Micromax A110 enjoys a spree of unofficial Jelly Bean ROMs now, Thanks to Mobistel Cynus T2

Micromax A110 users will always be grateful to Mobistel, the company that sells a A110 namesake as Cynus T2. I can hear some of you (especially those who haven't read the A110 Development stories) asking the question why Micromax users are thankful to a unknown (or little known) German company. The reason is because of the launch of an software update to Jelly Bean by Mobistel, they can now enjoy Jelly Bean exclusive stuff like Google Now, smarter notifications and a better default keyboard.

This is a compilation of all the unofficial Jelly Bean based custom ROMs available for our beloved Micromax A110. I am including the summary of features of the ROMs along with a bit of an overview, a link to their original development threads, so you can decide on the one you should try out. But believe you me, all of them are worth a shot, especially if you have a decent internet connection and some spare amount of time for testing out the ROMs. Because a great Android saint has said," Time and Internet are only two things you should have if you want to tinker with your Android to customize it fully to suit your needs."

Update: All jelly based custom roms are reportedly having poor camera quality, if you want to solve it, read this.

Jelly Bean Based ROMs for Micromax A110:

Mobistel Cynus T2 Official Jelly Bean ROM:

  • Overview: I was rather confused whether this rom should be included in a list of unofficial roms because this rom is official for Mobistel Cynus T2 users but unofficial for Micromax A110 users. It is a thumb rule that any rom not released by the device manufacturer themselves is said to be unofficial, but as Mobistel isn't the manufacturer of A110, and this post is targeted towards A110 users, therefore I decided to place it in here. The rom is quite stock like and you won't find most features you would generally look for in a custom rom. You will just get the Jelly Bean goodies that Google had in store for Android 4.1, nothing extra.
  • Features:
    • As Cynus T2 comes with a 12 MP camera, this rom will increase the resolution of the output files your camera will produce when you flash it on your Micromax A110.
    • Internal SD card size is about 1.05 GB while space available for apps installation is also around 1 GB.

JigarPattani's Jalebi ROM:

  • Overview:Jigarpattani is the same guy who cooked JMP ROM a few weeks back.This time, the Jalebi ROM is based on Jelly Bean, and the popularity of the rom can be gauged by the fact that this tom's support thread has received over 490 replies.

    Dr. Bhokali's ROM is pretty simple and sleek, but is super smooth too. I am running out of words for this rom as I haven't tested this one. (I don't have a A110 but test some stuff out on my friend's A110.)

AMOI N820 Official Jelly Bean ROM:

  • Overview:
    I don't know anything about this rom, apart from the fact that it is the official rom for AMOI N820. Another thing I have known from the snapshots is that UI is heavily doped.
