4. Android OS is Gingerbread v2.3.6
5. Games worked great no lagging issues

1. Screen doesn't wake up after call end[Solved]
2. No ICS update yet
3. Msg app doesnt work in landscape mode...[Solved by me]
Rooting Karbonn A9 via CWM Recovery
Note: I may not held responsible for any damage to your device.
Do this at your own risk.
First you need PC with Windows Xp/7, Mac, etc.( better if use windows 7)
Download drivers, CWM, AIO Flasher, Su from link at the end. Copy Su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip to ur SD card and insert it in ur phone.
Enter in Fastboot mode by pressing Vol Up+Power button(Green screen appears)
Then connect ur phone to PC. Open Device manager look for ADB Interface & click it.
If u found Fastboot Interface(Google USB ID),then its OK.
But if not then update installed driver by drivers provided by me. Then run AIO flasher [For running this you will need latest version of Microsoft .net(dot net), which can be easily found on google].
Then select recovery option.
Then select file(CWM Recovery) that u downloaded from link given at the end.
Then flash it.
Congrats u have successfully flashed/installed CWM Recovery.
Then remove battery,
then unplug USB cable from phone. Then press Vol Up+Power.
Keep pressing till u see red screen. Release both buttons and press Home button(1st soft button on Karbonn A9).
Then u will see faded black screen with some options in pink color.
Then scroll to the option "apply update from sdcard" by volume buttons then select it by pressing Power button.
Then select "choose zip from sdcard" and find "Su-bin-3.1.1-arm-signed.zip" wherever u put it, select it and select Yes option.
Congrats!!!! You have successfully rooted ur A9.
Wait!!!!! You still need somethings to access superuser permissions...........
Download Superuser3-beta4.apk from end of this page and install it. Then download SuperSU and SuperSU PRO from end of this page. Install SuperSU first then PRO. Open SuperSU and update binary msg will pop up, update it. Again a msg will pop up for superuser permission...........allow/grant it. Then binaries will be successfully installed. Then uninstall Superuser3-beta4.apk.
Here.......you have been granted to use rooted apps on your A9.

[Discontinued][APP][MOD][CM9]Phonemod for cm9 PICO v2.1

Link to website here.
Note: This might work for other devices. Test at your own risk.
Does not work on evervolv. Certain bugs are experienced.
Let me begin by saying how popular the HTC Explorer (codename Pico) is. Almost anyone who wants a budget smartphone has one. Its simply the best phone out there in the price range. Even the hardware specs aren't that bad. It is very much capable of running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, although unofficially an unofficially ported version of Cyanogenmod 9.1.
Cyanogenmod 9.1 on an mdpi device such as the Explorer poses some problems/bugs caused due to scaling down of the graphics. One such problem is the caller id screen where by default, it is displayed as shown below in the attachments.
As you can see the caller picture is cut off by half and looks really ugly. I have developed a fix for this and now the caller id will display the full contact picture as shown in the picture.
v2.1 changelog (see attached image)
Added Enable status bar option during calls (Useful to check messages or other notifications during call).
Added Disable lights out option (Does not turn off light when near proximity sensor).
Added Exit to home on end call option (Disable going to call log after every call).
Download:
v1 Mediafire link.
v2.1 Mediafire link.
Installation instructions:
Download the zip file above.
Copy it to a folder on your SD card.
Reboot into recovery.
Toggle signature verification off if necessary.
Choose the option install zip from recovery.
Browse to the zip you downloaded and select install.
Reboot.
Manual installation:
Using a root file explorer delete Phone.apk in /system/app directory
Extract contents of the zip file you downloaded and find the Phone.apk file (modded).
Paste in /system/app
Set permissions as -rw -r -r
Reboot.
Development discontinued. But mod still works.
Will this work on Evervolv ICS ROM for the explorer?
I am on cm9 with ungaze script. My system part ion is showing only 40kb as free. I tried through recovery, which ended with no signal.
Unable to paste modded Apk due to low memory. Any other way to get this

Well, you can try the following.
1. Try flashing the v2.1 zip. Updated in first post.
or
2. Make sure there is no unwanted apps in system other than cm9 ones. then try both flash and manual. In manual, once deleted the Phone.apk, restart and then paste the new phone.apk
or
3. Make the latest lirakoa install in this order. wipe everything (factory reset), go to mounts and storage and format /boot and /system, install lirakoa zip, install gapps, install google now (i usually use it but its ur choice), install v2.1 Phonemod, restart. Then you can install ungaze or int2ext (I prefer s2e as its safe) and then restore form titanium backup all your user apps.
Just flashed and it works great! However, I get a FC on selecting "Dialpad Settings", otherwise its perfect. Im running Evervolv ICS ROM.

Bug report--- It appears that the CWM detects the EMMC internal storage and not the external SD card. also functions such as dalvik cache clear seems to make the cwm hang and reboot is not working after doing back up or installing zip files.

Works great on my Note 3 (4.3 stock rooted), no FC's so far. On my Note 8 (4.2.2 civato's ROM) the only issue I have is when I hit the home button and go back to the home screen, the keyboard pops up. Minor annoyance but so far so good.
Working on N4 along with wallpapers and Voice Search.
Thnx!

Google Search Force Close fix
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.

That didn't work. I can search with English UK, but if I change it back to US it still force closes.
Edit: Change your voice to UK, then go to offline speech recognition and delete and reinstall the English (US) recognition pack. Do a search as UK, then change it to US. It works, and "ok google" will work from your homescreen.
Great to hear that it works for most of u

App is good works fine
No lag - fast command action
As i am getting this soft keys i though to update my hardware keys with gravity box for some other purpose but as i change the setting of my hardware keys even the softkeys works the same so anyways its just good for a new feel.
But nice app!

It works try reboot device
Else download floating Softkeys *ROOT* from play store.
You can manage
1. Size of buttons
2. Gaps between buttons
3. Transparency of buttons
4. Floating of buttons
But you will not get the feel as you can get in this app.
**try at your own risk**
