DarkL ROM v.1.6 working on Micromax Canvas A120

Yes, DarkL ROM v.1.6 is working on Micromax A120. I used the following method.

THIS SEQUENCE IS IMPORTANT!!!

I've used ClockworkMod Recovery wherever mentioned. I've tested this on my Micromax Canvas 2 Colours A120 (4GB variant), which previously had CleanKat v.3.0 ROM.

1. Download Stock JB ROM and flash via recovery, AFTER following other instructions regarding its installation. Here's the link for the ROM and its installation instructions:

Here I would recommend saving the apks for the "TouchPal Keyboard". I liked it and know

I have it in DarkL.

3. Download DarkL ROM v.1.6 for Wiko base and flash via recovery, AFTER following other instructions regarding its installation. Here's the link for the ROM and its installation instructions:

It's for Wiko base, so you need Wiko in the first place. :)

It's not rooted, but you could flash the "perfect-root.zip" via recovery for root. I can't find the link for that right now.

Comments on ROM:

1. Works great with all the lovely designs and details. It's still not polished though. The "Data Connection" and "Long Press to Record" Quick settings get cut off. There should be a greater left-margin for the time and date in the notification bar.

2. All data on internal memory was deleted. Not sure if its the ROM or maybe I did something wrong. I had flashed all of these ROMs and the perfect-root.zip for internal memory. Now when I go to Recovery and try "Install from internal memory" it shows an error. Can't find "/emmc/" or something like that. However all read-write tasks work fine and I copied, pasted, moved, and duplicated files to find that everything is working just fine.

3. I've changed the calculator to the CM version found in CleanKat by using its apk (which I had saved beforehand). I've updated ES File Explorer and Google Keyboard (now it's smoother there are two Hindi options- regular and compact). Play Store got updated by itself, BUT not up to the latest version. I know this because I'd saved the apk for the latest version. Also, I replaced the themed "Messaging" app with the original Google Messenger. Sure it isn't "dark" but it's nice none the less. Using "Tinted Translucent Statusbar(Xposed Module)" adds more to the Materialistc design.

4. I changed the superuser app with SuperSU. My preference.

5. I loved "List View", "Perfomance" and "TweakBox". I'd still like a guide for "Performance", even though I managed the minimum CPU manipulation.

6. Can anyone please give me the link for the gallery replacement zip? I searched high and low but could not find it.

7. I use a Gravity Box tweak which allows the top-most region to be used like a scroll bar for brightness. This does not synchronize with the brightness bar in the notification panel. Not a big issue though, as its still manageable. The "material design" switches for WiFi and Bluetooth are fine and are of the correct size (or so it seems), but these switches are stretched nearly everywhere else. They still work too, but are unpleasant for the eyes.

I'll try and add screenshots later. I'm still looking for the gallery zip, as my copy got deleted from the internal memory. Please post the link here if you find it. Thank you.
