List Of ROMS For Micromax Canvas 2 A110

Micromax A110 has been the most popular phone on our blog, and has been one of the driving forces behind the visitors we serve daily. In this post, we shall help out those readers by listing down the best custom roms they should give a try on their Micromax A110 Canvas 2.

A ROM stands for read only memory and the ROMs we generally talk about an Android partition gets written to that partition. These ROMs decide the User Interface and the performance of your device along with a few other things like the custom kernel. The urge to flash custom roms often leads people to root their phone. And we expect that you have already rooted your Micromax A110 Canvas 2 and have installed clockworkmod recovery installed on it. Clockworkmod recovery (or TWRP recovery) is a must for flashing custom roms or any other third party zip.

Before you proceed:
  • If you are on Ice Cream Sandwich, follow Rooting Micromax A110 on ICS and then flashclockworkmod recovery.
  • If you are on Jelly Bean, follow this guide to root as well as to install clockworkmod recovery on your Canvas 2.
  • I have linked the xda thread of all the roms in their description. Visit that thread to learn about the latest updates and to download the latest rom version.
  • The general method of flashing a custom rom on Micromax A110 is:
    • Download the latest version of the rom you chose to try from the specified xda thread.
    • Transfer the ROM's zip file to your Canvas 2's sd card.
    • Power off your Micromax A110. When it vibrates, the phone has shut down completely.
    • Press the Volume Down, Volume Up and Power button till your phone boots into cwm/twrp recovery (depends on which one you have installed).
    • Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then go to Advanced and select Wipe Dalvik Cache.
    • Go to Install zip from sd card, then to Choose zip from sd card and finally select the rom file you transferred to your sd card in step 2.
    • Go to Advanced and select Wipe Batter stats.
    • Reboot your device.
  •  Please note that these roms have been chosen on the basis of feedback they have received.
  • Before giving the rom a go, make sure you have read the known bugs of that rom and only flash it if you can live with them.

The 5 Custom ROMs to try on Micromax A110 Canvas 2 before you (or the phone) die:

  1. Lewa OS ROM
  2. JMP ROM
  3. Suvi ROM
  4. Raven OS ROM
  5. Stock ROM
Now, we shall talk about these rom in details.
  • Lewa OS ROM:

    Lewa OS is a fork of Android OS with heavy changes in the User Interface. Fortunately, the User Interface changes for the better. If you were starting to get bored of the same Android UI on your device, don't waste a second and try this rom on your Canvas 2 now!

    This rom was ported to Canvas 2 by Mufti.arfan and has a dedicated thread over here.

    Screenshots:


    Download: Lewa OS v13.05.24 (About 202 Megabytes)

    Known Bugs:
    • Doesn't work well with Crossbreeder. You don't need to care about this if you don't know what it is.
    • Using OTG requires you to use OTG Mount Helper app.
  • JMP ROM:

    JMP ROM was one of the very first roms released for Micromax A110 Canvas 2 and enjoys a good feedback from its users. I am sure you too won't regret downloading it.

    This rom has been developed by Jiggar M. Pattani and has its thread here.

    Screenshots:


    Download: 
    JMP ROM v11.5 (About 113 Megabytes)

    Known Bugs: All of the known bugs can be fixed by atches present here. Apply the one according to the bug you face.
  • Suvi ROM:

    Suvi ROM has been developed by bsuhas, and just like JMP rom, enjoys mostly positive feedback from its users. It is definitely worth a shot. The official xda thread for this rom is here.

    Screenshots:
    Download: 
    Download link for the latest version of the rom have been removed for unknown reasons. Go to the thread to check if it is back ( and if it is comment on this post to let me know).

    Known Bugs: 
    None
  • Raven ROM:

    As Akshit Patel, the rom developer, puts it, this rom features a dark theme in most of its applications and  provides UI that is never seen before. To see if all that is true, you will have to try it out. The xda support thread for this rom can be found here.

    Screenshots:


    Download: 
    Raven ROM v2 (About 222 Megabytes)

    Known Bugs: Clicking Battery option in Settings leads to a Force Close. Also, the network signal stays even when it is not working.
  • Stock Jelly Bean ROM:
    Wasn't it  a list of custom roms for Micromax A110? Yes, it was, but according to me Stock ROM is the most stable rom for any phone and given that no rom for Canvas 2 has been built from source and are just aggregation of tweaks, you can try all those tweaks on your stock ROM itself. If you want to revert to the stock jelly bean rom for Micromax A110, head here. As expected, it is totally bugless.
Update: All jelly based custom roms are reportedly having poor camera quality, if you want to solve it, read this.

Jelly Bean Based ROMs for Micromax A110:

Mobistel Cynus T2 Official Jelly Bean ROM:

  • Overview: I was rather confused whether this rom should be included in a list of unofficial roms because this rom is official for Mobistel Cynus T2 users but unofficial for Micromax A110 users. It is a thumb rule that any rom not released by the device manufacturer themselves is said to be unofficial, but as Mobistel isn't the manufacturer of A110, and this post is targeted towards A110 users, therefore I decided to place it in here. The rom is quite stock like and you won't find most features you would generally look for in a custom rom. You will just get the Jelly Bean goodies that Google had in store for Android 4.1, nothing extra.
  • Features:
    • As Cynus T2 comes with a 12 MP camera, this rom will increase the resolution of the output files your camera will produce when you flash it on your Micromax A110.
    • Internal SD card size is about 1.05 GB while space available for apps installation is also around 1 GB.
    • For detailed information about this ROM, read this.

