dear this method also doesnt work at all...actually driver is the main problem according to me..the driver which is given in this thread is not for KArbon a 21..so if possible upload driver and procedure that is successful
Thank you
Thank you so much for the reply. I was thinking if there is some way to play HD videos without converting
them. If conversion is unavoidable, we'd rather down convert it to its screen resolution which keeps the size small too. Coming to MX player, I've tried both h/w and s/w codecs but in h/w codecs not all formats supported, only audio plays whereas with s/w codecs there is heavy lag. I've also installed MX player codecs for arm V7 neon but still lot of sync loss and pathetic frame rates. Kindly request everyone to solve this problem so that we can play all HD videos without converting them.
Karbonn A21 is a hell of a smartphone powered by a mighty Dual-core snapdragon processor which clocks at 1.2 GHz. The phone is priced at INR 10,499 and is available for around INR 500-1000 less than the MRP. The snapdragon processor ensures lagless performance of the device and is able to handle the 480x800 resolution of the device. The only drawback is the 400 MB ram that's available to the end user. The tagline for the device says: "Style meets Technolgy" and the device indeed looks stylish and gives a premium feeling. Just if this device had packed 1 GB ram, it would have been a killer combo of specs and price.
Other specs of this device include:
5 MP back camera
1.3 MP front camera
4.5 Inch capacitive screen
External Memory: Upto 32 GB
Internal Memory: 4 GB
Sales Package: Handset, Charger, Battery, warranty card, headset
RAM is being reported to be 1 GB by many websites, I would want anyone having the device to confirm that.
1800 mAH battery
5 HRs. talktime, 200 HRs. standby
Dual SIM, Dual standby

xda member Eklovya had offered to compile cwm from sources. If you are rooted, pm him.
I shall keep this thread updated. Let your feedback and questions about the device pour below.
Hi Friends,
The required driver files are attached. Open the Zip file and save the Driver file folder and the UnlockRoot Tool in your Desktop.
Connect the phone to your PC and install the drivers.
Once the drivers are successfully installed you phone is ready to be rooted.
Now click open the UnlockRoot Tool and when it's installed (you may have to temporarily disable your antivirus) click the "ROOT" button.
It may say that your phone is already rooted, ignore and press the "ROOT" button. Wait until the process is completed and the phone is rebooted. Now you have your phone rooted. Check with "Root Explorer" or any other application you have.
Note that "Rooting" will void your Warranty and you are doing it at your own risk!!
You are most welcome to hit the Thanks Button.
Guys I'm really seeking answer to this question. Is anyone able to play HD videos on this mobile? I've tried the MX player with arm v7 codecs and the mobo player but all HD videos above and including 1080x540 resolution are lagging heavily.
I'll be grateful for an answer since the max resolution which its playing without any lag is 960x540 which is screen resolution.
Is there any way to play HD videos on this?
The phone is needs more RAM..
My camera, browser, video-player crashes often..
