I have all apps extracted from MMX A85, I can send them on mail or upload, let me know how you want to receive it for testing.

Please do me a favour tell me how did you do it I want to test new ROMS on it but am afraid I will lose the factory ROM. Please tell me the root procedure...i will extract the apps myself and if you are a developer you will understand...what exploit works on mmx a85 for rooting ?

First off, thanks a lot applicationz, you rock, I was able to upgrade my 2.2 to 2.3.4, working pretty Good except as you mentioned, Gesture control will not work, proximity sensor works most of the time, sometime does not, games are running well. Everything almost cool.
2.3.4 interface is likeable. Once again, thanks a lot for doing this for A85/W700/A100/2x users.
I am not a developer, just other tech savvy user thats all. Applicationz, his english is not good, might be thats why upgrade process seems to be confusing. So, this is what i did to upgrade.
1. Downloaded the package.
2. extracted all folders from the file and place all under c:\, all of them. then followed process of upgrading as mentioned above.


Also, let me know where do you want this to be uploaded, i dont have much knowledge of file sharing etc.

And sorry for late response, did not check this for a while was busy with 2.3.4... Let me know if anyone has query.
Also, it will wipe off your old os ie froyo 2.2, be sure that you want to void your warranty before you upgrade.

Guys, I was installing another rooted rom 2.3.4 from chinese site after successful upgrade from applicationz 2.3.4.

It seems to have deleted baseband details, I will have to reflash stock rom, unfortunately do not have backup, if anyone has a backup of 2.2 stock rom for mmx a85, let me know, will need it desperately.

Any help will be really appreciated
