[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
was afraid of that ..your going to need the kitkat RUU

I'll look for it

your other option is to unlock the bootloader @ htcdev.com

flash custom recovery

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-m7wls.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

and flash a Rom

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_sprint_3-04-651-2-zip/

To get the file to your phone

TWRP / Advanced / Sideload - swipe to sideload

From PC adb / fastboot folder

you use

adb sideload name-of-rom.zip

make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot

Sorry im no help and have no idea what the hell im doing :/ this is why I dont root my phone. somehow this one still got messed up.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
I edited my post look up

and don't make new threads over the same problem
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VirtualPride:
So before I do this is it smarter to just take the phone to a Sprint store or best buy where I got it and make them handle it before I unlock the bootlader?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VirtualPride:
Thanks i'll come back if they cant help me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VirtualPride:
So I went to best buy and got the new phone today. Its currently on android 4.1.2 Can you help me update it to the latest without me bricking it again?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
Don't install any mods this time and update via OTA as normal

Make sure your boot loader status is locked and s on

I assume you don't want s-off?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Yeah you should be able to take the OTA no problem ... the first time was just bad luck i suppose. you should be fine
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VirtualPride:
Updated to Android 4.3 and Sense 5.0 no issues. Thanks for all the help. (:

Frequently Asked Questions

1) My GPS is not connecting in India/out of India. What to do?

Answer: Users of Version 1.2 and previous version, must FLASH THIS OR THIS PATCH for missing network file in full rom.

Answer: GPS works perfect in Bhaarat (India) without any workaround, Tested ok. The basic GPS+EPO setup is explained in this post...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52296580&postcount=32

For more information about downloading EPO Satellites Assistance Data can be found in this post...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48689541&postcount=89

=======================================

2) Compass Sensor (Automatic Map rotation) is not working as my phone supports it?

Answer: Compass works in all other Clones of Micromax A116 but not only in A116. Micromax have made stupid move by asking to remove compass to Tinno Mobile, the original manufacturer of the phone. GOD knows how much million rupees they saved. May be approx Rs.40 for each phone.

Anyways, for non-micromax clones a small compass patch is made and is available in this post.

=======================================

3) Should I try any other modified kernel?

Answer: This rom is Optimized to extreme level to give you best performance. This smartly tweaked rom comes with Stock kernel which have confirmed advantage of No Bugs, Reliability, Good Battery Backup and Superb Power performance. It is advised that you try this rom with included stock kernel for few days and then if you are not satisfied, you are free to flash any kernel you want. Custom kernel can be flashed but results are not always as expected. If you face any issues on other kernel, I cannot help you and you should contact kernel developer for further help.

EDIT: Just to add, heavy games like Asphalt8 and NOVA3 runs like butter. :D And most of the gamers are getting more than 5 hours of game time in single charge which is unbelievable but true. I am not gamer, but other gamers have confirmed it.

Before downloading please check first day Bugs:

-- Minor 1) Kernel Number not showing. Who cares? Its same stock used in SLD. Will fix sooner.

-- Minor 2) Auto Brightness is too low, Setup manually at lowest. Will fix sooner.

-- Major 1) GPS Fix working in GPSTEST but Google MAPS no working. Will fix on priority

If you find any other bugs, please report me with LOGCAT. I will try my best, but please dont expect immediate fix. It all matters how much time we get for this social work.

Hello,

Only ask questions about this rom if you intend on using it. If not, please concentrate on finding another rom elsewhere.

If you're a competitor and are not here to help, please don't post.

Also, thread cleaned. OP, if people are intending to use your rom, they have the right to ask valid questions. If you answer them respectfully, perhaps there won't be issues.
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
thanks cmahendra. i m using it right now. so far so gud. very responsive n best for daily use. thanks :D
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:

Download ROM and store on Internal or External SD

Start TWRP/CWM Recovery Mode

Take full backup in recovery mode.

Do Factory Reset FULL WIPE [Warning: Data will be deleted)

Install ROM

Clear Dalvik Cache & Reboot Phone.

DONE! Enjoy... :D​

Thanks for trying this rom. Grateful. :good: Please post your details review if possible. Thanks in advance.
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
Hi C Mahendra,

Thanks for a good rom AGAIN !!!!...

A couple of things i noticed ,, maybe you can help...

1st - What launcher have you put in ? I want to modify it and not able to with Xposed Gel.

2nd - App drawer -- the apps you provided in the rom are right in the start and then they are followed by whatever apps i restored from Titanium Backup or installed from Play store. Is there a way to sort ALL the apps Alpahbetically ?

EDIT : Problem is solved. Downloaded GELauncher. Am now using it comfortably.... Even customisation to launcher is good.

Will revert later with more feedback

Thanks

Greg

[Micromax A116] vaibhavmv:
This ROM was created in 2014 ,is there any other ROM near good performance which can be used until there i new release of XLD ROM ??

bec. all i see is trash Rom's from Sai ,which he forgets after posting and ever links not works .
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Sorry but It is not good to discuss other developers roms. so please avoid it next time.

