All about Micromax Canvas Turbo A250

[saurabh2012]

Review based on 2 days of usage,
Perfect rom, looks beautiful. Bits of lags here and there.. The OS hangs for almost 1 second before the start of any activity.. thats very disappointing

Camera shows the preview but after capturing, it saves a 43 kb file which is shown as DAMAGED IMAGE. So basically camera not working at all...
Rest everything perfect

Back to stock rom

I am using this rom from 6-8 days. and didn't felt any lag. even the "Asphalt 8" game running fine.
Yes there is the camera issue "grey image" but it can be solved by selecting different resolution in the camera settings.

Good samaritan

Hello friends.
In Russia, this unit came under the brand Explay and called Dream. Firmware compatible entirely.
There are already two of my port, but to complete the picture, I offer you all my work.
Everyone will be able to choose what is more to their liking.

ColorOS (port froom OPPO) - new version

Kaifovo Mod (mix from LifeOS and Vibe ROM of Lenovo)

LeWa OS

MIUI

Xperia (port from Sony)

Just 4.2.1 (clear Android with some tweaks)

All firmware made ​​for Russia, and Russian and Moscow time zone they are by default, but you can switch to English in the settings.
Язык и ввод - язык. And choose the right ... Well, then dismantled.

Enjoy!

thank you for the effort... by the way can u add the lockscreen apk of colour os as seperate file so that I can mix with other version...

Hey guys i am in a big trouble please help me out ! I've rooted my micromax canvas turbo a250 using framaroot app, Now the problem is that after rooting the phone i've done a hard reset on it as soon as the factory reset setup ended i am facing a major problem my device is now continously sending those device registeration message that every device these days does on their very first boot.Everytime i restart my phone it automatically sends those fishy device registeration messages to micromax, I've also tried disabling the smsreg.apk & regtest.apk though they kinda solve that problem out but after disabling those apps my fone tends to delete my contact automatically not even a single contact was left untouched that doesn't fall short of this whole auto deletion thing & after re enabling those smsreg.apk & regtest.apk The device then once again tends to send those Device registeration messages out to mmx. Please guys i request you all to help me out,I'd be highly obliged ! Thanks a ton in advance
