Is there any option available by means of which we can replace the stock FM radio app with another FM radio app ( because FM radio does not play in stereo in this A50 wheras it was working in stereo in my old A70 MODEL )
 
I also got rooted successfuuly my A50. Thanks for all seniors for there hard work. Now waiting for CWM for A50.
One more good news that flash player 10.3.185 application which we were using in A70 is also working in this A50.device-2012-06-01-180200.png
 
Varun Sir, Can you give me instructions which keys are helpful in taking stock rom backup after rooting. ( so far there is no use of ROM MANAGER as it is not having CWM recovery for A50 ).
Can anyone give me the .apk file of FM radio from the root access of their A70. I just want to give it a try in A50.
 
thanks a lot.. now i can install screen capture utilities...

BTW is there any way if we can tweak home/menu keys to wake up from screen.. actually now pressing power button everytime is very annoying

I am using Advanced Task Kill Pro with excellent battery save benefits. What you need is an auto kill function that is within this above mentioned app.
In fact this was the very first app along with an app Screen Off that I installed on my phone.

You have to go in the app settings and create an ignore list for default android modules like for contacts and bluetooth etc. Rest all apps will be killed at the Screen Off event. Thereby reducing RAM and CPU and Display load very frequently. Also there is a setting to choose the Auto Kill level and frequency. There is also a security level wherein on setting low, it will kill almost all processes or apps except the bare minimum os modules to keep the phone running.
 
what are advantage of rooting the android phone?
