I am glad you figured it out. It is also strange and new information from you that you dont use phone with sim. I am kind of :cyclops:

Yes sure, just flash this default AOSP Launcher installation patch from TWRP of CWM. Check attached screenshots. After reboot phone will ask you to choose Launcher (as shown in screenshot). Also all AOSP wallpapers will showup to choose. (screenshot) . Tested ok. Perfectly working on my phone.

@Johnny199314 ha ha u replied old post about v0.3E but you missed new release v0.3F in this post. Just check OP again. :D

I am not aware of this flash light app. It is just flash light like torch or flash in camera?

EDIT: Its just another simple FlashLight app available everywhere. Install ATTACHED APK like any other apk. I did not see any difference in flash light. Its normal flashlight like others.
[Micromax A116] Johnny199314:
Can I flash this in a117
[Micromax A116] akshayk498:
I am getting fc in text to speak
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Akshay. Sorry Tts not tested by me. But It should update automatically first time from Google play store. Then it will work perfect. I think so Just try it.

Also try FIX permissions in TWRP / CWM. May work. Not sure.

Edit: Fix Permission not working. Will be under process...
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
No it will not work in 117. Not tested but I don't want negative feedback here for 117. This is made for A116.

My review on this perfect ROM

PRO:

++++++

1. Boot animation is amazing with google logo and animated colors

2. Free RAM is around 450+ MB after 50+ apps installation

3. Wi-Fi - Connects faster and no NVRAM error

4. NOVA Launcher: Take a bow to [MENTION=4448971]cmahendra[/MENTION] I was looking for simple yet full featured launcher and here it is...

5. UI is smoother than butter!

CON

---------

1. Date and Time setting did not work. Manually I've set the date

Requests:

1. Please incluse Exposed Installed and GB in next release

Overall, the best ROM for our beloved A116 device. Keep up the good work and Thanks a TON!!
[Micromax A116] akshayk498:
Thanks a lot i like the interest you have in this rom development thanks will wait for your patch...
[Micromax A116] akshayk498:
Very poor batter backup i dont know what went wrong please help ...
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Thanks for the review! :good:

This rom is for people like me who like minimalistic roms, so no mods will be pre-installed. You can install any mods over it to suit to your needs and likings. :) If used in this way, it will never let you down in your work and business, that's for sure :D

I did not notice any problem in automatic timezone setting with my both vodafone mumbai sims. It recognizes timezone perfectly as "+5:30 Kolkata". I think its carrier oriented issue. Not tested with any other company sims. Still manual setting of timezone is not a major thing.

EDIT: Confirmed with few regular pals, they never had any problems after 40 times flashing. It seems carrier issue to me.
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
arey sorry pals, Dev-host server was not at all taking uploads for some time, so I got tired and stopped working and now came back after few hours. Now it is uploaded quickly Download this GoogleTTSv2xUpdate APK and install like any other APK.

Note: If you still get FC/Error, then delete this file "/system/app/GoogleTTS.apk" and install this GoogleTTSv2xUpdate APK again and reboot. Tested ok. I actually find this feature useless (for me :D ) Who the freak will wait to listen text from mechanical character, when actually you can read fast and skip useless lines in article? lolz :D

Possibly a Battery Synchronization problem. Charge upto 100% and wait for 1 more hours in same state and then reboot two/three times. If battery is less than 100% charge again upto 100%.

Atlast ... I decided to flash a rom which has a super dev with constant support and is super luminal too ... :D ...

So flashed this ROM today morning, and have been using it.

Review:

-- the rom is super smooth - all the games runs super smooth than other roms which I have been using for a while (MIUI, Color OS)

-- no date/time setting error faced as been seen reported by some users - getting correct time update

-- have installed xposed framework and have tried to tweak as much as poss to better the looks and the rom still runs smooth

-- got the google text to speech engine error - but happy that a fix has already been released though have not tested it yet

-- app management is really good :mad:

Looks:

as this have a basic AOSP look I wud like to modify the looks a bit based on the Xposed frameworks. Tried Xposed module called "Xposed Status bar Mods" mentioned here and also the Xtheme Engine themes and was successful to an extent as I needed. But was not able to mod the signal icons. Any help would be appreciated :victory:
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
@rkn989 +1 Wow! Thanks for the great review feedback.

