The bitter truth that Micromax has never provided any official Firmware update for any of its Funbook tablets makes us use the same old stock rom until the tablet remains with us. If you are finally fed up and want to change the UI using any Custom ROM, here i suggest you one called “LightningROM”. This is an Android 4.1 Jellybean based Custom ROM that offers several new and important features such as BeatsAudio, Bravia Engine, Dolby Beats Audio, ClearBass Audio Effect, Adrenaline Boost, and many more. The list goes on. If you want to install the LightningROMon your Funbook Pro, here is the step by step process.
Before you start the installation, process, there are some stuffs you should be ready such as:
- Atleast 70% of battery charged on your tab.
- A USB cable for transferring files on your Tab’s MicroSD Card.
- Download and save ‘LightningROM‘ on your desktop
- Download and save ‘gapps-jb‘ on your desktop
- Download and save ‘Multi DPI Play Store for JB‘ on your desktop

Once you ready with all above stuffs, follow these steps to install Android Jellybean based LightningROM on Micromax Funbook Pro:
- Copy/transfer all above downloaded files to your Funbook’s Memory card. Copy it to the root of memory so that they can be accessed easily during the process
