Micromax A56 help!!!!

hello experts,
first of all sorry for creating new thread, but cant able to locate the right place to pu my query.
i recently got Micromax A56 android phone.
I purchased it just for its awesome looks at such a low price and dont know much technicalities.
i am facing bit of problems, please help me
1. when playing music the music stops suddenly after playing for about 2minutes.
2.now the games like angry birds do not start, earlier it was working fine.
though both of the above prob are solved for the time being when i clear the app data in settings.
3. i installed the go launcher in phone memory. go launcher is working fine but now when i browse net with android browser or dolphin it seems to hang a lot, kinetics scrolling not working fine. plus when i type messages sometimes i cant get the keyboard popped up.
my phone memory shows 52mb free
and rom shows 25mb free
please help me to overcome these issues.
do i really need to root my phone to get over these issues or i can do without it?
please do reply.

Probably ur ram usage is high. Nd first of all remove the go launcher and install adw ex it uses very less ram. Go launcher is a memory hog. Use ram manager app from play store it works well. Remove every optimization app and task killers installed. Use advanced task killer.
Use sd maid app to clear up garbage in the system.
Heavy memory games will hang a alot.
Use boat browser mini instead of dolphin.
U will surely notice diffrence.
BEST OF LUCK

If u want to increase the ram u have to be rooted.
Sent from my A56 using xda premium

Yes that's right
For my opinion
Just use stock launcher app it will help.
Other use opera mini
If using any live wallpaper use simple image
If using go locker disable it use stock lock
If using Facebook app don't use it just use stock browser because it occupy more than 30mb ram
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

@anshubham
thanks for replyn
i read ur thread in development section where u mentioned that u have go launcher installed on ur device, isnt it creating problems for u?
why u asking me to not to use it.?
the ram manager app you mentioned requires root access.
that means the root is the only solution for my problem?
moreover many rooting options are discussed between you and @imetal,
please tell me if in case i want to root my devise finally, what sure shot method i shud use.
i wud also request you to please guide me as what shud i do after rooting my device in order to free up more n more ram space.
i mean you already rooted ur devise and u r in a better position to tell all those stuff afterall i dont want to make that blunder of deleting MLABS LAUNCHER like u did...lol.
so i wud request you to:
1. tell me one sure shot method for rooting.
2. files and apps which i can delete safely in order to free up ram.
3. if i make go launcher as system app, does it make any difference imean will it work smoothly then?
thanks for patience reading.......dont forget to reply.

@anshubham
nd one more thing i wud like to ask.
u increased your ram using swapper app.
is it working fine for you, i mean is there any hang like problem sometime.
does this really harms sd card?
just share your opinion and experience.
how much memory is shared on sd card.
and finally i want to ask one last question which might seem foolish but still i will ask:
which brand of sd card are u using?
i mean i have to get a new one for my a56 and m confused between samsung and sandisk?
just asking for ur opinion.
thanks again

Newbies Help...
@sheetalk937
FIRST OF ALL BUY SANDISK sdcard 8 or 16gb not less than class 6 buy class 10 if available.:victory:
I'm not using Go Launcher(using it previously)..as i'm rooted i freezed those system app that restarts themselves continuosly like maps, talk, streetview, mlabslauncher, fmradio, etc.
I'm Currently Using ADW Launcher Ex(converted it to system app via Link2SD app) which is not causing any problem at all. I have used almost every launcher and found this one the most useful and it also does not require more RAM usage in A56(it uses about 8mb ram). The other one I like is Launcher Pro.
When using swapper it doesn't hang a bit. I'm Using 512mb extra RAM(sdcard space) After increasing RAM i'm able to play temple run and other heavy ram games. Like Road Warrior, etc. NFS SHIFT works without increasing RAM but sometimes Fore Closes.
Swapping method sure harms sdcard but the effect will be shown after a long time..(dont worry...we'll buy a new one then.)
U can delete stock apps "AFTER ROOTING" like facebook, TOI, teenpatti, mibuddy, etc...don't delete anything else.
After rooting u'll have alot of options available to make ur fone speedy and according to your style and needs like good ram management using root apps, titanium backup, overclocking(set cpu),,,etc etc etc.
For Rooting your device...search the net about rooting information its pros and cons. Then root your device (first learning is nessesary.)
for rooting follow this guide...by imetal1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870067
For increasing RAM follow this...