Generally I update my stock roms on specific periods and fortunately I still have A116 with me but due to office work, which is only source to earn bread, I could not work recently but very soon my tweaked stock roms will become more latest and stronger which are usable for work and fun :)
[Micromax A116] vaibhavmv:
OK ,sorry for confusion .I just wanted to know if any other Rom is good to try .

We will be waiting for update ,no rush :)

Waiting for ur new ROMs!!
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Great! Its simple rom with no eye-candy features but strong enough for biggames and daily useable rom with longer battery for business and play.

Thank you pal :)

In fact I am developing CM12.1 for other model I have. Did not think of this model for the same because I saw many people already released CM roms for A116. Recommending you to try them.
[Micromax A116] ecyaj:
Hi. I just installed your ROM and its very fast and great. But, how can I sort the apps in drawer and why I cannot install games from Play store like COC, etc and with an error "Your device isnt compatible with this version"
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Hi,

1) In XLDRom the launcher is used very basic for faster performance but you can try Nova Launcher Free version and it it light-weight launcher and have many featuers, other than sorting.

2) This rom is from April 2014 and all small or huge games released till April 2014 were running faster like hell on it. If you are trying to install or run latest games from 2016 then surely they will not work on old Hardware Specification of A116. If you see opening post there are many game reviewers who reviewed games of the time when rom was released.

All games need specific standard requirements. Buy latest phone and these new games will work on it for sure. :D

Hope this helps.

How to install using sptools

Hello Mr. Mahendra,

I am planning to install this ROM on my wife's A116 phone. Few days back I installed stock ROM. It is having "cannot connect to camera" issue. So, thought of reflashing ROM. I spotted this now and it looks promising. So, want to try. But, my current setup is without custom recovery and root. So, could you please tell, if this could be done with SPtools itself. Or please point me to some post which details about installing custom recovery. Thanks.
[Micromax A116] trynex:
Well, I could install this ROM by first installing TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery. For some time, the camera worked fine. However, after some time it again started giving the same problem of "can't connect to camera". What might be the issue? Could you (@cmahendra) please help.
[Micromax A116] rabin69x:

gaming + business rom

whats is special features for business pls explain
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
[MENTION=2035300]gregferns[/MENTION] Please post more observations of rom.

Visually, this rom have nothing special and I used original stock launcher from port. You can easily use any launcher like normal. May be you forgot to "clear default launcher app" setting :D. common thing people forget.

Yes, you are right. The apps in system/app are sorted A to Z and then data/apps are sorted A to Z. Its launchers original behaviour I did not care to change. Does not bother anyways. Better you drag icons on home panels.

bugless rom, long battery, reliability , faster performance and hundred more expectations people keep with a good rom which can be used for business. IT SHOULD NEVER FAIL YOU AT WORK. I use this rom for more than 2 days on single charge with a rock solid performance.

Gamers are not worried for battery and only interested in running heaviest game. But still they are getting highest play time of 5 to 6 hours. :D

I hope you are using this rom or at least interested. Use this rom only if you are convinced, if not there are hundred more other options :)

When will auto brightness bug fixed?
[Micromax A116] coool_dud3:
Lol, i was also working on this rom,

This rom is really fast.
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Engineer mode is removed as rom is stripped down. GPS is slow but working for some locations, will try to improve asap. No ETA.

Work in progress. Meanwhile you can use some free auto brightness adjustments apps.

Previous rom was fast but for XLD some more work was required to make it fast.

2 Sim Card issue after flashing this ROM

Network coming / going

Please help
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
No such issue at my end at least.

On the other hand i confirm the GPS locking is not happening. Tried for about 2-3 minutes in open air and it shows the satellites but it doesnt connect.

Since Mahendra is working on it, i'm waiting.

thanks

Greg
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
No such network issue but FLASH THIS BASEBAND. May be philippines baseband is not matching for you.

Before flashing take full backup from recovery mode just as precaution.

Yes the GPS is slow locking at my place and not locking in some areas. I am working on it. Please wait for a while.

You can also flash above A116i baseband (modem.img) for better network.

-- DIRTY FLASH VERSION (Data will not be deleted) (But you must take Nandroid Backup)

== Slow GPS Issue fixed, Now faster GPS Fix.

== Minor changes in tweaks, Some tweaks optimized.
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
cmahendra, I like more this rom when compared with SLD, it has more languages available, including my own, the data/time doesn't need the framework fix, and it's not so stripped as the other, which is more aimed for gaming, once again, you have exceed yourself, the boot animation is awesome.

The flashlight is a great addition, also the notebook, which is something I really appreciate, owing to the fact that this rom is more towards international users, i recommend this over the other, and that's only my opinion, thanks once again
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
TIP: One time Setup for Faster GPS Fix

TIP: One time Setup for Faster GPS Fix

1) Start Internet on wifi / 3g / 2g

2) Settings > Location Access > Select all three options as shown in Screenshot

----- Access to my Location

----- GPS Satellites

----- Wi-fi & mobile network location

3) Click on keft side on "GPS Satellites" and Select both options

----- GPS EPO assistance

----- A-GPS

Done!

