hi,

Hi guys,

received my A12+ yesterday via flipkart for 5k.

Nice little phone, best feature for me is HD decode, now i don't have to worry too much about transcoding video to make sure it work on cheap phone.

Anyway, i was wondering if anybody manage to mod stock android to any popular mod like CM or MUI or any other custom mod.

Also, is it worth rooting and installing CWM in this phone if there are no custom mod/rom available?

At the end of the day, phone is good enough as it is and unless there are stable enough custom rom i don't see need for rooting and CWM.

Whats yours opinion?
[Android General] abhifx:
totally worth it. you can customize it with xposed framework. also with sound mods and changing boot logo etc.

CM dont work on mediatek yet. i am trying MIUI port but i can only do some experiments during weekend. short answer, no MIUI and Lewa as of now.

Guys any headphone working with A12+?

The stock ones are Crap.. the samsung one I got with Galaxy Grand i9082 is not working properly! ANY SUGGESTIONS??:confused:
[Android General] abhifx:
have you tried mounting in mount/storage menu in recovery?

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

if you are talking about regular headphones.. then any standard headphones work. i am using Panasonic headphones which are good but the out output from mobile is still a crap.

if you are talking about headphones with mic than sony Ericsson headphones should work. (note: i am talking about sony Ericsson and not sony)
[Android General] NeelDroid:
Actually the samsung one which I talked about is fine.. only thing is that the mic is not working well.. When I talk, the other person thinks I am far from the mic!

your best option is to flash custom recovery through SP flash tool and restore backup uploaded by chuksde

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

you don't need all the files (and i dont have them). just flash recovery.

steps

1. start sp flash tool

2. load the scatter file which i have uploaded in this forum (dont use scatter file from OP).

3. select recovery and link the path to custom recovery.

4. click download

5. shutdown your phone and connect it with computer (vcom drivers must be pre installed.

6. after flash is complete restart your phone and enter recovery

7. restore backup as posted by chukzde
[Android General] sourish:
could not flash cwm

i have use ur scatter file but no use

n my phone is getting (connected n disconnected ) again n again

i have checked there is no wire problem !!
[Android General] abhifx:
drivers not properly installed. if you are using windows 8 or 8.1, you must remove driver signature verification.

also search net for vcom drivers for mt6572 (or mediatek in general). universal adb drivers don't work.

Edit: i can see in the screenshot that you are using some backed up recovery? is this CWM recovery? the CWM recovery is in OP
[Android General] sourish:
someone help me plzz...

thats a cwm recovery only

can u upload d corrrect vcom drivers for MT6572 !!
[Android General] sourish:
plz help problem arised

my phone is connecting n disconnecting for every 2 sec when i connect it to pc (battery,sim,mcard removed)

in the device manager list updates itself every two seconds: once it shows the preloader vcom port and then in the next refresh there's no vcom port and this process repeats

how to deal with it !!! ??? plz help my phone is just 1week old
[Android General] abhifx:
battery must be in the phone. sp tool should be ready and download button should be pre-pressed. before connecting the phone the phone should be switched off. it will turn on automatically and install drivers and start flashing.

this is considering your drivers are correctly installed and driver signature verification is disabled.
[Android General] sourish:
THANK YOU (abhifx) !!! i have unbricked my phone

i have learnt a valuable lesson

->first read before u install any app such as" chainfire 3d"

->after rooting dnt forget to flash CWM

->have a perfect back up of ur stockrom

even i have ported couple of OS like Color OS from Oppo , MIUI from Xiomi, Lewa from ZTE and Xperia UI from Xolo A500s(its not fully themed)

But i ain't got any time to upload them and continue the threads so it will be wiser to upload after my exams so that i can keep up with the development

Edit: Even IOS 7 which is exactly the same
[Android General] abhifx:
Ok i retract. the MIUI rom i have is kind of unstable, apart from some random reboots and sluggishness, the sim management fails at random.

so yeah Guneet.. i would rather wait for your uploads and then we could probably aim for stability. i am not uploading mine for the time being.
[Android General] chukzde:
which MIUI you tried buddy????

i ported one myself but i m having a silly problem... sim card not getting detected...

everything else is working pretty much stable... no bootloops or funny things....

interface is smooth , music player works fine...

wifi getting connected but with nvram error and also i have to manually connect it using advance settings...
[Android General] abhifx:
In order to make sim work... You will have to copy modem firmware from base rom. Also the camera should be greenishly working. Copy camera libs from base rom. This should fix everything. Also check if ambient sensor is working
[Android General] chukzde:
m on it

i tried modem.img fix but didn't helped
[Android General] abhifx:
Mt6572 doesn't have modem.img, it has a specific modem file. There should be two files in firmware directory
[Android General] chukzde:
yeah i rnamed the stock modem image to the ported rom and overwrited it but no use :(
[Android General] abhifx:
Wrong! You don't have to rename it. Copy both the files as is to ported rom firmware directory
[Android General] chukzde:
well i guess something else have been the problem as i overwrited the modem file and also copied the original name files ....

the network is stable now but the wifi is the problem now.... will work on it tommorow after getting back from clg.... have exam and still awake....

thanks abhi gdnt

[Android General] abhifx:
[MENTION=5493268]chukzde[/MENTION]

personally i am not interested in xolo rom. its almost same as karbonn (and additional touch glitches) except for xolo theme support which i am getting through nova and MIUI icon pack.

however you could post the ROM for the time being (label it as RC or beta) maybe someone may post a solution.

but a latest Lewa V5 port or MIUI V5 port is appreciated. i don't have time to make this port happen (can access my system only one day a week)
[Android General] GuneetAtwal:
WELL xOLO rom is not that much stable as our Stock ROM i have even tried Lenevo's Stock ROM but that was also not that much stable as our Stock ROM so i recommend to Port only ROMs with different UI's like iOS , ColorOS , MIUI, MoguOS , Touchwiz , Lewa etc
[Android General] chukzde:
well dropping the idea of xolo rom but i used it for a day and everything is working fine.....

one question.... everytime flash a new rom and use it my messages are stored in that rom for that time of being used and after flashing other rom all gone..... :( what to do to save all my messages no matter which rom i am on....

and the miui i ported is having a problem that camera not working at all

i have my last exam tommorow after which i will be fully concentrating on rom developement