I tried my best to keep this rom very light, neat and clean (coz I like that way) and I think I am very much successful to keep it that way. The secret is I badly wanted one such lightest rom for my own business use and then shared for all. I am sure this rom will not let you down, as runs two full days for me, so u get at least more than a day.

Even I encountered too many issues after first porting but I decided not to release buggy rom which will keep people away from using this as daily driver. Actually these days I fixed only few minor issues and now rom seems almost perfect.

@rkn989 Thanks for your suggestion about status bar modifications. Few are possible but no ETA. Please give me some time to think first. :)

AS MOST NOTICEABLE ISSUES ARE FIXED, I THINK THIS ACTUALLY IS A SEMI-FINAL VERSION 0.9 :D

Thanks a lot again to everyone who tried this rom. Also I heartily say thanks to @srihari210 for his celkon aosp rom which I ported to A116. :good: GOD BLESS.
[Micromax A116] wrick17:
try gravity box.. it got options to change status bar icon colors on the go.. and the latest tinted status bar mod got support for the gravity box icons too... together they work like a charm.... ;)

and [MENTION=4448971]cmahendra[/MENTION] your ROM is most amazing dev :D truly awesome... :) please keep up the good work... waiting eagerly for v0.4 :D
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Glad you like this rom. Thanks a lot [MENTION=4850160]wrick17[/MENTION] for trying and feedback. Of course will keep working on it. This rom have huge potential.
[Micromax A116] cryostasis25:
Also getting the unfortunately settings has crashed when accessing date and time BTW using a919i
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Sorry, tested only on A116. Send your a919i for fix. :laugh:

Can you please inform us about Digital Compass is working or not? Check in GPSTEST or in Maps. A116 does not have Digital Compass.
[Micromax A116] cryostasis25:
^i tried using the maps but the compass does not move even downloaded a compass app from playstore.

Everything work dunno why when accessing the date and time the settings crashes. But will stick to this as i find it more responsive amd fluid ^_^
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Thanks for your update. I just re-discovered from original Celkon Base Rom thread that compass will not work where it is mentioned in BOLD letters :D Sorry.

And thanks for confirming that except your datetime issue everything is working fine, :) I am sure this rom will not give you problem. :good:

Can I suggest you one thing? A919i is not made for indian region hence the baseband might be mismatching.

IF YOU ARE USING THIS PHONE IN INDIA, then post your baseband line here to find out why your carrier is not giving automatic date time and timezone. Our current baseband looks like this...

Baseband ver: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P18, 2013/07/04 16:00

If it is older, then try to update to latest P18 baseband by flashing stock rom with SPTOOLS and then flash this rom. It is known that new baseband have network performance improvements and longer battery.
[Micromax A116] ch3tan007:
Why there is a gap here?

I can't put any widgets in this space.

I think the homescreen is not Scaled Properly
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Its default launcher's preset space. No option available to change. Below that space you have grid of 4 rows and 4 columns. This is why most of us do not use default launcher and for same reason I have provided Nova Launcher in latest version BY COMPLETELY REMOVING STOCK LAUNCHER. Most stock launchers do no allow flexibility like commercial launchers.
[Micromax A116] mathsga:
Nice work.

It is still really annoying to call it AOSP whereas source is not open and available. Why not just call it a pure android ROM, or use a name that's a bit less confusing ? It seems the meaning of AOSP is not really understood anymore. :/
[Micromax A116] ch3tan007:
ok thanks for the info and by the way nicework:good:
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
I am not right person to discuss on this. srihari210 the original dev of this rom have already explained why it is called aosp in his thread. If you wish you may discuss this in details with him in his thread. his thread link is in OP. good luck :good:

If you know how to flash ROM and Recovery from SPTOOLS (in case of bootloops) then you can easily try any similar chipset rom at your own risk. This MT6589 series of phones are TOTALLY UNBRICKABLE, unlocked and rootable. :D

I haven't tested this rom with A116i but according to this information literally there is no hardware difference so you can surely try flash on A116i, of course at your own risk. Please let us know if it works. Good luck :svetius:
[Micromax A116] mathsga:
Well, this is your topic, and you are publishing a ROM without being able to publish the source, but you name it AOSP. So somehow, this is still false and confusing.

