Warranty issue

I purchased this phone one month ago. I want to root it and install custom roms. But my concern is, if I root my phone then take back up of the original rom with CWM recovery and after some time reinstall the original rom and unroot then will I be able to claim warranty?

Voice command using bluetooth headset on Colours A120

Hello Everyone,

I am using re-store RS-E100 with my Micromax Canvas 2 Colours A120 and am facing some issues with Voice dialing.

I am using an application Bluetooth launch and have linked the click on my Bluetooth headset to com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity.

When I click the end/ answer key on my Bluetooth headset for the 1st time (or after reboot), it works like charm; however when i finish up a call and then try to bring up the Voice command window for the next time, it never comes up until I reboot.

I am not sure what the reason for this issue is and would appreciate any help rendered.

Thanks...

Thanks for S4 ROM, but a few issues

Hi Sitharthan.

I have installed the Samsung S4 ROM on my MMX Colours; however I am unable to find the option to enable multiwindow.

I also tried an app from Play store named Multi Window Manager, but still was unable to use the multiwindow option.

I assume that this ROM is with mutiwindow or am I missing a point here?

Other issue that I've found is until you enable the touch sound from profile you'll not receive the touch vibrations as well.

I'll let you know should I face any further issues, as I plan to use it atleast for next 3-4 days.

Waiting for your response regarding multiwindow.

Thanks...

I don't know why MultiWindow is not working as i dint test this rom till now... But if you want to use MultiWindow you can install XMultiWindow app which needs Xposed Framework to work so please install that app before installing XMultiWindow. Fully working on the stock rom tested by me... It a very easy tool you may test it if you want MultiWindow on your Phone ....ENJOY!!!!!

Regarding CWM recovery

Hi sitharthan, Thank you for the wonderful thread and all the ROMS and mostly your service provided here...I have been getting an error while flashing CWM recovery. I have flashed many roms and recoveries on Samsung & MMX mobiles but with this MMX A120 mobile I am facing the issue.. Could you please help me where I had gone wrong.

1) I have rooted the mobile with FramaRoot

2) I have installed Mobile Uncle tools Ver - 2.9.5

3) I have downloaded both Carliv and CWM recoveries links in 1st Page.... and pasted them in the root of SD card.

4) From mobile uncle tools I have tapped recovery and tried CWM recovery and after getting the option of boot into recovery..and Pressing OK...all i see is Android with RED TRIANGLE and NO COMMAND Error...This happened with both the recoveries.....Would be thankful if you could guide me..
[Micromax A120 Canvas 2 Colors] sitharthan:
Please make sure that your stock recovery is working properly, if not you should flash the stock ROM using sp tools.

Re:CWM Recovery

Thank you for your quick reply sitharthan, I have just flashed the Stock ROM provided by Sk.D.... using SP tools and flashing was successful. After repeating all the steps again for CWM recovery, this time the NO COMMAND error has gone but still the image of Android with RED TRIANGLE appears...After pressing power key it shows only stock recovery.. I think CWM or CARLIV recoveries have failed to install...Unable to find out the reason for that.. Should I flash only the Stock recovery provided by Sk.D to make sure STOCK Recovery is working properly as you said...?? Thank you once again

Adding init.d feature on stock ROM!!!!!!!!!!

Added how to check or enable init.d feature in stock ROM of a 120 to to use more init.d features THREAD #6

EXPLAINING INIT.D : Init.d scripts can do all the things a cpu app can do like SetCPU and more. The advantage is not having a cpu app always running in the background and on boot. This eliminates all chances of bugs that sometimes stem from cpu apps. You'll also save some battery by not having a cpu app always running to maintain your set values.

Init.d scripts execute commands as if they were entered into a terminal. These commands modify the value of parameters that control your device's behaviour. Scripts are much more flexible than cpu apps and give end users more power to tweak and optimize their device as they see fit. Scripts are very small, fast, clean, and bug free if written properly.

Build.prop tweaks coming soon(UNDER TESTING)

[Sony Xperia ZR] Jack_R1:
You've probably seen a ton of complaints on the bad battery life after KitKat upgrade. Google Services is seen at 90+% in battery stats, and the battery is discharging very quickly.

Factory reset is reported to cure the problem. Many are disabling Google Location services. There's also a workaround suggested by Sony, to disable backup and interest-based ads, or uninstall the latest Google Services.

[edit Jul-1-2014]

New Google Play Services 5.0 is now out, and its APK can be downloaded and installed just by searching for it in Google. It's reported to cure the problem for some, temporarily or permanently. It's recommended to try it first, before going with the suggestion below.

[previous post contents starting here]

However, there's no need to resort to the above, a much "lighter" solution may work. I've attempted it on my father's ZR and it worked.

Thanks to grim_ripper for mentioning steps that I forgot.

