Root [ROM]ANARCHY RELOADED by Mastermind, first custom rom for Micromax A73

Hey! Your rom seems to be working well in A73 except for a few very nasty BUGs..

1.The Playstore is not fully functional.. CANT DOWNLOAD anything! I had to install a previous version (v.3.8.16)
2. The phone seems to recognise only "EDGE" network! that is 2g.. My 3g (HSPA) network was not available! Hence browsing was terribly SLOW! and video call outta question!
3. The Dual sim functions were not Well Displayed! As in the stock rom, in the dialler, there is a clear option to use either sim1 or 2. but not present in your rom!
4. The Startup and switch off seems to take frustratingly longer..
5.Please provide a good simple CAMERA app!!

I am impressed by your work! But PLEASE do correct these in your next update!
Your fan, Hari! :D

CREDITS:
- A73 users shahabazas & falesh for testing A75 rom on A73
- I have made some changes on this rom now n its not tested yet, so putting a BETA tag.1st few testers will qualify for credits list.
- gta, 1st tester
- drsparsh, 2nd tester n beta tester

KNOWN BUGS:
- Network bug solved
- front camera 90 degree rotated left
- Do report if u find one


REMOTE POSSIBILITY:
- If after flashing rom shows bootanimation but does not get home screen, then just reboot to recovery n reflash the rom zip, this time it will start without a hitch.


ADDITIONAL NOTES:


- 1st boot may take some time, keep this in mind
- Apps in screenshots are not included(e.g.Facebook,Whatsapp etc.), this a basic rom package only to keep the rom size low.
- Requests are invited for changes or app packages
- Int2Ext+ is working fine (U can find it here, just flash the zip)


DISCLAIMER:

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns before flashing! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.


UPDATES:

- For updates, see 2nd post


SCREENSHOTS:

They are from my A75, wait for someone with A73 to post his/her screenshots.

everything is working fine.. there is no lag in dialer as was present in bt 1.1. every thing is super smooth. except i dont like the incoming call screen. Its pretty old. is there any way to change this may be like bt 1.1 or anything different from stock.. and i dont think beatsaudio is working, there is no icon for that (my htc shows icon in notification area). When i go to sound effects in music player n enable it n select any effect. The music player stops and then i have to again play the song again. and volume of music player is lower than bt. BT has better sound quality.
i'm using mmx a73 and volume of music player is lower than bt and same it stop when any sound effect is enable & another thing is that network problem need to change files in next update so pl do it for next update improvement
