[ROOT/ROMs/MODs/GUIDE] Micromax Canvas Magnus A117 - All in One Guide

[venreddy]

Thanks for the reply bro.. I am using the Magnus S4 ROM only...The ROM is cooI but the thing is i don't like the icons( Contacts,Messaging,etc..) of Samsung Galaxy. I was earlier using a HTC Desire and i liked the HTC icons very much and that is why i need them. If you could find one please share with me dude.

Please check my earlier response, I posted few links for icon packs that you can try.

I knew 100% it will happen. Proper porting will be required. Please wait for few days, I will port my both roms (LIGHT and LOADED) for this model. I dont know it will work or not, coz I dont have this phone. May be some testers will help me to help all.

IMPORTANT: When you reply me here, try to enter my username with @ sign, like @cmahendra. I will get notification and I will respond asap.

Flashing stock ROM

I rooted my phone and got rid of some blotwares. But am noticing battery drain is pretty quick. I recalibrated the battery but no effect. I want to go back to the stock ROM. I have the ROM and SP tool but after i click 'download' in SP Tool and connect USB, nothing happens. The drivers for my phone were automatically installed by Mobogenie. I could not find drivers for this phone. Can someone help me out here?

For flashing ROM you should click on Firmware upgrade ( Do not use download button ) . Download option in SP Tool is only for installing CWM recovery.

Just rooting and removing bloatware do not increase battery drain. infact it shd improve your batttery life. if you have taken backup of your rom, then you can simply restore it. Or use SP tool firmware upgrade option to flash stock.
But before it, check what apps are causing battery drain, use greenify app and see battery life. Our magnus shd be giving one full day battery life for little moderate use.

Hi,
Download latest verson of Viper4Android Fx and copy 4.x APK file to SD card (ViPER4Android_4.x_2315.apk). Install it as normal User app.
After that when you open this app / music player equalizer... first time it will prompt to download drivers, select either first one or second one from drivers list (super quality / high quality) and download. Once done reboot.
Then open viper app and enable speaker/headset master poser, firequalizer (select preset acoustic/other), enable eXtra loud, effect as Slight3
