Get your battery checked at service center. Anyways this is stock rom so its pure micromax rom.

Now i am at your sld v2 rom its superb. Battery charging 22-32 p/h. But also jump 70 to 100 when charge.
I will calibrate one's again.
Should i flash any new rom @ 100% battery to avoid such battery drain.
Sir,
I use my phone so heavily with full day 2g internet. My battery backup is about 14 - 16 hour.
Thanks 4 reply. I request u to make a patch for sim toolkit for sld v2 rom. Its superb, fast and best battery backup.

You have chosen best rom in whole A116 series of roms. You sure need to calibrate your battery coz still with full day 2G you should get 24+ hours on this rom. That jump from 70 to 100 is not a good sign for battery's physical health. Get your battery checked as soon as possible. I forgot to make patch for sim toolkit as most of us do not use it. Will add it in next update asap. Thanks.

Some users complain about SCREEN FLICKERING after flashing custom rom.
THIS IS NOT RELATED TO ANY CUSTOM ROM AND MAY HAPPEN ON ANY ROM.
The main reason behind it is the phone is required to be upgraded upto 4.2.1 and not 4.1.x.

When you update to 4.2.1 (from services center or yourself) the phone upgrades itself by fixing old infamous screen-flickering problem and worst touch responsiveness also called TPUPGRADE (Touch Panel Upgrade). WARNING: You should not touch screen when TPUPGRADE process is running, else you may end up with soft-bricked phone.

The solution is to flash the third link in OP and flash it with SPTOOLS method. Download this >>

3rd Link) SPTOOLS version ROM with (TWRP 2.5.0.0) and SPTOOLS (SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119)

Thanks for reporting. noted down. seems some old links died. uploading. wait for few hours and come back.

EDIT: Both files prepared again and uploaded to dev-host server. Please check now. :)

That was quick. Thank You very much sir! :)

I've got a question sir and it is that i am trying to flash this ROM with SP Tools. And at present i have CWM flashed on my phone and i have backed up ColorOs using it. So my question is will that backup become useless and unable to restore if i re-install or install any different version of CWM?


And last 2 questions.

1) Does this ROM include TWRP, the title is confusing:

SPTOOLS version ROM with (TWRP 2.5.0.0) and SPTOOLS (SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119)
DOWNLOAD
** Download this version. Do not download original version given below
** SPTools Installation Instructions in second post below.

2) And if TWRP is included, can i replace it with CWM with the procedure you've mentioned in post two?

Please bear with me, i am a newbie :D

yes you can replace it surely but you will need to rename cwm as recovery.img....... and replace in the root forlder of stock rom files........
try cwm 6.0.5.0 (link) for best reasults and if possible, use kash kernel..... it has too vivid colours and aslo very fast, stable and smooth...

Hey mate, i followed the whole procedure mentioned in post #2 but my phone didn't get a bit effected. Even the green ring popped out but still phone was as it was before flashing. Please help!

UPDATE:- Okay i was actually flashing only recovery again and again. And now i flashed the ROM properly and it went out absolutely fine. Thanks again @cmahendra @Andy1911 for your instant support, looking further for more of your good work. Wish I'll also start contributing to Android community as soon as i learn these things :)

Yes the third link is stock rom from micromax but the recovery replaced is TWRP 2.5.0.0. so when you flash it, you can start phone in TWRP immediately. You can simply flash latest SuperSU and phone is rooted.

Thanks that worked pretty well. But actually my prob is that whenever i flash Color OS and Lewa OS my screen starts blinking (not flickering) continuously and this is what i am finding solution for. But even after flashing this ROM and then flashing Lewa OS screen still blinks. Can you help me in this Sir! I've tried other Custom ROMs like MIUI and other Color OS ROM both works perfect but not Lewa OS and Color OS. Links of the ROMs is given below. Please help me sir!

1) Color OS which causes blinking : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2653005

2) Lewa OS : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2609933

3) Color OS which worked : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2558352

4) MIUI ROM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2501688

This thread is only for discussion about latest 4.2.1 stock rom only which you flashed successfully. And this sptools version is factory rom directly by Micromax. Nothing is done by me or anyone in it. I dont know why it blinks on other roms. Ask respective devs. And yes, showing links of other roms to me was not necessary, as we know all links.

