a very simple solution, take a backup from your friends phone. flash your phone with flashtool to original firmware and then again flash to custom rom.

MMX A100.

Recently i installed ZEAM LAUNCHER which have simple & clean features and very light. Now my cell is pretty faster than previous launcher.

I ve one question, i've FREEZED stock keyboard, stock browser, stock launcher and replaced it with touchpal keybaord, dolphin browser, and zeam launcher with the help of TITANIUM BACKUP PRO. Will there be any problem in future?

i have rooted my phone micromax A110 but i don't know how to remove pre installed trial and junk apps please help me

 

[Vyom]

^^ Install Titanium Backup.
Refer the thread, *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/mobiles-tablets/151345-faq-android-customization-tips-tricks.html to get an idea about what apps are safe to remove.
But whatever app you remove, first take a backup through Titanium Backup only.