To set up adb follow this.
http://androidforums.com/micromax-a56/603700-tutorial-how-set-up-adb.html
This time i have almost 40 apps installed on my fone and still having 70mb internal storage free and about 40mb RAM free.
BEST OF LUCK. :good: :good:

@anshubham
thanks again!!!!!
now that makes a complete rooting guide atleast at basic level for me and all other noobies.
one thing u mentioned about freezing ie "as i'm rooted i freezed those system app that restarts themselves continuosly like maps, talk, streetview, mlabslauncher, fmradio, etc. ", please explain how (procedure) can we freeze such apps when we r rooted?
also tell one last thing:
1. whats the problem if i decide to buy 4gb sandisk card?
2. where from did u get ur card, i mean did you got online, ebay......
is there any trusted seller who supply genuine sandisk cards as lot of fakes of sandisk are available we cant even differentiate them by looks.
thanks for all your support.....

U cn freeze apps by using link2sd app from play store its free. Just install it
Click(hold) on the app (like maps)
Select freeze.
Now its freezed..the freezed app will nt b shown in menu.
It will not restart again unless u unfreeze it and will nt eat up ram.
I buy sdcards from flipkart.
If u'll buy 4gb card u'll get less storage 8gb must be the starting sdcard as it will be gud enough to hold the data of apps. Lastly it depends on ur usage.
And cards dont come duplicated they are genuine buy from flipkart. They are cheap too.

I'll suggest you to buy 8gb class 6 or 10 sandisk mem.card

what is rom dump? is it the copy of rom?
can i flash the copy of rom of a56 available online to my device.
where wud i get the unrooted copy of rom for mmx a56.?
how can we flash those rom to my device?
am asking this so as to restore my device to factory settings whenever required say to claim warranty.
what are the other methods to backup or bring the devise to factory status when needed.?
will the factory reset function of my device wud be able to do that if suppose i delete few apps like teen patti etc after rooting. will the factory reset button bring back those deleted apps.

Deleted apps will nt be restored after factory reset...for rooted rom check the all things thread.
To get the warranty back just unroot via superoneclick.

@anshubham
Hey, can we replace stock apps for SMS, Contacts and Dialer? I think they are eating up much RAM even while not being used
I have Handcent SMS and GoSMS. Can I just freeze the stock mms.apk using link2sd? Would it crash my phone?
I think its only the same logic as replacing the launcher. Please help man.

hey someone pls reply to my query
if @anshubham is not available, some other expert pls reply.

Sorry for the late reply..
dont freeze any system service(dialer, sms, storage,etc)
we dont have any unrooted rom yet. u can just flash the rooted rom and unrrot it to get the unrooted rom.
u can freeze maps, streetview, mlabslauncher, fmradio, gtalk, gmail, email.( i've frozen these). USE ADW LAUNCHER EX as it will use very less ram because when u open running services it will not be shown there, when u'll go to background services it will be there eating up 7-8 mb which is very low as compared to others.
don't replace sms app i dont know what will happen..but don't do that becuz its a service too. It will not eat up more memory. First root ur device and use ADW LAUNCHER EX then u'll see the diffrence. i have always upto 40 mb free everytime from the day m using ADW.
After rooting u can remove Mibudy, mistore, TOI, FAcebook ,etc.
HOPE THIS HELPS...!!!

Hey buddy, I have replaced practically everything on this phone :laugh:
Installed GoLauncher to replace Mlabs.launcher
Contapps to replace Dialer, Contacts and SMS (huge savings) But mind you Contapps has some bug which eats away a lot of battery.
I froze every system app which I have installed replacements for. I have 50-60MB of free RAM at idle times beat that! Just make sure you backup them using Titanium. (Even tried uninstalling few but it went horribly wrong for the phone.apk)
One tip though, never fiddle with the launcher I lost control of the phone quite a few times, thankfully I had Advanced Task Killer to run on bootup. I managed to switch tasks and launch Titanium backup from there phew! saved my life!

thankyou guyz!!!!!
thanks for ur replies
tell me if i need to update the superuser app after i rooted using unlockroot.
also tell which app is best for its purpose RAM OPTIMISER,or SMART RAMBOOSTER, or ADVANCE TASK KILLER.
also pls help me choose between DROIDWALL, LBE SECURITY AND ENETTRAFFIC.
rest is fine
thanks

[Q] Help needed in Cyanogenmod 10.1

I have galaxy tab 2 wifi p3110. I rooted it and installed CyanogenMod ROM 10.1 on it. I am satisfied with it. However, I would like to change 2 things.
I prefer Google Play Music than that stock Apollo music app. I cant find a way to uninstall that app.
Does uninstalling it affects the CM RoM?
Also, I like the background of the app drawer to be transparent not black bcoz I dont like that Background. So, please help me out..