Now open GpsTest app and fix satellites in Open Space. Once locked, you don't need internet for GPS fix. But do not change above settings.
[Micromax A116] Alb_trp:
After sld 1.6 I'm going to try this. Great works of you [MENTION=4448971]cmahendra[/MENTION]. Happy for you.
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
I am glad you liked the additional features and languages of XLDROM. Its extended version of SLD. :highfive:

Hi @Alb_trp Thanks a lot pal. Happy to see you too again.

Oh, you should have first tried SLD3. If not flashed this rom, I insist you to try SLD3 and feel its smoothness like Nexus 5 and power. :) Anyways if on XLDROM already, then no need. Now XLD is much more fast , updated and new features. :)
[Micromax A116] Alb_trp:
Wow. Is it so. I don't know about sld3. I'll try it first as you are telling. I hav downloaded that note3 type stuff but no idea to leave sld and so i didn't try. Have seen in some phone that guest mode could be activated with restricted apps environment. Is it possible to do such thing for our phones. Curious to know about that.
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
I'm loving this rom, and it's becoming my all time favorite, also in addition to sld I have installed nova launcher because I like it better than stock launcher, moreover I don't want to upset cmahendra, but I have installed xposed framework, and owing to some deep sleep tweak, sometimes my add ons don't work as it should but I guess this is something common to all the roms
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Ha ha ha @Alb_trp looks like you are in fix in three roms. I guess u downloaded my version of note3 only. :) And cant decide which to flash, SLD3 , XLD or NOTE3.

I will advice use SLD3 for few days without modding anything and post your performance, smoothness feedback and result about battery. Then you can try XLD. I think you will not leave SLD3 so soon :laugh:

Glad you liking it. There is no issue in installing Xposed on XLDROM. Most common modules should work perfect. People do it for icons, themes etc. thats ok.

But remember you cannot post issues about Xposed modules here, because some modules do not work in many roms. The best way is to complaint the module developer and provide them your LOGCAT report, so they will make necessary changes for compatibility of more models.
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
By dirty flash version, you mean i just download this file of 307 mb and flash it without any wipes ?? will that work ??

thanks

greg
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
Cmahendra, remember my older post regarding volume wake up, I have one module that enables that, but on the other hand, there most be a tweak on deep sleep that must disable those buttons when on idle for a long time, making it not to work as it should, this happens not to xposed stop working but most probably of some setting to disable these buttons to preserve baterry. Hence not making it to work every time however when I'm on charge, when there is not on deep sleep state these buttons are always working
[Micromax A116] tandevilz:
Can the 'OK Google' voice feature be added in the next update or as a patch??
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
Google voice works fine on this rom tried myself :)
[Micromax A116] tandevilz:
I think the you talking about pressing the button and using voice
[Micromax A116] deepesh.tickoo:
If you are using greenify then exclude xposed and all the modules from hibernation list!

That can still be done.

* Install google launcher(kk)

* Update google search to the latest from play store

* Go to google now and enable it and in its settings choose language as English US and download/update the offline speech recognisation!

* Select Google Launcher as your default launcher and enjoy the "OK Google" feature.
[Micromax A116] Viggen66:
Deepesh I thought of that but if I disable greenify is the same, as I said it must be some deep sleep setting that disable volume keys to preserve battery
[Micromax A116] deepesh.tickoo:
Try freezing greenify in titanium and then re-configuring whole Xposed installer (i.e re-installing framework files and Gravity Box from start) and then re enabling volume rocker wakeup feature in GB.

Try for some time and reply.
[Micromax A116] drketul:
awesome rom...!! thanks

I was previously using ChrizelNoteThree V3.7 on my chd. i used xld 1.2 for 3 days, but i like samsung ui so i restored CNT v3.7 backup through cwm. but still when i reboot, i get boot animation from xld 1.2..everything else got restored...but boot animation is still from xld v1.2

I just restored CNT v3.7 through cwm, did not wipe any data or anything. was i supposed to wipe data and all?? any advice

thanks
[Micromax A116] cmahendra:
Yes! Thats the idea, But I always recommend backup in recovery before dirty flashing.

Users of my roms, are using "OK Google" on almost any roms since long time with the help of this small addon. I dont recommend it for battery drainage. This info is from my Kitkandroid Rom thread.

"OK Google" works perfectly with this small OpenMic.APK Pause available, This saves battery when not required. (Check this post for screenshot of settings)

See? I have done everything so easy with such tutorials. If I am not wrong this is my 200+th tutorial post with descriptions and diagrams (screenshots). lolz.

He is talking about OK Google.

+1 Thanks a lot for the tutorial. But all this was not necessary. Latest Google Search is already added in rom.

Just installing OpenMic, will make it "OK Google" compatible :D Explained him above.

Thanks. Please dont mind. He is simply too obsessed with things out of this rom. lolz :D

Its not bootanimation. Its bootlogo. If you restore CNT from backup restore method of recovery it will not restore BOOTLOGO. I dont know how many times you switch off phone in a day. So If you can stay with it for few days its ok, else I will make flashable for CNT bootlogo for you. :)
[Micromax A116] gregferns:
thanks.... and yes, its my bad habit, i always take a backup in recovery before doing anything !!!!!!

cheers
