A ROM stands for read only memory and the ROMs we generally talk about an Android partition gets written to that partition. These ROMs decide the User Interface and the performance of your device along with a few other things like the custom kernel. The urge to flash custom roms often leads people to root their phone.

  Known Bugs: Clicking Battery option in Settings leads to a Force Close. Also, the network signal stays even when it is not working.
  
  
• Stock Jelly Bean ROM:
  Wasn't it  a list of custom roms for Micromax A110? Yes, it was, but according to me Stock ROM is the most stable rom for any phone and given that no rom for Canvas 2 has been built from source and are just aggregation of tweaks, you can try all those tweaks on your stock ROM itself. If you want to revert to the stock jelly bean rom for Micromax A110, head here. As expected, it is totally bugless.

This is it. Whew, it took me a lot of time to gauge user's response for the bucketloads of roms available of Micromax A110 and to select the best few. If you feel any other rom deserves a place here, comment below. At this time, a poll is also running about the same topic. It is on the right sidebar, do participate there.
