Please include a guide to return to stock.

In order to claim warranty, one needs to return to stock ROM / recovery.

This is my first non-samsung device, so I am not familiar with how to do this for this device. :p

Please include a guide on how to get the phone back to 'everything-stock' in case phone has to be returned for repair during warranty period.

Thank You ! :)

You can always restore your CWM backup to return back to your previous setup and if you want to unroot, open framaroot app and select unroot, and i will post the stock recovery later

How to Set / Unset Contacts as favourites ?

Hi,

I recently bought the A120.

I am unable to find a way to mark (or unmark) contacts as favourites ?

My GO contact widget identifies my favourite contacts (set from my earlier phone), but there is no marking or selection for favourite contacts in the contacts list ?

So is there a way to set a contact as 'favourite' ?

Open the Contact app.
Slide to left.
U will find Favourite option.



I'm learning so press thanks to encourage me if I really helped you.

Sorry,
But there is no option marked 'Favourites'.
Even in your screenshot it is not seen.
What you have shown is 'groups'.
Thanks.

So I guess there is no way to do this in this device?

Is a very common function and very useful.
All the phones I've used so far have this feature .
Surprised that this one doesn't (or is well hidden).

Is there a 3rd party app for contacts that provides this feature?
Does the custom ROM mentioned have this?

Thank you!

Can we swap phone storage with internal or external SD card?

Phone storage is just 0.99 Gb.
This gets filled up pretty fast as you install apps. Even though app data is installed in external sd card, it seems the app itself occupies some space in phone storage.

Can we swap phone storage with the internal sdcard (1.6 Gb) or extremal sd card (up to 32 Gb) ?

This will allow the installation of even more apps?

I believe apps like 'Root internal 2 external' could do this but I would like some some advise from the experienced users in this thread?

Thanks!

Yes, I too have installed large games like Modern Combat 4, Injustice, Amazing Spiderman etc without issues,

Although huge chunk of the app gets installed in the external SD card, each app still takes a peice of the 0.99 GB phone storage.

Soon this fills and there is a 'storage' warning error, though there are GBs free in the internal & external SD card.

This is what I'm refering too.

And now your reply has confused me.

You can select 'Default write disk' as external SD card... so what is the need for Link2SD app ?
I installed all the above games without any such app ?

Thanks

Edit : I see that after rooting you can move more apps to SD card that we could not earlier.