I agree on the fact that you're not the first one to call this ROM base "AOSP"

You've done a nice job porting this ROM. :good:

Nonetheless porting is not building from Open Source. So I'm just saying that it is not AOSP and should not be called AOSP.

AOSP and "pure android experience" are 2 different things. ;)
[Micromax A116] akshayk498:
I don't have any such issue here which version...
[Micromax A116] ch3tan007:
Because you are using Kitkat launcher . I was talking about stock launcher
[Micromax A116] akshayk498:
No even in stock launcher am not facing issue like that
[Micromax A116] ch3tan007:
Can you provide me a screenshot of default launcer
[Micromax A116] akshayk498:
Its default launcher icons are changed because i flashed zip of kitkat theme and its not kitkat launcher its default aosp launcher...
[Micromax A116] ch3tan007:
please give me that kitkat theme flash zip i liked it

Very light rom..

No issues happen to me so far.

Heavy gaming and tons of widget.. Yet free ram still around 300 to 600 mb.

Very good battery backup.. No battery drop issues that I experienced from other roms. Heavy usage lasts a day..unlike others that only lasted half with the same frequency of usage..

Fast connection on both data and wifi connection..

Hope you add some tweaks for display for cooler looks..

Thanks for sharing :thumbup:
[Micromax A116] akshayk498:
I found a weird bug the display automatically turn on some times when it is turned off .
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
I am GLAD you liked the rom and confirming its bugless. I am sure more people will be motivated by it. :good:

+1. Thanks for being helpful to others.:good: GOD Bless. :angel: plz keep it up.

I noticed this on stock rom too, may be an issue in base stock only. But after I install Greenify, it did not happen even once. But it is harmless. Could be some background app wakesup for no good reason. May be open wifi ssid/3g, etc. Install Greenify, it will hibernate unwanted apps and this wont happen. Even if it happens once or twice in 4/5 hours, it will not drain battery. So dont worry. Also closing notifications in apps manager for unwanted apps is good idea.
[Micromax A116] ch3tan007:

[Micromax A116] karthikiyengar:
This ROM is an absolute peach.

Light, no-nonsense with literally everything working out of the box.

Gotta give it to the dev, very well documented too. Looking forward to further development.
[Micromax A116] desipunk:
It is a nice ROM and nearly everything is working perfectly.

- Battery backup is really nice and that's what I want the most.

- Smooth and no lag in anything so far... Have to try my usual HD games and heavy apps to get the better idea

- Sound quality is good in earphones and loudspeaker.sound is loud enough.

- Getting free RAM between 350-450 MB.

- Date/Time settings. is not working. Device is automatic finding the timezone and time provided by network correctly but can't do manual settings like selecting 12 hour/ 24 hour format etc as Settings is getting FC after tapping on the Date/Time option.

- MMX stock 4.2 Camera would be better as it got more feature

- Nova launcher is a nice integration
[Micromax A116] hotmotogp:
I tested this rom ..

Pros : super fast ; lag free and most important battery backup is great ..

Cons : before flashing Gapps its ram use is upto 400mb . after flashing its upto 430-450 some wat..

I am currently using turbo rom by ritz after installing Gapps its consumes Ram upto 420mb only .. But ur rom give max battery backup ..

Thanx 4 dis rom bro keep it up..
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Thanks a lot, Thats the exact idea of being Minimalistic but yet strong and fast. Definitely updates will keep coming as and how minor or major changes are required. Keep visiting. :)

Glad you liked it and gave detailed feedback of rom feel.

I can do manual Date and Time settings but will again recheck if in any particular situation it is not allowed by any chance. It is also depends on mobile network. Some network operators fail to provide current date and time due to technical issues.