Okay. Actually there are 2 different versions of Color OS, so as to cut out the confusion, i made it clear through links. Anyways Thanks for your assistance :)

Once You Update to 4.2 TP Upgrade Should Not Be Starting Again.......... Its only one time process.... If You Want to get rid of this upgrade, then remove TP UPGRADE.apk from system/app folder in this rom zip file..... it will stop the tp upgrade surely... but use it on ur own risk

TPupgrade fails only when you touch screen while it is in process for first time or your screen may have some touch issue already. The warning about TPupgrade is given because if that fails your phone may have parmanent brick or issue. Its risky process thats why about tpupgrade everyone mentions "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK". Now you are requested to flash stock rom 4.2.1 and complete TPupgrade properly. If that does not help, then soryy, you may need to take your phone to service center.
@cmahendra thanks for your reply regarding boot image sir. Issue solved.
coool :) Thanks

    For A116, A116i, FLY IQ451, MYphone919i, Wiko Cink-5, Qmobile A600

    from scratch from latest SPTOOLS version

    Google play store or other features of stock apps in stock is from original stock (Oct or Nov 2013) and when you flash rom and connect internet, the play store or other things should get updated automatically. This is tweaked Factory Stock and not a custom rom which are updated on regular basis.


    I have made this for ...
    (1) users who want to restore to original stock in case of brick or bootloop and may be who lost recovery too in worst case scenario (sptools version)
    (2) users who want to use original stock but with great tweaks I have implemented. (cwm version)
    (3) devs who want to use a good build of stock for making custom roms or porting.

    Features:


    • Two versions: Normaland Fully Tweaked Stock ROM for A116i and A116
    • Louder Sound
    • Fast Network Speed (Browsing)
    • WiFi Fast connect
    • Also for FLY IQ451 / MYphone919i / Wiko Cink Five / Qmobile A600
    • This rom uses Stock Kernel
    • WORKING OTA UPDATE
    • Rooted Stock
    • Busyboxed
    • Deodexed
    • Zip-Aligned
    • Super Smooth
    • Super Responsive Touch
    • Great Battery Backup.
    • Everything Original Stock Apps
    • Lighter Sony Bravia 2 Tweaks
    • MMX Registration , Games and Bloatware removed (more will be removed soon)
    • Init.d support with small app (check Addon section below)
    • Option to install 4.3 camera or revert back to stock 4.2 (check Addon section below)
    • Built from A116i : MMX Build ver: S9201_4.2_MP_F3F8_B1_IN_MMX_14_FLASHER_USER
    Note:

    • Please do not tell me its same stock rom as before, I know that. But this tweaked version and is much better than any previous stock roms :)
    Try it and post feedback.

    Installation:
    1. Copy zip on sdcard
    2. Reboot to recovery CWM/TWRP
    3. Do Full Factory Reset (Full Wipe)
    4. Flash Rom and reboot. Done!

    stock 4.3 camera, does it replaces the cam application or add another 1...
    iam on MIUI rom and wanted to try the 4.3 camera for that..
    Plz tell me hw to revert if i mess up with it....

    Camera 4.3 Patch is made only for stock and it replaces the 4.2 or vice versa. I dont know what will happen with MIUI.
    1) Firstly, I will suggest "Dont try".
    2) Secondly, if you still want to "Try at your own risk" after taking nandroid backup
    3) Do whatever you want to man, coz phones do not explode on faces for any misadventure. :D

    Hi, an absolute newbie here looking for custom ROMs for my Canvas A116 and your ROM looks like the best option. I had a couple of questions:

    1. By "Stock ROM" do you mean it is the pure Google Android found on their Nexus devices? If not, are there any such ROMs for my device?

    2. By "Working OTA Update" do you mean I can get future versions of Android (like Kitkat) OTA?

    Thanks!

    By stock ROM he means what OEM MMX has provided with no modifications, if ur looking for nexus style I suggest u can either try superluminadad or oppo r819 stock the earlier is themed aosp android where as the latter is built by oppo as an aosp n ported
    2nd question yes thats what he means quite directly
