Sorry folks i haven't tried this Rom becoz the members said its only having a customization at cost of performance and i hate this,also its an improvement of Hybrid v2,so by just conversing i am going to post the PROS and CONS
PROS
PROS
- Fast
- Marvelous Looks
- WiFi working
CONS
- Fast Battery Drain
- Bad music quality(as in hybrid v2,i told u its an modification not improvement of that)
Download link of zip is here
The best Rom till now acc. to me,it was released twice with second release of v1(ie v1.3.2) having some stability improvements. As its name suggests its an fusion of asevmaxx and leandros v1 Roms published earlier.
So it inherits all properties of leandros v1(with fixed wifi)
As i always do ,keeping it short here i goes directly to PROS and CONS

Final Verdict:
A thumbs Up!!!A very good ROM,an excellent effort without source code.The best ROM and I too uses this in my device and will continue to , till the day i delete this line
So Download links Are here
ALSO A TREAT FOR CUSTOMIZATION LOVERS,JUST FLASH THIS ZIP AFTER SUCCESSFUL INSTALL OF ROM and get the looks below free free free !!!
A successor(acc. to developer but actually it was not)to hybrid v1 ,as we know the dev. of HYBRID roms was actually dev of asevmaxx roms so he just keep on customizing leandros or asevmaxx and this time he customized asevmaxx.
So came the problems also all the problems of asevmaxx v2 got inherited
Shorty short topic so PROS and CONS

The day finally came when i and other user got a sigh of relief ,the day was publishing of this ROM an excellent work-piece by Mr. Karan of "Android-forums" and a brilliant ROM for micromax a70 in the absence of its source code
Hats-Off to the man
Now cutting it short to PROS and CONS

The latest download link of leandros v1 having WiFi fix by rahul is here
In every aspect it was a superb effort and one of my favorite roms
The words of the developer "It's the second iteration of the Leandros ROM",well it was not, seriously speaking it was a fail,sorry karan but u have to admit it
Cutting it short ,so we are not going to discuss PROS and CONS as it is same as v1 but with some performance improvement and some great apps but it accompanies heavy battery drain and no wifi
Apps Bundled

Apps Bundled
- LauncherPro is default Launcher /balancer as substitute
- File Expert which also has a root browser
- Live Wallpapers(was excluded in previous version)
- Substrate Live Wallpaper bundled
- No-Frills CPU bundled
- K-9 mail bundled .Its better than gmail .Trust me .
- Titanium backup for backup/restore
- ROM ToolBox for the many tweaks your heart desires (but doesn't support A70 so its a waste).
Download the Zip from here

For those who wants to download ,sorry its taken off now !!! Plz get some other ROM.
Now this is the most sensitive area ,so plz be serious and pay attention to each and every institution,so here are my instructions(a note; if u have been listening with full attention and care then by now u would have noticed the my mistake of writing instruction as institution ,i u have then its good ,if not then get the Hell serious,its not a joke !!! )
Instructions are divided on two parts(i.e. if u have a ROM with its kernel or u have a ROM without kernel)
First Common instruction is DO a Backup of your working device via CWM Recovery or any other recovery you know
Secondly i assume that u have copied the ROM zip file to your SD-card already and
Thirdly that you are on Stock Rom ohterwise,plz first roll back to it,as it ensures problem and successful flash of ROM

- For Rom Without kernel zip along with it
- Boot into CWM recovery by first switching off and the powering on the device by holding the button combination(varies with device,for A70 its VOL.Down button and power button)
- Take a Backup
- Factory reset from the menu of CWM
- Flash the ZIP of the ROM from the folder in which u kept it on your sd-card
- After flashing of rom /installation of rom by CWM is done then
- Reboot
- And Voila its done(if it Boots up !!!)
- For Rom With Kernel zip
- same procedure as above upto point no. 5
- after that again flash a zip that is having the kernel
- now same as from point no. 6 upto point no. 7
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any carelessness made by you resulting into bricking or BLAH BLAH !!! type thing. Do it at your own risk

