XOLO A800 FIRST CUSTOM ROM! JB 4.2.2.

Hello Everyone,

I was finally able to port the first custom rom of xolo a800 with the help of Vipul Verma. He helped me fixing the auto focus and lots of other bugs. And guess what? Its bases on Android 4.2.2.
YES! Buttery smooth Jelly bean 4.2.2 on our mtk6577 phone. :D
The phone has amazing performance, smooth, less ram usage, Camera improved, better Wi-Fi signals, better notifications! So what are you waiting for? Just flash it!
Below are some screen shots! :D




Flashing:
Make sure you have CWM recovery installed on your Xolo A800. Refer my other post on how to do that. :)
First download these files and place it on the root of your sd card.

Next:
1. Switch of phone. Till phone vibrates.
2. Press Vol+ and Power button till you see CWM recovery and some options
3. Use volume keys to go up and down, and power to select.
4. Take full nandroid backup. (Under backup and restore settings)
5. Then go back to previous menu and do the following things:
Factory reset/Data wipe.
Wipe cache.
Wipe delvik cache under advanced settings.
Wipe battery stats.
7. Go back to main menu and install zip from sd card.
8. Flash XOLOA8004.2.2.zip

9. Again choose zip from sd card and install mini gapps.zip
10. Reboot system.
11. Wait for 5 minutes and enjoy.


I haven't noticed any bugs. Everything works perfectly fine. If you experience any difficulties then please comment below and tell me your problem. :)

** UPDATE**
After flashing this rom, the phone heats up a lot and also the battery backup isn't that good. This is because the kernel governor set by xolo is hybrid. This for some reason conflicts with this rom and hence it heats the phone up. To fix that just follow the simple steps in this post:

The problem will be solved. I'm still using this rom. There are absolutely no bugs and it's pure android. No modifications and you can install the google apps you require. :)

    1. That's very easy! Download xposed framework from any where (search on google).
      After installing it, go to download options and download Gravity box for Jelly bean. After installing, reboot and open gravity box where you have tones of options to choose like transparent status bar, change icon colors, etc.
      If you want the icons like mine, then install Nova launcher and download GEL theme. :) That's it. :D

    2. But doesnt it affect the video calling capacity of xolo a800

    3. Hmm I don't use video calling feature and if I knew how to fix it I would have definately fixed the bug. Unfortunately I'm not an expert. Ported so many roms and each had various bugs. This is the best I can do. Sorry. :(
