I request all the devs & forum members to post all the Custom ROMs, tutorials, hacks & all the stuff related to Micromax A50 in this thread!!
Is any developer make or port any custom ROM for micromax a50?
I think a custom ROM can easily be ported to this device as it got a very common chipset!!

Saw you posting somewhere about guide to root your newly bought Micromax a50

And sorry for pressing the thanks button on your post, I've turned imaged on my opera mini of, so couldn't see if I was pressing the thanks button or the reply button.LOL
For the custom ROM part, they will be out, when a geek or developer buys it.I'm searching for the original phone as that might help you too find ROMs as like all Micromax Androids, it too would be a rebranded version of any Chinese or other mobile.Example: My spice mi 310 is rebranded cellon c8093 and sells in Indonesia as csl mi 320, so I found a few custom ROMs made by some Indonesian friends.So, that might be the case with your device.
Btw, how is Aisha working? Heard it's just a rebranded iris? Try iris from Google play and leave a reply regarding this
Well, don't underestimate Indian devs
Can anyone give me full ROM dump?
I will port CWM recovery too then
I will create a facebook group for faster discussion and testing
Also there is independent forum for A50 in androidforums.com
I have developer support for Micromax A75,A85,A60, Funbook and Spice Mi-280.
If anyone uploads full ROM dump then custom ROM and new recovery coming soon
Burned from my laser torch using pencil cells
I said "Custom ROMs will start coming out when any developer buys it."
I just came to the indonesian part just regarding my device because there has been negligible development on our device by Indian Developers.That's why.
I'm also Indian and will be happy to see them at action
Hum Mei hai Hero

Btw, why are you buying Micromax a50?
The 3.1 screen is of lie resolution, poor camera, AISHA is just rebranded iris, so I don't see any reason to buy it!

i can buy it online, but my dad dont like online shopping!
and as ur saying the karbonn a7 isnt launched in india yet, and i dont want to buy a karbonn product as there is barely any service centers here, the products are not of that good quality!
micromax got a good customer support and there products have great quality too,
also the a50 looks great!
hey apple got the best mobile OS, the iOS, its fast, smooth, powerful, one can easily jailbreak(root in android slang) the device & gain control, install tweaks!
believe me iOS is just awesome!!
iOS ain't awesome, will never be

Sent from my painfully slow connection, so consider pressing thanks to provide some relief
and there is no official price announcement from karbonn about the a7,
there r rumors that the device will cost 5-6k,
i think it will be around 7-8k!!!!
It can't be 7-8k, because a9 is 8k and it had better specs, so it will be maximum 6k
And coming to"Micromax had good quality handsets"
Almost all of the Android phones by Micromax are rebranded Chinese mobiles, don't know about the service part
i experienced the service!
BTW the karbonn a9 is rs.9199!
n also i cant wait to buy a new mobile as the karbonn a7 is not launched yet!!
Ok, they were also rumors, the phone is officially released today
But still I shall pay 2k extra just for the better resolution part of a7, and the camera and powerful processor will come free

Hey guys i have A Micromax A50.I bought it from flipkart.
Resolution is kinda ok..And i think there is a problem with the touchscreen,Like xperia mini,when the device overheats(eg:when charging),the touchscreen kinda gets messed up.You'll not be able to type things properly.
Will post romdump as soon as i can.
I doubt you should go for a Micromax A50.

Yes this is the first time, as first time a OEM has released a handset with identical specs but only a different motherboard (s9081 for canvas 2) .Therioletically it is possible. But the main obsticle is that Micromax spare part are not available to 3rd party servicers .We will have to convince the sevice centre people to change the motherboard,which is not possible.Even if we are able to do so, a110q does not have a forum in xda.
Its posible but with a catch
Its possible becoz they have the same dimensions and same body and everything but are with diffrent motherboards.
If u want to change, pls contact Service Center.
The only catch is that A110 is 164g and A110Q is 168g.
So 4g diffrence for what? Consult ur service center for this
I dont think dat those people in service center would agree about it..even if it is possible also.
one of my friend bought canvas2plus.. i m trying like hell to convince him to let me open his mob and check whether the motherboard fits correctly in my canvas2 or not.. but he is just not ready to do this as removing the motherboard by third party will void his warranty,,,. and like all d (illiterate) peoples out there, he also don't trust micromax for quality.. he thinks that it may break down any moment n will have to go to service center...
And i m ready to try any canvas2+ motherboard in my canvas2 without worrying about warranty.. i used micromax q5fb for past 2 yrs, n now using cavas2 for 7 months.. i didn't went to service centre except for the trackball of q5fb, just went once cause of water damage for my canvas2.. (funny part is that the peoples didn't even got that there was any water damage, n repaired mob within warranty..), all this to say 3 words, i trust MMX..
Dont Void Warranty !
My micromax indeed did break down and I had to avail warranty . So dont void it .

Did you get around with this idea?
Could you install the mobo from Can2+ in Can2?
Sony.
IMEI will change
If you replace the mothetboard of canvas 2 with canvas 2 plus the imei will change to a new one . You will not get a canvas2 plus board with blank imei . First find some info about how to transfer imei from canvas 2 to canvas 2 plus .This will be illegal too i guess .