In this post i will tell you about the 5 most essential and RECOMMENDED apps to get the most out of A70(irrespective if you are running stock or any other ROM) as we know system tweaking(android booster),security(netqin se curity full)and many other social apps like fb,ebuddy etc. and opera mini are already included in stock rom,but still we need some more apps to get the best of A70,so here are they
- PowerAmp :Due to limitation of the stock player to play only mp3 and some other type of files(i don't remember them ) so to overcome this and play any(almost) audio format like mp3,wma,etc and it also have a equalizer(also having a option called "Phone(loud)" optimized for speaker only)
So it's monster app. to play any(again almost) type of audio file type
Also the monster apps don't come free,but still it has a trial version to try out,full version to buy out or any cracked version(if any,just Google it) to try full without buying. - QQPlayer :As its slogan go's Any Video,Anywhere, and they mean it,yes you can play any popular format of video file,even HD(if you are having a decent processor of MHz or above),it also comes with an option of suppressing image quality to play even HD(Not Full HD)videos but they will not remain HD for the playing time,but they playback will be smooth.
So it's a monster app. for playing videos,and we have a surprise for you,its totally FREE,yes it comes totally free(till now). - UCBrowser: No need to mention it clearly says all by its name,although A70 stock browser supports all advanced functions,but still we need it to get complete PC web browsing experience as it has flash player 10.0.1 already embedded in it,whats more its also FREE,also i forgot to mention,it supports the latest and refreshing HTML5,so rock the web with it
- Download All Files : An irritating feature which every stock browser(even if its nokia or any other ,and in this case android) has that it prevents some type of files from downloading,so for this Download All Files comes to rescue. Just install it and download any file,whats more it also comes FREE.
- Tubemate :I think till now you must have got the hint,for those who haven't its you-tube video down-loader and i must say an excellent down-loader ,can download any format you want also allow us to stream videos via stock player.
Well that's all for now,stay tuned for more interesting apps,especially for A70.
In this post i will tell you about a simple application to root your a70(and many other devices)
The application is called z4root
The application is called z4root

| Screenshot of z4root |
The link to download page is here(the developers page),or if you get any warning by your anti-virus then you can Google it
Basically this app has got two modes:
Temporary Root
In this once root,you will be rooted till next boot(means restart) but the super-user app is to un-installed manually if you want root to be completely wiped out from your device
Permanent Root

Pros
Now the time for Pros and Cons
Pros
- good display,actually best in its class
- very tough screen,although not gorilla glass but enough to bear a sudden jerk
- best call quality,with least call-drops among the whole range of smartphones
- GPU Aderno 200,makes almost all(excluding HD)games to work on this device flawlessly
- 5.0 Mega-pixel camera
- Front Vga camera
- Good Loudspeaker
- Quite responsive touch
- Almost all essential apps like Mobile Guard,Mobile Security,Google maps,opera mini,facebook,ebuddy,etc. are already installed
NOW its time for Cons
- Very Weak wifi antenna almost u can say negligible,u have to sit very close to router to get wifi signals
- NO flash for camera
- Not flash player enabled device ,but that can be installed by a method in further posts
- no upadte of 2.3 from micromax,nor a custom kernel as kernel source is not released by micromax so we cannot port any other rom to this mobile(New to android ?,just forget about this point !!! come back later after buying the phone,for now go to next point)
- vibrator problem,sometimes a little jerk makes its loosely connected vibrator to stop working,that too can be restored by again giving a jerk
- 190mb internal space,so if not modified(for modifications refer further posts) can run into low memory space problem.
- this point is only for advanced users,low 152 mb of ROM disk so ROM must have to be de-oxidized., also to get adb support one have to struggle for this device
- Poor micromax service,i.e. if once your phone gets into some problem,fooooo its gone for a long time
So these are all the pros and cons and some specifications of Micromax a70 ,now choice is yours !!!!!!!