1) go to root/system/apps, find apollo music apk and delete it..
And it will not affect the rom..
For other system apps I suggest you to use app like root freezer, freeze the system app first to see weather it affects the functionality or not and then uninstall it(the app ahs the opt to do that)
2) every launcher has that feature :silly:

its very easy bro!
follow these steps!
1. download root uninstaller from play store
2. open it, when it asks for root access, allow it!
3. find whichever app you want to delete!
bravooooooooooo!!! u deleted it! ))
:good::good:

Rooot uninstaller works too.
So does Titanium Backup.
As for transparent back you can get nove launcher.
go to nova settings> app drawer and then choose desired transparency.

Touchwiz 4.2 add on for CM10.1

Alright i downloaded the leaked s3 jb rom and started extracting all the apps and the launcher i wanted from it to find out they wont install so im just wondering if there is any way to force the apps to install or any thing that might help
Edit: i changed the title since i found a better solution

Well i thought i almost got somewhere lol. Does anyone here think they can get this to install on the samsung infuse??
" http://www.mrmad.de/mrmaddon-jellywiz-edition-fur-galaxy-nexus-2208 "
it wont install because it says
Free ram available: 134055
Free ram required: 171160
Edit:
Alright i decided to extract the zip file and in the config it says:
[CYANOGENMOD AND STOCK ROMS SUPPORT]
###############################################################
MULTIPLATTFORM=no
###############################################################
(yes,no)
*It gives to the "modders" the posibility to add and indentify
the resources for "stocks" and "cyanogenmods" bases by only
adding the "CMOD#" prefix to the cyanogenmod files. Note that
we'll need to add it ONLY when we need to specify differents
versions of the same file and if the file is compatible with
both of them, we don't have to add anything. If the process
detects two versions of the same file it will determine which
one is the correct plattform parsing the "/system/build.prop"
looking for the "ro.build.host=cyanogenmod" string. Remember
that it would have an impact on the application time depending
on the amount of files included.
If you don't need this feature, you must keep it disabled.
e.g
>In the morph proccess, you can add in the same folder:
/MORPH/Phone.apk/CMOD#resources.arsc (only for cyanorom)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/resources.arsc (only for stock)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/CMOD#classes.dex (only for cyanorom)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/classes.dex (only for stock)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/res/drawable/blablabla.xml (for both)
/MORPH/Phone.apk/res/drawable/blublublu.png (for both)
etc..
>And the same for the XTRA files:
/XTRAS/system/etc/CMOD#blablabla.xml (only for cyanorom)
/XTRAS/system/etc/blablabla.xml (only for stock)
/XTRAS/data/app/CMOD#blablabla.apk (only for cyanorom)
/XTRAS/data/app/blablabla.apk (only for stock)
/XTRAS/data/blublublu.xml (for both)
etc..
Anyone think they can make it work??
Or try to show "teach" me how to make it work?

Umm u should Google it if ur looking for a port for those apps. If u are wanting just the theme umm u can most likely pull apps off my remics-jb ROM that has the themed icons.
Do this, download and unzip this ROM.

Go to system/app in file explorer on that ROM u downloaded and u will be able to tell what app is themed as you look at them. Then put the app u want in ur original system/app using a file manager with root. Then reboot. Its ok if u replace the app

I doubt it. Tapping to turn on is a kernel feature, not anything to do with a launcher.

is it compatible with note 3 n900 octa?

And is it much better than touchwiz?

3 No, it wont use S Widgets
4 NO, it wont work.
Its a nice Launcher. after install launcher you must install the Lock Screen.
The icons are cuted by the Dock, and to fix the image relation seems like we have to change the app DPI to 400. Remember that the LG G2 have onscreen buttons.
ill try with the DPI change, and gonna post some pictures.
the other thing is that the weather widget says it needs to be updated and i cant find the way to doit.