Sooner or Later ! Samsung will Suffer Like Nokia if I was not wrong, Because other companies are updating their mobile phone OS very fast but Samsung is moving even slower than tortoise , If you see the update list of all phones only major Phone like S5,S4 S3 & Note 2&3 are getting updated but other phones are struck at 4.2.2 earlier Nokia also behaving like same they putting older OS in new phone for example Nokia c3 which is release in 2010 but OS is S40 which is nearly 5 years old. Just look at the Mote E Specs its beat Samsung s2 plus in all aspects expect in camera . Dear Samsung please change your attitude other wise ............

let's say thanks to cyanogenmod community to help our devices to update :laugh:
The higher u go..the greater u fall
Applies to all sammy also.
I think (hope) Samsung is waiting for final 4.4 update from Google.
I checked Samsung updates for many device, usually there is no for example 4.0.1 or 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 updates they are 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 , ...
I wish final KitKat would be released soon then lots of Samsung devices will be updated.
Yes Bro

So what's the problem, mate?
The E3 has a fully grown up OS version. Probably will receive the 4.4 update, just like the dual-sim variant and it will be OK.
I don't understand all the hype surrounding the 5.0 version. Not even all the top-rangers from last year got the update.
They are still launching new models with Kit Kat on board.
Moving on from this point of view I've read a lot of threads regarding both official AND custom builds of 5.0 and in all these threads users are complaining about some serious memory management problems. Putting it clear the RAM management, at this moment, is worse on Lollipop than on Kit Kat. I have a friend with a LG G3, the version with 3GB RAM and after the update he also noticed that the memory management is worse.:laugh:
So my true and sincere advice is to be happy with a fully optimized OS version than unhappy with a buggy-first-cycle-of-life version of the same OS which you will probably use just the same I have a SGS4, the I9505 version with Snapdragon 600 CPU which is scheduled to receive Lollipop but I'm not in a hurry to install it. Both the I9500 (Exynos) and I9506 (Snapdragon 800) variants of the SGS4 received it already and everyone reports lots of bugs. I'm not saying that Sony is above or bellow Sammy, but the OS is the same so the problems will be the same. And if you wonder what am I doing on this thread let me just say that I bought my father an E3 as a gift So I'm keeping a close eye on it :cyclops:
So don't worry and enjoy the phone because it's a perfect mid-ranger! Cheers and all the best :highfive:
Perfect mid-ranger with only 4GB of internal storage (whilst E4 comes with double that storage at 2/3 of the price of E3 + better front camera)? At least lollilop would solve the internal storage issue to some extend.

I dont,t think if we have ram problem lollypop will be usefull at all.as he told 3gig,s of ram had problem.
Storage is not an issue i have 7gigs of games on my sd with 1 gig free internel storage.
E4 is reallly lost everything from e3 e4 has super small datacable for charging. Fully crap.it,s like sony just reduced quality to make a low price phone. Even micromax had better phone than e4. And yellowness in display is worse thing. Just grab e3 instead of e4.
I reallly love sony for build quality. Which it lost in e4.
Don,t know why but i really think of samsung like micromax and other,s.

Excuse me, but can you name at least 5 apps or games that worked on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and don't work anymore because of the OS update? And 4.0.4 is how old by now? I quote: "Release to manufacturing: October 19, 2011". Aham! That's like 4 years ago Think you going to keep the E3 for at least 4 years? In fact let me tell you that Xposed doesn't have a stable version on 5.0 yet. And that's a main reason for a lot of people not to upgrade to 5.0.

Every one have their own thinking Bro....all d best
So sad but is not the end!!
:crying: Guys, dont talk so fast!!!
Not necesarily we have bad luck.
Remember guys, there´s an AOSP development for mid and low range 2014 Xperia devices such as: E3, M2, T2 ultra, T3 and C3. That devices may receive lollipop through official or unofficial way after Z series.
I know you are going to say: AOSP is not a requirement for make a final and stable version. But, Why was the reason sony released an AOSP?
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...e/open-devices/list-of-devices-and-resources/
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ased-2014-xperia-devices-now-supported-video/
Even if is not lollipop for us, we can keep with kitkat, keeping on mind the highest KK stability compared with released 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 lollipop versions.
I know AOSP is bug filled, but some developers are working in that issues. Theres no CM12 stable version for Flamingo (E3) but @freexperia is working at least in LTE E3 devices.
Yesterday, Unofficial Xperia Blog reported some screenshots of Xperia C3 running something like lollipop in chinese market, but it may be fake
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/0...enshots-emerge-could-it-be-landing-after-all/
And also, dont let intimidate by three or four tweets or android related blogs with the bad new. We should wait the official confirmation on Sony Xperia official blog.
BTW: if Sony really dont want update 2014 models and just update Z series and upcoming 2015 models, they will lose market quota. Sony is not good in the mobile market, forget the users and dont listen them can be a mistake for Kazuo Hirai´s company.
And here is the final comment: my next phone will be from motorola or another brand updateable, because Sony, LG, Samsung, Alcatel and others forgot low and mid range devices, thanks to the high fragmentation of the premise "Same but different"
People change its devices each two years, so, we never will get the latest version of android on any device, even if the device has infinite ram, processor and storage! Certainly the true is many people get/buy a low mid range instead a high and expensive flagship
We should support cyanogenmod or develop our android versions for stop programated obsolescence! Look, android versions rolling in the world: 2.3 4.0.X 4.1.X, 4.2.X 4.3.X 4.4X, 5.0.X. This is not fair for users!!! Android is doing bad, they should follow iOS example and keep updated even the legacy devices on all brands!!
