Hi,
Anyone has idea about the specs for this phone ?
Unofficial websites show 140mb internal memory. This should be too low for possible ICS upgrade, IMO. In that respect Karbonn A9 has better specs.
Also, with Spice annoucing the launch of MI-500 (ICS, 5" screen), there would be healthy competition in low end Android handsets in India.
Cheers.

nice thread . if i , by any chance , get the stock rom of the spice ics phone then i shall try and port the rom for you
note - i am not sure if it will work or not but i will try ........

if mi425's memory is 140mb, KA9 looks better!!!
I would love to see the mi425 ROM though. I like spice in terms of dual sm management.

I have provided links above which show the specs
140 MB is user available memory, its NOT for the OS.
The OS is installed in ROM, this ROM might be somewhere from 1 GB to 500 MB and it is a reserved space for OS, so dont worry about ICS, the handset has enough power to run it.

Thanks Prasad.

Would 140 MB User Available Memory be enough for apps. I understand that apps can be moved to SDC. However, some say that not all apps are movable e.g. G-Maps etc.
I am an Android newbie.
Cheers.

can you provide some more details?

Move almost all Android apps to SD card (no root required)
This is posted before on xda.
Tired it on my venue on stock rom.
Helped me move my Large apk game files viz "asphalt 6, modern combat 2, assasins creed etc. " to SD card with ease.
Recovered some phone memory after that.
But memory hogging apps like whatsapp, some launchers, hancent, etc can be moved.
But once moved, if app supports widget. The widget support will be lost.
You need to move it back to phone memory for it.
heres the link.

Similar to karbonn a9
that phone is exactly same as karbonn a9...................but the internal memory of karbonn a9 is good....so i have it

Its not the same. It has a bigger screen and a much bigger battery
Also, its not the same as Huawei Ideos X6 (that was sold as Spice Mi-410, now stopped).
iGyaan + Saholic offers a meager Rs.200 discount on the MRP, totaling Rs.9800, but its available for Rs.9400 elsewhere

A brief review of the Spice Mi425 aka Spice Stellar
I bought it! Had been to a spice store to have a first look at the device. Was pretty much impressed and finally bought it. Here are some impressions gathered over a few weeks with the device:
Here's what you'll like...
The device has 320MB of user-available RAM after a fresh reboot. My Xperia X10 usually has 120-140 MB after a fresh boot.
Installed NFS Hot Pursuit, worked perfectly. (but crashed after 7-8 minutes). EA Real Racing 2 Works Awesome with perfect framerates.
Build quality is somewhere in the bracket (average --- good), but even small falls can give it a few nasty dents - make sure you have a silicon case or a hardshell handy..
Camera quality is pretty decent, though you need to play around with the settings to get a good shot. (Sample Pic)
Flash is extremely powerful and takes some really bright shots even in complete darkness
Updated! Excellent battery life. Scrill down for a complete review of battery performance.
Call clarity is very good and volume earpiece as well as loudspeakers are satisfactory
Updated! Video call/Skype: Video calls on skype work perfectly. Full marks here!!!
Updated! HD Video playback: Capable of playing short clips in 720p resolution. Also plays full movies in 720p but framerate drops and playback is slightly choppy.
...and here's what you won't like...
The proximity sensor issue was present, much like the Micromax A75 and Karbonn A9. It can be sorted out using the last 2 methods (option 4 & oprion 5) provided by prasad12ka4 the Karbonn A9 thread.
Updated! Initially it used to reboot very randomly. After a couple of days of 'running in', it's stable! No more reboots.
Music quality is mediocre at best
Forget gorilla glass. The screen is not even scratch-resistant.
Lots of bloatware (atleast till I get my hands on the root)
Updated! Video is recorded only in 3GP format. (Resolution: WQVGA/854x480, framerate: 30.14 fps, bitrate; 1200 kbps)
Updated! Sample Video Here!
Battery Performance Review New!
An average day of heavy usage used to last me around 18 hrs. I used under the following situations:
Dual SIMs in use
3G always activated on SIM1, only 2G and no internet in SIM2
Data connection always on, wifi always on.
And my usage pattern is usually the following
2-3 hours of 2G calls per day
35-40 text messages per day
Appx 2 hours of browsing on the phone using 3G
Apps 2 hrs of 3G use on my laptop using USB Tethering
Approx 1 hour of HD Games (Splinter Cell Conviction - addicted!)
2-3 snaps on the camera.
With such heavy usage, I am getting a life of 15-18 hours. A fully charged battery comfortably pulls me through from morning till bedtime.
Development & Rooting
For rooting, please follow fonehacker's thread HERE

Excellent battery life. I have been using it quite heavily since last night and battery drop is around 50%. (3 hrs of 3G browsing + 1 hr of 2G calls + 1 hr of music thru earphones + 15-20 photos + misc meddling around with phone)
Call clarity is very good and volume earpiece as well as loudspeakers are satisfactory
Some Cons

Development Scenario
ADB Drivers are available HERE (thanks to sheraz1015)
I spent the entire night trying to get the phone rooted. None of the common methods (SuperOneClick, Doom's RootKit, unlockRoot, GingerBreak.....)
Will be trying this method from the Karbonn A9 thread once I reach home. Will keep y'all updated.

