Please read before installing or posting
Dualsim variants (a5dwg, a5dug) are supported, but not fully functional. It's not possible to make calls if you selected 2G as preferred network mode. This is a known issue so please do not post any report about that! I would suggest you to only use one sim card with the dualsim variants.

Does this still require that modified cwm recovery, because I would much rather use Philz?

 

[mido3366]

Do I flash it with CWM or TWRP or with Philz recovery ?
Or any recovery can flash this rom ? @Grarak
and does it has your grakernel ?

If you say something is not working then state the device your using. There are about 5 other versions of this device. Saying dual Sim isn't enough either.

Go into the bootloader and get the model where it says a5_***
Now you can say if its dual or single and more helpfully if you know where it came from. US, UK, Korea, India etc.

My dear frnd.....u can add APN . First boot up the device....do necessary things ( let both the sims search for networks and connect to network) Then reboot again. Now u can add APNs. U can set any of the sims to 3G. First change both sims to 2G.(using network settings) then change ur desired slot to 3G. Bt on 2G sim u will not be able to hear the other side while making or recievings calls...