What needs to be done:

1. Go to Settings / Security / Device Administrators, disable Android Device Manager, if enabled.

2. Go to Settings / Apps, disable Google Play Services. It'll ask you to uninstall all updates, agree to it. After disabling it, some of other phone services might crash. Don't mind it.

3. This step might not be required according to the feedback from grim_ripper, however I'll list it "just in case": press "Clear data", or "Control data usage" and then "Clear all data". Make sure that in the Google Play Services app page, it's listed as disabled and has 0kB data usage.

4. Re-enable Google Play Services. Hangouts will immediately ask for its upgrade, get into Google Play Store and upgrade it.

5. Reboot the phone. You should see no crashes at this point.

6. In case you want Android Device Manager to function - go to Settings / Security / Device Administrators and enable it.

That's it, Google Play Services battery usage will be back to normal, and battery life seems even improved over JellyBean.

[edit Jul-13-2014]

The fix might stick for some, and some will find the battery drain coming back after several days. I'm over a month with it, and everything is still fine. However, the results are mixed.
[Sony Xperia ZR] grim_ripper:
I confirm that this works, I didn't even clear data.Just disabled android device manager, uninstall google play services, enabled android device manager, re-install play services and finally reboot
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jack_R1:
Thank you, I completely forgot about Android Device Manager blocking the app disable. With your permission, I'll update the instructions.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Tommylee567:
I have just tried that thing you posted, will see how the results are in a few days.

One thing I noticed after upgrading to KK is night time for about 8 hours the battery drains 10% while in JB 4.3 it drains about 20% or more.

But the usage draining is similar to JB in KK. Will see if this thing works. Don't like to go to barebones CM11 cause I will be missing on the many features of the phone.

Let's see :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] eljibZR:
It s working here too!

At first, I didn't even thought I had a problem but I looked in the processes and saw this f... Google service running.

Now my batterie last even better than when I was on 4.3.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZR] grim_ripper:
No Problem. I found out that this method only works as long as you don't reboot the phone after the fix, otherwise you'll need to do the whole process again. Mine went well until I waited till my battery was fully discharged before charging, hence forcing a reboot which play services started misbehaving again
[Sony Xperia ZR] grim_ripper:
I just realized a new battery drain problem, the Xperia social services keeps draining my problem
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jack_R1:
Oh yes, I have all these disabled. Perhaps this is why I had to restart the phone a couple of times already (changing SIM cards back and forth), and the original Google Services problem didn't come back.
[Sony Xperia ZR] goateye:
I confirm that it works. At least for a week or so - after that the GogglePlayServices problem appeared again....
[Sony Xperia ZR] Lemmi1:
Dont helps in my case too.

At first it seems that it works, but after a day the google services are again over 75 prozent or so.

Thinking of going back to 4.3 or hoping that a fix will come soon.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ujangns:
Is it necessary to factory reset after update to kit kat to encounter the battery drain problem?
[Sony Xperia ZR] hans3103:
I had these problems and the only save cure is to disable the location services. Some times you would think a solution helps but stucked with an empty Phone suddely is a bad thing.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Lemmi1:
Is something known of a fix from Google for the google services?

I ask cause since yesterday evening the akku works normal in my case. Dont see the google services as first in line of accu consumption like before. Seems that everything works fine again.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ujangns:
After I disabled the location service I see the android system in the second line. And the google services almost at the bottom line. The battery usage still not very good.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jack_R1:
Been through several reboots by now, everything enabled, location is used, the problem didn't return, on both mine and my father's phones.

The only thing worth noting is my phone configuration - not rooted, STAMINA mode disabled, Low battery mode disabled, Queue background data disabled, Location-based WiFi enabled.

Waiting patiently for the next Sony update.
[Sony Xperia ZR] moolash:
OK, the method seems to be obvious.

Does it need to be repeated after every reboot?

I also do not understand why installing the latest Google Play (after removing it the way it is written here) is not bringing the problem back .

Thanks anyway.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jack_R1:
By the looks of it, the issue might be caused by user data being present already in Google Services since before the KitKat upgrade, but this is some type of data that's not necessarily present once it's deleted. Maybe some sort of duplication / overloading of data from multiple places, and this changes the order of loading.
[Sony Xperia ZR] rabe3ab:
one word: AMAZING

after this all the lagging of UI and keyboard is removed.

I was intending to install CM11, but after this fix I think I will stay with stock ROM
[Sony Xperia ZR] SocalTeknique:
Ok this worked well for a couple of days including the UI lag fix but now Play services is destroying my battery again. I'm fed up with my ZR (Bluetooth issues and all) Just ordered a Nexus 5 yay!
[Sony Xperia ZR] Jack_R1:
New Google Play Services 5.0 is out, if it didn't reach you yet - you can install it. It stops the battery drain.