Pretty cool to have firefox on armv6 finally, but the rendering is pretty slow even when I am on a 10mbps WiFi network. But its graphically cool and smooth.

he might have got it from madoco where a thread was recently made.
officially they aren't supporting it but they had a survey in africa and china where they found that most phones are arm6 so they have decided to try to work on it and here comes a version.
the thread mentioned above will always be updated to latest built as he is now developing it and the good thing the first built was shown on a white blade
i have added new mirrors to download the browser because my box bandwidth got blown away because of high amount of downloads. The new mirrors added are direct ftp, mediafire and deposit files

gpu
Pro's
this device is already running on ics
already rooted
IPS tft lcs of 4.3 inch
high power battery
camera quality is greay with autofocus and single led flash
dual sim with wcdma
wifi-hotspot etc
questions-
1)can we tweak the camera to record ''better'' and ''crisp'' quality video of 720p?
2)what about gpu?
as far as I know, it has cortex a9 processor, which does not support andreno 200 gpu.
so which gpu is in the device?
3) everyone knows that ics is high on ram demand as compared to 2.3.6
so does the 512 mb user available ram makes this device a litle slow?
((personal experience on this one))

1. it records 720p at 30fps
2. it has PowerVR SGX531 GPU, and its a ARMv7 NEON processor, not CORTEX a9.
3. it works like charm, and I had no issues wit its smoothness or any lag till date!
how did you install cwm ?
My most used App on a mobile phone
From my past experience, WiFi HotSpot has been my most used App on a mobile phone.
So, does Karbonn A18 it support WiFi HotSpot tethering? Are there any issues in using this feature while being connected to the laptop with a data/charging cable?

Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012

Hello! Installed Most Wanted on my HTC ONE X . Turn on Gaming Boost + CPU for performance. But lagg much. Slow motion. What wrong with our htc. Old phones not lagg for this game. And other tegra 3 no lagg. No optimization on our htc one x?
Please check this game. Do you have the same lags? And what we can do?
Thank you)
Have you tired it without the mods, e.g. as it was designed?
And how to turn off the mods? I installed cache from the game with wifi. All working , but slow motion and laggs. fps slow. And many people say that on htc one x this game lagg.
guys are you buying the game or downloading a cracked version?
apparently there is a Tegra 3 version of this game
T3 version = 12.3MB apk
other = 13.5MB apk

Purhcased version shows 36MB in settings->apps for me
I've got huge problems with download: speed drops after downloading 21MB of data, with both Wi-Fi and data and after that I get an error and download restarts. I'm in Italy, maybe here I got problem with EA servers...
Can't play :crying:
it runs like 23 fps on my hox (stock 4.0.4)
hamdir you don`t have lags in this game?? What rom do you use and how u do that?
hamdir said:
alright folks siutation cleared about Most wanted
well i dont know if the reports of a different version for the N7 are true
but on the One X we get the full graphics flavor including motion blur
it runs 30fps smooth in terms of frame rate, but slow in terms of actual speed, gaming boost enabled ofcourse
if you want it faster switch to in car view
this is my feedback for now, i will report more maybe this is the first slow car to blame?
but yea mind blowing console level graphics

i think difference rom and kernel may give difference result
try fruit ninja THD 1.2 on ARHD 12 or AOSP rom is much more smooth compare to some other rom sense rom,
Every day regret having bought the HOX increases. He could have bought the S3. TEGRA 3 everyone says that's no big deal but always have these problems of slowness, gameloft now that game, saw it complicated.
i can't lie to U guys!
i install the cracked version TEGRA 3 APk and downloaded Tegra 3 DATA!

sucks, the game ran like ****, to using the CM10 is giving 12,650 in 5180 and atuntu quadrant and the game runs like a single core phone. **** THIS TEGRA + ONEX only disappointment. I almost put his hand on a S3, but both cellular're launching now it's better to wait a bit, I never want MORE TEGRA know in my life.

App launch speed

OMG! Kim K posted another selfie with tons of cleavage! Rate this thread to express how quickly apps launch on the Honor 8. A higher rating indicates that even the most intensive apps launch quickly and without hesitation, even if they are no longer in RAM.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Niki Kidman said:
It truly runs fast as ever as I see. Very nice phone with high quality and nice lookout. I' m a game enthusiast and really like to download games, which caused my phone sometimes a little hesitation. I need to use app to boost my phone, clear up memory... It's a privacy protection app -- LEO Privacy with many features, you can try!

If you own another flagship, can you tell us how they perform side by side.
Honor 8 can launch apps really fast. Apps that I use daily are WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube. It is a real enjoyment to see app loads that fast compare to my older phone.

Launching speed? Its the fastest android phone right now. I own it and all I can say it is comparable to ip6s in launching speed. Anandtech did confirm this on their review too.

I saw that too, was actually a factor in me going for it over the 7. But yeah, it's lightning fast.
For sure honor 8 is the best phone for launch speed so far. Even faster than oneplus 3 and iPhone 7. iphone 7 is only faster at launching games

Gaming Laptop Discussion

About a week or two I bought the ROG G14 Zephyrus (GA401QM). This thing is a beast. I cannot believe the power they packed I to such a slim chassis.

The only game I've struggled with is Flight Simulator. Didn't care enough to tweak the settings though, got bored of it. Otherwise I tried Forza Horizon and get over 120fps

You are also paying a premium though for a 3080. Also Razer Blade doesnt have upgradable RAM, no an issue today, but will be down the line. Not a bad machine by any stretch though. My G14 is at 40GB right now
I mismatched the memory (on purpose) because RAM with 22 latency vs 20 on-board latency is $287 vs $160. I lost 4fps using the RAM with 22 CAS but that could also be do to Windows 11. I can live with it if it saves me $120.
