with too many links for apps, if you are interested in having replacement for these stock features on Canvas 4, read this.

How many of you had pre-ordered the device and how many are actually going to buy it? Were you expecting more? Let's start off the discussions.

I had preordered it but not at all impressed with specs... Although I have not cancelled yet I may soon do so.

Not impressed with specs

I have cancelled the pre-order.....the specs are same as CanvasHD except for the Camera

They should play to their strength ... hardware and pricing...the biggest disappointment was RAM and battery

Canvas 4 did not have any WOW factor for me.

[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] ManoharMaddineni:
tips to improve battery life

turn off WiFi/mobile data, Bluetooth, live wallpapers, and the brightness all the way down when not needed. that saved me some battery life. even though it does not improve a lot, something is better than nothing. the battery life sucks on the canvas 4. maybe some ROMs should improve the battery life at some point in the future(I hope/think so)

Want to know how I did it? Please let me know if you are curious. I didn't find myself using the provided flip cover by micormax as it was akward for me. So I came up with this idea. Believe me I made it so simple and easy to make this. Please let me know if you are curious.

Anyone wanting to apply the S4 mod, here are the required steps

1. Root the phone

2. Install Xposed Framework

3. Take any one of the Touchwiz 5 packages found on xda, extract them to appropriate locations , set permissions to rw-r-r

4. Install Gravity Box to get recents clear button and a few other stuff

5. Install XThemeEngine and use CM10.1 Touchwiz 5 theme with it.

Voila , job done.

My Experience & Need for rooted ROM

Dear All,

This device

Camera 13MP

photo - useless & pixelated, not equivalent to 2MP sony / 2MP nokia quality

- panorama works well

- macro & other settings work well too

video - quality is ok

- zoom is step zoom, not smooth

- photo during is HD video too is low rez.

- video zoom max is highly pixelated

photosphere is not present

speaker - low volume

ear speaker - low volume

mic capturing too is low volume.... not comparable to same price tag sony/samsung

aluminium body - adds probablity of damage to LCD & other part by transferring the force of impact to internal components. Plastic body helps to dissipate by breaking off splitting off into 3 - 4 components

marketing / advertised features like

blow air - does not work. need to test on table to verify?????

bring near ear to talk is just proximity sensor which is very difficult to manage once on. if your phone is in pocket & you keep nearly horizontal to see his name & you want to keep it back inside [vertical + proximity] - it will pick up the call instead of keeping it ringing/silent just inside.

after each call the screen does not turn on, if locked

you cannot avoid a call and leave it ringing and do your work. either you drop or pick or message. home button doesnot show desktop during call. Ideally it should go to notification area and can be pulled and taken if needed.

control

navigation symbol lies perpendicular to the road instead of following the travel direction

security is good,

only one time in 15 days my phone crashed/restarted on own.... quite good

display - i had problem on day 8 without any damage

service - poor, not confirmed any confirmation of delivery of parts to service center yet [9 days over from complaint registering]

performance is ok....

OS has less control over its parameters.

I want to have something like MiniCM 7.2.2/MiniCM10 - stable on it..... any good hope????

from

I own

SE X10 minipro + CWM 7.2.2 [best work ever on it]

Arey you like psyco or something, if you are this frustrated then sell off this phone and buy yourself a nokia asha, if you think 2mp is better.

[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] kavithy:
Hi Bro Please provide me the details how to do that
[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] Photoneutron:
Hey Bro....

Pls be little patient,

I own

Sony X10 minipro 5M - rooted & tried all version Cyanogen of roms - finally settled with 7.2.2.2

Nokia Asha 202

Micromax A210 - unrooted

Samsung Galaxy S3 - unrooted

I have just compared the images of same place with my Sony 5M, Asha after exporting to laptop. Then i was really shocked, you know i have invested 18K for Quad core, 1GB, dual 3G.... but when it came to camera, i was lost remaining features is manageable. I don't hate any company/brand. But please let me know if you own micromax A210. Because I too was so much interested, i got it after comparison of specs with Xolo play etc.... & gave a try

Additionally:

"sensor size" & "sensor material" matters & not the resolution!!!

Please let me know if I am wrong any where, or you all have got excellent images out of the same. I can provide images for your verification.

Thanks a lot. I am taking lot of photos but i wish you should own a Sony too to compare.... The images of a210 is good on the phone display as the pixel size is small. Your images too have the same effect as mine.... Pixelation decreases with brightness... I tried to take at iso 100 but i shook. i will upload some more good images..... I will try to root and change camera later once a stable rom worth rooting releases... And as of now i am not aware how successful is unrooting or rebranding without any software like sony's.... I dont want to spend by voiding warranty by rooting as there are few customers with touch and display problem , as told from their service dept....

Any good reason for rooting a new a210 is appreciated.

1080P Video Test Rear Camera : Micromax Canvas 4

it records 1080P in 3GP format. Although it has OIS, it's not that good. But the camera is good for casual video here and there. Not an "excellent" camera when it comes to colour reproduction, and low light performance is horrible, and the flash doesn't help at all.

Did you check the Router is working properly? What's that router's standard? B/G/N? If it's an old router, it's a problem with the router. If it's a new one, check the antena is properly functioning.

If everything above is working fine,

GO GET A NEW CANVAS!

Try flashing a stable release. Mostly from the Play Store when you update / install, if it crashes, it could be because you don't have enough memory or mot enough RAM space left. Try and reboot the phone. then open the app. If the problem still exists, disable your Anti-Virus , try again, reboot. If the problem still exists, just let me know.

Unrooting

Guys,I am a complete n00b at this,so I will try to explain my situation as best as I can...

I bought a new MMX Canvas 4 recently and rooted it using a similar process,but I have Superuser app instead of SuperSu.

I managed to root it successfully and I've uninstalled all the bloatware on the device such as MMX gaming hub,MMX apps etc.My question here is,can I unroot my phone using any process? Or is there some other method for unrooting my phone since I don't want to brick my phone unnecessarily...It has only been a few weeks since I bought the phone.So if there is a specific method,please point me to it.Also,after I unroot it successfully,can I claim my warranty without all those bloatwares on my phone or will I have some trouble? Please help me out,I'm desperate. Thank you all.
[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] djhot143:
Take it easy

hi,

If you rooted it then you can easily unroot it using superSU aaps. here in setting you will get "full unroot" option.

Note: but as you removed some apps its may be possible that service center will identify that you did something with this mobile.

Only option is that , you have to Flash/Install fresh stock rom. or get apk file of that removed apps and install it. after that convert it as a system app using Link2SD.

Dear You have a very small problem so don't panic.

Hit Thanks and be happy.