  • Xda Thread
  • Snapshots:

JigarPattani's Jalebi ROM:

  • Overview:Jigarpattani is the same guy who cooked JMP ROM a few weeks back.This time, the Jalebi ROM is based on Jelly Bean, and the popularity of the rom can be gauged by the fact that this tom's support thread has received over 490 replies. The feature list is quite impressive too, see for yourself.
  • Features:
    • Baseband v5.p2
    • Beats Audio for enhanced graphics
    • Bravia Engine for better sound
    • Applications are movable to external SD card.
    • Pre-rooted
    • 60 Frames per Second frame rate is achievable
  • Download
  • Xda Thread
  • Snapshots:

Dr. Bhokali ROM:

  • Overview:
    Dr. Bhokali's ROM is pretty simple and sleek, but is super smooth too. I am running out of words for this rom as I haven't tested this one. (I don't have a A110 but test some stuff out on my friend's A110.)
  • Features:
    • Pre-rooted
    • Zipaligned and deodexed
    • Upto 60 fps frame rate
  • Download
  • Xda Thread

S.E.M.I. ROM:

  • Features:
    • Better Image and Video Quality
    • Touchwiz like UI
    • Pre-rooted
    • Cool backgrounds in settings and other menus
  • Download
  • Xda Thread

    S.E.M.I. Rom for MMX A110

Ulefone Star N9776 ROM:

  • Overview:To flash this rom, you have to download the JB rom for Cynus T2, then replace the Ulefone's boot.img file with the boot.img present in Cynus T2's rom. Then, the file can be simply flashed via clockworkmod.

AMOI N820 Official Jelly Bean ROM:

  • Overview: 
    I don't know anything about this rom, apart from the fact that it is the official rom for AMOI N820. Another thing I have known from the snapshots is that UI is heavily doped.

These six ROMs provide you ample amount of Jelly Bean sweetness to choose from. If I skipped any rom, do report back in the comments. Here is the Micromax A110's Jelly Bean forum, do start a topic there if you want to ask anything or just to share a trick or two.

!WARNING!

BEFORE you start modifying/tweaking any system files, make a BACKUP!

In that case you're save and you have the option to restore the system if you mess something up!


1. build.prop

For editing build.prop you'll need a file explorer like Root Explorer which is a paid app, or you can use any root enabled file explorer.
Solid Explorer is a really good one!
build.prop is located in /system.

You can also use Android Commander to pull the file to your PC, edit it, then push it back to the phone.


Here's a collection of build.prop tweaks which should improve performance:

NOTE: I've commented values (#) which I'm not really sure about what they do exactly. Or I find they are optional.
Test them yourself if you want. remove # in front of line, if you want to enable it.

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
#If you don’t keep Wi-Fi active, lowering the value below the default of 90 seems to make Wi-Fi connect faster after being turned on. But it will consume more power if turning Wi-Fi off has been forgotten when not in range of a known network.

4. V6 Supercharging

][Script-U9RC8.2]Be A Super User! Use The -=V6 SuperCharger=- Lag, Redraw & RAM Fixer! - xda-developers

1.] Download V6 supercharger and place it on your SDcard. Optionally you can rename it to a simple name like V6.
2.] Download&install script manager from google play.
3.] open script manager and grant it root privileges.
4.] Load downloaded script by selecting it, tap superuser (SU) icon (it will turn green)
5.] Tap 'run' in upper left corner
6.] touch the screen to open keyboard.
7.] it will ask to set scrolling speed, select 1 or 2 or 3 and then enter. Or select 0 for instant display.
8.] let it run until it stops scrolling. It will then ask you "Please Enter Option [1-30]:"
9.] Choose 10 for automatic calculation of settings (V6 cust-oomizer), or choose for yourself. My personal choice is 5 [Multitask]
10.] let it do it's thing... after it's finished it'll ask you if you want to super clean&reboot, do it.


To verify if the script has been installed, run it again after reboot.
If all is gods, you should get "Launcher is HARD TO KILL! ie. SUPERCHARGED" and "SuperCharger Level: 100% SuperCharged!"




5. APK Optimisation

][DEVS] Optimize all APKs automatically, Reduce memory footprint! [Now with Zipalign] - xda-developers

What it does: Makes APK's smaller by compressing PNG files in it. You gain a bit more space on internal storage, and smaller memory footprint!

Download this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=233101&d=1254347893 and extract it somewhere. Preferably to your desktop. The folder is named apkopt by default.

Open your ROM's zip. Open system and extract app folder to desktop.
Select all APK's inside app folder and copy/move them to apkopt folder.
Press win+r which opens run, type cm which opens command prompt.
now navigate to whereveryour apkopt folder is and type "apkopt_all".
The process will start, and it will take some time to finish.
It will create two new folders, "optimized" & "original".
Your optimized APK's are obviously in the optimized folder.
You can compare how much in size they've shrinked, for some ROM's you can gain as much as 20Mb!

Create new folder called "app", and place all optimized APK's in it.
Open you ROM zip again, go to system and replace the app folder with the optimized one.

Now you can flash the ROM 




6. ROM odexing

][ODEX] on Any ROM - xda-developers

Odexing pros:
Faster boot, faster app loading, gain more space in internal storage.

deODEXED pros:
Modification of apk becomes easier
ROM is open to theme modifications

Further odex vs deodex info: xda-developers - View Single Post - [ODEX] on Any ROM

So, I think if you're not a ROM or theme maker, you should be good to go 


Download this file:
odex-cwm.zip and put it on your SDcard.
Reboot phone into recovery and flash zip. It's as simple as that 
WARNING! Make sure you make a nandroid backup before you flash it!