Please wait a day or two, I will provide flashable zip for Stock 4.2 Camera for both my roms. :)

Cons? Lolz! :D This rom is based on Stock+AOSP and none of them required GAPPS to be flashed seperately. Rom have inbuilt Google Play Store, Gmail, etc. Why would anyone need to flash Gapps when not told so? The changes in the RAM size is unpredictable and always changes as per usage pattern. I get at least 535mb free ram after flashing. When you flash something in recovery and reboot to system, it is obvious you get more free ram. :laugh:
[Micromax A116] desipunk:
I will be really looking forward for the Stock 4.2 Camera app... Thanks a lot. Cheers :)
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:

[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
You are partially right. I use both roms but cant use at the same time. I keep flashing or restoring at the time of testing. Its my bad that when I replied you I had KitKat rom in my mind which is current rom on my desk. Thats my bad.

Dont worry about free ram. Use greenify and it will freeze apps in background and device literally flies.
[Micromax A116] desipunk:
Awesome, bro... Thank you so much. You really rocked this time :good:

camera 8mp or 13mp?
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Camera Hardware 8mp and this Camera software also 8mp exactly as micromax gave us. :D and it does excellent job as expected.

Well, the photo resolution will be always limited to optical capacity of harware. The fact is, "There is no camera software in the world can capture the photo/video in higher megapixels than the OPTICAL CAPACITY of the camera hardware." Using a 13mp camera application available in some roms, is nothing but fooling yourself, which saves the photo captured by 8mp hardware and saving in 13mp on disk, which is exactly like OVERSIZING PHOTO in Photoshop without increasing the details of the actual object of photo. This is also true that, while oversizing you actually do damage to your photo details.

In my opinion, its just a waste of your valuable disk space. So always use perfect camera app for your camera with perfect optical capacity. I always laugh when someone claims capturing that amazing 13mp photo with CHD. :laugh:

Phew.....!!! :D (Posting this at least 3825th times :laugh: lol) This is only for educational purpose.

I found kitkat 4.4 launchers from some threds, replaced them with new updates which worked perfect when tested. :good:

Go on! Try it if you want to explore new launcher. This is only Launcher, Additional apps are not included.

There is no caller-id issue possible in this rom, if you have not flashed anything else over it.
[Micromax A116] desipunk:
Yeah, I have just removed the quoted text... I flashed nothing else other than the 4.2 Camera app. Dont know what;s wrong?
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
I dont see any reason for this issue, with or without camera app flash. Looks like some corrupted download rom or faulty flash.

Take nandroid backup and reflash the rom with fresh rom download. Wipe only dalvik cache and reboot (No full wipe required)

If this does not work try, flashing with Full Wipe again.

If you download the rom, verify the MD5 Checksum Value properly just to be sure.

[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
This is not swiftkey or swype keyboard. This is Google Keyboard and it is global version, which may not have Rupee symbol. You may workaround with supplimental apps available in playstore.

What do you mean by "apps detect locality of US"? The default language is English (United States), not changeable to Hindi as rom does not have "Hindi" Language or keyboard.

If you wish to use Hindi you may try third party app. Opening post already gives hint as "Use with any Universal Language with this "tested ok" small app (not included in rom)" ***Nothing is guaranteed that rom will work fully in Hindi. Use at your own risk.

After using it for few more days and analyzing, I have found that caller ID issue is because of the way number is saved in the phonebook.

If a number is saved with a "0" before it or with the country code and the call is coming without those prefix then, caller's name is not showing because of mismatching. Though never felt this issue before in any other phone or ROM.

Not able to Backup with TWRP v2.6.3.0

I have installed this ROM. Everything works fine. However, When I try to take Backup with TWRP v2.6.3.0, an Error "can not create folder" is generated and backup is terminated. Even done "fix permissions" in TWRP without any success.

This have emerged only after installation of this ROM. Otherwise I had been taking Backups of other ROMs with the same TWRP version.

When in TWRP change the name of the backup(available when making a backup) from auto-generate to any other name eg- 'test'. You should be able to take a backup after that.
