was searching on the net the other day and for a while mobiistar s03 looked promising - but it seems to be altogether another mobile even the cpu is mtk based i suppose.

i must have tried altogether around 20 recovery imges now. many are almost ok. gives a grey screen with a fade in but nothing appears on the screen. however the os is running as i can adb shell in to it.

have also tried the online builder, successfully uploaded the recovery got a no change and a successfull build but the image hangs on the red recovery screen.

We will need to build fresh CWM as CM5 belongs to GB only.

Here are some tips:

[ROM] Bee Extravagant 1.0.5 (Test)

Dear All,

This is a test ROM and anyone willing to test can try it.
Its based on iphone theme and ICS 4.0.4

Note: Always backup your stock ROM (we havint found a way for A15 yet but online apps can help)

Installation:

1. Turn the phone off, press and hold the volume up + power button, such as mobile phone goes into the green interface mode let go (fastboot)
2. Connect mobile phone data cable & connect to the computer
3. Unpack open folder to find a Brush.bat, double-click it, a command prompt will popup, do not do anything, the installation will begin
4. Press the spacebar to restart phone, Flash success!!! open the phone to enjoy the happiness
5. Use the Boot.img of A15 (On 1st Page , 1st Post) for touch to work

This is a test project so do at your own Risk!!!!
Post your results here
Awaiting response so that more ROMS can be ported

Some minor niggles

Colours in the camera seem to be oversaturated. Also, can any comment on the issues faced by 720p playback of mkv files?

Try using the camera in full light. I had no such issue.
I use camera FV -5 app as it takes good pics

720p .mp4 doesnt work on any player.
but 720p .avi format plays excellent on MX player.

OK, shall use the app and see.

As for 720p playback, dug a bit deep into specs and found that the A15 has some NEON and VFP extensions, so tried using custom ffmpeg codecs from another post, but did not work with MX player. Shall try again and see later.

How do i increase the tactile (vibration) feedback for capacitive button presses? Its too less.

No way to increase the feedback.
I rather choose not to use it as it saves my battery a lot

To install CWM, ROOT is NOT required or necessary.
Without ROOT also one can install CWM.
Yes it will work without ROOT

Below is for A87
It should work for A15
But try at your own Risk

Credit: itzmiandy for creating CWM. I have just created an installer.

Created an easy Installer for CWM.
Those who find it difficult for flashing through fastboot.

Steps:

1 Load all drivers on ur pc which we call ADB drivers.
2 Setup fastboot mode on your handset

Setting up fastboot:

Turn Device off
Volume Up button + Power ON button for 10 Sec
This will show fastboot mode is on (Green Color) let go the keys
(If ADB Drivers not installed, kindly do so by checking device manager if it shows some yellow exclamation)

3 Download and install CWM
How to Install CWM?

Extract all files from zip
U will see file named Install CWM.bat.
Run that file and now plug A15 to usb cable (it must be in fastboot mode as we did before)
Follow instructions on the DOS screen to make it load CWM recovery.
Your Mobile will reboot after installation is finished

This CWM is not working,i tried it and it gets mobile stuck at a white screen.any other CWM image?
